with a national New Theaters. I saw that a couple
of times, which is awesome to see her do a thing.
But had a I moment and we talked about this
on the radio before, but I've never got your thoughts
on it, so it's awesome to s her on stage.
It was great, you know, it was really cool. But
I at a moment where we were sitting right in
the middle and sort of arriving you have to walk
(01:11):
through everyone to get to your seats. Excuse me, sorry,
people lovely, you know, stand up and they kind of
move their legs away, but you're like, which way do
you go? Like do you go bum first or crotch first?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I always feel like it's far more.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Than That's what I did to But then midway through
I was like, am I doing this is the right
way or not?

I was bum first?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yea, yeah, it seems quite intimate, the face first, isn't it.

face plant them, so like it's better to sit.

sitting down?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Do you like to get up and get space? Ye
like to find people that just sort of move their
legs and you know, it's like they're half heartily doing it,
but it really is just as I've kind of moved.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Why can you just turn up on time like the
rest of us? Remember on that we're on a flight
back on a work trip and a guy had taken
your seat and it was an aisle seat.

Oh yeah, because we're both sitting behind each other. And
the thing that as we booked in, the lady is like,
I've given you both aisle seats and we're like, great,
one behind each other, John and I. So we knew
going ahead were the leg room? Yeah, and so you
sat in your seat great? And then I was like, oh,

is my seat, and he's like, that's not how I

fact that this is going to make it really see
my head.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Earlier this morning, what I claimed was the exclusive audio
of the inter Island and running a ground in the ocean.
And it confused me because it started with whistles and
I thought was Rugby comt try, But this was the
audio from the Enter Islander.

little bit.
Speaker 5 (06:18):

Have you been trapped on a plane twenty four hours?
Some of them, you know, sit on the tarmac for
a crazy amount of time. Don't they.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Have you ever been trapped like like out at sea
on a boat, like the entire island.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
The whole time on the Joland, I'd be like, well,
we're a ground, why don't we just jump off the ground?
Is like, just check over a rope ladder and we
can get on with our night.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Actually, you're right, we're right there. We're running ground. You're
literally running. Why do we just out? Anyway? Not for
me to figure.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Out the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We're stuck out on the inter Island ferry over the
weekends and twenty four hours trapped when it kind of
ran the ground. So we wanted to know one hundred
the hat's four for eight seven. What where have you

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Mate?
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Skytower lifts? It was the service list.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh okay, the not the nice lift with all the
windows and all the resumes, the resumets.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
How long were you earned there?
Speaker 8 (08:16):
For three hours?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Well, it's a long time in a very small space.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
How high up were you start?
Speaker 8 (08:22):
We were between level firty one and it's too high
fifty six, fifty.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
One and fifty I suppose you couldn't see out though.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
No, No, I.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Could feel the altitude in my bones.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
And you don't know when you're going to get free,
because that's the thing.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
Yeah, but it was funny because I had tourists with me,
because I was working the service lift. I was a
tour guide up in the skytower and the service lift
can only go to the highest level, the top reservation, Obervation,
And yeah, it was so funny. Just okay, I was
(09:05):
on camera and our security and that we're talking to
us through the intercom and we're if there was easy
that the Americans wanted, and we would love to have
a pizza delivered.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Think all stuff we want can.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Get you right now, they asked, if they wanted.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
I think you can hear the base once the doors open,
you can hear the top ends so much.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Anything you want right now to just if you could
get us out of here, the ideal thing.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Aaron, welcome. Where were you stuck?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I was stuck on an aeroplane with my family. Yeah,
We've just flown from New Zealand to Los Angeles on
the way to the UK. And it was like it
as you know, a twelve hour flight. And then they
told us when we landed. Oh there's a bit of
a delay. There's something. We can't get into the airport,
(10:09):
so no one knew what was going on. We actually
had an iPad and so we were trying to search
on the iPad to see what was going on. And
then we read something about some shootings in the airport
year so it was when you remember the LA shootings
in Los Angeles years, so it was for that, and
so yeah, we then we had to stay on the
(10:30):
plane for about another about six hours. We had three
very young, very young children, wow, were very grumpy, and
of course after a flight like that, there's no food
left on the plane. So the steward esses were going
around handing out peanuts.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Individual peanuts or bags of peanuts, individual ones, but you know,
you don't get many in them.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
And uh, six hours trapped on a plane on the
Army's a long time. But it was probably better than
the other option, being inside, that's true.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, we we actually thought that, yeah, definitely. But
once we eventually did get inside, it was another four
hour weight for customs and then another four hour weight
to get a taxi, so we didn't actually end up getting.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
To our hotel.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
About it was about twelve hours late and we were
actually supposed to be going to Disney World.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Well, she's what a bloody.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Dream run you here.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
The Fury over the weekend around the ground. I had
a steering problem and twenty four hours is out there
on the ocean. Fifty passages on board were stuck overnight.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It was so the steering start was it a very
slow like whoa, you know we're in dingy or yeah,
it's the most New Zealand boat crash you could even think.
Not too dramatic. It's a little bit inconvenient, but humble.
We're going to go to the phones. Where have you
been stuck? I went down to that telephone number. Have
(12:05):
we got on the phone? Sorry?
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Grace, Wendy, Hi guys. So my husband and I on
the last night of our honeymoon was started on a
Thai aircraft carrier like a navy ship. So we were
in Thailand and Kotoo for our honeymoon and basically there
was some torrential rain for about seven days, so it
(12:29):
was a bit of a wash out and everyone was
strand on the island. There's no way off because you
can only.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Get there by boat.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
So the Navy sent a Thai aircraft carrier to basically
evacuate a thousand people off the island. And yeah, so
we sat that last night of our honeymoon sleeping on
cardboard boxes, surrounded by maybe helicopters. That was quite the.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Adventure, romantic, just what you had for your honeymoon.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally totally right. And the only way
that the funny thing was the only way onto the
aircraft carrier was to go out in a in a
little speedboat and then we had to climb up rope
nets to board the aircraft carrier.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Well any got you a cruise as well, an't they?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
What a guy?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And we're on there with a thousand other people.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Yeah, yes, sleeping on cowdboard boxes whatever you could find,
just made yourself a bit more comfortable. So yeah, we
spent about twelve hours overnight and then they dropped off
off at the tie. But I must have met the
service on the you know, they seed us. They were amazing.
The Tay Navy takend to none amazing.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What did they served for dinner?
Speaker 10 (13:33):

