Speaker 1: Here in the vast plains of Adelaide, South Australia, two
Speaker 1: young males engage in an ancient ritual known.
Speaker 2: As a podcast.
Speaker 1: It's purpose to attract mates, and by mates we mean listeners.
Speaker 1: They're both married, so please don't slide into their dms.
Speaker 3: Their names are Ben and Lee.
Speaker 2: Good their podcaster I am back in the saddle. Good
Speaker 2: to have you back in the saddle cat Well obviously
Speaker 2: not a sick day. Did the entire show so think
Speaker 2: here for the podcast recording. Apologies for that, Alene, thank
Speaker 2: you for taking the reins.
Speaker 1: Holding down the fort with my right hand woman, producer Bell.
Speaker 1: She did a great job on the buttons I feel
Speaker 1: and yeah, we had an international podcast on if you haven't.
Speaker 2: Heard, Was that a joke that I was at my
Speaker 2: daughter's expense?
Speaker 4: We was that?
Speaker 2: Sorry you said at my with my right hand gal,
Speaker 2: and you know that Jean got a right hand finger caught.
Speaker 1: No, I mean it like that.
Speaker 2: That's not on man.
Speaker 1: I did not mean it like that.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'll apologize. Jean is okay, No, she's all right. It
Speaker 1: was her babyhand did get caught in the door.
Speaker 2: We were just about to start recording the podcast Sam
Speaker 2: called me at like nine point thirty, weird because she
Speaker 2: never called me at nine thirty. So I did pick
Speaker 2: it up and she was upset, and I could hear
Speaker 2: Jeen crying in the background because she's at this stage
Speaker 2: where she is just I don't know why, but if
Speaker 2: she does want to leave a room, she would just
Speaker 2: reach out and grab something to be like, I want
Speaker 2: to stay in this room. And Sam was coming home
Speaker 2: through the front door, had chopping in the left hand,
Speaker 2: Jean in her right hand, and then as the front
Speaker 2: door was closing, Jean like grabbed the doorframe and the
Speaker 2: door closed on her finger, so her poor little finger
Speaker 2: got stuck in the door. So I did rush home
Speaker 2: to can'd of just be there take it to the hospital.
Speaker 2: But everyone's all good.
Speaker 1: Now, everyone is all okay.
Speaker 2: The podcast still ran smoothly. I heard it was it
Speaker 2: cam from Canada.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really cool. Lovely guy, lovely fella. Let
Speaker 1: that be a lesson to other international podcasters if they're
Speaker 1: out there. We've had someone from Canada, now, we've had
Speaker 1: someone from Scotland, England, America. We had someone from Texas
Speaker 1: one time.
Speaker 2: It's interesting when you listen to the podcast when you're
Speaker 2: not in it, because when you were speaking to him,
Speaker 2: there was a lot of points where I wanted to interject.
Speaker 2: Obviously I couldn't because I was listening to it, but
Speaker 2: like you were talking about like Canadian touch points, and
Speaker 2: he mentioned trailer park boys, which for me, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's my main association, is a bit of it. But
Speaker 2: trailer park boys is a great He's a bubbleat guy
Speaker 2: with the bubbles, has the big glasses, rick and something else.
Speaker 2: But basically they're kind of like what we would we'd
Speaker 2: call them bogans, white trash. They're white trash, but it's
Speaker 2: very funny. Yeah, And there's like a because I'd a
Speaker 2: trailer park, and there's like security makes his job very seriously.
Speaker 2: But they just is kind of like we do bell
Speaker 2: like it was just everything. They just disregard it. They
Speaker 2: don't take it too seriously. It's very funny.
Speaker 1: That sounds bad in context, but I get you get
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I'm sure if we gong belly
Speaker 1: out of the rousibly she would agree, she would say
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny. And if she doesn't say it's funny,
Speaker 1: I so as we just disregard it, So win win.
Speaker 2: Think it's a fair a fair summary.
Speaker 3: Bell that everything I say you don't take seriously in.
Speaker 1: A funny way, in a funny we do it in
Speaker 1: another way, but in a.
Speaker 2: Performance way.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, what's the thing Ben that you've started saying?
Speaker 5: Where if I say, hey, can you remember you've got
Speaker 5: to do this? Or like just like can you do this?
Speaker 5: And you say will I or just the stare right
Speaker 5: or some sort of witty comeback. But now you said,
Speaker 5: now I'm going to start saying maybe I will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna just stop everyone here.
Speaker 1: We're getting pretty sloppy at the front traditionally, like this
Speaker 1: is the front, we do like to get sloppy at
Speaker 1: the back. So let's just put a pin in it.
Speaker 1: We can enjoy this episode and at the back we
Speaker 1: can pick this one up.

Speaker 2: dot com dot au. I recently Liam bought a quad bike. Wow.
Speaker 2: Death traps, Yeah, everyone says a death traps. The people
Speaker 2: don't know how to drive them.
Speaker 1: I like doing the show with you, Bud. I don't
Speaker 1: want I don't want to see you go out in
Speaker 1: an unfortunate ATV incident.
Speaker 2: When I used to work in the dairy farm for
Speaker 2: five years, every single day drove a quad never once
Speaker 2: came close to rolling it. Do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, I suppose there's a difference between like
Speaker 1: riding around on a farm and like sending it on
Speaker 1: a jarm p.
Speaker 2: I suppose, yeah, I I never jumped one. You should
Speaker 2: send it. Well, I mean, I am sitting here saying
Speaker 2: it's completely safe. But when I picked it up from
Speaker 2: a fella out in the country, getting it onto my
Speaker 2: ute was fine because he had these really cool aluminum
Speaker 2: like foldable ramps. They were just they were designed for
Speaker 2: the job. He popped them on the U. I drove
Speaker 2: it up easy, got home and realized, so I've got
Speaker 2: a U, right, which is way higher when you think
Speaker 2: about it, than a trailer. And so I got home
Speaker 2: realized I didn't have the fancy pants ramps that he had.
Speaker 2: I don't have anything having to get this qualt off
Speaker 2: of my U. I didn't really think that far ahead
Speaker 2: got home and I was looking at it. I'm going
Speaker 2: to get this off, and then I realized that on
Speaker 2: my ute, I've got one of I've got a tray
Speaker 2: where the sides in the back fold down and they're
Speaker 2: on these little hinges, so the actual side of the
Speaker 2: you can come off. And I thought, well, that'll make
Speaker 2: a decent ramp, and so I took the sides of
Speaker 2: the you off and then put them on the back
Speaker 2: of the U.
Speaker 1: But they're not clipped into anything. They're just sort of there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought she'd be right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is exactly why people die on Like, kay,
Speaker 1: I love it. They're super safe.
Speaker 2: And my wife Sam came out with both the kids
Speaker 2: and she was like, what are you doing? And I
Speaker 2: was like, on to get the quade off the back
Speaker 2: of the you. What does it look like I'm doing? So
Speaker 2: that does not look safe and it doesn't sound and
Speaker 2: I said she'll be right, and she was like, oh god, Ben,
Speaker 2: this is a bad idea, and I said, trust me,
Speaker 2: So trust me. So I put the ramps there, got
Speaker 2: up on the court started reversing and as soon as
Speaker 2: they got near them, I saw they started to move.
Speaker 1: You're reversing as well, so yeah, yeah, yeah, it's even worse.
Speaker 2: And so I saw they were moving, I said, honey,
Speaker 2: put the put the baby down, put baby Jean down, Freddie,
Speaker 2: you just you stay where you are Sam, you have
Speaker 2: to come stand on the ramp. So it's got something
Speaker 2: to push against, you know, because yeah, wife as well
Speaker 2: in the process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't we get the kids help out. Freddie
Speaker 1: grab a sight of the ramp too.
Speaker 2: You have enough strength, So I said, Honey, I need
Speaker 2: you to stand on the bottom of the ramp. Once
Speaker 2: I get on it be fine. But I just got
Speaker 2: to get on it. This is just not So she
Speaker 2: was standing at the bottom of the ramp. I started reversing.
Speaker 2: She was like, Ben no, no, bed no no. And
Speaker 2: then I was about halfway down the run of the
Speaker 2: rams completely fell down and the whole quad started it
Speaker 2: kind of and it fell so half the quad was
Speaker 2: like on the floor. The other half was up on
Speaker 2: the ramp and see. I was like, what do I do?
Speaker 2: What am I doing? And I was like, move, just move,
Speaker 2: get out of the way. So she moved out the
Speaker 2: way and then.
Speaker 1: I said, idiot, you're an idiot.
Speaker 2: I cut it down. It wasn't it wasn't graceful, but
Speaker 2: it wasn't right.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't right. Melissa in Meadows.
Speaker 8: I was in the territory at the time, living there,
Speaker 8: and it was the first time I'd ridden the cord
Speaker 8: and we were out bush and we were having to
Speaker 8: put it on to the trailer and my husband I
Speaker 8: went to play my husband, you take it on. He said, Nana,
Speaker 8: she'll be right. You got this, and drove up the
Speaker 8: ramps and wedged myself and my quad in the back
Speaker 8: of my friend's car.
