Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Will M. Woody podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
In His Will and What He What have you seen
a boomer break in anger?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It's just for me.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
One of the great joys of life is watching somebody
over the age of sixty thrash something about because they're
frustrated with it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Old people beautifully unafraid.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
To break things when they're angry at them as well.
It's a lost art as far as I'm concerned. The
rock stars don't smash guitars anymore. Woods they used to.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It was great. It was a great bed. It was
a great bed.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So we've got healthier dealing with our emotions these days.
But the boomers have held onto the I don't like
dealing with emotions, so I just smashed it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I want to take it out on an animate object.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
It's more entertaining to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So I've got a great story here, I thirtend one
and six five years a story about it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
A boomer breaking something in anger.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I've got a great story here about and this guy,
by the way, before I go into the story, the
guy that we're talking about, he was on the council
of this this Midwest town. Right This seven year old
girl takes her drone for a flight. I think she
gets a drone for her birthday, beautiful sunny day. She's nowhere,
you know, I think, you know, she might have got
(01:13):
the gift from charity. I imagine she's an orphan. She's
flying the drone out, you know, just enjoying the sunshine,
when all of a sudden, the drone takes two twenty
two shotguns.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Got shot down. Her drone got shot down.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
She manages to fly the drone back to her house, amazing,
but it's badly damaged.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's been hit by a shotgun. Yeah, yeah, Anyway, they
do a little bit of a.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Got the footage.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They do a little bit of a scope of the area,
and they find they find this guy, Peter, who's, as
I said, he is a shy counselor.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Peter. They find him, They find him.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They go to his gun cabinet. There's two two live
twenty two caliber rounds which have been shot very recently.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
What do you reckon Peter was doing in his backyard to
be so embarrassed that he had to shoot down the drunk.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's in the Midwest of America, made I reckon, that's
just what they call a nice afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So he's sitting out there with his gun.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And it turns out he shot the drone shot out
of this Yeah, great shot.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
He went on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He went to court for it, and he said that
he was authorized to shoot pests, not bad, which is
a classic boom of defense, I imagine, because let's face it,
all boomers treat drones as pests and they will never
understand that. But that doesn't mean that you can shoot
it with a gun. So, as I said, I do
(02:41):
think there's a wonderful stories if you've got a good
one that comes to mind. My year four teacher, Missus Smith,
she she good cover.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
She once.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I remember the day that she she threw a printer
across the classroom, one of those old school lad printers.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah four, that's twenty five, thirty years ago, So that's
that's a whopper, big printer.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah yeah, strong.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Old school laser. Yet ye here's the trunch ball.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And she ripped the cord out of the wall, right,
came with it, Yeah, came with it.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Caught at all. That's always funny.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, I think the court, Yeah, the cord would have
stopped it a little bit, but she frisbee this thing
straight at Tallly Thompson's head and lucky he darked because
it shattered.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
On the wall behind him. She threw a printer at
a kid.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Would have killed him. Thirty six fine her up there.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I can't actually remember. I think it was because he
mispronounced the word ute. He said, oh, track a printer
at him. That's actually exactly what it was. She'd been
trying to get him say ute for the whole year.
But I feel like your dad would have broken a
few things in anger Woods.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That surprisingly controlled with.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I think that is such a tight er, honestly, like
he just overthinks like I couldn't possibly do any damage
to the house because quite because you're right, like dad,
Dad seems like the kind of person that I.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Think, Yeah, absolutely, he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I feel like it's going to be a classic Dad topic.
So thirty what it's excited if you have got more
calls like this, But your dad, let's just get to
the story here.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Time six pm, watching TV decided to get up with
the phone.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Out of the wall.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Think a good old tosh to learn line phones sling
across the room, going off his head and then yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It stand And I'm so glad we came back for
that given, because that, I mean, what does a boomer
broken and anger?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Really?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What you got is your excell It was my.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Ex husband and he couldn't get the lawnmower started, so
he took took a hammer to it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Particularly lawn mowers very very susceptible.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
It's not starting. Sorry give you this, Julie, like, so
hammer v.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Lawnmark.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Because the other thing which I find very funny about
Boomer's cracking it and trying to break things is when
they go to break it and they fail, they don't
realize how strong the lawnmowers. Like, did he beat the lawnmower, Julie?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
He did?
