1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: The Fitzi and Whipper podcast Jambaroo, where you control the action.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: Haven't been me yet. We're going to take Lenny. Lenny's

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: ten birthdays coming up. But I want to do the

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Taipan and really get involved down there.

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to do the taipe hand just at

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: the moment. Give it a couple of days. My wife

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: did a wi in the Taipan yesterday. What I went,

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Do you know when I walked around

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: she was scared. No, the taipepan is where you actually

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: just sit in a rubber ring and you float around.

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: It goes at two kilometers an hour. Like you, there's

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: nothing scary about it. It goes up to your waist

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: in water. You can walk if you want. And I

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: looked at her and she ain't quiet.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: So what are you doing?

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing a wii.

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: Oh you've got to.

18
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Be kidding me. Do you know how many kids are

19
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: in here doing weees as well?

20
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: Like?

21
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: This is not a wee floating event here, This is

22
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: not what this is about. This attraction is about families

23
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: getting together and having a slow ride. Do you know

24
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: what I thought about it too? Was I looked around

25
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: and there were so many people, like middle aged men,

26
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: just with the biggest smile on their face, And I thought,

27
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: isn't this wonderful that it brings everybody back to the

28
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: inner kid that's inside them. I just loved the mate.

29
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: Everyone was having so much fun. We didn't do anything

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: too challenging at the park.

31
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: What was the best ride?

32
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the octopus yep, you know they have that one

33
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: too where you cross your arms and the floor disappears the.

34
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: Speed.

35
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Or you do the one where you're on the mat

36
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: and I felt quite faint going on the mat one

37
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: where you spin so quickly. Jack was going crazy for

38
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: it too, though.

39
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Did you take Jack down? Because going up we had

40
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 2: Magic Mountain right, and my old man was Dad would

41
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: have wighed probably just under one hundred kilos.

42
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: The more weight you have behind it, the fast.

43
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

44
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: I was flying, so when we used to hit the corners,

45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: I'd be in Dad's lap.

46
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: We'd hit the corners. I was twenty three at the time.

47
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: It was a bit weird, very weird, and Dad would

48
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: go up and get air set and then come down

49
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: and land on.

50
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: Me on the right.

51
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: How you break a burn?

52
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Great to meet a couple of the listeners too, who

53
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: wanted to and say hello when I was just wandering

54
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: around him in tight little shorts and some good feedback.

55
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: You're not that fat, We're not that fat. Leave that

56
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: out of it, and to say you're not fat, and.

57
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: All the places to run into people? Would it good?

58
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 3: It was really good?

59
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: You know. The thing was the park opened at ten o'clock.

60
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: We got there about one o'clock. I said to Lisa,

61
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: I want to be there when the park opens because

62
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: we're going to make a day of this. Right, We're

63
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: going to stay there for lunch. We're going to kick

64
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: into gear. The kids have been talking about going to

65
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: Jambarou forever. So we left the motel we were staying

66
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: at at ten o'clock. So really bad. Start the lodge,

67
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: the lodge, Yeah, the lodge. Anyway. Then as we made

68
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: our way to Jambaroo, I don't know what my wife's

69
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: obsession is, but we saw some cows and she also said,

70
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: there's one thing I promised we'd do this weekend as well,

71
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: when pad of cow padding a cow for when you

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: get cows, you get flies. Yeah.

73
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: I don't think cows like being.

74
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: No, they don't funny say that, No, they don't. So

75
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: we as we drove along through the area, we pulled

76
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: up at maybe five different fences that had cows there.

77
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: We got out of the car and we went to

78
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: pat the cows, and the cows walked away from the fence.

79
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Finally we park and we see all these calves, these

80
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: baby cows. There is probably thirty of them in the

81
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: front paddock by the road. She's melting.

82
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop the mouth melting rump.

83
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: I could see the veil peering through the fence. They said, honey,

84
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: why don't you get some apple out to try and

85
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: feed them. She said, no, these ones aren't going to

86
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: run away from me. And then we went to the

87
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: fence and obviously they ran away, So they said, she said,

88
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: why don't we going to talk to the owner of

89
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: the property and maybe we can go and have.

90
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: A look further.

91
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: So we go and meet this guy and his family,

92
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and Nashley's wife comes out and we meet her as well.

93
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: They're probably just trying to do well. They were just.

94
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: Enjoying this Sunday. They were just trying to have their day.

95
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: So Lisa, next thing you know, Francesca's on their play

96
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: equipment and we're in their backyard.

97
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: I know.

98
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: One of their little kid comes over and says, one

99
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: of the cows is giving birth. So we stood there

100
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: as one and waited while the cow gave birth. Is amazing,

101
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: so you can see it's hoof in the sack. Wow,

102
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: its head's coming out.

103
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: I would have been fascinating to watch.

104
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.

105
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: And do you give them any help?

106
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: I don't, But the big mama. It lay on the

107
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: ground and then it kind of flapped its legs around

108
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: for a while, and then it got up and I

109
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: thought it's trying to get gravity to help out, and

110
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: then it laid down again. An hour I stood by

111
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: a fence waiting for the cow to give birth, while

112
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the owner of the property said, made it's already had

113
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: five calves.

114
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: It won't take long.

115
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: Don't you grab its feet and give it a bit

116
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 4: of a pull.

117
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Only if you have to, only if you have to.

118
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: And it was that the best ride you had at

119
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: jamber Roo.

120
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't the best ride. We still hadn't made

121
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: it to Jambaroo by this stage. An hour after the fence, right,

122
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: we then thank the people, really enjoy it. Congratulations another

123
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: cow in the collection. This guy's got six hundred cows.

124
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter anyway. So then we leave. Lisa's so

125
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: emotional about what she's just experienced. She in the mid

126
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: she says, we have to go into town and buy

127
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: them flowers. They've just had a baby.

128
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: Why didn't you just kick her out in town.

129
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to go.

130
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I suggested that. I said, I'll tell you what. I'll

131
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: drop you off. We're going to Jambooo. Because I want

132
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: to control the action. We have to drive into town.

133
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: We buy a bunch of flowers and drive back to

134
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: the property.

135
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: Many flowers around the farm and.

136
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Say congratulations on your newborn. She wants to go back

137
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: and see it at April and time.

138
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: There's a movie in this, so.

139
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: We go back for the Valentine's Day.

140
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: What am I going to do with it?

141
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: Buy the cow? Put it in the backyard?

142
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Really?

143
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, isn't it a thing you can do? You

144
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: can adopt a cow. Adopt a cow, but then you

145
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: end up eating the cow. It's that whole you track

146
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 5: its progress and it's feeding. I got given it as

147
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: a birthday present. I haven't no, I couldn't you get

148
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 5: too attached to the story.

149
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: That would be a great video if we sat down

150
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: one night. I've just cooked a barbecue hidden cameras and

151
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: I said, A Lisa, how amazing was that when we

152
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: saw that cow ban You remember when you bought the

153
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: flowers and we came back to the farm and we

154
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: gave that family. Wasn't that a great day? And then

155
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: she takes her first mouthful of steak and I go,

156
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: you've just you've just eaten it.

157
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: Ah, not very out of it.

158
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: You didn't read Charlotte Webber as a kid.

159
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: I didn't need Charlotte's web so not eat idiots.
