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

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

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Come on and Jackie Boy, come on and Patsy, Patsy,
what happened yesterday your Monday win or lose it? What's
going on?

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Well, my husband is in sales and he got sucked
into the biggest sales con yesterday. Chris is one of
those if you know, if you're on holidays, for example,
and you're just like going through the street, through the
strip and there might be someone selling time share or
something like that, Chris will be like a moth to
a flat.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
He knows all the tools are hacks and the techniques,
is shy and gamekeeper.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
That mainly still trying to sell timeshares. Everybody.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I thought, we're all we've seen all the documentaries about
the pyramid schemes.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
No, he's shocking. He just gets sucked in so easily.
And then this happened yesterday. So he's in the market
for a new phone cover for his phone.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I mean the market. I mean it's not like you
could compare them, compare the phone cover, you know, a phone.
I could understand who's doing the best deals they went,
But the phone cover's most basic benefits.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Take it for a test drive, bring it back, and it's.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Going to street markets touching their wares. It's a bit
like what the best price this? We amre just wondering
at moment, gathering in town.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
So he hit one of those you know, the kaosks
in the middle of the shopping centers.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
They always wonder they're mainly surely for very old people,
I always think.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Anyway, So my grandson told me to come here and
you could jew Jim and jail breaking a phone used
to be a thing as well.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Phone's jail broken. That was their big thing, wasn't it anyway?

Speaker 4 (01:39):
So he came home quite proudly. This was on Sunday
with the first cover that he had. Only they obviously
sold him, like sucked him in. They sold him, by.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
The way, what kind of covered as they your husband?

Speaker 6 (01:50):
The worthy enough flip?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I was about to say, flip flip. The only person
I've seen under nine hundred one of those is Soue Carter,
our boss. She has boss the game plays, you know,
like Bill Belichick. He's probably got a fit in all
the plays. You know, Phil Jackson, He's got the future.
She's got the future.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Gold ideas you open it it's got all the slots
you know for his.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Card Blockbuster card down loyalty.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Cards anyway, So he brought it home and it obviously
isn't for his Samsung model because.

Speaker 7 (02:21):
It was covered.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
It covered up like the back of it where the
torch was, so he couldn't use the torch. So he said,
I'm gonna have to take it back and I said, oh,
they've obviously just accidentally given you the wrong one. So
he went back again yesterday and he's come home only
this one.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Fate well crocodile cover, leopard skin print.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
This one has covered up the power buttons and the
volume buttons, so virtually he can't use.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
The phone when he goes there, has his Samson phone
and can I just try it on?

Speaker 7 (02:51):
Well, you would think so, would you get them?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Finished in the market.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
And completely sucked in by all the sales height they've
given him and why they've sold him the most expensive
flipcap it must be.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
High five And as he walks away to do him
once to land a great white like that amazing second
time round, let's shut up for the rest of this week.
So what is he going to go back for a
third time? Guys? For me twice.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
I said, I will take it back, give me the receipt.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I my wife would do. And there's a party that
hates that. But then there's another part of me goes, okay,
you go and speak some big boys there for me.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Let us know were your Monday winner or losey yesterday?
Text us for seven five three one O four three.
I'm looking at a very interesting looking party invite that
you've obviously designed Jack for your son's fourthcoming three year
old birthday party. I was always led to believe that
he was called Gordy and not garriddy. What's happening here?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I'm a Monday Luther because I tried to use
chat GPT to make my son's birthday invite. Yank is
organizing the whole party show this idea that he will
have a karaoke birthday party?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Is it three year old screaming into a microphone?

