So I was watching that show The
0:02
assembly. Oh But
0:04
someone's talking about that. It was good interesting
0:06
when they get like 30 you
0:09
explain to everyone It's why where
0:11
they get some journalists who are
0:13
autistic right and they interview well-known
0:15
people their kids Oh, are they
0:17
younger? There was a student that
0:19
I would say they're probably in
0:21
their early 20s. Why they're
0:23
70 autistic journalists Yeah, they find so many
0:28
That's a good question Well, maybe
0:30
I don't think most journalists would be autistic It's
0:32
hard to be a journalist and be autistic now.
0:34
We're getting into areas that we don't know anything
0:36
about Yeah, we don't know because also there's a
0:38
broad range of autism. I know
0:40
that much Well, there was a show called on
0:43
love spectrum. Yeah, which was you know
0:45
way a Glimpse of
0:48
of the life of people falling in love or
0:50
trying to fall in love with
0:52
with autism and it was A fast side they
0:54
did too seriously to do UK version. I think
0:56
it was it originated here Yeah, and the guy
0:58
spun off into his own sitcom. Yeah
1:00
into Austin. He's very good that Adams while I
1:03
works on there He's very good friend of the
1:05
show So this one is it's a group of
1:07
people in a room and they're asking questions and
1:09
one of the celebrities Hamish went on a didn't
1:11
Yeah, yeah. I've only seen the first episode which
1:13
was with Sam Neil and It
1:16
was good. It was because their
1:18
questioning was intriguing enlightening
1:20
and For
1:22
one of a better way of saying it they ask Christians
1:24
that he probably wouldn't have asked
1:26
you Yeah, they're sort of
1:28
describing it like us on them because I
1:31
don't think that's right Recording
1:43
do I sound any different? No because
1:45
the reality was today was different. I
1:47
had lunch you didn't you sat there and watch me Was
1:50
it repulsive to watch me eat? No Quite
1:53
good manners. I've been out because curriculum
1:55
day we know for lunch with the kids
1:58
and Karen's history and
4:00
quite heartwarming to watch the whole thing unfold. But
4:03
one of the questions was, one of the girls
4:05
who suffered badly from anxiety, she
4:07
said, how do
4:09
you deal with anxiety and with what you do?
4:12
And you can see that he was anxious
4:14
even, he went, well, oh, um, uh,
4:17
wool, uh, I have
4:19
a bit of toast. Oh, I don't need
4:21
a bit of toast. He has a bit of toast.
4:23
Wow, nice. And then he just says,
4:25
uh, well, you
4:27
know what? I just remind myself that I'm good
4:29
at this and I've done it before and I'll
4:31
just go and do it again, which is kind
4:34
of what you do. You know what? You've got to do
4:36
that. Yeah, I do that. I mean, I'm sure when you
4:39
walk on stage, I know if there's a road bump, I
4:41
think I can handle it. I know I'm the same when
4:43
I do things. I go, I've done
4:45
this before. I did one the other night and I get
4:47
anything. You know what? It doesn't go that well. As
4:50
you always say, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. No, you
4:52
didn't hurt anyone. No, you're not doing brain surgery.
4:54
No, so therefore it's okay. It doesn't make you
4:56
a bad person. No, if,
4:58
you know, people don't laugh at you or don't
5:01
like whatever you're doing. And now bring
5:03
this back to me. He
5:05
said, have a piece of toast. I
5:08
was leaving the supermarket the other day and
5:11
you know, when sometimes the supermarket, they have things in the
5:13
alds, but then they'll put stuff out in the leaving areas.
5:16
Yeah. You know, near the cash register.
5:18
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the beyond special. I
5:21
haven't done this for a long time, but there was
5:24
crumpets there. Oh, I love a crumpet. And
5:26
not only that, I didn't know this. Well, maybe
5:28
I did. You got your round
5:30
crumpet and you got your
5:33
square crumpet. Yeah, that's a sort of a
5:35
recent thing. I reckon square crumpets. Square crumpet.
