(00:35):
including yesterday's NRL Grand Final, Oscar Piastre getting slightly annoyed

Green was back bowling for WA at the Whacky yesterday. Well,
bigger than the NRL Grand Final last night, Bigger than
the AFL Grand Final last weekend. It's the Grand Final,

(00:55):
the season finale of Have You Been Paying Attention? It's
Tom Gleisner, Good morning Time, Good morning Russell. So season
thirteen finale. It all comes down to this tonight. Who's
playing who's on the panel.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Look, we've got some of our favorites back this evening.
Kitty Flannigan returns, Denise Scott, Chris Parker, a fabulous New
Zealand comedian we've had on a few times this year,
Ed Caveley, and of course.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Sampang Sampang, he's always there, he's going for life membership.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's a fixture. I think we call him well. Plus,
we have an international guest, quiz master, Rosie o'donald.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
You've got a big, incredible, very big name coming off
the bench tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yes, indeed, So Rosie has no idea what she's in for,
but really looking forward to exposing her to the show.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
But the confusion is half the fun. Let's face it,
exactly how did you land her? How did you manage
to get her on the panel tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't, I don't know. I think she's actually might
be out here doing a perhaps a tour. Usually usually
it's a tour album, you know, or record appearance, and
in this case it's a it's a tour.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You have other people who organize all these things. You
just you just you know, wrangle them all together once
you get them on the on the panel. So this
is this is the last one after thirteen thirteen seasons,
although we're figuring that we'll be back for season fourteen.
What do you what do you get up to when

(02:25):
the when the show is not on, you're just still,
you know, scouring the news for the next season.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Actually, that's interesting us on To be honest, I do
a real news detox for certainly for a couple of weeks,
because so much of my year is spent, as you say,
scouring the doom scrolling. I think the kid call it
just looking at the awful headline gets depress, doesn't it It?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Can it?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Can you get this in radio? So it is nice
to have it go a little bit cold turkey for
a few weeks. But but eventually I like to, you know,
keep keep in touch with what's happening. So no, I'll
stay in touch and look what we as in my
colleagues at Working Dog and I tend to use the
time we're not on air with have you been to
to work on other shows? Will? We'll always come up

(03:08):
with with something, whether it's a new TV series or
a film or some crazy notion.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Good good, always creating. That's what we like. So so
the big one tonight. You've got the big names.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I believe as a bit of a warm up, you're
going to you're going to give me a bit of
a quiz. So you're going to be checking if I've
been paying attention. Am I correct? There, I've been warned
by a producer you are.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Indeed, I'm back in you here, Russell. I know, I
know you'll ace this one. So with your hands firmly
on the.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Bather, think you're far more confident than me. But all right,
gone fire rely? Okay?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Well, Taylor Swift's latest album dropped on Friday. It's called
The Life of Our.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
NFL Footy Wag.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, whether I think it was an early title, it's
actually stink sequence.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
And I should know this because my daughter's a Swift
show girl.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
You have the points, so well done?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
All yes, right, there's one.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Here's a quote for your Russell. No Beardo's no fatties.
What organization am I talking about?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well, you're not talking about the radio organization, are you?
No fatties? I do believe that might have been mister
Vance talking about the US military? Am I correct?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Almost most of that? Yes, that was actually Pete Hesgeth, the.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Secretary Military advance would have backed him up, though surely.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
O Dvance was in the background nodding curiously. I think
we could safely say, all right, all right, now now
this is interesting for me, Russell. All year I've had
to precede this name, Aaron Patterson, with the alleged mushroom murderer.
But now I can just say, Aaron Patterson was back
in court last week. What was she doing there?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I had to duck back to pick up a recipe
book that she left behind.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Left a few plates. No, it was more of a
legal matter.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yes, of course she was there to appeal her sentence.
She's not happy with the outcome.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
You have, you have the points that all right. The
next the next Archbishop of Canterbury has just been announced.
What is unusual about the new appointment.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
They'll be wearing something new. They're replacing the big hat
with a cap.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Clothing is involved because this I don't think the Archbishop
of Canterby has ever worn would I say a dress before?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
No? No, but they will be Now it's a woman,
first time in hundreds hundreds of years.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Quite quite extraordined. All right, Let's let's make this our
final question, because you this will be a clean sheet
for you if you if you get this one righting.
There have been massive cues at Bunnings this week to
buy what nineteen dollar item?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Well, now it could be one of those new vegan
gluten free bun hot dogs that is a pretty expensive,
although I don't think the line is that big for those.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Look, I've been to Bunnings, Tom, and we're talking about
those bluey themed garden homes. Everyone wants one. Have you
got one going off?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I'll be lining up today. Hey Russell, you have you
based that You've got every question correct except.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I got jeth and advanced, but you know, hey, one
and the same.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
On a technicality. Otherwise a perfect record.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Thank you very much, Tom. I'm glad to have got
through with a perfect score. Mate. Good luck with the
season finale of season thirteen tonight, have a lot of fun.
I know you will have a nice break detos a
little bit and we look forward to seeing you back
next year for season fourteen on Channel ten.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Good on you, Thanks Russell.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Thanks Tom. Lisa's just phoning it in this morning. Good morning, Lisa.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Got to make it.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Sound likely, couldn't be bothered, no bother do you want
to just briefly explain to every everybody why you're not
sitting on the other side of the desk from me.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Here because I've been summoned.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh JD y, Yes, someone could be in trouble.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
But I had to make sure you're across all the
stuff anyway.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, okay, well that's good. So Lisa might be having
JD today, but we're still doing s.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Sure report on ninety six AIRM here.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
That was loud in my ear. I can't believe we've
been subjecting everyone who calls in. Sorry, I'm discovering it
from the other side.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I actually just pushed it up a little bit just
because I thought maybe you couldn't hear on the phone.
But there you go.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Listen. The big news, I guess is Taylor Swift breaking
records with her album The Life of a show Girl.
How has that gone down in your house? I know
you've got a swifty.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah. Well, actually my Swifty was away for the weekend,
so I was spared from it. But well, I know
I'm going to hear all about it.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's only a matter of time. And its first day
of release that sold two point seven million copies. It's
the fastest album in history to reach the milestone, This
will be Taylor's biggest week ever and the second largest
sales week for any album in the modern era since
tracking data began in nineteen ninety one. Be quiet, Joey,
if you heard that, that's my cat me hout. The
only larger sales week was ad ELL's album twenty five,