Speaker 5 (04:11):
What's cooled about that?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Because I just like hearing their voice screaming with a
little bit of reverb on it. You know.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh, I'm the one in charge on the day of
setting up amplifier and the microphone, and.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I wouldn't get an amplifier for them. If anything, can
you have a de amplifier.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
But the invite was my job this week. And at
first glance, it actually looks great.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
It looks great, can see shiny, colorful, looks pro level,
It looks.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I said, it's karaoke theme, so it's got lights, it's
got musical notes, it has have bottles of champagne popping.
And I did tell it was he was three years old.
But it looked really schmick until you start reading the
actual text on the invite.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
And again that's the key bit on an invite, is
the text when where those kind of key details.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Garritty is not Gordy Gritty's karaoke part. And then when
you get to the details, so you're looking for what
day and time to conry.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's easy. I just had to South Korea and it's
on the thirty eighth of whatever whatever a new month
you created.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's on the thirty eighth hour of third day.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
So your should I alien sci fi language, isn't it?
So tell me this then, right? Because you designed stuff? Right?
Why did you ask? And how did you ask? Ch
chat GPT? So I am familiar now with saying hey,
chat GPT find out x y Z. How do you
got to do that same thing? You go?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I just I want to make it. I want to
make an invite for a three year old's birthday. It's
karaoke themed.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can you screw it up?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Here are my event details. I gave it all the
proper details. I said, it's Monday, March ten, nine am.
Can you put it all in there? And that's the
only part that it got wrong, because it made it
very nice.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Literally all the details that you ended in by hand
that you couldn't put into hand into a document anyway,
and made it yourself for the same amount of time.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I was trying to take your shortcut, but this boom back.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Can you edit this now? No?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I kept asking, can you make it much? I kept
asking chat gpt, can you make me a version of
this where I can put in the I've.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Taken the bat and ball home, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
And then it gave me one version where it just
put a black square over the text, which was really ugly.
Then it made me another thing where it said I'm
going to give you a Photoshop document that you can
go in and adjust the line.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
No, nego get the Adobe pro level or whatever it
was to sort if you tried, ever trying to amend
a PDF document that's on said you hate the person
that sends you. Can you just send me a screenshot?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's horrendous going into a photoshop far Oh god, forget it.
That's a whole afternoon.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, it's like a whole diven country in language. You
don't have textas And are you a Monday winner or loser?
What happened to you yesterday? Were you a winner or loser?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Text me The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Christian, I'm a Monday loser. I hit my waterline in
my front yard last sight. Oh my god, the valve
on the water to meter wouldn't turn off. How to
fix it? With the water turned on? How the hell
with that gushing? Are you doing that? Because there's so
much volume of water coming out? I can't imagine that?
Is that an act? Christian? Has all happened at quarter
to eight yester evening? Your poor guy? That sounds an

(07:12):
absolute nightmare. I always whenever you're sort of doing anything
out in the garden and an end zone, rummaging around
or digging, I'm always terrified of hitting one of those
did you have this when you were doing your renner
where you hit any kind of main pipes or anything.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Storm water, which isn't as bad. It just means that
when it rains, it leaked out onto the yard.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh god, Patsy, do you remember in the early days
of the show when Jack was doing that the world's
longest went out? He would have thought he was rebuilding
what was the place in Paris a Notre Dame cathedral,
even thought he was working on that.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
You didn't finish it all in the end, didn't you?
Four years old?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, I numb at one point because every Monday Wed go, Hey,
what do you get up to the weekend? Jack? This
is the early days the show, right, we're trying to
build it all, and he was like the renow again.
It was just that was shutdown any conversation. I remember
after like three months of every Mondays, then there ran
at taking thing long. I went to see the bossle went,
can we get some money to pay It'd be worth it, right,

(08:08):
take money from the marketing the show to actually pay
for professionals to speed up, just so we can get
our boy to have some weekend co content on a Monday.
And she was prepared to actually put money to pros
to come and finishing it off.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
How long did I never got that trick? It took
three years, three weeks. We did. Like, if we ever
did it again, we wouldn't do it that way. We
would hire professional people.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
It actually wouldn't be your choice. One day you being
one of the meeting rooms here and there'd be an intervention.
You've be in a center chair and they'd be trades
around you with me and Sup the boss put down
the weapons and the tools. Jack.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
But I learned so many new skills, so many it's such.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
A brave thing to take on.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Seriously, there's a fine line between courage and stupid team
in Hubris.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
And also when you say you learned the new skills,
let's just go back only about two or three months
of the show when you were going to go to
Rio's bachelor pad in Richmond here and it took three
mondays to cut two sections of wood. You couldn't get
the emergency catch off the band saw or the jigsaw.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Is it was a cheap saw.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Every day you'll just google so much random stuff. You'd
be chatting to somebody and you just go, hang on,
let's have a quick look right now. And it's not
until late on the day when you see how many
open tabs. I was telling Jack earlier, I have five
hundred chilling open tabs on my phone. It's over eighty
seven on my laptop. And whenever I have to reboot,

(09:35):
they go reopen all the last windows and I go
every single goddamn tab I need back on there. I'm
working across a lot of fronts right now, a lot,
a lot of different territories.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
You like my wife, she swears at all those open tabs,
which are so small that you can't even read what's
on any individual Wane. These are all things I either
want to read. Yeah, I have to give back.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
I'm amusing them.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yes, I'm using them.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
YouTube videos that I've got a nine different play for
different videos that go into stuff. So anyway, just a
snapshot of what I googled yes day on my phone.
Probably about most of these are to do with episode
one of White Lotus Season three was started last night,
and it was brilliant. None of these to do with
spoiler alerts, by the way, it was just the first episode,
and they're drip dripping it, which I'm really glad about.