5:37
And they have a line down the middle
5:39
where you can cut them in half. Yeah,
5:41
yeah. And I looked at it and went,
5:43
probably shouldn't have crumpets. Cause you know. Oh,
5:45
they're good though. How good
5:47
are they? They're great. Anyway, the other night, normally
5:50
when I bring things home, we'll put them down and we'll put
5:52
them in the cup and then we won't have them. One
5:55
night I went, it was cold night and I went light.
5:57
I went crumpet. Do you want a crumpet? and
6:00
what you have on it well this is
6:03
where it gets really I love peanut butter
6:05
on crumpets Selena had one
6:07
and I had one and on her she put
6:09
I think she put butter so did you gather
6:11
round one or with the square one yeah I
6:14
took onto that meeting
6:16
yeah because they they got the round
6:18
one that's going well and then they go there would have
6:21
been a meeting there would have been him what's happening today
6:23
we're discussing bringing out a square crumpet
6:26
well prattokes who I've just been on too was saying
6:29
his sister makes crumpets really what
6:31
cuz they're quite hard to make because they're
6:33
a bread but they're fried or something because
6:35
when you buy them they're pre-cooked you know
6:37
that yeah and they are they can take
6:39
really long time in the time yeah is
6:42
there a crumpet sitting on the toaster there
6:44
is on some toasters absolutely quite often
6:46
the crumpet yeah that not enough done
6:49
back you go for another another go
6:51
so anyway slave puts butter on looks
6:53
done I think she put a little
6:55
bit of which you put maybe a
6:57
little bit of peanut butter and
7:00
then lemon whoa
7:02
that's interesting so and I went
7:04
hey what this is kooky it's a bit master
7:07
chef yeah I gotta say took
7:09
me to the other side really it's my new favorite
7:11
thing well you know my brother was saying cuz he's
7:13
a bit of a cook mark and he read this
7:16
thing that us all these chefs if you were on
7:18
the desert island yeah and you could either take you've
7:21
got food but you could either just take salt lemon
7:23
or pepper he said all the
7:25
chefs chose lemon really yeah you
7:28
think they choose salt now they chose a lemon over everything
7:30
else so I reckon lemons a secret
7:32
weapon I reckon it punches way up
7:34
its weight and not only that it's a very good
7:36
cleaning product oh we've
7:39
got a lemon tree it's really is really
7:41
good I've got it you know
7:43
and it's very good for your digestion oh let
7:45
the lemon flavor is beautiful God
7:48
whoever he when he invented well he did
7:50
really well and it comes in a package
7:52
a beautiful package that you pull for tree
7:54
smells good doesn't cost that much my daughter
7:56
made lemon tart the other day Beautiful
8:00
lemon tart. Beautiful. I think we
8:02
could do a podcast devoted to
8:05
the lemon. All the
8:07
ways it's affected our lives. We did lemons once. Lemons
8:09
and the mafia. Because that's how the
8:12
mafia got set up. Because they
8:14
controlled the lemon trade in Sicily, I think it
8:16
was. We've already done it. We've already done lemons.
8:18
Pat ourselves on the back. So. Is
8:20
there the U2 song, Lemon? No, you're making that up. No,
8:23
there's a U2 song called Lemon. Lemon.
8:25
It was a single. Officer Roper
8:28
maybe? Lemon. You turned
8:30
up to a U2 songwriting session. Like
8:32
you, Bono. I got something about suffering
8:34
the streets. I got something about divorce.
8:36
I've got something about lemons. What? Lemon.
8:40
Lemon. It does
8:42
sound like a made up song about lemons. It's in the 90s.
8:44
Lemon. Anyway, I'm now
8:46
converted to buying
8:49
things on the way out from the supermarket because
8:51
it's a little surprise. And
8:54
then, I don't know whether you probably won't go with me on
8:56
this, but I thought I'm on a good
8:58
roll as I'm walking into the supermarket. Next time I was
9:00
at the supermarket, because we already
9:02
had the crumpets at home, I picked
9:04
up a packet of Pikelets. Oh,
9:07
yeah, they're good. Yeah,
9:09
no, I'm with you on them. Pikelets.
