In this Quick Fix version of an episode from about a year ago, JG is in the Van and things get weirdly specific very quickly.
We kick off with a chaotic Thankful Thursday that covers the secret martial-arts style hierarchy of McDonald’s uniforms and a listener who is sewing a hoodie made entirely of chicken nugget fabric, before trying to invent a version of Spotto that doesn't involve goosing the person next to you. Yep. That'll do I reckon.
If you'd like to listen to the FULL episode this came from... It's episode 58!
Enjoy!

Quick Fix with Julie Goodwin is back in the van.
I haven't got that Jingle, no. Sometimes I just do my own,

Yeah, hey, I've got to think to it from my podcast provider that
said that I have to have in the description of my podcast if I
use any AI stuff. Yeah, Yeah.
(00:26):
So I have to say it. So at the bottom of the
description for this episode, itsays, just so you know, the pod
band aren't pod band aren't a real band, they are AI.
And it makes a song out of an episode or something like OK,
hang on, we're gonna. Very nice view.
I get that. Not out the window.
Oh, not. It's right in front of you.

You can call me Maverick. He does like that, OK, It's in
fact it's in his rider. Are you going into an
appointment right now? No, that's OK, I can wait.
So you're making a light. Oh, time is just a construct.
(01:09):
Julie, the lack of time awareness is.
Real What was your thankful Thursday, Sam?
I was very thankful and and everyday and actually for my 17
year old son Xander, it was his birthday that day and I'm

Oh, that's. Awesome.
Can I just backtrack a bit, So you say McDonald's is a blue
shirt. Do they have kind of like a judo
belt system where they move up some coloured shirts?
They do, yeah. They started the red shirt and
then go blue shirt. I'm not sure what the next is.
(02:34):
I'll. I'll find out in the coming
years. I suppose so.
Black belt. Yeah, and what?

outfit once you get to the top. When?
You. I'm the company rabbit.

birthday from us. Yeah.
And, and hey, thanks for being part of Thankful Thursday.

know this is hilarious. You're thankful Thursday was
actually about your overlocker. Yes, Sir.
Yeah, Tell. Me how I overlocker.
I know it does little complex sort of thing, but what is?
It yeah, it basically. Stitches like the.
Side of the garment or what haveyou sewing?
(03:39):
And it does, yeah, as you say, lots and lots of stitches.
Rather than a straight stitch, which is basically a sewing
machine. Yeah.
And it just kind of, yeah, makesthe ends all meat and tidy and
cuts off the end and it sews it all neat and tidy, so.
Things don't. Fray Yes, yes.
And the fabric I was using was very fluffy and fraying so.
Yeah, because. We're going everywhere a chicken
(04:02):
nugget would eat. Shaped like a chicken nugget or
with chicken Nuggets on it. I mean kinda.
It's chicken nugget print. Saying it out loud is a lot
worse. Weirder than it than it is, but.
No, no, no no. When I read it, it was pretty
weird too. And when we see it also weird
do. You wanna see?
It so yes. Please I wanna see.
(04:23):
She put a photo up in the pod band.
Facebook group, it's like, yeah,do them in like dog sizes 'cause
I know a few dogs who'd love a chicken nugget, Audie.
I might, I could probably try one.
That was my first go at doing anOoty so I when I saw the fabric.
My son's nickname is Nuggets. Oh.
So that's, and he, he wears Ooties like all year round like
(04:46):
it's he's. Comforting.
Yeah, so he gets anxiety. He was the one I was talking to
you about getting anxiety and, and it's kind of like he's
comforting and he's actually going to school camp.
He seeks camp in two weeks. So I really wanted to have it
made so that he could take it with him and he has a little bit
of a mum made thing and he feelsa bit less like anxiety.
(05:07):
Yeah, anxious. So.
Yeah. Does he like to eat Nuggets?
Is that why he's called Nuggets?He loved.
Yeah. Yeah.
So as a baby, he kind of just. Looked like a nugget.
And then now he doesn't quite look like and he just eats them
all the time that. Was Tiana's nickname when she
was in the belly Nugget? Yeah, she was Nugget.
(05:29):
Jordan was JB because he looked like a little Jelly Bean.
OK. And then he became Jordan Boyd.
We named him JB after the fact that we called him JB all
through the pregnancy because helooked like a little Jelly Bean.
Yeah, and then you should. Bring Jelly Bean back as a
nickname for him and see how he goes with that.
I mean, he's nearly 20. He'll.
Hit him with a bit of JB every now and then.
Hey, I've got the photo here that you posted up on on the
(05:50):
Please show me in the Facebook group.
And there he is. Yeah, with his chicken nugget
Audi that. Is awesome.
Oh, that is not what I was visualising.
That is much better than what I was visualising.
Yeah, I I'm pleased. But there's a whole range of of
spotlight, of fabric at Spotlight at the moment.
But he's just, it's an Australian designer and she just
does all these amazing, like, you know, typical Australian.
(06:13):
She has some fabric that's pot. And then it's got bin chickens
all over it all with fairy floss, a fairy, fairy bread.
