Hey?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yes, on today's show we will get into the story
about the man in Australia bitten twice, not once, but
twice by a shark and drives himself to hospital. We
did not see that in the Jaws movie because it
wasn't filmed here in Australia, where the people are built
differently than the rest of us, not from this crazy country.

(00:47):
Morning Patsy, Morning Morning, Alex, Morning, Morning, Rio morning, and
good on in too. Jazz has just said good morning
to us who's listening right now on the Gold Coast.
Thank you very much, and good morning Jazz.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Patsy. How was your day yesterday?

Speaker 5 (01:00):
So funny?

Speaker 6 (01:01):
I had to take our Marima dog Presley to the
bit yesterday for his yearly vaccinations and check up. You know,
they do the teeth and all the rest of It's
sort of like.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Scrub and brush for the teeth about dog.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
If you don't any dog breeds, think of a horse
about flamington.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
The shed of wings is Patsy's dog.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
He's a big boy. If you've seen the movie odd Ball,
he's that breed of dog. He's an Italian sheep dog.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think many of us have seen the movie odd Reference.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
It's a great Aussie movie.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Shane Jacobson.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yes, that's right, so we went to the veteran.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
I have not seen it. No, oh, it's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
It's about the penguins at Warnable and how.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh wow, what a great you've you've hoked me already.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
How the marinat around the penguins at Warnable.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
How the marimas save the penguin population.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's a true story, yes, yep. Oh now, well it's
Australian education. I will check that out.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
It's beautiful, it's beautiful.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
So this farmer donated one of the pups or two
pups I think, and they literally save the fairy ping
because the foxes. The marimas are like brilliant on farms
with chicks and stuff. They stop the foxes from.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh they're like centuries.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
They have certain dogs that guard our packers from foxes.
That's wrong, and they're called sentry dogs. I think they
actually do use marimbas.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're brilliant for that.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
Anyway, he had to go the yesterday, but getting him
in the car is no mean So.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
What you do because I used to have a shepherd dog,
so I had to get hurry, especially because they just
instinctively know.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
This is not walk. How they know They read our minds.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
They pick up on nerves and we're not like we're
going for there's there's anticipation nerves about this trip.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
O bloody, not the vet.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
Not this again.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, and so it used to be like snacks and
bribes basically. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Well normally Chris is home, So normally he goes in
the back of the suv and I'll pick up his
front legs and Chris all sort.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Of Chris.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Trailer for him.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Well, you know what we should have you know.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
When they've got a delivery of some fun pump up.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
We should have started him as a pup with a ramp,
is what we should have done, because we've tried him
with a ramp and he's too scared of it.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
So he's a massive dog.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
But he's the west Gate Bridge.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
So I didn't have Chris home, so I actually had
to that's a two person ages. So what I did
I had to put my car sort of back the
car into the gutter where our driveway is, so it
was lower, if that makes sense, So it was easier
for him to get in the back.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
He's not arthritic or anything.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yet, but it damages that back legs, doesn't it jump.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Jars joints anyway?

Speaker 6 (03:46):
So I got him there, and then when you go
in the front, you know, I took him for a
walk around the grass to area. There's lovely parkland around
our vett, hoping he'd do his business.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
But no, not all.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Over a concrete or something.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
He does it up right up against the front door.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Discuss pus a dog outside that's like eight p embarrassed.
Our customers are coming in and out through.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's just a few more droplets to the girls, more
marrible smeaty camprassu.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And don pe.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
He's done it again. And they're like, Oh, don't worry,
it happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It doesn't.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I bet it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Bloody old Newman's are coming in too.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I remember a couple of weeks to take today off
outside the front again.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Oh it's shocking.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
And then you have to put them on this on
the scale, don't you You know, the big scale to
weigh them before the.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Seats we want to used for sea Life center or something.
Trust on the highway, Yeah, no coach parties. But when
your dog gets on.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
It's impossible.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
So he'll put like his front paws and then his
bottom will be on the floor, not actually on this
on the way on the scale. So then why do
they need to weigh them well to know if they
need andy botics or whatever. They need their body weight
to know how much to give them. I see yes, yeah,
you know, like when we have anna before we.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Have oh yeah, they wait you to know muchtff. You
need to pump you full of yes.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
And so then you have to you can't just kind
of reposition him.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
You have to.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
It's like a horse lining a horse up to go
into and they're getting nervous as well. Yes, and so
you have to kind of do like a circle around
reception and then kind of showing yes, reposition him. Anyway,
we got we got on there and he's lost a
couple of kilos, which is good because he was getting
a bit you know, to me.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
He's probably dropped off a couple of just did liquid that.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
But it's so funny when he has to have his
needle for the immunization. She could like, he's got so
much fur, and Doctor Mattie said, I don't know where
he's a jousting stick.

