Speaker 2: you're raised in a nineties or two thousands, the eighties

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,960

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: This letter is the letter we've done radio before. Of

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: the alphabet, Yeah.

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: We're starting with the letter A, letter E.

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: So think about the eighties, thing about growing up in

30
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: the eighties, what connects you to the eighties With the

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: letter A, we want your stories And it might be

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: Australian Crawel maybe that was the first band you saw,

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: or ACDC whatever it is about the eighties and the

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: letter A. For me, it would be ashtrays in cars

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: far this under. It was a different time because people

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: now be horrified to know not only did our mums

37
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: and dad's and are for me grandparents chain smoke in

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: the car? There were cigarette lighters and actual ashtrays to

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: not just encourage it, but to support it, right with

40
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: no worries about passive smoking wasn't really a thing then.

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: But I remember my my nan, right, my Irish Nan

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: was a very very heavy smoker, like eighty da. People

43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: then just didn't realize how bad it was. And she

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: was eighty den I mean the full tar Marlborough red

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: skate eighty day. So on an average car trip she

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: gets through three or four in the car windows wound

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: up right me as an eight or nine year old.

48
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: To make it fun and make it sort of bonding experience,

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: she'd let me. She'd passed me her cigarette and I

50
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: would flick into the ashtray and hand it back to her.

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: Tell my kids that they go, you're making that up.

52
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I know.

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: There was nothing abnormal about any of this cars.

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: They were made with stuff. They thought the public need

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: this ashtrays. They can't possibly go on a trip to

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: the supermarket that might be five minutes without a way

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: of like flicking their ash somewhere.

58
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: Of course they're going to smoke in a car.

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first cow we had had ashtrays on every door,

60
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: so all four even in the back, and then one

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: on the back of the center console in the center,

62
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 5: essentially saying all five people in the car can smoke.

63
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: You know.

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: Now, they're like USB charging points, aren't they of the car?

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: And go wherever you're sat, don't worry, you can smoke.

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: You're never more than half a meter away for a

67
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: nearby ashtray. So a letter ash trays in cars, Patsy,

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: what's the letter A and the eighties for you?

69
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 6: When I think of a in the eighties. It's definitely

70
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: acid washed jeans for me, which were as staple for

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: any blue light disco on a Friday night, and if

72
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 6: you were lucky, you had both the blue and the black.

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 6: I had the blue with the matching jacket I got

74
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 6: for my birthday.

75
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: When you doubled up the classic double jen and that

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: was the power look of the eighties.

77
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 6: It was, and you tuck it into your white converse

78
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 6: the bottom of them into your white converse socks with

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 6: white rebox and you thought you were just eating a bit.

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: And the other thing for me was added ass Rome sneakers,

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 6: or my wish to have added us Rome sneakers. My

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 6: older brother had a part time job so he could

83
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 6: afford to buy his own, but I couldn't. I was

84
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 6: still at school, and so mum went to Kmart and

85
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 6: got me the cheap version, which were like Roamas or something,

86
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 6: and they were vinyl.

87
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: And the shame it's all about I remember those Romas

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: that those Adeeda's old school train is now Snea because

89
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: they're huge now. They're all back in fashion, like Feeling Champion.

90
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: All those old brands they're back around now. Has acid

91
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: washed ever come back into fashion.

92
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: You know everything it recycles.

93
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 2: In fact, what's that one the fashion trends that never

94
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: ever came back? It only lived in the eighties.

95
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: I've got a pair of acid washing.

96
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 6: It's back, but not as big like it exploded in

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: the eighties.

98
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I've not seen that wave. Has anyone else seen? It

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: looks a bit nervous. Then no one else went me too?

100
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: What can you wear them in tomorrow before acid washes back?

101
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: I must be pulling it up so much that you

102
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: don't even know that it's sanding out.

103
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: It's a natural look for you. And so your brother

104
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: had the Adidas roame training.

