you you're on the on the good guys side and
you're doing something for a viewer or someone who's come
to us with a problem and hopefully we can sort
it out.

back to the office you say, Wow, you're not going
to believe the day I had? Is this kind of
what the podcast is?

Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yes, spot On, spot On. You know what goes on
behind you know, making TV, and there's a lot to it.

Corilla Plex, where sixty five convicted sex offenders lived together
in the one.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Street Jones's pucked a couple of crackers out of favorite.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
One of all times was the cereal pervert pasta con man,
And so the reporter chased him down, kept tawning him
that he was a serial pervert past the con man,
and then he ended up getting the eve to actually
repeat that back to it.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
But you have no idea who I am.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You're a serial pervert, the wrong thing you would have
got this place?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Comment that's his linked in profile now and then he
fell over.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah, I do recall though, and that is a classic.
But you're right, Amanda, I mean we go beyond that.
The show does go beyond that, and it has moved
with the times. You've plugged a couple out of the
archives there, Jones, which are beauties. But look, you know
the show has moved with the times, and I think
we're a bit more sensitive these days.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Aren't we.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Too sensitive?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Because I want to listen to the podcast and get
the juice. Yeah, yeah, look you do.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I mean you come across those every now and again.
I think the last one was remember the the bloke
he climbed up upon the s c G roof Wallaby's
game and did a did a wee off the roof
onto the crowd.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, did you have a puns for him?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Did alliteration?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah? That was Peddler on the roof.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And you even have the music for it.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
And the best thing about that story, Steve Marshall, is
one of the best bounces you'll ever see.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
He followed him for miles throughout Bondi Junction, up the escalator,
down the escalator, trying to get an answer out of him. Yeah,
you know that kind of behavior.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You need to know why did you find why? No?
You know what?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Not not on that occasion, you know. But I have, Yeah,
I have done a few k's after people. I recall
I'm just looking across now, across at the Harbor Bridge,
and I recall following a blake for about two and
a half k's through the sea. But it yes in
my rims and with a crew around you. By that
time the crew had dropped off.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
The blake.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
The blake he ran for two and a half k's
and I was running next to him saying, may do
you realize that I came third in my cross country?
He ran right into the Rocks police station. Would you believe?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Did you lead him in there? You think?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He led me there and.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
The copper would have hang on what's the current? Heck?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
There he for?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
What's happening?

up the tab after the show.
