The chances 40 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: of that being possible are what, Tim. 41 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 5: No, I reckon you could do it, absolutely, jump on 42 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 5: the motorway, gilly. 43 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Okay, So our problem, I reckon you can't do it. 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 4: Zero roadworks, roadworks, You'll town will be the hold up? 45 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 5: Oh was that I was in town last week.

Sam's going to 49 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: the airport. He's leaving here at nine. He must be 50 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: there because he's on Jetstar. And Jetstar have a thing 51 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: whereby they close the bag chicken an hour before the flight. 52 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: Yeah early, what's that about? 53 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: That's rough? 54 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: It is rough, And I would have argued, needless, what's 55 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the what happens there? And what's the Jetstar policy on 56 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: closing bags before an hour before the flight? 57 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 3: I know? Does it? 58 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: Does it? 59 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: Does that? Why they're cheaper? I've got I've got no idea. 60 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 5: They don't have to have so many people counting bags pilots. 61 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: Is that the pilot does the bags, so he closes 62 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: the bag chicken, he needs to run back to the 63 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: plane to fire up the engine. He needs to close 64 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: an hour. Really, I got it. So you say no chance, and. 65 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 5: It's like you're doing It's like you're doing the vacuuming 66 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 5: in the studio. They don't need to have clean us 67 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 5: there because you always do the vacuuating. 68 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: So this is triggering. Why would you trigger me that way? 69 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: On the ahead of a long weekend. Why would you? 70 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: As I was literally this morning, just before or four 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: o'clock thing I had to do just before four o'clock, 72 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: as I was vacuuming this dump yet again, wiping the 73 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: thing down with more spray and white spraying the glean 74 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: twenty yet again, and I was in a good mood, 75 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: and I was saying to myself.

Kate? Were we going 80 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: down any familiar roads here? Yeah? 81 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: He doesn't like it. He doesn't like him. 82 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: How hard is it to get some voice to get 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: Can you do that voice again? 84 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: Kato? 85 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not. 86 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: Right. 87 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: After the break, I need to ask another question. Sammy's 88 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: heading to a wedding, right yep? Well not according to 89 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: the UK, because your going to get past their check in. 90 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: But let's assume he gets to the chicken hops on 91 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: the plane and he gets to his wedding. The za 92 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: trenden weddings I knew nothing about. Did you realize what's 93 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: the to the break? Tim what's the most common gift 94 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: at weddings when you go to a wedding these days? 95 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: Go, oh, I don't know do to pay for the wedding? 96 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: Cadie, Oh gosh, I have no idea. 97 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: Twenty seven minutes from Commercial Bay to airport yesterday to 98 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: forty Mike nine am departure thirty minutes.

Our maps currently sees 100 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Mike thirty four minutes, so that's encouraging. What Sammy didn't 101 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: tell us was he parks in one of those weird 102 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: satellite car parks where he's going to walk seven minutes, 103 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: then catch a cab and a bus to get to 104 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: the airport. So he drives to the airport, parks in 105 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: the satellite park, gets a cab, gets a bus to 106 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: the airport, so it could be touch and go. Now, 107 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: Tim correct, money, Yes, money, No, why I would never 108 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: have given it, That's what I said.

I could, I could partially. 113 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: You're getting married at twenty one. First of all, shouldn't 114 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: get married at twenty one, so you've got nothing, and 115 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: you go, we need fry pans and toasters and glasses 116 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: and stuff like that.