9:12
Karen bought some the other night. Did she really? Yeah,
9:14
in the packet. Yeah, the packet of Pikelets. I
9:17
said, did you make them? She said, I bought them. So, how did you
9:20
have them? No, it's jam butter. I
9:22
had jam. I bought some jam the other day. It cost
9:24
me $9. No, jam's not good. It was
9:26
a special jam. Bon Monde. Bon Monde. It
9:28
was good. I don't know, it
9:31
was from a French special store
9:33
down the coast. And a
9:35
little bit of yogurt. Not a Pikelet. Oh, yeah, that'd
9:37
be all right. It's like a cream substitute.
9:39
I mean, you could have cream, absolutely. When
9:42
does a pancake become a Pikelet? Yes. It's
9:46
a size thing, isn't it? There's no difference
9:49
in the ingredients, I reckon. Very
9:51
little difference. Hey, what are you making?
9:53
Making pancakes. I'm having a run out of... I
9:56
haven't got enough to make a whole pancake. It's going to be
9:58
a small one. We'll have to have another... How
12:00
we used to do that? I don't need that pressure. You've
12:02
got to use pytite. Expired!
12:06
Bring on the music. Welcome
12:14
to Somehow Related Now.
12:16
Please welcome your hosts,
12:18
Glenn Robinson, Dave O'Neill.
12:20
Here we are. I've
12:23
been meeting a lot of listeners to the
12:25
show actually on tour. You say that. Yeah,
12:29
Kasula and Kara. Often
12:31
they say, I only knew about the gig
12:33
because you mentioned it on this podcast. So
12:35
I've got to tell you where I'm going.
12:37
Oh, well yeah, no, we have... Colac? I
12:41
love Colac. You know Colac? If
12:43
I've been to Colac... Yeah, you've
12:45
been to Colac. No, I did come
12:47
home by Colac the other day when we went in the
12:49
line. We went in the land from Lorne and then went
12:51
round the back way back home. That's
12:54
Wednesday, 18th September. 9th September, Horsham. 20th
12:58
September, Portland. There we go. People
13:01
are listening out there and want to connect. Come
13:03
along. Because I always hang around
13:06
and talk to people. Like a sad, lovely man. When
13:09
you say you hang around and talk, what does that mean? Often
13:11
I sell books. I'll bring my books along and sell them. What
13:13
happens when you turn up to these theatres and the guy goes,
13:15
and he's got a clipboard and he goes, and
13:17
meet and greet after the show? I'm like, yeah,
13:19
I suppose so. I don't know. But
13:21
people are very keen in Kasula, which
13:23
is in the southwest of Sydney. People
13:26
bought lollies and stuff. What do you
13:28
mean they brought lollies? Because I do the Junkies podcast.
13:30
They brought lollies for you to try? To
13:33
have. While they're watching you. Yeah, they give
13:35
them to me after the show. Oh yeah.
13:38
I had a big night in my hotel room. So they
13:40
give you... I'd say it's like a donation to the... It's
13:43
an offering. Yeah. They bring an offering.
13:45
Wow. And then you are obliged then
13:47
to go back to your room. And eat them. I've
13:50
got to tell you, I've got so much to
13:52
put in my bag on the plane. I've kept it in
13:54
the wardrobe away from the kids. That's a secret stash.
13:57
That keeps on wandering up and going into
13:59
the room. and coming out with my
14:01
son said, what are you eating? No, nothing,
14:03
nothing, just a date. So are you really keeping
14:05
those long? Yeah. Surely
14:07
your kids could have them. Don't you want the kids to
14:09
have a treat? No, look, they've got enough treats. I'll have
14:12
a look tonight, I'll see what's left. Me and my dad
14:14
used to go to the Masonic Lodge. He would come home
14:16
late at night. He would have had a few beers and
14:18
he would have got a party pie and put it in
14:20
his pocket and wrapped it up in a napkin. So I'd
14:22
get a party pie at about 11.30 at night in bed.
