4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: with hiding, I reckon most of us are hidden from

00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: somebody at some point. Patsy, Patsy, you strike me as

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,520

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 4: Mum and Dad are listening to this.

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: I wagged school once in about.

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: You, the idea of mom and dad still getting you

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: in trouble for I mean, that's why I moved into

13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: another hemisphere so I can not get in trouble anymore.

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 4: I get grounded.

15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: Wagged high school with a girlfriend, went up the street,

16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: up the local drag and had lunch and one of

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: the teachers, Missus Bell, who was our year level coordinator,

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: came into the cave.

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 4: So we had to hide under the table.

20
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: And she didn't see this.

21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: She got she myopic or something. I mean, so of

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: tables aren't solid. I mean your eye sees what's under

23
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: there straight away. No, I mean she'd had cancer as

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 4: old missus olb Mama.

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 5: Bell convinced we're going to get caught out.

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: All right, Just go to the the lines hiding. That's

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: the one word phone and known four one four one

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: O four three Russell, Good morning.

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 5: Bourn Christian and gang. How are you?

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're good, uh Russell, Off you go.

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 5: I'm a tradesman and I traveled to Victoria installing kitchens

32
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 5: and new built homes. I had one right down to

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 5: South Gipsland one day where I used to sleep in.

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: I was sleeping in the job site and I in

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 5: the middle and my car was behind the house, so

36
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 5: the clients wouldn't have known I was there. And in

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 5: the middle of the night they decided to come and

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: have a sneaker around with their torches peering in all

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 5: the windows. So I was, I was four, and I

40
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 5: did they didn't know I was there. Thought if I

41
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 5: can't bursting out or scare the heck out of me,

42
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? So I thought better go

43
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 5: and hide somewhere. So hid in the toilet in my

44
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 5: pajamas for about three quarters from now Wally very swolling

45
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 5: painstakingly looked in every single window of.

46
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: The hell.

47
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: And so I thought, I can't come out in my

48
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: emmy sea shorts, and you.

49
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: Know, the man, you really can't.

50
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 5: So I thought, well, all I can do is waited

51
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: out and actually heard the bloke say, oh, jeezus, a

52
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 5: lot of tools in the house. He must be down

53
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: the pub. And now it wasn't in the pub. I

54
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 5: was standing with the bear stead on the concrete in

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 5: the toilet, hiding, waking to go away. And then the

56
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 5: funny thing was the next day, once they had finally

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: gone home. The next day, I've got a phone call

58
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: from the supervisor asking me if there's any old mattresses

59
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: in their house. I so I had to understand what

60
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: you meant. And what had happened was the clients had

61
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: seen my bed, which is kind of like a decision

62
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 5: that will throw out airbed, you know, Dona. They bring

63
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: the supervisor and they complained that there was a squasering

64
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 5: in their house, the.

65
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 4: Cable guy, the kitchen guy.

66
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: And I thought, last time I checked, not a lot

67
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 5: of squatters run around in storing the kitchens while they're there.

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: No good point. All right, Russell, thank you very much,

69
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: you go now, thank you all right?

Speaker 2: are times in your life we're going to have to

85
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: hide from people. That is the only option. Life lesson

86
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: number one right there, All right, Helen, good morning, good morning.

87
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: How's bells? Who have you hidden from?

88
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, before I tell you who I heed from,

89
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I will tell you I am now a more mature person.

90
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: So so years ago, I had an old FOURD Escort

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: that I needed to sell because I've bought a new car,

92
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: and these guys came around with cash, had to look

93
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: at it, handed it over to me, and took off

94
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: up the road. As soon as they took off, I

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: ran inside, turned the TV off, locked the front door,

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: and hid behind the front door because I knew they'd

97
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: be back because I knew that it was going to

98
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: break down about two hundred yards.

99
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: On the Also, they know where you are. This means

100
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: you're not watching the TV.

101
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: I could have thought that I'd just gone out somewhere

102
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: very quickly.

103
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: The way you say you're mature, completely unrepentant girls of laughter,

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: I know, I.

105
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: Don't know what you're judging.

106
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: Didn't you sell that dodgy you to one of our

107
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: listeners and they brought it back a day or two later?

108
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: But I channel idiot in the loop, Helen.

109
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye, Healen, unrepented, still bringing a lot of joy,

110
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: a lot of fun, just.

111
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: Kind of people out of money, the laughing criminal Michael.

112
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 6: Yes, morning, Christian and crew. How are you? Yes?

113
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: Michael? Who have your head from me?

114
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 6: So about twenty seven years ago, at our engagement party,

115
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 6: we hired a local hall in Dninal and after everybody

116
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 6: had left, we decided to play a little bit of

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 6: adult hide and seek. All was going well until we

118
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: heard the door to the hall rattling.

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: In a village hall, you thought this is a place

120
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: to do that. Well, yeah, engagement emotions running hut.

121
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 6: Thee was pregnant too at the time, so you know

122
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 6: it's got that as well. So we heard his rattling noise.

123
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 6: The wife quickly grabbed up all the clothes and took off,

124
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 6: so obviously we were both naked, at which point I

125
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 6: hid behind the bar standing up. Next thing I know,

126
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 6: there's a security guard that's walked into the hall, so

127
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 6: he can see me. I can see him on topless

128
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 6: of course, and had a little bit of a chat

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 6: and said to him, you know it was supposed to

130
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 6: be at by one. Okay, it wasn't until last that

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: he left. I turned around and saw that I was

132
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: standing behind full mirrors.

133
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: It was some swingers or something to hide out the

134
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: old churchill someone, this is all cleaned up.

135
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: You'll get the deposit back. It's not my business what

136
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: you're doing now.

137
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 6: Was it a church, It was a local whole.

138
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: The scouts will be yeah, one of their badges for that,
