DC, 20005.

1:00

Like when you go to a restaurant, do

1:03

you commend the chef

1:05

if you thought it was nice? Often hard to

1:07

find the chef, I reckon, but I have said,

1:09

I stuck my head in there and said, oh,

1:12

if there's a window, that was fantastic, you know what

1:14

I mean? I reckon a bit of... I don't think

1:16

they get enough, do they? No, they don't, because they're often hidden

1:18

away in like a basement or... Yeah, and

1:21

I think they do appreciate it. They don't take it for

1:23

granted.

1:24

No, because, yeah, you're right. But

1:26

what level do you go down to? So you

1:29

start at restaurant? Yes, you would. Definitely,

1:31

definitely. Down from that would be a... Cafe.

1:34

Or function? Function. A

1:37

buffet function sort of thing.

1:39

Would you commend the people you would?

1:41

I mean, I do a lot of functions, and

1:44

sometimes the food's fantastic, and you

1:46

go, this is great, this food, you know, but

1:48

they're so far away from the actual physical

1:51

place. They're down corridors

1:53

and stuff. How low would you

1:56

go with your commending of the chef? Oh,

1:58

chicken shop. Is there a cut off?

1:59

fish and ship shop. So you would not? Right.

2:02

No I'd go there. So you would have fish

2:04

and ships out the front of the shop

2:06

and then go back in and have a word to the chef. The

2:09

old Greek lady. Yeah

2:12

hang on. I want a cheap

2:14

sense of fish. Would

2:16

you? Yeah I think well.

2:18

I don't think you would. You know what

2:21

I would often do the next time we go in there

2:23

give them a compliment. I had these fish

2:25

and ships and I had an iPhone with someone.

2:27

I go

2:28

this, hey this

2:31

chicken, this chicken George Grey,

2:33

the chicken was fantastic. Loud enough for them to

2:35

hear. Yeah I know you'd say it to them directly. This

2:38

chicken last time was fantastic. Oh right. So we're

2:40

looking forward to it. Then it makes them on their game.

2:42

So you would go as low as a fish and ship shop. Yeah definitely.

2:44

Okay. Would you go McDonald's? No.

2:50

Because say the fifteen year old.

2:53

Hey nice work on the chills today buddy.

2:55

Yeah yeah yeah. Well what have you done? I

2:57

was up in Sydney staying

3:00

with my brother Neil and we had

3:02

lunch with one of his

3:04

boys Nick. I've met one

3:06

of them. Which one have I met at the cake shop? I've met

3:09

Pat. Good looking young man. Yes. Like

3:11

you thirty years ago. Exactly.

3:13

Maybe fifty. Yeah yeah exactly.

3:16

I'm much better looking than I was back then. He's

3:18

good looking. Yeah very good looking. Had the

3:20

good looking girlfriend to match. Well you

3:22

sound creepy now. That's kind of creepy

3:24

now.

3:27

They're both big fans of the podcast. Nick

3:29

and Pat. I don't think Pat would

3:31

mind me saying that he lives overseas now. So he's

3:33

going to do a national. So he may well

3:36

be listening to this in the morning. Did he adopt

3:38

the attractive girlfriend? No not at all. She

3:40

went with him. Well yeah. Anyway

3:42

I can't remember. I can't remember. I'm there with

3:44

the other brother. Somewhere with my brother Neil

3:47

and my other brother. His brother

3:49

son Nick. And

3:52

we had burgers. So burger

3:54

was great. Sitting in the street. Just

3:57

a wooden table. My brother

3:59

and I. a burger because lunchtime

4:01

didn't want to have anything. Too much. Too much.

4:04

But was he? But nothing wrong with that. And

4:07

Nick had the whole burger. The guy

4:09

who we think cooked it comes out,

4:12

stands there and I go, got

4:14

to say, great burger. All

4:17

three of us went, great burger. He then

4:19

makes a movement with his hands and starts

4:22

applauding. So I

4:24

then come in too and I start applauding

4:28

and the other brothers come in and we're

4:30

all applauding at the table like this. Yeah

4:33

right. And I thought, oh that

4:35

was a nice moment. He's come out, we've told him his burgers

4:37

were good and we all did a round of applause for his burger.

4:40

Apparently he wasn't applauding.

