<v Speaker 2>are the odds? My friend friends, we're going to barbers

0:01:09.605 --> 0:01:10.285
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago.

0:01:10.365 --> 0:01:11.845
<v Speaker 4>To me, he goes, oh, what's your name? And I said, Oh,

0:01:11.845 --> 0:01:13.605
<v Speaker 4>it's Paul. There was four other people in there, and

0:01:13.605 --> 0:01:15.405
<v Speaker 4>the guy next to me goes, oh, my name's Paul.

0:01:15.485 --> 0:01:18.245
<v Speaker 4>The barber says, my name's Paul, and the other guy says, oh,

0:01:18.285 --> 0:01:18.925
<v Speaker 4>my name's Paul.

0:01:19.285 --> 0:01:20.085
<v Speaker 5>Oh cool, Paul.

0:01:20.205 --> 0:01:23.565
<v Speaker 6>I had an iPad stolen from my home and months

0:01:23.645 --> 0:01:27.325
<v Speaker 6>later I get a phone call the police have identified

0:01:27.485 --> 0:01:31.885
<v Speaker 6>my iPad. One of the police officers recognized photos from

0:01:31.885 --> 0:01:34.965
<v Speaker 6>my brother's wedding. He'd been to primary school with him,

0:01:35.325 --> 0:01:37.845
<v Speaker 6>knew the family and contacted my mind.

0:01:37.965 --> 0:01:38.805
<v Speaker 2>Prayed my broakfast.

0:01:38.885 --> 0:01:41.245
<v Speaker 7>Just the other day I cracked open the egg and

0:01:41.365 --> 0:01:44.165
<v Speaker 7>had two yolks inside the one egg. And then I

0:01:44.245 --> 0:01:47.005
<v Speaker 7>went on to have a banana and peeled the banana

0:01:47.045 --> 0:01:49.085
<v Speaker 7>and there were two bananas inside the one peal.

0:01:49.565 --> 0:01:52.525
<v Speaker 1>And that there is why you make the big switch

0:01:52.565 --> 0:01:57.645

0:02:26.925 --> 0:02:29.245
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Back in the nineties, mate, we'd hire a mini

0:02:29.285 --> 0:02:33.845
<v Speaker 4>bus for a footing trip away to Sydney and as

0:02:33.885 --> 0:02:36.405
<v Speaker 4>we got through Aubrey, a couple of the boys that

0:02:36.485 --> 0:02:38.045
<v Speaker 4>had a few too many and there was a bit

0:02:38.045 --> 0:02:40.205
<v Speaker 4>of shenanigans and we got pulled up by the local

0:02:40.245 --> 0:02:46.525
<v Speaker 4>police just outside of Aubrey. Ah. He comes to the

0:02:46.565 --> 0:02:50.205
<v Speaker 4>bus door. He says to the driver, you've got a

0:02:50.205 --> 0:02:52.565
<v Speaker 4>bit of trouble mate. What's your name? He goes Aubrey.

0:02:53.765 --> 0:02:57.085
<v Speaker 4>He goes, okay, we've got some smart asses here. And

0:02:57.165 --> 0:02:59.525
<v Speaker 4>his mate goes, mate, nice, here is his name is Aubrey?

0:02:59.565 --> 0:03:01.805
<v Speaker 4>What's going on? He goes, what's your name? His name

<v Speaker 4>sort this out of the station and Aubrey, no, check

0:03:09.165 --> 0:03:10.885
<v Speaker 4>me laws and he goes get in the car. He

0:03:10.965 --> 0:03:13.245
<v Speaker 4>took him to the police station. So we're on the

0:03:13.285 --> 0:03:16.405
<v Speaker 4>side of the road. Half an hour later, the policeman

0:03:16.485 --> 0:03:20.765
<v Speaker 4>comes back and even he said, what are the odds

0:03:20.805 --> 0:03:23.805
<v Speaker 4>that I'll pull a butt up in Aubrey? The driver's

0:03:23.885 --> 0:03:27.965

<v Speaker 5>Morning, good morning. How are you, Christian?

