We had a lovely review from, I think her

0:03

name was Sally. She's a mental health worker and

0:05

has a long drive back from work and

0:07

I would imagine that there'd be good days

0:10

and harder days and she drives a lot

0:12

of pleasure from listening to our podcast. Hello.

0:15

So what I'm thinking is that we get in contact

0:17

with her, as I said, her name is Sally. You've

0:20

had some things where you've questioned whether you should

0:22

go into a nursing home. I've had some things,

0:24

have I had anything that I questioned about being

0:26

in a nursing home? Well the fact that when

0:28

you're visiting your mother, a woman asks you what

0:30

room you were in. That's

0:33

a huge red flag, as they say. Well

0:36

I had an incident the other day that I had

0:38

a fall. Yeah and it's

0:40

a fall, you didn't fall over, you had a fall.

0:42

I had a fall, yes. I'll

0:45

take you through it. I was lucky enough to

0:47

play in the Mick Fanning charity golf day up

0:49

in the Gold Coast and that is

0:51

so genuine. Now he's a famous- Surfer.

0:53

Surfer. I was gonna say motorcycle, I was

0:55

thinking the other one. Oh gosh, yeah, three time world champion.

0:58

Did you punch the shark? Absolutely. He

1:00

is one of the most beautiful men you've ever met. Stayed

1:02

in his house, slept in his room. Anyway- Oh

1:05

my God! He turned his house into

1:07

a place that he reads out. Airbnb.

1:09

Yeah, it's better than an Airbnb. Do

1:11

people know that it's Mick Fanning's house and you can hire

1:13

Mick Fanning's house? Oh yeah, you can, yeah. Wow. And

1:16

you can actually probably sleep in his room. Well I think so 20 bucks

1:18

get punched in the head. Put

1:20

the shark costume on. Cosplay.

1:22

And they give you a lovely bag of

1:24

gifts. Oh yeah, a gift bag. Because

1:27

a lot of sponsors are involved and it was

1:29

very successful. I think that- It's for charity. It's

1:31

for charity for the floods. People up there. Oh

1:33

yeah, they're stills. Well because people

1:35

have houses that they didn't insure and the

1:37

houses can't be lived in, so therefore they can't

1:39

sell them, can't fix them. And it's terrible so

1:41

people are still suffering. So he doesn't- I was

1:43

in Rochester last Sunday with the great Des Dallin

1:45

doing a gig and a woman organizing is still

1:47

living in her shed. Yep. 600

1:50

days since the floods there. Yeah, and people, I

1:52

don't know whether people realise this. Terrible. It's great

1:54

that we can still help out. And it's great

1:56

that our houses went flooded. Yeah. Because

1:58

a flood, as they say- worse than a fire.

2:01

That's what they said I didn't know that. Yeah.

2:03

Because it flood everything gets damaged and fire anyway.

2:05

If you chose a disaster what would it be?

2:08

tsunami flood earthquake. Or living next

2:10

door to the crack house. Tornado.

2:15

So now I have my my bag

2:18

and I have a bag of gifts

2:20

first of all problem I realized that

2:22

but I couldn't not take gifts because

2:24

they've supplied by sponsors. So I'm going

2:26

oh can I get on the

2:28

plane? Do I have to change my leg? Do I

2:30

have to pay more? So I thought I'll give it

2:32

a crack. So I've got two bags walking

2:34

down the thing get past the first one get past

2:36

the second one and then I get on with the

2:38

plane and I'm a little bit late so I'm the

2:40

last one walking in. Annoying. So I've just

2:43

kept the one bag low and kept one

2:45

bag high and then

2:47

tripped and face planted in

2:49

front of everybody. I mean it wasn't just

2:51

a trip it was in the aisle in

2:53

the aisle I went down a hundred percent.

2:56

Wow! It was like where were the cameras? Russell's

2:59

filming. Yeah what did someone say as

3:01

I hit the deck? He put his

3:03

hand out he probably softened the blow

3:05

slightly he said nice to have someone

3:08

aboard. The obvious was it would

3:10

be Russell Croy. Russell Croy. No he's gone for

3:12

Uncle Arthur which is probably a better one. He's

3:14

gone nice to have Uncle Arthur aboard.

