<v Speaker 1>Are be on the road delivering nuclear medicines to various

0:01:13.485 --> 0:01:17.485
<v Speaker 1>hospitals around the city. A few weeks ago, I attended

0:01:17.485 --> 0:01:18.845
<v Speaker 1>a speed dating event.

0:01:19.765 --> 0:01:22.485
<v Speaker 3>Now I started that speed danger was a thing.

0:01:23.045 --> 0:01:25.445
<v Speaker 1>I intended a speed dating event having to meet an

0:01:25.445 --> 0:01:28.365
<v Speaker 1>age appropriate woman who might be interested.

0:01:27.925 --> 0:01:32.045
<v Speaker 3>In her little room. You didn't need to say all that.

0:01:32.085 --> 0:01:32.885
<v Speaker 3>I just presumed it.

0:01:32.925 --> 0:01:35.565
<v Speaker 1>But so that's a clarifying I'd not one people listening

0:01:35.605 --> 0:01:38.205
<v Speaker 1>to him and go, wait, if he's fifty, is he

0:01:38.245 --> 0:01:42.685
<v Speaker 1>with a fifty or a forty eight year old? On arrival,

0:01:42.725 --> 0:01:45.125
<v Speaker 1>I spotted a familiar face. It was the ex wife

0:01:45.125 --> 0:01:46.925
<v Speaker 1>of a former boss where I worked untill a few

0:01:46.965 --> 0:01:51.205
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Thankfully we were not matched up. Then it

0:01:51.325 --> 0:01:54.685
<v Speaker 1>was paired up with another woman attending. She turned out

0:01:54.685 --> 0:01:56.045
<v Speaker 1>to be the cousin of a guy I worked with

0:01:56.085 --> 0:01:58.365
<v Speaker 1>a few years earlier. As we've seen each other a

0:01:58.365 --> 0:02:01.405
<v Speaker 1>couple of times since Christian, What are the odds of

0:02:01.445 --> 0:02:05.005
<v Speaker 1>meeting two different women who are related to two former

0:02:05.045 --> 0:02:06.805
<v Speaker 1>bosses on the same night.

0:02:07.165 --> 0:02:09.845
<v Speaker 3>You're right, Johnny boy your eyes.

0:02:10.125 --> 0:02:13.725
<v Speaker 1>Now participating him has got a story for what are

0:02:13.764 --> 0:02:14.165
<v Speaker 1>the odds?

0:02:14.365 --> 0:02:15.085
<v Speaker 3>Is it a good one?

0:02:15.165 --> 0:02:19.925
<v Speaker 4>It's a caracker yesterday Oh wow, I'm sitting at my.

0:02:20.045 --> 0:02:23.885
<v Speaker 1>Desk, had an echo. Then then it's chuckle. Sister's Tina, producer.

<v Speaker 4>To me so she can attest that this is fantastic.

0:02:30.045 --> 0:02:32.525
<v Speaker 4>I was sitting there on my phone and I'm on

0:02:32.605 --> 0:02:35.925
<v Speaker 4>Instagram and my best friend Taylor was first on my story.

0:02:35.965 --> 0:02:38.565
<v Speaker 4>So I watched it and I was like that's really funny.

0:02:38.565 --> 0:02:40.405
<v Speaker 4>It was just a little quote and it just said,

0:02:40.685 --> 0:02:43.044
<v Speaker 4>let's call it a week. Guys, we did our best.

0:02:43.125 --> 0:02:44.805
<v Speaker 4>And I had a little laugh. I showed Tina it

0:02:44.845 --> 0:02:48.285
<v Speaker 4>was really funny. I go on to the next story.

0:02:48.605 --> 0:02:50.605
<v Speaker 1>And this is youring work. You say, let's see youre

0:02:50.605 --> 0:02:54.125
<v Speaker 1>working hard on the show. Not one Instagram story. And

0:02:54.205 --> 0:02:56.085
<v Speaker 1>the second one, as I said, it.

0:02:56.045 --> 0:02:57.725
<v Speaker 4>Was towards the end of the day. It was just

0:02:57.765 --> 0:02:58.325
<v Speaker 4>a little I.

0:02:58.285 --> 0:02:59.965
<v Speaker 1>Don't care if it's at the start of the day,

0:03:00.045 --> 0:03:01.484
<v Speaker 1>end of the day. Should be no tones in the

0:03:01.525 --> 0:03:02.805
<v Speaker 1>day going on your instant stories.

