WEBVTT - MINI: 14 Year Old Dreams

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them, Christian no Common Show podcast. Yesterday on

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the show, we're a call from a very charming young man, Evander.

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the call, this is how he

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 1>signs off. I've been doing this Lork almost twenty four years.

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>No one's ever signed off like this.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for your time, Christian, still love them. Thank

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>you for your time, Christians.

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I never hear it again, but just to get that

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>once in a career is a beautiful moment, you know. Anyway,

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>while we're chatting to him, towards the end of the call,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I was saying how well spoken he was, and Evander,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got to say, what do you want to do

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>when you grow up? Who've got any idea? Because if

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you ever want to do radio, you have a great

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.199
<v Speaker 1>way of talking. You could easily take over from me.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks Christian, Yeah, what.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to do with Vander?

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Yep, go over that. Then. It's one of the hardest

0:00:55.680 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>passes we ever had on the show. And whatever he

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>literally passed away. Those headphones have my being handed over

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 1>to the young Padawana so that I'll have so much

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>money I'd own the station and the group that own

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>all the other stations with my robotics company. I love

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the ambition. I believe in Evander he will do that.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe in Evanda will more than I believe in myself.

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>You go for it, you go for it. And it

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of the dreams we all had at fourteen.

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>We all have various dreams at fourteen or what you'll

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>think the future of your life and the future grown

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>up you is going to be Jack? What was it

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for you? Rockstar at fourteen?

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent rockstar had the guitar out had was

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 3>trying to cobble together a band at.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>My high school.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I enjoy this job. But imagine me

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 3>traveling the world now on stage the next huge rock band.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 3>You guys would be wanting to interview me. Are you

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 3>still there?

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I didn't think it was going to take

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>a turn like that. I thought that sort of would

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>be a nice thing just to talk about, just you know,

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the dreams were at fourteen. I don't really want to

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>get called some people who then are going to sort

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of say where they are right now and you're you. Also,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you're in a great position. You have a great job

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>right now, you have a job.

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>I love this job.

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Earlier I heard about earlier. I like this job. But

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>what would the band have been called? Then? The band

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 1>that should have become the big thing?

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 3>I had a few names lined up. One was show Pony.

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Say No More and the other ones love the name

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>show Pony, going to show pony from now on. You

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>are like a show pony. You did become show pony

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in a way. You are this show's pony. You're a

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>beautiful little pony, and sometimes you gotta be real careful

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>with that pony. You give you a little nip or

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>give you a little kick. You don't know what he

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>get in with that pony, but he's a beautiful pony

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in that paddock.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>The other band name was the high Rollers.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh dear, terrible, terrible.

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>But show funny because we weren't high rollers. That was

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>so people would be like, ah, they're just like you

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>and me, but they're pretending to be high rollers.

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we know what stopped you achieving those dreams.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>He's not alternaty, he's not got show, Pony right or

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the high Rollers. He's just got that robotics company.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday when I said, oh, it's like a fan of

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk, he actually want this, I can take God

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>leave he's not that smart, all right. So, Patsy, you

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>at fourteen, what were your dreams?

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 5>My dream was to become an FM newsreader for a

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 5>major metropolitan Melbourne station. Seriously, it was fourteen year old dreams.

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, you're not there on your hands and knees praying, Oh,

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>dear God, please protect my family in FM. Do you

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>know what that is? God? It's frequency modulation.

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 5>In my dream, God, if I could.

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>In a metro station, not stuck out here in the

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>middle of nowhere.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.960

<v Speaker 1>I want to be a carpenter. When I was fourteen,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.560

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>own business in nineteen seventy four. Retired last year. Listen

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 1>to you guys every morning, I reckon I be around

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>three hundred plus homes. Loved every single minute of it,

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>don Ana, What a lovely thing to say.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.120

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>go to Andrew now Andrew, Yeah, good morning guys.

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my dream at fourteen was to become a professional

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Formula one driver overseas.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, So, like Lewis Hamilton, you want to be

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that level.

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I ended up self funding a go kart when

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 4>I was seventeen and so I took a part time job.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>A super much it's a leth or. My mate wanted

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a four whelaw one driver as well. He

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>was a crazy Irish kidney. He had his go krt

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and his mum and dad were ferrying him around every

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>weekend those races. So Hamilton's where they all start, isn't it.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean obviously Matt Hamilton, Mark Webber who was

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.799
<v Speaker 4>sort of my year, he took the dream and went overseas.

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, they all start and go cut Christians. So yes,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 4>I made a start. But it's a competitive industry as

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 4>you probably know. And you know a lot of guys

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 4>want to get to the top and a lot of

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>guys angels want to get to the top. But civil

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 4>engineer these days, star design roads. I don't race on

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 4>them these days. So there you go.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But you should enjoy for me to one of it.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, of course.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a great sports not to see. You know,

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Mark Webber did really well, Ricardo is going well. I mean,

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Halberton is a star, and yeah it's a great sport

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean and Neil said here next month, and yeah,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 4>you know that's it's a really good it's an upside

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 4>down aeroplane, but yeah, basically, but yeah, they're really good.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>It does appear to me. To me, it's not been

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>stretching to rocket, you know. And then they're made to

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>drive in it for like five hours. Andrew, thank you

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>very much. You called take care, have a good day.

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Tom Christian.

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Your prize to that true that I like that you

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>started something. And let's go to Darren. Darren, good morning.

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 6>You get a Christian. When I was Forday, my mother

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 6>brought me the Guinness Book of Records and I said, mom,

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 6>one day, one day, I'm going to I'm going to

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 6>break one of these records. And it took me twenty

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 6>thirty odd years, but I ended up for the community
