Speaker 1 (00:20):
The Christian O'Connell Show, Gold one oh four point three.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Show one thousand, two hundred and ten.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Good morning, Jackie Boye, Good morning, Good morning, Patsy, Morning Patsy.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
How was your day yesterday?

Speaker 6 (00:32):
It was so funny we had Chris was sitting down
Audrey last night and said, what are we going to watch?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know, it's always a big debate what are we
going to watch?

Speaker 6 (00:40):
And something that's appropriate for her that's not you know,
the language is okay anyway.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
He's been too salty.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Christopher, Yeah, that's it, you know, the little language. It's
the language and.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Ord MM movies. Until I was fifteen, it was like legally, yeah,
she legally blinding.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
My god, he's only kid.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
That was actually stuck to that.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Me and my brother were once a friend's birthday party
and in the background, while all the kids are running
around having fun, Austin Powers was on TV. We both
sat in front of it because we're like, this is
the only m movie we're allowed to.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I bet it felt really don't tell don't tell mom
what we want if you want.

Speaker 6 (01:20):
So Chris said, you know what, let's I'm going to
show you a show that I was really into when
I was your age.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'm going to put on Beverly Hills nine O two one.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
I do the theme Trim Patsy.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Nana, Nana, Nanette.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
Bad.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 8 (01:38):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
I was in another room of the house and I
heard the theme and I thought, oh, it was like
quick fate.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I had to go out and watch it as well.
It was such a good show.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
It rang for years I did. I think it started
the early nineties and I think it almost made it
to the two thousands.

Speaker 9 (01:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Chris was going through the episode. He said, there's something
like nearly one hundred and fifty episodes like massive, so
we'll be watching it for months.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But it's a little bit sad because.

Speaker 6 (02:04):
You know, Shannon Doherty and Luke Pierry up with his
city Wheel, so it was a bit sad. But Chris
was telling Audrey there was lots of eye rolling going
on about how Luke and Brandon's sideburns made him get
sideburns at that age.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
As well, and.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
She goes, what are sideburns dead?

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Listen here, I'm going to make a pdiction.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Right, that's that's the last time your fanily will sit
down much or no Ordie will never come back to that.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Because what I've dried this with the kids before.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Where you go, I used to really love this back
in the nineties, and you play and you realize it's
there's no It's almost like they hadn't invented editing. Yes,
every scene is too long, and at the time we
didn't know because whatever it is, your level awareness and
consciousness is what you're fed. At the time was now
everything's edited, hyper cut and stuff like that for good reason.

(02:54):
But you watch those shows now and those kids are
raised on that hypercut editing, and they's they just and
they're right. They're like, this is so boring, and you
look at your watch, going bloody hell three minutes for
three minutes in I fout like ten nineties minutes.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
It's about to me was the pathetic sort of background music.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It was really bad.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Every scene has got real loud, sort of instrumental and
stuff like that dialogue that you can barely hear.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
It's a car crash of a show. Now it hasn't
aged very well.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'm surprised they haven't tried to reboot it because all
of those popular shows they've tried to do again.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, I think they're probably waiting another ten years.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I was done with the Office here and then there've
been an Australia one Yeah, Sydney nine two one oh.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
The Christian O Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Patsy talking about Beverly Hills nine O two one oh.
Just going down a wormhole now remembering watching it in
the UK. It was showing at about five o'clock every
Saturday evening.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
When was it showing here, Patsy.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Oh, I'm trying to think. I think it was more
like gosh, I could be wrong, or was it like
seven at night?

Speaker 10 (03:56):
Through the war?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Please don't be wrong with this? What do you for
about getting this stuff? It's got to be right. The
news can be loose. I'm talking about that before. There's
a hurricane somewhere in America somewhere.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
But this Beverly Hills nine two oh.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
I seem to recall it was like seven at night,
but I could be confusing it with Melroe's Place.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I can't remember.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Wow, Melrose Place was like the B side.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Those two are interchangeable.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
For Melroe's Place was kind of like the that the
B side of when it Melrose Place was dreamed of
being as popular as Beverly Hills nine O two one oh.
It was a sort of cover band. I always thought
of Beverly Hills nine two oh. Who did you have
a crush on, Patsy? I bet you fancied Steve Sanders.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
All the men were hot, all the men like a
sixteen year old girl.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
If I said I fancied all the women, I had
more of a crush And tracing Priestley, actually, I'll take anyone.
Was I was?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know, it was like, were you Brandon or yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
See I was a Brandon guy.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Priestley, Yeah, I was.