0:03:02.845 --> 0:03:04.685
<v Speaker 4>Well, look at the content it gave us. Because the

0:03:04.685 --> 0:03:05.485
<v Speaker 4>next story.

0:03:05.525 --> 0:03:07.765
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm still looking for it. Where is it? It's

0:03:07.845 --> 0:03:08.685
<v Speaker 1>threadbare at them.

0:03:09.445 --> 0:03:11.605
<v Speaker 4>So the first one was my best friend Taylor. The

0:03:11.645 --> 0:03:14.965
<v Speaker 4>next story another friend of mine, Taylor. They're not friends,

0:03:15.005 --> 0:03:19.685
<v Speaker 4>they don't know each other. Exact same quote and exact

0:03:19.725 --> 0:03:21.925
<v Speaker 4>same name, exact same name.

0:03:22.365 --> 0:03:23.365
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty good.

0:03:24.245 --> 0:03:27.165
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the quote sharing isn't that good.

0:03:27.205 --> 0:03:30.125
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that they're both the same name Taylor.

0:03:29.965 --> 0:03:33.845
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, joth Taylor, same quote, exact same day. The first

0:03:33.925 --> 0:03:36.605

<v Speaker 2>goes and has it, has his tumor removed. Now they've

0:05:12.005 --> 0:05:15.925
<v Speaker 2>removed this tumor, and then they've discovered there's actually glass

0:05:16.284 --> 0:05:17.645
<v Speaker 2>in the tumor itself.

0:05:18.924 --> 0:05:20.684

<v Speaker 2>and it turns out he is. They use the tumor

0:05:54.604 --> 0:05:58.005
<v Speaker 2>and everything absolutely fantastically and there's no problems with him.

0:05:58.005 --> 0:05:59.725
<v Speaker 2>He no longer has a tumor because the glass have

0:05:59.804 --> 0:06:00.325

<v Speaker 2>I put after I gave the glass.

0:06:09.364 --> 0:06:11.445

0:06:25.885 --> 0:06:28.164
<v Speaker 5>Mary, thank you very much.

0:06:28.245 --> 0:06:29.724
<v Speaker 6>How are we this morning, Christian?

0:06:29.844 --> 0:06:31.004
<v Speaker 3>We're good? Are you good? Mary?

0:06:31.085 --> 0:06:32.404
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I'm good.

<v Speaker 6>Thank you?

0:06:32.924 --> 0:06:34.205
<v Speaker 3>All right, Mary, what's your story?

0:06:35.245 --> 0:06:39.604
<v Speaker 5>So my story is thirty eight years ago tomorrow I

0:06:39.804 --> 0:06:43.164
<v Speaker 5>married my husband, whose name is Peter.

0:06:44.325 --> 0:06:47.444
<v Speaker 6>I also have a brother named Peter. He has a

0:06:47.484 --> 0:06:49.364
<v Speaker 6>brother in law named Peter, and.

0:06:49.284 --> 0:06:50.604
<v Speaker 3>His best man was Peter.

0:06:51.604 --> 0:06:55.085
<v Speaker 6>So when I walked up the aisle, there was Peter, Peter, Peter, Peter.

0:06:59.245 --> 0:07:00.645
<v Speaker 3>It's water or Pete.

0:07:01.445 --> 0:07:02.085
<v Speaker 5>That was it.

0:07:02.205 --> 0:07:04.964
<v Speaker 2>And when they said Peter, do you take Mary as

0:07:04.964 --> 0:07:05.725
<v Speaker 2>for your wife?

0:07:05.964 --> 0:07:07.164
<v Speaker 5>They all said I do.

0:07:11.445 --> 0:07:17.885
<v Speaker 3>I love this story. It's britt Mary. That's a great one.

0:07:17.925 --> 0:07:19.244
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for sharing.

0:07:19.925 --> 0:07:22.364
<v Speaker 5>Thanks guys, all right, I have a great one.

0:07:22.685 --> 0:07:23.485
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much.

0:07:24.005 --> 0:07:28.165
<v Speaker 1>Now do you remember I think it's last year similar

0:07:28.165 --> 0:07:30.205
<v Speaker 1>to that. That one was like a load of Peters.

0:07:30.804 --> 0:07:35.085
<v Speaker 1>Don't remember the Paul Paul Paul? Oh this cool? Yes,

0:07:35.205 --> 0:07:37.885
<v Speaker 1>the pools at the barbers barbers.

