64
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Lex, good morning. My weakest claim to say, which I

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: am desperately hoping is golden kettle worthy, is that I

66
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: had Prince come into the Uptown theater I was working

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: at in Minneapolis as a teenager, and he rented out

68
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: the whole cinema so he could watch more holland Drive

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: by himself without the pedestrians around him.

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: This is a good of course, he's from. I was

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: Pacer Parkers as well. He hide out and just so

72
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: he can watch it by himself, mar hulland Drive.

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: Just by himself, while he had his like posse of

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: people with him.

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Yep. And he came power generation there or the machinery wrestler.

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: And yet about a half a dozen like people in

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: a bodyguard person, and we had to block the doors

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: and nobody else could go in and bother them while

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: they were watching the movie. I corn and candy and yeah.

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: Sod, like, is there way to hire out the whole Cinnemore?

81
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: Did he literally buy every ticket, every.

82
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: Scene, every ticket like he had. I didn't get to talk.

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I was pretty little more rock sauce behaving. That is

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: what a great story he gave you as well.

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,080

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,640

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: all the tickets, and he said, we want to buy it.

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,560

Speaker 9: You're listening to the Christian Carls Show podcast.

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 8: Damn oh hello, hi us. My weakest claim to fame

109
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 8: is that my parents in the nineteen sixties had Skippy

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 8: the Kangaroo in there having a cup of tea. And

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 8: it was actually that they took photos of it in

112
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 8: the Sun paper. Yeah, so that was a very long

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 8: time ago, because I'm getting very old.

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Skippy's really old. I mean he's act I forget about

115
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: you do.

116
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: Where was he at your own dad's house?

117
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: Was he on tour a No, hotel in Richmond?

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 8: It was like hotel in Richmond?

119
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Were was this in there with some ladies or what

120
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: was going on?

121
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 8: They just went into a publicity stunt because my parents

122
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 8: because Channel nine used to be around the corner, so

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 8: Channel nine used to come in quite.

124
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: A bit Skippy.

125
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: I think what happened is the show got canceled and.

126
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Heng to see it, don't you drinking all day every day? Yeah?

Speaker 7: How are you.

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm good, Matt. Welcome to the show. So what's your

134
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: week claim to fame?

135
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Thank you? My week claim to fame is that my

136
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: wife's great granddad invented the Chico roll out in Bendigo.

137
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: This is strong. It's actually very strong.

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: And I think his name was Frank mcin Crowe. And

139
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: I think the story behind it is he was in

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: Asia and found this nice kind of similar thing to

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: the Chico role. I couldn't find it over here in Australia,

142
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: so he's made it himself.

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: Wow. That's incredible, Matt. Thank you very much your story.

164
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 6: Morning Christian. My weakest claim to fame was that in

165
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 6: the mid nineties I worked in a video store with

166
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 6: my brother and we served Geene Simmons from Kiss who

167
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 6: never returned his videos.

168
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: That man, come on, Jean, they're beyond late and please

169
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,760

171
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Yes, what a great scam when you're on tour, go

172
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: and get all those movies, not bring them back.

173
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 7: Predator Commando absolutely and back then as well, I used

174
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 7: to accumulate lately for every days his videos will return late,

175
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 7: and I ended up writing up his late seas to

176
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 7: the value of around twenty grand so.

177
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: Which is about five years later when the store closed down.

178
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,240
