Speaker 1: sized little nuggets of podcast are our lucky Dip episodes.
Speaker 1: So if you're new to the podcast, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1: This is just a little morsel. And then on Thursdays
Speaker 1: we also have a long reform podcast. And then every
Speaker 1: second Monday we have our iconic podcast that I do
Speaker 1: with book around chronic health.
Speaker 2: Look at us what a network. See We've got We've
Speaker 2: always got something for you, always for always you. You
Speaker 2: know what.
Speaker 1: A lot of requests. I know you're very busy, but
Speaker 1: a lot of requests come through.
Speaker 2: For It's a doozy where you deep dive.
Speaker 1: Into a fucking random story.
Speaker 2: And I really miss doing them a lot. I love them.
Speaker 2: I'm just very time poor. But I will I will.
Speaker 2: I will definitely try and try and.
Speaker 1: See how you go. Don't kill yourself over at duh.
Speaker 2: No, No, we've been inundated with messages. One message mate, Bryl.
Speaker 1: No, there's been quite a few to the point that
Speaker 1: I'm like, really.
Speaker 2: They're actually quite good. I do have to say I
Speaker 2: would listen to them if I were, well, I've got
Speaker 2: a little story, a little bit of trivia. Maybe let's say, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: it's not like you. Okay, so we all know Frank Sinatra, Yes,
Speaker 2: oh blue eyes. He was also a bit of a
Speaker 2: shit person. There's some story he was.
Speaker 1: A Mormonizer, wasn't he.
Speaker 2: He was, but like beyond that, like hit like underage
Speaker 2: girls and all that stuff, like just yeah, not.
Speaker 1: That she used to fly back then. You know, his
Speaker 1: mum was like a really full on feminist and she
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was a doctor or what
Speaker 1: she was exactly, but she performed abortions back when maybe
Speaker 1: aren't able to be. Yeah, she was like a real
Speaker 1: fucking real you know, women's rights, would go against the
Speaker 1: law and just was a real powerhouse. So the fact
Speaker 1: that he was such a womaniser is quite interesting.
Speaker 2: You know what's funny, it's so his parents were Italian immigrants,
Speaker 2: right right. Italy seems quite progressive in some ways. Just
Speaker 2: for an article come up the other day about how
Speaker 2: they're trying to push for babies to automatically take the
Speaker 2: mothers because they keep their maiden names over there, do they? Yeah,
Speaker 2: so like Mark's auntie, let's say her surname's Smith, and
Speaker 2: she marries someone whose surname's brown. The way they do
Speaker 2: it is her name would be like Melissa Smith and
Speaker 2: then they say in brown, so it's almost hyphenating or whatever.
Speaker 2: But they generally will keep their maiden names attached to
Speaker 2: their name. But yeah, they're trying to change it so
Speaker 2: that babies are born they take the mother's surname. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, that makes total sense to me.
Speaker 1: Well, of course it all like it's everything so archaic
Speaker 1: and we often don't question it.
Speaker 2: But it's like, I know, why do it?
Speaker 1: Like it? Because it was an ownership thing, like so
Speaker 1: people would know the woman belonged to that man. That's
Speaker 1: why you've got the same name.
Speaker 2: It's so weird. And as you said, you don't even
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have even really questioned it, like I didn't. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: So Frank Sinatra, funnily enough, you knew he released fifty
Speaker 2: nine studio albums and had two hundred and ninety seven singles.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and ninety seven isn't total like unbelievable, Wow,
Speaker 2: amazing yeah. Anyway, towards the end of his life, the
Speaker 2: last few years, he'd been in really shitty health because
Speaker 2: you know, he'd lived, lived any Yeah, loved a durrry,
Speaker 2: loved a bit of boot, he did it. So in
Speaker 2: February of nineteen ninety seven, he had a major heart
Speaker 2: attack and he hadn't been seen in public since, right, okay, anyway,
Speaker 2: So then on the night of May fourteenth, nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 2: so a year and a bit later, he's at home
Speaker 2: with his wife when he has like a massive heart attack. Shit,
Speaker 2: she calls nine to one one. The ambulance get there
Speaker 2: in like record time, four minutes or so, and then
Speaker 2: they get to see the Sinai hospital like in unprecedented time.