4:43

The move that he went for was to brush the salt

4:45

off his hands and I thought he was starting

4:48

to applaud. Which I thought was a

4:50

bit weird. Now in reflection I

4:52

think it was a bit weird that he was

4:54

applauding his own good burger. But

4:56

it felt right, it felt good so there's nothing wrong with it. So

4:59

I think my message is if you're out there

5:01

and whatever level, except

5:04

drive through McDonald's, don't

5:07

commend the, you're worried about him

5:09

coming in aren't you? The guy that comes in and talks.

5:11

You can see your eyes wandering. The

5:13

guy lives upstairs, he comes in and he puts his head in the door.

5:16

Well last time he said, he just comes

5:19

and goes, who you got to eat him a guy's phone number? What?

5:22

No. I've met him like twice.

5:24

Why would I have Eddie McQuiet? And then he goes, you asked

5:27

Glen for it. I said, Glen, I want an Abbott. I'll

5:29

give it to him. Eddie

5:33

would love to get a phone call

5:35

from the bloke who lives upstairs. So

5:37

anyway, that is a good

5:39

thing to commend the chef. I think it's good. And a

5:42

round of applause on a table outside. It didn't

5:44

seem that bad but Nick did say

5:46

that I don't think he was applauding and you've embarrassed

5:49

yourself slightly. What about when

5:51

I said to someone once, that was

5:55

a great parmigiana to the chef

5:57

or someone. He goes, oh yeah, they get

5:59

bought in. Oh I see. They

6:01

get pre-made. So you're like, oh

6:03

what? Don't take that. No, no, keep the magic

6:05

alive. I went round to

6:08

someone well known, round to his house for dinner, and

6:10

I said, and it was Indian, I said great Indian

6:12

food. And then I walked to the kitchen. There's all these takeaway

6:15

boxes? Yeah. But they took the compliment.

6:17

Ah, that's fantastic. You can't take the compliment.

6:19

I've got to be honest with you. At least

6:22

hide the evidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But

6:24

you couldn't tell it was takeaway Indian? No. You

6:27

bring it out in those really nice bowls with a nice way.

6:29

I'm sure, yeah. Put the rice in the thing and nobody

6:31

knows. You know. But I

6:34

think you can't have a dinner

6:36

party under the... He should have said, do

6:39

you want to come around for take away? Yeah, that's not a dinner

6:41

party. You're right. This is not a dinner

6:43

party. That's cheating. Yeah. I mean, when was the last time you went

6:45

to a dinner party? I don't like going to dinner

6:47

parties. Oh, I'm having one

6:49

next week. Oh, you're off the list.

6:52

You're off the list. I don't really

6:54

want to watch you eat. Yeah,

6:56

it's true. It's true. I don't want to sit across the table,

6:58

watch you eat. And then... And

7:01

then pontificate and get into an argument about politics with someone. Yeah,

7:03

yeah, yeah. Oh, the worst. My

7:05

theory is always the same. I don't think you've got

7:07

three courses in you as far as... It's

7:10

true. I go, I'm happy to have a coffee

7:12

and a cake with you. Yeah. But,

7:14

you know... Also, we often say,

7:16

this should be a good dinner party, didn't we? And then I always go

7:18

to Kieran, when do we have dinner parties? I don't think...

7:21

Over years. There was a time when it... It

7:23

was big, wasn't it? It was big. You go around to some... Late

7:25

80s, 90s? And they used to have progressive dinner parties. Oh, yeah.

7:28

Where they go and put people's houses and stuff. Absolutely.

7:31

But dinner party, overrated, I reckon. Overrated.

7:34

There's always some blowhard

7:36

talking at the top of their voice about politics

7:39

and what they think. If you said... What

7:41

they think. Oh, yeah. Once the politics comes into

7:43

the room... Oh, quick. Grab your coat.

7:45

Get out of here. Yeah. If

7:48

I said to you, dinner party, or meet me

7:52

for lunch on a Sunday at

7:54

the burger joint... Lunch at the burger joint.

7:57

Lunch at the burger joint. So then you're not putting

7:59

someone under pressure. to do all that cooking

8:01

and... Yeah and then it doesn't

8:04

go on and on and on. And do you have

8:06

something that you like to eat? Yeah.

8:09

Yeah. Does everyone like hamburgers? Yeah.

