It's will and Woody podcast Mini brook Boney, who's filling
in for Woods while he's in the arm of celeb Jungle.
If you just missed out chat with Tony Armstrong, Yeah,
I get on the podcast because that was truly some
of the best listenings I've had all year. Hearing Brook
and Tony talking about racism and sport. That was awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
He's such a gorgeous boy, isn't he And he just
speaks so eloquently about things that are really really big
and with such humor.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Just well, you both did, Brooks, you both did. It
was really really good.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
So anyway, William, what do wherever you get your podcasts?
Right now that we're going to talk about Illon Master
the Rocketman, because his most powerful rocket of all time
has had to Postponent's launch Man.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's sad. It's sad for him.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It is also kind of sad because it feels as
if the Starship, which is the most meant to be
the most powerful rocket of all time, felt like just.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A big topper. It was a big story topper. You know.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He just wanted to make a bigger, more powerful rocket
than NASA did. So now we can't do it. And
it reminded me of storytoppers Brook because they suck ways.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I actually know the biggest topper of all time, to
the point where her husband had nicknamed her Topper. I
knew we were doing this and I enjoy it. I
enjoy watching, joy hearing the stories. And that is why
I have invited my dear friend and the host of
a current fair on nine, Ali Langdon, onto the show.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Did I say I hate storytoppers because it's top.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Of Langdon, not Ali Langdonla.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Her husband literally does call her top Langdon.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So I figure.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's good to have you on the show. Ali, thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So you're happy to own up with this because Ovien,
if someone is called the topper, that's not necessarily a
great trait.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Oh I'm well aware it's not a great trait, but no,
I'm proud of it. I forget it. Any story you've got,
I've got one.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The thing is is that she was a reporter on
sixty Minutes for what more than a decade, Ali, So
she's got all of these stories from all around the world. Literally,
anything that you say, she'll be like, oh, well you
know I've done that.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Too, Okay, Ali, can I ask like, are you willing
to put this to the test.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Look, sure, I mean, let's see what we've got.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, it's not gonna be what I've got, because I
I it sounds like you. You've got some serious prowess
in this area. So it's gonna have to be you
versus Australia.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So what do we do?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So why don't we do thirteen and one oh six five?
If you think you've got a great story, even just
a good story, and it can be about anything, any
story from your life, the holidays, recently, whatever it was,
give us a call thirteen one oh six five and

in the.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Jungle over in Africa?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Ali?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It sounds pretty tough, doesn't it. He's over there, it's
probably living in a tent or something.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Well, I mean, when I was last in Africa and
we're staying it tent, I actually got chased by lion.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Ellie.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Also, I've also heard that you've got no remorse in
topping kids stories when you hear them.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Oh no, no, there's a little bit of remorse. But
I did once to do Top of Langdon on a
little kid who was it was one of my mate's friends.
I'm actually not proud of it. And he was so
excited to tell me about this well watching crews he'd
been on and he spotted this well off in the distance.
So I told him, well, I've been swimming with humpback
whales in Tonga and I got taught in the middle
(03:36):
of like a mating run where like four males were
chasing a female. And I thought he'd be really impressed
and happy, and he was just crestful.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Of course he was. He's wheeled out his best gears
to an adult. You're a trusting adult, and you're just
flattened him.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And my husband told me to shut up.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well, look, if you'd like to try and shut Allie
langed it up.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
If you can be Top of Langdon in a story off,
you've got a good story from your life, anytime in
your life, let's see if she can top it. Apparently
can be about anything. That's the range and the depth
of this woman. We're going to find out right up
next thirty one oh six y five give us a call.
We're going to find out if Ali Langdon from Channel
Nine's a Current Affair can top your story, it's good be.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
A weekly bit. Welcome back, Ali, great to have you on.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh it is such a setup.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, I'm feeling confident about this.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I also feel like this kind of really suits your
role in a current affair, you know, like, are you
sort of sitting there listening to people's grievances and then
in the back of your mind just going, I've got
a better story.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
No, I mean most of mine involved, you know, having
world animals and invention.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You do.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What have you got? You're setting this up as a
bit of a camp so.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
People people have come in there, people that want to
take down the champ.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I feel like this is like that old that old
show what was it? Challenges and so what was that?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You know there was Gladiators, That's what I was. So
this is Gladiator's been in stories. So Allie to put out.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
There that I feel like I've now to this could.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well Brook did say that you are the best topper
storytopper of all time, to the point where your husband
calls you topp of Langdon.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So I think I'm proud of it, and you.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Are and it's good and it's a worthy it is
a worthy title. She deserves every.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, we're about to find out whether it's worthy and
whether it is a title brook because the way that
boxing fights work in my limited knowledge, is that you've
got to challenge the title holder and if you beat them,
you get the title. And there are a lot of
people who are called up who think they've got a
better story than Ali Langdon. So let's get into it.
We've got another owl who's called good Al.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Hi Ali, Hi, Hi?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Everyone?
Speaker 3 (05:51):

Speaker 6 (05:54):
I wonder if you can top my family and like
going camping and we were in a plane crash.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Oh can I expot to everyone? Okay, but there.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Was a belly landing without any landing gears.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, I'm going to try. Okay. So it's camping trip
and you're in a plane crash. So I was camping,
got stranded on top of an active volcano for four
days and had to be rescued by helicopter.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
What did I tell you? What did I tell you?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Ali Langdon literally has the best stories I've ever heard anyone.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Because I'm thinking to myself, is a camping story with
some sort of air travel.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's no way you're going to be able to combine
both of them.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And she's done it and thrown in a volcano.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Helicopter. No, Ali, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I've done well, Ali, geez, you hold on there and
not even narrowly like you trounced her there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Why she's gone. She's got mate, she hates you. You've
beaten her.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
As heavy lies the crown. You've got to be brutal.
Here we go next one. Alana's called on thirty one
and six five.

Hello, Alana, Hello.

Alliellana?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
All right, Elana, you're right mate. What have you got
for us?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
All right? So if you can beat this. I was
born and raised in a cult, and I went to
church five days out of seven days a week until
I was twenty two. Then I left my faith and
I was dis owned and out on the street to
start my life afresh.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Oh, this is tough, Allie. This is real tough. Alana.
I'm glad you got out. I'm glad you're safe.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
This is this is quite the story of Ali Langdon.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, okay, I feel like where where this is like
their final punch this is the blow. I think the mantles.
I think I've got a handover, got to hand over
the top of track.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Do you know why Ali is saying that though?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Because Ali wants Lana's details, because she wants to do
a story on her.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
A story once on the only Australian survivor in the
Waco cult disaster. He survived like thirteen years in jail.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
STI was doing it.
