1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell's show on GODF with Kanga and Institute Sad News.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Australia's oldest museum, the Holden Car Museum, is closing up

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: in April. I think they've been trying to find a

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: buyer for a while, but it's going to be no

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: more out in a Chuka. It's been there for years.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: It's sad because it's not that it's not performing well.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: People are still line up there every day. The guys

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: who own it, brothers, they just want to retire, but

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: they can't because they don't want to work seven days

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: a week anymore. And no one wants to buy the museum.

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Is such a shame that they haven't been trying out

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: for a while to find someone to come and fund

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: it and take over it. And like Jack said, it's

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: a big institution out there in a Chukah and Holden's are.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: They're almost like part of the kind of constitution, the

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: unofficial constitution of Australia. When I first moved here and

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I was sort of finding out about the country and

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: what you're into and what you care about. Holden's is

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: this kind of thing where even if you're too young,

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: you never had one your mum or dad or your

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: grandparents would have had a hold and it's like a

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: touchstone for every community here in Australia is Holdings. I

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: was going down a wormhole essay sort of reading up

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: on the company. I was curious to know what that

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: logo is the lion with this sort of poor outstretched

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know it's a lion on his hole. He's

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: got a wheel under his.

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: Paw, he's got a tired steering wheel.

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Now it's a stone. The famous lion and stone holding logo,

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: it's the lion and stone batch was first designed in

31
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight and symbolized the fable of a man

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: inventing the wheel after observing lions rolling stones with their paws.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Who knew it was tweeked in the seventies and nineties,

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, originally it was meant to be a lion

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: rolling a stone some kind of almost like a no

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: to a Greek favorite or something like that. And then

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: also some of you remember the classic TV AdWords adverts

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: like this one from the seventies.

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: I was going wat your favorite born magi animal being

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: their own and watch your favorite car astrolian. Let me

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: see that has football meat buyers, kangaroos and holding cars. Huh,

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: but you sure sound like Australia.

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: I mean.

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 5: It's another one now for the first time there's an

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: Australian car with contemporary European the dayling, an Australian car

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: with better performance and better fuel economy than ever before.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: If your mama dad have a holding, Patsy.

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 6: My dad has always had a hold in ut even

49
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 6: to this day. Oh wow, I think I don't know

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 6: if it was an FJ or I don't know what

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 6: the model was, but his very first car was a

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 6: Holding Newt and he skimped and saved all his money

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 6: for this beloved ute and he's still got a ute

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 6: to this day. And my parents had the old special

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 6: holding that was the two tone with like the turquoise

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,880

Speaker 6: It is absolutely fantastic. Yeah, we took Dad, We took

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 6: out a couple of years ago when we went to

Speaker 6: a chuker for christ Us and he was just, yeah,

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 6: in his element. It was great.

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,960

Speaker 1: Museum is closing down in April. I'm trying to find

70
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: in a Chuokah, has been for years since it moved

71
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: there in the eighties, and it's really sad they haven't

00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,560

78
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: of the older holdings, right, they're in an immaculate condition.

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I saw beautiful one of the old Belmonts of the

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: day and it was like it was gleaming. I remember

81
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago was selling a small table, right,

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: and what turned up was a hole i'd ever seen before.

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard or seen the hold and scurry?

84
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Don't remember the scurry?

85
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I actually it took my breath away when he went,

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: can you help me get it into my van? This

87
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: thing wasn't a van. It still was a little bit

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: bigger than a golf cart with a roof on it.

89
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: And I said, that ain't a van. What's that? I

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: wonder around back? He said, there's a hold and scurry

91
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: everyone Google, hold and scurry. Now I actually laughed in

92
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: his face. He was so old. Guy looked like he

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: made it, maybe on a production line. I said, this

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: isn't going to get a tabling.

95
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: It looks like a normal, full sized van has been

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: cut down the middle shrink.

97
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, amazing, right, I didn't know it was a type.

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: It was amazing.

99
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 6: Cue yeah, greengrocers used to drive them around, ye stuff.

100
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, it took us about twenty minutes to get this table.

101
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: There was like Jenger trying to get it all and textrous.

102
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: At one point he had to not only make his

103
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: seat is far forward it could, he had to you know,

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: till you moved the seat for actually facing forward. It

105
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: was almost like licking the steering wheel with his table.

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Look at the taible was like someone who it's shot

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: in the back of his car and and planted the

108
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: back of his head a holding scurry. He was told

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: it was called a micro fan. I actually it's the

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: world's smallest fan. I can't believe there's something smaller than that.

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: It's like a poper bill. All right, So we're looking

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: for your holding stories today nine four one four one

Speaker 4: a car and end up with a family.

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he talked about the family first and then

126
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the car, I can add on, rather than the car

127
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,800

00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 4: to do a gender reveal.
