Speaker 1: a speed dating event.

21
00:01:19,765 --> 00:01:22,485
Speaker 3: Now I started that speed danger was a thing.

22
00:01:23,045 --> 00:01:25,445
Speaker 1: I intended a speed dating event having to meet an

23
00:01:25,445 --> 00:01:28,365
Speaker 1: age appropriate woman who might be interested.

24
00:01:27,925 --> 00:01:32,045
Speaker 3: In her little room. You didn't need to say all that.

25
00:01:32,085 --> 00:01:32,885
Speaker 3: I just presumed it.

26
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:35,565
Speaker 1: But so that's a clarifying I'd not one people listening

27
00:01:35,605 --> 00:01:38,205
Speaker 1: to him and go, wait, if he's fifty, is he

28
00:01:38,245 --> 00:01:42,685
Speaker 1: with a fifty or a forty eight year old? On arrival,

29
00:01:42,725 --> 00:01:45,125
Speaker 1: I spotted a familiar face. It was the ex wife

30
00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:46,925
Speaker 1: of a former boss where I worked untill a few

31
00:01:46,965 --> 00:01:51,205
Speaker 1: years ago. Thankfully we were not matched up. Then it

32
00:01:51,325 --> 00:01:54,685
Speaker 1: was paired up with another woman attending. She turned out

33
00:01:54,685 --> 00:01:56,045
Speaker 1: to be the cousin of a guy I worked with

34
00:01:56,085 --> 00:01:58,365
Speaker 1: a few years earlier. As we've seen each other a

35
00:01:58,365 --> 00:02:01,405
Speaker 1: couple of times since Christian, What are the odds of

36
00:02:01,445 --> 00:02:05,005
Speaker 1: meeting two different women who are related to two former

37
00:02:05,045 --> 00:02:06,805
Speaker 1: bosses on the same night.

38
00:02:07,165 --> 00:02:09,845
Speaker 3: You're right, Johnny boy your eyes.

39
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:13,725
Speaker 1: Now participating him has got a story for what are

40
00:02:13,764 --> 00:02:14,165
Speaker 1: the odds?

41
00:02:14,365 --> 00:02:15,085
Speaker 3: Is it a good one?

42
00:02:15,165 --> 00:02:19,925
Speaker 4: It's a caracker yesterday Oh wow, I'm sitting at my.

00:02:27,565 --> 00:02:29,725
Speaker 4: To me so she can attest that this is fantastic.

46
00:02:30,045 --> 00:02:32,525
Speaker 4: I was sitting there on my phone and I'm on

47
00:02:32,605 --> 00:02:35,925
Speaker 4: Instagram and my best friend Taylor was first on my story.

48
00:02:35,965 --> 00:02:38,565
Speaker 4: So I watched it and I was like that's really funny.

49
00:02:38,565 --> 00:02:40,405
Speaker 4: It was just a little quote and it just said,

50
00:02:40,685 --> 00:02:43,044
Speaker 4: let's call it a week. Guys, we did our best.

51
00:02:43,125 --> 00:02:44,805
Speaker 4: And I had a little laugh. I showed Tina it

52
00:02:44,845 --> 00:02:48,285
Speaker 4: was really funny. I go on to the next story.

53
00:02:48,605 --> 00:02:50,605
Speaker 1: And this is youring work. You say, let's see youre

54
00:02:50,605 --> 00:02:54,125
Speaker 1: working hard on the show. Not one Instagram story. And

55
00:02:54,205 --> 00:02:56,085
Speaker 1: the second one, as I said, it.

56
00:02:56,045 --> 00:02:57,725
Speaker 4: Was towards the end of the day. It was just

57
00:02:57,765 --> 00:02:58,325
Speaker 4: a little I.

58
00:02:58,285 --> 00:02:59,965
Speaker 1: Don't care if it's at the start of the day,

59
00:03:00,045 --> 00:03:01,484
Speaker 1: end of the day. Should be no tones in the

60
00:03:01,525 --> 00:03:02,805
Speaker 1: day going on your instant stories.

61
00:03:02,845 --> 00:03:04,685

62
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:05,485
Speaker 4: next story.

63
00:03:05,525 --> 00:03:07,765
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still looking for it. Where is it? It's

64
00:03:07,845 --> 00:03:08,685
Speaker 1: threadbare at them.

