Speaker 2: he's late to work, right, He's trying to turn it

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: into a bit of a joke, and he's been completely honest.

00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 4: What were you late today?

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,080

Speaker 3: you mean?

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,520

Speaker 3: Seven o'clock o'clock?

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: But I was going I slept all day yesterday so

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: I could game all night.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: And he's rocked up to work late. Brother, he's got

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: a life, hasn't he? How exciting had.

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Got thirteen twenty fourteen? And I'd love to hear from

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: bosses out their worst excuses that you've heard for either

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: being late or having a day off.

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, the guy I used to work with and he

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 6: would do it. Every time you knew it was a

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 6: nice day, he would call him sick. But when he

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 6: would call him sick, you could hear other cars going

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 6: past because he knew he had his surfboard on the roof.

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: The sound of the ocean.

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 6: He was going to catch a wave, but he was

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 6: as crooked as a dog and couldn't get out of bed.

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: Not going to make it in today.

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: That I remember at Mitsubishi. I remember at Mitsubishi there

39
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: was they actually introduced this was the greatest thing ever.

40
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: They said, instead of ringing in sick, there will be

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: an answering machine that will go straight to the section

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: that you work in, and the boss gets there every

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: morning and he listens to voicemail messages. Doesn't matter what

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: time of the night it is. If you're going to

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: be sick and can't come into work the next day,

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: don't leave it till seven. Our boss used to play

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: us back the voice messages from guys that didn't rock

48
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: up to the section. Be them at a nightclub.

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: Crookers a dog.

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: I'm going to be sick in four hours. I can

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 5: feel it.

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 3: Crook is a dog. But I don't think I'll be

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: able to get into the seat section. Tomorrow you're on

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: the patiom mate, come on your term.

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: There is something nice about an element of honesty, though

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: there is.

57
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 6: But you know everybody still goes the gastro angle, don't they.

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 6: I've got an upset stomach because no one's going to

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 6: ask questions about boo activity.

60
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: Are they are?

61
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: Brendan and Mountain And what was the worst excuse that

62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: you've had to take the day off for good Morning.

63
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: I used to work in Brisbane, live on the Gold Coast,

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: so I'd trouble up to Brisbane every day for work.

65
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: Beautiful weather up in Brisbane, but if it were raining

66
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: on the Gold Coast, half of my workforce or the

67
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 4: trades would not drive up to prison because it was

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: raining on the Gold Coast. Couzan to get phone calls.

69
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 4: It's raining made I'm in Brisbane, it's there up the road,

70
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: complete different weather patterns.

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: It's drive in the rain, That's correct.

72
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: It was absolutely ludicrous, Zach.

73
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: What was the excuse you heard?

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: So it wasn't actually me? It was my footy coach.

75
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: We just won our semi final and I got taken

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: off in an ambulance for a really bad concussion. And

77
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: while I'm in hospital, all the boys are gone back

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: to the coach's house for a massive vendor and he

79
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: coaches sitting in the lund room at free in the morning,

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: thinking of an excuse to not coming to work. So

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: he told his boss or want of me footy players

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: in the hospital? Mate, I've been here with him all

83
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: night and he told me. When he rocked up to

84
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: work on Tuesday, the boss come up to him and said, mate,

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect anything less from you. That's just the

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: type of bloke you are.

87
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: Oh how good is that?

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: That is brilliant exactly, Kayler and Gamden.

89
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: Worst excuse, Well, I was a retail manager for many years,

90
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: so I heard a lot of interesting ones. But probably

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 5: the worst was I had a girl bring me at

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: probably fifteen minutes before we're about to open and say, look,

93
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 5: I've been trying to get into this hair dress up

94
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: for ages. I need to do a full head of

95
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 5: hair extensions and I can't do any other day, so

96
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: I'm just not going to make it.

97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: It don't come back, Oh Kayler, but did you?

98
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: Did you appreciate the honesty?

99
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: Not?

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 5: It was just me and I guess you couldn't.

101
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: Have to work the next day with a full head

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: of extensions and go oh, I was in bed all day,

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: Matt and boy boy, worst excuse you've heard, Maddie.

104
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: So we had a fresh first year apprentice, probably two

105
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: weeks in, decided to call up saying, Yep, I can't

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: make it in my neighbor's.

107
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: Cuts on the bonnet of my car and I'm allergic

108
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: to cat.

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: You've got to be kidding me. That is the best

110
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: I've ever heard, Needles. We just we just did the

111
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: topic what did you leave on the top of the car?

112
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: That is unbelievably Love the young kids in their honesty, though,

113
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: get out.

114
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: Two weeks into an apprenticeship, Turn up.
