Speaker 2: we're anxiously grinding our teeth. How bad is modern life?
Speaker 4: Bank used to wake up in the night hear me
Speaker 4: and grab onto my jaw as an indication for me

Speaker 10: Oh it's just lovely, really lovely area where just eight
Speaker 10: hundred meters from Kryod. It's just around the corner. So

Speaker 10: I can fish today, guys. Time goes the bat gets
Speaker 10: the bat and if he goes it.

Speaker 2: Sub transfers And when you say you're opening a day surgery,
Speaker 2: give yourself a blugs. You said it's opening in July.
Speaker 10: Yes, so it's a Geelong day surgery opening in nor
Speaker 10: Lane mid July hopefully, if everything's on track, we'll have
Speaker 10: a couple of operating theaters specializing in dental and endoscopy
Speaker 10: and minor day surgery. It's owned by a lovely couple

Speaker 2: That's such a lovely thing to hear. Do you know what,
Speaker 2: any you've got one of these people that would add
Speaker 2: value and joy to whoever you're working for. So I've
Speaker 2: got no doubt it'd be huge success. Because just you're
Speaker 2: just one of these big, friendly, open hearted people. No
Speaker 2: wonder people are dropping off organic tomatoes and honey straight
Speaker 2: out the high for you if you just moved into
Speaker 2: the street.

Speaker 10: Five year old chocolate Labrador. It's dark yep and two
Speaker 10: and a half year old.

Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast we.
Speaker 2: Love hearing your stories every morning on the show and
Speaker 2: you call in. You can also email the show. We
Speaker 2: love those as well. We call it late to the
Speaker 2: party late a first. Today, anyone can share a story
Speaker 2: and you can all interpret it many different ways. This
Speaker 2: guy thinks he's sharing a story here of incredible, barely
Speaker 2: believable coincidence. I read it and it's almost like someone's
Speaker 2: been stalking me on my recent trip to Ireland. You
Speaker 2: decide it comes from beautiful Irish name person Neil O
Speaker 2: Tall Christian the team. Just a funny story for you
Speaker 2: or maybe not. I'll let you guys decide. I'm a
Speaker 2: twenty seven year old irishman living in Albano for five years.
Speaker 2: Been listening to you guys for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: On my daily commute to work. I heard you talking
Speaker 2: Reese about how you're going to see the Boss Springsteen
Speaker 2: and Dublin. Myself and my girlfriend were flying to Island
Speaker 2: around the same time for my girlfriend's sister's wedding. Rull
Speaker 2: up to Speedia. On Thursday morning, fourth of May, we
Speaker 2: were browsing duty free at Melbourne Airport waiting to board
Speaker 2: our flight. I spot you in duty free. I was
Speaker 2: going to wish you good luck for your trip. This
Speaker 2: is where it begins to your trip to Island. I
Speaker 2: thought the better of it. See it was just four
Speaker 2: am in the morning and maybe it's a bit rude.
Speaker 2: Next I see you at the baggage carousel the other
Speaker 2: end of the trip Dublin Airport, No surprise again, but
Speaker 2: I left you alone because you've just been trappling for
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. The following week, myself, my brother and
Speaker 2: my parents headed for the Cliffs of Moa. This is
Speaker 2: a beautiful lay, so I was also there, but it's
Speaker 2: the other side of Ireland, Dublin up on the east coast.
Speaker 2: I am three four hours away, the other side of Ireland,
Speaker 2: West of Ireland, so he's going to see the Cliffs
Speaker 2: of Moha, Island's number one tourist attraction. We decided to
Speaker 2: stay in a small village about half an hour from
Speaker 2: the cliffs called bally Vaughan. This is where I was
Speaker 2: popular population left than two hundred. We stopped an old pub,
Speaker 2: O Lachlan's after dinner for a pint before going back
Speaker 2: to a B and B. As I was looking for
Speaker 2: a seat to sit down, I turned the corner and
Speaker 2: in a very small snug is you and a few
Speaker 2: other people sitting down drinking pints of guinness. In shock,
Speaker 2: I stare too long and then walk out of the
Speaker 2: bar to another pub down the road. It's all getting
Speaker 2: too much. I tell my parents I've seen him. They
Speaker 2: can't believe it and said, well did you say Hello,
Speaker 2: he's here in bally Vaughan, population at two hundred. I
Speaker 2: said no, I couldn't. I couldn't do it to myself,
Speaker 2: but I told myself I'm bound to see him again.
Speaker 2: However I didn't for the rest of the trip. That
Speaker 2: comes from Neil. This is nuts. I was in that
Speaker 2: pub every single night. It's a tiny little pub in
Speaker 2: a tiny village.
Speaker 4: I thought that there was almost gonna be a third
Speaker 4: one where he said. I left that pub, walked to
Speaker 4: another pub and there was Christian again, having another guineas.
Speaker 2: He's following me or am I following him? Neil, you
Speaker 2: should have said hello, what are the chances of that?
Speaker 2: And then this is an email I get occasionally where
Speaker 2: it ends with someone's name and I'm under that they
Speaker 2: go I prefer to remain anonymous. I actually think it
Speaker 2: make a great thing we did on the show where
Speaker 2: we offer this as a service way. If you've got
Speaker 2: that story where you certainly wouldn't call up, you know,
Speaker 2: on other people in the office. Even if we change
Speaker 2: your name, people would know it's your voice. But you've
Speaker 2: got a story like this where you're just about to
Speaker 2: share it and you never get the chance to don't
Speaker 2: actually keep that story in you share it with us.
Speaker 2: We're opening up a new side service now called I
Speaker 2: Prefer to Remain anonymous. Let's go to this guy. He's
Speaker 2: obviously listening to a show yesterday. We'll be taking your
Speaker 2: stories about what got stuck. Many years ago, Christian, when
Speaker 2: I was in my teens, before the Internet and YouTube,
Speaker 2: a friend of mine managed to get hold of a
Speaker 2: slightly erotic movie on Betamax cassette. We had a Betamax
Speaker 2: play at my house and decided to arrange a viewing
Speaker 2: when my parents were out in that part. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that was a group activity with the lads. That's
Speaker 2: a very personal experience. AnyWho, We're all different. Whatever floats
Speaker 2: your boats. At that time, the Beatmax plan did not
Speaker 2: have her remote was crawled by control by buttons on
