License to Bore You (Week Nineteen)


Listen Later

As we discovered in the previous episode with my bestie Natalie, I have a habit of befriending retail staff that I throw large sums of money at. I friended Natalie at Om Bazaar in Karratha back in 1989, and in the 90's, I friended the shit out of my bestie Retna at a Pierucci store in Perth. Right now Retna is taking a well deserved holiday, but I've somehow managed to sweet talk her into spending some time listening to more of my not very enthralling teenage dairy entries. Coming up, we'll find out how I make my mother cry, and why my reaction to that, is to find it cute. I’m not actually an arsehole, thankfully there is a reason for me having the cuteness feels whilst she is in tears, phew. I’ll also attend a quiz night with the who’s who of Karratha’s business elite, none of who I actually remember now, and despite my protests, they'll keep sliding me free vodka and oranges, which may help explain why I now have no idea who they are, thanks brain. I’ll also get excited when I get a personalised radio station sweeper (the thing they play between the songs on the radio that tells you who the radio station is) anyway, teenage me froths out because this sweeper actually says my ACTUAL NAME! Does that mean I'm a proper radio announcer now? Plus, just like the entries in my teenage diary are bound to induce, I'll fall asleep and miss a dinner party I was invited to. We'll also give you some quintessential 80's style reminiscing about everything from Corey Haim and Smash Hits Magazine, to Marky Mark and a meltdown that involves a mad dash to a swimming pool, for what...we're not really sure. It's hopefully both confusing and enlightening.
