WEBVTT - MINI: Wonder Year 2000

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Hi day, Hello, Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, so well we've got the still trending where

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like the second part of the hangover

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>from yesterday's three topic Tuesday. Things you couldn't go anywhere

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>near in your home? For me, it was all about

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the music center, that massive music center that used to

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 2>be the entire length of the front room wall, and

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it was the settings on the graphic equalizer. Couldn't go

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>anywhere near that. That was my dad's domain. So what couldn't

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>you touch at home? Patsy? Please share what you said?

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Was yesterdabout your dad and what he had a collection of.

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, his tobacco pipes. He had a collection of tobacco

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 3>pipes and they were placed very carefully on mum's lovely

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 3>wooden sideboard. But he had them at a certain angle,

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 3>so he knew that if you'd fiddled picked one up,

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 3>or if my brothers tried to smoke one, he knew

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>because they're on an exact sort of right angle.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Things parents had as well. Sideboards. Do we still have

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>sideboards the younger generation? Jackie, you still loving a sideboard?

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Because sideboard the phrase side board means your nan and

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>granddad and your mom doesn't it it's a it's a certain phrase.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 4>The sideboard my mum and dad's sideboard was this old

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 4>sewing machine that I guess got passed down through the families,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 4>one of the ones where it still had the foot

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 4>pedales where you could bring. Yeah, and then they use

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 4>that as their sideboard.

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I obviously chat to my mum now in England

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>is via zoom every week and I still I always

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>ask her to sit just in front of the old

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>sideboard because it just reminds me of still being a kid.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 5>Mom.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>She sits just in front of the sideboard that has

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>been there since I was a young kid. Yeah, sideboards

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and nest of occasionals. Those tables within tables within tables,

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>things that only exist in you naningrad. Yes, that's it.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't see them in home. We've got a nest

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>of occasionals. I'd never have a thing that was a

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>table that a smaller table another too.

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 4>What was the need why did Yeah?

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Because it didn't get used.

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 4>You couldn't keep stuff on those smaller tables because they

0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 4>had to shift back under the.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Y had the umber lumpas come around for to watch

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the game. Or something. You might need some different smaller

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>ones and smaller ones and smaller ones. Anyway, what couldn't

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you touch in your house? Growing up on Facebook? In

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the lounge room. In the lounge room, we were never

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>allowed to walk on the carpet. Sorry, Paul, I don't

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.359
<v Speaker 2>levitate on it.

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>It's insane.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 2>I need to walk on the carpet.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Just do a running jump land on the couch.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Karen. We couldn't go anywhere near mum's good scissors. This

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>came up a lot yesterday. I didn't know that. You're

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>right though, when you think about it, Mum did have

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>her good scissors. You had the crappy ones. Lenny Christian,

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like we had a very similar upbringing. The

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 2>thing that I could never go anywhere near was the

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>lawn mower. Yeah, it was the same for me. My

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>dad actually told me it was more dangerous than a

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>helicopter blade. Yeah, never go near the lawnmower, like I

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>was going to start the lawnmarp anyway, start cutting grass

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>for the neighbors. Melanie Dad's throne. It was an ugly

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>orange velvet chair that was really really comfortable and strategically.

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Nickx tol the fireplace, but you were never allowed to

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>sit in it. Well, Melanie, we had this amazing one

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>yesterday from a listener called Dave, who their dad's chair.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>You were allowed to sit in it only once a

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>year on your birthday whilst everyone sang you Happy birthday,

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and then you were ejected from the chair outside out,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>get out, that's dad's chair, all right? What couldn't you

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>touch in your home? In your house at home when

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>you were grown up nine one o four three. The

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>other thing we got some great calls on was memorabilia

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you own, if you own any memorabilia. We actually spoke

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to Peter Friedman's the Guys in the news at the moment,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.200

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>for a cool eight point eight million dollars.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Christian the Christian o'connells show podcast listening about the house

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that you grew up in.

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>How there were sideboards. It's just just the word the

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>phrase the image sideboard says to me, Mom and dad.

