It's official.. Marty Sheargold is now an official member of the Nova family. You can catch him weekday mornings with Meshel and Tim... (hence the show name change to Meshel, Tim and Marty!)
Marty's a a beer-drinker and a great story teller who snorts when he laughs.
He’s also patiently awaiting the arrival of his new son/daughter.. in just a matter of days.
Let’s pry into his private life and get to know him a bit better.
Hey Marty, introduce yourself in a couple of lines…
Hi everyone, how awkward is this online question thing? I’d love to tell you that I’m 6’5, weigh 90 kilos and have a full head of beautiful hair. Unfortunately I’m 5’9, weigh 96 kilos and bald, oh well, next question.
Now introduce your family
I have a beautiful partner Angela, a 19-month-old baby girl called Kitty with a brother or sister due very soon and a labrador called Dudley (who we think might be retarded).
How are you feeling about the impending birth of baby number two?
Very EXCITED, can’t wait for our new family member to arrive it’s like waiting for Santa to give you your big brother's bike repainted - except better.
What’s the best advice you’ve been given?
Never leave anything on your plate.
What can’t you live without (besides air, water and shelter!)?
I can’t live without a shed/man room where sport plays 24/7 and beer is hidden so when I find it I get the thrill of discovery mixed with the spirit of hunter gathering.
What other jobs have you had?
Milk man, service station attendant, lawn mower, bar man and so many more.
Who do you like better – Meshel or Tim?
I like everyone the same. (But in my mind I know who I really like more.)
Who would play you in a movie?
Meryl Streep, because she’s that good.
Best holiday you’ve ever been on?
Six months on the central coast of NSW with our first baby when she was tiny. Some might call it unemployed, but you have to be looking for a job to be officially out of work.
Tim goes on about the 'beef cheeks story'.. What’s the damn 'beef cheeks story?'
Well Tim Blackwell and I went to Matt Moran’s autumn menu launch at Aria. Tim introduced me to Matt and I said, “Matt it’s lovely to meet you. I had a crack at your beef cheek recipe."
"A couple of problems - the beef cheeks were frozen and I only had a butter knife to cut them with….ha ha ha."
Laughs all round.
When we got outside, Tim was beside himself with embarrassment, he couldn’t believe I told Matt Moran what has now become known as ‘the beef cheek story’.
I still don’t know why he was so embarrassed; its standard gear to talk recipes with a chef. Maybe he was embarrassed because I was nude at the time.
