Speaker 4 (02:15):
Okay, I feel.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Like the diagonal is a lot classier than the straight
down the brutish.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yes, yes, yeah, I've got someone here. What's your useless superpower?

Actually we'll be test listeners who say that they can

about whatever they do. No no hesitation, no pausing. You've

you think you could talk about with no preparation for
(03:20):
ten minutes? We're going to put sixty seconds on the
clock and try and see if you can keep going.
Right now, we're looking for your alternative census questions. We
could be asking the nation questions like do you prefer
meat pies or sausage rolls?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Sausage draws controversial?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
H I think me pie? Yeah, definitely?
Speaker 4 (03:39):

Speaker 1 (03:55):
You watched me nineteen seventies movies Mary Poppins, Christian A
question for the censors. This is a great one from Linda,
window or aisle seat on a plane.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Window or I would go, I like to get up
and walk around like a window.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah. Is that because you always sleep on it?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
No, just because it's it feels further away from all
the great unwashed plane like you can kind.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Of just.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Great. So you mean I'd just like to be humanity.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
It's far apart from people on a plane as possible.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Just like it the whole team this went.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It's like, don't touch my leg, don't do not brush
my hand, just stay away of me. Peasant hair.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh my god, I just get my bb mask going
forced to fly wrecks.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Feel like I've got more space.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Okay, what of the great Unwashed?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Got to say?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
If we speach the great unwashed? Well, part of the
Great Unwashed.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
All right now, one of the questions I want thinking about,
what could you speak about for ten minutes with zero
preparation and intern Pete said straight away airline point Systems.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That right, Pete, Yeah, Airline Point Systems absolutely love it.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
All right, I've got sixty seconds on the clock.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Do you know what I understand this?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Can I just premise by saying if I if you
don't understand anything, feel free to pipe in quickly because
there is a lot of information when it comes to I've.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Got a friend of mine who hacks this system, probably
like you then, Pete, and gets free flights everywhere. I
don't even know how he does it. Wow, yeh, it's
a big thing that most people don't know about.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
This is going to be my forward cellar.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
At the end, I'm going to tell you how I've
never paid for a flight for almost fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh ever, full stop?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
What yeah, yeah, this is similar to my friend. I
don't know what they do.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of different ways to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's got an attention now. And to tell you who's
also listened to this right now? The great unwashed?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
They are.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
So nobody sitting.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
There I please, if you ever want to play next
to Patsy, make sure you start mouth breathing all over.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Please.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Dang all right, Pete, your time starts now.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
In Australia, there's two main apps you need. One is
the Coals app. One is the woolworth app. Coals is
connected to fly Bys, which is connected to Velocity via
Virgin Australia.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Woolworths is connected to Quantas.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So anytime you are shopping at any supermarket whatsoever, they
connect to those airline points. You need to go on
those apps regularly and you need to boost the sales
that they've got on there. So if you want a
bunch of coriander, they might have triple points. This is
where these things start really adding up. But the key
thing in life is to be on the social committee
in any workplace. Be on the social committee when they
(06:51):
had the big barbecues once a month, or events, or
it is you cash in on the.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Groceries that are brought.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The reason why I say this is so important this
is insert this into your football clubs, any clubs you're
involving in right And the reason why I did this
because at AARN we have over seventy radio stations, which
meant on stage we had seventy different wool Worse accounts.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I put my rewards account number on all of those.
We haven't paid for flight for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
However, I did get undone about a year ago, and
now I can no longer put the.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Did commit fraud?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I mean incredible, you already did nail it with no
preparation first or that is so interesting?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, honestly, the key is really be the guy that
goes and gets the supermarket when there's got to be
bowl corners.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Is identity fraud.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
In the details?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Wow, we your're you know what you are? Your your
point maxing?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, thank you, will so many more tips. I could
do a podcast on this all day. I reckon one day. Honestly,
