Speaker 1: I understand what I'm about to talk about is super
Speaker 1: super niche. But I'm confident. I'm confident. I just want
Speaker 1: to get one call on this. On thirteen twenty four
Speaker 1: ten near missus, did you narrowly avoid death? And the
Speaker 1: reason is because you forgot something right?
Speaker 2: You're right, it is natural, extremely nat.
Speaker 1: But if you fit this niache little category, then you
Speaker 1: can go into the running for a winter week and escape.
Speaker 1: And this is where we send you away to somewhere beautiful,
Speaker 1: like the Clare Valley for example, just to have a
Speaker 1: gorgeous weekend in winter.
Speaker 3: Okay. The reason I.
Speaker 1: Bring this up is because when we went down to
Speaker 1: Crown Jodie and Hazy's or Adelaide's most Awesome Coffee, we
Speaker 1: were down at Port no longer. As After we serve
Speaker 1: said coffee, I went next door to a little boutique
Speaker 1: called Charlie Rose, which is lovely down there. And anyway,
Speaker 1: so while I was in there, a woman forgot something.
Speaker 1: So she came back into the shop. She had left
Speaker 1: her wallet in the chain dreams right, and so she
Speaker 1: walks back into the shop and the lovely lady who
Speaker 1: was running it said her, I need you to stay
Speaker 1: here for a couple of minutes. And I was like,
Speaker 1: that's a bit odd, And I said, why do you
Speaker 1: need to stay here for a couple of minutes? And
Speaker 1: she said, Okay, have you seen have you seen that
Speaker 1: clip on Facebook where there's a man in Mudgy goes
Speaker 1: out to his car, puts some stuff in his cart,
Speaker 1: and realizes he's forgotten his phone back in the house.
Speaker 2: Was it the male model for Mudget? Wasn't Ken Sucker?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 3: What the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 2: Mudge? Mudgy?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Anyway, so he goes back into the house and as
Speaker 1: he goes back into the house, a tree falls on
Speaker 1: his car. Oh wow, And if that's not fate, I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, because he would have died, like.
Speaker 5: He didn't forget his walk. Yes, and he went and
Speaker 5: he was getting his car, he potentially got cleaned up
Speaker 5: by a tree and.
Speaker 3: Death, brown bread dead.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about so sure enough, the woman stayed
Speaker 1: back in the boot tache and then she went about
Speaker 1: her day.
Speaker 3: I'm presumed she's like, I haven't heard.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, But do you believe in those sliding moments, haz Well,
Speaker 1: something happens, you forget something and you have to go
Speaker 1: back and you think, oh my god, if I hadn't.
Speaker 3: Have done that, then I would have died.
Speaker 5: See, that's ridiculous. The big famous story for near misses
Speaker 5: is Seth mcpharlane. So he's the Family Guy creator. So
Speaker 5: he'd been scheduled to be on an American Airlines flight
Speaker 5: eleven that hit the North Tower for nine to eleven,
Speaker 5: and he arrived at the airport late, so he missed
Speaker 5: the flight. So I mean essentially he forgot to get
Speaker 5: there on time. Yeah, but if he'd been on the
Speaker 5: flood that you were supposed to be on, he would
Speaker 5: have hit the tower, and of course he would have died.
Speaker 3: I mean, is that whatever?
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you believe in God, is that
Speaker 1: just someone the great divine intervening going now?
Speaker 3: Is not your time?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 5: We need that Family Guy humoor Seth. Yes, we're keeping
Speaker 5: you around.
Speaker 3: It's so true. But I did so now on it's
Speaker 3: going to be in the back of my brain.
Speaker 1: If I ever forget something, I'm just going to hang
Speaker 1: here for a couple of seconds, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Or you're forgiving yourself when you make mistakes and forget things.
Speaker 2: You're like, no, it's fate. I'm actually doing myself a favor.
Speaker 1: My horrendous short term memory is now doing me a
Speaker 1: favor and it's going to save my life.
Speaker 2: What would you near me?
Speaker 5: Sort of sliding doors, mum at all calls to get
Speaker 5: on air. We want to put you on the stand
Speaker 5: by list for a little winter weekend escape.