8:12

Yeah. If you don't like hamburgers let us know

8:15

because we don't want you listening anymore. Well

8:18

if you're a vegan you have a vegan burger. Vegan

8:20

vegan vegan burger. I've heard of it. Mushroom

8:22

burger. First thing the other day that artificial

8:24

meat in some circles is even better for

8:26

you. Oh yeah. I'll do that too.

8:29

Except it is processed and you should never have anything processed.

8:31

That's my rule of thumb. Can't be being interesting.

8:34

Yes that's the great Eric Banner said don't eat anything

8:36

out of a bag. I think Ollie said that.

8:38

Well he's saying it now. He said he's saying it now.

8:40

He's stolen my... My mind is... See

8:44

that's mine as well. That's another one of yours. Yeah. I'm

8:47

not trying to think. He also said don't

8:49

sleep with a prostitute in Spain on a Friday night.

8:58

There you go. That one of yours. Oh he

9:00

came for the music. Welcome to Suntow related

9:03

now.

9:14

Please welcome your hosts Glenn Robbins

9:16

and Dave O'Neill. I'm

9:24

going to watch that on Friday night. I'm

9:26

going to have a sip of my drink. I'll say welcome

9:28

to the podcast, Sumpow related. We

9:32

get two topics

9:34

and you've got to work out how they are related. There

9:36

you go. That's ice, ice baby in the

9:38

drink there. On a hot

9:41

day is there any

9:43

better noise than ice

9:45

tinkling in a glass? Ice is underrated though.

9:47

I love ice. Underrated? I

9:50

think so. Remember when we were

9:52

kids it was like a luxury. If you went around

9:54

and someone had ice in their drink. Well if someone had one of those

9:56

preachers where you could just tell you who you push the button. Chomp

9:58

chomp chomp. I've

10:01

never had one of those. No, it's like something like the Brady Bunch.

10:04

Oh, we've got one in a, we've got an ice maker in a freezer

10:06

now. So that's cool. Yeah, my mum had

10:08

one of those and was, yeah, quite good. It's

10:10

just very basic. But how does the water get into it? No,

10:13

no, so you've got to fill two trays of water and

10:15

then basically you just flip the trays

10:18

when they're frozen. Oh, that's just

10:20

basic. It's the same thing. I know,

10:22

it's the same. It's not an ice maker. No, because what you

10:24

want is a machine that chops it up and yeah, yeah, yeah,

10:26

that's the real deal. Yeah. It's

10:29

a sealed water one that comes out the other hole. Oh, same.

10:32

Yeah, it is. It's got everything. That's

10:34

when you know they were loaded. Yeah, yeah. Unbelievable.

10:37

What next? Yeah. Should

10:39

we get our topics? Have you said what the show's about? Yeah, you were

10:41

having a drink. Oh, sorry. Yeah. All

10:44

right, here we go. What are they, Sam? The topics are

10:46

trapeze and leotards. Well, you would have worn a leotard. Why

10:49

are you saying that? Because you were a drama student. Oh,

10:51

you have nailed it. Yeah, drama students. How

10:53

did you know that? Well, I went to the same teachers

10:56

college as you. Did you see us wandering around an outlet? I

10:58

saw people. You saw it in the

11:00

crack of the door. Yeah. Because

11:02

I did music in that same building. I think I was

11:04

around level four. Yeah. And there

11:06

was this video there. Yes, I'm never going to see plays there. Yeah, and

11:09

they're always wearing leotards and holding candles

11:11

or something. Yeah. The

11:13

good thing about it is everyone was the same because

11:15

you're allowed to wear a leotard. Yeah. And

11:18

a leotard then, because I get confused, a leotard is something

11:20

that has a top and a bottom,

11:23

doesn't it? Yeah, it's like a one-piece bathing

11:25

suit for women that... Ours had flared bottoms.

11:27

Oh, wow. They looked awful.

11:30

It was not in any way enhancing

11:33

of the penal area. Why would you wear

11:36

leotards doing drama? Because you know,

11:38

it's... Move around. I

11:40

guess it's complete freedom and you're

11:43

not connected to anything. You're neutral. Did

11:45

you wear like a cricket box, Dad? Yeah, absolutely. I

11:48

wore a strap on the first 12 months.

11:50

No, of course not. No, did you wear any protection

11:52

or anything down there or... For

11:54

what? Well, when I was in the gang show... Oh, yeah. We

11:58

had to wear leotards. in the opening number

12:01

called We Are Australia or something. We're

12:03

coming in green and gold leotards and

12:07

after the first rehearsal the director, Ken.

