Speaker 1 (00:06):
Massive fight in my house at the moment, will over
cellar or dungeon.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, I'm putting that off to a dungeon.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm putting that down for at least a week because
it fires me up. You know, there's something else that's
I feel like this disagreement in my household has just
been bubbling away, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Say, for the last two years. Oh wow, So.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm pretty I'm pretty sure you know this. I love
to take a nature.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Wi Yes, I do know that. I thought that there
was I.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Think it's I think it's water saving.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I just think it's nice to get out there in
fresh air, take a WII in the garden in the breeze.
There you're saving water and it's also more convenient. It's
a shorter walk to get outside and take away than
to walk to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So I wei in nature will we?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Previously though, this started out is because you didn't want
to fart in the hand.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's how it started.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So previous partners of mine, who I wasn't passing wind
in front of I would say I'm just ducking outside
for a week, and I'd go on fart outsides. They
wouldn't hear that and then I realized in this period
of time that oh wow, ween outside is delightful, like
dogs must like love it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's just good though, like it kills the grass.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, that's my partner's argument, and she joins us on
the phone right now, So, Mim, you you've made it
very clear to me that you are very anti me
Ween in the garden.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Well, I just don't understand. We have toilets. It makes
no sense.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, it does make sense because it's actually more convenient
to just walk outside rather than walking all the way
to the bathroom and.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
All, like we live in a castle, like we're literally
like our toilet is pretty much the same distance.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, okay, garden, it's slightly it's a slightly smaller distance
to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And also, Mim, I'm saving water.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
No, but you know my biggest argument here, and I
feel like we'll will definitely back me up on this.
I'm the one who does the weeding in the garden,
and so I'm constantly weeding, and then I'm basically just
like handling like your urine. Like that's like the basis
of it that I'm upset about. And then the other
time you took a pee in the tree, and then
(02:17):
I went outside straight after and didn't realize and I
was all wet on my hair, and then you let
me know that that was actually Piers.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Wow, that was one time. That was one time?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Did you how many times that happened?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And you not tell me? Yeah? No, Okay, it kills
the garden as well. Okay, i'd like to point out
can well, Okay, drinking filtered water.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm not sure that it does kill the kind. But
I'm detecting from your tone here that you're on the inside.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
My dog's not allowed to wear in our backyard.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
What.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, you take it to the nature's neighbor's trip.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, you take it.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
If you want to do that, you can do that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I take I take it in Mike and Mandy's nature strip.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Do Mike and Mandy know that? No, we're calling Mike.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And it's really annoying, you know, when you guys got
a beautiful garden. Now I've seen it's absolutely studying. It's
annoying when you know it's my dog. She doesn't know
that she's doing that. You know that you're killing your
own garden.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I think the disagreement here is that I don't
think it is killing the garden. I think I'm a healthy,
thirty five year old human man, and I think those
plants would actually be rejuvenated from the nutrients that I'm delivering.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Maybe if I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Away out of vitamin supplements you take, they might get
a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Exactly, I have very healthy urine.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Look, and I feel my client, sorry, mimah, don't mind me.
My clientel like I feel like, well now they running
team together. My client's also bes that you also have
urinated in we in trees, which she has walked in
subsequently and had urine in her hair. Well, all I had
to put that out there.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I think that's a strong argument, there would masks, and
that's strong.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, but that's that's reckless of you to be walking
through trees, I would say. Anyway, the man who can
answer this question though, about the health of the garden
if it is hit with nutrient rich urine is Costa,
the host of guard in Australia seven thirties.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Costa. Hello, I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Say, I'm just yeah, okay, that's better.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, we're going to take you away outside.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
I thought I've got to be true to the story.
I better have a quick week and that way I'm
really in the space. Otherwise I could just be commenting
on just a conversation topic.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
So no, not a proble.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Got to try before your comment. I love that cost
you take your job very very seriously.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Now, firstly, kind of say mate, I've always been a
massive fan of your work.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm a massive fan of you, so it is lovely
to meet you.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
But give the pleasure if we can.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Cut down to brass tacks here.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Mate, you've heard the argument between me and my partner
I have where do you stand?
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Oh, look, do I need to speak? I think it's
a it's a given that you know nature. This is
you know, when nature calls. People say that, oh, when
nature calls. When nature calls, we need to deliver. We
don't want to put it into a system and take
it miles away. When if we have a garden, you know, soils,
(05:13):
so many of our soils are so nitrogen deficient, and
we have this wonderful resource, as you said, you know
that that can be you know, freely added to the garden.
But you know, everyone talks about the wonderful needs of
a lemon tree having a bit of a weez. So
I think it's more than more than a valuable addition
(05:36):
to every garden.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Mim.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Would you like to say anything to Costa?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Mim?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
You're absolutely killing me here, You're killing me. Can we
maybe make a rule then that he can do it
in the areas where I don't guarden, so he can
do it on his lawn because he maintains that, but
not in the places that I weed.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I hear you, because oh don't if he's if he's
you know, just just willy nearly spraying over the top
of the plants and things. There could be a certain
bouquet that comes with it. But if he peels the
malts back and puts it down straight on the soil,
puts the malts back over the top, he's injecting a
valuable nitrogen source and it won't offend you because it'll
(06:18):
go down into the soil and it won't be leaving
that that fragrance the.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Soil and then comes inside and touches me. Cost No.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, look, question for somebody else, is you talk about
the gardens.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
I don't care about anybody else.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
When he thinks about me, I touch myself, you know,
I don't even know if he washes his hands when
he comes out of the lou anyway, so you know
we're probably opening.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Up a serious can of worms there.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
But I think, you look, the best therapy is horticulture therapy.
I think the more time you let him spend in
the garden, even if it's having a week, he's going
to come back grounded.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
He does actually help you more lovely.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
More ween outside, gun washed, penis hands das, Virginity is
Custa and were outside.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Everyone, Long live the outdoor week. Costa your a Legend.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You can see Costa hosting garden Ning Australia.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Seven thirty fridays on the a VC Your a Legends.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Later.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
This story is awesome. It stopped the nation.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
This one, a man called Adam Fulkerson has effectively got
inside Australia's biggest pumpkin wow pumpkin fucker and and paddled
it down a river. Now this is very the very
You be careful, mate. I just said his name, you didn't.
Which is his name is Adam? His name is Adama.
(08:13):
I'm saying his name anyway. That guy who we're talking
about joins us up next to warm up.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Adam was his first name, Well, there's a lot. Yeah,
you can't do this to me. No one, John Howard, David.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No one's doing it to He joined Adam Adam Adam
f joins us up next to talk about writing or
paddling a huge pumpkin down the river.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But before that, that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Other people have used vegetables in different ways, and this
is a warm up for Adam.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
We got Sharon here. Sharon, what did you use in
a different way?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Hi, guys.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
The best thing that I found was cippy, a badly
sumbur tomato in house, and you grew up the tomato
the bird area took Sharon.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Any sort of tomato or or a great any sort love.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
That trust, preferably a red tomato, all of them.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Red hack, very good.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's a hot hack. It yeah, Henry, Henry.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That is a hard hack.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
That's a it is literally and metaphorically Henry here because
the burn. Yeah, what did you use a vegetable for?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Hey, guys, I used the potato on the inside of
potato to wipe on my windows, off my car.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Window so it doesn't fog up.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
It doesn't fog up.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Wow, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. If
you take the innards of a potato and rub it
on your window. It doesn't fog.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Could I do that with my swimming goggles?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You can? As long as you film it. What's happening,
As long as you film it and I get to
fill me everyone's well, potato is very starchy. That's where
I'm going to start. And I remember to follow that.
I say, well, okay, let me just can I can?