rice and some meat dish. I think, oh.

I was stuck on a train going from Paris town
to Avon in the bottom of France. A cold spell
of coming from over Russia and all the lines had
frozen up so they couldn't make connection on electric trains.
Speaker 1 (14:17):

Speaker 11 (14:17):
Yeah, we were there for like twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh damn, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
That's a long time. And I imagine you run out
of your light banter with your fellow passengers pretty early
on in the PCE Ellen.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Yeah, for sure, for sure. And they leave the lights
on all night, so you couldn't really get to sleep.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Did you make the lifelong friends on that train?
Speaker 11 (14:39):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Just Peo where you really wanted to get away from?

Yeah, did you see him dancing?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, that's really cool. Well we'll put him on a
hat's breakfast Instagram story. At the moment, he's done to
a song and you know, you imagine he was caught
in the crowd dancing, and you imagine, you know, he's
a dad, he's celebrating his forty second birthday. Maybe he'd
be dancing a little awkwardly.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
He's a white dude doing like a little huffing.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He's god for it? Is it really really cool to
see him go for it like he's actually he's shaking
it off and he's actually going he's going hard and
this is actually really really cool, Like he's not being reserved,
he's not being like an awkward white dude at a
concert a lot of fun and that's pretty cool. That's
quite a relatable.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
He really has got to commit to it, don't you.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's the key.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, commits great when you're half heartedly do it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That's when he was on camera camera. I mean, I
guess the whole way people would have been filming him.
But he's really he's shaking it off. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
He's down in the gas, he's shaking offrom the corporate box.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't think he's mingling out and the gas waiting for
long queues to get you.
Speaker 4 (16:16):

they been a great time?

two months, you would imagine probably, you know, I think

It feels like she'd been going on tour for like
years and years.

