Well, what's on the podcast today, friendly pants. Well, there's
a certain NBA player who has a surname that is

Two on the ground picking your teeth up.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Which of the following was commonly used as toilet paper
in the Old West? Sack was an acorn cobs b
sand paper, and for the cricket is see bison pelts.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
In the Old West, they didn't have toilet paper. Bison pelt.
Bison pelts should be a singer. Bison's a b animal. Yeah,
but you wouldn't use the whole pelt. No, no paper, No,
that's you'd have to put it into strips. You would
use a whole one. But no, they didn't use that.

(07:49):
I don't know why. When you hear what they actually used,
you think, why didn't you use a bison? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
But it's like what they do, you know, all the
toilet paper as they have their little soft doggies advertising
and ducks and ducks.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
What are you wiping your with a dock and a dog? Well,
we also have toilet ducks. There's a theme. You're right,
I'm onto something. You are on something. Thursday ninety seven,

use corn cobs or sandpaper as toilet paper?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Sam Podcast went to the Magnificent seven.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Amy's in Concord. Amy, Hi, Hello, we're up to question
number four. We've ruled out bison Peltz, although that makes
the most sense. Which of the following two was commonly
used as toilet paper in the Old West? Corn cobs
or sandpaper.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
And corn cobs?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, they use dried corn cobs, so cheap, reusable and
surprisingly gentle. It says here. You don't see that in
the ads. You'd use it? You wouldn't use it like that? No, no, no,
Well who needs to clean way up inside? It's side
to side. You've been in there for ages, mate, what

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Goozman and Gomez, the namesakes of the Mexican food chain
are real chefs who founded the business.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Is this true or false?

Speaker 7 (09:13):
I think true?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Sorry, Amy, Ruth's in roselle Ruthie.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Hi, guys, how are you very well? Guzman and Gomez
are they real chefs who founded the business? Is that
the real names false?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
The company was just founded by two New Yorkers and
Guzman and Gomez just made up. The New Yorkers were
Hedge Fungeveg Hedge fund managers, not Veg Fedge Funge managers.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
That's hard to say. And they're called Stephen Robb, which
is not as catchy as Gozman. And that's quite true.
I know when my son.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Always orders the Guzman and Osman delivers the goodsman.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
And what about Gomez? No, no, whether he's not part
of them, he's not part of the pun part of
your game.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Podcast, The Legendary Burt Jonesy, Great Amanda the Actress.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Hello Wickles, Hello Ben. Let's just thumb through the Gerlman
Eggers The Big Book of Musical Facts. On this day.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
In nineteen eighty four, Phil Bailey and Phil Collins released
their hit easy Lover Two Phils.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
There was a big thing back in the eighty four.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Remember that you see it on He Hate Saturday, The
Two Phils Molly Meldrum's Remember that segment he did on
that show for two Phils?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
He did how Many Are There?

Speaker 2 (12:09):
He did melodrama, Molly's melodrama, and then he talked through
all the hits and stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Did they have a few songs together? It was Chinese
wallered you it?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Phil worked with Phil on China Phil, Phil your mate?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Your boyfriend? Who Phil Collins?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, he worked with Phil Bailey on the Chinese Wall
but wasn't crazy?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Came home again? Okay, I'm third office.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Keep it rabbitat you see it scored them the United
eighty five MTV Music Award for Best Overall Performance, Really Phil,
which thrilled both of them were equally thrilled.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Phil squared Phil said.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
This is your boyfriend, Phil the hip hopagade fell in
love with me after Easy Lover.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
They were like, where that music come from? Then he
played music and dnie what music?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Fog Horn legal, that's kind of an interesting color of beige.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh, that's un fair. I don't think it's beige. Should
we play it? I think it's gold? Like this for
your team. The Sharks did well on the weekend. The
Roosters didn't win. Right. We've been doing our footy tips
differently this year, so rather than having people on giving

(13:19):
their tips, ex football players.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Ex football players are the most unreliable people in the world.
How they even function in life, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
We'll Trying to get them on the phone in the
morning was a challenge.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
And for the money you offer them everything that they need,
everything they do.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
For some reason, it's just too hard. They're either on
the golf course or something, or just basic things.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
They're in a queue at the airport and can't do
two things at once.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
So what we thought we'd do. I thought it'd be
an interesting experiment where we'd get we go through the
newspaper or look on lane and find out what all
the experts are saying, well the pundits, what the pundits
are saying who they are tipping versus random picks. And
the way I've been picking them randomly is by me
throwing darts at you. You've been in protective gear, your

(14:06):
motorcycle jacket, leg pads, throat protector, that kind of thing,
and you hold up paddles with the various teams and
I throw darts at you.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I thought this was a good idea up until I
learned that you cannot throw for level money.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
It goes to the ready. Oh I was heading for
your face. Have you wet yourself? Well, let's see how
we're going. Last week we're calling it smart versus dart.
Last week Smart the tipster's got two out of eight,

(14:38):
I throwing a dart got five. Does that mass make sense?
This week though Smart got six out of eight and
I got two, the maths isn't adding up, So who's winning?

Speaker 8 (14:50):
Well?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Overall? Overall there have been three games this year. I'm
on two, Darts on two, smart is on one just
goes to show it, doesn't it speaking of sport, No,
it does. It goes to show a lot. It goes
to show.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
It just goes to show what it goes to it
shows everything.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It shows that you can be the best expert in
the world and you can still be beaten by someone
just throwing a random dart. That's what it shows. What
it shows to me is that I've got to pad
up again this week, and you do. There's an American
basketballer and his name is Grady Dick. Dick. Isn't that
unusual a surname, is it? Lots of people have a
Dick Curt surname Dick. But the but the announcers, as

(15:32):
you can imagine in a game of basketball, are loving
it enormously. So here's some of the commentary. It's around
Grady Dick, try to penetrate outside. They trying to go
back door with Dick. Dick heart charge into the cup.
Dick was going to score. I think was coming wide
open back door. Dick couldn't hit it. Dick goes down,
Jick rises off, you can, Deck goes dout. We with

