58
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh okay, this is from Luke Christian last week on

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: the show. But you're talk about your friend who's bringing

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: his dad's ashes or some of them back from London

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: here to Melbourne. Yes, they arrived yesterday. I saw a

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: picture of his dad's passport photo. I said last week

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: how the airliners said, abstutely fine and bringing on some

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: of your dad's ashes. You just need to bring his passport,

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: even though his dad is no longer physical form.

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: And he's only bringing a bit of his dad.

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: His dad out, but I'll tell you what he's s

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: a spitting image of his ashes saw and he showed

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: me the photos yesterday. Christian. We used to have a

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: cocker Spaniel called Molly. She was joined at the HIT

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: with my wife and when we moved to Australia, we

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: to try and work out a way to sneak her

73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: ashes in and she passed away just we moved out here,

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: but we didn't want the bloody authorities taken away. I

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: don't think the best way to speak about border patrol.

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: It's bloody authorities. I love that Border Patrol show Australian border,

77
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: but it is great, you know what. You actually just

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: can't work out how people thought this will be no

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: briggie to bring a dead light and Antlerson or something

80
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: into the country. So we don't this isn't. I don't

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: know if we can read this out. So we sowed

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: the ashes into one of my kid's teddy bears and

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: got the kids to take the teddy on the plan.

84
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: I can't use your kid as an ashes mule, sir,

85
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: on the trayer on the plane with us when we

86
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: moved over. Job done. She still has the Teddy bear

87
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: on the dress in the bedroom five years later. Not

88
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: sure if it's weird, but it's up there that the

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: dead dog is still inside in the ashes. That's from

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: Luke Christian. Are you're talking about pranks you played on

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: your dad? Yeah? I still need to get Lois back.

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: She said to me the day, Hey, what happened to

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: this revenge prank? I told you it's just gonna be

94
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: sad for you. It's gonna be so obvious what you're doing.

95
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: I need some sort of pranks a planner to get

96
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: her back. Otherwise it's like I've got no game anymore.

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: Revenge is best so cold, though, So I think it's

98
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: good that you put some distance between her prank on you.

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: So wait five years.

100
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: I still do it by the end of the week

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: so we can hear about it on the show.

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Not that long, Kristin pranks you played. We used to

103
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: have this table in our living room. It's only small,

104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: about four foot in length, and it had screw on

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: legs in Everyone mom and dad have a table with

106
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: screw on legs. Daddy used it all the time for

107
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: his tea and biscuits. So one day I loosened one

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: the legs while he was in the kitchen taking up

109
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: a nice plate of biscuits, making a cup of tea

110
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: after day at work. I heard him coming and I

111
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: raced up to my room. That's where pranks are best

112
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: to join from, aren't they up in your bedroom? Waiting

113
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 2: for the swearing and chaos to begin. I couldn't stop

114
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: giggling at this impending doom that was about to befall him.

115
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: Great word there, Anthony. All I heard was a clutter

116
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: of cutlery and a series of really loud f bombs,

117
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: and then another expleted as they came down to see

118
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: not only tea splashed over the floor, but sadly all

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: the tea had gone onto his poor groin area as well.

120
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: He was actually holding his groin in crying in pain.

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: But it was still a great prank that comes from

122
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Anthony Christian. I get that the tin fall on the

123
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: top is annoying for Jack. These are ideas to stop

124
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Jack's dog from getting up on the kitchen top. But

125
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: doesn't she jump on the bench first then go up

126
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: to the worktop.

127
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a built in bench seat, so it's actually

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 4: as long as the bench top. So I guess we

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: could stuck up chairs or something on there.

130
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: But it would you put the tin four on the bench.

131
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: But still like many years on there, She's not gonna

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: like that. But then you roll it away when you

133
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: come home.

134
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: So every morning, I mean I get up, We get

135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: up a quarter to five every morning. Put some aluminium

136
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: foil out. Yeah, roll it out too hard, try.

137
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: Christian Harry goes on to say he's got very well

Speaker 2: five topics that we're looking for your stories on. You

158
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,840

159
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: You got that amazing present you wanted on Christmas Day?

