Don't have time to listen to the full show? We got you covered on the Nathan, Nat & Shaun Quickie, all the best bits from Tuesday, 27th of May’s episode!

The Nathan Natt and Sean Podcast.

I was just reading an article yesterday about a lady who was sharing a really or she was living in a townhouse situation where there was a number of townhouses in a row.

This is just in the.

UK, so shared walls, am shared walls, really paper thin walls. She was talking about great to meet so many different peoples in sitting living in a kind of situation like that, because these great neighbors can help you out with a lot of things.

Very common scenario in the UK. Two it's dense population, not in a lot of rooms, so that's what happens.

Yeah, she was talking about one neighbor that came knocking on the door. She said that she described the neighbor as being one of those people that wears a lot of tidye organic organic. So lady knocked on the door. She's normally very pleasant. At this stage she was and she was holding a plant, a pop plant in her hand, and she wanted to talk about the fact that the Wi Fi in this person's house was affecting her plants.

So she's claiming that the neighbour's WiFi is impacting the health of her pop plants.

One hundred percent.

She wanted to negotiate that the router that was a new router that was set in the house be moved from one side of the room to the other, or the possibility of the Wi Fi being turned off between ten and ten pm and six at six am at night, and therefore the plants will have their time to generate to flourish.

What do you say to that? Sure that happens to you, You get that. I worry for the person that does that to you. What do you say, Megan?

Some requests from neighbors are very interesting.

That is a random one, is all.

We like, that's a bit cooker, do you know what I mean? Like, that's the WiFi is impacting my plans.

You get planned people, But that's that's that's plants and wife, that's next level.

That is they're the ones.

That I think that maybe the thing we don't know about.

IG is impacting them as well.

You know what, Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying.

The next time we have Costa on, we'll have to ask him if that's a thing we.

Don't that's right, Maybe it is no expert.

But also asking somebody to turn their WiFi. If I was like, no, that's not saying can you turn your water off for a while? You need you need your WiFi. Even when I'm asleep, I need my WiFi. Leave me alone.

Yeah, late night scroll.

I had this is no whe years bad, but I had my neighbor knock on my door and we ended up. This came quite an issue because she said, can you not use your dryer before midday? So like from nine am to mid day because she did night shifts, but like I was doing my shift at the time, was the only time I could do drying. Yeah, So I was like, but I need to do my.

So what time did she not want you to use your dryer.

In the morning?

Tool about midday? That's a reasonable time to be drying.

Do you know what I mean?

If you're doing I get I get it, like it's hard for ship workers hard, but also what are you supposed to do?

Just wear wet clothes around?

Yeah.

She went to the I don't know whatever it's called, the council or the strata people.

I was likeyh his usual is dryer? Are you kidding me? We went to war?

What did the strata say?

They They just had to be like, hey, we have to let you know that this has been filed, et cetera, et cetera.

But we're not probably going to do anything. They can't do anything. You're allowed to use your dryer in the middle of the day.

That's ridiculous, amazing, Yeah, ridiculous neighbor requests, right, yeah, for sure.

Ross Brittany, Hello, Hi, how's it going good?

Okay? What did the neighbors ask?

So this was back when I first turned seventeen and got my license, and I remember Mum and my stepdad taking me to get my Holden Brina. I'm very excited to come home in it and parking up, and I swear it was like within minutes our we're living in a colderstack or I lived in a couldersack and we had a lovely Chinese neighbor who basically ran over and was just devastated that my regro plate ended in four. I was so worried about my safety, Like she just wouldn't stop because.

It's bad luck.

And I decided to take the plates off and we drove to the licensing center and we stopped them over. Didn't want me to drive the car, wouldn't let it go, and just wanted the best for me and.

My you know, my new spot.

It does a good place. So tell me about the number four because I didn't. I don't know this is I.

Believe it the superstition.

Yeah, I think I believe that the character for four is similar to the character for death, and so it's too close for comfort.