(15:54):
Dick is out Dick struggling big time, Tony I'd have
a field day. And I don't know what's happened though,
but they've all decided all of a sudden to get
prudish and embarrassed, and they're going out of their way
now not to say his name. Pretty ditchler bucket of
the game brings it back to nineteen Let's just call
him greedy. Let's just call him greedy for the rest
of it again. Right, they're choosing not to say Dick. Why,

(16:17):
I don't know. There's suddenly prudish. Maybe this is the
new Trump America. I don't know. But have you heard
My husband alerted me to this stree in the World Cup.
There's a professional baseball player for the Dominican Republic and
his name is Albert. This is how you spell the
surname p u j o ls p uj Here's how
it is pronounced, right side and foul ground.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
Albert poohle squeeze is our number two.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I don't know what they're going to do with that. No,
that's absolutely true. Albert pooh holes one of the best
players in the world. Hellos Jones.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand of arms
for the pub test.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
We've spoken about this at length before.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I have no problem with it. Some people do those
people going through your bins? Does it pass the pub test?
And we started talking about this, tell the class what
happened to you?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, you've kind of given away what the end of
the story is really. But every now and then, maybe
once a month, I think, have I closed the garage
door when I leave for work in the morning, and
so sometimes I know I circle around the block. But
the other morning, I thought, I'll just reverse down the road,
which is terrifying because it's big four will drives park.

(17:35):
There's a lot of flats around us, so everyone's parking
on the street. And do you like reversing? I hate it.
It's terrifying down a narrow road. The worst part when
I had to teach my kids to drive was driving
around the narrow streets where we live. It's terrifying. So
me trying to drive back to what's terrifying is you're
teaching someone to drive. So I'm dealing with all of that.

(17:57):
So I'm going very slowly backwards down the road and
I see a woman standing on the side of the
road and I thought, oh, she's waiting for an ubers.
But I thought she might be freaked out that I'm
going so slowly backwards down the road. She might think
I'm stalking her or something. So I wind the window
down and say, don't worry, I'm just reversing right. And
then I realized she couldn't care less because she was

(18:18):
going through the bins, and I thought, I don't want
her to think that I was shaming her by surveillance.
That's what it looked like I was doing. So I
had apologized for her for surveiling her and then apologize
for her first, Sorry, I'm for your fine. Whatever you're
doing is awful, and then I just sped off again.

(18:41):
I don't know whether my drive my garage was open
or not. And then I had to go to the
airport fly this season. I've never come back, so I'm
so embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, But away from that, as we were talking about
this morning, people people and the crew here were talking about, oh,
that's terrible when they go through your bins.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
So what I do is I put all the can
I make a thing. I put the cardboard at the bottom,
and I'll put all the cans at the bottom bottles
at the top.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
So there's a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, so the dude can get well, I have a
lot of people that.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Come around in my head, dude or do this, Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Largely the dude comes around and he just takes them
and what I do as well as I give him
his space while he does that.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
So when he's going through yellow Beach but you're not there.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Usually I put the yellow bin out and then he
will come along and then I'll wait to put the
red beIN out.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
So is this happening in daylight hours. Yeah, it happens
in daylight outs.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
And then I figured if you're getting up at four
o'clock in the morning to pour cans and bottles out
of the bin, you know you might do something else.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Chances are they are doing something else as well. Yeah,
that's true. That's the thing. I have no problem with it,
but I don't know. I feel uncomfortable if someone's rubbaging
around my red bin. Yeah, no one goes through your
red bin. Well, how do you know if they're just
going through all your stuff and it's not illegal. It
is legal if people aren't trespassing or they're not leaving

(19:59):
litter outside the bin. So there's no hard rules around this.
I think it passes the pub test. Look, I think
it is. I think I think if people are going
through to get your recyclables, that's fine, but it does
make me slightly anxious if people are rummaging through my bins.
What do you think, Jem jam Nason, Josie, Amanda.

Speaker 10 (20:18):
Anyone, but you're stealthy.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Joined top of the money to you, Monday, the twenty
fourth of March. I've just been watching the snow White,
the new controversial Disney snow White, and the Seven Dwarves are.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Calling at that now have you? You haven't watched the movie,
just the trailer.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
And I was watching it on the Telly last night
and came on and then I was looking at snow
White no one. Well, you know, she's not like the
snow White princess that I imagined.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
She would be.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
And I was discussing this with my wife. Well, snow White,
the whole premise of that, tell me the story?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
How does snow White?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
The story goes, so, the evil step mother goes to
the mirror each day who is the fairest of the mall?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And the mirror says, well, it's you know it's not you.
I wish it was you. Your stepdaughter is your stepdaughter.
She vanished it in the woods. I don't know. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
That's all well and good, but snow White in this
it's got a bit of a Princess Fiona vibe about.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, not attractive enough for you. No, I'm just saying
it's like Jack Reacher. You know, she looks like Jack Reacher.
Jack Reacher is six foot seven tall, if you.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Read the books, six foot seven, he's six foot seven.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
He's a ball and muscle.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
And then they put Tom Cruise in there, who is
not six foot seven.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
And so what you're saying is this, she.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Is the fairest of the wall. So what happens is
the evil stepmother.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Who was by gal. It was incredibly Look I've got
them side by side. She plays the most beautiful She's
a beautiful maman.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
If you had to say, who was hotter out of
snow White and yeah, you'd be.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Saying, well, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
So anyway, she disguised herself as a hag, goes into
the forest, gives snow White the poison apple.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Snow White eats the apple, goes to a sleep.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Prince comes along, not Princess in Prince Purple rain princess.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I know, I remember cases. When do the dwarves come in?
She looks after him. Isn't that sleeping beauty that you've
just described. It's pretty with grim brothers. Really they had
one Trope goes to sleep and doesn't talk for all,
Rapunzel letting down her hair and all that junk. So
you don't think snow White's attractive enough? I just think

(22:19):
for this, don't at me about this. She doesn't. She's
quirky attractive. She looks like the girl from who played
Wednesday in the Adams Family remake. So quirky, young, interesting, attractive.
Her eyes are a little bit wide and yeah, and
so she's not classically beautiful like gal Gado.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
So what's gal Gado worried about? She's going to walk
into the forest with the apple. Don't waste your time.
And also the example myself. Oh bugger, it's poisoned.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
People are also saying that there's a workness to this
that they're not liking, because there's no dwarves, there's no
short statute people, it's just a mishmash of quirky genders
and and sizes. You know, just come up with new stuff, disnety.
That's all. You gotta do new stuff. There's people out
there coming up with stuff all the dark time. Just
make new stuff. Just making news and stitch. That was original.

