Young Minds, Big Ideas: A Conversation with Oscar
At what age do innovative ideas begin? In this eye-opening conversation with 11-year-old Oscar, we discover a mind brimming with entrepreneurial concepts and thoughtful observations that challenge our assumptions about young thinkers.
Oscar articulates one of childhood's most frustrating dilemmas – being caught between stages. Too mature for children's activities yet still classified as "one of the really young kids," he describes the frustration of waiting for age-based privileges when mentally ready for more. His perspective offers parents and educators valuable insight into this overlooked developmental stage.
What truly astonishes throughout our chat is Oscar's natural ability to identify problems and conceptualize solutions. From his wire-bicycle attraction offering scenic views with built-in safety features to a practical beachside shop selling forgotten essentials, his ideas demonstrate remarkable business acumen. His most impressive concept? An eco-friendly power generation system utilizing rapidly reproducing algae and plants called frogbit, complete with plans to repurpose waste as fertilizer – showcasing environmental consciousness that would impress seasoned entrepreneurs.
The wisdom in Oscar's approach is beautifully simple: "The trick to coming up with ideas is just any time you have a problem, think what would solve it." This straightforward philosophy, combined with his consideration for others and the environment, reminds us that innovative thinking often comes from minds unconstrained by conventional limitations.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone seeking fresh creative inspiration, this conversation will leave you reconsidering what young minds are capable of and perhaps wondering – why didn't I think like this at eleven? Give this episode a listen and prepare to be inspired by Oscar's unique perspective.
Welcome to another edition of GW Unspoken, where we discuss stuff we don't typically talk about but probably should. And I have got an amazing special guest on the show today to all your listeners, and his name is Oscar. How are you, oscar?
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 2:Mate, it's great to have you. We are actually in the North Lakes Library. What do you think of this little space?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's quite good.
Speaker 2:It's nice, isn't it? All right Now, mate. We've just met, but I want to ask a few questions, if that's all right. I've been asking you questions all morning, but the listeners get to know you, if that's all right. How old are you?
Speaker 1:I'm 11 right now.
Speaker 2:And when do you turn 12?
Speaker 1:November, the 25th.
Speaker 2:Oh, so this year you're 12. Very good, all right. What's the best thing about being an 11-year-old?
Speaker 1:Not really anything that much, because the problem is it's about, well, when you turn 13, or 12 or 13,. That's when everyone starts recognising you as you're a teenager. That's right.
Speaker 1:Even if you technically are acting like one, and you're just like one just because when you're 11, you're still classed as one of the really young kids. But you don't want to do that. You want to do the things that the older kids do, like there's just a bunch of random stuff that the older kids get to do that the younger kids don't, and then the younger kids have special programs yeah for them.
Speaker 1:But if you're in the middle, where you're technically not 12, well, are growing up fast enough that you well act like you're 12.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You've just got to wait an entire year before you can actually do some of the fun stuff.
Speaker 2:So you basically have to wait for the turn 12 or turn thing to have that stuff, but you might be ready for it, yeah, so you're in the middle of no man's land, sort of thing. Yeah, that sucks All right. What's been your favourite age group so far growing up? That's a bit of a tough question. Have you thought about that?
Speaker 1:Probably when I was really young.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because you could get away with more stuff. I'm telling your parents this More stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm telling your parents.
Speaker 1:this Because, and also then you were actually the right age for some of the stuff.
Speaker 2:So you're allowed to get away with stuff a bit.
Speaker 1:And also you're the age for the stuff that you're doing.
Speaker 2:Okay. Now here's a question for you, because I know after our little conversations this morning you're quite an intelligent young man. I'm going to say you're a young man even though you're 11. I still think you're very intelligent for your age. Here's a question for you. Ready, this is going to be a thinking question. What is your earliest ever memory you can remember? Because there's something you think. If you look right back now and think, go back in your memory and go, there's something you think if you look right back now and think, go back in your memory and go, what's the first thing I've ever remembered in life, it's a toughie. Can you think of that?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I remember going down a hill on one of those little plastic trikes. My grandpa was taping me on an old video recorder like a really old school one, and there was a bumpy road.
Speaker 1:It was like gravel road and I was about three or four, I reckon I couldn't. Maybe the oldest memory I could think of, I don't know, but I can hardly, but I can't really remember stuff that well. In fact, I cannot even remember what I ate for breakfast today.