Speaker 8 (05:50):
It's like so much.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's yeah, almost easy blow dark.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
But he was so brave.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
So every time he goes to the vet, he goes through,
we go through Maca's drive through and he gets a
soft serve.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Oh god, that is the best image in my mind.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
He's got his head out the rear passenger window, pulling
it straight into his mouth.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
What's his favorite flavor?

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, no, he just has like vanilla basic.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
Yah.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
But his head is out the window and you should
see the looks of the staff. They're like, oh, I
can see these star and he knows it's coming. He knows.
He gets his traight every time. He's a brave boy.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Do you want to talking about moving and transporting animals?
And then my brother law Luca is a farmer, right,
and we were staying down with my sister and him
for a week once and he went, oh, I need
some out going to pick up some pigs, and so
we just got in his car and I just thought, oh, right, Okay,
We'll then go to some sort of truck to get
the pigs into this hatchback car. No, because it's a farmer.

(06:46):
They don't care about stuff like that. In the state
of the car. Oh my god. We then had to
put the seats back. I don't know if you've ever
tried to pick up a pig, take it off.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
On a bucket list. They are so big and heavy.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
We had to pick up three of these pigs, put
them in the back of the car, slam the bootshirt,
and then they're like their heads were like, there's a
snout on my shoulder. In his rearview mirror, there's this
three pig heads all staring at us. Right then we
hit traffic. Well, it takes like an hour to get
back to his farm. These animals are poopink ones and
twos in the I had to wipe the window down

(07:26):
the city slicker dry heat. These animals are just defecating
with worse trip of my life.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
The Christian O'Connell show.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Podcast yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of interviewing the
writer and director Scott Cooper of this big new Springsteen movie,
Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
He was in Madrid.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I was in this tiny little studio like a cupboard
at Disney HQ. Yeah yeah, Cramorn and I saw the
movie last week and I've had to sign something. I'm
not supposed to talk about it for another week, but
it's it's an amazing movie. And they said listen. As
Australia's biggest Springsteen fan, do you want to interview your director?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Was like, hell are you?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
And I really love the movie to my eighteen year
old daughter who wants to be a singer as well.
It's an incredible movie. They've really done the Boss justice.
And he's been offered so many takes and so many
movie offers in his life Springsteen has you know, it's
it's born in the USA, it's America. You can see
the movie, can't you make in millions? And he said

(08:28):
no to all of them. They've bored him until this
one idea came through that really spoke to him. And
it's this director's movie who Scott Cooper did. If you
ever seen the Jeff Bridges movie that won a couple
of Oscar's Crazy Heart came about fifteen years ago about
country and western sceing.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's a big movie. It was brilliant. He's done a
couple of other movies as well.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Anyway, he had a really original idea based on a
book actually that I was plugging two years ago when
it came out on Double Thumbs Up about the making
of this album in nineteen eighty two, that Springsteen went
through a really tough time and this album is called
Nebraska Springsteen's most introspective album, and he was wrestling with
what was about to happen. He knew he was in
a cusp of stardom, but also deeply troubled by his

(09:07):
upbringing and it was a relationship with his dad. So
it's a quite introspective book. But anyway, Scott, this is
what we should make this two year period in this
guy trying to find his voice and find healing as well,
and so that's what the movie is about.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
So anyway, I said to Scott Cooper, how does it work?
Because he's the boss, he must be across every bit
of his business.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
He goes.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I got a phone call from him and I've seen
his script come around my house.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I said, what's that? Light goes.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's really intimidating because he's he is like a mythic character.
We call him the Boss, and you're in his home
and I said, what was that? Actually, it goes, he's
really nerve racking, and he goes. But when he welcomed
us in, he made steak sandwiches for us. Oh that
you are the boss of the kitchen? That is that
is boss hosting heavy meal for heavy it's a test.

