Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago in a lab far far away,

Speaker 6 (00:51):
What have I done setting a false alarm last night
that you had seen aliens?

Speaker 4 (00:54):

Speaker 5 (01:04):
But no, we've had a new member of the team
join and this is the time of year, at the
start of the year that a lot of people have
new people they're working with in the office. We've had
produce a clear with us for a touch over a
week and something's happened in the last twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Honestly, she could quit over this.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
We've led her down big time and I think it's
something other Australians will have done as well. But coming
up before we get to nine o'clock, we're going to
need to see if we can make good for this
because I feel pretty awkward. You feel pretty awkward, and
we've got ourselves a bit of a dilemma that we're in.

Speaker 7 (01:35):
This is second Tom.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
We want to know thirteen one oh six', five how
did you get an? Upgrade might have been in a,
hotel might have been on a flight of some, Sort
but did you get an?

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Upgrade and if, so how did you do?

Speaker 5 (01:47):
It Zach and this comes from a friend of mine
who went to See Billie eilish in her Current australian.
Too she went to The brisbane shows and she went along.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
A few days before the.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Gig she has a sporting, injury breaks her, foot gets
the moon boot, on and then when she rocks up
to the gig in the, moonboot they, say, oh you
can come sit up.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Here where we put all the injured people right near the.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Front she's got perfect because she can't stand up for the,
gig like the most perfect vantage, point perfect view of
the whole, thing much better than what she paid. For
all because of the moon.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Boot, now if you were to use a wheelchair when
you didn't need to use a, wheelchair that would be
seen as.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Unethical, yes, immoral.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Totally moonboot, though, yeah gray area because no, one because
it's indicating that it's a short term.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Injury crutches could be. Crutches see crutches seems. Worse, yeah
for some, REASON i don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Why what about crutches feels like no, wheelchairs no moon.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Boot i'm like, maybe, yeah, certainly if you see someone
in a moon boot and they Said i'm faking, it
you wouldn't think you'd think that's upset about?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
It are?

Speaker 7 (02:52):
You?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
No? No?

Speaker 5 (02:53):
NO i MEAN i at school considered faking the cast
on the.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Arm why is that to get all the? Signatures you?
Know did you have a particularly famous? Cohort why did you?
Want a?

Speaker 5 (03:04):
FRIEND a friend of mine broke their arm and had
the cast that everyone in the grade, signed AND i,
Thought i'd like.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
That that sounds. Cool what did he keep the? CAST
i think he might.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
HAVE i can't remember what he did with the, cast
but everyone in the grade rode on the, cast AND
i THOUGHT i don't have something for everyone in the
grade to write. On imagine IF i broke my, Arm,
yeah i'd.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
You attempt to break it or. Anything, NO i didn't
go to that, level BUT i.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Did it did just occur to me THAT, i don't,
know that'd be a, cool cool, memento a cool focal
point of social attention at.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
School you know WHAT i.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Mean Signed onm's, Cast suddenly i'd stand out from the,
massive forgettable young.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
People another guy with a.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Cast you'd be special for the, day wouldn't, You, yeah
you'd be.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Special would you consider.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Wearing a moonboot to get free upgrades even if you weren't?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Injured, well now THAT i know it, works at least
in this, Instance i'm very tempted to because the.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Moon but how much is a?

Speaker 6 (03:57):
Moonboot where you could probably get one on marketplace for
like twenty b, right maybe even.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Less this person.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Had bought the cheapest possible tickets To Billie, eilish they
rock up in a moon but let's say it was
twenty BUT i think it. Was it was a legitimate moon.
Boot but still they wreck up in the moon boot
and suddenly they're probably getting four or five hundred dollars
better view of the.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
CONCERT i mean that that's a good. Investment it's basic,
maths isn't.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
It i'd be tempted to sprain my ankle on, purpose
just a little. Injury, YEAH i think long, term, right
because then morally you'd feel, okay we're in the.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Moonboot, yeah if it was a real.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Injury, yeah, Yeah look thirteen one sixty. Five have you
ever been able to get an upgrade? Before you hear
of this often with people who have some sort of,
secret they say with.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Flights, well people sometimes say it about your. Honeymoon, ah,
YES i didn't find that at. All what do you,
mean no free upgrades WHEN i was on my?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Honeymoon? Really?