Speaker 2:Well, I just love how you're taking your time to think, though you can see your brain's really working like trying to think back, so we'll come back to that question. All right, We'll come back to that one. Where best do you live? Because our listeners don't know you. So where best do you live? What's the area?
Speaker 1:In Kipper Ring.
Speaker 2:Kipper Ring all right, and what year level are you in? Kipper Ring? Kipper Ring, alright, and what year level are you in?
Speaker 1:I'm in year six.
Speaker 2:Grade six at Kipper Ring.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right now I'm at Kipper Ring, but next term I start at Scarborough.
Speaker 2:Oh, lovely, new start, new change. Okay, that's beautiful. Are you nervous about going to that school, a brand new school? Because I'd be petrified, I'd be scared.
Speaker 1:I'm a bit nervous, but not really that much Okay.
Speaker 2:Very brave man. All right Now who's in your family?
Speaker 1:Well, mum and dad and my sister.
Speaker 2:Nice and your sister is older or younger than you.
Speaker 1:Younger, younger than you.
Speaker 2:Okay, Pets Now I've met one of your pets. Have you only got one pet?
Speaker 1:Well, technically, if you count every single pet, it would be somewhere in the billions, because we have beehives.
Speaker 2:Do you?
Speaker 1:Which have. Yeah, you do, no, you Do you which have?
Speaker 2:yeah, no, you, I'm talking about you yourself, your family. What pets do you have?
Speaker 1:We have some beehives, so we have millions and millions of beehives.
Speaker 2:Do you? Where are your beehives?
Speaker 1:We have one around the back somewhere Do you?
Speaker 2:I never knew this. Have they ever stung you?
Speaker 1:No, because they're Australian native bees.
Speaker 2:So smart. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:And then also we have my dog, goldie.
Speaker 2:Goldie. I remember, goldie, when I first met you. We had a very close relationship. She nearly ate my hand the whole time I was there. But she's very gorgeous, isn't she?
Speaker 1:Yeah, she usually has longer fur than when you met her. She just had a haircut like in week nine, I think it was okay.
Speaker 2:Well, let's see what I'm. Just a cooler down a bit, just make it a bit cooler. Is that why she had a haircut?
Speaker 1:yeah, I think as well, she also had very long fur Okay.
Speaker 2:There you go. Now I'm going to ask you a question to the listener. Have you done a podcast before?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:You seem like a very professional at this. Okay, you might be taking my job away from me here. What about some of your interests? Let the listeners know a bit about you. What are some of the things you're really interested in and like?
Speaker 1:I don't know really. I don't actually know what I like that much.
Speaker 2:Well, what are you like doing in your spare time? Like later on today, we said we might do something. What are we going to do in your spare time? Like later on today, we said we might do something. What are we?
Speaker 1:going to do. Well, I kind of like animals. Yeah, I also like playing basketball.
Speaker 2:Oh nice, that's good, and I believe you've got a new cap over there.
Speaker 1:I can see over here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. All right, so you like basketball, you like animals. I believe you like nature, walks, looking around, things like that. What about let's get some tricky questions now, because you're doing these too easily. I'm going to test you a bit here. If I said to you when you are, let's fast forward the track. 10 years from now, we're going to teleport 10 years ahead. Oscar's 21, nearly 22 in November. What's he doing? What's he want to do when he's a bit older?
Speaker 1:Well, I don't actually know, no.
Speaker 2:Do you think he'd like to do a job that works with animals, wouldn't that?
Speaker 1:be cool. Yeah, I'm kind of leaning towards I might make up my own company.
Speaker 2:Ooh, business owner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I also reckon I would work on a farm.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, lots of animals. Yeah, what would you have? Donkeys.
Speaker 1:Probably not.
Speaker 2:What would you have?
Speaker 1:I could have some cows some chickens.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Definitely a whole heap of dogs.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:I could also have some raspberry bushes.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so some plants.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I reckon as well, a horse maybe, okay, so I can get from one side of my farm to the other side pretty quickly.
Speaker 2:Oh, so you'd ride the horse. Yeah, very good, I love that. Now the thing is I love this idea of yours about being either a business owner or owning a big farm is that you are a vegetarian.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I know you'd look after those animals. They would never get cut up or eaten or something, would they? Or would you do that for other people, or would you just want to keep them to yourself?
