hail damage money because we're expecting some small hail hopefully
when you talking small hale, how how small are we talking? Well?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Little? Probably small hale I think is like pea size, right,
But sometimes it can look like the ground's covered in
white because you might get a lot of it.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Can that do damage small hail? Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
It depends on the speed it's coming down at. That's
that's usually you know, how it's caught up in the storm.
Sometimes you'll just get a little shower of it. And
but I mean, yeah, the biggest stuff is the concerning stuff.

Well, yes, growing up and lately many many years ago,
and you're out in the bush, right and the hails
coming down. Well, we're out there with blankets, whatever we
can find to throw on the cars, because we never
had carports and garages out in the bush, and we
had lots of little dins, lots of damage yit. So

(01:30):
it doesn't matter how small it is. If it's coming down,
it's going to make a mess. But it did look
pretty when it was finished, like snow.

which I've tried to clean. Someone might throw that over
the bonnet of my mini which is waiting to be
toed away today.

No, I haven't. But I heard about Graham Kennedy who
had damage from coins.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
If you don't know who Graham Kennedy was, he was
the king of television in the sixties and the seventies.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Now he was King of Mumber when he was at
his popularity, right, and he was he was king of
Mumber and he was using his motorized desk to go
down Swanston Street or wherever it was. And he said,
the night before or the week before, he said, I'm
going to be King of Mumber in the parade and

(02:37):
I'd like you to shower me with money.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
They did, from about ten stories high. They threw money
out at him. It quickly got off the bloody motorized cart.
And I think he was down cover. There is a
true story.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
He'd be careful what he wished on Johnny.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, I reckon about to be shared by money if
you are, if there are a high rise building around you,
because you will sup at the consequences.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Worse than her.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I reckon if you drop, If you reckon, you drop
a twenty cent piece from the Empire State Building, it'll
go through your car.
