Speaker 3 (01:20):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
So he's on the show with us after seven thirty
the Top Sex on the way. We've got a new
weather super computer, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Super computer super that one of the top six things
the supercomputer, this weather super computer can predict.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Is it telling us that all this week it's rubbish,
that's cramp its Apparently it is going to be better
for long term fore course.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, they're going to be predicted with the so it
can predict a five day forecast as well as the
current two day forecast, which I mean it's a double
a book really always two days about it?

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, right, okay, yeah, the Top six coming up next
on the show. Though, we celebrated on Friday the year
anniversary of the fire truck we name that's right, Dame
Judy Drench. Yes, well, there has been a naming competition
in the UK to name a train that clears leaves
off the track. Oh great, that's right. Now there was
a little shortlist and a name has been sailed on

(02:14):
it and I quite like it.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
We will discuss next playboard and Hailey.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Now the UK has run a competition to name a
train and we just we said before we just Friday
celebrated the one year anniversary of Dame Judy Drinks in
a delicious character. They did see a delicious cake. You're
a way delicious weird cake yesterday to did you he
missed out great cake yesterday? Yeah, yes, oil orange and apple.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
This is the problem.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's the problem with being at work every single day
is I have to eat all the cake.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yea, the cake you're blowing out. We take the old
day off. Dodged some of these cakes, at least some
of them.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, the UK, I have, i'd say, would be the prominent,
the prominent naming country.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Right when it comes to boat Face, the original you know,
hijacking of a naming.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's it's impossible now to name anything without micface yea, yeah,
yeah yeah, and the name of it Mike Face yeah
being in there, because did Sydney try to do this
and they that got hijacked with boat face as well.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, I name some boats.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, the Britain's rail network, it's twenty thousand miles and
apparently fifty five hundred billion leaves each year they have
to deal with because they know that.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
How they I don't know who's counting those jobs that
count billion leaves.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
I mean maybe they just count one tree's leaves and
then and then I'm imagining this mass.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Maybe there's a weight thing. Yeah, as much the clearing
as that.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, and obviously that becomes difficult for trains to navigate,
and they're going into autumn. So they have a brand
new leaf busting train. Just looks like a normal train,
to be honest, I don't know what's different about this.
How does it some kind of big scoop on the
front of it?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
But look some sort of blower? Does it have some
sort of blower or a vacuum? Does it toet something
in a.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, like an' I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
It.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Just the story is more about the train being named, right,
So they ran a short list of names. They asked
for some suggestions for this new name. Some of them
that we use that weren't the winners leaf for weapon, leaf,
love that love that pulp friction.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Not as good as good and the autumn avinger, but
the winner of the leaf busting train control leaf. It's
a little bit nerdy, but it's good. It's good.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
It's good.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
I really like that.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I mean it doesn't roll off the tongue. In terms
of a name, yeah, Dave Judy trench for example, that
rolls off the target.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Really does control leaf. It is very good.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, does it work.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I've googled how it works, AI, how it works? Paining
for it.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
The leaves fall on the track, they get crushed by
the train wheels and turke. It turn into a slippery
teflon like coding, meaning that when they try to break
the trains just skid straight through the station. Scared.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah they scared. Good skidding, Let's go.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
And they interfere with signaling systems, so it goes through.
It's got high pressure water blasts blasts the leaf, mulster
and residue off the railhead, sometimes up to thirty six
thousand pers that's a big pier.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
S I.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, that's a big pierce. I. Then after cleaning it'll
it'll spray. A gel like mixture called sand ite was
a mixture of sand aluminium and.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Adhesive like a grippy gluey paste.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, and then that coats the rail and that makes
it for better gripping, and in some regions mechanical brushes
or grinders remove the feat a residure if needed.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Right leaves have sitting on the train.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Amazing dedicated round here treatment trains, the r h t
t's converted freight trains carrying water tanks, high precireating. You're
in sand eyed applicats. Do you think that's what control
deleaf is. Yeah, yep, it is yeah, cool, very cool.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah wow, there'd be some train nuts that are just
loving these facts.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Look then my end of the spectrums tinging. You like trains,
don't you?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, I will say so. I don't use the train
system very much because it doesn't go out to my house.
But even don't want to train, I'm like, this is special.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
I should go.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
We've got tracks.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah way, yeah, one day you are like one day, man,
this is pretty much.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I can catch the train to work. If the train work.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
You couldn't. You couldn't. They don't say it needs to
be twenty four hours a day. Am I asking to
much news?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Four am train that'll be fun plays ms Fletched Vorn
and Hailey from.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
The Fletchvorn and Haley group chat. This is the top six.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Guys. There's a weather supercomputer's and they're saying one of
the many things that's going to be able to do
is predict five days out as well as the current
one can do two. So that's that's two and a
half times. It's good.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's good because you know when you've got an event
on or something, you just check the weather all the time,
and every day it's every like half an hour it's changing. Yeah,
good for good for weddings.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
So play Fletch, Thorne and Tailey.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
You may remember and you can find it in our
podcast feed. We did a great interview with Johan Hari,
who is an amazing journalist. Is written a bunch of
books and the one I'm reading at the moment called
Stolen Focus on why we can't concentrate?

Speaker 3 (12:32):
How far through stolen focus?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Can I say?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
The one I'm doing at the moment is it's in
the bedside table, okay, and I opened it up the
other day to find.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Something else in there, okay, and.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Focus.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, it stole my focus. Something else stole my focus.
But he clocked the book.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's the irony about their book is I read that
book as well, but it took me a while, I know,
because you do. You get distracted by things. No, well,
we're not the only ones.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
It was a survey out of Britain in looking at
how long our attention span is lasting on things like TV,
movies and book reading. Book reading being the worst. We well,
the participants on average could only read for fourteen minutes,
which kind of came in at about one chapter for

