Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast. Nick Minaj
in a bit of trouble trying to leave Amsterdam allegedly
with drugs.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, they were saying on her private jet, and she
was going, I don't have them. She may not have
been carrying them on the private jet, to be fair,
someone else might have.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, she has quite a crew with her. Yeah, and
you could see how because in Amsterdam, you know, it's
a free for all everyone there, and you know how
you could go, oh, well, it's going to be fine here.
It'll be fine at the airport.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Because they have cafes and you can legally go in
and buy whatever you want. I did have to convince
my boys last year when they were in Amsterdam. My
youngest is like, Mum, these gummy bears are the best.
I'm going to bring you some home. I'm like, don't, please, don't.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You cannot bring them home.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know I don't want them anyway, But you know,
don't think that's a good idea, because it won't.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Be Yeah, so what happened to you overseas? But you
broke the rules? You and you kin and knew the
rules broken.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh yeah, look I did what my boys did last year.
I went and did a gap year after I finished
school to decide whether I wanted to go to university.
And this was a long time ago, but I went
into East Germany when the wall was still up and
so East and West were divided. And I have told
you previously that I got arrested in Moscow because my
passport photo didn't look like me, and I got detained, and.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That again, like your face just changed, my.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Face had changed. But it was also just happened to
be the day that the West German decided to fly
his light plane into Red Square, and he had an
American visa in his passport. I had an American visa
in my passport and those dates matched, right.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Who would have thought as if you'd both been at
the consulate on the same day.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So anyway, I had a stamp in the passport just
said that I've been detained in Russia. So Eastern Europe
and the Eastern Bloc at that time that was a
big deal. So in East Berlin you could go in
for a day. You get the train over and then
the train stops at the border. The guards come through
and they randomly strip search people because my passport was dodgy.
(02:01):
They striped, searched me. In my infinite wisdom, I had
decided to swap I don't know, some Australiana koalas like
little soft toys. In East Berlin wore an East German flag,
which I, in my infinite wisdom, wrapped around my body
under my clothes. It is not legal to take an
(02:25):
East German flag out.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Of East Germany strapped its drugs.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, because this family wanted to swap the Koala memorabilia
and they said, would you like this East German flag?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I said sure, so was it different? So is it not?
The three colors of.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That is different. At the time it had a insigneur
on it that made it was East German. So yeah,
like I think I possibly knew. Yeah, being held with
the potential gunpoint of people deciding that what they were
going to do with me, Thank goodness, it was the
last train of the evening because they thought that if
they detained me in East Germany, the paperwork would be
(03:05):
far worse than just letting this eighteen year old Australian
who's a numb skull back to West Germany where you
can you know what was insulting. I didn't even keep
the flag.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh you lost the flag. It's all gone. Yeah, Chris
at a wellingsome point.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Chrisod morning, go I how you're going.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Good mate? You broke the rules overseas.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, it was probably about ten or so years ago now,
But I was in Japan, and I don't know if
every US guys have been over Japan and played the
pachinko machines, like little tiny ball bearings and everything.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They're like Pokey's the.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Version of gambling. Yeah. Yeah, So when I left Japan,
I had like a nice handful of these little ball
bearing balls left over, and I just you know, grabbed them,
chucked in on my suitcase, didn't worry too much about them.
Got to Hong Kong, No dramas. Left Hong Kong. As
we're going through customs, I got pulled up by you know,
all these custom and officers and everything, and they're going off.
(04:03):
They took my wife and my daughter aside and put
us in a special room and they're trying to work
out what the hell was going on. Turns out I
had wrapped these little ball bearings in you know, like
a shopping bag or whatever, and compacted him into my
suitcase and they thought I had a bomb, like.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Those ball bears work out what it was.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
They didn't want to open my bags up and was
questioning me, and it was like, oh man, it was
like the longest morph like, you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Know, suspiciously, like a homemade bomb. And you were going, no,
it's balls, and they'd be going, why are you bringing
pachinko balls? Who needs them? They're worth nothing?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
They escape them.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh, they took them, and then in the end they
worked out what it was actually, you know, in my
bags and you know how it got there and all
that sort of stuff. To me, it was just, you know,
I didn't even think, you know, anything about it was
just a little tiny wall bearing. But to them it
was like, my shit, is there's that a bomb? You know, like.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Twenty dollars Zarappa's gift card for you Chris forgetting a
first first call on the show.
