Speaker 3: in the nineteen ninety one Super Bowl doing the spar
Speaker 3: Star Spangled banner, which is the US national anthem. People
Speaker 3: might have seen Lady Gaga did it. Yeah last night
Speaker 3: the inauguration of Joe Biden, and this clip that I
Speaker 3: watched is the guy saying why he thinks that the
Speaker 3: Whitney Houston version is the best ever. It goes for
Speaker 3: over twenty minutes long, and he breaks down.
Speaker 2: Everyone like Rick, does you know there's great YouTube ones
Speaker 2: of like what makes a great song and they break
Speaker 2: it down. It's so interesting.
Speaker 3: He's in the very same vein as Rick Bardo. His
Speaker 3: name is Charles Cornell. You can find him on a YouTube,
Speaker 3: and he breaks down this song for twenty minutes. He's
Speaker 3: a little bit of him listening to the song.
Speaker 2: My god, it's so good.
Speaker 3: It just makes you like you can't even just so beautiful.
Speaker 2: The ease with which she hits those high notes just
Speaker 2: like ough strain it all.
Speaker 6: It's like it's an effortless, completely effortless.
Speaker 3: I love watching somebody when they're really passionate about something.
Speaker 3: Obviously I don't have the same attachment to the US
Speaker 3: national anthem as other people do. But he was so
Speaker 3: passionate about this and went through why the arrangement of
Speaker 3: her version of the song is so good and why
Speaker 3: her singing is so good, and it is amazing. I've
Speaker 3: got I've got the last twenty seconds of the Star
Speaker 3: Spangled banner. This is Whitney Houston, nineteen ninety one Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: the best ever US National Anthem.
Speaker 2: What a voice. I'm no musical expert, but that she
Speaker 2: had some other voice and over Yet, there are so
Speaker 2: many great bands who struggled at the super Bowl because
Speaker 2: either the sound there and they know there's a billion
Speaker 2: people watching it on TV. That would be crittiquing every
Speaker 2: single moment. Her voice I've never heard that actually given
Speaker 2: me goosebumps. She smashes it.
Speaker 3: And when you watch the clip, the word effortless that
Speaker 3: he uses to describe it is so true. She just
Speaker 3: looks so comfortable, so chill, but able to hit those
Speaker 3: powerful robes before. I'm obsessed with Whitney Houston now after
Speaker 3: hearing that, I.

Speaker 2: who loves to read like me. So every month we're
Speaker 2: going to read a book together. I brought us our
Speaker 2: two special notepads that we then make our notes and
Speaker 2: we sit down and we talk about them. And then
Speaker 2: we've just done our first book, which is an amazing book.
Speaker 2: I love this book. In fact, when I brought an
Speaker 2: extra copy for your wife, so I know she does
Speaker 2: an amazing proper book club. It's called the Group and
Speaker 2: one lots of awards. It's an amazing story. My six
Speaker 2: year old daughter absolutely loved it. That's our first book.
Speaker 2: I'm given that nine out of ten. It's an amazing story.
Speaker 3: So have you done the meeting yet where you review
Speaker 3: the book together or is that still to come.
Speaker 2: Yep, we've done that and now we're already started our
Speaker 2: next book, which is The Lying Life of Adults that
Speaker 2: she picked. So we're each each of the we're each
Speaker 2: taking it turns to pick what book we do.
Speaker 3: So and then when do you do it? Like in
Speaker 3: the living room, is your wife like hanging around the
Speaker 3: background and lowest the other daughter are they hanging around
Speaker 3: or are they not invited into the room?
Speaker 2: Lois don't isn't a reader, So I'm starting with her.
Speaker 2: We're having guitar lessons together. Yeah, but I'm telling you, Jack,
Speaker 2: you're going to need to give me some flexibility exercise
Speaker 2: for my fingers. I'm really struggling to get my hands
Speaker 2: round it. It's so awkward if you're not.
Speaker 3: Used to it to get the strength on the string.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not just that, they go, what's happening to
Speaker 2: your little finger and you're trying to put pressure on it.