Speaker 1:I reckon I would just well. I reckon the main reason I want those animals is cows you milk cows, of course. And you get eggs off chickens.
Speaker 2:Very good.
Speaker 1:Meaning I would have access to a million eggs. Meaning if anyone does something to annoy me, they'll have a whole heap of eggs splattered all over their house.
Speaker 2:Oh, you'd egg them. Oh no, Well, you could still sell that, couldn't you, without hurting the animals. Like you could actually sell milk and you could sell eggs, couldn't you? That's smart. And then you've got your raspberry bushes. You could eat off eggs, couldn't you? That's smart.
Speaker 1:And then you've got your raspberry bushes you could eat off. Do you like raspberries? Yeah, a bit. I've also heard that most of the time that raspberries actually are really, really expensive because of the shipping problem. Have you ever like? If you shake around the raspberry garden, that will squish the raspberries. That's how delicate they are.
Speaker 2:Bless you. So are you saying you want stronger raspberries or you want different packaging?
Speaker 1:I reckon the reason that I would want a raspberry bush is I've also heard that like, if you just plant one raspberry bush, raspberry bushes, go crazy.
Speaker 2:And they're expensive, so you'd make a lot of money because they're like $4.50 a punnet or something you could make a fortune.
Speaker 1:The thing is, I'm not actually sure whether I will, because the shops might buy them for really cheap and then sell them really expensive because they're hard to ship.
Speaker 2:What if you had people just buy straight from you and they missed the shopping center and just get straight from you?
Speaker 1:Some people do that. Yeah, I reckon that would work.
Speaker 2:I reckon that would work too, and you're a big billionaire. Can I come and work for you and I'll go pick the raspberries.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm not sure if I would become a billionaire off my farm.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:But I have a bunch of ideas.
Speaker 2:I want to hear some. This is good.
Speaker 1:That I reckon I could start. That would be quite good.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:So Give right.
Speaker 2:So Give me a couple. Give me a couple of these.
Speaker 1:I reckon that Arkana would be fun if you you know how at circuses they have the people unicycling along a tight wire.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Arkana would be fun, if you fun, if I got a bicycle, cut off the tyres and then put like a tight wire going around and above a harness so well you don't fall off. Smart, and then it can go over like rivers and have really scenic views.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:And then you could just like ride a bicycle along through the sky.
Speaker 2:So you ride it on the wire without a wheel. It sits on it. Does the frame sit on it? And somehow it moves.
Speaker 1:No, it has the wheel.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just not the tyres.
Speaker 2:Oh, without the tube, without the rubber bits.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it just fits onto the wire.
Speaker 2:How good is that. And so is it electric like you push a button, or do you have to pedal to make it still work?
Speaker 1:You pedal. That way, you can like slow it down.
Speaker 2:Get some exercise.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it'll be like exercising.
Speaker 2:Can you do a tandem one like someone's on the front, someone's on the back.
Speaker 1:Maybe that would actually be a good idea. Except the thing is you would have to do a bit more than that to the bicycle, because the problem is you don't want someone just jumping off the bicycle and the bicycle just dropping.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:So I reckon you would need to put like a bar coming off from the wheels.
Speaker 2:To stabilise it. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1:I reckon I would make a normal one first and then maybe, if it's a success, I would make a tandem-wired.
Speaker 2:And have some variety. Then, oh, listen to me, where did you get that idea from?
Speaker 1:Well, I was watching the TV show the Office.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I was up to one of the episodes where Dwight decided to ride a bicycle over the car park, with basically doing exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 2:Ah, except he didn't what I was thinking, ah.
Speaker 1:Except he didn't have a harness above.
Speaker 2:Ah, did he fall.
Speaker 1:Well, he made sure that the bicycle would only go upside down if he fell, so he was just hanging there for five minutes, and then the fire department had to come and rescue him.
Speaker 2:All the blood rushed to his head. What All the blood would have rushed to his head? He would have got a head spin, oh my gosh. So you've already thought of the safety aspect.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love it. That's so good. You probably saved some time, like, even though you're pedaling, you can go, like you know, to your place a day. So, going through all the way through, you know, towards Scarborough and then towards Kipper Ring to eventually get to Yucca, you just go straight across in the sky. I know that's smart. Do a bit of exercise to pick you up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, except if it becomes too popular, you'll need to make more than one, because otherwise the lines would just go insane.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Or if someone's coming in the same line going the other way, you'd be in trouble insane yeah. Or if someone's coming in the same line going the other way, you'd be in trouble.
