1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,840

7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: This year, we enjoyed it so much. We did it

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: with the nineties. Well we are doing it with the nineties.

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: Each week letter of the alphabet? Why do I need

10
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: to explain it to you? Is otherwise a bit fit?

11
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: To be honest, I can't help you. Shouldn't be listening

12
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: to this? How even downloaded this. Here are some of

00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: our favorite movies and moments so far. Please enjoy and

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: yuck it up the Christian O'Connell Show Podcast. We're kicking

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: off the nineties and tonight it's all about the letter

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: A one of the biggest movies of the nineties, Armageddon.

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: It made over half a billion dollars right and a huge, huge,

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: completely over the top nineties movie. Directed by Michael Bay

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: with a who's who of Hollywood, of the movies, it's

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: stacked with premire talent.

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: This is a movie that has only grown more more

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: beautiful with time. I loved it.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: I tell you what it is It's like an irony

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: sort of free bullet proof zone, isn't it.

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, looking back on it, the actors and the

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: director try to claim that they knew that it was irony.

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: They did not.

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety eight.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: They lent in one hundred percent and wear the better

30
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: for it.

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: If you're trying to remember Armageddon, Okay, it's a load

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: of oil drillers who are putting a space rocket with

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: zero training. All right, people train for years, okay years

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: to go up to space. They just they need these

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: guys because there's a meteorite coming to planet Earth and

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the only chance they've got is this renegade bunch. I

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: love also montage where they're getting the gang together. Any

38
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: movie that does that, I'm all in the premise of

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the movie of armaged in, right, is that a meteor

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: is going to destroy planet Earth? Unless actually wrote this

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: down in my notes I was watching it. Unless oil

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: drillers drill into it, drop a nuclear bomb, then below

43
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: it up from the inside. It had also nine different

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: writers brought in to try and beef the movie up

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: as the studio kept looking a bit to it, going

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: m this seems a bit odd. One of them was

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: a young JJ Abrahams who went on, obviously we could

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: do its own amazing stuff. But nine different writers and

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: no cliche is left unturned in this movie. They actually

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: say lines like what I meant to say was sorry.

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: You know where someone high up goes to speak and

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: someone gives them a big spray and then go, what

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna say was sorry. My favorite line of

54
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: the entire movie is this one here.

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: Colonel Willie Sherup and I did just say.

56
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: It's Air Force.

57
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: Man's questing permission to shake the hand of the daughter.

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 5: I'm the bravest man I've ever met.

59
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. The last ten minutes I

60
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: was watching this yesterday after by myself tear tears. It's

61
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: so gung ho. It's the most pro American movie I've

62
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's like, hey, sit down, restless world, hold

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: my beer, We've got this. It is like the oil companies.

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this must be Scomo's idea of porn. The

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: oil companies. Oh oile dreaders, they're the good guys. The

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: whole movie set about.

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Oil, drink, nuclear weapons, Planet I reckon.

68
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Scomo was one of the nine writers on this Back

69
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight.

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: I love that he could still get emotional towards the end,

71
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: because every second counts towards the end, the closer the asterids.

72
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: How many time? How many times? Right if you if

73
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I always played a drinking game. The phrase Cluck's chicken,

74
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: guys is said about one thousand times. This thing's gonna

75
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: blow any minute, guys is also said a lot in

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: the movie.

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: So we're watching the clock over and over again, we

78
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: know that there's every second.

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Against time to save planet Earth. Yeah.

80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Then it gets to the point where they're about to

81
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: blow up the asteroid and save the world. Yet Bruce

82
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: Willis has time to FaceTime essentially his daughter Live Tyler

83
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and have a lengthy back in.

84
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Royal Old, long winded chat with her as well. And

85
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: there they're also I love all the bits where they're going.

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm still drilling eight hundred meters to go to the

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Iron Fairest Plate. I don't even know if there is

88
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: such thing as the Iron Fairest Plan. I'm going to

89
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: make it to the I'm Fairest Plate hurry eight hundred

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: minutes ago.

91
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: I did love how how hellbent they were to get

92
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: like eight hundred feet into the asteroids like seven ninety

93
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: five would have probably done the job. Still, send the

94
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: nuke down there, you're gonna be all right.

95
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: There's a yeah, there's a bit in the movie as

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: well where there's a line I think he's in the

97
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes, right, and that's where I actually got goosebumps,

98
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: thinking this might be one of the most important lines

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: in cinematic history where they're talking about I think it's

100
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: about that. They talking someone's talk about Bruce Wooldis and

101
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: they go, whatever they said couldn't be drilled. This guy

102
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: drilled it. I'm holding I'm alding, well, you asked me

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: to invest in this, just telling me this line is

104
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: in the movie. I'll give you, I'll give you my money,

105
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I'll remortgage. Now this movie needs to be told.

106
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: Well, he's never been giving a drilling depth that he

107
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: hasn't hit America, didn't consult any other countries about wanting

108
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: to save.