(10:17):
It's only one a week. First one was Arnold's Schwarzneger Kids,
right because in the only in credits it said Patrick
Swartzingiger and said, my wife said, that is a very
unusual surname. Oh maybe it's one of his kids, isn't it.
And then midway through there's someone who has an unbelievable
physical and a swagger, and I reckon that is Arnie's.

(10:41):
That is one hundred percent Arnie's kid. And then I
googled Arnold Schwarzenegger kids, and then you'll go down a
lot of wormholes because there was that nanny he had.
He just came home one day and didn't fancy having
sex with his actual wife, Maria shrive It, just had
sex with an nanny and they had a kid. So
he's had quite a few kids. But Patrick is in
white lotus.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Is he the nannies child or is he not sure?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Because we were watching the show, we already had an
argument about what we thought whose body was that floating
and we were trying to freeze the frame to work
out who the face down body was. You can't work
out wholes. Then the next thing I was made to
Google was White Lotus three, not even season three. You
don't even put in four words to Google? Do you go?
You're smart? You can fill in the games. I went
White Lotus three where I come yelling at a pa.

(11:25):
White Loads three where get on in Wiggins, And then
the other one was because we got to know where
it is Thailand Kosamui four seasons, and I'm guessing that
the rates say last year to stay there are now
probably eighty percent of I remember when we went to Sorrento,
tears Ago where season two was filmed, and I tried

(11:46):
to go and book it just to have ank a
drink with my family, and it was five hundred dollars
just for the table for a drink. Oh that's insane,
And they were like, normally we don't charge, and the
person went to go. But because this TV show went yeah, no,
White Lotus, why wouldn't you five hundred dollars just for
the table? Because it's sounds so much a round of
light drinks would being there? What theo could affords? Maybe
the table just tapwater, please just stay there for a

(12:10):
couple of hours reading my book?

Speaker 1 (12:11):
But how well does it work? Watching season three last night.
You're like, well, you got to go to that's it
choice place looks amazing.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Place with the monkeys there and poisonous fruit hanging from
the tree. And then I was trying to work out
what sign failed episode? This is how random it is, right,
what sign failed episode? Does George say the sea was
angry that day? My friend?

Speaker 8 (12:30):
It's the one where Kramer hits the balls into the
well where George starts dating this woman and Jerry has
told her that George is a marine biologist, which is
obviously not and he has to maintain this fake front.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
It's called the Marine Bolots if you want to know,
a season five, episode fourteen. So that's just the open
tabs that I haven't shut down because I'm like, I
need that information a later day, Jack, what have you
got open tabs for? What have you been googling?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
So I still haven't bought this yet, but trying to
get Gordy a new pair of shoes because it's we
were actually like squishing his foot into his Oh.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
My god, you're in a black and white movie. It's
a wonderful life. And my Ebony's adapt the thing that's
not crying son.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
They keeps stopping me. Then this is what I google.
What is a kid's UK size four point five in
US size? And is that the same as astral point five?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Is it five point five?

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Five four point five.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
We have universal shoe size, just the same shoe size globally.
Why have you got? You got America Australian which is
exactly the same as England, and then in the EU
have like forty forty three. You're like, what's the forty three?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
And because I'm trying to buy them online, I don't
want to buy the wrong side.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
Oh no, and their feet grow so fast?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Do you remember when when I was a kid, we
had to go to the local shoe store and they use.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
That metallic thing the middle that I actually get so
nervous when that came out. I was worried that we
like bank my fee. You know.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
The part I didn't like is when you had the
shoes on and they told you to go wore to
try them. I just felt so self contract.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
And also noticed that they go look in the mirror
and you're just looking up shoes. Shoes, I mean like shoes.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I guess the same thing when you did the water
around and like, how was it?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah? Born as school shoes. Oh these feel lit. These
are sick only the envy of the schoolyard.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
So I must present on that shopping.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Cart kids turned up to kinder with like bleeding feet
and stuff like that, which my dad hasn't worked out
what shoe sizes are yet, too busy using jack GBT
not to maybe get wigging on with the shoe side,
but design the flipping party. Invite Ria. What have you
been googling?

Speaker 9 (14:44):
I've got Mela F seventy eight dishwasher era because I
keep for about a week, we keep having the dishwasher
break every sort of two or three cycles. I think
I'm getting close and close.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
You cleared out that, you know that monkey grill which
like the propeller, you gotta join see clockways take it out.
It's always pasted on a p in there.

Speaker 9 (15:02):
Yes, no, I I've watched so many YouTube videos. I've
cleared the grate, I've cleared the impeller. I've done everything.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
But oh you've done that.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Did you watch the video I watched where they got
you to get a fork and bend down. Yes, has
four prongs. You bend the two down, so it's like
the the last from metallica, and then you use that
to get anything that's out of that impeller thing. What's
an imp a little bull.