12:10

Ken. Oh they're worried about you the being old.

12:13

Yeah. So you had to sort of... Now some

12:15

of the older boys that are reaching

12:17

manhood have to go to the ballet

12:20

shop and get a box. Oh

12:22

really? Because we are seeing everything. Isn't that

12:24

called an athletic support? I

12:26

think it's been being crooked as a cricket box. So they

12:28

wore a cricket box on stage and they... I still

12:30

remember where the

12:33

ballet shop, a dance shop in

12:36

the city and buy... Did you weigh the

12:38

bigger boys? Apparently. Never

12:41

been called that before or since but

12:43

anyway yeah I had to go and buy a ballet support

12:46

I think they're called. Yeah. Yeah

12:48

support. Yeah. Jock strap.

12:50

No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A strap on. Yeah.

12:52

Yeah. Yeah but... No it's not a strap on. Did you

12:54

see that great fact on the internet? It'll be

12:56

good. The first ever cricket box

12:59

was used in like 1779

13:01

or some like years ago. The first helmet

13:04

was used in 1975. So what do

13:07

you recommend value more? Their brains

13:10

or their balls? Well it's interesting isn't

13:12

it? What other occasion would

13:14

you wear a leotard? Oh. Well I think

13:16

of... Who else? Ballet obviously. Ballet

13:18

figure skating? Oh they wear leotards.

13:20

Yeah. Wrestlers? Oh they're wrestlers.

13:23

That's very macho but they do sort of wear leotards. Yeah

13:25

I remember that would be probably the first time world championship

13:28

wrestling I saw a leotard. Some would wear

13:30

trunks. Some would wear a leotard

13:32

that came right up. Yeah oh yeah

13:34

like a strong man too. They wear a leotard. White

13:37

litter or strong man? What both of them used

13:39

to wear leotards actually. Old school.

13:42

Dances, ballet, skating.

13:46

Skates wear a leotard. But are they

13:48

always loose at the bottom? Well I always

13:50

tight fit. And what do you call

13:52

the things ladies wear to the gym? You

13:55

know. Just active wear? Yeah the tight

13:57

ones that they just wear on their bottom. Yeah,

14:00

they look like bikes. They like bicycle pants. They

14:02

are, aren't they? Bike shorts. They're very

14:04

revealing though. Oh my god, they don't lead much

14:06

to the imagination, do they? What do you mean? Well,

14:09

like you see young people wearing them just down

14:11

the street now. Bike shorts down the street. They're

14:13

like a fashion item. Everything's covered up? Kitty

14:16

Flaggon does a routine about it. She saw them.

14:18

And there's flesh coloured ones. When you wear those flesh coloured

14:20

ones, she saw a guy coming towards her

14:22

and she thought he was in the nude. Yeah.

14:25

Because the black are very popular.

14:28

Yeah, but I saw a girl. We were driving on yesterday

14:30

and there was like a girl in

14:32

the car, me and Kieran and two of the kids. And

14:35

there was a young woman standing on the street corner right

14:37

near here. And Kieran goes, she's

14:39

wearing underwear. Look at that. Look

14:42

at the young folks. Are we getting creepy? No.

14:45

Okay, we're sounding the creepy

14:47

alert right now. No, but it's very brief.

14:51

I don't understand why they wear like

14:53

a black bottom and then they wear a G-string over

14:55

the top. What is that all about? Oh yeah,

14:58

that's like a mate. That's like a flash dance kind

15:00

of thing. Yeah. It's like a fashion

15:02

thing. Is that to show off, to make your

15:04

bottom more defined? Maybe. Maybe.

15:08

Because I've been doing a bit of work on my glutes lately. Really?

15:11

Yeah. Get atoned. Well,

15:13

because no, because I don't have any. Oh. Yeah.

15:16

And because I'm not getting them firm enough, my

15:18

back is having to do too much work. Oh, yeah, you're

15:20

firm. See, my back is doing the work that my glutes should be doing.

15:23

Oh, that's interesting. You don't have a big ass either, do you? No. You've

15:26

got a bit of a flat ass. Yeah. So,

15:29

wetsuits aren't leotards, are they? No. No.

