And what is the highlight of your weekend on?

9-414-1043.

This weekend, the team is all heading off to Sydney where it is the Radio Oscars, the Acra Radio Awards. You got your dress with you? Can you believe this, Patsy, right? Yeah. Jack shoved his suit in a carry-on bag, and he's not even going to get it pressed or anything like that. No, Jack. It's a dark suit, dark room. Excuse me, I'm not walking with you on the red carpet like a crinkled up bit of paper. Oh, the radio red carpet. Thank you very much. Oh, is that pangy there? Begging for cash? You will get pressed. Where do you get pressed? Get the hotel to do it. The hotel to do that. Charge the company. The hotel getting anything, have you ever looked at the laundry list and cost? No, it's the cost and also that giant form you have to fill out. I'm always thinking, does anyone actually use that? You need to be so, the form looks so complicated. It's like $10 per pair of underwear. Oh, a suit will be thousands. You're about actually just buying a new suit in Sydney tomorrow. So I'm staying behind. I'm not heading to Sydney, but I will be there in spirit. My daughter's in year 12, so I'm on hand for revision help this weekend. Although yesterday I just said to her, she's got a maths exam today. Maths exam at that level, I was going through some of it yesterday, and I went, do you know what? I'm of no how. I could have told you that. Do you know what I do for living? I mean, this is like advanced maths. Do you even know what matrices is? No. You've heard of it in my life. I went, are you saying it right? Maybe you were saying it wrong. I know the Matrix. The Matrix is a great movie. I don't know what a matrices is. She was cutting all the stuff out and putting it in a folder. I said, what do you were doing that for?

She goes, these are the common mistakes I've made of last two years. I've put them in this book and I look at them every sort of half an hour so that I don't make them in the exam. I went, wow. You will do very well in life. I said, I wish I'd done that like 30 years ago. I reckon if I made a note of the most common mistakes, aren't we all just repeating most of our mistakes always? I'm sure that my wife and I, every time we argue, I'm like, this is very familiar. Wait, this is every argument we've ever had. It's like a well-rehearsed role, isn't it?

You say this, and I say a bit of that.

Let's get out of the workbook where we stuck all our common mistakes. Oh, yes, here it is, page one. And then the other big thing, and this is a real treat on Tuesday, the public holiday. I can't wait for this. I don't know what you guys are going to be doing, but rather than pay for professional movies,

my wife thought it would be lovely for me on the day off to move my mother-in-law's stuff into a new little apartment she's got. What on your own? At the moment on my WhatsApp group, I'm asking if any of my buddies can help. Oh, no. On a public holiday. Who's that friend? Come on. The guys must have busy at the moment. There's been no replies in almost 24 hours. Almost 24 hours of just... You know, like on eBay, there are 17 watches right now. Yes. You know who you are, Andy, Dan, ow. I'd have you guys move. Do you go to that function where you can go message info and see who has

seen the message? Oh yeah. They've seen it all right. And I'd be the same. It's a big ask on any friendship, isn't it? Can you how, it's not even me move, it's mother-in-law's gear. Anyway, the big thing that I'm dreading, and I actually do need some information on, I've got to move a fridge. so I sound like a child then

can't move fridge

and I need to light it down

but apparently do need some information on. I've got to move a fridge. So I sound like a chart then.

Got to move fridge.

And I need to lie it down, but apparently that's bad for the fish. No, everyone knows you can't lie a fridge down. How the hell do you move it then? You've got to stand it up. I can't stand it up. Yeah, we stood one up in the back of a Ute once and strapped it up like that. Really? How did you keep it upright?

With about 10 straps.

Where would you get hold of these straps?

Bunnings.

Bunnings, boom. it up like that. Really? How did you keep it upright? With about 10 straps.

Where would you get hold of these straps?

Bunnings?

This guy had it in the back of his youth.
