<v Speaker 1>one o four three, Perhaps you what's yours?

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Mine is driveway goodbyes, which I think is a dying art,

0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 3>so doesn't matter.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 4>Whenever we go up to my parents place.

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 3>Whether it's a small visit could be just five minutes

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>to drop something off, pick something up, or a long

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 3>visit on Sunday afternoon, they will always come out and

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.799
<v Speaker 3>wave us goodbye, always always sweet.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 4>But it's a dying art.

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it's dying off with the older generation where

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 3>they would always see you off and it's so beautiful

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 3>and I know one day when they're.

0:01:24.479 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 4>Not around, you'll miss that wave. I will miss that

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 4>so much, really touching, and it's just the simplest thing.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 4>And Mum will wait until you're.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Down out of sight until I'm still the same parts. Right.

0:01:35.759 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The kids, my two daughters now will obviously drive their

0:01:37.639 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>own cars. I still walk them to their cars, help

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>them with their crap, and we'll wave them off down

0:01:42.919 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the road. You can go now. And no, No, it's

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.359
<v Speaker 1>just a thing, you know. It's a generational thing.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 4>It really is. Yeah.

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 3>There was never a time when I was growing up

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 3>if you visited an aunt and uncle or cousins where

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 3>they didn't come out and wait off.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Now we don't do it anymore, and I think it's

0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 4>a real show.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>If you are the receiver of the wave off, you

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>should give it away bast away raised right, just not

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the big old but a little like you know, as

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you're being waved off, if you're the wavy and they're

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the wavers, and you've got to return it with your

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>going down the road.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, only with Mom and Dad though they're the only

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 3>ones I do, because they're always out the front in

0:02:24.920 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 3>the driveway waving a song.

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a beautiful thing.

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>If I came to visit you, would you wave me off?

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I can imagine what kind of wave?

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank god he's gone?

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>What's that? They don't do that enough anymore?

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 4>The old driveway bird.

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>The bird by.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 4>You wouldn't come out where do you come?

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Mind?

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 5>You?

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>If I was going to get the wave off just

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to experience that real what small thing? But that was

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful one, Percy, thanks for show no Rial, what's yours?

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 6>I had a goodie yesterday. I was at the petrol station,

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 6>pulled in behind this guy in front of me. He

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 6>filled up first, he went in. I came in after he.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 6>I caught him napping. He's looking around at the Allan's lollies,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 6>the snake having a little look at the ice cream

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 6>right in front of him.

0:03:12.920 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I paid before him.

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh sorry, brother.

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>In this game silky soccer skills, there a little side step, yes,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>a bit of ekunda. And now Intern Pete is part

0:03:26.920 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>of the advance party. He's up at the criteria in

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>hotel where we'll be live tomorrow morning. This is the

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>part we've been renovating for the last couple of weeks.

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And Pete, what small thing, big joint for you.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to use the words the greatest day

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 5>of my life, but yes, that was actually yesterday when

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 5>I sliced a big chunk of cheese. Now the biggest

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 5>challenge when you slice the cheese is, oh, how many

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 5>crackers do I need to take out of the packet

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 5>to match the ratio of the cheese.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Now, this ratio has got to be right, cracker to

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>You've got to balance it. Yeah, it's good.

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 5>You've got to get it so right. There's no having

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>to go back to the pantry and get more or

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 5>bring in the whole packet than having to put the

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 5>packet back later, all that sort of stuff. You've got

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 5>to get it right. I predicted that I would need

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 5>thirteen ladies and gentlemen.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I got.

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>No cheese an afternoon.

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 5>It was a lot of cheese, and it was a

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.359
<v Speaker 5>beautiful thirteen crackers, perfectly the right amount of cheese on

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 5>everything one, none of that like, oh a little bit

0:04:23.719 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 5>on that one and a little bit bigger on that.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 5>It was just perfect.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Now tell me this, in fact, don't tell us your team.

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a guess what type of cheese you think

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Pete was calming up? You think a common of garden

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>hard cheddar.