I can? You let me just have a bit of
a dance here. So well, we think about it in
my swimming goggles slash diving mask, I dive you. I
(10:05):
put my saliva on the inside, has the same effect.
So I'm going to suggest there's an enzyme in the
potato which is also in the saliva.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I mean, I don't know if it's true, but it
seems good.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It did sound good. Sorry, is your saliva starch? Is
their natural starch in your sal saliva?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're asking the wrong man.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really, Well, you've got half an exercise. Science.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Science doesn't really focus on saliva.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Let's go to We're going to bring a focus.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
In fact, you know a bit about salivity.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
What have you got?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
More potento, the starch and the potato acts as a barrier.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Between the glass and the air and can help with
that all too common issue of your windscreen fog.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Give me celebration music. That's nable now, but we didn't
get it down. Is their starch in saliva? Which is
you know? Because if I get that, you have a
look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Check that. We'll go to Tony tom.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, so in saliva there's an enzyme which hydrolyzes starch
into Probably should his undey tty pants. That's awesome, pans off,
that's an extraordinary moment. Don't left your hands up, you
do it, pops out. Let's go to Tony here, Tony,
(11:24):
what did you use a vegetable for?
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Look?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I was very drunk at this point, but I used
the vegetable. Sorry, used tato to hammer and a nail
into the wall.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Did it work?
Speaker 6 (11:36):
It did work?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Unreally well done?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Right up next to a guy who wrote a pumpkin
down the river?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Did your ex have a weird hobby?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Doesn't have to be the reason you broke up with them.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I just want to hear about like just weird activity
that an ex liked to do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We used to have a friend in Perth who her
partner was known as the beekeeper.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
She she attended bees.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He attended bees, Sorry, he intended bed. Steve Steve, his
name was Steve the bee we. I didn't know him
anything else but Steve the Beekeeper. Never got his last name.
But that's because his hobby was so strange and it
wasn't do it professionally.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
No, he ain't. He just loved being around of eyes. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I found out months after like interacting with that guy
that he didn't love being called the beekeeper apparently?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did you also find out that he had a huge penis?
That was that was hot?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I didn't get that detail. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
The reason we are asking about your ex's weird habits
is because we got a great phone call from a
woman called Maria who told us this.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I just finished hanging out with a guy like I've
been kind of seeing for a little while. And this
guy used to breathe at the dictionary before bed.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I was just like, okay to.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Learn words or out of enjoyment.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I beak loanword.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Surely it was a joke.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Nah, he was a dudes. I think it was just.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So he just like I'm hitting these tonight. Is that
what he's saying? I guess so tonight I'm covering. It's
just awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I just, I just I love the humans that exist
on this planet and the things that they get up to.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I just think that's the best part about life.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
She feel so over that guy at all, like he
was obviously such an idiot that he didn't have enough
words to no disagree.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He's he's just a curious who wants to increase his vocabulary.
And the way to do it, kids is to just
tuck into the Dictionary every night before bit. I love
it now, Will I've been the weird ex and my
my girlfriend at the time, did let me know that?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
When did you realize that you've been a weird X
for a long time?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Straight to up a bit?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You're a great topic at dinner parties with one of
your exits. My god, did he get up to some
weird ship well, these particular eggs.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
She was with me during the time in my life
when I was really into beach dips.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I loved to go down to the beach for a.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Dip, but I always have it. Recently, you've been dawn
dawn dipping nude dorn dips with the elderly.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Was it not not nude. But I dorn dip with
the elderly.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes, but this is back in a time when I
didn't live anywhere near the ocean, but I love to
get in the beach. So what I would do is
I would drive to the ocean and I would fill
up pump water bottles full of sea water, four or
five of them, right, and then I'd chuck them in
the back of my car and I would drive home.
And then what my ex would wake up to is
me standing in the corner of the bedroom pumping myself.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
With the with the water bottle, like squirting the seawater
on my face. And this was my way of getting
an ocean dip in the morning. I did that for.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I told you, when did you realize you were the
weird ex? Sarah? Your X had a weird hobby? Talk
to us.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yes, my ex actually collected hair. So I was looking
through his Yes, I was in his room. I found
the draw in a drawer. There was all this bits
of hair, and I was what it meant. And then
for my birthday and for his birthday, he asked me
for a lock of my head.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And you guys are still happy, Sarah right out next
on thirty one six five.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What's the weird hobby that your ex had?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
If you were reading the dictionary before bed, so you
had to read the dictionary, what do you think would
be your letter of choice? Like, if you had to
hit one letter, what do you think the best Where
do the best words sit in the alphabet?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I know you love words, will your words?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'd probably just avoid letter well, process elimination, I'd avoid.
I'd avoid letters which are recurring suffixes or sorry, recurring prefixes.
You're losing a little bit, and give you worrying questions.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Give me a letter you can't even choose. You love
words so much. I'm moving on.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
We've also had a call about a woman whose ex
us to collect hair and asked for him from her
for his birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I was a weird X.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I used to squirt seawater on my face for it
for a morning dip. Errand weird has called the Errand
this was your ex who had a bit of a
weird hobby.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yes, it was the news.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
It was start at four o'clock. Then he watched the
four thirty session and the five o buck picked the box,
and then he switched over the ABC and.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Then if he didn't, he wouldn't do anything in the
house like look after the kids, but the rubbish out
this is anything until he had watched every possible episode
of the You mean to tell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Me that we've actually found the person in Australia who
watches tens first at five, because that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Really.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
Five o'clock every episode.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But then the book will get the guys make sure
we get in touch the first, you know, and we're
just getting kicked in the ars at six o'clock and
they were like, you know what we can't do. Six
is nine and seven cans seven Channel twos have that
for ages. Let's hit him with first of fve no
one time. But that's all we can go for.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
All we can hope for.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Is that somebody gets home early from work in terms
of the TV on in their hotel room because they've
got nothing else to do, and hopefully they'll watch our
news program.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Lana, Lana, I love this. This is a confession. You're
you're the weird act. You had a bit of a
weird hobby.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
That's right, I am the weird ex. I actually I
go ghost hunting. Sorry, I go ghost hunting.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
So okay, first step you believe in ghosts.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I do.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I believe there are spirits active.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, So where does a hunt take you? Lana?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What makes you think or I reckon there's a there's
a ghost in Wangaratda? Like, what makes you think that?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Well?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
We have evidence from other people who have perhaps been
there for their own paranormal investigation. So me and my
team we head there.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
For your team.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Do you have a name for your.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
Teamula Paranormal Society look us up on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, lot, Lana, we're asking if we could have asked
anything then and you would have called up. You're not
like you like no basic, She's.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Right on topic, Lana, quickly, what's the what's the best
ghost interaction that you've had?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Because I'm going to be honest with you, Will's a
bit of a cynic.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
He is okay?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Paranormal? What do you called? Lana?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
What's that though?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What are you called again?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
Mornington Peninsula Paranormal Society maybe MPPs.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
All right, Lana, the best ghost interaction?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Go right when to Mount Master Community and the Learning Center,
the big white building on the hill. I had my
first interaction there with a lady with a white dress
on in a wedding dress. She was about between the
ages of eighteen to twenty two, hair up in a bun,
and I dropped my notepad and she came up right
(18:54):
behind my boss, acting like she was almost going to
walk through my boss. Is true.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Everything she did walk through.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
What she was just getting married on the pininch.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Well she she might have been, but she was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
We're just taking calls on what you used a vegetable
for aside from eating, obviously, and I'm going to be
honest with you, pretty disappointing responses. But the reason we
asked that question is because a man called Adam Fukuerson.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm going to throw to Adam. Right, we are we
saying your last name correctly.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
There, Adam, Yeah, I means you say it wrong. It
does sound like a swear word. So you've done well.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Thank you mate.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We are live on radio, so we are really walking
the tight rope when we say funks.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Which is probably say you just call me Adam.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Then, yeah, Adam, I've actually cunning.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I've actually thought of quite an appropriate nickname for you.