Speaker 1: Now in Salisbury, what happened.
Speaker 6: I was burning some leaves in the backyard of rental
Speaker 6: and my son said that he saw me walking over
Speaker 6: with a petrol can. He goes, Mom, you probably shouldn't
Speaker 6: do that. I don't why, I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 12: She'll be right.
Speaker 6: Then I poured the petrol on green leaves next to
Speaker 6: the bonfire, and it just made this massive explosion, and
Speaker 6: this helicopter came over. I was like, kids, quick, get inside,
Speaker 6: and we went a cave as they took page of
Speaker 6: that town instead. What into the atmosphere that runs windows shook?
Speaker 1: Can leaves explode?
Speaker 2: I mean, why are we using petrol to burn leaves?
Speaker 8: Well, the pile.
Speaker 6: Of green leaves was next to the bonfire, and I
Speaker 6: poured the petrol on the leaves.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why leaves would make such a sound,
Speaker 1: and aren't dry leaves going to burn up quicker, like,
Speaker 1: why would a green lead?
Speaker 6: I know these were green yaka leaves. I was picturing
Speaker 6: raking the leaves into the fire.
Speaker 1: With the petrol and was able to see four under
Speaker 1: the leves.
Speaker 2: We were talking, she'll be right, but she wasn't.
Speaker 1: And we've had one last call that's trickled through from
Speaker 1: Vicky in Parafield Gardens.
Speaker 2: She'll be right, but she wasn't. What happened VICKI, Well,
Speaker 2: it's a story.
Speaker 11: That goes back through the generations. But early in the
Speaker 11: nineteen hundreds, my great grandmother passed and Grandpa went down
Speaker 11: to the funeral home, picked up her ashes and said, oh, look,
Speaker 11: it'll be right. I just put her in the boot.
Speaker 11: You know, at the moment, we'll do with her after well,
Speaker 11: you know, a year or so down the track, he's
Speaker 11: forgotten she's still in the boot. He puts the six
Speaker 11: kids in the back of the car, a couple of dogs,
Speaker 11: and off they go to have a holiday over at
Speaker 11: your peninsula. Before they arrived, the kids are coughing, carrying on.
Speaker 11: Grandma looks behind and she said, you know, what's all
Speaker 11: the fuss about? And I covered in all this ash.
Speaker 11: The earth had come open and all the ashes of
Speaker 11: Grandma had gone everywhere. It was in their hair, some
Speaker 11: of them, you know, had eaten it and every and anyway,
Speaker 11: they get to their destination and Grandma's I'll go get
Speaker 11: the hoover and we'll just clean all up. So they
Speaker 11: vacuum Grandma great Grandma all back into the hoover, and
Speaker 11: and past grandpasses. You know, it'll be right again. We'll
Speaker 11: just still with her after will empty the contents back
Speaker 11: into the urn. But you know, having a large family
Speaker 11: being really busy, everybody just forgot. Grandma continued to use
Speaker 11: the hoover to hoover up to the rest of the house,
Speaker 11: and the kids were making a mess, including the stand
Speaker 11: from the beach. And yeah, and then at the end
Speaker 11: of the trip, Grandma's ashes were disposed off in the
Speaker 11: general waste because so poor great Grandma never ever got
Speaker 11: to be late at rest. Probably ended up in the
Speaker 11: tips somewhere. But but yeah, that.
Speaker 10: Was the story.
Speaker 2: Did he did Great Grandma dirty than laundry?
Speaker 1: Just emptied her out the dice and v eleven with
Speaker 1: some cockroaches, hair and sand right into the bin.
Speaker 2: At least she got to give the great grandkids. One
Speaker 2: last hugg in the car. I suppose yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Carried her.
Speaker 11: They carried her around for a bit longer, didn't they like?
Speaker 2: It was just a comedy of errors because of course
Speaker 2: he forgot they were in the boat. Then you know,
Speaker 2: great grandma goes everywhere. Then they suck it up with
Speaker 2: the hoover. But then they forget that she's in the
Speaker 2: hoover and they continue.
Speaker 1: If the mob killed you, you would have a better
Speaker 1: burial than great grandmother.
Speaker 2: That is, we're.
Speaker 1: Joined now by Margie in Wingfield.
Speaker 2: She'll be right, but she wasn't.
Speaker 9: And we went out dirt by riding and I mean,
Speaker 9: nephew come off his bike and he's all he kept
Speaker 9: saying with me, ankle, my ankle, and we're like, you'll
Speaker 9: be right anyway. We took him to the hospital. We
Speaker 9: break the source disk in his neck.
Speaker 2: Ah. I mean, that's that's he'll be right.
Speaker 1: That's like one of those ones where you could end
Speaker 1: up like a paraplegic or quandtopagic, a pretty serious injury.
Speaker 2: I mean, what end up happening.
Speaker 9: If you'd broken the discup a bit higher, he would
Speaker 9: have been dead.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you will get over it.
Speaker 11: You can't get on with it't back on to.
Speaker 2: The KTM may ring it's gone. You want to be

Speaker 2: your name. I mean, I can do it for you.
Speaker 2: So people listening to this, we'd love to listen to
Speaker 2: our podcast. It's got a bunch of original content in it.
Speaker 2: It's not just the radio show we used to do.
Speaker 2: Team Member of the Week so every single week we
Speaker 2: would vote as a team who was the team member
Speaker 2: of the week. Jender, as a listener of the podcast,
Speaker 2: he kept an extremely detailed spreadsheet how all of the
Speaker 2: winners and losers.
Speaker 1: Probably took me a couple of hours initially, but then
Speaker 1: maintaining it each week was pretty easy.
Speaker 5: But was just doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you had, like you had year's worth of data.
Speaker 1: I think you flew when we're living in Melbourne at
Speaker 1: the time. You flew from Adelaide to Melbourne to present
Speaker 1: the yearly stats. And yeah, you really went the extra mile.

Speaker 8: sixteen quiz for the Disney on Ice Chick.
Speaker 11: I've contributed to the Rumor Meal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Charlotte, you might have to listen for a
Speaker 1: few more weeks to make it to platinum.
Speaker 2: That was borderline demotion.
Speaker 1: That was because you know, it's actually a completely different segment.
Speaker 1: There's something actually it's different, it's quite original. A lot
Speaker 1: of people compliment on us on it. It's quite original.
Speaker 1: It's the gossip Factory only deals in gossip. But thank
Speaker 1: you Charlotte, and look, it's it's hard. I'm willing to
Speaker 1: honor forever gold. It means you cannot be knocked back

Speaker 1: Carol from Mount Pleasant with platinum status?

Speaker 1: job at bringing the mood up.
Speaker 2: Mega Chicken. Sorry, now that's really good. We've got to
Speaker 2: get rid of that's.
Speaker 1: It's confusing, but we do have a live we don't
Speaker 1: have windows in our The studio is nice, but it's
Speaker 1: a little like you don't have natural lights. So Bell
Speaker 1: puts up the town Hall South webcam, which anyone can
Speaker 1: see City Ofvadelaide dot com dot au. But sometimes a
Speaker 1: bird will walk past the camera and it does look
Speaker 1: like Godzilla in Tandana there.
Speaker 2: Which is why Liam said negga chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is funny for us, but I get how
Speaker 1: not funny for you because you don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: I've been booked. Just before this break, he said, we
Speaker 2: need like fifteen second serve.
Speaker 1: Just keep it real tight. Yeah, and now we are
Speaker 1: getting cl us to the two minute mark, still talking
Speaker 1: about giant chickens. But anyway, I hope you're having a
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 2: I really hope that because on the on the Townhill
Speaker 2: South livestream in the top right corner you can see
Speaker 2: the amount of viewers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, only only four people watching.
Speaker 2: I hope in the next couple of minutes a couple
Speaker 2: of people log on to see Megachi if.
Speaker 1: You if you want the gag to hit, as I said,
Speaker 1: Cityfadelaide dot com dot auport slash webcams townholl South is
Speaker 1: the one with a giant bird's book past.
Speaker 2: We want to talk proposals right now because thanks to
Speaker 2: Gerard McKay creating unforgettable moments worth saying yes too, we've
Speaker 2: got an eight thousand dollars engagement ring to give away
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of cash, and Ben and I
Speaker 1: are going to be involved with the proposal in the
Speaker 1: sense of like the planning and making sure it's perfect,
Speaker 1: like it's we're not going.
Speaker 2: To be doing it for you. Yeah, if you want
Speaker 2: the ring, you can register kiss one O two three
Speaker 2: dot com dot au.
Speaker 1: But right now we just want to want to hear
Speaker 1: people's stories. Do you both feel like we nailed it?
Speaker 1: I surprised Sarah weekend away for her birthday was on
Speaker 1: this cliff face in Monash, this nice st of Airbnb,
Speaker 1: took a leaf out of your book, had a private chef.
Speaker 2: So she was like, dressed for.
Speaker 1: Dinner and she's like, where are we going to be
Speaker 1: going for dinner? In the riverland? Like we're in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. But little did she know that dinner
Speaker 1: was coming to us.
