FULL: Vicks On The Soles Of My Feet

The team unpacks the internet-breaking Beckham saga, asks “what are the odds?” with stories that genuinely defy logic, gives away big Australian Open prizes, and debates everything from silent trousers to shark-free swimming options.

goome on in Rio.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Any news story that has finally pushed Trump's plans to
invade well anywhere where he likes.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Whatever they've got?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Uh and uh he stole the idea from uspirits. By
the way, yes, I was starting to wax lyrical about
Trump invading wherever he wants and certain way lived from
the country that invaded colonialists.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I went, I forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, anyway, Yeah, the Beckham story bumped Trump off yesterday.
I was obviously reading it like we all were, like,
oh my, what's he done?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
On Instagram stories?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
By the way, I did, like how eight paragraphs torching
the family and then asking for privacy. Oh what if
you read this back, dude, you want privacy?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Don't put the post down. You know your mom and
dad now are going to be hauled over the colls.
You are as well. We just want privacy.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's literally like burning his mam and dad's house down
to the ground, literally on fire, and then yelling at
the neighbors to stop staring. I'll tell you what if
you're the makers of White Lotus. The new season is
just the whole Beckham family on the islands.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh please, no.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Other people needed. We all get popcorn. We just watched
that watch that entrom work their way through it.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
When it happened yesterday, when it dropped, the whole team gas.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Another way, we're talking about when it happened yesterday, We're
always going to be where we were.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
The wait. One of their kids has done what. It's
like their fall off of Purlin Wall. It's we've landed
on the moon. Brooklyn Beckham has torched Brand Beckham.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Everyone stopped gathered by the couch and Sarah, one of
the producers, read out every single word of it and
we all sat there with our like jaws hitting the floor.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's incredible, you know, And also I hope everybody is okay.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know. It's a lot and one thing I got
straight away is like, oh my god, families.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, same with like Harry and that you're just like
families are so complicated. They're really really complicated. And then
obviously with brand Beckham. You know, two of the biggest
brands of the nineties was Manchester United and obviously the
Spy Skills. Those two form a mega brand together and

(02:58):
they've managed it so well over the last well decades.
You know, David's done really well post playing, you know,
with Miami and obviously what he did he was instrumental
in winning the Olympics for London. Who's part of the bid.
He's just been nighteted, he said David. And then a Tuesday,
out of nowhere, with no warning, one of your kids

(03:20):
puts in an eight paragraph. I've read all the paragraphs
a couple of times. Eight paragraph. It's like Shakespearean play
or a great novel. In one social media post, click
send and the world goes. In fact, I got Google alerts.
I have certain words that flash up on news on

(03:40):
my phone. One of them is the word nuclear in
case there's a nuclear attack.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I just want to get their heads up. What are
you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I'll see disaster movies. I'll tell you what you do.
You pick up your little kids they're nineteen and twenty one.
Tub Oh are you a bit bigger now? And you
run for high grounds? Then I'll take I'll grab some
equipment from here so I can speak to the.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
World to see what else you've got, and be set
up my own radio station Armor good and FM.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
If you can hear, if you can hear my words?
My phone the alert came up and it went news alert,
so I picked my phone up. Brooklyn Brooklyn Beckham launches
nuclear attack.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
On mummy, on mom and dad.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
You can't have the phrase nuclear attack on mum and dad?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Get the high ground? Is that what's blowing them up?
Who gave him the codes?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
So a couple of things. Do we think he wrote that? Yes,
I reckon? His missus wrote it, do you reckon? I
don't know any man that would use the phrase our
special day. Men don't use words like that, No, they don't.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
No men ever used special.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
They might say our big day, right, I feel for
special day? And also the thing about the one thing
I did think on reading it the first time was
like I found Victoria Beckham the most relatable when he
when he said that she danced inappropriate his wedding. What
mum hasn't had a few too many Chardon's and done