Sorry, fairy bread. That's always, you know, yeah.
Have lovers like, you know, it'syeah, it's amazing.
So when I saw that fabric, I waslike, I have to have that.
Yeah, sort of so fairy, but you know the fairy bread.
Like people overseas don't get fairy bread.
(06:34):
They don't understand it. What?
What is that? They don't we get like a staple.
My husband says if there's not, if it's a party with no fairy
bread, it's not a party. He's so I.
Think he's correct? Yeah, he's correct.
Yeah, I'm. Pretty sure those are.
We made it for my cousin's like 15th birthday and and it was the
first thing that went. Like whatever.
(06:54):
You can't go wrong. Yeah, it's hundreds and
thousands on bread with butter, White bread with butter.
Delicious. Yeah.
Who was the first person who ever come up with that?
Though like very poor person who'd run out of jam, went
through the cupboards and when? I'll tell you what, I do have
kids. I've got hundreds of deserts and
Ferryman was born. The best cuisines in the world
(07:18):
come from poverty and fairy brothers.
Yeah. Exception and accidents.
And accidents, yeah. Yeah, that's funny.
Well, thank you for your Thankful Thursday.
That is awesome. No, I was.
Thank you for that. My overlooker worked.
Thanks, I have a look at Jenny. Yeah, no worries.
Thank you Jenny. Have a good day.
You too. Bye bye.
(07:39):
A message just came through fromSam that we were talking to just
before. She says.
I got nervous but tell Julie I love her book.
I've read the first half so we can compare notes.
Oh my God, what people in my life just reading half the book?
Yeah, but then getting together,see what you're doing.
You're bringing people together through your book.
Bang Yates together is what I'm gonna do do.
(08:01):
You have a thankful Thursday. Well, in a minute.
I'm cranky at the moment. It's gonna dig deep for granted
too right now. My cough is gone and then.
(08:23):
Just brought in back where? Come.
From. Ohh that's funny, someone just
posted their photo in the Facebook group as well.
Ohh, it's Kyla of the pod van onits way to this location.
There you go, just cruising downthe cruising now the way of
(08:45):
life. Look at you.
It's got it. It's not spotted.
It's more of a stripe. It's.
Just spoto. Oh Spoto.
Still more of a stripe. Yeah, we, yeah, we need to
invent a game like SPOTO for if you see the pod van out and
about. Stripe, OH.
Yeah, but you gotta do somethingto the person next to you.
Podo. Podo.
Oh yeah, Podo. Still gotta punch him.
Still gotta punch him. It's.
Not Podo if you're not punch. Him.
(09:05):
What about a little a little goose or something?
I'm glad you understood what I meant by that.
Just lift. Up off your seat for a second.
I've seen the pod van. Well, that's about to get fun.
Oh, you went backside. This is silly.
Oh, OK. Is that the only way that's fun
(09:26):
for you? That's.
No, I, I just, well, you said lift up off your seat for a
second. Where are you going?
Just a little, just a little honk.
I don't know, just honk something on the person next to
you and go Bodo. No, because we want kids to play
the game as well. Fun for fun for mum and dad.
(09:47):
Oh, that's what it can be. Ouch.
Just a little twist of the person's nipple next to you.
And that's how we ended up back in court.
You can't do it on the bus. Oh my God, we're parked next to
the train line right here. Oh, the.
(10:09):
Train no public transport. No, public transport.
Podo cannot be played on public transport.
OK, Right. Well, we've invented something
new from this, though, Podo thatwe have.
Well, Podo's a thing, right? So you see, you say Podo, you
take a photo. Not if you're driving,
obviously. The passenger takes a photo and
you put it up in the pod van Facebook group and you go Podo.
(10:32):
Yeah. And that's.
Fun. You get a price.
No, no, it. Could be a prize.
No, no, this certainly doesn't have to cost me anything.
Don't get nipple crippled. Alright, well let's make it
something else other than a nipple twist then.
Ohh, asking you here. I know that's all I had.
Well, prize can't just be that you don't get hurt, because
otherwise you gotta go around hurting everybody that doesn't
see that. I'm not no bloody you're
(10:56):
thinking about the prize. I'm not thinking about the
prize. Oh, I am.
No, just the thing you do because when you you see a
yellow car and you say spoto andyou punch the person next to
you, you hit someone in the car.What a weird part that someone
decided to add to it. Oh.
That's just that feels to me like siblings are having a punch
on in the backseat and the parents are like, right, I'm
turning this car around and they're like, no, no, no, no.
We're playing a game. Quick, what's the game?
(11:19):
There's a yellow. There's a yellow car 'cause I I
just knew of Spoto, as you just say Spoto and it's an ongoing
going telly in the car or whatever, but somewhere along
the line, Tiana started hitting people.
I think The Simpsons are responsible.
Really. Feel like Bart and Lisa used to
punch each other. Oh punch, buggy.
Yeah, with VW, yes, there's punch buggy.
(11:39):
That's not SPOTO. People have taken the.
They've computed. Violence from that.