3:17

I hit the deck got up and. Because it's kind

3:20

of hard to fall in the aisle because they're not

3:22

big. No and as I'm going

3:24

I'm going I'm going all the way. I'm

3:26

going all the way. And you didn't hit

3:28

any arm rest. No but as I went

3:30

down a guy sort of grabbed my arm

3:32

he probably softened it but because I had

3:34

a bag in one hand two bags and

3:36

then the front one I tripped over. It's

3:38

amazing someone didn't film it really and then

3:40

I got to

3:43

my seat you know a bit embarrassed sat

3:45

down dropped my phone I mean you know

3:47

and I dropped my phone down.

3:49

Oh yeah they don't grab it.

3:52

Yeah so we went down in

3:54

the thing as we're taking off.

4:00

I say to the guy, did a phone come through?

4:03

And he goes, yeah, I saw something go. And

4:05

then he fills around. He's almost out of his

4:07

seat with his arm underneath, feeling

4:09

around. I'm feeling around. The light hasn't come

4:11

on yet where you can take your seat.

4:13

But I'm feeling around. He

4:16

goes, nah, nothing here. He goes

4:18

to the next girl. She

4:21

goes, no, I think I saw

4:23

something. It was seven rows back.

4:27

Wow, seven rows. Yep. They

4:30

go, gay Russell. Hey, your face out here,

4:32

matey. We're looking at your

4:34

contacts. Wow, you know Eric

4:36

Banner. So

4:39

it hasn't been. That's almost like

4:41

a Dali male show where they escort you off

4:43

for security. When they land, they always get the

4:45

security cards. Come on. Glen

4:47

Robbins has scolded off. They put me in a wheelchair

4:49

and sent me straight

4:51

to the nursing camp because I'm doing things that old people shouldn't

4:54

do. Anyway, so you

4:56

know what? I'm thinking because

4:58

you tried to clean yourself with a plug.

5:01

You also... Line up on a mannequin. I

5:03

reckon we get a whiteboard in here and

5:05

we start to assemble. And then

5:07

we'll maybe send them off to Sally. I had a small one

5:09

the other night. I was in Myrtleford doing a gig. And I

5:11

walked into the main bar and the footy was on. And

5:14

I looked up trying to be a blokey. I

5:17

said, oh, gee, low scoring game tonight. It

5:20

was like 12 versus 10 or

5:22

something like that. And the guy next to me

5:24

goes, that's the inside 50s, mate. I'm

5:26

like, oh, yeah, cool. Yeah, anyway. Yeah.

5:29

Anyway, play that music, Courtney. Play

5:31

that music. Oh, God. Welcome

5:33

to Somehow Related

5:37

Now. Please

5:40

welcome your hosts, Glen Robbins and

5:43

Dave O'Neill. All

5:49

right, here we are on the podcast. Welcome

5:51

to everyone. And we get two

5:54

topics going to work out how they're related. Yep, two

5:56

topics somehow related. And it's a journey

5:59

of fulfillment. of vulnerability. That's

6:01

funny, that's the use of a journey because

6:03

Kieran said I should do that in stand-up.

6:06

She looks at a lot of these house renovation sites

6:08

and the guy goes, we're gonna go on a

6:10

journey. She goes, they don't even leave

6:12

the house. It's not a journey. She

6:15

goes, the hobbit's chucking that ring in the fire in the

6:17

Lord of the Rings. That's a journey. It's not bad, stand

6:19

up. It's good when

6:21

you give her credit for that. Yeah, well, should we

6:24

get our topics? Yeah. All right,

6:26

what are they, Sam? Dolly, Parthen, Harry

6:28

Potter and Asterix and Obelix. That's

6:30

a three-way. Do you know

6:33

who Asterix is? You know Asterix, the cartoon. I'm

6:36

gonna say no. I mean, when you say

6:38

it. Asterix and Obelix. I've never seen it.

6:40

Is it French? Yes. It's

6:43

more known as a comic book that we used to

6:45

get at school. Remember Tintin? Remember Tintin, the boy wonder?

6:48

You get Tintin and you got Asterix.

6:50

I loved Asterix. Asterix was the best.