(08:24):
which sold three point three million copies in its first
week in twenty fifteen. Swifty's on track for a lot
more than that.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Wow once she needs the money.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
No I know. It also broke the record for biggest
vinyl sales week for any album and Nielsen history, with
one point two million sold on release day, and that
shatters the record set by her last album, The Taunted
Poets Department. She's in eight hundred and fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Just competing with her self, doubt she is.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, So the sales of the Life of a show
Girl will increase in the coming days. The album's final
first week sales number is expected to be announced on Monday.
You know, whatever you think of her, you got to
give credit where credits due.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh, absolutely, very popular. Absolutely, I won't be buying your copy,
but no, but I'm in the minority.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Your house boat. The other big story from across the
weekend was the Shawn did he Coombe sentence thinking of
four years did he held his head in his hands
and appeared to be stunned sentence.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Sorry, I was just going to say, did he did it?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Did he? It was? It was a sentence far less
than the life term he potentially faced at the start
of his sex trafficking conspiracy trial back in May, but
he still appeared shocked by the outcome. He had given
the judge a letter saying that he took full accountability
and responsibility for his actions. Well you can say that,
stating that he was a change man who would, if released,

(09:53):
devote himself to his family and community. I wonder if
I'll get a case that interesting today.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Well, I hope not.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Because and here's something that caught my eye this morning,
because you know, I was off last week and I've
just been in Melbourne drinking Melbourne coffee and this is
what Charlie Hannam had to say about the city's coffee.
Charlie is starring, you know, Charlie from Sons of Anarchy.
He's starring as Ed Dean in the latest Monsters series

(10:20):
on Netflix. This is from the crew that did the
Jeffrey Dharma series and the Menendez Brothers won. So he's
doing an Australian interview promoting the series and talking about
how Melbourne is one of his favorite cities in the
world except for one thing. He said, Melbourne coffee is terrible.
Well you can imagine Melbournian's reaction a.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Great deal of pearl klutchik.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
He said, I'm tired of people talking about their coffee.
I like a strong, punchy cup of dark roast black
coffee with a spoon will stand straight up. I think
your coffee sucks. It's like a lukewarm, milky coffee milkshake.
So this caught my attention, as I said, because I
was in Melbourne last week, but also in Adelaide for