(23:11):
That was good. I never saw that. Remember, incredible journey.
Was it like an octopus and a stick and as
chewing gum to travel the world. There you go, Disney,
There you go, Disney.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's one for free and we'll do the voices my
bags being the stick.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Sham Notion podcast When.

Speaker 11 (23:33):
God I wanted to get up right now your windows,
stick your head.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
Out and yell hell.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
People going through your bins? Does it pass the pub test?
Some people like it, some people don't. I mean people
feel quite possessive of their bins. It's my personal property.
But then again, in the cost of living crisis, if
people are going through to find your refundable recyclables, you're
refundable recyclables. So that's something from Katherin Kim, Well, what's
the harm to you? Legally they can do this if

(24:08):
they're not trespassing on your private property and if they're
not leaving litter outside the bin.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Do the ghost through my bin. He's so good he
just you wouldn't even know.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
He's been there.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
This says big Week Brenda, and I get a sense
of satisfaction.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You must love going to your place. Did you pay
that week? Okay? I entertain a lot of people. Ah,
that's what you're telling. How do you feel people going
through your bins? Does this pass the pub test? No
it doesn't.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
I do not like it.

Speaker 11 (24:36):
But they make a mess in your faint yard and
they make a noise in the morning.

Speaker 12 (24:40):
Oh it's terrible.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Oh hell no, I hate it, just scubby.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
You know it's been gourby for reasons.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yes, I think it goes past their pub test because
cost of living. Everyone's struggling. As long as they're doing
it respectfully, not kipping the bin up, going having it
go everywhere, and not doing it five o'clock in the
morning waking every one up, I think it does pass
the prepair desis.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
We've had the Pooh jogger, We've had the bicycle jogger. No,
that the bike poor? Yeah, I think that was on
That was doctor Carr. And now we've got the open
home poor. I read a story on the weekend. People
are saying something unusual is happening in the real estate market.
Someone it's happened twice in a row that these people

(25:27):
had an open home viewing for their home with a
real estate agent there. They came home both times and
someone had left an enormous, unflushed number two in the toilet.
Someone else was saying that they had moved out of
their home at the end of lease. They'd cleaned it perfectly.
Then they got a call from the real estate agent saying, well,
the bathroom is disgusting. They say, what do you mean,
There's a big number two in there that they hadn't left.

(25:50):
What's going on is there's some speculation that people are
trying to sabotage properties for others. If you're going to
an open home inspection because properties are so high to
get that, you're putting other people off. In the Brady Bunch,
they just put a sheet over the head and try
to scare people. Here, I measure if the Brady Bunch
had done this before they joined the Klan. The Brady

(26:11):
Bunch pretended it was hoarded. Yeah, so we thought we'd
get to the bottom of this. I have a friend
who's a real estate agent. We're not going to use
his name. Hello Anon, Hello, Amanda and Jonesy.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
We've used your we've got your voice running through a
voice disguiser.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Actually don't really don't we know? We don't thought we were.
He always sounds like that. Okay, now, can you tell
us having heard what I've just said, is this something
that's really weird or have you come across this yourself?

Speaker 11 (26:39):
No, definitely. We've had times where people have come into
your open home and asked to use the bathroom, and
early on in your career you think it never occurs
to you that someone's going to do a number two,
So you think that's fine if you quickly need to
go us the bathroom very quickly. Once the smoke detectors
start going off in the house, once they've done the

(27:00):
number two, you realize that that's not what I had
in mind. And so it has happened.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Quite a few times the earl in your career.

Speaker 11 (27:08):
And then now you just say to people, know there's
a shop down the road or the hotel across the road.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
It makes people do it? What makes people want to
do a number two in someone else's house.

Speaker 11 (27:19):
It's strange to us that people would think it's like
you're arrest stop, but they do do it.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
They do stop in and.

Speaker 11 (27:26):
Just say can we quickly use the bathroom? Even when
there's like thirteen fourteen people walking through the house.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right, So people actually will stop in at an open
home even if they're not looking at the house, because
they want to use the toilet.

Speaker 11 (27:38):
Yes, like the wife, we had joggers run past, they
can we quickly use this bathroom?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
You know?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
So is it a strategy to put someone else off
buying the house?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Though?

Speaker 11 (27:50):
I think for the rental market there's probably more a
strategy for people, But I don't think for the selling side.
I think people are just having to go.

Speaker 13 (27:58):
To the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Wow. And so what other stories did you have of
the kind of people coming through people's house, Because if
you're selling your house, you'd be horrified that someone's just
going to do a big number two?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (28:09):
Absolutely, because it's not what you want at all for
obvious reasons.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
It's not what you get.

Speaker 11 (28:16):
You get all sorts of things, like people. The classic
is they try and bring their dogs in. That's not
an uncommon one.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Will they bring their dog into the house.

Speaker 11 (28:25):
Well, they try to changing. You don't let them bring
it in, but they try to hide it down.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
They jump up. They do all sorts of things. What
about the time you've told me that someone was an
open for inspection for a rental and someone had passed
out on the bed.

