Speaker 1 (00:05):
Let's talk about this one because a girlfriend has been
in absolute tears after the boyfriend her dream man finally
proposed with what she described as a hideous ring. It's
like an emerald. Do you call that an emerald? Don't you?
Says the green Emerald. She wanted an emerald type ring,
(00:26):
but when she received this one, she thought it looked
too big, which was cheap, and she wasn't happy with
it at all.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You know my thoughts on this.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Not only that she slid it onto her finger and
then was unable to get it off right. Lives out
of town, had to drive half house in the hospital
to get the ring cut off. Shows a picture again,
you'll see it this.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's like she's out of the labyrinth.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I mean, that's that's huge.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Women don't generally say no to very large rings.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, that's what I would have thought.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Emeralds are very fashionable.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
In Don't you need to put a few diamonds around
the emeralds one side?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
What do they call those? Again?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You put tiny ones on there, and it actually brings
out the green more Sarah, when it hits it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The reflection of the diamond on the Who do you
worked in a jewelry store.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
See BJ's got to Sapphire famous Princess Diana's ring and
she has tiny little diamonds all the way around.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The apisode that enhanced that, it does? I love that? Yes,
that would make sense. I just feel that there's so
much pressure on the ring and through an emotional journey
myself having given my wife what I thought was the
ultimate engagement ring for the rest of our lives together,
that signified the strength of our union and the beautiful
romance that we share between each other, for her to
(01:45):
then go and change it, not that I'm taking this
chance to get anything off my chest to it, for
her to then go and change it and say I
want something more like Sarah's. That's vintage. Is that what
she said? Like Sarah, you know I liked vintage wonderfully.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You kept looking at my ring.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Vintage is the big one at the moment, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
But see this is that I told you right as fellas,
we don't know what you want. We've got no idea
what you want, and we can go ring shopping and
you go, oh, I really like that.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I really like that clarity.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I want the Emerald car.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But then I still don't know what you want. Im
so my.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Advice for any fella out there. And there's there's another
element to this. You buy them a cheap ring or
a plastic ring. You propose everyone had tears, you ring,
the family's emotional. Then you give them the credit card
and you leave it up to them to go and
buy the Really, there's a limit on the credit card
so they can't go over that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Make yourself happy, no, but then you leave the ball
in their court mate. Yeah, if you weren't happy with
engagement ring, or if you're a guard listening and you
were devastated by the feedback, you got my personal thoughts.
If you're a woman in a relationship and there's a
proposal at play and someone is handing you their heart
(02:59):
for the rest of your life, you're not in a
position to comment.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Can I say there's an element said, I know his personality,
there's an element of whipper over Lisa, just to say
that that's a bit of my ring as well.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I picked it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, I picked her.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's mine, You've made money, you.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Made it about you and SERTs an ego bruise that
she didn't like to You're like, I know women and
I know what she know what she will love this ring,
come hell or hy.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What upsets me is a woman will put the ring
on her finger and she pictures herself out socially and
how her ring will compete or present in a group
of other women with a circle of rings.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I disagree entyly having done it. The mirk of the
ring that never crossed my mind. The thing that is
different is that rings look funny on different hands. So
I for Gary had said, he said, give me some guidance,
and I was like, maybe this style, but I don't know.
It looked ridiculous because I have such short fingers, so.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
The style just looked rubbish. So that was where were
You should still be happy about what he chose for you,
instead of being concerned about your stumpy fingers.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, you go and choose it together, like fit said.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What ring is going to look good on a short sausage?
Looks lovely? Thank you?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
You know, the only person that knows mate is Sarah
and Lisa and Lisa, not you, not you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You'd have no idea.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
At least it doesn't know. The original was beautiful, all right?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Thirteen twenty fourteen. Is it wrong to dislike your engagement ring.
Can you should just be happy with just be happy?
I mean, Jessee, you happy with yours?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah? I like mine so much, so this is something
you can't do, sir.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
But I had to buy my wife or my then
girlfriend'ngagement ring.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We liked it so much we went back to the
same store bought a replica, so we were matching.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I love that downside. No two for one discount.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Always worth a shot though it it fits in with us.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I love getting this man in.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I mean he was coming in quite a bit for
Celebrity Apprentice with whips the Magnificent rus.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's lovely to see your faces, human face.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's good to have you in here, to smell you
and to touch you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Can we also talk about what I lie to you?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Because you did the Australian version with Christy and we
know how is over in the UK as well. Make
can we focus on this sand castle that you built
with Rod Stewart on a beach in France.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What did you do? How did that come about?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, it's like even after I said that was true,
they still were late.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Really yeah it was. It was a genuousness.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I was on a beach right as I am I
was on a beach in this half of France, and
so they've got all these like, well what it is, right,
I do this thing where I'll sometimes see somebody in
the distance that and like that isn't the celebrity, and
I'll pretend so my way for a.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Bit of a laugh.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
So I saw this fella coming down the beach like
and he was just like this old man. Yeah, this
sort of old fella, but he had sort of tied
blonde hair. So I start my joke that he comes.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
With his joke and I go, now, now it's Ro.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
And I'm thinking she's going to turn round seeing old
man with blonde hair and go it's just no man
with blonde hair. Anyway, she turns on it is Rod,
and she turns around and looks straight at him and
goes bright red.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And he got off.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
There was there was like a you know, it's big
yachts that they had them super so he's coming on
a little launch right. It was like exactly, that's the
only reason he does it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He hits, he.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Hits the water and he goes, you know, it's my
brand I've got. It's like whenever you visit the mull
of Kin tire, there's old there's.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
All Macartney with his bag pipes come.
Speaker 5 (06:52):

