7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: I'm good, Makayla. So I'm fascinated to hear your story.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: What happened?

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when I was three years old, I was

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 4: knee boarding with my family up on the Murray River

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 4: and I'd fallen off the kneeboard and there was another

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 4: boat that was coming straight for me who didn't actually

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: see me in the water. So Dad had to speed

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 4: down the river to try and weidg his boat between

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 4: me and the other boat so the boat didn't run

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: over me.

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: What a hero. That's incredible. And what happened.

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: So there was no cauitions or anything like that, but

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: there was definitely some words had between my dad and

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: the other boat. He was not happy.

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an amazing story, Mikayla. Thank you very

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: much for giving us a call. Let's go to Sharon now.

23
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, Sharon, Good morning, how a you going.

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 5: When I was around about six or seven years old,

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: we used to go down to Phillipilond for our holidays

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 5: and there's a beach there called Red Rock and I

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 5: used to have these pair of bathers that Mum used

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 5: to make me wear that had a big frill at

29
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 5: the back on the bottom, and we used to go

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 5: climbing up there into the rocks, up high on the

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 5: cliffs and there was an opening that I started sliding

32
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: down towards heading off the edge of the cliff, and

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 5: my frill on these papers that I hated got caught

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 5: on the branch and stopped me from falling off the edge.

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: This is amazing you literally saved by the frills. I

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: was unbelievable.

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 5: Yep. That's my memory of it anyway.

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: Not just decorative, no.

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Cure part of the bathing suit.

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Sharon, that is an amazing story.

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: Yep.

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: Do you know what. It's definitely worthy of one of

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: our golden kettles.

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that sounds amazing than a one.

Speaker 1: There and the frills the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: The headline says, oh, women executed while vacuuming her artificial lawn.

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 2: Let's lead that to the side. Has her life saved?

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: She'said executed, hasn't. I've saved by her Puma rubber sliders.

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 2: So today she wouldn't be here, right, She's not gonna

54
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: be live without those Puma rubber sliders.

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: What single thing saved your life? What was it we've

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: heard about the frills on a bikini bottom saving whatever

57
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: your lives was incredible, Trish.

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a fully

59
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 6: loaded trailer of camping gear.

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: This is great. I've got another rest, Trish, least play

61
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: what happened?

62
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 6: As windy mountain road going really slowly around the corners,

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 6: single lane, Someone's coming the other way around the blind

64
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 6: corner really fast. My dad swore the cargoes off the

65
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 6: side of the mountain. The trailer is weighted with the

66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 6: camping gear and keeps us dangling there. O.

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: Wow, this is a scene you see the movie, isn't it,

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: where they're sort of just hovering on the edge of

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: a precipice. How did you get back up.

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 6: Mum and Dad got out, were able to get us

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 6: out really quickly.

72
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: In that situation, it'd be so wide if I get out.

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: This is getting lighter and you're in there.

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 6: And a little while later a big old dirty grader

76
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 6: was coming round and was able to winch the car up.

77
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 6: But if it wasn't for the trailer with all the

78
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 6: camping gear and I still hate camping to this day.

79
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 5: Wouldn't be here.

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm not going to take my kids camping.

81
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that, Trisha.

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: The very least we could do is reward that amazing

83
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: story where you can definitely have one of our golden kettles.

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Woo your life for a kettle, Trish. Amazing story brilliantly

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: told as well. Thank you. Thanks all right, let's go

86
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: to Luke. Good morning, Luke.

00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 7: Morning Christian, Jack and Patsy. How are you?

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're good, Luke. What saved your life? Mate?

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 7: What saved my life was my young blue heel of

90
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 7: dog Rigsey.

91
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. How come.

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 7: Come home late one night from a football function and

93
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 7: decided to try and wake the good lady wife up

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 7: to cook me something. She sort of told me to

95
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 7: go have a sleep on the couch, and then I

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 7: went to the bread basket, grabbed myself a loaf of bread,

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 7: went back and sat back on the couch, fell asleep,

98
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 7: and the bread that I was eating turning to obviously dough,

99
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 7: and my dog was scratching and barking at the door throat. Yeah,

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 7: well I think she would like to. Yeah, the dog

101
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 7: was barking that much. My wife got up and to

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 7: see what was going on and walked in and seen

103
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 7: me laying on the couch.

104
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: Am I doing the world?

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 7: I'm near one hundred percent sure? That's all right? I

106
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 7: think she thought that. And then yeah, she turned the

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 7: light on and I was fucking blue and purple in

108
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 7: the face, and she had heard me sort of going

109
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 7: sort of struggling to breathe there and put her finger

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 7: in her mouth and looked at the dough and I

111
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 7: pretty much started breathing again. And so my dog saved

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 7: my life.

113
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: Don't come back, but the dogs some of this bread dough.

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 7: She's a good woman, I'll give her that. Yeah. The

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 7: boys then a football court club called me captain low.

116
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: I never thought that.

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320

Speaker 3: What saved your life?

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 8: Well, what said my life was fifty kilos of horse

125
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 8: feed landing on my head.

126
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: Right, Well, we've got another rest. What's the story.

127
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 8: Well, what happened is is we have a small stop

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 8: feed business and two bags of amounting to fifty kilos

129
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 8: horse feed came down off the shelf and landed on

130
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 8: my head and knocked me.

131
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: Out, looking at break the spine.

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 8: Well, and that was the thing. So they zoomed me

133
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 8: off to AA to the emergency.

134
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: When it's an injured that you're zoomed off.

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 8: Actually there absolutely, So off I went, and they're doing

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 8: all these scans and and they're doing all these scans,

137
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 8: and they're doing all these scans, and I'm thinking, oh,

138
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 8: what's going on here? All of a sudden, I was

139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 8: the superstar of the minute. So, to make a long

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 8: story short, they found there was nothing wrong with Manette

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 8: coming back, but they did find a cancer on the kidney.

142
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: Wow, So the horse feed saved your life?

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 8: It did? It did because it's one of those kidneys

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 8: where there's one of those cancers where there's no symptoms.

145
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 8: And yes, we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have known

146
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 8: and I wouldn't.

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: Have ended well, right, And so they obviously were able

148
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: to treat it. So what they do do they take

149
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: it out?

150
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 8: Yeah they did. They went in and took it out

151
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 8: and all of that. That wasn't fun. But hey, it's

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 8: all good now.

153
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: That's the trouble with surgery, isn't it. They take the

154
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: fun out fun surgeries.

155
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 8: And a lot of old booths, you know, but talk

156
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 8: about a different way of being a superstar for the day.

157
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Get into it now, lovely all right, Sarah, thank you