Does anyone has anyone done anything?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Actually, but it's all there. If I wanted to, it was.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
But you've got what you've got chocolatemoss. But you even
bought Eddie in here.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I could bring it, I know.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
But when no one's likes the office pest coming in
with their like, hey, come and buy some, you know,
that puts pressure on the colleague. If you came here
with mosas, I'd feel obliged to buy five somosas.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And that's good because that, in my mind, that's like
guilt free chocolate. Because it was like I was giving
you money for a fund raiser.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I'll bring you a box.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
But I had to go to the school sick Bay
the other day too, speaking of all things scholastic, And
tell you what, they're very distinctive odor the school sick
Bay of like disinfectant and maybe some sort of vomits
twist these vomits, you know, but very really really hits
the nostrils. But one thing I'd like to point out
is nothing has changed in the blanket department. It's like
(19:51):
the school sick base signed up years ago. I deal
with the devil the blanket, those scratchy gray you know,
the dark gray sort of blankets. It's still running those,
yeah on, just like giant planks of flat wood.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Probably the most uncomfortable being. Also the kids you get
two cuppy, you don't want them there for you hour.
You know, you wanted to get back into school, so see.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Some things like you say, like blood needs to be
easily washable, unstainable.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I always loved it because in primary school the reception
is doubled up as the sick bay monitor too, And
then you just lie there and you're like listen to
all the principal's conversations, you know, in the whole way.
Oh yeah, Sandy, you let loose at the office drinks
on Friday. But yeah, nothing has changed about the humble
stick babe. And it was always just like what do
you do? Oh I've broken my leg? I think Jack and.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Ice back on it, the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I know your your young person, Boomer can plum. Thank
you there you go not to do it with your
I just want to know that jin.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah yeah, and this is surrounding the movie theater. And
I back you one hundred and ten percent here, Megan.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's nothing to do with how much the tickets cost,
although just very expensive.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
But I went to the.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Cinema recently and it wasn't even the actual movie.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
The trailer full Wicked.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know, the new movie with Ariana Grande coming out,
was so loud. It was thumping in my chest. Gave
me a fright when it came on, and like it
all made my ears like tangled.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And you, out of all of us here at radio,
you have your headphones up.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
So my headphones sound like speakers.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They do.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, you know it's loud.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
When a deaf radio announce, well, it must be really loud.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
It's like just I couldn't even concentrate on what was happening.
I was like, this is so loud.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You do wonder Obviously they put the movies on, but
I don't imagine they come in and go check it
and go, oh, you know that's good. You I measure
they just turn it on back.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
You know, they need someone there adjusting it to the set.
There's a car crash coming up. Bang, it was an explosion.
Just turned that down a touch on with you, Megan, but.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Like, do they have a standard so like you go
to see like a rom com and then do they
kick that level for like a Mad Max movie where
it's like.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Maybe someone from the movie what someone from the movie
industry front up? It takes four for water, it takes
four for eight seven. If you're in the movie industry,
what do you do with this volume? But that's not
where we're hitting though. After this full blown assault on
Megan's ear drums, and you do feel like an old
person complaining about the level of noise so loud. You know,
this is one step away from my dear complaining about
(22:19):
how loud the commercials are on TV.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
But they definitely make those louder, right, this is turn out.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We're already took it down there. I'm gonna say one,
then I'll get one. And I love going to concerts,
but let's just start them one time. Let's just like,
if they're going to come out, let's say the time
are going to come out and come out and be
on the time. Isn't that hard?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, because they sometimes can run thirty minutes late on.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
A weeknight when you get you know, I mean, I'm
sure they'd like to get it done earlier.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Often it's the artist, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yes, they don't.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
You get first thing for work, and they're on a
pretty melleable schedule.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Come on like seven o'clock as opposed to at nine o'clock.
Is it really? Yeah? I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Okay, that's your young person boomer complaints. Let's get these on.
You can text two four, four eight seven, There will
be no judgment here. Can I check one out? We've
gone password mad?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Password?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Too many passwords?
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I have three pages, three documents of passwords because I
don't trust the key chain. You want us to save
your password?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Never, So I've got them more stored.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
On a convenient document on my desktop.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And then it needs like a number and like an
exclamation mark and a capital and.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
And it's like you're sometimes it's like, would you like
how security safe password? Which is like Egyptian highlogriphs.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
No one's going to remember that.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
And then you feel like you're decoding a nuclear bomb
or something every time you do it, and you're typing
it and it's not strong enough, not strong enough? How
much stronger do you need.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It to be? The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Now Boomer young person Boomer complaints Megan purpose coming now,
might we front foot this the very very hard of
hearing Megan, We're not hard of hearing, just your heafos.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
My headphones are so loud, the light little speakers.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yes, when you.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Take them off, it's like you've got the surround sound
in the studio. So that's the sort of hearing that
we're dealing with here. You've got to complain about the movies.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That when you go there, it's so loud. Some of
those trailers like making my body shake my eyes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
If you're finding them loud?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
What mean?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What the person worth?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Surely everyone's like it's too loud?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
They are quite like, and also like can I add
it on? The movies? Too long?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Now?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I know, I remember when Titanic was like whoa, what's
that two and a half hours or something?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Now it feels like the normous two and a half
hour three hours. Sometimes you're like, oh great, Like I
love going to the movies, but just the little little
bit it being.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Like the truck movie too, You'll be like, yeah, you
could eat it out that scene, could lose that storyline. Yeah,
that's right. Someone who's actually just takes a who works
in a movie theater. They see Dolby Dolby who does
the Dolby Digital surround sound. They recommend the sound level
to be said at what is referred to as fader
level seven. Cinemas know that audience is often fire this
way too loud, so then we set it down to
five or six. I don't know what any of this means,
(25:04):
but in response because the volumes being turned down by
the movie theaters, the filmmakers then turn up the sound
level on their films. So then that can result in
the final sound being ear piercingly loud.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
They need someone to come in at the start of
the movie and go, all right, how's allowed a little bit?
That's good? You know, maybe none of those of the
thumbs up here A job for you on the weekends, Meghan,
So you young person boomer complaints, So let's get these
on this morning.
Speaker 4 (25:34):