Speaker 2: There was such an expensive choice on my behalf because
Speaker 2: you know, I really hope that in my lifetime I
Speaker 2: don't even have to hire a private chef one if.
Speaker 2: If you're ever going to do it, it's the you know,
Speaker 2: it's like, let's do something special. And the way it
Speaker 2: works is they charge you per head. But because with
Speaker 2: my wife Sam, I did it in front of all
Speaker 2: of her extended family and it was a big celebration,
Speaker 2: I paid for every single relative to enjoy in the
Speaker 2: food on offer, and so I got charged per head.
Speaker 2: I made sure we were really alone. Yeah, it's cost
Speaker 2: cutting ing my friends.
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Maz in the news room, I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: asked you, but were you happy with you with your proposals?
Speaker 2: That nailed?
Speaker 3: It was pretty good.
Speaker 13: It was on a secluded island in Borneo, good stuff,
Speaker 13: and we hadn't been together very long, about over a year,
Speaker 13: and so I had no idea and I actually thought
Speaker 13: he was just being an idiot because he's a bit
Speaker 13: of a pranks to my husband, a bit of a joker.
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, whatever, you know, can.
Speaker 3: You stop being streaming?
Speaker 8: He's like.
Speaker 1: Stressful, stressful when they're laughing, going, oh yes, good joke.
Speaker 1: But of course it's a real proposal.
Speaker 2: And then eventually you said yes.
Speaker 13: I said yes, and then I was like, Okay, let's
Speaker 13: get married next week.
Speaker 2: Let's do it. I've got it all planned already. I
Speaker 2: won't name them, Liam, but we have a friend who
Speaker 2: used to comp a bit from his partner about how
Speaker 2: he did the proposal because he had it all planned out.
Speaker 2: We're going to do it in Bali and then got
Speaker 2: real nervous and I was doing it at the hotel
Speaker 2: before they got to the destination where he was planning
Speaker 2: on doing it. Yeah, so I think that was always
Speaker 2: a kind He just did it to get it out
Speaker 2: of the way, just went early, early doors. So I'd
Speaker 2: say that's more in the failed territory.
Speaker 1: Nailed or failed Sandra in Holden Hill, did they nail?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 12: We nailed it all right, fantastic. Well, my husband now
Speaker 12: proposed to me. He cooked a special dinner all by
Speaker 12: himself from scratch, got down on one knee, proposed Yep,
Speaker 12: all went good. He had on trouble getting back up.
Speaker 12: He had a full on medical episode. His knee decided
Speaker 12: to give away on him.
Speaker 2: Oh no, but no, they all went well.
Speaker 12: In the end, and we've been married fifteen years this year.
Speaker 2: Wow, how old was he when he proposed?
Speaker 12: Let's see, he about forty close to fifty, okay, right,
Speaker 12: and the sporting career.
Speaker 1: I mean, surely you need shouldn't get out of you
Speaker 1: in your mid forties.
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, Sandra, for getting involved with this one

Speaker 2: dollars tolls voucher. Thank you very much, Hey, thank you?

Speaker 7: So me and my boyfriend at the time, we've been
Speaker 7: together for quite a while, and we went for a
Speaker 7: really beautiful lunch that day and then come a few
Speaker 7: hours later at night time, we ended up with food
Speaker 7: poisoning and we only had one bathroom, one toilet house
Speaker 7: and so we were literally like back and forth taking turns.
Speaker 7: It was honestly horrible. And we're breath wine in bed, sweating,
Speaker 7: looking up hot messes. And he just turned to me
Speaker 7: and he said, I've never been through anything like this
Speaker 7: with anyone. You look so stunning. Will you marry me?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 1: Lost machine over your head after spending eight hours straddling
Speaker 1: the porcelain.
Speaker 2: Good on your age. I'll let you make your mind
Speaker 2: up whether that was a fail or a nail.
Speaker 1: If it's a nail for you, who are we to
Speaker 1: say it's a fail. Now I'm going to ask you something, Ben,
Speaker 1: I'm only going to ask you at once. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable asking you, but I just need to
Speaker 1: know the truth.
Speaker 2: Okay, Absolutely, you.
Speaker 1: Left work early yesterday for a family emergency.
Speaker 2: Well, I finished the show.
Speaker 1: You did finish the show, but then you left straight
Speaker 1: off the show. Now was it a family emergency or
Speaker 1: did you just have to drive across town to pick
Speaker 1: something up from Facebook marketplace? It was a real family
Speaker 1: everyone's okay. No, I won't I won't cry anymore.
Speaker 2: But I did leave work early because I had to
Speaker 2: go home help my wife. Out gin. Our daughter got
Speaker 2: a little finger stuck in the door. She's okay.
Speaker 1: The reason, the reason I am.
Speaker 2: After that, okay, once everything simmered down and everyone was okay,
Speaker 2: after you got back from the hospital, I nipped off
Speaker 2: to myrow bridge and got some fruit trees.
Speaker 1: Really, really, a day goes by without you picking up
Speaker 1: some junk.
Speaker 2: It's not junk, mate, it's fruit trees.
Speaker 1: How much were they It was a great deal. Actually, yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: because no one actually wants it.
Speaker 2: I had it saved in my favorites for a long time,
Speaker 2: and they were sitting there for a while. And then
Speaker 2: because I had it saved in my favorites, I got
Speaker 2: a notification that they dropped the price from two fifty
Speaker 2: to one hundred, and I got an Atherton raspberry, a
Speaker 2: golden raspberry, a yellow raspberry, a red raspberry, two boys
Speaker 2: and berries, a tayberry, which is a cross between a
Speaker 2: BlackBerry and a raspberry, have a pino plant, a pomegranite,
Speaker 2: red currant bush, BlackBerry, and a dragon for a tree.
Speaker 2: But this was after the family emergency. After the emergency
Speaker 2: was sworded. Okay, are you picking anything up today? If
Speaker 2: you must know?
Speaker 1: He genuinely picks something up every day.
Speaker 2: Well, I get stuff on the way home, so if
Speaker 2: it's between work and where I live, I will stop
Speaker 2: off and get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Murray Bridge is not on the way home.
Speaker 2: That was a bit of an inconvenience.
Speaker 1: Where are you going today?
Speaker 2: Mile end? For what? Some red bricks?
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to say exactly. Otherway someone might sweep
Speaker 1: in and still get the bridge before you can finish.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I've locked this one in. They are free.
Speaker 1: Are you going to? My question is are you going
Speaker 1: to use all this stuff for? You're just going to
Speaker 1: end up with one of those homes that you drive
Speaker 1: past Sometimes they got like four cars out the front
Speaker 1: and there's like long grass and they're just like collecting
Speaker 1: something for I just not Yeah, I might use that
Speaker 1: seventh couch one day.
Speaker 2: It's the way I've been raised is that you know,
Speaker 2: if you see value, you grab it and then you'll
Speaker 2: use it somewhere?
Speaker 1: Will you though more stuff than I'm kind of anti stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't really like stuff. But then next time you
Speaker 2: need red bricks, mate, you haven't got any When I
Speaker 2: need a red brick. The way you live, but I
Speaker 2: want to live out on a farm and I want
Speaker 2: to be the way you live. Your life's come back,
Speaker 2: it's the way you live. And I want to have
Speaker 2: red bricks in my shed so that when I need
Speaker 2: to do a little path, I've got the bricks and
Speaker 2: red bricks. Right, they're two bucks of brick on marketplace.
Speaker 2: People sell them for two bucks of brick. Now maybe
Speaker 2: they won't get two bucks. Maybe they get dollar fifty
Speaker 2: dollars of steel. People, though sometimes it's quite rare, they
Speaker 2: give away red bricks because they don't want them. And
Speaker 2: if you're getting quick enough, there's one hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: four red bricks here. That's one hundred and sixty four
Speaker 2: dollars free red bricks. And it's on the way home
Speaker 2: that you have to store and keep. I've got twenty
Speaker 2: one acres. I've got plenty of space. All right.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll never understand it. But up next, I have
Speaker 1: a new game. And I think you were like this game.
Speaker 1: It's called cash or Pass. You've heard a smashb pass.

Speaker 1: What about this aircraft propeller in Mitcham someone. I don't
Speaker 1: know how they've got it. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: falling off.
Speaker 2: I have no need for that. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: You're not really doing a great okay, well whatever. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to trying to just get a bit of a
Speaker 1: vibe for what you want, because I thought you'd love
Speaker 1: all this stuff so far.
Speaker 2: What about this? What about this Clo Park worm farm?
Speaker 2: A yeah, I'll take that one. It's some worm juice.
Speaker 2: We'll let Jason know.
Speaker 1: Just going off the other things that you're saying you
Speaker 1: probably won't want this. This is from Anthony World Wrestling
Speaker 1: Federation Pile Driver album VHS.
Speaker 2: No I don't want that. Can I show you my
Speaker 2: short list on Marketplace?
Speaker 1: All right, I'm just going to show you two more things,
Speaker 1: because now I think I'm starting to zero in. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of some of the more gimmicky stuff.