(09:54):
And also I said, tell me about the bread. It's
not cheap ass white bread, is it. He goes, No,
it was very It was artisanal bread with a very
sharp cheddar on top. So they would have been what
do they call the anks called them cheese steaks.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Ah, yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
There shouldn't be like a Springsteen deli.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
They should sell these Springsteen steak sandwiches at his shows.
Who knew that the Boss made un told great music
a mean steaks idea? And then I go, so what
happens during the meeting? He goes, Well, Springsteen and his
long term minuner, John Landau, were both Then they said,
we really like this.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Could you read a read through for us? And I
said does that often? Happily goes no. I said, so
you had to read what and do an impression of
what the boss. The boss goes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
It goes on for about two hours, and at the
end of it he said, the boss has said stand up.
He thought it was going to say to me, get out.
He goes, gimme hargin. He goes, just make the movie.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is oh wow wow.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
It comes down too. Each time you will love it.
I can't recommend it enough. It is a great movie.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
We love getting your emails. We call it late La Party.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
You can email me about anything you've heard us chuntering
on about in the background Christian and Christian O'Connell's dot au.
Let's have a look at some of your emails late.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
A few weeks back on the show, we did op
Shops Scavenger humt. We gained three listeners fifty bucks each.
They went off to their local op shops. Whoever could
come in with the best stuff won a prize. I
said to Rio, why don't you take some petty cash
go and find a star prize the most expensive thing
you can find in an op shop. You found a
knackerd carriage flop. I found a beautiful looking one goals.

Speaker 9 (11:41):
One hundred and eighty dollars, so we had to go
beyond sort of the one hundred dollars petty cash limits.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
But yes, it was broken in sense, and you still.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Think that was a good exchange of money.

Speaker 7 (11:51):
The most expensive thing at the this.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Round station at the moment has a broken front door
that's gaffer taped open. Anyone else feeling a bit vulnerable
at the moment, it's not the drawbridges down. The crazies
could take over the asylum.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Laurence one and one the clock, yes, and he's taken
it to get repaired. What radio show are we where
you win a star prize and you're out of pocket
and you've got to make effort. Imagine we gave away
a car and the guy when it's broken, Well, you've got.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
To sort that out yourself, sir, that's on you.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I mean, we didn't say it was working, and we
just said you can have a car. Lawrence is giving
an update about the cost of repairing the winner's clock. Okay, Christian,
I heard back from Roger. That's the watchmaker. The clock
has signs of being dropped. It's got a few bent gears, saying,
but he's confident he can fix it by flattening them out.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's going to take six weeks, four hundred dollars. No,
several watches.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
I would spin that.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
I reckon that's worth it. It's an antique.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
We gave it him.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
We have to cover that.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
We do.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's a lot we have. We're kind of afford to
work in the door most he think we were the
least popular show in station. We're number one station, number
one show. The front door is gaffer tape to open.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
That's coming out of your pay.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You might have to No, this next line, I don't
even know who to read it out. This is what
we have to pay for this. We are paying for it.
I'm doing some overtime at the Melbourne Mouth and this Sunday.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
To cover it.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, stop it.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
This is just too sad. No, I'm paying for it.
We are paying for this.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Sorry, Lauren, No, you can't be doing that. He's already
doing it.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I don't know he could ear an extra money at
the Melbourne Mouth.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
The reno that we're doing at the moment for this
place we bought is every day there's some problem there uncovering.
It's too hot in certain places that were like banging
holes in the ceiling yesterday to their air and oh
good god, Laurence, I'm there with you, buddy. What are
we doing?

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Is it cash in hand? I don't really need the moments, Christian.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
I bumped into Rio outside the studio when I was
dropping off the our packer money box A Patsy.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Oh yes, he's here in my studio, Lauren.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
It was one of the things he picked up for
many fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
And so perhats you made him come back in with it.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is not a good look for a little bit
of side action with Lawrence.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
No side action going on anyway, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
This code our packer money box A patsy? Is that
what he calls us?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
It was a timed multiple choice quiz Wow Revolutionary Radio.
I got pid to go last as one of the
five contestants. Whilst each person was on stage answering, the
others waited backstage with headphones on blasting loud music so
you couldn't hear what's going on. The headsets had a
volume control. It sounds like it producers you had on

(17:14):
that show. That so one's not got I pretended to
scratch my head when you work on the show when
we were doing a quiz, actually a tone quiz what
color is Shrek?

