up when she doesn't breathe. Brush your teeth. You haven't
been brushing teeth. We're on the plane the other day.
I'm not kidding. It was absolutely horrendous.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
There's a certain player, there's a certain plane I play with,
who had the worst body tenure I've ever seen. It
was horrendous. We're not naming names. I think you won't
know who it is. And we found out it was
because he actually what he was doing was he'd he
lived by himself, and what he did was he thought
the dryer was the washer. For about three weeks, he

(01:54):
got a new he got a new dry and he
thought it was one of those ones that do both. Yeah,
So he was raining all day and then what he
was doing was putting his dirty, stinky training clothes wet
in summer from the humidity straight into the dryer and
then re reusing those clothes.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Such a stinky boy.

Whenever there was a period, remember Jack, like there was
a a year long period where Dad was dabbing every
week and he was dabbing like he'd get excited. And
then Dad and you were dabbing on your show and
stuff like on Fox League which airs every Sunday and
Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Waltz Vienna Viennese waltz. Perhaps, sorry the vnes.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
I heard something interesting the other day, boys, that you
had never heard of back in the day when you
were traditional dance then, and Pop mentioned it is when
you do a traditional dance, a man could go up
and tap the man on the shoulder and cut in.
So I could be dancing with Trish and someone comes
up and taps me on the shoulder and then he
steps in the study.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But what if I don't want to dance with him?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, that's up to your own cour You see that.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
You see that in those old in those old movies,
you do see a bit of that.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It was English.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, And you know what I learned the other day
as well, because I went down and stayed in this jail,
this abandoned haunted jail, which you're going to get to
after we talk about Jack Shnanigan's from his birthday party.
But the lady there who is running the jail, she
runs the ghost tour you told me back in the
eighteen hundred, if you were a woman and your husband
left you, they would admit you into the jail yese,

(09:07):
not that you were locked in there, but like they
would basically house you there, but you couldn't leave. Yeah,
which was like it was which bag? And I said,
well then technically there, I said, technically they're an inmate then,
and she's like, no, they weren't inmates because like they
hadn't done anything wrong. And I said, well they couldn't
leave because no, they couldn't leave until like they found
something else for them to being taken care of.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
It was known as some people call it history. I
call it the good old days.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
People were taking care of Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Sure, what was the girl? What was the lady that
was taking you on the tour? Because I saw your
if you saw Cooper's Instagram page the night he had
to stay in there, he put fifty cents what's the
song p.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Imp p Imp?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
And yeah, you had the older woman that was guiding
around saying welcome to my crib MCV.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah her, Yeah, I'm trying to remember a name. I
think her name was Sonya, but like, imagine who you
think a lady who you think would be running a
ghost tour at an ex mental slash jail asylin.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I have a picture in my head in raw.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Rat Country, Victoria. Imagine what she looked like and then
double it. That's what this is? What this woman like?
She was just like I said to her, I said,
you were the perfect person to be running this prison,
and she was like thank you, Like she had a little.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Now, I don't know if she thought it, Like she
had a walking like.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
A before before Jesus, I'm visiting the Governess of the Chase.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Very similar but very very scary.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Holy Sh'S the ghost.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh my gosh, Cooper, stop swearing. She's scary.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
She was like the most lovely lady though she was
the best, but she had scary but like she was
walking around like she had this one walking stick and
like she was really heavily leaning on it, Like she
had like that little.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
She's wearing like a medieval garb, the way she's got
a hair, the way she's got a hair long, and
she's got like on all of her fingers she's got
gold rings.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah that's yeah. They with these sort of psychic slash
medium slash types like the ghost. They all have heavily jeweled.
They've got so much jewelry on, almost to the point
where like they couldn't walk into the room without all
their jewelry clanging together.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
And what strikes me with her is her particularly light
but bright eyes.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Right, someone's taking a very light light light some demented.
It's very I imagine would have been very, very different
to the time the Grill team we went into Long
Bay Jail to get a bit of a tour around,
and one of our producers slept with one of the screws,
the people who are one of the guards.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh really yeah, a female female guard.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
She was one of the showers around. Next minute they're off.
And after she knocked off, didn't take it to one
of the cells all the shower room. Yeah, because there's
enough action going there anyway, I need.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
To know that, right, sort of sort of we are
going to do that. I'm going to make everyone do it.
I think that's a fun idea. Who cares no, no, no, no,
the dance at start rehearsing.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
We'll do it. Vote.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
It is not a democracy, Mathew, Well, exactly it's not.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
And as I just brought up those rules from the
eighteen hundreds. We're going to we're going to bring that
back into this household.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Careful, Trish, if I walk out the door, you're going
to the pokey.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, in the clink, you go to jailft Oh Jesus,
that reference went straight over your ma.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
She's got a goldfish.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
The goldfish has the shortest memory.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Actually, yeah, I am a goldfish.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Ten second memory. Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
It is amazing?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
What's amazing? I got you Jack, Thank you, Donny.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
I was so good that it actually didn't go over
my head, which is amazing.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Can we talk about Jack's birthday?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah? What?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
What? What a fantastic day, What a fantastic crew. And
I'm about to say something that you will very really hear.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
How Maggot was Nan Maggot and.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Gail John's take a bow and.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
She can be a bit of a pest when she's
mag punishing she and don't iry.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Pop wasn't too far behind her as well, but Pop
got formed the Yeah he's got callous liver. But Gail
was very, very amazing. And you know what, I didn't
see him for ages. I kind of like did my
own thing, and then when I saw him maybe three
hours later, I was like, holy smokes, she was so blind.
She was leading the dance floor. She was the old
she would have been the oldest in the room.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
By changed the music. So now we're on a bit
of a root. Here she goes. I was just talking
to all Jack's friends and they demanded that we played
Bob Seger's all time rock and Roll. I said, Mum,
I don't think any of Jack's friends will know who
Bob's because you yeah, they do, and they also want

