Speaker 2 (05:15):
Christian, we live for re views in Scotland and we
spilled their local drink of choice, Ironbrew, on a cream couch.

just shook his head and said, no, that's permanently staying.
No human is a match for iron Brews made of girders. Richard, Christian.
I love this one from Spencer. We're looking for your
furniture stories, Christian. When I was in high school, my
dad brought his first ever brand new couch.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This is a peak moment for any dad.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
The only rule was no eating or drinking on or
near it near it, so, of course when he was
out one night, I spilled orange juice all over it.
I rang my eighty year old nan at eleven pm
in a panic to ask how to clean the cushions
before he got back flip them.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
To this day, he has no idea what ever happened?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Love that?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Maybe tomorrow we should do stories about what don't your
parents still know?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
There must be so much stuff as the years go by.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You said in a minute, they didn't find out the time,
and now it's like two three decades, Like Spencer, I
don't know when this happened. I'm guessing quite a few
years ago. Dad Stall no idea. Yeah, tomorrow the show
what don't your parents still know?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Furniture Stories, thirteen fifty five twenty two What's yours?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Pets?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
I remember very very well my father was moving my
brother into UNI and he had a wardrobe. We'd bought
his second hand, old wooden wardrobe from about the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Way to time, all those.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Things used to wear and absolute old wardrobes. Now they're
all light, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
The IQ ones You.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Just flat packet now. Anyway, he had it strapped to
the top of his ute, oh my god, with ropes,
but not strapped well enough. Anyway, he went down these
big hill and he had to the car in front
of us. I can remember broke really hardly. So Dad
had to break and this thing flew like a tornado.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Rocket ski loo. It really was.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Luckily there was no one too close to us that.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Kind of killed someone because those are wardrobes were just
to hollowed out oak tree in the day.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Skid it onto the road and spun as it skidded
and just.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Probably didn't even break because those things were solid.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
It fell off and it was like the legs came
off and it was just hilarious. So there was no wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But then what's the next move there there's a wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
On the road passes like the Eco Terrace. If we
just drove by getting new one to leave.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That there.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Bass it's still there still this day.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's a local monument. Here is you've been there, Alex,
what's your furniture story?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Speaking of Dad's and furniture, we went to pick up
a beautiful big dining table from Mossman a few years ago.
Mossmann's a very nice part of Sydney on the Lower
north Shore. And as we were loaning up this beautiful, big,
sort of oak dining table, we start hearing this quiet
sobbing as we're loaning into the into the truck, and
(08:27):
it turns out it's the dad having a little cry
as we load up the table because he shared so
many family memories around that table. He had like four
and I'm like and his wife's consoling him as as
we're taking the table putting it into the back of
the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And we're like, oh, I didn't know what to do,
and he's like, no, no, no, it's it's it's time
we're downsizing. So did you take it back? No, we
thought about that because no, no, no, take it no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It's yours. I want you to have a meet at
that table. Now I could never you know, certain things
like just never use.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
But he loved the fact that we had three kids,
and he's like, now I want you to share memories
around this table.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Do you know we we still have our dining table
like that, and it's we still from when the girls
were like little kids when they're in booster chairs.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Are you you're downsizing? Actually, we need a new one.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Can't break me like your Springsteen passed away Frank as
they taken up into the trying not selling it to
some guy on news at one pm in the afternoon
taking my having one hundred dollars. All right, it's go Tore,
We go ahead, Ray, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Ray, Good morning everybody. My story is about my mother.
For years, she used to burn couches. She burned about
four four hobby cigarette. Yeah, fall asleep with a cigarette
and wake up, they'd be a burner with them.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
There used to be TV adverts to stop people dozing
off a counter cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, it was such a pobblem back in the eighties.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yeah, it never worked in here. I brought a real
nice thing. She won you ever burned this. I will
never buy you another thing, all right? So any out
He brother brings me one day and says, oh, I
got to tell you something, but I don't want you
to get angry. Your mother's Mum's burnt the couch.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
How many couches now, three?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Four, four or five? She burned over the time. And
he had he says, I've gone and pick it up
when you go home. Don't go crooked, Mum. She's a
bit upset and worried. So I walk in the house.
I go straight out to the backyard. Remember the old
cocky cages, and I had a tin tray at the
bottom where used to slide out to clean them. Oh yeah, yes,
Well we had one of them in the backyard. So
(10:39):
I walked up, grabbed that, took it up in the
lound room, place it in where a chair was supposed
to be. We ant got another old wooden shait it
was in the backyard, sat there on there and said, Mum,
that's where you sit now.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So hey pressed the fire proof couch.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
In laundry.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
In a cloud of smoke.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, honestly, how we got out the ages with our cancer,
I'll never know. My grandparents would smoke during the meal.
There'd be a cigarette on the side of the plate.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The other one was when she was driving her car,
she'd be smoking because belly, even a five minute car
trip down to the shops, she can't have a you
gotta have a dart then, and so as a treat
she would let me take it from my mouth flick
the ash out of the window and back into her mouth.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh, there used to be as trees in lifts one floor.
I'm gonna lie on planes.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