Speaker 11 (28:39):
There was actually a sales open and someone had a
big night and they were quite not well. So we
had forty people lined up, so he just wouldn't wake up.
He was okay, we was breathing. But I rolled him
up in the dinner and we had to.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Open the home.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
So people were coming out and saying, you know, there's
a blake a sleep.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
In the bed, rolled up in the corner. I said, yeah, no,
I put him there. Worry about him.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
You'd have a you'd have some sort of acronym for
that sleeping tenant.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's got an st lock up garage. So when you
heard this story, what about people doing number two's, it's
not weird to you. It's just you have seen this
time and time again.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
It's not surprising that people do that.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
People do do that at all.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I'm going to ask you this question, have you ever
been called on and felt the need when you're in
someone's house.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
As never once changing, never once r That's what they
always prepared, That's what the Garden's.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
For Oh, thank you, Jim, Oh God, thank you, mister Anonymous,
thank you, sorry mate, carry on about you.

Speaker 11 (29:43):
Good Win on the Shafts on the Week.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, well, bad luck for the bunnies. I think we've
kept to giveaway. He's a bunny supporter. He's got all
his own teeth. You know who it is.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Good on you, Anonymous, Thank you, Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
You should podcast Brendon and Levanda and you're on the
same show. Let's start wearing lipstick. Fantastic. She is a
good friend of the show.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Aida Nikodim, who celebrates twenty five years playing Leah or
was it Leed's Lee on Amazing?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Should you know that? I've just been looking through some
of the storylines she's had and we'll talk to her
about this. I think she's been married three times a character,
but engaged thirteen times, so she's a hot prospect. Everyone
that meets her wants to marry her.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
She's been involved in three crashes playing playing car, so
two plane crashes and a car crash.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
That's a lot for a person that's her character. Not Aida,
of course. Her first ever scene on Home and Away
went like this, Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
For stopping.

Speaker 14 (30:47):
I've been standing at you for ages, just wondering where
I was going to do.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Someone didn't eventually stop. I was going to be stuck
at you all day. She's synonymous with the show. How
does it end she's still outside us with the show?
Twenty five years is an extraordinary milestone. She's going to
be joining shortly. The little christening for the little grandchild.
I love all this. Have you ever been to a

(31:11):
Greek Orthodox church before?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
No, it's like the Catholic Church sort of.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
It's the wonderful rituals. It's kind of high. I do
like the rituals.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
I had to say to my daughter because she sort
of leaned over and she said, so do these guys.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Do they support Jesus to go for the other team?
I said, up on the crucifix, that's the same Jesus,
the same guy. Fair enough. You sent me some photos.
They do the full dunking. I don't. My family's not
into Christenings and things, so we haven't had I'm not christened.
We haven't had our children christen No.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
My kids are Christian, you know, the Catholic thing. But
they just do a little bit of water on.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
That's what I thought, from what I've seen in movies
and when I don't know if I've only been to
a couple of them, the baby is fully closed, hells
in the arms. There's a font of water and some
drops of that go on the forehead. That's what I
thought happened. But this was the full dunking make around.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Baby is stripped nude and then plopped into the everything off.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
And yeah, so I hope they rinse that water out
of and then they put some oil on him and
some jewels, big, big, big yeah, to keep. It's like
a pity of the fall, of course, to keep. They
don't take it back. Well I did not. I think
you buy the jewels. Someone bought the jewels, and I
love all that great. From the pictures you sent me,

(32:27):
he's fully immersed in the cauldron. Yeah, it's not a
cold like and so right down in. They don't put
his head under today there's a little.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Bit of Yeah, he gets a fair dunking and then
let me get right in there and have a look.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
That's it's great because they're all rituals. These days with
the babies, you don't have many rituals. I love ritual
you know when Morgan was born of those years ago.
It was different, different kettle of fish. I was there
at the berth. Of course he was dunked into a
kettle of fish. But you know the kids these days,
they like the skin to skin.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
You know, the baby comes out and then the dad
bonds with the baby.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I suggest going to do that. Yeah, I love it.
I suggested skin to skin to skin, so me and
him and then the baby. Right, and is that when
they tasted you said you've had enough much happiness. I
absolutely love it. Make sure podcast? Can you believe it?

(33:25):
Our next guest has been a regular on our screens
for twenty five years. Aida Nicodemu was celebrating this massive
milestone at Summer Bay. A bit of sweet week though,
because it's also Lin mcgrange's final week. She plays Irene
and I know she's your great, great friend. How are
you eight? Really well? Yeah, morning, nice to see you.
When you first started, we played a snippet of your

(33:46):
very first episode a little a bit earlier. I want
to know how it ends. Can you just play more
of it? Because you had me. I've been waiting here
for ages. Thank you so much for stopping. I've been
standing at you for ages, just wondering what I was
going to do. Someone eventually stopped. I thought I was
going to be stuck.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
At you all day.

Speaker 13 (34:03):
Yeah, We're good.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Anywhere really now anywhere cheaper.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
I can find a room and a meal and.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
A shower at the Virgin Mary shower.

Speaker 13 (34:11):
Were you at the.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Sounds great?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
You were trying to give the I guess as an
actor that you talked a lot Leah.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Did you said? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (34:22):
She she never shut up? Yeah, yeah, so she did
talk very different to EIGHTA. Eight is so quiet.

Speaker 13 (34:28):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Were you supposed to be on as a regular character
for this long?

Speaker 15 (34:33):
Like?

Speaker 1 (34:33):
What was? What did you think it would be?

Speaker 14 (34:35):
I was very lucky enough to be written into the show,
like so the writers from another show that I was
working on wrote this character for me, and they asked
me to be long running. But I was only going
to come on for six months. I didn't want to
do any longer twenty five years later because I didn't
know whether I'd like it, and I just didn't. I'd
come off another soap and I hated it. So I thought, look,

(34:58):
I'm just going to do six months and then move
on to something else.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
So what did you hate about it?

Speaker 14 (35:03):
Breakers was just a really hard show to work on
for many, many different reasons. It was nothing like Home
and Away. There was sort a lot of stuff behind
the scenes that was working.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
He fledger. Was he in Breakers? No Home and Away? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (35:17):
Yeah, yeah for a second, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah he
was Home and Away.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (35:20):
But I Home and Away is very different to anything
that I've ever worked on, and everyone says that it's
really special.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
It's a really lovely place.

