9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: is an art to this, and most of us have

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: got a story about it, going very badly about getting

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: rid of unwanted gifts? Didn't you what was that gift

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: that you gave to your neighbor? Oh my god, on

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: I is suddenly remember that show. As I know, I

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: worked with someone who did listen to his neighbor, Jack Posch.

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: My son Gordon already had a particular teddy bear called

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: the Riffraff, and the company Riffraff sent him one, and

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: he already had one. My next door neighbor was having

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: a baby at the same time. I thought, perfect the

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: one I got given for free old package up and

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: regift I didn't know at the time, and I put

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: on their doorstep, all wrapped up. I didn't know that.

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: When they unwrapped it and got out of the case,

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: it had Gordon embroidered across the tummy of the Teddy bear.

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: So you rememberhen I just said, there's an art form

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: to this, and they're not. Many of us are very good.

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: I got caught out again a watch, Yeah, stuff we

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: get shut yep. We got sent a cocktail making kit

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: and it got shoved. This is years ago now. It

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: got shoved in a back cupboard somewhere, and when we

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: moved house, I found it again and I gave it

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: to my sister for Christmas, and then she sent me

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: a photo of the expiry date and he expired six

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,399

80
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: podcast Christian Wrong Sizes Morning to Now. I brought new

81
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: work pants. They didn't have my size, so I stupidly

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: decided to get the size down instead of up. Who

83
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: does that?

84
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: Who would go down?

85
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Hold? I couldn't get them up past my knees. Oh,

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: you never go that way. It only goes. You only

87
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: go up the mountain, you go back down the mountain. Joe,

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Good morning, Joe, Good morning. All right, Joe. So let's

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: talk to us about your system of getting rid of

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: unwanted gifts.

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, in my more job, I have a box

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 4: and in that is all I wanted to give, so

93
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: I don't like and on those gifts, I've actually got

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: name tags of the people who gave me, so then

95
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 4: I don't give them back.

96
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: This is a clever system and algorithm that it is

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: very smart. I bet there's people everywhere listening like that's

98
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: how you do it.

99
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: Although I've never had so many I want that I

100
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: have to make a category system.

101
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Joe, thank you very much. You could might

102
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: have a good day.

103
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: All right, thank you.

104
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Morning Emily, Emily, Hello, hello Emiy. You're just transferring us

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: into the car. Your hands free? Yes, I am.

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

107
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: You always hear that sort of work? Can you hear me?

108
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 5: Now?

109
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: Can you hear me?

110
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: Now?

111
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 5: Yes?

112
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: All right, off you go.

113
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: Then.

114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Huh So I climbed the Buckingham Palace fence. Why would

115
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: you do that? I mean, is the fence there to

116
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: keep the royal family, say, from Australians. Why were you

117
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: climbing it? There was like a parade show on and

118
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: I was struggling to see and everyone had already like

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: climbed up one level on the fence, and I was like, oh,

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: I could be smarter than them and climb up the

121
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: next level of the fence, which was probably about head

122
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: height of the people, and set the alarm off inside.

123
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: And the guards came out and told me, Yeah, they're.

124
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Pretty quick, sharpish around there. They're very very trigger happy

125
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: around there.

126
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: Is it the guards with the funny hats on?

127
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it was the beefeatures. I've never seen them do

128
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: any guarding. Its normally just there for photos with the

129
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: bayonet and stuff like that. It's hard to guard with

130
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: that big tool hat on as well. No part of

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: the parade thing that was going on, right, okay, gotcha? Yeah, yeah,

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: that was a long time ago.

133
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: It was starting with twenty years ago.

134
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Emily, thank you very much. You call

138
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,360

00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: You've climbed.

140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: What happened, mate, I was just saying to the young

141
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 5: lady before. It was back in the early nineties, I

142
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: was in the police officer police officer in Q, young trainer,

143
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: he's still young, enthusiastic, want to catch the bad guys

144
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 5: type of thing. So we were chasing after a car

145
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 5: thief one night and he crashed his car, jumped out

146
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: of it and then started scooting through people's houses. So

147
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 5: or we're all out there with bolton after him. We

148
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 5: catch him in the backyard. He runs up to a fence.

149
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: You know, the old wooden fences that are all through

150
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 5: the Q area, the old ones that haven't been re fixed, repair.

151
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: The Q fences.

152
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's one of the reasons you came to.

Speaker 1: IF picket fence and que.

154
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, he looked at the fence and he's bolted

155
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 5: straight at it, over it, like it right. And I've

156
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: looked at the fence and I thought, well, he can

157
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: do that, I can I I've bolted straight to the fence, jumped.

158
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,880
