Speaker 4: You'll love this. So yesterday, the last two days we've
Speaker 4: had no Wi Fi in the house, and when you've
Speaker 4: got teenagers and even as adults, it's like there's been
Speaker 4: no oxygen. Okay, because they could even watch anything. Did
Speaker 4: you go, well, you just have to watch something that
Speaker 4: we've downloaded.
Speaker 3: Or or heaven forbid, free to air television.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, they doesn't show someone free to wear. They
Speaker 4: don't watch free to air. So anyway, we've had no
Speaker 4: Wi Fi and it's been a nightmare. And so I
Speaker 4: don't know in your house, So you the head of it.
Speaker 4: My wife seems to think that I know so much
Speaker 4: about it. So we have a guy that sometimes we
Speaker 4: get out to help with it. Promise right, he's called David.
Speaker 4: I was panicking yesterday. I wasn't getting anywhere. We're calling
Speaker 4: the helpline for my TV and internet provider. I won't
Speaker 4: name them though.
Speaker 3: They were just used calling anyone these days. Just don't
Speaker 3: do it. I would rather just start a whole new
Speaker 3: like go to a whole new internet provider than calling.
Speaker 4: So Sunday it was an hour talking this person, right,
Speaker 4: and they said we're going to monitor your WiFi for
Speaker 4: the next I said that it doesn't work. She said,
Speaker 4: we can't send you a new modem between monitor everything
Speaker 4: for the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I called again yesterday to speak to someone. They went, oh,
Speaker 4: that person spoke to They close your case file, said
Speaker 4: there was no problem. I was like, I wasted an
Speaker 4: hour yesterday. So anyway, I call this David guy, leave
Speaker 4: him a voicemail gut naming the problem, and I was
Speaker 4: just like droning on. I was like, of course, sons,
Speaker 4: so they've been shiit, they're rubbish. I can't do this.
Speaker 4: We can't do that when the kids is off six
Speaker 4: she needs to get on zoom. It's really important. So anyway,
Speaker 4: David calls back, and as I'm shouting to her, thinking
Speaker 4: this ain't the right David, I realized this is this David.
Speaker 4: It's the number I have who is a senior teacher
Speaker 4: at one of my kids' school. And he calls back
Speaker 4: out of politeness, going oh, hi, Christian, is a problem
Speaker 4: with your WiFi? Right? You know, anyone don't want to
Speaker 4: appear an idiot. I go, hey, David, isn't it David?
Speaker 4: And I got hang on a minute. There's just a
Speaker 4: problem at the front door.
Speaker 1: I hang up when I go, not.
Speaker 4: The right David.
Speaker 3: We've got to buy time.
Speaker 4: It's not the right David. He's a teacher at the school.
Speaker 4: He must think I'm crazy. Why would I call him headmaster?
Speaker 4: It's mister o'coln again for you. He doesn't know what
Speaker 4: that third channel is for on this washing machine. I'll
Speaker 4: call him right back. I'll call him right back.
Speaker 3: Your theory, I guess is like he's a teacher, teachers
Speaker 3: students the next generation. He must be smart. He will
Speaker 3: know about Wi Fi.
Speaker 4: I was so embarrassed I couldn't even call him back
Speaker 4: to say wrong David. Right, so I just texting sorry,
Speaker 4: it's the wrong David, But thank you so much. What
Speaker 4: great service that you'll holp out a bit of the
Speaker 4: fees we play. I mean he should come around sort
Speaker 4: out the Wi Fi as well. Jackie boy, what happened
Speaker 4: to you yesterday?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: You know the team got us all bagels yesterday after
Speaker 3: the show, which was a lovely gest.
Speaker 4: Yes, the boss did this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got me a whole meal bagel. I noticed
Speaker 3: the rest of you guys were eating white bagels.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just think you'd ask for it for dietary needs.
Speaker 3: I would never ask whole meal. I actually don't think
Speaker 3: anyone prefers whole meal to white, especially in a bagel,
Speaker 3: because it's an already dense bread.
Speaker 4: It's too much bread.
Speaker 3: When you add the healthiness of whole meal in there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's actually not an enjoyer. Well, no, I'm sorry to
Speaker 3: say I threw half mine away.
Speaker 4: I don't blame you. It's the bagel. There's only one
Speaker 4: bag or don't have a bagel, it's the white one.
Speaker 4: You have to go for the white one.
