Good day there. Podcaster got a special spooky edition of the podcast because of course it's Friday the thirteenth, except when you listen to it it'll be the next day. So just imagine it was yesterday, or you know, just imagine it's the date of Friday the thirteenth. We do gory stories, highlights, just pick out some of our absolute favorites and they're better than I remember. We also do did you Survive a Disaster? And got some unbelievable stories. Enjoyed, ladies and.

Gentlemen, what you're doing?

Listen across Australia's radio.

This is dand of Bellllo.

Good evening Australia. How good is this? We finally made it Friday the thirteenth. Though spooky, we have actually got a few spooky things planned for later in the show.

Yeah, we're going to kick it off now with thirteen twenty four ten Did you Survive a Disaster? Obviously this time twenty four hours ago news with the India plane going down, but we want to focus on the positives. There is that sole survivor, that British man who came out alive seated in number eleven seat and also allegedly a woman who missed that flight by ten minutes, and so she's standing there in absolute awe.

I couldn't believe that story when I read it, Like, obviously it's a tragedy and it's horrible, but imagine that one person out of all the death, that one person survived.

It just yeah, it's sort of unfathomable. Like I think two hundred and forty six people died like instantly, like it sort of went up and then it went straight down, huge carrier plane and then one dude manages to walk out the wreckage.

Yep, so he was in the plane. He survived. There's also the woman that missed it, And it did get us thinking, if you guys remember the caller Nev, who we had ages ago. Nev called us because he also missed his flight that went down.

Got to the airport, I went straight to the hair and as the dog had a couple of beers, rocked on up to the actual gate. He said, hey, sorry, sir, are you drunk? We can't let you on the plane. We can't let its puxicate people under plane. And then about an hour and a half later, the plane crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. Zero survivors. Everybody went down.

I mean it's a bit of a heavier one.

But if you survived a disaster, it doesn't have to be something as big as like a plane crash. But thirteen twenty fourteen, if you've got a story to tell, we'd love to hear from you.

To kick off the show.

Simon in Melbourne, tell us your story.

Yeah, so I have to go and rescue a girlfriend and lead issue is very sick. It's the nineties and we rocked up the part again to our hotel and there's no air conditioning in the hotels for that night, and she was very sick. So we fill the going to the hotel Extore on the third floor. And because of the unrested between the Cashmiity government and the Union government, the Cashbury and terrors placed the bombs on the gas leader of the hotel were supposed to stay say it, blowing it to the ground and killing forty seven people.

Ooh god, and you only move because of the air conditioning?

Great, because she was very sick. Put it up next door and.

Simon, so but that's horrible still because you I mean, you were staying in the hotel next door, you still would have been around when that, you know, disaster happen.

Yeah, it was a terrible event. Was it was pretty messy, but yeah that's the story.

Wow, so you hear these things right, I mean, it happens, you know.

Oh my god, I imagine if I just would toughing it out without an eck on for the night.

Yeah, exactly. Well, thank you so much for sharing, Simon, So glad you're okay. Greta in Sydney, good evening. Tell us your story how you survived a disaster?

Why can you?

Oh barely?

But yes, Hi, my name is Gita. I was in ninety eight in Hondura traveling and I met my now husband and I took a bow to an other islands and on the way I wanted to see my husband again, and the boat sank and we were floating in the ocean for twenty four hours.

Hang on, you're floating in the open ocean for twenty four hours waiting to.

Be rescued over yeah, overnight. And the problem was in South America, there was no flares on the boat. There was no life jackets, so we're actually clinging on BCD's diving jackets. Hang on, could lose air?

You you didn't even have a lot dat you were just bobbing around.

No, no, we were bobbing around. Luckily, the chip of the boat was out of the water. With a long roll. We could hold it onto that roll and we grabbed the BCDs and put them on quickly. Wow, and thirty years later we are married and have four kids.

Yeah.

The next morning we saw land and we thought maybe our only chance to survival is to swim. So we started to swim in a big cargo boat. Aim and the cargo bart helped us and rescued us, which they winded down Little Dennis to pick us up. And I lost everything. I lost passport, everything.