Yeah, car game. Oh, I know what, Willie.
So yeah, you wet your finger the.
Ear. Yeah, wet.
Your finger, stick it in the person's ear and go Oh no.
Then you've got a wet finger in someone's ear wax.
Yeah. Oh, no, thank you.
What about like you pick the nose of the person next to you?
(12:01):
Oh God, you just say you go Potter and you stick your finger
out someone's nostril. I'd rather goose them.
OK, Potter. Oh, a horse.
A horse bite. What's a horse bite?
That one. Don't reflex.
You can't kick me 5 seconds later and go oh that was a
(12:24):
reflex. The other leg.
It was your reflex, your Honour.Well, they told me I couldn't
goose them. Charley Horse.
A Charley horse. Is it OK?
Yeah, I don't. Know you know when you squeeze
(12:44):
just above the knee, you call. It when you whip someone with a
wet tea towel, you twist it and go.
Oh my God, I did that the other night and left the biggest mark
on Sav's hand. So I was going around the house
doing it and I've been doing this since I was a teenager,
man. Yeah, so good at.
Whipping with the tea towel and I can get a real good black man
(13:07):
and I like to do it against likethe cupboards and against the
fridge and stuff 'cause it gets a.
Real. What?
Well, that was the thing, right?So I'm going up on it and I can
judge the distance perfectly. Yeah.
So I'm going behind her you. Had a super sized tea towel.
No, she it was her fault. She put her.
Hand back to cover her butt and that she that changed the
(13:27):
parameters gotcha that I was working upon and got her hand
and Oh my God the mark on her hand.
It's like, it's like that thing,you know, I'm just gonna walk
towards the cake going like this, home, home, home.
And if it's in my way, I can't help.
What happened? What are you, Pac-Man?
(13:47):
That is not a thing. Cake, man.
I just, I just hey, I walk like this.
I can't be held responsible. It's in my way.
It's your fault. You gotta learn.
You gotta learn to shut your piehole.
That's what's going on here. That before.
OK, so have we settled on what you do with?
(14:09):
I don't want it to be violent. I don't want it to be illegal.
Damn it, so. Restrictive.
Yeah, I know. I just don't want to be
responsible. For, I can't think of a single
thing that's not. Accidents that nothing like you
go Potter and you cover the other person's eyes again.
It's not. Violent.
It's not illegal. Yeah, but if the person's
(14:30):
driving, yeah, it's. Still dangerous.
That's not great, but you do. You got to do something to the
other person though. Dakam.
No, that's. Generally, everyone's sitting in
a car. Well, what if it's a walking
Potter? Oh.
You're walking down the street? Yeah.
(14:51):
What if I parked it like next toa fun run or something?
That would be an extra fun run random deckings.
Remember when we invented bare ass bowls?
It's the extension on that, isn't it?
OK, well, I don't know. Maybe I'll.
You know what, I'll, I'll put itout to the group.
(15:11):
OK, I'll put it in the Facebook group, the pod van Facebook
group and ask. We're gonna play Podo.
If you see the pod van around you, say Podo.
But then what's the thing you doin the car?
Not violent, not illegal. Non violent.
And not boring. Like, I mean, it's kind of like
if you honk yourself on the nose, it's kind of funny, but
it's weird. But like, if you're if you're
podo honk child is funny. That's funny.
(15:37):
It's weird. Damn it.
We're not there yet, are we? We're not there.
Put it out to. The group Revs.
Yeah, yeah, thank you. Yeah.
OK. Alright, Well, my thankful
Thursday is the fact that I can bring something like that into
the van. We don't actually come out with
anything in the end, but God, I was looking forward to coming
down here today and recording with you because we just have a.
(15:58):
Laugh. Have you found one yet?
Have you got over your anger from Yeah.
Just don't remind me about it orI'll be back there.
Yeah, actually. And I was thinking about this
only on the weekend because I'vejust, I'm just thankful for the,
the people around me. And you know, I know it's quite
regular to say, you know, my family and my friends and all
(16:19):
that, but just I've collected this random sort of flow of
people that come in and out of my week and in and out of my day
and my life. And it's so they're so
interesting. They're so interesting.
So obviously my family is interesting, my friends, but you
know, I, I have sort of built time into my life now to really
(16:40):
just go and be with people that I love and find interesting.
And so I had coffee and lunch with a couple of girlfriends.
I've had these people to my house for a meal that I kind of
just randomly met and went, Geez, you're interesting.
And we've, we're getting on comeand have dinner.
So I've been doing that great. I've got, you know, my beautiful
dance partner who danced with meunder, he came up from Sydney
(17:03):
just to watch the show with me. And then he went back, you know,
just sit on the couch with me and, and the family and just
watch, you know, and I just thought life is richer for
having the time to just settle into certain conversations and
get to know people and ask questions and, and, and just
have this, this quite a beautiful tapestry of people
flowing in and around. And they don't have to become
(17:24):
your best friend who sits shoulder to shoulder with you
every day of the week. And just to, to invite different
people in and hear their storiesand hear their differing
opinions to mine, different world viewpoints to mine.