he's storming the beat like like a like a rocker
and a pension rocket like oh my, he comes up
to be saving private Ryan style doddering up there anyway,
So he sits on the table opposite s and this
restaurant it's got its own private beach. So we finish
our food and then we go down and I start
(07:13):
building a sand and when I build a sand castle
like me at one point, and I didn't get it,
didn't tell us on the TV they have the the
you know the guys with the sort of the ice
cream cart with the big sand wheels on it. My
sand castle was so big that the guy could no
(07:33):
longer get beach access through the property built. So at
one point he's like, well, hama gonna. So I had
to help him wait until the waves went out, and
then pushing the seat and the round and so so
digging away. And then Rod stewartt like his kids came
over and just started joining in, and and his wife
(07:54):
Penny Penny woman said all right, if the kids join
in with the sand castle of course he's get involved.
So now and we're building several walls and there's torrets
and bats and and then sure enough, like Rod, who
is like fastest because he's an old all he wants
to do, he just wants to He wants to lie
there sleeping, thinking about all of the women in his life,
(08:17):
you know, and when his hips worked, you know, Yeah,
that's what he wants to think about. And anyway he gets,
he gets the nudge.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Go on and play with the kids. And you can
see it. Oh no, you could hear his hips.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I've been on tour for the last thirty years. I
just want I just want to lie down. Why did
I have such young children? And anyway, so he gets
and he starts building, and he gets so into it,
like they do this. We come on, get around here
really and we're digging away and we're going for it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And then I want.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I stopped and I literally turned around and went, have
you noticed anything Rot? And he went, no, what, I went,
The kids aren't with us anywhere? And the kids had
literally his kids have gone off to play football. My
kids were doing some beach or whatever. And Rod and
I but there was a moment and this was the
beautiful thing, right. It's the fact that it went, oh yeah,

Speaker 1 (11:28):