And I.

Went back to the island and my husband, my now husband, actually helped me. He gave me some money and because I had nothing, literally nothing.

I mean, I know when we were like, hey, just five a disaster.

I know we're expecting that. All these stories are so handy but incredible. You're around to tell it.

John in Brisbane, tell us your story.

Oh hey, guys, mine's probably a slightly lighthearted one. I don't want to take anything away from those people that had real disasters, but like mine's happened today, right, it's Friday to Thursday, right, I'm moving house and I've broken a mirror.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know if I've survived or not. That's I'm only time's going to tell if I survive a disaster.

Maybe coming.

It does feel like it's coming. I mean, just stay away from ladders and black cats, because if you do another couple, you're really in trouble.

John. To me, it also feels like you heard us giving away movie tickets to twenty eight years later in cinemas June nineteen, and you're like, how can I spin a story to get some of those sweet tickets? Well, do you want to tell you what? Mate? You got yourself two of them?

Oh?

All right, thanks, you get on your.

Mate, John.

If you do survive a disaster, Ma, actually you call us back thirteen twenty four to ten. Rebecca in Sydney, tell us how you survived a disaster? Hi?

How are you going good? When I was a kid, we're in the car driving on an intersection on King George's Road in Sydney, and there was a bus coming through all red lights and mom sped off the car to miss the bus coming through, and it hit the car behind us.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, oh gee, I mean that's quick thinking from mum. I mean darre I asked, was everyone okay?

Yeah?

I any other car though, that's what I mean.

Yeah, yeah, in the other car. Yeah, we stopped and the car got hit, but no one like were bad the bustle and going overly fast. Oh you know what, it went through a red night.

Yeah.

No, you probably would have been fine to take the hit. To be fair, I don't got a new car and insurance.

Okay, thanks to your callback. Michelle in Melbourne, did you survive a disaster.

Yes, a girlfriend and I was traveling from Rome to New York and we had booked a tour for the World Trade Center, but we decided to stay an extra night in Rome. But that was September eleventh.

Oh, it would have been.

There exactly exactly.

Shell.

I'm sure that you think about this almost every day.

The fact that you escaped that that's amazing.

Yeah, it is totally amazing. Like my hair dresser continuously tells her customers my story constantly.

It's a goodie.

It's a good you know, if you if you are a hairdresser, you do need gear, especially if someone's a bit boring and you're sort of half an hour into an hour appointment, you're like, how's this right? So twenty five years ago?

Good on you, Michelle, thanks for sharing.

You're listening to lend dam and loll.

Tomorrow is Trump's birthday, he joins us. Now, President Trump, how you doing?

Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday, dear Donald, Happy birthday to me.

Okay, glad we got that out the way. Hi, uh, well, look at this Tomory.

Was he born beautiful? Why was he born at all?

Quite frankly, Donald tony nine, can you believe it?

Don't look at day over thirty. I'm so handsome, I really am.

How are you gonna be celebrating tomorrow?

Donald?

I'm throwing a big party at mar Lago. It's gonna be absolutely skin rock playing. Barren is doing magic tricks, and Jamie Vance is gonna massage my feet.

Is anyone who's not invited?

Sleepy Joe, he won't be there, Beyonce lending again, he's using thing you know who he is. He runs Canna.

He won't be there.

And quite frankly, what he said about me is just because we're actually gonna play being the tailor on alone. There's gonna be a huge turner. There really is a tremendous occasion.

People have been out celebrating on.

The streets allway, particularly in Los Angeles.

I mean, they really can't get enough over there at the West Coast celebrating. I mean, aren't they rotting from riding?

They're celebrating.

They're pretent I'm pretty sure they're firing rubber bullets at people.

They're fireworks.

I think, yeah, they're a fireworks.

Not for a good reason, they're definitely fireworks. I think one actually hit a Channel nine reporter from Australia.

She was too close to the the accents.

I gotta go.

Good Rocks just arrived a dumpty later.

All right, see it Trump?