Speaker 1:No, I reckon I would not do it for a transport thing, but mainly for the scenes.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Like you can go over rivers and stuff all over nature.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And that would be fun.
Speaker 2:That's a good idea.
Speaker 1:It'll be like a zipline, but you can control your speed.
Speaker 2:So cool. This is why you said you're going to be a business owner. See, that's perfect, all right, now there's another question for you. What's another one?
Speaker 1:Another one of my ideas. I reckon it would be quite successful if you made a shop next to the beach that sells bathers and towels, and Sunscreen. Yeah, sunscreen and water, since everyone goes to the beach expecting oh, I'm not going to get crushed by waves and I'm not going to accidentally swallow a lot of seawater and then need to drink a lot of water. But that actually happens.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So usually you don't know how much water to bring, and then sometimes people forget their bathers.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So, like you just don't know what you're going to forget.
Speaker 2:So do you have like something completely random, completely different, where you just put the shop sign right in the middle of the beach and have change rooms so people go? Oh, I forgot my towel. Oh, hang on, it's just there, I can just go in there and buy one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I reckon I would put it like yeah, maybe on the beach or next to the beach.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I mean, if you just put it like on the street next to the beach, that would get a bit of business as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, before you actually get on the beach, people get in the car Because a lot of people would like when they realise they forget they're bathers.
Speaker 1:They basically usually, they're usually on the, they're usually ready to go in the bathroom, they just can't find their bathers. So that would be that's smart.
Speaker 2:Well, that's location, it's right there, isn't it? I remember if I took the kids to the beach now and got in the car and one of the girls go, oh, I forgot my swimmers and they don't want to miss out, and I can go to a place right there and go well, let's go to Oscar's swim and surf shop and then bang, buy them and then everyone's happy still. Yeah, I know, that's so good. Where did this idea come from?
Speaker 1:Well, on the weekend last weekend, we were actually going to. We were actually at Happy Valley, which is quite far away from where I live.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's about.
Speaker 2:It's at least an hour drive to Clareville, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So, and my sister forgot her bathers. Yeah, so well, she just had to go. She threw a giant tantrum.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Even though she's nine years old.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:She was crying. Yeah, because she was upset, she wanted to swim right and she ended up just swimming in her normal clothes. Yeah, if there was a shop with bathers. That would have been very useful.
Speaker 2:And so from that problem because they say when you build a business, you've got to build it from helping solving people's problems. Right, there was a problem that day because she didn't have a swimmer, she didn't have a bathers, and if you had your shop there they would have fixed a problem like that. And you just came up with that because of what happened to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:Do you realize that before you said I don't know what I want to do in 10 years' time, and already you've said business owner, farm zip line with bike idea, you come up with a little Oscar's swim shack?
Speaker 1:you come up with great ideas already. Yeah, I know I feel like there was one other really good one that I also, I reckon, since I've heard that you know how plants have photosynthesis. Yeah, if you get a plant that just reproduces all the time, you can use the energy it makes to create electricity.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, how would that happen, I wonder?
Speaker 1:I couldn't, it would be a long process, but I couldn't. It would be a long process, but I couldn't that I could make a power station out of algae, since that just reproduces since it comes out of the water from somewhere. I don't actually know what forms it, but if you just have water that's sitting still, algae grows in it.
Speaker 2:So it's a plentiful supply that keeps coming through. Yeah, Now you like science. Surely this must have come from an idea. Does this come from Mythbusters or something? Where did this idea come from? Did you make this idea up?
Speaker 1:Well, I heard that there was a building somewhere that actually uses that algae system already to power all the homes and apparently it's powering the entire city. What? Because it's got so much power.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:I know, but I was thinking I could also use. There's a plant called frogbit that if you get one piece of it the next day, that fish tank or pond or whatever you put it in, would be completely full of it wow meaning if I can get and it mainly grows in shape. Meaning I could put panels of algae and then frog bit and then another panel of frogbit.
Speaker 2:Amazing. Your mind is amazing.
Speaker 1:And then I could destroy it to get all the energy out of it and power homes from this plant that just reproduces in a day.