14:24
Oh yeah. How good was that? That's
14:26
good. Yeah. That's good. You
14:28
should walk in the door after a gig and
14:31
just throw bags of lollies about. Or
14:33
you have a hunt. Have a lolly hunt.
14:35
Yeah. She's, you know. In dad's walking
14:38
wardrobe. Yeah. Anyway,
14:40
thanks for listening to the podcast. Oh look, dad, it's
14:43
lovely to hear that. And you know, because I'm a-
14:45
You don't get out much. Well I'm a hermit. You're
14:47
the only person that keeps me in touch with what's
14:49
happening in the real world. Not really. Yeah, you're in
14:51
the real world. You're out there. I'm out there man,
14:54
I'm out there. Well we should get the topics. We
14:56
get two topics. Could work out how
14:58
they are related. What are the topics, Sam?
15:01
Springtime spring rolls and gold bars.
15:03
Wow. That was a song, wasn't
15:05
it? You are gold. Always
15:08
believe in yourself, Spannabellae. You've got the
15:10
power to know. You're indestructible.
15:13
Oh, I love Spannabellae. I saw them a few
15:15
times. Always believe in- You went into Spannabellae. I
15:17
saw them in the 80s. That's very much your
15:19
period, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You wave, British.
15:21
Everyone does that dance. That weird- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
15:23
yeah. Arms up in the air, you're right. The
15:25
drains are in. Yeah, you know, I saw them
15:27
in the 80s and they split up. The drummer,
15:29
the sax player and the singer, Tony Hadley sued
15:32
the brothers who wrote all the songs, the Kemp
15:34
brothers, the guitarist and the bass player. Really? And
15:37
then- So good. They lost the court case and then
15:39
they just kept playing together. Imagine
15:42
the Monday after the court case. Good day,
15:44
Gary. Good day, Tony. Yeah,
15:46
not a great result for you, Blakes, but anyway, plug
15:48
in your own. That's weird, isn't it? Isn't it? They
15:51
still played together. And the court case, it wouldn't have
15:53
been friendly. No, it wasn't. Yeah, and they're all going,
15:55
well, I don't want to not be part of the
15:57
money anymore. So they're probably- Yeah, maybe that's why. Yeah.
15:59
That's like the thing our brothers are just getting back
16:01
together. Oh, Aces. What's
16:04
happened there? Noel and Liam. Happened a couple of weeks
16:06
ago. Oh, you interviewed one of them. I interviewed Noel.
16:10
They're little. They're tiny. When you say tiny,
16:12
how tiny? Like these bees are like a
16:14
Barbie doll or like... No, they're not grand
16:16
dania. They're more rove. They're
16:20
little. Are they the
16:22
little girl summers? Yes. They're adult summers. Yeah, they're
16:24
adult summers. But are they slight or are they...
16:26
Oh no, they're skinny. They're little guys. Yeah, they're
16:28
not big. But they'd be good fighters, I reckon.
16:31
Well, they say they are. Noel
16:33
is very funny. Which is the one that was
16:35
on with the Zanro. That's Noel.
16:37
He's a guitarist who wrote all the songs and
16:39
Liam's the singer. Right. I don't know. You know,
16:41
they had a fight backstage
16:43
at a concert in France and he threw a
16:45
plum at his head and that started the... A
16:48
plum. A plum. That was it. That was it.
16:50
They started punching on. And then that... What? Well,
16:53
plum... Yeah, that
16:55
could be quite hurtful. A
16:58
plum in the plum. But gold's interesting because gold's
17:00
been a currency for a long time, hasn't it?