Speaker 9 (05:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
I was more sort of inclined to go brand And
Luke was a bit I don't know, kind of out there.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Wasn't he all these character names or actor names.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
At this day we're doing about Patsy's putting both words together.
Sometimes she's going acts of first day character surname. Maybe
there's a new quiz in the Actually I kind of
like that. Actually and the hybrid of them. Now, we
were just speculating about whether Australia did a spinoff or
their own version of Sydney or Australia nine O two
or oh.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
And producer Whitney you think you know it did happen.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
It wasn't an Australian version. It was just a generic
like an American reboot of it.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yes, in two thousand and eight they remade nine O
two one. Oh not the same characters, fresh new cast
of characters.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
No Tory Spelling and Jenniferggaff were in it.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Oh sorry, original characters.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
That's a good producer. That is more of that.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Please, I'll see you after the show with It's like
when Trump didn't like being fact checked the look over
his shoulder that Jack did to produce a Whitney.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Go on into Irish Beec Holy moonly, Christian, do I
want to win your ass tickets? I've been an Oasis
fan for as long as I can remember. The only
time I was booked to see them, I got sunstroke
in Ireland of all places, and couldn't go that.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
What are the odds? That's the most unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
How do you get sunstroke in Island? You need to
get about half a second of sunny year. That's on
a great year, Tammy Christian. I have to do keep listening.
We have more Oasis tickets to be one. Later on
this morning show, Patsy was worried about getting the time
slot wrong for when Beverly Hills nine two someone's messaging

(06:47):
Beverly Hills nine O two one oh in Australia was
always on Friday nights at seven thirty pm. Okay, now, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It was seven but I didn't know it.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Yeah, now we had all this kind of.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
And then Melrose Place eight thirty pm Fridays on Friday,
and there you didn't put your name on the text,
but thank you for this. They said it was considered
a bit too risque for the seven thirty slot, whereas
Beverly Hill's nine O two was a bit more sort
of family friendly, but Melrow's Place was a grubby, edgy one.
It's funny you remember those time spots of TV shows
growing up because you arranged your week around that thing.

(07:25):
So I remember that Dallas was eight o'clock on a
Wednesday night. La Law was nine pm on a Thursday night.
I can remember these significant TV times because they mattered
then and there was no record in them. It was
a nightmare to recorder show.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
We did our whole family dinner around TV, so like clockwork,
at six o'clock every night was the Simpsons and at
six thirty ft off the TV and go to the
dinner table.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah all right, jackie boy, you found something else about
Please get this family right or the chat Mordor will
be chipping in again.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
nWo on, Oh, didn't just reboot once? It rebooted twice,
so once in two thousand would you do that?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
That's like today FM breakfast enough with the reboots.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
And then in twenty nineteen they brought it back as BH.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
The problem wasn't the lettering and the wording and the coding.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Of all canceled after one season.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Wow Wow.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
The Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
My Afternoon Yesterday, two half hours of solid helping these
seventeen year old low its out with her revision. At
the moment, year twelve, so she's a couple of weeks
away from the first exams VC exams. So we're doing
flash cards and she's got this thing now on her
laptop where you press it one thing the card flips
from the question and get the answer. And even if

(08:44):
you don't know, it goes somewhere else and then you
come back to it. It's very, very high tech, fraught
with tension as the question master because she's like, what
does it say again? I said you you wrote these?

Speaker 5 (08:56):
She actually input that it's so nerve wracking.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
My wife actually is relief when I volunteered to go
and hop out with the flash cards in it, because
it's like a crazy scientist, you know.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
An idiot savant where they're just so up in their
own head.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
And then I'm there, going it's about sixty percent right,
We'll move on to the next one. You're like, this
won't help me get the APA.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Good mining, good mine, and good mining, good minan.

Speaker 11 (09:19):
Do you.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I think I'm back in with the flash cars today.
I think I'm actually going to secretly record it. This
tree needs to know one day. I want to play
to her just how fraught this was been the other
side of that laptop.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
It's terrifying.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
What kind of subjects are you doing?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
We're doing yesterday it was psychology, so it's a lot
of stuff that I don't really know a lot about it.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
But you're I feel like the sixty percent right there
is gray area in psychology, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's what I say that, But I also applied that
to sociology. You know, we're actually what these I'm guessing,
what the examiners and the markets look for is a
lack of grainness, absolute question, you know, really nailing down
in her final questions of your education system, really want
to nail this stuff down into woodly language.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
And it's kind of a bit like this, And I think.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
All right, the good morning minute, we say good morning,
treview as many as possible in one minute. A lot
of people now talking about exactly what time the old
TV shows used to be on from the seventies, eighties
and nineties, and when you were rearrange your evening or
afternoon around that certain time spot was the same time
every single week, Patsy, what time was countdown.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
On six o'clock on a Sunday night?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Correct you better? Sohny and ALTONA remembering countdown six pm

the old fids of that. Molly had so many Springsteen

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I reckon that was eight o'clock on a Tuesday night,
but I could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
A thirty every Tuesday night. Luke and Bondora, you went
too far off.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
We can almost turn this into a quiz. Good morning, Christian,

From one o'clock on a Saturday, you couldn't go to
the supermarket.