I am thankful to be able to havethose conversations and to have
this rich, interesting tapestry of people that come in and out
of of of my days. I'm thankful you're right.
(17:47):
Those conversations with people.I have a couple.
The other day actually, I went to spec savers because should
have gotten years ago. Well, I think I did.
I'm not totally. Might have been.
The supermarket, yeah, they theysaid we can't do eye tests here.
I'm like, are you spec saving? They said no.
I still don't know where I went.Where you go?
(18:09):
Talking to the lady in there, she she was, we're having great
laughs. And it was exactly what I
needed. I'd been tucked away inside
McCabe at home, editing, editing, editing.
And then I had this appointment,so I had to go to it.
And so I went along and end up laughing about, she said that I
was telling her about the nursesepisode.
I was gone. Have you listened to that?
Listened. To parts of it.
(18:30):
Oh my God, it's so funny. They're stories, they're pranks
that they would do on on the wall next.
Level. Man, Oh my God, have you, have
you heard the one about where she throws the baby?
No. So they're on night shift that
it was like 3 or 4 in the morning and they all just load
themselves up on caffeine to getthrough the night.
One of them in particular doesn't get, doesn't sleep great
(18:51):
across the day. So she was quite sleep deprived.
Yeah. And on edge.
Yeah. And they were looking after one
of the babies. They're midwives.
Yeah. Sometimes they just need mum
just needs a break. So they take the baby and
they'll just settle it for a while.
They also have this doll. Oh no, that they used for
demonstrating breastfeeding technique and that kind of
(19:12):
thing. Okay, so her friend had gone off
to go and do something else while she was settling this this
baby, which was quite an unsettled baby.
Yeah, baby had settled. She gave it back to mum and then
she went, hey, this will be funny.
So she grabbed the doll, wrappedthe doll up in the same thing
that the baby had been wrapped up in.
Then when the friend came back around, she's just, she, she
said. I, I made myself look a little
(19:32):
unhinged. I mean, I just can't do this
anymore. It's just you take her and threw
the she's coming down the ward. This other nurse has broken into
a run and did a dive to try and catch her and didn't catch it.
(19:52):
This. Doll's rolled out of the thing.
She's realised that to Doll and broken into a run chasing this
other one and the two of them. I seen it as like a Betty Hill's
cat. Couple of nurses round and
round. She's, oh, she's.
Been in therapy ever since. I said, God, every story she
told me she went, can't do that anymore.
(20:14):
Could you ever? Could you ever?
That. Just so wrong and wrong and oh.
Yeah, ourselves telling the ladyin Spec Savers about that.
And I was like, you guys do pranks in here instead because
pranks are funny or, you know, back in the day they were.
And she's like, Oh yeah, When I first started here, someone said
to me, and I wasn't normally theone that would go and do the eye
tests. And they said, oh, Mr. Sachin
(20:35):
just has just come in, can you go in?
Because I've got to go and do this.
It's all set up. All you need to do is this and
this. OK, sure.
So she goes into the room, he goes in.
He's wearing glasses, takes off his glasses.
Yeah, yeah. What they didn't tell her about
Mr. Whatever his name is. Rabbit Rabbit that's worse than
(20:58):
my shark. It is not worse than your shark
joke. I heard nothing to say to that.
I can't say a thing. That story's not gonna go.
Just like your shark. Joke that is 1.
Don't worry that ones been edited out.
(21:18):
Just know that it was really funny what you're missing out
on. Feel like that I advise you
walking through you know you walk through the shops don't
kick me in the. Face I changed notice I changed
to my right foot I was. Going to very kindly, gently.
Nudge the microphone towards you.
Right. All right.
You know, there's the hearing places and they have somebody
(21:39):
standing up the front calling out.
Yes. You want a free hearing check?
Well, do you know? You know what I do, right?
Pretend you're gonna hear them. Sorry.
No, I don't engage. I'll just I am deaf.
And then they go, I mean, you definitely need to come in here.
Excuse me? Should have had a bullhorn.
Excuse. All right, listen.
They have never spoken to me. They have never approached me.
(22:03):
The other day someone did. The other day old.
White beard over here. She.
She. She made eye contact and hello,
how are you young? Thank you.
Don't it? That's funny you.
Say just assumptions. You know the other one who makes
(22:24):
assumptions about me and doesn'tapproach me.
What? The gold people.
You know, the ones that. He is broke.
I am, yeah. Yeah.
You've got no gold. You have nothing of value.
He had gold to sell. He sold it.
Look, a few weeks ago, you look.At you I got you.
See your gold spangly bracelet there, Your gold rings, your
gold earrings, your gold necklace.
(22:44):
You. You are prime target for them as
you walk by. Because I clearly don't sell
anything. Oh, because you're wearing it
all, Yeah. Like this is my 40th birthday
present. I wear it all the time.
Why would I sell it? Do you remember when I lost this
bangle? It was the worst.
I thought I left it at the radius.
So of course you don't. Where did you listen to the
first half of the goddamn story?2nd.
