Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Will M.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Woody podcast Hate Will wood He woulds and there's a
lot of fear about going over to the US at
the moment, particularly given that they're you know, you don't
need to be really all that far off the scale
to be getting pulled up, detained, sent back home. And
Alistair Kitchen, who is a thirty three year old writer
and photographer from Melbourne, was pulled from the line at customs,

(00:26):
taken to a back room, his phone was seized. He
was held at lax for twelve hours far and the
US border agent said that was because he'd written on
his personal blog covering the pro Palestinian rallies at Columbia
University last year. So this's just something he's written in
his blog about something that happened at UNI last year.
His belongings and passport handed over two quondas, not given

(00:46):
back to him until he landed back in Melbourne. Again.
You have a look at this guy. I certain wouldn't
pick him a line up, and not in a bad way. Alistair,
who joins us right now, I'm here, Matte.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's actually just on what we'll saying then, because you're
right for me. You just look like a normal guy, Alistair,
So how did they find you and when did they
pick you out of the queue and drag you into
a room?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Well, picked out of a lineup is the right idea.
Because I stepped off the plane and within a minute
many Australians will know that lion at Lax, where you
go to get your passport looked at. I didn't even
get into it. The voice came over the radio over
the intercom. They called me to the back. An officer
collected me and whisked me away into a back room
where this twelve hour detention and a series of interviews began.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
So when you are picked out like that, all your
name goes over the speaking it straight into a room.
What's going through your head at that point?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Alistair?

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Well, look, I knew that things were getting dodgy, to
say the least in the US, so I had prepared
in advance for some type of superficial search of my phone.
You know, I'd scrubbed my social media, taken down anything
critical of Donald Trump. That's not I prepared for the
wrong thing. And I want Australian to know that because
they had before I had taken all these things down,

(02:07):
already read them in the weeks coming up to my
flight to the US. So when I realized that, look, fear,
fear is the right word for it.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, for sure, man.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
So then what are the kinds of questions they're asking you?
So you just said, then you put in a room
for twelve hours. What questions are they asking you and
what are they doing to you for twelve hours?

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Well, I can tell you. As soon as they sat
me down and they'd got the prelude, the biographical questions
out of the way, as soon as they were ready
to interview me, the officer turned and said, look, mate,
we both know why you're here. Look, he didn't use
the word and mate. He said, look, we both know
why you're here. And I said, I don't know why
I'm here, and he said it's because of what you've

(02:47):
written about the protests of Columbia. And then for the
next thirty to forty minutes he grilled me about my
views on the Israel Gaza conflict.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, right, do you, Alice? Did? How did they know that?
It sounds like there's been some prep involved for them
to know that you've done this, Like are they scanning
passenger lists for planes that are inbound to source people
before they land.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, look, I'm not sure. I've got two ideas, and
both of them scamming. The first is an Australian should
be aware of this, that the technological sophistication of customs
and Border patrol seems to have got much better than
it used to be. It used to be pretty unsophisticated
and they'll just like scroll through your phone a little
bit if they felt like it. At this point, I'm
worrying that they are matching your s to application to

(03:40):
a search of your online presence.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah right, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
That's my first fear. My second fear. When we were
at Columbia, it was well reported that certain conservative political
groups were giving the names of students who they did
not like to the government, asking the government to follow
up with them. A little bit worried that I ended
up on one of those lists.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah right, oh my, yeah right, And then that flags
on the system when they say that you're flying in
and then they won't detain you for twelve hours and
flying your home. So when you're in there, mate, when
you say, like intimidation, what what level are we talking here? Like,
I'm kind of you know, I'm kind of envisioning a
bad nineties movie with a good cop bad cop routine

(04:23):
with the guys kind of like slamming on the table
his hands and threatening you with with you know, I
don't know, sending you back to your country, fine book.
I reckon that. Yeah. Yeah, but was there any liked
how hectic did it get? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Look, there are stories of that happening. There are stories
of yelling or swearing of threatening That didn't happen to me.
And guys, look, I'm going to be perfectly honest. I
didn't need that to already be scared.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, they were.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Perfectly scary enough to be in the back room in
a basically stateless position. You know where you are before
you've checked in your VS. You have less rights than
a criminal.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you nowhere I'd recognize when you
get getting shipped off to I was going to say,
you are people getting shopped off to El Salvador daily,
for that's right? For nothing?

