Speaker 1 (00:06):
Well, the optis outage today, millions and millions of people
affecting employ a lot of people still figuring out just
what happened.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I mean I was actually watching the Today Show this
morning when this all was popping off, and here's Brooke
Bonney talking about it.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Massive Optus outage effecting up to ten million mobile and
broadband customers. The telco has issued a brief statement saying
it's aware of an issue that may be impacting some
of our mobile and internet customers and are currently working
to identify the cause and apologize for any inconvenience, including
for providers Dodo and a Masim which use the Optus network.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Most like getting these tech experts on, but no one
could explain exactly what was going on with this OPTAs dropout.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I don't know Dodo was tied up with it as well.
For Dodo just can't take a trick, can They.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Thought it might have been their big day in the sun.
Now like officers down, Dodo will finally take up.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
No, we actually we run you. Your wings have ecypt
as well.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
But well, they couldn't explain why the dropout happened, et cetera.
I still don't think anyone can really explain it. But
we have a resident tech expert on this show by
the name of Clancy. He joins us on the phone
right now. Hello, Clancy, Welcome Clancy.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
It's great to have you on mate.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Usually you're on handling tech questions and concerns. With the
help of me, we we we find our way through them.
But Clancy, we just thought today, because tech is the
biggest news, you could maybe spend a bit of time
just telling us and everyone what actually caused the optics
drop out today?
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Quite simple, buddy, there's a couple of those working a
lot or something.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Were you customer? Were you a customer and optor's customer? Clans? No, no,
yeah it was Did you know anyone who was with optors? Like?
How did the seniors community deal with this? Well, my
my wife's actually got a shop on the possible don't
work today? So what did you do?
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Click clack?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You know, the slider.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Click click click clack?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What the hell is the click click?
Speaker 5 (02:26):

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it slide. You still had the
click clack?
Speaker 7 (02:35):
Everybody does?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I think?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Where was I certainly a thing with the past from me.
So so, so you find out that the square reader
has gone down. I assume you read a square reader
or a fosph shade. How quickly did you realize that
you could use the click clack? Was it you that
realized the click clack? And were you a hero because
you realized you could still use it? Was it here?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Sound?
Speaker 8 (03:06):
We went to the shop and the young lady that's
working there says, I don't know what to do.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I should bring up the click click? She said, what
the hell was that under the bench there? Let's the
click clake under the bench.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Should blow out the cub webs? The click clak still there?
It was mine, throw it out forty five years ago.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Brain knew that's news. Great, sub claims. It's great to
hear you, mate.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I hope you have at one before Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah. Did you use the optus outage as an excuse today?
It was?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It was perfect.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, it was like if you had.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I heard that there was a VC exam on in Victoria,
so like an HC exam for chemistry, stinkiest of all exams.
I imagine ninety percent people were in trouble for that exam. Yes,
massive way to get out of that yourself another week
of study.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
My GPS wasn't working obviously on my GPS.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, so I couldn't find the exam a GPS.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All these use have been going here. I always use
the map. I just.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Never remember that Tom couldn't couldn't school idiot.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Okay, let's go to I think it's Pubby? Is is
it Pubby?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
It's Pubby?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Hey, Pubby Pubby.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
You use the optors optors outage as an excuse, mate.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Yeah, so I had to complete a background check for
work you I think three or four days ago, and
I said that, oh, yeah, I couldn't get around to
it early enough because of the networkout.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And you're with Optus Tubby, I mean Pubby.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
No, No, it's.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Perfect Jesus class.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It's still a lot dodgy background check. I've actually got
a criminal record. I didn't have to pull.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm glad we didn't ask a second question background check perfect.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You did call him though, rather than Bubby, which that bad.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Let's go to Sarah. Sarah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You used the.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
HI, Yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What did you do? Sarah?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
So actually live? And I told my boss that I
broke down and I couldn't call the insurance company. But
the truth is my mom actually couldn't call me to
wake me up, so I just slept in.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Hang on, hang on, your mom. Your mom still calls
you every morning? She is your alarm.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yes, oh my god, I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
To work if she So if she doesn't call you
in the morning, you will always just sleep in and
miss stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
So I do set alarms, but she always calls me
just to make sure.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So do you did.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You sleep through your alarms knowing that your mum will
eventually call you.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Here's sometimes how old are you, Sarah?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Twenty?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
My god?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Are you still living at home? Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Hang on, hang on. So she could just walk into
your room though.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
No.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
So she's a nurse, so she starts early in the mornings,
so she leaves well before I'm awake the.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Middle of the night, and then so she's in like
a you know, like a life threatening operation or something.
