Open doors and party fouls lead to stolen cars and epic joyrides! Tradies get rewarded with beer and discover nasty surprises in roofs, while listeners share cringeworthy reflex fails involving vomit, knives, and even a vasectomy.
Is there, Nathan, Nat and Sean a lot too.
Instead of a tight ship at our house, and everything's under control by the time you go to bed, I mean leave. Yesterday, when I got out of bed and I was just getting all my stuff organized in the morning, I walked down to the kitchen. I was just going to drink some of food and stuff, and I noticed that the back door was the sliding door wasn't shut properly. It was just a bit of jar. And I know that the kids has been going out later on and I've gone to bed early with them, and I've just thinking himself, I've got to tell these kids to sharpen up, because you can't go leaving everything.
Open't say as kids when they don't close the door properly, it's like it's you've closed it. You've closed it ninety five percent of the way and the other five percent you couldn't do. It's puzzling, isn't it.
No, we all used to do it.
What were we doing?
I don't know.
You just closed the door.
On that same and that's same priority.
Yeah, I'll go to the kitchen. The dishwasher is right next to the sea right, and the bastards put their plates in the scene and walk off.
How hard is it to just open the draw and put it in?
I remember because the teenager sean impossible.
It is impossible, And then when you ask him to do they give you this look like it's got nothing to do with what we're talking about. Get anyway, So after that, I packed on my gear and I started to head up to the front of the house and saw the dog, our German shepherd, which is a large German sheperd. He's inside now he's an outside dog. He sleeps in the garage. He sleeps in the garage. And I always think there's no one coming into our house because I've got a large German shepherd. He barks at everybody coming.
No Rex is ma. He's gigantic.
Yeah, So anyway, he's inside. The door is shut, it's not locked. So I then opened the garage to go into the and.
The bloody garage door is completely up.
The light is on in that area, and my wife's car has got two doors open. The senate console has been right rifle through. And then she had some dry clean and not dry clean. She had some clothes in there. She was gonna drop off to Good sammis and stuff like that.
We all have those bags, Sean. Was anything taken from the car?
There was no There was no monetary or that. I'm not sure she hasn't really checked properly of value, but I just know that there's no keys in there.
What I'm more concerned about was all the things that you borrowed off the neighbors still there.
I don't know.
I haven't looked actually to see if any of the other stuff had been taken.
Yeah, because you just have not even thought about the car. But what about everything else in that gar Yeah.
Not at all.
But I just I was driving to work. I only told me this last night. We're in bed and she just started.
So if they get in, if they as they could walk into the garrots because the garage door was open.
Then is that you've got a door at the back that just.
Leads straight into your house presumably, Yeah.
And normally, and no one's been locking it lately. Well, you don't because the door.
The garage door, so you can't get into that area anyway.
And there's a gigantic normally a gigantic chairman shepherd.
You're not going to get it past him. But in all the levels. The door was open, dog was locked away, the door of the house was open, the back door was open. We're just inviting people to come in.
And because people will break into a house, sure, but when it's open, like, why not?
Yeah, that's right.
Literally, if I'm walking, I'm not a fief. I'm walking back to someone's doors. I'll go and have a look.
What do you mean some slice turkey?
You want your sleep for a bit?
You're maybe draw you film? Elie? Are your sick club for security at your home?
Yeah?
I love to lock the doors.
My dad is terrible. He's got a padlock on every room, a dad bolt on.
Treasure of most of them, though, wasn't it.
It's insane. It's like he's guarding the queen's jewels, and it's like it's not just piles of crap, give guarding piles and leaving the garage door up and just saying come in?
Have you been making it easy for the robbers?
Hello, Sophie, good morning. So okay, what happened?
And I got home actually this week and the garage door was wide open. My husband had left it open from six it was four. I run a business and I have easily ten thousand dollars worth of stuck in there his golf club.
He's just spent a.
Fortune on tools.
Yeah, nothing was.