Speaker 3: Tom, who is the great producer, he's actually nominated for
Speaker 3: a very special radio award. He was in charge of
Speaker 3: getting his bagels. Why'd you get me a whole meal bagel?
Speaker 4: Tom? Let's give Tom a right to play. Why do
Speaker 4: you what does jat look like? A whole meal guy?
Speaker 3: I honestly don't really remember ordering a whole meal bagel.
Speaker 4: Specifically, you would have had to go like bagel, bagel, bagel,
Speaker 4: Jack's one.
Speaker 3: I think they sort of because it was a salmon bagel.
Speaker 3: They just thought, our whole meal is a rye is
Speaker 3: a bit of accompaniment to salmon. Maybe they've seen salmon
Speaker 3: and God and this guy is trying to be healthy.
Speaker 3: Maybe one whole meal.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I went to bag like, are you eating this morning?
Speaker 3: I said, well, technically yes, but.
Speaker 4: Not going home from school And all the canteen had
Speaker 4: was whole Well technically yes. Now one you're in there,
Speaker 4: friends of rom T shirt. He's angry with the world.
Speaker 3: My question this morning would be, does anybody actually prefer
Speaker 3: whole meal bread then white bread? I know some people
Speaker 3: choose it for a healthier option, but do you prefer
Speaker 3: the taste? I doubt we get any.
Speaker 4: Calls I think that. And the way to answer this
Speaker 4: honest is when you're on your own and they go,
Speaker 4: what type of bread do you want? I mean, with
Speaker 4: you with you at the half, I always have to
Speaker 4: go a whole meal rights. I was like, hey, you
Speaker 4: know that white so it's not quite as healthy for you.
Speaker 4: We've got to be easier, I age. But when there's
Speaker 4: no one around, I do this move. When they go,
Speaker 4: I go, I can weigh up all the auctions like
Speaker 4: it's a freak occurrence. I'd ever ask for a white bread,
Speaker 4: even a white bread toasty. You don't have a whole
Speaker 4: meal toasty.
Speaker 3: When the way it goes, whole meal are white and
Speaker 3: you go you know exactly what you're getting, but you go, hmm,
Speaker 3: you know what, This morning, I might do whitebread.
Speaker 4: Heard talking about this white bread. I think I'd like
Speaker 4: to try that for the first time ever. All right,
Speaker 4: could stop this morning. Does anyone actually genuinely like whole Mill.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Questian Okyl show whole mild bread?
Speaker 4: Does anyone actually like it? Or did you pretend to
Speaker 4: like it to appear healthy? Nine four one four one
Speaker 4: o four three whole well bread only feels like it
Speaker 4: came along in there like mid nineties. Before that was
Speaker 4: only of a white bread.
Speaker 3: Now, I didn't even know about whole meal bread when
Speaker 3: I was a kid. That's how much tiptop we ate.
Speaker 1: Wendy, good morning, Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 5: How are you guys?
Speaker 4: Are we good?
Speaker 1: Wendy?
Speaker 4: And I hope you're will so? Whole meal.
Speaker 6: Jack, Jack, I've got to tell you, why would you
Speaker 6: eat anything other than whole meal?
Speaker 3: Because white white bed better.
Speaker 6: No, white bread is what you don't know any better.
Speaker 4: But it's so heavy going whole mill. Even though a
Speaker 4: whole meal sandwich is only nice for the first half
Speaker 4: of it, you can never have the whole sandwhich is
Speaker 4: too much granary in there.
Speaker 6: No, it's just tasty and yummy, and it's just a
Speaker 6: really good taste. White bridge is starchy and it's bulky.
Speaker 4: But if you're having a toasty you'd go white bread toasty,
Speaker 4: wouldn't you.
Speaker 6: I never eat white bread.
Speaker 1: I hate the story about sour dough.
Speaker 6: Anything sour dough, rye bread, whole meal.
Speaker 4: For sour dough, the great sour dough.
Speaker 6: I would anything over white bread. As long as it's
Speaker 6: not white, I will happily eat it.
Speaker 3: You might have been too long since you've tasted white bread.
Speaker 3: By the sounds, I would say, go back this week,
Speaker 3: and then.
Speaker 4: You're a you're a DENI.
Speaker 6: You're on the dark side.
Speaker 4: No, Wendy, have a good day, thanks for calling.
Speaker 1: Thanks bye, Linda.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Linda.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 7: Wholemeal bread all the way.