Speaker 1: Free garden River rocks in Ridge Aven, I'll take that.
Speaker 1: I thought so one dollar here for timber, a sort
Speaker 1: of timber and PBC pipe take that says it says free,
Speaker 1: but must take all.
Speaker 2: That's the ways to catch Okay, So I get it.
Speaker 1: So you're basically just picking up rocks, scrap timber. I'm
Speaker 1: getting the vibe that you don't really like paying for
Speaker 1: things you're looking for.
Speaker 2: It's a lot, it's a sort of Now just to pan,
Speaker 2: I mean, i'll show you my shortlist. So here, I've
Speaker 2: got like a nineteen fifty six David Brown eighteen eighty tractor.
Speaker 2: That's three grand. I'd consider that. Two hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: bucks for a Honda generator that's pretty good. One hundred
Speaker 2: bucks for some Turkish stone slabs and they're throwing some
Speaker 2: extra offcuts. See this is pretty good for me.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that, and that has the same value
Speaker 1: to me as the Saddam Hussein toilet paper. I can't
Speaker 1: differentiate for me. That's all I know.
Speaker 2: You're feeling junk to my eye. I don't want any
Speaker 2: of it. You have to have the eye for it
Speaker 2: for sure. Okay, it is officially census week. It needs
Speaker 2: to be completed, but Tuesday, the eleventh of August.
Speaker 1: So I realize I've never done one before. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just thirty. I suppose the like twenty sixteen was
Speaker 1: the last time one was around, which was my last
Speaker 1: year living at home before I moved over to Sydney
Speaker 1: with you, Ben.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was every ten years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I've realized, Oh yeah, I don't think I've
Speaker 1: ever done it. So it's you know, obviously you're answering
Speaker 1: all the questions how many people in the household, how
Speaker 1: many languages you speak, and the government pretend that they
Speaker 1: don't already know everything about you like I do. Five
Speaker 1: times a day you fart, and.
Speaker 2: I do find it crazy that we have to go
Speaker 2: and fill out this information when they already.
Speaker 1: Know you've seen three you scan my face at Cole's.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing, you know what I'm buying.
Speaker 1: But we've asked thirteen one oh sixty five for you
Speaker 1: to call up. We have a simple yes or no
Speaker 1: question because we're just we're just having Census chat together
Speaker 1: this morning, so we're just going to rattle through. Carla
Speaker 1: in Redwood Park, Yes or no? Can you get fined
Speaker 1: for not doing the Census?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Gizell. Do you think you can get fined if not
Speaker 2: doing the Census? There, Gazelle. Yes, can you get fined
Speaker 2: for not doing the Census?
Speaker 13: Yes?
Speaker 2: Grace in Ross Trevor, can you be fine for not
Speaker 2: doing the Census? I'm going to say yes, Samantha, yes
Speaker 2: or no? What do you reckon?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: You can? Amelia?
Speaker 2: Yes or no?
Speaker 1: Surely you can't be fine if not doing the census?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: All right, good on you, Amelia. Sue in Bellevue Heights
Speaker 2: juinsas Now, can you be fined for not doing the Census?
Speaker 7: I think you can?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, So it seems like an overwhelming number of people
Speaker 2: are saying yes and Amelia was just doing a thing.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: The reason we bring this up is because Liam, and
Speaker 2: I had no idea until this morning. You can be
Speaker 2: fined for not doing it. I thought you could just
Speaker 2: opt out and not do it. But no, if you
Speaker 2: don't do that census, right, get this, The fine is
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty four dollars a day until you comply.
Speaker 1: You hearing that, Carla and Redwood Park the only other
Speaker 1: person who thought you couldn't get fined. You hear in that,
Speaker 1: lad and clear, Oh my god.
Speaker 7: I'm going to do it straightaway, three sixty four dollars.
Speaker 1: Then was paying his wife out for doing the census
Speaker 1: when he got home, and she's saying, I have to
Speaker 1: do it. I have to do it.
Speaker 2: And he was telling me this story and I was
Speaker 2: laughing like a yeah, like as if you have to
Speaker 2: do the census because I.
Speaker 1: Thought it was like an optional thing. I didn't think
Speaker 1: it was like voting. Apparently you have to do it.
Speaker 2: And that's the wild thing, is right. It's a fine
Speaker 2: of three hundred and sixty four dollars every day until
Speaker 2: you comply, and there is no cap demounts. It doesn't
Speaker 2: cap out at ten grand. It just keeps going out
Speaker 2: until you do it. More than that, it is resolved
Speaker 2: in court.
Speaker 1: Also false information. If there's three people in your house,
Speaker 1: but you say there's two, you could get a fine
Speaker 1: up to three thousand, six hundred and forty dollar.
Speaker 2: Lying on the census. I thought the whole thing was.
Speaker 2: It was like people would fill it out and it
Speaker 2: be funny because they'd say what's your religion and you'd
Speaker 2: say Jedi. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure, like ten
Speaker 2: percent of people in the last one said they were Jedis.
Speaker 2: You know, you know when you.
Speaker 1: Like you finish, if you call, like you're trying to
Speaker 1: fix your phone plan or your internet or whatever, and
Speaker 1: they're just like, oh, thanks for help them. Quite often
Speaker 1: they're not super helpful, yeah, but they go, hey, can
Speaker 1: you just hang around for a quick survey, and you
Speaker 1: go yeah, sure, and then as soon as they click
Speaker 1: you over, you hang up. I thought that's what the
Speaker 1: census was like. I thought that the nation's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you mun just answer a few questions for something. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. Yeah, as if it was
Speaker 1: for the big nerds. Yeah, but no, apparently guys getting
Speaker 1: fined if you don't do it. So I'd get to it,
Speaker 1: all right, you got to do it fivey eleven, Yes, one.
Speaker 2: Two, three.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Ben, I'm gonna have to stop you there. An
Speaker 1: urgent call has just come through from the customer service

Speaker 1: Here's what we know so far. It's on a glass pane.
Speaker 1: It's translucent. You can see it with your own eyes.
Speaker 1: Ben and Lamb on the socials, there is also a
Speaker 1: clue from Paul Hogan.
Speaker 2: I don't have that anymore. Wonderful disappeared off my sound
Speaker 2: effect ball.
Speaker 1: Oh I couldn't see why you would need it again.
Speaker 1: So that's fine, ahh. But yeah, it's him saying like,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of shrimps on the barbie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then there's also this sound ash in Andrews Farm.
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? What do you think it is.
Speaker 7: I re sliced potato cooked on the barbie, sliced.
Speaker 1: Potato cooked on the barbie, so obviously that you know
Speaker 1: it ties into the barbie thing.
Speaker 2: How does it tie to this?
Speaker 9: Well, traditionally.
Speaker 7: The I'm not only mad, but traditionally on the Shepherds.
Speaker 11: Kai, it is mashed potato or potato.
Speaker 1: Shepherds Bye, okay, I see you a shepherd Ye. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it could could make that sort of stain,
Speaker 1: but it is not that. Unfortunately, Theresa and Marston. Have
Speaker 1: you seen the stain I have? Okay, what do you
Speaker 1: think it is?
Speaker 8: I think it's mashed.
Speaker 1: Sorry, sometimes we play with that food. Other times we
Speaker 1: put you out of you.
Speaker 2: I like, quite often we'll draw it out. But I
Speaker 2: just didn't want to muck you around.
Speaker 10: Yeah that's all good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay, because we're not in the business and
Speaker 1: mucking people around. So please try as many times as
Speaker 1: you would like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can play as many times as you'd like.
Speaker 2: As Liam just said, it is not mashed. At Banana
Speaker 2: eight am tomorrow we play again on Kiss and we
Speaker 2: are back. Yeah. So yeah.
Speaker 1: Touching on what Belle was saying, quite often she'll be like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, Hospital Research, Foundation of responsor show Ben, can
Speaker 1: we just get a credit away here? And he'll buzz
Speaker 1: back really quicks But I won't do that well, and
Speaker 1: then will he will? He will still do it, but
Speaker 1: he likes having the satisfaction of saying like, no, he
Speaker 1: did do exactly.
Speaker 2: That frustrates me because I used to not do them
Speaker 2: sometimes because I used to run off of the physical
Speaker 2: run shitt and yeah, I'd miss them all the time.
Speaker 2: Whereas now I'm living in twenty twenty six, I've got
Speaker 2: all data open and it's all digital, and I know
Speaker 2: that I will get it done without the reminders. So
Speaker 2: when I get a reminder, it's like, I know I'm
Speaker 2: going to do it, but I'm doing my job.
Speaker 3: I got you.
Speaker 5: I'm being your safety net just in case so that
Speaker 5: you and I and we all don't get a little
Speaker 5: slap on the wrist that we didn't do all the mentions.
Speaker 3: But also in case, like I'm doing it. If it's
Speaker 3: like eight o'clock and we've.
Speaker 2: Only got one away so far, for hours to get
Speaker 2: them done, I know, but I'm.
Speaker 3: Just saying that, Hey, like we're getting towards.
Speaker 2: The end here. I don't know what it is about it.
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, I won't do it.
