00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: a spillover from three topic Tuesday, which we did yesterday

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,880

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: still around, and it was what's the first thing you

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: ever saved up money for? Because I think if you

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: actually do take a moment to think about it, you

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: remember the very first thing you actually saved up, whether

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: it was your pocket money, your little piggy bank, or

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: whether it's like from a Saturday job or a part

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: time job. When you saved your own money to actually

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: go and buy something with your own money, it was

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: quite a moment in your life. This comes from Kim

15

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: money up for? This took me back to saving for

18
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: a box of Dorn't pencils. Oh yes, ult that big

19
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: sort of keyboard of them that the full keyboard.

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the full seventy two was the If you had that,

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: then you had all the colors year made.

22
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it was thirteen years old. This is all

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: I wanted, Christian. Those pencils. They were the Rolls Royce

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: of pencils. They came in boxes of twelve, twenty four.

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: Then there was the really big one. I thought there

26
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: was like a thirty six.

27
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I'm provy. Twenty two had like two

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: layers of pencil. You'd open up the box and then

29
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: you would have the chocolate. Yeah, a Cigarett layer underneath.

30
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Box with favor food that you're eating the pencils, maybe

31
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: out your way. A school friend had the twenty four

Speaker 2: from school, favorite costelles. Do you mean that that used

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: to grade pencils was like a two d or three

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: hs or something? That the lead in them was Grady

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: or something? And I really wanted those Derwins. I saved

Speaker 2: my pocket funny for money for months and finally had

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: enough for a pack of twenty four. I probably went

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: down to the news agents and asked a man behind

40
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: the counter for them. He said, do you want the twelves,

41
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: the twenty fours or the thirty six? I didn't know.

Speaker 1: Helen, Helen Christian.

103
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: I was eleven. I wanted this cassette player and I

104
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: didn't care if I had to wait for a better one.

105
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: I wanted this particular model and it was about thirty

106
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 4: dollars and it was a Panasonic and it came in

107
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: the leather case. And my dad said, oh, do you

108
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: want to wait for another model? You know we'll get

109
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: you a better one. No, no, no, I want this one.

110
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 4: I want this one. And then I would go home

111
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: and I would sit by the radio, Christian, and I

112
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: would hit record and record my favorite songs off the

113
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: radio and play them back on my cassette player. And

114
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: you know, I used to sit there and wait for

115
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 4: the songs, and I'd get really annoyed if I missed

116
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 4: the start of the song.

117
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: That I used to get really annoyed too when the

118
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: DJ would talk over the end of the song, which

119
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: I now do for a living.

120
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: I know, now annoying.

121
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: And DJ, you said, trash the last like forty seconds

122
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: of the Beastie Boys. Shut up. Now I am that guy.

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: This full circle. What was the first album you got

124
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: on cassette?

125
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Then, well, the first single I bought was going to

126
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 4: See My Baby Tonight by the Laddie Doves. And my

127
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: first album was split with Mac Rumors. And I would

128
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 4: lay by my records and I've still got most of

129
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 4: those vinyls today.

130
