<v Speaker 1>Talkbag Tings is where I bring you bits of gold

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that we find on talkback radio. It's a world of

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>its own that our listeners are really missing out on

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>some good stuff.

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, and we've found some gems. I mean we

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>even we opened up a can of worms. The Lady

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Gaga conspiracy. Did she call the thro hotline?

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 3>That's right, that was the most recent one.

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I figured out that if you search talkback Tings on

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the podcast app, which just brings up all the ones

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>we've done, so it's easy to find them. So we've

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.159
<v Speaker 1>played John Laws a few times on Talkback Tings and

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I've really only ever showed you what a cranky bars

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that it can be.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of yelling, a lot of frustration.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Also, I just love his insults because you know how,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think he's so eloquent, Like a weird part

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>of me just really wants to be insulted by John

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Laws because he's so good at them.

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Kay for kill.

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, this week, I'm showing you a different side to

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>John Laws. In fact, my sister messaged me the other

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>day she was back at mum and Dad's place driving

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the tractor. Oh, she's listening to the radio and she goes,

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm in tears when she heard this piece of AUDEO.

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Then I'm going to play later made her cry. And

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>when I eventually track down the audio I got, I

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>I I did cry.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.199
<v Speaker 5>I did.

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:09.880

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>introduce you to one of John's regular callers, Dale. Now,

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Dale is in his sixties and he's living with an

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>intellectual disability, and he's been calling through to John every

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>week for over twenty five years.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>That's how old I am my whole life.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 3>It's older than me.

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>But everyone loves Dale, right, Like all of John's listeners.

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>They're familiar with him, and he just completely uplifts the

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>mood of the show.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.199
<v Speaker 2>And that happens with radio shows. I've got usual callers

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that call my show every night, and I love to.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Hear him the same deal, and everyone starts becoming familiar

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>with him. He's like a piece of furniture yeah on

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the show. And he and John have formed this really

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>beautiful friendship. You can tell that John really really cares

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for Dale after all these years.

<v Speaker 3>got some more.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>It's funny that you've you've connected with him so instantly,

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>because I can't even remember when I first heard Dale,

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>but I remember it was always a case of my

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>dad being like everyone.

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Shdale's on and would be like, oh, Dale's back, kids.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>He has been calling in every Friday, usually around eleven,

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and his life story has pretty much unfolded on the

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>John Laws Show. So he used to live with his mum.

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe she was his full time care for a

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>long time. So he was always telling stories about his

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>mum and John was always you know, how's mum, Dale,

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and oh good John, and then one week it was oh,

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mum's sick, John, And then you know, after

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>some time went on and Dale called through with the

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate news that his mum had passed away. So I

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.120

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I love I love seeing that side of John because

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>we are used to the ruthless, you know.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like we'll have very little patience recallers. Yeah, he

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 3>and Dale have had this really beautiful relationship over the years.

0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.720

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:54.439
<v Speaker 2>his wife.

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I that's what I mean. I think

<v Speaker 3>you know, grief.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.320

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, sorry to end up a bit of a down Yeah,

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 3>thanks a lot.

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Miture Jesus Christ. Next week we'll be back ridiculing people though.

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's fine, back to what we do best.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 3>And I know I was going to do this next week,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 3>but I thought, like our last show, it's meant to

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 3>be a bit of fun.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we could be silly in the last show.

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just good to get it out of the system.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>But I know that, you know, Christmas can be a

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>tricky time for some people because it reminds them of

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>people that aren't there anymore.

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, you know it can. But John had a

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>great point. You know, you just remember them they are

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.679
