My dad was born in nineteen sixty eight and he
was adopted when he was a baby. In his forties,
he found his birth mother and learned that she'd had
kids not long after him, and they had all gone
to the same high school together and had been in
the same sporting settings and group parties and all that

This is a lovely email I got this week from
Danny Christian.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
What are the odds?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
My beloved mum Zora passed away after a strong battle
with cancer. She was loved by many. I'm sorry to
hear that, Danny. However, she had one clear request, no wake.
Many people came to a service. Afterwards, we decided to
gather for some light refreshments in her honor, not classed
as awake.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
You're right, you don't, you don't, you don't want to,
you don't upset?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Stay with me? What are the odds? My brother was
born on March to twenty second. When we ordered an
uber after the gathering to head to the not wake,
the car pulled up, stopped us in our tracks. The
number play read oh Wow, Zora twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:12):

Speaker 1 (03:15):
This is Danny's as a photo of Danny rhyme by
next to the car plate the red Joe wow we
Zora twenty two. Talk about a sign. It literally is
a physical sign. You know, people see feathers and rainbows
sometimes and stuff like that, but Zora twenty two, this is.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
One of the most incredible ones we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I can see if the Danny we let us put
the photo up on our socials as well. It's incredible
because you know, when he felt like Mum was having
a cheeky laugh with us.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
She knows you want to like no wake.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
She said to you, you don't mess with the Zora.
You can mess with the Zohan, but not the Zora,
making sure she still had the last word, right and rightly.
So Mum should always have the last word, Danny, beautiful,
beautiful story. All right, let's leave it there when we
come back after it would take your stories. Give me

us a story she promised me was ten out of ten,
barely a one out of ten. She's back with another story.

Christian O'Connell Shaft Gone Podcast, Christian, just you know. The
saying wouldn't know them from a bar of soap originated
in Australia around nineteen thirty eight, appearing first in print
in a cartoon by Stan Cross for Smith's Weekly Patty.
You've got that issue, haven't you? Probably in the other
(05:07):
day you showed me. Actually, she said, it's almost done.
A cross word. It's been working on a few years.
Just two words sure, the phrase which means to not
recognize someone at all, suggest a person is unfamiliar as
a blank unrecognizable bar of soap. A really me put that, Peter,
(05:28):
thank you very much. I'm actually I've always thought that
we should do this right, is have a weekly feature
on the show oz Slang where we actually make a
note because there's so many of these, and when I
moved here, I did start to put a note of
them in my phone because it was like learning a
new language, because all these phrases that I had never
heard before. That is a new one for me. I've
never heard that one before. But maybe tomorrow we open
(05:51):
up for the first time ever the oz Slang where
we can actually keep these great sayings, because otherwise some
of them will just they just fade out, won't they
they need to be preserved.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Rio, and it's good to learn a history of them,
because I mean, we say them our whole last we
actually never know where they come from, what they mean.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Really, Christian, I've just had a live. What are the odds?
Sound the collects and we don't have one live? What
are the odds? Believe it? What are the odds?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I work at Maya Southland. That's not what are the odds?
I just total to sell that means added up. I've
worked in the cells and was let my customer know that.
It came to nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Just as I said, this came on the speakers.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Wow, what are the odds?
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Big one?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Guys, we've landed the big one. I love live ones.
I love I said to Rio. Actually kind of me
to go. We need to start feature real time radio
where if there's something we're talking about and you see
it right front of your eyes like a Grace beautiful
by the way, Grace spot's this alive? What are the odds?
It's real time radio.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It's ready to go.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Thank you. All right, So let's take some stories right now.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The good news is that we don't have to go
to producer caating so already today is winning Wednesday, but
there's always next Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
How many more Wednesdays have we got into the end
of the yew.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We've got to kill? I think probably about fourteen or it's.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
A long path ahead of us, guys.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Day by day we fight the good fight. Tim, Good morning, Timmy,
Good morning, Christian. How I'm good Tim? So what are
the odds?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
So myself and my wife and my two kids, we
went on a holiday to italyit to go and meet
up with my parents. And we got there, they said,
we'll look after the kids for you. I'm go and
have a weekend together. So we got on the train
and went to Venis and we're walking around. We're in
some Peters Square and we thought, oh, great place for
(07:59):
a photograph. Let's get someone to take a photograph for us.
So we turned and stopped the first couple that walked by,
and who should it be but my child's teacher.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Yeah, Jan, So Peter's going, what are the odds?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
There's so many people around there, thousands and thousands of
tourists that you could have selected.
Speaker 2 (08:19):