I call you the pump King because well, you tell everyone,
pump King, what have you just done?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Well, there's a bit of a story to it to
a made of mine grew an enormous pumpkin. So I
actually went around a cert when it was growing and
put stuff on Facebook. Fair to say, this guy, Mark
Pecock put in a lot more work than I. So
he spent four months going on this thing. And it's
a bohemoth deep. We had to use a tractor with
forks to get it on a youth to take. He
took it up to the Sydney Page to show and
he won the blue ribbon up there. So it's four
(20:30):
and seven kilos, which is the size of a horse.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh my god, the size of a horse.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Wow. Well it's the weight of a horse. So it's
this big nugget.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So it's.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Imagine and it's bigger orange thing. It looks like Chuck
Norris's testicle, I think, so allegiedly. So I've heard what
I've done. When I saw this thing and said what
are you going to do when you finished? And he goes, well,
I don't know, And I asked him a good paddle
and he thought it was a great audea. So that
that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you you had the idea to so you obviously have.
Did you hollow the big boy out.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Oh yeah, yep. So he actually hollowed that out with
his dad because the seeds are fifty dollars each, so
it's sort of like a Melbourne Cup winning horse and
you've got a foal. So he's going to sell the
files off later and he doesn't trust me with that
amount of money, I guess. So, yeah, he did all
the hard work and all he would scribble Cinderella on
the side of it, hopped in and paddle it down
the river.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wow, wow wow, slide down, hopped in and cuddled it
down the river. My lord?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So which which whereabouts in particular? Were you Adam?
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Yeah, so we're in Tumid in New South walest We're
right at the bottom of the snowy hydro scheme. It's
our river Barregon is one of the most beautiful rivers
in Australia. It's very clear. But with that it comes
it's very fast and very cold. So paddle it for
a mile down that river, I mean, and how was
she in?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Very slimy, so it's very it's not a pleasant feeling
at all, but yeah, it didn't didn't handle it all well.
It's like a very heavy fat in Hube. The sort
of paddle down the river, but very stable and did
you stay dry like fairly? I had all the goose
it's his slimy stuff on the inside out of a marrow.
(22:10):
So yeah, it was pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This has captured the nation, mate, this is making national news.
I mean, you're on our radio show right now because
the talk. What were people's reactions like though when they
saw you on the side of the river there, when
you were floating down inside of humongous pumpkin.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Well, I put a post up on Friday because my
wife said you probably should put it on face. I
would have really basic like tomorrow, I'm going to paddle
a bit. The first person a paddle of pumpkin in
the chim River at eleven o'clock. That was all I put.
We had more lights on that than I have friends,
so I knew something had gone wrong, but we we
rocked on down to the river in the first vehicle
I saw was an emulan, so I thought that had
(22:45):
really gone wrong. Mark reckons there about a thousand people there,
which is incredible in it down with only six thousand.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
All right, So this is this is the maiden voyage
of this humongous pumpkin, I mean, Adam slash pump king.
I'm keen to really test this thing out. Do you
still have the hollowed at pumpkin in your position?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Well kind of so, because it's so big where we
pulled up, we had no way of moving it, so
you couldn't physically lift it because it's so heavy. So
the end for for Cinderella was yeah, we cut it
up with an axe and put it in a trailer
and now it's feeding some cattle out at moreen Law's farm.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's a shame.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Is there any chance you make the peacock could grow
another humongous pumpkin? Because I wouldn't mind seeing how this
thing goes on the open seas.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Good lucky, make sure you get plenty of life in
sureance policies. He's planning to grow on next year. He's
only for six hundred kilo, isn't it Because he's a maniac,
So yeah, he's planning to do It's.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Like buying a horse. Like do we need to sort of,
you know, put a dibsy in early on.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
That or.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
After this has happened, you probably do, Yeah, madam.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I hope to see you maybe inside another vegetable as well.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
M V vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Hey, that's right, one of us gets vulnerable and events day.
It's very important, I think for people to be vulnerable
for lots of reasons, but most importantly, I think because it's.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Good for you to do that, good for your growth,
good for you people, good for the.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
People around you, and in this day and age, given
the mental health crisis, I just think it's arguably the
most healthy thing you can do in your whole life.
Not joking, I really do think that I reckon in
terms of your actual happiness. If you can be vulnerable
around people, you're going to be a lot happier.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Never as hard or as as you think it's going
to be.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yes, think about the conversation you don't want to have
with either your best friend or your partner. Just think
about it now and you're thinking, oh my god, that'll
be horrific. It's never as bad as you think.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, that's true, unless you're doing it on national radio.
Now Woods, Yes, a question for you, And because this
is the question I'm trying to answer, Why do you
start Why have I started caring about getting old?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Would it be because you are starting to see like
the physical signs of.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Like, okay, very interesting. I think that I think that
starts to answer it, but I don't think it gets
to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So I started losing my hair very early on. We
joked about the.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Fact that I was four or five weeks hanging on
in Kingdom when it's set in, and I thought, and
I think that that made me a lot better at
getting old, because I did start losing my hair as
I shaved my head early, like the impacts it because
I felt like I already kind of dealt with that demon.
But every now and then it kind of jumps up
(26:09):
at me. And I'm thirty four, by the way, but
every now and then it jumps up at me and
I get scared again. And I was reminded of that
when I saw Hugh Grant at the at the Oscars
with the oscars, Remember he need did that thing, and
he actually referenced the fact that his face looked like
a scrotum. He said that. I remember, yeah, because he
(26:29):
was standing next to the other chick from four when
he's interfering and he's like, this is what a good
moisturizer looks like. She looks amazing. My face looks like
a scrotum, yes, And all of a sudden I started
getting work because I was like, shit, I don't use moisturizer.
I don't want to have a scrot him face. And
then it hit me again. I was like, oh my god,
there I am again scared about getting old. And then
today there was this wombat in the news who got
(26:51):
traded with the Japanese, got traded to Japan when he
was very young. He's thirty four years old now, by
the way, oldest one bat in the world. And our
team wrote this email to me at the start of
the day saying he's thirty four the one bat. We
think that's middle aged. Oh, and I was like, well
shit that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, hang on, yas I'm older than well, that's not
middle aged. Middle is fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, well so I think that changes as you get older.
I think that's the track. So anyway, so then it
hit me again. So I'm gonna ask you again, why
why do you think you care? Why do you why
do you like do you care? I'm starting to care.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I start having an awareness of the fact that I'm
not going to be here forever, and I think the
old I think when I was younger, it's just I
was that invincibility about you, whereas I'm thirty five now
and you just start doing the math in your head where.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's like, oh, I could be halfway there.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So it's a death thing for you, Well you just have.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
For me, it's like a far more certain view of
like I will one day not be here, and that
day is coming quicker than I thought.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, so it's a death your that's a much deeper
reason than mine, I think, I think, and I'm generalize
this a little bit here. Maybe other thing is I
think the reason that I care about getting old is
because I care about my relevancy to other people. I
think so because if I think about it, the like
(28:14):
when Hugh Grant did that thing and he was like,
look how old I am. Subconsciously I was immediately like,
he's over the hill.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh don't you think you get more respect? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
No, and I and I thought about this more because
you might get you get what I What I hate
more than anything is people patronizing me or caring too
much about me.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
He'd be great in a retirement home.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, this is funny you mentioned that because Harry who
who's our geezer from our World's worst tech support lovely guy.
He told me that, like, he walks into a shopping
center now he's what eighty eighty five eighty five. He
says that he walks into a shopping center now with
his wife, and people literally evaporate in front of you.
