Speaker 1 (00:00):
Robin terial Kid on Brisbane's Kiss is ninety seven three.
Now number if you want to get involved with this
chat is thirteen one oh six y five.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, I'd really like it if people have their own
experiences with this. This is blown up on TikTok, and
there's been a couple of people posting in the last
few weeks, but this one is like taking the cake.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I will say. It's in America. Her voice is really annoying.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Okay, all right, so just get out of that.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
You just get over that, and I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But she's been on a flight and now she's talking
to us as she's walking through the airport and clearly
irritated by what went down tonight.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I not only got asked to give up my window
seat so that I could sit like in a metal seat,
but the quote unquote family that like asked me to
do this was a mother and her son. Her son
had to be a minimum of like sixteen or seventeen
years old. His mom says to me, like, hey, like,
(00:56):
would you mind switching so I could like sit with
my son?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I'm like, like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Where would you want me to switch to?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
She points to a.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Middle seat, like a couple of like rows back and
I'm like in a window and I was like, oh, hey, wait,
who's your son?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And then she points to this like six to five man.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
I said no.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I was like, look, I'm sorry, like I like paid
extra for the seat, Like I think I'm just going
to sit in the seat I paid for. This woman
under her breath for like the entirety of the flight
is just like muttering profanities at me, like was iron
the wrong here? Like I need someone to tell me as.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
I said, Okay, irritating, irritating, but she's I think that,
don't you reckon the thing for me is that she
paid extra for that seat, so she paid more, so
she went online, she did whatever she had to do
make sure she had that seat, so she shouldn't have
to give that up.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I think I probably agree with you because now now,
like you know, ten fifteen years ago plane travel, you
just got what you were given. Since they've started to
charge for extra addition or stuff, you have to be organized.
You can organize. You can to put your child next
to you even if they don't want to sit next
to you.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That can happen, but not being.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
Organized leads you much quickly, more quickly being pissed off
when it comes undone. If it was if it was
a leg room seat the guy six and a half
feet tall, fair call, yes, a bit more comfortable.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It wasn't even I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I mean seriously, you can organize it yourself. Put yourself
in a bolt head, but you know the butt head
seats at the top, at the front where you've got
the extended.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
Yeah, the poor guy, he's suffering. He's sixteen years old,
he's six and a half feet tall. He can have
his knees up around his chin. You try and help
him out. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I've had someone ask me.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I booked a flight came back from America, and I
made a point of being on the aisle. I like
to have your legs out there and stuff. And I
paid extra, booked it way early, made sure I got it,
and then I had the same thing. Someone at the
start of the flight said, do you mind if I
if I I had that seat so I can sit there,
and they offered me a middle.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I won't take the middle. I'm to do it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I was like, I'm sorry, I really went to a
lot of effort to get this seat.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
So yourself as well.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Had it's twelve hours. Just it's a big gift.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, No, And I think if you paid for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, then if someone if someone had off in fifty
bucks or one hundred bucks, would you have done it?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, No, I don't think because I went to such
effort to get it. I went early, I paid the money.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, but if someone said, here's one hundred bucks, I'll
get you a move in the case gone.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I'm more inclined.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Okay, I can't get the trolley with drinks down the
architect one's doing bartering system, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Burpngary, what do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
Hey, guys here, just want to go.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
He's gon to right, except someone's got our seat. You're
giving it up.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (03:45):
If I was in that position, I would have I
would have given it up because it's a family.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
You know.
Speaker 9 (03:50):
I haven't been on a plane before. I've never left Queensland.
But if it yeah, I've never left Queensland except when
I was little I went over to the new But
if it were me, I would give up. I would
give up the window seat. It's a curtiest thing to
do if you're on a plane. I mean, it's a family,
So if it were me or I would have given
up the seat.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Jesse, have you not you've not been into state on
a plane?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Have you not left Brisbane?
Speaker 9 (04:13):
Never never been into state? Like I've never been out
of Queensland. I've Dreaven the bar and babe, but I've
never been on a plane.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I want to put you on a plane. You feel
like the funnest human. Do you reckon? You'd be scared.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
I reckon.