Speaker 9 (05:30):
He beat it really hard.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
And the funniest part was I could hear the man
next door trying to start his lawnmower, and of course
that I've put my head out the door and I've
just said to him, I love I think the man
next door needs to bury your hammer.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Julie good, I did, Julie under you know one together
Lisa on thirty when five.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I love these just women just dobbing in their husbands. Lisa,
what did a boom of breaking anger?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:03):
So My husband's really competitive at golf and went through
a stage where he just couldn't handle losing against his
best mates, so every time he lost or wasn't happy
with his score, he would snap a club. My son
also works at the local club where my husband plays,
(06:24):
so I got him to organize that next time, they
went in a group to ban my husband from playing
because I'm sick. Well, we're all sick of having to
pay for your clubs.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Brilliant, brilliant. How'd that go, Lisa?
Speaker 10 (06:36):
It was a bit of a joke, so they ended
up letting him on. But yeah, everyone got involved in it,
just to teach him a lesson of bad sportsmanship.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, good lesson, Lisa, to snap a golf club over here.
It's pretty impressive, right. I would have thought maybe with
the carbon fiber ones.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It might be easier.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, potentially.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Gilmour and the big guy, Yeah yeah, yeah, that looks tough, Vicky, Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think there are.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Lightweight these days.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Vicky.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Well, if I'm a boomer, this is you.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I've broken a lot of things in anger, but technology
that where's missing. I just can't my fingers as small
as what I am.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I pressed the wrong buttons.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
I've smashed so many phones, but I took to having
a plate smashing cuppet, and I've got it near my
back door.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And what I do is I go.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
To a lot of op shops by oppold plate just
to smash. And when I'm really having a day, I
stand at the back door, open it up and I
smash as many as I but then later on I
got to go and pick them all up. So it's
(08:05):
one of those things that you just can't keep thinging
head against.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
The wall until you keep bleeding.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
You know, you just got to keep trying.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I guess plate smashing cupboard get his right. Every time
that you get frustrated with your phone, you go to
a cupboard next to your back door full of plates
and you smash your plate.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Phone, kids, anything.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yesterday you made me make a call to a cafe
and try and get a refund because I'd burn my
tongue on a hot coffee.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, good bit, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Succeeded.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Maybe you can come in and if I recognize your
then we can do a refund.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
All right, cool, I'll come down now.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yeah, perfect, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You're coming down. Yeah, you better believe it. Yeah, yeah,
we'll be down there by the way.
Speaker 11 (09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, So if you do burn your tongue on a
coffee that is refundable according to that capital.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, that guy I think was particularly nice. Anyway, it
wasn't a nice call to make fame feel weird. And
you know, as someone who avoids confrontation, which is you,
I think you making a similar call would be really
difficult for you.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
That's not how this works.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Taking it all the battering ram, yeah, I know, and
I am I'm the sensitive duck behind.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I'm just trying to sensitive duck duck.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, a duck goose.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Right now, I've got a refund call for you to make.
And keep in mind everyone what he really does, professionally
avoid confrontation to the point where you will drive hundreds
of kilometers out of your way, you will forfeit hundreds
of dollars, you'll end up dating someone for two years
you don't even like.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Now, I won't agree with that one, but potentially, hypothetically
I might do that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So right now, you're gonna call a cinema like cinemas,
and you're going to tell them that you bought a
box of Maltesers, but one of them rolled under the
chair and you couldn't find it. Yep, Now you would
like your Cinnama ticket refund it.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
My whole cinema ticket, not just the Maltesers.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So the whole cinema tickets.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Oh my, that that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 12 (10:19):
No, hello, this is litter cinemas. How can I help
you today?