(05:15):
an inappropriate dance at the wedding. Very true that in
my eyes, Oh wow, she is human, She's like any
other mum has had a few too many at the
wedding and gone and done some sexy dance.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I need to see that sexy dance that wasn't wirky.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
And also the word I don't think they read that
reddit back because some of the grammar's gone problems, like
whoever wrote that, whether it was Brooklyn or somebody else,
or is missus whatever, it's the phrase danced on.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Me, Yes, that on me, But that could be an
accurate phrase. Maybe she was literally dancing.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
You don't think it's a typo danced on me inappropriately.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
I think it's a very specific choice of words to
describe just how inappropriate the dance was.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Also the fact that his mum that she said to
Brooklyn he was evil for letting the Nanas sit on
the top table.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
All this, you know, this hum drum stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
These are arguments that would have happened all over the
world around Christmas organizations. Yes, nana's where they're sitting at weddings.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah yeah, And weddings are.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Just like just the fact that these nana's evil Nanas,
it's evil. Don't put those you haven't put those old
DearS on that top table.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It's Dave and Night. The optics, a lot of good
are gonna look great. And weddings are so contentious.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
No matter what family you're in, there's always drama at
the wedding, so it is very relatable.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
What do you think, Pats, I've just I've been just
mesmerized by it, to be honest. It's like getting the
popcorn out and just oh my god, he hasn't he
didn't he has. At first, when all these rumors swell,
I thought it was just a beat up, I thought, art,
there's nothing in it, because I've.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Been rumors about this rift and how he's ostracized from
the fan and they've cast him aside.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah yeah, And now it's like whoa, Okay, it's just
absolutely imploded.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
I'm watching what comes next?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
What do you think you come next? Well, I don't know, nuclear,
I don't know what's next.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
On that The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
How's the last week or till school holidays going with
your teenage daughter?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Audi?

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Pats don't even bring up the war.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Can I say I have made the biggest mistake that
I reckon eighty nine of Ossie Pearance have made, and
that is to leave the uniform buying until the last second,
because over a holiday they tend to that can be
a bit like the Incredible Hulk.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
And they have a growth spurt.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
So there's no I don't think your teenage daughter want
someone's saying that, I'll wait for it.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Chet's notes a national radio show.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
She's growth three.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Hang on a minute, I just on you.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm just on Instagram, went following Audie. She's just writing
a message right now. She's stepping away from brand pats.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
Give it to But they do they have a growth spurt.
You would know with your two daughters when they're at school.
They just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's like fresh air and other than feeding them the
next equally I water expense is they is that that
school uniform?

Speaker 7 (08:12):
And it was me and every other parent.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
In the show.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
So it's seasonal. They could have a certain thing for summer,
then winter it's something and just never and so I
don't know what who's making those school uniforms.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Hugo Boss.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Get cheaper material, ahtough, like a snake with skins.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
What's the cheapest stuff you can what's barely fabric?

Speaker 8 (08:32):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (08:33):
I got to the shop yesterday. You should have seen it.
It was just like a scene out of Armageddon. There
were parents that were stressed, there were kids that were moaning, sweating,
and just their faces were screwed up getting shoved into all.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
Sorts of starch.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Actually I wasn't there, but I've seen those scenes. Town
me with this right obviously, you know in terms of
how mom and dad split the division of labor now
and gender roles and all this. But be honest, what
was the overwhelmed percentage of Were there many dads there
or does it always fall to the mum?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
The school uniform?

Speaker 7 (09:02):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (09:03):
I did take note of that yesterday because I reckon
it was fifty to fifty. Oh yeah, and I thought,
on you there were a lot of dads as well
as mums.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
It was brilliant.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Anyway, we we're in a bit of strife because we
can't get a blazer. They're in production apparently, and you've
got to have a blazer or.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
You would have been in production. I mean, this is
this is your big time. If you make school bleachers.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
The nineteenth of January and suddenly plug in the sewing machine.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
If you have them ready.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
To go, it's like the production line.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Chanta doesn't and the ours they don't start making this
stuff on the twenty four.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
Remember, so we can't get a blazer. So she's got it.
I've had to get the old one out of moth balls.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
The puffs go up to her elbows almost.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
The start of the school year.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
I can't get.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
One like her size until like term two, so that
that was yesterday. And then the booklest the bookless don't
even get me started off new ones as well.

Speaker 7 (10:02):
Ah my goodness, you can't get secondhand.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
No, you don't see them in any shops.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
I had to have second hand books, not this generation
that had to have this special calculator.

Speaker 7 (10:13):
This year I nearly fell off.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
The chair, the older American Scientific.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
It's the Scientific. Yeah, three hundred dollars for.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
The Obviously I had two daughters, so I just thought
you could have a hand me down. It was like, no, no,
you've got to get the IT hundred and I think
you ain't going to do anything from the global stage
of mass You know, you've still got no idea about anything.
They're at university now clueless about it. One one goes somewhere,
now there's there was a hazard light, the oil light

(10:43):
on a car. She goes, is this bad news?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
When?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, like a week? What was it before Christmas? Oh
my god?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
All that calculator money and still asking a question.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
So yesterday would have been more expensive day than a
build up to Christmas?

