1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: This podcast, I want to talk about generous bosses and

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: how generous was your boss?

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: Loves to meet one.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 3: It is great, isn't it when they shout you a

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 3: lunch even, you know, the bonus at the end of

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 3: the year, Kate, I just love a dick chair.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Well great.

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Brendan our boss, he man, does he get any more?

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: His standard line when he walks into our office is

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: what can I buy you today? We call him credit

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: card Brendan. We just milk it.

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: And I'm not but no, I'm not talking about the

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: odd kind of lunch or congratulations. I don't think you

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: even people. You can't buy a bottle of champagne for

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: people anymore. I mean, like quite you know, large sums.

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it is the bonus at the end of the year.

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Because it turns out that John Laws radio legend, who

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: passed at the end of last year in early November,

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: turns out he was a pretty good and a pretty

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: generous boss as well. But he has left or there

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: have been some documents that have been obtained by somebody,

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: and it turns out that he has actually left his

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: longtime personal assistant a huge amount of moneynreds hundreds of

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars story to wipe the debt clear for

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: an apartment that she bought over twenty years ago. So

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: they started this is Her name is mis Borgo. I'm

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: guessing that's how I pronounce it, and it describes her

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: as Laws's queen handmaiden, so chief organizer, gatekeeper, protective, well

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: for thirty years until John passed away.

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: This is my maiden.

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: They started working in nineteen ninety five. When he went

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: into retirement, she continued to work with him, and then

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: of course when John Laws's wife, they were married for

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: years and years. When she passed then I suppose she

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: stepped up and helped even more.

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: So, I mean what in retirement, because remember the story

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: that we spoke about is that he ate at the

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: same restaurant lunch and dinner for around about was it

39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: fifteen odd years?

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Could have been more than that.

41
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Well, because I think if you're talking about that the

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: same restaurant, you'd go there in Sydney. That table was

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: either either had him at it or it was empty

44
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: waiting for him to arrive.

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: But it was her job as the maiden. Was it

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 3: her job every day to ring up and a John

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: will be in again.

48
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he had to book.

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: I quite like to be the seat warmer. Though for

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: someone like that, is it wrong to suggest?

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: I mean, when I hit the term maiden, I would

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: suggest she was more than a pa.

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: No handmaiden meaning like kind of right hand or you know,

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the definition.

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: Is not a maiden in the sense of.

56
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Like like a nodding not nodding hill Well, lady, Robin

57
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: hood maiden. It's not what I mean.

58
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: The water and then I'll meet you in the quarters.

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 3: No, those days are over.

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: I didn't realize. You never know what goes on.

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Muddy the Waters a beautiful story, but there are.

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Some cultures where a maiden would be perfectly normal to

63
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: have possibly one two, if not three. I mean, if

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: you're from Utah, as many wives as you want.

65
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: In that story, there was only one mention of made

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the word maiden, and that's all we've spoken about.

67
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Now we move on. Okay, great news. There might be

68
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