Speaker 4 (11:33):
And once again, once again, love your ross, thanks for
coming in. How's this unbelievable forty nine years of age?
Felix gred Harson, I mean you were he's from Iceland.
You would go the great Arslan line. You have to
the entire time. Well, Felix, he was an electrician. Back
(11:53):
in ninety ninety eight, he went out with the aim
of fixing an electrical line that served five hundred homes
in the local area. However, there was confusion as to
what part of the line needed fixing, which led Great
Arson touching the wrong wire. He subsequently electrocuted himself and
plummeted thirty two feet to the ground.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Recalling the incident, Great Arson said, I didn't remember until
years after, but I fell down.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I remember.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The only thing I felt was pain in my belly
and confusion. He said, with a trauma like this, the
body shuts off. I had no feeling of burning arms
and broke it and he broke his back. He was
just in complete shock. His arms were set on fire
during the incident, and his colleagues rushed over nearby nearby
Rivet to put out the flames. The last thing he
(12:44):
remembers were the kind words of a colleague who was
trying to keep him calm as they tried to douse
out out the flames. Fortunately for him, he lost his arms,
both arms from the shoulders down.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Wow, sort of blew them off, for he crushed them
or he.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Just well, they just had to amputated. Ass were gone.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
That no, not bad arms and it was it was
great Arson, that's his name, was his name, and unfortunately
his arms were gone. Now for years after that, unfortunately
he became addicted to painkillers. Right, I completely changed his
life and lost his wife, lost him. The thing is,
(13:26):
he got his life back on track and he heard
the advancements in technology and in health these days, and
he heard that there were procedures that might could be
done where you could replace an arm.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now, this is a huge I don't need it's ever
been done before.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Transportcy what he needed.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
He needed an arm and a shoulder, but he needed
two of them, never been done before. He found a
doctor who said, I might be able to do it,
but I'm not one hundred percent sure, so I can't
go ahead with this.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
For years and years he's begged this guy.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And if they have just recently completed the first ever
double arm and double shouldered.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Transfer, it is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where do they get the arms from?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You would have to wait for the arms obviously of
a car crash for.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
What are you waiting for? A blood match? Is that
all it needs?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not like an organ, is it?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I guess maybe it is? You need a blood match.
I would think says, but you also need arms, the
actual physical arms. No.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, but if someone passes away doesn't mean that organs
can be used, does it. So I guess an arm
might the same.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
He moved halfway around the world just to be in
chance of having this surgery and begging this one surgeon.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Finally he got it. Fifteen hours it took for surgery.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And it's been six months later. He is slowly starting
to move the arms. As you can see there down
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He actually is on the barbecue.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well, yeah, he's on the barbecue.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
He's having to win, but he's got like a sling
there that he has to show a hold them up
a bit and hold them up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But his dream is all he wants to do. He's
got a new wife, new kids. He wants to be
able to hug.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Them and not them, just hug him.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wouldn't go near the barbecue after that accident you had,
would you know?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
You would have what's the what's the first thing you
do with your new arms besides hugging you?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Flick you the bird?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Sometimes you just know, guys, You know, at the start
of a relationship, when you're trying to work out whether
there's anything special there. Researchers come in and said the
number one impact for men to impress a woman is
to tell a little joke. Girls like a laugh. Apparently,
we want to know the moment the tipped you over,
the one where you thought there might be something special here.
Donna and black Park tell us about the moment.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Oh, the moment was? And when going back to nineteen
eighty seven from the Chinese restaurant at Penarance, I was
on Ashley another date for Valentine's Day, but it's something
with Dave just blew me away. And that was the instant,
you know, chemistry that did he feeling in your guts,
You just know, you just know, and it's been thirty
(16:09):
six years now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And you could feel it in your guts over a
couple of pork buns.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Was it wasn't the sweet and sour pork or the
MSG that you had in your system at the time.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Donna or I don't think so. But it did get
a little bit of salty.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh beautiful? Was he a saucy?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Was he funny?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Donna?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yes? He was? Yes, you want especially after giving me
that win, you check your bagon. I was already with them.
Speaker 1 (16:32):

