As the 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.920 kids and we were the whole Bosing family were really rough. Yeah, 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.080 but I came into sort of the bogan surfer guy 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.360 who comes in and tries to reconnect with the kids 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:48.600 and so forth, and the kids are all a bit 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.840 pretty Boganish, and all the rest of us go, well. 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:51.959 Good morning, Heather. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.640 My dog was Harvey, who was the Scully dog for 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.200 ten years on Neighbors, So I wasn't doing as they 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.320 would say action. Harvey would get up and moved, so 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.240 they had to use a different word, so they'd go 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.560 polly woffle, so the actor would be able to walk in, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.040 walk up to Harvey, tell him the move again, and 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.240 then you'd have to next time if something happened and 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.439 they had to redo the scene again. They had to 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.880 use another word for action because that Harvey knew. 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:16.520 What the word meant. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.360 Someone's going to come in and tell me to move, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.000 So I'm going to move now. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.600 Ten years of that what an old deal. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.880 If I was a writer on they're watching that show, 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.520 I'd be straight and write that dog out of it. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.439 Tomara's episode He's getting flat by truck. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.120 And Show of Hands who wants to kill Harvey? 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.240 Yep, I still yesterday, couldn't thought I was thinking about 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.000 those two calls, right, Brett and Heather. First of all, Heather, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.320 we'll play the full call again this weekend on our 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.319 Best Off, showing you on a Saturday morning Heather's dog, right, 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.600 she got it signed up by dog agent. In my mind, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.800 I want that to be an actual dog that is 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:57.760 an agent and a cigar with his paws up on 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.880 the desk making calls, doing deals. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.880 I've got your great gear. There's a TV commercial. Don't 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.800 screw up the last time I tal thinking about a 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:07.520 dog agent. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.160 The dog got two hundred and eighty bucks per show 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:12.480 as well, we found out, didn't we that was the 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:13.400 going rate. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.959 Not even per day. He takes four days to shoot 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:17.520 the show. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.280 And that it was hard. What the dog can obviously 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.880 has the dogs will do. I guess with the hot 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.680 lights there on a TV studio, lying down for most 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.600 of the day as well on bits of the neighbors 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.520 set that they could find to lie the dog down 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:29.880 on there. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.400 Over his ten year career, they could have saved twenty 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.000 thousand dollars just by not having the Scully family. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.840 Have a dog, or say we've got a dog, just 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.880 have the bed and go. He's out for another walk, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:42.520 he's out in the yard. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.960 Cut out all I also had a friend called me 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.520 yesterday after they heard Brett call up. Brett Swain was 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.920 the first caller there and said, don't you remember Kim Timmins. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.480 He was the dad of Stingray and he didn't say 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.240 it in his call yesterday, but he was. He was 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:57.240 StingRay's dad. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.600 Do you remember as well? So yeah, this Brett called us. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.199 You never know was listening to a radio show. But 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.439 Brett Swain and as were chatting Tom I had a 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.600 quick jump on Wikipedia. It was a bit like who's 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.480 calling Christian yesterday? And I said him that he'd been 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.760 in Naves a couple of times as John Swan. This 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.680 was the duck hunter who killed Kerry Bishop, which was 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.120 a huge storyline. I seem to remember she was like 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.680 an environmental campaigner and there was some some near doing 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.880 duck hunters and accidentally shot her dad. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:23.720 It was laughing. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.000 That was very traumatic at the time. Then I have 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.320 notices he came back two years later. The killer comes 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.640 back as a different character. How stupid do they think 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.000 people were in the nineties just put a different. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:34.280 Shirt on him? 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.720 Well, what does it say about the amount of actors 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.480 there are in the country. It's like how it was 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.320 used with literally years everybody. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.199 So in nineteen nineties, in and he has a big 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.360 storyline killing Kerry Bishop, right but loved character. Two years 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.320 later he's back just as a builder called buzz something 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.559 about that is out of prison. Then he comes back 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.160 a following year. So in nineteen ninety he's a killer, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.600 a duck hunter. Two years age he's a builder called 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.520 buzz Wade. A year later he's. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:12.080 Now a horse racing commentator. What can't this guy do? Anyway? 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.400 Some of the emails I came in with this morning 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.240 then for still talking about neighbors, for still trending Christian 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.640 six degrees of Neighbors. When my husband and I first 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.199 moved from New Zealand to Australia, the only job I 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.240 could get was telemarketings. Telemarketing. I hated the job. I 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.680 had to try and sell gold plated pen sets. What 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.640 a kid just ringing people up? Do you want a 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.840 gold plased pen set?

It was very nice as long as you 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:59.480 didn't ask him about Jason. When I became pregnant, he 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.559 came nice card that was signed Terrence. That was over 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.160 twenty two years ago. I've still got it and my 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.440 daughter turns twenty two in ten days time.