6:52

Really? Yeah. So

6:54

it would be translated? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

6:56

And what sort of book was it? Was

6:59

it Wordy Wordy? Was it cartoon? A lot of, it's

7:01

a comic book, but there's lots of words in it

7:03

and there's lots of action. My kids like it. And

7:05

is it Viking? Is it something? No, it's a- They're

7:08

Gauls. They're verse the Romans. That's right. The

7:10

Romans took over, but they went, we're gonna have it go independent or

7:12

something? Yes. So there's one small

7:14

village in France that is holding out

7:16

against the Romans and it's the Gauls

7:19

because they've drunk the magic potion. Hello.

7:22

They've drunk the magic potion. And

7:24

they bash them all up. Hang on, who do

7:26

they bash up? The Romans. Oh, so

7:28

it's basically about war then. Yeah, yeah,

7:30

but it's funny. And so they live

7:32

in a village. There's a fishmonger. There's

7:34

the architect called, I think

7:36

the magician's called, they have funny names and the magician's

7:39

called Getterfix, I think. Right. So

7:41

it's period? Oh yeah,

7:43

yeah. And so basically the

7:45

Romans turn up and they try to invade

7:47

the village and Obelix is a big fat

7:49

one, which is played by Gerard Depadou in

7:51

a movie. Gerard Depadou. And Asterix is the

7:54

little one with the mustache. And

7:56

yeah, they get in a lot of punch-ons. And

7:58

the core sort of... message from it

8:01

is violence works drink

8:05

drink a magic potion I don't know what

8:07

it's in the magic potion and they have

8:09

like women in it and stuff and you

8:12

know I'm just trying to think what it

8:14

sounds like is there anything it's not Gilligan's

8:16

Island cuz no it's not Hogan's Heroes it's

8:18

kind of like so you got you got

8:20

the rebels against them yeah you know who

8:22

are there but who are the Romans are

8:24

the baddies the Romans are the baddies yeah

8:26

and some characters and Robin

8:30

Hood or something they're like them you know and has it

8:32

gone to television or film yeah

8:34

there's both films and cartoons but I know

8:37

occasionally you'll see like a live-action one and

8:39

it's all in French on SBS but

8:42

they're mainly known as comic books that you would

8:44

get in the school library okay it's like you

8:46

know so it's not like a comic book but

8:48

it's like a comic yeah like tin tin very

8:50

similar to oh I see what you're saying that's

8:52

what you meant before yeah yeah I understand it

8:54

was tin tin asterisk and then lucky Luke was

8:56

another dumb question asterisk what does that mean yeah

8:58

I don't know is it what does it mean

9:00

that the actual thing the actual that asterisk symbol

9:03

what is the asterisk that's the starry one yes

9:05

the starry one it's not a hashtag hashtag is

9:07

different so it's the other one on the phone

9:09

so you don't we've all got an asterisk on

9:11

our phone yeah so but that is that

9:14

is that a friend hang on is that is that French

9:17

but there's nothing else Dolly Parton

9:19

Harry Potter no that's no that's

9:22

not it okay well yeah

9:24

I mean I'm a Lex I know I went

9:26

to Asterix theme party I knew you would have

9:28

so he's got a theme park

9:31

in Paris and it's like you know I

9:33

had to get where to get the bus out there or the

9:35

train actually and it took about an hour hmm and

9:37

it really is just a theme park for French

9:39

people it's not for international

9:42

tourists no one spoke English right it was great

9:44

so you go on different rides that were all

9:46

themed around Asterix and oblix and then at night

9:49

you go into like a around theater and have a

9:51

show where they do stunts and stuff and

9:53

they got a dog that runs out because there's

9:55

a dog in Asterix and oblix sounding like Universal

9:57

Studios yes and the guy dressed up as Asterix

9:59

and yeah guy as oblix yeah oh

10:01

great yeah well but your

10:04

kids wouldn't read it now I mean the younger

10:06

generation would not be aware of this yeah my

10:08

15:10

just wander around they got the car over there and

15:12

they go Yeah

15:17

No, they reckon it's really good Heard

15:19

because you know, they did that Charlie and the

15:21

Chocolate Factory one in in Scotland It was terrible

15:23

and became like memes and stuff. They reckon the

