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.
