Speaker 2: we're looking for your stories this week. Anything to do
Speaker 2: with hiding, I reckon most of us are hidden from
Speaker 2: somebody at some point. Patsy, Patsy, you strike me as
Speaker 2: someone that hides.
Speaker 3: Does remind me?
Speaker 2: I wagged.
Speaker 4: Mum and Dad are listening to this.
Speaker 1: I wagged school once in about.
Speaker 2: You, the idea of mom and dad still getting you
Speaker 2: in trouble for I mean, that's why I moved into
Speaker 2: another hemisphere so I can not get in trouble anymore.
Speaker 4: I get grounded.
Speaker 1: Wagged high school with a girlfriend, went up the street,
Speaker 1: up the local drag and had lunch and one of
Speaker 1: the teachers, Missus Bell, who was our year level coordinator,
Speaker 1: came into the cave.
Speaker 4: So we had to hide under the table.
Speaker 1: And she didn't see this.
Speaker 4: She got she myopic or something. I mean, so of
Speaker 4: tables aren't solid. I mean your eye sees what's under
Speaker 4: there straight away. No, I mean she'd had cancer as
Speaker 4: old missus olb Mama.
Speaker 5: Bell convinced we're going to get caught out.
Speaker 2: All right, Just go to the the lines hiding. That's
Speaker 2: the one word phone and known four one four one
Speaker 2: O four three Russell, Good morning.
Speaker 5: Bourn Christian and gang. How are you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're good, uh Russell, Off you go.
Speaker 5: I'm a tradesman and I traveled to Victoria installing kitchens
Speaker 5: and new built homes. I had one right down to
Speaker 5: South Gipsland one day where I used to sleep in.
Speaker 5: I was sleeping in the job site and I in
Speaker 5: the middle and my car was behind the house, so
Speaker 5: the clients wouldn't have known I was there. And in
Speaker 5: the middle of the night they decided to come and
Speaker 5: have a sneaker around with their torches peering in all
Speaker 5: the windows. So I was, I was four, and I
Speaker 5: did they didn't know I was there. Thought if I
Speaker 5: can't bursting out or scare the heck out of me,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? So I thought better go
Speaker 5: and hide somewhere. So hid in the toilet in my
Speaker 5: pajamas for about three quarters from now Wally very swolling
Speaker 5: painstakingly looked in every single window of.
Speaker 1: The hell.
Speaker 5: And so I thought, I can't come out in my
Speaker 5: emmy sea shorts, and you.
Speaker 4: Know, the man, you really can't.
Speaker 5: So I thought, well, all I can do is waited
Speaker 5: out and actually heard the bloke say, oh, jeezus, a
Speaker 5: lot of tools in the house. He must be down
Speaker 5: the pub. And now it wasn't in the pub. I
Speaker 5: was standing with the bear stead on the concrete in
Speaker 5: the toilet, hiding, waking to go away. And then the
Speaker 5: funny thing was the next day, once they had finally
Speaker 5: gone home. The next day, I've got a phone call
Speaker 5: from the supervisor asking me if there's any old mattresses
Speaker 5: in their house. I so I had to understand what
Speaker 5: you meant. And what had happened was the clients had
Speaker 5: seen my bed, which is kind of like a decision
Speaker 5: that will throw out airbed, you know, Dona. They bring
Speaker 5: the supervisor and they complained that there was a squasering
Speaker 5: in their house, the.
Speaker 4: Cable guy, the kitchen guy.
Speaker 5: And I thought, last time I checked, not a lot
Speaker 5: of squatters run around in storing the kitchens while they're there.
Speaker 4: No good point. All right, Russell, thank you very much,
Speaker 4: you go now, thank you all right?
Speaker 1: Well Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Just remembered, actually have you done it recently? The other
Speaker 2: day I was getting out of the car with my
Speaker 2: youngest daughter and I went, oh, my god, I saw someone.
Speaker 2: I can't this would be so awkward we see them.
Speaker 2: I actually got into the back, dived into the back,
Speaker 2: sit the car right, face down right and goes, what
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 4: What are you doing? Don't don't speak to me right,
Speaker 4: just keep you I'm literally speaking.
Speaker 2: To a wife from another adult to pass by, and
Speaker 2: I graw back out. About two minutes later went they've gone. Now, Sean,
Speaker 2: what did you do? And I explained to it was
Speaker 2: she went, oh, no, you did the right things. There
Speaker 2: are times in your life we're going to have to
Speaker 2: hide from people. That is the only option. Life lesson
Speaker 2: number one right there, All right, Helen, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 4: How's bells? Who have you hidden from?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, before I tell you who I heed from,
Speaker 1: I will tell you I am now a more mature person.
Speaker 1: So so years ago, I had an old FOURD Escort
Speaker 1: that I needed to sell because I've bought a new car,
Speaker 1: and these guys came around with cash, had to look
Speaker 1: at it, handed it over to me, and took off
Speaker 1: up the road. As soon as they took off, I
Speaker 1: ran inside, turned the TV off, locked the front door,
Speaker 1: and hid behind the front door because I knew they'd
Speaker 1: be back because I knew that it was going to
Speaker 1: break down about two hundred yards.
Speaker 4: On the Also, they know where you are. This means
Speaker 4: you're not watching the TV.
Speaker 1: I could have thought that I'd just gone out somewhere
Speaker 1: very quickly.
Speaker 2: The way you say you're mature, completely unrepentant girls of laughter,
Speaker 2: I know, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know what you're judging.
Speaker 2: Didn't you sell that dodgy you to one of our
Speaker 2: listeners and they brought it back a day or two later?
Speaker 4: But I channel idiot in the loop, Helen.
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye, Healen, unrepented, still bringing a lot of joy,
Speaker 2: a lot of fun, just.
Speaker 4: Kind of people out of money, the laughing criminal Michael.
Speaker 6: Yes, morning, Christian and crew. How are you? Yes?
Speaker 4: Michael? Who have your head from me?
Speaker 6: So about twenty seven years ago, at our engagement party,
Speaker 6: we hired a local hall in Dninal and after everybody
Speaker 6: had left, we decided to play a little bit of
Speaker 6: adult hide and seek. All was going well until we
Speaker 6: heard the door to the hall rattling.
Speaker 2: In a village hall, you thought this is a place
Speaker 2: to do that. Well, yeah, engagement emotions running hut.
Speaker 6: Thee was pregnant too at the time, so you know
Speaker 6: it's got that as well. So we heard his rattling noise.
Speaker 6: The wife quickly grabbed up all the clothes and took off,
Speaker 6: so obviously we were both naked, at which point I
Speaker 6: hid behind the bar standing up. Next thing I know,
Speaker 6: there's a security guard that's walked into the hall, so
Speaker 6: he can see me. I can see him on topless
Speaker 6: of course, and had a little bit of a chat
Speaker 6: and said to him, you know it was supposed to
Speaker 6: be at by one. Okay, it wasn't until last that
Speaker 6: he left. I turned around and saw that I was
Speaker 6: standing behind full mirrors.
Speaker 2: It was some swingers or something to hide out the
Speaker 2: old churchill someone, this is all cleaned up.
Speaker 4: You'll get the deposit back. It's not my business what
Speaker 4: you're doing now.
Speaker 6: Was it a church, It was a local whole.
Speaker 3: The scouts will be yeah, one of their badges for that,
Speaker 3: all right, Michael, thank you very much, your cool mate.
Speaker 4: Take care, Thank you.
