Speaker 2 (00:03):
If I was to say to you the phrase like
sands through the hour glass, what would you think?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Days of Our Days of Our Lives?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's so iconic. It's been on air for fifty four years,
but it was announced yesterday that it's going into indefinite hiatus.
That's not a new character follow I'm hiatus may as
well be. All the cast members have been released from
their contracts. Wow, so no one knows. Is this the
(00:34):
end of Days of Our Lives? Are they going to
do that cheap o thing where everyone's released from their
contracts and a few months time everyone's rehired at a
lesser rate.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Did you ever watch Days of Our Lives?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
It's funny you mentioned that I used to work for Mick.
We used to make these pumps in a building. You know,
you get the water pressure in the high rise building.
So we'd make the pumps. Who put them together, and
I'd spray paint them, and he'd have the TV. And
I remember being eighteen or nineteen sitting there watching Gays
about So in kind of a factory situation he'd had
(01:04):
that it was just the two of us in his
little factory and would shull be spray painting?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And he said, mate, just keep that down. I'm trying
to watch Days of Our Lives.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Amazing was some of the storylines. My favorite. I used
to go home from school at lunchtime to watch Days
of Our Lives. Remember what be saying to you? Do
you remember when Marlena had an exorcism, she became possessed
by the devil and had these crazy green eyes. She
remember that thing with Roman. Did he die or didn't
(01:33):
he die?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So said the guy that died, and he came back
as another guy.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, another guy came back and he'd been brainwashed to
think he was Roman, and Marlena his wife, it says,
fair enough, and starts having a relationship with him, and
then the real Roman comes back.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Hang on a minute, to Marlena, you accepted that pretty well.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Don't even look like me the swamp girl. Remember this
storyline where they find someone in a swamp. It turns
out she's the princess and have to get it back
on the throne. I mean, so many extraordinary stories for
Days of Our Lives. When I remember the people who
lived next door to my grandparents, So this is going
back thirty forty years. He vowed he'd never retire until
(02:10):
Days of Our Lives finished because he just couldn't handle
that it was on in the house. So he passed
away before Days of up, before he's able to retire.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's so catchy to watch it.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I just remember thinking, you know, at that age, you're
not interested in any sort of TV like that, and
I was watching it and you just suddenly.
Speaker 2 (02:27):

that's how I taught my friends how to slam a

It's right opposite quarters.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
That's how we did it. And not too hot coffee

Tim Son, Peters and Fulkin Bridge. Did you watch it, Pete?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
No, I didn't, but my mum was an avid watcher
to the point where Chrisha was working through the day.
She would actually recorded, like set the timer up to
record it when videos came out and all that. And
because come school holidays, we had a video count up
the road over the store. You get one tape, watch it,
take it back, get another one for free, and you
(05:57):
could do that for a year. So we'll be up
there race and to watch the videos. Because at one
point thirty, if you didn't have that video set.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
To record with our last all to pay And how
could your mom She actually worked out how to set
a video recorded to record.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
No one I knew could ever do that.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Oh yeah, she worked out because it was days of
our lives.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
If you have to, you do. It's extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Elizabeth Sanila one. Were you obsessed, Elizabeth?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Hi there. When I was nineteen, I got clangelo fever
and I got addicted to it. My mum put the
black and white TV in my bedroom and that was
the only thing on by About three four years later
I ended up getting married and my and then about
a year later, my husband was in between jobs and
he was renovating at this home we're living in. Anyway,
(06:50):
I put the I used to ask him, could you
please tape it for me during the day, and he'd
say yeah, yeah, and i'd lead to tape out anyway.
He did it a couple of times, but then he
used to come home. I'd come home and I'd say,
and it was an hour's drive to home, and I said,
could you with the tape? And he'd say, I didn't
do it, with a smirk on his face. But then
he'd spend twenty minutes telling me what happened. He'd sit
(07:14):
there and watch it and no, and then he thought
it was a great lark and he'd sit there and
tell me what happened. He do you want to know
what fell?
Speaker 7 (07:24):
And so did.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But then the final figure happened, which I've still got.
I came home one afternoon and he opens up this
piece of cardboard and he said, I've got something to
show you. And he'd sat down and drawn up a
map of all the characters who slept with who who
was the son and daughter. It was like a family tree,
(07:49):
except with activities involved. And he had all these names
like Victor kookyas Patch was one eyed peete. He just
this was the situation anyway, But we used to have
a There was the few altercations over just putting the
(08:10):
flipp and tape.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Don't watch it, don't tell me what happened, showed me.
Look at cardboard school project isn't quite the same.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's grants for divorces.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I'm a teacher, and I must admit there was this
one day a girl year twelve. You get to know
them a bit better, and she said she used to
watch it and I'll never forget. I said, I've got
something funny to show, and I brought it in and
then I had about half a dozen kids standing around.
They had all been watching Days of our Lives see
year twelve s and they are in a step. So
(08:43):
it was like this lesson on Days of our Lives
as well. But anyway, all thanks to my husband.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Anyway, that should be an HC subject.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Maybe Days of our Lives.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised in the day of these
pitdly subjects.