Say, tushy. Okay, he's got a good tushyn on the
on the night.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I've frently got a tushy too, but yeah, that's definitely.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
How did you? How did you? How'd you flick the
other guy and start making out with this one?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Well? I actually said, look, I've got a phone call.
Mom's gonna have Moms just said I've got to get
home notice and early so and in the meanwhile, he's
give me the wing. I'll pretend to go to the
toiler and drop me a phone number.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
And yeah, from that day do great, great move, Donna.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Hey, Donna, has he been faithful the whole time? Or
is he has his eyes wandered?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Akay, my eyes did wonder? J Never Like you said,
if you've had the best, they get the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh wow, Donna, is he so true?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Darling? You know, communication and respect is everything. M just
to have that chemistry in your belly, you just.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Is he gonna kiss her?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Donna's gone, mate, She's she's Stephanie and you're going And
what was the moment you realized you were the one?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Steff?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Guys, it was actually we're at a party at a
friend's place, or just a dinner really, and he had
his hands already. I was really interested, but he had
his hands on his head and he was doing you
know that thing with your muscles you flexed your arm.
I was like done, and that was.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It was the biceps step.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
You'll love it to this day.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's not a bad move.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Imagine if you'd worn a long sleeve shirt and you
didn't see the biceps in that moment.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Steph would where we'd be.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Exactly okay, biceps.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I think what was Donna was the Chinese restaurant in
pen reports.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Sarah in West Ryde. What was the moment for you, sir?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
At the bar before the date?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
It kind of started? He said, oh, I'm really sorry,
but at some point during tonight, it's my friend's birthday
and I really need to give him a phone call.
And I was so godsmacked that he picked up the
phone and called his friend and said happy birthday instead
of shooting him at.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Text, and that was it what you just thought. It
was thoughtful that he rang instead of sending a text.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Yeah, he could have just sent a text and sidebar him,
but Nus gave him a nice little quick phone call,
and I was just in all.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I'm not going to say you're easily impressed, but I
think I just did. Vincient Whipper Show is a Nova podcast.

