Speaker 5: for you. And then he's like, well, it's your birthday
Speaker 5: this weekend.
Speaker 4: I'm so old I don't even celebrate anymore.

Speaker 4: That's a great price to stay healthy.
Speaker 2: To say, exactly right, Yeah, good call. Hey, happening tomorrow
Speaker 2: in Melbourne. This is really exciting. I didn't know about this,
Speaker 2: but it's going to have a really really big turnout.
Speaker 2: Ability Fest is happening in Victoria. Incredible event.
Speaker 1: This is one of Dylan Alcott's events, his new project r.
Speaker 2: Yes it is Yeah and all the funds for ability
Speaker 2: Fest go towards the Dylan our Coop Foundation. Ahead of
Speaker 2: the big day, Dylan joins us. Now welcome to pick
Speaker 2: up Dylan.
Speaker 6: Hello Jeday Legend. Hello, semister about time I came on
Speaker 6: this show.
Speaker 4: Hey, we've been trying to get.
Speaker 1: You for a long time. You're always too busy.
Speaker 4: You're a busy popular man.
Speaker 3: You're busy planning these festivals.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're pumped about it. Look, you know this is
Speaker 6: our fourth crackitability first and we absolutely love it. Just
Speaker 6: so people don't know what it is, a festivals like
Speaker 6: any other, like Coachella or Beyond the Valley or whatever.
Speaker 6: We just add some accessibility features so people disability can
Speaker 6: come with an able what he made just have a
Speaker 6: good time, you know, things like platforms and pathways and
Speaker 6: os lene interpreters and a sensory. We're into people that
Speaker 6: are new and diverse. You know, we're trying to think
Speaker 6: of everything and we just love it, We really do.
Speaker 6: And you's on tomorrow and somebody.
Speaker 4: I mean, it just makes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: But did you feel like when you were growing up
Speaker 5: that you missed out on the opportunity to go to
Speaker 5: festivals because of lack of accessibility?
Speaker 6: I did originally, and then I was really like that
Speaker 6: I had really you know, great and strong mates who
Speaker 6: wanted to help me around. But we've been at a
Speaker 6: festival together, right, all of us. And there's this thing
Speaker 6: about festivals. No one cares about you different. Everybody just
Speaker 6: wants to get together and enjoy the music. But there's
Speaker 6: so many people with disability. We're left out of that
Speaker 6: conversation because people think we don't want to go, or
Speaker 6: we can't go, or they don't have accessibility features. And
Speaker 6: we deserve that choice, just like anybody else, to get
Speaker 6: out there and have fun. And we just want to
Speaker 6: set a standard that we hope other events follow us,
Speaker 6: whether entertainment or sports or in this case music. And
Speaker 6: we've got like fill top hoods, make maps, I had
Speaker 6: the great group, so good the.
Speaker 1: Certainly thing you doing, Dylan, because you've also launched a
Speaker 1: disability inclusive job site, the Field. Can you tell us
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's called the Field Got Jobs and we just
Speaker 6: wanted to create a space where people with disability can
Speaker 6: match with inclusive employers online and getting involved in that
Speaker 6: employment exchange. There are four and a half million people
Speaker 6: by the way, with disability in Australia, physical or non
Speaker 6: physical or visible and visible, and only fifty four percent
Speaker 6: involved in the workforce. I'm not saying everybody with disabilities
Speaker 6: can work. Everyone deserves that choice, and we often get
Speaker 6: left out of those traditional job platforms or the traditional
Speaker 6: interview processes. If anybody with disability should get on now
Speaker 6: to crack, or if you have a business and you
Speaker 6: want to employ more preople disability, check it out as well.
Speaker 2: You're a good man. I saw you on the project
Speaker 2: this week. I always love seeing you on the Telly
Speaker 2: and you said something that caught my attention because it
Speaker 2: was an interesting take. So this is this is Dylan
Speaker 2: on the Project earlier in the week. Is your ultimate
Speaker 2: dream that there's no reason for this festival to exist.
Speaker 7: I'd love to be redundant, I really would. And obviously
Speaker 7: the main reason is to raise money for the Delannorco
Speaker 7: Foundation to help young kids with disability to achieve their dreams.
