TALKBACK TINGZ: Waiting for a call in silence 📻

Already talk actings. Is that segment where we play the little bits of gold that we hear on talkback radio?

Yeah, highly requested to. This has been voted by the idiots, the number one segment we did.

That's throughout our Facebook group. I didn't realize it had been so long since we'd done talkback things because I don't know, actually Graham, I think like it was Graham.

The last one was.

But let me tell you, this person we're about to hear from has been on talkback things before. I think it was back in episode twenty seven. Do you remember Carter Edward?

Oh?

How could I forget Carter?

Especially so far, every single talkback ting's piece of audio that I've played something whack from talkback has come from the one station to sm in Sydney. I don't actually need to go outside of that station because it all it just delivered so much gold. You wish your random safe?

Are you're telling me that they had to withdraw from the ratings because they were rating at such a small percentage.

Yes, they were that embarrassed by their poor raisings that they just tapped out.

They were like pulling it out.

I don't want to know it's fine. But they were like, no, ratings aren't even real anyway. Yeah, that was their excuse, all right, really yeah, and they run on the smell of an oily rag. It's literally just an old man a microphone and a phone. That's all they do. That's the only resources they have. But they somehow make it work. But I was listening to the other night Carter Edwards late at night on a weekend, and I witnessed the

Not his heart, I think his heart gave out. Eyes on that you'll.

Know what I mean. But first of all, let's just give you a little taste of what Carter Edwards radio show is like.

Any topic, any time called thirteen twelve sixty nine.

Speaker there, it's the truth. Yes, okay, it's your station. I just pushed the buttons and give you the chance to have your freedom of speech. And there's all kinds of things that we'd like to give you a chance to talk about. One thing, I wanted to do and I wanted to try and get your opinion on whatever it is that we throw in your direction, because everybody's got a a thought on whatever it is that we're talking about. Whoops, where have I got this happening? A second? Hang on?

Okay, so he's not super coherent, you know what I mean.

Everyone's got a thought but him.

Yes, So you wouldn't really tune into that show. If you're wanting slick, polished radiom rubbish, you have to make exactly.

He left so many lulls. I could never do that.

Thosells are bad. So when I listened the other night, I heard him do his thing. He's like, you know, this is the number, call in talk about whatever you want to talk about. And then he just sat and wait for someone to call on air. He didn't fill the silence. He literally just sat in silence waiting for the phone to ring.

But was it a jug? Was he doing it?

No?

No, no, no, you just played the audio. You'll know what I mean.

Thank you for your.

Thoughts, Maureen, Okay, bye mate, Thank you.

Darlin bo boy, Okay, agree or disagree? What are your thoughts on that one?

Folks?

Please give give us an idea. Okay, thirteen twelve sixty nine, I've got one line waiting for somebody.

You'll wait, No, oh my god.

Wait is this real?

Yeah?

I'm not going to make you sit through all the silence it went for over three minutes.

Was in a bad mood.

I don't know, but can I tell you there was actually nothing he could have said in that moment that would have been more engaging to me then that silence. I wouldn't get out of the car. I'm sitting there in the car park for over three minutes, being like, what's going to happen next? It was actually so gripping.

Yeah, but also my brain goes straight to death. I'm like, has he died? If something has happened in the studio, there's a terrorist? Isis of broken in.

Week?

This is why we love his program.

He's not enough again. But anyway, I'm not going to make you sit through the entire three minute silence. But this is what happened when he came back on air and finally someone called through.

Okay, what good evening? Hello?

Yeah, can hear I can hear you? Yes, sir? Thank you?

Yeah, I was listening to your conversation earlier.

It went on from there.

It was almost like he was asleep with a newspaper, right, oh, yes, waiting.

Can I just ask Mitchell, as someone who works on air in FM radio, how much trouble would you get in if you did that?

If I say my name, I'm Mitch till midnight, I can't even leave a pause between the till and midnight was one word, Mitch till midnight. I can't even go Mitch till midnight.

FI a dairy, very fast paced, nothing like that talk back shit.

Also my call because I take so many calls every night. I can if they're bad, I chop them. They're done really, oh of course, but it's also funny that way. But this way, like this is next level.

Well, as we've learned, they kind of just let anyone on air on talkback. They don't really bet them. It's it's like whatever someone's called, they'll take it back.

Also, that lady that he let didn't even know his name by mate.

But anyway, I did feel bad for Carter and the fact that he was his left hanging yeah for three minutes, waiting for someone to call. And so right now as we're recording, we are on Facebook Live, Yeah, TikTok live Instagram line. I'm thinking that our listeners, because they're fucking legends, they wouldn't leave us hanging.

Like that, you buddy, Hope, not absolutely not.

And so we've never done this before, but we're going to give out the number of the studio that we're recording. Okay, here it is, and then Jenna, I want you to get a stop watch out yep, and see how long it takes someone to call, because I don't think our listeners would do that to us, leave us hanging for three over three minutes.

No, I don't think they would, although our listeners is that way incline that they might just do it because they like.

Oh, anyone right now is considering doing this is to trol us. I will be furious because like, that's gonna be so tense.

They probably would knowing them.

We're also on Facebook Live. There's like a I tested it earlier. There's a seven second delay, so we're guaranteed at least some silence. Okay, So we're just going to sit here and wait and see how long it takes one of our listeners to call, So Mitch without further give out the number.

I'll do it. It'll be my the very best Carter I can be.

Give us a call wherever you are thirteen one O six five thirteen one O six.

Five waiting for your call. Go talk tonight. This is Carter.

Oh Eloise, Eloise.

Are you calling kids one A six five or are you calling a couple of mitches?

What was the time? It was fifty seconds? Thirty four edwards. This is what social media, bloody millennial generation can achieve, although fifty seconds still isn't anything to raise over the three minutes in the comments on my TikTok saying guys don't call and I'm like you Instagram, Eloise, Where are you.
