Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts here more mixed one or two point
three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart app.
I think on the weekend the onlookers in Adelaide's CBD
were stunt because a young man, a teenager in the end,
jumped on one of those big high rise cranes. This
SOM's on the corner of King Will and Gilbert Street

(00:30):
where they're bilding I think apartments. And he climbed and
he climbed and he climbed all the way to the top,
twenty stories up.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
They first noticed.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Him at eight pm. Finally at four point thirty a m.
The nineteen year old came down, his coached down by police.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
He's just sitting up there for eight hours? Was he
stuck there or was he just choosing to be there?
Just sitting there, Birch.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
He chose to be there, I will say. And this
does lead into my being stark story. It is a
lot easier to get up somewhere then you get down.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
I find also when you're going up and you don't
look down, it's not scary at all. No, fine, you're fine.
Can do you look down and you're descending?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's the scariest. I don't like that, but I don't know.
I think I've spoken to you about this before.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
There's that documentary called Free Solo with this guy called
Alex who I'm just obsessed with.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I find him so fascinating.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
He does rock climbing and ab sailing, rock climbing free
so with no ropes, and apparently he went under like
a some form of I don't know, MRI, and they
found that in his brain there's something missing, so when
you don't have fear, So he can do these things
and be up four thousand meters high with no ropes,

(01:44):
but doesn't get scared. He climbs mountains all over the world.
But it sounds like this kid in Adelaide doesn't have
that thing in his brain as well, because like that
is so scary.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
We've got no fear. Yeah, I get the climbing part.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Climbing is something I think that we can all resonate with,
maybe not on a twenty story high scale. I reckon
my worst my most ill fated climb would have been
playing hide and seek around the house and we had
out the front of our house like a little pillar
with some beams on it. And if you can jump
up and grab onto the beam. It'll be maybe two

(02:22):
meters off the ground. You can pull yourself up and
then you can get on the roof. Yes, and it
is a good place to hide on the roof. It's
a dangerous place to hide. I recommend not doing it kids,
But when you have to get down and you're only
like one hundred and thirty centimeters tall or whatever in
a kid, hanging from a beam that's two meters above

(02:43):
and dropping a meter is not a good time.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's not good for your ankles. It feels like my
twenty story higher moment. Yeah, yeah, I totally get that.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I used to get in the Black Book at Linden
Park by Primary school because yeah, you get a little
card and you're in the black book, and it's bad
because I used to have this obsession with climbing. As
soon as I saw a tree, I'd have to climb it.
And I didn't learn my lesson. So I got like
first two black cards, and then.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I got my theft, Like god, what happens? And I
was bad.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
I wasn't allowed to go out for lunch one day
and that because they didn't trust me, because I had to.
I really love climbing trees so much so. In our
street that we grew up on, we had this tree
called the Beneckee tree. We used we named it. I
don't know why.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
And every time, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Every time i'd have friends over, I would get them
to climb the tree, and every time I'd have to
run back to my house and go.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Mom and dad, Lucy's caught in the tree. Like they'd
always get stuck up there.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
My four year old daughter climbs everything and always get stuck,
so then he has to climb up and get her off.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And it's I just don't climbing. It's fun, though, Do
you not climb? No, I'm too tart to climb. You're
not anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
You get a great sense of achievement climbing, dn't you.
