00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if you guys have

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: been on a plane and you're in that aisle thirteen

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: emergency row. Oh yes, I try to get the exit

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: row for extra Yeah, I thought you might do. Anyway,

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: My wife and I happened to be in that row

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and we're flying up to the Gold Coast last week. Now,

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you the briefing. Right, they sit there and

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: they say, just so you're aware, this is emergency row,

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: extra responsibility. Right. I always make sure I'm listening and

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: taking it in. I even put my hand out just

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't pull that flat, but just to practice. What

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: the so I'm ready to go. No one else doing this,

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: just to give it a warm up. Okay, So I

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: know who and you yank down and push that through

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: and check for fire on the wing. And then I

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: go in my mind though I've got responsibility, and so

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: is everyone else. Now we are working. In my mind,

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: we're working with the crew. It goes pil it me

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: and then underneath me, working underneath me, other stewards, the

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: lady next to me knocking back drinks. I don't think

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: you can be drinking and then suddenly if it really

23
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: you've got to get out that and you've had a

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: couple of Europe. Then she started to doze off and

25
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: started that thing. She was nodding on my shoulder. And

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: you're not taking your responsibility seriously. We can't follow you

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: in an emergency. Now. The other thing, when we were

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: queuing up to get on the plane right at Melbourne Airport,

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: my wife goes Chris, but behind us is Ethan Hawk.

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I went right, listen. Ethan Hawk is an on jip star.

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Even though this is Economy X. He's obviously done very

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: well in Hollywood where he can step up like us. Lowie, Wow,

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: it's like business class but for poor people. I said,

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't need to look around, because Ethan Hawk is

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: not going away on school holidays to what has gone

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: wrong in his life where all of Elor's choices have

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: put him on this flight. Behind us. He could be

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: going to Movie World. You could be filming something at

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. Anyway. You know when Selvin says, don't look

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: a round you automatically, I don't know. It's not Ethan Hawk.

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: It's a knacked old man who happens to have got.

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: That's it. It's not Ethan Hart anyway. We fly back right,

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: So we're up there for a couple of days, and

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: we only in a couple of days because the kids

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: have said, you know, we're really nice still to have

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: a break with yourself. My wife and I just go

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: away together and then we come back on Thursday. The

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: whole reason why we come back thursdays we've had this

49
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: airbnb for our two daughters to come and hang out.

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: I haven't going to have a family long weekend, well,

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: so we thought so obviously were gone for an airbnb

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: that's big enough for four of us because we've got

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: two beloved daughters. We pick up the car at the airport.

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: By the time we arrive at the airbnb, I've had

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: two phone calls and both of my separate daughters they

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: can't make it. My wife and I get there, we

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: don't think that's finny, you know, it's we've raised them right,

58
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: they you know, they don't need to know. We don't

59
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: need to hang out with us. And suddenly we'd had

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: all this meat we've got as well for the family

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: barbecue suddenly cut for Friday night. It's just my wife

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: and I those plates clanking around in a massive empty

63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: cavanice a Titanic doing all these bedrooms, these empty beds,

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: should have been part of the Old Man. This is