0:07:37.525 --> 0:07:39.005
<v Speaker 5>A few weeks ago to me, he goes, oh, what's

0:07:39.045 --> 0:07:40.245
<v Speaker 5>your name? And I said, oh, it's Paul.

0:07:40.325 --> 0:07:42.124
<v Speaker 1>And there was four other people in there, and the

0:07:42.125 --> 0:07:43.805
<v Speaker 1>guy next to me goes, oh, my name's Paul.

0:07:43.885 --> 0:07:45.805
<v Speaker 2>The barber says, my name is Paul, and.

0:07:45.765 --> 0:07:47.525
<v Speaker 5>The other guy says, oh, my name is Paul. So

0:07:47.765 --> 0:07:48.764
<v Speaker 5>I'm not one of the odds.

0:07:48.765 --> 0:07:51.444
<v Speaker 1>So I took a photograph four pools and there was

0:07:51.445 --> 0:07:55.005
<v Speaker 1>only four people in the barbers Paul. So there were

0:07:55.045 --> 0:07:58.485
<v Speaker 1>four pools in that story. Now by my counting, was

0:07:58.525 --> 0:07:59.925
<v Speaker 1>it five peters?

0:08:00.525 --> 0:08:02.085
<v Speaker 3>Four peters?

0:08:02.125 --> 0:08:04.124
<v Speaker 1>One day we need to see we can get what

0:08:04.205 --> 0:08:07.045
<v Speaker 1>are the odds involved? The same name but over four

0:08:07.885 --> 0:08:10.885
<v Speaker 1>simons us. Now, good morning someone and welcome to the show.

0:08:11.804 --> 0:08:13.525

0:08:32.925 --> 0:08:37.445
<v Speaker 6>o'clock rolls around. Bang, we're in. We both get tickets

0:08:37.485 --> 0:08:39.445
<v Speaker 6>to the games that we need, and then we share

0:08:39.485 --> 0:08:42.364
<v Speaker 6>the tickets with each other via the app. And it's

0:08:42.405 --> 0:08:47.005
<v Speaker 6>at that point we realize we've been randomly allocated the

0:08:47.125 --> 0:08:52.645
<v Speaker 6>exact same seats for two different matches. Oh wow, two

0:08:52.684 --> 0:08:55.485
<v Speaker 6>tickets at the MS to two different games at the MCG,

0:08:56.165 --> 0:08:59.684
<v Speaker 6>in the same bay, the same row, and the same

0:08:59.765 --> 0:09:00.484
<v Speaker 6>two seats.

0:09:00.684 --> 0:09:03.405
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what over one hundred thousand seats at the MCG.

0:09:04.045 --> 0:09:04.484
<v Speaker 6>That's it.

0:09:04.725 --> 0:09:07.645
<v Speaker 3>Yep, this is huge. And also it's our first ever

0:09:07.765 --> 0:09:12.125
<v Speaker 3>sporting the odds. I believe. That's incredible.

0:09:12.684 --> 0:09:14.525
<v Speaker 6>That's that's a takeaway from me for today.

0:09:14.845 --> 0:09:19.005
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, love it. Thank you very much, brilliant story someone,

0:09:39.005 --> 0:09:45.125
<v Speaker 5>oh good. My story is my mum. She won tickets

0:09:45.125 --> 0:09:48.005
<v Speaker 5>to Paris and she was very excited about buying my

0:09:48.045 --> 0:09:52.405
<v Speaker 5>little daughter a French parat when we got home, the

0:09:52.804 --> 0:09:57.285
<v Speaker 5>lovely little bag you know, Parree Paris bat shop. And

0:09:57.605 --> 0:09:59.525
<v Speaker 5>I opened it up and it was all lovely and

0:09:59.564 --> 0:10:03.885
<v Speaker 5>tissue paper, beautiful redsalvet piret. And I looked inside and

0:10:03.885 --> 0:10:06.925
<v Speaker 5>I said, Mom, where'd you get this from? She says,

0:10:07.125 --> 0:10:09.525
<v Speaker 5>you're not work good. I got it in Paris, yes,

0:10:17.765 --> 0:10:21.324

0:10:21.365 --> 0:10:23.925
<v Speaker 3>a scandal over this, I'm sure.

0:10:24.125 --> 0:10:26.885
