Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends that are Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: It's a big day for this today on the way online.
Speaker 3: On streets, your food heroes, the Nuffies, the earliest up
Speaker 3: on the wally, from groundsand to goods. Everyone is welcome,
Speaker 3: just not calling.
Speaker 2: For the last two weeks then we've been asking you
Speaker 2: to tell us about unsung legends that we can put
Speaker 2: on our footy Wall of Fame up on Lagon Street.
Speaker 2: It's ready for you to go and see. It looks incredible.
Speaker 2: So many amazing people that you've told us about. We'll
Speaker 2: tell you about that during the next half an hour.
Speaker 2: Who is up there and why? Before that, though, yes too,
Speaker 2: on the show there was a lot of drama. We
Speaker 2: actually had a lot of calls about what we need
Speaker 2: to do to make the unveiling work. This morning, at
Speaker 2: about quarter to eight, Lord Mayor Sully cap is coming
Speaker 2: down to part of this, which is great, but it
Speaker 2: means it's God to look great. Can't waste her time.
Speaker 4: And we didn't know, not even forty eight hours out
Speaker 4: that she would be there. So we're scrambling now to
Speaker 4: make a covering for an eleven meter war.
Speaker 2: So producer Kaitlin, where are things now? When we left yesterday,
Speaker 2: we weren't sure what was going to be made. We
Speaker 2: were looking for tall people jack side, which is a
Speaker 2: great idea of having individual curtains. They're holding a curtain
Speaker 2: in front of each artwork and then they just dropped
Speaker 2: to their knees.
Speaker 5: Yep, that's right. Scrambling is a great word to use.
Speaker 5: Thank you, cal eight more people. It just we just added,
Speaker 5: you know, maybe eight more hours to the day because
Speaker 5: we need to make those curtains, and so we.
Speaker 2: Had she's a little bit angry with you, and she
Speaker 2: was looking at you. That's okay, added eight more hours
Speaker 2: to the day, eight more hours to a day, so
Speaker 2: the producers watched a thirty two hour day. Yes, so.
Speaker 4: I thought we were just getting big off cuts from
Speaker 4: that lady who worked at the fabric That's why I thought, yeah,
Speaker 4: the broken biscuits, Yes we.
Speaker 6: Did, but they're just off cuts. They're not actual curtains.
Speaker 5: So we had to get a seamstress involved and to
Speaker 5: do eight curtains and a full black drop because we
Speaker 5: actually need to have something fully covering the wall, because
Speaker 5: we can't expect our eight tall people to just stand
Speaker 5: there for three.
Speaker 4: Hours, so fair enough.
Speaker 5: So our seamstress Tony, who is absolutely amazing, works at
Speaker 5: missus Knock.
Speaker 2: Does he work for missus Knock?
Speaker 6: Correct? Missus?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, only the finest seamstress can work for
Speaker 2: missus Knock. Sounds like a character from Thing. If you
Speaker 2: don't behave children, you will have to work with Missus Knock.
Speaker 4: She stitches you into the bak. She could be a
Speaker 4: good no.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah, she comes good in the end. Who's there,
Speaker 2: missus Knock? Sorry? Carry on?
Speaker 6: So it took hours, twelve hours to complete.
Speaker 2: Our curt.
Speaker 1: On.
Speaker 2: You can do it.
Speaker 6: Tiny worked till midnight midnight last night.
Speaker 2: He worked till midnight on that sewing machine. His fingers
Speaker 2: must have been bleeding.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, he did some.
Speaker 2: Midnight for free. We're not going to pay them anything?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean we can, but then we should.
Speaker 2: You're the real missus No here, he didn't even free.
Speaker 2: But he doesn't know that. He is this right now,
Speaker 2: battling up his fingers. Michael Flatley's toes. Their fingers are
Speaker 2: floating up a minute, free missus knocking you in there?
Speaker 4: His kids are like, Dad, why did you miss my recital?
Speaker 4: Last night? I was up until midnight for the family
Speaker 4: to put food on the table.
Speaker 2: We've got to kill him something.
