28
00:01:39,481 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: are massive fans of live music.

29
00:01:41,681 --> 00:01:44,521

00:02:19,041 --> 00:02:21,401
Speaker 2: fans of live music. They got to go to this concert.

44
00:02:21,481 --> 00:02:24,281
Speaker 2: That was exciting. They got dressed super fast. This was

45
00:02:24,321 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: like Saturday evening at like five o'clock, and so then

46
00:02:28,561 --> 00:02:29,921
Speaker 2: they were dressed and ready to go.

47
00:02:30,201 --> 00:02:31,041
Speaker 1: Jay dropped them off.

48
00:02:31,481 --> 00:02:34,081
Speaker 4: All good, and now I said to them, you're going

49
00:02:34,161 --> 00:02:34,721
Speaker 4: to need to get.

50
00:02:34,601 --> 00:02:37,761
Speaker 2: An uber home because Saturday night, I don't know what

51
00:02:37,881 --> 00:02:39,041
Speaker 2: time it's going to finish.

52
00:02:39,121 --> 00:02:41,761
Speaker 4: We're going to have a few wines, Like yeah.

53
00:02:41,601 --> 00:02:44,161
Speaker 2: Just jumping an uber. I thought about the logistics of

54
00:02:44,361 --> 00:02:47,761
Speaker 2: ubers after a concert finishes, and it's a pain in

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,201
Speaker 2: the ass and I didn't want that to end up

56
00:02:50,201 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: being my pain in the ass, and so I just said,

57
00:02:52,601 --> 00:02:55,401
Speaker 2: jump in a taxi. Just join the taxi line, and

58
00:02:55,441 --> 00:02:58,681
Speaker 2: then jump in a taxi. Just a side note, Rach,

59
00:02:58,841 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: they decided not to take a jacket, and it was feels.

60
00:03:03,161 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it was grease, Yeah it was meant to.

61
00:03:06,481 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, on Saturday night, they've got in the taxi rate.

62
00:03:10,601 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: And first of all, it took them like an hour.

63
00:03:13,401 --> 00:03:16,361
Speaker 2: They didn't get in a taxi until midnight.

64
00:03:17,081 --> 00:03:17,761
Speaker 1: Sucks.

65
00:03:18,121 --> 00:03:21,481
Speaker 2: And so obviously I stayed up because that's what you

66
00:03:21,561 --> 00:03:23,761
Speaker 2: have to do. And I said, let me know when

67
00:03:23,761 --> 00:03:27,081
Speaker 2: you're close and I'll come out and pay for the taxi.

68
00:03:27,321 --> 00:03:30,241
Speaker 2: And then Holly goes, oh, no, we've already paid. Well,

69
00:03:30,281 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: what do you mean we've already paid. He made us

70
00:03:32,601 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: pay before.

71
00:03:33,921 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: We got in.

72
00:03:34,841 --> 00:03:36,601
Speaker 1: I was like, what in schemers?

73
00:03:36,721 --> 00:03:39,561
Speaker 2: Yeap, he made us pay before we got in. And

74
00:03:39,601 --> 00:03:42,121
Speaker 2: then because it was a maxicab, he also took the

75
00:03:42,161 --> 00:03:45,681
Speaker 2: people behind us in the line because they were going

76
00:03:46,041 --> 00:03:48,801
Speaker 2: close to where the girls were going, so he took

77
00:03:48,881 --> 00:03:51,241
Speaker 2: all of them like two different peace.

78
00:03:51,281 --> 00:03:53,881
Speaker 1: He's broken every rule that possible. Yeah, do you know

79
00:03:53,921 --> 00:03:54,961
Speaker 1: how much do you charge them?

80
00:03:55,041 --> 00:04:00,561
Speaker 2: And just to give some context, nine kilometers from our house, right,

81
00:04:00,721 --> 00:04:05,801
Speaker 2: it was going nine k's. It took fifteen minute. It's

82
00:04:06,081 --> 00:04:08,681
Speaker 2: guess how much he charged them eighty five. He charged

83
00:04:08,681 --> 00:04:12,121
Speaker 2: them sixty nine dollars, and then he charged the other

84
00:04:12,241 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: group of people who were going to the same area fifty.

85
00:04:16,521 --> 00:04:20,801
Speaker 2: He got one hundred and twenty dollars for a nine

86
00:04:21,001 --> 00:04:21,961
Speaker 2: kilometer trip.

87
00:04:22,121 --> 00:04:24,801
Speaker 3: Yeah, off the grid too, straight in his pocket and

88
00:04:24,841 --> 00:04:26,201
Speaker 3: nothing through the taxi.