Speaker 8: The only people in our family who eat white bread
Speaker 8: is kids.
Speaker 3: I don't know why it's being seen as a kids.
Speaker 3: Adults can happily enjoy white bread.
Speaker 4: It's so good.
Speaker 7: Nah.
Speaker 8: Nah, wholemeal taste better.
Speaker 3: You don't give whole meal to your kids, do you, Linda.
Speaker 1: I'll try that one because it's too heavy.
Speaker 4: It's too heavy. All right, Linda, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: You called well.
Speaker 2: Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 4: Time now to read some of your emails. We call
Speaker 4: these late Laparty. You can email the shower anything you've
Speaker 4: heard us talking about. Yesterday, we were talking about the
Speaker 4: mating story about two airline pilots. Who fell asleep and
Speaker 4: missed their landing of the plane that they were flying
Speaker 4: with three hundred passengers. So we're looking for your stories, Abo,
Speaker 4: where have you fallen asleep late? These are some great
Speaker 4: stories about where you've fallen asleep. First up, we have
Speaker 4: and Christian. I fell asleep on more than one occasion
Speaker 4: being a pillium passenger on the motorbike with my husband.
Speaker 4: I understand the do that you're traveling, you've got to
Speaker 4: hang on, you got to die. I would not my
Speaker 4: helmet against his as a lolled into sleep, and if
Speaker 4: that didn't jolp me awake, my husband would reach back
Speaker 4: and have to poke me in the legs to keep
Speaker 4: me awake. That's from Anne Christian years ago my younger days,
Speaker 4: I went out on a weeknight and ended up being
Speaker 4: a lot later than I planned. Instead of going home,
Speaker 4: I decided to go into going into work, and sleeping
Speaker 4: at work is a terrible idea. Instead of going home,
Speaker 4: then I went into work. I then worked in a hospital.
Speaker 4: I thought I'd sneak into a quiet side room, knowing
Speaker 4: that nobody went in there during night shift. There was
Speaker 4: a comfort little couch in there. I sneaked and unnoticed
Speaker 4: and set my alarm so as not to be discovered.
Speaker 4: After a few hours, I woke up with the early
Speaker 4: morning sun coming in through the blind. It was then
Speaker 4: that I'd realized I've been sleeping with a deceased in
Speaker 4: a body bag in the same room as this small room.
Speaker 4: Oh God, oh Julie, oh Jude, that is the stuff
Speaker 4: of nightmares. Christian Cook here many yearsy eyes that manage
Speaker 4: a strip club here in Melbourne. My job of the
Speaker 4: time was to run the music and stage lights for
Speaker 4: the live shows, and all that had to do with
Speaker 4: it was to keep the spotlight on the lady dancing. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: after a couple of days doing double shifts, we could
Speaker 4: all feel out what he did did a couple of
Speaker 4: days are doing double shifts. I've fort a sleep in
Speaker 4: the lighting booths, standing up holding the spotlight. Next ting
Speaker 4: I remember was one of the dancers tapping me on
Speaker 4: the heads asking me if I was boring her. That's
Speaker 4: from Cook, because so many years ago I worked two jobs,
Speaker 4: and one was a bouncer at nightclub. It was the
Speaker 4: Eastern long weekend, so I worked four days and four nights,
Speaker 4: hardly in a sleep. On the Monday night, and four him.
Speaker 4: I kicked a guy out. I just started to lean
Speaker 4: against the front door of the nightclub. I was starting
Speaker 4: to feel the effects of no sleep. Next thing, I've
Speaker 4: fallen asleep standing up and the guy I just kicked
Speaker 4: out stumbled his way back inside. The manager was watching
Speaker 4: the whole thing on the camera and was fuming and
Speaker 4: fire me afterwards. I loved the idea of the dough,
Speaker 4: but that did not happen to Swayze in Roadhouse. And
Speaker 4: there comes from Aidan who reckons she's falling asleep in
Speaker 4: the shower whilst the water was running. I don't know
Speaker 4: how you do that, all right, If you've got any
Speaker 4: more stories about where you've fallen asleep like those, we'd
Speaker 4: love to hear them.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Jack and I just been debating how many D'SE fans
Speaker 4: are going actually going to get tickets for next Friday
Speaker 4: night huge game at the MCG against the Swans. You know,
Speaker 4: and all those these fans who said, you know, we
Speaker 4: couldn't see the grand fine at the MCG. This is
Speaker 4: your moment. I'd like to think it will sell out,
Speaker 4: but now I'm starting to have doubts whether my fellow
Speaker 4: D's fans will simply just choose to watch on TV
Speaker 4: and not show up next.