(23:05):
Come. Oh, that's right.
You know I've got it back. Where'd you find it?
In a bag? Yeah.
Mine, yeah. It had been a situation where I
must have 'cause this never comes off, right.
But then on the radio it would bang on the desk.
And so every morning I would take it off and leave it there
and put it back on at the end. Yeah, I must have knocked it.
(23:28):
Oh, that's why you lathered yourhand in Vaseline each morning.
That's one of the reasons. Anyway, we haven't got time to
get into that story, and if we did, I'd have to edit it out.
Anyway, final Thankful Thursday from me is to everyone who voted
in the Central Coast Local Business Awards.
(23:49):
Hey, got a thing out for that? Bet you've won some of those
over the years. Yeah.

other small business owners, just business owners on the
Central Coast and nice, good night.
Yeah, good night out. I'm thinking of taking my sales
team along actually. Try leaving them behind, it'll
(24:12):
hurt. Alright, that'll do us for this
quick fix. Remember, if you ever wanna hear
the full conversation it comes from, just match the number in
the title of this quick fix to the full episode number.
And don't forget, if you turn onthe notifications in Spotify and
Apple podcast, you won't miss any episodes or extras.
The job but then quick fix with rabbit.
Quick Fix with Julie Goodwin is back in the van.
I haven't got that Jingle, no. Sometimes I just do my own,
yeah. I mean, that's valid.
Yeah, hey, I've got to think to it from my podcast provider that
said that I have to have in the description of my podcast if I
use any AI stuff. Yeah, Yeah.
(00:26):
So I have to say it. So at the bottom of the
description for this episode, itsays, just so you know, the pod
band aren't pod band aren't a real band, they are AI.
And it makes a song out of an episode or something like OK,
hang on, we're gonna. Very nice view.

It yeah, it basically. Stitches like the.
Side of the garment or what haveyou sewing?

And it does, yeah, as you say, lots and lots of stitches.
Rather than a straight stitch, which is basically a sewing
machine. Yeah.
And it just kind of, yeah, makesthe ends all meat and tidy and
cuts off the end and it sews it all neat and tidy, so.
Things don't. Fray Yes, yes.
And the fabric I was using was very fluffy and fraying so.
Yeah, because. We're going everywhere a chicken
(04:02):
nugget would eat. Shaped like a chicken nugget or
with chicken Nuggets on it. I mean kinda.
It's chicken nugget print. Saying it out loud is a lot
worse. Weirder than it than it is, but.
No, no, no no. When I read it, it was pretty
weird too. And when we see it also weird
do. You wanna see?
It so yes. Please I wanna see.
(04:23):
She put a photo up in the pod band.
Facebook group, it's like, yeah,do them in like dog sizes 'cause
I know a few dogs who'd love a chicken nugget, Audie.
I might, I could probably try one.
That was my first go at doing anOoty so I when I saw the fabric.
My son's nickname is Nuggets. Oh.
So that's, and he, he wears Ooties like all year round like
(04:46):
it's he's. Comforting.
Yeah, so he gets anxiety. He was the one I was talking to
you about getting anxiety and, and it's kind of like he's
comforting and he's actually going to school camp.
He seeks camp in two weeks. So I really wanted to have it
made so that he could take it with him and he has a little bit
of a mum made thing and he feelsa bit less like anxiety.
(05:07):
Yeah, anxious. So.
Yeah. Does he like to eat Nuggets?
Is that why he's called Nuggets?He loved.
Yeah. Yeah.
So as a baby, he kind of just. Looked like a nugget.
And then now he doesn't quite look like and he just eats them
all the time that. Was Tiana's nickname when she
was in the belly Nugget? Yeah, she was Nugget.
(05:29):
Jordan was JB because he looked like a little Jelly Bean.
OK. And then he became Jordan Boyd.
We named him JB after the fact that we called him JB all
through the pregnancy because helooked like a little Jelly Bean.
Yeah, and then you should. Bring Jelly Bean back as a
nickname for him and see how he goes with that.
I mean, he's nearly 20. He'll.
Hit him with a bit of JB every now and then.
Hey, I've got the photo here that you posted up on on the
(05:50):
Please show me in the Facebook group.
And there he is. Yeah, with his chicken nugget
Audi that. Is awesome.
Oh, that is not what I was visualising.
That is much better than what I was visualising.
Yeah, I I'm pleased. But there's a whole range of of
spotlight, of fabric at Spotlight at the moment.
But he's just, it's an Australian designer and she just
does all these amazing, like, you know, typical Australian.
(06:13):
She has some fabric that's pot. And then it's got bin chickens
all over it all with fairy floss, a fairy, fairy bread.
Sorry, fairy bread. That's always, you know, yeah.
Have lovers like, you know, it'syeah, it's amazing.
So when I saw that fabric, I waslike, I have to have that.
Yeah, sort of so fairy, but you know the fairy bread.
Like people overseas don't get fairy bread.
(06:34):
They don't understand it. What?
What is that? They don't we get like a staple.