Speaker 4 (27:35):
That's a big power player is answering your phone on
speaker So you're just wanting people to just use their earbuds.
Speaker 13 (27:42):
I am the speakers on the cell phones ting to
not sound super great. But then if you're doing it
with an actual speaker like on the bus or whatever,
you're a conscious bumbhole.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
The Yeah that John and Ben podcast in the Sport
over the Weekend the Blues, congratulations to them taking out
the superg Pacific Final. Warriors not so good o the
Weekend Wild Game producer Grace's first time watching a Warriors game.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Don't ever watch another one, Grace, bad luck she was.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
This was like the probably the worst up there with
one of their worst losses ever in the history of
the Warriors. You know, it was tough.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
It was tough to watch anyway, back on the wagon
next week right this weekend, that's what's the roller coaster
rolling over them the Gold Coast to where they rather
them had some roller coasters at the theme parks and
roller coasters on the field.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah. Actually was watching the Warriors at a mate's place
over the weekend and we kind of got midway through
that second half. Hey let's just step away, keep it
on the background. But it's just step away because we're.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Going to focus your energy and other areas.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
And they had like a cool little like a card
table set up you can roll out on top of
like almost like a casino card table set up, you
can roll out onto a table. And so we're like, hey,
should we play something? Should we play like blackjack or
something like that, and not for any money, just for
like chaps and stuff for my wife and really played
it before, so we were trying to explain the rules.
You'll be abld A played black check when you trying
(29:04):
to get you know, as close to twenty one. Yeah,
get as close to twenty one as you can to
beat the gym. Yeah, hit me, or you can decide
to pass on it. And so my wife, I'm very
early on got twenty on her first thing to you know,
basically two tens to pitch your card in a ten
and it's just like twenty and you know you're trying
to get not twenty one, but are not over twenty
one or go bust, And we're like, great, it's a
great position to be and stay there. Say she's like
(29:26):
hit me. Well, and everyone on the tapples like, hey,
I don't know what to tell you what to do.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
There's no money and new player they're like, devil make it.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
On one card. The ace is the one card because
that can be either eleven or one. So we're like,
there's only one card that you can get out of
the rest of the deck. The odds of you getting
an ace very slim. Anything else you'ld go bust. She's
like hit me.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
She's like, thanks me the advice, take none of that
on board to.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Go what you why you do this? What is going on?
Why you want another card? You're on twenty just stay
there and she's like hit me. I love without a
word of a lie. And ace came up in the
next card. She's like, see you like this does not fortune?
Famous casino and play at a million times. It would
(30:13):
never happen like this.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Again, if you've just gone to the casino to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's the thing. We had no money on it.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It was just it was like then the conversation would
have been a lot more tense before.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
No, don't like I was right, jeesus. It was like
the greatest moment but for no money at all, and
that it would ever happen. The chances of that happening
again very very unlikely.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
But do you find that though when you played people
with black poker or black jack then never played before,
they have like beginner's luck because you're just so bold.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
You're like, don't do that, You're in a good position.
They're like, and it's not clean up.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yeah, So there we go with the greatest sporting moment
of the weekend might have been the Blues. That might
have been my wife and black jack. She made no
money but flew to cards somehow.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I next saw the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
You are in the deep dark, deep dark unraising trenches
at the moment, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, no, I'm all for you know, school fundraisers. But
at the moment Indy one one of my daughters three
fundraisers on the go at once and I feel like
that's maybe it's a bit too much.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
You're juggling through and it's a giant the chocolates come
home and it's a giant box of burden.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Yeah, because we've got samosas for aims. She's playing in
an Ames Network tournament. Great, then we've got the chocolate's
one the chocolate blocks for box. And then there's jumping June.
I'm like, what's this match? She's like, I don't know,
but fundraise for a fundraise for something. The chocolate's a
great player find because they send the kids home with
a box. To be honest, they probably know that the
family's gonna yeah, and the kids keep going and their
(31:41):
friends over there like can we get a chocolate? I'm like,
I have you got cash? And I'm like no, we'll
write it down on the thing, and then more, Oh,
these people want chocolates.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I'm like, I'm just gonna end up buying most of this.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Box, damn right, right, And I always find there's always
this the odd every now and then the most unusual
flavored chocolate like coconut rough and gale and peppermint flavored.
It's a great scam from the chocolate and just my
friends in exactly the same position at the moment, and
he's trying to peddle chocolate around the neighbor but he's like,
I just want the school to go. How much you
(32:10):
are making on those box of chocolates?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay, twelve boats, I'll give you twelve save that's a
good theory. I seen her out there with their friends
the other day out in the street. They were I
was like, go out, and it's out to the neighborhood
as well. And so they came back and they promutch
sold most of the box, which was cool, but they
did say there was one house there was someone playing flute,
playing flute. They're like, great summertime. As soon as they
locked on the door, the flute stopped. They keep knocking
(32:33):
on the door, Keep knock on the door. No okay,
And then they left and as they left, the flutes.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I can just imagine the flouts just like Didley on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
They're like, how long do we give knocking?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
It?
Speaker 4 (32:46):

in the neighborhood with.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
The flute still at the mouth, just calling their.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Noise. That is great.
Speaker 4 (33:05):

My daughter was doing her performances of musical theater Joseph
with a national New Theaters. I saw that a couple
of times, which is awesome to see her do a thing.
But had a I moment and we talked about this
on the radio before, but I've never got your thoughts
on it, so it's awesome to s her on stage.
It was great, you know, it was really cool. But
I at a moment where we were sitting right in
the middle and sort of arriving you have to walk
(01:11):
through everyone to get to your seats. Excuse me, sorry,
people lovely, you know, stand up and they kind of
move their legs away, but you're like, which way do
you go? Like do you go bum first or crotch first?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I always feel like it's far more.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Than That's what I did to But then midway through
I was like, am I doing this is the right
way or not?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
First?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I was bum first?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yea, yeah, it seems quite intimate, the face first, isn't it.

face plant them, so like it's better to sit.

sitting down?