Speaker 6: We'll give him something.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Oh my god, awful crafty compliments that you
Speaker 2: make me occasionally for some underwhelming misser, just a compliment.
Speaker 2: Slip his name on it. Pat's that frame.
Speaker 5: The reason that it was extended also that you didn't know.
Speaker 5: Now this wall is ten meters, so we have a
Speaker 5: piece of black fabric that goes to ten meters all
Speaker 5: the way along the wall. And because it's going to
Speaker 5: it could dip in the middle. He has added these
Speaker 5: extra strong and tough tassels at the end of each side.
Speaker 2: Like a kind of seamstress no nails correct to hold
Speaker 2: it up and to keep the weight of it held
Speaker 2: up on two ladders either side. Have we all got
Speaker 2: an idea of what's happened? I have no idea. Do
Speaker 2: you actually know?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, So We've got a ladder on each side of
Speaker 5: the ten meter wall, and the one big black sheet
Speaker 5: is going to cover all of it.
Speaker 2: I've got it now.
Speaker 5: Our ten o eight tall people don't have to hold
Speaker 5: it for three hours. They will come in at the
Speaker 5: last minute. The black sheet will be pulled down.
Speaker 2: Are the two sheets. Now there's the eight individual sheets
Speaker 2: and then one over mega sheet.
Speaker 5: Correct, yeah, yeah, and then that mega sheet will be
Speaker 5: dropped right before with the when the eight tall people
Speaker 5: are in front of each frame, and then the mayor
Speaker 5: Sally Cap reality.
Speaker 2: You've got two degrees, do you understand? I think so.
Speaker 4: My idea for the eight tall people was so that
Speaker 4: we didn't have to do the big curtain. Now we've
Speaker 4: done both.
Speaker 2: An extra eight hours sleep.
Speaker 4: We need one or the other. We didn't need both.
Speaker 6: We need to make it look as sorry, we need
Speaker 6: to make it look as good as we can for
Speaker 6: Sally Cap.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I can't picture it all. My picture is
Speaker 4: Tony like a poor Rumpelstiltskin running that all my.
Speaker 2: It's put me on a downer head of today's show,
Speaker 2: to be honest, honest, see this is I want Lord
Speaker 2: Mayor to go round. See Tony now given some sort
Speaker 2: of the keys of the city or something, or a
Speaker 2: baseball cap, I don't know if they've got them in
Speaker 2: the office there, or a compliment slip that she signs
Speaker 2: like the ones I have here.
Speaker 5: No, trust me, it's gonna look fantastic. She's going to
Speaker 5: be impressed Tony Tony will be paid and he's really
Speaker 5: happy to see his work up on our go.
Speaker 2: Down that all right. Now I'm going to paint an
Speaker 2: extra frame with Tony in it by that sewing machine,
Speaker 2: and he's looking, go, wait, no money. I just assumed
Speaker 2: i'd be paint just twelve hours of non stog sewing
Speaker 2: for free. Like I said, Big day today up on
Speaker 2: the Harley. Tony was so sorry. Christian Connell Show Podcast, Patsy,
Speaker 2: do you understand what's happening with the curtains?
Speaker 7: Not an idea?
Speaker 8: Clear as mud?
Speaker 7: No, yes, or will be revealed?
Speaker 2: What are we missing, Caitlin? What are we missing about?
Speaker 2: There's a wall online on street ten meters wide, eight
Speaker 2: pictures as part of this mural, our Footy Wall of Fame. Okay,
Speaker 2: correct what i I'm lord Now, I'm gonna be Sally
Speaker 2: cap here. I'm turning up in a limousine or something.
Speaker 6: You walking, you.
Speaker 5: See amazing fanfare, there's all these it's amazing.
Speaker 6: There is a big sheet.
Speaker 8: Covering the walls.
Speaker 5: Review and then there's eight tall people standing there with
Speaker 5: a curtain in front of the big black wall eight curtains.
Speaker 2: Wait, why is there a black wall? Because if they're
Speaker 2: standing in front of it, and there's eight of them.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the shield, the buffer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we're going to bring them in last minute
Speaker 5: because we don't want eight tall people to get really
Speaker 5: tired and then drop it as the moment's about to heat.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm getting it now. I just don't get why