105
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: You had them, and mine had two stripes instead of

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 6: the three. So it was obvious that you could.

107
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Like a rank in the army.

108
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 6: It was like try hard. It's scream try hard.

109
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Christian o'conon Shoe Podcast.

110
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: Jackie Boy, The Letter A and the eighties. What would

111
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: it be for you?

112
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: I'd love to mention Axl Rose. Of course, of guns

113
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: and Roses. I came to them much later than the eighties.

114
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: The year is two thousand and two. I'm fourteen years old,

115
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: staying up late on a Saturday night to watch Rage.

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: Even though you're.

117
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Younger than Batch your night.

118
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: It's amazing how back in the day it was mainly

119
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: music videos or the radio the only way you were

120
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: introduced to your next favorite band.

121
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: And I was drawn to Axel in a big way.

122
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: I love the hair, I love the bandanna, I love

123
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 5: the leather jacket. And I never heard anyone sing like

124
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 5: that before. And I actually remember thinking, like more people

125
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: should know about guns n' roses, Like why isn't anybody

126
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: talking about this? It turns out they had been just

127
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: fifteen years earlier.

128
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: Patsy, what's it for you? The letter A Another one.

129
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: My really first big Hollywood crush was Andrew McCarthy, and

130
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 6: I still love him. He's still a handsome man. He

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 6: I first saw him in Pretty in Pink and thought,

132
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 6: oh wow, he's a spunk, and then Madeken and Almost

133
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 6: Fire was a massive, massive movie of his as well.

134
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 6: I had his poster on my wall. It was just

135
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 6: a spunk.

136
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can whenever we talk about posters

137
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: that you had in your bedroom wall.

138
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: I remember.

139
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: My wife's first ever sort of teenage obsessional crush was

140
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. She once told me in

141
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: the early days of dating. She now claims the only

142
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: we revised our own process that she never told me.

143
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: That's like you did. I couldn't even make this up.

144
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: That she used to kiss his poster good night?

145
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, totally.

146
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,680

234
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,640

235
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: nineties Alf, about the alien life form Alf who crashed

236
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: his spaceship from Melmac into the Tenor family's garage.

237
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: Did you watch this? I loved it.

238
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 6: I loved it. I had an ELF stuffed toy you

00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 6: could buy them in the in the kmart and stuff.

240
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: Never far away from a kmart connection. When we get

241
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: to the letter K in the eighties from down, let's

242
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: put aside team an hour perhaps his recollection of various

243
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: things from Kmark. This is the TV show theme tune

244
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: for Alf. Jack, you won't be familiar with this. I've

245
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: asked Jack to read up on ALF the TV show

246
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: from the early nineties.

247
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: It was basically, I remember Patch did he eat cats?

248
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 6: He loved to eat cats and he chased them.

249
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: Kid, you know a cat?

250
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Alf a wise cracking alien.

251
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: I love it.

252
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: I used to dream that basically, there's spaceship with crash

253
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: into Unborne house and I would have as a mate Alf.

254
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: He commented on the stupidity of mankind.

255
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 5: So it's like a comedy version of et.

256
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Yest with lulls. What have you got? What we could be?

257
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 5: To day jackfe form ELF is an alien from the

258
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: planet Melmac who follows an amateur radio signal to Earth

259
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 5: and crash lands into the garage of the Tanner family.

260
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 5: Unsure what to do, the Tanners take Elf in and

261
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: hide him from the Alien Task Force and their nosy neighbors,

262
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: Trevor and Raquel.

263
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: That's it.

264
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 5: It was announced in twenty eighteen, it was announced that

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,119
Speaker 5: Warner Bros. Would produce an Elf reboot.

266
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: That's why Anthony Hopkins was going to be Alf.

267
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: He cannot play anybody.

268
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: I love to go from you know, the real gut

269
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: wrenching drama Beauty of the Father to being announced He's

270
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: going to play Alf.