Speaker 9 (04:25):
I'll be a little bit nervous, but I learn how
I reckon. I'll be okay, okay, just being clear.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
You went to New Zealand once, but you've never been
a plane. You swim?
Speaker 9 (04:35):
No, I was, I was only like six months old.
But I've never been on a plane ever.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Jesse, You're extraordinary. That is such a thing. Like do
you want to or you can't?
Speaker 9 (04:47):
Or I really want to? But I kind of thought
to I'm only a second year apprentice, so my boss
is probably listening to me right now on the radio
as we talk. Yeah, I'm only a second year of Penis.
It's hard for me to afford.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Mate, if you could flight in a state somewhere, is
there a mate, where would you.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Want to go?
Speaker 9 (05:07):

the coast of Western Australia and go fishing and camping,
and you know probably you know, go see my dad's
work rates and my dad works in Western Australia.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Your dad's in Western Australia.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
Yeah, he does two weeks on, two weeks off with
the firefight worker.
Speaker 2 (05:24):

day trip anywhere in Australia, because w A takes a
farewell like that's a sort of six hour flight, Like where.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Else go for a day trip? Yeah, I would want
to go That's that's that's a tough one.

I probably want to go to Cans and go snorkel
and on the Grape Barriya.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I feel like we need to get him out of
your state.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You've got to go to Sydney or Melbourne. You've got
to try and clout then, Jesse.
Speaker 9 (06:00):

an idea, Charles. We would like to we would like

already checked out the tickets. We can get him on
a flight at eight thirty to Sydney this morning. Terry
will pick him up, take him to the airport, yep,
and again. And it's just a day trip. You don't
have to worry about a com You can come back

Speaker 3 (09:16):
So we've decided to send him on a plane this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He's going to go to Sydney on Rex Airlines at
the eight thirty flights. Terry's left the studio. He's gone
to meet Jesse at the airport. But Jerry of Eaton's Hill,
you've just called through.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's going on.
Speaker 10 (09:30):
Morning, guys. Yeah, I've got two of my babies that
I work with at the Youth Development Foundation on their
first ever flight to Sdney this morning too.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So how old is that?
Speaker 10 (09:40):
They're twenty one? This is a dual celebration for them,
both never been out of Brisbane. Both full of anxiety, scared, nervous,
excited all at the same time. And I thought Jesse
can meet up with them and then he can be
the third blind mouse of the day.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So are they just going to the day too?
Speaker 10 (10:00):
They're down for the weekend, but I've spoken to them
and they're keen to tour around Circular Key with him today.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Fun are they going on? Rex? Do you know?
Speaker 10 (10:10):
Jerry? No, they're not flight Okay, okay, but yeah, they're
on their way to the airport too.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
All right, if.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The timing line's up, they can all share a car
from the airport when they get to Sydney.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Three little babies exploring and having the time of their lives.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Tess has gone out to the airport there. He's on
his way now, Jesse, where are you?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
I am on the highway? I am probably I'm going
to get there at seven twenty four, but I'm about
fifteen minutes LA from the airport.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Okay, excellent, And how are you feeling, mate? Are you excited?
Speaker 6 (10:46):

You guys are gems.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
You guys are so amazing, Like, well you thank you enough.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
No, well it's getting better, Jesse, because we've found out
that there are also two other people from Brisbane and
who are going to Sydney for the very first time
and they've never been on a plane either.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
They are Courtney and Holly.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Hey girls, So you guys, this is like, so your work,
this is what I'm gathering. Your work organized this for
you as a twenty first birthday present.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, along with my boyfriend's mom.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Bye, Hi, boyfriend's mom.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
What's your name, Margot? Time?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Are you going with the girls or are you just
dropping them?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
No, I've shadow them.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
You're going to have two nights, one the Vibe and
then Trenda Zoo the wild life resort, the viewing room
and the viewing room.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Oh how cool.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So Jesse needs to like Jesse today is going to
have a whirlwind, six hours of stuff to try and
pack in. So are you guys thinking you might be
able to hang out together and see things together?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Yeah, we think so.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Good Jess, you're no longer traveling alone.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But well we will put you guys together. I know
sadly you're not on the REX flight, but you're not
too far behind Jesse. So let's reconvene at the airport.
