Speaker 1: Welcome to the Christian No Commel Show podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, so in under three weeks it's actually twenty
Speaker 2: days time. We really really have a big thing that
Speaker 2: we've undertaken here, all right, So in under her twenty
Speaker 2: days time, we are going to be putting on our
Speaker 2: own school play. But for grown ups who never got
Speaker 2: a speaking part back in the day at their school
Speaker 2: play or their school musical. We're doing our very own
Speaker 2: version of Greece that we're going to call thanks to
Speaker 2: your ideas and suggestions, Grouse the Musical, set in the eighties,
Speaker 2: set here in.
Speaker 3: Australia, Greece is not what you heard. It's about ready
Speaker 3: full legal reasons. We're too in the show casting ever
Speaker 3: Rich Jose who never got a road with much speaking.
Speaker 2: Before we give you the good news that we're going
Speaker 2: to give you in a moment, Grouse the Musical. When
Speaker 2: I first move or two it five years ago to
Speaker 2: actually I was Hayles.
Speaker 4: Mcglonchlin said it to me once.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize whether it was an insult or what
Speaker 2: it actually meant, so I to ask Amish what it
Speaker 2: actually meant. Whenever I hear it's only normally used by
Speaker 2: certain age bracket.
Speaker 4: It ages people.
Speaker 2: It's second carbon dating here in Australia. If someone says
Speaker 2: Patsy uses it a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my parents' generation using seventy is hug What is
Speaker 5: the origin of it?
Speaker 4: Is it a Victoria thing? Is it national? I can't.
Speaker 5: I can find plenty of definitions of it. It can't
Speaker 5: find the origin of where grouse came from.
Speaker 2: I just asked her to producer Caitlin right, because she's
Speaker 2: in Queensland. I thought maybe they called it something different,
Speaker 2: you know, because even like a simple thing like a
Speaker 2: chicken palm has oh so we don't say that New
Speaker 2: Southern world, we don't call it that.
Speaker 4: So I didn't know.
Speaker 2: Whether there might be regional varieties as there is in Australia.
Speaker 2: She wellout, even thinking you saw it too. It stands
Speaker 2: for a great house. Sorry, what that's not why?
Speaker 4: Hamish macgonchlin told me it's a compliment. It's good. So
Speaker 4: is it in great house?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: It's too hot on the summer here.
Speaker 2: You haven't got the energy to say great as you
Speaker 2: go grouse, that's grouse.
Speaker 4: You live in a grouse.
Speaker 5: It might be true. I can't find anything on the
Speaker 5: internet to say that it's great.
Speaker 4: Let's just say it's true until proven otherwise.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's an adjective that means great, excellent, awesome, wonderful,
Speaker 5: popular in Australia, especially in the nineteen seventies and eighties.
Speaker 5: Example of use warnings grouse at cricket.
Speaker 4: So he's a great house at cricket. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: So normally the world of theater and even at school
Speaker 2: when we do school plays, drum productions. At school, there
Speaker 2: are auditions. I failed mine, A lot of you failed yours,
Speaker 2: which is why you didn't get why we didn't get
Speaker 2: a speaking pump.
Speaker 4: We're going to go against form. This may be a mistake.
Speaker 2: In three weeks time, we'll find out, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: This is going to be for the first time ever
Speaker 2: in theater and auditionless.
Speaker 4: I don't know that may affect ticket sales. But wait,
Speaker 4: we're not charging.
Speaker 2: Any money again going against form here, no money will
Speaker 2: be charged to the performance, nor should it be. So
Speaker 2: we're going to be in three weeks time. But there's
Speaker 2: no barrier, you simply talent barrier. You just have to
Speaker 2: want to be in it.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 2: Willingness is all you need tell me about talent. We
Speaker 2: don't in this show every single day, nor should you.
Speaker 2: We grouse in musical, which of course means great house.

Speaker 2: to be on me? Is called Grouse the musical?
Speaker 6: Yes I do. I'm happy to put my hand up
Speaker 6: and yeah, if it's okay, I wouldn't mind being Kiniki
Speaker 6: in the Tea Birds.
Speaker 4: What great character? Now? Why can I well?
Speaker 6: I always really the story goes back a while because
Speaker 6: I used to watch Greece with my sister growing up
Speaker 6: a lot. I'm talking like, you know, once a week
Speaker 6: we used to sit down and watch it. It was just
Speaker 6: our favorite thing to sit down and watch on the
Speaker 6: old Chess video and just absolutely love the movie. And
Speaker 6: my sister was Rizzo in a school production of Greece
Speaker 6: when she was in secondary school and I remember but
Speaker 6: that like it's yesterday, and so we always used to
Speaker 6: talk about Grace a lot and knew all the songs
Speaker 6: off by heart. And unfortunately she passed away a couple
Speaker 6: of years ago from cancer.
Speaker 4: IM sorry to hear about that, Simon.
Speaker 6: That's thanks mate. Yeah. So basically, when I listened to
Speaker 6: your show every morning with my kids, and when I
Speaker 6: heard this, I just thought, what a great idea, And
Speaker 6: it'd be a bit of a nod of the head
Speaker 6: to my sister to be honest, to come along and
Speaker 6: get involved and have a bit of fun. So and
Speaker 6: I always love I've just loved Kinnicki's character always so
Speaker 6: water blast and got on the phone and I'm sure
Speaker 6: my sister would be just laughing at her head off
Speaker 6: if she knew I was doing this.
Speaker 4: So what a beautiful story.
Speaker 2: First of all, thank you very much for sharing it
Speaker 2: with us and trusting us with it. So and something,
Speaker 2: but I think that's a beautiful way to keep the
Speaker 2: those lovely memories of you and your sister by doing this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure she'd be there chearing you one on the
Speaker 2: night actually, So.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's probably right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you are definitely You're the one and only
Speaker 2: Kinicky for us. There will be no other Kiniki's. It's
Speaker 2: your part. It's our privilege to get you on board.
Speaker 4: Simon.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a really nice Christian.
Speaker 4: Thank you a pleasure.
Speaker 2: Look forward to seeing you very soon. Kinicky, you hired.
Speaker 2: Well done, Simon, thank you all right.
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot.