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Really, And al am, I right in saying that they
took your phone off you and then demanded your passcode.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yes, you are right to say it. And let me
say to anyone listening when that happens to you or
if and when it happens to you, you will be
given a choice hand over your past code or immediately
get back, get back on the plane and sent back home.
That was the first question I was given, Do you
want your passcode or do you want to go back home?
And I was still hopeful at that point that I

(05:42):
would get into the US.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I was wrong to be hopeful, and I was wrong
to give them my passcode. If you're in that situation,
please get on the plane. I don't care if it's
another fifteen hours back in Melbourne, because they are never
going to let you in by the time they're ready
to search your phone.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's great advice.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Did you meet anyone else who was being detained alistair
with you at that time as well?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, well we were put into this detention holding pen.
The thing is we're not allowed to talk to each other.
I was the only man. The women were separated by
a wall. I could see them occasionally. There were five
of them, three women from Latin America, two women from China,
and when I stepped in the door, one of them
was distraught, asking the guard who was guarding us, for

(06:29):
any information at all, and he turned to her and
he says, I've got no information to give you. There's
none coming. You should not worry about it. That woman
over there has been here for four and a half days.
And when I heard that, guys, let me tell you,
my heart sank.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Whoh Man's that is really scary. He being fed and
like anything like that.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yes, I can tell you.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
There's cup noodles there, says cup noodles. So if you're
into that, you can eat as many as you want.
They're very proud.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
That they're giving it to your free I'm sure they are. Hey, Alice,
are you scared about talking like is it? Or have
you just kind of written off a trip to America
for the duration of the Trump administration.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I've certainly written off, but I'll tell you that I
am pretty terrified for two reasons. One the chance that
they implement a lifetime ban as a reprisal for me
talking to guys like you the second they plugged in
and downloaded the entire contents of my phone. And look,
as any guy or girl will know, there's always stuff
on your phone you don't like getting out there, and frankly,

(07:36):
I don't trust them to release that stuff. When I
get off the phone with you guys, I'm buying a
new plane because who knows what they've downloaded.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, that is totally wild, or like they could like
doctor images in your photo gallery to make it look
like nudes.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
And I'm not just saying that list in case they
ever get my find some nudes.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
On there is that is crazy. I don't think they're
doing that, but either way, don't release my nudes. Alistair,
that is really wild man. Firstly, really sorry that happened
to you. Yeah, that sucks, but thank you for joining us.
And yeah, a warning shot for everyone out there that

(08:19):
it's obviously I know we were seeing it on the
news and whatnot, but it's obviously a very different place
from from what it has been.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Different country to the one we were brought.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Up to believe in. Yeah, yeah, mate, thanks for joining
us here on William Woody. Good luck with the phone
buying mate. Yeah, wow, Alistair kitchen there, it's entertained an
lax shipped home for writing an article about Palestine years
ago on his personal blog wild stuff there. Make sure
you are dotting your eyes, crossing your t before you

(08:50):
go to the US these days, and you can't even
wipe your phone now like it's done. You're worried about
the neuds, mate, you know you are right now though,
the most unattractive thing a guy can do. You reckon? Yeah,
well not, I don't reckon this.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
This is a female friend of mine that I was
chatting to on the weekend, and I'm going to be honest.
It was a confronting chat. She revealed that she went
away for a couple of days away from her husband.
Her husband stayed home, and when she came back home,
she couldn't find her husband anywhere. Finally walked into the
area where he games. He's got a room where he