0:03:59.965 --> 0:04:02.085
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. Carry. So what's your story for us on

0:04:02.125 --> 0:04:02.925
<v Speaker 2>what are the odds?

0:04:03.325 --> 0:04:03.485
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:04:03.485 --> 0:04:06.405
<v Speaker 5>Well, my mom was traveling to Scotland to look after

0:04:06.405 --> 0:04:09.285
<v Speaker 5>my great grandmother because she was unwell, and my mom

0:04:09.325 --> 0:04:11.485
<v Speaker 5>didn't realize she was pregnant. She didn't discover that till

0:04:11.525 --> 0:04:14.765
<v Speaker 5>she got to Scotland. Anyway, my great grandmother passes away.

0:04:15.285 --> 0:04:18.365
<v Speaker 5>Mom's about seven months pregnant and she decides to fly home,

0:04:18.925 --> 0:04:21.164
<v Speaker 5>so she flies home. When she sits down on the plane.

0:04:21.404 --> 0:04:24.005
<v Speaker 5>At the plane, she discovers that the lady next.

0:04:23.844 --> 0:04:25.445
<v Speaker 4>To her is a midwife.

0:04:25.844 --> 0:04:28.205
<v Speaker 5>So part way through the flight, as you would expect,

0:04:28.404 --> 0:04:31.164
<v Speaker 5>the water breaks, the midwife delive is the baby and

0:04:31.205 --> 0:04:35.564
<v Speaker 5>it ends up being twinned. No, mom didn't even know

0:04:35.604 --> 0:04:38.245
<v Speaker 5>she was having twins, so she had a bit of

0:04:38.284 --> 0:04:41.165
<v Speaker 5>trouble getting random chance or not, but next to a

0:04:41.245 --> 0:04:44.765
<v Speaker 5>midwife sitting next to a midwife, go figure.

0:04:44.724 --> 0:04:47.685
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, it's meant to be.

0:04:48.765 --> 0:04:53.765
<v Speaker 5>Super cool, super cool, really super cool.

0:04:55.205 --> 0:04:59.645
<v Speaker 2>Let me guess midwife get ready reassured?

0:04:59.685 --> 0:05:00.325
<v Speaker 5>Are you you know?

0:05:02.125 --> 0:05:02.844

<v Speaker 3>That's all right. So my story. So my fiance James

0:05:27.445 --> 0:05:30.765
<v Speaker 3>and I we were on our way up to New

0:05:30.804 --> 0:05:34.565
<v Speaker 3>South Wales, driving through regional Victoria, and we stopped in

0:05:34.604 --> 0:05:38.485
<v Speaker 3>this very remote town for lunch. I'm talking like there's

0:05:38.525 --> 0:05:42.364
<v Speaker 3>a petrol station, a bakery in a pub and the

0:05:42.404 --> 0:05:44.885
<v Speaker 3>only other handful of shops were all boarded up, and

0:05:44.924 --> 0:05:48.805
<v Speaker 3>it was this tiny, creepy town and James and I

0:05:48.924 --> 0:05:51.484
<v Speaker 3>were like, oh, you know, this would make such like

0:05:51.525 --> 0:05:56.004
<v Speaker 3>a great setting for a Scooby Doo mystery, like tumbleweeds everywhere,

0:05:56.125 --> 0:06:00.364
<v Speaker 3>like these creepy old black people whatever. And we were

0:06:00.445 --> 0:06:04.685
<v Speaker 3>walking back to the car and parked next to the

0:06:04.724 --> 0:06:08.284
<v Speaker 3>car was a mystery machine.

0:06:08.604 --> 0:06:17.125
<v Speaker 1>What some dodgy care take it. It was always a dodgy

0:06:17.164 --> 0:06:21.085
<v Speaker 1>care taker, always in a mask, meddling. Kids would have

0:06:21.125 --> 0:06:23.964
<v Speaker 1>gone away with it exactly.