Speaker 4: we need both options. Yesterday we couldn't think of a
Speaker 4: way to cover the whole wall at once. So that's
Speaker 4: why we came up with.
Speaker 2: The crux of this, because if we can, if we
Speaker 2: can now have one great look at mega curtain.
Speaker 4: That's all we need.
Speaker 2: That's all we need. And then Sanny just pulls something
Speaker 2: and it drops.
Speaker 6: It doesn't look sleek in that.
Speaker 2: It's not true, Schmick. It's okay, you can say, Schmick.
Speaker 5: It is six pieces of fabric sewn together and it's
Speaker 5: purely to just cover the wall until I eight tall
Speaker 5: people walk up to the wall and stand in front
Speaker 5: because we don't want them tied so well.
Speaker 2: Then the secondary backdrop curtain falled away form gone.
Speaker 5: Only eight people standing there with a curtain each in
Speaker 5: front of them, and you still can't see the big root.
Speaker 2: Say this, I say this now a lot of moving.
Speaker 4: Pieces, and.
Speaker 2: My experiences radio more than one none of them.
Speaker 4: What we got to keep it simple. That's what we've
Speaker 4: weren't on this show.
Speaker 6: Okay, we can just do the eight if.
Speaker 4: We want to know what's going on.
Speaker 2: I support you. I'm just saying this chessboarder, there are
Speaker 2: too many pieces in here. I'm looking at eighteen nights
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 6: It's gonna look, Schmik, trust me, fantastic.
Speaker 2: Trust you.
Speaker 4: You just said it wasn't gonna look Schmick about a
Speaker 4: minute ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but by this breaking this is an ongoing, developing situation.
Speaker 4: So there's two curtain drops. When's the first curtain drop?
Speaker 2: That's you're right.
Speaker 5: So once we have our people down there are ready
Speaker 5: to go, and our eight tall people, I reckon, we
Speaker 5: get them in front of the wall for about ten
Speaker 5: minutes to really build the excitement.
Speaker 2: Nothing builds its on more than tall people around by
Speaker 2: some traffic lights. Wait, is there a basketball game happen?
Speaker 6: At that point we will drop.
Speaker 2: By the way. Team. You need to know this. They
Speaker 2: were struggling to get tell people yesterday and call the
Speaker 2: sponsor this monarch because the down obviously to see it today, right,
Speaker 2: you know, they provide all the brushes and all the
Speaker 2: materials and stuff like that. She rang them and go,
Speaker 2: you've got any tool people? How tall are the people
Speaker 2: that work the monic? If you've got any six shutters
Speaker 2: and make sure that you come down as well. So
Speaker 2: I think there's some some of the Monarch employees. How
Speaker 2: is Sally cat Hills?
Speaker 6: Do we know right way to integrate the client?
Speaker 2: Media records to my radio podcast by the Mic and
Speaker 2: let me talk about integration the client and the show.
Speaker 2: They shake each other's hand and making a show. Baby,
Speaker 2: it's gonna look Schmid Schmick. Maybe Christian Connell's show podcast
Speaker 2: Jack seeing something has got no idea what it was.
Speaker 4: A strange vehicle I passed yesterday on the road and
Speaker 4: I want you to help me figure out what it's doing.
Speaker 4: It's a big four wheeler. A guy in high viz
Speaker 4: is sitting on it. There's a security camera looking thing,
Speaker 4: you know, there's old style security cameras outside of banks,
Speaker 4: big square BLOCKI things that's fixed to the front of
Speaker 4: the handlebars of his four wheeler pointed at the ground
Speaker 4: and he's riding on the.
Speaker 2: Footpath ses emergency vehicle. What sand June recovery.
Speaker 4: What's the camera for? Why is that looking at it?
Speaker 2: Could be infrared at nighttime, stuff like that.
Speaker 4: I think he's some kind of footpath inspector and I
Speaker 4: don't know what.
Speaker 2: The bloody a real big footpaths. Footpaths are quite narrow,
Speaker 2: some big old four wheelers driving along. He's going to
Speaker 2: mow down old people and.
Speaker 4: Dog walkers that he was riding along the footpath. He
Speaker 4: wasn't on the road.
Speaker 2: Oh so you do you think the camera is so
Speaker 2: if he reports like a pothole or something, then they
Speaker 2: can the that can they review the footage so like