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600

161
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: story about Inspector Gadget.

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had lots of moving part. His neck would extend,

163
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: his hat would open, but his hand would shoot off

164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: like a rocket, and we lost his hand in the bush.

165
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: Never found it again.

166
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: It's a very Australian kind of injury. He lost his

167
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: hand in the bush. Unique Christmas traditions that only your

168
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: family have. What are you? Unique Christmas to days that

169
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: only your family carry out? The toy that got away?

170
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: What's that toy that you asked for but then you

171
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: didn't get. They gave you something else. They ignored what

172
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: you wanted and got you something cheaper or worse. The

173
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: toy that got away? You still think about it to

174
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: this day. Who's that guy unwanted or uninvited Christmas guests?

175
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: And what's the oldest Christmas present you still own?

176
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 6: Now?

177
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: Despite the the phone's been down, we have had some

178
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: people been emailed in the show for five to its

179
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Tuesday Christian. A couple years ago, I got my husband

180
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: he wanted a remote control buggy for Christmas, so I

181
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: went and brought it. It's a very expensive thing. I

182
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: took it to my parents' house to hire it to

183
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: Christmas Day and I was showing my dad and my

184
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: dad said, let's get it out and have a play

185
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: with it now. So we pulled it out. This thing

186
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: was really powerful and quick. We were playing with it

187
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: for about ten minutes and then I had to go

188
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: and accidentally flipped it over and smashed the bumper. This

189
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: is amazing. So you haven't even given it to your

190
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: husband and you've broken it. My dad tried to fix

191
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: it with glue. We then repackaged it all up. I

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: re wrapped it and on Christmas I handed it to

193
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: my husband. He went out to play with it, and

194
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: again the bumper fell off within a couple of minutes

195
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: and we said nothing, thank you very much, Karen Christian.

196
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: This is a story about a broken Christmas present. It

197
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: was all my fault. I broke my daughter's Christmas present.

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: After about ten minutes she opened it. It was one of

199
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: those Barbie fairies with wings. Just imagine that, right, you're

200
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: a little girl. And he prayed of getting your Barbie

201
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: with wings letters let us, let us still, Christian. It

202
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: was a Barbie fairy with wings. You would insert a

203
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: plastic pull string and pull it to make Barbie fly.

204
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: My daughter tried it a few times, couldn't get enough

205
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: gumption going. I then said, hand it here, you're not

206
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: doing it properly. I tried to show it how it

207
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: should be done. Christian'm afraid to say I pulled it

208
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: too hard. Barbie hit the roof, bounce off the TV

209
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: stand and broke her wings. Barbie couldn't fly anymore. My

210
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: daughter was in tears all Christmas day. Dear, oh, dear Simon.

211
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,480

219
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: are what is the oldest present you still own? Who's

220
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: that guy? Unwanted or uninvited Christmas guests? The toy that

221
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: got away? You know, the one toy that you wanted,

222
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: you asked for, maybe you wrote to Santa for and

223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: then what turned up was not what you requested normally

224
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: for me, a cheaper or crapper version, unique Christmas traditions

225
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: that only your family do, and you only had it

226
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: for a few minutes, Like Paul Simon's daughter and the

227
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: broken Barbie that couldn't fly anymore Christian. I still got

228
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: Fozzy Bear my first Christmas gift when I was nine

229
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: nine months forty two years ago. That's incredible. And someone

230
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: else has still got their Rupert the Bear annuals from

231
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight and nineteen sixty nine. They'd be worth

232
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: quite a bit of money. And I don't know about you, Pats,

233
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: but I found Rupert the Bear one of the most

234
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: disturbing and terrifying things from my childhood.

235
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if we had him out here, did we?

236
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: Oh, you must have done, sort of a strange kind

237
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: of albino bear in sort of checked pants. And he

238
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: had a mate with him who was a gnarly sort

239
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: of twig called Rackety or something used to give everyone nightmares.

240
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: I remember Ruperah, Actually he did come here.

241
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: Did he look at him?

242
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: Stuff, No he's not you are you looking at that

244
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: photo with his twig mate.