(14:11):
to hear Chris Criss me and Bobby McGee.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, she sent some of my friends with that.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Mom, Mum, with all due respect, none of those kids
out there, none of those twenty somethings, will know who
those two artists are.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I can see where you get it from now, like
music domination, the mike hogging. Oh yeah, do you know
what I mean? Because you're you're bad for that, where
like you also.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Did we let us sing, You're usually that one cover.
You're the belligerent bloke that just that demands his music
play at a party of fifty people.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, remember that time back at our friend Kath's house
where there was a house party going on at casts
and dad Dad was on mute or dad was having
Remember you nearly fought that girl, not physically, but you
got another argument with her friend because she was trying
to change the music.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Now, in fairness, everyone was having an argum with that
girl that night.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, someone's X.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh god, remember what.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
A piece of work she was?

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Can we talk? Can we talk about pop for a second, Yeah,
we sure can.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, Gazz loves spoken about Let's do it.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, So Gaz basically it was ever his day. So
Gaz went on a roll and was like a cock
and a walk. He was trying to get us all
to back his tips in and by race two or three,
we've all decided, yeah, we'll just put some money on it.
I personally turned twenty five dollars into one hundred and
thirty dollars into I think it was about five hundred

(15:40):
and eighty dollars. One of the boys loaded up right
and by the end of the night he's come up
to Gaz kept it to himself and told Gary he
turned twenty five dollars with Gary's tips into five grand.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
He's going the long shots places on long shots. Everything.
Gaz was literally.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Had the hot hot and what I laugh about Daddy
is right, because Dad's quite cynical. Like Dad, if anybody
else gives you a tip, you won't back it, like
you've got your own methods. And everybody else was. Everybody
else was winning around you because they were all following Gazz,
and it was almost like out of spite, you didn't
you just you wouldn't take any of his tips. I

(16:18):
was just watching you burning. I remember Gaz came up
the stairs at one stage at the Colaroi after his
thing had won, and he went down to watch it,
and then he must have known everybody upstairs and backed
it and he walked up. Because he's quite old, it
take him while he get up the stairs these days.
So when he come up, it was probably like three
minutes past the race, and we saw him waddle in
and everybody and Jack goes here, he is here, he is.

(16:39):
Everyone turned around and clapped him in and Gaz was
just like raised his fist in the air.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Because he's gadg.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, he did clean up. He got the boys a
lot of cash, though I forgot himself a lot. I
didn't back a single one day because everything he said,
I there's no way, Yeah, I just I was thinking to.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
To What sapped my trust in him Jack was the
fact that at the start of the day I had
to go down and show him how to use the
tab machine because you know, he hasn't got a tab
app or anything like that, or a sports bit account,
and so we had to win. We you know, I said,
you guys made they've got a thing where I just
put the thing of paper in. I said, no, gas,
you've actually got I don't know how to working machine.

(17:22):
It was a gazert, I'm going to show you how
to do it. Mate. We stood there and he just
threw the honestly felt like twenty minutes ago. So if
I do that, no mate, not just hold hit that?
Then hit that? Hit that? All right? Okay, sorry, what do.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I How does he? How does he there?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
He still a lot of the old school ones where
you know, you get there and you put it in
the machine.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
We used to like, yeah, color the sheet with the
pants on the put in there.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yes, yeah, the old school because a lot of the
older exactly.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah them, because that's similar like how you do Keino,
right like that when I've played Tino, you tick the
boxes and your stuff and then you put him in that.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Spot on yeah, that's and yeah, that was way back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
How old is How old is gaz?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
You know why? You know why they changed it coops
is because what they used to do is used to
you could put on about twenty bets, whether you put
fifty bets on it once match as fixed. You could
put into the machine and what would happen. They would
process one by one. But what people were doing they
were having a massive bet, like let's say five hundred
dollars on the bottom ticket that would process first as

(18:28):
the race was about to jump. And if we just
process and process and process, and that one's already that
one's already been processed, and you've gotta get the money.
But they'd watch while the others have been protests and
people would run out of the tab and not pay,
you know what I mean, right, yea, they changed the
whole system so that couldn't happen. And of course they
film now and things like that.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, yeah, I imagine they were being robbed, like not robbed,
but back in the day there would have been quite.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
A little bit. Later we've got a bit of a
theme about robbery. Today we'll get some great stories about robbery,
but at Jack's part. Jack, let's talk about the crew,
some of the crew. The crew was there, all your
mates were there, all your your great mates, and you
had Zach Hoski of course. Well I didn't know till
the next day someone Jesus zach Hosky, nice kid shows

