done this situation. I was put into a very awkward
situation yesterday. I went over to one of the more
expensive and pricey and beautiful parts of Melbourne, Albert Park.
Oh yeah, of course that's where they have that billionaire sport.
F one tickets go and sell today. Actually think at midday.
So if you work with a piston head like we
do on the team Lockie, he'll be doing no work

(00:51):
from midday. GA tickets go and sell midday Today. Biggest
is going to be the biggest Australian Grand Prix ever.
Next year the sport gets bigger and bigger and bigger
and they release some more tickets. But anyway, I want
to surprise my wife. She's a massive fan of Elizabeth
Gilbert and her new book came out yesterday and I
was ringing around old see if they had a copy,
and Avenue bookstores it's a brilliant chain of them. There's

(01:13):
one here in Richmond. They didn't have it, yeah, but
they did. The one in albert Park did. So I
went over to albert Park, got the book for her
to surprise her, and I thought, I'll have some breakfast,
some staffing now. So it's a gift for my wife
and a gift for Christy Boyd a listener. It serves
me right. So I wanted some chili scrambled eggs with
a side of bacon. Beautiful nice. I got to pay.

(01:36):
I didn't have the bacon. They charged me for the bacon.
What do you mean you didn't You didn't eat it,
or they didn't they didn't bring it. You didn't say
anything even at the time when you get bacon. I
have a real I have a real problem. Right. If
Sarah was star i'd ask her to say something, because
if you talked for a living, you do stand up
anywhere you jump up into that you won't even So

(01:58):
where's my bacon throne? Ass man? So I just skunked
out there, stopped. I thought, you've grown gotta go back
in and say something. But the listener was so kind.
They'd ask for a photo with me. I can't then go, hey,
I think you scam me. You're tickling my ego one hand,
and then you take your money out of my back pocket.

(02:19):
I don't think you do. Listen to the show, but
you tried that one the other day with you know,
Sampang or them Paint didn't get his posty for me
one sound but part cafe. Ah, it is a man thing.
YEA produce a tina at a cafe down the road

(02:40):
and they made this terrible coffee. It was actually foaming
up and curdl in this city. That's unheard and she's like,
send it back. I was like, possibly, possibly, and she
took it up for me to be even sounded English
when you said I couldn't possibly, that's how we sound.
It makes my blood run. I would apologize. I would
apologize for not having my own bacony. I'm sorry, I'm

(03:02):
sorry I even ordered it. I'm sorry to ask, I'm
sorry to have to I paid it. It wasn't cheap
amber part sign of bloody bacon? Am I paying for
the pig is And then like Christ, hating myself all day.
I was so annoyed. I didn't have the bulls to
go in going, hey, listen, you know you're obviously busy.
But I never got that bacon because then I thought
they might think that I was lying. And I hate

(03:23):
the bacon, and that's even worse that they were with it.
I met that English guy once and he what he does.
He goes around asking for a sign of bacon and
then he eats and goes I don't get many bacon.

frequent the gorse you do, Gorsey does I'm sorry to

(03:44):

you have gone back? It? Be honest right, If it
was a listener and they just asked for a photo
with you, would you go in and go paid twelve
dollars more for something good? No, it's all about timing
and it's all about how you bring the topic up.
Chris will do this, won't say anything, but he'll be