Speaker 3: No doubt it will be a big game. But you
Speaker 3: got an interstate team and a team of where their
Speaker 3: supporters don't show up to the ground, So I'm not
Speaker 3: sure it's going to be a seller.
Speaker 4: I hope it is all right. We're talking about where
Speaker 4: did you fall asleep? Christian? I'm a sparky. I fell
Speaker 4: asleep in a roof other week, woke up around four
Speaker 4: point thirty pm. I guess actually warm and snugly up
Speaker 4: there with all that lagging and insulation. That's a perfect
Speaker 4: sort of hiding place. Oh that's a great idea, Anthony,
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. So we're looking for your stories today.
Speaker 4: Where have you fallen asleep? Nine four one four one
Speaker 4: oh four three?
Speaker 1: Sam?

Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, midwalk middle of the day, because Africa time,
Speaker 5: that was like three am kind of thing, and so

Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Well, it was a pretty warm day and the sets
Speaker 11: were pretty beverage coming through. They weren't consistent, so it
Speaker 11: was pretty warm. Started to decide to hop off the
Speaker 11: board to cool off a little bit and lay it
Speaker 11: across me board and I must have noted off because
Speaker 11: the next thing I know, there was a seal laying
Speaker 11: beside me cooard.

Speaker 4: patient so I could go to tourter. I woke up
Speaker 4: to someone banging on the door to wake me up
Speaker 4: about twenty minutes later. Al I'm not surprised. You work
Speaker 4: really really long shifts. I get that Carissa fell asleep
Speaker 4: waiting for my kids at school pickup. I got there
Speaker 4: thirteen minutes early to get a car park, say spot
Speaker 4: fell us eat from the car out the front of
Speaker 4: the school. Woke up to heaps of parents and my
Speaker 4: kids around the car trying to get in the car,

Speaker 4: Hey guys. Yeah, yeah, it sounds like you're at work already.
Speaker 5: Yeah I am, unfortunately, unfortunately, and what do you do?
Speaker 4: My key?

Speaker 4: Yeah, tapping away right now? Hard at work? What are
Speaker 4: you at someone's house right now or a building site?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm filling up at the server at the moment.
Speaker 3: Who's backing off the hammer in the background.
Speaker 5: It's just a fuel plump. But I'm guy as I
Speaker 5: fell asleep in am in the escavator breaking rock for
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4: Okay, very industrial, intense job. The vibrations, the noise. You
Speaker 4: have to wear like eargars, don't you.
Speaker 1: How do you?
Speaker 4: How do you force it doing that? Mikey?
Speaker 12: Well, I know it kind of like hypnotizes you after
Speaker 12: a while, so the constantly.
Speaker 4: Take your word for it, Mikey. All right, Mikey, it
Speaker 4: sounds like the cast foot up now put that pump back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, beautiful, Thanks guys.
Speaker 4: So is he actually calling us from the pump, which
Speaker 4: you're not allowed to do. You're not allowed to do.
Speaker 4: And it's not just calling radio station phoning, so it's
Speaker 4: just not be on the phone at all.
Speaker 1: Kim, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 9: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good Kim? So where did you fall asleep?
Speaker 1: On one of the many family trish?
Speaker 5: When I was very young. I sleeps on the top bank,
Speaker 5: and I rolled off the top banks, got my head
Speaker 5: wedged between the cupboard and the oven, and proceeded to.
Speaker 13: Fall asleep and until everybody wake me in the morning.
Speaker 4: This is amazing. What is it as well? Getting getting
Speaker 4: wasted is different between being trapped. Getting wedge means it's
Speaker 4: between two things, doesn't it. Perfect is the top bunk
Speaker 4: and the oven? You said you got waste between.
Speaker 1: No, I know.
Speaker 5: I fell off the top bunk and then got waged
Speaker 5: between the cabot and the ovens. It was on the
Speaker 5: bread level.
Speaker 4: So if you're falling off the top bunk, it feels
Speaker 4: like a dive move, isn't it. Where you were, like,
Speaker 4: you know, doing some sort of swan dive and then
Speaker 4: you get wasted. Is what holds you in place?
Speaker 3: And somehow fell into the kitchen?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the caravan side everything by Everything's possible.