Speaker 3: Well, who can forget Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, if his face had have
Speaker 1: been front on when that guy tried to assassinate him,
Speaker 1: have been all over.
Speaker 5: The doctor said that FBI has just confirmed that it
Speaker 5: was a real bullet. For all the conspiracy theorists out there, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Initially we just thought it was the glass from the tellyprompt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just thought he has had a bit of
Speaker 5: a leaky, leaky, bloody ear.
Speaker 2: Yeah for some reason. Yeah, let's go to Tracey. Good morning, Trace.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 6: Okay, I've had two. So one was the actual the
Speaker 6: Royal Show when the sin Dragon crashed down on people.
Speaker 6: I was in the line with my friend to go
Speaker 6: on the ride and they asked us if we wanted
Speaker 6: to go on this ride or the next one, the
Speaker 6: next circle, and we said we'll wait for the next
Speaker 6: one because we wanted to be on the back of
Speaker 6: the ride so when it's upside down people can see
Speaker 6: you from up, you can see your friends and your
Speaker 6: upside down and so and so we're waiting. Then I said,
Speaker 6: can we just go around back because we're going to
Speaker 6: be on the back when it goes on the next
Speaker 6: He said yeah, and he just we just moved and
Speaker 6: then it landed on the other people and I felt
Speaker 6: so guilty about that that he didn't land on us.
Speaker 6: And then the second time, I was just going to
Speaker 6: the doctor surgery and I just stopped and thought, oh
Speaker 6: I posted the first or where I go in, And
Speaker 6: I stopped and then a learner driver was driving and
Speaker 6: they took the corner too fast and they went right
Speaker 6: through the doctor survery window. Continued walking. It would have
Speaker 6: hit me.
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, your cat.
Speaker 3: He said, you a cat. You've got no live straight.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 6: I think I'm running from the Grim Reaper.
Speaker 5: Really you are in all these situations, did you see
Speaker 5: the Grim Reaper somewhere in the distance?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, trace quite seriously, you have dodged death twice.
Speaker 1: That is quite remarkable. Does it changed your perspective and
Speaker 1: the way you go about things.
Speaker 6: I definitely trust my intuition really do, like just this, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's just I just go with my gut feeling. But yeah,
Speaker 6: it's just Yeah. It was bizarre at the time, you know,
Speaker 6: the first one happened with a skin dragon. There was
Speaker 6: like a lot of guilt and you know, yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 6: just trust and intuition.
Speaker 3: Tracy. Goodness, that's incredible.
Speaker 1: I didn't think we're going to get any calls, not
Speaker 1: alone someone who's dodged death twice.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Michelle, Good morning.
Speaker 8: I had an experience with my family. We're in the
Speaker 8: cyclay Tracy in nineteen seventy four, and my father was
Speaker 8: in comfortactic because it was Christmas time, and my mom
Speaker 8: was tolding me. I was about nine months old and
Speaker 8: she had a two year old she was hanging on
Speaker 8: to trying to get my father to get into the
Speaker 8: caravan because their house had been flattened and we had
Speaker 8: a caravan as well, just kind of shelter from the cyclone. Anyway,
Speaker 8: we got to the caravan and trying to pull that
Speaker 8: into the caravan in recused to get in there. So
Speaker 8: my mum was hysterical screaming at him as he would
Speaker 8: and he's just refused slotly, and he's pulling her out
Speaker 8: and they're having a bit of a fight, and then
Speaker 8: Dad said there's no way I'm getting in there, and
Speaker 8: he pulled her out and pulled us out. We fell
Speaker 8: on the ground, and then next minute the caravan was
Speaker 8: absolutely flattened by a tree where we escaped. And I've
Speaker 8: gone on to live in the Adelaide Hills and have
Speaker 8: four beautiful children, and I've had many experiences with things
Speaker 8: that have happened where I've had really good second chances
Speaker 8: in my life. So I'm really thankful.
Speaker 2: Who would have thought that's unbelievable, was sure? Who would
Speaker 2: have thought as well?