She needs to go. Sorry, guys, scalpels down. I've got
to call my daughter and wake her up.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Darren Hayes joy as.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
He Hi, Hey, Hey, hey mate, So mar singa last
night bad luck tough titties dummy him takes the cake,
got a sting it's got to burn.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
That is hilarious. I honestly didn't think I would make
it past maybe the second episode. And it's hilarious because
I once tweeted that I would never do the show ever.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
And I meant it.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, what changed your mind, Darren?
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Someone I really care about really told me that that
I should be humble and really grateful for the opportunity.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
I'd been rough show a couple.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Of times, the UK version as well, and I'd been
a bit of a prat about it and been like.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
No, too good for it.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
But I'd had a bit of a.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Hard year and i was on tour, so I'd made
a record. I was on tour, and I had a
choice between sort of coming home and grieving or going
and doing a fun TV show.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
And I thought on TV show maybe.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
But I thought the second I sing, you know, I
have a love or hate voice, but people know my voice,
and I thought, they'll guess me and I'll be sent home.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
And that was kind of my wish, which is a little.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
It's a little cynical, but that's not how it works. Apparently,
Apparently if you sing, you stay yeah, yeah, yeah, and
you had to stick around. I kept sticking around, but
it ended up being incredibly transformative because I was really
just touched and blown away by the challenges and the
(08:17):
you know, I was singing songs I never thought I
could sing before. It was really cool, by the by,
by the whole reaction, and it was beautiful crying.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Speaking of reactions, does like every time someone takes their
mask off, does go there?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Every time? Have listened? And if he does, what are
his hemrhoids like? Because that is some seriously and screaming.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I mean, I know some veins are popping. I see
the ones in. It's difficult because we're friends as well,
and so as you know, one of you have been
on a very secretive TV show. You signed a very
watertight NDA, so I couldn't even tell my mother that
I was on the show.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
He texted me the first night that I was on
the show and he said, are you in Sydney? And
I was just like you bugger, So I couldn't respond, like,
I wear a very distinctive clone as well.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And do you think he could smell you? You think
you could smell.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
It's in the contract that if you that you're not
supposed to wear like.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
The You're really really you were worried that Gunsberg could
smell you on the streets of Sydney.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
It was like around as soon as you landed, as
soon as you landed in Sydney, let's go. We actually
we just spoke to Matt Preston, who said that he
had to talk.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He described it as a high pitched whisper, so people.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Wouldn't know it was him, just when he was like
walking through corridors and stuff. Did you have to put
on a voice just when you were talking to people
behind the scenes.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
I wouldn't even allowed to talk.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
They've changed the rules that much that there's a person
that's next to me and I have to whisper to them,
and then they ask for stuff and it's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
I didn't know who else was on the show.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I was in a cloak the whole time, the minute
I arrived at the studio and into costume, and then
when I wasn't in costume, I.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Was in a cloak, and I was just maybe this
only happened to me.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
This was very sick.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
This was after the show was filmed. Darren. I'm not
sure what you mean.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
I'm still in the isolation room. Is everyone else in
the cast still in that room?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now, Darren, there's something we do with very special artists
on this show, and it's a game called can you
hear it?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Drink beer?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Darcy? No, Darcy nod.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Right?