(11:03):
a couple of days, and I have to say the
coffee in Adelaide was better than the coffee in Melbourne,
much much better, if I'm honest.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Well, i was in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago,
and I've got no complaints with the Adelaide coffee as
I don't have anything per and I have no complaints
with the Perth coffee either. Well, it depends on where
you go. But true.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
But I mean it pains me to say it because
I used to live in Melbourne and I was also
a big you know, order of their having the big
coffee snob and they're having the best coffee in the
country and I think they've lost their mantle definitely.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I've got a nice and espresso on the go
here in the studio, my little teeny tiny little coffee cup,
my little shot there, and I'm happy with that. I
don't need to go to Melbourne for a cup of coffee.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Nice.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, we're good. Well, wish me luck today for the
big jury duty and I'll I'll tell you what I
can tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh yes, of course, we're all very very legally bound.
But please don't end up. Don't end up on a
Diddy style case, because otherwise I could be here by
myself for a long long time.

Speaker 8 (12:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I will do my best.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
I don't think we have to style.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Okay, good, all right, Lisa, well mate, put on your
best dress and look look your best and good luck today.
Say okay, all right, Lisa sure getting ready for jury duty,
but still able to bring us the Shaw.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Report Lisa More Russell More podcast. Soon time for Barry's bits.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
When you've got to get work, you've got to get
into work Clubber. Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so
when you need it you can get it or check
out work clobber dot com dot agu. Welcome to a
new week and another title goes north.

Speaker 9 (12:51):
I know it's amazing Brisbane. They're officially title town, aren't there.
I know that's an American term, but the title town.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
They've taken the flag mantle for from every other city.

Speaker 9 (13:01):
I've won the AFL, the NRL and the NRL W
and the state of origin.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
You could throw that in as well. So basically they've won.

Speaker 9 (13:09):
The big two footy codes and they've still got the
Olympic Games.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
To come thirty two.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
I've got it all.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
It's INCREDI Rugby league, as they like to call it,
rugby league was the winner last night. The Broncos, led
by a twenty three year old Reese Walsh.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
You've seen this blug No.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I haven't, and I look, I've got to be honest
with you because I'm not a big NRL fan. I'm
waiting for the Bears to come in. When the Bears
come in, I was right behind it, but I did
see about the last eight minutes of the game last
night on TV and it was very nobody.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
Yeah, and Reese, he's an amazing looking bloke. They beat
the Melbourne Storm, of course, so Reese he won the medal.
His dad's Indigenous, his mum's a Maori, and he's a superstar.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
He just lit the stadium up.

Speaker 9 (13:53):
It was just incredible and I reckon there would have
been forty or fifty thousand Queenslanders. There wasn't there, and
they just came down in their masses and they started
right to the end.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's not a huge flight and you get a couple
of buses and a car pulling and next thing you know,
half the half the crowd as Queenslanders.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
We heard a great grab from Reese in the news
and they also made a comment on the podium when
he got his medal and at the end he said,
plumber out and he was referring to an incident. If
you're not a rugby leg person, you just think what
is going on referring to an incident?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Educate us all.

Speaker 9 (14:28):
Where he posted a photo of himself drinking water out
of his newly installed toilet.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I do remember that from a few weeks ago that
was pretty embarrassing. So weirdsing. You know this Teddy swims,
but I'm not familiar with his stuff, but I saw
a bit of his performance last night. I thought he
belted out T and T pretty well.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
It was bloody good.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
But the team would have been nice if you had
to bother to get out of his pajamas to come
and perform it.

Speaker 7 (14:54):
But then he had an interesting suit on.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
But was that a suit? Is the American?

Speaker 7 (15:00):
Anyway? That ac DC hit t NC it was bloody fantastic.

Speaker 9 (15:04):
It made me think that maybe Snoop Dogg should have
done something like T and T or Highway to Hell.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't reckon he would have had the voice for it.
That's the one thing I'll give to Teddy. You had
the voice to carry it off.

Speaker 9 (15:15):
Back in black, come out in a black tracksuit, or
come out in Angus's schoolboy outfit.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I don't think he's going to do that good.

Speaker 7 (15:24):
Angus's schoolboy tracksuits going to do that? Think about it, Snoop.

Speaker 9 (15:28):
Now, the Dockers Club Champion Awards Saturday night, second biggest
crowd in the Berswood Vicinity. There was sixty thousand options
for the blederslowunder that and they farewell Naty five and
Sonny Walters. It was very emotional, especially around Fife, who
is equal to Pav in my opinion as the greatest
Docker of all time. But now he goes out without
the thing that he desired the most, premiership and just

(15:50):
like Pav did so it's really hard. Sixteen years of
damage smashed himself up. He's a quick bit of what
he said.

