1
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: What's on the cutting room floor today, missus Muntz.

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: We make of this. A couple staged a fake proposal

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: to get free drinks at a restaurant. They staged this

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: and then they put it on X and a lot

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: of people have said, oh, you're stealing. Hope you're proud

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: of what you're doing. Sad commentary. On a lot of

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: levels that people have liked it. I consider that theft

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: other people have said, go for it, and the fact

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: they got married anyway, they weren't a fake couple makes

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: any difference. Someone said, it's ruined it for all of

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: us who are having genuine gestures in restaurants.

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, did they set out to deceive everyone? That's they did.

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: They wanted to get some free drinks. Holidays in Hawaii.

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: Husband gets down on one in front of a full

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: restaurant of people. Happy couple embrace and kiss to cheers

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: from other diners, and free drinks ensue for them, et cetera,

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: et cetera. When I was traveling with Beyond two thousand,

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: we'd be away for eight weeks and we'd have what

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: was called a padem, which you know, a certain amount

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: of money to spend.

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Per day that's what it stands for.

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: Latin sounds for it stands for Latin, no.

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Latin, it's for a certain amount of bundy. That's right.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, not everyone speaks Latin as fluently as I do.

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: Clov artists and status quo, etcetera, and so, and sometimes

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: it would go in your favor. If you were staying

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: in a little African town, you'd save some money. If

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: you're an expensive city like god and Burg, then it

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: was expensive, so you scammed where you could. And occasionally

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: what we do at the end of a trip, if

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: we had some money left over, we'd go to a

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: nice restaurant. And there have been times I have to

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: say where we didn't do it to scam free cake

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: or anything, but you often got free cake. We did

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: it to embarrass, usually the sound recorders by telling the

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: matre d that it was their birthday and a mariachi

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: band would come out, or a person with a guitar,

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: or a cake with a candle in it, and a

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: restaurant all seeing happy birthday, and it would embarrass the

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: hell out of the sound.

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: They'd have to go along with that.

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, but that'd have to go along with it.

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: But what it meant was that the rest of us

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: got free cake should we got to see someone being embarrassed.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: So it's a double win.

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: So I think that's okay. That's for joke purposes. And

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: this couple as well. I think in a way they're

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: going for joke purposes. I don't think it's too bad,

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: it's not too deceptive. How did they get found out

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: that they weren't getting married?

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: Because they said, hey, look what we did to get

52
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: for a drinks. That's how they found out. People are

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: like great spies.

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Hey look all I did the thing.

55
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: If I've learned anything from the internet, if you do something,

56
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: whether it be picking up a small massupiel or doing

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: that best keeper to yourself.

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: Isn't it funny that the picking up of the small

59
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: marsupial united on country in a way that we haven't

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: had for years and years and years. Yeah, exactly, even

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: even tariffs against even though the tariffs at Donald Trump

62
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: is imposed Canada, United Greenland, United Mexico United Peter Dutton

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: went Anthony ALBERNISI, so that still has divided us. You

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: pick up a wombat, you pick up a baby wombat

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: and take away from its mother. We're all on the

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: same side.

67
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: It's a good thing.

68
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 3: I remember a few years ago I was at a

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: surprise birthday party for someone that we used to work with, Dez,

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: and I showed up at this party. I was like

71
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: one of the first people there. And it was at

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: this collegiate club in the collegiate club in the city,

73
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: and it was just me and Dez and that was it.

74
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: He said, it was a surprise party.

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: It was a surprise party. He got there early. That's right,

76
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: it was a surprise party.

77
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: He didn't know it was going to be He got

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: there early direct.

79
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: But everyone was going to show up, right, And he goes,

80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: what are you doing here?

81
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: And I said, what are you doing? Anyway?

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: There was this guy, what are you doing here, Clever Brendan.

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: There was this guy called Finn there as well, but

84
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: he had nothing to do.

85
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: He was just in the bar.

86
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Did he know him?

87
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: No, No, he didn't, I said. And then the ruse

88
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: was up.

89
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: That the surprise party, the fortieth birthday. This was actually

90
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: all these people were coming. Because this is after some

91
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: about forty five minutes. No one else had show. So

92
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: it's me and s Fenn watching The Wizard of Oz

93
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: on TV in the collegiate come.

94
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: So you didn't say, hey, other people were supposed to come,

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: but don't like you.

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: His sister showed up and said there.

97
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Were more people, and did more people arrive?

98
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: Well, this is the thing. Oh, it took more hours

99
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: for people to come along to this thing. And then

100
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: I said, well, there's you got me and s Fenn

101
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: and your sister. Don't feel too bad, and we've got

102
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: the Wizard of Oz. And then as time rolled on,

103
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: people did start the field in and by this state

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: Spenn had ingratiated himself into the party.

105
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: So I started they telling how do you fit into this?

106
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: Fen, and I said, he saved Deser's life in an

107
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: ice fishing accident.

108
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: You know, for me, it's a wonderful life, you know.

109
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: And the kid falls into the Harry Bailey falls into

110
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: the ice. It was like that, and they got all right, anyway,

111
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: I just started that story there. Then more and more

112
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: people come and then there's like about one hundred people there.

113
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: So it turned out to be okay. But the story

114
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: had gone and spread like wildfire.

115
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: That's fed it.

116
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Indeed, saved desert fime drinks.

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Well. I was standing there, Wendy Harmer standing next to spen.

118
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: So I hear that you saved. You saved and an

119
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: ice fishing accident. Anyway, what the ruse was up?

120
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, he just didn't did No One caught it on

121
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

122
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: Did he get free drinks because of it?

123
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Was it a scamp him drinks because they thought he

124
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: was real?

125
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: Lated to upset me about that story is so what

126
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: time would des have had to get there for him

127
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: to be their life?

128
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: He got their way to it.

129
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he would have had to come at midnight

130
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: by the time everyone was.

131
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: There to be there late.

132
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: But it was you know, if you're don't have a

133
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: surprise party, everyone get there on time. A birthday person

134
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: don't get there anywhere early. If you're a guest, get

135
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: there on time.

136
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: That's the whole post rise birthday party a tough.

137
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Remember that time you hope you thought you were having one.

138
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: I was getting one from my my twenty sixth birthday,

139
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: so the year before I don't know talking about a

140
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: surprise birthday party.

141
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: And was the only person who'd ever want one.

142
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: I made mention to my wife, I said, I like

143
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: a surprise birthday pay She said, well, I'll have to.

144
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Organize one for you.

145
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: I was newly married to my wife back then, so

146
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: I knew I thought maybe something might actually happen, but instead,

147
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: and you know me one second, it's a thought in

148
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 3: my mind. And so leading up to that birthday weekend,

149
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: I said I we should do something for my birthday

150
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: and I said, oh, I know, we've got you know,

151
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: we can't do that or hang on.

152
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: And then I rang my mates.

153
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: I said, what are we doing for my birthday? And

154
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: I said, oh, I know, we've got something on. It

155
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: was all incredibly vague, even my parents. I rang my parents,

156
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: what do we my birthdays? This weekend's what's happening?

157
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: What do you guys? Oh, I know we've we've gone anyway,

158
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: how you been?

159