Yeah, so Bacically, she was just very worried and we you know, we couldn't. It was one of those things where it was coming from a good place, but we just felt like she was not going to drop this.

I know, it was just easier to go and get new plates and Britt by the time she's talking to you over this time about the number itself, if there's one percent doubt in your mind, that's too much as a new driver, Yeah.

That's it.

And I just wanted to start driving, So I just thought these will be quicker.

Having an argument where your neighbor every every time you're trying to leave the driveway, that's a crack.

Thank you. Sam's incolm Scott Good morning, Sam.

Say good morning.

Sam talks to us. What did the neighbors ask of you?

Well, it wasn't My neighbor was actually my landlord. I was living in high WICKHM at the time, and it was a really big backcount I had, and the owner he decided to subdivide it and so he did that, and he was in the process of still doing work out the back and he ended up putting up a new fence for me. And I woke up one Sunday to my phone going off. It was him, and I went outside and he's on the back He's on the other side of the fence and he just threw an extension lead over my fence and said, hey, can you please.

Plug this in because I wanted to use one.

Of these machines to work out the back of being okay.

The power bill right.

Yeah.

He didn't even offer to pay, and he just and I felt like I had to plug it in because it was his house.

That's rude.

Rude, that's rude.

Instead offered some sort of compensation a slab for example, it's exactly that problem. It does it does? Yeah, no, unreasonable, thank you. Sam Emma is in free O.

Hello, Hello, how you doing.

What did the neighbors ask of you?

Well, probably would have been better if they had of asked or spoken to us, but we live in quite a small street. It's turned over in the last five years, and there's lots and lots of kids. There's about nine kids. So we have a bit of a bike jump coming down a hill across one corner of my neighbor's lawn, just a tiny corner of his lawn, yeah, and then right across my lawn, right across the other one lawn. Do the jump off you go, and they do it over and over and over again and anyway. So six o'clock one Monday morning, my husband takes the dog for reward and the bike jump is on my neighbor's driveway with his ball drive in reverse, and he is going to drive over it and slash it. So my husband walks up, grabs the jump from behind the bole drive, just stars me in the eight, walks it back to our house, puts it back on the lawn where the kids were having fun. Appreciated a chat, but hey, destructing property is probably much better.

I love that he was doing at six am in the morning too. Is a hit studo over that all night in this day comes daybreak, this thing goes. That's next level. Like the people that hate children having fun, It's crazy.

I grew up my cold de sac had a pathway down it so that and we had exactly the same setup. We had jumps and that's how you, yeah, learn how to ride a fox can.

That's the best one in the world. It's having fun. They're not on a screen. You know, you let them do it.

This is the Nathan Nadd and Sean podcast.

Time to cross to more Well in that regional Victoria to catch up with our old friend Channel nine's Amber Johnson, who basically more Well is her life now.

Good morning Amber.

Good morning guy.

Can you see your time when you won't be in more Well at this point? Amber?

Oh, I'm actually loving it.

I think I'm gonna I've been looking at some properties down here thinking about taking up residency.

Okay, it's a farming land.

That's Stockholm syndrome, that's what that is.

How far are you.

From the coach down Because not too far?

Oh no, who were actually talking about this the other day? Because no, it is quite far from the coast. There's a lot of fish and chip shops.

I was really confused about where this fish.

Is coming from.

So okay, so what's that? From what I understand, the latest they've been cross examining a health official who was one of the people that you know, was asking Aaron Patterson some questions about the mushrooms in the first place. Is that what's is that where we're at at the moment.

Yeah, that's exactly right. She had some very interesting evidence yesterday. So basically, so she worked for the Department of Hells and she was contacted by a doctor who was told, hey, look we've got this case. All these people had a lunch and they've fallen incredibly ill. We need to try and find the source of the illness. So that was her job.

So it was a bit of.

