Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian No come on show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jack has been shopping for something which I think is
Speaker 2: normally for someone who has thirty to forty years on you.
Speaker 3: Well, we're transitioning from a front loader washing machine to
Speaker 3: a top loader washing machine.
Speaker 4: What a transition.
Speaker 3: Because the guy our old washing machine broke. The guy
Speaker 3: came out, tinkered with the front loader for fifteen minutes,
Speaker 3: said nap, it's not working. Charges two hundred bucks for
Speaker 3: the call out.
Speaker 2: Feet that's awful.
Speaker 3: But before he left, he said, you know what, get
Speaker 3: I recommend you get a top loader because I come
Speaker 3: out all the time to front loaders, have to repair them.
Speaker 3: I never go out to top loaders. So we bought
Speaker 3: yesterday a top loader.
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could still get hold of top loaders.
Speaker 2: They feel like a Nanon Grander thing.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 4: You go. You bet.
Speaker 2: Neil Mitchell's got one. Cleans his smalls in there every day.
Speaker 3: You walk into the showroom. There's fifty front loaders. There's
Speaker 3: three or four options for top loaders.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the oldest Yeah.
Speaker 3: I actually wonder if it's not that he goes to
Speaker 3: less toploaders because they're more reliable. But they're just it's
Speaker 3: not in circulation anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if there's.
Speaker 2: Only so you only saw like three or four in
Speaker 2: the store.
Speaker 3: There's only three or four in the store where frontloader
Speaker 3: options you have, you know, thousands, So.
Speaker 2: I thought you, I'll just presume that you were getting
Speaker 2: a top loader because you just open up rather than
Speaker 2: have to bend down a bit. Because you're a man
Speaker 2: that likes minimum effort in life, and so I know
Speaker 2: at the back with well known on the show, it's
Speaker 2: that issues as why you must be flowing business cars
Speaker 2: alos the back and flare up so it's not laziness thing.
Speaker 3: Well that's why I like it as well, because it's
Speaker 3: it's easier to get the clothes in, but it is
Speaker 3: harder because I have to now take down my ikeashells
Speaker 3: that I bought built above the front loader. Why is
Speaker 3: it quite big and it has Yeah.
Speaker 2: It feels like it's some sort of space hatch to
Speaker 2: me now, doesn't it? Or you're living in a lawn laundromat.
Speaker 3: So I want to know if top loaders people have
Speaker 3: experienced with toploaders. Do they last twenty years like the
Speaker 3: repair man said, or are they just does no one
Speaker 3: have them? Anymore, and they're dying.
Speaker 2: I'd be stunned if we hear from anyone under the
Speaker 2: age of thirty.
Speaker 4: Who owns a top loader.
Speaker 2: I went to bet we get a lot of the
Speaker 2: old Gnarhlia listeners calling in now, right, the golden oldies
Speaker 2: who love this station.
Speaker 4: Right, we're calling in who love a top loader? Mam,
Speaker 4: madda toploader? Granddadada toplader. I'm got a toploader. If you're
Speaker 4: a top loader, you're from a long line of top loader.
Speaker 3: I think by the end of the week I'll be
Speaker 3: saying the same thing. Toploaders are superior.
Speaker 1: How washing machine?
Speaker 4: All right, okay, let's go too loaders.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I never thought I say this on a radio show.
Speaker 2: Do you have a top loader? If you do, you
Speaker 2: under the age of thirty.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Most of you think Jack is the is the cool
Speaker 2: one of the show, right, he's the millennial. You know,
Speaker 2: he's in touch, he's a hipster. And then he comes
Speaker 2: in today and he tells us that he's gone out
Speaker 2: shopping for a new washing machine, and old.
Speaker 4: Grandpa Jack is your son, not your grandson. Okay, it's
Speaker 4: got himself a top loader. Top loaders to me that
Speaker 4: are the domain of naningraand Dad's house.
Speaker 2: In the pantry utility.
Speaker 3: They're a dying breed of washing machine. They only had
Speaker 3: three available at the.
Speaker 4: Store, of course they did.
Speaker 3: But I think their superior mind comes today or tomorrow,
Speaker 3: and I can't wait to use it. Don't have to
Speaker 3: crouch down anymore. And apparently they last twenty plus years.
Speaker 2: And look at the top.
Speaker 3: Way of fans come float into the court because.
Speaker 2: You ask anyone, you know, they're sort of When have
Speaker 2: they ever been asked to share the laugh on any
Speaker 2: breakfast show anywhere in the world?
Speaker 4: Do you love a top loader? Of course they are.
Speaker 4: They're part of a rare sort of cults.
Speaker 2: Aren't they guarantee? None of them under thirty? None of
Speaker 2: them under thirty.
Speaker 4: That's fine.
Speaker 2: Now, Patsy, where are you stand at You haven't got

Speaker 5: one minute. If you show between the car and my office.
Speaker 5: My daughter rang and said, I must ring you to
Speaker 5: tell you how good top loaders are and how long
Speaker 5: they live. And she's fifteen, nearly sixteen, and we we
Speaker 5: love the washing machine. We love it so much.
Speaker 4: This is great. So your daughter goes, mom, mommy 'enogaly.
Speaker 4: There's not one minute gap. The moment been waiting for
Speaker 4: you ordered all your life. This is your moment, mom,
Speaker 4: call the man.
Speaker 5: And the funny thing is last year when you did
Speaker 5: the washing machine give away, we tried and tried and
Speaker 5: tried to get through because of the hot water intake issue.
Speaker 5: So I have to fill it up with a bucket
Speaker 5: at the minute. But I've got a man coming to
Speaker 5: fix it. So we tried to get a new one.
Speaker 2: But you have proved, my boy, you've got to fit
Speaker 2: up with the market because you're from the stream.
Speaker 4: I've got that old, that old handle thing. Put the
Speaker 4: clothes in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I won't say that I use my grandmother's
Speaker 5: old scrubbing boards.
Speaker 3: Say this is not a great advertise. The whole water
Speaker 3: from the sink and carry it in a bucket over
Speaker 3: to the washing machine.
Speaker 4: And when you say man coming to fix, is it
Speaker 4: a time traveler? You know? Is it doctor Emmett Brown?
Speaker 4: Just wait for I've come from the eighteen hundreds.