(19:14):
you how blind it was was Zach here.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
He showed up quite late. Yeah, the everest all day?
Yeah yeah, ages, Yeah, he was there. He was out
of action for a while. He didn't get into what
eight pm and n nine pm, something like that.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
My favorite was Curtis dark We spun some yarns about
Darky before on Jack's on the potty. He used to
live with Jack, his cousins to Boyd Cordner. Now he's
from old Bar. Jack played in his golf day the
other day up there, and my favorite part of the
night was was just talking about this in one of
my mates. He's standing in the bar in their kitchen
with Phil Bailey and him and Bales are talking, uh,

(19:52):
and he knocked over a class of red wine and
it smashed and went all over Tricia's kitchen rug and
he wigged out so bad. He grabbed a whole whole
bucket of bi carb soda through the whole thing on
the carpet, Like the whole thing was just covered in
white bike carbs soda. And then he waked out so
bad because he was out the thing trying to scrub

(20:13):
it and get it off that he just bought a
whole new rug.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I just wish he'd told me, because I really don't
care about that rugg.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
He's a gentleman.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
I know it's arriving today apparently.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
But the thing is, like the next day, it took
me a lot to actually clean up the mess that
they'd made with all the bike carb everywhere.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Really impressed me is the fact that he knows how
to play to his fetish, his foot fetish. He was
telling all the girls that were here that he was
a podietarist. He was playing with their feet and they
were just so impressed. They had no idea that he
was getting off.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
The girls come up to me and we're going, may
you've made dark. He's such a great fellow. He's told
me that my slides aren't good for me either. He's
I didn't know he's a podiatrist. I went what.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
He's That's such a creepy thing to find out afterwards,
that like the guy.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
He works for a podetress though, and he's almost an architect. Yeah,
he's working at a PO dietary clinic. He told me
that earlier on the day.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Sometimes I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
He does certain taking photos of your feet.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Certainly doesn't.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, okay, let's have a bet he wouldn't lie to
my face.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
He literally lied about He lies to everyone.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
He's not a P dietress, but he works at a
P dietary clinic clinic, I don't know. And he does
a lot of the assessments and things that makes.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
God.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
He told me, he told everyone was he really doing
architecture at university?

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Why do you Why do you think he told that
to everyone all the other women as well, because he
wanted did you show him your feet?

Speaker 4 (21:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
And he didn't even play with them. I wish he
would have actually sucking them. Someone who's a massage and there.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Matt Kroger was there, Jack beautiful. One word sums up
Matt Croger, gentleman. What a wonderful person and gentleman. And
the other guy was here, the cowboy Scott, who possibly
is in the running for Men of the Match. He
was grateful drinking.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
He had his golf day as well for his players,
his golf brand the day before, so he was going
to stay at ours. Got a golf brand, yeah, Valentine
Holmes and Chad Townsend. What's it called players players, it's
got Yeah, they've got like merchant. Yeah, don't don't buy it.
Everyone don't buy the manufacturer a.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Child's Chad towns End. Yeah, it's a third world country.
They chose the kids working there for about three cents.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yea joking, of course, it was just shaking. But yeah,
he was going to stay, didn't ended up sleeping at
Valentine's house and then he had to get an uber
over from Cronulla, which is for people that don't an
hour a half hour and a half. And when he
rocked up he was a bit scratchy, but he came
off to a flying start. He's got so much and

(22:54):
he's got so much energy drinking.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
But you know what though, and then I woke up
in the morning expecting to see there was croaks on
with the lounge downstairs, darky laying on the floor downstairs,
and I don't know why while there is another lounge
available down there. Then I thought, oh, I was expecting
drinking to be in bed with you.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Coop was supposed to be and then and then Jack.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Was in there and I heard drink. He told me
that you were nude in there. Jack.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
I was sleeping, but.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
They put you in bed with Gemma, your girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, I don't remember. I don't know to go play
Franko Cooper and Jesus bed's comfy you because he's got
a really comfortable he does. I've just gone and screw it.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
I got to say fair play to your blake's Jack
and particularly drinking. He said a big night. The night before,
I remember finding myself out again, not doing what dark
he was doing. Wasn't playing with the girl's feet, but
I was dancing with girls like a rafo. One of
your great mates is girlfriend, who's a lovely girl, chatting
them all out there, pressing them with my fun facts,

(23:53):
dancing away. And I looked and I went two am,
and my enthusiasm just drained completely out of me. And
then when I went to bed, I thought I got more.
Had just go make these blokes mate. Went to do
you w r cel at like three am in the morning,
didn't get in, didn't get wait. Another one drink he

(24:14):
gets the shits when I talk about him not getting
into place as well. It happened again drinking.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
The funniest part was he was like, okay, let's just
you know, he was pretty casual. He's like, let's get in,
let's get in. And then we get there and the
guy's like, well we're shutting ten minutes, so like, do
you want to be any for ten minutes or should
you just go home? And we all just went now,
let's just good time.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, when drinking drink, he said he tried to come
in my room because, like we planned, he was going
to sleep there. Saw Jack in their nude, went to
h went and slept on the couch outside my room,
which is why DARKI slept on the floor. But then
he said, in the middle of the night, I don't
know what it was, but I found myself crawling along
the floor. And then when he woke up in this
potty shut and he had the big red curtain that