15:26

Harry Potter one is really good We should have

15:28

a somehow related museum Yeah,

15:34

but you what you do you put all

15:36

the things in this is great This is

15:38

TV show you put all the all

15:41

the things in a room, right? And then you

15:43

have to go and pick out and put them in the

15:45

pairs. Oh Game

15:49

a quick show you put him in their pairs

15:51

and go that works with that because of that

15:53

works with that This goes with this

15:55

goes with that goes with that look the TV

15:57

executives are now writing that down. They're gonna steal that

15:59

idea Susan It's a bit like that card game where

16:01

you turn the cards over and

16:03

then you turn them back and then they have some

16:06

around related. Anyway,

16:08

I reckon you've got a Harry Potter book

16:10

in you. I reckon you'd be a good

16:12

fantasy writer. No, I don't like

16:14

fantasy. Well, you just love it. No,

16:16

I love Harry Potter, but I only read one of the

16:18

books because I was reading to the kids and I've seen

16:20

all the movies. Oh, you're a good dad. But I don't

16:22

really like magic stuff. I don't like fantasy stuff. To me,

16:24

it's all bets are off. I don't like dragons. I know.

16:28

All bets are off. That's the thing that annoys me. I watch

16:30

Lord of the Rings, for example, they get stuck

16:32

in this thing with this cave and all of a sudden the

16:34

bigger thing comes through and knocks him over. Yeah, well, what's the

16:36

point? You know, I know. So it's

16:38

like those movies now, King Kong versus Godzilla. You

16:40

go, hang on. These worlds can't

16:42

mix. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I'm

16:45

just going to vacuum you. Someone

16:47

vacuum. He did come in a little while

16:49

ago and said, how long are you going to take? And

16:51

you said about half an hour, 40 minutes.

16:54

And I think he's a little annoyed with us. Okay.

16:58

I can hear it. I don't think it doesn't

17:00

matter. Look, people know we're recording in a pub

17:03

and there's all that's gone off and there's a

17:05

wake happening. So we've got to get out. There's

17:08

not one way. There's two wakes. One

17:10

in this room and one in the bar. There's two wakes.

17:13

I think you should stay around and sing a song.

17:15

I can have a wake off. Oh,

17:17

Daddy girl. Singing

17:19

Irish, you know, my pipes, my pipes are

17:22

calling. I was in a

17:24

pub once in Footscray and there was a way. Well, I didn't know. And

17:26

they all just started singing. That would be good

17:29

music. I went to

17:31

John Blackman's funeral. Yesterday

17:34

and it was beautiful. Now

17:37

I saw photos and you wearing a dicky

17:39

knee wig was inappropriate. And standing on the

17:42

top. Mr. Blackman. Mr.

17:44

Blackman. That was

17:46

really inappropriate. Darrell wasn't happy. There was no fair

17:48

enough. And especially when he started to do his

17:51

sermon and you pop up. Well,

17:53

he did. He spoke very well. And he did. He did all

17:55

the voices and it was a broad. He did you. I

17:58

could do them very well. It was an honor. be

18:00

there and we're going to sadly miss him. Look, you

18:02

know. Oh

18:05

no, it's sad. Yeah, very, very sad. But

18:08

it was, Wilbur Wilde was the host

18:10

and he did an incredible job. Of course. Is it

18:12

a host? What do you call it? No, not a

18:14

host. Yeah, he's like the, they actually called it a

18:16

wedding. I met a woman the other day who's a

18:18

funeral celebrant. Yeah. She described herself as. Yeah, but they

18:20

did pick a duck with the end, which I didn't

18:22

think was appropriate. And Ken

18:24

Morgan turned up and you ran a car. Pluck

18:27

it up, pluck it up. Anyway,

18:30

hang on. Have we said enough about Harry Potter? Yes, we

18:32

have. All right. Let's talk about Dolly Parton. Do

18:35

you know much about Dolly Parton? I love Dolly Parton. I don't know much about

18:37

her. This is embarrassing. Haven't seen Asterix,

18:39

haven't read it. Don't really

18:41

know much about Harry Potter. Dolly Parton, love

18:43

her. Don't get me wrong. Think she's fantastic.

18:45

Awesome. But I only know as much

18:48

as the average person in that she, is

18:50

she country? What is she, country? Oh, so

18:52

be careful. She's a country artist.