Taken, but I thought, well, it's his parn't going to play play with him. So I decided to take just a few of his golf clubs and hide them, just to teach him a lesson. I'm like, I don't think anything's gone missing, but you have a look, he's like my golf club.
You know what, Most crimes are opportunistic, right, So you are thank god that no one in that time that was a criminal.
Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it. So when you live again, you've got Yeah, but the.
Actual dress ten thousand dollars worth stuck to move gum tray.
Well we need a trailer, just a couple.
Anyway, Well yeah we'll get this stuff off you hold.
So thank you Steven.
Hello, how are we going?
Did you make it too easy for the criminals?
Yeah?
I left my keys and the ignition of my car and the shops.

Yeah, not shops, Yeah, that's carousels.
And was it still there when he got back?
Yeah?
I was what do you have to do to get your car stole those days parting.
Every time I can't leave, I'm surprised, always driving different.
Thanks Buddy, Louise is in Goddle Hello, Hello.
Then surely.
I've moved down in the world a little bit. I was in South Pair when it happened, so back in nineteen ninety nine and moved out for the first time with a girlfriend. And then basically one night it was a bit like a mill Road's play set up. We've got all the apartments with a pool around, correct, Yeah, and we hadn't. We had a party upstairs and we were on the ground floor and I stayed up there to that three am. But my friend went back down and passed out at about midnight and had proceeded to leave us back sliding doorage art. And because we were on the ground floor, our gate was near the entrance where there's no security. The security gate is further up, so someone has just let themselves the intent on all the lights, rummage dur all our stuff. So on my SLR camera, my car, keys and my mobile phone, nothing occurs. And proceeded really to drive my car, went and filled up my car, Keetchel and drove it like seven hundred kilometers over the week and found in Conning.
Oh wow, So they went on a bit of avent ches. It's just so unlucky. When were living in north Bridge this time, we used to leave the front door open all the time, and we heard the front door open one day and then close, and then later on open and then close again.
We'll wait there. No one's you know, in Pipper's bedroom, which is at the front. So we go into Pipper's bedroom and all that was missing, and she had her laptop and everything. There was one pair of thongs they were next to like sneak like brand sneakers and stuff lined up and they took they.
Were trying to get into a club. Thanks Louise. It's the Nation Matt and Sean podcast.
We are talking about the concept of over compensating to tradees and people that are doing services for you, like you're super nice to them so that they don't get revenge on you.
Yes, and that's the thing that Claire Hooper was talking about yesterday on the show. She was worried about hate trash being put in the walls because she thinks that that if trades are displeasing you they put things in your walls that will lay there on smell. There's a trading out there that can confirm or deny that that happens.
Might not just be the smelling bad jo. Yeah, yeah, Suason three, oh, hello, good morning.
What have you got for us?
We built a house that ten years ago. Every every morning I'd take morning pea smoko for my trading, and if the traders were there for the whole week, they'd get a six pack on the Friday afternoon.
Adds a bit to the cost of their bill, doesn't it.
I was used to think when we were bringing the turps around that now these buses going to drive.
So as that said there, so there is a cost, But is do the benefits outweigh the cost what you get back in return?
I think so. We actually had some of the trades turn up on the weekend just to.
Finish the Yes, yeah, this is the thing.
And the builder actually gave us access to start putting in like the lawn and the backyard garden, so when we did move in, it wasn't just a sand pit. Yeah, no, I reckon it.
Yesay.
If I was a trading right, I would get really excited if the person's house that I was working on. If they walked out with a tray of sandwiches, yeah, I just imagine that a trail of sandwich. So I got something, you know what I mean. That's because when someone just gives you a sandwich you haven't made by yourself, isn't it great?
You do love a sandwich. I love a.
Sandwich more than most.
Thanks so hat everyone. Lawrence is in Belcad.
Hello, good morning. Now we don't Laurence.
You've got the trading side of this. We're very intrigued to talk to you. What have you got for us?
Yeah?
