Speaker 5: Pats Oh not so good.
Speaker 6: I you know, I was talking on here the other
Speaker 6: day about how magnificent my chili coon can was. Oh yeah, Anyway,
Speaker 6: I thought, I'm going to make it again because a family,
Speaker 6: you know, there's so much reward when you slave away
Speaker 6: in the kitchen all day and they actually enjoy.
Speaker 5: What you cook. It gives me all the good feels,
Speaker 5: so I thought.
Speaker 2: And also, do you know what, Patsy, you know what
Speaker 2: it's like. You're busy. You got you and your husband,
Speaker 2: and you got a kid, you got a teenager. You
Speaker 2: only need you just need to recycle your greatest hits,
Speaker 2: don't you, Because it's one of the most boring things
Speaker 2: about being grown up. It's a consot light. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: what are we going to do for dinner tonight? You know,
Speaker 2: it's constant, So you just need either can you just
Speaker 2: need three to five dishes that run it like Nova
Speaker 2: run a radio station. They've only got less of them,
Speaker 2: and they've only got one great hit CD. They just
Speaker 2: keep playing it every two hours. I was this one again.
Speaker 2: They really like it chearing. Do your home meals like that?
Speaker 2: If you've got a family.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a bit of a one trick pony. So
Speaker 6: mine is chili con cahn. So I thought I'll make
Speaker 6: it yesterday, and I do it in the slow cooker.
Speaker 6: It goes across six seven hours. It's magnificent, So.
Speaker 2: You're not really slaving in the kitchen. The slow cooker
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, said I love that slow cooker, right,
Speaker 2: become a recent convert to it.
Speaker 1: You chuck it all and then you yay, you fix this.
Speaker 2: No, I'm coming back in it in eight hours, and
Speaker 2: this better be bloody nice.
Speaker 6: But it's like it's like when your meals at a spa.
Speaker 6: You have to treat it well. You have to every
Speaker 6: now and again. Just give it a little massage, give
Speaker 6: it a stir.
Speaker 1: You do as you stir, you do a little tasted,
Speaker 1: dunk some bread in it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 5: I speak to it nicely. Sangle once you do.
Speaker 2: It, rub my slow cooker like it' said, work.
Speaker 6: Your magic doing well anyway, So I thought I'd get
Speaker 6: really clever.
Speaker 5: And that's where I went wrong.
Speaker 6: Yesterday, so as I was making the tomato mix, so
Speaker 6: you put you put the mince in the big pot
Speaker 6: of the slow cooker, and then you put this, you know,
Speaker 6: you put all your herbs and spices, yaddia with your
Speaker 6: kidney beans and stuff. And I thought, oh, put it
Speaker 6: into the magic bullet and really mix it well, blend
Speaker 6: it blended up yeah, pure, Yeah, so it's all nice
Speaker 6: and mushy.
Speaker 5: Well, I thought, I would.
Speaker 2: You ever had a puret of kidney beans smoothie? It's
Speaker 2: just someone in hospital. You can't operate that jaw, or
Speaker 2: maybe it's been intubated.
Speaker 7: It's already quiet, sort of melded in a slow cooker
Speaker 7: all day.
Speaker 1: Maybe food for teenager.
Speaker 5: Anyway, you have to add just like three quarters of
Speaker 5: a cup of hot water. And that's where I went
Speaker 5: wrong because because because it was hot, because.
Speaker 6: The contents were hot in the magic bullet after they're
Speaker 6: done their mixing and stuff, I couldn't get the lid
Speaker 6: off because it created like this suction from the woof
Speaker 6: science experiment could not failed one, so I ran it
Speaker 6: under co I ran the container under cold water to
Speaker 6: try and cool it.
Speaker 5: It wouldn't work. Of course, I tried a teatowel to
Speaker 5: get it off.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't work.
Speaker 5: I had that time.
Speaker 2: About the crowbie that you've got with all the weapons
Speaker 2: of destruction in the cart boot.
Speaker 5: Nothing.
Speaker 6: Anyway, I was so desperate, and the Love God wasn't
Speaker 6: at home working from home yesterday. So I knew Paul
Speaker 6: next door, he's retired, he would be home.
Speaker 2: Hey, retired, Paul, you have no job. Therefore you will
Speaker 2: work for me in the kitchen.
Speaker 6: And he's always out in his garden and he always
Speaker 6: has a chat. So anyway, I went out there and
Speaker 6: I said, Paul, can you can you help me?
Speaker 5: I can't get this lid off? And then I noticed
Speaker 5: that the baby was like, this is a trap.
Speaker 2: Didn't Ted Bundy use this ied bill sitting at bottom
Speaker 2: of a pet Goddamn it for me once?
Speaker 1: Perhaps we're spoken about this.
Speaker 5: Well, poor Paul, he's got a little bit of arthritis.
Speaker 5: Now he's getting.
Speaker 2: Shop guy with authoritis, praise this dish of death off.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Paul couldn't get it, even if he.
Speaker 7: Did get a patty it's got searing hot water inside.
Speaker 2: Like in his eyes.
Speaker 1: You were tired. You don't need those eyes. Paul soon
Speaker 1: be dead.
Speaker 6: He couldn't get it off, so I said, oh, I
Speaker 6: don't know what to do, and he said, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 6: and I said, no, that's all right.
Speaker 5: So I couldn't make the chili chunk.
Speaker 1: So what is it is?
Speaker 2: It trapped in there?
Speaker 5: So I just put it in the fridge. So it's
Speaker 5: still in the fridge.
Speaker 2: You poor things.
Speaker 1: You have to make another dinner.
Speaker 6: Maybe today. Maybe today we will chili Cong Khan. If
Speaker 6: the love God can get the lid off.
Speaker 8: It's not U can you get can you bring it in?
Speaker 2: We will try it tomorrow. Maybe a new challenge like
Speaker 2: it Scalima. We invite listeners. If you prize the lid
Speaker 2: off the Chili Cong Khn, you win a prize. It's
Speaker 2: some of the Chili Cong Cohn. You know how worried
Speaker 2: about this? The innocent person in this stories put Paul arthritis.
Speaker 2: Hope it's all right, shout out.