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: The Horris just gets obliterated. Right. Paris a city of

110
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: culture and history. I don't know whether Michael Bayer director

111
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: had a dodgy sort of time there and thought, do

112
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna make it more one day? Well,

113
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: we're just going to wipe out Paris and it's okay.

114
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: The scene years last probably two seconds. You see the

115
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: Eiffel tear and all of Paris get obliterate there.

116
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: And it's never mentioned again. The Paris is now gone.

117
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: It's a non issue, a non issue.

118
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: At times, it's so believable. It's like watching a documentary.

119
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: You're thinking, is this a documentary. I think in the

120
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: end of it they've worked out there are one hundred

121
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: and sixty eight factual errors in that movie.

122
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.

123
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: It's movie made and you're having a good time. Christian

124
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Connell's show podcast, It's all about the letter A and

125
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: the letter A not just a great movie. Armageddon aool.

126
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: When we first started to go on to the Information

127
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: super Highway, you still got a hot mal account.

128
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: They was so prevalent. I don't use the hot mail

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: account anymore, but in the nineties it was like it

130
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 3: was the only domain name, hotmailed.

131
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: I can't and a lot of people, if you're honest, right,

132
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: you just thought it was a bit of fun and

133
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: you deliberately chose a name that was silly to impress

134
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: your mates. So when they ain't got a message from

135
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: you they saw big nuts or whatever you were called.

136
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: Those are the ones we're going to hear from. By

137
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: the way, just so we understand what we're getting into here.

138
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: We're going to have an abundance of stuff like that.

139
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: That's going to be one of the high brown ones. Right.

140
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: There are going to be some that aren't going to

141
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: be broadcast ball okay, with certain numbers in there, right,

142
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: there were no the ones we're talking about. What was

143
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: your first email address.

00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: Talking goat at hotmail dot com right now?

145
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Why talking goat?

146
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: This was inspired by Adam Sandlers sketch which he did

147
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 3: on a CD that I had a nine minute sketch

148
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: where he plays a talking goat. This is some of it.

Speaker 1: ferbies were basically in their creepiness up there with cabbage

224
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: patch dolls. Did you like the furbies, Patsy?

225
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 6: I did, but I.

226
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 8: Never had one. My girlfriend had one.

227
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: If I had to describe one too.

228
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: Are you you would have been in your twenties? Then

229
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: why'd your girlfriend.

230
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 8: She was into all that sort of you know what

231
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 8: do you call that sort of stuff? When you're in

232
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 8: your early twenties. You like a kid still, you know

233
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 8: you're into.

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: All that all that jack. Yeah, that well known word.

235
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: It's a word for it. Isn't that immature?

236
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 6: Yes, that's it.

237
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: They were like it looked like a gremlin basically, with

238
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: a beak. I don't know how these things became a

239
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: big worldwide phenomena. It came back a couple of years ago.

240
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: It's because they were I remember it very much being

241
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: a toy of the future in the nineties, and because

242
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 3: he was a robot essentially, and he looked like a

243
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: very soft toy, but he.

244
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: The toy of the future would be.

245
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 7: At Midnight Love's.

246
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Pictures in them.

247
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: He was the first robotic toy and he could couldn't

248
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: he see through his beak or something and watch you

249
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: and then respond to what you were doing.

250
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't the first robotic toy. Robot toys before that,

251
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: do you think we were just playing with fire and

252
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: a hoop.

253
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: He was the first AI type toilet and we know

254
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: it now, not AI as we know it now, but

255
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: he could do smarter things.

256
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: That started history podcast where you just re explain stuff.

257
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 6: And how did he work? You fit him didn't you.

258
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: You had to feed him. They were quite sort of

259
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: needy and stuff like that. It was like sort of

260
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: a sort of a baby basically. Was it some sort

261
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: of obviously AI futuristic alien baby as Jack probably saw it,

262
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But for a lot of schools

263
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: there were banned because they were noisy, they would go

264
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: off during class and stuff like this sort of banned.

265
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: So I want to I want to talk to some

266
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: one on there. What was banned from your school? I remember

267
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: this is going to make me sound like a thousand

268
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: year old man. I remember when Marbles were a great game,

269
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: and I thought there was a game of the future.

270
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: They were AI and I there was a little eye

271
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: that could see into the future of cyclops playing against

272
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: other little cyclops, the plural. I loved marbles, and I

273
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: know why. Look about why they were banned because rarely

274
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: again wouldn't involve a punch on. You know, you would

275
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: just take on your mates if they beat you. They

276
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: would always do that movie. Just kicked all the marbles

277
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: out of the room and then just swing at one

278
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: of your good friends because he's has taken your beloved

279
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: cat size or a tom bowler. They plied and joy.

280
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Weren't they cats size and the tom Bowler. I don't

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: think I've said that word since I was a kid

282
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: playing marbles. I still love playing marbles.

283
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: They were also a sort of a black market of

284
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 3: sorts because they had their different values. A cat's eye

285
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: is actually at our school were the least valuable of

286
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: the marbles.