So I did, as you can tell boy in the accident. I'm from Dublin, Orleans, so I did the apprenticeship there. Remember, gown to a house. It's like a rich suburb in Dublin. And the lady was a nightmare from starting to finish. What time he is getting here? White their feet and said can I use your toilet? She goes absolutely not. You can go down to the pub.
Oh yeah, yeah, but you were. You were going to be planning on the line some cables.
No, I was going to check the plumbing because.
She sounds like a night man.
Yeah yeah, no, she was. She was a bleeding nightmare. So long story shorts me. Boss says to me on the last day, he goes, just pack everything up, put it into the van, and I says, yeah, no, dramas, I did that. And for minutes later he comes into the van and you know, I drive down the road and he's just laughing, just giggling to himself like a little child. And I was like, what are you laughing at? And he goes like goes, and I was like, what did you do? And he goes look down at my feet and I was like, okay. So we pulled up the legs of his trousers and he won sock on and I was like, where where's your brother? He goes, I had to wipe the air someway and.
Then wait where he put it?
The shotguy.
No, he went up into the attic to let's sit there so it'll be nice and fermented. She wouldn't know whire to smell was coming from.
Oh nice, it's been nice to training. There's a lesson there.
Absolutely don't be annoy man, don't Yeah, yeah, there.
You go, Lawrence retail, whatever you do whatever, you're like, yeah, back and one out in the rooms.
Nice.
Wow, thank you Lawrence.
I want to just put it in the attic though I would have put it in the air conditioning, right.
I get it was Dublin, though they might have the heating that would have really yeah, the heating really that's.
Nice anyway, that's why Lawrence had to leave Ireland. Ruby.
It eats three morning rooms morning Ruby, what have you got for us?
So it's not a trade, but my grandma actually cooks sweets and treats for all of her doctors. So whenever she goes for an appointment, she takes a little tray.
Of good smart because it's what happens, right. So normally you ring up the doctors say I need to say a doctor, and they're like, oh, we haven't going thing till Thursday week. They will find a spot for her, guaranteed.
Well, to be honest, the doctor's office will probably cold call her and say today because I.
Forgot my life.
She don't have any morning tea, So what's some of the things on the menu.
It's mostly so she makes for claver.
Oh Yuma, so she takes that all the time.
But it's actually got to a point where some of the doctors have started cooking in return for her.
Going on that is so good, That is so good and so smart.
What are the benefits, Like Natalie was saying, you know, they might get a smart appointment. What is she what is she reaping from this relationship?
Well?
I reckon that least spot on that I reckon. When she needs an appointment, they shut her straight in.
Yeah.
It's the Nation Nat and Sean podcast. We know you've got really.
Sharp reflexes, but some of the times they work against you. When something's falling or you just go and pick it up and it's dangerous, like a cactus with a whole heap of spine. Yeah, embedded in your palms.
You don't grab it by the point of beer. Hey James, Hi, Hey, going good James, James. Are you calling us from Dunsborough?

So I was unloading a truck at one of our warehouses and had a guy delivering some bedding to us had a set aside rails for a bed that was leaning up against the side of his truck. I've turned around to walk away, and I don't know, spidy senses told me something has fallen behind me. So I've spun around and the railbox had fallen, went to grab it and just torn the muscle off my bicep.
Oh yeah, so you put you tore the ten bone.

Company, like like a sock stuck up in your hands.
Yeah yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
James, did you have surgery?

That looks so gross. Yeah, for sure, that looks so gross. When they're not being operated on, they still look and you lose streng.
James. Not a not a not a thing that I have to worry about. I have nothing to bunch.
Up, just like a shoelace.
It wouldn't be a pimple.
Good James. Thanks money there is in COVID.
Hello, Hello, Hello, great Sarah.
Did you instinctively grab or cat something I did?
I did.
This was a few years ago. At the time I had three young children and I had brand new carpet, so I was quite protective.
Of the carpet.