Speaker 2: they do it.
Speaker 7: Foot wouldn't they just take a photo with that though?
Speaker 4: Not like but if he's walking and it's going to take
Speaker 4: him all day, whereas he right around the whole suburbs
Speaker 4: stop when he sees a crack, it films it and
Speaker 4: then that's the why.
Speaker 2: Get the os post team to do that? They could
Speaker 2: fix it because you're driving around on those paths every
Speaker 2: single day. You have a look.
Speaker 7: I'm just enough to do though, haven't they.
Speaker 4: I'm just remembering we had a call the ones who
Speaker 4: said he was a footpath inspector by walking around the suburb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he did like twenty to thirty k day.
Speaker 4: Maybe this is robots taking his job.
Speaker 2: AI is coming all right? Does anyone know what you saw?
Speaker 2: So it's not a trike It's not all those trikees.
Speaker 4: Big four wheel looks like it should be on a
Speaker 4: sand tune somewhere. You guy in high vis on top
Speaker 4: of it, and then a big camera on the front
Speaker 4: pointed at the ground.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jackson a unusual vehicle. How would you describe it?
Speaker 4: It was a four wheel all terrain vehicle with a
Speaker 4: rider wearing high is and a big security camera looking
Speaker 4: thing on the front handlebars pointed at the footpath he
Speaker 4: was riding on.
Speaker 2: Dave, what do you think it was? What did Jack see? Dave?
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, good morning. I was walking along one.
Speaker 10: Day, walking along the footpath, and I.
Speaker 9: Saw one of these things coming at me, and I
Speaker 9: just thought it was a key mucking around. So I
Speaker 9: stood the grand and the boy didn't want to stop
Speaker 9: and nearly run me over. And when I asked him
Speaker 9: what he was doing. He's a footpath inspector. They drive
Speaker 9: along inspecting the footpaths for cracks and holes and stuff.
Speaker 9: To keep pedestrians safe.
Speaker 4: Well, he's not keeping you safe if he's almost running
Speaker 4: you over.
Speaker 2: Yes, some kind of Mexican stand up between you two.
Speaker 9: So that's exactly what I said to him. I said,
Speaker 9: how face is and why.
Speaker 2: Is he videoing it? Did they then watch it later
Speaker 2: on for fun? Go look at this? So reminding gone
Speaker 2: too quickly with the remarker crack.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm I'm sure. Maybe he's got to go back
Speaker 9: to the office and proved to his boss if he
Speaker 9: was checking the footpath and not mustering around in the park,
Speaker 9: what I'd be doing.
Speaker 2: All right, Dave, thank you very much. That's got a John. Now, John,
Speaker 2: did you used to do this? You used to be
Speaker 2: a footpath suspector yeah, I used to.
Speaker 11: Work for council. And Jack's totally right there. They're checking
Speaker 11: the footpath for safety.
Speaker 2: So I watch the camera. Do you record everything you
Speaker 2: drive around a sea all day?
Speaker 11: So basically it's got a camera on the front and
Speaker 11: also a computer on it. So as they drive along
Speaker 11: the foot path, if they see a crack or damage
Speaker 11: footpath or a tree root or something, they can hit
Speaker 11: a button and it records the location so they can
Speaker 11: come greater.
Speaker 2: I think this is like the moon rover.
Speaker 4: It's very advanced, but why do they need such a heavy,
Speaker 4: judy looking vehicle.
Speaker 11: It just makes it so much easier to get around
Speaker 11: into different areas through parks, and it says them having
Speaker 11: a footpath inspective, walking around the footpaths all day.
Speaker 2: I got you now. Someone called in John and said,
Speaker 2: not all suburbs have these. It's mainly the more well
Speaker 2: to do areas.
Speaker 11: It's more that. But they also have groups to contract
Speaker 11: it out, so our council can call up and say
Speaker 11: we want to do a footpath inspection and I'll send
Speaker 11: the guys here and I'll go and do.
Speaker 2: It independent gym's paths.
Speaker 11: It's getting in everything he is.
Speaker 2: He's doing massages now, isn't he doing Jim's message?
Speaker 4: I don't think I'll want to Jim put that one all.