(24:53):
we've got on the ground with him as a blanket.
That was drinking.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
He said, that studio floor not very comfortable.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I said, I said, why did you go? Like why
did you do that? And he goes, I have no idea,
I said, I have no idea, but I had to
get up early because I had to go straight to
a flight to get the Melbourne for this ghost tour
jail thing. So I didn't see anyone because how long
was the draw? Well an hour uber to the airport,
which I vomited in my uber. Oh I really thought

(25:21):
I was going to get you know, like when you
hungover and you just start to think, like the worst.
I thought I had alcohol poison your saying because I
start because I don't really vomit or anything.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's a lie. I've seen you vomit a number of.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Times on a night out. Yes, yeah, not the next day.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Oh no, No, you did Jack's twenty first we went
for lunch at Hugo's and you'd had a big night.
We're out the front waiting for an uber or a
taxi and you vomited over the fence.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well that was a long time ago. That's I would
have been eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, well you did it.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Sometimes you don't know how much you had to drink,
so you wait the next day, I said, I said
the trush. I don't think I'm going to be able
to bed today. I'm just shot to pieces and then
you had to get out.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
To yeah over there spewed. And then when I'm on
the flight all the way to Melbourne and then it
was a three and a half hour drive to arrow
rat which is like country Victoria.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
I couldn't think of anything worse.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I was sitting there and I'm about to it was
going to be a long night, like the ghost tour
didn't start till eight pm. And I've got intern Pete,
who's like one of the producers on the radio show
and just one of Look, I don't mind. Pete is God,
he is. He could possibly one of the most annoying boats,

(26:41):
but he puts no effort into being annoying. And you know,
it was so annoying. He's so heavy on the break,
you know, like when you're driving with someone and I'm
trying to sleep, my feet up on the dash, like
I'm just trying to get a few hours sleep leading
this ghost tour and we're on the highway, so there's
no real need to break. But it was like the
moment he ticked over the speed limit, he'd break really heavily,
and my whole body would jeltantly wake me up, and

(27:02):
he goes sorry, sorry, sorry mate, Sorry mate, And he
had the volume of the radio.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
So high as he heard of cruise control.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, I don't think he knows how to use it.
It was one of the worst experiences. And then I
get to this ghost tour and they're talking about spirits
and things, which is not what you want to listen
to when you're like hungover, like I had enough of
him the night before. And then you know, it was
really good because I'm known to get quite short, like
tempo wise when I'm hungover or just really just really impatient,

(27:31):
like bullshit in general, or just in life generally. Yeah,
but I'm sitting there and they start talking about like
getting a Ouiji board out and channeling spirits, and it's
like it's like midnight at this stage, and I'm sitting.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
There with you thinking of anyone you could bring up.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I just couldn't care less, like at this stage, I
would have rather become one of the spirits and died
than they'd be there. And I said, you know, guys,
I'm going to go to bed, and they were like,
oh no, like like they was. Everyone was sel offended
that I wanted to go to and I was like no,
because we're sleeping in the jail and I'm like, no,
I'm going to go to bed and they're like, oh well,
wait yup if like something happens, and I'm like sweet,

(28:07):
so whatever, and I'm sleeping and then like an hour later,
someone comes up to me. I think it was pe
comes out media Cooper, something's happening, come out, and I
just said, piss off, Pete.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
What se we in?

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
We we went into I didn't end up sleeping in
there because it was like kind of creepy because I
slept like in their recreational area where the used to
do arts and craft.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
That's hardow you are.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
The place, like Chopper read obviously he stayed there for
two weeks back two weeks because he said everybody in
he was too mental and he requested to get transferred
to a different prison because it was like it started
as a jail and then it turned into like a
jail for the criminally insane. So it was like people
that have done something wrong who were also insane would
category nah no, no, like some of the yarns that

(28:56):
were getting around there, like these people were different beats,
like they were like had Ropper issues, like they were
doing they're not just killing people in a gangster session,
you know what I mean? Like Chopper was.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
It was wild. Chopping came up to me one day
and he goes, yeah numerous times, came out gas a
many They told me you're that fucking red drag you
know there? You know? Yeah, Chopping, I guess I like him.
He has I shared cells very similar Red Dragon.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Really yeah, imagine swearing. I imagine you would have been
like he would have probably seen a lot of himself
in the Red Reagon.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Well, they weren't dissimilar in appearance.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
When he had him on the radio, I want I
told you by we were actually interviewing myself, MG. Guss
and Paigey and he put the ear phones on and
literally he was going, boys, I don't think my microphone's working.
This thing on by swear, we've go, Chopper, it's on, boys,
you give me a bad one. It's not working. The

(29:54):
guts to tell him, Chopper, you don't have any years.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
So he didn't have any ears because had them and
then he got out of his jail cell by chopping
them off because he couldn't get the ears through the
the what do you.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Call bout.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Raises his own ears.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
What about the rest of his body?

