Yep.
So talk back teams is where we play the weird shit that occurs on talkback radio because it's a fucking cesspool, isn't it.
Yeah it is.
You get some weird characters calling.
Machine, also from the hosts and from the listeners the hosts, because you think about it, these poor fuckers have to feel so much time.
Yeah, there's no songs, very few ad breaks often, yeah, especially at ABC, but yeah, that's why they get so many odd characters calling through. And often when it's a really popular talkback radio station, you could be on hold for ages, like we have called talkback radio stations in this segment, and we don't have to wait too long because we pick on the underdogs. We go for the less popular stations so that we don't have to wait
too long. But the really popular stations you could be on hold for quite a while because there's, believe it or not, lots of people calling through and over. On three a W apparently one man was on hold so long that he just fell asleep. What and so by the time they took his call, this is what they heard.
John calls from South Australia. Get a John. Oh, no, John's been hanging on it been. It's been a good twenty odd minutes or so, and he's fallen asleep. We had the passing parade and the news and a break and another call. Yeah, that's a big snare. I wonder if John's married. Oh, because I snore a bit like this. Actually, I fell asleep in the office yesterday afternoon, Like I've got a door that shuts, and I'm just a little on the tired side. So I just leaned back on
the chair. It's still snowing. I leaned back on the chair and put my feet up on the desk and I just closed my eyes just I'll just get a little five minute power and app and then I wake myself up with a snore. Oh are you there, John? Yeah, good mate? How are you tricking off? No, that's right. It happens at this time in the morning.
Not a problem.
I love that he'd stuck with it.
Didn't move on to any other callers, just stuck with the snoring, poor thing. So it was a snoring on the line for a total of sixty seconds. That's a long time before he finally went.
Now, what do we think the setup was? I was trying to picture that was the fine on his neck on his lap or was he in a bluetooth head thing.
I don't know.
Maybe it was like a home phone and he just kind of had it tucked between his cheek and his shoulder. That's what I'm imagining. Why was he querying whether or not he had a partner, I don't know. I think that was like heterosexual humor. Like my wife balls me, I wonder if he's married. I saw like, yeah, right right, if he's married, will be for long. And so I was thinking that we should try and beat that sixty seconds. Yeah, we call a radio station and snore on the line.
See how long it takes him to hang up. Similar to coughing fit chicken. Yeah, I think coughing fit chicken. But the WORRINGITCHI it's.
Literally perfect for me, coughing fit chick. And we had to stop for medical reasons because I was coughing up my lam.
No. You literally just have a nap now, I just sleep.
It's perfect for me. But try to call a radio station.
Well, I don't know, because I was thinking that not a lot of radio stations would stick with that call. If we're trying to beat the record, most radio stations could be like, Okay, then there and then move on.
So maybe we should call someone else.
Yeah, and also it's quite handy that you're feeling fucked in the head today because that will lend itself quite nicely to your character.
Dot wickens it will.
She's seen all of the best of the time. Yeah, that's perfect for your current na.
She's here, she is here.
Bring in the ninety year old alter ego of mitches.
Come on in. Don't spill the lemonade.
She spilled her the sweps she's diabetic. She can't have it.
We're going to get you to make a phone call. And are you feeling a bit tired, because it's not off if you want.
It, Yes, my right around the corner.
Yeah, we haven't thought of who we're going to call on your behalf though, Dot Mitchell Cherry come back.
Yeah, who should we call instead of a radio station?
What?
What about? How made it? TVSN?
We call her a couple of weeks we've done that. I feel like a numberould be blocked. What if we were to call a sleep appnear clinic, they'd have so much empathy because they're used to it. In fact, this is probably a daily occurrence clinics that.
Will definitely beat the sixty seconds, okay, or.
A sleep center or a sleep study. I've had a sleep study done. They're very nice.
Do we want Peninsula Sleep Clinic or Sydney Sleep Center?
I think Sydney Sleep Senate.
Yeah right, we'll give them a well you.
Wantus to call on one? No, I've pissed.
Ship.
Okay, into the mic. Dot. Do you think she should talk first or Dot should?
Yes, she should talk for a bit and then at some stage just does off. Here's the Jenna.
Can you get your stop watch ready and just once the snoring starts, see if we can beat the six.
So I'm just gonna once Dot starts, she should continue snoring until she gets hung up on or should she wake up?
Correct? That's right, Sorry, I'm cranking. Okay, here we go.
Okay, give this work, come up.
Here's fun.
Yes, Sydney Sleep Center and a boy speaking.
Kind of a bombanee.
I'm sorry your name? Oh and I'm so sorry, dear. I heard abominee or abomination.

Have you had a sleep study before someone watches you sleep the whole night with probes on?
I couldn't do that, but I couldn't get to sleep, and then they think I've got real issues.
No, they're in a it's like a two way glass thing like they You don't you can't watch.