Speaker 14 (35:29):
It does feel like a family, and you don't know
that until you're there.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Well, I've also loved looking at your storyline. Is I
think you've been proposed to thirteen times? I really that
is fantastic. But your recent wedding, obviously, yeah, is to
your real life partner. And how does that feel on
a day like that? Is it just filming or does
it feel romantic?

Speaker 14 (35:53):
Well, we went together then, but you can't help obviously.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
It's a bit of a sparky spark no.

Speaker 14 (35:59):
I mean, look, Games and I have known each other
for like nearly thirty years, so we've always gotten on
really well and we've always worked really well together. But yeah,
I mean, it was just such a nice thing to
do and I guess it is a you know, whenever
you're filming weddings, you know it is a beautiful, lovely
thing to do, but it.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Feels like that. It's not broken up into components, so
you don't get a sense of it. No, it does
feel like that.

Speaker 14 (36:22):
And also because we were all the way and we're
in this beautiful location and you were in this amazing dress.
But look by the third day, you're feeling pretty crap
because it's really hot, there's flies, there's.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
You know, it was a real bride.

Speaker 14 (36:35):
Yeah, you know, but it's yeah, well it's not because
it goes on for three days.

Speaker 13 (36:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, so it is a bit different like an Indian wedding,
Like an Indian wedding. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
You've had your share of accidents, plane crashes. You've had
a bunch of plane crashes, two plane crashes and one
car crash.

Speaker 14 (36:52):
I reckon, it's more than one I've had. I've been
in when you were in Pale, I've been in Paled.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Were you impaled on? This wasn't a wedding thing. No,
Actually we were going to a wedding.

Speaker 14 (37:02):
We were going to a fence, but it missed all
the vital Organs, right, So I was very lucky.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Do you remember all the storylines or do you have
bits with someone says, remember when this happen?

Speaker 14 (37:15):
You have no idea, no idea, even the fact that
you've said there's been two plane crashes.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I remember one thing. It's because we've.

Speaker 14 (37:23):
Worked so fast, you forget a lot of things, like
when we have to do interviews for storyline based stuff,
and because it were six months ahead, I have to
look at the storyline again to remember, because I forget,
and I think it's just my age.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I don't know. The long the older you get, you
just forget. Jones. It will say, do you remember when
we spoke to so and so? It might have been
you know Muhammad Ali. I said, I have no meant
I'm exactly like that. Yeah, I don't mean you're wedding
to Dan though. That was the big one. Well Dan,
what happened to Dan? He left?

Speaker 14 (37:55):
No, it was Vini was the first that was pretty big,
and that was also Greek, a Greek sort of slash
Scottish wedding.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Then there was genre.

Speaker 14 (38:03):
Yeah, there was Dan and he had an ab sailing accident,
that's right. Then there was Zach and and then and
now justin yes, there's only been four weddings.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Guys, I's not you know it is with Taylor proposals
is intriguing.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
And what do you see like now that Lynn mcgrange
is going to be leaving, Irene's leaving the show? Yeah,
are you going to be a part of this? Will
there be some sort of like accident involved. I'm just
putting this out there. Is Lynn going to go, Irene
going to go on a grizzly ending?

Speaker 14 (38:36):
Well, I can't say what happens. You know, she may die,
she may not die. I can't really say. But I
am part of the storyline. And it's actually a really
beautiful storyline and it's they've written really well, and it's
been going for a while and I think the audiences
are going to love it.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
There'll be a lot of tears, but everyone's going to
love it. Plane crash, who knows, impaled? Maybe maybe piled
on a plane.

Speaker 14 (39:04):
But it is her last her last week, her last
days Wednesday, and I've got the last scene with her.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
You pull your eyes out when you were filming it.

Speaker 14 (39:12):
I have been well, we haven't shot the last scene
that we're shooting together, but you're filming Wednesday. Yeah, we're
filming it Wednesday. But I've been crying for about two months. Lynn,
on the other hand, is fine. I keep doing this
like sentimental stuff, like so, Lynn, do you realize that
this is your last location day?

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Lynn? Do you realize that this is your.

Speaker 14 (39:29):
Last coffee that you're going to have at Palm Beach?

and your answering your mouth ready. I'll let it go
at that. So Kyle, if you're not sure, say passed,
because we might have time to come back. All right,
good luck, here we go. He comes. Question number one

It is true and they're all delicious. Oh I'm so sorry, Kylie,

(41:22):
Thank you for playing girls. Thanks well. Look coming up next, George.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Kylie's multitasking there while she's doing the show. What do
you think she's doing? She's having chats to people doing
other things.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
That's probably her brains. Trust good podcast. Remember we once
interviewed George Foreman, and I know Andrew Denton interviewed him too,
and he said they're not easy guests those. I think
he might have interviewed him because George had been to
the professional speaking training place where he just talked in

(41:58):
inspirational tropes. Yep. So you can't get to the meat
of actually who he was and what he felt and
what his vulnerabilities were overcome everything. So I like doing
to John Cena. It's the same kind of.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Thing, unless that meats on an angle and the juice
and fattest running out of it.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Well, this is the thing. He of course, was the
heavyweight world champion, forget that. Not long after he'd won that,
at the age of forty five, he went on to
sprook his healthy lifestyle and his healthy lifestyle eating habits,
which involved him designing his own grill. Yeah. The trick
of it was it was on an angle, so the

(42:34):
grease just rolled off.

Speaker 17 (42:36):
I am George Foreman, and this is my lean, mean,
fat reducing grilla machine. It grills delicious food in a
healthy way fast.

Speaker 18 (42:43):
The George Foreman grill cooks from both sides at once,
cutting most cooking times in half. It's also healthier cooking
because the slanted grill channels fat and grease away from food.
See it outside moist inside. It's perfect for cooking steak, fish, burgers,
and vegetables.

Speaker 17 (42:58):
The great features of my grill make meal towns faster
and easier.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
In your hole and call me Saka. I bought not one,
but two. Why'd you have two? By the first one?