Speaker 2: about but bringing a.
Speaker 3: B so you've got a teacher. Oh that's great. Oh

Speaker 2: to a couple of lessons, right then she really really

Speaker 3: a week off.
Speaker 2: Well, I showed them what the nose look like. And
Speaker 2: also during the day yesterday gone on Google to see
Speaker 2: why I did. He'll a cut very quickly. This is

Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: The problems over the next couple of weeks of my
Speaker 2: gluey nose. The photo shoot today is this where so
Speaker 2: what I is? I got a little bit of household
Speaker 2: super glue. Okay, went to stop, went went to went
Speaker 2: and got some and push the skin together, the two flaps,
Speaker 2: but a couple of beads like you would do if
Speaker 2: you put it together a vase or something, or a
Speaker 2: precious ornament. And that's what my nose is put it.
Speaker 2: I held it in place for a bit, right, and
Speaker 2: I was using those surgical gloves professional and then.
Speaker 3: So you took some precautions, just not the glue, yep.

Speaker 2: Emails we've got this morning for Late la Party are
Speaker 2: concerning head whacks of all shapes and kinds. Okay, we've
Speaker 2: got all different locations where people have banged their heads.
Speaker 2: This was because yesterday I was talking about how I
Speaker 2: banged my nose by running into a glass store. Let's
Speaker 2: go to the deli counter at Cole's First One Farm,
Speaker 2: Rebecca Christian my head injury story. These girls working at
Speaker 2: the deli at Carl's. Always whenever I got to those
Speaker 2: deli counters, I've never managed to get there without doing
Speaker 2: that thing where you go, there's always that. I get
Speaker 2: very nericous about going to the deli counter because I
Speaker 2: never quite know what the protocol is. There's always at
Speaker 2: least three people milling around there, and I don't know
Speaker 2: are they being served.
Speaker 3: Because only fifty percent of the people or fifty percent
Speaker 3: of the time are they using the number system. The
Speaker 3: number system uses the number.
Speaker 2: System in the UK. You don't walk up to it
Speaker 2: and just ask for the olives. You get that little
Speaker 2: ticket and you wait to be called out. It's like bingo, bingo.
Speaker 2: I get my rash as a bacon where it's here.
Speaker 2: No one already knows that ticket system.
Speaker 3: Because the deli counter is so long, you don't know
Speaker 3: if a guy right down like ten meters away from
Speaker 3: you've got there for you or not.
Speaker 2: I hope Corls some almost listen to me right now.
Speaker 2: Idea it works a pharmacists, Why don't you have like
Speaker 2: two layers behind you on shelves of all the meats
Speaker 2: and olives behind you. Then people might know where to
Speaker 2: get the stuff. And I let you go to the pharmacy.
Speaker 2: You just queue in a line.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, but they don't have to be raised above
Speaker 3: everybody else county.
Speaker 2: Now, I'd like to see them install the pharmacy system there.
Speaker 2: I remember once, you know, when they also go, how
Speaker 2: much do you want? And I don't know what sort
Speaker 2: of pound of weight you want or half a kilo
Speaker 2: or two and fifty grands. I always just sort of
Speaker 2: my I remember once I want some a couple of
Speaker 2: slices of turkey breasts. Right then he went how much?
Speaker 2: How much do you want love? They always call you
Speaker 2: that day, how much do you want love? And I
Speaker 2: don't know why there's a parent. I went, two slices.
Speaker 2: She sort of looks me at so she sliced off
Speaker 2: two slices of gate to me, and I went to
Speaker 2: my wife. I panicked, I've only got two slices because
Speaker 2: if my wife went, you need to go back and
Speaker 2: asked for ten, I went, I can't do that. It
Speaker 2: wasn't even a dollar, right, it barely weighed anything. Listen
Speaker 2: to my wife, I can't get think that's not wrong
Speaker 2: with me. I made my wife go back and ask
Speaker 2: some more to rest anyway, Beck, she's working at the
Speaker 2: deadly counter of goals. It's forward tension. That's what we've
Speaker 2: learnt this morning. I lean into the case. That's what
Speaker 2: the deli workers called it. We call it the fridge.
Speaker 2: They called it the case. I lent the case to
Speaker 2: get some bacon for a customer, and as when I
Speaker 2: was moving back up to straighten up, I hit the
Speaker 2: back of my head on the edge of the case
Speaker 2: and managed to knock myself out. Everything went black and
Speaker 2: I keeled over. I'd also given myself concussion. Beck, Beck,
Speaker 2: we'd like a bit more details what happened the guy
Speaker 2: I want his bacon? I mean, if he hadn't got
Speaker 2: that number, he could still be there three years later,
Speaker 2: playing for a streaky bacon. There. Where's she gone? Because
Speaker 2: you've disappeared behind that ledge, we don't know where you are.
Speaker 2: Let me can be a whole load of bodies down
Speaker 2: there behind that big, old, extra long dead counter. Christian,
Speaker 2: I heard you on the show yesterday talking about head injuries.
Speaker 2: But the photo shoot, I've got this story for you.
Speaker 2: My grandson had a football themed party for a seventh
Speaker 2: birthday at a local sports imagine thirty fellow seven year
Speaker 2: old It's entire virtually school. You was there running around
Speaker 2: with one football. Jake and his cousin ran into each
Speaker 2: other at full speed, resulting in Jake getting a huge
Speaker 2: black eye. The next day was the school photo at school.
Speaker 2: There was always one kid who had a like a
Speaker 2: split lip or a black eye. It was not the
Speaker 2: school photo rules, wasn't it. Next day was the school
Speaker 2: photo at school, and the bruising was now covering Jake's
Speaker 2: eyebrow and cheap bone. My daughter, because Jake's my grandson,
Speaker 2: my daughter phoned the school and said, maybe don't take
Speaker 2: Jake's photo. It would have been the only missed school
Speaker 2: photo from his that yet all his primary school years.
Speaker 2: Late in the morning, He's got a phone call from
Speaker 2: the school photographer saying they could airbrush Jake's injury from
Speaker 2: the photo. My daughter agreed to this, and she got
Speaker 2: the traditional school photo of her song with no sign
Speaker 2: whatsoever of his black eye. It was perfect. Maybe you
Speaker 2: could ask a photographer if they can do the same
Speaker 2: with you. Kim, Thank you very much. I mean all
Speaker 2: I needed the details of the school photographer and I
Speaker 2: get them to do the photo shoot. Kim, thank you
Speaker 2: very much. Christian about six years ago, is to build