Speaker 7: But we want to set a gold medal standard and
Speaker 7: show other festivals and events what it's like. We are
Speaker 7: just like Beyond the Valley. We are just like Coachellie.
Speaker 7: The only difference is we have added accessibility features. You
Speaker 7: know a lot of them do it already, but some
Speaker 7: more ones like platforms, pathways, Osland on Stage. We just
Speaker 7: want to show that people disability deserve the right to
Speaker 7: go to any event they want, whether it's sport, music, whatever,
Speaker 7: I just enjoy themselves have that choice and control.
Speaker 5: Dylan, most festival organizers that are trying to build on
Speaker 5: a year and year and year, and here you are
Speaker 5: saying that you hope the one year it doesn't even exist.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I'm serious, right, We really want everybody
Speaker 6: to copy us. You know what I mean, because like
Speaker 6: I still go to live events and I can't get in,
Speaker 6: and that's like me, but they might actually know my
Speaker 6: face or my name. Imagine what's up to everybody else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's such a good point, and I just.
Speaker 6: Want everybody to understand the opportunity because we are consumers too.
Speaker 6: But it's good business being accessibile and inclusive. It's also
Speaker 6: the right thing to do.
Speaker 2: Brilliant. They've raised just shire a five hundred thousand bucks
Speaker 2: of the Dylan Olcourt Foundation. Have a search, guys, and
Speaker 2: good luck tomorrow. Have fun. Haven't read for that the
Speaker 2: best time.
Speaker 6: Banks Legends tickets so available, So come together, and I've
Speaker 6: got to say thanks to you always been big supports
Speaker 6: in me and my legendary girlfess Hotel.
Speaker 2: What a man Ability Fest is available tomorrow in Melbournell
Speaker 2: to Boys, Brewis, Hilltop Hoods, Meg Mac Mashton Kutcher. Absolutely
Speaker 2: huge now change of pace. Next at the pickup. Imagine
Speaker 2: losing your wedding ring in the ocean, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: a river, thinking it's done for life, and then almost
Speaker 2: two years later you find it where in the same room.
Speaker 4: I was like, maybe she lost it in the couch
Speaker 4: and thought it was in the river.
Speaker 2: That's a true story and it's it's incredible. We'll get
Speaker 2: you up to speed. Next to the pickup, it's the
Speaker 2: pick up. Friday afternoon on kiss Britt, Laura and Mitch
Speaker 2: here head into chemists warehouse today. Great savings every day.
Speaker 1: All right, this couple out there need to go and
Speaker 1: buy a lottery ticket. This happened in the last week,
Speaker 1: eighteen months ago. There were a couple out on a river,
Speaker 1: local river, having.
Speaker 2: A little fish in Australia.
Speaker 1: In Australia, Yeah, yeah, actually not far from us. But
Speaker 1: the woman had taken off her wedding ring because she
Speaker 1: was putting sun cream all over her body. Right, she
Speaker 1: held it in her mouth to keep it safe, because
Speaker 1: that is obviously the safest place to put it. Put
Speaker 1: the sun cream on it. Slipped out of her mouth,
Speaker 1: bounced off the edge of the boat into the river.
Speaker 1: Now what I want to add to this story is
Speaker 1: this was a century old engagement ring. This is one
Speaker 1: hundred years old, and they've just watched it go into
Speaker 1: the river. So they were frantically trying to look for it.
Speaker 1: Grandma's ring like a beautiful grandma's It was a beautilom
Speaker 1: So they're looking for it everywhere they've got. There, got
Speaker 1: scoopers like Paul Scoopers. They did everything. They've got people
Speaker 1: to help them. Gone like they just had to admit defeat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says here. They arranged three professional search missions.
Speaker 1: Missions because it would be worth a a lot literally
Speaker 1: monetary wise.
Speaker 4: But also and you can't replace that. I mean it's different.
Speaker 5: If you lose the ring that you got from Tiffany's,
Speaker 5: it hurts because it costs a lot, But when it's
Speaker 5: something that's been passed down from your great great grandma, God,
Speaker 5: you feel terrible.
