1 00:00:02,420 --> 00:00:08,390 S1: A listener production to cuddly boys overloading the bromance quota meter. 2 00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:09,410 S2: They're so cute. 3 00:00:09,619 --> 00:00:12,440 S1: It's Matt and Alex. All day. Breakfast. 4 00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:16,489 S3: Well, yes. Alex Dyson is here. Had a weekend in 5 00:00:16,489 --> 00:00:19,610 S3: the sun at the beach in sunny Warrnambool. But I'm 6 00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:25,340 S3: hoping that out of the ashes of the cyclone. Alfred, 7 00:00:25,370 --> 00:00:27,110 S3: do we have a Matt Okine? 8 00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:31,220 S4: Oh, man. I gotta tell you, I. I was not 9 00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:34,010 S4: loving the weekend at all. I've got plenty, plenty to 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,620 S4: update you on, but I think for now, just to 11 00:00:36,650 --> 00:00:39,440 S4: begin the show with something a little bit lighter. Let's 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,470 S4: all give a big shout out to National Meatball Day. 13 00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,199 S3: Oh well, you'd think we're not talking about weather, but 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,390 S3: ever since the film cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 15 00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:50,449 S3: came out, that is very weather based. No shout outs 16 00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:54,980 S3: to anyone celebrating. I think National Meatball day in the States. Matt, 17 00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:58,100 S3: you are. You're a big fan of the meatball. 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,130 S4: I, I don't have enough, to be honest. They. I 19 00:01:03,130 --> 00:01:05,890 S4: tried to get Sophia onto it, but she doesn't like it. 20 00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:10,419 S4: But then if she has spaghetti with mints, she likes that. 21 00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:13,690 S4: And I'm like, kid, it's the same thing. It's just 22 00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:16,840 S4: one is just bunched up together, like, come on. 23 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:19,300 S3: Yeah, but you, you do know the same way that 24 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:23,950 S3: brown M&Ms taste worse than the other colors. Um, the 25 00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:27,280 S3: color and shape of things, Matt affects the flavor. That's 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,720 S3: why red cars go faster. It's the UN universal truths 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,710 S3: of our time. 28 00:01:32,740 --> 00:01:36,520 S4: Oh, well. Shout out to everyone enjoying our National Meatball Day. 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,120 S4: Let's dive into some recaps about the wild weather across 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,770 S4: the weekend. This is Matt and Alex all day breakfast. 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,700 S4: Hope you're having a good one. 32 00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:44,110 S5: Let's get this show on the road. 33 00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:46,150 S6: Let's go. Here we go. Here we go, here we go. 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,210 S7: Gotta tell you, I was glued to. 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,560 S3: The algorithm that was showing the sand washing away on 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,420 S3: the Gold Coast beach. Nice. And. Yeah, just feeling scared 37 00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:00,770 S3: for everyone I knew on the Gold Coast, including Annalise's 38 00:02:00,770 --> 00:02:03,080 S3: mum and brother living up there. We were getting updates. 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,440 S3: Matt Okine but you were living it in the. In 40 00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:10,280 S3: the heart of Brissy I guess. Saturday. Finally a good 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,310 S3: excuse not to go look at properties. Um, but tell 42 00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:16,160 S3: us how. How did you go? 43 00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:18,559 S4: Mate, I did feel sorry for anyone who was planning 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,690 S4: on buying or selling a house this weekend. I know 45 00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:23,360 S4: that there's much more things to, you know, bigger things 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,380 S4: to worry about. 47 00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:27,290 S3: But with the auctions cancelled on Saturday, everything seemed to 48 00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:28,910 S3: be shutting. What was going on? 49 00:02:28,910 --> 00:02:31,100 S4: I reckon you could have picked up a bargain if 50 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,150 S4: you did like it was. It was. Only the bravest. 