Do you like to get up and get space? Ye
like to find people that just sort of move their
legs and you know, it's like they're half heartily doing it,
but it really is just as I've kind of moved.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Why can you just turn up on time like the
rest of us? Remember on that we're on a flight
back on a work trip and a guy had taken
your seat and it was an aisle seat.

Earlier this morning, what I claimed was the exclusive audio
of the inter Island and running a ground in the ocean.
And it confused me because it started with whistles and
I thought was Rugby comt try, But this was the
audio from the Enter Islander.

Have you been trapped on a plane twenty four hours?
Some of them, you know, sit on the tarmac for
a crazy amount of time. Don't they.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Have you ever been trapped like like out at sea
on a boat, like the entire island.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
The whole time on the Joland, I'd be like, well,
we're a ground, why don't we just jump off the ground?
Is like, just check over a rope ladder and we
can get on with our night.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Actually, you're right, we're right there. We're running ground. You're
literally running. Why do we just out? Anyway? Not for
me to figure.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Out the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
We're stuck out on the inter Island ferry over the
weekends and twenty four hours trapped when it kind of
ran the ground. So we wanted to know one hundred
the hat's four for eight seven. What where have you

Goow.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Where was it?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Mate?
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Skytower lifts? It was the service list.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh okay, the not the nice lift with all the
windows and all the resumes, the resumets.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
How long were you earned there?
Speaker 8 (08:16):
For three hours?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Well, it's a long time in a very small space.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
How high up were you start?
Speaker 8 (08:22):
We were between level firty one and it's too high
fifty six, fifty.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
One and fifty I suppose you couldn't see out though.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
No, No, I.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Could feel the altitude in my bones.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
And you don't know when you're going to get free,
because that's the thing.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
Yeah, but it was funny because I had tourists with me,
because I was working the service lift. I was a
tour guide up in the skytower and the service lift
can only go to the highest level, the top reservation, Obervation,
And yeah, it was so funny. Just okay, I was
(09:05):
on camera and our security and that we're talking to
us through the intercom and we're if there was easy
that the Americans wanted, and we would love to have
a pizza delivered.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Think all stuff we want can.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Get you right now, they asked, if they wanted.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
I think you can hear the base once the doors open,
you can hear the top ends so much.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Anything you want right now to just if you could
get us out of here, the ideal thing.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Aaron, welcome. Where were you stuck?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I was stuck on an aeroplane with my family. Yeah,
We've just flown from New Zealand to Los Angeles on
the way to the UK. And it was like it
as you know, a twelve hour flight. And then they
told us when we landed. Oh there's a bit of
a delay. There's something. We can't get into the airport,
(10:09):
so no one knew what was going on. We actually
had an iPad and so we were trying to search
on the iPad to see what was going on. And
then we read something about some shootings in the airport
year so it was when you remember the LA shootings
in Los Angeles years, so it was for that, and
so yeah, we then we had to stay on the
(10:30):
plane for about another about six hours. We had three
very young, very young children, wow, were very grumpy, and
of course after a flight like that, there's no food
left on the plane. So the steward esses were going
around handing out peanuts.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Individual peanuts or bags of peanuts, individual ones, but you know,
you don't get many in them.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
And uh, six hours trapped on a plane on the
Army's a long time. But it was probably better than
the other option, being inside, that's true.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, we we actually thought that, yeah, definitely. But
once we eventually did get inside, it was another four
hour weight for customs and then another four hour weight
to get a taxi, so we didn't actually end up getting.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
To our hotel.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
About it was about twelve hours late and we were
actually supposed to be going to Disney World.
Speaker 4 (11:27):

The Fury over the weekend around the ground. I had
a steering problem and twenty four hours is out there
on the ocean. Fifty passages on board were stuck overnight.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It was so the steering start was it a very
slow like whoa, you know we're in dingy or yeah,
it's the most New Zealand boat crash you could even think.
Not too dramatic. It's a little bit inconvenient, but humble.
We're going to go to the phones. Where have you
been stuck? I went down to that telephone number. Have
(12:05):
we got on the phone? Sorry?
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Grace, Wendy, Hi guys. So my husband and I on
the last night of our honeymoon was started on a
Thai aircraft carrier like a navy ship. So we were
in Thailand and Kotoo for our honeymoon and basically there
was some torrential rain for about seven days, so it
(12:29):
was a bit of a wash out and everyone was
strand on the island. There's no way off because you
can only.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Get there by boat.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
So the Navy sent a Thai aircraft carrier to basically
evacuate a thousand people off the island. And yeah, so
we sat that last night of our honeymoon sleeping on
cardboard boxes, surrounded by maybe helicopters. That was quite the.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Adventure, romantic, just what you had for your honeymoon.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally totally right. And the only way
that the funny thing was the only way onto the
aircraft carrier was to go out in a in a
little speedboat and then we had to climb up rope
nets to board the aircraft carrier.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Well any got you a cruise as well, an't they?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
What a guy?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
And we're on there with a thousand other people.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Yeah, yes, sleeping on cowdboard boxes whatever you could find,
just made yourself a bit more comfortable. So yeah, we
spent about twelve hours overnight and then they dropped off
off at the tie. But I must have met the
service on the you know, they seed us. They were amazing.
The Tay Navy takend to none amazing.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What did they served for dinner?
Speaker 10 (13:33):

