Speaker 2: Says see every Wednesday on the show your stories of

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: coincidence and chance. So what are the odds? Rachel?

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: The odds are a few years ago, my mother in

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: law went to have an operation on her back. So

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: as they were cutting open her back, a fly flew

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: in her back, so they couldn't continue with the operation.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: They had to take the fly out, obviously, clean the area,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: sow her up, and she had to wait another week

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: for the operation because it had to heal and see it.

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: I have never heard that ever. They've never thought close

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: the windows.

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: It's it never ever happened before.

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: So then she has to come around from the generals

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: to go, oh my god, so much away.

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: She had to wait it also because it was COVID,

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: so she had to to the operation and then right

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: a week later the fly a fly in her back.

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: So what were they worried that the fly would come back?

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Because once they've got the fly out. I mean, that's

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: some surgeon skilled to do that, isn't it. With those tweezers.

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: I've got this one learning lesson. Be all my god,

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,959

Speaker 3: tennis player won the Australian Open on both grass and

68
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: hard courts and the answer was Matt Lelander and I

69
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: kind of flipped it. So I thought I'd better look

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: up this Matt's Lelander character to find out more about him.

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,960

72
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: won at Ku Yong and his prize money was one

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: hundred thousand.

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,400

00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 7: dad to deal on a deal or no deal, and

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 7: we were the people that had the suitcases that we

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 7: had to worpeen. So when the gentleman chose me, he said,

Speaker 7: I choose number twelve, and I said, I've got one

79
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 7: hundred thousand, and that's exactly what I had.

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's good. This is incredible.

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120

Speaker 2: an operation and cram afflicks are sweet up in the air,

97
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: it lands in the patient. I can't believe the fly

98
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: and they they had to stop the operat all. Right,

99
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,200

00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: So years ago, I had my first road five and

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: I was riding home one day and started running out

126
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: of film. So I thought I'll put on reserve, but

127
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 5: it was already on reserve, so I had to. I

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: thought I'd better go to the petrol station. So I

129
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: went down to fill it up. And the keys that

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: jumped down pognition had no tea unlocked the petrol cap.

131
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: So I went to ride back home and ran out

132
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: of petrol halfway there, and I, oh god, and I

133
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: looked on the road and there was a seven keys there,

134
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: but they weren't the motorbike keys, unfortunately, but I went.

135
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: I went and grabbed them and one fit of my

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: petrol cap. I was go, oh yes, cool. So I

137

Speaker 5: went back and filled up, you know, filled up the tank.

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: So Anyway, I had this little jar of bits and

139
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: bobs next to the bed, and I just end up

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: years years later, the bike had gone to God and

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 5: I ended up just chucking the key in the in

142
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 5: this jar. And uh, yeah, so five years later I

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 5: ended up buying this car, and uh, I went out.

144
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 5: I couldn't find my keys one day and I went out.

145
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: Now in the ignition, you know, I'd locked it in

146
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 5: the car, and being a good Frankston boy, I had

147