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Was insane. It was absolutely insane. But I don't know
how parents do it. We've just got one. We just
got one child. I don't know how people are doing
it with two two and three three?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I god, yeah, no, wonder you've got two jobs.
He does this shift and he's on Channel seven during
the day. That's why he's got three kids. I said,
I'm working till a hundred. Everyone needs a side hustle.
Have you got kids?

Speaker 4 (11:27):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Now every single week on the show, we have Chemist's
Warehouse vouchers for you guys and when are you going
to Chemist's Warehouse? They do everything from vitamin's shampoos, my
personal favorites vix I two have.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Quite a hardcore vix addiction. The chest one, the thing
you want well, that's what you meant to do.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
But I use it daily on the when I get
up in the morning, I will put it on the
soles of my feet, put my socks on and come
to it.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
It just gives me a lovely glow. Who sorry, sorry,
I don't understand it.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Is it to refresh your feet or is it to
make no idea?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No idea.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
But when whenever I was sick, my nurse Mum would
always say, put vix and soles your feet.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
You feel better.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
And I don't know whether it's the smell of the menthold,
it always just helped I don't know ten or twenty percent.
And then at some point doing these hours, and if
you do regular early hours, you will try whatever you
can to give you an edge. At some point I
just started to reach for the vix. And that's every day,
five days a week. Don't use it weekends. Don't need that,

(12:32):
excell little kick. But trust me, when you've been doing
these hours for twenty eight years, whatever gets you up
and going is Vix on my feet. For me, I
get through about one a month of those sort of pots. Really,
they must think I'm a dealer or someone. I go
back in there and the guy is like.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
He's back in again. What's he doing?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Doesn't how many colds? Because the Abby Chess problem is
can a guy have shipments of the stuff? Now, this
show is brought to you a Kimi's warehouse. They keep
the lights on and we're very, very lucky to do that,
right And I noticed when I came back to it
and started the new National radio show on Monday, Wow,

(13:09):
we if only every home could have one of these.
I'm just going to walk to the back of the studio,
okay where there is at the.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Back of the studio. Now you can still hear me.
This is a cupboard. It is the Chemists warehouse cupboard.
I'm opening up the cupboard right now. By the way,
this Chemists warehouse cupboard has its own camera security camera. Right.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
The producers who should have cameras because producer Caten's on
air a lot, don't have a camera.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
The Chemists were. I mean, that's our powerful chemist's warehouse.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
By the way, you got that kind of mega money
to bankroll Australian commercial radio. If they're building me a cabinet,
damn sure that's got camera and I bet you it's
better than the one that's even filming me right now.
In fact, when we put this out on social media,
flip between my camera and.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Then the one over here. I bet I look amazing.
Do I look twenty two? It's no vix on my face.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now you can win a two hundred and fifty dollars
you could. In fact, this actually inside this chemist warehouse cupboard.
It's cramped. Did you put that stuff in there?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (14:12):
So I have to deal with all of the sales
stuff that we do on the show, and so I
get to pick everything that went in the cupboard, and
I just thought of stuff that we might need.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Seems to be because you've judged it by your lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
It seems me stuff. But people who have a lot
of hangovers during the work and week. Barocca, you know,
sparking a bit. I've only even taken that stuff with
a sticking. I've had sober Baroka to me, it's part
of the night out.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
It's a shot in the morning, I think. At the
hydro light.

Speaker 9 (14:42):
Yes, I've actually put Barocca, hydra light and liquid IV in.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Now you swear by this stuff telling everyone listen about
liquid IV.

Speaker 9 (14:53):
Yes, so it's it's kind of new, well, at least
it's new to me.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
But normally the IV is something that you're associated with
a hospital visit.

Speaker 9 (15:01):
A friend of mine started using it because she's a runner,
so she does triathlons and Liquid IV just is a
load more electrolytes, electrotes and all that into the body
really quickly. So you have one saschet in your drink
bottle and you're pretty good to go. Like it's pretty
like hydro light. It's like times ten, and so we
started using it for when we were training.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
But also it is.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
You're not traffic drinking drinking.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
Yeah, first leg, it's pretty much sharden the.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Whole right, bad leg combag.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
But the Liquid IV is bloody awesome and so we've
got a load of them just to help us out.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
And we can also give you some guys, all.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Right, if you want, we've got two hundred and fifty
chemist warehouse vounch it. You can build your own cabinet
like Mind the Cupboard.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
The Christian o'connal show podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Every single day I learn more and more about radio,
even after twenty eight years, I did not know. You
want calls, just say you've got some Liquid IV.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
To give away.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
We have a lot of listeners who are functioning alcoholics,
and he comes to the right show. By the way,
all right, let's play this game now, I think you're
likee this one.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
We call it lost in Translation.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
We take a well known movie from the last couple
of decades, and often when there's any big movie that's released,
it goes into local regional markets and I might be China,
it might be the different European countries, and it's translated
into their language. Sometimes it loses something in the translation.
If you ever put something into Google Translate, it loses