(13:20):
the average reader. Carwen's laughing that's quite slow.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, that's quite a slow read. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I'm definitely a slow reading because that thing you can
read fast.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Do you do that thing where you just in your
mind once and then you're like, how many sentences back
to two pages in your lap? Yeah? I have not
been ingesting this.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah. Or if you lose your little flappy bit of
where you're up to, or your bookmark falls out and
you're scanning through and you're like, don't remember that, and
then you get your bait. You're like, but I do
remember the part after that part?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, like driving long distance and then you just get
there and you're there. I don't remember at all going through.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Fourteen minutes fourteen minutes before losing concentration. How long, on
average would you read a day, Carwen Carwin reads on
Instagram by the way for a book recommendations.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, t I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
I feel like probably I read at least one hundred
pages a day.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
But it would but it would fary a Yeah, definitely, yeah,
depending on how much I have to work for this job.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Got away? Do you walk and read?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I sit on my little exercise bike and read. I
see people walking and reading and we're like wild I know.
I mean, I guess there's no different than being on
your phone.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, so fourteen minutes for reading TV and film not
not as good. Before we're getting distracted and either like
packing up our phones and doing something else fifteen minutes, right,
because I love being on my phone while watching it.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
That's I've been finding it hard to watch Spanish shows
with subtitles like money, Heist th and that, like, because
you're just like, oh, you miss a whole scene and
you have.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
To go back.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah, there are some movies you're like, damn, I'm not
gonna be able to be on my phone for this,
so I'll just like delay watching it.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Also basic daily task. Our attention span is not doing well.
Virtual work calls eleven minutes, minutes and then we're bored.
Face to face meetings thirteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Then we're bored. We go for so many long meetings
five minutes, five minutes, tell me everything I need to know, quick.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Boom, Writing important emails twelve minutes. I mean, I'm not
running emails for twelve minutes life, but just family gatherings
we're bored fourteen minutes and listen to podcasts.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
We've sort of done it.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
A little, did you.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I saw Reese Wetherspoon did an interview and she was
talking about like what the future of movies will be
because we can't be bothered watching.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I've got kids and they don't even watch movies. Oh
like too long?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
If podcast is only eleven minutes, what are we doing?
Aren't we past eleven minutes?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
And today's podcast we could just stop. But the live
listener kind of drops in and out.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, that's true. But the podcast people that they'll probably
listen to, we.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Make for listener.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Now.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
I love listening to a long podcast, so do I.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
And if it's a good one, and you then and
you can't stop listening.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I watched a two hour forty movie last night, which
how is one battle after another?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I want to see? This is Leonardo DiCaprio movie.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's really good, And it was one of those movies
I was a little bit like, well, for a start,
it was going to be a later night because it's
a long movie. But I was like, also, like that's
a long movie. Yeah, but it was good. When I
was one of those ones, I didn't feel like two
hours for you. Yeah, when I'm chising.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
It wouldn't be able to watch something for that long,
Nah'd be like, why is the phone on the side?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Play ms Fletchborne and Haley play z ms Fletchboorde and well.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Research out of the UK has found when it comes
to gen Z's millennials, who else gen x and boomers. Yeah,
it's the the gen Z's having listicks in the grandparents
and the boomers.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
They're at the bottom of all generations, so.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
That that just do you think it's a hangover from
COVID They stayed inside.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
So they reckon as it's mostly because a lot of
them still live at home and until later, so you.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Can't because nowhere to go. But gen Z's would be
living at home with gin xes.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Gen Z's living years.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
And so gen Xes in that house they're having more
six so they're not put off having six with your
kids still living at home, but the kids aren't having six.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Maybe maybe they're waiting until everyone's out of the house.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Because you know, my parents are coming home soon and
they're going to be with me for a bit, and
I'm like my mom said to me, she was like,
it goes both ways.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
When we were talking.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
About how we might want to navigate the next stages,
of life.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Okay, wow, have you misconstrued that as your mum telling
you she's bisexual?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
No, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
When I said something about like what if I wanted
to have a little date, and she said, well that
goes both ways.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Wait, you're going to be at opposite ends of the
house though, right, No, it was a small house in
the room that nick to each other. No no, no,
naous as lounge fornicators.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
You're going to have the front room.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Me it's tiny, absolutely not. That's the guest bourdoir. Well,
maybe that's so you can have dates over.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Oh no, no, that could be their hanky panky room,
hank bank.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Room, share a hanky panky rount with my anyway.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, well gen Z's for gen Z's it worked.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Out to be thirty six times a year, the equivalent
of every ten days for the grandparents, the boomers, those
age sixty one to seventy nine, saying they shake the
sheets forty seven times a year for them, seven times
a year for them, gin X, they're more than once

(18:45):
a week clocking and it's sixty two times a year.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Ah yeah, gen X, yeah, gen it's a week.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, but there would be you have a mixture there
of your long terms kind of letting down the numbers, say,
is cranking them right back?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, and you know those rest times go wild things
wrapping through the rest time.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
But that's that's even older with boomers now, yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, you know it's millennials health and we millennials humpins.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
It's just hard to get out of the skinny jeans,
you know.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, it's hard to peel them off. Corn down to
the knees. Yeah, you know what I mean, it's sort
of frostis rub Yeah, not sure on the millennial.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I can't find the millennials stick out bother been left
out of the two. Insecure again, yeah you know we
were those nineties. Yeah, yeah, we look in the mirror
and we're nothing but disappointed with what we've got, even
if we're in great shape.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Show some of my naked body. Absolutely not. Why how
would they want to see that?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Okay, so millennials twenty seven to forty three, they were
found to get racist seventy three times a year, or
once every five days, so they actually take it out.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
So it goes millennial gin.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Its boomers gen z gin z. But you would think
gen Z would be like up there, like you'd be
like one or two, right, but you're the hottest you're
ever gonna be.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, remember that, Remember that, ginny.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Remember that, well may be but the perkiest. Yeah, let
me tell you that, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, Ginz. I'll also say your metabolism is on your
side right now. Yeah, soon it won't be.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
That's crazy because I can eat like whatever I want
and like and you never put on way.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
It's just not a saying you're gonna be able to
keep saying forever you just wait, you wait it ms
flinch vorn and hangry, silly little pools.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
It is so silly, silly, silly.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
That silltle pool silly poo, silly little silly.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's a little pole. After trying on clothes in a store,
what do you do with the items you don't want
to buy?

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Options three?