(09:22):
gains and he had made a purchase over the few
days that she was away and he got himself a
gaming headset.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
So she walked in. You know, days you haven't seen
your husband.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
She walks in and the sight she saw it was
her husband in boxer shorts, wearing the gaming headset. And
she said that he was standing up and he was
humping the remote saying, get some, Get some. She said
to me if we weren't married, she was like, I
would genuinely consider breaking up with Wow, it's the most

(09:53):
unattractive thing she has ever said in her life.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Apparently.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now I know a lot of the fellows. They do
like to game. He's controller humping and saying get some,
get some.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Obviously he h did something quite impressive in the game,
I imagine.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
But she said, the gaming thing's okay, but it's just
it's the head headset, headset. It's really talking intensely into that.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yes, yeah, I personally I can game a little bit,
but the headset I gave away mainly because.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I was bullied. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
Yeah, on the online games, I'm not very good.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm not very good at gaming for the teenagers, didn't you. Yeah, yeah,
the teenagers really went at me, and they know you're old.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I wasn't even talking and somehow they knew I was
in my thirties and they yeah, they told me to
go back to.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Campaign mode because I wasn't good enough to be online.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
It hurt my feeling.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where the old people go apparently. Anyway,
I'm interested. Thirteen one oh six five is our number.
That's a female who said to me that that is
the pinnacle of the most unattractive thing a man can do.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I'd love to hear from people out there as to
whether they think there is anything more unattractive that a
guy can do. Oh yeah, for mem at home, she
has revealed to me the most unattractive thing I can
do is when I'm walking around the house before a
bike ride. Oh, the licra it's well, it's that, but
it's the cycling shoe, the kit like the shoes, and

(11:15):
it's like, there's a way of walking when you're wearing
something and you've kind of got to you've kind of
got to walk.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
On your heels. The first thing I had in my
mind was men in liker and cafes. It's a bad look.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, it's And I wear a lot of fluoro as well,
because I'm like safe as sexy kind of vibes. Mims like,
that's just please, don't come in the house, wow, before
you go for a ride. If you need to go
in the toilet, go in the front yard.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Wow. That's a message, is that right?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It is repulsive when you see something,
when you see your partner doing something. It's that there
are a few things that are hard to come back from. Yeah,
and we'recycling not coming back from that sort of a setup.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Because I'll often say like, yeah, but have a look
at the quads, because I've been riding a lot now
and that doesn't.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That like like men with good legs is good for
other men. Yeah, you know, I don't think that's really
something that women are into.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's a man flex. It is the girls in the
airlock here. They've got some other examples. If you can
just move off my legs, Jay, what's the most unattractive
thing that a guy can do?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Do you? Reckon?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
When they use like the voice activated finder or like
search feature on a remote and they're like Tyler the
Creator and then they come back and talk to you
in like a normal.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
That's cringe. It's also very convenient, you know, save yourself
scrolling around on your TV. I think it's handy. It's
just practical.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's the voice they use though, like no one specific.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
You have to be slow and clear.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, I feel like that's very unattractive. What about a Howyk?
It's just a standard hoyke relatively unattractive, I think, as
in like pre spit hoyke. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty I
think that's pretty bad. You used to have a hock
tour bucket next to your bed when.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
You were sick earlier yes, and my wife would tell
me how unattractive.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Just a bucket full of your phlem Yeah, I do
a lot of unattractive. That's pretty rank. Yeah. Hey what
about this one's for me? Is men that practice their
golf or cricket swing in the air, oh so by
themselves while they're in a line, just in a voting line.
Captain poop Ban's frequently seen doing that in the air.
Loight just gets the old bat out. Oh yeah that way, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(13:24):
all right. I also had I feel like this is
mainly just a middle aged man thing, mostly in the workplace,
but calling younger women like sweetheart, oh honey, or yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gorgeous, really bad, oh gorgeous wow yeah yeah,
alright thirteen one oh sixty five.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, I don't know if I've got the strength for this.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
What's the most unattractive thing that a guy can do?
Maybe it's your husband.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Tucking their socks into their trackies. I don't like, I don't,
I don't. I'm just saying you're on the song. You know,
you just can't win as a heterosexual guy these days.
You just can't. We're a hunted breed and long lived.
The minisphere anyway, So I one of these ones that