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I I was at your cinema last night. M and
I just had a couple of comments to make about
my experience last night.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
Yeah. Absolutely, I can definitely take note of them.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Amazing, that's great. So look, so I saw a black bag, okay, Yeah,
and I paired.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
My movie experience with a box of Maltesers, yes, okay,
which was great. Obviously everything was going well. Unfortunately I
was startled by a part of the film and some
Malteses fell out of the box and okay, and that
has rolled under the seat. I obviously didn't want to
(11:09):
leave the Malteses just on the floor of the cinema,
so I ended up on my hands and knees looking
for the Maltesers. And it took obviously a very very
long time. I didn't want to disturb anyone by putting
my phone light on or anything.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I was, of course in the dark.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So look, I ended up being down there for forty
to forty five minutes effectively looking for these maltesers that
fell out of the box. And if I'm being honest,
because I didn't want to disturb any of the other patrons,
I just missed like the back half of the movie. Okay,
I guess what I'm trying to say is I just
(11:44):
really appreciate a refund if that's okay.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So I only really saw the first half.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Of the movie, it's right, okay.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
So unfortunately I can't really process refunds here on our
system over the phone, but if you go through our website,
you just put in everything you've just told me that
I'll get sent to our managers on shift and they'll
be able to go through that. I'm not being unreasonable,
am I I think something like that I wouldn't actually
be too sure about. Okay, I'm not really too sure
(12:14):
because the managers usually handle the refunds, but it's absolutely
worth a try.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, let's just live in the world where you are
the manager. What would you say to that if you
if you did have the power to give a refund.
What would do you think is reasonable here?
Speaker 12 (12:26):
So if it was me, I don't know if I
would approve the refund, but we are usually more than
happy to give out ticket vouchers instead. I imagine that
would definitely be an option to just get a ticket
on the house.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, because actually, well I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the
movie again because I did miss the back half. What
if I do you think maybe a good idea to
shoot for movie voucher and another box of Malteezers.
Speaker 12 (12:51):
I mean, I respect the hustle. I said go for
everything you can get, but I don't know how that
would go. But I mean absolutely we're to try.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay, with your experience working, there is there something else
I should go for?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hustler to hustler.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
I mean that would probably be as far as they
might go.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You don't need to explain anymore, mate, Hey, this is
my name is Will. This is what he We're calling
from a radio station.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Oh brilliant.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I think you handled that incredibly well. I'm not sure
if you gave me your name. What was your name name?
Speaker 12 (13:22):
My name is Klee.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I feel like I was being completely unreasonable, but I
think you don't want a job in if if the
cinea moroover gets tired, you should move into hostage negotiation.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Because that was a master class.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
Brilliant. I'm glad it's upward mobility.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Then.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, I like you said that you respect the hustle.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
But if I was the manager, no.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I wouldn't, mate.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Honestly, you need to get into defending claims for insurance companies.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
We're just talking about it. You you were masterful.
Speaker 12 (13:57):
Oh, brilliant. I'm glad to hear.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
What are you planning on being in the future. What's
the trajectory?
Speaker 10 (14:02):
Oh, that is.
Speaker 12 (14:03):
A fantastic question. I have no idea. We'll see where
life takes it.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I don't think it's too much of a stress to
say Prime Minister there, Kyle, Yeah, I would vote for you.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I want to vote for you.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
Hey, I like it. Flattery won't give you refunds, but I.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Definitely Which post did you take down too late?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So it could be a comment, could be a caption,
could be the whole video or photo. So justin bieber
Like he posted about Hailey, his wife, being on the
cover of Vogue and basically said in the caption that
he told Hailey that she would never be on the
cover of Vogue. So anyway, people are saying, like, why
(14:45):
do you make it about yourself? Blah blah, offending. You know,
you've been a backlash, a bit of backlash, and naturally
he took the post down and then reposted it with
just a whole bunch of emojis, which is much safer.
But it's too late. The world's seen it. Let's go
to Tiff here, Tiff, watch your story.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
Well, I was out with a friend on Australia Day
one year and I used to compete for Australia myself.
I was out having a few drinks and my friend
posted a photo of me with a drink in my hand,
and it was at the time we were competing in
in Pete training. Anyways, the team contacted me with it
(15:21):
about five minutes and said, get that post down or
we're kicking you off the team.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
What were you competing in, Tiff? If you don't mind
me swimming swimming?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeh?
Speaker 5 (15:32):

Speaker 13 (15:34):
You might do?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
What's your last name? Tiff?
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Thomas Kane.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Names dropped the name that the Penny has dropped for me,
Struth almighty, So like he didn't get kicked off the
team TIV like.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Truth almighty. All right, let's go to Lauren here.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Now you accidentally posted something took it down too late?