Speaker 2: The reason that they got there so quick and got
Speaker 2: to the hospital so quick is because also on May fourteenth,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight, was the season finale of Seinfeld. No. Yes,
Speaker 2: so everybody there was no traffic on the road. My god,
Speaker 2: everyone was inside watching the season finale. That is amazing, okay.
Speaker 2: And also Frank's daughter Nancy Sinatra, these boots are made for.
Speaker 1: Did she sing that song?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh no? Was that her?
Speaker 1: No? That was Jessica.
Speaker 2: No, but anyway, so his daughter Nancy was meant to
Speaker 2: go and visit him earlier that day, but she got
Speaker 2: stuck in a vortex of watching Seinfeld reruns before the
Speaker 2: finale was going to be, so she never got there
Speaker 2: to see him, and she only learned of her dad's
Speaker 2: death after the episode had finished, because he did end
Speaker 2: up going on to die. They kept him alive for
Speaker 2: about an hour and then he died.
Speaker 1: And so did they go, like, just out of courtesy, go, well,
Speaker 1: we know what, Nancy's a mad Seinfeld fan. Let's call
Speaker 1: her after the episode finishes.
Speaker 2: No, but I think I think it was because it
Speaker 2: was an hour right, like the episode had finished before
Speaker 2: he'd actually died, and also the timing.
Speaker 1: Like two tragic events on the same day. I ever
Speaker 1: think I saw the Seinfeld ending, but apparently it was
Speaker 1: the biggest fucking stoinker of all time.
Speaker 2: I think they're bringing it back. I think Jerry Seinfeld
Speaker 2: said something I think a few months ago that's sort
Speaker 2: of they're going to start Seinfeld again. That yeah, he
Speaker 2: said something. I know.
Speaker 1: I know, God, it's risky, it's too risky. Although Kirby
Speaker 1: your enthusiasm. Larry David, who was the creator of Seinfeld
Speaker 1: with Seinfeld who didn't wasn't involved in the last episode
Speaker 1: because that part of his stuff on Larry Day on
Speaker 1: Kirby Your Enthusiasm was blatantly saying that he wasn't a
Speaker 1: part of that shit show. But he's the fucking funniest
Speaker 1: and is the funniest show. I love it so much.
Speaker 1: I think I would appreciate Seinfeld more now than I
Speaker 1: would back when it was on. I didn't really get
Speaker 1: it then. On a side note, just to up myself,
Speaker 1: you know how many people have said that I remind
Speaker 1: them of a Lane Really. Yeah, it was about to
Speaker 1: say book wise, but personality wise, Like I worked with
Speaker 1: a couple of people who are like, I.
Speaker 2: Cannot believe it.
Speaker 1: I think it's because their thing was they would pick
Speaker 1: up on the tiniest detail of something. And yes, and
Speaker 1: I think I tend to do that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I would love to see her in that role again.
Speaker 2: I love her so much, Julia Luis Dreyfus. She's like
Speaker 2: a genius to me. Yeah, yeah, well exactly, I can
Speaker 2: see the correlation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: But I know, of course, a couple of other quick things.
Speaker 2: So you know that the night after Sinatra's death. The
Speaker 2: lights on the Empire State Building, they turned them blue,
Speaker 2: and then they dimmed all the lights I think for
Speaker 2: the first time on the Las Vegas Strip, and for
Speaker 2: one minute they stopped all the slot machines. And yeah,
Speaker 2: Mark's cousin was there at the time, and when she
Speaker 2: came back, she was like, it was the most fucking
Speaker 2: eerie thing ever. She said, It's like all the sound,
Speaker 2: all the whatever that's always happening in Vegas. She said,
Speaker 2: it was like every sign quiet.
Speaker 1: That gives me goosebumps, meeting being in Crown Casino in Melbourne.
Speaker 1: And if that was all quite how eerie that would
Speaker 1: be let alone Vagus you know.
Speaker 2: Same And Seinfeld was the fourth most watched series finale
Speaker 2: of all time. I'm like, I would have for sure
Speaker 2: thought it was the number one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what else is there?
Speaker 2: You know what the top three are? I'll go from three.
Speaker 2: Three is the Fugitive. I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2: Number two was cheese, Okay, Yeah, Number one was what
Speaker 2: we would have thought as kids, was the worst show ever.
Speaker 1: Don't say mash mash just.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was all the green, oh so much green,
Speaker 2: so much cark.
