WEBVTT - TALKBACK TINGZ: Falling Asleep On Air 📻

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 2>So talk back teams is where we play the weird

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 2>shit that occurs on talkback radio because it's a fucking cesspool,

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it is.

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>You get some weird characters calling.

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Machine, also from the hosts and from the listeners the hosts,

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.440
<v Speaker 3>because you think about it, these poor fuckers have to

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 3>feel so much time.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no songs, very few ad breaks often, yeah,

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.119
<v Speaker 2>especially at ABC, but yeah, that's why they get so

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>many odd characters calling through. And often when it's a

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>really popular talkback radio station, you could be on hold

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>for ages, like we have called talkback radio stations in

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>this segment, and we don't have to wait too long

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>because we pick on the underdogs. We go for the

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:40.919
<v Speaker 2>less popular stations so that we don't have to wait

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>too long. But the really popular stations you could be

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>on hold for quite a while because there's, believe it

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>or not, lots of people calling through and over. On

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>three a W apparently one man was on hold so

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>long that he just fell asleep. What and so by

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the time they took his call, this is what they heard.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 4>John calls from South Australia. Get a John. Oh, no,

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 4>John's been hanging on it been. It's been a good

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty odd minutes or so, and he's fallen asleep. We

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.559
<v Speaker 4>had the passing parade and the news and a break

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 4>and another call. Yeah, that's a big snare. I wonder

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 4>if John's married. Oh, because I snore a bit like this. Actually,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 4>I fell asleep in the office yesterday afternoon, Like I've

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 4>got a door that shuts, and I'm just a little

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 4>on the tired side. So I just leaned back on

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 4>the chair. It's still snowing. I leaned back on the

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 4>chair and put my feet up on the desk and

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>I just closed my eyes just I'll just get a

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 4>little five minute power and app and then I wake

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 4>myself up with a snore. Oh are you there, John? Yeah,

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 4>good mate? How are you tricking off? No, that's right.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 4>It happens at this time in the morning.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Not a problem.

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that he'd stuck with it.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Didn't move on to any other callers, just stuck with

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>the snoring, poor thing. So it was a snoring on

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the line for a total of sixty seconds. That's a

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 2>long time before he finally went.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Now, what do we think the setup was? I was

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 3>trying to picture that was the fine on his neck

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 3>on his lap or was he in a bluetooth head thing.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was like a home phone and he just

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of had it tucked between his cheek and his shoulder.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm imagining. Why was he querying whether or

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>not he had a partner, I don't know. I think

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that was like heterosexual humor. Like my wife balls me,

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if he's married. I saw like, yeah, right right,

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>if he's married, will be for long. And so I

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 2>was thinking that we should try and beat that sixty seconds. Yeah,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we call a radio station and snore on the line.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 2>See how long it takes him to hang up. Similar

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to coughing fit chicken. Yeah, I think coughing fit chicken.

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But the WORRINGITCHI it's.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Literally perfect for me, coughing fit chick. And we had

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 3>to stop for medical reasons because I was coughing up

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 3>my lam.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>No. You literally just have a nap now, I just sleep.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 3>It's perfect for me. But try to call a radio station.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know, because I was thinking that not

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of radio stations would stick with that call.

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>If we're trying to beat the record, most radio stations

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 2>could be like, Okay, then there and then move on.

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we should call someone else.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and also it's quite handy that you're feeling fucked

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.839
<v Speaker 2>in the head today because that will lend itself quite

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>nicely to your character.

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 3>Dot wickens it will.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 2>She's seen all of the best of the time. Yeah,

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that's perfect for your current na.

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>She's here, she is here.

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Bring in the ninety year old alter ego of mitches.

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Come on in. Don't spill the lemonade.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>She spilled her the sweps she's diabetic. She can't have it.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>We're going to get you to make a phone call.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>And are you feeling a bit tired, because it's not

0:03:58.640 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>off if you want.

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 3>It, Yes, my right around the corner.

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we haven't thought of who we're going to call

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>on your behalf though, Dot Mitchell Cherry come back.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who should we call instead of a radio station?

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 3>What?

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>What about? How made it? TVSN?

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 3>We call her a couple of weeks we've done that.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a numberould be blocked. What if we

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>were to call a sleep appnear clinic, they'd have so

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 3>much empathy because they're used to it. In fact, this

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 3>is probably a daily occurrence clinics that.

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Will definitely beat the sixty seconds, okay, or.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 3>A sleep center or a sleep study. I've had a

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 3>sleep study done. They're very nice.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.680