A wild goose chase to try and figure out what exactly happened. So she actually was in contact with Aaron Patterson when Aaron was in hospital claiming to have gastro like symptoms. So she was having a lot of I think there was an initial phone call and then it ended up being a bit of a text message exchange where she was trying to get some further details from Aaron Patterson, asking her, you know, did she serve any beverages with the meal, what sort of spring onions did she use? What asian grosser did she go to to get the mushroom? But it was in her evidence that she told the jury that Aaron Patterson allegedly wasn't overly clear when she was answering the questions about the outbreak of the illness. And she also said that some of Aaron Patterson's responses actually changed throughout the conversation. So she'd initially told her that she bought all of the ingredients on the Friday night before the lunch, but then that later changed to she said that she'd purchased them over the course of a number of days. That's a bit of the evidence that she gave yesterday.

Did she give a specific Asian grocery place or wherever she was shopping for them to look into, Well.

That's something else that this Health department workers there changed. So when Aaron Patterson was asked about what gross so she thought she went to she couldn't remember exactly, but she gave three suburbs, and then as this health department worker was talking to Erin over the course of a couple of days, one of those suburbs then changed, So there was a bit of shopping and changing, which is something that the health department worker raised to the jury yesterday. So, yeah, they're all in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs.

Does that really matter if they just get a credit card statement and guy, she's been there, there there and or.

Has that been submitted into evidence?

Is there is there evidence of her paying or is she claiming that she paid cash?

No, we haven't seen any of that ever, But that's actually a question what this health department worker asked. This is something that we heard yesterday that in one of the text messages she asked there in Pattison whether she used a card to make the purchases. But then it got to the end of the day and her evidence wrapped up. But she will be back on the stand this morning again, so we're expecting that she'll be the first witness to be called up, so we should be hearing more from her today.

How much songs are going on for Amber? Do we know?

That is a million dollar question.

You can't make any plans, can you, No, No, not at all.

So the initially there were five to six weeks that aside for the trial, so that.

Was a bit of an estimate.

But then, of course it just depends how long the jury might be deliberating for. So we're in the fifth week now, so five weeks and more. Well, and yeah, so we're getting towards the end of the prosecution case. Then what happens.

After that is that it'll be over to.

The defense if the defense would like to call any witnesses, but the defense doesn't actually have to if they don't want to, they don't need to call any witnesses. And then after that it'll go to closing arguments.

Do we go with Aaron Patterson's going to take the stand in her defense?

No?

No, And we've actually yeah, so no idea, no idea. Yeah, So the defense hasn't alluded to whether they will be calling any witnesses LA law.

They never used to put the people out there and suits is in particular, don't take the stand not documentary.

On one more thing, I've just gone back a couple of days. But the online searches she did was this before the meal and what was she searching?

So this the evidence actually didn't link directly to Aaron Patterson. This was a number of devices that were found inside her home by police. So there was a computer that was seized from her home after the lunch, and when it was forensically examined, they found that before the lunch. In twenty twenty two. So the year prior, there were searches on the computer for a website called the Eye Naturalist Website, and you might remember that's the citizen reporting website where citizen scientists can jump on and document different species they might find in the wild with photos and maybe GPS coordinates to where they found that species. So they found searches for that particular website on that device and on another device that was seen from the home. It was a Samsung mobile. They found it was the Facebook chat messages that were quite interesting. So there was a Facebook account with the name Eron Aeron Erin that was sending group messages to a group of women on Facebook, allegedly some strong language about her estranged husband in his family.

So whoever was using.

This account was describing Simon Patterson as being gas lighting and abusive at times and described his parents' communications style as weasel words.

So that was all.

Evidence from a digital forensic officer. So he actually spent four days on the stand.

God jeesu, this is going to go forever if we got the detail, because you're just trying to find every link to pin.

And it's going to be sixty five. You'll be retiring before this.

Thing is having a long service leads.

I'll be oh, I'll be absolutely haggod by.

The Thanks so much for the update.

We'll check back in with you because I don't think it's finishing anytime soon, but it certain is captivating the world.

So thank you today.