89
00:04:26,481 --> 00:04:27,001
Speaker 4: Yeah.

90
00:04:27,161 --> 00:04:30,361
Speaker 2: I was so angry, Like when she told me that

91
00:04:30,641 --> 00:04:33,281
Speaker 2: he had already taken the money. I then checked.

92
00:04:33,361 --> 00:04:35,081
Speaker 1: I have access to their accounts.

93
00:04:35,161 --> 00:04:37,841
Speaker 2: It's all on the same app with my own, and

94
00:04:37,921 --> 00:04:41,241
Speaker 2: I could see how much had come out of Holly's account,

95
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:44,361
Speaker 2: And I was like, you've got two sixteen year olds.

96
00:04:44,721 --> 00:04:45,321
Speaker 1: He doesn't care.

97
00:04:45,521 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: How about the fucking morals you charged that much money.

98
00:04:49,601 --> 00:04:52,801
Speaker 2: They've never got a taxi before age like they know ubers,

99
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,681
Speaker 2: like they're in an uber era. You've never gotten a taxi.

100
00:04:55,721 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: They didn't know not to pay up front. They just

101
00:04:58,001 --> 00:04:58,921
Speaker 2: did what he asked them to.

102
00:04:59,161 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he's praying on yeah, one hundred pers aren't.

103
00:05:02,641 --> 00:05:05,041
Speaker 2: Gonna say, well, I'll tell you what he wasn't praying

104
00:05:05,161 --> 00:05:07,281
Speaker 2: on the fact that I was going to storm out

105
00:05:07,281 --> 00:05:11,241
Speaker 2: of there after a few wines in my pajamas, and

106
00:05:10,801 --> 00:05:14,281
Speaker 2: I give him, yeah, did you peace my mind?

107
00:05:14,641 --> 00:05:14,801
Speaker 3: Yeah?

108
00:05:14,841 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: I did good. And we were the other people in

109
00:05:17,481 --> 00:05:17,841
Speaker 1: the car.

110
00:05:18,201 --> 00:05:20,601
Speaker 2: No, the other people had been dropped off first. The

111
00:05:20,641 --> 00:05:23,401
Speaker 2: girls ran inside because they knew because I had told.

112
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: Him on the phone.

113
00:05:23,761 --> 00:05:25,361
Speaker 2: I was like, put it on speaker phone. I want

114
00:05:25,361 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: to speak to the driver and they were like no, mom,

115
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,281
Speaker 2: and so I went, okay, Well when he gets there,

116
00:05:30,561 --> 00:05:32,281
Speaker 2: you go inside and I'm going to have a word

117
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:32,641
Speaker 2: with him.

118
00:05:32,961 --> 00:05:34,081
Speaker 1: Oh raight. I can't even.

119
00:05:33,921 --> 00:05:38,281
Speaker 2: Remember, oh my god, but I do remember him going

120
00:05:38,561 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: here you go and handed me over twenty dollars in cash,

121
00:05:42,081 --> 00:05:44,921
Speaker 2: and I was like, no, you've charged us sixty nine dollars.

122
00:05:45,081 --> 00:05:47,121
Speaker 2: I actually went onto the Uber app and had a

123
00:05:47,161 --> 00:05:48,921
Speaker 2: look at how much an uber was going to be,

124
00:05:49,281 --> 00:05:51,121
Speaker 2: and Uber would have been fourteen dollars.

125
00:05:51,361 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: Yep, I said, Uber would have been fourteen dollars.

126
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,681
Speaker 2: You've charged him sixty nine, and you got the other

127
00:05:57,281 --> 00:06:00,321
Speaker 2: money from them the other people. He gave me another

128
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: tried to give me another five. I went no, he

129
00:06:03,001 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: gave me another ten, and I went all right, whatever

130
00:06:06,081 --> 00:06:09,161
Speaker 2: I'm going in now, I've got thirty dollars off, so

131
00:06:09,241 --> 00:06:13,001
Speaker 2: it's now costs thirty nine dollars, which is still too much.

132
00:06:13,121 --> 00:06:14,961
Speaker 1: Still way too much better than sixty nine.

133
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also for him handing that back over, he

134
00:06:17,721 --> 00:06:18,801
Speaker 3: knows he's.

135
00:06:18,681 --> 00:06:19,401
Speaker 2: Done the wrong thing.

136
00:06:19,561 --> 00:06:22,361
Speaker 1: Yes, it's illegal. It is illegal.

