Speaker 1: Morning every day every Adelaide.
Speaker 2: Get her.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gents, Welcome to a little bit of an
Speaker 1: extra podcast, little number we like to call the Extra
Speaker 1: podcast Number features myself Shody our news read Abbey's in here,
Speaker 1: as well as his producer Emily Gay. Guys, how are
Speaker 1: we feeling?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Great?
Speaker 2: Thanks the hell yeah? Hell yeah, right, it feels good.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about some of the worst holidays that
Speaker 1: you've ever had?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, I've got one.
Speaker 1: Can you kick us off jokes? Because you are you? Firstly,
Speaker 1: are you a regular holiday takeing? Do you guys get
Speaker 1: somewhere every year? Well?
Speaker 4: Yes, we try to, yeah, just to have something to
Speaker 4: look forward to, you know, we all work hard. So
Speaker 4: but we had booked a holiday to bar and Bay two,
Speaker 4: the most magical place on Earth, which is Elements, and
Speaker 4: it's this beautiful resort. It's like an Aco resort and
Speaker 4: we take the kids there and we adore it, and
Speaker 4: so we booked the flights and then I remember being
Speaker 4: in the newsroom and looking on the Virgin website as
Speaker 4: flight after flight after flight was canceled, and.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 4: And it was just as like COVID was hitting and
Speaker 4: so they initially canceled our flight, so that cost us
Speaker 4: minimum one day of this precious holiday that we'd booked
Speaker 4: as a family, and then they rescheduled it. So normally
Speaker 4: you would fly Adelaide's Gold Coast right, jump in a
Speaker 4: car and it's a forty five minute drive to Barron Bay.
Speaker 4: They re routed us from Adelaide to Melbourne to Hobart,
Speaker 4: back to Melbourne and then up to the Gold Coast
Speaker 4: and then we had the drive and back to Cudamundra,
Speaker 4: then to Cudemundra and then and then to Broom and
Speaker 4: then to Bali. Yeah, and then we went past Bermuda
Speaker 4: and then we came back to the Gold Coast. No,
Speaker 4: it was it was absolutely nutsome, like traveling with three
Speaker 4: kids under ten.
Speaker 1: At the time, and three just had three kids.
Speaker 4: No, they're not kids coming from you.
Speaker 2: Your two year old, she's the devil sport. So yeah.
Speaker 4: Then we eventually got there and the girls went into
Speaker 4: the accommodation. It was like a fourteen hour day and
Speaker 4: opened tried to open up one of their bags and realized, oh,
Speaker 4: that's not our bag. I remember seeing this on social
Speaker 4: media play out, so someone had taken her wrong bag.
Speaker 4: Then we went back through the airline to try and
Speaker 4: track down this bag and he driven to Noos, which
Speaker 4: is like the furthest part from Byron Bay that you
Speaker 4: can get do you know what he said? He goes, Oh,
Speaker 4: I don't worry about it, just keep my bag. It's
Speaker 4: just an overnight I don't want it. And they're like,
Speaker 4: but you've got a little girl's bag. You need to
Speaker 4: get it back to us. He's like, nah, don't worry
Speaker 4: about it. And then the gorgeous glut version was like, well,
Speaker 4: it's theft now, so unless you want me to alert
Speaker 4: the police, you have to hand over that bag. So
Speaker 4: we ended up eventually they went to the end of
Speaker 4: the earth to get it back to us. But absolute
Speaker 4: effing nightmare.
Speaker 1: She is a lesson and all that.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 1: I leave your kids home.
Speaker 2: Don't travel with children? Yeah, we always say on this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And also build a build a virgin lounge at the
Speaker 4: Hobaut airport because we were there for a couple of
Speaker 4: hours and there ain't a lot to do. Once you've
Speaker 4: perused the Tasmanian gin section, I'm tapped out.
Speaker 2: What else are going to do? The bottle of gin.
Speaker 1: Go watch the Sheffield Shield, watched Tazzi play. I don't
Speaker 1: think so thought. I remember in two thousand and five
Speaker 1: a couple of mates that organize a surfing trip in Bali.
Speaker 1: So we've jetted off there and we've all got our
Speaker 1: surfboards and our boogie boards and everything.