They just know you're so irrelevant to me. I don't
(28:57):
want to help you. And I'm worried about the fact
that as I get older and this is this is
a very hard thing to care about, but I will
become less relevant, which means people will care less about me.
And I think it's funny you and I working in
the media. The only thing that saved me about from
panicking about this earlier is because we walk in an
audible medium.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
True, No, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Very quite seriously, like how I look my aging, my
physical aging doesn't matter to.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
People as much because it doesn't my career doesn't rely
on it. Socials pop off though sometimes.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean if they see you as soon as the
camera flips to me, I mean they leave in droves.
We've seen the numbers now. But I think what I
think is really interesting about this and potentially tragic, is
I feel like that's why there's so much more focus
for women on anti aging and stuff is because often
their relevancy is tied to how they look traditionally, which
(29:55):
is tragic. And I think the other proof of this
is like if you're if you're relevancy is tied to
how you look, right, and if that's what's keeping you cool,
and that's what's keeping you relevant, how you look, hence
you get scared of aging. That's why when you look
at anyone who's becomes a writer or a producer or
a director, they look washed up as hell because they
(30:16):
don't care about aging anymore. Because their relevancy doesn't actually
rely on how they look anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's not their currency.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
It's their currency is what they're writing or what they're
exactly opposed to.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They're allowed to deteriorate. And because people still have something
to respect them for.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Imagine how it would be for a model.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I know, I started thinking about your whole life has
been you know, it's obviously.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I shed a tear for Gasel Bunching when I was
writing this.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think the bunch is doing okay.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
So anyway to close this off because I need to
just finalize this. Yeah, I'm worried that I'm losing relevancy,
and I know that the other end of that spectrum
is becoming a hack, which is you're old, You're over
the hill, washed up, you keep pushing it. I'm DJing
in town on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Did you say in town?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah? I think it's just lolls in the studio.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
That's my favorite thing about Australian radio stations. You guys
always play some candors and it makes you feel like, oh,
I'm so special?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Is not? I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I used to look at radio and it was more so. Yeah,
just did hear?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Did silence? Welcome to the studio?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Are you doing that thing? My parents do? And I
talk about how much like a lolly is and they're like,
when I did it? We have sound effects?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Now there was an airhorn I brought in. I bring
my own.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
How's this show going?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh, it's been so fun. It's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
Really.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
We're sort of in the final week now, and usually
at this point you sort of regret all of your
life decisions that lead you here and you go, why
did I choose this career path? But that hasn't hit
me yet. Just so many shows, like I've done so
many that you just kind of you get in a
loop and you you hyper analyze it. But it's been
really fun this time.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
That's good to relate.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I heard about the the there was an accident in
an evacuation the other night.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Oh yes, you say that. It wasn't okay, you made
it sound so much worse, but it was.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The thing is commercial radio, that's my job.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Don't you play this down?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
This down us.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So essentially there was a fire evacuation, but it was
They knew it was a false alarm because someone had
come and like fixed the smoke alarms that day, so
they're like, okay, it's they're fiddled with it. But because
my show is called Attack of the Melanie brace Well,
it was. The show was about to start and over
the speakers it goes, this is an evacuation, please leave
the building, and the crowd were like laughing, Ah, this
(32:51):
is this is a pretty funny bet.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
This is a funny way to start a show.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
And if it was in these seas and I had
to literally come out and be like, no, that's not
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
We need to we need I thought that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Was I would have definitely thought that was a joke though,
because what were you wearing.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
I was wearing a suit with flames on it. I
would double like this, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But were they like, okay, actual fire, you come out
in a fire suit for another five so I sort
of you know, heard it out them, get them going,
like genuinely we.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Need to leave. And it was just like the awkwardest
fifteen minutes standing on the street, stood out there. It's
not like I had my own separate fire escape, like.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I just we all went out together.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
I was like this, should I just still do the show?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
On the way out, like I don't know if we're
going to do the Like when you're out there, were
you like because you're like, this is my crowd tonight,
Like you know, were you doing gear or were you.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Like no, damn it, you're not supposed to smoke. A
pack of duries backstage used to me like that, but me,
you know, you can't really kick that up for fifteen
minutes when they're like, you know, anyway, you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Use any material from your shower to see that.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Yes, And there were three fire trucks as well, about
like like three of them.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I was like, this is definitely overcurl but and then
if you go so you did go back into this.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yes, and people had to leave their drinks, so they
had to leave their drinks on the steerwell, and remember
which drink was there. So people were just grabbing like
a random, random mellow from the staircase on the way,
and it really exactly, I mean, that's my crowd. And
people would have they actually got a sick and go
(34:40):
at finding a good seat. I think so people would
have everyone was seated. I think some people would have gone, oh,
I was on the edge. Okay, all right, we can
finise this. If we let twenty people in in front,
then maybe we'll get roasy and yeah, so some people
were like, I got way better seat the second time round.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I got three free mills.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Shotter. Sorry, this is like a fascinating social experiment.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I think it really.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
I was at nice breaker for the crowd, because I
feel like sometimes in a comedy show you need the
crowd feels like they need to be a dressed in
some way to be like can she see us?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
But I'll be like, wow, we were.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Just on the street together for about fifteen minutes, so
it feels like that was a bonding exercise for us all.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
You should do it every time.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
It feels like now, yeah, if it happens again, it's suspicious.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
We got more mail brace right next to on will
and what you see, only got a few shows to
go but attack the Melie brace wells uh oh Melanie
brace Well.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Wow, my god, she's multiplying.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Live Nation.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
And I don't ask you about your comedy show. It
is about a real life crime.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
It is. This is a true crime comedy show only
about the guy who stole my ear pods, and the
show is about trying to track him down because when
you lose an Apple device, you can see their location
at all times. So yeah, so I had been tracking
his basically his entire existence, and the show is me
(36:16):
building up the courage to eventually approach this man and
do I claim them back?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Do I meet him? What happens? You know that that's
the hook. Usually it's like, I don't usually have a hook.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Like this for a show about my crazy life. So
it's really refreshing to actually have something to sell the
show with.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I hope this isn't giving away too much and I
don't want to give away the show, But how how
long were you tracking him before?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
If there was a confrontation a long time.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
So I lost them in May last year, and you know,
and then the beld up has just been a long
time because again, you.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Don't really want a guy just the or death city.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
That I just thought.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I looked at his daily routine as well.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
I thought, he's doing those six am gym classes every morning,
all this stuff that I painted a picture of this guy.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
And is it a man? We don't know y location wise?
What was the biggest shock you got?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Like hmm, yeah, probably outside the mountain in prison. That really.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
That really threw me.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
I was kind of like, that's what's scared. That's why
it took so long for me to want to do
anything about it, because I thought it.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Could be scared.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
He could be visiting his mates.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
You know. Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
It was wild.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I would just do it.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I would just be at lunch being like watching what
should I quite quite an unhealthy amount. I would check
and I would screenshot a check and screenshot, like I
basically had sort of like red string around my house,
just you know, painting a picture of this man's entire
life before building up.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The current and the oh I did a son more questions, No, no, no, no,
I think you've got to go and see the show.
We're giving away way too much. Yeah, but that is
a great hook. Yeah, exactly all the show.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Yeah, such end listeners got.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Him, got him? They come and it's nothing to do
with us at all.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
It's like, doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I saw the tickets.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
You're running on. She is at the Melburne Comedy Festival,
and I'm mentioning all the comedy festivals. She's obviously one
of the hosts on The Cheap Seas as well, which
is back on the thirty of April eight thirty, Channel
ten and ten plays. So you can get Melanie Bracewell
wherever you want to get her.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Really, wow, Melanie Bracewell, wherever you want.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
To get her.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yeah, if you just look and you'll find my amp.
