  Speaker 1: Time Barris bits mo money guys, a bit of a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: This could be a bit of a watershed moment for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: me on this show and in my own.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Life as well.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: I thought i'd sort of and it's been provoked a
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: bit by the FIFA World Cup as well, and who
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you support at the World Cup.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I'm a bit.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Confused as to this will sound so stupid, but I'm
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: a bit confused as to.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Who I actually am.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: He has heritage identity crisis.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always thought that, Well, you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Go for the Aussies first, right, Yeah, but when the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: soccers are out, you know Croati is playing at the moment,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: so there'll be no Croatians listening anyway, I'll be watching,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: so I could probably sort of get away with a bit.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: But then I'll tell you what provoked it. I'm thinking
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: about doing a TV show, you know that TV show.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Who do you think you are?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Thinking?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: My hand up for that, because remember Dennis Committee didn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: found out.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He was full italian Y.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the first time he really sort of
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: embraced his Italianism, if you can put it like that,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and went and visited all the committees in a little
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: village in Italy and a village of commedtees.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Just opening up a whole world to you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Have you ever done one of those spit test?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have confusing Yeah, there was a lot of Croatian,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: there's some German, some Italians. Some my mum's the skip
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: so there was a bit of that as well. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: what really brought it home to me was recently that
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Italian festival in Perth.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you went to Langley Park.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I knew of it and it's always a good festival.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they put they had Nana's house there, right, this
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: is noble, This sounds stupid, but Nana's house was there
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and they had recreated Nana's lounge room. And when I
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: stood in it, I was transported back to my childhood
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: because my family had a lot of my families had
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a lounge room like that, complete with the plastic on
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the furniture, good furniture.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: And lots of concrete out the front of the house.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: And lines.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It was the lound room that did it for me,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: because I think it was the plastic on, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: because you never used the loundroom only for special occasions,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: which has hardly ever happened. He never even went in
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: there he lived in the kitchen right, And this is
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: my uncle and auntie Auntie Netta and uncle Pietro Peter.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: There was at Langley Park. It was the last supper
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: on the wall. Yes, the painting, so that brought because
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: everyone had one of those. In the Italian families, there's
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a rotary phone and lots of doilies everywhere.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, I started to question.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Whether you know how much of my Croatian how much
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: of my Italian? And my wife thinks that I want
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to be Italian. And I've hung out of the Italian
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Cup a bit with Reda Safioti and some of those people,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and I absolutely love my I can relate to them,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and it's.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: A bit of everything in there. Yeah, it's I guess
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: it's just which one do you grab the most?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And is it important? At times like the World Cup?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It probably is important. I mean, I'm friends with Joe Avardi,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the Italian Australian comedian. I say friends, you know, I'm
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: an admire of his And he was explaining a lot
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: about it too, to me, about and to a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of people about growing up with an ethnic dad, like
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and it happened to me too. You go to your
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: dad and you go, hey, Dad, I want to have
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a sleepover. What's wrong with your bed? What's happened? No,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: nothing that I just want to say, what for? What's
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: wrong with your room?
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: School camp?

• 3:33
  Speaker 6: It's going to rain, you know, like food, like your lunch.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: For school would have been restlessly.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: But mum, so the rest of us trying to swap
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: your salami sandwich.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, trying to bring home your
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: your girlfriend. She's not a skip, is she? But then,
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: but then your mother was a skip, so that's okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The food was funny.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You're right about the food that because the Italians they're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: huge into their food.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And I remember going to my uncle's.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Garage and they always have a fridge in the garage
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and on a hot day and you go in there
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Thought I'd struck gold. There's all these ice.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Cream containers, Neapolitan ice cream, blah blah blah. Pulled one out,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: open up tomatoes, tomatoes, tomato sauce. And I think it
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: really came home to me when I was helping my
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: uncle Peter.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I used to Pietro, but now it was Peter.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And when he came to Australia, actually barras we added
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: a h as well, so the skips could say.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: He's had a Barrick and all that sort of stuff.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And anyway, he wanted to get a service for
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: his hr hold and he loved his car, and he
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: goes get the teledex, find the mechanic, get the number
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: for the mechanic, and the tellerdecks.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Remember the teledexes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So I go to M for mechanic. Nothing mechanical, see
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: for car nothing there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: A for auto. Uncle Peter, what letter for the mechanic
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: under he goes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: F F Yeah, F for fixing the car.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Of course, of course, did you ever read that book
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: They're a Weird Mob explained the whole cultural clash.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So I think I've got you know.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So I'm such an admirer of the immigrant story, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know what people did in the generation that built
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: something from nothing when they came here and looking through.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The Australian dream.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: So I think my dadd came in nineteen fifty from Germany,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: actually was born in Rome, and so all that, with
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: all those boundaries and you know borders after the war,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: No I knew exactly where you're from.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Who are going to go for?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: That's a big question in conclusion.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Given that Italy is out, I'm going for Croatia. Well, Australia, Australia.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You never know Australia. If Australia plays Croatia then I'm really.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: What's going to happen?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: What would Dad do?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Barah?
