Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now I know this time of the show. God, Mom, Dad,
all on the school Runner. Now you got the kids
in the car and these words are for you kids
in the car right now, because the future of Australia
needs you, and specifically we need the next generation of builders, engineers, makers, doers, manifestors,

(00:50):
table makers, balustrade benders, carpenters. Thanks Abu, I'm struggling a
bit here. Who am I talking to? I tell who
I'm talking to? TETs, tiny Trade's this Friday. I'm just
going to share my dream right now. I have a
dream this Friday. There are children in the studio and
they've got hammers, they've got nails, they've got screwdrivers, crosshead Phillips,

(01:12):
they've got an impact driver twelve. Well, I can bring
mine in circular saw all that's a band sauce and
they are taking each other on in a flat pack challenge.
I love it tiny trads.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And they build it trad yesday.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
So if you're a kid, and you love how being
mumma dad around the house doing DIY. Finally there's a
radio game for you. They're like, he gets at this
guy after almost seven years on the radio, yap and
his trappy finally gets it. What about us young trades
on our way to school right now? Tall belt round
their little garment here? So where do we stand on?

(01:55):
Obviously there are probably some equipment safety wides. I know
what this nanny state's like. You know, won't this's gone mad?
You can't have a kid using a band saurce won'ts
go mad crazy? So no power tools are allowed for
the children trying out out and they're meant to learn
anything these days. Let a kid graze their knee with
a band saw. The majority of flat packs are done
with the screwdriver. You're right, you're right, you get that

(02:16):
adding key and the dreaded hex key. Yes, yes, so
they're absolutely happy for them to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Depending age, we will have to look into that once
they start entering.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
But if you're.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Into it, and I'm thinking they've got to be under sixteen, yeah,
otherwise we.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Kind of like a seventeen year old going up again, apprentice.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yes, yeah, you know he'll actually be a trade at seventeen,
We need like thirteen twelve year old's fourteen year olds.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, that's kind of where we're looking back. If you're
a bit younger, but you've been doing it for years,
you've been out.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
In the bank, you're young going to be doing it
for a nine year old has been doing it nine
years having in this game came out the womb with
a Phillips crosshead thy by. You never know, do you
think we're going to get any kids doing this? Absolutely?
So far, no one's called in. All right, the lines
are open now for tiny trades. Okay, thirteen fifty five,

(03:06):
twenty two now participating. Tell me we're a cord show.
I said, by the way, you know, what do we
think of a price here? And she said a thousand dollars.
You can't giving a kid a thousand bucks they're walking
out when they're going down the milk bar and buy
the milk bar one thousand bucks.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It's actually irresponsible.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It is no, no, no, no, no, no no. The
parents will have like nine hundred and fifty of that.
You can't a vendor all weekend if we're getting them
to come in on a Friday, morning. They want to
have something to come and get the like to start
a school and stuff. People come in. Oh, they're going
to be upset about skipping the start school on a
Friday unless we give them one thousand dollars. I don't

(03:45):
negotiate with terrorist slash kids. Woken, it's gone mad. They're
calling in. Now you will win the winning kid and
listen if see the boss is giving us a thousand dollars,
Let's say we keep nine hundred for big lunch or
something kids to be happy with, like ten twenty bucks. Now, no,
no win it gets twenty bucks. Runner up gets fifteen,

(04:07):
and then there were nose. Of course it's kids. Whoever's third?
They get ten bucks? Great, yeah, that's a great pocket.
The next nine fifty okay, I'm happy you would be.

the weekend. Gnarly old man hands, yea proper hand. Yes,

to be on Tiny tradees this Friday. Does it matter
that I'm not an expot on building? I think it

(06:10):
would matter more if you were an expot on building,
Like how have you mastered the other building at the
age of fourteen? Although the house I live in is
very drafty, and do believe some of the homes here
and those won key tables maybe the kids have been
making them.
