Speaker 4: knee boarding with my family up on the Murray River
Speaker 4: and I'd fallen off the kneeboard and there was another
Speaker 4: boat that was coming straight for me who didn't actually
Speaker 4: see me in the water. So Dad had to speed
Speaker 4: down the river to try and weidg his boat between
Speaker 4: me and the other boat so the boat didn't run
Speaker 4: over me.
Speaker 3: What a hero. That's incredible. And what happened.

Speaker 4: the other boat. He was not happy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an amazing story, Mikayla. Thank you very
Speaker 2: much for giving us a call. Let's go to Sharon now.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Sharon, Good morning, how a you going.
Speaker 5: When I was around about six or seven years old,
Speaker 5: we used to go down to Phillipilond for our holidays
Speaker 5: and there's a beach there called Red Rock and I
Speaker 5: used to have these pair of bathers that Mum used
Speaker 5: to make me wear that had a big frill at
Speaker 5: the back on the bottom, and we used to go
Speaker 5: climbing up there into the rocks, up high on the
Speaker 5: cliffs and there was an opening that I started sliding
Speaker 5: down towards heading off the edge of the cliff, and
Speaker 5: my frill on these papers that I hated got caught
Speaker 5: on the branch and stopped me from falling off the edge.
Speaker 3: This is amazing you literally saved by the frills. I
Speaker 3: was unbelievable.
Speaker 5: Yep. That's my memory of it anyway.
Speaker 3: Not just decorative, no.
Speaker 1: Cure part of the bathing suit.
Speaker 3: Sharon, that is an amazing story.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: Do you know what. It's definitely worthy of one of
Speaker 3: our golden kettles.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that sounds amazing than a one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great story, Sean. Thank you very much
Speaker 2: for sharing it with us today.

Speaker 3: your life? Like Sharon?
Speaker 1: There and the frills the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: The headline says, oh, women executed while vacuuming her artificial lawn.
Speaker 2: Let's lead that to the side. Has her life saved?
Speaker 2: She'said executed, hasn't. I've saved by her Puma rubber sliders.
Speaker 2: So today she wouldn't be here, right, She's not gonna
Speaker 2: be live without those Puma rubber sliders.
Speaker 3: What single thing saved your life? What was it we've
Speaker 3: heard about the frills on a bikini bottom saving whatever
Speaker 3: your lives was incredible, Trish.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a fully
Speaker 6: loaded trailer of camping gear.
Speaker 3: This is great. I've got another rest, Trish, least play
Speaker 3: what happened?
Speaker 6: As windy mountain road going really slowly around the corners,
Speaker 6: single lane, Someone's coming the other way around the blind
Speaker 6: corner really fast. My dad swore the cargoes off the
Speaker 6: side of the mountain. The trailer is weighted with the
Speaker 6: camping gear and keeps us dangling there. O.
Speaker 3: Wow, this is a scene you see the movie, isn't it,
Speaker 3: where they're sort of just hovering on the edge of
Speaker 3: a precipice. How did you get back up.
Speaker 6: Mum and Dad got out, were able to get us
Speaker 6: out really quickly.
Speaker 2: In that situation, it'd be so wide if I get out.
Speaker 2: This is getting lighter and you're in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And a little while later a big old dirty grader
Speaker 6: was coming round and was able to winch the car up.
Speaker 6: But if it wasn't for the trailer with all the
Speaker 6: camping gear and I still hate camping to this day.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't be here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm not going to take my kids camping.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that, Trisha.
Speaker 2: The very least we could do is reward that amazing
Speaker 2: story where you can definitely have one of our golden kettles.
Speaker 3: Woo your life for a kettle, Trish. Amazing story brilliantly
Speaker 3: told as well. Thank you. Thanks all right, let's go
Speaker 3: to Luke. Good morning, Luke.
Speaker 7: Morning Christian, Jack and Patsy. How are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're good, Luke. What saved your life? Mate?
Speaker 7: What saved my life was my young blue heel of
Speaker 7: dog Rigsey.
Speaker 3: Yeah. How come.
Speaker 7: Come home late one night from a football function and
Speaker 7: decided to try and wake the good lady wife up
Speaker 7: to cook me something. She sort of told me to
Speaker 7: go have a sleep on the couch, and then I
Speaker 7: went to the bread basket, grabbed myself a loaf of bread,
Speaker 7: went back and sat back on the couch, fell asleep,
Speaker 7: and the bread that I was eating turning to obviously dough,
Speaker 7: and my dog was scratching and barking at the door throat. Yeah,
Speaker 7: well I think she would like to. Yeah, the dog
Speaker 7: was barking that much. My wife got up and to
Speaker 7: see what was going on and walked in and seen
Speaker 7: me laying on the couch.
Speaker 3: Am I doing the world?
Speaker 7: I'm near one hundred percent sure? That's all right? I
Speaker 7: think she thought that. And then yeah, she turned the
Speaker 7: light on and I was fucking blue and purple in
Speaker 7: the face, and she had heard me sort of going
Speaker 7: sort of struggling to breathe there and put her finger
Speaker 7: in her mouth and looked at the dough and I
Speaker 7: pretty much started breathing again. And so my dog saved
Speaker 7: my life.
Speaker 2: Don't come back, but the dogs some of this bread dough.
Speaker 7: She's a good woman, I'll give her that. Yeah. The
Speaker 7: boys then a football court club called me captain low.