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: Yes, there's been a bit of a dog fight this
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: week regarding the Bulldog's mascot Sunny.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: She's a British bulldog of course.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: She actually is the younger sister of their former mascot Caesar,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: and took over officially last year when Caesar retired.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And she's beautiful little dog too. She is a kiss
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and what have they tried to ban her?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Have they no dogs on the ground?
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Marvel Stadium said, Sonny can't come onto the grass pre game.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: What do they think she's She's having a Wii or something?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Want to get a doggie bag?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So thirty six blokes in footy boots are apparently no
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: thread at all or what I mean compared to Sonny.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I mean she rolls over.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Have you seen she rolls over in her back and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: asks for Belly's. Well, oh, okay, so I'm amazed because
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the Eagles are still they can still have a bald
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: eagle flying.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: Around their stadium. They've got no problem with that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: God knows what he can drop on the ground from
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: up there.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Well they did reverse the band toot sweet because there
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: was an absolute outcry from the fans.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: It not just bulldog fans, just football fans.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I reckon, that tells you something about Australia. And you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: people power really.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Unites, you know, behind our dogs.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You threaten a.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Dog could unite Australia against you, you know what I mean?
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Like a pretty good at telling people to stick their rules.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Up there, we see a beautiful dog and it's obviously
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: someone who made the decision never owned a dog, right
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: because the rest of us just want to pat the dog.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And they see a four legged turf vandle get him off,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Get him off, he's going to we on.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: That doesn't look like a V. I think that dog
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: looks like it's got the energy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Must have been a cat person who made the cat
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: person who made.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: For sure, someone at Geelong, you think.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Because they do play a really good role. The Dockers
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: have a wellbeing dog dog. Winnie's a godle. Do you
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: know what a good golden Retriever poodle? American friends said,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that's called a golden doodle.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's not going to work in Australia. I'm pretty sure.
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: For a period of just you know, cross and everything,
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: so you could call it a doodle.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: We're really grown up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: No barrel, we don't on the phone.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: On one of the Facebook comments after the band was
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: announced and then reversed was regarding Ossie the Eagle. Someone said,
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: Ossie doesn't fly anymore before our home games because apparently
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Optus won't let her train.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: There is that true?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard that. No, you might have broken some
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: news there.
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: This was a comment from someone on the on the
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: Facebook comments in regard to Sonny.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So she just gets rolled out Ossie the Eagle, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't get to fly, right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: She did take off one day, didn't she.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, She's like, I'm off jack of this.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gone near the hot chips. I think.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the smell of chips can drive you mad. There's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that. So I thought they thought Sonny
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: was a threat to the turf. I mean, that's like saying,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: what Bluey's too edgy for children's television or something like that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Don't you reckon?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: You could be an adult.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Only leave the bloody dog alone. I think Australia voted
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in the end.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Anyway, we will check that out about the angle sunny Stays.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: She's back on sunny Stays. We love dogs, not.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Like she's lifting her leg against Marcus Bond and Pelly
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: or something.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Would even mine.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Or you don't, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you do it when
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: you do it against an opposition?
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Exactly to Nick, exactly, good dog, good dog, your target