Speaker 2:So it's actually going to be like energy efficient. It's going to solve any of the problems of using too much electricity and energy. You're going to use natural product. What does it smell like? What?
Speaker 1:does it smell?
Speaker 2:Does algae smell? How do you get rid of that?
Speaker 1:I don't know, because you just need to obstruct the energy. And then I was thinking you could also get all the dead parts of algae and frogbit and all that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Since it would have tons of nutrients, especially the frogbit that almost doubles itself in a day, that, like you, could sell that as fertilizer.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, so it's got another use. Yeah, so the offcuts or the leftover can be used again.
Speaker 1:To make other plants grow and then say those plants might have fruit which then that's more food, and then it's just eco-friendly and it's just like solar panels, except sort of different.
Speaker 2:What's the name of this business going to be? I don't know. Oscars, ozone Friendly, something I don't know. I love it. I've got a question to ask you now. This is a very frustrating question for me. How come I'm nearly 50 and I'm only just coming up with business ideas now, and you're not even 12 yet? With respect, but you've already got like three or four ideas already.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, how do you get so clever? Where do all these ideas come from? Are you eating, like some special kind of food in the morning, just right, or something that makes you all smart? What is?
Speaker 1:it Maybe.
Speaker 2:Well, I like it. I like it. There's three ideas already.
Speaker 1:But the thing is like the trick to coming up with those ideas is just like any time you have a problem, think what would solve it. And then like, if you come up with like a shop or something, that shop might be successful.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then like if you just see something and think that's a good idea, that could be a business idea, yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you know what I like about your business ideas? Do you know what I really like about your business ideas? They're always thinking of the environment. They're always thinking of other people. You're solving the problem for other people. It sounds like it's going to be cheap, so people can afford it. So you're a very nurturing, kind person to think about that for other people to solve their problems. Yeah, yeah, that's good man. Well done. Well, I feel very inadequate now because I don't have all these business ideas, but you do. You sound fantastic. Shall we go through a few more personal questions for you See how you go, if you could go anywhere in the world right now.
Speaker 1:Where would it be? I don't know really, because I reckon I would kind of want to go to where it's snowing, and then I kind of reckon New Zealand would be good, but then I'm like, would I want to go there or would I want to go somewhere that's tropical, but then with the tropical, well, technically, redcliffe and North Lakes, where we are right now, is technically classed as a tropical place.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Meaning I'm like, would I want to go somewhere more tropical and probably hotter than 30 degrees?
Speaker 2:Hmm, dunno, dunno. Okay, how about this for an idea Would you rather go to New Zealand for a trip? Right or would you rather travel around Australia first and see all of Australia first?
Speaker 1:Well, I'm pretty sure I would get bored of travelling around Australia, because the main landmarks are the giant pineapple. I've already seen that.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Wait, did I say giant pineapple?
Speaker 2:The big pineapple.
Speaker 1:Did I say the big pineapple? Wait, which one has a zoo? Did I say the big pineapple or the big peanut? I don't know. But like there's basically anything that's a landmark in Australia is either Ayers Rock or a giant thing.
Speaker 2:Have you seen the big prawn? In New South Wales They've got a big prawn, and the big pineapple does have a zoo next to it. You're right, there's a big pineapple.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and also there's a big galah somewhere, and then there's, in Darwin, I think, something else.
Speaker 2:There'd be a big crocodile there somewhere for sure. At Normanton, where I used to live, there was a big crocodile called Chris the Crocodile. It was like 14 or 16 foot long, a replica made out of apparently it was supposed to be him. That's huge. That'd be a bit scary flying that in real life. So you're saying that you'd rather go somewhere that's a bit more exciting, where you fly and get straight there and travel all the way around, take all the time just to see those landmarks.
Speaker 1:Because, yeah, basically anything in Australia is well. This goes for the animals as well. Usually, most things in Australia are bigger than anywhere else, and that's why they're so famous.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Like there's tons of red rocks out there, but not as big as Ayers Rock.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:So that's why it's famous. Yeah, I mean, there's thousands of statues of galahs. I even have a statue of a galah.
Speaker 2:You don't have to travel anywhere.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just your own house yeah, and then the thing is, there's the famous big statue of a galah. That's like that's in south australia, I think, or somewhere. Okay, but it's huge yeah and then there's a giant statue of Ned Kelly somewhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't need to travel anywhere to see a statue of Ned Kelly.