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Have you seen.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't think I've seen it enough.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
It's one of the best movies ever.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
It is one of the greates Australian movies. Chopper and
talking about lunatics going forward, a little bit of a
tease people coming up soon on backstage, we are going
to have an addition of Gary and Gail John's telling
all their stories about Andrew and I and Kate growing
up and great Garay John's story. It almost well Jack

(30:41):
was getting the ships because towards the end there, I'm
going to say, Dad told some really heavy stories about
his times and coal mines, and I'm watching and I'm
thinking Dad, and Gazz is sort of starting to tear
up and cry. And I looked a Michel and.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Jack's Jack's angry the one time you see Gazz like, well,
gays can quit quite emotional, but but Jesus is getting
quite emotional. I look at and Jack and where I
sit in the like when we do the interview potties.
Jack can make direct eye contact with me, so like
in terms of if he has to communicate something, and
Jack just kept looking at me, going wrap it, wrap it,

(31:16):
And that was like twenty minutes later, we still hadn't
wrapped it because he was just short. He wanted to
get out and see his mate.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
The story that he told when you had the near
death experience, which is that was one when he was crying.
That was really heavy. And then we gave right our
gas and Jack had been given me the stink guy,
so wrap him up. Good on your gas, well mate,
dad mum, that was fantastic. On a second, I've got one.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
More, no, and I just wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
And then Jack when Dave went over his shoulder and
he goes Jack, Jack, you reckon, we can tell one
more and Jack just like didn't say anything. He goes,
go on, gas, tell one more, don't worry about it. Oh,
it was very very funny.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Can I just say my favorite story of the week
is the robbery at the Louver, Like there's something about
someone stealing cred jewels that is just deliciously old school.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Whose crown jewels? The French crown?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
It was French crown. So I did a bit to
stay about how this happened. Do you tell me if
this is suspicious or not? So, as I said, rob
priceless crown jewels. Now they arrived at nine point thirty eight,
just after the louver opened. They put a boat down
the same river and got out at the back of

(32:25):
the louver, put a ladder up right out and cut through,
you know, like industrial tools, cut through, jumped in, went
in through the loof to a room where there were
two security guards. Threatened the security guards with the weapons
and they just took off and they went in there.
They stole all the Crown jewels and we're gone by
nine point thirty four. When in at nine point thirty

(32:45):
nine thirty four, no CCTV in that particular room. Oh really,
do you tell me that suss.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Or not as an inside job being done? I think
for sure.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well that's it's very trying to figure.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Out these days. Like surely this day and age twenty
twenty five, you can't rob it without having a bit
of inside.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Hell yeah, exactly, can I ask? So that room that
they entered into with the two security guards, was that
an exhibition room? Like could you go in there and
have a look at the Crown jewels? There was that
a back room.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
It's back but maybe you can go in there. Okay,
So the loof they only opened minutes earlier, So it must.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Have been right at the back and people wouldn't have had.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
So they've gone bang and they must in you once
it opens. It was, you know, some little.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
I almost thought. I thought the days of like those
kind of robberies were done on e oceans eleven your
pink panthers. I thought, like in the security in this
age was too good, Like haven't you watched.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
All the movies where the thieves like do sort of
gymnastics under the laser beams. Come on, but.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
There's no there's no freaking.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
It's a movie.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Could I just give you a lightning quick story was
told to me by the great boxing trainer Johnny Lewis,
who knows everyone around the inner West of Sydney. Around
they did in the West of Sydney around the sixties,
seventies and eighties. There was all these old wise guys.
You know, there was a thin blue line between the
cops of the criminals. Anyway, there was a gang that
he spoke about, Well a blow come. We're having coffee
and this bloke walks up and he goes Johnny goes, hey,

(34:17):
you know, say come over here. Have you met Maddie.
Oh no, I haven't a Maddie, here you go, chatch
it really nice play. He walked on and goes, you
know he's so now he goes, mate, he was in
the Kangaroo Gang. You heard of them, No I haven't.
So the Kangaroo Gang, we're a group of young ossies
from Sydney who through the sixties and early seventies, even
Scotland Yard said, some of the most masterful like robberies

(34:39):
in British history. So they did all. They took all
the crown jewels from Mayfair and nice Bridge of jewelers
ten years free. Now I love this. Listen to the
names that. This is the name, the names of the gang.
The leader of the gang was the King Arthur Delaney,
originally a tractor from Newcastle. The other people were called Jack,

(34:59):
the Fibber, Lawren Billy, the General Hill, Gorgeous George Gardner,
and the master thief was this young guy, little fellow
called Wee Jimmy Lloyd. So they're all all OSSI's right,
all Sydney boys except for the King Arthur, who was
a Newcastle boy. Now wee Jimmy, he said, we Jimmy
Lloyd used to go in as a young fella into

(35:19):
the pubs around Newtown and that, and everyone be having
a drink. Then he goes, oh, everyone look at this,
and hold everyone's wallets up. It was such an amazing
pizza slid of hand. Sleight of hand. Now, they had
two rules. They were very well respected. What they used
to use all the time they called head pullers. Now
head pullers were gorgeous women that they would get from
Australia who were their friends with and they would walk

(35:40):
into places and distract everyone. Right, And they had two
rules which I really like. I like Robin Hood's number one.
No violence. Through their ten years, of all people they
ever stole from in places, not one person was ever injured.
That was a thing. No violence, No one gets hurt.
Never rob a working man or a person down on
their luck. So they were really they just robbed Lloyd.