245
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: No, he's just a cartoon character.

246
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: A white bear with yellow stuff.

247
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: Albino bear and the red roll neck and the yellow

248
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: check pants. And then I had a terrifying TV theme

249
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: tune as well, Ruper Rupert the Bear. He knows your name.

250
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Helen.

251
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 7: Good morning morning guys, love the show.

252
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: Oh bless you head, and thank you very much thanksgiving

253
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: us to cool this morning. Which Christmas story are you

254
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: calling about this morning? House?

255
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 8: About the unique Christmas tradition?

256
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh great, what's it for you guys?

257
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 8: So my family, we've always lived on the main road,

258
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 8: no matter which house we've lived here. So every year

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 8: we have a tradition where everyone dresses like somebody has

260
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 8: to dress up as Santa for the year. And that's

261
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 8: not where it stops.

262
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 9: So the point is, though, that you have to go out.

263
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 8: On the main road. You're going to try and make

264
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 8: as big as a fool of yourself as you can.

265
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 8: You're got to dance around and see how many cars

266
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 8: you can get to toot you while you dance along

267
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 8: the main street dressed at the Santa. And then it's

268
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 8: always bonus points if you can get the tram driver

269
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 8: or someone to kind of toot you or wave at you,

270
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 8: So bonus points for trams. If you can get more trams,

271
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 8: the better.

272
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you what, it is a nice tradition,

273
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's a lot of effoot as well, but

274
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: I think it's a great idea.

275
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it brings a lot of cheer to the neighborhood.

276
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 8: You'd see the little kids in the car's way started.

277
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: And how do you choose who goes in the suit?

278
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 8: Well, last year it was my brother, so maybe it

279
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 8: might be this year my turn. So we'll have to

280
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 8: see how that plays out.

281
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: So if it was me, I'd be tempted to maybe

282
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: show a different side to Santo and just drop my

283
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: car stop mooning at people. Go oh god, kids don't

284
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: see Santa like that. Why Santa vomiting into a bin?

285
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: All right? Helen, Thank you very much and cool.

286
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 10: All right, thank you.

287
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: Alana, Hi, hi Nana. Welcome to the show. What's your

288
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: story for us? This morning?

289
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 11: We had an.

290
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 9: Unwanted guest Christmas. Unfortunately no one else would take you uncle,

291
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 9: and we've well we've unfotunately got it. And we were

292
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 9: sitting down at the Christmas table. So we've been talking

293
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 9: and eating for a while. And during the dinner he

294
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 9: sent to my sister and said who are you? And

295
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 9: she was twenty two. He'd don't know for years.

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: Or you can do a whole phone in one day

297
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: about uncles. I don't think a lot of those stories

298
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: are broadcast or what. There's something about uncles, isn't There

299
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: often strange characters uncles slash inappropriate as well. There and

300
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: a lot of families have got a strange uncle in

301
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: the mix. Alana, that's a great one. Thank you very

Speaker 11: Mary, Hello, Kristin, how are you?

305
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm good, Mary, welcome to the show and I watch

00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: your story first morning.

307
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 11: Well, our story is that from the late eighteen hundreds,

308
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 11: we make my late grandmother's Christmas pudding and we include

309
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 11: the old shillings and pens from pre decimal pre nineteen

310
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 11: sixty six from Australia. Yes, and you can only use

311
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 11: those otherwise they're poisonous. So each year I have to

312
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 11: boil them and each and put them in the pudding.

313
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 11: My pudding's hanging. Now you have to hang it for

314
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 11: six to eight weeks on the hook and then you

315
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 11: warm it up on Christmas Day. Now you cut through

316
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 11: and you get the coin, but I have to buy

317
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 11: it back from everybody otherwise I don't have the coins

318
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 11: to keep the tradition going. So it's really fun and

319
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 11: it's such a yummy recipe.

320
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: And this has been going on since the eighteen hundreds.

321
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 11: Yes, the late eighteen hundreds. My late grandmother had got

322
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 11: it from you beforehand, and luckily that's mum had it

323
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 11: written down and I made it a few times with

324
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 11: my late mum and I in longhand wrote down all

325
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 11: the steps to ensure that I could keep the recipe

326
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 11: into its original form.