Speaker 2:No, no, is it Harvey Bay or somewhere? Isn't there one there, maribor, I don't know? Tyro, somewhere around there?
Speaker 1:But there's definitely a statue of Ned Kelly in my house.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, you haven't just gone to all these places and stolen them and brought them back to your house, have you no?
Speaker 1:Otherwise it would be odd Like thousands of huge landmarks just sitting there in my house.
Speaker 2:You could say forget going around Australia, just come to Kipper Ring, we've got it all here. It's just all here, just a bit smaller. Oh, that's cool we even have a bedrock. Yes.
Speaker 1:Just a bit smaller than Ayers Rock.
Speaker 2:That's right. What's the other name of Ayers Rock? Now, do you know that?
Speaker 1:Loo See, Look at that everything my goodness All right.
Speaker 2:Well, new Zealand maybe could be it All right. Next question Do you have a favourite song at the moment?
Speaker 1:Well, I kind of like ACDC Thunderstruck.
Speaker 2:Ooh, old school rock. We've talked about this, actually haven't we? We've talked about old rock songs. Did you want to sing it right now on air?
Speaker 1:I don't know a lot of the words.
Speaker 2:All right, let's go through a bit more to know you, oscar favourite food.
Speaker 1:Favourite food? I don't know.
Speaker 2:If I was saying we're going out for dinner tonight, we're going to a restaurant, Oscar's, going well, I would feel like eating this.
Speaker 1:What would it be Probably either pizza or pasta or tacos or loaded fries or tacos.
Speaker 2:Stop it, you're making me hungry now. Jeez, that's good Vegemite sandwiches.
Speaker 1:Disgusting.
Speaker 2:No good, All right. What about favourite drink?
Speaker 1:Favourite drink, probably creaming soda.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I heard chocolate thick shakes are pretty good too, aren't they? Yeah, yes, all right, creamy soda An oldie, but a goodie, that's awesome. Oh, here's a challenging one for you. What about? Do you have a favourite movie of all time? Like if it came on TV, you're like I have to watch this because, even though I've seen it a thousand times, I have to watch it again. Do you have like a movie? This is my favourite movie.
Speaker 1:No, not really.
Speaker 2:Frozen 2? Is that it?
Speaker 1:No, okay, whatever Frozen 1? No Okay whatever Frozen 1. No.
Speaker 2:Okay, fine.
Speaker 1:Wait, is that your favourite?
Speaker 2:I don't want to talk about it. It's not about me. I'll start crying if I think about Frozen 2. When Elsa gets lost. Anyway, I had a moment then. What kind of shows do you like to watch?
Speaker 1:Well, I kind of like watching action movies and sort of funny drama shows like the office okay, yeah, yeah, nice yeah, in the office. I'm right now up to the bit where the since if you've just started watching it, you know how. There's how they're making the documentary about the office.
Speaker 2:I don't but tell me about it, and that's why the film crew's there and they keep interviewing them. Okay.
Speaker 1:But they've just got to the bit where they've start, where the documentary started releasing previous Okay For the documentary started releasing previews for the documentary and one of the episodes was about one of the previews got released and since there was two characters who no one knew liked each other, but they were caught on film, so that got released in one of the previews and then everyone was starting to think wait, how much stuff got released on previews.
Speaker 2:People got to see.
Speaker 1:How much stuff did the film crew get?
Speaker 2:Oh, so you don't mind. You like some of the behind the scenes stories too.
Speaker 1:A bit, because I kind of feel like it's just funny. The office yeah, okay, usually. So you like a bit of comedy, you like a bit of lighthearted stuff? The Office, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Usually so. You like a bit of comedy, you like a bit of lighthearted stuff, fun stuff.
Speaker 1:If you've seen the Office, you probably would have realised that Jim pulls a lot of pranks on Dwight.
Speaker 2:Do you do pranks? No, you don't.
Speaker 1:In the first episode of the Office Jim put. Well, at start Jim kept covering everything that Dwight owns in Jell-O and then he would just like grab it and he'd cover it in Jell-O like a stapler was in.
Speaker 2:Jell-O. Oh yuck, Did it make you laugh? Do you sit on the couch and laugh out loud when you're watching this?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's funny.