Speaker 5: For the first time ever, my dad has got blind
Speaker 5: Christmas and.
Speaker 1: Then the hero, Oh that's unbelievable. Goodness, Josh, what was
Speaker 1: your near miss moment?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this isn't a funny one, but I was
Speaker 4: driving the forklift at my work and as I was
Speaker 4: driving down one of the aisles was scanning in cartons
Speaker 4: of alcohol. And so one day, as I was scanning them,
Speaker 4: I've gone to go on my forklift and I've completely
Speaker 4: forgotten the scanner and I've left it on a pallet
Speaker 4: on a pallette. I've actually gotten off the forklift, grabbed
Speaker 4: it and gotten back on the forklift, and as I'm
Speaker 4: going to take off a palette from the very top shelf,
Speaker 4: it has fallen almost crushed me. Oh my, So if
Speaker 4: I didn't forget that scanner, I would have gotten crushed
Speaker 4: by that palette of alcohol.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's one of those moments, very close.
Speaker 2: What about as soon as it.
Speaker 5: Happened, Josh, Like, what what was your first feelings?
Speaker 2: Like what was going through your brain?
Speaker 5: Because it is that one of those moments where you
Speaker 5: kind of you sit there and you really really recollect
Speaker 5: the life.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you could say in my life flush before my eyes,
Speaker 7: I guess, But but no, at the time, I was
Speaker 7: just worried about it if everyone else was staying For the time,
Speaker 7: I wasn't really concerned about my self, but.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to make sure everyone else is okay
Speaker 4: because there was a lot of people and that at
Speaker 4: the time so.
Speaker 3: Generally Josh, So just so unclear.
Speaker 1: You went to get the scanner and as you came
Speaker 1: back to the forklift, that's when it fell.
Speaker 4: That's when it fell right in front of me, about
Speaker 4: a meter in front of me, and I got to
Speaker 4: blush with alcohol.
Speaker 2: But yeah, what was the alcohol.
Speaker 5: It was a bit of everything, tell you what, because
Speaker 5: it was those red tins.
Speaker 3: Josh, that's incredible. Thank you so much for that. Should
Speaker 3: we take another one? I think so, Shelley, as we're
Speaker 3: talking about this.
Speaker 1: Just on the back of I was in a shop
Speaker 1: the other day and a woman came back forgot her phone,
Speaker 1: and the woman in the shop's.
Speaker 3: Like, stay here, stay here for two minutes. It's a sign.
Speaker 3: So she did. Shelley, good morning. What happened with you?
Speaker 9: Well, I've had three. One was terrorism and one brushed
Speaker 9: with terrorism, and one was almost drowning in a pool
Speaker 9: as a kid. But the one where my lovely voice
Speaker 9: said I like to talk to people who it saved
Speaker 9: me was I was in a retail store calling in
Speaker 9: on them and I was about to leave, and I
Speaker 9: stopped and was talking about the fact that I joined
Speaker 9: the band because the lady I talked to in the
Speaker 9: office there we talk about music. And as I did that,
Speaker 9: a truck went past the shop that I was in
Speaker 9: flicked up a storewater drain and cover which had the
Speaker 9: weight on it. Funnily enough, because I looked at it afterwards,
Speaker 9: which was I think forty five toos or something, and
Speaker 9: it flicked up. It hit the top of my roof
Speaker 9: where my head would have been if I was getting
Speaker 9: into the car. Then it because it flicks sort of
Speaker 9: like diagonally and round and round like a span, and
Speaker 9: then it hit the door handle, so I could have
Speaker 9: been maimed on my arm. And then it actually hit
Speaker 9: the ash belt in the car part and left a massive,
Speaker 9: big chunk.
Speaker 8: Out of the ash belt in a car park.
Speaker 9: So I think I would have been dead if I
Speaker 9: was getting into the car at the time that I
Speaker 9: was going to get.
Speaker 3: Into the car.
Speaker 9: Pure luck and timing.
Speaker 5: That's unbelievable right now, Shelley, if it was a scene
Speaker 5: and final destination, it would have got you, because that's
Speaker 5: what it's all about.
