Everyone, 11 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: because while you're while you're listening to this, maps overseas 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: and I might be overseas by this point, I don't know, 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: but we've had to get ahead again. So when we 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: get ahead, we come in and we do like four 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: episodes at a time. And because we're here in the 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: Nova Studios, this is also a radio station, so we 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: only get a certain amount of time in here, and 18 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: when we've got four to do, we have to go 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: a little bit quicker.

It's because we're pre recording. 23 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, So I just. 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 1: Wanted to let everyone know that if they do get shorter, 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: it's because we're on a time limit. We have to 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: get out because the afternoon radio people have to come in. 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: And also just quietly, we fucking hate it. 28 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we want to make it longer, but sometimes 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: we can't.

They gave her a fresh 362 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: change of clothes, They called her mom or her parents, 363 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: they came and got her, and then she ended up 364 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: getting an apology from the teacher and the principal and 365 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: stuff because they realized. 366 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: What had gone on. 367 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: So that is redemption had has got the rest of. 368 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 4: The email wouldn't load for me. 369 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 5: It up here, she said, Yeah, she went to the bathroom, 370 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 5: got spare clothes, all that stuff her parents collected her. 371 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 5: I didn't go back to school for two two weeks. 372 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 5: My parents blew up at the school and I received 373 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 5: an apology call from my classroom teacher. Safe to say, 374 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 5: I never got told I couldn't go to the toilet again, 375 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: but the damage was already done at this point. But yeah, 376 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 5: so crazy, Thanks for bringing up that memory. 377 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: Sorry you had to live that. 378 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's horrible. Well you got redemption in the end, 379 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: but it's still bad that you had to live through 380 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: that experience. 381 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 3: And I still stand by my statement, who gives a 382 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: shit if well, yes she did give a shit in 383 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 3: the end. But if you're a teacher, why can't kids 384 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: just go to the toilet? 385 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Because I understand that they would get asked one hundred 386 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: times every class and that would piss me the fuck off, 387 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: Like I'd be like, couldn't you have just gone in 388 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: recess that you just had? But also people just like 389 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: sometimes when you need to go, you just need to go. 390 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, especially if you're going to shit yourself. 391 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: But also at recess. I didn't need to go. Yeah, 392 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: but also it is okay in a teacher's defense. Something 393 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 3: that I always think about is flights. When you sit 394 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 3: down on a flight and as soon as the seat 395 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 3: belt signed it is off bomb six people are up 396 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 3: and crowded the toilet ready to go. 397 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 2: To the toilet. 398 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: I'm like, we did, we really need to go, So 399 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 3: in that respect, I mean, I'd never obviously refuse someone 400 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: to go to the toilet.
