Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Good morning Pats, Morning boys. How are you shorten? That
gap just needs to be band the truck through it?
Good morning the Star. The show last night been till
Jack Bean till Jack Beetle Jack Star was born.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I wasn't even there last night. How was beetle Jack?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
He did a great job. I tell you what, you
committed to it all. Jack Post arrived in character, throwing
Carter around and stuff like the Beetlejuice outfit. I've never
seen it sort of mixed like that where it had
you had drawstring chinos because obviously the Beetle Juice pants
didn't fit all.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It was a bit of a mismatchment.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Out Thankfully, Eddie Perfect did arrive in character an hour
later on.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
The top half and cape that was from the magician
part of me. Then the Beetlejuice jacket. Then I was
given the pants. But they were so big they were
cute anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's like, honestly, and you were six or four man,
so I mean, how who were they four huge giant?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
It was like it felt like I would be surprised
if they paid any more than fifteen dollars for it
was classic.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It felt like wearing a barber smoke.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And I put the pants on and they had no
belt loops, so there was no even tit and it
was honestly like wearing clown pants, so there was nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
You're going to see the magic wan a different kind
of magic wan. Halfway during the.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Show, the white chinos were my closest approximation of the
bottom half.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Of the Beetle juice.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Black and white look a bit more like Bogan Juice,
Boken Juice, Boken juice. However, that all your three magic
tricks were great, Thank you, you did really really well.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
And was it lovely that the team had found Melbourn's
darkest venue. At one point it was so dark and
that couldn't see the god. He said.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
It was bad.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
It was bad for the crowd because it would be
great if everybody in the.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Body see them. At times because it was so dark,
I could see what the card was, so it was
all time for as to go to bed.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
It was so dark in there. A lot of the
tricks ended with and you'll have to take his word
for it, the car was looking.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
There was a lot of squinting in the dark, trying
to see what the cars were being shot, and they
were all crowded around and everyone who came, all the
listeners came. We all crowded around, but it was so dark,
and then I heard people going, it is it was,
it's just so dark in here, which.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Is a shame, because the tricks did work, That's what
it was so bad.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I think it was a new kind of thing. Any
amateur magicians listen to this magic in the dark squinting
at cards and I don't know if you saw it
because you were in character. But Q is our video guy,
so he was he was he was filming it, so
I don't even know how he fell over himself.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well he fell over my magic.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Very hard to do, you know, he fell over that.
And then at one point he was like Lucky was
recording the audio of it and Q was filming it,
and Lucky kept getting in his shot, so they were
having some sort of It was like a bicker between
two like two members of the A V Club at
school and who was going to And I was tapping

(03:08):
on a show like it down because there one business.
Everyone else was watching a young man in a hoodie
who looks a bit fairer like we've gone from the
streets of Saint Kilda. Quexaly died it down down av
club notes.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Because especially because it was so dark, so dark he.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Was, and he was crouched down.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I guess he wanted to getting It was like he
was like upskirting or something. Are we filming an eighties
pop video? Now it's thriller here?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
So then it was like someone was crawling along the floor,
like Column from Lord of the Ring.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
We distracted.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
We put on a hell of a show that wasn't
meant to be a show, because I think at first
some people thought it was part of the show, the
show that wasn't the show, and it was all just
going wrong. But it was just like two audio visuals
fight bickery.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
They knocking over the table.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
The fact you couldn't see it, it looked like we
were trying to do slapstick version of magic.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
We weren't. We were trying to.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Do someone Please tell me, why is there someone else
dressed as beetle juice.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I don't know, because you looked better than me.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
I was going to say to him, give Jack your pants,
but you can't. These days, I can't speak to someone
like that Christian O'Connell go on podcast to your right, Patsy,
everything you set up to. You saw the show Saturdnight
Bee Tool Juice is an amazing musical. I've not seen
the legend that is Eddie Perfect before, the only one
I can compare his performance and such a natural, big

(04:32):
energy and a just so talented in a very effortless
way he had It was like Jack Black, my god,
Oh my god, it's just like it's effortless with him.
It never looks like he's having to try and do anything.
Oh my god. He had the whole and that theater
is beautiful as well. Is it the region? Is it haunted?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I reckon it would be absolutely not as much as
a Princess theater. Though who has Federici the ghost in
one of the stalls?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Well, I can not Proghossy.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yeah, it wasn't an opera singer apparently who in the
late eighteen hundreds I think suffered a heart attack on
stage and people see him seated in I think it
might have been in the dress circle area. There's been
several sightings of him, including I think Bert Newton, the
legendary Burt Newton claims to have seen him.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Wow, I've noticed you've coming in a new outfit today.
Did you go you are? I think you've got an
illness at the moment. Why are you shopping so much?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, I did shop yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I timed everything badly yesterday with the beetlejuice pre drink.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
The team were getting very stressed. So we're like, we
told him five forty bloody late. I said, you have
to factor this in. Whatever time you say, he'll never
be there. There there's always a problem with traffic that
he's surprised that, I think because he said to me,
you were like I was a staying character. Was that
the traffic was worse than I thought. It's rush hour,
they're rushing. It's never it's always like this. You can't