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Though on the show for this week's lost in Translation,
we picked big movies and as they're exported around the world,
obviously they're translated the movie titles into various foreign markets.
Sometimes some of the nuance is lost in the translation.
It's the case we're not mucking around here.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
So examples from previously two weeks ago when we played it,

Speaker 2 (23:17):
All right.

Speaker 9 (23:18):
Yeah, it's stunning, so nice. I finished my session going
to the locker.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right by the way.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
My wife went once with her right, so it's a
beautifully designed place, really nice. But then I thought that
someone there, because there's a lot of younger guys that
go there, someone had stolen her underwear, oh dear, and
actually went to my words, some filthy one of these
young pervots a stolen my underwear. And you imagine me
and there with your mom.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
You're like, don't make it weird. They happened. Why would
that be funny?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Old ladies, you know, And so my wife went to
complain and obviously they were like, oh my god, what
oh this is really sorry about this.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
And then my wife just found them.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
To go back out and Sayer actually hasn't stolen.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't think they were like red alert. Oh god. Anyway,
there's been another thing speaking.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
I'm in the locker room.

Speaker 9 (24:10):
I've stripped down, and I go to grab my towel
and like, oh my towels rumming around towels not there.
Look to my left, there's this board guy tewing himself
off with my beautiful Sheridan Hotel tower.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
He's obviously fancy raid on his whole of those tribes.
Beach towels have been washed too many times.

Speaker 9 (24:27):
And it's a very sort of vulnerable, humbling position to
be on your soggy naked naked nudeude. I am nude, yes,
because you know, get into your undies and blah, blah blah.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
I have to kind of like tap it on the
shoulder and we're like, no, kind of accused this guy
of using my towels. Hey, sorry, I think is that?
I think you might be using my towel. And by
this point he's been going at it, you know, for
some time.

Speaker 9 (24:51):
Oh look, oh sorry mate, yeah it is and hands
it this wet used towel back.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
What do you have to do use it?

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Well, I was expecting him to maybe say, hey, I
used your towel.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
You know. No, that's strange what you did, like a
towel swap and then wash each other's towels.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yes, exactly that.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
Well, now I've got to use this.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Wet you're rubbing your junk on his chunk. Oh my god,
young rubbish.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I've never heard of such a story. I'd rather walk
home wet. I would have watched well to put my
clothes on.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
You come from a cold plunge. It's cold, you're dripping. Yes,
you can't. I can't be leaving like in that state.

Speaker 2 (25:30):

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Christian Connal Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
All right, So every Wednesday, middle of the week, we'd
like to check in with how your week is going
so far.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
We call it six Word Week.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
And the way this works is, don't just spew out
six random words, okay, craft a little, short, short, short,
six word story. This is an idea I've borrowed off
Ernest Hemingway, who believed that you could tell a story
in just six words. And that's probably the only reference
you're going to get on radio this morning in Australia

(26:38):
to Ernie Hemingway.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
This seat, Wendy's done it perfectly.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
One more sleep, Barley Tomorrow of Troy and Leopold's got
this one.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
This is more cryptic. Shipwrecked Coast is a Victorian gem.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Oh, maybe he's there at the moment on the shipwreck
coast lots down along Warna, Ball and Portland, all along
there great ocean roads.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
And that is a Victorian gem.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And then there's another one here brook ex husband, pain
in my butt. Understand what's going on there in that headlining?
Just those beautiful six words. We get it, Patsy, how's
your week going so far? What's it for you? In
six words?

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Chris broke fourth chair and counting, So the where would
be love?

Speaker 9 (27:21):
God?

Speaker 6 (27:21):
My husband has this awful habit of busting cheers essentially.

Speaker 7 (27:26):
Did bad habit smoking.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Though, to be fair, he has got a very powerful booty,
doesn't it. He's got a hell of a backside from her.
Those are gluts of a god you could fire again.
In ancient times he'd be worshiped, you know what, like
Zeus and stuff like that. There'd be a Greek marble statue.
There should be in fed square of Chris's glutes. The
god a powerful, beautiful backside. This is a thing really

