00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: is your weakest claim to fame.

50
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: My weakest claim to fame is some twenty five or

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: years ago and one of my first call center positions.

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: I was working for a major telecommunications company in Australia

53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 4: that everybody loves saying. And one of my colleagues there

54
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 4: was a gentleman named Dean Smith, who you'd probably know

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: better as Herald from Neighbors.

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't know he worked in a call center.

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 3: He did.

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, it was part time job on top of

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: his regular.

60
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 6: Gig and he was on neighbors at the time.

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 4: He was absolutely on neighbors at the side.

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 6: This is incredible.

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: I didn't have that big old Harold who went on

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: to become you know, married to match the biggest.

65
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely good twenty years I would think on neighbors

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: he was, you know, give or take, but yeah, absolutely.

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: I remember being you know, nineteen years old and walking

68
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: into the cool center and there he was. It's it

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,239