Speaker 2: old man is lucky to be alive after he was
Speaker 2: attacked by a crocodile while slimming or even swimming. He
Speaker 2: was doing both. You know, that's how you get slim.
Speaker 2: It's by swimming, but it's called swimming. Swimming in a
Speaker 2: lake in far North Queensland. He was swimming in Lake
Speaker 2: Placid and Cairns attacked by the crocodile. He told paramedics
Speaker 2: he felt the animal's jaws clamp around his head and
Speaker 2: that's normally when it's over, it will take you down.
Speaker 2: The most effective predator in the world. You must have
Speaker 2: heard that on that crocodile tour when he got to Queensland. Patsy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they tell you about ever ever, not even as a
Speaker 2: joke or a prank or a photo, not even an
Speaker 2: arm you know he managed this hero He managed to
Speaker 2: pry the animal's jaws off his head, and then he
Speaker 2: had a considerable swim to the bank where others called
Speaker 2: the emergency services. Imagine that his head is in the
Speaker 2: jaws of death crocodile's head, and then he and the
Speaker 2: crocodiles there, you do they only eat once a year,
Speaker 2: six crocodile thinking, it's not in February, and I'm not
Speaker 2: to have these years. What an awesome start to twenty
Speaker 2: one guys. Guys got on here. Yeah, and he's like,
Speaker 2: let's get his head out of the crocodile. Then he's
Speaker 2: got a concern that's not enough. He's then got a
Speaker 2: considerable swim, not a swim, a considerable swim, makes it
Speaker 2: to the shore. Queensland paramedics are there. He's covered in
Speaker 2: puncture marks and he tells them what he just done.
Speaker 3: This is incredible, amazing.
Speaker 2: That's tough. Would you have the presence of mind you
Speaker 2: even think about doing that?
Speaker 3: I guess even if I tried to do I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have the strength.
Speaker 2: Of course she would six week weeks a day that
Speaker 2: you have ten crocodiles, you could fight, You'd easy those
Speaker 2: curls you do in the crunches, you're just prying over,
Speaker 2: probably one armed or something of that. This moving here,
Speaker 2: just a couple of fingers to prize it open. This
Speaker 2: is time. I think if it was me the heads
Speaker 2: in the crocodile, I'm like, it's over for me. There's
Speaker 2: no point even try. Bye bye, whoa. These things are
Speaker 2: too much of me. I just give up. This makes
Speaker 2: me think, though Australians, you guys are and women are tough.
Speaker 2: Your bread tough here, Okay, you're not like us pommies.
Speaker 2: We're in a far more sort of lily scented, softer
Speaker 2: land here. The land's tough, the people are tough. So