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Same with those that thing called a nest of occasionals,

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>which was a table, smaller table within it and in

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>a smaller table with than that one as Russian dolls,

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and Patsy just came to the studio during that song,

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>so that she has not one, not two, but three sideboards.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes, correct?

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Does that make me a nana?

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no, no, you're just keeping these traditions going.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 3>Just when we moved into the house, I had this

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 3>thing for like antique furniture, for like thirty style blackwood furniture.

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Do you know what'd be really nice? I think

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>it'd be grateful. We could for the next kind of

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>breakfast show merchandise if we could give away sideboards. Mine

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>have a show sideboard. Okay, we need to have a

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.200

<v Speaker 2>young artists or something. There's so many great ones here

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.400

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>the lines. Now we've got who got on here? Laurie,

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>come oning, good morning, Christian.

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 5>How are you.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm good mate, you're having a good week, Yes.

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 5>I am, thank you all right, so great.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Growing up? What couldn't you touch?

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 5>When we were growing up, my father was a member

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 5>of the Freemasons and he had a black briefcase. Now,

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 5>we were never allowed to shoop, we were never allowed

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 5>to know what was in it. So I used to

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 5>ask my mum and she'd say that secret men's business.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 5>So we never ever knew. And when he passed away,

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 5>my twin sister and I opened it and in it

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 5>was a pair of white gloves and a Bible.

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, they're so secretive, the Freemasons.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>They are around for all the world.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 3>The Freemasons, they normally keep there a printing. There was there,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>no an there.

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 5>You don't get an apron unless you're a master, which

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 5>I learned later on from my husband's father was a Mason,

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 5>so they usually would keep their jewels in it, special

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 5>jewels they get awarded as they move up the masonry.

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 3>My dad was a master, my grandfather. Yes, oh wow,

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>where do you think the old Godfather?

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they called it the Freemasons, but you know the

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 2>police known as the Godfather family.

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 4>Boo me into that chiropractice the way of the freemace.

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Case with their jewels and gloves, hurting gloves, so it's

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>big black leather gloves are busting people up, all right.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 5>It was a good excuse to just go for the

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 5>boys to get together for a drink.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>It probably wasn't even a freemason, just had a couple

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>of those things just to make it look like that.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to I hope I pronounced this right, is it? Yepper?

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 6>That is spot on, mate, Thank.

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 2>You very much. Yepper. What couldn't you go anywhere near

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>when you've grown up? What weren't you allowed to touch?

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 6>We were not allowed to touch when we were driving

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 6>and sitting in the back seat in my grandmother's car,

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 6>we weren't allowed to touch the dials for the settings for

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 6>the seats, well, the front seats. Yeah, because she told

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 6>us that if we did while the car was moving,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 6>it would roll over.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 2>That's that's amazing when I've not heard that before, But yeah,

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine. It was just it was just when

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>nowadays this all electronic, isn't it. You move the little

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 2>buttons forward and backwards for the settings on the seats

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and it was just that that round dial.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 4>I've still got that twist one.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll be careful Jack, don't make around that too much.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Still the car will turn over. That's great, Thank you

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>very much.

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:18.600

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I had a mate whose dad run a big

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>business and it was a self made man. It's a millionaire.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>He had his own bar like a Paul him as well,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>but he had behind his little actual bar it had

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>three stools. The other side of it. He actually had optics,

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, the options like for topping up your wine

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>glass and spirit glasses. Yeah, the optics, yes, said that

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>it almost could open up as a fully functioning bar

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>where you were, you paid and brought drinks. That's awesome, Scott.

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>You've got your dad's bar and what's the other one

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>calling in about.

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.320

<v Speaker 2>up in your house?

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 1>I was not allowed to touch with dad's tools, and

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and wivertide me as I did, and now I've become

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.000

<v Speaker 7>He ers.

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Sadly. I think I might start going this way in

<v Speaker 2>a couple of years time, even when that my new

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Finyl system turns up next week, I think I might

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>morph into finally become activated that they're not allowed to

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 2>touch the needle or anything that's my don't go anywhere

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>near that. Don't touch your dad's tools.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right. Yeah, because you know, if you moved

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 1>to Spanish, that was fine. But if you if you

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't put it back in exactly the same location as

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.320