51 00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,340 S4: Would have been putting their hand up for that, and 52 00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:38,630 S4: then you would have had to deal with the fact 53 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:40,520 S4: that there was a chance that the roof on the 54 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,130 S4: house that you just bought was gonna disappear. 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,519 S3: Yeah. Going, going, gone. When it comes to the roof 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,030 S3: of the property you're bidding on. Um, so how how 57 00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:52,340 S3: fast did the winds get? How much rain was falling 58 00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:55,520 S3: on you? How did the family go in these tricky circumstances, Matt? 59 00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:58,490 S4: Well, look, it's no secret that Cyclone Alfred was a 60 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,670 S4: bit of a one minute man on his first appearance. And, 61 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,290 S4: you know, it was a very quick little play with, with, 62 00:03:07,290 --> 00:03:09,690 S4: with Brisbane and then and then it was over and 63 00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,310 S4: everyone sort of thought, oh, is that it? Is that 64 00:03:11,310 --> 00:03:14,040 S4: all you got? But I tell you what, he went 65 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:20,550 S4: hard uh, on Sunday like it was pouring for like 66 00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:26,370 S4: 12 hours straight. There was water like pouring underneath our house, 67 00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:30,179 S4: pouring in from the neighbour's side. Our pool is absolutely 68 00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:33,540 S4: disgusting because there's this sort of piece of land that 69 00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,730 S4: they're building a house on a couple of doors up, 70 00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:39,270 S4: and it's just red dirt, and all of that dirt 71 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,270 S4: is now at the bottom of our pool there. Like 72 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:45,000 S4: I had the broom out. I was sweeping water away 73 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,150 S4: from the from underneath the house. It was it was 74 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:51,660 S4: so stressful, man. Like I because I tell you what, 75 00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:55,350 S4: I have lived, I have lived the last 17 years 76 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:57,860 S4: not owning a home and not owning the home that 77 00:03:57,860 --> 00:04:00,410 S4: I lived in. And so I've lived in a unit 78 00:04:00,410 --> 00:04:03,560 S4: these things have never like it's never affected me. 79 00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:05,030 S3: Body corporate. Sort that out. 80 00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:09,020 S4: Yeah, exactly. And now it's like I'm the body corporate. 81 00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:12,890 S4: It's so stressful. Like suddenly you're realizing how things can 82 00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:16,849 S4: just disappear in a second and and. Yeah, so I 83 00:04:16,850 --> 00:04:19,790 S4: didn't I didn't enjoy it one bit. We we disconnected 84 00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:22,520 S4: all the gas and everything, um, for the last couple 85 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:24,859 S4: of days. So we're only cooking on a barbecue, and 86 00:04:24,860 --> 00:04:28,430 S4: that's pretty pointless when there's 60ml of rain tumbling down 87 00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:31,700 S4: on you at all times. We've got pots of water 88 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,630 S4: on the stove just in case the water cuts out. 89 00:04:35,630 --> 00:04:39,200 S4: Belinda's mum in Ballina has been without power for two 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600 S4: days a day and a half, so we don't know 91 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,210 S4: whether everything in the fridge is going to go. It's 92 00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:48,980 S4: like it's it's the uncertainty. Alex Dyson that is the problem. 93 00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:52,670 S3: Goodness me. Yeah. So you you didn't lose power in 94 00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:54,380 S3: your suburb in in Brissy. 95 00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:57,109 S4: No, there's some people did and some people didn't. and 96 00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:58,789 S4: that's why we were kind of on edge. We had 97 00:04:58,790 --> 00:05:01,760 S4: all this food in the freezer. We're like delegating, okay? 98 00:05:01,790 --> 00:05:05,720 S4: If the power goes, we're starting with the homemade sausage rolls. 99 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,390 S4: They got frozen a few weeks ago. We're moving on 100 00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:11,000 S4: to the spag bol. The mince is going to be 101 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,789 S4: the last one to get turned into a burger. We 102 00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:15,349 S4: don't know what we're getting, so. 103 00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:19,190 S3: Flat and round is okay for mince but spherical like 104 00:05:19,190 --> 00:05:20,000 S3: a globe? 