271
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 5: Sadly, by November twenty eighteen, it was announced the reboot

272
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: was canceled of ELF.

273
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: This will age it right before I play this out.

274
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: He had a catchphrase, I kill me.

275
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: Do you remember that?

276
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: Perhaps that was his catchphrase. He was sort of bashly said, look,

277
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: I kill me, and it was a lot easier to

278
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: get laughs back in the day.

279
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,720

00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 6: down to Expo and an hour back and this place

321
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 6: was just think of Alcatraz.

322
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,119
Speaker 3: This is incredible.

323
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: I love the fact it's called Mount glorious. I'm now

324
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: seeing it as a horror movie on those sore ones.

325
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: Saw nine Mount glorious.

326
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 6: There were two showers, I remember, and they were outdoors

327
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 6: and it was like open air, you know, like a

328
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 6: country footy club old change room. They were foul, they

329
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 6: had leeches in. But the first night, this massive, big

330
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: tropical storm hit and there weren't enough bunks for all

331
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 6: of the year tens for.

332
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: Were ever going to the How did you they had?

333
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 6: They had these caravans in the campground, and my girlfriends

334
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 6: and I got stuck in one of these caravans because

335
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 6: we couldn't get into the dorms. There wasn't enough space. Anyway,

336
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 6: this storm hit at about midnight, tip this caravan over

337
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 6: to its.

338
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: Side, possibly light metallic box a field. Anyway, the adults

339
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: in the dorm so roper teacher.

340
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 6: Anyway, the teachers had to come out because our van

341
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 6: had tipped on its side, were absolutely petrified and they're

342
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: so we had to bunk in with the teachers. We

343
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: had to sleep on the floor in our sleeping bags

344
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 6: in the teacher's dorm, which was just like horrendous. For

345
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 6: a year ten what was I fifteen sixteen? It was like,

346
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: oh kill me now, and then all they served in

347
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 6: the cafeteria for the entire week. I kid you not

348
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 6: were fat sads savolois breakfast in dinner.

349
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: I mean it's barely meat.

350
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: It's like pigs eyebrows, eyelashes their feet.

351
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 6: There is salis the smell of that at six am

352
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 6: wrange and the.

353
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: War on that because nothing else.

354
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: But every meal Christian, not just like a one.

355
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: For breakfast dinner.

356
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 6: We'd get off the bus, all bus sick after a day. Ever, anyway,

357
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: we found this milk bar halfway up the mountain, so

358
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 6: we used to crawl out it. My parents don't know this.

359
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: They're going to be horrified listening to this.

360
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Your dad's want to stiffy word and let's he complain

361
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: to our school right now, someone will pay for this.

362
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 6: We used to creep out after about midnight and go

363
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 6: down to this milk bar like this seven to eleven

364
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: place and get myies.

365
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: But when you look back, now, are you actually grateful

366
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: that such a hand? You know, something's so bad, there's

367
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: something really special about it, and I can't believe we

368
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: actually survived.

369
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 6: Oh look, I couldn't imagine sending Audrey on a camp

370
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 6: like that, like I'd be up to the school.

371
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: Wouldn't exist now, Yes, Australia, which.

372
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: Is too extreme people have right.

373
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell shoe podcast Chantcy.

374
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: Just told us an incredible epic story about getting to

375
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: Brisbane for the World Expo in eighty eight. The highlight

376
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: of the eighties to me was just simply my bike.

377
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: It was a BMX bike and this song. I try

378
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: to find this yesterday on the internet. It took me

379
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: heges to find it. Spotify, which has like a billion

380
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: and two billion songs, does not care for BMX boys.

381
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: They have a lot of fun. What a banger e

382
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: for the eighties.

383
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know who's by, but I just started

384
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: singing yesterday, try to find it.

385
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: And we did. Those BMX boys had a lot of fun.

386
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: If you're a BMX.

387
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: I had an Alco two two Silver Star with the

388
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: Renthal laidback seats.

389
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: I love that bike.