Speaker 9 (11:10):
Are you paying the Jackson's for that song?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Or?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Of course I don't think we've actually mentioned that it
is the Jackson's in that we might have for obvious reasons.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
But yeah, no, it's a very simple game, but it's
a very hard skill to pull off, Darren. So basically
to my left here, out of your view, I have
got cans of soft drink, and I have got cans
of beers, and the very best Ears in the world
supposedly can tell the difference between a beer being opened
and a can of soft drink. Do you do you
(11:41):
think you have the ear to pull this off? Darren?
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Tell you what I used to be called ears mcfade
in the studio, did you really really? Because back when
we used to have fades on songs, I was the
guy that could tell if there was either something missing
or wrong.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
With a mix.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
And also I was the guy that did most of
of fades on the Savage Garden.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Song really by hand, really.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
All right, all right, here's mcfaith taking on.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Getting you is mcpade. You should know there is this.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
There is a leaderboard here, yeah, I think, and probably
only worth mentioning the top of the leader board.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I would say, so, Joe Jonas, do you know?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Do you know? Joe?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I do?
Speaker 7 (12:26):
He called me up once because Sophie is I guess
now X one. Yes, it's her birthday and he asked
me to speak to her one day and I just about.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
My jeans.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Yeah, you game and throw game? Or was it the
fact that you're talking to Joe? No, it was that
it was Joe. I'm a Joe Jonas hand. Okay, well
you'll be happy to hear.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So Joe Jonas got six cans in a row.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Yeah, of course he did.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
I mean he comes from a very religious family, so
he's a rebellious alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
He's got the he's got the record comfortably. I'm gonna say,
most other artists have been nothing but a splash in the.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Pondwards jaul I got none.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, just my boy got none.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So yeah, there have been some epic fails. But I
mean he is mcfade. I mean, I'm confident with what
you can do.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
So, here we go.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Here is can one, Darren.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Oh that that's a soft drink.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
He's mc mcvaide.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Okay, he's got Okay, she's I'm worried about Darren's gonna
have some real skill. Here can.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
It's a beer?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh wow, he's deally look on your face as well.
No celebration at this point. Ship two from two? Here
we go, can number three.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
That's a beer.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Three quickly, so he got three from three? Okay, here
is can number four.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
Wow, it's a beer.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
It's not even he's not even blinking. I think he can.
He can definitely hear the difference.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
So four from four we might be running out of
cans here. This is extraordinary.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Well, Darren's not wearing headphones. No, he's going bear back.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
He's broad dog in it. He's broad dog in it.
And also, I mean, you guys can't see Darren. He
hasn't changed his facial expression like this is just all
business for you, isn't it?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Can fine?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Five? Were up to five?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Five that's a beer.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
He falls down and that was a soft drink.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
Falls pretty good.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Well I'm darn well died. Bravo.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah, another reason to call Joe Jonas just to
the fresh pair of pants this time.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
Love exactly, Yeah, love lovely to chat to you always
so good to see you mate, Love you guys coming on,
Love you joy Bye.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But in case you missed it, massive Optus outage affecting
up to ten million mobile and broadband customers. The telco
has issued a brief statement saying it's aware of an
issue that may be impacting some of our mobile and
internet customers and are currently working to identify the cause
and apologize for any inconvenience, including for providers Dodo and
a Masim which used the Optus network.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I got on your bones and as we were saying before,
I mean the owners of Amasim and Dodo sprung out of.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Options is down. Some customers, get.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
The sire, we are we are the get the Dodo
massot out, Get him on the streets, get it, spread
the word.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It really tickled me anyway, look a lot of people.
Obviously my day started horribly.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
It was awful. I had no idea what was going on.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I went to the Optus shop today because I was like,
I need to speak to someone ind optors and the
casual had just closed the opt shop, but.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I was locked up found out what the day wasn't gone.