Speaker 2: And I'll say if I ever if I and I'll
Speaker 2: say this on a record. If I get to the
Speaker 2: end of a show and this is only applied to
Speaker 2: the breakfast sponsorship credits, if I get to the end
Speaker 2: of a show and I haven't done all three, I
Speaker 2: will accept the strike on the chin.
Speaker 3: So not even like the last break What do you mean,
Speaker 3: like I gotta wait till it's actually good?
Speaker 2: Way to the till it's ten. When we're recording podcasts,
Speaker 2: if I've missed one, I'll cop that on the chin
Speaker 2: and get a strike.
Speaker 3: Can I remind you at nine?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: So then what happens there, Ben is that's all fun
Speaker 5: and games for you. But then it's also it's on
Speaker 5: me that I didn't remind you and we didn't.
Speaker 2: Get We do make goods the next day, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Does that? Is how last day you get the satisfaction
Speaker 2: of giving me a strike.
Speaker 3: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: You're not missing I weren't missed, and then we'll make
Speaker 2: goods to make goods, well, we always do.
Speaker 5: What I will say is the last station we're atry
Speaker 5: cowboy attitude.
Speaker 3: They were just whatever, we'll work it out later.
Speaker 2: Here, cowboy, hire a bunch of new team you're fired.
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly who Here, everyone really likes to play by
Speaker 5: the rules, and they really like to yeah, so you
Speaker 5: can't not us. Maybe back in the day, listeners who
Speaker 5: have listened for ages would remember Macy Macy just she'd go, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 5: give away five hundred bucks, I don't care, I'll work
Speaker 5: it out. Yeah you want to do that whatever, who cares?
Speaker 5: Whereas here it's just everyone likes.
Speaker 2: To do it properly, play by the rules.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I came in and said we'll do it
Speaker 5: later everyone, But that's not how it works.
Speaker 2: The rule is now that you don't have to remind me.
Speaker 2: And if I do miss one, I get a strike
Speaker 2: and I can't get out. There's no family shield. Excuse aloud? Jeez,
Speaker 2: is that the one?
Speaker 1: That's the one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I won't penetrable force, I won't forget to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Also maybe, and I would say I'm guilty here of
Speaker 2: enjoying the smell of my own brew. But I just
Speaker 2: wanted to read out from our group chat yesterday, which
Speaker 2: I found quite fun. Liam posted in there a funny picture.
Speaker 2: It's actually from the University of Adelaide where on the
Speaker 2: show guys sitting at a table. This is like a
Speaker 2: promotional It went viral, but it's like an Adelaide University.
Speaker 2: A guy sitting at a table and he looks like
Speaker 2: he's man's planning because there's a table of women sitting
Speaker 2: around looking disinterested in what he's saying. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Board, it's a massive billboard. Yeah, but it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's yeah. The five women around him, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god.
Speaker 2: It was just like stop in the back of their heads.
Speaker 2: And then the thing says apparently you can do a
Speaker 2: master's in Man's Planning now. And then Liam posted that
Speaker 2: and said lo mainly because it was Adelaide University.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking, oh, that's probably something we can
Speaker 1: talk about on the on the show at some.
Speaker 2: Point, and then Belle replied, oh my god, I just
Speaker 2: saw this too, and then I replied, the reason why
Speaker 2: this is funny, Belle is because it looks like the
Speaker 2: man's explaining everything to the ladies. You already know what's
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 1: You get it to get it, bill because he was.
Speaker 2: You get one that's funny.
Speaker 1: We can explain it if you want.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I did see that before you put it
Speaker 5: in the chat, like five minutes before on Insta, and
Speaker 5: I thought it was really funny.
Speaker 2: But I was like, nah, is it too You gonna
Speaker 2: have the eye for it?
Speaker 3: Hey, No, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: I just didn't put in the chat because I was like, mister,
Speaker 5: it was funny.
Speaker 1: Before we were talking a wonderful back. Moore's been filling
Speaker 1: in for Burdo doing the show after us the last
Speaker 1: few days. She was talking about Ally McBeal. Never heard
Speaker 1: of that before. She was like, you know, callister Flockhart.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're just saying words at me at
Speaker 1: this point. But it was like a nineties sitcom, so
Speaker 1: it's a bit before our time. And and I was
Speaker 1: trying to work out who I'd never seen. She was like,
Speaker 1: you would know her, you've seen her, and I was
Speaker 1: looking up clister Fockhart and I couldn't. I was like,
Speaker 1: I've never seen this woman in my life. And then
Speaker 1: I said, oh, she's married to Harrison Ford and she said, well,
Speaker 1: we don't judge women by fine, we don't define women
Speaker 1: by who they're married to. And I bit my time
Speaker 1: because I was like, okay, fair, but in my head
Speaker 1: I was like, well, he's Indiana Jones, she's Allan, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, Like I you know, I
Speaker 1: think on that he's harm Solo, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: she's Calester Flockhart. So on this particular time, I think
Speaker 1: we can we can say that person is a lot
Speaker 1: more famous and it.
Speaker 2: Goes both ways, right because and I don't know what
Speaker 2: the guy's name is, but he's married to is Miranda
Speaker 2: Kerr the snapchat person?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah?
Speaker 2: So if he ever came someone's like that, such a
Speaker 2: married to Miranda Kerr, I would.
Speaker 5: Say the guy that actor guy, the blonde guy who's
Speaker 5: married to Kirsten Dunce.
Speaker 1: Great one, oh great, like good guy Damon, Yes he
Speaker 1: married to yeah mess Damon looks like brother and sister
Speaker 1: Jesse Clemmons.
Speaker 3: I think his name is right, guy from Breaking Bad,
Speaker 3: isn't he.
Speaker 1: He's in a new movie called bug Ownier, the one
Speaker 1: where Emma Stone has shaped head.
Speaker 2: He's really good in uh The Game Night.
Speaker 1: Great that was like pretty late in the piece for
Speaker 1: like comedy movies, like it's probably around yeah still probably
Speaker 1: twenty ten ISHU. But it was when they certainly started
Speaker 1: chugging down and they're not making them as much. But
Speaker 1: that was a very I actually kind of want to want.
Speaker 2: To watch that movie. Kind of write that down.
Speaker 1: Watching Games, he's like.
Speaker 2: The psycho neighbor character. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anything with Jason Bateman's normally pretty good.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, tell me about it.
Speaker 1: I watched Games now, all right, that's going to be
Speaker 1: a movie night next weekend. I was just sorry, what
Speaker 1: I have to say is not important, but I just
Speaker 1: saw the podcast was called Mega Chicken, and then it
Speaker 1: reminded me of the show Robot Chicken.
Speaker 2: Do you remember what did you guys.
Speaker 1: Watch robot Chicken?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was on Cutting Network.
Speaker 1: It was like the funniest thing at the time by
Speaker 1: Seeth Green, who's Scott Evil in Austin Power.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's what Evil like like.
Speaker 1: You don't get it, scart zipp it. Yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 1: made he made robot Chicken.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a real person's name.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just a song Seth Green.
Speaker 3: Oh no, sorry, I thought Scott Green.
Speaker 1: It's confusing because Seth Green plays Scott Evil.
Speaker 2: That's how you got because some people, I would imagine
Speaker 2: what we're talking about right now, would be like a.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure if that's me, fister flock, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Robot Chicken, Seth Green. You don't know Seth Green' scot evil.
Speaker 2: Zip it scot.
Speaker 3: That's that's my day.
Speaker 2: You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't get it?
Speaker 2: Do you? Scat? Is that scuddy do?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Scuddy? Wait? Great movie?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: I don't speak freaky diggy Dutch.
Speaker 3: Look at me, ah that you keep it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is heaps of Podsquad stuff if you're going
Speaker 2: to start chugging through it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is because obviously we also, as you would
Speaker 5: have heard just now or if you listen this morning
Speaker 5: to the show, platinum was really yep.
Speaker 1: Platinum has been released.
Speaker 2: Spenetti has posted in the pod Squad about that if
Speaker 2: you want to get to it, Benny, you'll be, You'll be.
Speaker 2: We just need to annoint to you your platinum in
Speaker 2: mine book, Bennetty, your platinum. Benetti has said, so happy
Speaker 2: for party Marti and Anna at stage the prize mode
Speaker 2: for platinum status. It's exciting that the floodgates are now open.
Speaker 2: I must say, the pretty inconsistent rules for loyal, long
Speaker 2: time interstate listeners with receipts to achieve platinum, if it
Speaker 2: includes flights to Essay to collect it. You don't need
Speaker 2: a calm brother. You're platinum, you're in the highest tier.
Speaker 2: You're in.
Speaker 1: If you want to fly over, the lounge will be
Speaker 1: open for you.
Speaker 2: But there is no need for you to do that.
Speaker 1: And of course there is probably a long list of
Speaker 1: people that need to be in platinum. But as we've
Speaker 1: said many a time, you've got to bear with us
Speaker 1: call centers working as hard as they can, and they're
Speaker 1: very busy, they're very clogged up at the moment. And look,
Speaker 1: they will be recording your calls for customer care, so
Speaker 1: that's something you need to opt in or out for.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well we'll speak to the call center and
Speaker 1: just let them know that we need a Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need to get it moving. And I'm sure I would
Speaker 1: say between we should have this job done within two
Speaker 1: to three business days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there are and and and our production department
Speaker 2: is working on getting physical cards made up to.