Thank you guys chatting to you.

About to Johnson Channel and I knew it's the Nation Matt and Sean podcast.

Time to catch up with this guy.

These players palms are sweaty, their knees are weak, and their arms are heavy.

Can they take their one shot, one opportunity to win our twenty thousand dollars jackpot.

I'm Todd Woodbridge.

Let's find out on tipping points.

Wow, one word of eminem.

You can tell you can write that trip.

He's sounding good.

At least did you at least watch eight Miles by the Way top?

No, no, no, great, yeh, focus on dad jokes. Now for tipping points?

Sure? Oh yeah, okay, that's that's that's your wheelhouse now, isn't it, Todd? And it's going The show's going really well. He must be really happy with it.

Crazy. It's it's you know, eighteen months ago when I got a call to go let's Yeah, what do you think about doing a game show? Game show? I said, oh, I'll have a crack at it. It wasn't really on my bingo card that I'd end up with the gig and it would be the success that it's been because the show's just having an incredible run, and I guess so much so that we're getting the odd time. We're heading into primetime, which is even more.

It's very exciting, and obviously we've got the Travel Guide special happening.

What a crossover.

Yeah, I know there's going to be some noise on this show, Todd, You.

Are dead right, that is for sure, because you know, normally our episode is three contestants. Well, we've got three teams. We're playing in teams. We've got Kevin and Janetta, Matt and Brett, and then he got the boys, Dori and Kevin Tang and well, I mean, if you watch Travel Guards, you'll know that there's chaos with those three and then three three fellas trying to work out one answer. It's not easy, so you know, I had to kind of let them all go. And it's some very entertaining and funny stuff, and of course we're playing for charity forty thousand dollars jackpot on the line three hundred dollars for every counter that comes over the tipping point. So there's some good money on offer, and it's it's cut up to be a fantastic episode, so I'm sure all your listeners will really enjoy it. And the guys are all playing for charity and that's one of as well.

Hey, Tod, it's so interesting travel guards, right, we're talking about this. It's been such a successful show. I'm not what person who dives into it head on, but from when it we first started, you're like, these guys have got the best gig in the world.

Yeah, you know, I got to obviously I chatted with the mosque off set and all all the like, and you know, they go, oh yeah, it's really busy. It's quite tough. You know, we're filmed six months a year, I think six months a year to get this done. And you know it's fascinating. You know, listen to them. They pack a bag, they get told, you know, what type of clothing to take, and they get to the airport, no idea where they're going, and they go off and I mean, yeah, what a gig.

Signed me up. I'll just riching gears. Obviously you'll be commentating. Roland Garis, you're all the goal, Yeah, you Grand Slam winner. Just do you ever play social tennis?

Not a lot? You know, I'm actually being invited to players I usually do at Wimbledon. So I played one tournament a year. It's called Wimbledon. So that's not bad.

What a flex. That is the best thing ever.

I couldn't even imagine.

Somebody's like, we're playing in the you know, a doubles tournament at work, Can you come and be my partners?

Anybody who tried to that happens, it must have been. I'm actually out trying to have a little bit of a practice at the moment, just to make sure that I don't embarrass myself when I turn up there. But as in terms of social centers, no, not that often.

But problem would have to take it seriously, wouldn't you.

Yeah, everyone wants to beach and they say that and they did this, and then then my cranky old temperament comes in and you know, I start acting up like Nick Kurrios, and it doesn't look good.

I doubt it.

Come on, So I have an occasional hit and that type of thing. The problem I find now is that I still hit the ball. Well, I mean it still comes out of the middle of the racket, but I visualize myself running and the top half seems to move over, but the bottom stuck in the same place. And yeah, my movement ain't what it used to be.

Yeah, we're all kind of the same.

Well, I'll get your predictions.

Is it on the men's side, Is it just Yannick Sinner or Carlos Alkraz?

Is it al Koraz?

Probably over Yannick Sinner?

