Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything dead. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Patsy, how did he go last night? Night? One of
you and Chris home alone with already on her camp knife.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It was really weird all the way.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The weather last night. I thought of your daughter. It's
been sunny, sunny, sunny, t.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Shirts all my short weather.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
And then the day, when you know it, she goes
to camp hiking in the mountains. You may as well
say the Alps, it gets freezing. So I did google
the weather where she is for last night. They had
or have currently a frost warning is current with loads
of about two and three degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
That is, that's harsh. And seriously, if they're in the
army or going through like special Forces selection, they have
to do that. But they're keep so you had like
months some of glorious summer. Get them out the tent.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
No, I know. And of course little miss nearly fourteen
year old won't be told that you need to take
your thermals.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, mom didn't need thermals last time. Cool guarantee those kids.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Did you put a name in all the.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Clothes, Well you've got it, apparently.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Big arguing with us and Lois as Lois Is like
she was so self conscious that age, and like, no,
you're going to be one of those kids and went
and we were like, you won't be to talent. It's
your thermal top. Someone could steal your fleet.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Price, fleece market prices, the real proper thing. Oh yeah,
don't you get me started on waterproof gore tex. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
So first night Chris was at a bit of a loss,
like instead of having Audrey to annoy, he had me
to annoy. No, it's like a little dog following what
are you doing now?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He lost his playmates.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It was like you know when you're in classroom and
the teacher leaves the classroom to go and fetch something,
and it's like, oh, we've got all this opportunity to
do whatever we want to do.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
If I was getting that swing out again, I told
you we don't ever want to know about that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
No swing involved.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But it's get the toy box, and I don't mean
toy story.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
You're also exhausted because it's such a build up, packing
them up to get them ready.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There is an emotional kind of ye and you must
have been I bet you were worried last night, is
she having a good time? Is she O came well?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I kept waking up through the night. I was worried
that she was cold because she insisted on not taking thermals.
But she's at that age where she is independent and
she is making her own choices. So I guess if
she doesn't.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Take it, praise their own knees and she will be okay.
She'd be okay, And I bet she'll come back absolutely
stinking exhausted. Ideas after those three or four day camps.
Will they literally sleep for like two or three days.
They just out, But they have such a great time
because actually times it is generally quite hard. It is
really hard. They live a life really where we protect
them so much. Actually, when they get out there and
(02:54):
they and it is tough, it actually becomes this credible
kind of bonding thing.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, I wish we had more proper camping in high school.
We only did the kind of camping that's really you
go to cabin and there's a big kitchen and there's
a camp stuff making your food. It's no like make
your own fire, cook your own food.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
We don't know this at any UK because obviously you
took in the winter. Don't you don't survive that weyn'to
that class. They all die year because all the kids
didn't make it out. Maybe well, we've talked about doing
taking the show to a camp site. We should, but
we can't just do it for like we go on
a Thursday, we just do Friday, we go back to
our bed. It needs to be like a week bad
(03:34):
with those shows get because we just get grumpy and
like my backup, I can't and snappy with each other.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Now we've waited till the winter as well. We should
have done it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, you're right, let's wait till summer. Them we go
Christian Color Show podcast, Jack and Pats. I need your buying.
I can't stop thinking. We have to commit. Promise me
you're up for it. I am that we actually go
to a campsite and do a couple of days living
there and doing the show together.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I want to do it real, yes, not show business version.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
There's no damp no glampine. No come on. If we
can't do this, what are we saying about who we
are as people? Your daughter's doing it now set an
example to a person.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Lord, you can bring your guitar.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Jack, it might be campfire, all right if he's bringing
his guitar, not going.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Guess you know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Honestly, one of one of the reasons that I took
up guitar is there's a scene in one of the
Mighty Ducks films as the credits roll, where they're camping
together and they're playing we are the Champions on acoustic
Guitar around the campfire.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I thought, you are booked. Okay, that's the performance for
night one. The night two you can do more of
your magic tricks. So are we going to do this?
So I'm thinking we do Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Why aren't
we doing the full week? I'm not crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, that's already a lot. That's too much.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I would say. So we go, we do Wednesday show
here and then we head to the campsite, and then
the Wednesday night and the Thursday night and then we're
doing so Thursday and Friday's breakfast show there.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, So then so that's spending two nights out in
the bush. If we do Wednesday show here normal, then
we go out camp overnight Wednesday, overnight Thursday, comeback Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yes, I'm in, but it's going to be proper camping.