Let's get this stuff happening, and you guys are in
for an absolutely cracking days. You know how much I
(12:22):
love Rex Airlines and I'm their unofficial ambassador. And part
of the reason why I love them is A. We
can get him on a plane for eighty nine bucks
at eight thirty this morning, but b because when you
want help, you can go to the people. Now, this
is Leah from Rex. She's the national business development manager.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hey Leah, Hey Robin, how are you going. I'm excited
for little Jesus.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
We're so excited to have him on board as well
today with us.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know what, Leah, when we told him that he
could go, he asked whether he needed his passports.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So you would see that every day, I guess people
taking their very first flight.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Yeah, definitely, we get all kinds of passengers on Rex
and yeah, and we definitely look after all our passengers
with our warm country hospitality as well. So whether they're
first time flyers, their businessmen, Mom and dad popping to
Sydney for a weekend. Definitely.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
We have all types of passengers.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Okay, so can you look after him on this eight
thirty flight?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Definitely, we'll look after him. And like I said, like
we look after.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
All our passengers as well.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Okay, got to make him extra special, ye like, because
your host is are lovely and they do check in.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That's part of the reason why I like flying with you.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But little Jesse'll be the one probably bouncing out of
his seat with excitement.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Well, we've all been asked for them to have a
meet and greet at the at the gate and everything
like that. Lovely d they're looking after them before they
get on the aircraft and everything like that. And then
obviously when they walk down out the uh down the
bridge to the aircraft, then we'll have a lovely flight
attendant showing them to their feet, and I'm pretty sure
(14:07):
that they'll be very happy.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And Leah, how old is too old to go and
see the cockpit because he's eighteen?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Question of asking one about your flight attendants, they can
obviously check with the captain and see where the story is.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I just know how much I love Rex and I
love the fact that we can actually talk to you
and you can make this stuff happen for us. So
thank you so much. And Jesse, you'll be the little
fellow just absolutely jumping out of his skin.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
But we will talk to you soon.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
He will be We'll look out for him, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Thanks Leah.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And we've got plenty more ideas about what to do
in Sydney coming through as well. Matt was saying, get
on the ferry to Watson's Bay, have a pub lunch.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
That's a cool experience.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
When you're there, and yeah, vastly, what do you reckon?
What should Jesse do in Sydney?
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Oh, I don't know, He's just going to have an
amazing time. I remember as a child my dad took
my brother and I down and he went across on
the ferry over to Rongazoo with my brother and it
was just the best experience. And then we come back
and did Center Point Tower and the Opera House and
(15:20):
just everything was just so amazing seeing the big.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
City and this has turned into it.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
When I heard Jesse saying it was his first time,
you know, he'd never been on a plane, it just
brought tears to my eyes, thinking you guys were doing
this for him because you know, I've been trying to
organize something like this for my kids, and you guys
are just amazing to do this for him. Yeah, you
guys are just wonderful. Put on kids ninety seven to three.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I thank you are.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Lots of messages are coming through on our text line
as well.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Luna Park. Of course you can get sent a circular
key across to Milson's Point. Go to Luna Park. Lunch
at Iceberg's in Bondai.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Oh yeah, that Iceberg pretty cool spot.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't know that our you know, pocket money will
stretch that.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Get the chips.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We've yet to work out how much money we're actually
going to give him, but yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Keep all the ideas coming. We'd love to give him
a really great day.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We've just had the funnest morning making an eighteen year
old second year mechanical apprentice dreams come true. We're talking
about Jesse and we found out earlier this morning that
the Vlokes never really left Queensland, let alone being on
a plane.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
He was about to go to work. He's an apprentice mechanic.
He's about to go to work today.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
He's dressed in his boots.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He told us he's never been on a plane, and
we said, well, let's book tickets, let's get you to
the airport, let's send Terry, and Terry, I believe you've
you've done.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You've already gone through check in.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
We've already gone through check in down at Rex. They
whisked us through and Jesse the man is right here.
How you feeling, Jesse?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Hey, hey, Jesse, how did you deal with security because
you've never done that before.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
I don't know yet. We're still waiting.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
The big part of airport flyowing mate.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
I can tell you that for nothing.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Steel cap boots could be interesting. And there's a what's it?