Let's talk about this one because a girlfriend has been
in absolute tears after the boyfriend her dream man finally
proposed with what she described as a hideous ring. It's
like an emerald. Do you call that an emerald? Don't you?
Says the green Emerald. She wanted an emerald type ring,
(00:26):
but when she received this one, she thought it looked
too big, which was cheap, and she wasn't happy with
it at all.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You know my thoughts on this.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Not only that she slid it onto her finger and
then was unable to get it off right. Lives out
of town, had to drive half house in the hospital
to get the ring cut off. Shows a picture again,
you'll see it this.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's like she's out of the labyrinth.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I mean, that's that's huge.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Women don't generally say no to very large rings.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, that's what I would have thought.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Emeralds are very fashionable.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
In Don't you need to put a few diamonds around
the emeralds one side?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
What do they call those? Again?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You put tiny ones on there, and it actually brings
out the green more Sarah, when it hits it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The reflection of the diamond on the Who do you
worked in a jewelry store.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
See BJ's got to Sapphire famous Princess Diana's ring and
she has tiny little diamonds all the way around.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The apisode that enhanced that, it does? I love that? Yes,
that would make sense. I just feel that there's so
much pressure on the ring and through an emotional journey
myself having given my wife what I thought was the
ultimate engagement ring for the rest of our lives together,
that signified the strength of our union and the beautiful
romance that we share between each other, for her to
(01:45):
then go and change it, not that I'm taking this
chance to get anything off my chest to it, for
her to then go and change it and say I
want something more like Sarah's. That's vintage. Is that what
she said? Like Sarah, you know I liked vintage wonderfully.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You kept looking at my ring.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Vintage is the big one at the moment, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
But see this is that I told you right as fellas,
we don't know what you want. We've got no idea
what you want, and we can go ring shopping and
you go, oh, I really like that.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I really like that clarity.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I want the Emerald car.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But then I still don't know what you want. Im
so my.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Advice for any fella out there. And there's there's another
element to this. You buy them a cheap ring or
a plastic ring. You propose everyone had tears, you ring,
the family's emotional. Then you give them the credit card
and you leave it up to them to go and
buy the Really, there's a limit on the credit card
so they can't go over that.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Make yourself happy, no, but then you leave the ball
in their court mate. Yeah, if you weren't happy with
engagement ring, or if you're a guard listening and you
were devastated by the feedback, you got my personal thoughts.
If you're a woman in a relationship and there's a
proposal at play and someone is handing you their heart
(02:59):
for the rest of your life, you're not in a
position to comment.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Can I say there's an element said, I know his personality,
there's an element of whipper over Lisa, just to say
that that's a bit of my ring as well.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I picked it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, I picked her.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's mine, You've made money, you.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Made it about you and SERTs an ego bruise that
she didn't like to You're like, I know women and
I know what she know what she will love this ring,
come hell or hy.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
What upsets me is a woman will put the ring
on her finger and she pictures herself out socially and
how her ring will compete or present in a group
of other women with a circle of rings.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I disagree entyly having done it. The mirk of the
ring that never crossed my mind. The thing that is
different is that rings look funny on different hands. So
I for Gary had said, he said, give me some guidance,
and I was like, maybe this style, but I don't know.
It looked ridiculous because I have such short fingers, so.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
The style just looked rubbish. So that was where were
You should still be happy about what he chose for you,
instead of being concerned about your stumpy fingers.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, you go and choose it together, like fit said.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What ring is going to look good on a short sausage?
Looks lovely? Thank you?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
You know, the only person that knows mate is Sarah
and Lisa and Lisa, not you, not you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You'd have no idea.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
