Who are Granny Bingo’s Edith and Maureen and what’s their back‑story?

Abbie Chatfield 0:00
It's a Lot is recorded on Gadigal land. We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land and to elders past and present. We also would love to extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening today and remind you all that sovereignty was never ceded and it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

It's a Lot is Everyone, we're here for a Nightmare Fuel with – I'm actually with Starstruck and I can't quite look at who I'm with. I'm with the amazing – I went and saw their show. I can't even talk. I'm so nervous. I went and saw their show about a year ago and I was really thrilled to meet you both in person. I'm here with the incredible granny bingo duo Maureen and Ed. Edith. Hi there. Hello, everyone. Thank you. Nice to see you. Thanks for

Debbie. I know, I know. I've been using, I have your little souvenir tea spoon. Plug the merch. Thank you very much. It's really genius. I'm actually jealous of it. I had a tour recently and I almost did it, but I thought I might get in trouble. No, you do it. We'll fix
Edith Vale 1:11
tour.
Abbie Chatfield 1:12
Exactly.
Edith Vale 1:12
Thank you.
Abbie Chatfield 1:13
So Maureen and Edith, tell everyone a little bit about yourselves. Well, we're Melbourne girls.
Sorry.
Abbie Chatfield 1:18
It's audio only so they mightn't see what's going on right now. You must tune in on the video. That's right.
Edith Vale 1:25
Maureen and I, well, we've been best friends for years, haven't we? We went to an agricultural boarding school for young ladies
Maureen McGillicuddy 1:32
and
Edith Vale 1:32
we were the naughty girls up the back of the
Maureen McGillicuddy 1:33
class. I can imagine. Yeah, we used to, you'd flick the rubber bands at the teacher, the nun, you know, or one of our friends, Beryl, she used to put a bomb under the priest's car. That's right, yeah. She was a Protestant. She was a Protestant.
Edith Vale 1:45
Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, they're out of control. And, well, we've raised our children together and we worked together. Yep. And we now live together. Yeah. In the nursing home in Areola Gardens, which is the name of the home, we share a room to cut down on costs. Yeah,
Abbie Chatfield 1:58
it's not a bed.
Edith Vale 1:59
Top and tail. Top
Abbie Chatfield 2:00
and tail. Never any funny business? Never any funny business. Never
Edith Vale 2:04
once? Oh, once a while ago. I don't want to go into too much detail. But we've popped up here to Sydney to see you, of course, in Sydney, and we are loving it, aren't we? Oh, it's wild. I mean, Sydney used to be the last place
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:17
you'd
Edith Vale 2:18
choose
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:18
to go to. That's right. Now
Edith Vale 2:20
every pub has
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:20
pokies.
Edith Vale 2:21
That's right.
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:22
It's
Edith Vale 2:23
unbelievable. I've got to say, you know, this podcast, you've really looked after us. Thank you so much. You should see the accommodation they've put us up in. We're staying in a hotel.
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:33
What's it called? Oh, it's on Oxford Street there. Sydney. Sydney sauna. Sydney sauna. Sauna. The rooms
Edith Vale 2:42
are a little bit small. Small. And the beds are a little bit sticky, but there's as many towels as you like.
Maureen McGillicuddy 2:47
Very nice. And in the morning they bring in the breakfast, you know, and they've got the little hole in the door like they normally do in a hotel and a little chipolata comes through. Just through a
Edith Vale 2:59
small hole in the wall,
Maureen McGillicuddy 3:00
which is very nice. Yeah, very efficient. Very efficient.
Edith Vale 3:03
Yeah,
Maureen McGillicuddy 3:03
yeah,
Edith Vale 3:03
yeah. But it's lovely. Self-sourcing. We've been going around. Self-sourcing. We've had culinary experiences, really, here in Sydney. We went out for dinner last night at about 4pm. It was very
Abbie Chatfield 3:17
nice, wasn't it? Oh, really nice. Really lovely, yeah. Where
Edith Vale 3:19
did you go? We had Peking duck. Oh!
Abbie Chatfield 3:23
As did I. Do you like
Edith Vale 3:26
Peking duck?

What crazy ‘fire‑the‑lesbian’ stunt did they pull at a show?

Maureen McGillicuddy 3:27
Yeah, all the time. Wonderful.
Abbie Chatfield 3:28
I need
Maureen McGillicuddy 3:28
extra sauce on my Peking
Abbie Chatfield 3:30
duck. That's right. It's very filling. No, I don't like the sauce that much. You don't like the sauce? I don't ever have the sauce. Right. Genuinely never. I thought it was just part of the deal. Yeah, no, I actually, this is a weird fact about me, I actually have never swallowed Adam's Cump.
Edith Vale 3:43
Really? Well, that's more information than I needed to
Abbie Chatfield 3:46
know, I think, Abby, but
Edith Vale 3:47
good on you.
Abbie Chatfield 3:48
And, you know, I know
Edith Vale 3:49
you're all about your feminism and things and girl
Unknown 3:52
power and
Edith Vale 3:53
hysterectomies and that sort of stuff.
Unknown 3:56
You
Edith Vale 3:57
know, maybe, though, Abby, every now and then do a nice episode of your podcast,
Unknown 4:00
I think.
Edith Vale 4:01
Well, I've
Abbie Chatfield 4:02
got you on today.
