Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 6: Thank you?
Speaker 3: All right, Mary, what's your story?
Speaker 5: So my story is thirty eight years ago tomorrow I
Speaker 5: married my husband, whose name is Peter.
Speaker 6: I also have a brother named Peter. He has a
Speaker 6: brother in law named Peter, and.
Speaker 3: His best man was Peter.
Speaker 6: So when I walked up the aisle, there was Peter, Peter, Peter, Peter.
Speaker 3: It's water or Pete.
Speaker 5: That was it.
Speaker 2: And when they said Peter, do you take Mary as
Speaker 2: for your wife?
Speaker 5: They all said I do.
Speaker 3: I love this story. It's britt Mary. That's a great one.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for sharing.
Speaker 5: Thanks guys, all right, I have a great one.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Now do you remember I think it's last year similar
Speaker 1: to that. That one was like a load of Peters.
Speaker 1: Don't remember the Paul Paul Paul? Oh this cool? Yes,
Speaker 1: the pools at the barbers barbers.
Speaker 5: A few weeks ago to me, he goes, oh, what's
Speaker 5: your name? And I said, oh, it's Paul.
Speaker 1: And there was four other people in there, and the
Speaker 1: guy next to me goes, oh, my name's Paul.
Speaker 2: The barber says, my name is Paul, and.
Speaker 5: The other guy says, oh, my name is Paul. So
Speaker 5: I'm not one of the odds.
Speaker 1: So I took a photograph four pools and there was
Speaker 1: only four people in the barbers Paul. So there were
Speaker 1: four pools in that story. Now by my counting, was
Speaker 1: it five peters?
Speaker 3: Four peters?
Speaker 1: One day we need to see we can get what
Speaker 1: are the odds involved? The same name but over four
Speaker 1: simons us. Now, good morning someone and welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Christian love the show.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Siman, thanks for listening. Now, Simone,
Speaker 1: what are the odds?
Speaker 5: What are the odds?
Speaker 6: Okay, so footy tickets for AFL upcoming AFL matches went
Speaker 6: on sale yesterday afternoon. My husband and I divide and
Speaker 6: conquer the games that we need tickets for. So we're
Speaker 6: in the virtual Q credit cards at the ready. Two
Speaker 6: o'clock rolls around. Bang, we're in. We both get tickets
Speaker 6: to the games that we need, and then we share
Speaker 6: the tickets with each other via the app. And it's
Speaker 6: at that point we realize we've been randomly allocated the
Speaker 6: exact same seats for two different matches. Oh wow, two
Speaker 6: tickets at the MS to two different games at the MCG,
Speaker 6: in the same bay, the same row, and the same
Speaker 6: two seats.
Speaker 3: I mean, what over one hundred thousand seats at the MCG.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 3: Yep, this is huge. And also it's our first ever
Speaker 3: sporting the odds. I believe. That's incredible.
Speaker 6: That's that's a takeaway from me for today.