My life is just not worth these people, So the
joint was closed.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I got home only because again there was this there
was this amazing thing going on where if you were
with optors, So obviously the way that you find out
things is through the internet.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
It was just like I couldn't find out what was
wrong with my phone because I didn't have my phone. Yeah,
and the only way I found out was because there
was a there was a builder on the site next
to my house and he was like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Someone thinks they've hacked opters. That was the only way.
It was like true, word of mouth was the only
way that I found out.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So unless you were on the street and bumming inner
someone or you listen to the radio, obviously that was
the only way that you knew.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Funny how talking to humans became a thing again.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Yeah, I know it was weird.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I phones and internet.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Avoiding people for ten years, and all of a sudden,
it's to meet you for a shoot today as well.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And I rocked up at the in the middle of
the CBD and I was like, well, normally I just
whipped my phone out here and I'd google map.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
It back to asking people which direction his things in. Yeah,
we used to do that. Nice.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Nice anyway, Look, there's a lot of tomorrow as again,
well there are a lot of people who were using
the Optus thing today as an because who didn't actually
who weren't actually a member of Optus.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, so we really want to put this to the
test now, So Wilbur, I want you to call someone
who I actually know is with Telstra.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
This isn't a friend of mine or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
We were just able to do something here at the
station where we realize that every single call the station
has received this morning is obviously from a Telstra customer
because Optus customers.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Well, can you realize this? Come on to you. You
are the dumbest person I've ever met. Thank you. You
came in here hours ago and.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You were like, guys, everyone that could call the station
this morning called from Telstra.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
It was.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It was a big moment. And then we have to
give credit where credits the more.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
You big enough, that's dummy, you're making me feel. So
maybe it's just like that was your Standardoody. It was
just classic Woody this morning. It was brilliant anyway, So
we do have the number of someone here who we
know is with Telstra, right, Okay, Now I want you
to call it as like a day jock, yep, And
I like, I'm trying to think the dumbers competition, Like, say,
(19:20):
we tried to call you earlier for the fifty thousand
dollars Are you wearing shoes competition?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Are you wearing shoes? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, yeah, right, just dumb as anything, right, okay? And
then you go like, but we couldn't get through.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
It because she's obviously wearing shoes.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah yeah, Well I figure, I mean she obviously won't
say no, I wasn't sorry, no money for me, So
you go, it's a fifty thousand dollars Are you wearing
shoes competition?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Okay, we tried to call you earlier today.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, yeah, we couldn't get onto you.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yes, you missed the call or we couldn't get onto you.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
If you're with Optus, you win the fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Because your legitimate excuse terms of conditions, we couldn't get
onto you. Yeah, I have to legally reoffer you the money,
but you need to tell the truth to me, like
you with optus, yes, and possible for me to know.
It is impossible to know what carryer people with, apart
from our producer LJ, who can apparently just looking at
someone knows what carry there with.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, it's a bizarre skill. She's got six anyways. Anyway,
the good news is though we know she's with Teltra.
So the question is will she lie when you do this?
You still win the fifty thousand dollars because that's a
genuine excuse Ye again, know that she is she is
with Teltra, We know she's with Telstra.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Will she lie to win the fifty grand?
Speaker 8 (20:28):

said years with optors. I don't mind it though, Christians
and you.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Caught it ten thirty this morning. I know we I
texted because yeah, no, good on you, Kristin.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And the other funny thing was, kristin the competition was
the are you wearing shoes competition?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Or you needed to wearing shoes and you said you wouldn't.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Well, I thought it was a trick.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Overthinking of Christening in the age.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, if you're a red rooster about you, it's a
fifty thousand dollars red roost. Now what you don't know
about this? But Home Hardware reached out recently.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
You know Home Hardware, the still kicking around.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah they are, yeah, Home hard Yeah, yeah, the company, Yeah,
they're reached out. They wanted to sponsor a segment. Oh
and I said, you know what, yeah, absolutely, they said
they want to sponsor a segment and they want to
do like a handyman segment. So they wanted to know
if one of us was, you know, sort of up
to the grade of calling themselves a handyman. Could we
answer handyman questions on air.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Anyway? I said, yeah, Woody recently has.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And that's obviously not true. I'm not very good.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I've got a lot of skills, but handy manning isn't
one of them. Is that what we call to handy man?
