<v Speaker 2>I don't think so, but there you go. Thank you.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the first I've got this thing at the moment

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for Darryl Lee licorice dripping in dark.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I loved him. You know, remember the

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>chocolate bullets what you were talking about.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, the bullets is one thing, but to have these

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>big chunks of beautiful licorice, also dripping in dark chocolate,

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and they're on special at the moment. They were last week.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where it will be this week. Two

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>for the price of one.

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how good that you did? You head down to

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the supermarket while you're a bit sick.

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>About you that's right. It makes you feel better though

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I was very sick Enoughter you eat a packet of that,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.559
<v Speaker 1>you just feel better about the world.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I reckon, So I reckon. Something to make you

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>feel better is when you start the day with a

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 2>bit of gratitude. What do you reckon? Does that work? Sometimes?

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It's very important. Gratitude is a very very powerful sentiment.

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>It is it is, and that's what I was thinking.

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Actually on the weekend, I thought of because I was

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>driving out of my garage and it's been really frosty

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>these mornings. It's been freezing here in Melbourne, and I

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>was in the garage and I drove out, and I thought, actually,

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not too bad because I'm in the garage. But

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I remembered when I was younger and I would have

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>to park out on the grass. We didn't have a garage.

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>We had a car port, but I couldn't park in

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>there and the windows were frosted completely iced over. I

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>used to have to use the water to get off

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the ice, and I was freezing. The heat didn't work properly.

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, that's something I didn't have, But I

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>can't live without now. I thought I might ask Tony

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Max something you didn't have, but now you couldn't live without.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't live without a garage now impossible.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>No, it would be very, very difficult back in my

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>day for the brother me and my brother Phil would

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have an inside a toilet.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's a good one.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So you can imagine getting up at one, two, three,

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock in the morning. Here two boys that you're

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>thinking to.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>You, I've got to go to go and it would

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>be you know, like zero degrees down in the backyard

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>just to go out and go and have a tinkle.

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, no, thank you. How yeah, so you must

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>be really grateful now to be able to do that.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>That's right, all these years later and we've just got

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the inside version, and I got to tell you it

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>brings great job. We are grateful.

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>That's grateful for that. I've got another couple on the list.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 2>This is a bit so. You know Fox Tell Ko

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Sport on TV. When I was growing up, my parents

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>no Fox Tell, no cable TV. I would have to

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>listen to what to get the Richmond games, I'd have

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 2>to look in the paper and find the radio stations

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>that were calling the games, either radio in my room

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>listening to Richmond, which was okay, you know, because I

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>fell in love with Rex and the three W callers

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>and that sort of thing. But all my mates had cable,

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>they all had Foxtel. I didn't have it. Another thing

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have was the air con and central heating.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>We had no Why did you have air condition?

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, not a chance until I was I think

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>there was would have been eighteen I reckon, but yeah, no,

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't live without it now, absolutely brilliant. Did you

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>have any others on your list?

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So for the other one for me would be

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>we only have had brick hits and when you think

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>about now, brickheads, so we didn't have guests. And then

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>some years that it might have been the late sixties

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>we were kids that maybe early seventies, we got this

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>thing called a gas heater. Oh yes, and that was

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just like top of the was a ub to have

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>this incredible new gas heater that warmed the lound room

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>like we'd never known a before.

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's what well, that's what I grew up with,

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>is the gas heater. So that was really you know,

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>that was okay. But then once when we had central

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>heating heat, it was like.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Holy central heating.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>That was the top of the was correct.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>And you go to somebody else's house and they'd have

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the maybe you go to somebody else's house at friend's

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>house and they'd have under the concrete heating and it

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>would come up through the floor. The whole house was warm.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Just to know the floor was really warm to walk on.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I know. Well I used to go to

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>friendsus for Foxtel and watch the footy and that sort

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. But no, I still like them as well

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>and have that this one, you know Spotify now. Back

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 2>in the day, as you know, I mean, well for me,

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm obviously a bit younger than you, but we'd have

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to go and by the CDs or tape video hits

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>on a Saturday morning to listen to our music and

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 2>and all of that. But now we've got it at

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>our fingertips. Spotify any song you want or album or

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>do you think it takes away a bit of the

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>magic used to go and buy that?

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Look, Billy and I have talked about this. Billy

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Panella and I have discussed this over many many years.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>One of the joys was and people listening no go

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you'd go and get to say an album, and you

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>would learn the lyrics because often they'd be published on

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the back of the album, or you would learn who

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the players were. You'd learn the which tracks fell into

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>each other after, you know, so it was very important

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you listen to track side one, track one right through

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and you knew the context of each of those songs

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the album, what that album cover looked like.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that that's available as much as it was,

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>but we're going back sixty seventies and eighties, of course, yeah, yeah.

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, you're so right, you're so right. And I

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 2>think it also it's a thing with the you know

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>movies these days, when you've got on the streaming platforms.

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Used to go to the video store and get it,

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and you'd rewatch it. You watch it a few times,

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>you'd read the cover, you'd see who the actors were,

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you'd pay attention to every line. But now it's like

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 2>everything is to our fingertips and we've got so many

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>options you don't really pay attention. So I think some

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 2>of that magic has gone.

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing too, for me Jimmy's APO would

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>be the fact that you might be watching one of

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the streaming things. Show comes to an end and then

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you're looking to look at the credits. You want to

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>spend time with the credit, and then it disappears off

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the screen. They've moved on to a promo for another show,

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and go, no, I want to watch the credits.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Go back to the credit. I've done the same thing.

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>I love it one, double three, six nine three. So

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>what are we going to ask the audience.

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>So something you didn't have, but now you can't live without.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh there, it is something we didn't have when we

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>were growing up, but there's something with which you just

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>cannot do without. One double three six nine three. Jimmy,