Speaker 5 (04:49):

any hotel room you're?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
In does she write them a letter or? Something? No, No,
no she complained that it smells a. Cigarettes oh that's.
Right if you go into any room.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
And you say you call reception, her this room smells
like cigarette smoke to keep you. Happy she, says nine
times out of ten, upgrade she's gone from a basic
room to like the corner.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Sweep how often does she try?

Speaker 5 (05:24):
This in my childhood it happened often family. Holidays everything
smelled like cigarette.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Smoke maybe she needs to get that checked. Out she
needs to go.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Doctor look third in ONE o six? Five what have
you tried to do to get an? Upgrade have we?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Do?

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Hey it boy was, yeah it went on a trip
with my fiance now To turkey and proposed to her over.
Then and we thought the flight there was pretty pretty,
tough about a twenty hour. Flight you have to break
in between the economy classes didn't cut. It so on
the way back made her turn into A hollywood actor

(06:07):
and she had to act like she was. SICK i
went up to the customer service desk at the airport and,
said she's got bad morning. Sickness you, know she just felt.
Pregnant so can we have some sort of exit row
seat or something at least something to accommodate, Us and they,
said we can give you business. Class the whole way

(06:28):
back on the New airbus. Plane SO i got business
class the whole way. Back she like a baby the whole.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Flight both have you got?

Speaker 8 (06:34):
It both of us got? It cinnerma next to each.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Other that's probably what like a ten thousand dollars, value.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
About about ten.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Grand, wow that's.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
INCREDIBLE i MEAN i would have thought they might have
given it To karen's, partner but to give it To
karen as, well to get them both.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
In he might have been, LIKE i need to be
there for emotional.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Support and were you, Surprised karen at the acting chops
that your partner.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
Had HONESTLY i wanted to DO i want to just
acting classes when we got back sraight. Away BUT.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
I mean it's a good, one right if give it a.
Shot if you are at the airport and you you
know you's a you know you are a, woman or
you're with a, woman just say there's a pregnancy, happening
because it seems like that's the one that will always
dial into people's emotional.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Warmth, yeah is it a bit of a Manipulative are.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
You pretending that taking advantage of people's generosity when it
comes to pregnancy is.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
A port to?

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Do, yeah pregnancy. ILLNESS i mean the moon. Boot the
worst that it can be is a broken. Foot, yeah,
true do you know WHAT i?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Mean SO i feel like that one's in the gray.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Area, yeah but you wouldn't lie about a pregnancy that's. Touchy, yeah,
MATE i prefer a business class seat than. Morals jason
on third in ONE o six, Five what did you
do at a caravan Park jason to get an upgrade.

Speaker 9 (07:48):
Caravan? Park pissing down? Rain, yeah we got in. There
we actually wet the place and soaked it. Instead it
was leaking and we got put up in the hotel
over the. Weekend, well hang on a.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Second the caravan park was, wait what's the?

Speaker 9 (08:02):
Story great mobile? Unit?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Ah right, right and.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
He said it was leaky and you got put into
the better accommodation of the.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Hotel come, On, jason you can't be doing.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
THAT i, mean you can't be literally getting the mount
FRONT a fine, line isn't.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
It because my friend used to say that he had
a hack at McDonald's on how to get free.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Cheeseburger so he, said how do you do? It and he,
goes when you.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Go through drive, through you just look in your bag
when they give it to you and you SAY i
ordered a, cheeseburger it's not in, Here And i'm, like
but that you're just lying to.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Them that's not a clever. Hack that's just. Fraud, yeah
where's a fine, line isn't, It? Freden fraud is a fine? Line, Again,
yes the.

Speaker 10 (08:43):
Moonboot maybe going into an accommodation and trashing it and
saying that it was like that when you got, there
that might be a little over the.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Line, well we'll see where this one stands WITH uzac
on the ethical fine line. THERE i meant that my
mum has historically liked going to hotels complaining that they
smell like smoke and getting an. Upgrade i'm fine with
that room spells like. Smoke, now this is a hack
you do as, Well. Mark how many times do you?
Reckon you've pulled this off? Successfully?

Speaker 11 (09:13):
Oh so many? Times like, HONESTLY i reckon ten plus
not even ten? Fifteen.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Mark do they ever pull you up on it and, go,
oh come with you and see if it smells like smoke,
myself or they just don't care and they just say,
WHATEVER i just get that.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Upgrade they don't.