0:06:24.125 --> 0:06:25.685

0:06:38.005 --> 0:06:41.564
<v Speaker 3>We just could not stop laughing. It was so funny. Yeah,

0:06:41.685 --> 0:06:43.565

<v Speaker 8>Good morning, Christian, Hi guys, how are you this morning?

0:07:34.005 --> 0:07:34.605
<v Speaker 2>We're good Kim.

0:07:34.725 --> 0:07:37.605
<v Speaker 1>Now, Kim, you're the person as a story about the

0:07:37.645 --> 0:07:39.125
<v Speaker 1>patron Saint Anthony.

0:07:39.885 --> 0:07:43.525
<v Speaker 2>I do great so love a Patron Saints story.

0:07:43.804 --> 0:07:46.564
<v Speaker 1>Normally we take patron Saints on a Thursday, but I'm

0:07:46.645 --> 0:07:48.605
<v Speaker 1>happy to take a confession now.

0:07:48.485 --> 0:07:49.165
<v Speaker 2>For the Christians.

0:07:50.645 --> 0:07:52.765
<v Speaker 8>So this was back in the eighties and I was

0:07:52.804 --> 0:07:56.084
<v Speaker 8>playing competition netball and as I went on to the court,

0:07:56.125 --> 0:07:58.884
<v Speaker 8>I gave my friend a cross in chain that was

0:07:58.925 --> 0:08:00.885
<v Speaker 8>really special to me because you're not allowed to wear

0:08:00.965 --> 0:08:03.124
<v Speaker 8>jewelry when you play. So he put it in his

0:08:03.285 --> 0:08:06.244
<v Speaker 8>pocket and you know, played the game. Later that night,

0:08:06.364 --> 0:08:09.244
<v Speaker 8>I asked him for the cross back and he couldn't

0:08:09.285 --> 0:08:11.405
<v Speaker 8>find it, and I was devastated because it was really

0:08:11.445 --> 0:08:14.444
<v Speaker 8>special to me. So I said, we have to go

0:08:14.605 --> 0:08:17.204
<v Speaker 8>back to that field. And it was like two soccer fields,

0:08:17.205 --> 0:08:20.205
<v Speaker 8>five network ports, and a whole load of grass everywhere

0:08:20.245 --> 0:08:21.324
<v Speaker 8>that we've been all over.

0:08:22.765 --> 0:08:23.005
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:08:23.125 --> 0:08:26.165
<v Speaker 8>So we decided to go back. The gates of the

0:08:26.205 --> 0:08:29.285
<v Speaker 8>oval were shut, but he and I got down on

0:08:29.285 --> 0:08:33.365
<v Speaker 8>our bellies and climbed underneath the gate, went with torches

0:08:33.405 --> 0:08:36.365
<v Speaker 8>looking all over the oval for this tiny little cross

0:08:36.365 --> 0:08:40.165
<v Speaker 8>that anybody could have picked up. And anyway, after I

0:08:40.205 --> 0:08:41.725
<v Speaker 8>don't know, an hour or an hour and a half

0:08:41.885 --> 0:08:44.324
<v Speaker 8>or so we decided to give up, and we were

0:08:44.365 --> 0:08:46.605
<v Speaker 8>just going back to the car. And as I was

0:08:46.645 --> 0:08:49.405
<v Speaker 8>going back to the car, having learned about Saint Anthony

0:08:49.444 --> 0:08:52.684
<v Speaker 8>in my schooling, I just said, oh, St Anthony, patriot

0:08:52.684 --> 0:08:54.444
<v Speaker 8>of lost thing, how would you let me know if

0:08:54.485 --> 0:08:56.804
<v Speaker 8>I was looking in the wrong spot? And I shone

0:08:56.885 --> 0:08:59.204
<v Speaker 8>the torch down on the ground once more and it

0:08:59.245 --> 0:09:01.005
<v Speaker 8>was right at the top of my big toe.