Speaker 3: It's weird the call center of the production team. It's
Speaker 3: almost like I do the same thing.
Speaker 2: What WILEMA need to do is actually sit down with
Speaker 2: the whole team, whole company whole company and sit down
Speaker 2: with them and be like, hey, let's really work together
Speaker 2: here to be actually nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be good to get a bit.
Speaker 2: Of what's it called in company talk, No when they
Speaker 2: like like KPIs like no, no, no, the thing where
Speaker 2: they streamline with like vertical integration, let's get let's get
Speaker 2: some vertical integration going between the production team, the call center,
Speaker 2: graphics department, and.
Speaker 1: Just to make them more customers, just let all the
Speaker 1: people in those teams know that hey, you're you're a
Speaker 1: valued member of the company.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but cut out any unnecessary meetings and just start
Speaker 2: vertically integrating what needs to be done.
Speaker 1: I imagine us sort of Ben and I are both
Speaker 1: having mcdonnamites, might have to organize that bell and and
Speaker 1: we're just sort of.
Speaker 3: Call the call center.
Speaker 1: And we're just speaking to the entire company, big auditorium there.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the team, Ben and Liam.
Speaker 2: Ben and Liam.
Speaker 1: The loyalty program. So you're probably asking yourself in the
Speaker 1: new financial year, what is our company strategy? And then
Speaker 1: click over to the next light, and then we've sort
Speaker 1: of got we're going to be investing.
Speaker 2: What are we wearing?
Speaker 1: I probably like turtlenecks like Steve Jobs style. We're going
Speaker 1: to be investing more and more into our listeners. We're
Speaker 1: going to try and drive up the loyalty program numbers
Speaker 1: by three and fifty percent, and that is going to
Speaker 1: be a year on year increase, which brings us to
Speaker 1: the next slide ten year plan being muyalty program. How
Speaker 1: are we going to do this? Harder work from you,
Speaker 1: but we respect you all. Thank you.
Speaker 2: You're a huge team. Maybe you'll be all getting a
Speaker 2: Christmas bonus. Yeah, if you meet your KPIs.
Speaker 3: Eating Okay, well, Christmas bonus.
Speaker 2: Eating oats I have. I've dug into the numbers here
Speaker 2: and I'm just going to flag a couple of things
Speaker 2: that I think is slowing down production next slide. Eating
Speaker 2: bananas and oats from the work kitchen slowing us down serious.
Speaker 1: Right now, having half days on Fridays to catch early flights.
Speaker 2: Slowing down down. Interstate travel in general should be banned,
Speaker 2: should be banned, should be flagged with the company. And
Speaker 2: uh yeah, taking personal calls during show preyper.
Speaker 1: Blowing company down, that's not personal call.
Speaker 3: That was not a personal call.
Speaker 5: I had to help Chelsea, our old producer on the
Speaker 5: show that she produces now, and she asked very kindly
Speaker 5: if I could help.
Speaker 2: Her, is it directly? Does it directly make our show better?
Speaker 3: It doesn't.
Speaker 1: But this isn't directed at you. We just mean it
Speaker 1: like this is company.
Speaker 3: Fifty split personalities.
Speaker 2: I have company wide, but don't feel singled out by well.
Speaker 3: No, I don't at all.
Speaker 5: So when I'm sitting solo in the room and you
Speaker 5: guys are in your freaking turtlenecks with your Madonna mine,
Speaker 5: we'll get it.
Speaker 3: And you're saying, ah, there's no it's just we'll get
Speaker 3: to you with.
Speaker 2: Your personal performance plan. I mean leaving on the process
Speaker 2: of just finalizing your PIP.
Speaker 1: So we'll go like something else, something else. We've noticed
Speaker 1: this year alone in the customer service teams the most
Speaker 1: sick days of anyone in the company. Now that's a
Speaker 1: damning stat.
Speaker 5: You know. You laugh about this, this porridge and banana thing.
Speaker 5: But Ben literally during the show this morning at six o'clock,
Speaker 5: typed through to my computer stop eating your banana.
Speaker 2: A lunch break Before we started the break, you buzzed
Speaker 2: through and said, can I get a credit for the
Speaker 2: hospital research? And I edited, annoyed me and so I
Speaker 2: had to write something in the chat box. You wouldn't
Speaker 2: catch Michael Jordan eating a banana during the game, would you.
Speaker 3: They eat in their breaks. We are you talking about
Speaker 3: the running? The quiz was going, all the callers were prepped.
Speaker 3: I took a bite out of my banana.
Speaker 2: When I called lemon and I called time out. That's
Speaker 2: when you can have your porridge.
Speaker 3: What the hell?
Speaker 2: Because we're all working together.
Speaker 1: We're working together.
Speaker 2: Me the unified vision. We need you and the only
Speaker 2: way we're going to do this is together. Because the
Speaker 2: rest of the team sees your vibe. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Vibe lead from the front. Yeah, like the calls,
Speaker 2: the rest of the call center see your attitudes.
Speaker 1: There is no one else because if people in the
Speaker 1: call center are like, oh, well they've had a sick
Speaker 1: day one, what's stopping me from having a sick day
Speaker 1: next week when I feel like it?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: For the work part of this year, we should like
Speaker 2: say thank you to all the employees of the company.
Speaker 2: Should we do like a rent out a hall or
Speaker 2: something like that, Well, it was probably not one big enough.
Speaker 1: We might have to do forgot Sydney ICC. Yeah, convention could.
Speaker 2: Do something outside or something like that. Teamercis he's real back.
Speaker 5: To platinum chat for some people in the pod squad, Sure,
Speaker 5: how do we feel about Locky Braid?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course Platinum sound the alarm, He's I mean.
Speaker 1: Lockeye and Nathan literally did a podcast in all of
Speaker 1: our absence when we were when we had the short
Speaker 1: five month stint off the radio.
Speaker 2: Kid bit on the pod squad from Locke who said,
Speaker 2: yesterday is stalactight and stalagmite chat. Someone told me a
Speaker 2: trick to help remember, and I've never forgotten it. Stalactights
Speaker 2: equals tights because hang on to the roof tight, so
Speaker 2: on the roof is salact tight because it's tight on
Speaker 2: the roof. Stalag might might because they might reach the
Speaker 2: roof one day. That's actually a good way of great tip.
Speaker 2: That is a great tip.
Speaker 3: You're still saying it weird.
Speaker 2: And in the comments he said, I've always remembered it
Speaker 2: by doing stalac tight with the sea cea for ceiling,
Speaker 2: stalag mighte gie for ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I must have been wagging that d kidnaped ever
Speaker 1: wagged in my life. I must have been vaguing out
Speaker 1: during that lesson.
Speaker 3: Because you went through a cave.
Speaker 2: What we learned about.
Speaker 1: Stalactites and stalagmites, because I don't I didn't really retain
Speaker 1: that information.
Speaker 2: Oh, we went to the caves and of course you.
Speaker 1: You would have, Yeah, you would have. They would have
Speaker 1: taken you deep sea cave diving in the Mouthea Coast.
Speaker 3: We went through the caves.
Speaker 1: Yes, what was the best school trip your school did?
Speaker 2: Out of interest?
Speaker 3: Probably the whole term where we live in a house
Speaker 3: by ourselves.
Speaker 2: What do you mean I've told you about this?
Speaker 3: We go in year nine, they send you off into
Speaker 3: the abyss for a term, but like.
Speaker 2: Ten weeks, yes, and you go seriously without your family
Speaker 2: and your night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually learn.
Speaker 3: How to fend for yourself.
Speaker 5: But it was you guys know Amanda, it was her
Speaker 5: and I and three other girls in our house.
Speaker 1: And we just where are we talking about in the world.
Speaker 3: Obviously there's a very very very eastern point of Victoria.
Speaker 3: So you go right to the Tippi Point ten weeks.
Speaker 5: Ten weeks and you have to you have to help
Speaker 5: the carves give birth, and you learn about sewerage and
Speaker 5: solar panels and the environment and composting.
Speaker 1: I would hate that.
Speaker 5: And then they take you for runs like twice a week.
Speaker 5: You to go for like five and ten k runs.
Speaker 2: This is this like a like Melbourne schools did that?
Speaker 2: Or is it like at Ritzy.
Speaker 3: School the schools do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so some of the boys schools go elsewhere girls
Speaker 5: schools go.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that was fress me, Like I you know, I
Speaker 1: suppose if you had like your best mates, but if
Speaker 1: you've got a group that you weren't like that keen
Speaker 1: on and you had to do ten weeks away.
Speaker 2: From like.
Speaker 5: That in year nine, Remember I told you there was
Speaker 5: a girl that did a ship on our verandah and
Speaker 5: then we evicted her.
Speaker 3: And then she went on The Bachelor that was on that.