You can see where I am at all times. I've
I've given everyone in the crowd and ear tags, but
full on, okay, Will's heaters in the microphone. You can
eat a blinking through the airwaves.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
But you got get it where you can.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Get it, where if you want to.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Get it, you can get it.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
She's so easy to have an email?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Why not
Massive fight in my house at the moment, will over
cellar or dungeon.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, I'm putting that off to a dungeon.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm putting that down for at least a week because
it fires me up. You know, there's something else that's
I feel like this disagreement in my household has just
been bubbling away, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Say, for the last two years. Oh wow, So.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm pretty I'm pretty sure you know this. I love
to take a nature.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Wi Yes, I do know that. I thought that there
was I.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Think it's I think it's water saving.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I just think it's nice to get out there in
fresh air, take a WII in the garden in the breeze.
There you're saving water and it's also more convenient. It's
a shorter walk to get outside and take away than
to walk to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So I wei in nature will we?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Previously though, this started out is because you didn't want
to fart in the hand.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's how it started.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So previous partners of mine, who I wasn't passing wind
in front of I would say I'm just ducking outside
for a week, and I'd go on fart outsides. They
wouldn't hear that and then I realized in this period
of time that oh wow, ween outside is delightful, like
dogs must like love it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's just good though, like it kills the grass.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, that's my partner's argument, and she joins us on
the phone right now, So, Mim, you you've made it
very clear to me that you are very anti me
Ween in the garden.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Well, I just don't understand. We have toilets. It makes
no sense.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, it does make sense because it's actually more convenient
to just walk outside rather than walking all the way
to the bathroom and.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
All, like we live in a castle, like we're literally
like our toilet is pretty much the same distance.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, okay, garden, it's slightly it's a slightly smaller distance
to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And also, Mim, I'm saving water.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
No, but you know my biggest argument here, and I
feel like we'll will definitely back me up on this.
I'm the one who does the weeding in the garden,
and so I'm constantly weeding, and then I'm basically just
like handling like your urine. Like that's like the basis
of it that I'm upset about. And then the other
time you took a pee in the tree, and then
(02:17):
I went outside straight after and didn't realize and I
was all wet on my hair, and then you let
me know that that was actually Piers.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Wow, that was one time. That was one time?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Did you how many times that happened?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And you not tell me? Yeah? No, Okay, it kills
the garden as well. Okay, i'd like to point out
can well, Okay, drinking filtered water.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm not sure that it does kill the kind. But
I'm detecting from your tone here that you're on the inside.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
My dog's not allowed to wear in our backyard.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
What.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, you take it to the nature's neighbor's trip.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, you take it.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
If you want to do that, you can do that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I take I take it in Mike and Mandy's nature strip.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Do Mike and Mandy know that? No, we're calling Mike.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And it's really annoying, you know, when you guys got
a beautiful garden. Now I've seen it's absolutely studying. It's
annoying when you know it's my dog. She doesn't know
that she's doing that. You know that you're killing your
own garden.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I think the disagreement here is that I don't
think it is killing the garden. I think I'm a healthy,
thirty five year old human man, and I think those
plants would actually be rejuvenated from the nutrients that I'm delivering.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Maybe if I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Away out of vitamin supplements you take, they might get
a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Exactly, I have very healthy urine.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Look, and I feel my client, sorry, mimah, don't mind me.
My clientel like I feel like, well now they running
team together. My client's also bes that you also have
urinated in we in trees, which she has walked in
subsequently and had urine in her hair. Well, all I had
to put that out there.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I think that's a strong argument, there would masks, and
that's strong.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
No, but that's that's reckless of you to be walking
through trees, I would say. Anyway, the man who can
answer this question though, about the health of the garden
if it is hit with nutrient rich urine is Costa,
the host of guard in Australia seven thirties.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Costa. Hello, I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Say, I'm just yeah, okay, that's better.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, we're going to take you away outside.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
I thought I've got to be true to the story.
I better have a quick week and that way I'm
really in the space. Otherwise I could just be commenting
on just a conversation topic.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
So no, not a proble.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Got to try before your comment. I love that cost
you take your job very very seriously.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Now, firstly, kind of say mate, I've always been a
massive fan of your work.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm a massive fan of you, so it is lovely
to meet you.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
But give the pleasure if we can.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Cut down to brass tacks here.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Mate, you've heard the argument between me and my partner
I have where do you stand?
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Oh, look, do I need to speak? I think it's
a it's a given that you know nature. This is
you know, when nature calls. People say that, oh, when
nature calls. When nature calls, we need to deliver. We
don't want to put it into a system and take
it miles away. When if we have a garden, you know, soils,
(05:13):
so many of our soils are so nitrogen deficient, and
we have this wonderful resource, as you said, you know
that that can be you know, freely added to the garden.
But you know, everyone talks about the wonderful needs of
a lemon tree having a bit of a weez. So
I think it's more than more than a valuable addition
(05:36):
to every garden.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Mim.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Would you like to say anything to Costa?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Mim?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
You're absolutely killing me here, You're killing me. Can we
maybe make a rule then that he can do it
in the areas where I don't guarden, so he can
do it on his lawn because he maintains that, but
not in the places that I weed.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I hear you, because oh don't if he's if he's
you know, just just willy nearly spraying over the top
of the plants and things. There could be a certain
bouquet that comes with it. But if he peels the
malts back and puts it down straight on the soil,
puts the malts back over the top, he's injecting a
valuable nitrogen source and it won't offend you because it'll
(06:18):
go down into the soil and it won't be leaving
that that fragrance the.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Soil and then comes inside and touches me. Cost No.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, look, question for somebody else, is you talk about
the gardens.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
I don't care about anybody else.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
When he thinks about me, I touch myself, you know,
I don't even know if he washes his hands when
he comes out of the lou anyway, so you know
we're probably opening.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Up a serious can of worms there.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
But I think, you look, the best therapy is horticulture therapy.
I think the more time you let him spend in
the garden, even if it's having a week, he's going
to come back grounded.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
He does actually help you more lovely.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
More ween outside, gun washed, penis hands das, Virginity is
Custa and were outside.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Everyone, Long live the outdoor week. Costa your a Legend.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You can see Costa hosting garden Ning Australia.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Seven thirty fridays on the a VC Your a Legends.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Later.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
This story is awesome. It stopped the nation.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
This one, a man called Adam Fulkerson has effectively got
inside Australia's biggest pumpkin wow pumpkin fucker and and paddled
it down a river. Now this is very the very
You be careful, mate. I just said his name, you didn't.
Which is his name is Adam? His name is Adama.
(08:13):
I'm saying his name anyway. That guy who we're talking
about joins us up next to warm up.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Adam was his first name, Well, there's a lot. Yeah,
you can't do this to me. No one, John Howard, David.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
No one's doing it to He joined Adam Adam Adam
f joins us up next to talk about writing or
paddling a huge pumpkin down the river.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But before that, that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Other people have used vegetables in different ways, and this
is a warm up for Adam.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
We got Sharon here. Sharon, what did you use in
a different way?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Hi, guys.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
The best thing that I found was cippy, a badly
sumbur tomato in house, and you grew up the tomato
the bird area took Sharon.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Any sort of tomato or or a great any sort love.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
That trust, preferably a red tomato, all of them.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Red hack, very good.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's a hot hack. It yeah, Henry, Henry.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That is a hard hack.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
That's a it is literally and metaphorically Henry here because
the burn. Yeah, what did you use a vegetable for?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Hey, guys, I used the potato on the inside of
potato to wipe on my windows, off my car.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Window so it doesn't fog up.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
It doesn't fog up.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Wow, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. If
you take the innards of a potato and rub it
on your window. It doesn't fog.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Could I do that with my swimming goggles?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You can? As long as you film it. What's happening,
As long as you film it and I get to
fill me everyone's well, potato is very starchy. That's where
I'm going to start. And I remember to follow that.