Speaker 2 (13:26):

There was always a mad rush in that last hour
because the shops would literally close and you couldn't get
anything all weekend then till Monday morning at like at eight.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
I would say, the most busy time in the supermarket
Sunday night.

the chuck and how in that kind of suitcase? And

Remember all the sitcoms like Growing Pains, Who's the Boss?

(15:52):
Family Ties, there was a whole run where there used
to be big shows. There was always one at seven
thirty and one at eight to our family. Nightly TV
time would be dinner at four pm. Wow big afternoon
four pm, but dinner Way your Farmers.

a guy bay Watch for Sunday seven thirty pm, Channel ten.
All right, Oasis tickets? Which language are they singing? Wonderwall
in end up on the side. Jack was just telling

(17:10):
me that sometimes people called up to simply tell us
they don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
I guess any language is I don't know a country
you never know, rather than I don't know who we
got here?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Lee is going to have a go at this. Good morning, Lee, Hi,
here you go, Christian, I'm good Lee? You big Oasis fan? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Lee, thank you very much for your guess.

Speaker 3 (17:50):

thought gonna be of that Oasis Jeremy.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Good morning, morning, morning team, Good morning. So big Oasis fan.

Speaker 12 (18:01):
Huge, huge Christian ever since I came.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Out and excited about them reunited and coming here next year.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (18:08):
I can't see how the brothers are going to get on,
But we'll see, won't we.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
I think there's so much money they will get on.
Get on stage anyway, separately.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
You don't have to talk to each other.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
No, I've seen them about eight times live. There was
no intersong banter between them, so just like the old days.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Jeremy, which language you think wonder Wolves being sung in Italian? No,
messing Italian?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
It is, Jeremy.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
You're off to see Oasis live.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Oh the tickets, Yes, before the tickets.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
I'm serious, Jim.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
That's all right, pleasure Now, how did you know it
was Italian? By the way, because there was no hesitation
so that you knew.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
A Spanish and Italian degree about thirty years ago.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Finally paid off, finally paid off.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
The long game.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
One day trust me, kids, this will pay off.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Is that day. Get the phone well, enjoy your waysis
next year. I'll see you there, Jeremy, Well done, perfect
more chances tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
The Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I did have something we're going to talk about here,
but I happened to just see a news story that
an ape has learned how to use chopsticks, and the
patronizing headline.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Was clever ape uses chopsticks.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Because we're in Australia, that's how they do the TV
news here in the morning. For people have a mental
age with three clever ape uses chopstick. They're only incredibly
advanced animals. But now wait, who's they can have some
chow maine using wait for it, chopsticks. But Jack was
just trying to tell me that actually it's very hard

(19:48):
for something like an ape.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yes, I think the stronger you get, like a very
strong in the primate.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
World, very strong in the primate world.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
As you get more strong, you lose dexterity.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
But what about heavyweight boxer, Yes, I think incredibly dexterous
to find each other using only their hands. No, that's deflectionulity.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
But you wouldn't have a heavyweight boxer doing surgery, say, because.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
That is very How do you know that there aren't
surgeons right now getting prepped who are, say, sixteen stone
and could easily double up as a heavyweight.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Because I think the more mustly you get, the less
dexterous you do get. An ape can't hold an egg
for that reason.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
Why have you sat on that information for six years
in this studio?

Speaker 3 (20:31):
We could have built a bigger, more successful career around
that kind of gold up there. Please tell me there's
more stuff where that came from. How do you even
know that?

Speaker 4 (20:38):
But I'm pretty sure that's true.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
An ape can't hold an egg because it's too strong,
and it doesn't it can't be delicate enough to hold
the egg without crushing it.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Think about when was the last time you saw an egg?
Make it up a nice omeli.