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Because the first one used to get as hot as
the surface of the side.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I don't think it had a gauge on it on
the outside, so you switched it on and it was
like a cook on the outside of it. It was
like a toasted sandwich machine.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
And there was no button to switch it on or
off either so they can get to the surface of
the sun dry or you meat out and you'd be
left with the fat tray. But then they made the
second one, and the second one I believe had an
on off switch, but still nothing to stop the thing
from falling on your hand when you're pulling the food out.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
No, that's it's like a degree burns separately.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
But I just loved it. And then one day because
it almost became like a coult. And then one day
my daughter just said that just this thing's terrible to
try and all the food out, and then I made
a gravy out of all.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
The agree so you were just re eating it anyway,
That's exactly My parents had one of those. It was
almost like a toaster for meat on the vertical ground. Yeah,
that was the big thing. And that era is drain
all the fat out of it. And now when you
I think it's because of Master Chef and all the
cooking shows, even people at home are adding butter and

(44:17):
scooping the fat all over the meat when you cook it.
So now apparently that's good. Well, I taste better flavors
a thing, So yes, George Foreman passed away. I have
had it on good authorities being buried on an angle.
I've amused myself. And there's no on off switch. So

(44:40):
remember all those crazy kind of kitcheny gadgets of clients
has the knitting machine? I never had one, but the
ads were fascinating. Saturday morning television was filled with those
ads of people just sitting in front of the television
going back and forth with a zip zap that was
a knitting machine. I'll see your knittings, and what's happened
to them, knitting stage, knitting machine, knitting machine.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
I'll raise it with the robin Hood ironing station that's
at our house right now.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
The robin Hood ironing station. Do you own your tights?
What's it got to the robin Hood.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
It's got so the ironing board comes out and it's
got like a light.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
It's got a timer, so it's like a teas mate,
so you're not ironing for too long a time to
have a light down at a bex And it was
of the era. I like those things. My wife. It
came with the house and I said, we can't get
rid of it. Rid of that now. It's fantastic. No,
And did the fifties housewife come with it too? Helen
loves it? I said it. I said, no more than

(45:36):
twenty minutes, because the time has sixty. I said, just
said it a twenty Yeah, that's all you need to remember.
The tea's made, so we never had one of those,
but I love the idea. It's very English. We'd wake
up in the morning next to a big boiling pot
of hot water and you could make a tea and
then have it in bed. Kate our record selecta well,
don't mention too many, because that's what the tribal drum

(45:56):
is going to beat for right here, right now. Why
the hell do I buy that the Appliance edition everyone
should have, everyone should have one. What did you buy?
Because it was the thing you saw, You saw an ad.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
It's sad about George Foreman passing away. He's been part
of our lives for a long long time.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
And for a lot of people, they wouldn't know that
he was a world heavyweight champion of the world. They
rumble in the jungle and all of that. They probably
know him better as the designer of the vertical grill.

Speaker 17 (46:25):
I am George Foreman and this is my lean, mean
fat reducing grilla machine.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yeah, I love that thing. I didn't have just one.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
I had two, and they were the useless, most useless
grillas in the world.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
When you look at it, I like the idea that
you see because what it does is it drains the
fattish and then you just poured that back into make
a gravy. Yummy, because dry meat but a delicious gravy.
D I know, how can you cook a chicken in it?
Because it doesn't breast. No, I know that, but by
the time you cook the outside of the breast, by
the time you want the inside to be cooked, then
it's just drives all get out.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
I used to go to sleep at night and I'd
be worried I left it on in the night would.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Have melted the neighborhood. And it used to get hotter
than the surface of the sun.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
And then my wife, whenever we clean, she didn't like
stuff on the on the bench, so she'd get it
and put it in the cupboard and the thing would
be still.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Me no, So it led to many heart. You could
just cook on the outside of it. It was so hot
it was song cook an egg on the egge eyed
way cooking the meat. And that's why I bought the
next one. The next one had.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
A soft touch outside, and they even advertised and they said,
this one's a cool touch as opposed to the old one.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Why do you have that first time round? As long
as it's on angle. As long as it's on an angle,
it doesn't tribal drum is beating for it seemed like
a good idea at the time. The Appliance edition bring
your money with it. By now Vicki's with us. Vicky,
what did you have?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Good morning? Joins?

Speaker 6 (47:48):
Well, I had a portable suitcase like records and cassette player.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Oh yes, so it was a little suitcase. And so
where the cassette player? Guy can picture of the record player?

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Well, it was sort of too. It was flat and
it was in two halves. The top halves were two
speakers and they came off and you could separate them.
They had wires attached, and then the other side was
one whole side, and the record player was on the

(48:23):
left hand side, I think it was, and the cassette
player was on the right.

Speaker 16 (48:28):
We saw you.

Speaker 15 (48:29):
Dials and everything, and the chords tucked away in a
little pocket that had a pull off cover that you
put the stuff to a record in and then you
bought it out when you needed to plug it in
the music.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Where would you take this piki?

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Well, you could take it anyway. You could take it
to party.

Speaker 13 (48:53):
Plane.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
So where did you actually did you take it? Did
you a party? No? So I just said it home
and fully set up. Do you still have it? Be
with a lot of money, I'd buy it. I do.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
I can't throw it.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Out, give it to me. I'll take it, said, she
can't throw it. I'll give you, give it to me.
I've got to give it to me. I give you
Jones your man a showbag. No, no, you're not using
our things for you to barter trading post. Thank you, Vicky,
keep it tails, I'll keep this chat off here. Hello, Charlie,

(49:29):
what have you got?

Speaker 13 (49:31):
I've got a three knife stay sharp kid that you
used to stick to the wall and you'd peel it
off and you'd stick it to the wall and you'd
put your knife into the sharp and you pull it
out of the sharp and there are three knives. The
knives were missing, but the actual sharp of the state

(49:51):
on the wall for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Arthur with no knives in it. Knives and that horrible
noise that would make the noise that's good as it
goes into the scarab. I believe that's the technical term.
I love that. I love that it's still there. Charlie, Okay,
no answer from l He's scared you might want to

(50:14):
buy it from him.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
I've heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
I'm not sure. A couple of rings. Sure. George Foreman
was a heavyweight world champion and a revered boxer. But
he was also an inventor, a crazy inventor of the
George Foreman grill.