17:02
And people... You know, those preppers and stuff you
17:04
see on those shows where they're
17:06
building bunkers, they often have gold bars and
17:09
silver as well. Because it outlasts
17:12
currency. Stands alone, doesn't it? It's
17:14
gold. So therefore it's not part of a monetary
17:17
setup. So therefore it can't become worthless. People often
17:19
say when there's problems with the stock market that
17:22
you should go to gold. Yeah. I've not invested
17:24
in the stock market. I wouldn't know anything about
17:26
it. But gold... I had
17:28
gold shares once. Because
17:30
you know, I work with Tom Elliott, who's now
17:32
on radio. Yeah. And he was a stockbroker because
17:34
we did Triple R together, community radio. Yeah. And
17:36
he would ring up and whisper on the phone,
17:38
buy these shares. Go, go on, fell him, I'll
17:40
be there. Like, why are you whispering? If the
17:42
tax department are listening, they're listening. I don't think
17:44
you want the people in the office to hear
17:46
him. But he would say it on air. No,
17:48
no, this, he'd just ring me on my home
17:51
phone. Oh. Buy these shares. Really? Buy
17:53
these. That's inside of trading, kind of.
17:55
You gotta sell. You gotta sell. There's always
17:57
some information coming from somewhere. So he told
17:59
me to... buy, so I bought shares like
18:01
what we refer to Glenn as blue chip
18:03
shares, Coca-Cola, country
18:05
road. I didn't
18:08
buy BSP, but if I hung onto those
18:10
shares, Coca-Cola, anyway,
18:12
I shouldn't have sold it. Would you say
18:14
that? Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola. Because I mean, look at
18:17
me, I'm drinking Coca-Cola right now. Anyway, so
18:19
he said buy the Indonesian speculative
18:21
mining shares called Golden Valley, right? And
18:23
so I bought them at like a
18:25
dollar. How much did you buy? How
18:27
many? Oh. Thousand dollars? Two,
18:29
three grand, I reckon. Wow. You're
18:32
a high roller. You're the real deal. You know,
18:34
I wouldn't have had much money back in those
18:36
days. Anyway, so I bought them and they went
18:38
through the roof because they found a
18:41
geologist did some samples and they found gold
18:43
in the samples, right? And so that, it
18:45
just shoots up, you know what I mean?
18:47
Straight away. But then... Whoa, look
18:49
at that. So what is this? You gotta sell
18:51
the shares. What? You gotta sell the
18:53
shares. Well, what happened was
18:56
the geologists faked the samples, right?
18:58
And they landed in Indonesia in a helicopter
19:00
and he ran off into the jungle. Was
19:02
never seen again. Just ran
19:04
off with my money. So
19:07
hang on. You couldn't sell them. I sold them.
19:09
And you bought them from a company? Or did
19:11
you buy them? That's not a stock market. But
19:13
was it a company? Yeah, it's a publicly said
19:15
company. So they're all legit. Right. Of course it
19:17
was. Gold and Valley Mining, though, of course. So
19:20
you're investigating a mining company who was under some
19:22
wind, gold, but that
19:24
wasn't really... It wasn't real. It wasn't real.
19:26
Wow. And did you lose money? A little
19:28
bit. How much? No. A couple of grand.
19:31
$500 maybe or something like that. I sold
19:33
them pretty quickly because they kept going up
19:35
and up. I'm like, I should sell now.
19:38
They've like gone 10 times the amount. Greed,
19:40
greed, greed. And then it all went pear
19:42
shaped. But didn't you do Australian history in...
19:44
Yeah. Have we talked about... We've talked about
19:47
the gold rush before. And the Peter Lawler
19:49
and all that stuff. Yeah, Eureka Stockay. So
19:51
Australia, especially Victoria? The gold
19:53
rush was fascinating. Like... Oh, yeah, really?