18:55

Is she a bit of a... Yeah,

18:58

no, she's country. Absolutely. There's

19:00

country in this country in Western. There's two

19:02

different things. Yeah, and there's like bluegrass and

19:05

there's maricama. All them things. I

19:07

love the way she looks and I love

19:09

the way she sounds. And

19:12

I have never met her, but I get a

19:14

really good energy from her because she sounds smart.

19:17

She sounds like she knows who she

19:20

is both offstage and onstage. And

19:22

she writes great lyrics. What's that great quote? She says,

19:24

it costs me a lot of money to look this

19:27

cheap. She says. She looks

19:29

fantastic. How old would she be? She'd

19:31

be 80 now, Dolly Parton. You

19:33

know who loves Dolly Parton myth

19:36

from Speaks and Specs fame? Oh,

19:38

the famous myth, her. If war

19:40

hurts. Yes. Whose brother did the

19:42

music that we use on this podcast.

19:44

Oh, exactly right. Yeah, kid. Well,

19:47

can we say any, can she, we can't say

19:49

anything because if she... She saw her. She always

19:52

knows stuff about stuff. She's like you when it

19:54

comes to music. Yeah, she would. I'm going to

19:56

say she would know more than you. She would

19:58

know more than me. And she actually went and

20:00

saw Dolly Parton, which I never did. So should

20:02

we call it? I've got a number give her

20:05

a call. Okay Calling

20:08

me She's famous.

20:11

Hello Dave. Oh me if it's

20:13

20:18

20:26

okay with that? Release

20:28

20:30

20:34

that if they're recording already. I mean if

20:37

20:45

I was back. Oh, yeah Yeah,

20:47

I remember waving to you through the glass

20:50

20:52

I've said to Dave and I've said it

20:54

on this podcast I have to thank you

20:57

20:59

the week. We watch reruns still do watch

21:01

21:07

expert Any

21:09

21:11

it all now and They

21:19

asked me back in the day to go on

21:21

and I just went I love the show But

21:23

I would just embarrass myself either doing something inappropriate

21:26

No, I would I would I'd have to load

21:28

some questions up or something Yeah, even now I

21:30

still don't get even though what's repeats. I still

21:32

don't get it I need to answer the quiz

21:34

Hamish doesn't know anything about music does he me

21:36

well Actually, he came on one of the new

21:38

shows that we've done and he answered about ten

21:41

questions And I was the one who was flailing

21:43

this time around. I don't know what changed. Oh,

21:45

maybe okay You don't really need to know though.

21:47

They'll look after you with questions If

21:50

you love like Let's think Fleetwood

21:52

Mac. They'll there'll be a question about Fleetwood

21:54

Mac that you'd be able to answer Glenn

22:00

They say they do look after you in

22:02

that respect. I don't know the answers, but

22:04

they look after you. Glenn's got great stories.

22:06

He sang with Sky Hooks dressed as Uncle

22:08

Arthur. I mean, that's a... Yeah, I've met

22:10

David Bowie of, you know... I've

22:12

done stuff in showbiz that's worth...

22:16

You're mentioning. I bored people on

22:18

this podcast with it. You probably don't need any other guests. Just

22:20

Glenn and a few empty chairs. Yeah, well, I locked the

22:22

ball the right way and I got it covered. Okay, well,

22:25

I'm waiting for the phone call now, Dan. Okay.

22:28

Well, you've missed this season, but next season I'm

22:30

going to say Glenn Robbins has got to be on. Yeah,

22:32

yeah, I know. Now, Miff, we're ringing

22:34

because we're talking about Dolly Parton. And

22:36

I remember you went and saw Dolly Parton,

22:39

didn't you? I did. She came to Australia. I'm

22:41

trying to remember because, you know, I'm

22:43

51 now and my memory is not as good as it used to be.

22:46

But I think it was around 2016 that she came to Australia.

22:52

And I saw her play at, I

22:54

think it was in Melbourne at the tennis centre there.

22:56

I'm not sure what name it goes under these days.

22:58

It always changes. Rod Lava. Yeah, I think

23:00

it was Rod Lava. Yeah. Yeah, and she

23:02

was awesome. She played all the

23:04

hits and she was wearing a trademark

23:06

pedal pusher pants. You know, the ones

23:09

that they've come back in fashion apparently

23:11

now and they're calling them capri pants. But

23:14

she wears the original pedal pushers with

23:16

the stitched waist and everything was bedazzled

23:18

and the wigs were in fine form.