Speaker 3: We'll get this. Somebody just found it. Eighteen months later,
Speaker 3: had heard the story from some fishermen's tails and tracked
Speaker 3: down the couple and gave them back their one hundred
Speaker 3: year old engagement ring that they lost Inner River eighteen month.
Speaker 8: That's so good.
Speaker 2: There was a sea shanty and they heard them singing
Speaker 2: in the ocean of the Lost three like a mermaid.
Speaker 4: But is that not crazy? You would think that you would.
Speaker 1: How has it not even been buried by some sand
Speaker 1: or something?
Speaker 2: So good? Thirteen one I sixty five? What did you
Speaker 2: find after years? I mean I maybe find, like you know,
Speaker 2: in the back of the pantry, a half block of
Speaker 2: Cabri chocolate. I'm celebrating from a muff.
Speaker 1: Did you find some linto in your belly button?
Speaker 2: Grant on thirteen one six five had Grant? What did
Speaker 2: you find after a long time?
Speaker 9: Yes, years ago I found Well, my father actually lost
Speaker 9: a watch over the boat at mooring down in North
Speaker 9: Harbor in Sydney, and the watch was inscribed. It was
Speaker 9: given to him by his second wife. He had lost
Speaker 9: the watch overboard dove afterwards where avid scuba divers and
Speaker 9: gave it to go to find it. Couldn't find it
Speaker 9: on the bottom. Unfortunately, I had an extensive look and
Speaker 9: roaded off that mooring was out at the time. We
Speaker 9: got rid of that mooring in a different boat and
Speaker 9: years later, I would say eight to ten years later,
Speaker 9: we came back to the same mooring. We didn't own it,
Speaker 9: but we decided to hook up to it. My father
Speaker 9: decided to do a bit of work on board. I
Speaker 9: lost the screwdriver overboard, the screwdriver like he dove after
Speaker 9: it to try and catch the screwdriver while free falling.
Speaker 9: He managed to get that it wasn't that deep, and
Speaker 9: when he got close to the bottom catching the screwdriver,
Speaker 9: he saw a watch. The watch, Yeah, and I think
Speaker 9: you get the rest of the story basically the watch, Yeah,
Speaker 9: the same watch. You know, it wasn't working. Yes, the
Speaker 9: battery was dead. Unfortunately, I wasn't working, but they did
Speaker 9: put a new battery in it and it was still working.
Speaker 9: Great advertisement for sports.
Speaker 4: Is unbelievable.
Speaker 5: It's almost like there's some sort of spirit of voodoo
Speaker 5: telling you to go right there in that exact spot
Speaker 5: and the screwdriver.
Speaker 1: A lot of universe in the work set, the chain
Speaker 1: of events.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had the screwdriver there to fix the watch
Speaker 2: if you needed to. It's all sat up perfectly.
Speaker 4: You know that, I've got a watch battery.
Speaker 2: Next on the pick up, Laurie, You've got an ultimatum
Speaker 2: for Britt.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 5: I know, Britt, I know how much you absolutely love
Speaker 5: your dog Delilah.
Speaker 1: No, you can't give her away.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not try She's here to stay. But I
Speaker 5: do have a bit of an ultimatum for you, and
Speaker 5: I'm wondering whether you'll make the right decision.
Speaker 1: Highly likely that I will not.
Speaker 4: Do it on my backside for you.
Speaker 2: That's next. It's the pick up Friday afternoon. Britt, Laura
Speaker 2: and mitch On kiss get ahead of the spread this
Speaker 2: flu season with annual flu vaccinations available at Chemist Warehouse
Speaker 2: only nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 4: All Right, you guys know that I don't love puppies.
Speaker 1: You have had a problem with little Delilah for a while.
Speaker 2: Can't say that's not something that you tell people. I
Speaker 2: didn't realize that was a trait.
Speaker 5: You know, Like it makes me sound like I'm a psychopath.
Speaker 5: But I genuinely don't like puppies. I just think that
Speaker 5: they are so they're so nippy, they piss everywhere, They're
Speaker 5: just get old.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe that's.
Speaker 2: Exactly there's free therapy.
Speaker 5: No, because I have two children, I don't need another
Speaker 5: child to take care of it.
Speaker 4: And I like old dogs.