Speaker 2: I could see it being character building that being away
Speaker 2: from home.
Speaker 3: I guess I loved it. Some girls were crying and
Speaker 3: then it's the family and I was like, this is.
Speaker 2: Had a secure attachment. I suppose exactly.
Speaker 3: Whereas I was, I remember, get my.
Speaker 2: I remember all of this. Yes, I had a cool
Speaker 2: memory unlocked. Recently with my wife Sam for some reason. Oh,
Speaker 2: we were taking a single egg.
Speaker 1: He said it kind of like that, didn't hell And
Speaker 1: I just eyes it was like because you said it quick.
Speaker 2: With a map, it was a little bit. We had
Speaker 2: a single egg with us and we took it to
Speaker 2: her parents' house because we knew they didn't have eggs
Speaker 2: at the time. Anyway, we had we had an egg
Speaker 2: with us in the car and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this reminds me of like when I was in primary
Speaker 2: school and they gave us an egg and you had
Speaker 2: to look after it for forty out hours and you
Speaker 2: couldn't break it. Yeah, because when you haven't got an egg,
Speaker 2: when you've got an egg in your hand, it's a
Speaker 2: bit like a baby because you're like, well, I can't
Speaker 2: just put it on the.
Speaker 1: Flogs it'll break mase hard boiler.
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, you could, but then that you would
Speaker 2: fail and then you would said, well, how do you
Speaker 2: know that you wouldn't just get a fresh egg at
Speaker 2: the end of the two days, And I said, well,
Speaker 2: because the teacher signed it, so you couldn't swap eggs
Speaker 2: out because they would know their signature pretty well. You
Speaker 2: could try and forge it, but you just carry it
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, the task was to look after the
Speaker 2: egg for forty out hours and you're in teams, so
Speaker 2: it was like a couple.
Speaker 1: But like, surely as soon as you walk out the classroom.
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to kick your egg.
Speaker 2: You also had eggs, so someone will try if you kick.
Speaker 1: You're like yeah, but like, wouldn't that would be funny, right?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 1: If you I was just keep that in my pocket there,
Speaker 1: why I eat my recess and someone to stop your
Speaker 1: legatches an egg?
Speaker 2: And that was a part of it, I guess, didn't
Speaker 2: you build something to protect? And that was also that
Speaker 2: was part of it, was you would That was part
Speaker 2: of it was you had to design some sort of
Speaker 2: It was a kind of engineering slash family raising.
Speaker 3: Your school just combined them too.
Speaker 2: And that's what I do with my babies. Now. I
Speaker 2: get some sort of case, some sort of some sort
Speaker 2: of breatheabook case and I put him in there.
Speaker 1: Do you do you have a school project that you
Speaker 1: were like really proud of, because I got two that
Speaker 1: come to mind. I did a diorama in you two,
Speaker 1: which like just probably still one of the coolest things
Speaker 1: I've done. I reckon and then I did we had
Speaker 1: to do like a visual novel, like a you know,
Speaker 1: a comic book, I suppose, and I really liked the
Speaker 1: movie Green Street Heligans at the time, but I like
Speaker 1: drew the movie and like this comic book, and I
Speaker 1: spent like so much time.
Speaker 3: I still have it.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, maybe Mum and dad would potentially,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's funny how there's a couple of things
Speaker 1: where you're like, I'm proud of this. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: normally something artier.
Speaker 3: We had to for science.
Speaker 5: We had to build a bridge out of nothing but paper,
Speaker 5: cardboard and like sticks and stuff, but had to be
Speaker 5: able to hold five kilos, so you had to design
Speaker 5: it in a way that was like triangle and everything
Speaker 5: to work out even if it's built of feathers.
Speaker 3: It could hold five kilos kind of thing. And that
Speaker 3: was really fun that.
Speaker 5: Or we had to we had to design a board
Speaker 5: game with like rules and parts and everything.
Speaker 13: And all that.
Speaker 5: That was fun.
Speaker 2: Benh Yeah, Year four, I drew a Greyhound. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Why have I seen that? I don't know. Was it
Speaker 2: you who did the project on the That's why you
Speaker 2: brought that box? Did you?
Speaker 1: Didn't you do a projects well on the East Bengal Tiger? Yes,
Speaker 1: and then you wrote to the local MP being like
Speaker 1: we need to help this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I think he read out and I
Speaker 2: reckon yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Andy, our old producer now work with that MP.
Speaker 2: Yes, who you wrote no No, No, No Champion who
Speaker 2: sent me a birthday card on my birthday, But that
Speaker 2: was a different mprtter to save the Bengal Tigers.
Speaker 1: Actually we did this whole bit because it was like
Speaker 1: the only and to be fair, I mean, no one
Speaker 1: really sense letters, but the only well, the only letter
Speaker 1: Ben got his eighteenth birthday was from local MP Nick Champion.
Speaker 1: And then he was like kind of a character on
Speaker 1: our community radio.
Speaker 2: And that is that is who Andy works for now.
Speaker 2: So Funny works MP that he serves. Oh so he's
Speaker 2: the child yeah and the something else is child protection
Speaker 2: or something. Oh yeah, two roles. Yeah, wow, there you go.
Speaker 2: It's like housing, yeah, and children's services. I just would
Speaker 2: never want to get into politics.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not like anyone's thinking that's my next move,
Speaker 1: but like I.
Speaker 2: Just you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Guys on the show this morning, why do the census?
Speaker 1: That seems like a hassle. How does it help me?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, they already know. They know they're watching us
Speaker 2: for our phones and do we.
Speaker 5: Want to do any more platinums while we're here.
Speaker 2: No, I think we've already done enough today.
Speaker 1: I think we're.
Speaker 2: One last little post in the pod squad was from
Speaker 2: Nathan Novak and I just opened Facebook and it disappeared.
Speaker 2: Forgive me, He said, question, how many points does four
Speaker 2: dicking around notices deduct me from my gold to here?
Speaker 2: Asking for a friend? Basically, his question is he's asking
Speaker 2: for a graph to show where each person is at
Speaker 2: with their points.
Speaker 1: For the customer service.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the graphics team and the customer service team
Speaker 2: can cooperate well.
Speaker 1: With analytics on level six, and yeah we could probably.
Speaker 1: I think what he's saying is to get that to
Speaker 1: you by tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Obviously, you know you get a thousand points bronze, two
Speaker 2: and a half thousand, Silver, five thousand, goal, ten k
Speaker 2: Aviet platinum. People just want to able to visually see
Speaker 2: where they're at. I know the graphics department's pretty rammed,
Speaker 2: but they do go above and beyond, they go to
Speaker 2: the app development team.
Speaker 1: Yep, perhaps this is all stuff we can do in
Speaker 1: the town hall, the Ben and Liam town Hall, which
Speaker 1: is where we address the whole company. Just get obviously,
Speaker 1: as many people as possible in the big space community
Speaker 1: space here and then we just have live webcam that
Speaker 1: go to all the other states and small nations dotted
Speaker 1: around the cloud because it is a global company.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll I'll pass I'll pass that on to the
Speaker 3: graphics team.
Speaker 2: Graphics team and the app development team.
Speaker 3: They can look at that.
Speaker 1: Love that awesome, baby, be awesome.
Speaker 3: They are pretty busy.
Speaker 2: Though, like you said, Yeah, I just don't like hearing
Speaker 2: all the complaints.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it's Actually if you go to slide eighteen,
Speaker 1: biggest word in the word cloud for things that dick.
Speaker 2: Us around busy.
Speaker 1: Don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2: I don't hear busy.
Speaker 1: I don't hear busy.
Speaker 2: I want to hear it. I don't want to hear
Speaker 2: the words.
Speaker 1: Ready, Slide nineteen A positive cloud word. Yes, the biggest word.
Speaker 1: It's what we like to hear in this company. Yes, Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's incredible.
Speaker 2: Second second word below yes, which is clearly the biggest word,
Speaker 2: is sir yes.
Speaker 1: And then just below that is put some free fruit
Speaker 1: toast in.
Speaker 2: The Also, I think I deserve more credit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was actually quite noble, Thank you, because.
Speaker 2: I will firstly credit where credit is due. Mads in
Speaker 2: the news room absolutely saying she did not need to
Speaker 2: do that, but she felt guilty because she had a
Speaker 2: couple of.
Speaker 1: Obviously seeing Slide nineteen on the company manifesto.
Speaker 2: She felt guilty because she had a couple of pieces
Speaker 2: of the semi communal fruit toast, and then she went
Speaker 2: out and boord Ali like for like loaf of fruit toasts.
Speaker 2: Very so I partook in some of the fruit toasts.
Speaker 2: I had two slices, and then a couple of days
Speaker 2: later there was three pieces left. There was two heels
Speaker 2: and a thick middle slice. I didn't want to take
Speaker 2: the middle slice and just leave a heel, so I
Speaker 2: had the two heels double healing as well.
Speaker 1: That's what I had to endue weeks prior, and and
Speaker 1: I believe it's it's almost. That last thick slice is
Speaker 1: almost almost. There is a warning. I think everyone's too
Speaker 1: scared to touch it.
