Book of records. We've never seen anything like it. Our
marriage it's a it's a sacred institution.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well sometimes it's some sacred again and again and again.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How many times can it be sacred?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The Book of records is open, and today we are
looking for who has had the most marriages slash divorce?
Ponder this. People's minds always seemed to go to Elizabeth Taylor,
the great actress, Elizabeth Taylor. She had seven husbands and
eight marriages. Hmmm, that ma's not math. But of course
(00:49):
one of them married Richard Burton twice. She kicked it
off with Conrad Hilton Junior, one of America's richest men
at that time, and she wrapped it up with a
construction worker she met in rehab, so she named Larry.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So she wasn't in it for the money.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Then no, and then according to Liz, that was it.
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Can you blame her? Can you blame her unless she
tried several times?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This is a doubly way book, of course, So we
are looking for the most marriages slash handel divorces in
in doubly away. Thank you to all the people who
said Bridge and Brook on the Bold and the Beautiful. Yes,
they've been married nine times and then she married his dad.
But yes, it's a TV show, so twenty one times
all up, twenty one time Brook, Brook, Logan, Forest, Yeah,
(01:36):
imagine how any name she does have Boy, Logan, Forester, Psmith, Jones,
and on Thorn. I don't know. I think she might
have married all the boys in the family, but that's
another that's a story for another day. Let's go to
daniel in caramer Hello, Danielle morning, Danielle morning.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Western Anissa, how are you guys today?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Good?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's not you, is it?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
No? No, definitely not who is it? It's with my mum? Okay,
how be married seven times?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh goodness me?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And she even went five to marry the same grad
guard twice. She always said she was competing with Liz Taylor. Yes,
and she I think she called it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, Well, it's not unusual when the numbers get up
there like that for one of them to be the
same guy, because clearly they're a little you know, undecided
what it is they want, and you know, so it's like,
oh no, maybe no, I should suck with you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Perhaps, Yeah, and I don't think it was that. I
think it was I don't know, but I must say
I lost count of all the different surnames, but I
just couldn't keep it. Really.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, So writing a letter, what was the longest marriage
she had?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Jeez, I would no. My my brother, my sister, and
myself are all from different dads, so I reckon it
would be one of them. She always did say that
my of her life. Yeah. Yeah, the one was one
with her boss, who was a very thought after bachelor,
and I think she just wanted to do prove a point.
(03:21):
So that marriage. I think that marriage was about six
months long.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So yeah, wow, okay, okay, Well what was Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Christmas was busy, very very busy, and everybody work to
a timetable.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's it. And she was I must say, very difficult ladies,
so I can kind of understand.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So it was it their fault, it was her fault?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I would say, definitely.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's it's not it's thank you Danny for sharing the story.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Thank you for fessing up, thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
In times. Wow, a difficult woman.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Just somewhat maybe somewhat somewhat difficult. Yeah, No, Christmas time
there would have been a there would have been a
roster so that none of them were there at the
same time. There was a spreadsheet scot Okay, there you go.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Seven is the number to beat. We've set the bar
quite high to begin with. Actually the record holder, Oh
what a surprise. It's an American Baptist minister. He got
married twenty nine times.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So he didn't take note of what he was telling
divorce telling. Yeah, when he was conducting marriage ceremoniesn't saying
till death do you part. He wasn't really paying attention
to that part.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He says till death do you part, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Whatever, or until you get a little bored of it.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Helen in Butler has been married three times and recently
found out she has a sister who's been married three
times and one who's been married five times.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
If you're adam all together, that puts on front. But no,
it's not not not quite, not quite enough there afraid, Helen.
I know, good effort though, Yeah, yeah, well it's a family.
I think, yes, there's something something going on there. There's
a theme, isn't there?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now, I'm reliably informed this could be the record. Ronda
in Dudley Park, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's not you, though, is it?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Tell us you're someone else?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
About your brother?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
My brother, he's married to his fourth wife at the moment,
and he's married his fourth wife about oh gosh, eight
or nine times.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I think, oh, hang on, is this cheating?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I mean the paperwork problems, that's that's just renewing.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Now, yeah, go out into punishment.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I think he just loves a good wedding.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Cake could or maybe it's his way of keeping this one.
If I keep marrying her, she's going to keep saying yes.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I don't know, I could just go out for
a nice dinner, couldn't they I don't have to have
another wedding.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Sounds like an addiction.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It does sound a bit like an addiction to Yeah,
so you've lost track eight or nine times?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Eight or nine times? Yeah, Like I said, yep, he's
been to c G because they go on cruises a lot.
They work, what is it work to live? Not live
to work? And they have a lot of holidays. Well
that's wise that the nation is another wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Maybe they just like being at the captain's table. And
what you know, if you're getting married, it's like please
the newly weds.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And of course you don't get invited to all the weddings,
do you rund that?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
No, not anymore, probably the first one because I didn't
go to the first one doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So you've never tasted? Does Rod to care to bar?
You never had to buy a gift?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well? No, no, presences are presents, I hope saying get
this stage, Ronda, Well yeah, I would say, there is
the record eight or nine times. We didn't specify that
it had to be to eight or nine different people.