If we're going to do it, it's got to be
like legit. No cabins or cabins.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's not camping. It's tense pitch. It's sleeping on the
floor cold. But great news is get up still the
same time and do the radio shown listeners. There's no
treat in this for you. You're going to hear three grumpy
people and getting grumpier. What's Friday's normally that big vibe,
no vibe, No I reckon by like Thursday or Friday.
(05:42):
We're in three separate tenths doing our leaks. We were
just microphones, Lord of the flyers. Are we doing it?
We have to do it before the end of the year.
It's yeah, when it's warmer. Yeah, how warm will it
be in November? On the ground? Not in the on
the ground? What's on temperature? Have any of you even
got tents?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I've never even been here.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We have a tent.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
We went camping as the family once and we just
left the campsite. I'm not making us up at half
five just we're meant to be there. We want to
be for the weekend. Oh no, we made it first up,
but we left about half five morning. Yeah, yeah, and
we'll be there with friends. And I was just like,
see went straight to a macas and just went home
and everyone was all happy.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was the straw that broke the kens back. It's
always the mattress.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It wasn't just that. It was just at one point
during the night, I just heard this noise. There is
that water, and my wife facing me on the potty
in the in our tea, and I was like, this,
this can't be my life.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Were meant to put the party in your tad.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
We're not campus, we're not campus. Suddenly she's facing me.
She was like, she was just like, look away, Chris, you're.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Not meant to.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wow, look away, Chris, look at me. No, no, no,
look the other way.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You know what we have to do before we go
on a loan. That TV show where they go out
on they themselves, they do like a week's training of outdoor.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We can actually need some skills. Yeah, I know. Are
that these tempts that you can just pop up, aren't they? Yeah?
We need those because I din't doing that thing with
the old mallet.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
This happened to me camping with Bianco, and I've only
been camping with her once I went camping every year
with my dad.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So I was like, what a great thing to do.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I know how to camp. Then when I took Bianca camping,
I realized, oh wait, Dad.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Did I.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Didn't even bring matches.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We got there using that little flint thing and that
thing they rub together in their hands.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Know how to do none of them.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
We have no skills to it. Oh my good. Also,
it's dangers camping here. What about snakes?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, we need to know first day God.

sounds of the night. You hear a lot of no.

studio door, it's a hive of people coming into chat.
A little bit quiet in the last time in sense,
I've announced that we are going to be taking the
show to a camp site, not clamping. And we are
(09:06):
three non campers.
Speaker 1 (09:08):

Speaker 1 (09:51):
We'll have to have a campfire. We'll be making a campfire.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
This is the number one thing I'm looking forwardunate. If
we'll have a campfire, Oh my god, one hundred percent.
I'll be the fire guy. And then oh, this is
going to be great. So we don't know what we're doing,
but we are going to We're thinking we do this
in November.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A way for it to be warmer.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, wait for it to be a bit warm on
the ground, to be a lot, a hell of a
lot warmer. And then we'll go on a Wednesday and
do Wednesday and Thursday night and the and the morning
breakfast shows. But we're there all day. No leaving the
camp sign. Yeah, can't go home now because we don't
know what we're doing. There be a lot of people
listening to this, and imagine tusking. There'll be a lot
of tusking right now from seasoned campus.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
City slickers listening to these guys, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
My god, listen to the old city folk. They are
going to struggle out there. What camping hacks do we
need to know? All right, because you still want to
hear people who actually can do a breakfast show. For you, guys,
it's in your interest to try and stack this in
our favor. I just want as we'll have to just
be what do you do when you camping during the day?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's yeah, there's a lot of friend there's a lot
of friend talk.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Can we take a laptop?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
No, no, when the country the country walk and then
it's Netflix and chillns in the tent.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No, no, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
To access my news headlines I need.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's easy. One of the team will go and find
the hell ton from an easy agent bring it back.