(16:37):
something in the translation. So we've turned that into a game.
I read out the local language translation. The team got
to guess what the movie is. So some examples annoying
Green Monster takes City hostage, was what the Spaniards knew
of Shrek staying in Spain while women can't decide which

(16:59):
guy she loves twenty seven dresses, yes, yeah, and I said.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well known movie. Oh that one.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Creepy who puts this together is Greek and she's only
in her thirties, but she has she has the pop
culture taste of an eighty two year old Greek Nona.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
She watches her shows in the afternoon. Tale of the
century last grant Gen target demo.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
He cleans up with those nonas and that isn't a headline. Okay,
all right, so highs Down team, are we ready to play?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
They did that thing arm in arm, Yes, but the
whole cast would do I still love that that back.

Speaker 1 (20:00):

did Matt Damon and Ben Afflet do that? In the rip?
At the end? People trapped in room talk until they escape.

Speaker 7 (20:11):

I had way two emails about that with the name
of that pan that lady mentioned a show today, the
ken holmst ken Home.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Sorr, where were you just getting?

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Section nine?

Speaker 9 (24:27):
The first row that we're looking for is row L,
and then the second row is Row S. So if
you are doing Row L, you have between the numbers
of one and sixteen to choose. If you are doing s,
you have between one and twenty one to choose.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
From a lot of numbers coming through the old radio waves.
Right now, look at the same size Rose.

Speaker 9 (24:49):
Yes, well we can't because the arena circular, so when
it gets to the circle bit the corner where it
curls around it, they don't have as many seats on
the bottom as they do on the top.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's the real problem with these stadiums.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
But we could just say, why can't they knock out
a few right angled ones?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Rio, I know, I know too many curved edges there are.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
Do you want me to repeat the place you're going
to need to?

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, because you just gave them too many bits of information.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Row Elle. One, listen, the microphone doesn't only work if
you yell into it.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
All right, you're not at the circus or something.

I feel like I'm a say, with the bearded lady,
wrestle with the snake who wants to fighter bear?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Roll up? Roll up right now?

Speaker 9 (25:33):
Row l sorry, rowe l and row s.

Hello to Vincent, this email me this one Christian. I
have a dushn named Harry. My parents and I were
working at a place where there was a kids named Harry.
One day there was a guy who is mowing the
lawn who was also called Harry. The bases are Harry loaded.

(44:20):
Harry loves people and he just wants to play with them.
What I didn't know was that the boy Harry is
scared of dogs. When my Harry saw Harry, he decided
to run towards him. The boy Harry then ran towards
Harry on the mower cushion. This was a case of
Harry chasing Harry Harry around.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
You got it, my friend, what are the odds? Believe it?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
I love that one. Vinnie, Thank you very much. Who
we got here? Michael, Welcome to the show, Michael, Michael.

Speaker 8 (44:58):
Here you going there we go.

Speaker 1 (45:00):

Speaker 8 (45:03):
This is a quick story about me taking a day
off from work. And I said, but really it wasn't.
I went to the beach with a friend, saw a hitchhiker,
went past him, got the gelts went back and picked
him up, got into conversation that turned out that he
was my boss's son. Come and eat as much as

(45:25):
you want. So now I am looking at a photo
of my boss eating his food, drinking his beer. Went
back to work the next day. I hope you were sick,
I said, oh, yeah, he goes all right, I let
it go this time. Hair, is that one of the odds?

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Oh my god, that is that is calmer chucking and
sick and you get caught up by the boss's son.
What are the hots? But surely they even out you've
done a good deed.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Surely also you could have been going to the beach
to get some sea air, especially good for you.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
The positive irons exactly listening back to you, ready get
those these days the radio listening to himself back I
five in himself. All right there, Michael, we're needing to enjoy.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
His own story. You don't hear a lot of that
these days. It used to be all the time. You
used to have to always say on it. Of course,
because you just turn the radio down, please, Well we're talking.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Otherwise you get what's called a howl around that old thing.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
What a little bit of a very dull history. Lesson
there about radio for our young fans. Check out my

Speaker 15 (46:53):
Well, I was.

Speaker 14 (46:55):
Our single at the time and a work colleague, and
then Valentine's Day to another colleague about the same age,
We're very single to go to this Valentine's dinner. So
we've we've roped up to this restaurant together. I'm all
my best behavior and everything. And then during the first
part of the meal Map two, a messy, big bunch
of flowers arrived and the waitress has set again, mister Kennedy,

(47:19):
this is your flowers for your table, and I'm thinking, oh,
this poor girl, so embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
I was.

