<v Speaker 1>We found out last week the passy bought itself a

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>news briefcase. In fact, I was actually wondering who has

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a briefcase this day and age, and one of the

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>people who came to get the photo with the three

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of us actually brought a photo. He spotted someone on

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>the tram last week with a brand new speakersman briefcase,

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>so one of them this morning. What did you spend

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>on your first paycheck? What did you buy with your

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>first paycheck? What did you do jackie boy?

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>My first job was boundary umpire at the local footy,

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>and I saved up for a bowler's hat which they

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>were in clockwork orange, and I thought would be a cool, different,

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>unique look for a teenage boy who was joined like

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>your punk music as well.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 3>She has a kind of auntie establishment look.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I was the late singer of a bend. I thought,

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what, this will be our like Bono has

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>his glasses, this will be my on stage persona.

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 2>The ball actually even did two weeks two classes of

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>not wearing it no circus no like circus school to learn.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>How to do radios game. It's the big tops loss

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 3>was that the frying flying fruit fly circus they were.

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 2>It was just off Brunswick Street. I forget what they were.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Called, of course, it was just I remember school.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Rocking up with my hat, thinking that there would be

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>other hat people there, but they weren't. They were jugglers,

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>people with the dire blo. So I didn't learn too

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 2>much from circus school, and I didn't make it to

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:34.840

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Was proper leather, but it was about I think even

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>if I put it on now it would still look

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>too big. It was one of those where roomy.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.520