I've been handy manning on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Is that how you use it?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
And that you're doing something else to me? So, yeah,
you recicentally moved house and yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
So I just said, look, Woody's very handy and he's
been doing a few things recently, so I'm sure it
can answer questions. So look, these are just random questions
that listeners have that are they've registered willim dot com.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
They've told us what they're struggling with.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I actually now I'm getting better at this. I used
Allen's key over the weekend and I actually took down
a chin up bar.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
That was one of the questions I had.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
A guy called Sean reached out and said, can I
remove a properly installed pull up bar with an Allen key.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yes you can, but make sure you've got a long lever.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
So I was.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Initially I was using a very small Allen key, the
ones that you get for free from Ike, and I
was trying to effectively remove like these concrete screws.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And these things are big.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I'm not very good measurements, but they were re least
twenty centimeters and I like, I cut up my fingers
because I was, you know, using effectively what looked like
a baby's Allen key to try and get out anyway.
Hours later, I would have been there for four and
a half hours trying to do it with the baby,
the baby Allen. But how many little baby Allen. Well,
it was eight to get the chin up, bar up,
(25:26):
but then it was on a plank of woods. There
were eight more. So I was sixteen four and a
half hours, and then I went to Bunning, Sorry years, Bunning,
sorry years them. So I went to my local home
hardware and I said, have you got any allen key's
the size of this?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
And they literally laughed in my face and they were like,
that's the idea one you absolutely, Oh my god, that's
so good.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You walked over your house at eight o'clock and you
were like, oh, man, I'm just going to do a
few things at home. And I'm like, how many things
could you be doing at home? And I was like, hey,
you're going there, mate, I'm still taking these things out
with an alan.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Do you want to borrow my drill? And you were like, man,
have already been budding to get in?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
You key too proud to use the machine.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Another another random one here, random John hit is up
and he said, how do I get the criss cross
pattern on my lawn?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I still don't know, Sean or who's there's the question
from John? I still don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So I've never mowed lawn before. So I mowed my
first lawn on the weekend. Struth the hay fever unbelievable
because that I was. I broke it in ives because
all the grass was flying over it. And then I
had my men, some of my partner's dad over a
garden guy. Anyway, he watched me go over the whole
whole lawn and I was like, mate, I can't I
(26:49):
can't even see the difference, and I'll go through the
whole thing. And then I finished and I was like right,
I joped down and he goes, no, mate, you had
the guards so high that you actually weren't clipping any
of the grass.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
A bride has let her husband sleep with one of
her bride'smaids on the wedding night.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But you said for the song it was the bride's request,
though not his request.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
It's the bride's request.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yes, the bride said, so if you want to be
a mar lever, you've gotta get with friends.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
She took that literally.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yes, she went, you have to.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I want you to sleep with one of my bridesmaids.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yes, we'll go over there.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Does the bride'smaid have any saying this or is it
just part of her role?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I think she was keen. I think she was keen.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay, yeah, yeah, So he goes over there. They have
a lovely time at the wedding, that of the reception.
Then afterwards she goes, would you like to spear the
bearded clam with my bridesmaid? Than and so and that
that happens that Well, okay, so this is the thing.
They're in an open relationship, okay on.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
The wedding like it's only stretching open relationship.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well, okay, this is the question that I want to ask,
because you and I don't know a lot about this,
but our button pusher turncoat Tom is in an open relationship.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Tommy, welcome.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Do I get to give myself a round of a pressure?
Of course I can toss you. Yes, I'm in an
open relationship. Yes, nice confidence from the start, some from
the very start? Was it open?
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:20):
So I'm a gay man, and I feel like when
I started dating my beautiful now fiance Seth, I always
said that our relationship can be whatever we want it
to be. It's never any rules.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Yes, we don't have to live by.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Societal's rules like a lot of heterosexual people have pressure
to do.