Speaker 13 (15:56):
Yes, boys, I got myself in big trouble.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Okay, we'll have Lauren.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
So my brother and sister in law were having the
first grandchild in the family. So you know, I went
in and met the baby.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
We got photos.
Speaker 13 (16:12):
It was a big deal. Anyway, Later that day I
posted a photo saying congratulations, it's so exciting.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Later on, maybe five.
Speaker 13 (16:24):
Ten minutes later, I get a text from my brother saying,
take that post down. Some of them we haven't announced
it yet.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Oh yes, who daisy taking away their moment a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You would have got the likes though, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, yeah, you got the hit. Well that's probably what
they're angry about it, like the hits.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Taking the hits. Let's go to Shelley here. Shelley, what
did you post and take down too late?
Speaker 12 (16:57):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Guys, I have an absolute shocker around a cruise boat
and I bought my daughter, who was about ten at
the time, this beautiful new dressing gown. Anyway, I got
out of the shower and I just had my underwear on,
and I took a picture of her in a new
dressing gown, thinking, oh, doesn't she look beautiful, not realizing
that behind the bed that she was lying on was
(17:17):
all mirrors. So I posted this picture of my daughter
looking gorgeous and me in the background in my underwear.
But now it gets better. We're out to see for
two days there's no coverage. All the people that really
cared about because I got some nice text saying, yeah,
might like get into the edit that fat ay, you
(17:39):
know you can see your underwear. I've got other friends
saying you can see your nickas take it. So when
we did pull up pull up again on the boat
and I had coverage again, my phone and my husband's
phone just like went out of control. Messages say.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
There was a shaker, Oh Shelley, yeah we have you
with how you look?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Those I mean, at the end of the.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Day, I'm just so grateful I had underwear on. But
the funniest.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Thing, feel good story of the day, Mariah Carey.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
We had to know whether.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
There's this is born from any sense of legitimacy given
and how I know how jaded and largely pessimistic she is.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
This might just be a good pastime.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But she she has crashed her thirteen year old son's
live twitch stream.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Sounds like a real moment, sounds like a real organic
was she was?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
She was?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
She doled up. You better believe it.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
A little less organic all of a sudden, I believe it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So he's doing he's on twitch. I don't know what
twitch is? What's twitch?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
An aleast?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It's a gaming streaming.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Whoa look at you?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
You can watch people game. It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, it sounds a bit strange, but you should try it. Yeah,
we're talking about a thirteen year old boy. Anyway, So
he's on there.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
You are.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So he's on there doing his twitch thing. She jumps
on and quote leaves him hilariously mortified. What a combination
to be hilariously mortified. Anyway, So she does that, Everyone's like, Maria.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Want a mom.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
She starts singing, jumped down there, did a bit of
a bit, A little bit?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Is that whistle a bit? I don't think she did?
But very cute. Okay, So what I want to do
right now? I find it quite hard.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Your parents only interrupt you, I find as a kid,
if you've done something naughty or if you embarrass them.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, she might get a kick under the table.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yes, they go stop talking.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
So what I want to do right now, I've got
kids to call, and I want to see if they
can get Can they embarrass their parents to the point
where their parents interrupt them?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Great, So we've got Maya here, Hi Maya, Bhi Maya.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
How old are you?
Speaker 14 (19:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You're eight years old?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, So now I did say there was a rise before,
so I should probably be true to my word. Here Mia,
if you managed to say something about your mom so
embarrassing that she interrupts you, I will give you a
two hundred dollars strike bowling voucher.
Speaker 14 (20:13):
Okay, this morning, my mom is the loudest fever and
it stank like my dad's shoes. And they did not.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Know then what happened? Then what happened then Maya?
Speaker 14 (20:30):
And then well I know he passed out, to be honest.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Very good shoes.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So you've jumped in there, mum. But was there is
there truth to this? Mum?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well?
Speaker 10 (20:44):
The fart maybe, but the smell no way, Dug dug.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Like that is bad? Strike bowling with your friends? Just
embarrassing your mom?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This is this is good.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
It smells like dad's shoes straight for the parts.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's good day, Daisy. How old are you Hi?