You've got a massive city keys around your neck?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What do you need those for?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Got copies?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
All right?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Good?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Hey, hey Terry, if you's on the other idea we
had because of course, we want someone to film Jesse
when he's traveling and seeing all the sites that you're
you're jumping on this plane as well.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah, that happened.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
The lovely people that Rex turned to me and said,
and here's your ticket, mister hands, and thank you very much.
Now we're gonna have a heod of a time you
used to live in Sydney years ago. I've heard some
of the suggestions that people are coming up with. And
of course there's two girls flying to Sydney just to
meet Jesse.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Has that that's right.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We also.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
There's no pressure, Jesse. I think they're both taken as well.
But yeah, we met these two girls who are Henry Fortney. Yeah,
on their twenty first US just first flight as well.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So tell me about your girlfriend, Jesse, just so we
get to know your whole life.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
So my girlfriend's name is Layla Rowse Stevens. We've been
together for probably fifteen sixteen months now. We lived together. She's,
you know, love my life, a lot of so much.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Oh and with she stoke that you're getting on a plane,
Yeah she was.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
She was actually at work in the time. I was like, oh,
they're going to Sydney.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
I'm going to get as many photos as these other
two girls draped all over him and get in so
much trouble.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Guys, we're going to leave you because you're gonna have
to get to the gate and get on your REX flight.
But tees get heaps of photos.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
We want to hear all about it tomorrow morning.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
We'll do ready to go, Jesse.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Thanks you guys, very good see Jesse. Yeah, make sure
you follow our socials today as well.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
Because you're.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Talking to everyone else.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Jesse.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It's involved Terry and Kim on Dristone's cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's ninety seventy three.
Robin terial Kid on Brisbane's Kiss is ninety seven three.
Now number if you want to get involved with this
chat is thirteen one oh six y five.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, I'd really like it if people have their own
experiences with this. This is blown up on TikTok, and
there's been a couple of people posting in the last
few weeks, but this one is like taking the cake.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I will say. It's in America. Her voice is really annoying.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Okay, all right, so just get out of that.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
You just get over that, and I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But she's been on a flight and now she's talking
to us as she's walking through the airport and clearly
irritated by what went down tonight.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I not only got asked to give up my window
seat so that I could sit like in a metal seat,
but the quote unquote family that like asked me to
do this was a mother and her son. Her son
had to be a minimum of like sixteen or seventeen
years old. His mom says to me, like, hey, like,
(00:56):
would you mind switching so I could like sit with
my son?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I'm like, like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Where would you want me to switch to?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
She points to a.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Middle seat, like a couple of like rows back and
I'm like in a window and I was like, oh, hey, wait,
who's your son?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And then she points to this like six to five man.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
I said no.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I was like, look, I'm sorry, like I like paid
extra for the seat, Like I think I'm just going
to sit in the seat I paid for. This woman
under her breath for like the entirety of the flight
is just like muttering profanities at me, like was iron
the wrong here? Like I need someone to tell me as.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
I said, Okay, irritating, irritating, but she's I think that,
don't you reckon the thing for me is that she
paid extra for that seat, so she paid more, so
she went online, she did whatever she had to do
make sure she had that seat, so she shouldn't have
to give that up.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, I think I probably agree with you because now now,
like you know, ten fifteen years ago plane travel, you
just got what you were given. Since they've started to
charge for extra addition or stuff, you have to be organized.
