Speaker 2 (00:27):
Before the show, I was threading through all the emails
have come in overnight and during the day yesterday, I
saw a lovely one from a doctor who read my book,
and he sent me a lovely email about my book
and my story of moving here and all that. And
then I noticed at the end I was doing this
lovely email and everything you had to say about it.
He signed off with a way too casual b W.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
I never I'm not familiar with b W.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I'm not either. I thought, any thing is it English reference? Be?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, yeah, you couldn't. You couldn't do the extra few letters,
b W. You talk to me about connection and then
bobs me up with the camera. I opened my eye
into a book, share my heart with you, and you
we get is a BW?
Speaker 1 (01:10):

Is that a thing? Now?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
B you can't even say he's a doctor as well.
We might have to go if he's got time to
write a big email then finish it off. Well only
it takes what another.

between now and A and the number is thirteen fifty
five twenty two. I was gifted an Oasis smug Monday.
It came all the way from London and I didn't
even have a twenty four hours. I broke it yesterday.
I will say this, this was a flimsy mug. I
brought in all that was left of it today, which
(01:57):
was the handle, and I placed it down here after
talking about it on the show, and literally placed it
onto an A four pad and it crumpled again like
a daddy long legs.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's almost like a prop mug.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well that's why I think I don't think this is
an official merch one. Josh, Yeah, all the way back
to business class and you get me a mug, probably
from a dodgy cells guy down an alleyway somewhere in
a backstreet of London. Oh no, I've got it's half
a hand all right now? My waitis mug anyway? The
phone in you only had it for a couple of hours.

a thousand pieces, as if it was some ancient min vas.

where people that picked up brand new cars and driven
it like not even a k and they've crashed it.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh that's my worst.

But also Dad, he got this pump fixed this this
water pump kind of crucial for a house on a farm.
And he got it fixed up, and I went to
town to pick it up, and I'm driving home.

of get a bit larry, you start to drive a
bit fast.

You know, went round a corner, fishied a bit, pump
flies off the back of the truck.

Welcome to the showmate.

Thank your morning. When I finished my apprenticeship as a
chef many years ago, my bosses a reward, gave me
a bottle of Graine Hermitage and proudest punch took it
home to my two flatmates, twisting and tails and said,
oh you told them what it was for, and so
on another happiest pigs in mud. And I put it
(07:29):
under my bed and came back. Came back the next
night after working, and I found the two of them
sitting at the kitchen table drinking it out of a
coffee cup.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Panholes. Crange is about sort of eight nine hundred dollars
a box. It was like the premiere wine in Australia.
It's wide you record is one of the best wines
in the world.

cups that and worse.

After abusing them left, right and center, twisting tails, Twisty
in tails, Yes, Twisty got up to make the magnanimous
gesture of washing it out and handing me the empty bottle, and.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
As he washed it, it slipped out of his hand
and smashed on the poor bottle.
Speaker 2 (08:43):

generous gift to you to then an act of almost
trees and from your friends.

week to give away on the show.