105 00:05:20,029 --> 00:05:20,900 S4: Yes. 106 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,550 S3: That's the Sophia. 107 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:25,339 S4: But um. But no. And also we you know, it 108 00:05:25,339 --> 00:05:28,370 S4: was Belinda's birthday on Friday, so we had this, um, 109 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,510 S4: dinner planned with, with a couple of friends in the Valley, 110 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:35,150 S4: which was this. I talked about it before on the podcast, 111 00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:38,930 S4: but it's like a six seater special little Japanese restaurant, 112 00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:39,980 S4: invite only. 113 00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:41,030 S3: Yeah, I remember you mentioning that. 114 00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:45,470 S4: We made the booking in October, but of course, Saturday 115 00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:49,489 S4: night rolls around and they're like, look, we we can 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,239 S4: be open if you want. And we were like, we 117 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:56,320 S4: are friends live in a flood zone. So they weren't 118 00:05:56,350 --> 00:05:59,650 S4: they weren't really amped at the idea of going into 119 00:05:59,650 --> 00:06:02,650 S4: dinner while their house could end up, you know, halfway 120 00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:05,529 S4: under water. Plus, our babysitter for the night had to 121 00:06:05,529 --> 00:06:09,460 S4: drive 40 minutes from the coast coastal area, so she 122 00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:13,150 S4: wasn't exactly jumping out of her boots to come and 123 00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:16,150 S4: look after Sophia while we're eating is, you know, ten 124 00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:18,700 S4: course meal. So we had to cancel it. But the 125 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:22,089 S4: good news is we have a new reservation. Belinda's birthday 126 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,719 S4: dinner will now be in August, so that's exciting. We. 127 00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:26,680 S4: We've gotten. 128 00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:27,310 S3: Well. 129 00:06:27,339 --> 00:06:29,710 S4: Just a little six month delay. That's fine. 130 00:06:29,710 --> 00:06:32,020 S3: Well, it sounds like I was somewhat similar to the 131 00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:34,690 S3: position I found myself in, where a lot of the 132 00:06:34,690 --> 00:06:37,719 S3: rumor mill was heating up last week that Prime Minister 133 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,040 S3: Anthony Albanese would call the Australian election this weekend to 134 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:45,190 S3: make it an April election with, you know, and it's 135 00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:48,430 S3: obviously good looking after the people of Queensland, our fellow Australians, 136 00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:50,830 S3: and concentrating on that and not distracting it with, you know, 137 00:06:50,860 --> 00:06:54,370 S3: this bloody popularity contest that comes around every three years, 138 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,340 S3: going to push that back a bit longer. That means 139 00:06:56,339 --> 00:07:00,090 S3: the campaign Meadow keen are rebooking once again the ten 140 00:07:00,089 --> 00:07:00,750 S3: course menu. 141 00:07:00,930 --> 00:07:03,630 S4: You've got to keep doing it. But do you know 142 00:07:03,630 --> 00:07:06,150 S4: what was so annoying to me? Like there's all this 143 00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:10,170 S4: discussion about how this cyclone was man made. Was there? 144 00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:11,130 S4: And that I think. 145 00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:11,880 S3: Like we. 146 00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:12,990 S4: We have you not. 147 00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:16,650 S3: Go along with different internet forums. Matt Okine when it comes. 148 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,580 S4: Have you not heard about this? People people are genuinely 149 00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:25,740 S4: on Facebook claiming that this cyclone was man made by 150 00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:29,280 S4: the US for some reason, right? But it also goes 151 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,550 S4: into cahoots with the idea that the Australian government is 152 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:36,420 S4: using it as a political tactic, and that they were 153 00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:41,970 S4: working in the pockets of, of Bom, the Bureau of Meteorology. Right. 