Speaker 2: the player. We decided that I would sit on the
Speaker 2: floor with my foot ready to push the stop button
Speaker 2: if someone arrived in our house. Memo mates, one more,
Speaker 2: there's seven of you. Wow, We memor mats settled in
Speaker 2: sus that you're watching a movie together around yes As
Speaker 2: the really steamy bits came on, my mother walked into
Speaker 2: the house as playing my foot shot forward to push
Speaker 2: the off bun, but unfortunately missed the particularly small bile,
Speaker 2: and in my eagerness and panic, also kicked the player
Speaker 2: back into the cabinet, now outside my reach, with the
Speaker 2: clear sound of heavy breathing coming out from the TPS.
Speaker 2: My mum looked in on us all and asked, what
Speaker 2: are you watching?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 2: Only pat is that if you're that's not rocky. At
Speaker 2: this stage, full panic setting and all of us rop
Speaker 2: on our feet trying to get in front of the
Speaker 2: TV to present some kind of human shield to block out. Eventually,
Speaker 2: I thought the only option was to let rip the
Speaker 2: power point of our socket out of the water turn
Speaker 2: everything off. We tried coming up with all kinds of excuses,
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure Mum knew she saw it. She
Speaker 2: just smiled. I walked away, probably one of my embarrassing
Speaker 2: moments and something that never ever got spoken about again. Christian,
Speaker 2: it's thirty years on. I am still too embarrassed to
Speaker 2: call or add my name. I prefer to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2: Well anonymous. Thank you very much for that story and
Speaker 2: sharing it. Don't be don't hide these stories like this.
Speaker 2: This is an amazing story. Thank god you actually anonymous
Speaker 2: you did share it with us. If you have a
Speaker 2: story and you want to be anonymous, please email me. Okay,
Speaker 2: just put in the top line. I don't need you
Speaker 2: know anything. I prefer to remain anonymous and share your story.
Speaker 2: Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au and Neil Stalking.
Speaker 1: With Well Christian no connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Every day on the show you could be winning one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in cash thanks to Messennis Ben's bear it
Speaker 2: for our caller of the week this morning. Then wereroping
Speaker 2: up the lines. Now not one, but two ways you
Speaker 2: can jump on board and be part of the show
Speaker 2: with us today on nine four one four one O
Speaker 2: four three. If you've ever been in this situation where
Speaker 2: you've actually got no other choice but to actually ask
Speaker 2: for help out loud, yeah, what happens is it gradually
Speaker 2: gets louder and more desperate, so you just sort of
Speaker 2: sort of help and then you realize it's not loud enough.
Speaker 2: You're I'm going to have to cause a scene here.
Speaker 2: It's that public shame, isn't it. I don't have any
Speaker 2: other option now but to yell for help. The reason
Speaker 2: why I'm asking this we've got this great story. Yesterday
Speaker 2: I couldn't.
Speaker 11: Turn off the treadmill at the gym. I was running
Speaker 11: faster and faster, and you know, you just keep thinking, oh,
Speaker 11: I can cope with this, and you keep pushing the faster, faster,
Speaker 11: faster button. While I was going that fast, I was
Speaker 11: about to spit off the back of it. And I
Speaker 11: didn't seem to like stop and jump my legs out.
Speaker 8: All I could do was go, help give me, ex
Speaker 8: give me, give me all right?
Speaker 2: So why did you have to cry out for halp
Speaker 2: on nine four one one oh four to three and
Speaker 2: the other one this morning? Then you didn't notice or
Speaker 2: see or read the sign.
Speaker 11: I put a croissant through the hotel conveyor belt and
Speaker 11: I could not turn the conveyor.
Speaker 9: Belt off, and the croissant court file.
Speaker 10: Everybody was looking.
Speaker 9: After the fact, I did see the sign that said
Speaker 9: please do not put croissants and pastries through the toaster.
Speaker 2: It's always after the fat. You see all the signs,
Speaker 2: that's what that is from my phone or the toaster
Speaker 2: convey a belt waiting for my cossign, Patsy. You didn't
Speaker 2: see the sign once?
Speaker 3: No, we went up to up North beautiful, beautiful country
Speaker 3: through the Dane Tree up to Cape Tribulation.
Speaker 2: Beauty.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's stunnying it. It's like the road ends there
Speaker 3: to Australia. It's like track then up to the tip.
Speaker 3: But on the coast they're beautiful white sandy beach. But
Speaker 3: of course there's saltwater crocodiles everywhere everywhere, and also Port Douglas.
Speaker 3: You know there's those signs in German, so I don't
Speaker 3: know why is it only in German you're actung warning
Speaker 3: do not get in the water and swim. So anyway,
Speaker 3: we came onto the beach and there's these two young
Speaker 3: girls up to their shoulders I don't know, out in
Speaker 3: the water. But then sort of down further on the
