00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: morning on nine four one four one four three. We're

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: the confused stories about having a cheap O parent rio.

29
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 4: My dad is the king of the chief O parents.

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: Back home, we used to have a pool, like a

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 4: completely full, normal backyard pool. Since all the kids have

32
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 4: moved out, he got lazy with it and it's just

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 4: become empty, completely dry pool. He then got a letter

34
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 4: maybe at that last year from the council saying we

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: need to come over and do a routine pool gate inspection.

36
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 4: It's going to come, of course, yeah, to make sure

37
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: you know, obviously, like for safety reasons one hundred and

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: fifty dollars, but you have it's mandatory. And Dad's like, well,

39
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: there's no water in the pool. So he calls up

40
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: the council and says, don't buy the coming over. I'm

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: not paying one hundred and fifty dollars, like the pool's

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: completely empty, and she said, well, if you're not using

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: the pool for anything else, even if it's empty, we

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: still have to come and inspect it you're kidd it,

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: and that goes we are, and we're not. She's oh,

46
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: what are you using it for? And then just off

47
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: the top of his head, he goes, oh, it's a

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: it's a rock garden. Now, he's like a rock garden.

49
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: It's like, so if we came over and just just

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 4: checked it, it was a rock garden and you wouldn't have

51
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 4: to pay the one hundred fifty dollars. He goes, yeah,

52
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: that's fine, come over. So he then spent the next

53
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: like probably ten days scouring, collecting, collecting rocks and just

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: literally like going down to the tip, Like we live

55
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: near a beach. He was pulling back these He's seventy seven.

56
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: What's he going to find at the tip?

57
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: People who've thrown their rocks away.

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: He's got discarded pool like blocks, like tiles that he's

59
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: just like chucked in the bottom of the pool.

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Now it just sounds like he's.

00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: Basically he's got a skip there skip and everyone just.

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,440

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,280
