Speaker 5: Victoria is building one cash needed and then our website
Speaker 5: Christianconnellshow dot com dot au where you can click through
Speaker 5: to the GoFundMe.
Speaker 2: Because that's going to be stampede today. But yeah, let's
Speaker 2: saying for that now.
Speaker 3: Darren, like a lot of people, a lot of these visionaries,
Speaker 3: very excitable and maybe not everything was bang on sort
Speaker 3: of what he was talking about. So someone else who
Speaker 3: is involved in this has heard about Darren Corden about
Speaker 3: the giant Cooko Bra. And we've got Jody on the
Speaker 3: line who texts and saying she's the instigator of the
Speaker 3: mega cook Bra.
Speaker 2: Jody, how are you?
Speaker 3: We're good, very excited about the plans to put Donald
Speaker 3: on the map with a giant cookera.
Speaker 7: Yes, it is very exciting and I thought it would
Speaker 7: be good to put a few of the one stories straight.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Mmm, so the Kooko bra are fifty meters, it's not
Speaker 7: going to be fifty meters, but it's going to be
Speaker 7: a huge five meters.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I think. Yeah, he fed Darren of Donald.
Speaker 2: He did say five minutes isn't a week? Oh he did?
Speaker 2: Did he yep.
Speaker 7: Oh that's all right, I have to.
Speaker 2: Defend the money.
Speaker 3: He doesn't need defending. He's not do anything wrong. But
Speaker 3: he also mentioned how there was a panel beta that
Speaker 3: will be constructing this thing.
Speaker 7: Well, no, it's an artist that does sculptures and he
Speaker 7: lives up an hour inland from Newcastle, up in New
Speaker 7: South Wales. So I tracked him down from a sculpture
Speaker 7: of a kooker barrow that I've seen. Yes, and but
Speaker 7: where Darren has got the panel beating from is he
Speaker 7: makes the feathers out of old bonnet cars.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, wow, yeah?
Speaker 5: How many cars does he need to make it cook?
Speaker 2: How many bonnets does he need?
Speaker 7: Well that is a good question, that is not one
Speaker 7: of ours.
Speaker 2: Well we're not the artist, so you know we need
Speaker 2: to interview you, to speak to your Australian banksy to
Speaker 2: find out about this.
Speaker 5: All of a sudden Newcastle wakes up and all their
Speaker 5: cart bonnets are missing.
Speaker 2: Drop off your bonnets here at Gold please, guys.
