Speaker 1 (00:28):
Producer Ria, what happened to these jeans you got from Korea?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, I bought these beautiful new Korean jeans, but they
were an ambitious 32. So I reckon I'm more of
a 33, 34, but I thought I would squeeze sort
of back into them when I got back from Korea. Sadly,
the opposite has happened. I've expanded in the waist and
they literally flung.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Off my pants. What, the buttons? Yeah, it was like...
Blew off.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
As I was getting ready for work, so I've had
to make a late pants switch, and I've been very
humbled by this development.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
All right, we're looking for your stories in about wardrobe
malfunctions on 135522. There is never, ever a good time
for something to split.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Tear, or rip.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I remember years ago, this security guard that worked at
one of London's maximum security guards, and he was on
a wing where it was lifers. And he was getting
in a tussle with one of the inmates. And they
went to the ground. And he said, the prison guard
uniforms are very tight. Suddenly, he's grappling with an actual killer.
(01:31):
And he said, they go to the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And all of a sudden, you hear this. And it's
his backside. It's his backside has actually. And he said.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
The inmate and him, just because they just start laughing.
It actually de-escalated the situation. He was like, please can
you go back in your cell? You split my pants.
He was like, I'm very sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Good morning, Hayley. This comes in from Hayley Melder. Christian,
I was heading out to local shops. I grabbed my
good pair of trackies. Only in Australia. They have, wait
for it, A good pair of trackies, the posh ones,
you know, for weddings and days in court. I grabbed
(02:18):
my good pair of trackies out fresh from the dryer
and hurriedly put them on whilst they were toasty warm.
Pulled down my shoes and off I went. When I
was in Coles in the cold cheese aisle, I was
unnaturally cold around my lower half.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I looked down.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Eventually, tomorrow, I discovered my dog had chewed the crutch
out of my pants.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Front to back. Oh, wow. Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
All around the old Dandenong Rangers. How very unfortunate. Hayley,
that is tough. Christian, at my wedding, this is from Alexis,
the photographer squatted down to take the obligatory shot of
the bridesmaids, only to stop dead and go bright red.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He had split his pants. Front to back.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh, no. You've got to take a knee. You're taking
a knee, aren't you?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
His wife had to help him back up. Poor guy.
Poor guy. But get the photos, won't you, there.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Christian, my brother was at a function wearing a brand
new suit. After a belly full of beer, he was
walking to get some maccas. Again, classy behaviour. He needed
to go bad. He saw a construction site with a port-a-loo.
He climbed the fence and... He completely ripped his pants
to pieces.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
At the barbed wire. But he made it to the toilet. Phew,
thank God. Mission accomplished. And then had to walk to
the cab rank to go home with no pants on. Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Who's getting that lucky customer? In fact, I'm retiring. It's
my last one. Lauren's on the line.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Good morning, Lauren. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Morning, Christian. How are you going?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I'm good, Lauren. I hope you're having a good morning. Now, Lauren,
what's your story?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It was about 10 years ago, and I'll never forget it.
It was a ripper, and it was a wedding. It
was my husband's friend's wedding, and I don't know what
it is, but it's something about the song from Pop Gun,
that loving feeling.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
We all know the one, yeah. It just brings.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Out something in men. I don't know what it is,
but when it comes on, they all get together on
the dance floor, as many men would know, after a
few beers, and they're arm in arm singing and dancing
to this song. And there was one gentleman in particular
that was extremely enthusiastic. And was in full character and
(04:43):
was holding the pretend microphone, jumping up on, you know,
the stage and then back down again. And then right
at the end of the song, went into the middle
of the circle with a full like slide on his
knees into the center and ripped his pants again.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, we didn't see, Mav did not do that. Unfortunately
for a lot of women and men, Mav did not
do that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We were all in shock and horror and laughing and crying.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It's a power finish, though. It's a power finish. He
should have bowed like, oh, it's meant to happen. Practicing
that for weeks.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
And he calmly just got himself up. walked off the
dance floor.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Didn't say a single word to anybody. Just exited the building.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, of course he did. And never to be seen since.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Incorrect.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Incorrect. He actually, we found out later, he called his mum.
He called his mum?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Oh, me. My fancy is split. He called his mum.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
He said, Mom, my suit's ripped. You need to take
me back to the hired suit shop, which was down
the road. It was an afternoon wedding. They were open.
He went to the suit shop, got fitted out with
a new suit, and returned back to the wedding back
on the dance floor.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Wow. Second round of applause for this show today. We're
starting a trend now. That is good behavior, just like
it never happened. Lauren, thank you very much for your story, man.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Have a good day. Thanks for calling the show. You too.