(27:50):
where the chairs aren't decent enough for that great.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Man's as you need a marble.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Shame on Australian chair makers for making weak ass chairs.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
So the fourth.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
Scout was claimed when we flew to Sydney recently, when
we got on.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
The flight destroyed.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
They have to be, they're in the air.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
He went to lift up the arm wrest and you know,
you know the hassle we had on getting to the plane.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Yes, like it was just ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
And so I just pretended not to hear the enormous
crack that the arm rest made.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
And I did he sit on the arm He went to.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Just lift it up, and he's got such brute strength
that he just like pulled it off.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
To Rock Johnson, you married.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
And I just I pretended not to. I said, the
incredible Chris, please don't tell me you just He says, oh,
that's another chair. I said, I can't handle. I can't
deal with.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
What about the one at Lapols Shatter?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I can never hear enough about that restaurant we've gone out.
It's the accent that perhaps he does it too as well.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
So we'd gone out for dinner with friends. We were
sitting there and Chris, they had these wooden chairs. I
swear to god, this was like it was on a
ricochet PASTA. Don't know how how he did it, but
he pulled the chair out and went to sit down
and it just spun on its side, like it just
came out. No, and just like a projectile. I'm not

(29:20):
kidding you went all along the floor.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
And sas to comedy collapses, it went just goes to spin.
Is this a scene from a Sandman movie?

Speaker 6 (29:27):
It was ridiculous, spun into the kitchen and yeah, one
of the chefs came out with this like bewildered look
on his face, like how did a chair end up?

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Did someone throw this in here?

Speaker 7 (29:46):
That's good luck in Italian.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Festival.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Then there was Joseph's restaurant at where it be mansioned
we that's.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Like real fine dining, very nice chair.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
The Fourteenth's rain An anniversary dinner, I think it was. Anyway,
he had put his arms out straight on the table
just to sort of stretch his back out and the.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Arms stretches everything to do where you find dining and Joseph.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
This is some stretching right now. Ammys are so tight.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
Here crack of the wood and the armorss just fell
off the back of the chair and landed on the face.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
GI me pictures like behind restaurants and cafe Chris Chris's backside,
not his face do not make him stand get a
bean back.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Queen's Cliff. We went to Queenscliff one easter.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Where hasn't it destroyed?

Speaker 5 (30:40):
It's ridiculous. And they had these plastic chairs by the pools.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Are there no match? He's destroying, He's destroying word plastic.
Those ones.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Sort of slid to the waist company.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
When we peer into the locker rooms at the MCG
during games at halftime, there are those.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Cheap plastic chairs. You can't get any better chairs.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
You watch E p L the Super Bowl, they're in
those really expensive lazy boy.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Recliners, aren't they you?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
And then we've got those cheap plastic chairs outdoor setting.

Speaker 7 (31:12):
It's the most awkward thing.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
We had actually a dinner guest break one of our
chairs at the apartment recently and you have to do.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
All this fas how embarrassing for the person.

Speaker 9 (31:20):
I know when you're trying to limit their embarrassment by blaming
the chairs in like, oh these.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Chairs, you must have got the won key one us
everyone knows. All right, So six Words Week so Far.

Speaker 4 (31:35):

Yeah, aay the week boss on the tools and are
all big around the office, and then they disappear the
second half of the week when they're working file home,
and there are other people that work really smart and
hard from home. Some companies now are going, we don't
care if you'd like to be happy at home.

to work from home. If you're doing your job well
and you're performing your duties and all your KPIs and
metrics are measured, what is it bother? This office now
is never busy five days a week anymore.

my week just booked a Mediterranean.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Cruise in the week.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
My dad just got back last weekend from his first
ever Mediterranean crew. So he's been saving and putting away
for this. Remember that there's a certain generation I put
money aside for.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
He's been saving for two years.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Him and his partner had gone his cruise, and I
gave him some money because his favorite movie is Casablanca,
and he booked this cruise because they were going to
dock in Casablanca in Morocco and he was going to
go to the iconic Sam spar Right. My dad called
me Sunday, I went, how was the cruise? Of the
cruise was great? I said, how was Sam's barbers Casablancas.
You're not going to believe this two years, two years

(33:35):
he's been staying on this. They get to the port
of Casablanca and then there's a tannoy over the cruise,
A go really, Sawy, the King of Morocco is in
Casablanca and has closed the entire city.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
We now just have to sit here for two days.

Oh no, I hope he gets to go back.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I've got a snail sort of some sort of makeover
trip from to Sam's Bar.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Christian O'Connell shown podcast.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
This headline says it all there to be going around
the world. Man bitten twice by shark drives himself to
the hospital with serious leg injury. Only in Australia, you
people are built differently. There's no way in England that's something. Well,
not too many sharks around them as well. The water's
too cold, but that is you know. We used to

(34:52):
do a feature we do an occasional feature I love
called Country Tough. One of the things I've learned here
is there's the city people and then there's the folk
that live out an hour or two. You only got
to go an hour outside of any of the cities
in Australia and country people are built differently.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
They're just tougher.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
We've had stories before of people driving themselves to hospital.
David told us about his old man, my.