(36:01):
Now head that's head bade the story. I want to
talk about. Wee Jimmy Lloyd really really quick. One. I've
told you guys this before they took When we're Jimmy
Lloyd joined their master heist, they're stirling this particular jewel
and want to be from Harrod's or somewhere there. So
they said right, Arthur went the king. Arthur Delaney goes, right,

(36:23):
are we going to go in here? Now? Were? Jimmy, listen, mate,
this is reconnaissance. We don't you going in lets try
to steal or anything like that. So we're going to
go in. We're going to check it out. We're going
to come back a few days later, see how we
get this thing. Yep, they go in there, they do
the reconnaissance. Everything's good. They go sit back in the
car and they go, what do you reckon? Boys? We Jimmy,
what do you think? He goes, I've already got it,
had it in his hand. Oh that's how. What an

(36:46):
amazing thief.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
I do have an appreciation like I get it's a
good thief like hand. Let me phrase this, yeah, I
mean a sleight of hand. It's almost magic.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Right.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Basically, you're either if you're a thief, you either have
become a magician and you perform at weddings, or you
become a thief like you become a robbery.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
When I went to Paris a couple of years ago,
I was thinking, like I had my backpack. Every time
I went on public transport or the tunnel or anything,
I always put my bag in like my hand and
had it in front of me because everyone was telling me.
They said they're that good, like all the from the
they say, from the like the history of like.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Peasantry, the Romany's yeah, and Romney Gypsy says, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
It's crazy and they reckon. It is the one place
where it is like guarantee that if you like don't
look after your things, you are going to get like
things stolen.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Well that Ad l Oney. They couldn't finally for a
long time and not until the nineties. He did his
last heist, went into London in the nineties and then
another master heist and just the.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Magicians blow my mind. Like I remember chess Is wedding.
They had a magician there called Magic Mic not a
stript that's his thing, and it was awesome exactly. But
a couple of times Slider hand took my card from
it back in my year the coins twenty seve gone.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I've got the whole kit I bought in London two
years ago.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Don't like these these magicians have been doing it their
whole life. You can't.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
You've got to practice.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, I know, thanks, but like you either have it
like you don't, just like you've got to work harder,
and you got to learn it young, like you don't
just pick it up at twenty six like the Sea
dog and then do it.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
You could.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
But what I'm what I wanted to get the point
I wanted to get to. Now that I've spent a
night in jail, and I've.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Like, you know what, I don't want to go there.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
As a guest. No, no, no, like I could go.
I honestly believe I could go into prison and I'd
be I'd be running at.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
The top dog maybe in a month.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I think you're try that.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I think if you ended in prison, within about ten minutes,
you've been the shower room boom, buggered, have been roger?

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Is that what you reckon? If that's how I got
to get my way to the top, brother, guilty as shot.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
But the point coupa, now listen to the judge, says
the magistrate. You don't leave time. He's warning.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
No, no, I'm not going to learn. Just send me
to sir, judge. I'm guilty. You haven't done anything wrong.
Don't worry. I'm guilty. Send me there now, even I
it's just for a night. But now that I've been
in jail, in terms of crime, you know, petty theft, murder,
and the rest of them. I look at robbers and theft,
particularly when they rob things like like a major corporation,

(39:23):
not like an individual. I see that and I I
respect it in a way, so.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
I teel it for me. It's not what I don't
respect white collar crime. I respect people who go into
a place like you know, like the louver and be
so clever like a real and not not be and
not have to hurt anyone.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
That's what I mean is at the end of the day,
it's all based on around greed.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, I get that. It's more yeah, but
it's also in my head. I'm like, you know, if
you rub someone on the street, I think that's low,
Like that's a low. You rob someone in an alley,
that's low. But if you do something with the lover
where you've got to be so creative, you got to
do all this and realistically, it's not affecting like there's
enough not affecting.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
Yeah, there's enough cash ins and it's not.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Affecting the major corporate like individuals. It's only affecting major corporations. Dude,
I'm happy. I'm like one of those eco friendly guys.
Don't chop down the trees. I'll change myself to a tree.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Well, you haven't you ever think about it where the
French aristocraphy aristocracy got their money. You think about it
exactly how their royalty got their money.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
We go.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
You know, there's a lot of looting and stealing going
on there to get their wealth. So hey, yeah, still
from the rest.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Of okay, think about the mona Lisa was stolen in
nineteen eleven.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
A few times, isn't it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
I don't know. But what made the Moan of Lisa
famous was the fact that it was stolen and went
disappeared for two.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Years before all we know it's not even the real one,
and that who knows.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
And it was an inside job, like it was a
guy who had previously worked at the Loop and he
just walked in, took it out of the frame, rolled
it up, and walked back out. Because an Italian fellow,
if you.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Could question without notice, so you could steal one thing
in the world, like from a magic not like you know,
like Rob's wallet down the road. If you could steal
one sort of iconic thing, what would you want?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I wouldn't I don't think I'd be looking over my
shoulder constantly.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
But true, I'm saying, if you can get away, you
can get away.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Well, what's the greatest diamond.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
I'm not really on these crown jewels and stuff like that.
If I just steal something.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
And I don't want an artwork.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I know there's a neighbor up here, he's got a
beautiful car. I would like to steal that.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Maybe like a Michael Jordan rookie card. Those things go
for a fair bit.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
I think what a waste of a like the Mona
Lisa would be something amazing to have.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
That you're going to put it, it's freaking ugly, not
in this house, you.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Want mate, put it in this room, just sitting in
the background.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
It'd be a pretty good podcast edition. I mean, they'd
find it quite quickly because it's in the back of
all of our podcasts. But I feel like having the
Mona Lisa all that Vincent van go Ar well, yeah,
something like that. I think it's a starry night like
a yeah, yeah, even I sort of rolling.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Or a pollock like I make pollocks once a day.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Yeah, you just keep those to yourself.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yeah, that's spear toil out back. Seriously, it's like a
war zone every morning here. It is.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
If you get a if you get a p S
A graded ten Michael Jordan rookie cart, it's worth upwards
of seven hundred thousand US dollars.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Again not my go let your card addiction.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Go have a really nice boat, like a big overnight
a sleep on boat like that, and off I'd be
off to see. Hard to hide, though, isn't it apparently
like it's okay?