of coming from over Russia and all the lines had
frozen up so they couldn't make connection on electric trains.
Speaker 1 (14:17):

Speaker 11 (14:17):
Yeah, we were there for like twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh damn, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
That's a long time. And I imagine you run out
of your light banter with your fellow passengers pretty early
on in the PCE Ellen.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Yeah, for sure, for sure. And they leave the lights
on all night, so you couldn't really get to sleep.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, did you see him dancing?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, that's really cool. Well we'll put him on a
hat's breakfast Instagram story. At the moment, he's done to
a song and you know, you imagine he was caught
in the crowd dancing, and you imagine, you know, he's
a dad, he's celebrating his forty second birthday. Maybe he'd
be dancing a little awkwardly.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
He's a white dude doing like a little huffing.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He's god for it? Is it really really cool to
see him go for it like he's actually he's shaking
it off and he's actually going he's going hard and
this is actually really really cool, Like he's not being reserved,
he's not being like an awkward white dude at a
concert a lot of fun and that's pretty cool. That's
quite a relatable.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
He really has got to commit to it, don't you.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's the key.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, commits great when you're half heartedly do it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That's when he was on camera camera. I mean, I
guess the whole way people would have been filming him.
But he's really he's shaking it off. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
He's down in the gas, he's shaking offrom the corporate box.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't think he's mingling out and the gas waiting for
long queues to get you.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Know, Jesus, I've made some cute kids, those two, haven't
they been a great time?
Speaker 6 (16:20):

two months, you would imagine probably, you know, I think
this tour is the never ending tour, but it is.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Actually it's going to end at some stage. I think
she's just announced at the end of the year or something. Enough.
It feels like she'd been going on tour for like
years and years.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Eight shows at Wembley ninety thousands seat stadium, times eight.