65
00:03:09,445 --> 00:03:11,605
Speaker 4: So the first one was my best friend Taylor. The

66
00:03:11,645 --> 00:03:14,965

00:03:19,725 --> 00:03:21,925
Speaker 4: same name, exact same name.

69
00:03:22,365 --> 00:03:23,365
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

70
00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:27,165
Speaker 5: I mean, the quote sharing isn't that good.

71
00:03:27,205 --> 00:03:30,125
Speaker 3: But the fact that they're both the same name Taylor.

72
00:03:29,965 --> 00:03:33,845
Speaker 4: Yeah, joth Taylor, same quote, exact same day. The first

118
00:05:51,565 --> 00:05:54,485
Speaker 2: and it turns out he is. They use the tumor

119
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:58,005

120
00:05:58,005 --> 00:05:59,725

00:06:07,364 --> 00:06:08,964
Speaker 2: I put after I gave the glass.

125
00:06:09,364 --> 00:06:11,445
Speaker 3: But you kind of also saved his life.

126
00:06:11,964 --> 00:06:12,844

00:07:43,885 --> 00:07:45,805
Speaker 2: The barber says, my name is Paul, and.

161
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:47,525
Speaker 5: The other guy says, oh, my name is Paul. So

162
00:07:47,765 --> 00:07:48,764
Speaker 5: I'm not one of the odds.

163
00:07:48,765 --> 00:07:51,444
Speaker 1: So I took a photograph four pools and there was

164
00:07:51,445 --> 00:07:55,005
Speaker 1: only four people in the barbers Paul. So there were

165
00:07:55,045 --> 00:07:58,485
Speaker 1: four pools in that story. Now by my counting, was

166
00:07:58,525 --> 00:07:59,925
Speaker 1: it five peters?

167
00:08:00,525 --> 00:08:02,085
Speaker 3: Four peters?

168
00:08:02,125 --> 00:08:04,124
Speaker 1: One day we need to see we can get what

169
00:08:04,205 --> 00:08:07,045
Speaker 1: are the odds involved? The same name but over four

170
00:08:07,885 --> 00:08:10,885
Speaker 1: simons us. Now, good morning someone and welcome to the show.

Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Siman, thanks for listening. Now, Simone,

173
00:08:16,445 --> 00:08:17,285
Speaker 1: what are the odds?

174
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:19,085
Speaker 5: What are the odds?

175
00:08:19,125 --> 00:08:22,525
Speaker 6: Okay, so footy tickets for AFL upcoming AFL matches went

176
00:08:22,525 --> 00:08:26,525
Speaker 6: on sale yesterday afternoon. My husband and I divide and

177
00:08:26,565 --> 00:08:29,845
Speaker 6: conquer the games that we need tickets for. So we're

178
00:08:29,885 --> 00:08:32,925
Speaker 6: in the virtual Q credit cards at the ready. Two

179
00:08:32,925 --> 00:08:37,445
Speaker 6: o'clock rolls around. Bang, we're in. We both get tickets

180
00:08:37,485 --> 00:08:39,445
Speaker 6: to the games that we need, and then we share

181
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:42,364
Speaker 6: the tickets with each other via the app. And it's

182
00:08:42,405 --> 00:08:47,005
Speaker 6: at that point we realize we've been randomly allocated the

183
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:52,645
Speaker 6: exact same seats for two different matches. Oh wow, two

184
00:08:52,684 --> 00:08:55,485
Speaker 6: tickets at the MS to two different games at the MCG,

185
00:08:56,165 --> 00:08:59,684
Speaker 6: in the same bay, the same row, and the same

186
00:08:59,765 --> 00:09:00,484
Speaker 6: two seats.

187
00:09:00,684 --> 00:09:03,405
Speaker 3: I mean, what over one hundred thousand seats at the MCG.

188
00:09:04,045 --> 00:09:04,484
Speaker 6: That's it.

189
00:09:04,725 --> 00:09:07,645
Speaker 3: Yep, this is huge. And also it's our first ever

190
00:09:07,765 --> 00:09:12,125
Speaker 3: sporting the odds. I believe. That's incredible.

191
00:09:12,684 --> 00:09:14,525