Speaker 10 (35:18):
Mother's uncle, Tom was picking a post hole with his
tractor and he slipped in in the cuddy's leg off
and drove his tractor back home, got in the car
and drove himself hospital.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Now he may have exaggerate a bit about cutting his
leg off, because obviously femeral archeries bleedouts of that, but
still a leg has been severed, and you know driving
is a two legged sports. So this guy has been
bitten by a shark twice drives himself to hospital. It's
an incredible story. Man in his fifties bitten twice on

(35:48):
the lay By Show whilst surfing at d Estre's Bay,
Kangaroo Island, in the area known locally as.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
The Sewer Place. That's the place to go, isn't he
get in there?

Speaker 9 (36:00):
This happened around lunchtime need Dstre's Bay, at a popular
surf spot known as the Sewer on Kangaroo Island.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
The reason why I drew himself. So the hospital is
is sixty k away, what's a long? Actually he needs
to get himself there. He's had surgery and it's non
live threat, so he's okay. But I guess he just
had to choice whether if you've got to wait there anyway. Yes, yeah,
you might as well.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Now Rio, you've got some detail about what actually happened.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
Incredible.

Speaker 9 (36:31):
So a bronze whaler was actually chasing a seal around
the bay and then the seal, very sneaky seal used
the surfer as a decoy. So he saw the surfer
and went, it looks a bit like me, sort of
ducks behind him, and then the sharks started chomping at
the guard.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
I was just googling when Rion told me this.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
During that time, I just googled, start to type out
seal facts and the one comes down auto complete. I
got as far as seals and it went have complicated
love LIFs.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
Oh, messy drama.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yes, the man has multiple partners.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Whim on to land and lie there with that sort
of beautiful sort of physique that the male seal has,
you know, and wait for the ladies to arrive.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Then he can have he doesn't even eat.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
I think he's got a lot of sort of food
in him, right, Barry White, aren't they you know?

Speaker 1 (37:27):
He just sort of they mate.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I remember this from a David aptinbro David Aptmberbrokra, and
it was just like he all.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
I remember David Aptra saying as well.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
As seals have complicated love lives with multiple partners. Whenever
you used to watch that, you mum and dad always
look at each other as now all right. So I
wonder if there are other people listen to this who
have stories. It might be you, It might be mum
or dad, or a crazy auntie or uncle of someone
driving themselves to hospital.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
We are all here today for those stories of people. Australians.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
When I say people, let me be crystal clear here
Australians only people in the world that would do this
because you build differently driving yourself to hospital.

Speaker 4 (38:09):

fifteen twenty minute drive and he reckons that he did
in about ten and you can actually.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Take his foot off the accelerator. He lost feeling and

He's just incredible. He's so brave and yeah, it was.
He just dragged himself to the door of the hospital,
which they he knocked on the door and they asked
him if if he was bleeding.

Speaker 7 (39:39):
That was bleeding a minute.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Also in this country, you have to knock on the
hospital door.

Speaker 12 (39:45):
What do you Yeah, country country doors, the country hospital
doors are often locked. And yeah, that's what they asked
him if he was bleeding. Yes, just a little, just
a little, I think, he said.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
I guessing that if it's a no, they don't bother
to let you in. Now it's it's so, it's bleeders
only overnight. Go and die on the on the front porch.
Come back when you're bleeding.

it is.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
And then he drive from where he lives. He is
out in the middle of the some farm and will
open it up just.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Just depending on I guess you have to. Yeah, it's
not a twenty four to seven situation. Yeah, Alex, you
must have a story about someone in the family doing
someone else.

Speaker 13 (41:08):
I've got countless stories, and this one involves my uncle,
uncle Brian.

The front of his he's junk basically on the front
of the saddle. On his way down, shouts his pelvis.
He's pelvis was in pieces, and he has dragged himself
to his truck like a kilometer away. He's I think,
he said, he tied like a jump around himself to
try and keep it all together, as in the pelvis,

(41:45):
not the junk, but driving himself to hospital.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
And like it was awful, It was so so bad.
I didn't pass out from the pain. I know, someone
shouts at the helvis pelvis and passed out from the painsized, agonizing.