At least it doesn't know. The original was beautiful, all right?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Thirteen twenty fourteen. Is it wrong to dislike your engagement ring.
Can you should just be happy with just be happy?
I mean, Jessee, you happy with yours?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah? I like mine so much, so this is something
you can't do, sir.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
But I had to buy my wife or my then
girlfriend'ngagement ring.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We liked it so much we went back to the
same store bought a replica, so we were matching.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I love that downside. No two for one discount.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Always worth a shot though it it fits in with us.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I love getting this man in.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I mean he was coming in quite a bit for
Celebrity Apprentice with whips the Magnificent rus.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's lovely to see your faces, human face.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's good to have you in here, to smell you
and to touch you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Can we also talk about what I lie to you?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Because you did the Australian version with Christy and we
know how is over in the UK as well. Make
can we focus on this sand castle that you built
with Rod Stewart on a beach in France.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What did you do? How did that come about?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, it's like even after I said that was true,
they still were late.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Really yeah it was. It was a genuousness.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I was on a beach right as I am I
was on a beach in this half of France, and
so they've got all these like, well what it is, right,
I do this thing where I'll sometimes see somebody in
the distance that and like that isn't the celebrity, and
I'll pretend so my way for a.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Bit of a laugh.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
So I saw this fella coming down the beach like
and he was just like this old man. Yeah, this
sort of old fella, but he had sort of tied
blonde hair. So I start my joke that he comes.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
With his joke and I go, now, now it's Ro.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
And I'm thinking she's going to turn round seeing old
man with blonde hair and go it's just no man
with blonde hair. Anyway, she turns on it is Rod,
and she turns around and looks straight at him and
goes bright red.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And he got off.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
There was there was like a you know, it's big
yachts that they had them super so he's coming on
a little launch right. It was like exactly, that's the
only reason he does it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He hits, he.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Hits the water and he goes, you know, it's my
brand I've got. It's like whenever you visit the mull
of Kin tire, there's old there's.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
All Macartney with his bag pipes come.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
On and so he said, so we come like you know,
he's storming the beat like like a like a rocker
and a pension rocket like oh my, he comes up
to be saving private Ryan style doddering up there anyway,
So he sits on the table opposite s and this
restaurant it's got its own private beach. So we finish
our food and then we go down and I start
(07:13):
building a sand and when I build a sand castle
like me at one point, and I didn't get it,
didn't tell us on the TV they have the the
you know the guys with the sort of the ice
cream cart with the big sand wheels on it. My
sand castle was so big that the guy could no
(07:33):
longer get beach access through the property built. So at
one point he's like, well, hama gonna. So I had
to help him wait until the waves went out, and
then pushing the seat and the round and so so
digging away. And then Rod stewartt like his kids came
over and just started joining in, and and his wife
(07:54):
Penny Penny woman said all right, if the kids join
in with the sand castle of course he's get involved.
So now and we're building several walls and there's torrets
and bats and and then sure enough, like Rod, who
is like fastest because he's an old all he wants
to do, he just wants to He wants to lie
there sleeping, thinking about all of the women in his life,
(08:17):
you know, and when his hips worked, you know, Yeah,
that's what he wants to think about. And anyway he gets,
he gets the nudge.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Go on and play with the kids. And you can
see it. Oh no, you could hear his hips.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I've been on tour for the last thirty years. I
just want I just want to lie down. Why did
I have such young children? And anyway, so he gets
and he starts building, and he gets so into it,
like they do this. We come on, get around here
really and we're digging away and we're going for it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And then I want.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I stopped and I literally turned around and went, have
you noticed anything Rot? And he went, no, what, I went,
The kids aren't with us anywhere? And the kids had
literally his kids have gone off to play football. My
kids were doing some beach or whatever. And Rod and
I but there was a moment and this was the
beautiful thing, right. It's the fact that it went, oh yeah,
(09:12):

