Speaker 3 (00:15):
What is it again? Ham Home, Ham Home.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Ham Home. We're bringing the hand home. I want to
talk about a new anxiety that we discovered. We're always
discovering anxieties here and one usually agree, yeah, we agree that,
Like you know, it all started with the boomgate and
then we bring that up a lot. But just in
case your new listener, that was the inaugural. It was
when we realized that we all were afraid of the
boomgate here at work and that we practically duck as

(00:39):
we drive under it just if it falls down on
the top.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
We're sitting in a van like one of the work vans,
or in a van and you go into the car
park at say AUSTRALIAFA or one of those places, do
you actually slide down your seat a little bit because
you think you're going to hit Oh it's some I
do it just naturally.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah. Are you just duck a little bit underneath car
parks just to make sure the half it just and
so when.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
You're on the en one driving between two semis, you're
breathing and hold your.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Breath, yeah, just so you can make the car narrow.
We passed this intellect onto our children.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Going all right, I didn't get mine.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
So here's our new anxiety that we have discovered, and
it's based on the explosion that happened in Surface Paradise
that shut all of Surface down.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
That footage is amazing. She just disappears.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So that's what we're talking about. The poor girl who
is okay but was injured, that walked out of the
shop and then she fell into the electrical box essentially
that was underneath the car, underneath the footpath. It had
the cover and then luckily she got out and then
that's where the explosion came out moments later. So very
very lucky. But the anxiety we realized is that we

(01:52):
never step on those If there's a manhole, I do
a little bit of a hoppity hop to the side,
or I hop over it. I never step on a manhole.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Or a great I never step on a grain, no way.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And I never step on any kind of lid that
is on a footpath. You don't know what's underneath.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
That just asking you for trouble, Like have firm ground
underneath you. You don't have to. Like it's almost like
if you step on one of those metal doors into
the ground, like it's a trapdoor. It is, and that
you know in the James Bond movies where you fall
through the trap door and you're in the middle the sharks.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
All of a sudden, I'm opposite. I tell my kids,
don't step on the manholes. There's teenage mutant ninja turtles
down there.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's going to work.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't know what's going on down there. So we
just want to invite you in. Do you have that anxiety?
Do you not step on anything on footpaths other than
hard ground?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I bet you any money. There's people that call and
say when they see those things, they go out of
their way to stand on them.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Exactly a manhole.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Before you've stepped on a manhole, eaten it.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Hard, like someone someone stood on the other end of
the man and it flipped up a lip on my
end and tripped me over.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
How did that happen?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
The way to the person in front of me pushed
the manhole up, so it was it wasn't down properly promptly?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Where was this? I was years ago?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Probably?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
So was it here in Australia? See that's why I've
got an anxiety?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Anxiety straight away?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It is? Okay? So does anybody else share this an
What do we call it? Is it manhole anxiety?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't think we call manhole a lot?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
What do we call foot path? Lid anxiety?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
The path?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Utility?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Whole cover of us?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I don't know what?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Manhole is so much easier it is.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It sounds wrong, but it's right.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Does you manhole? Do you have a man hole covers?
Do you have anxiety? Find no manholes? Cool fun? One
hundred bucks up for grabs. This well where the best
toys come from, mister toys dot com? Do you do

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Where did a utility cover upset your day?