Times eight.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
You wonder that situation, you know, because they're both two
of the biggest stars in the world. Yeah, the most
famous people in the world. I guess, you know, Prince
William and Taylor Swift Rick and they go, oh, that's
Taylor Swift's got all, that's Prince William, He's got all
that Taylor Swift Rick and they get sort of bit stuffed.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
She doesn't put many selfies up of people on her Instagram,
but she did of him. Yeah, because you imagine, like
all the stars go to her show, no one gets
a selfie, but she's.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Taking that selfie. She's got there look in her eye
of like this is going to blow up.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Launch, the official you still got your be in the
bondet about Kelsey. No, but of the party frat boy
in your.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Opinion, I think I'm going to give him the benefit
of the doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Good on you. He's hard one doing over taking some
time being only you were just talking about the school
fundraiser before too, And listen, no one obviously wants to
come on and.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Peed all the fundraising. Maybe they don't fine with their fundraising.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It's just you, Bobby. School did a good one too.
They're like, mate, we need some new sports equipment. Okay,
the kids are playing with the netball that I think
Kate Shephard was playing with back in the day. They're
like here's a website. Anything you can do fantastic, you know,
just leave.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
A lot there.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
That's a great way to fundraise.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It probably doesn't result in.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Does anyone has anyone done anything?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Actually, but it's all there. If I wanted to, it was.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
But you've got what you've got chocolatemoss. But you even
bought Eddie in here.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I could bring it, I know.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
But when no one's likes the office pest coming in
with their like, hey, come and buy some, you know,
that puts pressure on the colleague. If you came here
with mosas, I'd feel obliged to buy five somosas.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And that's good because that, in my mind, that's like
guilt free chocolate. Because it was like I was giving
you money for a fund raiser.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I'll bring you a box.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
But I had to go to the school sick Bay
the other day too, speaking of all things scholastic, And
tell you what, they're very distinctive odor the school sick
Bay of like disinfectant and maybe some sort of vomits
twist these vomits, you know, but very really really hits
the nostrils. But one thing I'd like to point out
is nothing has changed in the blanket department. It's like
(19:51):
the school sick base signed up years ago. I deal
with the devil the blanket, those scratchy gray you know,
the dark gray sort of blankets. It's still running those,
yeah on, just like giant planks of flat wood.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Probably the most uncomfortable being. Also the kids you get
two cuppy, you don't want them there for you hour.
You know, you wanted to get back into school, so see.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Some things like you say, like blood needs to be
easily washable, unstainable.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I always loved it because in primary school the reception
is doubled up as the sick bay monitor too, And
then you just lie there and you're like listen to
all the principal's conversations, you know, in the whole way.
Oh yeah, Sandy, you let loose at the office drinks
on Friday. But yeah, nothing has changed about the humble
stick babe. And it was always just like what do
you do? Oh I've broken my leg? I think Jack and.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Ice back on it, the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I know your your young person, Boomer can plum. Thank
you there you go not to do it with your
I just want to know that jin.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah yeah, and this is surrounding the movie theater. And
I back you one hundred and ten percent here, Megan.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It's nothing to do with how much the tickets cost,
although just very expensive.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
But I went to the.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Cinema recently and it wasn't even the actual movie.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
The trailer full Wicked.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know, the new movie with Ariana Grande coming out,
was so loud. It was thumping in my chest. Gave
me a fright when it came on, and like it
all made my ears like tangled.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
And you, out of all of us here at radio,
you have your headphones up.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
So my headphones sound like speakers.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They do.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, you know it's loud.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
When a deaf radio announce, well, it must be really loud.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
It's like just I couldn't even concentrate on what was happening.
I was like, this is so loud.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You do wonder Obviously they put the movies on, but
I don't imagine they come in and go check it
and go, oh, you know that's good. You I measure
they just turn it on back.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
You know, they need someone there adjusting it to the set.
There's a car crash coming up. Bang, it was an explosion.
Just turned that down a touch on with you, Megan, but.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Like, do they have a standard so like you go
to see like a rom com and then do they
kick that level for like a Mad Max movie where
it's like.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Maybe someone from the movie what someone from the movie
industry front up? It takes four for water, it takes
four for eight seven. If you're in the movie industry,
what do you do with this volume? But that's not
where we're hitting though. After this full blown assault on
Megan's ear drums, and you do feel like an old
person complaining about the level of noise so loud. You know,
this is one step away from my dear complaining about
(22:19):
how loud the commercials are on TV.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
But they definitely make those louder, right, this is turn out.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
We're already took it down there. I'm gonna say one,
then I'll get one. And I love going to concerts,
but let's just start them one time. Let's just like,
if they're going to come out, let's say the time
are going to come out and come out and be
on the time. Isn't that hard?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, because they sometimes can run thirty minutes late on.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
A weeknight when you get you know, I mean, I'm
sure they'd like to get it done earlier.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Often it's the artist, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yes, they don't.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
You get first thing for work, and they're on a
pretty melleable schedule.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Come on like seven o'clock as opposed to at nine o'clock.
Is it really? Yeah? I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Okay, that's your young person boomer complaints. Let's get these on.
You can text two four, four eight seven, There will
be no judgment here. Can I check one out? We've
gone password mad?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Password?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Too many passwords?
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I have three pages, three documents of passwords because I
don't trust the key chain. You want us to save
your password?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
No?

exclamation mark and a capital and.

how security safe password? Which is like Egyptian highlogriphs.
Speaker 3 (23:40):

or something every time you do it, and you're typing
it and it's not strong enough, not strong enough? How
much stronger do you need.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It to be? The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Now Boomer young person Boomer complaints Megan purpose coming now,
might we front foot this the very very hard of
hearing Megan, We're not hard of hearing, just your heafos.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
My headphones are so loud, the light little speakers.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yes, when you.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Take them off, it's like you've got the surround sound
in the studio. So that's the sort of hearing that
we're dealing with here. You've got to complain about the movies.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That when you go there, it's so loud. Some of
those trailers like making my body shake my eyes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
If you're finding them loud?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
What mean?
Speaker 3 (24:22):

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I know, I remember when Titanic was like whoa, what's
that two and a half hours or something?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Now it feels like the normous two and a half
hour three hours. Sometimes you're like, oh great, Like I
love going to the movies, but just the little little
bit it being.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Like the truck movie too, You'll be like, yeah, you
could eat it out that scene, could lose that storyline. Yeah,
that's right. Someone who's actually just takes a who works
in a movie theater. They see Dolby Dolby who does
the Dolby Digital surround sound. They recommend the sound level
to be said at what is referred to as fader
level seven. Cinemas know that audience is often fire this
way too loud, so then we set it down to
five or six. I don't know what any of this means,
(25:04):
but in response because the volumes being turned down by
the movie theaters, the filmmakers then turn up the sound
level on their films. So then that can result in
the final sound being ear piercingly loud.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
They need someone to come in at the start of
the movie and go, all right, how's allowed a little bit?
That's good? You know, maybe none of those of the
thumbs up here A job for you on the weekends, Meghan,

You're like just the worst and you eyeball them, like,

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Dad when he comes to stay or take it? I