to So there wasn't there wasn't like a bit well
let's let's go.
Speaker 2 (09:20):

I went to see a comedian and afterwards went backstage
and we were chatting to it and I was We're

people in the dressing room and there was like out
of the corner of my eye, I see like a

I thought it was a character.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
There was literally, but you know, all I saw, my
peripheral vision doesn't recognized us, Like wow, my peripheral vision thinks.
And then I've had a look that would have helped
her across the road.

Cooking exactly fricing gets a kit cut.
Speaker 2 (11:23):

Anyway, I'd like to officially see it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I am sure be punch.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
And once again, once again, love your ross, thanks for
coming in. How's this unbelievable forty nine years of age?
Felix gred Harson, I mean you were he's from Iceland.
You would go the great Arslan line. You have to
the entire time. Well, Felix, he was an electrician. Back
(11:53):
in ninety ninety eight, he went out with the aim
of fixing an electrical line that served five hundred homes
in the local area. However, there was confusion as to
what part of the line needed fixing, which led Great
Arson touching the wrong wire. He subsequently electrocuted himself and
plummeted thirty two feet to the ground.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Recalling the incident, Great Arson said, I didn't remember until
years after, but I fell down.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I remember.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The only thing I felt was pain in my belly
and confusion. He said, with a trauma like this, the
body shuts off. I had no feeling of burning arms
and broke it and he broke his back. He was
just in complete shock. His arms were set on fire
during the incident, and his colleagues rushed over nearby nearby
Rivet to put out the flames. The last thing he
(12:44):
remembers were the kind words of a colleague who was
trying to keep him calm as they tried to douse
out out the flames. Fortunately for him, he lost his arms,
both arms from the shoulders down.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Wow, sort of blew them off, for he crushed them
or he.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Just well, they just had to amputated. Ass were gone.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
That no, not bad arms and it was it was
great Arson, that's his name, was his name, and unfortunately
his arms were gone. Now for years after that, unfortunately
he became addicted to painkillers. Right, I completely changed his
life and lost his wife, lost him. The thing is,
(13:26):
he got his life back on track and he heard
the advancements in technology and in health these days, and
he heard that there were procedures that might could be
done where you could replace an arm.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now, this is a huge I don't need it's ever
been done before.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Transportcy what he needed.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
He needed an arm and a shoulder, but he needed
two of them, never been done before. He found a
doctor who said, I might be able to do it,
but I'm not one hundred percent sure, so I can't
go ahead with this.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
For years and years he's begged this guy.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And if they have just recently completed the first ever
double arm and double shouldered.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Transfer, it is amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where do they get the arms from?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You would have to wait for the arms obviously of
a car crash for.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
What are you waiting for? A blood match? Is that
all it needs?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not like an organ, is it?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I guess maybe it is? You need a blood match.
I would think says, but you also need arms, the
actual physical arms. No.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No, but if someone passes away doesn't mean that organs
can be used, does it. So I guess an arm
might the same.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
He moved halfway around the world just to be in
chance of having this surgery and begging this one surgeon.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Finally he got it. Fifteen hours it took for surgery.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And it's been six months later. He is slowly starting
to move the arms. As you can see there down
the bottom.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He actually is on the barbecue.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well, yeah, he's on the barbecue.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
He's having to win, but he's got like a sling
there that he has to show a hold them up
a bit and hold them up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But his dream is all he wants to do. He's
got a new wife, new kids. He wants to be
able to hug.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Them and not them, just hug him.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Wouldn't go near the barbecue after that accident you had,
would you know?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
You would have what's the what's the first thing you
do with your new arms besides hugging you?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Flick you the bird?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Sometimes you just know, guys, You know, at the start
of a relationship, when you're trying to work out whether
there's anything special there. Researchers come in and said the
number one impact for men to impress a woman is
to tell a little joke. Girls like a laugh. Apparently,
we want to know the moment the tipped you over,
the one where you thought there might be something special here.
Donna and black Park tell us about the moment.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Oh, the moment was? And when going back to nineteen
eighty seven from the Chinese restaurant at Penarance, I was
on Ashley another date for Valentine's Day, but it's something
with Dave just blew me away. And that was the instant,
you know, chemistry that did he feeling in your guts,
You just know, you just know, and it's been thirty
(16:09):
six years now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And you could feel it in your guts over a
couple of pork buns.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Was it wasn't the sweet and sour pork or the
MSG that you had in your system at the time.
Speaker 6 (16:17):

a little bit of salty.

on the night.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I've frently got a tushy too, but yeah, that's definitely.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
How did you? How did you? How'd you flick the
other guy and start making out with this one?
Speaker 6 (17:01):

Mom's gonna have Moms just said I've got to get
home notice and early so and in the meanwhile, he's
give me the wing. I'll pretend to go to the
toiler and drop me a phone number.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
And yeah, from that day do great, great move, Donna.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Hey, Donna, has he been faithful the whole time? Or
is he has his eyes wandered?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Akay, my eyes did wonder? J Never Like you said,
if you've had the best, they get the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh wow, Donna, is he so true?
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Darling? You know, communication and respect is everything. M just
to have that chemistry in your belly, you just.
Speaker 1 (17:45):

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Donna's gone, mate, She's she's Stephanie and you're going And
what was the moment you realized you were the one?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Steff?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Guys, it was actually we're at a party at a
friend's place, or just a dinner really, and he had
his hands already. I was really interested, but he had
his hands on his head and he was doing you
know that thing with your muscles you flexed your arm.
I was like done, and that was.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It was the biceps step.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
You'll love it to this day.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's not a bad move.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Imagine if you'd worn a long sleeve shirt and you
didn't see the biceps in that moment.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Steph would where we'd be.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Exactly okay, biceps.
Speaker 4 (18:31):

Sarah in West Ryde. What was the moment for you, sir?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
At the bar before the date?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
It kind of started? He said, oh, I'm really sorry,
but at some point during tonight, it's my friend's birthday
and I really need to give him a phone call.
And I was so godsmacked that he picked up the
phone and called his friend and said happy birthday instead
of shooting him at.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Text, and that was it what you just thought. It
was thoughtful that he rang instead of sending a text.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Yeah, he could have just sent a text and sidebar him,
but Nus gave him a nice little quick phone call,
and I was just in all.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I'm not going to say you're easily impressed, but I
think I just did. Vincient Whipper Show is a Nova podcast.