Speaker 10 (15:57):
And finally to our members and fans, beautiful frea mental family,
thanks for your endless support and passion out. Time to
win a premiership will come, but in the meantime we've
become a great football club and that's something I'm incredibly
proud to belong to.

Speaker 9 (16:10):
And he had a lot to do with it. He
played a big, big part mate. He was unstoppable at
his prime. Two Brownlow Medals, Caleb's the wrong one. He's
third Doug Medal in a row.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Only the second to do that him and the Sydney boss.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
In the Pavlova, Andy Brayshaw. Second.

Speaker 9 (16:28):
He's come second for the third year in a row. Actually,
it'll be getting a bit frustrating. Other awards Rising Star
obviously Murphy Reid, the Beacon Award, Most Promising Young Player
Alex Pierce received the players a Player Award Players Player
Award for leading and uniting the team, and the Prancing
Pony Patrick Voss was named the Best Clubman. So putting

(16:49):
to bed, you know that some players maybe don't like
the way prance is around.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
They do, they love it, they love it.

Speaker 7 (16:54):
And then the sixty thousand optors touch over.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Actually I think it was six. Yeah, that was a
massive given the weather conditions too made.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
I was part of it.

Speaker 9 (17:04):
It was brilliant. The Harker not still the most fearsome
sight in world sport. Absolutely love it all Blacks too good.
Wallaby's beaten Australia's eleventh straight loss to the Kiwei's right,
and so we haven't beaten them since twenty twenty.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
Just beaten them full stop.

Speaker 9 (17:19):
And winning the Bledisloe Cup, you know, like because it's
a two games.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
Three games.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
How long's that boon? Ever?

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Guess when we last won.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I'm thinking probably sometime in the early two thousands.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Two thousand and two.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
It's only lazy twenty three years that we haven't won
the Ltusloe Cups, so.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Still time the Kiwis.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
There was a lot of Kiwi's that I had topped
us too.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
It was made.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
It was amazing. I didn't realize there's that many in birth.
It was great.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh there are Oh, there are sucks.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
I love sux sex cans.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Please, you're not listening closely enough. There are plenty of
keyweeds in birth.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
God on your world, blacks made.

Speaker 9 (17:56):
I wish Lisa was here because she'd be so angry
about or is angry she listening?

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Lese.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
How is the way Oscar Piashti was treated in the
Singapore Grand Prix.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I mean treated like he's been treated the last few races.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
Really, he's like the second cousin, you know, like George
Russell one. Max came second, Lando third, so the championship
lead of Oscars is cut to twenty two. They did
win the constructors title McLaren, which is a bit weird
because they couldn't really fully celebrate because Oscar not happy,
fuming and his team claiming the rules of engagement and

(18:29):
fairness had been abandoned. You know, he fell behind Lando
because Lando basically pushed it, almost pushed him into the wall.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
That was unbelievable. And do you reckon?

Speaker 9 (18:40):
The team said in the Lando nah, and actually turn
up you turn up your radios, ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, and have listened to the frustration of Oscar
talking on his radio to his team.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Listen to the ever listened to the tone in this communication.
No further action from the stewards.

Speaker 8 (18:56):
As a team, we can see Lando has to avoid
for stuff, so we won't take any action during the race.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
We can review further offwards. That's that's not fair. Oscar
will have the opportunity to review together afterwards.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Result there, Yeah, but if he has to avoid another
car by crushing in to his teammate, then that's a
pretty job of avoiding.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
Has to crash into his teammate to get through, And
do you.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Love him at the end of the race, I think, Zach,
you know, the team principal, Yeah, he congratulations, congratulations on
the constructors title and Oscar just goes bing hits the off.
But halfway through his sentence, I don't want to hear
from you mate to his own boss.

Speaker 9 (19:43):
Zach Brown and that Italian fella I don't know what
his name is, but he was carrying on too. I mean,
the Pommy commentator has even gone I like Johnson button,
but he was being biased as well, and it was
such a weird vibe because they're trying to celebrate the
constructor's title and they've got an angry Oscar Oscar the
gratch running around and they're trying to smoothed the water
I made. It was poor old Oscar. Anyway, let's say

(20:04):
he still wins. Afl w Eagles are flying. They beat
Collingwood yesterday.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I was a big win. What's there?