(14:15):
I you know, I think this is I don't judge
these guys. I know it's unattractive because you know, it's
obviously they're often working people who have got kids and
it's half of them to get their exercise in. But
those people that those people that work in suits but
run to work, you know, people that run home and
they put the backpack on and they've been in the
office all day and they've got they've got their shoes

(14:37):
like yeah, after the back of their bag. Yeah, is
just sucking and something about it.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
I think there's a look on their face of like
I figured out time my exercise is my transport.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I'm working out and I'm commuting.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, very unsexy.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Let's got Nina here, Nina, what's the most unattractive thing
a guy can do?

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Advice, or you won't take your advice, or he won't
do any research himself. He'll just call his mum.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
That's very specific. Nina. Thanks for the cure. Memo always
brings up for me.

Speaker 3 (15:22):

like to drip dry, right, but if I do have
to dry myself because I'm in haste, We're rushing to
an event. There's no way to clean to to clean
your goot effectively without you a family family show.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
But how else do you describe the area? How else

Under carriage under sorry, undercarriage perfect, there's no other way
to do it all with you got your hand you
horse o.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
You guys don't do that.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
No, that ism says that, and she's like, that's so discussed.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
That is rain. Do you burn each of your tails?

Speaker 10 (15:58):
Not?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
What do you mean? Well, that just seems pretty hens man,
I've just had a shower. Yeah, but let's go really
full on? Is that full on? I think so? Yeah, yeah,
I think so. I think the idea of that's pretty on.
How do you feel about I mean, I know we
covered it off with the gaming headsets before the old
one ear phone in one earphone in what do you
mess the trick with me? When just the one? In
modern situation, do you have a business business man when

(16:20):
they're in the line to get a coffee and they're
just mate, Yeah, just thanks Mane. Sorry, yeah, now Sean
will buy by dad in the cafe.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Just talk it out, yeah yeah, just talking loudly in public.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Call them after you Just go. Sorry, I'm going to
go to a coffee in front of a bunch of
other people. I don't want to look like a colossal dick.
Exactly the phone or put both headphones in? Yeah, exactly
what are you using the other ear for? Exactly? Where
is your other headphone? Yeah that's sometimes I wonder that
did they just lose it? But it's a choice. Yeah,
it is a choice to look, let's go to mac
here running those guys? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, same, i'mbing

(16:58):
the same person. There's one person on your street.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, every day.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I's got to make you mag what's the most unattractive
thing a guy can do?

Speaker 11 (17:07):
Now, I'm going to disagree with this one, but I
follow the Raiders here and the footy, so I'm not
a Dolphins supportive. But my partner I one day did
the fins up celebration that the Dolphins do while the
foot he was on, and she said that that was
the most disgusting thing she's ever seen. Now, yeah, I
don't know if it was because I was just timmy jockson.

(17:27):
I did fins up, but it had I don't know.
She said it just about made her dry heave.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's a combination. It's something about following sports. It's also
a music thing.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
Mac.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I feel like as soon as you I just think
hand signals in general for men, it's not a safe space.
I once was at a music festival and a couple
of members of the Wu Tang clan were performing, and
you know, we all had the w out, you know,
and the girl I was seeing at the time, I
was like, put it down. I was like, we're all

(17:55):
doing it. It's hard, and the guy at the front,
he's got.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
The w You want to get around around it, but
you just can't.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
What some age you lose that capacity as a heterosexual
man to do these sorts of things.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
Oh know, did you have the Wu Tang swish pants
on as well?