Speaker 13 (20:55):
You know what, there's actually not that much stuff on
the internet about whether or not apes can hold egg.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I don't have an EDGW keep.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Diving the other thing we need to then then try
and get some inquiry going here adjacent to what you're
talking about that you believe the more muscly you are,
the less kind of manual digital dexterity you have is
are there people who do fiddley jobs, say there's a
seamstress who is the equivalent size and weight effect everywhere boxers. No,
I'm just saying because there's something about muscular they're being

(21:24):
two bound by muscles.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I guess see. People who work in surgeries would know
if there are muscly surgeons or not, and I don't
think maybe on TV they are.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
In fact, I can just prove this right now.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I just realized, No, you're thinking of TV shows.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
No, I'm thinking of the my mother in law, the
surgeon who is a heart surgeon this country, one of
the best used to play rugby in Australia.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
I don't believe you, Bill. I'll find out his surname.
He did Jim and I said.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
He can't have the fine motors.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
He's one of the world's foremost pioneers of this kind
of heart surgery. He's been doing it for over thirties,
but in the nineties he was a prop I think
Bill Hamble Bill Campbell, that's doctor Bill Campbell. And I
had to go and see him a couple of weeks
ago with my wife to talk about other reasons why
I don't need to get into it.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
But he actually performed the surgery.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yes, he had those glasses that have those little sort
of eye things attached to front of them. And as
he sat down, I didn't know he was a rugby
legend then, right, but he was so big, six seven
he was. He came in. I've met surgeon before.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
They've got like very danger like penis fingers. Yes, this guy.
I even said to my wife after, was you ever
seen a surgeon of that big? Is he ripping open
their hearts?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Which is his hand? He doesn't, He doesn't use to selling.
Just punching your heart, smashing it then punching it back
into your chest.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
You would think he needs to be nimble to navigate
through a small little slat or get around the organ.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
So we were leaving and that I googled his name. He
should have used to play as a prop for Australian
very successful international rugby player.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Okay, staying correct, Yeah, okay.

Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
The closest We've got so far to speaking to someone
that works at the zoo is a lady that called
in that rio spoke to who doesn't work for the zoo,
but once went to one ive been choking pass. Did
you know grillas and big apes can leap around thirty

(23:17):
feet that's nine meters at one time.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
That is huge, that's huge.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
What could you leap two feet? No?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
No more than that. I could go three minutes.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
You could go thirty meters. No, I don't think you
do it.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
In the Olympics they jumped seven or eight meters. Yeah,
but they're trained like from a young a half of that.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
No, No, no, I think you'd be surprised.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Now you've got some eight facts you found for us.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Can you believe this? A gorilla's strength is estimated to
be ten times greater than their total body weight, meaning
a full grown silver back gorilla can carry one thousand,
eight hundred kilograms.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
But that's a ton.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
That's huge, huge a ton. It's like picking up a car.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, I mean I think an suv is like eight
hundred to one thousand kilos.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
That's a ton.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
How much suv way? Exactly sixteen hundred? So they could
they could pick up a full size suv?

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Oh my god? So wait they can pick up a car.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yes, then why are we using this more for like
game shows?

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Beat the ape?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
You know you could get like the well's eight strongest
people right to take on eight apes and who's stronger.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Well, the apes are gonna win obviously. Yeah, even eight
people versus one eight will be a challenge.

Christian humans have an opposable thumb, which means they can
pick up things using a pinser grip. If you look
at your hand, play some flat on the table, your
fingers points up, but your thumb points across your palm.
Monkeys and apes don't have this, hence they don't have
the dexterity and would break things like an egg. It's

(27:25):
nothing to do with their muscles. Try picking up a
piece of paper using any fingers. That's how an ape
feels easy. You're my god, he's smart than an ache.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Put down the posters alight.

Speaker 3 (27:45):

water and put it in the microwaves.

How can this be America? It's such an advance or
service culture. At least there is that right, just stick
in the microwave.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
The Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
An hour and a half ago, Jack randomly dropped a
fact that big apes and gorillas can't handle legs, completely
blindside of me, and I had to dedicate half an
hour to trying to unpick this fat like you would
if you had a breakfast show. And we didn't really
get any clear resolution with him. And we've been trying
various zoo contacts. We now have a man online, Ben

(45:31):
live from near your neck of the woods. Patsy were
abe zoo. Good morning, Ben, good morning.

Speaker 10 (45:36):
Here are you going?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Now? What do you normally look after at where a
be zoo?

Speaker 10 (45:40):
So my team looks after primarily primates and carnivores. So
I'm very fortunate enough to look after three beautiful silverback
male gorillas.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
Now, I've seen silver bags up close before. They are huge,
aren't they.