19:55
Be honest. Well,
19:59
that's why we... We have Ballarat and Bendigo and places like
20:01
that now because of the gold rush. There
20:04
you go. You're not happy with that? I
20:07
find it fascinating. Why do you find it fascinating? I'm
20:09
not saying it's not. It was just boom around the
20:11
world. So it wasn't just here. It was in America
20:13
and Canada as well. It's just like, why
20:16
gold in the hills? And they just put that
20:18
value on a mineral basically, isn't it? It's like
20:20
weird. Yeah, I suppose it is. It is weird
20:22
when you think you can just dig a hole
20:24
and you might find it. Yeah. It's
20:27
not like you have to go and make something and sell it. It's
20:29
right there in the ground. What was the big one
20:31
they found? The Welcome Stranger or something? Oh, of
20:34
course. We're missing a major thing here. I was
20:36
in the nugget, the movie about a gold nugget.
20:39
Can't believe you've forgotten that, Glenn.
20:41
Yeah, and so. Yes. Did
20:44
you find them? You found one. We found the
20:46
gold nugget. In the movie. I love that film.
20:48
Yeah, it's in the mountains in Mudgee. We find
20:50
this massive gold nugget. By mistake. And you find
20:52
it, don't you? Yeah, I find it. You go
20:54
off fruit. I find it. How do you find it?
20:56
Got a gold detector. Haven't I? No,
20:59
we were fauceting. We were amateur
21:01
enthusiasts. And then you fell out doing the through-view.
21:04
Which is what happens. And then, spoiler,
21:06
they melt down the nugget. The Alan
21:08
Brose character melts down the nugget. And
21:11
it pours down the street, doesn't it? It does, that's right.
21:13
But don't you come back at this happy ending? It's
21:16
sort of happy, yeah, we're all happy at the
21:18
end. And then I think Eric Banner's character turned
21:20
into the Hulk, if I remember correctly. Yeah, he
21:22
did. Got really angry
21:24
and pulled everybody apart. Yeah, the
21:26
Welcome Stranger. And
21:28
when I was there, I drove around a lot. I was
21:31
so bored. And I went to Hill End, where they found
21:33
the, that's where they found the biggest nugget. The
21:35
second biggest nugget was Warrandyne in
21:37
Victoria. But the biggest nugget was
21:40
Hill End, I think. Was it the Welcome Stranger?
21:42
I think it weighs about 80 kilos or something.
21:44
That's more than me. Yeah,
21:46
the one we had wasn't gold, no, it was plaster
21:49
Paris. Plaster Paris, they went down
21:51
the bunnings to get a bit of gold spray. Come
21:54
on, get the good gold spray. You know what?
21:56
You could do the nugget too. With all these
21:58
movies coming back, like Bibley Hill's Cop. He pops back,
22:01
but they brought sea change back. We can do the nugget.
22:03
I'm available. I think maybe a
22:05
TV series, the nugget. Yeah, Eric's around. He'd love
22:07
it. Would he? I
22:09
don't know, he might be above it. But what's
22:12
the storyline? Simon Carey's around. What's the storyline for
22:14
Nugget too? Karen Pang, my wife's still around. The
22:16
only one who sadly passed away was Blinda Emmett.
22:18
Oh, she was a lovely, incredible, beautiful talent. Really
22:20
lovely. One of the most beautiful singers I've ever
22:22
heard, I think. Blinda, she was a really nice
22:24
person. Yeah. What would the plot be? Why would
22:26
she come back together? We'd have to find another nugget. You
22:30
can't just find another nugget. It's too
22:32
convenient. Maybe... Do
22:34
we find something else? Do we find like a silver?
22:38
It's a copper. It's the holy grail. It's
22:40
the same as all those quest movies. Yeah.
22:43
All right, well, let's scrap that for the time being.
22:46
Gold, what is it? They call it bullion, don't they?
22:48
And then it comes in bars, doesn't it? Bars
22:51
of gold bullion. And
22:53
you have it in jewelry. You have it...
22:56
In your teeth? If you've got gold teeth out and
22:58
you're listening, please don't feel bad about this. But do
23:01
you think gold teeth look attractive? No,
23:03
but they look good on gangsters and rappers.