Speaker 4: That's what they should have diving competitions where you dive
Speaker 4: into a caravan and buoying around like a bimball. All right, Kim,
Speaker 4: thank you very much. She cool.
Speaker 14: NOx have a great die.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Trevor, Good morning, Trevor.
Speaker 1: Hello Christian, Yes, Trevor, where.
Speaker 4: Did you get trapped, Trevor, No force.
Speaker 5: The I felt a sleep on the Superman ride Movie
Speaker 5: World in Queensland.
Speaker 4: Again, I don't understand how you can do that. Were
Speaker 4: you really tired or drunk?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 5: So I was sixteen years old at time, so I
Speaker 5: wasn't drunk yep. And it was during the Commonwealth Games
Speaker 5: here in Melbourne, so everyone in Queensland was still at school,
Speaker 5: so the theme parks were just empty, and the guys
Speaker 5: who were letting running the rides just let me and
Speaker 5: my brother go on to like over and over and
Speaker 5: over again and on like the tenth time. I was
Speaker 5: just that over the experience. I apparently passed out and
Speaker 5: didn't wake up to the end of the ride.
Speaker 4: Well, like Mikey earlier, with the hypnotic properties of the excavator,
Speaker 4: I guess you just got hypnotized going round and round
Speaker 4: and loop the loop.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, except the fact that the Whipping Man ride goes
Speaker 5: from zero to about one hundred and twenty kilometers an
Speaker 5: hour in about three seconds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think at the moment you're in the lead
Speaker 4: for I don't know how you fall to see such
Speaker 4: an extreme situation on the Superman ride.
Speaker 5: Just I Well, it was like literally the third theme
Speaker 5: past we had had in three days because we hit
Speaker 5: all four been Paks on that that kid. So it
Speaker 5: was just probably like over exhaustion of you know, but
Speaker 5: I've been you know, thrill seeking basically.
Speaker 4: It's our well known sort of side effect or thrill seeking.
Speaker 4: Is it that you actually fall asleep on one of
Speaker 4: those rides?
Speaker 5: But well, I don't know, Christian, have you ridden like
Speaker 5: over fifty five days?
Speaker 4: Right, you're throwing shade here, Trevor. You're quite right about out,
Speaker 4: No I haven't. Actually, I love the idea, you know,
Speaker 4: you can go and get those photos that show you
Speaker 4: mid ride and you're one everyone else when they died,
Speaker 4: you just got fast asleep. You're true.
Speaker 5: It's the best fight out of all the ones that
Speaker 5: I've got. It's literally is major against my brother, just
Speaker 5: like snoring my head off.
Speaker 4: I couldn't dream of getting one of those photos, Trevor. Trevor,

Speaker 4: know why, Sabrina. What's your story for us this morning? Mate?
Speaker 8: So, I was about seven and a half months pregnant.
Speaker 8: So I had the big belly, and I decided, in
Speaker 8: all my wisdom, I wanted to put some car seats
Speaker 8: covers over my car seat in my car to prevent
Speaker 8: them from getting steen from the baby. So I was
Speaker 8: trying to put them under the driver's seat and I
Speaker 8: couldn't reach. So I managed to wage myself in the
Speaker 8: footwell of the driver's seat. But then I got stuck
Speaker 8: and I couldn't get out. I couldn't I had the
Speaker 8: driver the steering wheel in front of me. I had
Speaker 8: the pedals to my left, the seat to my right.
Speaker 8: I was currently living with my mom at the time.
Speaker 8: She was in the house. She couldn't hear me screaming.
Speaker 8: My partner at the time was at work, so I
Speaker 8: had to just lie there and wait until my partner
Speaker 8: came home so he could try and get me out.
Speaker 4: To How humiliating that's awful. How long were you like that?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 8: It was maybe a good fifteen to twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: That's too long. Any second word, lying prostrate like that
Speaker 4: is too much for a lady.
Speaker 8: Oh, and I was getting I was getting claustrophobic as well,
Speaker 8: so I started panicking, and I was thinking if I
Speaker 8: I just forced myself out, But then I didn't want
Speaker 8: to squish my belly and started to go.
Speaker 4: Into early labor because you were seven and a half months.
Speaker 3: But at least if the baby, she'd be able to
Speaker 3: wriggle out, yes, side window exactly.
