<v Speaker 1>you've ever had?

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yeah, I've got one.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Can you kick us off jokes? Because you are you? Firstly,

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>are you a regular holiday takeing? Do you guys get

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>somewhere every year? Well?

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Yes, we try to, yeah, just to have something to

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 4>look forward to, you know, we all work hard. So

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 4>but we had booked a holiday to bar and Bay two,

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 4>the most magical place on Earth, which is Elements, and

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 4>it's this beautiful resort. It's like an Aco resort and

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 4>we take the kids there and we adore it, and

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 4>so we booked the flights and then I remember being

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>in the newsroom and looking on the Virgin website as

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 4>flight after flight after flight was canceled, and.

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what the hell is going on here?

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 4>And it was just as like COVID was hitting and

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 4>so they initially canceled our flight, so that cost us

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 4>minimum one day of this precious holiday that we'd booked

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 4>as a family, and then they rescheduled it. So normally

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>you would fly Adelaide's Gold Coast right, jump in a

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 4>car and it's a forty five minute drive to Barron Bay.

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 4>They re routed us from Adelaide to Melbourne to Hobart,

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 4>back to Melbourne and then up to the Gold Coast

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 4>and then we had the drive and back to Cudamundra,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 4>then to Cudemundra and then and then to Broom and

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 4>then to Bali. Yeah, and then we went past Bermuda

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 4>and then we came back to the Gold Coast. No,

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 4>it was it was absolutely nutsome, like traveling with three

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.279
<v Speaker 4>kids under ten.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>At the time, and three just had three kids.

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 4>No, they're not kids coming from you.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Your two year old, she's the devil sport. So yeah.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Then we eventually got there and the girls went into

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 4>the accommodation. It was like a fourteen hour day and

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>opened tried to open up one of their bags and realized, oh,

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 4>that's not our bag. I remember seeing this on social

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 4>media play out, so someone had taken her wrong bag.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 4>Then we went back through the airline to try and

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 4>track down this bag and he driven to Noos, which

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 4>is like the furthest part from Byron Bay that you

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 4>can get do you know what he said? He goes, Oh,

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't worry about it, just keep my bag. It's

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 4>just an overnight I don't want it. And they're like,

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 4>but you've got a little girl's bag. You need to

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 4>get it back to us. He's like, nah, don't worry

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 4>about it. And then the gorgeous glut version was like, well,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 4>it's theft now, so unless you want me to alert

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 4>the police, you have to hand over that bag. So

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 4>we ended up eventually they went to the end of

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 4>the earth to get it back to us. But absolute

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 4>effing nightmare.

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>She is a lesson and all that.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>What is it?

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I leave your kids home.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't travel with children? Yeah, we always say on this show.

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 4>And also build a build a virgin lounge at the

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 4>Hobaut airport because we were there for a couple of

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 4>hours and there ain't a lot to do. Once you've

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 4>perused the Tasmanian gin section, I'm tapped out.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>What else are going to do? The bottle of gin.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Go watch the Sheffield Shield, watched Tazzi play. I don't

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>think so thought. I remember in two thousand and five

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of mates that organize a surfing trip in Bali.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>So we've jetted off there and we've all got our

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>surfboards and our boogie boards and everything.

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I know where this story is going to go.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>And I remember getting to Dentasar and it feel a

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit strange, like I had my bodyboard backpack.

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Actually did feel a little bit heavier.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I'm going through and I've got a bit

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of a tap on the shoulder and they've taken my

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>bodyboard bag away from me and taken it through forensic

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>analysis all those types of things. And then I'm still

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to work out how this could possibly happen. But

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't bloody believe it happened. They found four point

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>two kilos of marijuana. Really yeah, ridiculous stuff. And then

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I spent the next nine years in a prison at

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Balley and I didn't get back and the officially parlled

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and back deported from Balley until twenty seventeen.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow, ridiculou stuff. I actually wrote book about it. Did

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you did you And do you make glass clocks now?

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Is that what you do? Glass?

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Hem?

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you sell them on Instagram?

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Haven't been back to BALI since.

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Mean dog.

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 4>Meantime, the sniff and dog that was sniffing your boogie

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 4>bag is like, still it a cover?

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 3>I was like, yeah, I swear, sorry, I swear this

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 3>story has happened to someone else.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:34.359
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Interesting my holiday, This was the best holiday of my life.

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 3>But I almost didn't get let into the country. So

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 3>I had decided I'd been really sick and I'd come

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>out the sort of other end of it, and I

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 3>decided I want to go and do a ktique tour

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 3>through America.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>So I went, sorry, I'm just going to say it.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 4>She decided she was going to root her away around Europe.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>American number too. There was only a few boys anyway,

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>so off I go, I book it all blah blah blah.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I realized Tank, my little sausage dog, I really

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>like he was a puppy and he I pull out

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 3>my passport and I see that he's chewed the side

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 3>of it. And obviously, and obviously we all know that

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 3>there's a big thing with taking passports that are damaged,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 3>so I had to rush through.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 2>I had to get a new one sent express.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 3>It's turned in something dollars blah blah blah, but you

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 3>all done fine, So get to America standing there with

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 3>my suitcase waiting till be let in, and the guy

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 3>customs goes, can you just stand to the side for me?

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, oh my god, Oh my god, what

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>What's happened on my own here? I'm freaking out.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I get sent into like the interrogation room and

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting there for I reckon. It was about forty

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 3>five minutes, and I'm waiting and waiting and waiting. They

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 3>finally they call me up and they go, why is

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 3>your passport number different to your visa number?

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm I'm like, oh my god, my dog chewed it.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Do your homework.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 3>And I'm also snoop dogg and I'm trying to explain

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 3>to them what's gone on. And I'm showing them like

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 3>here was my lodgment for the new passport and the

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 3>reason and this, and I'm going through everything and I'm

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>thinking in my head, if you don't get through this,

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 3>You've just like if they send me back, that's I've

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>put ten grand down on this, so I'm here for Thirsty.

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 3>I was there for thirty five days. I'm going to

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 3>what am I going to do? Anyway, got to the

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 3>point where they went, yep, okay, cool, we believe you. Yeah,

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 3>they issued a new visa off. I went to the

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 3>hotel and just thought I was so embarrassed and so

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 3>angry at myself that I thought, I'm never going to

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 3>tell anyone what's happened. So I didn't tell anyone the

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>big drama because I thought Mum was already like so

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 3>angry at me for booking it and going on my own.

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Best holiday ever. But yeah, nearly didn't get let in.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 3>It was a bit tipsy, so but anyway, yeah, great,

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 3>a great lesson to always make sure that her documents

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 3>numbers matchup.

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 4>So true, and then she rooted her way.

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Around the stace had to have a roster for something.