Speaker 12 (28:38):
So Yeah, I had that conversation from the start of
being like, we don't necessarily need to be in an
open relationship, but our relationship at any given time can
be whatever we want it to be.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So kind of like it's fluid.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So Intellectually, I think a lot of people who are
in monogamous or stereotypical relationships struggle to understand is like
intellect that sounds like a great idea, like you know,
pick and choose who you want to be with, but
we're still in this relationship together. But there's this little
tiny little thing that kind of like makes people go
(29:12):
insane called emotion. And I intellectually love the idea of
being in an open relationship because it sounds a lot more.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Liberating, It sounds a lot free.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Biologically probably makes a lot more sense as well, like
that's probably how we're designed.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
But just the idea of watching Sam.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Sleep with somebody else or vice versa just creates so
many headaches for me.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I can already feel it, like how And it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The couple that I was just talking about, she said
that they asked the part the husband had did he
feel jealous at all? Or did she feel jealous? And
she said yes, but the jealousy is part of it
because it makes it more exciting. So can I think
that let's just broadly umbrella this because I think this
is the big thing for everyone who's not in an
open relationship. How do you over the emotion jealousy side
(30:01):
of things?
Speaker 12 (30:02):
Well, I think it's different for Everybody's different right in
the way that they do with their open relationship. For me,
the way I like to see is I don't own
my partner's pleasure, Like I can't ever own that that's
not mine to control. So if he wants to go
out and do something, then I should feel happy that
he is able to source pleasure from multiple different places, Like,
(30:26):
I don't want his only source of pleasure to come
from me, because I also think that there's a whole
world of like funness out there to be had. I
don't think it should just come from me. And in
terms of the jealousy thing, just I don't know. I
just don't feel jealous.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
So you watched him before, Yeah, I'm a.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Pretty insecure garb, And I'll always put my hand up
and say that I would really struggle with the idea
that so if mim and I are in an open relationship,
I would jump to the conclusion that the person that
she's just had a night of pleasure with, I would go, oh,
she likes that person more than me.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Do you do you get that at all?
Speaker 12 (31:04):
So I think that's where for me, like I I
have such intense love for my fiance sef right is like,
I love him so much and I can trust him
to go out and do that and know that he's
going to come back to me like that, I think
that is more trusting than being in agous monogamous relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Because you're not binding them with like a rule or anything.
It's like, if you'll come back, you'll come back.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Because you're lovely, you love me, so you're going to
come back.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And even if you do have a better time with
somebody else, I know that the love's going to bring
you back here.
Speaker 12 (31:37):
I don't think you can ever stop somebody falling in
love with somebody else. Yeah, so if that's going to happen,
then that's going to happen when you're.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
In a monogamous relationship, if they fall in love with
somebody else.
Speaker 12 (31:47):
And this is the other beautiful thing about being in
an open relationship is I think a lot of people
have like cheating as the biggest thing that can happen
in their relationship. When you look at something, they go,
the biggest risk to our relationship.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, that person gets.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
It, not even actually like actually cheating physically as well.
Like there's also you know, just looking at someone the
wrong way or did you message that person.
Speaker 12 (32:08):
Or Now if you eliminate that risk from your relationship
or that thing happening, you have such a strong relationship
that can withstand I mean anything, Yeah, that's it could be.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
A lot of chats happening tonight in the household. I
tell you what, wo, No, I couldn't do it when
you get home. I couldn't. I wouldn't, I would I
was really interesting to hear your perspective time. I couldn't
do it, wouldn't want to do it? Yeah, right right
now with where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, but because of the insecurity bank totally. Yeah, she
doesn't want to do it at at the moment either.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Well, I haven't actually asked her, to be fair, That's.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It is interesting question though, Like if your partner came
to you and said, this is what I want to do,
and it's the same thing what Tom saying, if you
love them that much, Yeah, it's it's already creates a dilemma,
doesn't it. Because I really love you and I want
you to be happy.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
That's what you want.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I've got to put one hundred percent behind And now
she's she's she's a she's a mother as well, and
I love her as a mother to my child and
I love the time we spend together. So you're right,
if that was something that she really needed, Yeah, that
that that is a different conversation where I could go
if that's what you need then I think I can
make this work.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Wow, I think I don't think we're there. I mean
it's truth. Mem if you if you're keen like let
me know.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Let me.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Will and what is meaningful dift? Make your money meaningful?