Speaker 2: I know where this story is going to go.
Speaker 1: And I remember getting to Dentasar and it feel a
Speaker 1: little bit strange, like I had my bodyboard backpack.
Speaker 2: Actually did feel a little bit heavier.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm going through and I've got a bit
Speaker 1: of a tap on the shoulder and they've taken my
Speaker 1: bodyboard bag away from me and taken it through forensic
Speaker 1: analysis all those types of things. And then I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to work out how this could possibly happen. But
Speaker 1: you wouldn't bloody believe it happened. They found four point
Speaker 1: two kilos of marijuana. Really yeah, ridiculous stuff. And then
Speaker 1: I spent the next nine years in a prison at
Speaker 1: Balley and I didn't get back and the officially parlled
Speaker 1: and back deported from Balley until twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Wow, ridiculou stuff. I actually wrote book about it. Did
Speaker 2: you did you And do you make glass clocks now?
Speaker 2: Is that what you do? Glass?
Speaker 4: Hem?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Do you sell them on Instagram?
Speaker 1: Haven't been back to BALI since.
Speaker 2: Mean dog.
Speaker 4: Meantime, the sniff and dog that was sniffing your boogie
Speaker 4: bag is like, still it a cover?
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I swear, sorry, I swear this
Speaker 3: story has happened to someone else.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Interesting my holiday, This was the best holiday of my life.
Speaker 3: But I almost didn't get let into the country. So
Speaker 3: I had decided I'd been really sick and I'd come
Speaker 3: out the sort of other end of it, and I
Speaker 3: decided I want to go and do a ktique tour
Speaker 3: through America.
Speaker 2: So I went, sorry, I'm just going to say it.
Speaker 4: She decided she was going to root her away around Europe.
Speaker 2: American number too. There was only a few boys anyway,
Speaker 2: so off I go, I book it all blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I realized Tank, my little sausage dog, I really
Speaker 3: like he was a puppy and he I pull out
Speaker 3: my passport and I see that he's chewed the side
Speaker 3: of it. And obviously, and obviously we all know that
Speaker 3: there's a big thing with taking passports that are damaged,
Speaker 3: so I had to rush through.
Speaker 2: I had to get a new one sent express.
Speaker 3: It's turned in something dollars blah blah blah, but you
Speaker 3: all done fine, So get to America standing there with
Speaker 3: my suitcase waiting till be let in, and the guy
Speaker 3: customs goes, can you just stand to the side for me?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my god, Oh my god, what
Speaker 2: What's happened on my own here? I'm freaking out.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I get sent into like the interrogation room and
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there for I reckon. It was about forty
Speaker 3: five minutes, and I'm waiting and waiting and waiting. They
Speaker 3: finally they call me up and they go, why is
Speaker 3: your passport number different to your visa number?
Speaker 2: Oh I'm I'm like, oh my god, my dog chewed it.
Speaker 2: Do your homework.
Speaker 3: And I'm also snoop dogg and I'm trying to explain
Speaker 3: to them what's gone on. And I'm showing them like
Speaker 3: here was my lodgment for the new passport and the
Speaker 3: reason and this, and I'm going through everything and I'm
Speaker 3: thinking in my head, if you don't get through this,
Speaker 3: You've just like if they send me back, that's I've
Speaker 3: put ten grand down on this, so I'm here for Thirsty.
Speaker 3: I was there for thirty five days. I'm going to
Speaker 3: what am I going to do? Anyway, got to the
Speaker 3: point where they went, yep, okay, cool, we believe you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they issued a new visa off. I went to the
Speaker 3: hotel and just thought I was so embarrassed and so
Speaker 3: angry at myself that I thought, I'm never going to
Speaker 3: tell anyone what's happened. So I didn't tell anyone the
Speaker 3: big drama because I thought Mum was already like so
Speaker 3: angry at me for booking it and going on my own.
Speaker 2: Best holiday ever. But yeah, nearly didn't get let in.
Speaker 3: It was a bit tipsy, so but anyway, yeah, great,
Speaker 3: a great lesson to always make sure that her documents
Speaker 3: numbers matchup.
Speaker 4: So true, and then she rooted her way.
Speaker 2: Around the stace had to have a roster for something.