Speaker 8: So my partner came home and he just stood there
Speaker 8: looking at me, and he said, you could have waited
Speaker 8: till I got home to do that, And I said,
Speaker 8: well no, because I was bored and I wanted to
Speaker 8: do something.
Speaker 4: And you wanted to get retched. Sabrina. Sorry, I'm going
Speaker 4: to give you a pair of tickets. You can par tickets.

Speaker 12: penny that had sold for twenty million dollars because it
Speaker 12: was rare, and my dad said, hang on, I've got
Speaker 12: one of those, and so he went to his jar
Speaker 12: and sure enough he found one. The coin collection my
Speaker 12: dad had passed my sister and I don't think she
Speaker 12: has any idea that that coin's in there now.
Speaker 4: The other two three minutes that we had with him
Speaker 4: was Jack and I yelling at him. But speak to your.
Speaker 3: Sister to tell her you got twenty million dollars in.

Speaker 4: to kick us off this morning. Good morning, Scott, Good morning.
Speaker 4: However we're going Scott, what's your story for us?
Speaker 13: Me and a friend were out scuba evant out of
Speaker 13: Rye in Port fill of Bay and getting some sculpts,
Speaker 13: and when we came up, the boat was gone. The
Speaker 13: anchor had pulled out, drifted away, and my mate had
Speaker 13: popped up early and he was been trying to swim
Speaker 13: to the boat where the boat was going quicker in
Speaker 13: the wind than you could catch it, so to swim
Speaker 13: back to shore, which was probably a chaos. So off
Speaker 13: shore and halfway back because I was splashing around like
Speaker 13: an idiot trying to swim to shore, and I got
Speaker 13: hit by a shark. Scuba tank lifted me out of
Speaker 13: the water, so luckily it hit me in a steel
Speaker 13: scuba tank and and didn't just lrip my legs and
Speaker 13: arms off. So yeah, a little bit scary.
Speaker 4: All of this. So the cave that you're swimming is
Speaker 4: that with all your full like breathing.
Speaker 13: Gear, Yes it was.
Speaker 4: You dropped the weight belt, yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, and me died back. I had, you know,
Speaker 13: a full bag of sculpts, which is a disappointed.
Speaker 4: Shut them away the shark, they're going distract it there.
Speaker 3: And then the way you said you got hip by
Speaker 3: a shark like you would say I got hip by
Speaker 3: car like it was a collision.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well it lifted me out of the water, so
Speaker 13: it's got to have been a decent size.
Speaker 4: But you've got one of the twenty k sort of
Speaker 4: oxygen tank on your back as well.
Speaker 13: Yeah pretty much. Yeah, big steel tank. So what had happened?
Speaker 13: I was, I was swimming rapidly back to shore, trying
Speaker 13: to get help because my friend who had been swimming
Speaker 13: to the boat try and get it, but the boat
Speaker 13: was going too fast away in the wind that there
Speaker 13: was a lot of distance between us, so I wanted
Speaker 13: to get help to get it back.
Speaker 4: He's a smart one. Yeah, he put that distance between it.
Speaker 4: You may scallops as well. I'll turn the barbie on.
Speaker 3: And so what did you do when you got back
Speaker 3: to shore? How did you go and rescue the boat?
Speaker 1: And you made well.
Speaker 13: I was waving in your arm. It's like you're invisible
Speaker 13: when you're just bobbing in the water. A few boats
Speaker 13: were going back to the boat ramp after their days
Speaker 13: fishing or whatever. And I'm waving my arm crazy toime
Speaker 13: because I'd made it more than halfway back and they
Speaker 13: couldn't see me, and I was like, how can you
Speaker 13: not see me? But there was another small boat coming,
Speaker 13: so I thought I'm not going to miss this one.
Speaker 13: So I swam out basically right in front of the boat,
Speaker 13: and as he went past, I banged my hand on
Speaker 13: the side of the boat. It was only a little boat.
Speaker 5: And the guys freaked out.
Speaker 13: He's like, what's that And he looked down and I'll
Speaker 13: go mate, help, you know, help, And this old.
Speaker 8: Fellow wanted to throw me a rope.
Speaker 13: I said, nah, he goes, I'll tell you the shore,
Speaker 13: I said, I need.
Speaker 4: It's like he's towing chum for the shark. A shark
Speaker 4: in the water.
Speaker 1: It was very scary down amazing.