390
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: Me and my mates that was it was just camps

391
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: ramps every single day.

392
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: Got as a Christmas present.

393
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: Remember going out that afternoon meet my mates on their

394
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: BMX bikes that they had got just hours and hours

395
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 2: of fun. The highlight for me though, it really peaked

396
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: when I was ten in nineteen eighty three. You remember this, Patsy,

397
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: I think Nicole Kidman's number one or second movie, BMX Bandits.

398
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: This was I just want to say, right, some thing's

399
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: age very quickly. It was nineteen eighty three. This movie

400
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: at the age of ten blew my mind. I think

401
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: cinema is not going to get more exciting for me

402
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: than this. A BMX movie, BMX Bands, Belt Wild in

403
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: the Streets, in the Chase, tw end All Chasers.

404
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: It's thrills and spills.

405
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: It's fast and jurious fun.

406
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: There's only one word to describe.

407
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what that work was. It was the

408
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: eighties worst one for.

409
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 5: There's some amazing sound effects in there, but it bubbles

410
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: with underwater at one stage, bubbles UFO.

411
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: And then the promise of the eighties of anything to

412
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: do with thrills and spills.

413
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: You were like, I can't wait.

414
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: You said three you had me at thrills, you chuck

415
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: in a spill. I open our best days. We have

416
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: thrills and spills. That's always a dream every there that

417
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: we're bringing the thrills and spills to breakfast radio.

418
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 5: But BMX boys have a lot of fun.

419
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: That is enough of that. Yeah, I love my BMX.

420
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: So Jack has never heard of the movie BMX bandits

421
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: By the way, Quentin Tarantino right.

422
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: Said that he's a fan. You know, he's a big

423
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: movie note. Yeah, he said that this is Australia's goonies.

424
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I've never seen it, so I can't comment.

425
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 3: Could you please this week? Right? I will give you

426
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: the money to download or stream it.

427
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: Goodness knows where you'd find it now, no one who

428
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: owns that it's on stand.

429
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: I bet it's not on the Flix Netflix.

430
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: We do say no, all right, we do say no,

431
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 2: we don't need the world's not demanded BMX band.

432
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: We want a big collection, but we'll humbly pass on

433
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 5: BMX band, all.

434
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: Right, Ben in mind, Quentin Tarantino Lonas said this was

435
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: Australia's Goonies.

436
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 5: After a successful Sydney bank robbery with the robbers wearing

437
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: pig masks, the boss plans a larger robbery, hoping that

438
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: he can trust the less than competent gang headed by

439
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: Whitey and Mustache.

440
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: That straightway first term, I say, why have a less

441
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: than competent gang?

442
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 5: And the boss as the what a cliche thing to

443
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 5: call the main character. Two young BMX experts PJ and

444
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 5: Goose meet Judy. I assume that's Nicole Kidman working as

445
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 5: a trolley collector at Rulinger Mall during the school holidays,

446
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 5: hoping to save money to buy our own BMX bike.

447
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 5: The trio launched their own plan to foil the bank robbery.

448
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: They seem to remember the key point point of it.

449
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: They found these walkie talkies.

450
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 5: They did, I ended something a lot of well.

451
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: That's the most important bit, right.

452
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: A lot of eighties movies were about finding walkie talkies.

453
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: I would look in hedges everywhere for any misplaced walkie

454
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: talkies that I could unhist A big heights that's about

455
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: to happen.

456
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 5: So using the walkie talkies, they pinpoint the meaning place

457
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: for the robbers. Then they proceed to ambush and apprehend

458
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: the robbers.

459
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's the right. Three kids can do that.

460
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 2: Terrifying gang bank robbers cover the spotty use on BMX.

461
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 5: Fs as thanks for the capture of the police, build

462
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 5: a Beer Mex ramp.

463
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: Because that's what they do.

464
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 7: He was the eights and spells and ramps.

465
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: Thank you. Kind of.