154 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,480 S3: Oh, boy. 155 00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:45,990 S4: How I got to tell you, if you do get in, 156 00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:49,500 S4: you know, elected to the seat of Wannon. Can you 157 00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:52,980 S4: give us a few months of sunshine, please, if that's 158 00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:56,489 S4: the power that you've got as an elected politician in 159 00:07:56,490 --> 00:07:57,420 S4: this country? 160 00:07:57,450 --> 00:08:00,360 S3: Yeah. Getting the weather machine up and going. We could 161 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,670 S3: give the farmers a bit more rain down here if 162 00:08:02,670 --> 00:08:05,850 S3: I was doing that one. Goodness. Um. Look. 163 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,210 S4: So. 164 00:08:06,210 --> 00:08:09,450 S3: Yeah, it's it's a stressful time. People would be stressed 165 00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:11,460 S3: in many different ways. And I'm very glad that you 166 00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:14,160 S3: are safe and sound. And the family is safe and sound. 167 00:08:14,190 --> 00:08:18,750 S3: Matt Okine. A very difficult time for southern Queensland and 168 00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:20,850 S3: northern New South Wales people. 169 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,880 S4: Yes, yes, we are bone dry, safe and sound. But 170 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,160 S4: I want to hear what you got up to over 171 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,260 S4: the weekend. So let's dive into it. Hey. 172 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,339 S8: La la la la la la la la la la 173 00:08:32,340 --> 00:08:33,960 S8: la la la.

It's fizzing up, so 348 00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:23,100 S12: it's it's good. I think I've had a bit of 349 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,110 S12: a taste. I think it's I think it's good for 350 00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:25,920 S12: a first batch. 351 00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:29,250 S3: And what flavours are you chucking in with the Scoby 352 00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:30,060 S3: in the jar? 353 00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:33,060 S12: Got a bit of a tropical one to start with. 354 00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:37,560 S12: I bought a premade flavour kit so that's all. All good. 355 00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:40,470 S12: So yeah, it's kind of a a tropical vibe. 356 00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:44,190 S4: Well, I look forward to you. You know, launching your 357 00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:48,330 S4: own wellness channel on Instagram. I'm very, very excited. 358 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,330 S3: Keep it eye out. Well, alongside that, James, you have 359 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,970 S3: been trying to find the worst clickbait article in the 360 00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:56,280 S3: week that we dare not click on, but actually kind 361 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:58,620 S3: of attempted to. What did you uncover? 362 00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:02,610 S12: Yeah. So this one for this week is man who 363 00:17:02,610 --> 00:17:06,750 S12: broke the record for time spent in world's quietest room, 364 00:17:06,750 --> 00:17:11,220 S12: reported experiencing several horrifying side effects. 365 00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:15,570 S3: I've heard about these quiet rooms, and it does sound 366 00:17:15,570 --> 00:17:19,050 S3: a bit scary because it's so quiet in there. Like, 367 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,730 S3: you make a noise and you can't hear it because 368 00:17:20,730 --> 00:17:23,399 S3: it just goes like the walls dead in it so quick. 369 00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:26,790 S3: You've just got the sound of like, your blood going 370 00:17:26,790 --> 00:17:30,540 S3: through your head or something. It can send you insane. 371 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,380 S3: First of all. 372 00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:32,790 S4: I guess pounding. 373 00:17:32,790 --> 00:17:35,250 S3: Before we guess what the side effects are. Can you 374 00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:38,459 S3: tell us how long he lasted to get that world record? James? 