You can organize. You can to put your child next
to you even if they don't want to sit next
to you.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That can happen, but not being.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
Organized leads you much quickly, more quickly being pissed off
when it comes undone. If it was if it was
a leg room seat the guy six and a half
feet tall, fair call, yes, a bit more comfortable.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It wasn't even I don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I mean seriously, you can organize it yourself. Put yourself
in a bolt head, but you know the butt head
seats at the top, at the front where you've got
the extended.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
Yeah, the poor guy, he's suffering. He's sixteen years old,
he's six and a half feet tall. He can have
his knees up around his chin. You try and help
him out. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I've had someone ask me.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I booked a flight came back from America, and I
made a point of being on the aisle. I like
to have your legs out there and stuff. And I
paid extra, booked it way early, made sure I got it,
and then I had the same thing. Someone at the
start of the flight said, do you mind if I
if I I had that seat so I can sit there,
and they offered me a middle.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I won't take the middle. I'm to do it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I was like, I'm sorry, I really went to a
lot of effort to get this seat.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
So yourself as well.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Had it's twelve hours. Just it's a big gift.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, No, And I think if you paid for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, then if someone if someone had off in fifty
bucks or one hundred bucks, would you have done it?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, No, I don't think because I went to such
effort to get it. I went early, I paid the money.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, but if someone said, here's one hundred bucks, I'll
get you a move in the case gone.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I'm more inclined.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Okay, I can't get the trolley with drinks down the
architect one's doing bartering system, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Burpngary, what do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
Hey, guys here, just want to go.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
He's gon to right, except someone's got our seat. You're
giving it up.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (03:45):
If I was in that position, I would have I
would have given it up because it's a family.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
You know.
Speaker 9 (03:50):
I haven't been on a plane before. I've never left Queensland.
But if it yeah, I've never left Queensland except when
I was little I went over to the new But
if it were me, I would give up. I would
give up the window seat. It's a curtiest thing to
do if you're on a plane. I mean, it's a family,
So if it were me or I would have given
up the seat.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Jesse, have you not you've not been into state on
a plane?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Have you not left Brisbane?
Speaker 9 (04:13):
Never never been into state? Like I've never been out
of Queensland. I've Dreaven the bar and babe, but I've
never been on a plane.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I want to put you on a plane. You feel
like the funnest human. Do you reckon? You'd be scared.
Speaker 10 (04:25):
I reckon.
Speaker 9 (04:25):
I'll be a little bit nervous, but I learn how
I reckon. I'll be okay, okay, just being clear.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
You went to New Zealand once, but you've never been
a plane. You swim?
Speaker 9 (04:35):
No, I was, I was only like six months old.
But I've never been on a plane ever.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Jesse, You're extraordinary. That is such a thing. Like do
you want to or you can't?
Speaker 9 (04:47):
Or I really want to? But I kind of thought
to I'm only a second year apprentice, so my boss
is probably listening to me right now on the radio
as we talk. Yeah, I'm only a second year of Penis.
It's hard for me to afford.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Mate, if you could flight in a state somewhere, is
there a mate, where would you.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Want to go?
Speaker 9 (05:07):
I'd want to go to Western Australia and go see
the coast of Western Australia and go fishing and camping,
and you know probably you know, go see my dad's
work rates and my dad works in Western Australia.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Your dad's in Western Australia.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
Yeah, he does two weeks on, two weeks off with
the firefight worker.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, so, but if you were to go on a
day trip anywhere in Australia, because w A takes a
farewell like that's a sort of six hour flight, Like where.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Else go for a day trip? Yeah, I would want
to go That's that's that's a tough one.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
I'd probably want to go to get a Cans, get
a Cans.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (05:45):
I probably want to go to Cans and go snorkel
and on the Grape Barriya.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I love that Jesse still doesn't leave Queensland.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I feel like we need to get him out of
your state.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You've got to go to Sydney or Melbourne. You've got
to try and clout then, Jesse.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Yeah, well, actually I'll go probably Sydney. I've only ever
been just over the border, like car, I probably want
to go to Sydney. I've heard Sydney's pretty nice.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We've got to get this. Yeah, you just about to text.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, and we'll make sure he gets a middle seat.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Screaming children hang around, Jesse, we're going to we're going
to work on this.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, you could kind of put you on a plane.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
How old are you now, Jesse, I'm eighteen. How cute
is that? Okay? What do you do for a living, Jess?

got him on the phone.

Yeah, Jess is clearly already. They're cleaning things up.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Is a workshop was on the way there?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Is the workshop itself that busy today? Charles got a
lot of work on.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
We've got to feel better on you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Could you miss Jesse for a day?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I can probably Well, that'd be unreal because we've got
an idea, Charles. We would like to we would like
to book Jesse on a flight this morning. We've we've
already checked out the tickets. We can get him on
a flight at eight thirty to Sydney this morning. Terry
will pick him up, take him to the airport, yep,
and again. And it's just a day trip. You don't
have to worry about a com You can come back
at five o'clock tonight, as long as you can give
(07:49):
him the day off.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Would that be all right, Charles?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yes, I can do so differently, I'll do that, okay, Jess.