23:22

She's got a wig for every different mood

23:24

and I just love her. How

23:26

many costume changes were there, you reckon?

23:29

I can't remember to be honest, but there would have

23:31

been a lot because she's got a lot of bedazzled

23:33

outfits that need an earring. And people

23:35

would be disappointed if she didn't bring out at

23:37

least 10. So I feel

23:39

like there was that kind of number because she's

23:41

also got her musical styles that she

23:44

goes through. You

23:46

know, the sort of the 60s style

23:48

and then she goes through that 70s,

23:50

early 80s disco style. They've got to

23:52

have different outfits and then she goes

23:54

into her bluegrass era. So that's a

23:57

different, you know, different outfit and a

23:59

different wig. A little

24:03

less high because you know she's famous for

24:05

the higher the hair, the closer the God.

24:08

That's her classic quote. And

24:11

why do you like it so much? What about Dolly? Do

24:13

you like? Oh look, I think because

24:15

I grew up in the country, up in the

24:17

middle of Dura, back in the late

24:19

70s, early 80s and there was no such thing as

24:22

the internet. So we didn't see much

24:24

about what was going on in the world but I

24:26

also grew up listening to a lot of country music

24:28

because that's all that was played on the radio. And

24:31

I think when Kenny and Dolly had a hit

24:33

with Islands in the Stream, that was it. I

24:36

was gone. I'd never seen anything quite so magical

24:38

I think because Kenny Rogers looked like Santa. And

24:42

so therefore I was immediately entranced. But then

24:44

there's this woman who's like the opposite of

24:46

any woman I'd seen ever. Big

24:49

hair, big boobs, jewels,

24:51

bedazzles and she

24:54

just seemed like

24:56

a Christmas decoration almost. That's what

24:58

I find really interesting about her

25:00

is that she is all those

25:03

things but she's absolutely authentic. The

25:05

way she writes songs and the way she

25:07

performs and her honesty with what she gives

25:10

to an audience. It's undeniable.

25:12

I've never met her but I feel as though I

25:14

know her. Would you agree

25:17

with that? Absolutely Glenn and this is the thing once

25:19

you get past all the shows and the costumes were

25:23

to get her to that point but

25:25

she was always herself and

25:27

she comes from a really good

25:30

place. She's incredibly smart and

25:32

she's a great philanthropist. She cares

25:34

for her community. She's an

25:36

extraordinary business woman. I mean there's no one

25:38

like her and she

25:41

almost sticks her fingers up to the

25:43

people who judged her in those early

25:45

days. She's sounding a bit like you

25:47

Miff. I'm

25:52

honoured if you say that. I

25:54

was going to say the only female performer

25:56

I can think that's similar is Taylor Swift

25:58

in a way and I know she's a

26:01

big fan. dollies so yeah wow yeah I

26:03

think Miley Cyrus is her god

26:05

daughter oh wow Miley's got you know they're

26:07

very close they did a New Year's Eve

26:10

show I think last year and so yeah

26:12

I feel like Miley's got a bit of

26:14

that you know no care attitude about what

26:16

people think because she she's coming from the

26:18

right place but you know it's such a

26:21

different era now there's so much more. What's

26:23

your favorite song? Oh there we go what's

26:25

your favorite song? It has to be because

26:27

you know

26:30

I mean that was the original and best

26:32

and the one that opened the door for

26:34

me but you know there's so many beautiful

26:36

songs that she's written over the years the

26:39

fact that she never sold I Will Always

26:41

Love You to Elvis because Elvis wanted half

26:43

the royalties and she said no I know

26:45

my songs worth more than

26:47

that. I didn't know that. That's amazing.

26:49

And she held off until Whitney Houston

26:51

covered it and I mean that one

26:54

that pretty much paid for all the

26:56

houses for the rest of their life

26:58

you know. It's an amazing song too.