Speaker 13: He We end up getting on the boat and were
Speaker 13: getting out to my mate and threw the rope to
Speaker 13: him too for some reason. But we end u getting
Speaker 13: all on the boat and then I got it, talked
Speaker 13: to him to take me out to the boat, and
Speaker 13: he just didn't realize there was nobody on the boat.
Speaker 13: He thought we must have been thrown off the boat
Speaker 13: or something rather to I didn't wants to get in
Speaker 13: the boat, but yeah, but we managed to get the

Speaker 4: weird places that you fell asleep. She used to work

Speaker 4: dead in this tiny little side room. This is an
Speaker 4: amazing story, Tom from Julie all right nine four one
Speaker 4: four one o four three. What's your story that might
Speaker 4: make us say? Wow, Bree, good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: Hello, how are you well?
Speaker 4: Good Brie, So you've got a story for us?
Speaker 7: We're all is okay. So my partner and I decided
Speaker 7: one weekend we were going to go camping, and we
Speaker 7: always got up to the Murray River and we were
Speaker 7: driving in to our camp foot we had my daughter
Speaker 7: was ten at the time. She was in the back seat,
Speaker 7: and it was winter and there was a bit of
Speaker 7: water on the road, which is normal. So he got
Speaker 7: out of the car and had a quick look and
Speaker 7: he thought, we can do this.
Speaker 17: We've got a fall drive.
Speaker 7: So he started to go in slowly, and then all
Speaker 7: of a sudden he decided, no, we're not going to
Speaker 7: try this after all, tried to back out and the
Speaker 7: car slid and we went completely underwater, fully submerged. The
Speaker 7: car filled up within ten seconds. I reckon and we
Speaker 7: had about an inch from between you know where we
Speaker 7: were and or the top of the water to the
Speaker 7: roof of the car.
Speaker 4: The stuff nightmare got your ten year old in the car, had.
Speaker 7: My ten year old in the back seat. So he
Speaker 7: went to try and get out. Window was open, luckily,
Speaker 7: because you know, if it was closed, all our windows
Speaker 7: were closed. The cupboard of air locks, so he wouldn't
Speaker 7: have been able to get out.
Speaker 4: You can't get the doors.
Speaker 7: Open, that's it. So he forced his door open, and
Speaker 7: then he went to try and get my daughter out
Speaker 7: and her door was locked, so her window was opened
Speaker 7: just the time a little bit.
Speaker 17: So he tried to.
Speaker 7: Pull her window out and he couldn't get it out,
Speaker 7: and then he realized the door was locked, so he
Speaker 7: unlocked her drawer. He put his arm through, got the
Speaker 7: door open, went to pull her out, and her seat
Speaker 7: belt was on, so then he had to put her
Speaker 7: back down under a seat belt. Tried to pull her
Speaker 7: out again and her dressing gown got caught, so then
Speaker 7: he had to put her back underwater, unhooked her dressing gown.
Speaker 7: He got her out and he threw her on the
Speaker 7: top of the car and he said, wait there, I'm
Speaker 7: going to go and get mum. In the meantime, I
Speaker 7: was trying to open my door and I couldn't get
Speaker 7: it open. And I've got I've got a spinal condition,
Speaker 7: so my left side doesn't work very well. And I
Speaker 7: was trying to electric window and I didn't think it
Speaker 7: was going down, but then I put my hand up
Speaker 7: the top to sort of push, and my hand went through,
Speaker 7: So I said, ah, the window's working. So I wound
Speaker 7: the window down. I managed to get myself out just
Speaker 7: as he was coming around to get me. He pushed
Speaker 7: me up on top of the car, and then we
Speaker 7: sat there while he tried to figure out because neither
Speaker 7: of us girls can swim, he tried to figure out
Speaker 7: how to get us out of the water and onto land,
Speaker 7: and he managed to. He took my daughter first, and
Speaker 7: then he took me across, and then we walked and
Speaker 7: walked and walked, and I was I'd filled up with water,
Speaker 7: so I was completely like vomiting and you know, really dig.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So we walked for about two kilometers and then we
Speaker 7: saw a light like it just a really faint light
Speaker 7: in the distance in the paddick, and he said, I'm
Speaker 7: going to go and have a look what missus. We'll
Speaker 7: see if there's anyone there. And then he come he
Speaker 7: come back out again. He said, get us, come in,
Speaker 7: Come in. We found this little shack. It had a bed,
Speaker 7: it had firewood, it had bottled water, blankets, story.