Speaker 9 (08:33):
Airport, domestic terminal.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
So we've decided to send him on a plane this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He's going to go to Sydney on Rex Airlines at
the eight thirty flights. Terry's left the studio. He's gone
to meet Jesse at the airport. But Jerry of Eaton's Hill,
you've just called through.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's going on.
Speaker 10 (09:30):
Morning, guys. Yeah, I've got two of my babies that
I work with at the Youth Development Foundation on their
first ever flight to Sdney this morning too.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
So how old is that?
Speaker 10 (09:40):
They're twenty one? This is a dual celebration for them,
both never been out of Brisbane. Both full of anxiety, scared, nervous,
excited all at the same time. And I thought Jesse
can meet up with them and then he can be
the third blind mouse of the day.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So are they just going to the day too?
Speaker 10 (10:00):
They're down for the weekend, but I've spoken to them
and they're keen to tour around Circular Key with him today.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Fun are they going on? Rex? Do you know?
Speaker 10 (10:10):
Jerry? No, they're not flight Okay, okay, but yeah, they're
on their way to the airport too.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
All right, if.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
The timing line's up, they can all share a car
from the airport when they get to Sydney.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Three little babies exploring and having the time of their lives.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Tess has gone out to the airport there. He's on
his way now, Jesse, where are you?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
I am on the highway? I am probably I'm going
to get there at seven twenty four, but I'm about
fifteen minutes LA from the airport.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Okay, excellent, And how are you feeling, mate? Are you excited?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Mate?
Speaker 9 (10:46):

guys so much.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
You guys are gems.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
You guys are so amazing, Like, well you thank you enough.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
No, well it's getting better, Jesse, because we've found out
that there are also two other people from Brisbane and
who are going to Sydney for the very first time
and they've never been on a plane either.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
They are Courtney and Holly.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Hey girls, So you guys, this is like, so your work,
this is what I'm gathering. Your work organized this for
you as a twenty first birthday present.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, along with my boyfriend's mom.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Bye, Hi, boyfriend's mom.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
What's your name, Margot? Time?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Are you going with the girls or are you just
dropping them?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
No, I've shadow them.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
You're going to have two nights, one the Vibe and
then Trenda Zoo the wild life resort, the viewing room
and the viewing room.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Oh how cool.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So Jesse needs to like Jesse today is going to
have a whirlwind, six hours of stuff to try and
pack in. So are you guys thinking you might be
able to hang out together and see things together?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Yeah, we think so.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Good Jess, you're no longer traveling alone.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But well we will put you guys together. I know
sadly you're not on the REX flight, but you're not
too far behind Jesse. So let's reconvene at the airport.
Let's get this stuff happening, and you guys are in
for an absolutely cracking days. You know how much I
(12:22):
love Rex Airlines and I'm their unofficial ambassador. And part
of the reason why I love them is A. We
can get him on a plane for eighty nine bucks
at eight thirty this morning, but b because when you
want help, you can go to the people. Now, this
is Leah from Rex. She's the national business development manager.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hey Leah, Hey Robin, how are you going. I'm excited
for little Jesus.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
We're so excited to have him on board as well
today with us.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know what, Leah, when we told him that he
could go, he asked whether he needed his passports.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So you would see that every day, I guess people
taking their very first flight.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Yeah, definitely, we get all kinds of passengers on Rex
and yeah, and we definitely look after all our passengers
with our warm country hospitality as well. So whether they're
first time flyers, their businessmen, Mom and dad popping to
Sydney for a weekend. Definitely.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
We have all types of passengers.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Okay, so can you look after him on this eight
thirty flight?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Definitely, we'll look after him. And like I said, like
we look after.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
All our passengers as well.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Okay, got to make him extra special, ye like, because
your host is are lovely and they do check in.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That's part of the reason why I like flying with you.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But little Jesse'll be the one probably bouncing out of
his seat with excitement.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Well, we've all been asked for them to have a
meet and greet at the at the gate and everything
like that. Lovely d they're looking after them before they
get on the aircraft and everything like that. And then
obviously when they walk down out the uh down the
bridge to the aircraft, then we'll have a lovely flight
attendant showing them to their feet, and I'm pretty sure
(14:07):
that they'll be very happy.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And Leah, how old is too old to go and
see the cockpit because he's eighteen?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Question of asking one about your flight attendants, they can
obviously check with the captain and see where the story is.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I just know how much I love Rex and I
love the fact that we can actually talk to you
and you can make this stuff happen for us. So
thank you so much. And Jesse, you'll be the little
fellow just absolutely jumping out of his skin.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
But we will talk to you soon.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
He will be We'll look out for him, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Thanks Leah.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And we've got plenty more ideas about what to do
in Sydney coming through as well. Matt was saying, get
on the ferry to Watson's Bay, have a pub lunch.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
That's a cool experience.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
When you're there, and yeah, vastly, what do you reckon?
