1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Episode two of book Club.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 2: Love it ready for a book club? Well, how about

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: we go to some of our school years? What do

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: you reckon?

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Well?

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: I was just looking through mine and I just was

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 3: hit by Back in the seventies, everyone.

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Used to smoke.

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: It was embarrassing to say you didn't smoke, and you'd

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: be asked the question are you allowed to smoke at home?

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: It was never do you want to smoke? But are

12
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: you allowed to at home yet?

13
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: And you would have been thirteen or fourteen at that time. Terrible,

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 3: just reading from my book anduce it was no, by

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: the way, of course you because your mum smoked.

16
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: But you did, but mum never wanted anyone to. Mum

17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: hated the fact she smoked, and she did give up.

18
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: But there's no way in the world I would have smoked.

19
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: I saw how much mum wanted to give up. It couldn't.

20
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: My dad used to smoke, and in the end he

21
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: got one cat, so he died of smoking. I'm reading

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: from my book here. Back then everyone smoked, and if

23
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: you didn't smoke, you were considered some sort.

24
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Of poor fock?

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Is it in your book?

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: Although I'm sure the gay guy or homosexual on the

27
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: TV show number ninety six smoked. Dad used to smoke

28
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: these Dunhill SIGs and I remember first nicking someone when

29
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: I was about eleven. Oh, I was a late bloomer

30
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: to smoking at eleven, and I didn't want to have

31
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: my sexuality questioned. I didn't know what it was, but

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: I didn't want to question. They were the strongest thing

33
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: in the world. It was like drawing back on a

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: bush fire. But I wasn't to be deterred. By the

35
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: time I was fifteen, I was a regular smoker. It

36
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: would take me another twenty years to shake the habit.

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: Nothing shakes a habit like your dad and your uncle

38
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: both dying of lung cancer.

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Wow, it was everyone that smoked. Well. When my parents

40
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: started smoking in their twenties, no one knew the medical information.

41
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: And by then, you know, it's so addictive, isn't it.

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: I actually remember a teacher at my school when she

43
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: said that when they didn't know the medical information, a

44
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: teacher of theirs had come in and said, there's a

45
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: nice smelling cardigan that smelled of perfume, one that smelled

46
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: of cigarette smoke.

47
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, you're not smoky now. Man is having a craven.

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: A and the girls were asked, how would you like

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: to smell? And so they made a decision based on that.

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: And I wonder if that's the way to appeal to

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: young people about vanity rather than about health. Just because

52
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: you always think I'll live forever and I'll be old eventually,

53
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: new cares.

54
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Going to schools with a smelly old card.

55
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Again, that's right, Hey, smell this girls, you're in flavor country.

56
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: Now.

57
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: Well, I'll read something from mine about being a teenager.

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: As teenagers, I don't think it ever occurred to me

59
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: or my friends to try and be sexy. The word

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: hot hadn't even been invented. I could barely manage female.

61
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: One school dance had a fancy dress theme. Most of

62
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: the other girls wore pretty nineteen fifty style skirts and

63
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: scarves tied jauntily around their necks. Ah happy days or

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: addresses Egyptian queens in a nighty with a ribbon around

65
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: their forehead and a mess of their mother's eyeliner on

66
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: each oper lid. I went as Kamal in a kaftan.

67
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: So you went as Kamal? Yeah, so I'm presuming a

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: lot here. Well, so you just wore a caf tee.

69
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: And I had a hairy chest. I remember I pinned

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: some steel cotton wool, not steel wool, to my chest,

71
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: and at one point I remember dancing and looking over

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: into the corner of the room and I thought, what's

73
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: that Is that a cat? My chest had.

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: Fallen off and it had its own dance part.

75
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: And I've said, despite my komal impersonation at school, all

76
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: of the girls lived in mortal fear of doing anything embarrassing. Lisa,

77
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: the girl we all wanted to be, had a slight lisp,

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: so we used to say harm bath thing like she

79
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: did when anything happened. And when I say anything, I

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: really mean anything or more specifically nothing. There had to

81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: be the slightest shift in barometric pressure. We'd roll our

82
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: eyes and say harm bad thing. While on holidays on

83
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast, for example, I slipped and pretty much

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: rolled down an entire rocky cliff. Dad said, the most

85
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: remarkable thing was that I appeared to be casually smiling

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: all the way down.

87
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: This happens all the time.

88
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: You know what, You know how I've had a hip replacement.

89
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: My doctor at the time kept saying, what is it

90
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: that's caused your hip to be this bad. I think

91
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: it was when I fell down the cliff.