Speaker 5: I'm all about like just ones that want to have
Speaker 5: a cuddle on the couch. They know when they need
Speaker 5: to go to the toilet, they sit by the door. Reliable,
Speaker 5: just like a Delilah intervention.
Speaker 4: What are you getting that?
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: The reason why I wanted to talk about this is
Speaker 5: because there is a poor woman who has been forced
Speaker 5: into getting a puppy from her husband. She has said
Speaker 5: she didn't want one. Now, this went on for years.
Speaker 5: She was pushing back, saying I don't want a puppy anyway.
Speaker 5: Finally he wore her down. Not only that they get
Speaker 5: a puppy, they got a German shorthad pointer.
Speaker 4: Do you guys know what?
Speaker 6: They like?
Speaker 4: Beautiful, so beautiful, but they need so much exercise. They
Speaker 4: are neurotic.
Speaker 5: So this poor woman she finally caved into getting a dog,
Speaker 5: and she feels like her life has been ruined. This
Speaker 5: dog has absolutely she's it is like she's in a
Speaker 5: living hell. It poos all over the place, It crushes
Speaker 5: her plans, it digs up pots everywhere. There is literally
Speaker 5: urine all over the house. It's toxic and it's killing everything.
Speaker 5: She said, I struggle every single day and I feel
Speaker 5: like I'm being pushed out of my own space. My
Speaker 5: marriage hinges on this dog.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: So she's gotten to the point now where this has
Speaker 5: gone on so far that she is going to give
Speaker 5: her husband an ultimatum. She's gonna ask him it's me
Speaker 5: or the dogs.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, big question.
Speaker 1: That is a huge question.
Speaker 4: What would you do, Britt? Okay?
Speaker 5: If Ben turned around, because Delilah is she's getting better,
Speaker 5: but she's a year and a half now. How many
Speaker 5: things has Delilah eaten of yours? How many designer handbag shoes?
Speaker 2: A lot?
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter to me because my love knows
Speaker 1: no bounce.
Speaker 2: But you walk into your house bread and you smell
Speaker 2: dog hair. You have to brush it off your clothes.
Speaker 2: You can't sit on the couch.
Speaker 4: You're buying a new couch because you can't.
Speaker 5: You've only had your couch for a year and a half,
Speaker 5: but your couch is ruined because of your dog.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's just a hate against DLA and
Speaker 1: get that.
Speaker 2: Laura brings up a good question, would you leave your
Speaker 2: new partner Ben of how long's it been It's only
Speaker 2: been about six months.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 5: If Ben turned around and said, Britt, this is a
Speaker 5: real problem. I can't live like this. Delilah is an
Speaker 5: absolute hazard to everyone and everything.
Speaker 4: What would you do? Would you leave him by Ben
Speaker 4: get rid of?
Speaker 8: Hey?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Delilah would have to win because she's my first
Speaker 1: true laugh.
Speaker 5: Wait, so you would break up with Ben and you
Speaker 5: love Delilah Moore.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm here.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't break up with Ben, but if Ben was
Speaker 1: like Delilah or me, I'd be like, you're gonna live
Speaker 1: a lonely life.
Speaker 2: Buddy. Wow, that's interesting because Life from Scotland. Joining us
Speaker 2: on the line is BRIT's beautiful boyfriend.
Speaker 8: Hi, Ben, Well, Hello Brett?
Speaker 1: Did did she hear that? I?
Speaker 9: Did hear?
Speaker 8: That? Very interesting?
Speaker 9: I have to say, do you really?
Speaker 4: You guys just set me up for failure.
Speaker 5: This just shows where you sit in the pecking order
Speaker 5: of BRIT's life.
Speaker 2: That's what this is, I know.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm on the phone when Britt walks Delilah
Speaker 8: and she throws the tantrum every day she turned visit line.
Speaker 8: She's expensive handbags for her and yet I'm the old
Speaker 8: man out here. So I mean, it's it's a very
Speaker 8: simple question. If the Lila on me was drown and
Speaker 8: who would you say? I mean, I mean, you really
Speaker 8: got to put it to the test.
Speaker 1: Pare I like you think I'm pretty superhuman.
Speaker 2: They're in two separate lanes.