You just read out that the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Perhaps do you know how to make moonshine? Don't they
drink that they make moonshine camp sites? Perhaps you'll have
some family recipes for that, won't you. I just presume
that you, Patsy, would have been a regular camper.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, no, I know you would think that, but no.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Because of all these stories are like swimming creeks and
fine crocodiles and swimming down that creek to get to
school and stuff like all those stories we hear.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I know it is surprising my brothers.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Do you know boating, fishing, camping, all that.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Not me, You're too busy in front that type right
to typing out the news at the age of one,
which you live sitting along and I meet with Cliff Richard.
This is a banger from the sixties. Oh yeah, wait
about life in the country. See, this is what we'll
(12:04):
be singing every morning at six o'clock to start the show.
I've decided we're taking the show on the road to
a campsite. I don't mean clamping, I mean a proper
camp site, okay, and we're going to camp there together
for a couple of days and do the breakfast shows
as well. I've just done a look because I've got
a camping chain. Never been camping, but I've got a
camping chin and it's the June I've got from Canaconda,
(12:25):
the June four wheel dive Deluxe Lounge Recliner. You all
need to get this. Here's how I see it. Six
seven hours were upright, then we get to eight o'clock.
You crank the little gear. You're in the recline. Now,
welcome to the recline, now and the show and recline.
I can't wait to hear what giddy heights we hear
when we are in recline.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We're not going to be relaxed. Camp camping is like,
you'll take it out of you. How do you mean, like,
because we're going to be collecting firewood, chopping wood physically hard,
We're getting physically hard. We'll be tired each morning.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But then you've got all day long just to sort
of sleep in your tent avenue. There is a lot
of massive loads of down time, all right. So a
lot of people are giving us advice because we're not campers,
which is why this is a very bad idea. But
we're going to do it in November. Christian, why don't
you go to camp sign and then during the day
go gold prospecting.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh yeah, we can take pans.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
We need a metal detector.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, they go panhanding, don't they? Old school it. I
hope that's what you're doing with your hands. Christian. What
about Jack's seapack machine. You will have to have.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That for the last two years straight. I haven't missed
a changed your life.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You can't have that where.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I'm plugged in, So I guess we have to run
the generator over the camp sign if yous to put
more petrol.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
We know what we also need, like a campfire supervisor
because we can't let the fire go.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I love a fire Christian Morning Team. I'm a regular
camp and when camping during the day, see what you
do as you Jack's wright. You spend time collecting your
firewood and then you just sit in front the fire
all day, drinking and contemplating the universe. This is pretty
much my dream life, to be honest, I'm so ready
for that part of it. Chris Christian, you'll need camp chairs,
Anthony Posh, use a camp stretcher, trust me, that is
(14:16):
basic comfort. Obviously, sleeping bags a generator. Generators are often
frowned upon, but you will need one obviously for the show.
But people hate people generators to crank it early in
the morning. Akay, that's us on like five am.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
The generator. What it does is it ruins the atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We need to come to the show. Generator. Unlet's do
on bicycles like bicycle power Whose turn on? The treadmill. Yes, Steve,
good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
How I am.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We're good Steve. So are you regular camper?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yeah we do. Yeah, we kept a few times a year.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And what advice have you got from us? Because we're
literally beginners rookies. Ah.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Look, there's a few things you're definitely gonna need. Like,
you're gonna have running water, so you're gonna be somewhere
where's the rubs. You can have running water so you
can get fresh water. You're can have a swim or
wash there. Or if you have a keg sitting next
to the campfire, you pour cold water in the top
and spout out the side. We use one of them.
We've got running hot water. The whole time.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I thought about where we're going to shower.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You got a shower?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
No, we're not doing that. We're not stinking it up. Please,
do you have shower blocks there?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No, we've got propper in the book.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You're thinking of a caravan park, have.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
A bar and restaurant, the cafeterias.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's what camping is.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
There's three camping spots and you've got long drop downey
is there, so that's all you get.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You get, not.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Enjoy the smell of that. Yeah, in the long dropp done.
Those smell great.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
The drop toilet is actually luxury because without that, you're
just digging a hole.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Dropped does. Drop toilets they make you wretch.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
They're disgusting.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
They are disgusting, like half five and all those baked
beans and something that snacks on the night before.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And I don't know why, but I always have a
look down at Yes, it's like looking at the car.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
What have we done? This is the start of a
very bad idea. Christian O'Connell show on podcast