92
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: You can pinpoint it to that very much.

93
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: I think it might have been. I've said here. I

94
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: was once walking home from school across an oval where

95
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: a group of older boys were playing footy. One of

96
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: them kicked the ball high into the air. From the

97
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: moment the ball left his foot, I just knew, even

98
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: though I was one hundred or so yards away, that

99
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: the ball was going to hit me as it whistled

100
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: through the air. I just kept walking, not looking up,

101
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: trying to avoid it was pointless. It had my name

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: on it. Sure enough it found its target, bouncing off

103
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: my head with a loud boink and instantly shortening my

104
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: neck by about three vertebrae. But did I react No,

105
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: I kept walking as if nothing had happened. See in

106
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: no way in bad thing.

107
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: You are so cool man.

108
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: But what about this? I go on to say this,

109
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: This is nothing compared to what happened to my friend Vanessa,

110
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: after she successfully nagged her older brother to take it

111
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: a Luna park with a group of his friends. In preparation,

112
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: she'd folded a sock into each side of a top

113
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: in a vague attempt to replicate actual bosom. Her top

114
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: was one of those midary arrangements that tied in the

115
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: middle that we all made in sewing class at school.

116
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: But Vanessa didn't reckon on the might of the rotor.

117
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: On this stomach churning ride, you stand against the wall

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: in a circle. Do you remember the rotor plan? As

119
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: the rotor picks up speed, the floor drops away, and

120
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: your left glued to the wall by the power of

121
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: centrifugal force. It's a bit like being in some kind

122
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: of bizarro revolving restaurant. Sadly, it didn't suit everyone. It

123
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: wasn't unusual to see some poor soul shoot out a

124
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: quick spew. I had to watch it snap back and hit.

125
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: Them in the face or the person next year. And

126
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: remember the viewing the viewing area, watch people you wispaper

127
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: would just chuck on each other. It's like German porn.

128
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: Well, what about what happened to Vanessa? Vanessa would have

129
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: welcomed such an event instead. As she spun madly in

130
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: that crazy drum, her peripheral vision caught sight of something

131
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: white making its way up the wall next to her face.

132
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: It was her socks with her hands bin to her sides.

133
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: She had to watch helplessly as her top slid open

134
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: and her cotton bosoms snaked their way along the wall.

135
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: How embarrassed thing From my book, and this talks about

136
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: other theme parks that you could go to as a kid,

137
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: which ones people would smoke and people would like to

138
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: wash that down with a few beers. We still do

139
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: that now, but in the early eighties we downed copious

140
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: amounts of booze and then get in the family kings

141
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: and drive home. People would drink and drive. And I

142
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: don't mean drink and then drive, I mean drink and drive.

143
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: I remember a mate's dad taking us to a birthday

144
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: party at Magic Kingdom. Oh, Magic Kingdom, which was a

145
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: poor man's Disneyland. As he described it, there are a

146
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: couple of slides and a few fly blown EMUs peck

147
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: you as soon as look at you love it. My

148
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: mate's old man had an eski in the middle of

149
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: the bench seat in the front of his XA Falcon

150
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: with a few long necks of reshes. Because it's a

151
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: bloody long drive out there and I've got to put

152
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: up with these kids.

153
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: So he would have an eski on the front seat

154
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: while he's driving and he drink out of.

155
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: It as we went to Magic.

156
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: How imaginable, isn't it? But let's get back to Magic Kingdom. Well,

157
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: what was where was it? And what was it?

158
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: The theme song was sung by a member pilot.

159
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: Oh yes, and you go what happened there?

160
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: There was a slide, like a big slide, and there

161
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: were some go carts that would probably run the speed

162
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: with a lawn mower engine in them. And there was

163
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: a couple of ratty animals hanging around a kangaroo.

164
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: But was it the best day ever?

165
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: D It was the best day ever, you'd go out there.

166
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: But the other thing was we went on this birthday party.

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: So we went out there. But this is before the

168
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: days when you could get a ticket to go on

169
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: all the rides, so you had to pay for each

170
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: individual ride. And my mate's dad said, I'm not paying

171
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: for that. Go on amuse yourself, fellas. So the only

172
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: amusement was just throwing rocks at the ducks in the pond.

173
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: So you just walked around looking at right.

174
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: Other kids, rich kids sliding down the slide and going

175
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: on the cool go carts of the slow go cards.