Speaker 17 (50:39):
I am George Foreman, and this is my lean meme
fat reducing grilla machine. It grills delicious food in a
healthy weight affairs.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Yeah, I love that thing. You'd grill on an angles
and it collect all the fat.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
He didn't expect it to be as good as what
it was he was getting. At first he got a
check for fifteen hundred dollars. Now that's good. Then there
was a check for fifteen thousand. Then he was getting
checks five million dollars a month.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Imagine that's thanks to you who bought two Brandon. I
loved it.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
I was straining because I thought, you know what, that's
a good idea. Men, like anything that looks like you
put something on an angle, we put something in a
different position.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, okay, it makes sense. It makes perfect sense.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
What it did do was get to the surface of
the sun and dry at all your meat.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Yeah, it was all that goodness would be drained into
the true This was the era where you had to
drain all the fat off your meat. My parents had
the it was like a toaster for meat. The vertical grill. Yeah,
and it had just all set fire in the bottom
of the grill, so the trium is beating for this.
It seemed like a good idea at the time of
the Appliance edition. Bring your money with you Michelle has

(51:41):
joined us. Hi, Michelle, what have you got?

Speaker 10 (51:44):
Hi?

Speaker 12 (51:44):
We had the Kirby vacuum cleaner that we bought from
the door to door salesman. It used to come around
and it sort of was upright, and it looked like
a robot a bit sort of at the time in
the mid eighties like Rosie from the jetson. Yes, And
it was guarantee that it would do everything you could
possibly need in the house of cost you like about

(52:05):
a thousand dollars back then, which was a lot. Wow,
And it was hilarious because it really was. It had
such hard suction you couldn't move it along the carpet.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Because it's just.

Speaker 8 (52:18):
Too much.

Speaker 12 (52:18):
Selection did the dust mites on your bed, so you
could take it off and do your bed, but it
was too heavy you couldn't do it. And then we
couldn't get rid of it because it costs us so much.
So it was just a big white elegant. It was.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
It was really different the door to door salesman. But
those were the days sales, Yes, but was thatly You
have the ads where he'd pick up a bowling ball
with it.

Speaker 12 (52:39):
Oh, I think we got some really nice wine glasses.
That was sort of what I probably wanted more than
the vacuum cleaner.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do they still do door to door sales?
I don't think so. That's an orcyclopedia that you bought. Well,
Jehovah's came around the other day. They were like in
the house. They were in the house. Well, I asked
him why, and I said, what happens now? I don't know.
We've never got this far before. All right, He went
back to the eighties to that joke. I love it.
Jade has joined us a lot. Actually it happened, but

(53:08):
I've said many times on a lighter check it did
not happen, because it must have happened to you ten
times in the last few years. I'm just an approachable guy. Jade, Hello, Jade,
what did you have?

Speaker 6 (53:24):
I had to laugh about how James he said, and
men love gadgets. My dad had sandy gadgets. I had
to pick one and it was a potato peeler. It
was like a bowl that you plugged the hose onto
the tap and inside the bowl was like sandpaper. So
you put the potatoes in and turn the tap on
and the potatoes would go round around and around, rent

(53:45):
and peel them, but they'd come out the size of almonds.
They were timed by the time they came out. There
was no potato lift, but Miaunie had one, so we
had to have one. They came from England and we
had to have it. An nightmare to clean because the
side was encrusted with potato drunk and dirt and everything.

(54:07):
But your potatoes were peeled. That was impressed.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Such a thing.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
When I worked in a kitchen, commercial kitchen peeling the potatoes,
they had an industrial one of those, and there was
one chef because of the wastage of the potato, because
of what Jay said, because if you left it in
there too, lad, you put a huge potato and came
out of the size.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Of a snowpee.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
So then you there were some chefs that insisted you
peeled potatoes by hand.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
We'll find somewhere to use the peelings. Nothing more than
peelings thanks, Jay, I mean what you're hastling me. My
material is ten times better than yours. It might actually happened,
it did not happen. And last year too when you
said it, Hello Graham, how are you good? You Graham?

(54:52):
Before we go any further, I guess what we said
earlier in the show that our first live caller on
the show and our last live coller on the show, well,
it needs to show pack you have got you have
got a family past of these to show you have
got jones and made a showbag and take us to
the dodge Ams. Oh, well, well done, you Graham, well done.

(55:16):
It'll be a good story, gra what.

Speaker 8 (55:17):
You got for us?

Speaker 12 (55:19):
Okay, So my mum had bought a years ago a
vibrating belt machine, an exercise and vibrating dominating yes, and
they just got relegated to a corner of the house
and I think it collected newspapers and then I think
after a while I end up in back of that
shed somewhere, and every time Mom would think.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
About, like oh I should go on a diet or
something that I don't think that you've got that exercise.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Machine in that Yeah, what was it actually supposed to do?
I've been in them and then what would make literally?
But is it? Is it supposed to trick your body
into thinking you're jogging?

Speaker 13 (55:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (55:56):
And I think she used to sit down on one
stage there.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
I think she is at once and watch down Richard Simmons.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Yeah, so she's watching someone exercise while she vibrating a
jiggly bits around.

