00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: to come on air, but trying to get information about

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: the story Jack Post told and you happened to take

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: her call.

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 3: Libby wanted to know, so Mum and Dad kept the

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 3: color in the third draw down. She wanted to know

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 3: what was in the top drawer. Top drawer was the

11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 3: miscellaneous batteries, rubber bands, sticky.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Tape used draw in the kitchen.

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: Then the second drawer was Spatula's whisks, the bigger kitchen implements, and.

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: There's the vice captain draw isn't it really? The Captain's

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: drawer is your nice and forks and spoons.

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: And then color in the third draw Then fourth draw

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: was another miscellaneous but less used miscellaneous drawer like old

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: game broken game boy or hair tires that we didn't

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: need anymore.

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: I love the fact that Libby actually called in. She

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: just couldn't get on with her more earning until knowing

22
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: that or coming back at this amazing email I got

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: last night from Kent and Christian once a month. At

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 2: dinner when we were kids, we were allowed to swear

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: as much as we could for three minutes. After that,

26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: we weren't allowed to swear for the rest of the month.

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: Thought this might be an interesting It really is. So

28
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 2: we're talking. How did you know your family wasn't normal?

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Rachel has emailed. We would have practice fire evacuations in

30
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: the house like you would do school and work, where

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Dad would make us pretend to be asleep, and we

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: then set the alarm off.

33
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: And we'd have to plan how to leave.

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: I thought this was all perfectly normal until there was

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: an adult and found out no other family did this.

36
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: I've got images of the r all ten in bounds,

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: you know, the ben still a dad who's constantly getting

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: them to be ready.

39
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Rachel, that's incredible, Richard.

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: My family used to run our own mock election on

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: general election days. We've made up party names and posters

42
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: that would cover the house, including all the windows, when

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: people walk by, thinking that we were some sort of

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: strange cult. In their own way, All families are strange cults,

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: aren't they. Coco's on the line. What a great named Coco.

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, Good morning, good morning, Toko Hi. I knew

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: my family wasn't quite right when my kids were watching

48
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: Family Viewed and the question was what would you find

49
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: in the corner of a room, And instead of saying

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 4: a pop plant or a lamp, they've yelled out mannequin.

51
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: And because I had a nineteen thirty's mannequin in the

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: corner of the room with giant angel wings. And I said, no,

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: normal people won't have that. A wife be there. They said, yes,

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: it will because it's a bit of an Adam's family house.

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: We've got a full sized galloton in the bathroom, I've

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: got a bed made out of fire hydrants.

57
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: And to slow down with the tour, first of all,

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: let's just let's go back to the mannequin with the

59
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: angel wings.

60
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: Why can I ask, Oh, because it was a nineteen

61
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: thirties and I'm a collector, and I called her Gabriel,

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: Angel Gabriel and she was just gorgeous. So she was

63
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: nude as well, which brought up issues when kids would

64
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: bring friends time to play.

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: The mannequin.

66
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Gabriel is going to be looking at for you tonight.

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's very Adam's family our house.

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: And then the skeleton in the bathroom I've had of

69
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: a skeleton in the closet.

70
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: This is a different thing. You got one in the

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: bathroom in your place.

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: Right out there in the open, it's a full size one.

73
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: And I sorted to help them learn anatomy. But it

74
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: creeps a lot of people out and what they keeps

75
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,919

00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. You're an amazing mum.

78
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: And then what was the what was the other one

79
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: that the bed made out fire hydrants?

80
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, so it's massive and there's no moving it.

81
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: It's just yeah, it's huge. So they had a one

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: hundred years of the Scouts jamboree and when they packed

83
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: down the cants, the boiler maker made a bed out

84
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: of these fire hydrants and my eldest son gave it

85
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: to me for Mother's Day.

86
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,680

98
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 5: I said, the chickens I am there on your clothes.

99
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: I said, yeah. They wouldn't blame me, and I said no,

100
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: they just flying up through the roof, through the rafters

101
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: and come down and lay the eggs. I can't stop them.

102
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: This is I, this is mine blow Sorry, Jack and

103
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: I are just trying to unless you're shake in our head.

104
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: So your bedroom was a kind of chicken coop.

105
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, only at night they come down.

106
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: And so they lived outside, but they flew in through

107
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 3: the roof.

108
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

109
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

110
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 5: Some lived in the trees, but some lived in the

111
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 5: rafters and the roof because they'd never finished the ceiling

112
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 5: in the house and you could see the roof.

113
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: You had me, Dan never finished the seating. I thought

114
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: I I was bad at diy. Dad never finished the ceiling.

115
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Next time I get told that I haven't hung those

116
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: hat racks yet, I'm going to go, well, Bruce's dad

117
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: never even finished the ceiling.

118
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: You know, lucky you are at least you've got a ceiling.

119
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: You're not wrong. I had boll bars. You make bullbars

120
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 5: in my bedroom for trucks, hackers and trucks or stuff

121
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 5: I'd have to pay for allways, welding, don't you head?

122
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Or the arc lights sparking off it. This is incredible.

123
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: Your dad is a Yeah.

124
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: He burnt the dunny down because the caravan which used

125
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: to have the chicken pen, try to toe it away

126
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: because I'm told him it's too much life and stuff

127
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 5: in it. So he couldn't do that. So he just

128
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: put diesel on it and burnt that down, burnt the

129
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 5: tree down, burnt the dunny down.

130
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: Wow, when I say he's ever real life my guy,

131
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: but he's a terrible real life my guyver.

132
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and his host doesn't even reach the dunny because

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: it was too short. They can put it out.

134
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: Terrible thing to say about a man. There's when he

135
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: reached the dunny, but let's leave that there.

136
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: The Christian o'connells show. Yeah,