Speaker 3: But so are you gonna buy mas a loaf?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: Who's that directed to?
Speaker 1: I just sort of shot that comment shot between. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you didn't really look at anyone, So as
Speaker 1: soon as we'll just move on.
Speaker 3: You guys didn't buy the initial loaf.
Speaker 2: The semi communal service.
Speaker 5: As was kindly gone because you bullied her so hard
Speaker 5: she's gone and spent her own money on this, which
Speaker 5: you've now tucked into.
Speaker 3: So now would you not buy a loaf to then
Speaker 3: hand down to her.
Speaker 2: I've used some of my honey the other day, Bill,
Speaker 2: I asked prior to you did, Yeah, you can buy
Speaker 2: me some honey.
Speaker 3: You said I could use it.
Speaker 2: I let you use it.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I didn't steal it.
Speaker 2: I didn't steal the fruit tust.
Speaker 5: No, but she has felt so bad about having the
Speaker 5: communal fruits semi communal, and.
Speaker 3: That she spent her money.
Speaker 2: I don't know. They'll take it out with the complaints department,
Speaker 2: just sweed it through them.
Speaker 1: I also got to say, maybe this is also a complaint.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is coming off as like unnecessary, but it's
Speaker 1: almost at this point it's annoying that it's become a
Speaker 1: new thing where we get family packets of tim Dams.
Speaker 1: I've done a good job at resisting the last few days.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, can we not have a family packet
Speaker 1: of Timams.
Speaker 3: For a family pack?
Speaker 1: No, I don't want in there. I would honestly prefer
Speaker 1: to be tim tamless. So it removes that, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have that stuff in the house
Speaker 1: because I know.
Speaker 2: I'll smash it.
Speaker 3: We just don't eat it.
Speaker 1: But that's hard when you're looking.
Speaker 5: Just don't eat, don't ask them for it, don't reach
Speaker 5: for the jar, don't open the jar, don't touch it.
Speaker 1: That just there's so many.
Speaker 2: It's so rare to see a full jar of like
Speaker 2: thirty Tim Tams there just going. Stevens, you woke up
Speaker 2: a bit early this morning, go.
Speaker 5: And have a little miss Steven asked what Tim Tams
Speaker 5: you wanted, and you said the family pack you said
Speaker 5: you requested.
Speaker 2: I remember him saying Tim Tams double coated raspberry or whatever,
Speaker 2: and I just said standard Tim Dams.
Speaker 3: You said, yeah, you said family pack. You did.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't.
Speaker 3: Yes, you did, Yes, you did.
Speaker 2: I can't agree with Liam. If it's there, it's supertending.
Speaker 2: It's hard at six am, it's hard. I prefer no
Speaker 2: Tim Dam's no for a toast in the building.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I want the porridge back as long.
Speaker 2: As you eat it in the community, as long as
Speaker 2: you eat it in the provided time slot. And what
Speaker 2: time slot is that, I don't know. We have to
Speaker 2: to go to the community board for that. Because it's
Speaker 2: with this is a team, so we will community.
Speaker 1: There'll be there will be an alarm sounds for cruel time.
Speaker 2: I'll do it when you guys, Yeah, when Lean fires
Speaker 2: off the gruel alarm, Time for gruel workers, time for
Speaker 2: your gruel. We should court something else because gruel sounds
Speaker 2: a bit like sloppy. But we can think about gruels
Speaker 2: like what they feed the pigs. I think, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no girls like what like the peasant boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like what Oliver Swist would porridge. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying that that's why it kind of fits.
Speaker 2: Okay, now you can have your own porridge.
Speaker 1: Bill times feel gruel, and please don't ask us for
Speaker 1: it anymore because it will not be in it kindly.
Speaker 3: Well, actually, there isn't any more left. What happened.
Speaker 1: What happens in Olive Twists is the main The only
Speaker 1: thing I know is he eats gruel and he says,
Speaker 1: please I can have some more, and they're like, get
Speaker 1: out of here, Dick.
Speaker 3: I don't actually know, because I always get it mixed
Speaker 3: up with Bill.
Speaker 1: For some reason, I do as well.
Speaker 2: Billy Elliott is a boy who wants to dance and in.
Speaker 5: My head, it goes eat his porridge and then he turns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually I do the same thing. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. It's something about this just two small little
Speaker 1: boy movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is?
Speaker 1: Can you look up the synopsis of Billy Elliott Ben?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Billy wants to be a professional ballet dancer, but
Speaker 2: when his father refuses to support his dream, he secretly
Speaker 2: goes to ballet.
Speaker 1: Classes and then his dad's proud of him.
Speaker 2: At the end, however, things change when his father sees
Speaker 2: him dancing and he's actually a beautiful dancer.
Speaker 1: Okay, So a Twist was written in eighteen thirty eight
Speaker 1: by Charles Dickens. So olive Twist follows an awphan boy
Speaker 1: in a bleak eighteen thirties workhouse much like much like
Speaker 1: the workplace here the time, You're gruel who escapes a
Speaker 1: harsh apprenticeship, falls into a notorious London pickpocket gang, and
Speaker 1: ultimately discovers his true identity, family, heritage and a safe,
Speaker 1: happy life. Okay, it's a very different story.
Speaker 3: Could argue it's a bit similar. Wants to find himself
Speaker 3: pushes through twist. You know what year was Billy Elliott written?
Speaker 2: That's like a film from the nineties.
Speaker 3: I think it's.
Speaker 2: Based off in the year two thousand, Billy Elliott real story?
Speaker 2: Is that a real guy? What about Now's last answer?
Speaker 2: Is there any tie into that?
Speaker 3: I think Billy Elliott surely was a book.
Speaker 2: Was two thousand? Maybe it was a book. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: the real counter renowned. Yeah, such a bad laptop.
Speaker 3: Just say Billy book he was based off?
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I think it's sort of fair.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad there's the real life parallels, but it's like,
Speaker 1: not necessarily it's based on this guy. It's it's basically
Speaker 1: a lot of people who grew up in sort of
Speaker 1: mining towns and had like sort of stern blue collar dads,
Speaker 1: but they wanted to do something in the arts, I supposed,
Speaker 1: and then their dad.
Speaker 2: Was doing that. His dad wants him to go to boxing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants him to be fair though, must carry
Speaker 1: a garside. Yeah, if you were good at ballet and
Speaker 1: you probab you would help your boxing vice versa. If
Speaker 1: you're light on your feet, that half half the game.
Speaker 2: Brother, You know, all right, well we should you should
Speaker 2: do a real flight lamb. I couldn't. I wouldn't. I
Speaker 2: don't have that dog in me, you can do it.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I actually don't have the desire to still do my
Speaker 1: boxing twice a week.
Speaker 2: But I'm I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like, I feel like when I when I hit
Speaker 1: someone cleanly, oh ah ship, now they're gonna hit me
Speaker 1: way more like I'm not like and they always say
Speaker 1: like when you I think, did I say this the
Speaker 1: other day? Or like the coach will say when you
Speaker 1: when you get in, that's the hard work.
Speaker 2: That's when you just keep punching.
Speaker 1: But I if I get in, then I'm sort of like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I was, I was a gas out. I
Speaker 1: can't just like throw punch at forever you gas out.
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, at a certain point, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's enough, and I would give I almost give them
Speaker 1: a turn.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not just like I mean, I'm just gonna like yeah,
Speaker 1: And you can actually see at points even if someone's
Speaker 1: so for example, I'm not, you know, I'm not that experience,
Speaker 1: but if someone's maybe they've done another couple of rounds
Speaker 1: so they're a bit more tired, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they start matching your pace a little bit more,
Speaker 1: and you can kind of see when people are like like,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm a hurt and I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm hitting people hard enough to go, oh that's as
Speaker 1: good body shot. They really hurt, but you can see
Speaker 1: they're kind of gassed. I'm not like I'm going to
Speaker 1: get you now. I'm like, oh, I'll give them a minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't have a killer instinct at all.
Speaker 3: Do you think you could punch me?
Speaker 1: Oh? Well, I mean if we had sixteen ounce glasses
Speaker 1: on some head gear, and was just doing a light
Speaker 1: bit of sparring, like, would you like punch you as
Speaker 1: hard as I could? I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3: No, okay, Ben, would you punch me?
Speaker 2: Of course I would what I do though, that's nice
Speaker 2: of you. I pretend to God, you see those videos.
Speaker 1: We actually it would actually be kind of fun to
Speaker 1: do a team sparring day, even if it wasn't for comment,
Speaker 1: it would it would be kind of fun.
Speaker 3: I'd go hard.
Speaker 1: But and you're you're quite fit, but like you it is,
Speaker 1: I don't box. It takes it out of you so quick.
Speaker 1: It's it's actually amazing, especially when you think if you
Speaker 1: think you're doing well at boxing and someone's slapping the
Speaker 1: pads into you, and you're that was a pretty hard
Speaker 1: hit because someone's slapping down on the pad. But as
Speaker 1: soon as you're hitting like an eighty kilo bag or
Speaker 1: even worse, if someone's punching you and you're trying to
