Speaker 2 (00:16):
App Got anything good?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast yesterday. I
got this great text from Spencer Christian. When I was
in high school, my dad brought his first of a
brand new couch. The only rule was no eating or
drinking on or near it, So, of course, when he
was out one night, it spilt orange juice all over him.
(00:39):
I rang my eighty year old Nan at eleven at
night and the panic to us, so they cleaned the
cushions before he got home. To this day, he has
no idea to happen. So that is why we want
your stories about what your parents Stall don't know. My
dad you know, I'm a fifty two grown up man.
My dad stall doesn't know because I keep them hidden
when I'm around him. That I have tattoos.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh, surely.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The one I first got is eight years ago. It's
on your wrist. I keep it covered up a worse
shirt jump on. My kids are like you. You've grown man.
You live the other side of the world. When I
was back at Easter time because I had a new one.
Then I was made sure that the sleeves were pulled
down to ground me, ground me. I'm fifty two. What
(01:25):
is it about the power parents have over us any company? Yeah,
I just know my mom knows Dad would frown on it. Interesting. Yeah,
so it's just like, you know, it's funny, isn't Now
he's sort of grown up. You want their approval. And
sometimes when you're with your parents, like who you are
and your time and your life now collapses and you
(01:45):
pick up like an old character when you are ten
and you do, you go time traveling, you can get
You're not a ten year old Christian anymore. You're fifty
two year old man who lives in Australia. What do
you worry about your dad? What's your tell you off?
Take your pocket money? It's not no, it's not It
says death to all. And so yeah, my dad's still
(02:08):
all doesn't know I have a tattoo? What's your parents
still not know?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Back in high school, me, my mate Cooper, and my
other mate Jordan went to a Grinspoon concert in the
city Great Song. We got picked up by her mom
and dad at midnight after the show and we rereaked
like just wreaked of alcohol, came home, dropped Jordan and
Cooper off, and was getting a proper Allison Lee dressing down.
(02:34):
I still remember us. I still say, you really think
we're that stupid?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Do you think we're that stupid? We wouldn't notice.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Well, someone's got to go under the bus here, and
it ain't me, did you bet Coop did? It's actually
the loveliest, like one of the nice Cooper got us out.
He was hamm'd. I actually haven't had a drop, Mom,
but it was hammered. That was his breath, stink of it.
We were telling him no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
(03:02):
we don't we don't do that stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But he was insisted picked the wrong one. Anyone has
a dodgy mate, don't they. You always peak that one.
It's not the good one. They don't believe that. It's
if it peaks Ian, yes, or some shady mate. Yeah, okay,
So I'd love it they listen to the podcast. I'm
sure that's you.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I'd love to know if Mom still thinks that it
was Cooper or she knew.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
All she knew. There's no spider alerts in this one.
Patsy watch your parents still not know.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Mom doesn't realize she will now because they listen home.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Mum.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I used to sneak into Mum's Christmas trifle sherry, under
the bench in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Have a little sippy set, just a little sipy, so
sweet on my lips, and Mum would tuck me into bed,
her and daw to be watching the DoD Laine Show,
and I'd sneak down and just have a little squaky
sweep and then back to bed.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Used to sleep like an angel.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What really? Yeah, that's so old school, the pants origin story,
like an old man. That's like such a funny repellion.
It's such an ancient drink. Yes, it's the drink of
grandparents and moms and dance, isn't it? Sherry? And you're right,
always at the Christmas triflele Christmas time is the only
time I've never seen it out. Yes, that's right, so sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So sweet, like a bottle would last five years. You're right,
that's trifle.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yes, I love a trifle.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Makes a mean try.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I love a trifle old school, you don't. You don't
see the round so much anymore, Jelly, that terrible trifle.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You haven't had one of mine.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh, bring it to Christmas and we'd put it right
at the back of the fridge and so she couldn't
see it, actually could. Would you make a trifle for us?
I would love that. Will as long as you going
to be any sherry in it. We know where it's gone.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Pats like you did my aunt biscuits.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh no, they were jawbreakers. What's in the trifle? What
layers are we talking?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's like a jam fancy cake and and you you
drench it in alcohol, let it sit for like twelve hours,
and you have custard, and there's red jelly, and there's cream.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Jelly sponge going on. All parts work.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yes, it's like a sweet explosion.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Jenny, sponge, custard.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
They all meant to go together in one of They
do colours, whole world of colors, Humans, desert.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I want to try.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I do want to try, but I'll make little individual ones.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And if you could be bothered, I would love that.