Speaker 2: head wasn't in the jaws of a crocodile. Not too
Speaker 2: many stories about those knocking around on the streets. But

Speaker 11: pulled up near Townsville and I was just eating my
Speaker 11: mayonnaise and chicken toasted sandwich and I was standing there
Speaker 11: with my car and I heard a large wolf sound.
Speaker 11: And it wasn't a dog. It was a gentleman who
Speaker 11: was fueling his car a Jerry can in the back
Speaker 11: of his car, and his car had a fridge in
Speaker 11: the back and it exploded with the fuel jerry can
Speaker 11: or fuel through the back of his car. And I
Speaker 11: look over and see him holding the fuel nozzle, still
Speaker 11: trying to brush the flames off his arm.
Speaker 2: What did you do? I mean, you don't rush.
Speaker 5: Switch in my mouth?
Speaker 3: And then I decided, well what am I going to
Speaker 3: do here?
Speaker 11: And I raced. I was in the military at the time,
Speaker 11: so I was in the Navy.
Speaker 2: To this. I was trying to put the sandwich in
Speaker 2: your mouth. Then you walk towards danger.
Speaker 11: Oh, I couldn't let my sandwich go.
Speaker 5: It's a really good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chicken and Mayo went straight home.
Speaker 11: That Chicken and Mayo toasted, but it had to be toasted.
Speaker 11: And I went out over there and grabbed the virustinguisher.
Speaker 11: Everyone else is just standing there and I put him
Speaker 11: out in the back of his car. And and he
Speaker 11: was left standing there, covered in white down at the
Speaker 11: back of his car. And yes, he wasn't impressed, but
Speaker 11: he was happy the fact that his car is not
Speaker 11: burnt to the ground.
Speaker 2: He saved his life, people, their lives, pets. Where did
Speaker 2: you get that toasty from? By the way, where are
Speaker 2: that Chicken and Mayo? Yeah, he had a fridge in
Speaker 2: the back of his car.