Speaker 13 (56:10):
Time?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
What a time? Would you wear it? Predominantly? You put
it around your around your whips. Yeah, because that worth if.
I think if it worked, we'd still be doing it.
Didn't you have the ab size of pro or something.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
AB circle pro circle that was a one And funnily enough,
it was on an angle too, like the George Foreman brill.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
You fed and you go side to side? Did it work?
Why did anyone stick with these things? Yeah? I remember
the we the we fitness. We fit well, we fit
during COVID. No one got out the we fit. That's
how bad it was that we didn't even turn to it.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
My kids set it up and you know how you
make it the avatar and they may put mine.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
They made mine with a giant gut. That's unfair. Thank
you for all your cars. Dear Sham Notion podcast on
at one point seven. Hello, it's untied Amanda.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
It's Monday, the twenty fourth of March, at sixteen to nine.
Usually I say reading on this day, information is the
domain of lazy radio.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
And then you proceed to.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Do it for what if it comes to our own annals.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
This year is our twenty This year is our twentieth anniversary.
They said we'd never make it, sir.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
I remember I first approached you to come and work
for me, and you said, nah, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
And then they pushed a pile of cash towards you.
That is not how any of that happened. That is
so untrue. Oh, come on, you know.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
You said, oh, but the money's good, and you're crying
on the phone.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
I said. And then my husband, my stupid husband, And
you hear Harley the backgroinger. I can hear you. You
wound him. I to go and talk to you, said, listen, listen,
sweet peat, let's get your on over the wine. Let
me talk to your husband for a bit. And you said,
I'll only do it for two years. I did. I
had very young. I had a son who was three
and one. It was only just one, and.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
It was dire times with me back in those days.
In those days, they wanted to.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Get rid of me as soon as anything. It just
wasn't working.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
It wasn't working here, radio show wasn't working with the
bottom of the ratings.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
And you said, if you get a cape on a
Manda Keller you can come. You pressure me a pile
of money. That's not true. We will go number one
this time next year. If we don't, I will leave.
And you can see the back of you know what
you had said to me. You said, I promise it
will never be hard. And it hasn't made hard. It's
been a dream run. There's been some days I wonder anyway.
What we're doing we must made is a promise kept

(58:30):
you once set. Promise made is a promise to live it.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
What we're doing for our twentyth aniversary, we're putting together
it's a top secret thing towards the end of the year,
but we're putting together a book.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
It sounds that it's not so secretive. The details not
understand about top secret.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
But I'm just going through my diaries just to see
what we were doing.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
As let's give the background to the diary. You it's
like a beautiful mind. You write copious notes throughout the
diary of what's happening. You put news clippings in, you
put if we're featured in them, you put bits and pieces.
So what year have you got there?

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Well, this is March twenty ten, so fifteen years. Like
to me, twenty ten feels like last year.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
That was how many year? That's fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
I was just flicking through the book while Simple Minds
was playing, and what are the chances on.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
This day in March twenty ten?

Speaker 2 (59:16):
We were talking to Jim Kerr from Simple Minds back
then and we've formed a bit of a relationship with
very much. So like, look, there's a birthday card for
me from the team here, it's in the wrong place.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Was my birthday?

Speaker 10 (59:30):
Just so?

Speaker 1 (59:31):
We diarized April three? April three?

Yeah DP, all these people that don't no longer work here,
Happy birthday, Jay Boss love Elbow. She's over their own
triple M now you know we created her.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Also, what was happening that week?

Speaker 2 (59:49):
I was on Kerry Ane Kennley's show, and we've got
a question here, did doctor Harry Cooper swear on better
Homes and gardens.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
So we spoke about on our show. What would you
talk about it? On Rriyanne No spoke about this on
our show.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
I think there was some controversy that doctor Harry Cooper
had dropped the f BOM on Better Homes and Guns.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Maybe he's talking about a ferret. Maybe, I don't know.
I wish we could go back to the tapes. But
in those days, well, we wanted to get audio of that.
Now you can just put in you stick it in
the computer and YouTube find him swearing. Then you had
to get it, you know, it was almost impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
I had to get a video. I'd go to the
video store, get the video, bring it into work. You
would spend most of the morning watching the video trying
to find.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
The bit, and the rest of the morning's watching it. Anyway,
and that's what happened, and here we are. Here we are,
So we did occur on again. I can't say probably
next week. I can't say too much about top secret.
Well doctor Harry's swearing being it Yeah, jam Clnes for nothing. Anyway,

(01:01:01):
Let's get to our gulies. Twenty thousand dollars we have
for our favorite gooolie of the year. Indeed, what do
we have today?

Speaker 9 (01:01:08):
What gets my gulies is having to sit through commercials
of Married at First Sight, the commitment ceremony. Please please
Channel nine commit and not making me watch this I
poison ever again? Make that commitment for me? Channel nine,
please Married at first Sight? What trash?

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I poison ie poison? I've waned on Married at first Sight?
Usually around this time, you'll you'll come back, you get
to the end there. But like last night, out of
stat scrolling.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Well, I read about what happened and Ryan and Jackie.
Yeah the names. He wanted to leave and she wants
to stay, so do he's stuck there? Yeah, and she's
gone full crazy? What else?

Speaker 10 (01:01:49):
When you go to the grocery store and people decide
that they're going to have a conversation in the middle
of the aisle, and then they get an ode with
you because you've asked them three times, can you please
move or excuse me if you're gonna have a conversation,
go outside, or even move further along so that people
can actually move past.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Is it a nice though?

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
When you run into someone when you're shopping out there
in the wild. Remember I ran into you many years
ago in the David Jones food Court.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
There you were just strolling through being a human of
the goods. Yeah, and I was buying some goods. I say, hey,
look at you. It's like finding a long lost friend.

We're very sad to hear the passing of George Foreman.
Many people may remember him as a heavyweight boxer. A
lot of people know him as the inventor of the
vertical grille.

Speaker 17 (01:03:04):
I am Jeorge Foreman and this is my lean meme.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Fat reducing grilla machine. Apparently wasn't a vertical crew that
wasn't it. But it was on an anglengle. Yeah, that's
apparently how they buried him on an angle, so or
the fact and drip out. But the tribal drum was
beating for why the hell did I buy that? The
appliance edition? Bring your money with you, Charlie from Pickton.
It was a certain time where you'd have a wall
mounted can opener and also one of these.

Speaker 8 (01:03:32):
I've got a three knife stay sharp kid that you.

Speaker 13 (01:03:36):
Used to stick to the wall.

Speaker 8 (01:03:38):
And you'd peeled it off and you'd stick it to the.

Speaker 13 (01:03:41):
Wall and you'd put your knife into the sharpen.

Speaker 8 (01:03:44):
You pull it out of the sharp and there were
three knives.

Speaker 13 (01:03:47):
See the knives were missing, but the actual sharper the
state on the wall for twenty years after with.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
No knives in it knives just as interest you. And

the knife shop last forever?