What should Jesse do in Sydney?
Speaker 11 (15:00):
Oh, I don't know, He's just going to have an
amazing time. I remember as a child my dad took
my brother and I down and he went across on
the ferry over to Rongazoo with my brother and it
was just the best experience. And then we come back
and did Center Point Tower and the Opera House and
(15:20):
just everything was just so amazing seeing the big.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
City and this has turned into it.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
When I heard Jesse saying it was his first time,
you know, he'd never been on a plane, it just
brought tears to my eyes, thinking you guys were doing
this for him because you know, I've been trying to
organize something like this for my kids, and you guys
are just amazing to do this for him. Yeah, you
guys are just wonderful. Put on kids ninety seven to three.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I thank you are.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Lots of messages are coming through on our text line
as well.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Luna Park. Of course you can get sent a circular
key across to Milson's Point. Go to Luna Park. Lunch
at Iceberg's in Bondai.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Oh yeah, that Iceberg pretty cool spot.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't know that our you know, pocket money will
stretch that.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Get the chips.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We've yet to work out how much money we're actually
going to give him, but yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Keep all the ideas coming. We'd love to give him
a really great day.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We've just had the funnest morning making an eighteen year
old second year mechanical apprentice dreams come true. We're talking
about Jesse and we found out earlier this morning that
the Vlokes never really left Queensland, let alone being on
a plane.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
He was about to go to work. He's an apprentice mechanic.
He's about to go to work today.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
He's dressed in his boots.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He told us he's never been on a plane, and
we said, well, let's book tickets, let's get you to
the airport, let's send Terry, and Terry, I believe you've
you've done.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You've already gone through check in.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
We've already gone through check in down at Rex. They
whisked us through and Jesse the man is right here.
How you feeling, Jesse?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
I can't wait.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Hey, hey, Jesse, how did you deal with security because
you've never done that before.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
I don't know yet. We're still waiting.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
The big part of airport flyowing mate.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
I can tell you that for nothing.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Steel cap boots could be interesting. And there's a what's it?
You've got a massive city keys around your neck?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What do you need those for?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Got copies?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
All right?
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Good?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Hey, hey Terry, if you's on the other idea we
had because of course, we want someone to film Jesse
when he's traveling and seeing all the sites that you're
you're jumping on this plane as well.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah, that happened.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
The lovely people that Rex turned to me and said,
and here's your ticket, mister hands, and thank you very much.
Now we're gonna have a heod of a time you
used to live in Sydney years ago. I've heard some
of the suggestions that people are coming up with. And
of course there's two girls flying to Sydney just to
meet Jesse.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Has that that's right.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We also.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
There's no pressure, Jesse. I think they're both taken as well.
But yeah, we met these two girls who are Henry Fortney. Yeah,
on their twenty first US just first flight as well.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So tell me about your girlfriend, Jesse, just so we
get to know your whole life.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
So my girlfriend's name is Layla Rowse Stevens. We've been
together for probably fifteen sixteen months now. We lived together. She's,
you know, love my life, a lot of so much.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Oh and with she stoke that you're getting on a plane,
Yeah she was.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
She was actually at work in the time. I was like, oh,
they're going to Sydney.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