Speaker 13: cookab our snags in bread, chopping up with your firewood
Speaker 13: as you do with your little hatchet that you have
Speaker 13: with you. It's the block of firewood that I was
Speaker 13: cutting up into some kindling and hit my thumb with
Speaker 13: that with the hatchet. While I was out in the
Speaker 13: middle of nowhere with my two daughters to cook up
Speaker 13: alan well, we were cooking up our lunch. So it
Speaker 13: was raining. I decided that the fire was going so
Speaker 13: well we had to still eat our sausages in bread
Speaker 13: because I wasn't going anywhere, And so.
Speaker 2: The thumb, so it's the thumb hanging off for half.
Speaker 13: The top of the thumb was half hanging off, so
Speaker 13: I cut. I cut down horizontally, would centimeter or so
Speaker 13: deep into my thumb, so the top of my thumb
Speaker 13: and half my nail was off. So my fifteen year old,
Speaker 13: when I grabbed the first aik Kicks from the car,
Speaker 13: wrapped a hanky around it and a bit of a
Speaker 13: bandage stopped bleeding. Yeah, And we sat there and we
Speaker 13: ate our lunch and you.
Speaker 2: Know, carried on with it like half hanging off thumb
Speaker 2: and still count awake in.
Speaker 13: Lunch I did. I had to sit for a minute
Speaker 13: and compose myself because there was a stage where I
Speaker 13: just about passed out, and so I thought, you know,
Speaker 13: I have to I thought this isn't too good. But
Speaker 13: you know, fire was roaring, snags were cooking, So what
Speaker 13: do you do? You've got to eat, and so what
Speaker 13: did you do?
Speaker 2: Did you take yourself to hospital? It's hard to drive
Speaker 2: if you've done your thumb.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Look I had about an hour's drive home. So
Speaker 13: I did that, showered all those things, and then I
Speaker 13: just was going to put a couple of those butterfly
Speaker 13: you know, like band aids over it, thinking it's all right,
Speaker 13: the glue itself back together. And one of my friends
Speaker 13: who's the nurse looked at it and she goes, you
Speaker 13: need to go to the hospital and get from any gardy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So I ended up at the hopital in ar and
Speaker 13: I was admitted and ended up having to have surgery
Speaker 13: on it. So I stayed overnight and then a few
Speaker 13: weeks later I had to go back and have more
Speaker 13: surgery on it.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, do you know what I reckon? You're the
Speaker 2: lead now, you are so fast? You are reckon, Robin,
Speaker 2: you are the toughest. This is so fast.
Speaker 13: Oh thank you, it's kin off.
Speaker 2: All right, Robin, it might be you. Let's take some
Speaker 2: more calls. Arthur. Good morning, let's go to Arthur. I'm
Speaker 2: good Arthur. So we're looking this morning for our toughest listener, Arthur.
Speaker 2: What's your story? Min?
Speaker 5: I got run over by a multi wheel ashtilt compactor.
Speaker 5: Well squashed.
Speaker 2: Now, just explain this to a laymer like me. Is
Speaker 2: that like it's kind of like your your steamroller. It's
Speaker 2: a giant.
Speaker 5: One of the term machines that's used for compacting the
Speaker 5: steam roller, the one with the drum compact that the
Speaker 5: multi wheel shines the surface.
Speaker 2: And so what did you under or so what happened, Arthur.
Speaker 5: I was we were doing traffic control in Sydney and
Speaker 5: I was on a ride quos but had to keep
Speaker 5: traffic off the ash belt because that had just been laid.
Speaker 5: And apparently the blake didn't see me hit me in
Speaker 5: the left shoulder. Down I went, and under, I went.
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at a photo of what you're talking
Speaker 2: about right now. It's a huge machine. It's a massive machine,
Speaker 2: seventeen tons yep. And what did it do? Compact you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I tried, and what happened?
Speaker 5: The left leg went under the world.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Seven.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the right leg went between the world and he
Speaker 5: left hip acted as a wedge.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can laugh fither. We're all in silence
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 5: So I gathered I would love to have been there
Speaker 5: to see the expression on your faces.
Speaker 2: Yeah it we're all shocked. And so I thought, what
Speaker 2: were the repercussions wip into your body?
Speaker 5: Two percent whole person impairments, constant spelling at the left
Speaker 5: leg because I lost the lymph grains in my grind,
Speaker 5: and about forty percent use to me left arms.
Speaker 2: Are you actually lucky to be alive?
Speaker 5: Yeah? And three and a half months in hospital and
Speaker 5: then the next two years after that in and out
Speaker 5: of hospital.
Speaker 2: I bet, And how are you now today? What's your
Speaker 2: paint like day to day?
Speaker 5: Ah? Pain, Pain is a state of mind, my friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I've been run over by giants
Speaker 2: or seventeen thing, it's not a mental thing. It's very physical.
Speaker 3: I just meditate on that.
Speaker 2: You hit yourself out, return to the bread.
Speaker 5: After you see three and a half months in hospital
Speaker 5: you learned to do.
Speaker 2: I bet you do. You are a tough oh man, seriously,
Speaker 2: half versus seventeen times after.
Speaker 5: Reds I've even got proof of it all.
Speaker 2: Well, but yeah, I mean, no one, no one, no
Speaker 2: one is saying, come on now, we don't believe you, Arthur.
Speaker 2: We we we trust that this is true, exactly right, Arthur.
Speaker 5: And I can give you a time date twice, Arthur.