Speaker 1 (42:38):
The Melbourne storm seems to do it pretty good.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Salary cap standards.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Youube get a boat?

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Yeah, do you remember the caravans things like that?

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Really?

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Anyway back, Yeah, it's just a little jack. It's the
the reference isn't as good when you have to explain it.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Well, you know what some other people.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Might while we're on hangovers. Just for I want to
move on my little my quiz today. It's a little
spin on a quiz. Yeah, I want to find the
worst possible place you can be hungover. So I'm just
going to give you guys scenarios and you guys debate
which one is worse, until at the end we have
one which is going to be the winner.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Okay, I can un over in a lot of places.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
So the first one I'm going to start with my
scenario one Sunday, which is staying in a ghost prison overnight.
So that or being hungover and having to do a
training session. What's worse?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Oh, I actually like training hangover. It's the first thing
I do when I get over in the morning. I
go out and I train because once you start the sweat,
you get through that first twenty twenty five minutes to
hangovers gone.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I probably just do the training because it's going to
be quicker. So at least I'm going to be sick
and I'm going to vomit and I'm going to pass out.
I'm going to drop to the floor and it's done
for me.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
It depends on the session. The only times I've ever
trained hungover are the like of you over Christmas periods,
you know where we're not actually training your training in
your own and you know what, there's some they aren't
too bad, but you know what the hard ones are.
The hard ones are when someone's riding you're really hard.
They're the ones that are like hard.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I remember once I had no sleep turned up when
I was a young player, A training because I told
us I have a fun We're going to do a
games day on a Saturday morning. So we went out
and all night. I was about nineteen turned up, and
since the coach sense of the field, the players had
been out, he has right our games off, We're going
to do eight hundreds and four hundreds. Because I was

(44:31):
so blind, I was numb, like I was just on fire.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
That's what. And this was an observation I may have
been on staying in the prison. Sometimes you're so hungover
that nothing affects you. That's sometimes half the battle in
all these situations is mental. But when your brain is
numb from numbing it with alcohol the night before, and
you're hungover, you almost wish you were dead.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
You're exhausted and tired. You're definitely not like you're just
like numb to things.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
There's been times when I'm on a plane back and
the plane rides and it's got that much turbulence that
I and everyone in there screaming, and I'm sitting there hungover,
and I go, if it goes down, it goes down.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, I'm not opening my eyes. I'm not running down.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
So we said staying in a prison was worse than
the training session. Okay, sweet, Next scenario staying in a
prison or having to go to a wedding, We.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Can hang over. I'd happily go to a wedding, me too.
You have four or five drinks, couple of it's living, sweeting.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
It's very true. Staying in a prison, or going to
a one year old kid's birthday party.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Oh jeez, one year old's birthday two hours?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Give me a prison. Those snotty kids.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Now what you do? You just lay there and let
them climb all over.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Some people go to prison for that.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
They're climbing over me.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
I'm just I'm saying the one year old is worse,
you reckon?

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Well, how do you think I had to live most
of my life with you two? Hungover? Looking after you?

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Who? That's not a great wrap when shows the kind
of mother you are?

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Old, Okay, okay, wait for naptime.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
So that one year old kid's birthday party wins. That
one year old kid's birthday party. Or being hungover at
a funeral.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Oh, I'm happy to do the funeral, because what happens
after a funeral? Got the wake? Yeah? But again at
fourth beer liver, Sweet.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Are you in your liver.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
But you get all head noisy and sad when you hungover.
So I imagine being at a funeral, particularly someone's going
I'd rather go.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
To the funeral, I think. Okay, yeah, you know my
wedding day was so hungover.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Those two have been no more funerals than but really.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Yeah, I dreaded it. It's pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
It is. It is bad. When you go on a
funeral in the church there's nowhere conditioning. It's hot. Go,
oh my god, you're worse than the box there.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Did So what why were you hungover at your wedding?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Well, the girls to night we started out playing board games,
and then we drank all of the alcohol that we
had for the broader party for the photos. We drank
it all.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
And then what did you have for.