Speaker 2 (18:08):
No? No, I was actually thinking in terms of crowds,
like there's a double standard there as well, because like
you know, if if a girl gets up on another
girl's shoulder in a crowd, you know, just having a
great time, everyone's like get it sis stuff. As soon
as the guy's up there, they just tend to go
to their head. They start doing like they you know,

(18:29):
they're trying to get everyone else involved. It's just there's
something about it. I get aggressive, they get a bit weird. Yeah, yeh.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Whereas when women go on top of shoulders off and
it's just to get a better view.

Speaker 9 (18:37):
Yeah, the guy says that there's a chance to be
like I'm showing off. Yeah that you're not.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, that is it. You're not. That is it. You're
offered in the way. Let's go to caz here, kaz.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
Hey, how are you going?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
We're good? Thank you. Most unattractive thing of guy can do.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Oh god, I have a list of my exers one,
but I think the worst one is avert plerting, especially
when it's with the principal of the primary school. Children
are going to everyone, the parents all know, the children
will know, and you don't know, and he's blurt, No,
that is shocking.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
What do you How did you know it was flirting? Like,
can you give us an example of something?

Speaker 7 (19:14):
At the time, I was oblivious. I was just young
and didn't realize that it was obviously flirting. When he
followed her to America on a visit that he was
in America and one of the other mums said, oh,
that's a cointident, and basically blurted all out that the
whole school knew and I didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm glad you could have a laugh there. You can
dip into it.

Speaker 7 (19:41):
Wasn't at the time.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
I have a beautiful guy fast to.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Go to Disney on Ice. How about that? Get out
of here? Love that it all? Why not have a
new bloke, hey covering more for you here?

Speaker 6 (19:56):
She said, a new bloke and he's a huge fan
of Disney on.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Good on him that night for you guys. We want
to know right now, though, is if someone who's actually
sitting on something value because I think that it's out
there and I was inspired today by this eighteenth century

(20:21):
Spanish ship wreck. So the ship was sunk by the
British Navy in seventeen o eight. They've just founded near
Columbia twenty six billion dollars with treasure. That's good, incredible,
incredible find. That's just totally yeah, and we could go in.
You know, you just spent the song explaining to me
why things are hard to find in the ocean floor,
which you can get on the podcast.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
But right now I know a lot about it. A
lot of it turns out you don't because I watched
that movie. It's big, there's lots of pressure down there.
I just watched Into the Blue as well. I feel
like it's almost like a study on finding Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Nice. So what we're going to do right now is
take your calls because we are trying to find some
treasure right now. I'm glad you have watched Into the
Blue right now because there are people that are sitting
on their own gold and and I think, as you
said before the song, it is important to stipulate here
you don't need this to be evaluated. In fact, I
would prefer it if there's a bit of speculation as
to whether or not you think this is actually valuable.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Because we might we might make an offer.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, I might make an offer. I've siphoned the cash
off and we all know you get a bit trigger happy.
Well maybe orders dip into the pool of wood. There's

Speaker 3 (22:57):
I think she's playing us, by the way, she's very
willing to sell that. You can just tell, you can tell, really, yes,
she's she's already hustliness and I respect her, but just
know that. All right, Let's go to Catherine here. Sorry
to put the business hat on, but let's go to
Catrine Karen.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Business. So I sometimes I don't like I don't like me,
but HI go off for sharing the double Bustard Disney
and Ice and she'd give us those ticket studs. Catherine, Catherine,
you think that you're sitting on some God not that
the double bust Disney and you're sitting on some.

Speaker 10 (23:38):
It's actually a gold tooth. Well, it's a root with
the tooth on it. On the tooth. There's gold on it.
And I found it in my auntie's stuff when she
passed away. I don't know if it's hers or who
it is, but it's got a massive root on it,
a massive gold.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
You're talking about, Catherine.

