00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: the row behind business class you get extra they're charging you.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 3: Now.

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: I have about all these extra fees you got to

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: pay now to get seats.

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: What do you mean seat selection?

00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: they've put that up and they've done it with Row

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: four now as well. But every now and then I

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: can snag one because I get the extra leg room.

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: And as the plane landed yesterday and there was a

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: lady quite posh.

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: She was in business and as.

00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: I got up to go get my bag, she was

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: staring at me.

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: What's she staring up before? Brother?

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, God, did you vote for Trevor? Who

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: did you vote for? And she said Merlin? And I said,

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: I said are you okay? And she said, my hats

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: up there?

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Do not?

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: I hope your bag hasn't gone on to my hat?

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Watch my hat?

29
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,080

00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't know hats anyway.

32
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: So anyway, when I was at the airport, right I'm

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: going up, I make escalators are starting to freak me

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: out a little bit here as well. So we were

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: talking about this before escalators go up travelators, let's try

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: to go across across horizontal, right, but escalators will Tommy,

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: didn't you just bring up as well that you're not

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: supposed to wear crocs on escalators or traveler.

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Particularly it's Sydney Airport. They have a lot of

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: there's warning signs last year, the particularly kids the crocs

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: are getting careful of the crocs on there evators. It's scary.

42
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: Right.

43
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: So I'm going up an escalator. So I've got my

44
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: carry on bag right, and you know you've got the

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: handle that you pull up that you can actually and

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: then you wheel you carry on bag. I get onto

47
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: the escalator, I put my carry on there with the

48
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: handle up. Then I get my backpack out and I

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: had to put my sonnies in their case in my backpack,

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: so I put the sunnies in the case, put the

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: backpack on as I go to swing my backpack back

52
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: onto my back. I've knocked my carry on luggage. It's

53
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: not tumbling down the escalator and it's on the back

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: of it, so it's nice and flat picking up speed

55
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: and it's going down like a roaring trail. I'm not joking.

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: There's an old lady about fifteen steps down, and it

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: was I'm not joking with It's like slow motion. She

58
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: could see it coming, and unfortunately she was elderly, so

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: she just.

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Couldn't get out of the way. I've taken it legs out.

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: Oh no, this was not the woman with a hat

62
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: in her carry on. Well, no, I did deliberately throw

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: your suitcase at a woman because of a incident.

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: So she okay, no, Well, I was so apologetic and

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: I said she was fine. She only needed her left

66
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: leg amputated. Right one was fine, and the escalator did that.

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: And there was a I looked over and there were

68
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: so many people that sort of rushed over and said

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: you okay. She was tough. She was like, no, eveything's fine,

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: that's fine. And there was this one guy. I remember

71
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: as I'm getting up, and I felt so bad, and

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: I could see this guy in the corner with just

73
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: a smirk on his face. He thought it was the

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: funniest thing he's ever seen. And did you say, not funny, mate,

75
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: it's not funny. You should go and.

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Try and help it.

77
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: Did you video at it because we could win Funniest

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Stone videos with that one.

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: It could be a bit of coin in it. And

80
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: did he did she get wheeled off in a wheelchair?

81
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,559
Speaker 1: Or was she okay? Was she able to walk? Escalators?

82
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: We got to talk about escalators because there's they can attack.

83
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: We had Tash Belling on the phone and on the

84
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: show a while ago and she had fallen down one

85
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: and the damage to her leg. You know how it's

86
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: got those grooves in it, tongue and groove as it

87
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: goes around the corner.

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: She had those.

89
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: Marks all the way down her leg.

90
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Have you unbelievable?

91
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: Have you been a tax by an escalator before? What

92
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: have you seen on a travelator an escalator? Caroline in ride?

93
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: What happened? Caroline?