Speaker 11 (21:03):
I'm thirteen.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, Daisy, You think you can say something so embarrassing
about your mum?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
The chill interrupt you.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Yes, well, my mom's really blind.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
One time she thought a box of chlorine was my
cat of chlorine?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Like a cardboard box?
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Did she pat it?
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Like?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Was she patting the box?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
She was speaking to it in like a baby's voice.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
No.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Why, No,
The Will M. Woody podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
In His Will and What He What have you seen
a boomer break in anger?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It's just for me.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
One of the great joys of life is watching somebody
over the age of sixty thrash something about because they're
frustrated with it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Old people beautifully unafraid.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
To break things when they're angry at them as well.
It's a lost art as far as I'm concerned. The
rock stars don't smash guitars anymore. Woods they used to.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It was great. It was a great bed. It was
a great bed.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
So we've got healthier dealing with our emotions these days.
But the boomers have held onto the I don't like
dealing with emotions, so I just smashed it.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I want to take it out on an animate object.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
It's more entertaining to watch.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So I've got a great story here, I thirtend one
and six five years a story about it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
A boomer breaking something in anger.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I've got a great story here about and this guy,
by the way, before I go into the story, the
guy that we're talking about, he was on the council
of this this Midwest town. Right This seven year old
girl takes her drone for a flight. I think she
gets a drone for her birthday, beautiful sunny day. She's nowhere,
you know, I think, you know, she might have got
(01:13):
the gift from charity. I imagine she's an orphan. She's
flying the drone out, you know, just enjoying the sunshine,
when all of a sudden, the drone takes two twenty
two shotguns.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Got shot down. Her drone got shot down.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
She manages to fly the drone back to her house, amazing,
but it's badly damaged.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's been hit by a shotgun. Yeah, yeah, Anyway, they
do a little bit of a.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Got the footage.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They do a little bit of a scope of the area,
and they find they find this guy, Peter, who's, as
I said, he is a shy counselor.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Peter. They find him, They find him.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They go to his gun cabinet. There's two two live
twenty two caliber rounds which have been shot very recently.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
What do you reckon Peter was doing in his backyard to
be so embarrassed that he had to shoot down the drunk.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's in the Midwest of America, made I reckon, that's
just what they call a nice afternoon.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So he's sitting out there with his gun.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And it turns out he shot the drone shot out
of this Yeah, great shot.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
He went on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
He went to court for it, and he said that
he was authorized to shoot pests, not bad, which is
a classic boom of defense, I imagine, because let's face it,
all boomers treat drones as pests and they will never
understand that. But that doesn't mean that you can shoot
it with a gun. So, as I said, I do
(02:41):
think there's a wonderful stories if you've got a good
one that comes to mind. My year four teacher, Missus Smith,
she she good cover.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
She once.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I remember the day that she she threw a printer
across the classroom, one of those old school lad printers.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah four, that's twenty five, thirty years ago, So that's
that's a whopper, big printer.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah yeah, strong.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Old school laser. Yet ye here's the trunch ball.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And she ripped the cord out of the wall, right,
came with it, Yeah, came with it.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Caught at all. That's always funny.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, I think the court, Yeah, the cord would have
stopped it a little bit, but she frisbee this thing
straight at Tallly Thompson's head and lucky he darked because
it shattered.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
On the wall behind him. She threw a printer at
a kid.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Would have killed him. Thirty six fine her up there.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I can't actually remember. I think it was because he
mispronounced the word ute. He said, oh, track a printer
at him. That's actually exactly what it was. She'd been
trying to get him say ute for the whole year.
But I feel like your dad would have broken a
few things in anger Woods.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That surprisingly controlled with.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I think that is such a tight er, honestly, like
he just overthinks like I couldn't possibly do any damage
to the house because quite because you're right, like dad,
Dad seems like the kind of person that I.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Think, Yeah, absolutely, he doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I feel like it's going to be a classic Dad topic.
So thirty what it's excited if you have got more
calls like this, But your dad, let's just get to
the story here.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Time six pm, watching TV decided to get up with
the phone.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Out of the wall.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Think a good old tosh to learn line phones sling
across the room, going off his head and then yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It stand And I'm so glad we came back for
that given, because that, I mean, what does a boomer
broken and anger?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Really?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
What you got is your excell It was my.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Ex husband and he couldn't get the lawnmower started, so
he took took a hammer to it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Particularly lawn mowers very very susceptible.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
It's not starting. Sorry give you this, Julie, like, so
hammer v.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Lawnmark.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Because the other thing which I find very funny about
Boomer's cracking it and trying to break things is when
they go to break it and they fail, they don't
realize how strong the lawnmowers. Like, did he beat the lawnmower, Julie?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
He did?