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Hang them, will, put them on the reject rack, give
them to one of the retails start excuse me, oh
dear retail polon in here. We've got some postles and pollen.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Count I did bring in a pine tree. Apologize, yeah, sorry, unacceptable.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Give them to one of the retail stuff or leave
them in the changing room. The results are overwhelmingly rehang
them and put them on the reject right six percent.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, reject rack because they You're right, Haley, they don't
like you hanging them.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Don't take them back into the store. No, and rehang
on the thing reject recks. Fine, because then we'll go and.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
We'll what if there's no reject rack. Just leave them
in the hanging on the hook, right, yeah, So not
in a heap on the floor that you've stood on
with your.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Shoes and right.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
You know that's not good. Toss like I'm your mother.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Give them to one of the restar. Retail stuff was
a twelve percent, which is what I do. I just
take them back to the counter. But I don't want these.
I want these ones I want, yeah, per or leave
them in the changing room.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
That was three percent. Yeah, I don't do that. Definitely
don't do that.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Says none of the above. I put the back where
I found them because I'm a decent human being.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, hang it like a question mark, And it might
be you might hung it the wrong way round, it
might be a crinkled They might need to do one
of those. You might not have put the little straps on,
you know.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
What I mean. No, no, no, you've got you've got
to sort it out. It's going to be a crinkle. Rebecca,
after working miniears in retail, I always rehang and put
in the reject rack or back in the correct place.
It's so iffing rude when people just leave clothes in
the changing rooms. It's so disrespectful when they leave them
on the floor. Oh the never leave them on the floor.
But there's someone who works in retail that she rehangs
because she knows how to hang and fault because she knows.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, oh, I got the fold. When you pick up
a T shirt and you just it's nicely folded and
you're like, oh, it's too boxy, or and then you
just kind of roughly and you just like I tried.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Letti says, leaving them in the changing room is dog behavior.
Behavior in capitals. I was joking, never done. Changing rooms
aren't a right. We don't have to have them respect
retail stuff and have.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
To bring your ship out.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Wow, Wow, she's angry. I bring my partner along and
get them to put the clothes back on the hangers
for me or nice.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
And I think you've done that, Fletch.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
When I was shopped with you, you'd hand me the reject Yeah,
you deal with that retail, your next retailer.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
You're a yeah, because you're a professional. You know what
you're doing. I know how to fold a.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Teach rehang on reject rack. Unless the staff member sees here,
I'll take those. You are heathen if you leave them
in the changing rooms.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Wow, okay, we're really learning here. But I think if
there's no reject rack and the staff are busy, then
you've got to leave them in the somewhere, somewhere, We
take them to the counter something. Yeah, I don't want me.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Lizzy says, I worked in retire Listy MacGuire Listen maguire
as a team Lizzie McGuire, Yeah, I worked in retail
for fifteen years. I find myself even reorganizing the shoves
and came out, Oh yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Good luck to you. There's a lot of stuff there.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, it's a crazy and came out Joe said to
someone who works in retail, everyone is lying. They leave
them in a messy pile on the floor.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
She's she's calling out the three percent there that actually
are telling the truth. And maybe there's another ten or
fifteen and the seventy percent that are lying.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, Stephanie said, always reject rag. But if there's no
reject rag, I'm leaving them in the changing room room
because I don't work at the store, and I'm not
putting them away with my sloppy hanging. Yeah, exactly, because
the two other options mean mad disrespects is Sarah. Plus,
I don't need some gen z glass on some ploy. No,
my old ass can't fit into half the hout of
in the changing room with me, the shame.

Speaker 2 (24:40):

If so, I'll take the duds up to the counter
and say I don't want these. If not, then I'll
put them on the reject you meta, Yeah, same meto,
Colin Firth, Not Colin Farrell, Me too, Colin fair So
we asked you today Foracillita polaf to try and unclothes

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Well. Very privileged to be joined on the phone by
somebody who made me cry on a treadmill at the
gym while I was watching the Netflix version of his book,
Boy Swallow's Universe.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Trend.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
I was late to the party watching this and then
reading it afterwards. But thank you so much for your work.
There was Boyswallow's Universe.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
That is the sweetest thing. You were crying on a treadmill.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
Thank you And like, that's mate, that's the story of
my life. I was put on this sort of planet
to write that book, so I'm so glad you found it.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Obviously, though, do you think it's odd that Vaughan watches
Netflix shows while he's running on a treadmill?

Speaker 7 (36:39):
Mate, what you want is high emotion in your audience.
So if Vaughn is really tapping into that energetic side
of himself while he's feeling those deep emotions that that
could not be a better place to consume.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Boyce Swallows Universe.

Speaker 7 (36:54):
There's a lot of running in it too, Guys like,
it's yeah, it is. The kid spends half the show running,
so it's quite a aropriate forms.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Because and the best note is you're sweating, so it's
not super obvious that it's crying and you're already breathing
quite heavily, so they're like sods and stuff can be
disguised huffing and puffing. It's I love that.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Because people see, to me, you're like this show because
they know I get emotional when especially when as like
a parent child relationship, those ones really God And because
of the relationship I've kind of got with my appearances
of growing older and the relationship I've got with my daughters,
I saw it from both sides and then like, wow,
Felix who plays the young dude, we're the fine. That

(37:37):
kid that that that next level.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
That kid will either be the next leg spin bowler
for the Australian cricket team or he'll be Daniel day
Lewis like he actually wants to be.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
He always wanted to be Shane Warn.

Speaker 7 (37:51):
He always wanted to be Shane Warn and wow, And
I said, Felix, I know.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
You're and he's a brilliant leg spin bowler.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
But I said, mate, you're actually really gifted, like you
might want to really think about it. And he sort
of shrugged his shoulder. He's like, all right, I'll give it.
I'll give it some thought. That's him like that, that
boy you see, Vaughan is is.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
The real deal. He's the he's the sweetest kid.

Speaker 7 (38:13):
And he's sort of like family to me now, that kid.
And we finished that shoot and I handed him a
I somehow unbelievably a quiet assigned cricket ball by Shane Warner.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
I gave it to him. Oh wow, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
It was just such a sweet mix of kind of
everything that kid loves.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Was Warning still with us when you guys finished filming
on that or.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
He was gone, mate, he was gone.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
So like that that really like Felix was crushed by that,
Like Philip that's his that was his hero.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
That was his absolute hero.

Speaker 7 (38:45):
And but he's he's the sweetest, like he carried the weight,
you know, the content of that show, Like it's really
it's really heavy, and he would come up to me
and guys, you're getting me emotional. Actually that he would
come up to me and he'd.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Do a scene.

