Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, real floor, Yeah yeah yeah, Gotti, real flow,

00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. Are you ready for loss under the

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: cutting room floor today?

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: Well, let's give a shout out to Carrot.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: Carrot is the name of the world's biggest goldfish, and

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: Carrot has just passed away, plunging fish lovers around the

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 3: world into morning.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 4: Well I'm a fish lover. How did I not hear

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: about it?

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: We'll get to your fish loving ways shortly, but first

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: let me tell you about carrot. Carrot was a hybrid

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: species of a leather cap and a coy carp. Oh,

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: so it's this giant orange goldfish. And when I say giant,

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: it's the size and weight of a labrador.

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: Oo, it's twenty years old. A fish was twenty years old.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: I had two goldfish and my dad once cleaned out

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: the tank and they both went down the toilet.

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: They lasted about a week. Maybe that has become this.

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Hey, did your dad not understand the principle of cleaning

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: out that you just chuck everything out?

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: I don't chuck it all out.

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, what were your goldfish called?

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you'll understand the connection. They were

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: gold so I've called them Goldie and golden.

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So now you work in this creative environment.

27
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm the only person radio without a nickname. I wish,

28
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: and there's a reason I wish.

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 4: He brings some of that creativity to the table sometime.

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: You know what everyone talks about their porn name. Which

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: is your first pet on your first street? It was

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Goldie Carill, which I think is a pretty good porn name.

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Goldie Carill sounds all right. Tiger carrying bar.

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: A bit heavy handed, isn't it?

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: It is too much carrying bar street carrying bar road.

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: Sorry my mistake.

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Oh what are you trying to stalk me? Now I

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: don't live there anymore.

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: I lived just around the corner Incredibility Way.

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 2: The Struggle Street.

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: Well, this fish carrot was in France and died from

42
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: natural causes. But what's interesting It was four foot four

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: foot long, and as I said, way the size that

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: weighed the same way as a labrador thirty kilos.

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: And how did it die?

46
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Well, it died from natural causes, they say. But having

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: said that, lots of people tried to catch it. They'd

48
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: haul it out and take photos with it, then put

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: it back in. And it's got to be stressful.

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: For it just two years ago.

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: This guy said he spent twenty eight minutes reeling it

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: in and it was delighted when he weighed it.

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: And you think, well, that's not a.

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: Good thing too, it's not going to be good for

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: the fish.

56
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: No, but they have said Carrot died from natural causes

57
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: and was not impacted by the string of hobbyists hoisting

58
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: her from the water. And they said, look, we know

59
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: people are going to mourn her loss, but don't worry

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: because she's got two little babies, two baby carrots carrots

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: along with the baby peas. They'll probably grow up to

62
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: be massive whoppers as well. So a twenty year old

63
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: fish that weighs thirty kilos unbelievable. In bringing up this story, Brendan,

64
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: because you see how long.

65
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: I've got a fish pond. When I bought my house

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: some seven.

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: Years you want to tell this story.

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: Inherited a fish pond.

69
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that I've had fish in this fish pond,

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: and I refit. The fish pond had to rehouse all

71
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: the fish that were in the pond while it was

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: getting refitted, and then over time the fish will passed away.

73
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: It could have been old age I don't know, but

74
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: they could have been could have been old age.

75
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: They survived all those years in the pond. A nanosecond

76
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: of you interfering.

77
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: Interfering, it was my wife that interfered. Or we've got

78
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: to fix the pond. So we did because it was leaking.

79
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: What restrictions? Come on?

80
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: You know, the story doesn't end there.

81
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 4: I think it does.

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: Can I join in on the telling of this story?

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: So you were going on and on about this.

84
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: Fish was fantastic?

85
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And we got a call from I think

86
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: his name was Brad, wasn't it. We got a call

87
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: from a guy saying that he had inherited two giant

88
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: carp I'm a friend of his who had passed away.

89
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: These fish were very very special and they were quite old,

90
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: Charlie and Roger the mental of.

91
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: Fish a fish, and he'd been bequeathed these from his

92
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: friend who had passed.

93
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: Brad now had to move. I th it was to Townsville.

94
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, just before the pandemic.

95
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he said, I need to rehome these very

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: special fish.

97
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 4: Hi, this brand new tank. And I thought, well, you

98
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: know what, let's do it.

99
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

100
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: Let's do it. And I spoke to fish experts.

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: I said, this is my pond enough is it enough

102
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: capacity for this huge, massive fish?

103
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: And they all assured me that it was.

104
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll get back to what happened.

105
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: But the next morning, after they'd been dropped off at

106
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: your place, I've never seen you so shaken.

107
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: You came into work.

108
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: You were white faced, you were sweating, and you said,

109
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: please don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone what's happened. Because

110
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: we were very anxious about these fish. Because you have

111
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: a history of killing things, you have to admit that,

112
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: and we were very anxious at these loved, long lived

113
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: fish and you would not mix.

114
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: So what had happened on that first night, Well.

115
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: What happened was we put the fish.

116
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: Bill cosby what happened you put the pills in the girl.

117
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: So what happened was the fish went into the pond

118
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: and I just marveled at them because I am massive,

119
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: and they're just swimming around there in that pond.

120
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 4: And they looked like they were living their best life.

121
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: And I said to my potential son in law, were

122
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: standing there having a beer, looking at the fish, and

123
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: it was mesmerizing.

124
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: I said, do you think they'll jump out? Yes, no,

125
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: why would they jump out?

126
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: At that moment, I walked over to have a look,

127
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: and Roger leaped out of the water over my head

128
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: onto our slope driveway.

129
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: Very steep driveway, and slid all the way down.

130
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: Lid down, and I went oh. And then I tried

131
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: to pick him up, but I couldn't just do slippery.

132
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: He's got all this fish juice on him, so I

133
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: had to rip my shirt off, wrap it around the

134
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: fish and scoop him back into the tank.

135
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 4: And there's blood coming out of his because he slid down.

136
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: The driveway getting chased by my potential son.

137
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: In law's dog. It was just breathe, just breathe.

138
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: And then that night I just went, oh, my god,

139
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: I know, and you work.

140
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: And everyone everyone must say, oh, you're going to kill

141
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: that fish. We had the fish in the pond for

142
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: three hours.

143
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 4: That was it. So it survived the night, and I

144
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 4: was really worried about it.

145
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: So I got some fish experts around talk about it,

146
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: and the guy said, this tank is way too small.

147
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: It's way too small for these sized fish. And I mean, well,

148
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for the heads up on that. Now,

149
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: So anyway, I found a place for them to.

150
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 4: Live both Roger and to a farm. They went to

151
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: a massive kitank. I went and saw them. This is

152
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: for real. I went and visited them. No, they wouldn't

153
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: have fit down their spend. It was like, Oh new,

154
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: don't you dare close your eyes.

155
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: I had to transport them.

156
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: The fish guy came around with a big eski, whacked

157
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: them in individual eskies, and off they went.

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 4: And as far as I know, they are living. Oh new,

159
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: don't you do.

160
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: I've never seen you so traumatized. And it took you