Speaker 3: beach you could see a big fat croc sunning itself on.
Speaker 2: A rock behind his big old croc head.
Speaker 3: It was like a smakeast boarding.
Speaker 2: Half an hour. It's a beautiful day up there.
Speaker 3: So all the tourists including us, were standing on the
Speaker 3: beach like someone needs to go and tell them, like
Speaker 3: call out to them to come in. Anyway, the ranger
Speaker 3: came along and got them out of the water, but
Speaker 3: it was in German. If they were English, and they
Speaker 3: couldn't like you could. It's got like a big crocodile.
Speaker 2: It's not in several languages you get to as small
Speaker 2: over the world there. It's bizarre, all right.
Speaker 4: The ones I've seen up in Queensland would definitely had
Speaker 4: an English version as well.
Speaker 3: No, this was just German and she didn't see it.
Speaker 4: It is strange.
Speaker 2: I'm more likely to I'm hearing with you on this
Speaker 2: one chat when we were up there right some because
Speaker 2: you're right, it's beautiful up there right, which are some
Speaker 2: cruil places, and we went on one of those touristy
Speaker 2: boat tours. Go and see the crocodiles. When you see them,
Speaker 2: even though it must have been like you one hundred
Speaker 2: meters away in the riverbank, it does something like that
Speaker 2: to a primal limbit, part of your brain, your hair,
Speaker 2: there's an ancient part of your nose. That thing would
Speaker 2: eat me in a heartbeat. And it had just one
Speaker 2: eye looking at all us well fed tourists, just one
Speaker 2: eye going one just to take one of you anyway.
Speaker 2: The tour guy goes, they are the alpha pardator at
Speaker 2: the top of the apex, most deadly hunting as only
Speaker 2: I don't know this only need to kill once a year, really,
Speaker 2: once a year, that's what I do. And then he
Speaker 2: said to me, I always when this time, and he
Speaker 2: goes out, of all the killers in nature, crocodiles are
Speaker 2: the most opportunistic dead. He thought that.
Speaker 4: Slightly shift to the middle of the boat, away from
Speaker 4: the edges.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Christian o'connells Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Why did you have to cry out for help? And
Speaker 2: you didn't see the sign? You didn't read the sign?
Speaker 2: Coome on and Karen, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 12: Hi, Hey guys, Christian, Jack and Pats.
Speaker 2: And why did you have to cry it for help? Karen?
Speaker 16: Oh, well, this was a.
Speaker 12: Fears back in my early twenties. I just started riding
Speaker 12: a motorbike and we lived in a canhouse complex and
Speaker 12: I'd ridden the bike home and managed to squeeze it
Speaker 12: in next to the car and the wall of the garage.
Speaker 12: And I'm not a big girl, a little over five foot,
Speaker 12: not much Tommy, and I don't know if you've sat
Speaker 12: on a motorbike, but those things are quite heavy. And
Speaker 12: it tipped a little bit too far to the right
Speaker 12: and caught me, pinned me up against the wall of
Speaker 12: the garage and I couldn't move it.
Speaker 8: It was too heavy.
Speaker 12: I was stuck there for maybe about ten minutes, calling out.
Speaker 12: Thankfully my partner was home. He was at the back
Speaker 12: of that unit, but I was well and truly stuck
Speaker 12: behind the motorbike with my leg pinned.
Speaker 8: I could not could not get out. It was too heavy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is when you've got there's no other viable
Speaker 2: option other than to call out and cry out for help.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 12: It was back before everybody had a phone in their pocket,
Speaker 12: so I wasn't about to be able to ring anybody,
Speaker 12: and being off the street certainly wasn't going to be
Speaker 12: anybody walking past. If he hadn't been.
Speaker 9: Home, I would have been there until I don't know
Speaker 9: he got home from work.
Speaker 11: I suppose.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's awful. Just the embarrassment as well.
Speaker 2: And what was his reaction when he saw you laughter?
Speaker 3: Oh he thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 2: Karen, Thank you very much.
Speaker 12: I love riding the bike, but those things are heavy
Speaker 12: and they get away and you pretty quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially be a penned like that one. Karen, thank
Speaker 2: you very much, Evil Canegal for your call.
Speaker 4: Have a great day, guys.
Speaker 2: Let's get to Maria. Now, good morning Maria, Good morning,
Speaker 2: christ here you going. I'm good Maria. So what happened
Speaker 2: to you? What's your story? Crying out for having?
Speaker 10: Okay? About ten years ago? It was a bit of
Speaker 10: a chunky woman and took myself on a holiday to
Speaker 10: Bali and I was going on to do a.
Speaker 9: Parastyling and the guys were holding up these flapper things.
Speaker 10: One's green, one's red, and they're telling me, you know that,
Speaker 10: when you see the green, you run, And.
Speaker 9: Well I didn't.
Speaker 10: I ran when it was red, and I was dragged
Speaker 10: along the beam.