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Fiscusine with Maya my store.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Taking on center, Take it on Center.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Yeah, that's right. We love Sando. We love him. He's brilliant,
he's bloody brilliant. But he can do better. It's just
it's just I don't do that. It's just a sheer
numbers problem he's got. He's just he's just trying to
look after too many people.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
He's got one night, seven billion people.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And he goes in and out through the gymney because
he doesn't want to to you because he's too busy,
he doesn't have time.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
And I just think we could deliver gifts in a
more meaningful way. So we've teamed up with Maya this year.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Register Williamwodo dot com if you know someone that deserves
a meaningful gift, and we will deliver that gift to
the meaningfully woods.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
So Fiona got in touch with us.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We just spoke to her before the song there if
you missed it and Basically, Fiona said her partner Adam
is a die hard runner, right, and his ear pods
broke last week, so he'd really really love some ear pods.
So we were like, okay, how do we deliver this
in a meaningful way? And we kind of took meaningful
and went, well, let's test out him out a little bit.
So we went down to paramounta park. We were in
(34:35):
Cohotz with Fiona and we were like, right, all we
want to do is we want to stage a robbery here.
So we planned like a park bench for Fiona to
walk Adam, and then you.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
And I planned the park bench. There was just a
bench in the park.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No, no, I built it myself from a bear hand.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I take things very very seriously, this more than it
was so and you and me decided there would be
inconspicuous if he dressed up as Santa's.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, I've been mean to question that. Whose idea was
the Sanders.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I know we're taking on Sandra and everything, but we
genuinely gave Sandra a bad name there.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Someone in promotions totally misunderstood this whole thing and bought
a Santa suits and I thought we just had to
use them.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
We're hanging out at the back of a function center
like it looked like we were the like the derelict
Santas that had been high for the day. Would he
ripped his suit, he put his foot through his suit
so he only had one leg, and then you pulled
the leg up.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
So it was up to your jocks.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well, I knew I was about to run.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
It looked strange. It looked like we were out there
complaining about you know, the adult that had just sat
on our lap and asked for a time at the
client function. It didn't look great.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was very odd. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
We then saw our two targets on the park bench,
and the audio picks up at the moment where we
decided as these two Santas to steal Fiona's bag. And
the question was if Adam is such a great runner,
then he should bolt after us, and this is the
way he will earn his bos headphones from Meyer.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
HI can talk.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
I don't runner, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (36:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (36:21):
Jonah told us you were a great runner, and so
for Christmas this year she wanted you to get me
these Bose headphones.
Speaker 5 (36:27):
She got running with.

nice and I think you're a guy that hard sounding you.

Yeah, yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (36:53):

Speaker 5 (37:06):
He would have been fine. We would have been fine.
Speaker 2 (37:09):

Speaker 5 (37:11):
I smuggled. I smuggled a bit.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah yeah, i' had a baseball bat reader goo, just
in case things gotten early.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Did you really believe he got to you? I would
have protected you.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
You would have smacked a listener in the face with
a baseball would I would have done it on today?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Nice? You go above and beyond for me, Will and
I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Now.
Speaker 5 (37:27):

year as well. Make you marry me this chrissy with
maya my store.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Congrats at him. He was a very deserving winner. Perfect
timing as well. Like his bo's headphones had just died,
got himself a brand new head of headphones.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
It's all jokes about that. Baseball stuff, bat stuff, guys.
A bit of a gag. A bit of a gag.