(05:57):
be surprised.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
By I think we get used to working these hours.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Driving in at five in the morning, free rise, the
only time of the day I know. So I went yesterday,
had to get her phone fixed at Chadston and she said,
do you.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Want to come along?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's like, yeah, sure, why not, I've got nothing to do?
And there was what wasn' until I was over there.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
You weren't coming in from Chatty, were you.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm in I live in the north.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
There's no way I'm getting home from Chadston and they're
back into the city five o'clock in the oven.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Wait, the traffic just leaving Chadston is always so heavy.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
But I went to Chadsten in my gym gear, so
walking around sweaty in a T shirt and shorts. So
I googled is there anywhere at Chadsten you can take
a shower?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
And I didn't have a hotel.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
There's a place called a visitor lounge.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I couldn't believe my life.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Go to the visited lounge where they have showers and facilities.
Sadly they've stopped using this shower now. I guess it
is a bit weird to just let strangers walking through.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Why I don't know. But now that she said, a
shower hasn't been up and running for.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
So what what What did you do?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So I didn't.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I just went and bought new underwear, new socks, and
went changed in the toilet.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh no, you haven't got we haven't got your old
gym care in a change. Well done, you can adapt.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
And then I had on my beetlejuice or beetlejack outfit
in the car, and that's when I went and tried
on the pants.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I was like, these are way too big. Exciting to
go back into the shops and I was looking for
safety pins.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Where do you got, mister jeans things?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I actually went to David Jones and I asked, do
you sell safety pins? But this is sage. I was
already running lay so much good.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
So where did you get changed into the outfit that
you didn't drive in?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
From chance to like that?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I parked in a parking garage in the city, and
then in the parking garage got changed into the look.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
We dealt with it.

Speaker 6 (08:30):

were fantastic. And the show, Oh my gosh, what an
amazing show. Thank you so much for choosing us to

(08:53):

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Another wit where she was going on a fair old
lick speaking then then a magic how do I say
it politely?

Speaker 6 (09:03):
This, my friend and I were absolutely blown away. The
drinks and needles before him was amazing, and bill Jack's
magic tricks what was it?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
What was he doing?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Anti magic? Is it? I guess you'd call it deconstructed
magic or something.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
The room was working against me?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, no, no, no, you did a great job, honestly, honestly, honestly,
Jack did a really great job. You arrived in character
and as always with with Jacket, it's never just turn
up at this time, let us know you then come in.
That's how it should have gone. It was like he
was late, surprised by traffic, and then hiding in plane
view the plane, hiding in front of a large window

(09:47):
where we all were. So I keep selling, people said,
gather around, he's going to he's going to come in,
and then he's going to walk through, and he's just there.
I know I was trying to get angry with someone,
and don't want to be angry Christian. I was going
look the other.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Way, my defense. The bar was so dark and through
the seeing through that window.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
I actually thought that had a power cut. So I
was out on the street shape proms is lighting problems.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I was on Little Colin Street, just wandering up and
down in my beetle juice jacket and my top hat
for being a.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Magician, walking up and down. I didn't know that you
guys could all see me through the window, very clear
to be revealed through the smoke. But I wasn't No.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
I actually thought, is he just going to walk home?
Is he trying to pluck up carriage? But my god,
then he arrived in character. Here is the first trick.
He's just there by that window.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
This is a trick I call liar's remorse. Without being looking.
Go through the deck, choose one of those cards you're holding.
Show it to your friends, but do not show it
to me. Now, with the powers of.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
My mind, I'm going to be able to tell when
you're lying, Sarah, is the card hidden well in that deck?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm going to show you cards. When you see a card,
just tell me exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
What you see on the card until the card you
chose comes along, and I want you to lie.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
What do you say? I suspect, I sense you're lying.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
You lied?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's a heart? Is that your car?

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh, the trick.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Is done slightly premature.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I have to work on the prestige, which is the
most important moment.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Is done. Also, you kept saying, first of all, like
you had it really worked out. The pattern was very,
very good. I thought he won't keep this up. And
then but the second trick came around, and it moved
from the power of my mind to the power of
my head, which is so way. It just doesn't it's
any one would, but you know limits. And then you
can't have to run with her and through my head,

(11:46):
I will go into your head. I'm trying to catch
your mind. Don't mind, it's it's their mind. Reader's not
every read.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
My friend and I were absolutely blown away. The drinks
and needles beforehand was amazing and buil Jecks magic trick
is done.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
The trick is done, all right? Coming up next then
