Speaker 3: I didn't have any bee for turning four.

110
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,240

00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: radio by the time I was twenty eight, I would

114
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440

115
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,480

Speaker 3: Yo. That's how long ago that was.

121
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: Remember you've said that you thought years ago your wife

122
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: was going to show you a surprise birthday party.

123
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: That was my surprise twenty sixth birthday party because the

124
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: year before a friend of us had a surprise birthday party.

125
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: And I said, how good is that? And Helen said

126
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: I'd hate a surprise birthday party. And I said, oh,

127
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: I reckon, it'd be pretty good. And she said, you

128
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to organize one for you. And

129
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: I went really, And she says, yeah, I think I

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: would like I'd like to organize your surprise birthday party.

131
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: I just told one one for myself.

132
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know my wife as well as I do

133
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: now because she never organized it. And then on the

134
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: night of my birthday, it just seemed a bit suspicious.

135
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: All the people in my world were suddenly doing something

136
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: mysteriously but giving vague answers as to where there were and.

137
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: You thought, I see, I see, I get it.

138
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: So and my birthday happened to fall on a Saturday night.

139
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: So I'm walking.

140
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Around the house getting ready and I'm just and I thought,

141
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: where are the jets? Yeah? And when I came home, firstly,

142
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: no one was there, and I'm like, Okay, what's going

143
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: to happen.

144
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: It's going to be an ambush.

145
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: Surprise people are coming with buckets the chicken and beer

146
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: and pie.

147
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

148
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: And then nine o'clock Helen comes out in a pajamas,

149
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: said I'm going to bed. And I said, but what

150
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: about my surprise guess what about my surprise party?

151
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: And she said there's no surprise party.

152
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: And then years later, on my forty ninth, bar I

153
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: remember she organized it. When she said to me, I

154
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: can't do this anymore, I said, ah, here, we got divorce.

155
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 3: It's happening. This is what's about.

156
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: She said, I just kn't of organize this surprise birthday

Speaker 1: to organize one for your forty.

160
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,760

Speaker 2: and I had to go to a flight center and

175
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: go inside. This is when they still had those big

176
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: mannequins outside fiberglass and I went inside the shop and

177
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: I said, can I please have that? Is this something

178
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: I can buy it from you? And she said, well,

179
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: it's interesting because we're swapping over from this guy to

180
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: another one.

181
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: They swapped over from fiberglass to a cardboard all flute

182
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: cut out flight center man.

183
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: And do you remember I got arranged to have it

184
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: brought in here, and then when you were taking it home,

185
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: somehow I was pretending to kiss it and it tastes

186
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: it awful.

187
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: Now you actually kiss it.

188
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'd forgotten it had been standing outside a shop.

189
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: Down the raid from the robin Hood Hotel.

190
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably covered in all kinds of stuff. I

191
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: would imagine, surprised I'm still alive. Years I could have

192
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: got monkey pox. Years later, I was at a thrift

193
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: shop in Woombar. What do I see another flight set?

194
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: And he was bashed up, he was been abused.

195
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: And I said to the guy, what do you want

196
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: for that flight Center man, and he goes, what do

197
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: you want to pay me? And this was the sort

198
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: of guy. He's got to be careful, so I didn't

199
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: want to go too low. So I said, I'll give

200
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you two hundred bucks right now, and he said two

201
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: fifty it's done, and it was done.

202
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: So you've got one and I've got We both have some.

203
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to get a whole bunch of them because

204
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Flight Center crushed up all the old Flight centerment so

205
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: people couldn't use so the people couldn't use them, So

206
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to get a bunch of them.

207
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: And happened?

208
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,760

Speaker 3: It was so good.

289
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: And this is I don't know, like the I guess

290
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: the outlaw bikeies used to get on a bit better

291
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: back in those days.

292
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: But it was like a real brotherhood.

293
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: And I remember being in a queue because I wanted

294
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: to get one of those, you know, the little order

295
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: of service brochures. So I'm just standing in the queue.

296
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it's the open casket for Metho Tom.

297
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: So I'm in this queue and I get there and