I haven't had a trifle in years. You have to
have a good trifle, so that'd be nice.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Oh this is a good one.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well, it's any way your mum could make it. Yeah,
just a flashback to those biscuits. It was four years ago.
I still haven't passed it. It's actually undigested in there
an antique coin. Nor pats make me an anzac biscuit?
All right? What do your parents still don't No? Thirteen
(06:09):
fifty five twenty two For the best stories we have
family passes to go to the Melbourne Roll Show Christian
O'Connell Show Gone podcast. What are the odds on the
way after eight? Right now? What do only mom and
dad still know? All those years later? Hello to Jerry,
(06:29):
he's just got back from his holiday in Bali. Nothing
to do with the story, but it's just nice to know.
I always like to know what your business, what you're
up to? Christian. When I was growing up in Ireland
in the seventies, my dad would give all the relatives
a box of biscuits for Christmas. My sister and I
would open up the wrapping and eat the good biscuits
from the bottom lay of the box and then rewrap it,
shove it back under the tree for my dad started
(06:52):
to pass on to relatives minus any decent biscuits years
gone by. He's dead. Christian's past we never knew if
he knew or those SS I just said anything to him.
I love that, Jerry. I can imagine that. Who didn't
see sometimes sneak under the Christmas tree, unwrap a present
to see what it was, and then wrap it back up.
(07:14):
Me and my sister always used to do that. Christian.
My parents stall don't know. I lost my driver's license
for about six weeks. I was speeding through Brayside and
a cop sitting in a factory driveway with a radar
gun book me. It was the start of a long weekend.
So with the loss of triple de merit points, I
lost my license instantly. I used to visit my mum
and dad's house at least three times a week. I
(07:34):
had to get my boyfriend now husband to drive and
park out of the front of the neighbor's house next
door so Mom and Dad wouldn't see him driving my car. Laborate, Christian.
They still don't know. It's over thirty years ago. Thank you, Brackets.
April Bracket's not actual name. Thank you very much. Please
(07:54):
keep them coming. You can text me oh four seven
five three, one oh four to three. Let's take some
stories on air now, Steve, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
How are you going, I'm good, Steve, that's the caller mate.
So what do mum and dad still know Steve?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, my parents I know that my me and my
brother this share vegiens that there was three rollers. We
used to sneak out of the regiom at my time
catch up with our neighbors and because of the having them.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
In the neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
To this day, I don't know about this.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Do you break out of your bedroom? Your words? Catch up?
Like you got much to catch up with when you can?
How was going today? What's geography like? By it's just
going to catch up, stay in touch. And what would
you do at midnight there? I ask?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Well, have you never heard of the game knock at Ginger?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Oh yeah, I used to love playing that, Yes, before
there was the internet. Well, basically you tell you tell
rio Steve.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
The ginger would be like you would just walk down
the neighborhood, knock on like someone's door orring the doorbell,
and then you would just hide and you would just wait,
just look at their reaction list.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We didn't have tea top, we didn't have Instagram. We
had Knock down Ginger. I know that as Ding Dong dash. Yeah,
there you go the same thing. How is the fun?
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Holiday fun?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
How the fun? They always used to know as well
at this, I don't you know your parents are? And
you go, oh my god, oh my god, they know
what lyrics are. It was one thing to get yelled at,
but the dreaded phrase we know your parents are? Do
you know what?
Speaker 8 (09:22):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean? We get back? Why don't we go and
play with listeners not doing ginger? Why why say goodbye
to all that fun? I actually think I would. I
would love to go and just knock on a strange
door in the suburb I don't live in. Is it
bloody Amazon drivers? Yeah right, if you if you find me,
(09:49):
you win a prize. If not down Ginger, you should
hire an actual ginger person to play the game. Matt Brown,
he's not playing at the moment. Knocked down Ginger off, Steve,
great story, Thank you very much. Let's go to Liz.
Good morning, Liz, oh good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Yes. When we were younger, my girlfriend and I, when
we're teenagers, we used to tell our mom and dads
that we would go to Saint Louisa's listen for ballroom
dancing classes and are quite excited about that because we
were learning the fox chart and all the old stuff.
But we'd give us money, but we wouldn't really go.
We would go into our boyfriend's houses and get up
(10:31):
to mischief and then M'm back to Saint Teresa's and
we make up all this rubbish about what kind of
ballroom dances that we used to do an a nearly
a year.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, show us the tango, even going for two years.
Learner our kids.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
We want nothing, but not at Saint ESA's.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Lizzie, great story. Thank you very much for calling him mate.