Speaker 11 (09:28):
Really, care to be, honest, because LIKE i always say
That i'm really sensitive to, it so like it might
work for, me like it might smell for, me but
then for, them they, don't you know WHAT i. Mean
that's a fine.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
Line, yeah you, Say i've got like a keen sense
of smell like a. Dog, yeah you guys probably wouldn't
be able to smell.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
It, Yeah, mark have you ever considered actually lighting a
cigarette in the room and then calling the.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
Mark nah or?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Nah?

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yeah probably, no it's too.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
FAT i wonder with the smoke, one how often they
would have just given you an upgrade if you just
asked anyway for an.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Upgrade, yeah, yeah that's, true that's.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
GOOD i wonder if you just you, know we have
all these, schemes BUT i wonder if you just directly,
asked how often you would get?

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Upgraded BECAUSE i guess if they're giving an, upgrade it
means they've got capacity To.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Yeah, right so that's WHAT i always. Think, yes does
it come out of your?

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Paycheck?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, WELL i still reckon it's worth. Though if you're
going to go to a big, gig get the moon,
boot get it on marketplace and give it a. Shot
but you probably do have to really exaggerate the limp
in front of the.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Start the issue is going to be after broadcasting this
at the Next Billie eilish. Concert, yeah that area is
going to have like a thousand people in moon.

Speaker 7 (10:39):

Day there are so many.

Speaker 4 (28:59):

than we.

Speaker 4 (29:32):

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Example you like? It so do you think you'll be
celebrating national set a good example. Day i'll do my best.
Too i'll do a bit of reading about.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
It, yeah please do check out the myriad of resources
online from the founders of this, event The way Of Happiness.
Organization this is also a book of the same, name
written by L Ron hubbard under a Scientific.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
Okay, well hold on a. Second, no what you've just
done there is. Criminal you can't do that to. Someone
this is what they do with. Cults they get you
to think it's a good, idea and you've had a good,
idea and then they bring out the.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Paperwork and get you to. SIGN i need to make a.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
SUSH i need to make an official statement on the
show now before we go any. FURTHER i DOM fe
do not endure scientology or any of its spin off cult,
religions but.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
You were just, saying as, humans thank, you we are
more infectious than we.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
REALIZED i think it was the direct term you, use
not for. Scientology i'm not keen on. THAT i.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
DO i, Mean i'm curious about, it like not not
Like i'm curious why does it keep? On why why
celebrities always suck it into? It what has it got
for celebris in? There that's What i'm curious. About But
i'm curious about it in, like i'd listen to a
podcast about the origins of, scientology not in THE i
want to sign up and go.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Along so it.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Is what was that one national set a good example,
day WHICH i.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Believe might have something to do with. Scientology, well neither
of us can take that, one can?

Speaker 5 (30:58):
We ALTHOUGH i reckon it would. Do like would it
be good for the marketing of.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
This show if you became a? Scientologist?

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Yeah probably because That actually there's not many In. Australia
there's not, many and so In america they go for
the big stars Like Tom, cruise but In australia they
might be happy with night radio hosts just to get
her foot in the.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Door that's not a bad.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Call, ACTUALLY i could have a look at That i'll
over think about.

testament WHERE i don't know this. Is i'm also interested
to what the other nut.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Is, yeah and that's a weird claim to.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Fame, WELL i think they're trying to say it's an ancient,
nut it's not one of these new.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Nuts and THE i know some people are critical of
the effort to reward ratio for a. Pistacio, well, yeah
because you've got to shell.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Them, yeah, yeah BUT i think that's part of the.
Fun but do you like peanuts? Unshelled? No but they
don't clip open as easily as a.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
Pistacio, yeah they're kind of like you've got to do
some work for that a land, clam aren't they they?

Speaker 5 (32:23):
Are whereas a pistacio has done half the job for.
You it's already started.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Undressing, okay you know you're taking. It you take its shell,
off you clip it, open.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
You think that you're, Undressing, no clip it and let
it gently fall.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Away, NO i didn't say. That you're putting words in my?
Mouth now what those? Are the? Two SO i guess
we're both because we. Don't, well you're.

Actually interested in becoming a, Scientologist so why don't you
take national set a good, Example.

To me if you get, canceled you end up sort
of becoming high In trump's. Cabinet and you're gonna have
to say worse than, that worse Than i'm dressing.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