Speaker 6 (08:20):

Speaker 7 (08:20):

good day, Marty. Good morning, Marty, Welcome to the show.
What are the odds, Marty, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Morning team.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
A couple of years ago we were at camping Glen
El River and the kids are there and they're looking
at the rope hang off the tree and thinking I
wouldn't mind having to go of that, And I said, look,
you've got to be very careful when you do that.
A couple of years ago or ten or so years ago,
guy did it, swung out rope wrapped aroundy lot of limb.
So oh, she was no good. Anyway. The next next minute,
(09:07):
guys going part in the boat. It's the guy that
lost the limb. O.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
God, you've got to be kidding me, Marty about your story.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
The producer said.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To me, Marty's kept is one of the those wild
stories we're ever going to hear.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And I wouldn't have seen this guy for ten years more.
And anyway, the funny thing is he went past the
boat and I reckon. Two weeks later, I've seen him again.
He was walking around with his wife pushing the pram.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But the.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
There was a big story at.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The time when it happened. And I think mate, his
mate started having a going and calling him Clock. I
think it was that he's nicknamed.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
So he lost it, he lost a limb.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, so you have to do swing on these.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Right, remember them? Yeah? From the trees over a river. Yeah, oh, creek.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Did it many many times. They did it all the time.
There was a group and they used to always go
in and yeah, wrapped around he lim and basically ripped
it off from from the elbow.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So you hear these stories your parents, those stories, and
they're always grim one people like losing ahead or something.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
But actually, but then to see him again.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It was a young yankie. Don't think he's a or
something like that, but it was not. But and obviously
went back and tried to play footy and all that
sort of stuff. And yeah, but yeah, unfortunate action. But yeah,
I just couldn't believe. I said, oh my god, you know,
look at that. Look who's going past the boat and
you Oh my god, it.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Happened to you.

them over for a Mexican fiesta and I was out thinking, Okay,
I'm going to get some margaritas for everyone to have.
So looking at the recipe, I was like, I have

don't use it for anything else anyway. So I'm looking
for the three hundred mil bottle because all the other
ones are ninety dollars for a full bottle. Animal, I'm
not spending that amount anyway.

No one's looking for a wall of contro for an hour.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
You go through BWS drive through, they got them. Ask
the assistant an hour, an hour its out. This is

Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Oh thank you. When I was a little boy, coming
up towards Christmas time, I was begging my mum for
a pet and mouse. I had mice previously, and I
loved the little things. Now she was Adam and I
wasn't getting one. I kept begging and begging and begging.
A few days before Christmas comes around, I'm snooping under
the tree and I find this little box with the
(13:28):
corner that looks like it's been chewed out, and I
take it up to mom. I'm like, no, what's this?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What's this?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
She goes, oh, look, I got to a mouse for Christmas,
but it looks like it's escaped. So I spend the
next few hours pulling the room up. I was pulling
draws out of cupboards and whatnot. And I get to
the computer desk and I pull out the bottom drawer
and lo and behold, I find a little mouse under there,
and I'll catch a little Buggery wasn't easy to catch,
(13:56):
but I managed to get him and I put him
in my mouse cage and I'm playing around with him,
and my mom walks past and goes, what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I go, I found the mouse.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I'm playing with the mouse, and she goes, what mouse?
And I'm like, the one you got me for Christmas?
And she, who wasn't a messing that to shut you out?
Just a wild many, quickly got rid of it.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Incredible. That is great mommy. That is great moment. I
love that with the perforate edge to make it look

