Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I don't know about you, but everyone I'm talking to is either they've been to Europe or they're going to Europe and it's annoying me because I'm not and I just hear about where they're going and everyone's going to Italy and everyone's doing the thing and, you know, I'm just going, I don't want to hear about that.

Ross StevensonHOST

Glenn RobbinsGUEST
Yes, you do eat slowly, but that's a great thing because you have to have a slow lunch.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
Hey, look, I come across as a nice guy, but I'm just cutting it straight into it here.

They're tricky little
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
So it flipped and the carrot took off like a hubcap around the table, ran around all these.

So tomato sauce, when they create it, it has to come out of the tube at a certain speed limit, otherwise it won't be the right consistency for what tomato sauce sh- should be.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
Mick, next time you get fish and chips and you want sauce, say that to the person behind the...
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I'm just bringing you to the truth, and I think probably by you admitting that, you're making people feel better because they have things in their life that they don't, uh, c- can't do.

Glenn RobbinsGUEST
Yeah, my s- my middle son, um, I, I'm reminded of his name every time I walk into his bedroom [laughs] 'cause there's a street sign there.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
When I'm watering around the house and folding and washing and so forth, I'll put on Antec Roadshow.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
And I'll be honest, I'm guilty of playing a game where when they give the value of the item, I work out whether or not the amount of money would be enough to fix their teeth.
Cat LynchHOST
We're joined by a great mate of the show, Glenn Robbins, who always brings something very insightful and interesting for us.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
And so the question of the day is what impresses you? Because I was talking to a friend of mine and I was, look, I think you'll all be impressed with this.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I was playing golf on a par four, long drive, pull out a six iron, bang, put the six iron in for two.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I've got to say, that's pretty impressive, isn't it? That is very impressive.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
But you were wearing a beanie too, and I said to you, "Mick, your beanie, you look like a garden gnome." Mm-hmm.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
And I said, "Just pull it down a bit." And he goes, "That's as far as I can pull it down because my head's too big." Right.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I'd, I've never heard of someone having a head too big for a beanie, but apparently-

Glenn RobbinsGUEST
You asked me this question and, and I'm saying this with reluctance, okay? You can all go quiet after I say it, but I wouldn't put, I wouldn't put...

Glenn RobbinsGUEST
But that for me, I, I, and I still copy Benny Hill in a lot of my comedy mo- a lot of my physical stuff.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
Well- I've actually started doing it again, ge- genuinely in the last few months.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
I, I, because I'm rereading Clive James' Unreliable Memoirs, which I read in my youth, and I found it then quite inspiring to talk about the little things in my- Mm-hmm ... upbringing that I found interesting, and he does it so well in his early years.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
You've got troubles of your own.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
So anyway, maybe this time I will have some, uh, participation in the guests that come on.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
And I really enjoyed it because he was at the age where he could be totally honest.
Glenn RobbinsGUEST
And the interviewer said to him, what's good about getting old? And he said, nothing.