Be worth a bit. Would you sell it, Catherine.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
Yes, I woud I don't know. Cash converters won't give
me anything for it.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
You YouTube a gold tooth in converters. That's very good,
Matay the line captain worthless, Julie. I'm sorry if cash
converters sell the gold down in Shindler's List, that's what
Liam Neeson does and there can't be that much gold
on a tooth. He doesn't. One of the Jews gives
him his tooth and he melts that down. The gift

(24:46):
him as a gift, doesn't send the movie. But you
can melt these things down. People do the movies all
the time. They're like, oh, how did you buy that house?
Oh you sold your tooth? That melts it down?

Speaker 10 (24:56):
They do it.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
They do it, so we could do that. Okay, it
just sounds like a lot of melting it down. I'll
do it at home. Put on the stuff. Melt gold
at home, yeah, mate, gold soft metal, Julie is cools.
It is very soft. It ruined your pan, Julie willing
to mate. Put your business hat back on. Julie. Hi,
Julia reckon, you're sitting on some gold. I am.

Speaker 12 (25:19):
Indeed, I've got some nails from convict time. My brother
did a refurbishment at Elizabeth Farm cottage in Parramatta many
a year ago and we were allowed to take some
from the from the worksite.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Julian gonna ask you a pretty brutal question, but I
think it is. We asked what do you think is
worth more Catherine's gold tooth or your nails?

Speaker 12 (25:41):
My nails?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, I thought you'd say that. That's a good reason
why he's saying that.

Speaker 12 (25:45):
Obviously, Julie, you're part of Australian history.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
That's why good seal good seals. So definitely from convict times.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Is it from any particular penal colony that we should
know about.

Speaker 12 (25:57):
I have no idea how old.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Nails that you could find a farm in Australia.

Speaker 12 (26:00):
For example, No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, so how do you go on?

Speaker 12 (26:04):
Go on, Julie, Because they because the way in which
they've been made, you can tell they've got square heads.
They've been there are actually oh I saw them come
out of Elizabeth sarm cottage.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
So oh, there's some laid intel there that's come through
for you. So we're going you saw it come out
of a famous cottage.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yes, How many people went home with nails that day, Julie,
Just supply and demand economies of Scarlet's very important.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Okay, we've all got them. How many nails the two weeks?
What do you think they're worth, Julie?

Speaker 12 (26:44):
Well, I think they're priceless because they're Australian history, and
I know that, I know that my siblings.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
I might put Julia on hold. All right now, No,
we've got to keep moving here. I've got to keep
moving because we ask people we're sitting on some golden
and then we actually have got some gold. Well, the
Beatles stubbs is good. Yeah, I think so is the
gold tooth with the root he keeps the gold. Doty

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Now she hung out. I can't you hear me back?
Just sink the knife in when she's off the phone. Trump, Hey,
Eddie's big military parade.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
I wasn't across it, but a couple of producers have
told me that, yeah, he had a bit of a
well people are calling it a sloppy parade.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Well a shin dig. He had a bit of a
shin dig.

Speaker 13 (31:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Well, and look it was. It was a bit sloppy,
and it was I think it was a tough pill
to swallow for a lot of Americans, given that he
cut a lot of their funding to a lot of
you know, starving people all over the world, which and
then he spent sixty five million dollars on a military parade.
Oh that's a real slap. Twenty eight tanks, six seven
hundred soldiers and look a few people rocked up. It was.

(31:31):
It was. It was a real disappointment. I mean, I'll
talk about this more in a second, but it kind
of felt like a kid's birthday party where just not
a lot of people rocked up. Oh, it had so
much so that Fox News, which is obviously, you know,
very right wing leaning news service. This is the audio

(31:53):
they had, okay of the parade. Have a listened to
this going off?

Speaker 13 (32:01):
Thank you to Vice President Advance, and thank you to
our wonderful first lady.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
Okay, what do you mean it was a flop? This
is the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
This is the raw footage from PBS without the added
crowd applause. Oh, thank you very much everybody.