Speaker 7 (38:59):
He goes, Hey Trent, I'm gonna get emotional saying go
this is this is. He was thirteen at the time,
Hey Trent, did that really happen to you? And I'd
go like, oh, it actually did Felix that one that
one did, And he like put a hand on.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
My shoulder and he was like comfaning me. You know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
It was meant to I'm bloody forty six years old
and I'm like, hey mate, I'm meant to be comforting you.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
You know.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
He's a very swolly kid. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Wow, so love stories that, Yeah, of yours. This This
isn't a Netflix show yet, but it is a stage show.
So what what kind of stage show was it?

Speaker 6 (39:34):
It recreates the thing I did.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Guys, I had a nineteen seventies Olivetti typewriter and I
just wanted to talk to something.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
It.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
It actually all came out of Boycefellow's universe. To be honest,
I wanted to get out of my head because it's
so personal that Boycefallow's universe story. I'm a journalist at
you know, by trade, and I wanted to get out on.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
The street and just talk to strangers again.

Speaker 7 (39:55):
And I've been gifted this Olivetti typewriter that was bequeath
to me by my best mate's mum on her deskbed.
And I said to my mate, I want to go
sit with that typewriter on the corner of Albert Madelaide
Streets in Brisbane, which is just the busiest street in
my hometown. And I sat there for two months with
a typewriter, asking strangers to tell me love stories.

Speaker 6 (40:17):
So basically I.

Speaker 7 (40:18):
Had a sign saying sentimental writer collecting love stories, do
you have one to share?

Speaker 6 (40:22):
And honestly, two hundred.

Speaker 7 (40:24):
Strangers, yeah, they just stopped and they told me the
deepest things. I'm not talking sheese bore love stories. I'm
talking romantic ones, but i'm talking deep grieving ones. I'm
talking ones of love gone wrong and love missed and well,
love of pets, love of music, love of.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
You know, just people they couldn't get back.

Speaker 7 (40:46):
And then I turn that all into a book, and
now we've turned it all into a stage play. So
what it is is there's this writer character who's sitting
We recreate that corner guys in the play, So we
take the audience to that corner. The swirling city is
moving around this writer and all these wondrous stories are happening.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
Bus Bus.

Speaker 7 (41:06):
The thing we explore in the play, which is kind
of true, is like, what kind of troubled man sits
for two months on the corner of the city trying
to ask people about love? And of course, you know
that was solved by my amazing wife Fiona. She's like,
why don't we go a bit deeper into kind of
what motivates a guy to do that? And of course

(41:27):
the great lesson I was getting, the big secret of
which I never put into the book, was I was
there to kind of learn a few things about my
own marriage. I've been married for well, I've been with
my wife for twenty five years, and I'd probably forgotten
to remember a few powerful things about love myself, and
I learned them on that corner.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
And that's what the plays about.

Speaker 7 (41:46):
Yeah, we see that journey for this writer guy, and
it's just like he makes all these and Vaughn like
there's boysfballers, universe stuff in it. It's what happens to
that twenty year old kid by the end of that story,
and what happens to a kid like that carries all
that stuff and when he becomes forty six, you know,
just because you write a book about it and Netflix
makes a show, you know, it doesn't mean all that

(42:07):
stuff leaves you. And and that's what this play addresses.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Wow, so it sounds like you want to see it

in the entrance. It's a put a chicken like a
baby coach and it's with the coats.

Well, I suppose that's a nice comfortable thing for the
baby to sleep. And there's like little tubes of baby food.
Their little tubes of baby Are you sure you yeah?
But again, the baby's going to be younger than sort
of solid. So I think it's gonna be situation. They're
not safe.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
The baby is too free. Her husband thinks, here coming
to fresh Oh well, I know.

Speaker 3 (44:45):

I don't think we should be planning Subury concert. It's okay,
the baby love the Lame Way.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
She has just message front pack this baby okay, even
though I find it weird that people take babies to
fee skiols and concerts. There is nothing cuter than a
baby wearing little baby in the head. Yeah, until they get,
you know, like a durry bird.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
We'll just stipulate this will be a baby baby. This
won't be sort of like a one year old baby.
This will be a baby baby.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
But this will be literally could still smell them it's here.
It will be like wobbly bobbly. Okay, Well, I'm in

Speaker 2 (45:32):

Speaker 4 (45:33):
And then and just to sort of carry on from
the bogue and the theme, you know, next year, planning
on going back over to see my parents who live
over in Europe, and I realized that when I land,
one of my favorite bands of all time, System of Down,
are playing in Paris the night before, right, and I
was like, damn that late. The timing's all off. They
announced they were going to add a second show the

(45:56):
day after I land, So okay, Oh my god, this
is perfect dream come true. It in the queue, gone done,
sold out, sold out in seconds, and this is just
a concert that I can't miss.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
So I did something that I literally have told my
mother off for so many times. I went to via
go go.

Speaker 10 (46:13):
Oh oh.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
Haley, guys went dot com.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
And I see my mom's like, I use it all
the time when they miss out on tickets for across Yeah, right,
A bit more been fine?

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Is it a bit better over there? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Better.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I have to wait and see. I bought tickets on
via go go.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
I sort of went on the price didn't seemed too
inflated on what you.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Know, people are saying the general thing we're so like
in New Zealand, we don't have like in America. It's
terrible for ticket resale sites, like, oh I know, it's
like everything sells out in a second. All these sites
buy them up and then they sell the tickets. Yeah really, Yeah,
it's insane, outlawed that because a lot of the sites
own the resale ticket.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Yeah. It's a bit of a thing, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
But I mean, look it's it's emailed me a ticket.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
But I was I was an actual ticket or actual ticket.
I've got a pit if okay, the ticket say it?

Speaker 3 (47:17):
If I've always said PDF.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
You're an idiot?

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Why would be p D if there's no dots in
between the litter? Sorry named after Edith? Yea, yeah, she
loved it. So I've got a ticket. It has some
chicks name on it.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
What's the chicks name?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's not on this she's the one that she's the
one that bought the ticket originally.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, I guess. So she transfer it to you like
we do, said, make sure your tickets match what you ordered.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yes, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
If your name isn't printed on your tickets, you don't
have to show the price on it.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Do you know scambal? Okay? Do you know what? Though?
If you?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
If I was you, I would go. And I never
go to concerts super early. I always look up the
set times and try to go like with very little time,
I will be going, like, go so early in case
is a jupilicate of this ticket, because I'm right in
the front. Yeah, because then if you're the last person
to scan it and you're not, you're not getting in.
They're scamming you.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Must have been what's the person?