You're welcome, David, Welcome to the show. What don't mom
and dad still know.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
To this day they have no idea? We were going
away on a family holiday. I was about eighteen, just
got my license and I said, I'm going out with
some Mason nightclub and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
We had really strict parents. We had to be home
by sort of midnight back then. And I said, no, no,
I won't be that late, won't be that lame. We
have this thing where the front light was left on
so Dad would wake up and he saw the light on.
You know, you're still a god.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We had that, Yes, the front light being left.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
On, so I had to lay down the groundwork with
my sister to set her alarm for midnight or one
am or whatever it was, to wake up, turn off
the light. And then I had then set up. It's
like a cross between Mission Impossible and Ferris Bill's Day Off.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, it's very elaborate.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Stingness is oh to get in the back door at
the unlatch it believe. I'm not going to tell you
how I broke into the house, but anyway, but came
home literally is like quarter to seven in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And then that's that's a good night out. That's a
solid all night.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And then so basically managed to break into the hair,
into the door, get him, lock.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It up, go to my room.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Just as I'm going in my room, I get hear
my dad getting up. I'll kick it off the shoes
and I'm jumping in the bed and go.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And then he just he walks in the door.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Literally seconds after pulling the dinner up, knocked and goes,
come on, Dave, time to get up.

Well, my story is I'm in the sixties, so in
my teenage years, my sister and I brought home his
special herd plant and gave it to my father. It's
a bit of a green sum and he said, you
need to put in the garage, look after it, make
sure you can look after it. Throw it. You always
gott to look after it. Anyway, it starts to gross

what lyrics are. It was one thing to get yelled at,
but the dreaded phrase we know your parents are? Do
you know what?
Speaker 8 (09:22):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean? We get back? Why don't we go and
play with listeners not doing ginger? Why why say goodbye
to all that fun? I actually think I would. I
would love to go and just knock on a strange
door in the suburb I don't live in. Is it
bloody Amazon drivers? Yeah right, if you if you find me,
(09:49):
you win a prize. If not down Ginger, you should
hire an actual ginger person to play the game. Matt Brown,
he's not playing at the moment. Knocked down Ginger off, Steve,
great story, Thank you very much. Let's go to Liz.
Good morning, Liz, oh good morning.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
Yes. When we were younger, my girlfriend and I, when
we're teenagers, we used to tell our mom and dads
that we would go to Saint Louisa's listen for ballroom
dancing classes and are quite excited about that because we
were learning the fox chart and all the old stuff.
But we'd give us money, but we wouldn't really go.
We would go into our boyfriend's houses and get up
(10:31):
to mischief and then M'm back to Saint Teresa's and
we make up all this rubbish about what kind of
ballroom dances that we used to do an a nearly
a year.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, show us the tango, even going for two years.
Learner our kids.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
We want nothing, but not at Saint ESA's.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Lizzie, great story. Thank you very much for calling him mate.
You're welcome, David, Welcome to the show. What don't mom
and dad still know.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
To this day they have no idea? We were going
away on a family holiday. I was about eighteen, just
got my license and I said, I'm going out with
some Mason nightclub and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
We had really strict parents. We had to be home
by sort of midnight back then. And I said, no, no,
I won't be that late, won't be that lame. We
have this thing where the front light was left on
so Dad would wake up and he saw the light on.
You know, you're still a god.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We had that, Yes, the front light being left.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
On, so I had to lay down the groundwork with
my sister to set her alarm for midnight or one
am or whatever it was, to wake up, turn off
the light. And then I had then set up. It's
like a cross between Mission Impossible and Ferris Bill's Day Off.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, it's very elaborate.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Stingness is oh to get in the back door at
the unlatch it believe. I'm not going to tell you
how I broke into the house, but anyway, but came
home literally is like quarter to seven in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And then that's that's a good night out. That's a
solid all night.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And then so basically managed to break into the hair,
into the door, get him, lock.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It up, go to my room.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Just as I'm going in my room, I get hear
my dad getting up. I'll kick it off the shoes
and I'm jumping in the bed and go.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And then he just he walks in the door.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Literally seconds after pulling the dinner up, knocked and goes,
come on, Dave, time to get up.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
We got a longer it is.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
It's the fairest it's the fairest moment. Well really and timing, David,
great story, very well told. Thank you, very much you.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, my story is I'm in the sixties, so in
my teenage years, my sister and I brought home his
special herd plant and gave it to my father. It's
a bit of a green sum and he said, you
need to put in the garage, look after it, make
sure you can look after it. Throw it. You always
gott to look after it. Anyway, it starts to gross
and keep coming out to us and.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