375 00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:43,200 S12: Yes. So this guy is Callum McGinley. He's a YouTuber, 376 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,850 S12: and the record he set was one hour and 26 377 00:17:47,850 --> 00:17:51,740 S12: minutes in the anechoic chamber. The previous record was set 378 00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:54,530 S12: in 2019 and that was 67 minutes. So you did 379 00:17:54,530 --> 00:17:55,340 S12: a pretty good job. 380 00:17:55,369 --> 00:17:57,710 S4: See, this is one of those things that doesn't sound 381 00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:00,530 S4: like it would be hard. Like, I truly feel like 382 00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:02,659 S4: I could do it. Yeah, but. 383 00:18:02,690 --> 00:18:06,139 S3: I've sat through terrible movies that have gone for 90 384 00:18:06,140 --> 00:18:08,030 S3: minutes and thought, I need to get out of this 385 00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:11,480 S3: so I at least could go 90 minutes. You'd hope. 386 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,850 S4: What's his, what's his name and age again? What's his age? 387 00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:16,220 S12: Uh, I think he's in his 30s. 388 00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:19,430 S4: Okay. 30 year old guy, uh, spends a long time 389 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:21,650 S4: in a silent room. I'm gonna guess the terrifying symptom 390 00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:23,810 S4: was he left and decided he didn't want to start 391 00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:29,510 S4: a podcast. That that was his the side effect. He 392 00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:32,090 S4: was like, silence is actually okay. I don't need to 393 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,260 S4: share my opinion. 394 00:18:33,290 --> 00:18:36,260 S3: Um, I, I reckon I reckon I'd actually be able 395 00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:38,359 S3: to beat this dude because I've had a lot of training, 396 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:42,290 S3: like the amount of medical comedy shows I've sat through. 397 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,379 S3: Absolutely dead silence in the room. 398 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:52,900 S4: Just the blood pulsing through your veins. It was horrifying. 399 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,070 S3: That's all you could hear? Uh, no. Oh, is it like. 400 00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:00,670 S3: Is it painful to hear after, like, your ears adjusting 401 00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:02,590 S3: to that sort of thing afterwards? 402 00:19:02,619 --> 00:19:04,750 S4: Or does it, like, affect his sense of taste or 403 00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:06,700 S4: something weird like that? I don't know. What's the horror? 404 00:19:06,730 --> 00:19:08,350 S4: What's the horrifying side effect? 405 00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,390 S12: So he had a few things that happened to him. 406 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:12,910 S12: You're kind of on the money. He had a burst 407 00:19:12,910 --> 00:19:18,550 S12: of extreme tinnitus in both ears, followed quickly by pressure 408 00:19:18,550 --> 00:19:22,119 S12: in his head, and had visions of lights flickering around 409 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,050 S12: the room. But again, the other big thing he touched on, 410 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,910 S12: which I think you're you're right about, is that he 411 00:19:27,910 --> 00:19:31,450 S12: said he could hear his own blood running through his body, 412 00:19:31,450 --> 00:19:34,240 S12: but at first he actually thought it was the sound 413 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,629 S12: of the London Underground because he was in a chamber in, 414 00:19:37,630 --> 00:19:41,350 S12: in London. Um, but it was actually the blood rushing 415 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:42,340 S12: through his head. 416 00:19:42,609 --> 00:19:43,900 S3: Oh, boy. 417 00:19:43,930 --> 00:19:46,060 S4: I mean, all the other symptoms, they're they're similar to 418 00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:48,189 S4: what it's like being me at one of my gigs 419 00:19:48,190 --> 00:19:53,379 S4: as well. Just blinded by the lights. Sudden, like pressure 420 00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:56,590 S4: in the head, like, oh my God, what am I doing? 421 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,640 S1: Ah. 422 00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:01,930 S4: Um. So yeah. No, we can relate. Um. All right. Well, 423 00:20:01,930 --> 00:20:06,190 S4: thank you very much, James. Hopefully he can. The gentleman who, 424 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,990 S4: you know, broke that record could, uh, you know, leave 425 00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:13,030 S4: the chamber and do the first thing he wanted to 426 00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:15,070 S4: do with being able to hear again, which was listening 427 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:16,990 S4: to him. Episode of Matt and Alex all day. Breakfast. 428 00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:19,750 S3: Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what happened. So thank you 429 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:22,780 S3: to you, Callum, for listening. And thank you to you, 430 00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:25,629 S3: not Callum for listening. I really appreciate you tuning in 431 00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:27,160 S3: for another edition of Matt and Alex All Day Breakfast. 432 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:30,879 S3: We've got another big app for you tomorrow, so sit 433 00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:32,320 S3: tight and we'll see you then. 434 00:20:32,410 --> 00:20:33,220 S4: Bye bye. 435 00:20:33,250 --> 00:20:36,160 S1: That's it.
