00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,439
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Christian No Show podcast yesterday.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: Lots of great stories about secrets that you try to

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: keep from mom and dad, not just as a kid,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: but as a grown up as well.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Some new ones that have come in. Nick. When I was.

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: Sixteen, I wasn't allowed to have a TV in my room,

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: but with my fat I remembered the big moment when you

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: allowed the TV.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: In your worst thing I ever did for my school, because.

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't out of a TV. This is this

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: is amazing, this this story. I wasn't out to have

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: a TV in my room, but with my first real job,

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: I brought a small kind of TV. About months before Christmas,

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: I snuck the TV into the house and installed it

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: in my room. I then wrapped the box in Christmas

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: paper and wrote to Nick from Santa on the card,

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: place the gift under the tree on Christmas morning. Acted

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: all surprised, I think once they realized that thing's.

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Been in this room for ages. He's bought himself, but

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: it was it was too late. There wasn't anything they

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: could do about it. Nick. I love that one, Darren.

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: When I was young, I'd always want to go to

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: local milk bar with my friend to play the arcade machines.

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: One day, I remember my dad had a fifty cent

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: coin collection.

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Did you pursue that coin collection.

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: That big jar and then go to the bank or

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: supermarket about every six months?

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: But or is it a coin collection, like a proper

31
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: coin collection, like you would collect stamps and they're one

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: of a coin fifty cent points?

33
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: One day I remembered my dad had a fifty cent

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: coin collection, some rareer than others. So every weekend I

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: take about two to three dollars worth of coins and

36
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: use them to play my games. There were so many

37
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: little bags of coins, let's just say around twenty bags.

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: By the time my dad had noticed something wasn't quite right,

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: there were only two.

40
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Or three left. Not exactly A very observant dad was he.

41
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Let's just say I didn't go to the mill bar

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: for a very long time after that. But Liinda, I

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: waged school to go to the cricket at the MCG.

44

Speaker 5: And yeah, it took photos and Mum was out and

53
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: didn't know anything about it. And then the phonos came

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 5: back and he's Blackie in the house and Mum could

55
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 5: not believe what she actually saw.

Speaker 4: in from the boy, and that last treek ended up

68
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 4: with me jumping off the wall and breaking my arm.

69
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,079

103
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 6: Yes, yes. Back in the day when we're able to

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 6: have bumfires, when I was eight my brother was about ten,

105
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 6: we decided we'd make a donation to the local bonfire

106
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 6: and went under the house and grabbed the seat of

107
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 6: four tires. And about a week later my dad went

108
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 6: looking for them, couldn't find them, and they turned out

109
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 6: to be brand new set of tires. So I must

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: say we're working a very good books for a few weeks.

111
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: God you'd be furious because so expensive.

112
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 6: I know, I know, but we thought it was a time.

113
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: What a generous donation CuMo tirees. That's a great one.

114
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: Alana will send you one hundred and fifty doll avoucher

Speaker 2: Got an email from Justine who listens to the show

00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: and catch up in Perth.

122
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: The People's Republic Independent Republican Purspocourse I still forget that they.

126
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: the border closures into stinky old Victoria, Christian, this happens

127
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: to grown ups as well.

128
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a tattoo that I got done about

129
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: seven years ago. My dad's still hasn't seen it.

130
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: I don't hide it from him, but I've never told

131
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: him I got it done, and he's never brought it up.

132
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't know whether he's seen it, and is so

133
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: aghast he doesn't. He doesn't talk about it. Then it

134
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: hasn't happened, but I certainly don't. And even sometimes when

135
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: we've been together, the kids will see me with my hand.

136
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Yet, and I'm not a grown up, I can do

137
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: whatever I want.

138
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, Justine's husband and Adam passed his motorcycle test.

139
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: I brought a motorbike. Didn't want to tell his parents

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: even though he was thirty two, so would have to

141
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: hide it whenever they were coming around rounded of friends.

142
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: And then one day his mom decided to pop round,

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: saw the motorbike out the front and guess that that

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: must be his, and so it all had to come

145
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: flying out. He was thirty four at the time, Christian,

146
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: so he catch it quite for two years. So this

147
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: still happens to grown ups as well. So keep things

148
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: a secret from your parents, Ginny, and come on them.

149
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 7: Good morning, Christian.

150
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: Hi.

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 7: Okay. I was thirteen years old. It was a Saturday,

152
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 7: and I went into town with my friends. Now and

153
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 7: I went in. I had hair down to my waist.

154
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 7: But I decided I wanted to be a punk rocker,

155
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 7: so I went into the hairdressers and got my hair

156
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 7: done like a skinhead, so it was like a little

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 7: spiky hairdoo an inch long.

158
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: And then I.

159
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 7: Looked and I thought, oh my god, I'm going to

160
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,920