My husband says if there's not, if it's a party with no fairy
bread, it's not a party. He's so I.
Think he's correct? Yeah, he's correct.
Yeah, I'm. Pretty sure those are.
We made it for my cousin's like 15th birthday and and it was the
first thing that went. Like whatever.
(06:54):
You can't go wrong. Yeah, it's hundreds and
thousands on bread with butter, White bread with butter.
Delicious. Yeah.
Who was the first person who ever come up with that?
Though like very poor person who'd run out of jam, went
through the cupboards and when? I'll tell you what, I do have
kids. I've got hundreds of deserts and
Ferryman was born. The best cuisines in the world
(07:18):
come from poverty and fairy brothers.
Yeah. Exception and accidents.
And accidents, yeah. Yeah, that's funny.
Well, thank you for your Thankful Thursday.

(07:39):
A message just came through fromSam that we were talking to just

I got nervous but tell Julie I love her book.
I've read the first half so we can compare notes.
Oh my God, what people in my life just reading half the book?
Yeah, but then getting together,see what you're doing.
You're bringing people together through your book.
Bang Yates together is what I'm gonna do do.
(08:01):
You have a thankful Thursday. Well, in a minute.
I'm cranky at the moment. It's gonna dig deep for granted
too right now. My cough is gone and then.
(08:23):
Just brought in back where? Come.
From. Ohh that's funny, someone just
posted their photo in the Facebook group as well.
Ohh, it's Kyla of the pod van onits way to this location.
There you go, just cruising downthe cruising now the way of
(08:45):
life. Look at you.
It's got it. It's not spotted.
It's more of a stripe. It's.
Just spoto. Oh Spoto.
Still more of a stripe. Yeah, we, yeah, we need to
invent a game like SPOTO for if you see the pod van out and
about. Stripe, OH.
Yeah, but you gotta do somethingto the person next to you.
Podo. Podo.
Oh yeah, Podo. Still gotta punch him.
Still gotta punch him. It's.
Not Podo if you're not punch. Him.
(09:05):
What about a little a little goose or something?
I'm glad you understood what I meant by that.
Just lift. Up off your seat for a second.
I've seen the pod van. Well, that's about to get fun.
Oh, you went backside. This is silly.
Oh, OK. Is that the only way that's fun
(09:26):
for you? That's.
No, I, I just, well, you said lift up off your seat for a
second. Where are you going?
Just a little, just a little honk.
I don't know, just honk something on the person next to
you and go Bodo. No, because we want kids to play
the game as well. Fun for fun for mum and dad.
(09:47):
Oh, that's what it can be. Ouch.
Just a little twist of the person's nipple next to you.
And that's how we ended up back in court.
You can't do it on the bus. Oh my God, we're parked next to
the train line right here. Oh, the.
(10:09):
Train no public transport. No, public transport.
Podo cannot be played on public transport.
OK, Right. Well, we've invented something
new from this, though, Podo thatwe have.
Well, Podo's a thing, right? So you see, you say Podo, you
take a photo. Not if you're driving,
obviously. The passenger takes a photo and
you put it up in the pod van Facebook group and you go Podo.
(10:32):
Yeah. And that's.
Fun. You get a price.
No, no, it. Could be a prize.
No, no, this certainly doesn't have to cost me anything.
Don't get nipple crippled. Alright, well let's make it
something else other than a nipple twist then.
Ohh, asking you here. I know that's all I had.
Well, prize can't just be that you don't get hurt, because
otherwise you gotta go around hurting everybody that doesn't
see that. I'm not no bloody you're
(10:56):
thinking about the prize. I'm not thinking about the
prize. Oh, I am.
No, just the thing you do because when you you see a
yellow car and you say spoto andyou punch the person next to
you, you hit someone in the car.What a weird part that someone
decided to add to it. Oh.
That's just that feels to me like siblings are having a punch
on in the backseat and the parents are like, right, I'm
turning this car around and they're like, no, no, no, no.
We're playing a game. Quick, what's the game?
(11:19):
There's a yellow. There's a yellow car 'cause I I
just knew of Spoto, as you just say Spoto and it's an ongoing
going telly in the car or whatever, but somewhere along
the line, Tiana started hitting people.
I think The Simpsons are responsible.
Really. Feel like Bart and Lisa used to
punch each other. Oh punch, buggy.
Yeah, with VW, yes, there's punch buggy.
(11:39):
That's not SPOTO. People have taken the.
They've computed. Violence from that.
Yeah, car game. Oh, I know what, Willie.
So yeah, you wet your finger the.
Ear. Yeah, wet.
Your finger, stick it in the person's ear and go Oh no.
Then you've got a wet finger in someone's ear wax.
Yeah. Oh, no, thank you.
What about like you pick the nose of the person next to you?
(12:01):
Oh God, you just say you go Potter and you stick your finger
out someone's nostril. I'd rather goose them.
OK, Potter. Oh, a horse.
A horse bite. What's a horse bite?
That one. Don't reflex.
You can't kick me 5 seconds later and go oh that was a
(12:24):
reflex. The other leg.
