16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned that I used to work for Mick.

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: We used to make these pumps in a building. You know,

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: you get the water pressure in the high rise building.

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 4: So we'd make the pumps. Who put them together, and

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 4: I'd spray paint them, and he'd have the TV. And

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: I remember being eighteen or nineteen sitting there watching Gays

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 4: about So in kind of a factory situation he'd had

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 4: that it was just the two of us in his

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 4: little factory and would shull be spray painting?

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: And he said, mate, just keep that down. I'm trying

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: to watch Days of Our Lives.

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: Amazing was some of the storylines. My favorite. I used

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: to go home from school at lunchtime to watch Days

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: of Our Lives. Remember what be saying to you? Do

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: you remember when Marlena had an exorcism, she became possessed

31
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: by the devil and had these crazy green eyes. She

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: remember that thing with Roman. Did he die or didn't

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: he die?

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: So said the guy that died, and he came back

35
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: as another guy.

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, another guy came back and he'd been brainwashed to

37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: think he was Roman, and Marlena his wife, it says,

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: fair enough, and starts having a relationship with him, and

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: then the real Roman comes back.

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Hang on a minute, to Marlena, you accepted that pretty well.

41
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Don't even look like me the swamp girl. Remember this

42
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: storyline where they find someone in a swamp. It turns

43
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: out she's the princess and have to get it back

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: on the throne. I mean, so many extraordinary stories for

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Days of Our Lives. When I remember the people who

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: lived next door to my grandparents, So this is going

47
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: back thirty forty years. He vowed he'd never retire until

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Days of Our Lives finished because he just couldn't handle

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: that it was on in the house. So he passed

50
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: away before Days of up, before he's able to retire.

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: It's so catchy to watch it.

52
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: I just remember thinking, you know, at that age, you're

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: not interested in any sort of TV like that, and

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: I was watching it and you just suddenly.

160
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: do it, with a smirk on his face. But then

161
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: he'd spend twenty minutes telling me what happened. He'd sit

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: there and watch it and no, and then he thought

163
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: it was a great lark and he'd sit there and

164
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: tell me what happened. He do you want to know

165
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: what fell?

166
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 7: And so did.

167
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: But then the final figure happened, which I've still got.

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: I came home one afternoon and he opens up this

169
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: piece of cardboard and he said, I've got something to

170
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: show you. And he'd sat down and drawn up a

171
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: map of all the characters who slept with who who

172
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: was the son and daughter. It was like a family tree,

173
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: except with activities involved. And he had all these names

174
00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: like Victor kookyas Patch was one eyed peete. He just

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: this was the situation anyway, But we used to have

176
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: a There was the few altercations over just putting the

177
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: flipp and tape.

178
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: Don't watch it, don't tell me what happened, showed me.

179
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: Look at cardboard school project isn't quite the same.

180
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: That's grants for divorces.

181
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: I think so too.

182
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm a teacher, and I must admit there was this

183
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: one day a girl year twelve. You get to know

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: them a bit better, and she said she used to

185
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: watch it and I'll never forget. I said, I've got

186
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: something funny to show, and I brought it in and

187
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: then I had about half a dozen kids standing around.

188
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: They had all been watching Days of our Lives see

189
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: year twelve s and they are in a step. So

190
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: it was like this lesson on Days of our Lives

191
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: as well. But anyway, all thanks to my husband.

00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, that should be an HC subject.

193
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: Maybe Days of our Lives.