Speaker 13 (41:57):
Yeah, anyway, he went to hospital, and like I went
and saw him about a week or two later, and
he thought it would be a good idea to show
me down there. So he just takes his sheep. You're
not going to believe it. You're not going to believe it,
and like it was like the most black.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Very much for calling the show. MJ. What's your story
for us?

Speaker 10 (42:40):
Then, Well, I didn't actually drive myself to hospital. I
drove myself home. I was I was working on a
farm out in gifts Land and I was up on
the truck and I didn't realize that I backed into
the fence, the electric fence. Anyway, I brushed past the
stainless tank and it gave me a jolt, fell off
the truck and I ripped my ear off. Anyway, I was,

(43:04):
I was nearly wet. My ear was sue up up
on the truck. Grabbed my ear and and wrapped wrapped
a rag around my head and I'll go home. I've
just married a nurse. She'll patch me up.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
What are they anyway?

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Like like like.

Speaker 10 (43:25):
You know a bit. Two and a half hours later
I arrived home.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
And what do you mean to what happened in the
in the two and half hours? What were you doing?
I was driving a long year where's the year on
the passenger seat?

Speaker 2 (43:40):
No?

Speaker 10 (43:40):
No, I sort of put it round about in the
right spot and wrapped around my head. Oh anyway, so
I took one look at it and gave me a
good telling off.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
And the next thing isn't you're good here? Because this one,
this one's knackered. It's just a hole into my head.
So what happens? You go and have plastic surgery? My
to reattach it.

Speaker 10 (44:10):

level them up.

Speaker 8 (44:21):
He just go.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
After a line because your forehead this shonky surgeon.

Speaker 10 (44:30):
The other Now I go to the barber's and I've

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Oh my word, m J, what a story. Yeah, MJ,
thank you so much for sharing a story. Have a
good dame, and please keep these stories coming. They are insane,
absolutely insane. It's also joining on me that farming a

(45:08):
straight it's the most dangerous place to farm in the world.
How do you even get any insurance? And well it's
not in Australia, is it. We have a whole separate
tarists thinking of reattaching. My grandfather cut half his finger off.
This is back in the nineteen forties and he actually
taped it back together and sort of like it kind
of stayed there, but it was like all wonky like
just speaking of that guy reattaching his finger was such

(45:29):
a weird finger because he'd and then it's somehow sort
of attached and healed.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
But wonky. Yeah, it was. It's hard to describe.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Maybe tomorrow we do wonky body parts, Yes, wonky Thursday.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Have you got any more stories? I really can't.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
I can't get enough of them. They're incredible stories because
there's no mild story, nothing that involves driving your sound
to the hospital. There's no mid I stub my toe
and then drove myself to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
We're not going to hear that.

a severe heart attack.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
The doctors didn't believe him. He had to wait for hours.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
They didn't believe him, and then did an ACG rushed
him in from immediate triple bypass.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Otherwise he wasn't gonna make the night. What oh my, Christian.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
My main takeaway from today's show. I grabbed my ear
that was up on the truck.

Speaker 7 (46:28):
Meta grab.

Speaker 14 (46:52):
Believe it or not?

Speaker 9 (46:54):
What are the odds?

Speaker 7 (46:56):
You gotta behing me like we were you a Cheryl

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Who married a hu has Every Wednesday on the show,

I pick the Melbourne Cup winner out of four different
sweeps the same horse, and then they also paired a
dream three days prior that the source was going to win,
and got the same horse in every sweep.

Speaker 12 (47:27):
Many years ago, when I met my now husband who
started dating, I moved to a little place, got a
phone put on, gave him the phone number.

Speaker 10 (47:34):
He says, Oh, that looks familiar.

Speaker 12 (47:35):
I've kept getting these phone calls asking for his ex
wife's name, which was Laurena. Turns out Telstra had given
me his ex wife's phone number.

Speaker 10 (47:44):
I've won the grand jackpot at the Posties three times

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Tony Christiaan, my wife and I were recently traveling around
Italy and had what are the odds?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
European moments when we landed in Milan.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
We cueued for non Europeans and chatted briefly with an
Australian woman who's flowing in from Barley, the second home
for Australians, isn't it Parky, There's more Ozzies and Balinese people.
We went through customs. It's like a state of then state.
We went through customs and part of ways. Six days later,

(48:22):
we're in sinc Tear. We stopped for coffee.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Who should sit down next to us that same Ossie lady?
What are the odds?