Speaker 2: with a piece of art up there. The piece of
Speaker 2: art is actually all the legends and a foreign to
Speaker 2: keep forget about the forum, but anyway, I guess it
Speaker 2: is a big style part of footy. So all the
Speaker 2: people that have been invited down for the unveiling today,
Speaker 2: we've got an official unveiling that's going to be happening
Speaker 2: about twenty five minutes time. By the way, if you're
Speaker 2: near lying On Street, go and watch it today in
Speaker 2: the next twenty minutes. Rio is going to be there
Speaker 2: in about five minutes time, Lord Mayor Sally Cap is
Speaker 2: going to be there in about twenty minutes time. She's
Speaker 2: now coming down to open it, which is why the
Speaker 2: last couple of days there's been a sort of fever
Speaker 2: of activity because Sally Cap only confirmed forty eight hours ago.
Speaker 2: So we've been trying to work out how we get
Speaker 2: the giant curtain. Normally, when someone unveils or open something,
Speaker 2: they put a string in something. That's what maybe a
Speaker 2: meter max.
Speaker 4: Sometimes small little cis.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Was this is because there's eight frames, there's ten
Speaker 2: meters wide. So I'm not making up when I said
Speaker 2: that there was a man sewing until midnight a seems
Speaker 2: toress called Tony who works with a mysterious Myths. It's knock.
Speaker 2: I'm not making anything up. He really was it. It
Speaker 2: got dropped off. Do you know it's dropped off here
Speaker 2: after midnight?
Speaker 4: Oh, this ten there's been a frenzy of activity. See
Speaker 4: what it was like.
Speaker 2: All going to happen or not happen during the next
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes partsally, what's happening with you this week?
Speaker 2: At home?
Speaker 7: Something's happening with my twenty ages, Like someone's taken my
Speaker 7: daughter away.
Speaker 2: And she officially switched to teenager when she's thirteen in June.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, the transition tell you what I feel like.
Speaker 2: I'm going to enjoy the next couple of years. I'm
Speaker 2: going to grab a big old bag of popcorn. I'll
Speaker 2: be here for you with my feet up, laughing, my
Speaker 2: asshole a fetal position.
Speaker 7: Something's happened to her.
Speaker 9: Every get real.
Speaker 2: Friend, there's Perrington and then there's teenagers.
Speaker 7: Yes, well, every day when she gets home a new
Speaker 7: thing has started jack where she opens the fridge for
Speaker 7: a snack and we'll just stare at it for like minutes,
Speaker 7: thinking something magically is going to appear from the day before,
Speaker 7: like I don't know, some eight course meal or something
Speaker 7: for it.
Speaker 2: That that that hour when they get back, they're tired
Speaker 2: and they're hungry. They're hungry is heavy. The other week,
Speaker 2: Lois came back from school and she opened the fridge
Speaker 2: and then she sort of rummaged around. She slammed the
Speaker 2: fridge door. Shrimp. So when did this family become an
Speaker 2: ingredients family and snack family? I'm like, what did you
Speaker 2: just say?
Speaker 4: I didn't even know there were two types of family.
Speaker 2: Who can be that angry and articulates such a great burn.
Speaker 2: It was just like, wow, that English is doing what
Speaker 2: it's called. I just want to become an ingredients family,
Speaker 2: and I'm a snack family.
Speaker 4: I do know that feeling that when you're so tired,
Speaker 4: you need one thing to open and that's it. Any
Speaker 4: people ingredient.
Speaker 2: Haven't made it all together, okay, you need so much
Speaker 2: to have done it, or you haven't got the energy
Speaker 2: to put. The bread's there, the butts there, the meats there,
Speaker 2: the salamis there, the mayonnaise is there.
Speaker 7: Also, never satisfied with what's in there, never ever satisfied.
Speaker 7: So then she'll pick up the cordial jug have a
Speaker 7: swig straight out of the jug. If you don't.
Speaker 2: The teenagers still do that the seventeen or nineteen.
Speaker 7: It drives me nuts.
Speaker 2: They've got no shame, savages. I just look at me,
Speaker 2: old man.
Speaker 4: Take this ingredient's family and then more off.
Speaker 7: And I'm in another room and I can hear the
Speaker 7: fridge like beepepeep.
Speaker 2: I'm like close the fridge.
Speaker 8: Were you born in it?
Speaker 2: I know how I'll eventually have my stroke slash heart attack.
Speaker 2: You're hearing that the door or the freezer shut.
Speaker 7: It and leaving lights on with the other thing. Everything
Speaker 7: in the other end of the house last night was
Speaker 7: on and she's not even at that.
Speaker 6: End of the house.
Speaker 2: The worst thing is, I remember being a kid. Do
Speaker 2: you remember in that age, and you thought your parents
Speaker 2: were so dull caring about this was so square, was
Speaker 2: even costious about ten cents a week if I left
Speaker 2: them all on. We did it in science. And now
Speaker 2: suddenly you overhear yourself saying all those dull things that
Speaker 2: your parents used to get upset about. More on this
Speaker 2: eight this morning. By the way, I've just suddenly realized
Speaker 2: we've suddenly morphed into one of our new features, signs
Speaker 2: You're a grown Us, where you actually find that you
Speaker 2: get mad about lights being left one on the fridge,
Speaker 2: store being open.