I say, well, okay, let me just can I can?
I can? You let me just have a bit of
a dance here. So well, we think about it in
my swimming goggles slash diving mask, I dive you. I
(10:05):
put my saliva on the inside, has the same effect.
So I'm going to suggest there's an enzyme in the
potato which is also in the saliva.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I mean, I don't know if it's true, but it
seems good.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It did sound good. Sorry, is your saliva starch? Is
their natural starch in your sal saliva?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You're asking the wrong man.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really, Well, you've got half an exercise. Science.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Science doesn't really focus on saliva.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Let's go to We're going to bring a focus.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
In fact, you know a bit about salivity.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
What have you got?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
More potento, the starch and the potato acts as a barrier.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Between the glass and the air and can help with
that all too common issue of your windscreen fog.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Give me celebration music. That's nable now, but we didn't
get it down. Is their starch in saliva? Which is
you know? Because if I get that, you have a
look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Check that. We'll go to Tony tom.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, so in saliva there's an enzyme which hydrolyzes starch
into Probably should his undey tty pants. That's awesome, pans off,
that's an extraordinary moment. Don't left your hands up, you
do it, pops out. Let's go to Tony here, Tony,
(11:24):
what did you use a vegetable for?
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Look?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I was very drunk at this point, but I used
the vegetable. Sorry, used tato to hammer and a nail
into the wall.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Did it work?
Speaker 6 (11:36):
It did work?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Unreally well done?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Right up next to a guy who wrote a pumpkin
down the river?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Did your ex have a weird hobby?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Doesn't have to be the reason you broke up with them.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I just want to hear about like just weird activity
that an ex liked to do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We used to have a friend in Perth who her
partner was known as the beekeeper.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
She she attended bees.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
He attended bees, Sorry, he intended bed. Steve Steve, his
name was Steve the bee we. I didn't know him
anything else but Steve the Beekeeper. Never got his last name.
But that's because his hobby was so strange and it
wasn't do it professionally.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
No, he ain't. He just loved being around of eyes. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I found out months after like interacting with that guy
that he didn't love being called the beekeeper apparently?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did you also find out that he had a huge penis?
That was that was hot?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I didn't get that detail. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
The reason we are asking about your ex's weird habits
is because we got a great phone call from a
woman called Maria who told us this.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
I just finished hanging out with a guy like I've
been kind of seeing for a little while. And this
guy used to breathe at the dictionary before bed.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I was just like, okay to.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Learn words or out of enjoyment.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I beak loanword.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Surely it was a joke.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Nah, he was a dudes. I think it was just.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So he just like I'm hitting these tonight. Is that
what he's saying? I guess so tonight I'm covering. It's
just awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I just, I just I love the humans that exist
on this planet and the things that they get up to.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I just think that's the best part about life.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
She feel so over that guy at all, like he
was obviously such an idiot that he didn't have enough
words to no disagree.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
He's he's just a curious who wants to increase his vocabulary.
And the way to do it, kids is to just
tuck into the Dictionary every night before bit. I love
it now, Will I've been the weird ex and my
my girlfriend at the time, did let me know that?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
When did you realize that you've been a weird X
for a long time?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Straight to up a bit?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
You're a great topic at dinner parties with one of
your exits. My god, did he get up to some
weird ship well, these particular eggs.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
She was with me during the time in my life
when I was really into beach dips.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I loved to go down to the beach for a.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Dip, but I always have it. Recently, you've been dawn
dawn dipping nude dorn dips with the elderly.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Was it not not nude. But I dorn dip with
the elderly.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yes, but this is back in a time when I
didn't live anywhere near the ocean, but I love to
get in the beach. So what I would do is
I would drive to the ocean and I would fill
up pump water bottles full of sea water, four or
five of them, right, and then I'd chuck them in
the back of my car and I would drive home.
And then what my ex would wake up to is
me standing in the corner of the bedroom pumping myself.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
With the with the water bottle, like squirting the seawater
on my face. And this was my way of getting
an ocean dip in the morning. I did that for.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I told you, when did you realize you were the
weird ex? Sarah? Your X had a weird hobby? Talk
to us.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yes, my ex actually collected hair. So I was looking
through his Yes, I was in his room. I found
the draw in a drawer. There was all this bits
of hair, and I was what it meant. And then
for my birthday and for his birthday, he asked me
for a lock of my head.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And you guys are still happy, Sarah right out next
on thirty one six five.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What's the weird hobby that your ex had?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
If you were reading the dictionary before bed, so you
had to read the dictionary, what do you think would
be your letter of choice? Like, if you had to
hit one letter, what do you think the best Where
do the best words sit in the alphabet?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I know you love words, will your words?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'd probably just avoid letter well, process elimination, I'd avoid.
I'd avoid letters which are recurring suffixes or sorry, recurring prefixes.
You're losing a little bit, and give you worrying questions.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Give me a letter you can't even choose. You love
words so much. I'm moving on.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
We've also had a call about a woman whose ex
us to collect hair and asked for him from her
for his birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I was a weird X.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I used to squirt seawater on my face for it
for a morning dip. Errand weird has called the Errand
this was your ex who had a bit of a
weird hobby.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yes, it was the news.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
It was start at four o'clock. Then he watched the
four thirty session and the five o buck picked the box,
and then he switched over the ABC and.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Then if he didn't, he wouldn't do anything in the
house like look after the kids, but the rubbish out
this is anything until he had watched every possible episode
of the You mean to tell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Me that we've actually found the person in Australia who
watches tens first at five, because that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Really.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
Five o'clock every episode.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But then the book will get the guys make sure
we get in touch the first, you know, and we're
just getting kicked in the ars at six o'clock and
they were like, you know what we can't do. Six
is nine and seven cans seven Channel twos have that
for ages. Let's hit him with first of fve no
one time. But that's all we can go for.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
All we can hope for.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Is that somebody gets home early from work in terms
of the TV on in their hotel room because they've
got nothing else to do, and hopefully they'll watch our
news program.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Lana, Lana, I love this. This is a confession. You're
you're the weird act. You had a bit of a
weird hobby.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
That's right, I am the weird ex. I actually I
go ghost hunting. Sorry, I go ghost hunting.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
So okay, first step you believe in ghosts.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I do.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I believe there are spirits active.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, So where does a hunt take you? Lana?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What makes you think or I reckon there's a there's
a ghost in Wangaratda? Like, what makes you think that?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
Well?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
We have evidence from other people who have perhaps been
there for their own paranormal investigation. So me and my
team we head there.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
For your team.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Do you have a name for your.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
Teamula Paranormal Society look us up on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, lot, Lana, we're asking if we could have asked
anything then and you would have called up. You're not
like you like no basic, She's.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Right on topic, Lana, quickly, what's the what's the best
ghost interaction that you've had?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Because I'm going to be honest with you, Will's a
bit of a cynic.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
He is okay?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Paranormal? What do you called? Lana?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
What's that though?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
What are you called again?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
Mornington Peninsula Paranormal Society maybe MPPs.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
All right, Lana, the best ghost interaction?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Go right when to Mount Master Community and the Learning Center,
the big white building on the hill. I had my
first interaction there with a lady with a white dress
on in a wedding dress. She was about between the
ages of eighteen to twenty two, hair up in a bun,
and I dropped my notepad and she came up right
(18:54):
behind my boss, acting like she was almost going to
walk through my boss. Is true.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Everything she did walk through.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
What she was just getting married on the pininch.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
Well she she might have been, but she was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
We're just taking calls on what you used a vegetable
for aside from eating, obviously, and I'm going to be
honest with you, pretty disappointing responses. But the reason we
asked that question is because a man called Adam Fukuerson.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm going to throw to Adam. Right, we are we
saying your last name correctly.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
There, Adam, Yeah, I means you say it wrong. It
does sound like a swear word. So you've done well.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Thank you mate.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
We are live on radio, so we are really walking
the tight rope when we say funks.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Which is probably say you just call me Adam.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Then, yeah, Adam, I've actually cunning.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I've actually thought of quite an appropriate nickname for you.