15:32

I think leotard really

15:34

is in that fitness, dancing.

15:37

Artistic, some artistic. Yeah, yeah,

15:39

yeah. Mime, a mime artist might wear one,

15:41

you know? I think it's specialized

15:45

physical. Yeah. As opposed to what the ladies

15:47

wear down to, because then there's that whole

15:49

line of aerobics, the whole period of that

15:52

stuff came out, you know, tight tops, tight bottoms. Yeah,

15:54

yeah, yeah. And colourful. Colourful. Yeah.

15:58

Because if you're a guy, you'd... do have to

16:00

wear something tight underneath your shorts

16:02

because that's like a

16:04

leotard. Yeah. Remember that was like it's

16:07

pretty cool to have your shorts on and then a bit of

16:09

a leotard packing out from underneath. Oh yeah.

16:11

Which meant that you were safe if you were in a class

16:14

and you know you were up on all fours and you

16:16

know someone behind would get a bit of a look at you.

16:19

Good Lord. Yeah terrible. I'm

16:22

hoping I never have to wear a leotard. I reckon I've only ever

16:24

worn one once in the gang show. Yeah

16:26

well that was a triggering experience.

16:28

I could hear my scouts

16:31

from my triple-r thing as I came on stage.

16:33

Yeah and there's nothing good about

16:35

the top, the singlet part of it.

16:38

Nothing about that is good unless you're built

16:40

like Harold Schwarzenegger. Oh yeah or

16:42

you're really well-toned you're right. And then

16:44

you go anything would look good on you. Yeah.

16:47

You would have worn them in Whizbang Theatre Company

16:49

wouldn't you? Oh well spotted.

16:51

Michael Veach and you was it the comedy

16:53

company or fast forward? Fast forward. I'm

16:56

Glenn and I'm Michael together we

16:58

make the Whizbang Theatre Company and

17:00

they were a theatre company that used to go out

17:02

to schools. We've talked about it before

17:04

for sure. Stephen Curry's first appearance

17:07

on television. I broke that guy.

17:09

Oh he was the kid in the crowd wasn't he? Yes and

17:11

he'll tell you the story that when the camera pulled back

17:14

after they were doing a trust game you

17:17

were meant to catch me. Me or Michael

17:19

I can't remember. They just let him go and

17:21

he landed on the hard floor then then

17:23

Steve Curry just lent out from the line

17:25

and looked right down the barrel got

17:28

his head on television more than the other guys.

17:30

Smart move. Take the opportunities when you can

17:32

get them. You were parroting

17:35

a parody of a theatre in education

17:37

sort of. I was a drama teacher and you were kind

17:39

of what that was and that they would you know you okay

17:42

everybody but not a normal class today we've got the

17:44

Whizbang Theatre Company and they're gonna do some mimes

17:47

they're gonna do some songs and they're gonna do some

17:49

audience participation. A bit

17:51

of improv. So if you're about 14 or 15

17:54

you're on. You're here.

17:57

And these guys were shit. It was very funny. Look

18:00

up the whiz bang and here's the thing,

18:03

Kitty Feynigan has a car. She

18:06

told you the story? No, I

18:08

know she calls it whiz bang. She

18:11

calls it whiz bang. Because the door opens with a whiz and

18:13

a bang. Yeah, that's not coincidence

18:15

is it? Because it all goes whiz

18:17

bang. That's a sliding door.

18:19

Like on a combi or something. Is she aware of the Whiz Bang

18:22

Theatre Company? Well I think she told me and then I

18:24

think I brought it up. But I don't think it was named after

18:26

the Whiz Bang Theatre Company. So there's a bit of

18:28

information that I don't think Kitty would

18:30

mind us sharing. No one really

18:32

needed to know. But she has mentioned

18:35

that before. How many sketches

18:37

did you do as a whiz bang? Not that many. Probably

18:40

about 6. Maybe you

18:42

did one at a shopping centre. Shopping centre, that's right.

18:46

I don't remember the jokes but usually it was just embarrassing.

18:48

You and Vich were great together. What

18:51

about soggy pockets? Soggy pockets

18:53

were... Drunken office workers. Based

18:57

on the theory that when men get alcoholic they tend

19:00

to get a little bit more open

19:02

with their feelings. I

19:05

was working at an office when that came

19:07

on TV. I reckon it was so spot on.