Speaker 4: And what happened to you?
Speaker 2: Mate?
Speaker 7: I didn't read the signed in German A bit like
Speaker 7: Patsy's story. We were young kids, teenagers went on a
Speaker 7: school trip to Germany. And this is before the wall
Speaker 7: went down, so East Germany was on the on the books,
Speaker 7: and we visited three cities and when we were in
Speaker 7: weine Mar, one of my matess decided to bring a
Speaker 7: footy on the trip, as you do, being an Ossie kid,
Speaker 7: and we went around kicking the football in a park
Speaker 7: and didn't read that you weren't allowed to play games there,
Speaker 7: and that led to four police cars, dogs and the
Speaker 7: cops over there have machine guns and let's just say
Speaker 7: we weren't playing for you.
Speaker 2: Very well ahead, police happy there, Well, they do like
Speaker 2: machine gun and the shriff.
Speaker 7: We were likely to walk away with a football and
Speaker 7: lucky our teacher wasn't too far to explain that we
Speaker 7: went very good at German obviously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a terrifying story.
Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, let's just say put it down for on
Speaker 7: the rest.
Speaker 15: Of the day.
Speaker 13: But thankfully, but what a school trip, right exactly.
Speaker 7: You got stories from it.

Speaker 2: Oh pleasure, thank you very much, a great story. Nine
Speaker 2: four one four one o four three. Why did you
Speaker 2: have to cry it for help? And you didn't see
Speaker 2: the signs?
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian O Carl's Show podcast.
Speaker 2: You're on farm this morning. Amazing stories about why you
Speaker 2: have to cry out for help and also when you
Speaker 2: didn't see or read the signs. Since early on this morning,
Speaker 2: it feels like there's a theme also underneath, and some
Speaker 2: sort of shows are like this where there's like another
Speaker 2: thing happening underneath it. Germany keeps coming up. We feel that.
Speaker 2: Not not intentional, but it just feels like it's a
Speaker 2: running mate on today's show. It's the good old country
Speaker 2: of Germany. Let's go to Fiona here. Good morning, Fiona,
Speaker 2: morning Christian. All right, Fiona, so you didn't read the sign?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I didn't read the sign In Germany, I was backpacking.
Speaker 9: I was about twenty years old, and I went to
Speaker 9: the Science Museum in Berlin. I'm a scientist now. I've
Speaker 9: always just loved signce wow. And they had exhibits there,
Speaker 9: little models and figures and moving parts and leavers and buttons,
Speaker 9: and there was a big sign sort of you know,
Speaker 9: up tool attentions. Don't touch the displays, please do not
Speaker 9: touch the exhibits. But it was so interesting and I
Speaker 9: just I just had to I just had to touch,
Speaker 9: and I got such an electric shock that electrified the
Speaker 9: whole exhibit, though the kids and people like me didn't touch,
Speaker 9: and it blew my arm back, took my breath away.
Speaker 9: And then all the guards came and they just snaked.
Speaker 9: They didn't say anything to me, They just snacked.
Speaker 2: The foreigners the electrics. Germans love it.
Speaker 9: They did.
Speaker 4: So every exhibit had an electric current running through it.
Speaker 2: That is incredible. And still, despite that curiosity being electrocuted,
Speaker 2: you still then go on to actually dedicate your life
Speaker 2: in science as a scientist. Yes, yes, the rest of
Speaker 2: us would have gone, I want no more that the
Speaker 2: science world scares me. You actually went towards the danger.
Speaker 2: That's incredible.
Speaker 9: Fon I did, I did, and I'll do it again.
Speaker 9: It was fascinating you touched.
Speaker 4: The exhibit again. Or you'd become a scientist.
Speaker 9: Oh, I've become a scientist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what area of science do you work in? Now?
Speaker 9: Then I worker so hebatology all about blood?
Speaker 2: Awesome? Well, thank you for what you do, Fondor, thanks
Speaker 2: for sharing your short story. We love that. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Have a great day and you Belinda.
Speaker 12: Good morning, Good morning, Christian, how are you.
Speaker 2: I'm good, Belinda? Now Why were you crying out for help?
Speaker 2: What happened? Belinda?
Speaker 8: So I had a saw back, and.
Speaker 12: A colleague of mine had suggested going home and having
Speaker 12: an EPSM soul bath, so I did. Had the bath
Speaker 12: was just relaxing. It had gone cold.
Speaker 8: I'd let the water out that I stayed in the.
Speaker 12: Bath, and the combination of letting out the water, me
Speaker 12: drying and the salt and I became stuck to the bath.
Speaker 11: It created a suction like.
Speaker 2: A kind of barnicle, human barnacle.
Speaker 17: So flapping around like a beach wale. Called out to
Speaker 17: my husband help and.
Speaker 8: He just came and put their laughs at me.
Speaker 4: Why who lets have the water? And stayed I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I'm out of there before the water. It's seriously because
Speaker 2: it's freezing. It's horrimonial, damp and cold real quickly.
Speaker 17: Oh my back was poor and I never claimed to
Speaker 17: be normal anyway.
Speaker 9: So it's fine.
Speaker 4: And so when did he have to pull you? To
Speaker 4: pull you up?
Speaker 2: What did he have to do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 11: He just stood there, laughed and walked off, and then
Speaker 11: I called out to him and I said, I really
Speaker 11: do need your help, and he came back and just
Speaker 11: stood there and kept laughing at me. So I'm like
Speaker 11: laughing around and.
Speaker 2: You're still You're still there. Now become blind of the
Speaker 2: bar like a local attraction. Merlady.
Speaker 10: I ended, not managing to get myself onto my side