I call you the pump King because well, you tell everyone,
pump King, what have you just done?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Well, there's a bit of a story to it to
a made of mine grew an enormous pumpkin. So I
actually went around a cert when it was growing and
put stuff on Facebook. Fair to say, this guy, Mark
Pecock put in a lot more work than I. So
he spent four months going on this thing. And it's
a bohemoth deep. We had to use a tractor with
forks to get it on a youth to take. He
took it up to the Sydney Page to show and
he won the blue ribbon up there. So it's four
(20:30):
and seven kilos, which is the size of a horse.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh my god, the size of a horse.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Wow. Well it's the weight of a horse. So it's
this big nugget.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So it's.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Imagine and it's bigger orange thing. It looks like Chuck
Norris's testicle, I think, so allegiedly. So I've heard what
I've done. When I saw this thing and said what
are you going to do when you finished? And he goes, well,
I don't know, And I asked him a good paddle
and he thought it was a great audea. So that
that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you you had the idea to so you obviously have.
Did you hollow the big boy out.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Oh yeah, yep. So he actually hollowed that out with
his dad because the seeds are fifty dollars each, so
it's sort of like a Melbourne Cup winning horse and
you've got a foal. So he's going to sell the
files off later and he doesn't trust me with that
amount of money, I guess. So, yeah, he did all
the hard work and all he would scribble Cinderella on
the side of it, hopped in and paddle it down
the river.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wow, wow wow, slide down, hopped in and cuddled it
down the river. My lord?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So which which whereabouts in particular? Were you Adam?
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Yeah, so we're in Tumid in New South walest We're
right at the bottom of the snowy hydro scheme. It's
our river Barregon is one of the most beautiful rivers
in Australia. It's very clear. But with that it comes
it's very fast and very cold. So paddle it for
a mile down that river, I mean, and how was
she in?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
It?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Very slimy, so it's very it's not a pleasant feeling
at all, but yeah, it didn't didn't handle it all well.
It's like a very heavy fat in Hube. The sort
of paddle down the river, but very stable and did
you stay dry like fairly? I had all the goose
it's his slimy stuff on the inside out of a marrow.
(22:10):
So yeah, it was pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This has captured the nation, mate, this is making national news.
I mean, you're on our radio show right now because
the talk. What were people's reactions like though when they
saw you on the side of the river there, when
you were floating down inside of humongous pumpkin.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Well, I put a post up on Friday because my
wife said you probably should put it on face. I
would have really basic like tomorrow, I'm going to paddle
a bit. The first person a paddle of pumpkin in
the chim River at eleven o'clock. That was all I put.
We had more lights on that than I have friends,
so I knew something had gone wrong, but we we
rocked on down to the river in the first vehicle
I saw was an emulan, so I thought that had
(22:45):
really gone wrong. Mark reckons there about a thousand people there,
which is incredible in it down with only six thousand.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
All right, So this is this is the maiden voyage
of this humongous pumpkin, I mean, Adam slash pump king.
I'm keen to really test this thing out. Do you
still have the hollowed at pumpkin in your position?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Well kind of so, because it's so big where we
pulled up, we had no way of moving it, so
you couldn't physically lift it because it's so heavy. So
the end for for Cinderella was yeah, we cut it
up with an axe and put it in a trailer
and now it's feeding some cattle out at moreen Law's farm.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
That's a shame.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Is there any chance you make the peacock could grow
another humongous pumpkin? Because I wouldn't mind seeing how this
thing goes on the open seas.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Good lucky, make sure you get plenty of life in
sureance policies. He's planning to grow on next year. He's
only for six hundred kilo, isn't it Because he's a maniac,
So yeah, he's planning to do It's.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Like buying a horse. Like do we need to sort of,
you know, put a dibsy in early on.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
That or.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
After this has happened, you probably do, Yeah, madam.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I hope to see you maybe inside another vegetable as well.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
M V vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Hey, that's right, one of us gets vulnerable and events day.
It's very important, I think for people to be vulnerable
for lots of reasons, but most importantly, I think because it's.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Good for you to do that, good for your growth,
good for you people, good for the.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
People around you, and in this day and age, given
the mental health crisis, I just think it's arguably the
most healthy thing you can do in your whole life.
Not joking, I really do think that I reckon in
terms of your actual happiness. If you can be vulnerable
around people, you're going to be a lot happier.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Never as hard or as as you think it's going
to be.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yes, think about the conversation you don't want to have
with either your best friend or your partner. Just think
about it now and you're thinking, oh my god, that'll
be horrific. It's never as bad as you think.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, that's true, unless you're doing it on national radio.
Now Woods, Yes, a question for you, And because this
is the question I'm trying to answer, Why do you
start Why have I started caring about getting old?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Would it be because you are starting to see like
the physical signs of.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Like, okay, very interesting. I think that I think that
starts to answer it, but I don't think it gets
to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So I started losing my hair very early on. We
joked about the.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Fact that I was four or five weeks hanging on
in Kingdom when it's set in, and I thought, and
I think that that made me a lot better at
getting old, because I did start losing my hair as
I shaved my head early, like the impacts it because
I felt like I already kind of dealt with that demon.
But every now and then it kind of jumps up
(26:09):
at me. And I'm thirty four, by the way, but
every now and then it jumps up at me and
I get scared again. And I was reminded of that
when I saw Hugh Grant at the at the Oscars
with the oscars, Remember he need did that thing, and
he actually referenced the fact that his face looked like
a scrotum. He said that. I remember, yeah, because he
(26:29):
was standing next to the other chick from four when
he's interfering and he's like, this is what a good
moisturizer looks like. She looks amazing. My face looks like
a scrotum, yes, And all of a sudden I started
getting work because I was like, shit, I don't use moisturizer.
I don't want to have a scrot him face. And
then it hit me again. I was like, oh my god,
there I am again scared about getting old. And then
today there was this wombat in the news who got
(26:51):
traded with the Japanese, got traded to Japan when he
was very young. He's thirty four years old now, by
the way, oldest one bat in the world. And our
team wrote this email to me at the start of
the day saying he's thirty four the one bat. We
think that's middle aged. Oh, and I was like, well
shit that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, hang on, yas I'm older than well, that's not
middle aged. Middle is fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, well so I think that changes as you get older.
I think that's the track. So anyway, so then it
hit me again. So I'm gonna ask you again, why
why do you think you care? Why do you why
do you like do you care? I'm starting to care.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I start having an awareness of the fact that I'm
not going to be here forever, and I think the
old I think when I was younger, it's just I
was that invincibility about you, whereas I'm thirty five now
and you just start doing the math in your head where.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's like, oh, I could be halfway there.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So it's a death thing for you, Well you just have.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
For me, it's like a far more certain view of
like I will one day not be here, and that
day is coming quicker than I thought.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, so it's a death your that's a much deeper
reason than mine, I think, I think, and I'm generalize
this a little bit here. Maybe other thing is I
think the reason that I care about getting old is
because I care about my relevancy to other people. I
think so because if I think about it, the like
(28:14):
when Hugh Grant did that thing and he was like,
look how old I am. Subconsciously I was immediately like,
he's over the hill.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh don't you think you get more respect? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
No, and I and I thought about this more because
you might get you get what I What I hate
more than anything is people patronizing me or caring too
much about me.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
He'd be great in a retirement home.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Well, this is funny you mentioned that because Harry who
who's our geezer from our World's worst tech support lovely guy.