19:09

And then was there a hint that the urinal, remember? Yeah,

19:12

and I had all of these. Oh

19:14

my gosh, there's a hint. We

19:19

did those in front of a live audience which is always fun

19:22

to get your timing right. No,

19:24

they were funny. What else can we say about spanks?

19:27

Is there a brand of litter? Oh, spanks. They're

19:30

different again. Then there's Hosea or something. Hosea

19:35

department. That's an old fashioned term. For

19:38

stockings and stuff. Have you ever worn a pair

19:40

of stockings? I have. Yeah,

19:43

you would have. No,

19:45

I don't think I have. You

19:47

would have been a skis, surely. It

19:50

is weird because it's

19:52

not accommodatory and it's quite pressing

19:54

on the... Oh hang on, I've worn a

19:57

stocking for an injury. I've worn

19:59

a... Oh really? Yeah, so

20:01

when you have an operation or something

20:03

they put a... Oh yeah they do, yeah. And on

20:05

a plane of all those... Oh the... what

20:07

was that

20:09

called again? Thrombosis? Yeah,

20:12

Thrombosis. Yeah, you gotta move your... That

20:14

was a bit of a thing for a while. Oh yeah.

20:16

And now it's not. Well no, I think on long

20:19

flights you wear them, but... I don't think when

20:21

you go to Melbourne City you have to wear them, but I think definitely...

20:24

Deep vein Thrombosis. Thrombosis,

20:28

yeah. TBT. But yeah, I've

20:30

certainly worn them, yeah, for sure. I

20:32

can't think of anything else. Alright, well let's talk about...

20:34

what is it? Flying trapeze. Flying

20:36

trapeze.

20:39

Election day is almost here. Your

20:42

vote by mail ballot must be returned

20:44

21:03

Street, Northwest, Suite 950, Washington,

21:06

DC, 20005.

21:09

That wouldn't have been... it would have always been part of the circus,

21:11

wouldn't it? No, not the old medieval

21:13

circuses I reckon. Oh, well spotted. I reckon

21:16

more, uh, Industrial Revolution

21:18

kind of? Well, 18. Well, I

21:20

had to build a... no, I reckon earlier than that. I

21:22

can turn... I can like sit... 1800

21:25

maybe. When was it? Industrial

21:27

Revolution? I don't know. 1800, 1800. Well,

21:30

okay, let's just break it down. A

21:32

trapeze is... It's the moment they fly

21:34

and they grab onto each other. A horizontal

21:36

bar. Yeah. And there's one guy...

21:40

the simplistic version, there's all different versions and

21:42

they have lots of people called the O'Neill

21:44

brothers and stuff like that. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's... It's

21:47

not that good. The phone just takes...