137
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,481
Speaker 2: Somebody the next morning went to get a coffee and

138
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,721
Speaker 2: had the conversation and they were like.

139
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: That's illegal. Yeah, it's illegal.

140
00:06:28,801 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to do that. So I've also then

141
00:06:32,521 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: looked at where the money came from, worked out the

142
00:06:35,521 --> 00:06:39,761
Speaker 2: company of the taxi driver, and I submit an online complaint.

143
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: Good job.

144
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:43,001
Speaker 3: No, no, no it is because the thing is A

145
00:06:43,561 --> 00:06:47,321
Speaker 3: it's illegal. B is it's off the grid. There's no

146
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,801
Speaker 3: nothing like apart from your kids being in a cab.

147
00:06:50,121 --> 00:06:51,041
Speaker 1: They're not on a clock.

148
00:06:51,121 --> 00:06:53,001
Speaker 3: Because I said, so, you don't know where they are,

149
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,961
Speaker 3: I said traceat.

150
00:06:54,641 --> 00:06:56,161
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I can't give you a receipt.

151
00:06:56,241 --> 00:06:58,841
Speaker 3: Of course you won't. That's the part for me that

152
00:06:58,921 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: I go. Once you do that and you're off grid,

153
00:07:01,601 --> 00:07:04,361
Speaker 3: there's nothing, nothing to trace apart from the fact that

154
00:07:04,561 --> 00:07:08,481
Speaker 3: mum's gone out and had a few wines and she's

155
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:12,281
Speaker 3: firing and she's ready to actually brawl but at the

156
00:07:12,281 --> 00:07:14,681
Speaker 3: same time, good Day gave you some cash back, but

157
00:07:14,841 --> 00:07:16,001
Speaker 3: just ripped off the other people.

158
00:07:16,401 --> 00:07:17,761
Speaker 1: You know, Like at the.

159
00:07:17,801 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: End of the day, he's probably cashed in. It's still

160
00:07:20,001 --> 00:07:21,681
Speaker 3: made a lot more money than what he would have.

161
00:07:21,961 --> 00:07:25,641
Speaker 1: But it's just very wrong that trip.

162
00:07:25,801 --> 00:07:28,081
Speaker 3: But the part of it is that they just pray

163
00:07:28,121 --> 00:07:31,481
Speaker 3: on people that don't know, and it's foul. It's horrible,

164
00:07:31,641 --> 00:07:33,361
Speaker 3: and I guess you know, like the other part is

165
00:07:33,641 --> 00:07:35,681
Speaker 3: they pray on people that don't know, but also they

166
00:07:35,721 --> 00:07:40,121
Speaker 3: pray on situations where people are direstraate to just get home,

167
00:07:40,481 --> 00:07:41,201
Speaker 3: like the girls.

168
00:07:41,001 --> 00:07:43,881
Speaker 1: Are just freezing waited an hour it was at night. Yeah,

169
00:07:44,401 --> 00:07:45,641
Speaker 1: people will pay whatever they need.

170
00:07:45,881 --> 00:07:47,281
Speaker 2: I even said to him, I was like, no one

171
00:07:47,321 --> 00:07:50,241
Speaker 2: and nobody gets taxis anymore. You can't do that with a.

172
00:07:50,481 --> 00:07:54,361
Speaker 3: And it's unsafe, Tiler, It's very, very unsafe. I have

173
00:07:54,521 --> 00:07:57,921
Speaker 3: abused so many of them like that. I remember coming

174
00:07:57,921 --> 00:08:00,081
Speaker 3: out of the Melbourne Cup one day, I had new

175
00:08:00,081 --> 00:08:03,201
Speaker 3: shoes on, which is everyone knows, a rookie mistake, but.

176
00:08:03,201 --> 00:08:04,721
Speaker 1: It's what I needed for the outfit.

177
00:08:05,241 --> 00:08:07,761
Speaker 3: And we got out and we're walking and we're just

178
00:08:07,801 --> 00:08:11,041
Speaker 3: like tredging along and I was just like, I need

179
00:08:11,081 --> 00:08:11,841
Speaker 3: to get in a car.

180
00:08:12,361 --> 00:08:15,161
Speaker 1: Now, these cabs know exactly what they're doing.

181
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,801
Speaker 3: They're all pulling up and you're like, oh, mate, can

00:08:35,161 --> 00:08:38,681

190
00:08:38,961 --> 00:08:41,641
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happened to me after the races. But one

191
00:08:41,681 --> 00:08:43,801