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Were you drunk?

Speaker 9 (48:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (48:24):
No, I wasn't drunk.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
I was just like, you know when you get anxiety
about missing out on a concert you really want to see. Yeah,
And I was like, well, I can't miss this. I
can't miss this. I'm never coming back to news.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
The seller had like, I don't know, I've never used
ving Go Go, but as it might trade me with
they have like, no, you don't even do anything with
the seller. It's just you.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
You select the concent and the date and everything and
the area you want to go in, and it kind
of just assigns.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
You, Oh wow, the ticket you've requested.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
I guess woman made a lot of money a lot
of money from you.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Cover that is, it's just you go by yourself. I'm
going to give a middle concert in Paris on my own,
that's truly.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
I mean I will say you're not or I'm not.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Middle crowds are definitely like nice and friendly.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
You'll make some friends while you're there, yeah, right, or
I'll get trampled and pulled out of the moshpit, or I.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Won't even get in. It's long tea. Stay tuned July
next year. Yeah, well, Haley's Viego Go ticket actually worked.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Plays z MS Fletchforne and Haley.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
So Stid Sirrandos entered the Berlin Marathon with a who
do you not know, Stid Sirrandos?

Speaker 3 (49:33):
Is that a take on Ted Sarandos, the head of Netflix.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
I wondered if if that's what he was aiming for.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Yeah, So Steed Sarandos finished the Berlin Marathon in two hours,
fifty nine minutes, thirteen seconds stub three.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
That is an insane time. Really, it's a really good
time for a marathon. That is really really good. But
of course Steed Sirandos is not stead.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
I will say Berlin's flat when people do flat marathon
or a half. On my eye, it is flat to.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
The Great Wall of China marathon and come back to me,
oh my god, my friend, did it?

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Or you climb it?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
The Auckland half is anything.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
The Harbor Bridge is steep.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
There's used to volcanic cones to conquer on the shore.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Actually, you're right, I won't do it. I was considering it.
Steed Sarandos is actually Harry Styles. He enters under a pseudonym.
I guess for like so that no one's like watching
the whole time.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Although it didn't stop people from recognizing him and taking
photos with him.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Oh no, he's in little short. We can see his bloody,
we can see his tender.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
And then I guess, I guess once word got out,
people saw his marathon BIB number and then did that
photo search the number. You can search by the number,
so you could buy his official marathon. How much to
buy the Harry Searles official Marathon? That would be amazing.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
No one looks good, No one looks good on a marathon.
He looks the best version of bad. But yeah, you're sweating.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Oh well, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
It's like by the Brandenburg Gate and that's really cool. Yeah,
I'm sure it's beautiful. But Sub three is and sad
because every time he sees photos of him, it's either
he's out on a date or with who's he worth
it the moment, Zoey Grabbst or he's running hot Cup.
He's always pepped running because he must train a lot.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
It must be his escape, you know, he's got his music,
and then then he just gets to sort of bloody.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Can I I'm just gonna work out his average pace
oh yeah, to be a good pace.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Two hours fifty nine and fourteen seconds.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
That's fifty nine minutes fourteen.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
You get to call that sub three producer carwhen does
and you did wonder this morning what he's running from? Yeah,
I mean he's always running right with like into a
different relationship. Or he should just be running into the studio.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
Yeah, that Charwen's complaint. He should be running into the studio,
our studio, running away, running here, not running away from
making music.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Run some, runsome or whatever it's called. Yeah, run some tracks.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
It's a four minute fifteen kilometer averages four minutes fifteen
a kilometer?

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Yeah, how much an hour to do five? To do
five k?

Speaker 4 (52:13):
So I would be four hours lapping you would.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
It would been quite nice because then you could see
him run past high again. How's your run going? How's
your run going?

Speaker 3 (52:24):
So he was averaging fourteen point one ks an hour? Wow?
How is what did you do? Your marathon? It three
thirty three thirty two? That's still really good.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
It was quite stoked with it. Yeah, but man, he
is honing it.

Speaker 9 (52:39):
Fang in it plays Fleshborn and Haley, play ms Fletchborne
and Haley.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
We want to take your stories and calls now about
those times when you shouldn't be alive, but you cheated death.
I've never cheated death, and it hasn't come for me.
Do you remember that time the pop plant fell out
from the apartment and I messed my face by like
I reckon, I just would have been a vegetable. Though
I don't reckon I would have been would have conked you,
It would have conked me.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Yeah, you guys, reckon. You saw a jaguar in the wild.
That's I'm not talking about the posh European sports car.
Euro sports kind drove out of the jungle. What was it?
Do you know? That was crazy? That's when I honestly
thought I was going to die that day. When it
turned around and looked at me, it would be like,
what a great way to go, Like horrendous?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Take too long?

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I listened. I went through a spate of listening to
podcasts about people who survived bear attacks.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Oh yeah, how horrible you'd rather die?

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Yeah yeah, take.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Me now and go go quit for the neck. So
the reason we bring this up today is a story
out of the UK. A elite Special Forces soldier.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Lift immediate thought about mostly just the uniform.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
So what's your job? Elite special Forces? Yeah, an Elite
Special Forces operator was left with life changing in injuries
after he was accidentally shot seven times at close range
by a fellow soldier who thought he had blanks.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
And like, I've read this story. I don't know if
the soldier was like, hey, bang bang bang bang man
meg meg meg men man.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Surely after the first one, you notice that it's gone in.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
It doesn't say what the gun was, but if it
was a like a rifle, like a machine gun, they
can fire and then I'm assuming he was wearing body armor.
He survived seven shots to the bottom.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Yeah, and he survived because the guy that was shooting it,
I don't know if he was if it was a
bit of a joke or whatever. He thought he had blanks,
but he didn't. He had live rounds, but I point
even blank.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I mean a lot of the information has been suppressed
because it's a you know, elite Special Forces. But yeah,
apparently he I mean, it's not like he is fine now.
He still has like life altering injuries. Jeezuz seven times
close range. Like, I don't know if the guy thought
it was a joke or what but that's crazy and
he's alive. How was her life?