Speaker 2: that do that. You know, this big business. During COVID,
Speaker 2: a lot of people had these like pods studios, yes, and.

Speaker 2: you're in a small shed. You just stuck.
Speaker 1: Have you been kidnapped?

Speaker 8: That violates the Geneva Convention.
Speaker 2: Can I hire someone as a lawyer. Have I got

Speaker 7: a full proper silk kimona, thinking.
Speaker 2: Like a dragon, No it's a dragon scene or is played.

Speaker 6: you take notice and you think, okay, you know, let's
Speaker 6: pick ourselves up again and get ready for what this
Speaker 6: next challenge is going to be and how we can

Speaker 6: chances and you think, you know, is this going to
Speaker 6: be it? Anyway, Luckily it wasn't. So even the experts
Speaker 6: and specialists, his whole team couldn't believe it. He said,
Speaker 6: he hadn't even sat down in the professor's office and
Speaker 6: he said, well, guess what, it hasn't spread. And so
Speaker 6: we were just it was just the most pleasant surprise
Speaker 6: because we were.

Speaker 13: I was walking dow up the street and I need
Speaker 13: to see a GP. So I popped into a new
Speaker 13: GP and as I walked up to the desk the reception,
Speaker 13: I said to me, so, what's your name? And behind
Speaker 13: me on the TV you could hear him I'm a
Speaker 13: primary school teacher because the Chase episode that I was
Speaker 13: on was playing right there. And then as she answered
Speaker 13: the question.
Speaker 1: You are kidding me. Now, this is one of the odds.
Speaker 2: Your episode.
Speaker 13: I played it twice a year because it was a
Speaker 13: pretty thrilling episode where I'd won with half a second ago.
Speaker 13: But that can for that odds was crazy.
Speaker 2: Just as you're walking in, You're on the TV introducing
Speaker 2: yourself to Australia on the Chase.
Speaker 13: Right after she said what's your name? How crazy is that?
Speaker 2: One of the biggest One of the odd stories we've
Speaker 2: ever heard Anton.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's unbelievable, but hey, they are the odds and
Speaker 13: that's why I rung up.
Speaker 1: I like hashtag. They are the odds.
Speaker 2: Now listen, Anton, So what happened on the show? How
Speaker 2: much did you win?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 13: I answered ninety percent of all the questions in my
Speaker 13: team and we had to share twenty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 13: So as a school teacher, I bring it up every year.
Speaker 13: And we watched the episode and the kids take tali
Speaker 13: marks and they're always like, why is the buzzer only
Speaker 13: saying and Ton and you get the smart kid turn
Speaker 13: around and go, come on, he's a teacher. He knows everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I don't wanted the odds that I can now use
Speaker 13: a TV program to teach kids about tally marks and
Speaker 13: making grass.
Speaker 1: Well, did you enjoy going on? It's a great show.
Speaker 13: Oh, it was awesome. It was filmed at seven point
Speaker 13: thirty in the morning, so I was slightly tired. I
Speaker 13: did what they told me. They were like, make sure
Speaker 13: you're excited, make sure you're having fun, make sure you
Speaker 13: bring the jokes. So I did and the host kept laughing,
Speaker 13: and then he turned around at the ad break and
Speaker 13: said maybe we should switch jobs. So I may have
Speaker 13: called Kevin Bacon ugly on National TV and that made
Speaker 13: him have a giggle. But hey, Gina Davis didn't marry
Speaker 13: Kevin Bacon. He married the tool guy from Independence Day,
Speaker 13: so Jeff Goldblum. So that's a pretty good question. And
Speaker 13: I'm talking way too much now. So the beast who
Speaker 13: we beat, he told me I should be quiet because
Speaker 13: every time there was a factor, I told him more
Speaker 13: than they needed. So he had a bit of equip
Speaker 13: at me and everyone had a laugh at my expense.
Speaker 13: Thanks mister beasts.
Speaker 2: You know why, it's because they may about four or
Speaker 2: five of those shows a day. It's like a that's
Speaker 2: why you're in at seven the morning. Anyone who starts
Speaker 2: ad libbing I went on the version of the UK,
Speaker 2: they almost get annoyed because you're taking up a little
Speaker 2: bit more time.