Speaker 9 (05:30):
He beat it really hard.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
And the funniest part was I could hear the man
next door trying to start his lawnmower, and of course
that I've put my head out the door and I've
just said to him, I love I think the man
next door needs to bury your hammer.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Julie good, I did, Julie under you know one together
Lisa on thirty when five.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I love these just women just dobbing in their husbands. Lisa,
what did a boom of breaking anger?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (06:03):
So My husband's really competitive at golf and went through
a stage where he just couldn't handle losing against his
best mates, so every time he lost or wasn't happy
with his score, he would snap a club. My son
also works at the local club where my husband plays,
(06:24):
so I got him to organize that next time, they
went in a group to ban my husband from playing
because I'm sick. Well, we're all sick of having to
pay for your clubs.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Brilliant, brilliant. How'd that go, Lisa?
Speaker 10 (06:36):
It was a bit of a joke, so they ended
up letting him on. But yeah, everyone got involved in it,
just to teach him a lesson of bad sportsmanship.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, good lesson, Lisa, to snap a golf club over here.
It's pretty impressive, right. I would have thought maybe with
the carbon fiber ones.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It might be easier.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, potentially.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Gilmour and the big guy, Yeah yeah, yeah, that looks tough, Vicky, Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think there are.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Lightweight these days.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Vicky.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Well, if I'm a boomer, this is you.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
I've broken a lot of things in anger, but technology
that where's missing. I just can't my fingers as small
as what I am.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I pressed the wrong buttons.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
I've smashed so many phones, but I took to having
a plate smashing cuppet, and I've got it near my
back door.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And what I do is I go.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
To a lot of op shops by oppold plate just
to smash. And when I'm really having a day, I
stand at the back door, open it up and I
smash as many as I but then later on I
got to go and pick them all up. So it's
(08:05):
one of those things that you just can't keep thinging
head against.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
The wall until you keep bleeding.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
You know, you just got to keep trying.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I guess plate smashing cupboard get his right. Every time
that you get frustrated with your phone, you go to
a cupboard next to your back door full of plates
and you smash your plate.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Phone, kids, anything.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yesterday you made me make a call to a cafe
and try and get a refund because I'd burn my
tongue on a hot coffee.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah, good bit, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Succeeded.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Maybe you can come in and if I recognize your
then we can do a refund.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
All right, cool, I'll come down now.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yeah, perfect, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You're coming down. Yeah, you better believe it. Yeah, yeah,
we'll be down there by the way.
Speaker 11 (09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, So if you do burn your tongue on a
coffee that is refundable according to that capital.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, that guy I think was particularly nice. Anyway, it
wasn't a nice call to make fame feel weird. And
you know, as someone who avoids confrontation, which is you,
I think you making a similar call would be really
difficult for you.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
That's not how this works.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Taking it all the battering ram, yeah, I know, and
I am I'm the sensitive duck behind.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I'm just trying to sensitive duck duck.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, a duck goose.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Right now, I've got a refund call for you to make.
And keep in mind everyone what he really does, professionally
avoid confrontation to the point where you will drive hundreds
of kilometers out of your way, you will forfeit hundreds
of dollars, you'll end up dating someone for two years
you don't even like.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Now, I won't agree with that one, but potentially, hypothetically
I might do that.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So right now, you're gonna call a cinema like cinemas,
and you're going to tell them that you bought a
box of Maltesers, but one of them rolled under the
chair and you couldn't find it. Yep, Now you would
like your Cinnama ticket refund it.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
My whole cinema ticket, not just the Maltesers.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So the whole cinema tickets.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Oh my, that that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 12 (10:19):
No, hello, this is litter cinemas. How can I help
you today?