27:00

It's an incredible song and she wrote

27:02

that in one day when she wrote

27:04

Jolene as well on the same day

27:07

so how's that for the output

27:09

I mean I'm lucky to get anything done in about

27:11

three weeks. It takes me a week to pay the

27:13

gas bill but anyway. I'd

27:16

love to think about it for a while. I

27:18

love the fact she's with the same man who

27:20

she met. Have you heard the story how they

27:22

met? This is one thing I know about Dolly

27:24

Parton. She was at the laundromat in

27:26

Nashville doing her laundry and she came outside to

27:28

get some air and the future husband

27:30

that he drove past in his what

27:33

is he's got like a bitumen business in his

27:35

truck. Oh that's right. And

27:37

he yelled out hey pretty lady and

27:39

then yeah they got married. How's it

27:41

all about? He's

27:43

harassing her on the streets of Nashville

27:45

now they've been together for 50 years.

27:47

It's like amazing. Oh my goodness

27:49

yeah I think what's his name? Carl. Yeah she's

27:52

been with Carl. No one ever sees him. I'd

27:54

say he's probably being kept alive these

27:56

days by you know an oxygen machine.

27:58

I'm not sure he's even for with

28:00

it. but it doesn't matter. They're the

28:02

most solid couple in showbiz. It's amazing.

28:05

Oh, thanks for talking to us. This

28:07

is what we needed, a bit of

28:09

Dolly Parton information. Because we haven't seen

28:11

Dolly Parton, but you've seen her. I've

28:13

seen her and look, it was amazing.

28:15

I don't think she's touring anymore, so

28:17

I was very lucky. She'll still do

28:19

the odd show here and there,

28:21

but she'll perform until

28:24

she's a centimeter from the round too.

28:26

So she's, because it's in her, it's

28:28

in her heart and soul and she

28:30

just has to. Can I wrap up?

28:32

You wrap it up, Glenn. Glenn's wrapping

28:34

it up. Thank you. And can I

28:36

just say that we will always love

28:38

you. I changed it from an I,

28:40

because I will always love you as

28:42

a song, isn't it? It's not creepy

28:44

at all. Oh, come on. Well, it

28:46

worked for Carl, didn't

28:48

it? So there you go. Yeah, yeah. And

28:50

I went wee. I didn't go on. You're

28:52

not yelling out of

28:55

a truck at Myth in Mildura. She's a

28:57

young lass. Oh, mate, that

28:59

would have been, I mean, I would have

29:01

gotten married if someone said that. Oh, hang

29:05

on. I was doing a Myrtleford the other night.

29:08

Oh God, I just remember this. And this

29:11

girl, Carmen said, oh, you're on Specs and Specs. I

29:13

went to school with Myth and she

29:15

went out of the hottest guy in high school. And

29:19

I wrote down his name. Hang on.

29:21

What was his name? You

29:24

remember, you remember in Dear Myth? Was that

29:27

the exchange student? Oh my God. I don't

29:29

know. Hang

29:34

on. Ward Dawson. Oh,

29:38

yeah, Ward. He

29:40

doesn't sound like he's from somewhere else. That's

29:43

amazing. Do you remember Ward? That's a

29:45

blast from the park. I remember

29:47

Ward. We had a beautiful

29:49

time. I can't remember what

29:52

happened. To be honest, he doesn't

29:54

really have a sexy name, but anyway, it's still...

29:56

Ward Dawson. I'm

29:58

pleased to count it now. Oh, there we go. What

30:01

a Dawson. That's really good. Wow, that's amazing. That's

30:03

amazing. What Dawson says. All right, not him, a

30:05

woman who went to school with you. I can't

30:07

remember her name, but she was very impressed that

30:09

you went out with Ward. So. Oh,

30:12

well, there you go. There you go. Well,

30:14

I'm high Ward, if you're listening. Yes,

30:16

I'm high Ward. And just quickly, where

30:18

do we hear Miff now? We see

30:20

you on specific. She's got a podcast.

30:22

Podcast. Radio. A podcast called Bang On.

30:25

Don't do any radio anymore. Bang

30:27

On's huge. And do the Bang On podcast. It's

30:29

great. Yeah, it's lots of fun. I do it

30:32

with Zanro and we do it once a week.

30:34

It's a pop culture. You know Zanro. Oh,

30:36

I love Zanro's show. Yeah, you love the

30:38

TV show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I now

30:40

will be downloading the podcast. Bang On. Yeah.

30:44

It's huge. Yay. I

30:46

love this. I love this. And

30:48

I love talking to you too. Thanks for having me on. No, it's

30:50

Miff. Because, you know, it's my, she's my, she, I love her. I adore her.