Speaker 2 (08:43):
A couple of years ago we were at camping Glen
El River and the kids are there and they're looking
at the rope hang off the tree and thinking I
wouldn't mind having to go of that, And I said, look,
you've got to be very careful when you do that.
A couple of years ago or ten or so years ago,
guy did it, swung out rope wrapped aroundy lot of limb.
So oh, she was no good. Anyway. The next next minute,
(09:07):
guys going part in the boat. It's the guy that
lost the limb. O.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
God, you've got to be kidding me, Marty about your story.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
The producer said.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To me, Marty's kept is one of the those wild
stories we're ever going to hear.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And I wouldn't have seen this guy for ten years more.
And anyway, the funny thing is he went past the
boat and I reckon. Two weeks later, I've seen him again.
He was walking around with his wife pushing the pram.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But the.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
There was a big story at.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The time when it happened. And I think mate, his
mate started having a going and calling him Clock. I
think it was that he's nicknamed.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
So he lost it, he lost a limb.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, so you have to do swing on these.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Right, remember them? Yeah? From the trees over a river. Yeah, oh, creek.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Did it many many times. They did it all the time.
There was a group and they used to always go
in and yeah, wrapped around he lim and basically ripped
it off from from the elbow.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So you hear these stories your parents, those stories, and
they're always grim one people like losing ahead or something.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
But actually, but then to see him again.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It was a young yankie. Don't think he's a or
something like that, but it was not. But and obviously
went back and tried to play footy and all that
sort of stuff. And yeah, but yeah, unfortunate action. But yeah,
I just couldn't believe. I said, oh my god, you know,
look at that. Look who's going past the boat and
you Oh my god, it.

Alrighty? So on the weekend, it was my partner's birthday
and her friend shares the same birthday, so we had
them over for a Mexican fiesta and I was out thinking, Okay,
I'm going to get some margaritas for everyone to have.
So looking at the recipe, I was like, I have
to get contro. And it's the most annoying drink because
(12:00):
it's just like an orange flavored liqueur and you just
don't use it for anything else anyway. So I'm looking
for the three hundred mil bottle because all the other
ones are ninety dollars for a full bottle. Animal, I'm
not spending that amount anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:13):

and I'm looking and looking over an hour I'm searching.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I thought, no, come on, I listen, come on,
No one's looking for a wall of contro for an hour.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
You go through BWS drive through, they got them. Ask
the assistant an hour, an hour its out. This is
story is an hour.
Speaker 8 (12:35):

Hello?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, that's it, saved by the Ben. Yeah, good morning, Ben,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Oh thank you. When I was a little boy, coming
up towards Christmas time, I was begging my mum for
a pet and mouse. I had mice previously, and I
loved the little things. Now she was Adam and I
wasn't getting one. I kept begging and begging and begging.
A few days before Christmas comes around, I'm snooping under
the tree and I find this little box with the
(13:28):
corner that looks like it's been chewed out, and I
take it up to mom. I'm like, no, what's this?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What's this?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
She goes, oh, look, I got to a mouse for Christmas,
but it looks like it's escaped. So I spend the
next few hours pulling the room up. I was pulling
draws out of cupboards and whatnot. And I get to
the computer desk and I pull out the bottom drawer
and lo and behold, I find a little mouse under there,
and I'll catch a little Buggery wasn't easy to catch,
(13:56):
but I managed to get him and I put him
in my mouse cage and I'm playing around with him,
and my mom walks past and goes, what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
I go, I found the mouse.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I'm playing with the mouse, and she goes, what mouse?
And I'm like, the one you got me for Christmas?
And she, who wasn't a messing that to shut you out?
Just a wild many, quickly got rid of it.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Incredible. That is great mommy. That is great moment. I
love that with the perforate edge to make it look
she had me pulled, but not quite enough though. No Ben,
great story, Thank you very much. A Christian O'Connell Show