176
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: I grew up in Brisbane and I left there when

177
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: I was about six. But the most exciting day ever,

178
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: and my heart still swore when I think of it,

179
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: was if we ever went to Santa Land. Santa Land, Yeah,

180
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: this was I remember. We thought it was the most

181
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: hilarious thing. They had a fake jail and my brother

182
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: would put his face behind the bars, or Dad would

183
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: put his face behind the bars, and we thought it

184
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: was the most exciting thing that had ever happened. And

185
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: they had an old phone. What it was was pretty

186
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: much a cup on a piece of string. Someone stood

187
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: over there and about five meters away someone else could

188
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: hear them on the end of it. Wow.

189
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: You can just make that at home, I know.

190
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: But it was at santaland Brendon. Oh what a dream

191
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: it was. And now when you see kids being born

192
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: at Disneyland, you can wake.

193
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Up to yourself.

194
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: I remember when I was wearing in a radio station

195
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: in Brisbane. They were aligned with Movie World up there,

196
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: so once a week we then there'd be something on

197
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: a Movie World. My son at the time, I remember

198
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: him saying this, I'm not Movie World again. Oh that's

199
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: what he said.

200
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

201
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: Remember that friend of mine, Simon Reeve, who went to

202
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: and on beyond two thousand. He went to Disneyland and

203
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: he saw Rutger Hower spinning on the tea cups. That's

204
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: a good get, that is a great gift. I bet

205
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: Rutger Howell wanted to go to santal Land.

206
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: Certainly, no string between two cups as a communications device.

207
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: Sounds like my bikini. It's amazing, though, to think about

208
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: people drinking as they were driving. It's extraordinary, isn't it?

209
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: Because what needed random breath testing come.

210
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty four?

211
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: And do you remember the outrage that people felt their

212
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: civil liberties had been impinged?

213
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well I write this here.

214
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: This all changed in nineteen eighty four when random breath

215
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: testing came in, but it took a long time to

216
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: catch on. I remember my uncle, after a few, pulling

217
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: up to an RBT site and declaring he'd had a

218
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 3: few and they might as well take him in.

219
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Why would he do that?

220
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: The copper looked at him and.

221
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: Said, mate, one, aren't you let your wife drive and

222
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: you head home. The fact that my auntie was just

223
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: as stonkerd as my uncle totally escape escaped the police officer.

224
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: So back in those days, excess, Back in those days,

225
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: even the I was thought, look, we don't really agree

226
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: with the drink driving thing, but you know, we've got to.

227
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Do it now.

228
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: And the assumption that the man driving he's had a few,

229
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: that his lovely wife, who's only had some cooking sherry,

230
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: let her take over.

231
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 3: Because I got my license in nineteen eighty five, so

232
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: that was after RBT.

233
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, so I never got the opportunity to drink

234
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and drive.

235
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Well, I've got some old cooking books which in future

236
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: episodes I might read from some of the recipes from

237
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies. But when people hosted dinner parties, they

238
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: would bring out entire bottles of vodka, of gin of whiskey.

239
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: That people were heavy, heavy boozers, and then they'd all

240
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: drive home. It's amazing any of us have survived.

241
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: And it was always curious.

242
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: They'd say, well, you're gonna have seven in the first

243
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: hour and three every hour after that, but you'll be

244
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: right okay.

245
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: And that was an actual ad for drink driving.

246
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: There were less cars on the road. Interesting to know

247
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: what the road toll was than compared I.

248
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: Can tell you right now the road toll is higher

249
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: from nineteen the pre drink driving. The road toll was

250
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: higher than it is now in Australia and the population

251
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four thereabouts was about fourteen million people,

252
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: so we're now twenty five million.

253
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: People with less people dying on the road.

254
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: So the road toll is actually is.

255
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: It does work.

256
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: It definitely works. Just a bum that's all.

257
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: Oh, really happy for it. Have you seen those goggles

258
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: that you put on that replicate the feeling of being

259
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: a bit drunk. They used to give them to kids

260
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: when they were learning to drive. Oh horrendous.

261
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: It's handy when you got to pick up a lady

262
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: at the club.

263
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: The bad thing is you can see eight of them,

264
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: well and ate some for me?

265
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Why haaving it off with the fly.

266
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: You know what happens though, Then you've got to meet

267
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: all or relatives, nic.

268
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: And the kids, the little maggots.

269
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Well, we've covered some beautiful topics today.

274
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: a good one. Next? School crushes. I had crushes on

00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: everyone and I've still got a copy of sixteen magazine

00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720

Speaker 2: What about you?

278
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: I went to an all boys school, so lots of crushes.

279
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tricky.