Speaker 2 (47:01):

Speaker 1 (47:04):

Yeah, that's right, dark he was there. He was everyone's feet,
wasn't It's.

Speaker 2 (47:19):

Yeah, you know what, You're right. A lot of the
others divorced. But guess what one of the girls got
a home run that I'm not going to tell you.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Oh my god, you've never been so intent on me.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Okay. They met at the pub, so it's no one
you know, okay it and she'd given him his number
and then they going like, came back here right as
she did, he didn't, and then they were talking texting.
So then when she left, she met up with him again.
That's why she left earlier. I'm sorry, sorry it happened here, No, but.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
It was it was the girl who was here.

She goes don't tell me small corks.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
You've done well there, very delivered.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
That is the greatest shoke you've ever done. We were
so invested.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
In stroud of myself that was legitimate.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
You didn't look at your paper once.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Clip that up, Jake, that was Trisha. You have. It's
taken you five six years, but that is the first
shoke I've ever laughed at.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
This problem And honestly, you were so do you know
what I was turned on for her?

Speaker 3 (52:03):
That's really weird, but also turned on.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
To remind you is this is the worst situation. We
hungover and Trish overtook it with one of the greatest
jokes of all time.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
I don't even know where we are. Okay, kid's birthday
or an international flight.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
International flight because I'm going somewhere good and you can.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Sleep and a couple of drinks.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Okay, Now, the last scenario kids one year old birthday
or a six hour drive.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
But I thought you said that the flight one.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
You said you'd rather be at the flight. This is
to try to find the worst time the trush. So
how did that win?

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Okay, give me the one year old birthday and I'm
going to sneak offrom the toils and drink.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah, I'll have the Yeah, six hour drive. Yeah, that's
the pair of the dog is essential.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
So you're both saying six hour drive is the worst
place to in the world. Wow, okay, that wins.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Interesting Where Bus two? We you know you can't make
the bus has always done because you can't pull over
that you just.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Want somewhere that you can sleep and you can sleep
through it.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
To finish, to finish. Can I just say one thing
that happened at dinner the other night, Just a thing
between Dad and Jem. And I always loved the little
like I always love the little interactions between Dad and Jem.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Because she's really kind to him.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Yeah, she treats him like he's like a simple really
really like fragile.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
And Dad came back from the doctors, and the dad
come back and said, mate, this it's crazy. The doc
said to me like, I was pretty rattled that I
had a ten percent chance in the next five years
of having a heart attack. Correct, Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
And if your dad's told everyone, I overhear him telling everyone.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
Yeah, and apparently that's apparently that's that's fairly normal from
what we've heard. And Jim said, wow, that's that's not
too bad. That's not me. And then dad, Dad come
back with and I heard him in the background say
this story goes but jem I back horses at thirty
to one, which is very true.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Special, Okay. I was thinking like this, there's a ten
percent chance the next five years we're going to have
a heart attack. So it's like, right, put some money
in a ten to one horse and that horse. You're
sitting there watching the races at Ramwick, that horses that
horse wins, you're going to have a heart attack. You know,
you can understand you just made I've backed plenty of horses,

(54:41):
There'll been more than ten dollars.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
But there's a ninety percent chance you're not going to
have attack.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
But in that in you order like you haven't got
a jockey riding your heart whipping it.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
I have got someone whipping me.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
And I am whipping your heart?

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Had okay pain yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Jockey. No, no, she's a good jockey.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
I was just anyway, is that insulting to Michelle?

Speaker 4 (55:06):
No?

Speaker 1 (55:06):
No, no, Well.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
What we were going to We're going to do political movies.
We do that next week. Next week to talk about
I said before, a couple of really big, good episodes
coming up Gas and Gail. But the other one we
didn't mention too is a bit of a two Scott
drink water episode, which boys, I think could be just
about our best backstage. It was, without doubt how funny.

Speaker 4 (55:26):
Something happens in the middle of it, and it is
just so bizarre.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Drink. He's one of the great characters. Everyone always asked me,
like the question I get more than anything I reckon
is like, who who would you rather? Because I've had
a lot of drinks with people, who would Who's if
you could take three people, like on a trip away.
I always include drinking in that conversation.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
And I understand. He's good energy. He's just a well
meaning guy, and he's just a lovely man, and he just.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Gets along with everyone. He's just so luck He just
laughs and giggles and he's so he is so easy
to make laugh like. He was even laughing at Jack's jokes.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
He's been sending me messages, he said, only sent me
a message just goes mate, thank you so much for
me and Jack were just talking about you just earlier,
what a legend you are. They never came back. I
was waiting for a bit of reciprocal anyway.

Speaker 2 (56:10):

the thirteen days from.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Because I'm going to take them off because then I'll
be heethering and dithering and I won't be able to send.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
Out the backstage cats.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Yeah, any of the caps, back fence, get on the
back fences. That's what we've been calling our people. You

Speaker 1 (57:39):
It's called but this is called six It's just like,
you know, how like the kids come up with the
dab or what's nine plus ten twenty one. It's just
one of those things. It's just one of those mean things.
It'll die just as quickly as its creative.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
What does it mean?

Speaker 1 (57:51):
It's so hard to really.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Understand getting cut. Jacket doesn't like Jack.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. ā€œFoods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,ā€ says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