Speaker 7 (20:09):
They're now six?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Good crowd out at Lathlane time Yeah, yeah, good Lathtlane
Mineral Resources past Sorry sorry, sorry, I know you're a
perth man. You want to get the sponsor in.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
The sponsors happy now cricket whack it today? Just down
the road here if you want to go down. Day
three Sheffield, Shield w A and New South Wales. Cam
Green made a brilliant return after back surgery. Did his
first bit of bowling in over twelve months. Actually, do
you have the audio of that?

Speaker 7 (20:34):
Wicked? This is this is this is how it happened.

Speaker 11 (20:39):
Edged second Barley gets a wicket, fairy tale comeback for.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Cameron Green.

Speaker 11 (20:47):
Gets rid of Charlie Stobot had a wicket and he's
opening over for Green.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Goods that not a scriptured that any battle and worth
watching down there too, because as you were saying the
other day, this is all jostling for position. Yeah, for
the Ashes exactly, the Ashes team.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
So Bancroft and Constant are playing. They did themselves, no favors.
Constance got four, Bancroft got ten and the way he
got out it was unbelievable that they gave him out
court behind. Then the replay showed looked like the ball
hit the stumps, but the bail didn't fall off.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
So that was the nick.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
So he doesn't fall off.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
That's what's mate, the things that have happened to him
since paper Gate, Sam paper Gate, he's just been jinxed
on't so get to the whack and.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Should get together for a chat a wing together. Absolutely, Scout,
poor bugger, Yeah, absolutely, your brother.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
More of Lisa and Muscles podcast. It's on the way Suit.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Because had a bad day.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
You think you're having a bad day.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Come on, here's your chance to get it off your chest.
How bad a day. It doesn't have to have been
on a Monday. It could have been on a Sunday
or a Saturday, been last Friday, could have been any
day your bad news. Is it as bad as Spaniard
Leonel Ramerez Colado's day. Actually it was a couple of days.

(22:13):
Things went a little awry. On an evening boat trip
with friends. He became separated from a boat when he
went to retrieve a jet ski that had come loose
from the vessel. Pretty simple, you just drive the jet
ski back to shore. But the vehicle broke down and
then he was swept out to see on a jet
ski by himself for two days. Two days, so that's

(22:37):
not just a bad day, that is two bad days.
But then when they did finally find that's the good part.
They hauled him into shore and then that became a
very good day. Maybe you're having a real bad day
like a Melbourne storm supporter this morning, or maybe like
Oscar Piastre is having up in Singapore. Good morning, Annette

(22:59):
in Westminster, what kind of day are you having?

Speaker 12 (23:01):
Good morning, Russell?

Speaker 13 (23:03):
What for of a day?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (23:06):
No, So I went to drive my car and the
smell of fuel and I thought, no, that doesn't start
smell right, So I took it to get text over
and there's a pressure test on it. Found no problem
and said you'll be fine to drive it. Okay, come home.
So to drive the car again. You notice I have
an oil each the next day, so I thought, okay,

(23:27):
that's not good. Take it back.

Speaker 13 (23:31):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (23:31):
So the pressure test that they did for the fuel
caused a valve to pop and I ended up with
oil all over my motor. And it's going to cost
six hundreds.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Now no names, no company names here, but that is
just one thing after another.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
Yeah, not happy, not happy at all.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
So at the moment, what are we up to? We're
up to six hundred and sixty dollars? Did you say
to get it fixed?

Speaker 12 (24:00):
Six?

Speaker 13 (24:01):
Wow? Sixty?

Speaker 12 (24:04):
Serious? Three?

Speaker 13 (24:05):
Not good?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
And this is all happened in what kind of time frame.

Speaker 12 (24:11):
In the last two to three days?

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Well?

Speaker 12 (24:14):
Yeah, two three days. So now I have to be
careful driving it. I have to say to get it fixed,
so I have to keep checking the oil. So it
bought oil, but I was happy to know that a
company had the oil on a half price forty eight
forty three dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
We'll take it. We'll take the small wins, won't we
on it? We'll take the small wins. So you have
had just one bad day, You've had one too three
bad days, and hopefully hopefully no more to.

Speaker 12 (24:41):
Come, No please, no more.

Speaker 13 (24:45):
Make it.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
A lot of things change while you were overseas, mate,
one old blokeout and another one another one in.