Speaker 3 (55:10):
And there was a story the other.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Day a car rock. This is in New Zealand somewhere.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
It was in the news.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
A car rolled and it came to a stop on
its side right before a big closs and they were
just like, oh, they would have died if they went
over there. Like those kind of stories, that's what I reckon.
That's what you want to.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
Hear, you know sometimes like you do feel like it
would be like quite nice, do you know, because then
you get a whole new perspective on life.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
I feel alive, You feel alive, but did inside?

Speaker 3 (55:35):
I thought you mean have been putting into a coma
for two weeks just to have a bit of a res.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
My god saying I don't feed me that much, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Like, Yeah, I'll take the new trans the new trans
and that's a two.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Weeks just dripping me for two Yeah, give me some
tatoes as well, lift the boobs.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Feel that's another good phone on topic. What would you
have them do if you were in a car?

Speaker 11 (56:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Great, I don't think that's something you want done. But
you're kind of like putting it off I get a
for example, Yes, I haven't had to me yet because
I can't play with myself, and that seems.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Terribly You're the same age. Basically, why haven't you? You know,
it's has it hasn't happened so far, has it? So
I think you're doing it wrong.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Batter anyway, you're doing it so wrong.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
I think it wrong. Okay, I wait on hundred dollars
any somebody said, I've always did a holiday, A hospital
holiday sounds great. Do you think if we could get
to a point where it would be acceptable in society
for two weeks about and you'll leave? We just put
into a medically Injurius comba.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Oh my god, yes, please. Honestly, when I had my
shoulder operation and I woke up and it's only a
few hours, I just felt like I had the best sleep.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
I've got to book my colonoscopy today and I'm like sleepfile.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
A drug of choice.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
No, apparently the producers are saying that's really bad to say.
That is okay, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Say at it in these days. And we want to
take your stories now. You can text that nine six
nine six tell.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
Us your I shouldn't be a live story. We want
to know why shouldn't you be alive? Have you cheated death?
There was a.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Specially eial forces who was who?

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Sounds of it was hot biceps of the circumference of
my time and I've got thicky guys.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
He was shot seven times by live rounds when the
person firing the gun thought they were blank. Seven times.
Should be live?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Here are some messages. And when I was sixteen years old,
I got toxic shock syndrome from tampole.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Oh no, don't you lose limbs. You can lose your lot?
What is How does that happen?

Speaker 4 (57:49):
I think because it's like left into too long molding blood.
It's not she's moldy. It just turns toxic. You've lifted
in too long.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
But it would have to be could have been acterial.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Yeah, it's pretty bigterial bad tampon that was always legion,
like if you bought a cheaper brand day were the
ones that gave you so like that that's giving big libra.
You know enough paid for that room.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
You're saying that the bad people have put out a
rumor about the tampon. You be like you got by quality, Yeah, gotcha?
So they got toxic shot from the tampon. Ended up
in ic you for three days with kidney failure, heart failure,
and blood pressure so low I wouldn't read on the machine.
Oh my god, still here to tell the town.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Wow, I from that.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
I have a shower that's over a bathtub, and my
natural lack of coordination. I escape at least once a
day slip and break.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
You need one of those things from the hotel showers.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Yeah, the little octopus toes.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Oh my god. See they should be banned. They just
even touching them.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
And they're always brown.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
They always gone off.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Why are they always around?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Just give me a fresh one every single time?

Speaker 3 (58:59):
Did they start out as white and now they brown?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Moved through beige to brown?

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah? And also keep toilet brushes hotels.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Oh that's embarrassing, my god.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Hotels have toilet brush.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
Do you think that my ship doesn't smear the bowl
when I'm away?

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Give it a pre flush and put down a pair
of you.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
But if you and then you've got to go in
and do that thing, like if someone's in your hotel room.
Like I was in a hotel room this weekend and
then I took a pop and then there was no
thing and it's like, well, now I'm going to get
in there manually with top with toilet paper, by wet hand,
and then just be like my personal shame.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Anyway, Amy, when did you cheat death?

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Hello?

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Hello?

Speaker 11 (59:35):
When I was eight, I went next door to my
neighbor's house. They went home, and I saw my cat.

Speaker 12 (59:42):
Sitting on top of their water tank, and I thought, okay,
I'll go grab my cat.

Speaker 10 (59:47):
I climbed up.

Speaker 12 (59:48):
I sat on the lids with her, and we both
fell in.

Speaker 10 (59:52):
We're both we both survived.

Speaker 11 (59:54):
We were okay, it was only yeah, it was only
up to my knees. But then we found out later
that day that they were actually due to get their
tanks filled that morning, and the guy had called in
second set her do it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Oh my wow, he had actually turned up and filled
it up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
You might not be here today, yeah exactly. But if
you it was full, you would have floated and you
would have been able to grab the living get yourself out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I'm just loose.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:00:22):
It's pretty dark and it's there, and.

Speaker 12 (01:00:23):
The holes pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
You got a sinking child, No, I think she's heavy.
She sounds like a sinker to a heavier child.

Speaker 12 (01:00:34):
My cat might have been What did the cat do?

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Because I'd imagine even in that knee heighth water, the
cat would have been going feral.

Speaker 12 (01:00:41):
Oh, the cat went insane. So I picked her up
and I was holding her for about I think it
must have been about ten fifteen minutes, and I was
just screaming for my mum to hear me. She did eventually,
but you know this, I was next door, so it
did take a while.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
You were passing as well, stranging your sound of the
vintage where you may have got a hiding for your troubles.

Speaker 12 (01:01:05):
Oh yeah maybe maybe Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Beat you for survivor?

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Yes, how give you someone to survive?

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
About amy? Thank you some messages? And when when did
you survive? Death?

Speaker 6 (01:01:18):
Cheat? Death?