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I I was at your cinema last night. M and
I just had a couple of comments to make about
my experience last night.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
Yeah. Absolutely, I can definitely take note of them.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Amazing, that's great. So look, so I saw a black bag, okay, Yeah,
and I paired.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
My movie experience with a box of Maltesers, yes, okay,
which was great. Obviously everything was going well. Unfortunately I
was startled by a part of the film and some
Malteses fell out of the box and okay, and that
has rolled under the seat. I obviously didn't want to
(11:09):
leave the Malteses just on the floor of the cinema,
so I ended up on my hands and knees looking
for the Maltesers. And it took obviously a very very
long time. I didn't want to disturb anyone by putting
my phone light on or anything.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I was, of course in the dark.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So look, I ended up being down there for forty
to forty five minutes effectively looking for these maltesers that
fell out of the box. And if I'm being honest,
because I didn't want to disturb any of the other patrons,
I just missed like the back half of the movie. Okay,
I guess what I'm trying to say is I just
(11:44):
really appreciate a refund if that's okay.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So I only really saw the first half.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Of the movie, it's right, okay.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
So unfortunately I can't really process refunds here on our
system over the phone, but if you go through our website,
you just put in everything you've just told me that
I'll get sent to our managers on shift and they'll
be able to go through that. I'm not being unreasonable,
am I I think something like that I wouldn't actually
be too sure about. Okay, I'm not really too sure
(12:14):
because the managers usually handle the refunds, but it's absolutely
worth a try.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Okay, let's just live in the world where you are
the manager. What would you say to that if you
if you did have the power to give a refund.
What would do you think is reasonable here?
Speaker 12 (12:26):
So if it was me, I don't know if I
would approve the refund, but we are usually more than
happy to give out ticket vouchers instead. I imagine that
would definitely be an option to just get a ticket
on the house.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, because actually, well I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the
movie again because I did miss the back half. What
if I do you think maybe a good idea to
shoot for movie voucher and another box of Malteezers.
Speaker 12 (12:51):
I mean, I respect the hustle. I said go for
everything you can get, but I don't know how that
would go. But I mean absolutely we're to try.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay, with your experience working, there is there something else
I should go for?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hustler to hustler.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
I mean that would probably be as far as they
might go.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You don't need to explain anymore, mate, Hey, this is
my name is Will. This is what he We're calling
from a radio station.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Oh brilliant.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I think you handled that incredibly well. I'm not sure
if you gave me your name. What was your name name?
Speaker 12 (13:22):
My name is Klee.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I feel like I was being completely unreasonable, but I
think you don't want a job in if if the
cinea moroover gets tired, you should move into hostage negotiation.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Because that was a master class.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
Brilliant. I'm glad it's upward mobility.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Then.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, I like you said that you respect the hustle.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
But if I was the manager, no.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I wouldn't, mate.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Honestly, you need to get into defending claims for insurance companies.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
We're just talking about it. You you were masterful.
Speaker 12 (13:57):
Oh, brilliant. I'm glad to hear.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
What are you planning on being in the future. What's
the trajectory?
Speaker 10 (14:02):
Oh, that is.
Speaker 12 (14:03):
A fantastic question. I have no idea. We'll see where
life takes it.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I don't think it's too much of a stress to
say Prime Minister there, Kyle, Yeah, I would vote for you.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I want to vote for you.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
Hey, I like it. Flattery won't give you refunds, but I.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Definitely Which post did you take down too late?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So it could be a comment, could be a caption,
could be the whole video or photo. So justin bieber
Like he posted about Hailey, his wife, being on the
cover of Vogue and basically said in the caption that
he told Hailey that she would never be on the
cover of Vogue. So anyway, people are saying, like, why
(14:45):
do you make it about yourself? Blah blah, offending. You know,
you've been a backlash, a bit of backlash, and naturally
he took the post down and then reposted it with
just a whole bunch of emojis, which is much safer.
But it's too late. The world's seen it. Let's go
to Tiff here, Tiff, watch your story.
Speaker 11 (15:01):
Well, I was out with a friend on Australia Day
one year and I used to compete for Australia myself.
I was out having a few drinks and my friend
posted a photo of me with a drink in my hand,
and it was at the time we were competing in
in Pete training. Anyways, the team contacted me with it
(15:21):
about five minutes and said, get that post down or
we're kicking you off the team.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
What were you competing in, Tiff? If you don't mind
me swimming swimming?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeh?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Do we know who you are? Tif?