Speaker 2 (48:30):
That evening in Lavanto we went out for pizza and
there she was again, sitting in the cafe next door.
At that point, we at that point, we're wired that
we've been stalked by and left quickly.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
What are the stalking odds?

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Now?

Speaker 1 (48:45):
It's with a heavy heart.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
I don't say this, La but sadly but you said
Katelin once more has put her hand up with her
what are the odds? The very worst moment in this
show's history was only one of the words, actually does
there's too many to chew?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Summary?

Speaker 15 (49:01):
Are you're wrong?

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Hashtag that dating thing that never made it to air?
But anyway, we save that we saved that for the
the book. Participating told us so horrific, and I don't
mean her if it like OT, that's a bit extreme.
I mean horrifically boring, as in seconds, precious seconds you
were never going to get back about something?

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (49:19):
The chewing gum under the table applesticker? Sounds boring? Just
and we're giving you the salacious headline. That's the best
bit rio Just stop.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Maybe we'll get a little repeat to sort of give
you an idea if you missed how bad it was.
But you can't even you can't even the software was like,
please don't put this into me.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Ah fool us on.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
All right, Participating, I hate I believe in you. Thank

Speaker 2 (50:16):
The pattern of poo has repeated itself? Oh no, please

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Radio machine, the radio machine we've fed into the radio machine.
He is when you do that radio machine, break it
with a hammer, please. But one in ten million isn't

Now.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
I did say we're moving on from your stories of
driving yourself to hospital. Okay, we'll do a part two
of this tomorrow because we just had so many amazing stories.
But I can't leave this until tomorrow again, Andrews just
texted in more than Christian. I couldn't even make it
to the hospital because I nailed my hand to the
fence with a nail gun. I couldn't reach to get

(53:25):
my nail pinchers to pull the nail back out, so
I had to wait for my wife to come out
from making lunch.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Brackets my favorite ham and cheese toasts.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
She had to knock the nail back through from the
other side of the fence so I could free myself.
I wrapped my hand up, sat down and enjoyed the sandwiches,
and then drove myself to hospital.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
You are hero of the show.

Speaker 7 (53:52):
Oh wow, I guess it's either that or the back
of the hammer.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Yes, I don't think you could reach through it. Okay,
Like I said, I just had to. I couldn't wait
till tomorrow for the wist too. Jesus Daniel, good morning,
Good morning, Christian Daniel.

Okay, what are the odds? What's your story for us? Mate?

Speaker 9 (54:14):
Right?

Speaker 15 (54:14):
I used to live in an apartment in Richmond with
my best friend, a crazy Welshman called Chris, and our
apartment was two or three and we'd stand on the
balcony sometimes drunk men two o three anyway, just good.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Lucky neighbors.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
The Welshman English would have been drinking again two no
other lyrics.

Speaker 15 (54:41):
So we were two three and we used to chant
two or three. The time came for us to no
longer live together, and I said two or three splitting up.
It feels like half of two or three is we
even Rish moved into his new apartment. What was the
apartment number?

Speaker 10 (54:56):
One oh one five.

Speaker 7 (55:00):

No, no, no, it's not incredible that that being banded
around to loosely today one one farther Nadia, Good morning Nadia, Hello.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Hi Christian. I just thought this was incredible. So many
years ago when I met my best friends, we I
was talking about my brother and mentioned that his name
was Joe, and she goes, oh, that's funny. My dad's
name is Joe. But the coincidence doesn't end there. We
continued on and she mentioned that she had a she

(55:45):
had her nephew named Toby, and I go, oh, my
sister's got a son named Toby as well. And then
her Toby's twin brother is Zach, and she goes, oh,
my nephew is also Zach. Then we were talking about
her other sister who also has a son named Lucas,
and my sister, my other sister has a son named Lucas,

(56:07):
and so we've got Zach, Toby, Lucas, Ethan are all
we've both got nephews named that. And then I also
have a niece named Jate and her first cousin is
named Jade as.

Speaker 13 (56:20):
Well, so.

the overhead locker, pulled the chips out, and our air
pressure whatever, the bag popped open and all those chicken
chips flew fell over this lady that was sitting next
to her. So of course we're all apologizing to this
lady about these chicken chip And then I said, oh,
