spare bedroom? Or and you know it's kind of like
now you've got the empty nest, what do you fill
that empty nest with?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Step here, I'd really like to get my husband, David
tickets to see Evil Dead the musical. He's a really
hard worker. He's always there for the kids and he
never gets any time to himself. I think he'd really
enjoy this as a Father's Day gift.

Yeah, thank you very much. Lines up and now what
dad want? Thirteen fifty five twenty two. Give us a call,

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Next The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Jimmy Barnes already mountain high five to seven eight, carry
over the five. It's five away from h That's what
I was doing there.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's advanced masks, just as some of the young kids are.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
At my level.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So many guys might have thought it was stumbling over words.
But not at all, not at all. Amateur radio presenter
Dave Higgins who does the show after us, and he's
coming on very well.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It's a young kid. If you met him, you and
the game.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He's sixteen sixteen. He won a competition in the local paper.
You know, it's a lovely little story. Anyway, he said, Christian,
no way on the second floor.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Are we thirty meters up? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Think of a ten meter Olympic diving platform. Ye, it
ain't three of them. I'm sorry I listened to your mate.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I'm sorry I wasn't listening to Greg laganas there's no
way I reckon it's twenty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Under twenty for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And it also says.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Who could we ask who would have a job, would
have the actual proper tools to be a swing by today?
Jump out the van or ute and set up something
where they would measure elevation. What is that that you
know that you know when they're before they build something.
It's got orange legs and orange tribe and then they've
got a mate down there with a piece of string. Yes,
we use them quantity surveyors. I oh, are they surveying
(04:14):
quantity is elevation?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Sure? What about?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I know they're busy, but they're not always rushing around.
Would the fire brigade mind getting a ladder up.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Which doesn't have a ten meters and measure?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't see any fires around, so I think they
should be fine to just swing on over.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, Kaitlin, is that something you could do after the
show today? Just we're in Richmond Firehouse.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I can give it a go.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I also have a friend that is a fiery, so
I can ask her if she wants to go up
a ladder?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, please, just I just need someone that it can
measure once and for all. Is it twenty to thirty meters?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yep? All right? So where were we? Oh? Yes, what
a dad wants? That's right. So this height thing of
the building is really perplexed me. What a dead?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Once?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
What a dead meant? Something better?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Dan, I'm asking you so Colin and tell me.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
My kids actually answer me, es, what do you want?
I think I might change everything. Now, just get some
of that measures elevations. Then I can go around and
just dows are my friends when around the house?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Come?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Hey, do you remember the way your house is seven
point eight meters high?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
With my new measurer, I've always thought when people ask you,
what superpower would you have? I would love to be
able to know the distances between any two things immediately.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Anyway, we're doing what her dad wants. Dad's what do
you actually want for Father's Day? This Sunday? Call me
thirteen fifty five twenty two. We have one thousand dollars
a day to look after the dad. Caitlin's on the line, now,
good morning, Caitlyn, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Thank you, Good morning everyone. How are you going?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh wow, I'm just going to leave Kaylin Hay in there.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
She will kind enough, you know very well at the
moment they're trying to measure the hight best. So I've
got them an important business Kitlin is it is it
your husband or your dad?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
It's my husband. But it's twofold because if I get
this with my husband, then my father in law will
be very very happy because I would love to get
my husband a whipper sniffer so that he can return
his dad. The amount of comments I've had of where
is it?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Where's it going again, it's become a source of tension.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Oh, he's gone to the point where he's actually writing
his name on all of his tools.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh wow, I mean we do that and my fairy
with the chargers, but tools.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Yeah, so there's lots of tools around the house with
carrying on it which is not my husband's name. So yeah,
this will be a great Father's Day gift for him.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And for my father in You're right, it's a it's
a double dad gift, doesn't it. It helps two generations
of dad's come back together and unite.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
That's right, and they're big Ryobi fans. I've had my
eye out on one. Yeah, buddy around.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
My little rechargeable lawn mower is a Ryobe as well,
and I've got a Roby leaf blow as well. Yes,
for smaller plots their ideal. Those whipper snippers though, I
mean small thing, big rage. They are a nightmare of themselves.
You you're actually giving your husband rage because it's a nightmare.
(07:14):
They cut like a meter of the grass and then
they just need that little bit of string teasing out
again the cable.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, but that's his pop on.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's you're the peacemaker here, these two warring fathers. Yes, granted,
wish you can have a round your iby whipper snipper.
Speaker 6 (07:33):

Speaker 1 (07:52):
My stupid kids right I asked for I asked for
a golf driver for Silas down and said, you got
to stop breaking your golf clubs.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You know, I get it when I know when I
was learning golf and I stopped trying to learn it.
My last ended literally launching a driver in to a
hedge and just driving off. I think my sevennine is
still there somewhere in Hampton.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Now I get it. What do you wrap it round
a tree or a train that had snapped off? Rob?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