287
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Tom Boner, that was a really really good one to get.

288
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: Your big boy. And we even had we had a

289
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 3: whales eye which was even bigger than the tom Bowler.

290
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was right. There's like a wrecking mall. There

291
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: was an art, a fine art actually two marbles perhapsly

292
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: do you have anything bad of your school?

293
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, we couldn't play the Boys, couldn't play British Bulldog

294
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 8: because too many kids got injured.

295
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 6: There's broken arms and everything else.

296
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: But a great game. I still love playing that.

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 6: And Rubik's Cubes in the end.

298
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, work the Devil, not the Bible.

299
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 8: It was so sick of c God Rubik's Cubes under

300
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 8: the desk, thinking that the teacher couldn't say, it's so noisy.

301
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian know Carl's Show podcast took

302
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: My Marmo's band from your school. Marbles were banned for

303
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: mine up at about eleven. I think it was when

304
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: they stopped playing it. Still used to play. My girls

305
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: used to love playing marbles. It was a big thing

306
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: three of us used to do. After I picked them

307
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: up from school on Friday. Used to play marbles right

308
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: an hour. So I love playing that.

309
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: Marbles went through every generation.

310
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: You still play marbles. You'll play marbles with them, don't

311
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: you think.

312
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: I think so. I wish I kept my marble bags,

313
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: keep it going. Actually, when we.

314
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Sounds like a really wrong phrase is the marble bag

315
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm shore in some online dictionary. We should never look

316
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: at marble bag. We've accidentally stumbled into something. And my

Speaker 1: you're playing marbles with your son.

319
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: Yes, When we had marbles band at our primary school,

320
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: they had one day call Marble Day the day before.

321
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: Is it banned forever? Like get it out of your system?

322
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: Which even during the classes that we didn't have any

323
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: lessons that during the classes we built giant marble rocks.

324
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: That sort of thing with the greatest day of his

325
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: school life, wasn't it when there was Marble Day? It

326
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: was Leanne. What was banned at your school?

327
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: We had click clacks at our school that was banned

328
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: because you ended up with broken wrists and arms and everything.

329
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: You must remember click clacks, pass remember those?

330
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 6: I don't what were click clacks.

331
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: Click claes was like a piece of string with a

332
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: ring in the middle and a really hard ball on

333
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: each end, and then you'd hang them down from the

334
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: middle and they'd bang together at the bottom, and you'd

335
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: have to bang them and get them going at the bottom,

336
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: and then you'd flick the string and you'd flick them

337
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: up to the top, bang together.

338
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Then the giant click clack noise. Basically, Henston n These

339
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: things are lethal. I'm pretty sure it's some medieval sort

340
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: of weapon. They used to whirl them around their heads

341
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: and throw them. Game of Thrones there, click claps, Game

342
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: of Thrones.

343
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,160

358
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: like swap them compete, and then they used to end

359
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,000

404
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: the Nineties. Yeah, baby, my name is Christian. And back

405
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: in the nineties, I was addicted to hotlines. I know

406
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: when alone blind? Do you remember these premium rate ripoff

407
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: phone lines before they had to legally tell you that

408
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: it was a premium rate ripoff phone line. So I'm eighteen,

409
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: it's the nineties, and I just had my first interview

410
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: at a local radio station. So it seemed like it

411
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: was so close it was going to happen my dream

412
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: of being on the radio, and yet so far okay,

413
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: And so I thought, do you know what, I need

414
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: to look to the stars to know if I'm going

415
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: to be okay and get into the world of radio,

416
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: which was in my dreams. And so I'd bring up

417
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: this astrology hotline. I had no idea how much it

418
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: constant to all gentlemen. Your parents used to get like

419
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: a what's it like every three months? By then you've

420
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: racked up so much damaged.

421
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: The damage is done.

422
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: I would call like three or four times a week

423
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: to get my daily horoscope. A daily horoscope. I remember

424
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: it was justin Tooper's astrology hotline aries Harry. This guy

425
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: must have been love going, oh my god.

426
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: This again.

427
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: When any way to do this? Until this old man

428
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: gets to be all about ten weeks time and he

429
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: helped be asked to leave the house. My old man

430
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: was horrified. He didn't know what the number was, but

431
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: he knew it was some sort of hotline, and he

432
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: was going, is it a pornographic I think he actually

433
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: said is it a pornographic thing? I was thinking he'd

434
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: hope that that would be understandable. The grubby truth was like, no,

435
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: it's an astrology one.

436
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: It's more embarrassing.

437
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: He's getting his kicks to astrology.

438
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: Don't need to just call once and they give you

439
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: your fortune and then you know it. Why did you

440
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: have to keep repeating calling because they would go cool

441
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: to back tomorrow things are changing day by day and

442
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,480

Speaker 3: And how many times did the astrology man say, I

00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: I think it was even a bit more than that.

453
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: Did you call a hotline?

454
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Before I understood the one nine hundred numbers were

459
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,160

461
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,560
