Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian, no common show podcast?
Speaker 2: What got taped over? If you're a charter of the
Speaker 2: eighties and the early nineties, then your videos were the

Speaker 2: on demand like it is now, or there was no
Speaker 2: YouTube or Google win could rewind and watch clips reever
Speaker 2: you one. You recorded your things and then you had
Speaker 2: on big capitols.
Speaker 1: This is Christian's video and pulling off the little tabs.
Speaker 2: Remember the little tabs, so no one could tape over it,
Speaker 2: but brothers, cousins, everyone would tape over it. You used
Speaker 2: to be a seller, tape over that little gap. That
Speaker 2: little thing used to break off the tab. So day
Speaker 2: we want to know what got taped over?

Speaker 3: they were, they sung a song with f words through it,
Speaker 3: but there was nothing that the ABC could do to
Speaker 3: stop them. So that became rare footage because the day
Speaker 3: days before YouTube, there was no unless you had the tape,
Speaker 3: there was no way you could want these the swear
Speaker 3: words come out. Then my dad taped over it with

Speaker 2: I'm good Adam, and I hope you're traveling well. So
Speaker 2: what got taped to do?
Speaker 5: Mate?
Speaker 7: Look?
Speaker 6: In nineteen eighty seven we had our first family trip.
Speaker 6: We went over to Western Australia. Dad sold the Taranta
Speaker 6: I bought a Torago. We traveled over on the nuther
Speaker 6: Board and he bought a brand new camera and that
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty seven. It was one that went over your shoulder,
Speaker 6: that had a battery pack that wait about tim kilo
Speaker 6: pretty much. The pretty much had a VHS that you
Speaker 6: had to put a normal sized video into it as well.
Speaker 6: So he was carting that around for two weeks and
Speaker 6: you can imagine the weather over in way. He was
Speaker 6: sweat lock at gypsy with them all into a two weeks.
Speaker 6: Mate didn't see anything out of his own eye, didn't
Speaker 6: see a thing out of his own eye for two
Speaker 6: weeks his video filming. So that was It was at
Speaker 6: the time of the America's Cup. So we filmed the
Speaker 6: America's Cup. We went to a stadium, massive hor show
Speaker 6: and my brother got pulled out of the crowd, and
Speaker 6: so Dad filmed that. That was quite special as well.
Speaker 6: So after the two weeks we got home and the
Speaker 6: tape sat up in the cupboards for about ten years,
Speaker 6: and one day all the earl crappy ones that we
Speaker 6: had underneath the VHS, so I was sick of them
Speaker 6: that weren't working properly, so I jumped up in the cupboard.
Speaker 6: I grabbed one from the stash and I film one
Speaker 6: of my favorite episodes of X Files and recorded that, mate.
Speaker 6: So so Mum and Dad were quite devastated that a
Speaker 6: first family holiday Moulder and Scully, nothing beat said, not
Speaker 6: even a two weeks trip to wa mate.
Speaker 2: What a story even has taken us back to how
Speaker 2: big and clunky it was like seeing all that gear
Speaker 2: would have been like Spielberg filming a movie.
Speaker 6: He had one shoulder strap over the left side that
Speaker 6: was hanging off the batchy pack on his right hip,
Speaker 6: then another another one over the other side to his
Speaker 6: left hip, and then the camera on his shoulder. That's
Speaker 6: bigger than any cameras that you see in any news
Speaker 6: stations today, Mate.
Speaker 1: Huge, weren't they?
Speaker 3: I remember my folks would hire them at Christmas. Couldn't
Speaker 3: afford to buy one, so for two weeks over Christmas
Speaker 3: they would hire that big over the shoulder one. They
Speaker 3: took a full VHS in the actual camera itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, recorded straight onto it amazing.
Speaker 8: Exactly right.
Speaker 6: And by the time we got that back, Dad was like,
Speaker 6: I haven't actually seen anything myself for two weekses looking
Speaker 6: through this thing for two weeks and then ten years
Speaker 6: later we went to dig it out for just a
Speaker 6: family night and yeah, mom and Dad sat down and
Speaker 6: watch up an episode.
Speaker 8: Of Ex sol.
Speaker 1: Adam. Thank you very much you call me.
Speaker 6: That's okay. I have a great weekend, you two. Patsy
Speaker 6: in Jack Well Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Taking you back to the taste of video casseas VHS players.
Speaker 1: What got taped over?
Speaker 7: Good morning, Chris, Good day christ and are you going?
Speaker 1: I'm good buddy, So what got taped over? Mate?
Speaker 7: I used to do a lot of scuba divan when
Speaker 7: I was younger with a couple of mates, and we've
Speaker 7: been obsessed with it really and we went up north
Speaker 7: to force a Ton Curry and I went diving with
Speaker 7: the Great Note Sharks. I never shark dive shots with
Speaker 7: sharks before, and anyway, went up there and one of
Speaker 7: the guys in there had a video camera, so I
Speaker 7: taped it all and I've got a copy of it
Speaker 7: off him. Super proud came home. It was the only
Speaker 7: footage I've ever had of with me. Scuba divan was
Speaker 7: and the sharks, which you're not supposed to do. I
Speaker 7: was doing all, you know, it was pretty cool. Anyway.
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to for several reasons, mainly because they're sharks.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when they're harmless, the great nurses, they just look ugly.
Speaker 7: But yeah, no they're pretty harmless.
Speaker 2: How should you feel it filmed that back in the
Speaker 2: day with a video cassette.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was That was the ironic thing, because I
Speaker 7: was pretty pretty rare that people had video cameras back then,
Speaker 7: and especially to go underwater. So I was super proud
Speaker 7: of it. And one day I got a mate around
Speaker 7: the show on the video and home and I came on.
Speaker 1: Me, let me just let me just forward when.
Speaker 7: The old man that taped over a bit of a who's.
Speaker 1: Back on tomorrow?
Speaker 7: I think we're having a bit of a biffo at
Speaker 7: the time, so I probably did it on purpose.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a story of revenge. They are away moved.
Speaker 3: You're not meant to touch those sharks. No one will
Speaker 3: see that.
Speaker 1: You must have been you must have been so angry.
Speaker 7: I was kind of devastated for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, incredible story, Chris, Thank you very much your story mate.