Speaker 13 (15:34):
You might do?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
What's your last name? Tiff?
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Thomas Kane.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Names dropped the name that the Penny has dropped for me,
Struth almighty, So like he didn't get kicked off the
team TIV like.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Truth almighty. All right, let's go to Lauren here.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Now you accidentally posted something took it down too late?
Speaker 13 (15:56):
Yes, boys, I got myself in big trouble.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Okay, we'll have Lauren.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
So my brother and sister in law were having the
first grandchild in the family. So you know, I went
in and met the baby.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
We got photos.
Speaker 13 (16:12):
It was a big deal. Anyway, Later that day I
posted a photo saying congratulations, it's so exciting.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
Later on, maybe five.
Speaker 13 (16:24):
Ten minutes later, I get a text from my brother saying,
take that post down. Some of them we haven't announced
it yet.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Oh yes, who daisy taking away their moment a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You would have got the likes though, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, yeah, you got the hit. Well that's probably what
they're angry about it, like the hits.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Taking the hits. Let's go to Shelley here. Shelley, what
did you post and take down too late?
Speaker 12 (16:57):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Guys, I have an absolute shocker around a cruise boat
and I bought my daughter, who was about ten at
the time, this beautiful new dressing gown. Anyway, I got
out of the shower and I just had my underwear on,
and I took a picture of her in a new
dressing gown, thinking, oh, doesn't she look beautiful, not realizing
that behind the bed that she was lying on was
(17:17):
all mirrors. So I posted this picture of my daughter
looking gorgeous and me in the background in my underwear.
But now it gets better. We're out to see for
two days there's no coverage. All the people that really
cared about because I got some nice text saying, yeah,
might like get into the edit that fat ay, you
(17:39):
know you can see your underwear. I've got other friends
saying you can see your nickas take it. So when
we did pull up pull up again on the boat
and I had coverage again, my phone and my husband's
phone just like went out of control. Messages say.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
There was a shaker, Oh Shelley, yeah we have you
with how you look?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Those I mean, at the end of the.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Day, I'm just so grateful I had underwear on. But
the funniest.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Thing, feel good story of the day, Mariah Carey.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
We had to know whether.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
There's this is born from any sense of legitimacy given
and how I know how jaded and largely pessimistic she is.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
This might just be a good pastime.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
But she she has crashed her thirteen year old son's
live twitch stream.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Sounds like a real moment, sounds like a real organic
was she was?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
She was?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
She doled up. You better believe it.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
A little less organic all of a sudden, I believe it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
So he's doing he's on twitch. I don't know what
twitch is? What's twitch?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
An aleast?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It's a gaming streaming.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Whoa look at you?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
You can watch people game. It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, it sounds a bit strange, but you should try it. Yeah,
we're talking about a thirteen year old boy. Anyway, So
he's on there.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
You are.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So he's on there doing his twitch thing. She jumps
on and quote leaves him hilariously mortified. What a combination
to be hilariously mortified. Anyway, So she does that, Everyone's like, Maria.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Want a mom.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
She starts singing, jumped down there, did a bit of
a bit, A little bit?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Is that whistle a bit? I don't think she did?
But very cute. Okay, So what I want to do
right now? I find it quite hard.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Your parents only interrupt you, I find as a kid,
if you've done something naughty or if you embarrass them.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, she might get a kick under the table.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yes, they go stop talking.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
So what I want to do right now, I've got
kids to call, and I want to see if they
can get Can they embarrass their parents to the point
where their parents interrupt them?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Great, So we've got Maya here, Hi Maya, Bhi Maya.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
How old are you?
Speaker 14 (19:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You're eight years old?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, So now I did say there was a rise before,
so I should probably be true to my word. Here Mia,
if you managed to say something about your mom so
embarrassing that she interrupts you, I will give you a
two hundred dollars strike bowling voucher.
Speaker 14 (20:13):
Okay, this morning, my mom is the loudest fever and
it stank like my dad's shoes. And they did not.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Know then what happened? Then what happened then Maya?
Speaker 14 (20:30):
And then well I know he passed out, to be honest.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Very good shoes.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So you've jumped in there, mum. But was there is
there truth to this? Mum?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well?
