Speaker 1 (00:00):
Barra is here, and so is Susie, our producer monother producer. Hey,
sus here. We were talking earlier, Barre and I just
about forgetful people and forgetful moments. But you've got an
absolute cracker that happened to you just just recently.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes, I've got some new neighbors across from me, and
they're renting, and I've quickly learned that they're very, very forgetful.
So a few weeks ago, I was leaving for work
quite early in the morning and I noticed across from
me in the driveway their car door was open, and
I was like, oh my god, someone's like broken into
their car and gone through it or something like that.
(00:37):
And I'm friends with the owner of the house, and
I messaged them and I'm like, heads up, like, speak
to your tenants, make sure they're okay.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Turns out, no.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
They weren't.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
They just forgot to close the door.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
How do you do that right? Well, yeah, if you're
a teenager, I can imagine it, but I'm gathering they're not.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
No, they're fully grown adults. Anyway, So last Thursday, I'm
at home and we had a scheduled power outage from
Western power for most of the day, right, So it
went off about seven forty five am. It came back
on around two point fifteen pm. Now I'm home when
the power comes back on, I'm getting ready to go
to cricket, and I hear a smoke alarm start going
(01:17):
off in the.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Area and listening to the powers back on.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, so it's their house, right, And I give it
a couple of minutes, because you know, sometimes we accidentally
sent set our smoke alarms off if we're cooking or
something like that. But it continues, So I go out
and go across to them and start knocking on their
door to make see if they're home, and no one's answering.
But I can smell burning at the house, right, So
(01:42):
I'm freaking out, and I'm like, all right, so I
call the fire brigade, just you know, just in case,
because you don't want a house going up in flames.
Get in contact with the owner. I'm like, heads up,
I smell burning, the alarms going off. I've called the
fire brigade. I'll keep you posted, and the fire brigade
rock up, knock on the door. They've come home, and
(02:02):
I've gone back inside. While I'm waiting for the fire
brigade rock up. They've come home. So what happened was
they left a pot on their electric stove when the
power went out earlier that day, and.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Then it came back on.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It came back on.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
When they're out for a hole and has started burning
on the stove and set the alarms off.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Wouldn't you turn it off? Take the pot off? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So now I'm very stressed.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Now they forget but they're dangerously yeah, you know they're deadly, yes,
deadly neighbors?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes, God yes, So now I'm on edge.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I don't want these people living next to me. I reckon.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Susie's the Missus Jessip of her street. Missus jess.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's nice about missus fangle from neighbors from yeah to
a bit of a gossips gossip as well?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Is not a gossip.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
She she's across all the name everything. But yeah, everything
that's going on in the in the neighbours' lives. But
then again, in those circumstances, so would I absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Did the fiber going to say? What do they say?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They say it happens all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Your neighbors are not that unusual.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, but I was thinking, do you guys know anyone
that's forgetful like that?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Well, I've got maybe maybe one or two in the house,
but I'll just give them, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's that's that's yeah. You know, I'm terrible with names.
That's why I call everyone mate and g man. I
invented g man because all the time you're a great man,
great man? What's your name again?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Exactly? Exactly? Look, I mean one of the good things
technology is helping us out a little bit. Now. You
know how all the time the fridge door used to
get left open at least the beeps.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Now, yeah, that's true. So that has a little car doors.
Maybe we need that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Maybe maybe that actually some of them do.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't want a big note, but I have a
good friend. He runs up the stadium and he told
me that Adele is very forgetful, so much so that
when she came here to sing, she blanked out and
couldn't remember the lyrics to Rolling in the Deep, and
they had to google it up for her before she
went out and did it because she couldn't remember the lyrics.
(04:17):
This is true, Rolling in the Deep.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I've heard of that before from especially artists who have
got a long catalog, a long list of songs, and
they go, I can't remember the words to everyone. That's
why sometimes they just go they turn the microphone back
to the crowd, going you sing it, and then I
might jog my memory.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And in television there's been so many examples of it.
I've got a belcher here, do you want me to well?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I reckon? We will say this after the news it is.
It is one of the all time greats Tim Watson.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Then when he got caught on the news and he
forgot the name of the Melbourne coach. He actually forgot
the bloke's name. He threw to the break without the
Melbourne coach.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That happens when you're a deer in the headlights in
the media, Barry, you've got one of the all time
great media I don't know is it forgetful or just
a total brain fart moment.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think his brain just went to a spot it
shouldn't have gone to. It's so famous it still gets replayed.
It was replayed recently on the front bar and it
involves the great commentator Sandy Roberts. I knew very well
and worked with a Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And one of the great AFL commentators.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, it's just absolute genius he was. And basically he
was at the glen Burnie race Course in Mount Gambia
and he had Miss Australia with him, whose name was
LeAnn Dick, and he just pulled the wrong rain and
his life changed forever.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What could go wrong? Let's hear what he did with
Miss Australia. Let's go back what I wanted to show
you the clip and then ask you did you know
this would go on to become one of the most
famous bits of TV in its history. Thank you, Miss Australia.
Speaker 3 (05:57):

Land Cock and Land, I should say in Land.
Speaker 4 (06:02):

Speaker 1 (06:06):
If you can't remember the name, just go to the nearest.
Thing is what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's just a night as a TV person. It's yesternight, man.
I don't even know how he got out of the job.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Do you reckon? All the blood just drained from his
body in that instant when he really.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You have to start laughing at yourself. Well, it's the
only way.
