9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,119

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 4: you know, they send in a shoe, but it's just

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 4: one shoe, and they go, if you want the other one,

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 4: give me five minutes of your time.

15
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 4: of shoes.

16
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Some of the other crazy IDs job seekers have used

Speaker 2: it's totally blue sky. It's totally clear. Where's the rainbow?

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: And he goes, oh, oh, what's that up in the sky.

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,920

37
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: and everyone's trying to work and some guy comes in

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: and he's got a bat, he's got three trumpeters behind him,

39
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: are you not going to go again? Now?

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: Mate? It's just a job at Bunnings. You've got it.

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: What about magic? You know, if you turn up and

42
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: you do a little bit of pick a card, any card,

43
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: pick a card card? Do you know everyone likes a

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: bit of magic? Would that work?

45
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: That would work? I like that, I really like it.

46
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: This one is a bell today because I mean this

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: was a while ago now when Fred again was here.

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: But there was a guy that's just put up on

49
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: the internet that.

50
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: He secured four tickets to Fred Again in Sydney. And

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: we know how hard those tickets will get. I think

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: there was millions of people trying to It was wild.

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: I don't obtain those tickets.

54
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: So he got through right, and he decided, well, it's

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: only my best mate and I will go, but I'll

56
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: get the four tickets that I'm allowed to secure, right,

57
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: And he said, what I'll do, I'll offload those and

58
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: we'll basically go to Fred Again for free. The thing was, though,

59
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: he was scrolling through online and saw a potential employer

60
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: who was who he'd love to work at that company,

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: and he saw that the employer was looking for Fred

62
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Again tickets. He wrote, I have something he wants and

63
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: he has something that I want.

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: Scrap the profit, I want a job instead.

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: An Instagram DM conversation and a phone call later, the

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: tickets are emailed and the interview is secured. Now I

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: don't know if he got the job, he got a

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: job interview, but he said with those tickets, I got

69
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: my foot in the door and we both had a

70
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: great time at Fred Again. We had something to talk

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: about and it secured me a job in it.

72
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I would assume he did get the job.

73
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: That was part of the trade. But I liked the

74
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: idea too. Fits that How awkward it would be if

75
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: you've just got your new boss and then on the

76
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: weekend you're hanging out with him at fred again going

77
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 4: what was your name again? Spread good?

78
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: How good is this that the employer did say?

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: If they can get these in mind, if you can

80
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: get these tickets in my hands, imagine what this kid

81
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: could do for my business?

82
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: Wow?

83
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: Is this illegal? Like? Is a bribery at a job

84
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: interview illegal? Like if it was a real estate agent

85
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: you said, hey, get that house across the line for

86
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: this price and I'll give you fread again tickets, that's illegal.

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: But for a job interview, the eyes is clever. I

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,920