94
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: So I was going down from escalators during my lunch

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 5: breakdown at Braangaroo and my skirt got caught in the side,

96
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 5: so I had to yell out for somebody at the

97
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 5: bottom and suppress the emergency stopped and they came running

98
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 5: through me, but we couldn't release my skirt. As my

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: skirt was then coming down my legs. I thought I

100
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: was gonna lose my skirt. Oh, so someone had to

101
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: come out from the shop next door and actually cut

102
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: me out. Oh my god, the bottom of my skirt skirline.

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: You had underpants on, didn't you.

104
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 6: Thank God.

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking because you imagine it would have felt

106
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: like you were about to be eaten. So it would

107
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: have been like, oh my god, if the skirt has

108
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: to come off.

109
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

110
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a little bit embarrassing.

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow.

112
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Luckily someone was there to the emergency button, because if

113
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: you were down the bottom, it just would have made

114
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: straight off Caroline.

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: They would have been a great video.

116
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: Julie in men I escalator attacks Jewels.

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 6: Yes, I was on the travelator at a shopping center

118
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 6: in South Village and I had a trolley full of

119
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 6: shopping and the wheels didn't lock, you know, the shopping

120
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 6: tooles wheel should lock, didn't lock, so it took off.

121
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 6: Oh no, pace, sir, And it got to the bottom

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 6: and it flipped over and I flipped over the top

123
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 6: of it. But there was glass plate windows at the end,

124
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 6: so I had visions of it smashing through the glass

125
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: plate windows. And again luckily there was no little child

126
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 6: or lady. But my kids actually want CCT footage.

127
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Julie, I think about that. I think

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: about that all the time. Even though the wheels lock

129
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 4: up on the trolley, I always hold onto the handles, thinking, imagine,

130
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: it's the thing ran there's one hundred kilos of food

131
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: in here.

132
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: I can't hold it well.

133
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 6: I locked it actually locked initially, and I was putting

134
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 6: my phone into my wallet, and yeah, I just sort

135
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 6: of let go for a foot second and it took

136
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 6: off and I thought I had it. I said, my

137
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 6: arms were going and it just got to the bottom

138
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 6: and flipped and I went right over the top of it.

139
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 6: Had I broke my right coat, big coat, and bruised

140
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 6: up the inside of my arm.

141
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, the vibe, I mean, it's it worth a

142
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: bit of a laugh now, Julia, are we time plus

143
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 4: tragedy equals comedy.

144
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 6: Definitely definitely made the kids call me unco.

145
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: You know, great, as long as they're ripping into you,

146
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 4: that's good for great story.

147
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Julia dominating Legano.

148
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about escalators. What do you got done morning?

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: I've had three separate in three separate incidents of kids'

150
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: shoes getting stuck in a particular shopping center in Sydney,

151
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: both of my kids, five years apart, pulling their shoes

152
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: out of me.

153
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 5: It's got a cross stole shoes.

154
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: Pulling them out. Plus I was behind another a seargeil

155
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: and it's like shoe and the sock wall stuck and

156
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: we're pulling out frantically and everyone's screaming in the middle

157
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: of the shopping center and the escalators right in the middle,

158
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: and it was just.

159
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to picture how a shoe gets caught in

160
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: the escalator.

161
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: That's those little teeth at the end.

162
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: He's got any of the shoes that have those kind

163
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: of holes, but the crocs and them like any of that,

164
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: because there's like sometimes you can get those kind of

165
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: booty shoes, but they still got the hooks and they

166
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: get caught in the.

167
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: Escalator, right and so not you're talking about just where

168
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: the escalator rolls over at the end, or you're talking

169
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: about on the sides right when it.

170
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: Comes to the end, very bit for the kids, which.

171
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 2: Just goes to show I think the most important lesson

172
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: there is that even escalators hate crocs.

173
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the escalators are doing their bit for the community

174
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: by trying to eat the crocs off the kids.

175
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: They actually program the tram relators to actually eat crocs

176
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: as soon as there's another take them. It's in Whipper