30:53

So, yay. Thanks, Miff. Bye.

30:56

Miff then. What's your on Speaks and

30:58

Specs too. Now, do we need thinking music or? Oh,

31:00

what about 9 to 5? Yes.

31:03

That's a great movie. We can't. I

31:05

say that I've never seen it. I like the

31:07

song. I like the song. Hooray. Something

31:09

you haven't seen on this podcast. You know, it is a bit of

31:11

a trick. So, we can't

31:14

play music. It's copyright. Yeah. What

31:16

we can do is we can play the trailer to 9 to 5. Let's

31:18

do it. Then we get a bit of Dolly talking.

31:20

We get a little bit of music. We get a little bit of vibe. So,

31:24

let's have Sam the trailer

31:26

to work 9 to 5. Thank

31:54

you. Oh

32:00

wow. There you go, you can feel the

32:02

energy jumping out of the speakers. Gonna watch it now. Now

32:04

what's your answer? So Harry Potter, Asterix,

32:07

Dolly Parton. I think I know, it's a weird, I

32:09

think I know. I reckon I know. Go. And

32:12

I didn't talk about it on the podcast itself.

32:15

Here's what I know about that Dolly Parton

32:17

does. She sends books to

32:20

people who need books as

32:22

a charity. People who, yeah. Oh wow. It's a

32:24

beautiful thing to do, isn't it? Is there anything

32:27

better than giving someone a book? Really?

32:30

Anyway, so I think I'm getting this right. Her

32:32

charity is to send books to people who

32:34

may struggle getting books. And

32:36

I'm gonna say the book she's most sent is.

32:39

Oh Harry Potter. An Asterix. Okay.

32:43

Falls down slightly. Yeah, with the Asterix, I think.

32:45

Yeah. Oh, okay. I know,

32:47

you know what it is. What

32:49

do you mean, do you know what it is? Well

32:52

this is a connection in that, Asterix has

32:54

a theme park where I went to. I

32:57

went to the Harry Potter theme park too. Dolly's

32:59

got Dolly World. Is that the connection? They're

33:02

all got theme parks. Oh, I'd say there's a

33:04

Dolly World. There's a Harry Potter World. There's Asterix.

33:07

Asterix World. Do you reckon

33:09

that's your answer? Oh, that's the answer. Do you

33:11

reckon that is? Well, let's get the answer. We

33:13

should have a certain type of answer where you

33:15

go, I'm going for gold on this. I

33:17

reckon I've got it. And if you get it,

33:19

maybe you get it, I don't know. Do I have to buy lunch or

33:21

something? Or do you reckon, see, mine's

33:23

a bit of a wishy-washy. Yours

33:26

is pretty solid. What is the answer,

33:28

Sam? Dave's right, they've all got theme

33:30

parks. You're gold-lifled. Whoa.

33:38

You have been listening to Somehow

33:40

Related with Glenn Robbins and Dave

33:42

O'Neill. Jeez,

33:52

I don't feel like I'm bringing much to this podcast. Oh, you're

33:54

bringing heaps. Really, because I

33:56

don't know anything about the topics. I don't know the

33:58

answer. You should do this

34:00

show by yourself. I'm writing that. I'll

34:03

try it now. Matt, you know what you do though? You just

34:05

do one topic. Yeah, hello. Because

34:07

welcome to could

34:10

be somehow related if we had two

34:12

topics. Yeah, and today, no, it'd

34:14

be too hard to be talking to yourself. You

34:16

can't even take calls. You know, you're pre-recording this

34:18

thing. Yeah, but you know, I'm just feeling bad

34:21

about my level of knowledge. People do podcasts by

34:23

themselves. Bill Burda's one by himself. He just talks.

34:25

You know what I find? They get a bit

34:27

ranty. Yeah, they do. What

34:29

else are they going to do? Because you need

34:31

to be picked up on things or put a

34:33

full stop there. Edit that

34:35

maybe. Yeah, and you know, because I think

34:37

what you do for this podcast is you

34:40

keep it really interesting. What I do is I

34:43

make it wander into weird areas that

34:45

perhaps other people haven't thought

34:47

about. I like to think that, you know, that

34:49

I bring value. But you know.

34:51

Are you wandering into one of those areas right now?

34:54

Well, you know, I could wander

34:57

in and do what some hair