Speaker 2: hammer going through the thumb from Robin Arthur. Next time
Speaker 2: I see one of those, you see them around it
Speaker 2: all the time. Those giant compactors are seventeen to some one.
Speaker 2: And the aman Arthur, did he half go under it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean you know when you say those in the cartoons,
Speaker 2: then well that's just a cartoon. A human being went
Speaker 2: otherwise and called est to say that he survived.
Speaker 3: It and laughed about it.
Speaker 2: I laughed about it. So thank you very much. Sure
Speaker 2: they made some stories you've given us this morning, we
Speaker 2: got time for a couple more. Lee, Good morning, Good
Speaker 2: there you're going. I'm good, Lee. What's your story for this? Then?
Speaker 10: Back in twenty eighteen, I was out practicing on my
Speaker 10: dirt bike. Love a dirt bike ride and all that
Speaker 10: sort of thing, and I had a pretty big crash
Speaker 10: and I just thought I broke a couple of ribs
Speaker 10: and a collar bone. Anyway, so I packed up and
Speaker 10: drove to short of just under two hours home back
Speaker 10: to back to Cayle, like where I'm from, And yeah,
Speaker 10: what didn't take long to realize that I'd done myself
Speaker 10: comes a bit more, a bit more of a nasty
Speaker 10: injury and got rushed to hospital. And once I got
Speaker 10: to the hospital, I realized that I'd they for me,
Speaker 10: that I'd ripped the main artery out of must pleen
Speaker 10: and tour it kicking in half.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, had enough with the smashing your collar
Speaker 2: bone and a couple of ribs. That's acony.
Speaker 10: But then all of that, Yeah, and it turned out
Speaker 10: that I only had about ten minutes, ten minutes of
Speaker 10: blood left, and before I probably wouldn't be with us anymore.
Speaker 2: So ten minutes I didn't know we had like gauges
Speaker 2: where they can go. They look somewhere, they go about
Speaker 2: ten minutes of blood left. Don't waste time chat to
Speaker 2: me ten minutes of blood. I might say that next
Speaker 2: time the boss, what's one of those long winded meetings
Speaker 2: on a Monday. Hey, it's about it. I just found
Speaker 2: out've only got eleven minutes of blood left.
Speaker 10: That is incredibly Yeah, basically, if I hadn't have got
Speaker 10: to hospital within that time frame. Yeah, I probably wouldn't
Speaker 10: be with us anymore. So it was actually obviously a
Speaker 10: lot more serious than what I originally thought.
Speaker 2: And you are lucky to be alive.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they I had to get rushed to Melbourne as
Speaker 10: the Alfred Hospital and they do blood transfusion and rush
Speaker 10: by helicopter and yeah, surgery and three months off work
Speaker 10: and yeah, still with us today, but only only one
Speaker 10: kidney now and yeah, but still he didn't tell the story.
Speaker 2: You take it. You're not on the dirt bike anymore, right,
Speaker 2: I've been back riding.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yep, couldn't keep me off it.
Speaker 2: But seriously, if that was me, I've been one of
Speaker 2: those zorbing balls in the bike and the bike. Wow,
Speaker 2: you are very very brave and tough doing all of that.
Speaker 2: It doesn't man rush more tough as listen, So I reckon,
Speaker 2: Robin's up there with the thumb, Arthur's obviously up there,
Speaker 2: and you Lee are up there as well.
Speaker 10: Yeah I was. Yeah, a bit of a tough time,
Speaker 10: but we got through. So that's amazing.

Speaker 2: someone that we could help out that all. Like you said,
Speaker 2: even a couple of people. It's your money to give
Speaker 2: how you want. Yeah, we're stunned. While was stiling in
