0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Mikayla, hy good morning. How are you.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, Makayla. So I'm fascinated to hear your story.

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 2>What happened?

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So when I was three years old, I was

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 4>knee boarding with my family up on the Murray River

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 4>and I'd fallen off the kneeboard and there was another

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 4>boat that was coming straight for me who didn't actually

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 4>see me in the water. So Dad had to speed

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 4>down the river to try and weidg his boat between

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 4>me and the other boat so the boat didn't run

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 4>over me.

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>What a hero. That's incredible. And what happened.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 4>So there was no cauitions or anything like that, but

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 4>there was definitely some words had between my dad and

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 4>the other boat. He was not happy.

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is an amazing story, Mikayla. Thank you very

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>much for giving us a call. Let's go to Sharon now.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Sharon, Good morning, how a you going.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 5>When I was around about six or seven years old,

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 5>we used to go down to Phillipilond for our holidays

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 5>and there's a beach there called Red Rock and I

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 5>used to have these pair of bathers that Mum used

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 5>to make me wear that had a big frill at

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 5>the back on the bottom, and we used to go

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 5>climbing up there into the rocks, up high on the

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 5>cliffs and there was an opening that I started sliding

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 5>down towards heading off the edge of the cliff, and

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 5>my frill on these papers that I hated got caught

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 5>on the branch and stopped me from falling off the edge.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>This is amazing you literally saved by the frills. I

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 3>was unbelievable.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Yep. That's my memory of it anyway.

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Not just decorative, no.

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Cure part of the bathing suit.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Sharon, that is an amazing story.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 5>Yep.

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what. It's definitely worthy of one of

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>our golden kettles.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Oh wow, that sounds amazing than a one.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great story, Sean. Thank you very much

<v Speaker 3>your life? Like Sharon?

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>There and the frills the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>The headline says, oh, women executed while vacuuming her artificial lawn.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Let's lead that to the side. Has her life saved?

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>She'said executed, hasn't. I've saved by her Puma rubber sliders.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 2>So today she wouldn't be here, right, She's not gonna

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>be live without those Puma rubber sliders.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 3>What single thing saved your life? What was it we've

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>heard about the frills on a bikini bottom saving whatever

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 3>your lives was incredible, Trish.

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 6>I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a fully

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 6>loaded trailer of camping gear.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 3>This is great. I've got another rest, Trish, least play

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 3>what happened?

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 6>As windy mountain road going really slowly around the corners,

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 6>single lane, Someone's coming the other way around the blind

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 6>corner really fast. My dad swore the cargoes off the

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 6>side of the mountain. The trailer is weighted with the

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 6>camping gear and keeps us dangling there. O.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Wow, this is a scene you see the movie, isn't it,

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>where they're sort of just hovering on the edge of

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>a precipice. How did you get back up.

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 6>Mum and Dad got out, were able to get us

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 6>out really quickly.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 2>In that situation, it'd be so wide if I get out.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>This is getting lighter and you're in there.

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 6>And a little while later a big old dirty grader

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 6>was coming round and was able to winch the car up.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 6>But if it wasn't for the trailer with all the

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 6>camping gear and I still hate camping to this day.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 5>Wouldn't be here.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but I'm not going to take my kids camping.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about that, Trisha.

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 2>The very least we could do is reward that amazing

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 2>story where you can definitely have one of our golden kettles.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Woo your life for a kettle, Trish. Amazing story brilliantly

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 3>told as well. Thank you. Thanks all right, let's go

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 3>to Luke. Good morning, Luke.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 7>Morning Christian, Jack and Patsy. How are you?

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're good, Luke. What saved your life? Mate?

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 7>What saved my life was my young blue heel of

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:22.799
<v Speaker 7>dog Rigsey.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. How come.

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 7>Come home late one night from a football function and

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 7>decided to try and wake the good lady wife up

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 7>to cook me something. She sort of told me to

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 7>go have a sleep on the couch, and then I

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 7>went to the bread basket, grabbed myself a loaf of bread,

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 7>went back and sat back on the couch, fell asleep,

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 7>and the bread that I was eating turning to obviously dough,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 7>and my dog was scratching and barking at the door throat. Yeah,

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 7>well I think she would like to. Yeah, the dog

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 7>was barking that much. My wife got up and to

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 7>see what was going on and walked in and seen

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 7>me laying on the couch.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Am I doing the world?

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 7>I'm near one hundred percent sure? That's all right? I

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 7>think she thought that. And then yeah, she turned the

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 7>light on and I was fucking blue and purple in

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 7>the face, and she had heard me sort of going

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 7>sort of struggling to breathe there and put her finger

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 7>in her mouth and looked at the dough and I

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.119
<v Speaker 7>pretty much started breathing again. And so my dog saved

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 7>my life.

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Don't come back, but the dogs some of this bread dough.

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 7>She's a good woman, I'll give her that. Yeah. The

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 7>boys then a football court club called me captain low.

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:57.880

<v Speaker 3>What saved your life?

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 8>Well, what said my life was fifty kilos of horse

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 8>feed landing on my head.

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Right, Well, we've got another rest. What's the story.

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 8>Well, what happened is is we have a small stop

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 8>feed business and two bags of amounting to fifty kilos

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 8>horse feed came down off the shelf and landed on

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 8>my head and knocked me.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 3>Out, looking at break the spine.

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, and that was the thing. So they zoomed me

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 8>off to AA to the emergency.

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 3>When it's an injured that you're zoomed off.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 8>Actually there absolutely, So off I went, and they're doing

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 8>all these scans and and they're doing all these scans,

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 8>and they're doing all these scans, and I'm thinking, oh,

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 8>what's going on here? All of a sudden, I was

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 8>the superstar of the minute. So, to make a long

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 8>story short, they found there was nothing wrong with Manette

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 8>coming back, but they did find a cancer on the kidney.

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, So the horse feed saved your life?

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 8>It did? It did because it's one of those kidneys

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 8>where there's one of those cancers where there's no symptoms.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 8>And yes, we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have known

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 8>and I wouldn't.

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Have ended well, right, And so they obviously were able

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 3>to treat it. So what they do do they take

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 3>it out?

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah they did. They went in and took it out

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 8>and all of that. That wasn't fun. But hey, it's

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 8>all good now.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 3>That's the trouble with surgery, isn't it. They take the

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 3>fun out fun surgeries.

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.960