327
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: What a wonderful tradition to keep alive and do all

328
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: these generations of your family. Tell me what does it

329
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: taste like? Because obviously a lot of those older recipes

330
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: they were using food stuff that they had around a

331
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: different scarcity. Does it taste nice?

332
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 11: It tastes so nice. It's so rich with the beautiful

333
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 11: Australian sultanas and currants.

334
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 6: And that in it.

335
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's and of course you put a lot of

336
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 11: brandy in it.

337
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: That's it, and you step far to it.

338
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 11: No, no, not yet already when I cook you. If

339
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 11: I'm not careful, the alarm goes off.

340
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 7: So though if I did that, we.

341

364
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in. Which one are you calling in about? Mate?

365
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 6: The present that got away?

366
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: Brilliant? What did you ask for? What did you want?

367
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 6: My brother and sister and I asked for it. Tampoline?

368
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 6: What did you And we got a trampoline and we

369
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: got to the back door and my dad was jumping

370
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 6: on it and then did a bum drop and went

371
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 6: straight through it.

372
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: I could visualize it. Then the old man, he's had

373
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: a couple of eggnogs, big belly of Christmas turkey and stuffing,

374
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: and then the trampoline is no match for Dad. The

375
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: trampoline quit on the spot and Dad went through a

376
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: bum drop. As well. So I think he's on the

377
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: Olympic moves and now they're synchronized. Bum drop, Lisa. That's

378

Speaker 12: Hell are you Yeah?

387
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: We're good Sue. That's the cooler show off you go.

388
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 13: I've got the one that didn't last too long. A

389
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 13: two years ago, we were doing the right thing and

390
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 13: bought ol boys those twelve vaults car things that you

391
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 13: can herber in in the backyard.

392
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I've seen those. They look greatful.

393
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 4: It's easy one that they actually get in.

394
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, like little Lamborghinis and all that sort of stuff.

395
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

396
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 13: And so we did the right thing night before, change

397
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 13: the batteries up and everything. The kids were herbing around

398
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 13: the backyard and both of them burst into flames. But both.

399
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: This story went quite real soon and then the kids are.

400
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 13: All right, We're fine. The kids were fine. Kids were fine.

401
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yet recall.

402
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 13: And it wasn't much to recall me.

403
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean I guess they're getting the full driving experience

404
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: with Lamborghinis. I mean they can be dangerous cars, but

405
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: that what excitement on Christmas Day? Yeah?

406
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 10: Pretty much.

407
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: And with the boys, okay, did they find it fine?

408
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 13: They were quite young. I think they are about five

409
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 13: and three maybe at the time age.

410
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: To be trapped.

411
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: In five, they're too young to remember.

412
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: The trauma come back.

413
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: Itself in different ways.

414
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 13: I'm thinking that's why Weatherson drives like a maniac.

415
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Now, all right, so that's a great one, Sue. Do

416
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 2: you want to come and watch Elf with us tonight?

417
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 13: Unfortunately I can't. I'm sorry, so please pay it forward?

418
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: Will I pay for it?

419
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 13: Have an amazing Christmas guys, and.

420
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you very very much, very sweet. Dennis.

421
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning, big d Okay, wish

422
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: when are calling it about Dennis?

423
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 7: I'm telling him about the gift that I never got.

424
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 2: What didn't you get? What did you? First of all,

425
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: what did you want? Dennis?

426
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 7: Well, I was raised in a really strict religious household,

427
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 7: and I was asking for years and years and years

428
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 7: to get a toy gune, but my parents would never

429
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 7: agree to it. And then one day they said, oh yeah,

430
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 7: we'll get it for you this Christmas really psyched up

431
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: waiting for Christmas and then my person came out and

432
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 7: it was really thin, unrepped with bloody thinking comics.

433
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: I used to love tinting comics, but it is no

434
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: toy gun for a kid. And like I said, Thinness,

435
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: lets you know that disappointment is contained with.

436
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 7: Yourself.