Look over there.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bell rog No, it's just Ben Lemon bell.

It's Friday, the thirteenth, spooky and Slam's birthday.

Yeah, very spooky.

Oh we haven't been the show, No, I hope we should on that start of the show.

Oh yes, my birthday, What a spooky birthday to have.

How often does it roll around that it's on Friday?

Thirteenth. Oh, a handful of times. I think I was born on a Thursday in the nineties. Okay, so I don't know the math on that, Yeah, okay, it rolls around.

Well, look, I do think of something else other than your birthday when I hear Friday the thirteenth, though, Liam, Friday the thirteenth to me personally just symbolizes one of the most iconic films of all time, Freaky Friday.

Look, I think something's happened to us.

Look at me, we seem.

To be age old. I beg your pardon.

Oh, I'm like the crypt.

It's so good. You've both seen it. Yeah, yeah, good, good, good good. Okay, well they are you know, they're making a new one right with the same Yeah, with Lizzie and Jamie Lee Curtis.

She has had a few Freaky Fridays itself.

Do you think it'll be Mum? Do you th need to be Mum and Grandma?

No?

No, no, so it's them. But then she's now had a kid. And then the trailer came out. But I can't remember.

Exactly what a fortune cookie.

Yeah it is.

Yeah, they get from the lady at the restaurant.

And then because she overhears the Marguerie anyway, we're not going to get bucked out in the plot. But what we want to do tonight, because it's Friday the thirteenth aka Freaky Friday thirteen twenty four to ten. If you are a mother and a daughter and you kind of sound similar, we would like you to call us and we want to try and guess which of you is the mom and which of you is the daughter our own little Freaky Friday.

If you get involved with this one, we have got a prize worth a couple one hundred bucks. But you have to trick us if you want to win it. So if we can guess who's the daughter who's the mother, that you don't win. But if you can successfully trick us, you are walking away with that amazing prime.

We're hearing voices all the time, and sometimes people just like oh yeah, and you're woh wow you sound Someone will talk about something that happened and like the sixties or seventies, like wow, you sound so much younger than that, Like it's hard to get to read when it's just someone's voice, and then some young people sound really all yeah.

So I do feel bad because if you're in the car and you're a mum who's thirty and you've got like a four year old daughter.

That's not going to work unless your four year old has a grossly deep voice. Sure, all right, let's go to Melbourne first, Emily and Christina.

How are you guys? Hello?

Okay, Christina, how's your night going?

Yeah?

Not bad?

Okay, Emily, what about your night? Emily? Are you there?

Yes?

Oh, the phone's really.

Sorry.

I mean my vibe straight away is.

Christina is the daughter and Emily is the mom who can't work out. It's just like, I think, do we get that right?

You know?

Yeah?

We did?

We so did. Emily was trying to call on an iPad.

A very young name. Emily, I would have thought.

Yeah, okay, well what this Karen? Hello?

How are you.

Good? Thank you?

It's Korean?

Okay, okay, Well, I would say Karin is a slightly younger name.

Really, because I straight away I got mum energy.

From really okay, Well you haven't met Adele yet? Yeah?

Adele? Good evening? How are you?

Yeah?

I'm good.

She sounds like a younger edge to a voice to me.

Okay, but it's like your voices are similar. I gotta say hate Karin.

Do people tell you that you sound similar a.

Lot sometimes, especially on the phone?

I think, Ah, what about Adele? Do do your friends ever tell you that you sound like Karin?

I'm not really small like looks.

I mean, Adele is definitely the daughter and Karen you're the mum. Correct? Sorry, Kin, Yeah we're correct.

Yeah you did, right, Karrin. Yeah, my friends are like, yeah, that's what gave it away. We got Yeah, okay?

I mean, you could be studying as a UNI student, you could be studying for work, you could be studying as a school kid.

Before we make our guests the theory I think you guys have gone for is Mary's been like, yes, studying said, oh so glad it's Friday, my.

I mean it's a very hard game to pall someone really good fun.

Though, boy stop coooning.

The next bit's about to start.

Guys?

