1
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: Room, cutting room, the cutting room floor. Well, this is

2
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: something that we've swept up on the cutting room floor.

3
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: I came across this story earlier in the week and

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: we just didn't get a chance to talk about it

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: because we've been looking after Blaze the Bird. This is

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: interesting that Americans have only just learned about the Australian

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: game Goon of Fortune, and it has been written about

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: in the American magazine Food and Wine that has an

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: explanation of how to play, as they say, the sacred

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: Aussie drinking game Goon of Fortune. Here's what they have

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: said about the rules. The rules are simple. Attach a

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: wine bag to one of the prongs of the hills

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: hoist clothesline. A large group of people ideally eight to twelve,

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: stands in a circle around the hills hoist. Sounds like druids.

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: Someone spins the hills hoist and whoever is closest to

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: the goon once it stops moving, must take a drink

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: directly from its spout. This is a revolutionary to them.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: They've never heard of this, they've never heard the term

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: goon bag. They've never well, I'm sure they've got their

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: own backyard alcoholism. Still. This features a hills hoist.

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, do Americans even have a hills hoist?

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: No, hills hoist is an Australians.

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: How do they drive their clothes? Then?

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, I guess you can have a close on. There's

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: not a hills hoist.

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that the hills hoist as we know

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: at the round one. Yeah, I guess they have those

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: crazy pull out ones, all the ones that come out

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: from the.

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: Set, everything in the dryer. Do you know Americans don't

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: know what a kettle is? Really, they never boil the

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: kettle to make a cup of tea. They put or coffee.

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: They make it in the microwave. That's weird, isn't it

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: When you discover that they don't have a kettle?

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: That is weird. Have you ever played Goon of Fortune? No?

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Have you?

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: They have once, but it just didn't work. There wasn't

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: enough people playing and it would never come around to

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: the person. You know, it kept the hills hoise was

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: such that it would end up opposite. There was only

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: three of us play, so it did end up.

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: Now you need to have a number of players so

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: that it will invariably stop me someone. The Americans apparently

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: have a game that They said, well, this is like

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: we've got that called slap the bag, right, But that's

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: what that is. Slapped the bag insisted of drinking from

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: a goon bag, but then just slapping it when you're done.

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: That's not the same. But what about this, This is

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: what Americans do that is so weird. This country singer

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Ali Walker, she did this recently. You know how we

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: have a shoey where you poor. Is it usually beer,

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: isn't it? Or champagne if you're a Formula one star?

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well Daniel Ricardo started it. Yeah, he got Patrick

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Stewart to do a shoey. Shoey's have been around Stewart,

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the actor. Patrick Stewart, the actor was did a shoey

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: with I'm not making this up. Daniel Riccardo encouraged him

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to do a shoey in front of the crowd.

58
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: How weird. This is an Australian thing, though, isn't it.

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: You poured alcohol into your dirty shoe, into your sweaty,

60
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: dirty shoe and drink it. Well, what about this? This

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: is another step? This is an American thing. This is

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: where this woman did it. You pour a beer not

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: into a shoe, but into the mouth of a catfish.

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: They do this in Nashville, and then you pour that

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: down your throat. You pour a can of Budwiser down

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: the neck of the dead catfish, and then you pour

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: the soiled contents down your own throat.

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: It might actually make budwise it taste good well.

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: The tradition began apparently when the Detroit Red Wings used

70
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: to throw an octopus there's an ice hockey team onto

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: the ice to symbolize the fact that the team needed

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: eight playoffs yeah to win the Stanley Cup. So then

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: the tradition of throwing a catfish and ice which means

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: maybe I have to win once onto the ice. And

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: then this then became a semi regular ritual where you'd

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: pour beer down a catfish and drink it out.

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: It's interesting now traditions we're drinking. What about the yard glass?

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: And I bear this. I bring this up because you're

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: son's twenty first is this weekend.

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: It's not going to be a yard glass.

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I remember years ago when I used to be weddings,

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: buddies anything, DJ Man. I was doing a twenty first

83
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: for a young man called Darren, and they brought out

84
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: half a yard glass for him to skull.

85
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a full yard glass or fill

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: a half one up.

87
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: No, it was a half it was it was a

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: junior burger yard, specifically blown by the glass blowers that

89
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: made it.

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Thank you, okay, thanks for the detail.

91
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Anyway, he didn't have I don't think Darren was very

92
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: popular because there wasn't many mates at his party. So

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: he's gone and sculled the half a yard guys glass.

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: And while I was down there going from a record

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: so I to put the Happy Birthday so on, I

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: hear this crowd yelling out loudly. It seems that Darren

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: has projectile vomited all over. The only person from his

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: work that showed up. Oh no, it was a potato

99
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: bacon lamb.

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, half lamb on a spit.

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: That's the twenty first half.

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: A later of KB, I found a photo from my

103
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: own twenty first so that I sent to Jack saying,

104
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: look at my shindy. It's a photo of me just

105
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: wearing normal clothes. I don't even think I was dressed up.

106
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I was wearing makeup. My mom, who

107
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: was only in her forties, is standing next to me

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: looking she'd made her own outfit, I think from a

109
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: buttery pattern. So these two shapeless women, so standing there

110
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: and I'm cutting a key shaped cake, and I look

111
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: at hundred people that are coming to the pub tonight

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: for Jack's birthday. You know, I've got to put my

113
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: credit card down on the bar and off we go.

114
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: It's a different world, isn't it.

115
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Well, how about you just give that credit card to

116
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: me and I'll look after for you.

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: I think that would be so generous, Brendan. I should

118
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: get Jack to drink out of a catfish. He's been

119
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: Catfished's

120
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Congasma for more cholsey, then just trying room for