Speaker 10 (45:53):
They're just incredible, Like, yeah, it kind of takes your
breath away when you're face to face with a with
a silverback gorilla.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Yeah, and you're too much. We have to go in
near them.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
We go near them.

Speaker 10 (46:03):
We never go in the enclosure to their dens, but
we're face to face through some very thick metal. But
we do interact with them and train them and very
very close.

Speaker 11 (46:13):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Wow, okay, so what can you tell us them?

Speaker 3 (46:16):
So Jack on the show, Ben was saying how because
of the lack of an opposable or whatever reasons, they
got too much muscle and power in them that they
can't they would crush an egg. They would be able
to just handle an egg and pick it up.

Speaker 10 (46:27):
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to disagree with what version
they have opposable thumbs. It's something that tapes evolved to
have to be able to grasp branches and eat the
food that they eat.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Otherwise, how they swinging from the trees and that.

Speaker 10 (46:42):
Yeah, exactly, so they about the posable thumbs.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
I did say that they were too strong that they
couldn't pick up a delicate egg.

Speaker 5 (46:52):
Yes, so they can, Ben and Ben, have you seen
this with your own seen it?

Speaker 10 (46:59):
Okay, so we haven't given them a raw egg. Okay,
so I'm sort of I'm assuming that they can.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
But if you're give them a heart old egg, that's
a different thing. Yeah, you're less.

Speaker 10 (47:10):
Definitely. But the closest thing I can relate to that
is probably grapes. Right, So they absolutely love grapes. They're
like a little round.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
That's a good point.

Speaker 10 (47:20):
We give them grapes and they'll literally roll them around
in their fingers. They'll investigate them, they'll take little bites
from them, or they'll just stuff for like twenty in
their mouth at a time, depending which gorilla it is.
But you know, when we change it from a green
grape to a big red one, Let's say they get
a little bit suspicious and they're like, how have you
put some medication in that? So they'll literally investigate it.
They'll roll it around, they'll take a little nibble out
of it, make sure it doesn't explode with medication or whatever,

(47:42):
and then okay, it's safe.

Speaker 18 (47:43):
We want.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
With his magic grapes.

Speaker 10 (47:53):
Easy to lose their trust for the tiny little change.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Yeah, and what else. What other surprise in facts can
you tell us about the apes and the primates?

Speaker 10 (48:00):
I mean, you know, tool use is something that it's
pretty well known. Like these guys they can create tools
using their hands. So we give them a giant stick,
they'll whittle it down to a tiny little I think
you guys were talking about chopsticks or something else, you know,
totally easy for them to do. We actually give them
puzzles they sit on the outside that they can't actually
reach their food. And they'll actually fashion the tool, even

(48:21):
sometimes with a hook on the end to be able
to like put the sticks through machine.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
I'd be very careful, and I wonder if you won't
get in that they'd be wigging you down bench to
a tool.

Speaker 10 (48:31):
I tell you, every time I leave the exhibit, a
triple check that I haven't left my multi tool.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
They're stashing on one day. But they're going to make
the big breakouts.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
And Betty, is it true they're strong enough to pick
up a car? Is the other thing we learned?

Speaker 10 (48:44):
Oh that wouldn't surprise me at all. Like we've got
giant tractor tires that will have like seven or eight
people try and lift, or we'll just get their works
team to use a front end loader and they'll literally
just pick it up and roll it around. So we
can't even put that out there half the time. It
has to be secured. So just like anything you can
think of, probably more, it's just incredible watching them in action.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
Now tell me this. You know the puzzles you give them,
So what are you talking like a five hundred piece
one or once it gets over twenty pieces, I'm out. Yeah,
I just I've been struggling for a while.

Speaker 11 (49:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (49:18):
Look, if you want them to destroy it, totally, but
this is like like a wooden platform with some obstacles
in the way, and they've got to work things around
the obstacles. You get them.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Yeah, it's not the corners first, not the humans do.

Speaker 10 (49:33):
Yeah, they'll do paintings that look quite similar to be honest.
So you know, they're just incredible.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
You should do an exhibition. Yeah, you should do an
our exhibition, Glidda aren't.

Speaker 10 (49:43):
Yeah, we've got them hanging up around the zoo. Yeah,
all of our zoo keepers. I've got three or four
paintings in our house that are they're done by gorillas
and other animals.

Speaker 5 (49:50):
It's it's a great.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
Next Peace can we give that way on the show.
I'd love to give away some gorilla art.

Speaker 10 (49:55):
What a great price totally you guys want to come in,
We'll make one for you.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