It was your reflex, your Honour.Well, they told me I couldn't
goose them. Charley Horse.
A Charley horse. Is it OK?
Yeah, I don't. Know you know when you squeeze
(12:44):
just above the knee, you call. It when you whip someone with a
wet tea towel, you twist it and go.
Oh my God, I did that the other night and left the biggest mark
on Sav's hand. So I was going around the house
doing it and I've been doing this since I was a teenager,
man. Yeah, so good at.
Whipping with the tea towel and I can get a real good black man
(13:07):
and I like to do it against likethe cupboards and against the
fridge and stuff 'cause it gets a.
Real. What?
Well, that was the thing, right?So I'm going up on it and I can
judge the distance perfectly. Yeah.
So I'm going behind her you. Had a super sized tea towel.
No, she it was her fault. She put her.
Hand back to cover her butt and that she that changed the
(13:27):
parameters gotcha that I was working upon and got her hand
and Oh my God the mark on her hand.
It's like, it's like that thing,you know, I'm just gonna walk
towards the cake going like this, home, home, home.
And if it's in my way, I can't help.
What happened? What are you, Pac-Man?
(13:47):
That is not a thing. Cake, man.
I just, I just hey, I walk like this.
I can't be held responsible. It's in my way.
It's your fault. You gotta learn.
You gotta learn to shut your piehole.
That's what's going on here. That before.
OK, so have we settled on what you do with?
(14:09):
I don't want it to be violent. I don't want it to be illegal.
Damn it, so. Restrictive.
Yeah, I know. I just don't want to be
responsible. For, I can't think of a single
thing that's not. Accidents that nothing like you
go Potter and you cover the other person's eyes again.
It's not. Violent.
It's not illegal. Yeah, but if the person's
(14:30):
driving, yeah, it's. Still dangerous.
That's not great, but you do. You got to do something to the
other person though. Dakam.
No, that's. Generally, everyone's sitting in
a car. Well, what if it's a walking
Potter? Oh.
You're walking down the street? Yeah.
(14:51):
What if I parked it like next toa fun run or something?
That would be an extra fun run random deckings.
Remember when we invented bare ass bowls?
It's the extension on that, isn't it?
OK, well, I don't know. Maybe I'll.
You know what, I'll, I'll put itout to the group.
(15:11):
OK, I'll put it in the Facebook group, the pod van Facebook
group and ask. We're gonna play Podo.
If you see the pod van around you, say Podo.
But then what's the thing you doin the car?
Not violent, not illegal. Non violent.
And not boring. Like, I mean, it's kind of like
if you honk yourself on the nose, it's kind of funny, but
it's weird. But like, if you're if you're
podo honk child is funny. That's funny.
(15:37):
It's weird. Damn it.
We're not there yet, are we? We're not there.
Put it out to. The group Revs.
Yeah, yeah, thank you. Yeah.
OK. Alright, Well, my thankful
Thursday is the fact that I can bring something like that into
the van. We don't actually come out with
anything in the end, but God, I was looking forward to coming
down here today and recording with you because we just have a.
(15:58):
Laugh. Have you found one yet?
Have you got over your anger from Yeah.
Just don't remind me about it orI'll be back there.
Yeah, actually. And I was thinking about this
only on the weekend because I'vejust, I'm just thankful for the,
the people around me. And you know, I know it's quite
regular to say, you know, my family and my friends and all
(16:19):
that, but just I've collected this random sort of flow of
people that come in and out of my week and in and out of my day
and my life. And it's so they're so
interesting. They're so interesting.
So obviously my family is interesting, my friends, but you
know, I, I have sort of built time into my life now to really
(16:40):
just go and be with people that I love and find interesting.
And so I had coffee and lunch with a couple of girlfriends.
I've had these people to my house for a meal that I kind of
just randomly met and went, Geez, you're interesting.
And we've, we're getting on comeand have dinner.
So I've been doing that great. I've got, you know, my beautiful
dance partner who danced with meunder, he came up from Sydney
(17:03):
just to watch the show with me. And then he went back, you know,
just sit on the couch with me and, and the family and just
watch, you know, and I just thought life is richer for
having the time to just settle into certain conversations and
get to know people and ask questions and, and, and just
have this, this quite a beautiful tapestry of people
flowing in and around. And they don't have to become
(17:24):
your best friend who sits shoulder to shoulder with you
every day of the week. And just to, to invite different
people in and hear their storiesand hear their differing
opinions to mine, different world viewpoints to mine.
I am thankful to be able to havethose conversations and to have
this rich, interesting tapestry of people that come in and out
of of of my days. I'm thankful you're right.
(17:47):
Those conversations with people.I have a couple.
The other day actually, I went to spec savers because should
have gotten years ago. Well, I think I did.
I'm not totally. Might have been.
The supermarket, yeah, they theysaid we can't do eye tests here.
I'm like, are you spec saving? They said no.
I still don't know where I went.Where you go?
(18:09):
Talking to the lady in there, she she was, we're having great
laughs. And it was exactly what I
needed. I'd been tucked away inside
McCabe at home, editing, editing, editing.