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Um? And the It was the heady days of the
nineteen nineties, and my parents would let me take the
tractor and trailer down the road paddock of our ninety
acre farm to check animals, etcetera. I shouldn't be alive
after a roly poly. Yeah, my dad was in a
car coration. Who's younger? Everyone in the car died except
for Dad. The floorboard on impact snapped and trapped his leg,
which stopped him being ejected from the car. Oh wow,

(01:01:41):
that's serious stuff. I was in London and twenty eleven
when the bombings happened. I just left King's Cross station.
I was just in the bus and the bomb exploded
in the train station. I've been in moments before. That
would be, That would be you'd never forget that? That
would be? Would that make saying change? Like live life?
You can't pay DM every day? That dam is going

(01:02:02):
to get car paid hard. I was in a car
accident that went off the room Utucka Hill and Wellington.
Car straight down the hill, but there were two small
branches that somehow managed to stop the car. Directly behind
the branches was a cliff and a straight drop down.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
That's crazy, Karen, you have missed two bombings.

Speaker 10 (01:02:23):
Yeah, yeah, I do count my blessing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Where where did this happen?

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:02:29):
Back in Sydney. I was living in Sydney in the
late seventies.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Do they have.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Bombs in the seventies going off everywhere?

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Really?

Speaker 10 (01:02:38):
Yeah? The first time I think it was the first
time was I'd just gone to make the last payment
on my lay by for my brand new Hot going
to the nightclub Hot Hot.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Seventies would have been short your cheery red.

Speaker 10 (01:02:57):
Yeah, out of it shiny plastic stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:03:04):
And the shop was on the underpass drive out of
the car pats from the Hilton Hotel, and coming out
of the top driveway was apparently some guy who was
looking into police corruption or drug dealers or something, some
crystian pastor or something, and they bombed his car and

(01:03:26):
he was killed sadly.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Right, I'm looking it up that the city Hilton Hotel
bombing thirteenth of February nineteen seventy eight. Her story checks out. Wow, okay,
And what was the other bombing? I'll google that one.

Speaker 10 (01:03:39):
I put my brand new jacket on as I came
out of this shop because I got I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Want to look hot, and you get covered in debris.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Yeah, really clear, the carton debris doesn't have the same
The jacket.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Was shredded really actually just actually like destroyed the jacket.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Oh Jesus if.

Speaker 10 (01:04:00):
I was throwing in the air and throwing across the road.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Tell us about two bombings.

Speaker 10 (01:05:08):
So so the singhead come in and see what I've
done to this place. It was one of those brick townhouses, beautiful,
and he had taken all the back wall out and
put two stories of plate glass and stunning very eighties,

(01:05:31):
lots of gray, lots of black leather. Couches went into
the loo, which was like it was like Darth Vader's bathroom.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
Very diac and imagine.

Speaker 10 (01:05:48):
And I'm looking to flush the toilet and thinking these
plumbing fixtures. I've never seen anything like this. I think
this is the thing to touch.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
Ye.

Speaker 10 (01:05:58):
I touched this metal plate on the wall and was
thrown through the air. The toilet flew off the ground
at some fine I thought, oh my god, and then
realized I couldn't hear anything renovated.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Was it the bomb.

Speaker 10 (01:06:23):
Stagged out of the bathroom, saw my friend on the
floor with the plate, glass just raining down, shouts of
glass on him.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
What what was this? Bomb? Was a bomb in the toilet?

Speaker 10 (01:06:36):
The bomb was a street away at the Croatian Social Center.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
Croatian Social.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
The plate didn't mean it was just just.

Speaker 10 (01:06:51):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
It was just the timing of you touching the plate. Yep,
it was a block.

Speaker 10 (01:06:56):
Away completely, but I kept thinking, oh my god, I've
done this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
You've just literally blown up the toilets. So you've been
in two bomb blasts and you've cheated death twice.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Karen, oh, multiple times.

crash uts earthquake.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
But they had a meeting, they got canceled, don't come.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
MS fletched Vaughn and Haley.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Plays fleshed one and Haley.

Speaker 8 (01:08:00):
Fact of the Day, Day Day, day day dood.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
It's units of measurements specific to an item week At
Fact of the Day, yesterday we learned about a furkin
of butter and a garn of butter.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Oh a furkin?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
How much is a furkin?

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Is the order of a barrel?

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
About twenty five kilograms in your modern weight of butter.
A lot of butter.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
We did butter. That's about three point six.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Great occasion we did that yesterday. Move on, I'm just
recapping HANDI.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Wasn't here, I wasn't listening. I didn't know what.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Originally Monday was going to be the day I talked
about whan, but then I moved whan to today because
I thought you'd like that. I wan you wan, Well,
Today's specific measurements to do with whan I come to
us from the Champagne and Bordeaux. Oh yeah, produces and
the agent of the nineteenth century, they began giving biblical
names to large format bottles. Was a marketing thing to

(01:08:59):
sound grand partly due to a nod the traditional grandeur
associated with kings. So they had a Duraboem, which is
named after the first king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
The size varies, but basically it was if it was champagne,
it was a three letter bottle of champagne.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
And three leaders. Yeah, it's perfect for a night.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
My ice bucket's not big enough for that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
No, just get one of those tubs that they wash
your toddler and werehouse tubs. Yeah, the big tubs, yeah,
or a minor ten bucket will do.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Yeah, big yeah, orange montor ten bucket, yeah, because if
you're buying a three liter bottle of champagne, you're definitely
gonna have a bright orange bucket. Nothing says Duraboem like
a big orange motor ten bucket. So it was a
four letter for a champagne and five letters if it
was Bordeaux, more of a red wine. How are you
even checking that up? When it's heavy, like when it's

(01:09:52):
it's probably another couple of kg's in the bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
It's manageable to hold, but it's it's a bit awkward
and it's weir turning into a slim clos well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
It gets it gets even crazier because the next bottle
up size was Methazula, named for the longest lived figure
in the Bible. Methiszula lived for nine hundred and sixty
nine years. If you're familiar with the bad of course
it did. Yeah, you're right. Actually it was gender fluid.
It was a day okay, right, okay, And it was

(01:10:20):
a six leader bottle of wine. Goodness me six leader
bottle of wine. Wow. Now the next one named after
the almighty King of Babylon, neb you the rivers, Well,
it was a river of wine because it was fifteen leaders.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
It was he called on the twenty modern bottles.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Fifteen leaders at this point, and it was a neb you, nebun.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
You're gonna need a little goon tap on that. Do
you need a little tap on the you get one
of those beer towers.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Yeah. A hack online, This could be Shannon's hack going
into summer. Someone got a watermelon yeap, slice the top off,
put on a stick, an immersion blender, a stick blender in,
mixed up all the watermelon thing, glugged in a bottle
of tequila, and then banged a tap in the bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Of the watermelon. Yeah, watermelon producer shabb has raised a
really good point. This is good for a bayo because
you get one.