Speaker 1:There was one thing that was hilarious that Jim. Oh, there was two that were hilarious that Jim pulled on Dwight. These are my two favourite ones. My two favourite ones. So there was, Jim made a fake letter that was supposedly written by the person who made Dundamithlin, which is the company they work for.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And he came across the Holy Grail.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And then Dwight went on this huge treasure hunt to find the Holy Grail. Oh my gosh, Were you laughing the whole episode with that one and then one of the warehouse, and then the camera turned around at them when they quit to show one of the warehouse guys drinking out of the Holy Grail.
Speaker 2:They had found the.
Speaker 1:Holy Grail and were drinking out of it.
Speaker 2:Oh my goodness, oh gosh, I wonder you like that show. It actually sounds very funny.
Speaker 1:And then this one's definitely one of the funniest ones of all time. Go on, but Jim had a dentist appointment. Of the funniest ones of all time. Go on, but Jim had a dentist appointment in the morning. Oh nice that's the storyline and he had a friend who's an actor so he came. So the actor came in and the actor was Asian. So they had changed, like all of Jim's photos on his desk to like him and his wife. All those photos he changed to his wife and the.
Speaker 1:Asian guy, and then he changed the pictures of his kids to the pictures of the Asian guy's kids, and then he made him sit at his desk and do all the normal things Jim does and Dwight was like what?
Speaker 2:What's going on, yeah?
Speaker 1:And it was hilarious.
Speaker 2:Well, maybe you should do that. Maybe you could be a director and do comedy, you'd probably be good at that actually. You'd actually be pretty good at that. Come up with scenarios like that. Okay, so you like the Office? That actually made me laugh. You can't think of a necessary favourite movie apart from Frozen 2.
Speaker 1:No, Frozen 2 is not my favourite movie.
Speaker 2:Okay, sorry, I thought I slipped that in there. Have you thought about what was the question we asked you earlier? I see what you're going to do when you get older You're going to be an entrepreneur, now on a big farm. Oh, here's a really important question. Favour favourite chocolate.
Speaker 1:Turkish Delight definitely D minus.
Speaker 2:Okay, we had a bit of an argument about it. Not an argument, what would you say? A conflict of interest with this one? You need to take me through this. I want you to try and convince the listeners why Turkish Delight, you think, is the best chocolate.
Speaker 1:Because it's got.
Speaker 2:Oh sorry, keep going.
Speaker 1:Because it's got….
Speaker 2:Wrong. Oh sorry, keep going, Because it's got… Wrong.
Speaker 1:It's got texture and it's got like it's basically got this really good flavour and then it's just amazing.
Speaker 2:But that's not true. You're lying to our listeners right now because you know that's not true. Jelly and chocolate, just don't.
Speaker 1:It's the best.
Speaker 2:Jelly and chocolate. They don't go together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, it does.
Speaker 2:We might have to buy one again later on and just try one half each, and then just try it. Oh, you're trying to convince me.
Speaker 1:Well, the thing is like also with Turkish Delight like you think, what else would you think doesn't go together Like well.
Speaker 2:Strawberry jam and cheese, but that's yummy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see. That makes sense, you don't think that jam and cheese would go together, but it does. It does it goes together really well, and the same with pineapple and pizza.
Speaker 2:That's a good point. That's actually true.
Speaker 1:So you just think it wouldn't go together, but it goes together.
Speaker 2:I don't know. We'll have to go back to that one. We'll have to go and buy one today now, just to try and think again and say, okay, I'm going to have an open mind. I always got a bad feeling. I'm going to have one bite and go whoop, bye-bye, all right, is there anything else on the podcast? I have not asked you, but you'd like to talk about? No, I have not asked you, but you'd like to talk about? No, not really. You're a bit of a natural at this, aren't you? Am I? You're very good at this.
Speaker 2:Very good at podcasting, very good. If you were to do a podcast, what do you think your podcast would be mainly about? What would you like to talk to listeners about? I don't know, because you've got so many good thoughts and you articulate, you talk about things very, very well. You're a deep thinker and I can feel what you mean when you said. You know sometimes you have to wait until you're a teenager, until you're treated like that or get privileges. But look at you. You're 11, turning 12 in November, and you articulate things so well, you speak so well, you've got so many ideas. I reckon you could offer the world lots of different advice or strategy, or you could do a podcast on anything you like. So maybe we'll think about it, shall we?
Speaker 1:We'll see you next time.