And then I had this appointment,so I had to go to it.
And so I went along and end up laughing about, she said that I
was telling her about the nursesepisode.
I was gone. Have you listened to that?
Listened. To parts of it.
(18:30):
Oh my God, it's so funny. They're stories, they're pranks
that they would do on on the wall next.
Level. Man, Oh my God, have you, have
you heard the one about where she throws the baby?
No. So they're on night shift that
it was like 3 or 4 in the morning and they all just load
themselves up on caffeine to getthrough the night.
One of them in particular doesn't get, doesn't sleep great
(18:51):
across the day. So she was quite sleep deprived.
Yeah. And on edge.
Yeah. And they were looking after one
of the babies. They're midwives.
Yeah. Sometimes they just need mum
just needs a break. So they take the baby and
they'll just settle it for a while.
They also have this doll. Oh no, that they used for
demonstrating breastfeeding technique and that kind of
(19:12):
thing. Okay, so her friend had gone off
to go and do something else while she was settling this this
baby, which was quite an unsettled baby.
Yeah, baby had settled. She gave it back to mum and then
she went, hey, this will be funny.
So she grabbed the doll, wrappedthe doll up in the same thing
that the baby had been wrapped up in.
Then when the friend came back around, she's just, she, she
said. I, I made myself look a little
(19:32):
unhinged. I mean, I just can't do this
anymore. It's just you take her and threw
the she's coming down the ward. This other nurse has broken into
a run and did a dive to try and catch her and didn't catch it.
(19:52):
This. Doll's rolled out of the thing.
She's realised that to Doll and broken into a run chasing this
other one and the two of them. I seen it as like a Betty Hill's
cat. Couple of nurses round and
round. She's, oh, she's.
Been in therapy ever since. I said, God, every story she
told me she went, can't do that anymore.
(20:14):
Could you ever? Could you ever?
That. Just so wrong and wrong and oh.
Yeah, ourselves telling the ladyin Spec Savers about that.
And I was like, you guys do pranks in here instead because
pranks are funny or, you know, back in the day they were.
And she's like, Oh yeah, When I first started here, someone said
to me, and I wasn't normally theone that would go and do the eye
tests. And they said, oh, Mr. Sachin
(20:35):
just has just come in, can you go in?
Because I've got to go and do this.
It's all set up. All you need to do is this and
this. OK, sure.
So she goes into the room, he goes in.
He's wearing glasses, takes off his glasses.
Yeah, yeah. What they didn't tell her about
Mr. Whatever his name is. Rabbit Rabbit that's worse than
(20:58):
my shark. It is not worse than your shark
joke. I heard nothing to say to that.
I can't say a thing. That story's not gonna go.
Just like your shark. Joke that is 1.
Don't worry that ones been edited out.
(21:18):
Just know that it was really funny what you're missing out
on. Feel like that I advise you
walking through you know you walk through the shops don't
kick me in the. Face I changed notice I changed
to my right foot I was. Going to very kindly, gently.
Nudge the microphone towards you.
Right. All right.
You know, there's the hearing places and they have somebody
(21:39):
standing up the front calling out.
Yes. You want a free hearing check?
Well, do you know? You know what I do, right?
Pretend you're gonna hear them. Sorry.
No, I don't engage. I'll just I am deaf.
And then they go, I mean, you definitely need to come in here.
Excuse me? Should have had a bullhorn.
Excuse. All right, listen.
They have never spoken to me. They have never approached me.
(22:03):
The other day someone did. The other day old.
White beard over here. She.
She. She made eye contact and hello,
how are you young? Thank you.
Don't it? That's funny you.
Say just assumptions. You know the other one who makes
(22:24):
assumptions about me and doesn'tapproach me.
What? The gold people.
You know, the ones that. He is broke.
I am, yeah. Yeah.
You've got no gold. You have nothing of value.
He had gold to sell. He sold it.
Look, a few weeks ago, you look.At you I got you.
See your gold spangly bracelet there, Your gold rings, your
gold earrings, your gold necklace.
(22:44):
You. You are prime target for them as
you walk by. Because I clearly don't sell
anything. Oh, because you're wearing it
all, Yeah. Like this is my 40th birthday
present. I wear it all the time.
Why would I sell it? Do you remember when I lost this
bangle? It was the worst.
I thought I left it at the radius.
So of course you don't. Where did you listen to the
first half of the goddamn story?2nd.
(23:05):
Come. Oh, that's right.
You know I've got it back. Where'd you find it?
In a bag? Yeah.
Mine, yeah. It had been a situation where I
must have 'cause this never comes off, right.
But then on the radio it would bang on the desk.
And so every morning I would take it off and leave it there
and put it back on at the end. Yeah, I must have knocked it.
(23:28):
Oh, that's why you lathered yourhand in Vaseline each morning.
That's one of the reasons. Anyway, we haven't got time to
get into that story, and if we did, I'd have to edit it out.
Anyway, final Thankful Thursday from me is to everyone who voted