Speaker 1: Morning by christin a gang.
Speaker 5: So I'll set the scene for you. I'm twelve thirteen
Speaker 5: years old. I met a girlfriend's birthday at the Sydney
Speaker 5: My Music Bowl when you could go there and skate
Speaker 5: on ice during winter. The Graham Kennedy Knight Show happened
Speaker 5: to be there filming and they were looking to someone,
Speaker 5: a great actress to skate around the rink and fall.
Speaker 8: On their bottom multiple times.
Speaker 1: That was me. That was my moment, great actress was discovered.
Speaker 5: So I told my parents and we take it. And
Speaker 5: it was going to be my audition tape to take
Speaker 5: and become an actress.
Speaker 1: Filling his next movie with kids who are good skaters.
Speaker 5: Yep, this was going to be my This was my moment.
Speaker 5: Years later, I'm looking for that tape. I put it
Speaker 5: in my Crowning Glory and there's a Swan's game on it.
Speaker 5: I go to my dad, Dad, this is the only
Speaker 5: footage in the world. I cannot get this again, and
Speaker 5: he's like, here's Swans and they won.

Speaker 8: about one am in the morning, Guns and Roses Live
Speaker 8: at the Ritz.
Speaker 6: Now.

Speaker 8: to watch it and there was an ESPN football game
Speaker 8: my older brother had decided to record over top of it.
Speaker 1: Oh it's heartbreaking, up, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Because everyone we've spoken to, although they're laughing about it,
Speaker 2: showed the story, there's still that part of them that's
Speaker 2: still so angry.
Speaker 8: Oh well, there's a little bit of a payback twist
Speaker 8: to it as well. He went to school camp a
Speaker 8: week later, so all his cassette tapes over. At the
Speaker 8: start of the side A and side B, I record
Speaker 8: a little voice message for him saying, don't touch my stuff.
Speaker 1: Genius genius payback.