23:07
Already, they're pebble. They've got gold teeth again. You
23:09
think they look like a gangster? I mean, I
23:11
think I've got a gold feeling. Do we have
23:13
gold on our teeth? No, that's silver. Oh,
23:15
okay. Sure, I've got some gold somewhere because they said
23:17
that's the best thing for it. Because gold is quite
23:19
soft, is it not? Yeah, it is. It's a soft
23:22
meal. And it doesn't rust. I didn't
23:24
know that. No, it doesn't rust. Have
23:26
you got anything gold in your life?
23:28
Besides your tooth, maybe? No, just the
23:30
nugget movie poster. I've
23:33
got my dad's old watch. Oh, there
23:35
you go. Gold. And I've got a couple of
23:38
old watches that are from the family. But
23:40
I don't wear anything gold. Like, would you have a gold
23:42
chain? Yeah, I don't like that. Or a gold ring or
23:44
a gold... You know what I've got? I've got old gold
23:47
chocolate. Do you like the
23:49
old gold? No. It's too much sugar.
23:51
It's too dark. I'm 85. Yeah,
23:53
you love a bit of dark chocolate. Yeah, but I don't go
23:56
with the gold. I think it's got too much sugar in it.
23:58
What else can we say about gold? I don't think much... The
40:00
name was like really big or really low.
40:02
It's like what? Giant springs got a ring
40:04
to it. You know, yeah. How
40:08
does the pastry stick together? Is it egg or something? How
40:10
do you make the pastry stick? No,
40:13
we don't use any egg. We
40:15
just put water. It sticks to its,
40:17
yeah, just a bit of water and
40:20
then it seals itself. Have
40:22
you considered going into a supermarket line? Glenn,
40:27
no, if everything's made by hand,
40:29
it's not going to be cost
40:31
effective because, you know,
40:33
the supermarket is going to bargain you down
40:35
as low as possible. We're not
40:38
about that. We're about quality and handmade.
40:42
Did you ever talk to the South Melbourne
40:44
dim sim guy? Because he put his kids
40:46
through private school. Yeah, he did. He
40:48
did. He maintains it, doesn't he?
40:50
Yeah, he says that. Funny you
40:52
asked, Dave, we were at Anglesey
40:55
Riverbank Market and the kids, all
40:57
the people that started the South
40:59
Melbourne Dimmys, they come up to us
41:01
and say, hey, can you supply us with
41:04
your vegetarian spring roll? And
41:06
it's really hard to supply our third
41:08
party because the cost is pretty high
41:11
with labour in Australia. So I
41:13
said no. Oh, you turn
41:15
them down. Yeah, no. Keep
41:17
a monopoly on the giant, what you're doing. Then
41:19
you found some dim sims on your front doorstep.
41:24
No, I didn't even get that. No,
41:27
throw it against the thing. They won't do it. Well,
41:29
it's a man. We'll keep doing the good
41:31
work, Ollie. It's incredible. I love your work.
41:33
And what are the sauces that you offer?
41:35
We've got chilli sauce or sriracha sauce. We've
41:37
got soy and vinegar and sweet
41:40
chilli, sweet soy. I'm about to add
41:42
hoisin because people say, yes, put some
41:44
hoisin in there because you've got a
41:46
duck spring roll. You need some hoisin.
41:49
Does it come in a bag or does it come
41:52
in a bag? So if there's any bits that pop
41:54
out the bottom, you still get that little bit bag
41:56
in the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. We're soon to supply spoons
41:58
so you can scoop up. Whatever's
42:00
left over. I
42:03
tried the other day you had garlic prawn. That was
42:05
a good one. Are there any ones you've had a
42:07
cracker that didn't work? Because you've got like, you've got
42:09
dark chicken pork. And the veggie ones are very good
42:12
actually. But have you had a cracker? We got prawn,
42:14
we got iced fillet beef. We
42:16
did have high green curry in
42:18
there with rice. The Indonesian nasi
42:20
goreng as well. Didn't
42:23
sell? No, no, no. You're
42:28
getting a bit too complicated. I need to
42:30
streamline everything. Well,
42:32
thanks for talking to us. I said, have you got any ideas for a
42:34
spring roll, Glenn? What do you think? Sate
42:36
chicken. You've got to give a
42:38
nod to something. Could you do a vina schnitzel
42:40
one? In
42:45
the Philippines, right? You're Filipino, Ollie, aren't you?