21:49

I've got a... a... a hydronic

21:51

heating broke. That's water,

21:54

isn't it? Water through pipes in

21:56

the floor or in the... Yeah, like a radiators, radiators. Yeah,

21:58

that's right. Through the floor up into the radiators. beautiful

22:00

heat great he's ringing you're

22:02

getting your plumbing fixed no we have

22:04

what happened last week the

22:06

power went off and it kept going off

22:08

when I you know you turn off around the electrician

22:11

Ian and he's like turn off all

22:13

the you turn off all the lamps

22:15

and stuff and that the fridge and

22:17

then turn them on one by one and if it goes off again that's it I

22:20

know but I didn't think of outside powerpoint

22:22

so he actually came around and he said well this

22:24

is a very small circuit you've got the fridge you've got

22:26

about a few lamps they're all off what

22:29

about the outside powerpoints I'm like of course

22:31

and it was the hydraulic heating was triggering the

22:33

safety switch it was snapping stepping off listen

22:36

us we're like electricians practically we could do it you

22:38

get a ticket down you need a trade I mean

22:40

that's one of those trades where you go you really got to know

22:42

what you're doing because shocking literally

22:45

literally but anyway

22:47

so then so I said to my

22:50

partner Kieran the you know the guys coming over

22:52

she sent his message he had a man got

22:54

here he knows Gemma he was friends

22:56

with biv and the fireball fans

22:59

they're talking about bands he said he talked to you

23:01

before and you on to the band shout

23:03

snout oh yeah it's

23:05

all making sense now

23:10

oh yes I know this guy the

23:12

electrician or the yeah the heater guy

23:14

this is a heater guy yeah this is the guy

23:16

the company sent over to fix the heater it's great

23:19

if you know that now I know you're gonna get a really good

23:21

job he's a rock and roll out this guy I remember

23:23

it really put the music on it just eel and relax and

23:25

do a really good job the my geodentricity

23:27

valve when they're doing it do

23:29

you stand and watch them look

23:31

with the electric I start

23:34

off we had a guy come over and do fix

23:37

a washing machine who was another rock and roller

23:39

guy who had like a motley crew

23:41

shirt on because it's the hairdo in the shirt isn't it yeah

23:44

yeah yeah the T yeah

23:46

you know he was into those sort of band

23:48

oh yeah tattoos too and for a little

23:51

bit for about a minute I'll leave you to it

23:53

I think you know I had a guy fix on the front

23:55

gate the other day and I went you know what I'm gonna leave you

23:58

if you stand there it's like and they I haven't

24:00

quite worked it out. I would feel under pressure.

24:02

Sometimes they go, no don't mind. I know my

24:05

brother doesn't like it. I know, I don't think he doesn't,

24:07

no. Phil wouldn't like it. No, he doesn't, no. So

24:10

I give him their time and I go in and I make a coffee and

24:12

I bring it out and I'm a little apron. That's

24:14

right, you little. Bit

24:17

no underpants on. No, he's turn around, quite

24:19

confronting. I don't stay and watch

24:21

them, no. I told you we had that guy once

24:23

and he was leaning on the floor fixing,

24:26

what was he fixing? And he was looking at my CD

24:28

and he just goes, a bit of

24:30

a Devo fan, are we Dave? And

24:33

I'm like, yeah, I love Devo. I gotta say this inappropriate.

24:36

Don't pass the comment on my thing.

24:39

No, I'm a big Devo. You know what, I don't mind. They're

24:41

a fan of the same music or books.

24:43

I think I told the story before, but I had a guy putting on, this

24:46

is back in the day when we had Galaxy. He

24:49

goes, let me grab this place. And the guy

24:51

obviously said, oh, what's it like? He started

24:53

to look around the room and he goes, yeah,

24:55

not bad. Not bad

24:57

story. What do you mean it's

24:59

not bad, mate? Yeah, not bad. That's up there with

25:01

you when the guy on camera stopped you and said,

25:03

one question, one question. I don't

25:05

like your show. I don't like your show. That's not a question.

25:09

So, Trapeze,

25:12

it's circus. You

25:14

don't often see it anywhere else, but as you said, you

25:16

would have seen it with the court jester or whatever

25:19

in the courtyard in the ye olde days, maybe.

25:22

It's Ringling Brothers, it's Barnum

25:24

and Bailey. There'd be music playing.

25:27

It's usually Brothers. It's

25:29

male, female. Sometimes they get imported from Spain

25:32

or Russia. Yeah, and they're probably just.

25:34

And they're not big guys, they're little guys. They're

25:36

like, not jockeys, but they're big. They don't have one big

25:38

one, don't they? Oh, it's the center kind of. Yeah, yeah.

25:41

The earthing kind of one. Like

25:43

Hans, Hans would be big. Hans. Hans,

25:47

you're a grouler. That's basically it. What's a Trapeze

25:50

act? Seven minutes, 10 minutes?

25:53

Yeah, probably. A bit of music. Dun, dun,

25:55

dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. That's not

25:57

a bad gig. Dangerous though. But as I

25:59

saw in the. circus when I saw it the other day, when

26:01

you get off the trapeze, no

26:03

disrespect. But sometimes they go to other

26:05

things that hold ropes, they

26:08

do sometimes there are clown in there. Yeah.

26:11

And the girl who climbed up the chairs at this one

26:14

sold us a hot dog. Oh, they're doing everything. Yeah.

26:17

We drove past the circus. There's a circus just near here

26:19

in a some of them called Balfield,

26:21

which is near West Harleburg. And there's a circus

26:23

there at the moment and they were packing up. I

26:26

said to. Oh, God. Imagine that.

26:28

So hard. And they all got to

26:30

chip in. Not just a strong man. That's when

26:32

you want the strong man. Who would be slack in the circus?

26:35

The clowns. The clowning. Maybe

26:37

he'd be hungover. Yeah. You

26:40

probably get up Gary. You've got a buddy.