There you got going very good. You're playing Olivia in a borizza. You having a good night, Livia?

Hey, I am thank you?

All right. Now, the way the game works is we've got a celebrity under the Doner. But tonight, because it's Friday the thirteenth, we're gonna do it a little bit differently. Rather than having a celebrity, we have got a character from a famous horror movie. How are you doing under their character?

So Ben is going to read out some clues, Max and Olivia. Once you think you know who the character is, you just need to buzz in with your name first and then give us your guests.

Yeah, that's good.

Although I'm fictional, my character was formed from the real serial killer Ed Gean. My cannibalistic family runs a gas station slash barbecue joint, selling victims as chili. I'm mute due to an intellectual disability, and my family communicates my roles through the masks that I wear. Mac go for it, Mark, Michael, wo it's not Olivia. Do you have a guess? No, Okay, I'll keep going. My weapon of choice is a chainsaw. I share my nickname with a fashion accessory, and my face is never seen, did you bas in?

Max?

No, my face is never seen, only masks made of leather or skin for my face. Again, my favorite weapon is a is.

It not Michael Wave?

No mate, you already said that.

I live in Texas and I have a leather face.

And I'm known to go for a Max. Let's find out you got a Rite Max. You're walking away with a thousand dollars and a brand.

Thank you.

I tell you what, I don't know how you got that just from those clues. That's crazy, man. That is actually so crazy that you managed to pick that.

No Body is Australia's favorite fluffy dooder brand made from the highest quality, ethically sourced materials. Bonny is making Dudas coll so that you can sleep warm.

You like that feeling in your reel holes. That's the Ben Lamb and Bell podcast.

This very time.

Last night, we were speaking to a guy called Adrian who used to work in a durry factory testing cigarettes.

That's why, for example, there might be a test for throat half striking pact, so you'd have a test cigarette and you'd measure that against another five cigarettes. Scar I just did it because the kickback, so you get out of doing work and you get date of the cricket in the box.

I just didn't realize that was a real job. And he was doing this in ninety nine and apparently doesn't happen in Australia.

Yeah, I went home and told my wife, can you believe there was a guy on our show who was paid to test smoke cigarettes?

Is in that guy goes around viral time in the Chinese factory's smoking all the vapes.

Yeah, and he just doesn't really quick test all the flavors.

Apparently, I think that was real.

That's a real job. Apparently he does seven thousand hits a day.

Like, what respect do you have for your body if you're taking up that.

For off vaping?

Yeah, maybe he uses the money he gets from his job to go to the gym.

Well he can't go to the gym because he can't breathe properly.

Well, let's not judge a man for hey doing some honest vaping.

He's doing the job. He want hit that he can get bell not everyone can working radio. You and you vape during the song, So I absolutely do.

She doesn't anyway, thirteen twenty four to ten, do you have a job that we wouldn't believe? I mean, we didn't even realize this other thing existed. It's a bit of a difficult one. You don't even have to have the job. Now, maybe it's just someone like you know that doesn't like Yeah, this is incredible. But yeah, for example, working out a cigarette factory and testing the cigarettes.

Did not think that was a thing.

Yeah, obviously there's we know carpenters, we know nurses, no teachers, radio hosts. There's a lot of obvious jobs that people know exist. But if you do something that no one really thinks about. Thirteen twenty four ten is our number.

David in Melbourne, this is your friend's job.

What is that?

Yeah, one, that's a job where he has to go and verify the services that are on offer at message places, whether they're on menu or off menu. If they are off menu, then he reports it back to the beau And yeah, they're go in and read the.

Hag on David, you're saying your mate. His job is he goes around and gets massages every day, all day, every day, and then he asks at the end if he can have some special treatment, and if they give it to him, then he reports back to the authorities.

Correct.

Now, the question is David does he stick around to find out if they really do it or not?

He has to go through the full serviced.

I don't know if that's in the handbook.

Is your friend an undercover cop or is this its own occupation?

Its own occupation? Yeah, you can google it.

Is there any special training required for this job? Asking for a.

Friend, Oh, just the life experience, I would say, yeah.