Speaker 2: Really really funny stories this morning. Thank you so much
Speaker 2: for sharing them, stories about when you had to cry
Speaker 2: out for help and also you didn't notice or read
Speaker 2: the sign. And it does feel like that there is
Speaker 2: a private phone in going at the moment about stories
Speaker 2: to do with Germany, and the show is all the
Speaker 2: better for that. So much as Germany keep coming up
Speaker 2: and every other call we're thinking about maybe every two
Speaker 2: weeks we just spin a wheel whatever country of the
Speaker 2: world it lands on to see what are the countries
Speaker 2: can give us as many stories that Germany has for
Speaker 2: some reason today, will it only ever be Germany's feature?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 13: Leanne, good morning, Good morning, how are you, Christian.
Speaker 2: I'm Goodlee, and welcome to the show. So you didn't
Speaker 2: read the sign.
Speaker 8: Yes, we went on a trip to Malta and heard
Speaker 8: about this beautiful secluded beach and thought, oh, we'll go
Speaker 8: and check it out. So have you and I drive

Speaker 2: have a good day.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Peter.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Peter, Yeah, good morning, guys. How are you man?
Speaker 2: We're good. You didn't read the sign? What happened Pete?
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't really read the sign very well. We
Speaker 6: were in France and my daughter and I and staying
Speaker 6: in an apartment and had a lift in it, which
Speaker 6: was a fairly small one. This day, she thought I'll
Speaker 6: take the lift because we've been news in the stairs.
Speaker 6: And she got in and then I thought I'll jump
Speaker 6: in too, and I noticed that the lift said three adults,
Speaker 6: so we got in there. But the part I didn't
Speaker 6: really was it said two hundred kilo limit and I'm
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty. I was one hundred and sixty
Speaker 6: kilos and six foot four, and combined we were over
Speaker 6: the weight limit. So the door was locked behind us,
Speaker 6: and I thought, oh, no problem, and we're over there,
Speaker 6: over the limit. I'll get out. But yeah, it didn't
Speaker 6: work that way.
Speaker 2: The door said no, you made your choice. Mate there
Speaker 2: for a.
Speaker 6: While and we couldn't. We couldn't move, we couldn't actually
Speaker 6: turn around. I had a backpack on, and she went
Speaker 6: on and I couldn't turn. She couldn't do it, so
Speaker 6: she was facing the wall and I was stuck behind her.
Speaker 6: And what we were there for twenty five minutes and
Speaker 6: hoping someone would come along and enough.
Speaker 2: To kick panic attacks. Sounds a nightmare for you both.
Speaker 6: Well, I was more concerned because I needed to pee,
Speaker 6: so I was getting desperate. So anyway, I thought it
Speaker 6: was funny at the start. My daughter was panicking, and
Speaker 6: so of course you blamed me. Oh god, good dad,
Speaker 6: you read the sign.
Speaker 2: This is like a two person plane, isn't it. A
Speaker 2: door turned her down in a really confined space. Y.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was very embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Pete, thank you very much your story mate.
Speaker 6: No worried.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Squeeze, thank you, they squeeze Katie and before
Speaker 2: the Patsy's news. Morning Katie, Good morning Christian.

Speaker 2: water drain out of a magnesium salt bath and got

Speaker 17: I was waxing a more intimate area and put it
Speaker 17: would be easier to do it on the tile floor.
Speaker 17: Was seeing there, trying to brace myself to work up
Speaker 17: the courage to rip the wax.
Speaker 16: Away, and clearly left it too long and it's solidified
Speaker 16: and stuck.
Speaker 5: Me to the floor.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be rude or anything, but are
Speaker 2: you facing up or are you?
Speaker 17: Thankfully I was facing out.