Speaker 2: That's that is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: So, Shelley, did it change you like after that? We
Speaker 5: did you have a different perspective on life?
Speaker 9: I think that's all changed me to a degree. With
Speaker 9: the terrorism one that sort of gave me my fear
Speaker 9: of flying because that was to do with a plane.
Speaker 9: I don't definitely be more careful when I drive, but yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm just more aware of my surroundings again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, thank you, Shelley, thank you so much. Goodness
Speaker 1: me you are also in the running for our winter
Speaker 1: weekend games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's terrifying.
Speaker 2: Should we keep putting out there? What about that? You
Speaker 2: were like, I hope we just get one call.
Speaker 1: I know, full border calls all of a sudden, We're
Speaker 1: just flatten through Allison.
Speaker 3: Okay, what was your near death experience?
Speaker 10: Driving to Earth late late and going probably a little
Speaker 10: too fast, And you know how it is where one
Speaker 10: traffic lane always flows free and the one in the
Speaker 10: opposite direction is sort of bumper to bumper and rarely slowed.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 10: Well, I was going in the one that was flowing
Speaker 10: fast and got distracted for a moment, and when I
Speaker 10: looked up, the car in front of me had stopped
Speaker 10: because they were turning right and they couldn't turn right
Speaker 10: because of the oncoming traffic was bumper to bumper, and
Speaker 10: I knew I was going to hit the back of
Speaker 10: him at full speed. I didn't even have time to
Speaker 10: hit my brake. And then the traffic opened up on
Speaker 10: the other side. Someone had let him in and I
Speaker 10: sort of passed unscathed, and when I looked up it
Speaker 10: was my sister. Oh, had left the car in.
Speaker 2: Did you had no idea that that was your sister?
Speaker 10: No, I only as it all happened. I was like
Speaker 10: in shock, like stirring at this open space in front
Speaker 10: of me where there'd been a car, and my sister
Speaker 10: had seen it sort of happening in the opposite direction,
Speaker 10: and she'd let the car in. She had stopped, and
Speaker 10: we've kind of stared at each other in absolute shock.
Speaker 10: It was amazing.
Speaker 3: That's incredible.
Speaker 1: So she wasn't the car that you were going to hear,
Speaker 1: she was the car that let the car through.
Speaker 6: The car through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, goodness, Yeah, literally like that you saying your sister, Hey, sis,
Speaker 1: you just saved my life.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, it would have been a bad accident had it happened.
Speaker 10: I don't know that I would have died, but it
Speaker 10: would have been a bad accident.
Speaker 2: And my pult.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Alison Vanessa. What was your sliding
Speaker 1: doors moment?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 11: I was at a house party and we were playing
Speaker 11: dart and our children were on their iPads leaning against
Speaker 11: the roller door, and one little girl says, I need
Speaker 11: to go to the bathroom, and the other one says,
Speaker 11: I'll take you and I say it, let me open
Speaker 11: the sliding door to the house, and as we do that,
Speaker 11: a car crashes through the roller door and it would
Speaker 11: have taken all three of us out. It literally stopped
Speaker 11: on their iPads. Wow, which is right where they were sitting.
Speaker 11: They would have been gone.
Speaker 5: Finally, a toddler who needs to get it has paid off.
Speaker 3: My So, what happened with the car that just lost control?
Speaker 11: Yep, so it just well, it actually crashed into the driveway,
Speaker 11: lost control, but hit the parked car and pushed that
Speaker 11: car through the roll at all.
Speaker 2: Wow, it would have been horrible scenes.
Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, it was horrendous. But imagine if the
Speaker 11: children were right there.
Speaker 3: Oh. I don't even want to think about it.
Speaker 1: That's awfulness, do you know because through my other job
Speaker 1: at ten, I've done so many accidents like this. When
Speaker 1: I'm on the street with my children or I'm waiting
Speaker 1: to cross a road, I will stand in front of
Speaker 1: them always because I am so anxious and paranoid about
Speaker 1: a car losing control.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because you see so much stuff now, particular social media.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a horrible, horrible set of affairs.
Speaker 2: Real lucky people out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah,