Speaker 14 (47:25):
I couln't even afford them. And then too so they're
having the course of this meal anyway throughout the meal,
like another course is being dished done. The waitress came
across and said, look, sorry, we've got another Kennedy here
at the restaurants.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
To night.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Oh my words and flowers.

Speaker 10 (47:49):

more next.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
I want to try and move my mind on for
the whole Beckham fallout. How do you think they found out?
I think Victoria was just scrolling reels.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
And David other on Instagram? What do you know?

Speaker 2 (48:22):
What what's said about this is how families fall out
now is on social media?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
No, they do.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I can't go into details, but that was my wife
started the family. It quite a big fallout involving someone
not liking a Facebook post and you know it's about
something else, it's not about the post, and then that's
the straw.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
But that's what just was the thing and now family
members blocking each other.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
I'm sure we don't it all go into details, but
I bet all of us can put our hands up
and know of this.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
It's crazy, isn't it happens social media?

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Do you met my member when Twitter was first, or
x now whatever it is was launched. It was builders
bringing the world together. I don't know if you've been
on there recently. I'm not seeing a lot of togetherness.
It's maybe what it's yelling at each other over like
a kind of like garden bench. You think that I
hate you, you think that I hate you.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
Very rarely have people on Twitter come together and reached
an agreed conclusion.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
Yes, all right, we're doing. What are the odds?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Santo's got a great one here, your stories of coincidence
and chants every Wednesday at a Christian My auntie and
uncle before they met, they both came over on the
same boats Australia from.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Italy when they were kids.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
My auntie was only a baby and my uncle was
only a tiny bit older. He ended up helping my
grandparents with their kids while they were on the boat.
Years later they met again as teenagers they got married.
The rest is history, that's a movie, that's a life.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Oh Ill Restor Estorio Italian. The rest is history.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Christian?

Speaker 1 (51:36):
All right, take me morning, Mark? Goodaw are I Mark
was sat down.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
I just sat back down and both hands on the
steering wheel of the show.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Mark, God's your story for us.

Speaker 16 (51:46):
So look, when I was a lot younger, there were
four of us driving into Country Victoria. I had the
windows down, it was a hot day. I was in
the back behind the driver, and the guy in the
front seat was smoking cigarette. So he picked the cigarette
out of the window and I went out the window,
straight back in the back window, and the guy next
to me was just scratching his face and the cigarette
butt landed directly in between his fingers, and I just

(52:09):
remember him holding it out and looking at it and
then looking at me with starting to look on his face.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
I mean, that's like a holy one. That's unbelievable.

Speaker 16 (52:19):
You could do that a million times if if you're tried,
and you'd never get it right, Oh my god, and.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
You're not having us on mine. That really happened. You
saw it.

Speaker 16 (52:28):
I was sitting right there and I swear that we
were laughing so hard. The guy who was driving the
car like we had to pull over.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah, yeah, you would do you were.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I'm imagining it right now as everyone else doing that.
The chances of it happening physics to the air a
cigarette and then landing between his two fingers.

Speaker 16 (52:45):
But but first as well, like he was smoking first,
he held it out like he was about to take a.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Drag, even if he didn't smoke. You just take a
drag on that, were you? Non sense? Like it's just
what they do.

Speaker 16 (52:56):
That would have been the right thing to do.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
It's like a scene our of Ocean's eleven, you know,
between Brad and George.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Yeah, we do this all the time, all the time.

Speaker 16 (53:04):
What we do this is how we pass a cigarette
around the car.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Yep, it's incredible. I love that story. Mark, Thank you
so much for sharing that with us. All Right, have
a good day, great story now, producers, Kane is just
reminding me of the boris and the teeth.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Before we bow out. We need to replay this.

Speaker 10 (53:23):
I was following a made of mind on a noable
head of perth, and I was about to overtake him.
He got into a coughing fit and he spent his
top teeth out and I hadn't heard my hand out
the window, and I'm sure you've walked down it, you know,
you play with the wind, and his teeth landed in
the palm of me. A.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Boris couldn't go without replaying that.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
It's an amazing story. Was a simpler time, Christian, it
would have been. It was a hot day. My mate
fixed his cigarette out the window, by the way, are
my word? Yesterday we were doing a phone and about
what was the first thing you saved up for with
your own money. I had to really have quite a
strong debate with one of the Chuckles sisters who wanted
to put through first caller who was really excited to