Speaker 4 (27:35):
That's a big power player is answering your phone on
speaker So you're just wanting people to just use their earbuds.
Speaker 13 (27:42):
I am the speakers on the cell phones ting to
not sound super great. But then if you're doing it
with an actual speaker like on the bus or whatever,
you're a conscious bumbhole.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
The Yeah that John and Ben podcast in the Sport
over the Weekend the Blues, congratulations to them taking out
the superg Pacific Final. Warriors not so good o the
Weekend Wild Game producer Grace's first time watching a Warriors game.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Don't ever watch another one, Grace, bad luck she was.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
This was like the probably the worst up there with
one of their worst losses ever in the history of
the Warriors. You know, it was tough.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
It was tough to watch anyway, back on the wagon
next week right this weekend, that's what's the roller coaster
rolling over them the Gold Coast to where they rather
them had some roller coasters at the theme parks and
roller coasters on the field.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah. Actually was watching the Warriors at a mate's place
over the weekend and we kind of got midway through
that second half. Hey let's just step away, keep it
on the background. But it's just step away because we're.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Going to focus your energy and other areas.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
And they had like a cool little like a card
table set up you can roll out on top of
like almost like a casino card table set up, you
can roll out onto a table. And so we're like, hey,
should we play something? Should we play like blackjack or
something like that, and not for any money, just for
like chaps and stuff for my wife and really played
it before, so we were trying to explain the rules.
You'll be abld A played black check when you trying
(29:04):
to get you know, as close to twenty one. Yeah,
get as close to twenty one as you can to
beat the gym. Yeah, hit me, or you can decide
to pass on it. And so my wife, I'm very
early on got twenty on her first thing to you know,
basically two tens to pitch your card in a ten
and it's just like twenty and you know you're trying
to get not twenty one, but are not over twenty
one or go bust, And we're like, great, it's a
great position to be and stay there. Say she's like
(29:26):
hit me. Well, and everyone on the tapples like, hey,
I don't know what to tell you what to do.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
There's no money and new player they're like, devil make it.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
On one card. The ace is the one card because
that can be either eleven or one. So we're like,
there's only one card that you can get out of
the rest of the deck. The odds of you getting
an ace very slim. Anything else you'ld go bust. She's
like hit me.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
She's like, thanks me the advice, take none of that
on board to.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Go what you why you do this? What is going on?
Why you want another card? You're on twenty just stay
there and she's like hit me. I love without a
word of a lie. And ace came up in the
next card. She's like, see you like this does not fortune?
Famous casino and play at a million times. It would
(30:13):
never happen like this.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Again, if you've just gone to the casino to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
That's the thing. We had no money on it.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It was just it was like then the conversation would
have been a lot more tense before.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
No, don't like I was right, jeesus. It was like
the greatest moment but for no money at all, and
that it would ever happen. The chances of that happening
again very very unlikely.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
But do you find that though when you played people
with black poker or black jack then never played before,
they have like beginner's luck because you're just so bold.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
You're like, don't do that, You're in a good position.
They're like, and it's not clean up.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yeah, So there we go with the greatest sporting moment
of the weekend might have been the Blues. That might
have been my wife and black jack. She made no
money but flew to cards somehow.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I next saw the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
You are in the deep dark, deep dark unraising trenches
at the moment, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, no, I'm all for you know, school fundraisers. But
at the moment Indy one one of my daughters three
fundraisers on the go at once and I feel like
that's maybe it's a bit too much.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
You're juggling through and it's a giant the chocolates come
home and it's a giant box of burden.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Yeah, because we've got samosas for aims. She's playing in
an Ames Network tournament. Great, then we've got the chocolate's
one the chocolate blocks for box. And then there's jumping June.
I'm like, what's this match? She's like, I don't know,
but fundraise for a fundraise for something. The chocolate's a
great player find because they send the kids home with
a box. To be honest, they probably know that the
family's gonna yeah, and the kids keep going and their
(31:41):
friends over there like can we get a chocolate? I'm like,
I have you got cash? And I'm like no, we'll
write it down on the thing, and then more, Oh,
these people want chocolates.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
I'm like, I'm just gonna end up buying most of this.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Box, damn right, right, And I always find there's always
this the odd every now and then the most unusual
flavored chocolate like coconut rough and gale and peppermint flavored.
It's a great scam from the chocolate and just my
friends in exactly the same position at the moment, and
he's trying to peddle chocolate around the neighbor but he's like,
I just want the school to go. How much you
(32:10):
are making on those box of chocolates?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay, twelve boats, I'll give you twelve save that's a
good theory. I seen her out there with their friends
the other day out in the street. They were I
was like, go out, and it's out to the neighborhood
as well. And so they came back and they promutch
sold most of the box, which was cool, but they
did say there was one house there was someone playing flute,
playing flute. They're like, great summertime. As soon as they
locked on the door, the flute stopped. They keep knocking
(32:33):
on the door, Keep knock on the door. No okay,
And then they left and as they left, the flutes.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I can just imagine the flouts just like Didley on
the floor.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
They're like, how long do we give knocking?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
It?
Speaker 4 (32:46):

Speaker 5 (32:49):
The TV going and someone knocks on the.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Door, you're like, you're pain, pain to all to be
in the neighborhood with.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
The flute still at the mouth, just calling their.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Noise. That is great.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
I eight hundred the hits. Why don't we give people
the chance right now? If you have been lumped with
two or three fundraisers, they just fundraising somosas lumbia somosa,
not when you've got a pedal thirty of them.