26:42

Come on. Now, I'm an artist. I

26:45

need my I made my reference. I need to wreck my hands.

26:48

Yeah. I said, please don't interrupt me again. You

26:51

have to learn to live in the caravan. I think it'll be an adventurous

26:54

life because. For a little bit. And

26:56

then I don't know. I don't want to put down

26:59

circus people. They're taking entertainment to the people.

27:01

I reckon it's amazing what they do. But it'd be a hard

27:03

life. Yeah, it'd be a hard life. And there are those. I

27:05

don't think in Australia has a town. But in America, there's

27:08

a town in Florida where all the circus

27:10

people go in winter. And

27:12

they all live in the same place. I mean, I

27:14

think there's a in Vegas. They have

27:16

some circus. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

27:20

That's right. That's right. The

27:23

circus. I had a water one. Her

27:25

sisters were both in the circus. They

27:27

started off in Aubrey in the fruit fly. Then

27:30

they went to Circus Oz. And then they went to Cirque

27:32

du Soleil. These two girls.

27:35

Do you think it's a career move? Because you go Cirque du Soleil. You're

27:37

going to have work. You get to. That's

27:39

the pinnacle. You're never short

27:41

of work. Yeah. If you're a circus actor.

27:44

Yeah. And I suppose what you can do, you got your act. And

27:46

then you can just after work with them for

27:48

a while, you can work with the other one for a while. It's

27:50

like any kind of performing, especially physical

27:52

performing, like being a plumber. You can't

27:54

be on the tools when you're very hard to be

27:56

our agent, be a circus performer.

28:00

days of 1070 just became a grandfather

28:02

still on the tools he said I'll

28:05

go crazy if I don't keep on working what's he doing plumber

28:07

yeah well you give him a hug

28:10

28:12

so fit yeah I taught spongy

28:17

Okay,

I'll take your point. We should invent something. We

34:11

should invent something and that's gone.

34:14

And what's your middle name again? Leo? Leo

34:19

Tard! Leo Tard!

34:27

Wow Amazing.

34:29

That was fun. Incredible. Alright,

34:31

you want to have a go? Well, I just think yeah,

34:34

I think Leotards were

34:36

invented for the trapeze. Yeah, I do too.

34:38

Is that it? What's the answer Sam? On

34:41

the 12th of November 1859 The

34:44

first flying trapeze routine

34:46

was performed by Jules Leotard

34:48

on three trapeze bars at the Cirque

34:50

Napoleon The costume he invented

34:53

was a one-piece knitted garment streamline

34:55

to suit the safety and agility concerns

34:58

of trapeze performance

35:00

Wow We

35:02

were right. With our make-believe. We

35:04

were right. We predicted the future. Incredible.

35:10

You have been

35:10

listening to Somehow Related with

35:12

Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neill. I

35:23

mean, I

35:24

didn't go on to say that he had his

35:26

penis. No, that's why he invented it. He

35:28

invented it. But uh, I wonder if he... Anyway,

35:33

so therefore he invented an outfit

35:35

which was because smart

35:38

isn't it? Because your top would go all

35:40

over the place, your bottoms would be going all over

35:42

the place So therefore you invent

35:44

something that... But I reckon their leotard

35:46

would have been tied around the bottom, wouldn't it? Yes, it would

35:49

be. Absolutely. Yeah, it's a fitting. Oh,

35:51

that's amazing. What do you say? Try

35:53

to bring the leotard look back. Me

35:55

and you wear it at the next gig or whatever.

35:57

I can wear it at the gigs. Yeah, you can wear it.

36:00

Now that would be a look, do you come out in a leotard? Oh,

36:03

people remember you. Yeah,

36:06

they would. They're about to have that in their leotard.

36:09

Losing his mind. Do

36:11

you have any leotard jokes? No, I've got

36:13

no leotard. Circus jokes. Circus

36:16

jokes. No, I can't think

36:18

of a good circus joke. It'd be good, you know, like clowns.

36:21

No. Jeez. We're running

36:23

on empty with clowns. We're talking

36:25

about clowns a fair bit actually. Yeah.

36:29

Well, how do we say goodbye without a laugh or

36:31

some sort of up moment? Well, we can

36:33

just, you know, say goodbye. Say goodbye.

36:36

Oh, we're about to run out

36:38

of space on the disk. I've

36:40
