Speaker 5: Is going to be that unsafe?
Speaker 4: You just got to clim up a ladder and give
Speaker 4: a little I wouldn't do it today.
Speaker 5: No, no, not today.

Speaker 6: upper ladder at all.
Speaker 1: But one of the biggest arguments we ever had once
Speaker 1: when there came home and I was up a ladder.
Speaker 1: Why were you up the ladder? You would have thought
Speaker 1: I was taking drugs having an orgy. I think if
Speaker 1: I was having an orgy it would have been milder.
Speaker 1: Her response, what God? Getting down right now?
Speaker 5: Do you want to die?
Speaker 1: Do you want to meet your grandchildren? I was like, wait,

Speaker 1: member of the public who doesn't know he's the unwitting
Speaker 1: star of a hidden camera show. They're on a company retreat,
Speaker 1: right and cast it really well. Is that he's such
Speaker 1: a lovely, likable guy and they're all improvactors.

Speaker 1: Only the Inner Inner Inner team know where it is
Speaker 1: and their respect the one I'm there in hiding. No
Speaker 1: one's to know where I am.
Speaker 5: I'm going to take it to my grave that spot.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. It's a shame that somebody else on
Speaker 1: this team didn't do that has blurted out to the
Speaker 1: new boss.
Speaker 5: We have no carrying up to the boss.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, Particier Caitlin Judas I heard yesterday I had
Speaker 1: had a dinner with our new management team yesterday, and

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, else I would have a hid spot. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: somewhere in the city. No, I didn't know. It sound

Speaker 1: that that rent, that massive.
Speaker 7: What you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blurted it out. I thought you had my back.
Speaker 6: I do no, no, no, no no, but you know
Speaker 6: the bosses, and they came over to me and then you,
Speaker 6: and I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Make a tough badass. You do not cower other people

Speaker 1: Tell you what. The only way you would seem yourself
Speaker 1: now is to find a new hiding place. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you need to. You need to build a somewhere in
Speaker 1: this radio station, another hiding place for me.
Speaker 3: There is space underneath.
Speaker 1: Say too much I need And also i'd imagine that
Speaker 1: people listening right now who've probably got hiding space at work.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's successful career involves having some
Speaker 1: kind of hiding space somewhere at work. If you've got one, Alex,
Speaker 1: if you've got one at Channel seven, I do.
Speaker 7: It's labeled a quiet room, but I'm going to call
Speaker 7: it Alex's room because I always go there and no
Speaker 7: one knows where it is, and no one knows can
Speaker 7: see me in this and there's a wall that kind
Speaker 7: of hides where I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes I lie on the floor of my old
Speaker 1: hiding space. Yeah, yeah, just lie on the floor. No,
Speaker 1: it's not for me. It's incredible. Have it snow angels now,
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Car'tpt angels anyway. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you about Operation Meat Trade. Now. I can't go into
Speaker 1: too many details, but you don't need to be some
Speaker 1: kind of radio industry expert to know that. Right now,
Speaker 1: in Australian radio it is crazy scenes, wild scenes. You
Speaker 1: know that I'm show I'm talking about. We're on there
Speaker 1: for a long time, fall out, legal cases. I can
Speaker 1: say no more. But what does it mean for this show?
Speaker 1: And what does it mean for you? More importantly, it
Speaker 1: means breakfast show wars are fully on and it's all
Speaker 1: centering around the new listeners that are flicking around in
Speaker 1: Sydney as they try and find some new home to
Speaker 1: listen to the morning after having a show for a
Speaker 1: very long time. So we need your help because right
Speaker 1: now it's a battleground as all the other shows that
Speaker 1: are up for grabs in Sydney are all trying like
Speaker 1: a mad real estate gram or trying to get their
Speaker 1: grubby hands and seize the flag at number one. Our
Speaker 1: movie is to go straight to number three. We're sitting
Speaker 1: strong at number four. Our first ratings Scence Sydney came
Speaker 1: out last week number four, an honorable four. It's a
Speaker 1: very honorable four. It's an honest for he's very honest.
Speaker 1: You'd trust that too, honest. Just smudge it a bit,
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, while we demand a recount, stop the

Speaker 1: Now, all we want to talk about now is fame
Speaker 1: in the family. You go through your family tree. These days,
Speaker 1: with ancestry and DNA testing, you can uncover so much
Speaker 1: about your family. Often when we start talking about fame
Speaker 1: in the family, there's a smell that comes in the
Speaker 1: studio of BS and I can see Rio is prime
Speaker 1: with a story that is a little bit of beer.
Speaker 1: If the man who invented the jeff come on, a
Speaker 1: man who took down Rommel and you're going to drop
Speaker 1: the drefful maker.
Speaker 4: Very decorated ancestors. My grandfather, doctor Ernest Smithers, invented.
Speaker 1: Exactly Patch is right, she's calling it out if he's
Speaker 1: gonna lie. He had that best mate, Homer Simpson.
Speaker 4: It was his name from the Simpsons existences. Doctor Ernest Smithers,
Speaker 4: look it up, invented the jaffle maker. The trademark is
Speaker 4: in his name. He invented it. So every time you
Speaker 4: have a toasty you crunch into a delicious ham cheese
Speaker 4: and tomato number, think, thank you, Rio and thank you,
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
Speaker 5: You're all well.
Speaker 1: Surely though, you should be sting the family dynasty. Now, No,
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 5: Actually he was a bit of a rogue operator.
Speaker 4: He had a number of inventions and would just invent
Speaker 4: them and then sell the trademark straight away.
Speaker 5: My parents, actually my mum was actually quite poor.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: They He invented a lot of things.
Speaker 4: Invented the true sliced bread knife, which was a top
Speaker 4: selling bread knife back in the day.

Speaker 4: Inlet on the Sydney South Coast.
Speaker 1: So he invented the jafful yeah.
Speaker 5: The jaffle maker, yeah, and it wasn't a thing.
Speaker 1: And then he came up with that yeah. And then
Speaker 1: he goes, how I want to sue you should be