437
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: For seventy special spike gun that they would try and

438
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: get on a plane or undetected.

439
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 7: I can still feel the disappointment, Christians.

440
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: It stays with you, doesn't It leaves a mark on your.

441
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 7: Soul, never goes away. So enough having to make my

442
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 7: own toy guns, and I think they're better than the

443
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 7: ones I could possibly buy.

444
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: But that's even more terrifying. A boy that you see

445
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: playing who's got a homemade gun. Watch that kid, he's

446
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: on a watch list. All right, Dennis, you've actually coming

447
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: tonight and have a drink with us and watching ELF.

448
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it sounds like a plan.

449
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: Excellent. We paid it forward. Dennis, will see you down

450
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: there tonight. Thank you very much. All the great stories

451
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: are coming through. Christmas Special on five top of Tuesday.

452
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: Christian and talk this morning about the Christmas Day toy

453
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: that didn't last long. They got broken. When I was younger,

454
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: all I wanted for Christmas was a penny skateboard. On

455
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: Christmas morning, I got the penny board, went to the

456
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: local park to test it out. I was having a

457
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: little bit of trouble using it, so my dad decided

458
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: to show me.

459
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: So much harder than you think to write.

460
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: And how many stories have you got about? And then

461
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: Dad got hold of it like the Barbie fairy that

462
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: he just got too much of it, yanked to and

463
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: her wings flew off. He got on and started moving it,

464
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: but we just heard about the dad doing the bum

465
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: and drop and the trampoline, breaking it before his kids

466
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: could even get on it. On Christmas Day, here goes Sunday.

467
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: We tried to super glue with this great work, but

468
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: then my granddad prefers to his car one. Oh my god,

469
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: it ruined my I was five, Christian. I'm in my fifties.

470
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: I still still dread Christmas the nightmares of the penny

471
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: baarning broken twice. You got two sets of fathers, two

472
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: generations of fathers, Sophie. That's incredible. Kylie has got two

473
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 2: stories here. Unusual Christmas traditions One year, my family went

474
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: to carols by candlelight at the Mayor Music Bowl and

475
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: it was rained out. The only thing still dry was

476
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: the contents of our eski, which contained booze and food.

477
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: So we went home, got changed, and I had a

478
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: fresh picnic blanket on the front room floor and ate

479
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: off that. Every year since my now grown up children,

480
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: this is lovely. Every year since my now grown up

481
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 2: children love to set the pink blanket picnic blanket on

482
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: the floor and have picnic food and watch carols by.

483
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful story. And then who's that guy? For dinner?

484
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: When I was young, my mother asked me to invite

485
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: the family from across the road. They were quite isolated

486
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: and deeply religious for Christmas dinner, which was our main

487
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: sort of roast dinner. I accidentally invited them and at

488
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: one point, you're in the mill, one of the children

489
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: in the family started singing Happy Birthday Jesus. My grandmother

490
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: yelled out, bless him, he thinks, bless him, he thinks

491
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: it's someone's birthday. Got to know of this kid. All

492
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: good signs for the rest of the Christmas dinner, and

493
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: soon my mum was mortified. We've in all being told

494
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: to be on our best behavior with our religious neighbors.

495
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: We never saw them again. We invited them around a

496
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: couple of weeks later, but they refused to come. Kylie,

497
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: thank you very much. Let's go to Kelly. Good morning,

498
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: Hi Christian, Hey Kelly, welcome to the show. Which one

499
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: are you calling in about?

500
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 8: Uh?

501
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 10: The one that got away?

502
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, what toy did you want?

503
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: No?

504
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 10: It was my kids. They were given a giant remote

505
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 10: control shark that was inflated with heliums and they took

506
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 10: it outside and it floated away and the remote troll

507
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 10: did absolutely nothing. But the next day there was a

508
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 10: story on the news about a pilot in christ Church

509
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 10: that was startled by a giant flying shark.

510
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: Do you think it can really travel that far?

511
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 10: Possibly because it floated away really really quick.

512
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 2: Balloons, don't you? They go for miles crossin over there.

513
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: That's a great one, Ketty, thank you very much. You cool?