Speaker 2: thing about footy is it isn't just about what's going
Speaker 2: on on the oval. There's so much more, so much more,

Speaker 16: this position for the entire ad break. So shoulders are
Speaker 16: starting to wobble, but they are still holding strong. Sally
Speaker 16: was giving them a bit of a pep talk. We
Speaker 16: came under the ads just to keep the spirits high.
Speaker 16: So morale is high everyone.

Speaker 16: I think we've probably got about one hundred people lining
Speaker 16: the streets now with their phones ready to see what
Speaker 16: is behind these red curtains.

Speaker 2: some of the people who are going to see their
Speaker 2: faces up on a wall. It is.
Speaker 16: I mean, Bruce was quite nervous Richmond fan with the
Speaker 16: twenty two jumpers. I was just talking to Doug, who
Speaker 16: kicked sixty goals in one game. He's also you know,
Speaker 16: it was a very calm character on the radio, but
Speaker 16: now he's starting to be a little bit more nervy

Speaker 2: o four three. Yesterday I actually bored my wife right.
Speaker 2: I was putting away some ham I just opened up
Speaker 2: from the fridge, and I said, you know what they
Speaker 2: an event is some kind of sticker that you have.
Speaker 2: It lives in the fridge and then when someone opens
Speaker 2: up some meat or some ham or anything really they
Speaker 2: put on when that person opened it, because sometimes a
Speaker 2: couple days later you go, you start going, do you
Speaker 2: know when you open this? You go, oh god, is
Speaker 2: it Tuesday or Wednesday? And you don't know if it's off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like bringing the used by date from the
Speaker 4: supermarket into the house.
Speaker 7: Oh it's easy though, because ham goes all slimy.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but sometimes you don't know. That's why
Speaker 2: you need my fridge stickers where you write down with
Speaker 2: a sharpie pen that lives in the fridge as well.
Speaker 2: About the best before date, pat See what is your sign?

Speaker 7: is like a thing you pop in your handbag, so
Speaker 7: when you're at a restaurant, you never know where to
Speaker 7: put your handbag. It's always in the road. You got to,
Speaker 7: you know, shove across the bread rolls, or it's in
Speaker 7: the road when they bring the platter out. Hook with
Speaker 7: the hand yes, and it.
Speaker 2: Just what do you stick it to under the table?
Speaker 7: It justly sits on the corner of the tables.

Speaker 7: pa was a local counselor and they had dinner in

Speaker 7: people in the room as well. Because my par was
Speaker 7: on council, on regional council, he got to go as
Speaker 7: part of a delegation and they had lunch with the Queen.
Speaker 7: Nana was inside herself incredible.
Speaker 2: I've been the same room as the Queen and it's incredible.
Speaker 7: Beside herself. Anyway, she had this handbag. Cook the Queen
Speaker 7: did no Nana.
Speaker 2: Because she just thought of getting out that little hamburg
Speaker 2: and I bring everywhere with me.

Speaker 20: with this huge box that he'd wrapped, and my internal
Speaker 20: monologue was just constantly repeating, please be a whipper snipper, Please.

Speaker 20: it was a whipper snipper, good times, I actually hate gardening,
Speaker 20: but you just.
Speaker 2: Really wanted that whipper snipper.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I really wanted a whipper snipper because our front
Speaker 20: lawn is pretty tall. Because my husband hates gardening more
Speaker 20: than I do. So I thought, what we need is
Speaker 20: a whipper snipper. And I put the whipper snipper together,
Speaker 20: I put the battery in it. I took it out
Speaker 20: there the next day. I whipper snipped half way through
Speaker 20: and I thought, I'm kind of over this.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: They're good for about what a foot or two of grass,
Speaker 2: and then that thing runs out and then you got
Speaker 2: to take it to pieces.
Speaker 20: Yeah, so it's sitting at the front door and having
Speaker 20: used it again, and the front part of the grass
Speaker 20: it's only half done, and the neighbor on either side,
Speaker 20: and it's like.
Speaker 2: A bad munet. Now does that you need? Can't be
Speaker 2: bothered to get that orange cord out, put it through.

Speaker 2: I will pick that up and hover it over the edges.
Speaker 2: My wife wasn't looking because she gets that is really
Speaker 2: I don't think you're meant to do that almost around
Speaker 2: at an angle, almost like it's a golf club and
Speaker 2: I'm drunk queuing up a drive. It's better, it's more reliable.
Speaker 20: And we've got the leaf blower as well, which.