Anyway, I had gone back to work part time and I was in front of my class and teaching. One of the kids walks up to me. I don't feel well, she's green in the face. Next minute, projects our vomit just comes out, and my instincts just went into overards, grabbed forward, grabbed and caught the woman ended up all in my hand.
That is a mother's instinct to protect her, to protect her carpet.
This was the school carpet, so this wasn't even new carpet.
Really, yes, but it's just in your brain at the time. I'm going to protect the carpet at all costs, any carpet.
You caught my child's vomit. I just sit with that for a fact.
That was a skill that you could transfer into making some money out of it.
Do you know what I mean? Because you deserve it.
God, no one's amazing.
No one catches spew like Sarah Spewey hands Sarah, thanks Sarah Maddi's in Southern River Hall.
I morning, Hey, what happened to you?
So I was eighteen, I just for the school and I was studying cheffing, and our teacher was teaching us how to sharpen our knives. And as I've passed my knife that he was using me as an example, He's sort of like bang it on the side of the table and when it dropped, just put my hand down to grab it, caught it by the blade. You know, cheffing knives, their raisors.
Slice straight into my middle finger, straight through the tendon. And now that I had surgery. Not long after, the surgeon came in and said, it doesn't look too flash. We're hoping it will help, but it didn't. So now whenever I'm walking around and hold something, I'm giving somebody the finger.
From me. It stands at attention twenty four to seven cannot ben my middle finger. So if I'm ever ever carrying anything, it looks like I'm giving someone the finger.
Don't You don't ever want to get done for anything and then be on TV leaving court because people are going to think that you're being an asshold with repentant.
Yeah, Maddy, if I'm on TV leaving court, I think the fingers the least my problem.
He Maddie talks about your life, What would you be in.
For upstanding citizen pulling the finger at the tops obviously the problem.
Hello Mandy Hill, Okay, what happened? Mandy?
Well, it's it's Christmas Eve and my chest is to have a few bottles of champagne on Christmas Eve.
We know that's a very good tradition.
Yep.
So I'm in a bottle of dom and decided to blaze the hands big ham got the rind off, I'm scoring it and you know it's slippery, and the knife fall and I instinctively just put my leg.
Out to catch the knife. Yea many.
With scissors and then never the sharp bit for got me.
So what happened?
How?
How did that end up?
So I looked down and going, well, that's not good. I've got a knife stab in my car and over to the front door and yelled out to my husband for a little bit.
Of a hand.
And he thought, you just wanted I just wanted him to put the hand in the oven or something.
It sounds like saying I need a ham, so yeah, and he.
Just like looked at it and going now you're going to have to figure it out yourself, and throwing a bandage at me. And I just sat down put my leg up and kept drinking my bottle of.
Dom Did you I just say something, Mandy. I had an article yesterday that made worldwide news that Bradley Cooper, who is dating had it. He opened up a car door for her, right, so that made worldwide news. You had a knife in your leg and your partner said, take care of it yourself.
It's a band aid.
Oh, Mandy, that's beautiful. But I mean Lisa had champagne and Matt's in Rockingham. Hollo, hey, Okay, what happened?
I had one set me a couple of weeks ago, and two days afterwards, I dropped the folder and instantly went to catch it. And as I've gone to catch it, everything my body said not not happening today and dropped me to the floor in the middle of office work.
You absolutely can't make that, lad, Do you know what I mean?
Way?
How are you going to hit yourself with the folder?
That's how? Because Matt, that's so I'm cringing.
So many people say it's a piece of cake getting them for sector me, and then there's the other half agoing, Nah, this is just not good at all.
Going through it was fine. I was a little bit uncomfortable for a few days afterwards. But yeah, two days later, trying to catch a folder and considering it's only a four, follow there on the floor in their bosses laughing at me.
No, is it even just as hard to get up from that position sitting on the Foreign Office works after every sectary?
Yeah it was.
It was not great.
The boss was laughing at me for a thirty second before he thought he'd try to help me.
Why am I giving you.
A laugh first? Then help?
That's the way, guys.