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 6>I think he's gone from Mercy Valley cheddar.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a bit fancy. It's Sydney cider in him, isn't it.

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You know all those shears in a cane jay show.

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's going for bre.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 5>The answer is it was cheer cheese. Oh, sorry to

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 5>disappoint everyone. It was no dafn ware or saying to

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 5>go from Leon in France. It was just typical, very

0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 5>basic chee che.

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Lovely couple of slices of Yarlsburg yesterday afternoon picked me up.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 5>I feel I've disappointed all of you by just eating

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 5>stand and cheese.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I just thought you would be a bit more fancy.

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I thought you thought you might even be maybe a

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>manchega or gooda man.

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I do love all of them. See I used

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 5>to be a cheesemaker as well, but sometimes it's nice

0:05:18.840 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 5>to go back to basics.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what do you mean?

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 5>Yes, so I learned how to make cheese, after all, I.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Thought you were talking about what you did in the

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Carl and Jackie o' show. Awful lot of cheese, sour blue,

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>very blue, very blue. Actually yes, yes, things got rights.

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely so.

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 5>After my apprenticeship with the chef, I learned how to

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 5>make cheese in regional Victoria at Timboon Farmhouse Cheese. The

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 5>cheese was that good it was taken over by King

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 5>island and then can of beers, breeze, you name it.

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>This is incredible. What a life you've led.

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and I'm only thirty five. It's crazy now.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Participating before the show was telling us when we were

0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about how do you cut the cheese? I actually

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>cut it in a triangle formation and then you dress

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the plate so it looks quite nice when you have

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of cheese and crankers. But I got

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the idea is just using sliced cheese.

0:06:10.840 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 5>Correct, I just used that, you know cheese, like sliced

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 5>cheese cheese.

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not Bogan, it's burger burger cheese. Well, if you're

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>using the pre slice stuff you're in the Rappers, you don't.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not a shark coute kind of board.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Look, not in the Rappers.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 3>This is the one that's you know the square box

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 3>that you get at Willworths or Coals.

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 6>And like eager or huge.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, and it just comes as a square.

0:06:35.840 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 3>But I only use that because I have it as

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 3>a snack daily and I like a controlled.

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Amount how many slices.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 3>I would have two slices, which is equivalent to probably

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>about if I break it down into six twelve and

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 3>then I get my thirteen crackers.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the magic number this morning. All right, okay, what

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is the small thing big joy for you? For you

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.840
<v Speaker 1>stay seker about him. Small thing big joy is when

0:07:00.840 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm baking a cake and I need one hundred and

0:07:03.280 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty five grams of butter and I managed to just

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>eyeboard it and slice off exactly one hundred and twenty

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>five grams a butt off the wedge on my first

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>attempt known bessing about trying to get a tiny bit

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>more but five grams ten grams. It's uncanny when you

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>hit that. You do it for great. It's like an

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Olympic gold medal. Christian small thing big joy. When you

<v Speaker 1>It's the number today, show thirteen Christian small thing big Joy.

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Tickling toddlers, now, Christy, Obviously you need to know the toddler.

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.239
<v Speaker 1>You need to be related to a toddler. You can't

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be going around tickling unknown toddlers. I should have to

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>say it, but I feel like I should say three.

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>The label always always check with a toddle of bine.

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You right to have a little chicky tile Christian. I

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>still tep Patsy. I still wave people off two Patsy.

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>It's such a beautiful thing that should continue. It shows

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 1>we're all love kindness. Diane, that's lovely. I remember ree

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Do you see like families would if they

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>saw train go by. This was in the eight and

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously trains were there's some excite people where they would

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>just wave at the strangers on the trains. Yes, I should.

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>When we were out like walking with the dogs, we

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to go by this train track when there was a

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>train come and I always get the kids down and

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>we just wave at the stranger. I don't even know why.

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And some of them would wave back, Oh that's cute. Yes,

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone's waving. And now if I saw

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>someone waving at a train, I would think, bless them,