Speaker 4: Dim light in the distance, speed listening to this incredible story.
Speaker 7: Well it doesn't finish there.
Speaker 4: You make it to the paddock and you get some water.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well we didn't. We couldn't find matches, so and
Speaker 7: everything we owned was in the car. While we're at
Speaker 7: the car, my handbag floated away and he goes, oh,
Speaker 7: goes your handbag. I said, we need that. Your wallet's
Speaker 7: under the driver's seat, you know. So he had to
Speaker 7: swim out and get that. He nearly drowned doing that.
Speaker 7: Since when we closed.
Speaker 4: In that situation, I'm lucky everyone's that. I'm not going
Speaker 4: to get you about the tissues. We'll get you a
Speaker 4: new about the wallet. We're alve. Now we've got to
Speaker 4: get through the night and get So what did you do?
Speaker 7: Well, we'd slept in the shacks, so we'd sort of
Speaker 7: cuddled up together. We took all our clothes up because
Speaker 7: they were wet.
Speaker 4: You must have been just replaying what happened. You would
Speaker 4: have been so traumatized by it.
Speaker 7: I couldn't sleep. I was like every time I dozed off,
Speaker 7: I was dreaming about it. So in the morning, it
Speaker 7: was about probably five thirty, I reckon. I'm not sure.
Speaker 7: He found like a plastic tablecloth thing in there. So
Speaker 7: he put his wet clothes back on and wrapped up
Speaker 7: in this plastic tablecloth and just went walking. And there
Speaker 7: was a farmer driving down the road on his tractor.
Speaker 18: Is that.
Speaker 4: As a Meetshi Kate, you're staring up on you foot down?
Speaker 7: So yeah, So the farmer loaned him his mobile phone
Speaker 7: and he rang whatever phone number we could remember, you know,
Speaker 7: and a couple of his mates sort of rallied together
Speaker 7: and got a car trailer and they came up in
Speaker 7: a couple of four wheel drives and that we managed
Speaker 7: to get the car out.
Speaker 4: To say the only number you need is treble there
Speaker 4: rather than cover at four.
Speaker 7: It's funny because we had a police car drove straight
Speaker 7: past us in the morning while we're waiting for our friends,
Speaker 7: and we're waving and waving, and they just kept going.
Speaker 7: They went down the track where we'd gone in, and
Speaker 7: then they drove off again. And when we went to
Speaker 7: get the car, there was a sign on the trees
Speaker 7: that wasn't there the previous night, saying, you know, water
Speaker 7: over row like turned back.
Speaker 3: So even the police have seen the man in the
Speaker 3: plastic sheet and guns. It's an amazing story.
Speaker 4: It's incredible. Honestly, if you wonder why we're so quiet,
Speaker 4: we're just I think we're just trying to sort of
Speaker 4: process it all. It's an unbelievable story. You are genuinely
Speaker 4: all of you lucky to be alive.
Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely, absolutely we are. If it wasn't for him,
Speaker 7: there's no way ruld have made it.
Speaker 3: There's so many moments though. If it wasn't for even
Speaker 3: finding that shack after you're all completely.
Speaker 1: Soaked, Yeah, yeah, wow.
Speaker 7: Well, if we'd had to keep walking, you know, we
Speaker 7: sort of think Kasamia, I always.
Speaker 4: Worried about you out there in the bush the middle
Speaker 4: of nowhere, you would have gone into like shock. It
Speaker 4: could have been a really different story.
Speaker 7: Oh it was horrid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was horrid.
Speaker 7: So I took the next day off work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go back a look a bit handbag.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, kept my daughter home. We went to the
Speaker 7: doctor and got checked out and everything, just to make sure,
Speaker 7: you know. But yeah, yeah, it was pretty traumatic.
Speaker 3: It's a really necessary warning as well about driving through floodwaters,
Speaker 3: because some people still don't know the dangers of doing that.
Speaker 8: No, that's right.
Speaker 7: And you know, my partner's been full driving for thirty
Speaker 7: odd years and has done massive water He's done Kpe York,
Speaker 7: so he's done some massive water crossing and he always
Speaker 7: gets out of the car beforehand and checks. He's very cautious. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and this was just you know, we couldn't see in
Speaker 7: the dark. It was nine thirty ten o'clock at dime,
Speaker 7: and the road had washed.
Speaker 4: Away and we couldn't try to read on it when
Speaker 4: it's that dark.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's it.