Speaker 13 (32:25):
Thank you to Vice President Advance, and thank you to
our wonderful first lady.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's like six people.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's like it's like the sound of when a band
is starting out and they're doing their first gig and
it's just like your family and then two mates being like.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Whoa god, so he's up there, and yeah, that's pretty
much what it was. It did remind me a little
bit of a like when I was a little kid
and you had like a really a birthday party and
you kind of knew that it was bad. I don't
know if you ever had a disappointing kids party, but
often my kids parties were based on which cake from
the Women's Weekly Mum found easiest to cook. I think

(33:02):
I had the Chu Chuo chain three times. Oh, I
had a train party when I was twelve years old.
Makes sense, So a train as was good on a
cake train was easy made party popcorn for the coil,
I don't know how to make it off by heart,
mince slices for the wheels. So it's a piece of cake.
So what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
You went into trains at all, but because your mum
was like.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Five, it was great at five. But then when I
had the train party at twelve and I'm asking my
friend to rock up with Thomas the tank Engine, it
gets a little bit Strangeah sure out about that? Yeah? Yeah,
about that? The other cake. If anyone else's mum made
the Women's Weekly cakes, I think every mum was doing
that to make every mum or dad, i should say,
but there were certain ones that were easy to make.
The Hickory Dickory dock cake easy to make. It's just

(33:39):
a round cake. It's a clock, brilliant and you just
put a mouse on there. I never got that cake.
You never got that? Well, well, the one that has
an age, well, that I definitely have. Was also the
Cowboys and Indians cake, okay, which okay fell into the
dustbin of history. So did you have a Cowboys Indians party?
Had too? That's the cake mum new how to make. Yeah,
don't ask me what I was so so I'm trying

(34:00):
to realize they get older though. The key to not
having a disappointing kids party is don't do it yourself.
And this is kind of the age that you get
into with kids parties is you get a little bit older.
I think get people to organize it. Four we go
to these places. You know, we used to go to
the Plaster fun House. Bang, that's go there fifteen times
in a year.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
The good thing about that is as an end time
to it as well, it's just like you hear from
one till three, get out.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
And other people take care of the kids.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yes, yes, you get to sit back. You can even
drop your kids off. It's a bit about it, right.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's certainly what mom and dad did.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I was going to a first berth out on the
weekend and they sort of like half halfway house. They
just like they had it at a venue. Then they
hide all this party gear, so the kids just kind
of went to a far corner.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
So we just do that at a playground. Yeah, genius,
I don't need to hire the year well effectively a
play So they brought the playground to the party.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Why you're right, they probably could have gone away to
a playground. Well, the venue was lovely for the adults.
The machine there we're getting coffee and.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
P is the thing. You just need to just sholder
arms as a parent, No, I see it. It was nice.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Was he shouldered arms, and I fully appreciate that for
next birthday. But this birthday was out of the weekend.
There were like coffees going around, There were going around,
there was a huge like you know, canna pay his table, right,
and then the kids just kind of they effectively had
a corner on.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
The on the playground. Pretty much pretty much, it worked
out really well. There are also moments I think where
obviously the kids party can be read disappointing based on
something that happens at the birthday party. Sure it can
be particularly tragic, and you may or may not want
to go there. But I know that your auntie was
caught hooking up with Spot the Dog at one of
your parties.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Well not no, no, not like that out of context
that sounds outrageous, but yeah, Spot the Dog came to
my party because I was obviously into Spot, and yeah, no,
I saw my my auntie hooking.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Up with Spot.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Yeah, it was totally wild and there was a butt
gave been there and everything.

Speaker 8 (35:57):
Oh wow, Spots, but yeah, yeah you grabbed Spots ass right,
Spots absolutely well, asked my uncle. Oh sorry, your uncle
was but yes, yeah, sorry, the punchlinder, that is. But yes,
my uncle was the one who dressed up as spot
my aunt. He's not just someone who's into mascots or

(36:17):
anyone dressed up, although who knows, who knows, maybe it
really added something.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's really woody.