Yeah, you know, talking about the rolling Garrits which is underway and working on that at the moment where we're on nine jama each evening. Yeah, but yeah, you're right. Calos Alcarez comes in as favorite. He's had the best play or run. But part of that's because Janick Sinner had the twelve week suspension for the issue with that.

Where do you sit on that time where yeah, that seems like a bit of a slap on the wrist.

Well it is.

But if you go and read you know which you can go online read all of the documentation Cinner, it was was basically proven that he didn't deliberately take anything. It was one billionth of a gram. It was not performance enhancing that was in his system. So yes, he's had to take a break, and it is a bit of a slap on the wrist, but in some ways it's actually given him twelve weeks to go away, freshen up, getting the gym. He looks, he looks really really stronger, and he came back in his first tournament, lost the final of Ryme, which is a big one out for us. So it's all set up for really for those two to meet in the final. They've never played in the final of a major before. It's the first time they've been seated one and two at a Grand Slam tournament. So it's got a lot of stories there written and I think, you know, after a slight favorite, but it's really really good. And on the women's side, you've got Saber Lenka, Goff, Everybody looking at Egostrion Tech going can she win four in a row? That'd be the first time in Open era of tennis that anybody's won four in a row on the women's.

Side, up and down years out of form.

Yeah, yeah, But I just got to say, finally, like we saw a couple of days ago. Rapha Nadal was on it. He played last year, retired after that. Fifteen thousand people just putting on a red and chanting. Raffer's been quite an extraordinary sight.

He deserves it.

He's unbelievable career.

Yeah, absolutely, all right, Well we love you work.

We can check out the tennis the French Open on nine GM and tonight at seven thirty on Channel nine and nine. Now the Tipping Point Travel Guide special.

Love you Work, Todd, Thanks thanks for having me.

Then this is the Nathan Nadd and Sean podcast.

If you're watching the news last night, you would have seen it all over the shop about the adult who decided to choke.

One allegedly sewn allegedly said, that's why you're here. Keep me in line. If if I'm the legal representative, we're.

In trouble, you know you go to sport. It was a junior soccer match in Mindari. The visiting team was Whitford's. It's alleged that a Whitford supporter strangled an eleven year old player.

Yes so, it says.

Following an investigation the Genda Up detectives, the man was charged with one count of impeding another person's normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure to the neck.

Very technical, isn't it that? Very technical?

And like how many times do you go to a kid's sport? I mean wid it every weekend and like to get to that level.

Well, it can get that way and for the most part, we know that going to junior sport is for the most part, really good and it's fun and parents get involved and there's.

A good and also time. But some people take way too seriously. Are there eleven? Nobody's playing for sheep stations at eleven?

Surely no, we don't know how this incident came about. What get and he'll be able to defend himself to a degree, But settle the f down with you when you're at these events, please, And you know there's a parent maybe that in every group that gets a bit boisterous and get full on, just remind them we are playing for sheep station, don't. I don't coach until these trophies on the line, and when people can understand that swearing is.

Part of my vocaph. Eleven, h haven't you been banned from the league? Yeah?

Right, okay, I'll take you on anytime. God damn, you settled down.

I got calm down exactly. We do five year old sport with oli. There's no scoring.

All the parents know the score. Why the kids do too, just quietly.

The kids know of them, can't count, but they.

Know who what no scoring.

And the mums my wife and one of our the other mum's raker. They are the most vocal. They are the most vocal.

But what are they getting? So they're just.

Cheering usually, but Bella did surprise me, my wife. She yelled, not yelled, but let the opposition know.

The stick's too high on it.

He hit it too high in the hockey floorball. Yeah, and I was like, whoa, calm down, Well yeah, check yourself, every cheat yourself, yourself, Calm down. It's children's sport. It's children's sports, and the umpires of.

Children as well usually, so yeah, go easy on them as well. You're not going to get AFL level umpiring because you know what, they're not playing AFL.

What an't it? That's true? Calm down, take a deep play.