Speaker 3 (01:11:12):
Corkage one A lot of places that just perser. Now
he'd do a corkage charge purpse per person. Yeah, because
they know that they had wine. Yeah, right, per person,
not per bottle. They found a way around, asked a
cast I take it. I take a one lead of
vodka and from wine to a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Do you laugh?

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
But we've been to a so. Another unit for measuring
alcohol is a word that appears in English in the
late fifteen hundreds. It originally meant a small wooden cup
or mug, often used in taverns, but it was a noggin.
So yeah, the amount of how to quarter pint would
be a noggin. You'd say a nogin of whiskey, please,

(01:11:57):
and you would get a quarter pint of it. Also,
no of use your no, he did, because there was
a rounded cup that looked like a head looked like
a So today's fact to the day is Wan came
in massive bottles named after biblical figures, and you could
order a nogative spirits.

Speaker 8 (01:12:16):
Fact of the day, Day Day, Day Day.

Speaker 9 (01:12:23):
Did zid ms Fletchborne and Hailey Creed.

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
Bratton is performing at SkyCity on Wednesday, the first of
October and Night of Comedy in Music. And you probably
our listeners know him best from the Office, the US
version of the Office, and he's on the zoom with
us now create Hello.

Speaker 5 (01:12:47):
Hello, gentlemen, let's how are you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Doing very well?

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Good, very well.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
Now you are sort of the unseen half of one
of the most memorable moments of the Office. The corporate
wants you to tell a difference between those two pictures.
And there's at least seven which is becoming a name
that you were there for. Your character was to be
distracted from causing too much cast in office? What is
that like? Every time you see that online or it's referenced,
I mean your characters.

Speaker 13 (01:13:14):
It ship reminds me that I got by with so
much I never had to really work. I got caught
because I wasn't doing my job, and we might remind
you everybody out there, do your job.

Speaker 5 (01:13:23):
Folks, or don't end up like Creed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
It's it's it's What was it like being part of
the US Office, which is one of the most streamed
shows of all time? Is it daily recognition on the streets?

Speaker 13 (01:13:38):
Uh, it's not that much. People kind of get out
of their way when they see me. You know, when
they meet me, they're actually disappointed or relieve.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
It's one of the two.

Speaker 6 (01:13:50):
So they do it.

Speaker 13 (01:13:50):
They're kind of they're leary because I went around with
blood coming off my body. I was stealing things from people,
obviously killed people. So you know, they don't want to
they don't want to meet me, guys.

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
So what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
What is what is your show like? What are you covering?
Because it's it's kind of it's music and standing and
stories of your time.

Speaker 13 (01:14:12):
Yeah, I mean it's by the way, fans, it's safe
to see me there because you'll be away, there'll be
a stage separated. I'm not closing enough to get you
with a knife or anything, so that that's good.

Speaker 5 (01:14:23):
Well, don't really stand up.

Speaker 13 (01:14:25):
I wouldn't go to do a show without my guitar,
so and it's really not Uh, that's not that funny.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Really, I just kind of tell these stories. I ramble on.

Speaker 13 (01:14:39):
There's no there's no payoff, there's no conclusions in any
of these stories.

Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
I look somethings.

Speaker 13 (01:14:44):
I'll come out and say half of a joke and
walk off to the side of the stage and then
peek out and see if the people are still interested
or it's still there. Then I'll come out and finish
the joke.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
On stage version of this radio show, which often does.

Speaker 5 (01:14:58):
I can see you guys are phoning it in right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Always sonny, always funny. So, UH, tell us more about
your your life as a musician, because you were in
like a fairly large folk pop group back in the sixties.

Speaker 13 (01:15:12):
Yeah, in the in the late sixties, I had Uh
was a drama drama major in college.

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
So after college I went to Europe and met two guys.

Speaker 13 (01:15:22):
I was with the folk trio in Europe for over
two years, playing all over all over Europe and North Africa,
Middle East, you know, back in the East East, Germany,
Red Kirt Curtain countries at that time. Then the grassroots
started in the your Age of Summer of Love six
late sixties, and then we had lip for to day

(01:15:45):
went to number five, No made that confession went to
number five, that's right, and then LI for today, Uh
was that was the big song. Played guitar and sang
harmony on that. So we just turned around all over
the place.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:15:57):
And that was an amazing time. And I thought, this
is my mid twenties, and I thought, well, this is
pretty easy.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
I just started out here. I had a big rock star,
and then.

Speaker 13 (01:16:05):
Twenty five years after the band is over, I straggled
in them just turning sixty and I get on the office.
So used to say, I had to keep my nose
to the grindstone and keep a positive attitude or I
could have you fallen by the wayside.

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
I was thinking that it's like you've got these two
like peaks of fame and completely different times, Like how
did you find that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Because I guess what's the sixties seventies the is no
social media, whereas no at the height of the office
fight and this social media people could be out with
a camera seeing you in public.

Speaker 13 (01:16:46):
Well, the thing is that I had I was in
a big hit group, but it was just the name
of the group and they could see what we looked
like on an album. But still if you're walking in
New York City or San Francisco or LA It's not
like people are gonna go oh. But when the Office hit, yeah,
then that was that was a hole. That's that's the
you're you made a mark in the zeitgeist for that show.

Speaker 5 (01:17:09):
So that was crazy.

Speaker 13 (01:17:11):
And uh yeah, I'm living in a in a compound
now with racial I was.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
Gonna say, yeah, your anonymity was gone gone, yeah, absolutely gone.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
Yeah, So like what so you were sixty when you
started the Office. There's nearly twenty years ago, so like,
what what what's the next chapter of your life?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Hold more more?

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Touring these sorts of shows.

Speaker 13 (01:17:30):
I'm two and as you'll see on stage, I'm still
I'm still got it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
You know, I.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Cannot believe you're ready to what is a secret to
your youthful look Jin Singh suppositories that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):

Snapper didn't like him in the beginning, but that kind
of look forward to it.