He told me that, like, he walks into a shopping
center now he's what eighty eighty five eighty five. He
says that he walks into a shopping center now with
his wife, and people literally evaporate in front of you.
They just know you're so irrelevant to me. I don't
(28:57):
want to help you. And I'm worried about the fact
that as I get older and this is this is
a very hard thing to care about, but I will
become less relevant, which means people will care less about me.
And I think it's funny you and I working in
the media. The only thing that saved me about from
panicking about this earlier is because we walk in an
audible medium.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
True, No, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Very quite seriously, like how I look my aging, my
physical aging doesn't matter to.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
People as much because it doesn't my career doesn't rely
on it. Socials pop off though sometimes.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean if they see you as soon as the
camera flips to me, I mean they leave in droves.
We've seen the numbers now. But I think what I
think is really interesting about this and potentially tragic, is
I feel like that's why there's so much more focus
for women on anti aging and stuff is because often
their relevancy is tied to how they look traditionally, which
(29:55):
is tragic. And I think the other proof of this
is like if you're if you're relevancy is tied to
how you look, right, and if that's what's keeping you cool,
and that's what's keeping you relevant, how you look, hence
you get scared of aging. That's why when you look
at anyone who's becomes a writer or a producer or
a director, they look washed up as hell because they
(30:16):
don't care about aging anymore. Because their relevancy doesn't actually
rely on how they look anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's not their currency.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
It's their currency is what they're writing or what they're
exactly opposed to.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They're allowed to deteriorate. And because people still have something
to respect them for.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Imagine how it would be for a model.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I know, I started thinking about your whole life has
been you know, it's obviously.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I shed a tear for Gasel Bunching when I was
writing this.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think the bunch is doing okay.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
So anyway to close this off because I need to
just finalize this. Yeah, I'm worried that I'm losing relevancy,
and I know that the other end of that spectrum
is becoming a hack, which is you're old, You're over
the hill, washed up, you keep pushing it. I'm DJing
in town on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Did you say in town?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah? I think it's just lolls in the studio.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
That's my favorite thing about Australian radio stations. You guys
always play some candors and it makes you feel like, oh,
I'm so special?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Is not? I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I used to look at radio and it was more so. Yeah,
just did hear?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Did silence? Welcome to the studio?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Are you doing that thing? My parents do? And I
talk about how much like a lolly is and they're like,
when I did it? We have sound effects?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Now there was an airhorn I brought in. I bring
my own.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
How's this show going?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh, it's been so fun. It's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
Really.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
We're sort of in the final week now, and usually
at this point you sort of regret all of your
life decisions that lead you here and you go, why
did I choose this career path? But that hasn't hit
me yet. Just so many shows, like I've done so
many that you just kind of you get in a
loop and you you hyper analyze it. But it's been
really fun this time.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
That's good to relate.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I heard about the the there was an accident in
an evacuation the other night.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Oh yes, you say that. It wasn't okay, you made
it sound so much worse, but it was.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
The thing is commercial radio, that's my job.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Don't you play this down?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
This down us.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So essentially there was a fire evacuation, but it was
They knew it was a false alarm because someone had
come and like fixed the smoke alarms that day, so
they're like, okay, it's they're fiddled with it. But because
my show is called Attack of the Melanie brace Well,
it was. The show was about to start and over
the speakers it goes, this is an evacuation, please leave
the building, and the crowd were like laughing, Ah, this
(32:51):
is this is a pretty funny bet.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
This is a funny way to start a show.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
And if it was in these seas and I had
to literally come out and be like, no, that's not
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
We need to we need I thought that.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Was I would have definitely thought that was a joke though,
because what were you wearing.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
I was wearing a suit with flames on it. I
would double like this, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But were they like, okay, actual fire, you come out
in a fire suit for another five so I sort
of you know, heard it out them, get them going,
like genuinely we.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Need to leave. And it was just like the awkwardest
fifteen minutes standing on the street, stood out there. It's
not like I had my own separate fire escape, like.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I just we all went out together.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
I was like this, should I just still do the show?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
On the way out, like I don't know if we're
going to do the Like when you're out there, were
you like because you're like, this is my crowd tonight,
Like you know, were you doing gear or were you.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Like no, damn it, you're not supposed to smoke. A
pack of duries backstage used to me like that, but me,
you know, you can't really kick that up for fifteen
minutes when they're like, you know, anyway, you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Use any material from your shower to see that.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Yes, And there were three fire trucks as well, about
like like three of them.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
I was like, this is definitely overcurl but and then
if you go so you did go back into this.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yes, and people had to leave their drinks, so they
had to leave their drinks on the steerwell, and remember
which drink was there. So people were just grabbing like
a random, random mellow from the staircase on the way,
and it really exactly, I mean, that's my crowd. And
people would have they actually got a sick and go
(34:40):
at finding a good seat. I think so people would
have everyone was seated. I think some people would have gone, oh,
I was on the edge. Okay, all right, we can
finise this. If we let twenty people in in front,
then maybe we'll get roasy and yeah, so some people
were like, I got way better seat the second time round.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I got three free mills.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Shotter. Sorry, this is like a fascinating social experiment.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I think it really.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
I was at nice breaker for the crowd, because I
feel like sometimes in a comedy show you need the
crowd feels like they need to be a dressed in
some way to be like can she see us?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
But I'll be like, wow, we were.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Just on the street together for about fifteen minutes, so
it feels like that was a bonding exercise for us all.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
You should do it every time.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
It feels like now, yeah, if it happens again, it's suspicious.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
We got more mail brace right next to on will
and what you see, only got a few shows to
go but attack the Melie brace wells uh oh Melanie
brace Well.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Wow, my god, she's multiplying.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Live Nation.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
And I don't ask you about your comedy show. It
is about a real life crime.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
It is. This is a true crime comedy show only
about the guy who stole my ear pods, and the
show is about trying to track him down because when
you lose an Apple device, you can see their location
at all times. So yeah, so I had been tracking
his basically his entire existence, and the show is me
(36:16):
building up the courage to eventually approach this man and
do I claim them back?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Do I meet him? What happens? You know that that's
the hook. Usually it's like, I don't usually have a hook.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Like this for a show about my crazy life. So
it's really refreshing to actually have something to sell the
show with.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I hope this isn't giving away too much and I
don't want to give away the show, But how how
long were you tracking him before?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
If there was a confrontation a long time.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
So I lost them in May last year, and you know,
and then the beld up has just been a long
time because again, you.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Don't really want a guy just the or death city.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
That I just thought.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I looked at his daily routine as well.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
I thought, he's doing those six am gym classes every morning,
all this stuff that I painted a picture of this guy.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
And is it a man? We don't know y location wise?
What was the biggest shock you got?
Speaker 6 (37:25):
Like hmm, yeah, probably outside the mountain in prison. That really.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
That really threw me.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
I was kind of like, that's what's scared. That's why
it took so long for me to want to do
anything about it, because I thought it.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Could be scared.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
He could be visiting his mates.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
You know. Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
It was wild.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I would just do it.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I would just be at lunch being like watching what
should I quite quite an unhealthy amount. I would check
and I would screenshot a check and screenshot, like I
basically had sort of like red string around my house,
just you know, painting a picture of this man's entire
life before building up.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The current and the oh I did a son more questions, No, no, no, no,
I think you've got to go and see the show.
We're giving away way too much. Yeah, but that is
a great hook. Yeah, exactly all the show.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Yeah, such end listeners got.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Him, got him? They come and it's nothing to do
with us at all.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
It's like, doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I saw the tickets.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
You're running on. She is at the Melburne Comedy Festival,

Yeah, if you just look and you'll find my amp.