Speaker 13 (25:35):
So my story is from my trip overseas. Okay, So I.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
Was trying to I was flying from Dublin to Heathrow
and I get up in the morning and I get
a message saying there's been.

Speaker 13 (25:51):
Technical issues that he throw you fight might be delayed.

Speaker 8 (25:55):
So I'm sitting there and about an hour later I
get the and a text message saying your phone, your
flight's been.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Canceled the fun of flying overseas. Mate.

Speaker 13 (26:06):
Yes, okay, but it gets better. It gets better, it
does get worse. So I get I get.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
Into airport, get into the checkout, and I stand in
the line how to check out, And next thing I
heard out the can all airport stuff and.

Speaker 13 (26:23):
Passages, please evacuate.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
The building, and I'm going no. So I get outside
and they're all pushing everyone away from the building. So
I thought, yeah, okay, this is a bomb scare. It's
got to be a bomb scare because they're just getting
everyone away from the building. So as it turns out,
it was a bomb scare. So two hours standing outside

(26:46):
Dublin on a typical Dublin day, which wasn't exactly warm.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
It's it's the place to be doing it, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
Yeah, And so then I get back. Of course, then
they let everybody back in when they've cleared it. They
had a bomb squad and everything show. After they've cleared it,
they let everyone back into the terminal. Of course, it's
utter chaos because people trying to check in everywhere. I
actually fortunately this was the only good bit that happened.
My flight was still going, so I got put in

(27:14):
the priority line to check in. So I got to that,
got on the plane, sitting there, I think, right, we're
going to go in now, and then the pilot goes, oh,
we just have to wait for a little while. There's
some passengers who his bags are on the plane, but
they're not on the plane.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh no, that one. Everyone hates that announcement.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
So we sat on the tar mark for about an
hour before they decided, no, we can't find these people.

Speaker 13 (27:38):
We'll just take their luggage off and way we go.
So four hours later I finally took off.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh my god, but you did eventually get to where
you were going. Huh.

Speaker 13 (27:46):
I eventually got there.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, there you go. That's better than That's better than
what happens to many people on their international flights. John,
thanks for sharing again. A lot of people I think
can relate can relate to that one. Karina, Good morning
of lake Land.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Good morning Russell. How are you?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
I'm very well, thank you. More to the point, how
are you.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Good?

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Now? I'm home?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
So what happened to you?

Speaker 6 (28:10):
Well, I thought I'd spore myself to the point of
going broke and go to Queensland to see an old
girlfriend just last week and a number of things went
wrong on the day with me flying from Perth.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
To Brisbane and a lot of.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Well no, this is actually a car story. By the
time I finally got my higher car sordered, it was
very late in the evening and I was driving out
the Stanthorpe which is about three hours west of Brisbane,
right and pitch black. I'm not familiar with the route.
I've got my Google Maps on my bone going on
and we've gone through a whole bunch of traffic in

(28:49):
what do you call it roadworks and just outside of Warwick,
and I'm behind this ut that's got this ensemble bed
in the back of it, and we finally get through
the road work. We hit one hundred k's. I'm thinking, wow,
I don't remember that looking like that. About half an
hour ago.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
You were getting nervous and.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
The mattress flew out about rolled across the road. And
if I didn't have this awesome, awesome higher car and
slam my brakes off and get off to the side
of the road. Luckily there were no trees or a ditch,
I probably would have rolled the car.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
It's always nerve wracking when you sit behind one of
those cars you think, I hope they've got that tied
down properly, because if they don't, there's going to be
a calamity. And I guess that nearly happened to you.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Yes, And there was another behind me, you know, we
were in farm country, saying there's some cuts everywhere, and
he slammed his brakes on it and actually stopped right
as he touched the mattress. And I'm on the side
of the road having a mini heart attack.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Absolutely, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
And literally packing my pants.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah. And did the people. Did the people realize that
they lost it? They just kept going. They're gonna have
a bad day too, aren't they.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Funny enough. I caught up with him just out just
before Stanthorpe, and the registrap that he had that held
the mattress in place was trailing about three minutes behind
the car with the buble.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Kick it up far mate, You might want to go
back and get your match.

Speaker 6 (30:14):
Because he might would have he might have started to
bush for it.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Oh no, Hey, thanks Karina. That's another story that I
think everybody can can relate to you, especially when you're
driving along behind a trailer or a uth or something
and they've got the load on the back and you go.

Speaker 7 (30:29):
Gee.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I hope they've got that tired M Russell ninety six