42:47
I'm Filipino. Came here in 86. So
42:50
I was 11 years old. Yeah. So in
42:52
the Philippines, if you run out of pastry
42:55
and you go, oh, I want to make a
42:57
spiral, but I don't have any pastry, you can
42:59
just stir fry the ingredients and call it naked
43:01
spring roll because there's no pastry. That
43:05
could be good for... I like the spice. Yeah, yeah.
43:07
Glenn would like that. Because he's in
43:09
the mouth. Yeah, yeah. We can have naked burgers
43:11
now that just come in a bit of lettuce
43:13
because people don't want the bread. You're onto something
43:15
there. Yeah. Well, thanks Ollie. Thanks for talking to
43:17
us. Man, you guys are the best. Good on
43:19
you, man. Keep up the good work. And giant
43:21
springs. Keep an eye out for them at the
43:23
markets in Melbourne and Victoria. Thanks, Ollie. Thanks,
43:26
Ollie. There we go. Good
43:28
man. Giant springs. Yeah. It is funny you
43:30
bring up the South Melbourne guy sending his
43:32
to private schools because the grandkids, the grandkid
43:34
was working in one of the stalls. No,
43:37
the son. Oh, really? And
43:39
he said, yeah, dad made all this money since you're in private school.
43:41
And I said, oh yeah, and you're working here now. Bang.
43:46
Anyway, no, maybe he's a lawyer. I don't know.
43:48
Yeah, two stings, Ron Fry. Thanks, mate. Get a
43:50
hold of him. Maybe he's a lawyer. Okay, so...
43:52
We need thinking music. Yeah, well, you know, we
43:54
could have a bit of... A
43:56
gold member, trailer from gold member.
43:58
Gold finger. And
50:00
it's your job to find the good thing in the
50:02
bag. It's yin and yang, isn't it? Really? Ying
50:05
and yang, that's right. If I said you've gotta wear a lucky
50:07
charm, oh, surely
50:10
if you had a... Mini nugget? No,
50:12
a somehow related
50:15
thing to hang around your neck. Oh,
50:18
how good would that be? I think I'd rather a
50:20
nugget. You know what, I'd have a
50:22
chicken nugget. What's the name?
50:24
People have shark's teeth around their neck?
50:26
Yeah, shark's teeth, absolutely. Again,
50:29
it's pretty horrific, really. But
50:31
they, as we've discussed before, sharks have a lot
50:33
of teeth, don't they? I learnt on this podcast.
50:35
Well, I think I learnt it from you. All
50:37
I say is this. This
50:40
is the final word, guys. This is the final word. Get
50:42
ready for this. Podcast is ending, this is gonna be good.
50:44
And some people have taken this up, friends of mine have
50:46
taken this up, when we always sit down for a
50:48
meal with dad, or you sit down and you just
50:50
make yourself, oh, you know, a
50:52
toasted sandwich or something, or a bowl of soup, dad
50:54
would look at you and go, you go to your,
50:56
who's a lucky boy? You are. So
50:59
I reckon that's the lucky charm you carry around
51:01
with you. So if someone's about to do something,
51:03
they got something new, or
51:05
they got something they're really proud of, or who's a
51:07
lucky boy you are? Well, my dad, well, I know
51:10
that was the final word, but I'm gonna talk. My
51:14
dad, when mum would start chopping three veg, dad
51:16
would eat it and go, oh, this is bloody
51:18
good choice. And then he'd say, I wonder what
51:20
the poor people are doing tonight. And I'd always
51:22
say, they're having red rooster.
