1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: The bloke going absolutely bananas in the news on the

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Gold Coast, fined for saving a whale.

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, went out there in his dinghy solo cut a

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: whale free from a net.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: His name's Jango, apparently, not the whale. The guy.

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I thought the whales's name was James.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 4: I know that.

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: They say the guy who saved the whale, he's called Jango.

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: And now the reports, yeah, he's been fined because he

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: well he cut the shark net effectively to release the whale.

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: He's getting fined.

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 3: He's been fine fat, which is causing an outrage.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, obviously that's why that's an international story today.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 3: But there's nothing worse.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I was reading this today and I was

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Jess, there's nothing worse than getting in

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: trouble when you haven't done anything wrong.

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: Agreed, Absolutely nothing worse. Woods.

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: When I was thinking about this this morning, I all

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I had this memory that popped into

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: my head. You don't realize this, but you got in

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: trouble for something a very long time ago, and you

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: didn't actually do it.

24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: What was it?

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to tell you up next, but I

26
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: have the actual perpetrator on the phone, who twenty years later,

27
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: this was twenty years ago, is willing to plead their guilt.

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 3: So I've sat with this guilt for twenty years.

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Twenty years, twenty years. You've sat with you result I know,

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I know, I.

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: Have no idea where this thing is.

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is, right me. I'm going

33
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: to get the person on the phone to clear your name. Podcasting,

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Wow Woods, we're talking about the bloke that saved the whale.

35
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: Obviously big global news today and look, I I was

36
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: looking at this and I was thinking, there's nothing worse

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: than getting in trouble when you haven't done anything wrong.

38
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this guy is over the wall, he's getting fined,

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: he tampered with it.

40
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: He's getting a fine, and everyone saying he's done nothing wrong.

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: And I was ge that that's just the worst feeling

42
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: in the world. And as I was thinking about this,

43
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I was sitting on my bed this morning, I was thinking, like, jeez,

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: what's the spin I can take on this? What's an

45
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: angle I've got on this? I remembered that one of

46
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: my friends told me a story a little while ago

47
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: about you, about you, Woodie, about about a time twenty

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: years ago, nearly twenty years ago in primary school, when

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: you got blamed for something that you never did, Yeah,

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I can't and apparently remember this is apparently you got

51
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: absolutely rinsed for it. And this bloke has kept his

52
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: silence for twenty years because he's been embarrassed.

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: What an absolute coward. Yeah, well that made me sit

54
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: on this, to.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Be fair, he only brought it up with me, like

56
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the wee hours of the morning,

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: after having a number of beers, and he finally got

58
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: the courage to bring it up because it's obviously incident.

59
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Something's been sitting on him for such a long time.

60
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Who is a good friend of yours and mine. His

61
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: name is Whitey. We've got him on the phone, Nowney,

Speaker 5: Good a boy, Whitey.

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: So he doesn't know what he's got it now, we've

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: got a bit of a we've got a bit of

66
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: a suspenseful drone here to sort of just set the tone,

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: because I mean there's a lot to be said.

68
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: We do you maybe live with this? I don't even

69
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: know what it is, but.

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 5: You don't even know what you're talking about.

71
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: Well, clearly i've suppressed the memory, but you know it

72
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: impacts me obviously.

73
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna step back in

74
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: and just let him ex fight exactly.

75
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 6: What happened would I've been doing a lot of self

76
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 6: reflection in isolation period over the last couple of months.

77
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 6: And you may or may not remember our year five

78
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 6: and six composite class.

79
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I do remember the composite class. Yeah, I feel

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: like I was in.

81
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: I was the year six, you were the year five,

82
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: which means I think I was a bit slow. So

83
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: I think I was just being brought down and they

84
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: called the.

85
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: Class but more composite class. Yeah, Moore, remember you're best

86
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 5: mate at the time, John O Sprague, lovely fellow. Now,

87
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: you may or may not remember this day that we

88
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: got our first ever email addresses. It was a massive

89
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: thrill for all of us.

90
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 6: They were Aussie male email addresses.

91
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: Now, during the first class we got the email addresses,

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: you got up to go to the toilet. How a

93
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: toilet break. You went out with your partner, and as

94
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: you got up, I thought it would be a pretty

95
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: funny gag to lean over.

96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: Onto your computer and type an email to your best

97
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: mate Johno, and I tied off Woody, I hate you

98
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: and click send.

99
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: I remember this.

100
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: I remember now.

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: What I didn't appreciate at the ripe old age of

102
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: twelve at the time was that everything on the internet's track.

103
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: And of course as soon as I sent the email

104
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 5: with the swear word in it, they were straight onto us.

105
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: And it was like a swat team ran into the

106
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: room and they jumped from the room. Everyone was jumping

107
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: out of trees to try. Yes, it absolutely was, and

108
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: it was all pinned on you, mate, because it had

109
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 5: come from your email account. Your fingerprints were all over it, remember,

110
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: and I vowed on that day to take it to

111
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: the grave.

112
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 4: Every for the next sort of three or four weeks,

113
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: every assembly, all the teachers were asking who was sending

114
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 4: this smutty emails?

115
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: What you were up. You were in a lot of trouble.

116

Speaker 5: You were absolutely denying, and you had no idea how

117
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 5: this could have happened.

118
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: I was in the I was in the crossairs, and

119
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,839

120
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,040