Speaker 9 (15:29):
Bearing, there's there's an impeller.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
I don't know which part it's.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
You love saying the word impeller. I don't know what
it means. But in these videos they kept talking about
the impeder. I remember saying to my wife, I've almost
I'm at the impeller. Yes possible. Don't check me out
at them.

Speaker 9 (15:45):
Well about the thing I am. I've gone to the impeller.
I think I'm getting close and.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Close, so close right now to the mother load. You're
going to blow this thing back online, but.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
Will my partner has called a handyman just.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
As you all you better. You've got devil horns in
the impeller. So now I'm going home right now. Leave
the show, finish that important work you've been working on.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Right now Rio the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Christian O'Connell Show. Let me know what weird, unusual thing
or just random thing. If you've been googling recently open tabs,
you can text me oh four seventy five three one
oh four three. Thank you very much for the kind
people who are sending verious YouTube video links to me
to pass on to producer Rio. I don't think the
problem is he isn't aware of the Internet or YouTube.

(16:39):
I don't think it's a problem of application. I think
it's just expertise. He's dealing with here hot pants, who's
our audio producer on the show, because he actually does
wear denim hotpants a lot. What have you been googling?
Correct hem length for shorts at work? Is what I'd
like you. I'll send you a link. Actually, you're way off,
by the way, by about eight inches.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
No, I've been giggling best TV shows of all time?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Now? And how come were you looking for that? Are
you looking for a new show? You finished something?

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, just finished Gilmore Girls for the fifth time, Love Guilty?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Okay, And you're a fifty two year old woman going
through the change right now, you're having menopause.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
No, her partner's never said that. She's it's the first
time through.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
My wife and daughters love that show and they don't
want me around when they watch it. No, No, No,
it's it's deep. They talk about it a lot. It's
like the thing that knits them together. They love that show.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Still still outlining is for watchings of Gilmore Girls. If
you've said your partner's only new to it, that's the
fifth time you've watched it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, it's a habit. It becomes as a habit. Now
you're addicted.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I've got a sister, I've got a mom. Come on,
it's just.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Be honest. There's no point trying to deny it. We're
not judging you for watching it. It's the fact that
you're coy that you love Gilmore Girls. You want to
be one of the Gilmore Girls. And that's why your
your short length it is reflecting you're trying to basically
be It's become like a little kind of a skirt
thing there for you.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Next up is Deadwood.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh wow, so many listen's got swearing and drinking bourbing in.
I'm going the other way. It's a front, it's a beard.
You're a Gilmore girl. You always would accept it.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes and the show. I was talking about my eighteen
year old daughter, our youngest daughter. We're moving around this weekend,
big moment for my family, and on Sunday it seemed
particularly a bittersweet because it wasn't like that the suitcase
was packed of all the clothes. And that was the
fact that all the posters from her bedroom wall were gone.
This was like she's now left the room and she's

(18:40):
got taken them with her to her new room at
college on Sunday. And so I was thinking about those
teenage posters that we all had and they let your
mum and dad and the world know who you are
right now, what's going on inside of you? And the
team we were just talking about what the teenage posters
are were on our wall and lo and Beholder. I
had no idea that producer Rio when Jack both had

(19:02):
you know, before I said it, I'm not judging until
but I had flags, Flags of the world, lovely flags
of the world and perhapsy do you have anything like
that in the.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Water rock bands and Neighbors Scott and Charline But no,
not flags.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Well charline up on your wall absolutely wedding.

Speaker 7 (19:22):
Day, No, no, just you know dating.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
The classic one with the the one where they are
in the overalls and the garage with a bit of grease.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
She only had like one strap over his shoulder, Peak
Neighbors period.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Can I say, yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
One strap was it? That was Peak for you. Enough talking,
Let's get down to flagging and nerding. Okay, So I
have ten flags here and they are in progression. They're
going to get harder. Guys, I'm not going to lie
to you. We're going to get in deep flag waters
this morning. I'm going to describe the flag gripping radio

(19:59):
or hear you shay, I'm a tape under this. I'll
get the speech ready. I'll see you suckers at the acres.
When I received my award, flags described on the radio.
It's theater of the mind. Is flags of the mind.
Listeners you play along as well. You can shout out
if you recognize the country as I describe triangles and
squares and border colors on the wireless.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Now should we yell out our names as buzzers or
should we just say the answer? So France as quick
as we can. I think we should just say the answer.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Someone is swagging, now, be honest, Okay, I want to
I know, if you really want to win? Were you
swatting up yesterday?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
I promise I did no flag research yesterday, did you?
I was doing a little bit during.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
I was just rushing up to see and honestly, there
are so many flags.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
In the world, hundreds, and a lot of them overlap
because there's only a couple of obviously basic color options.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
Like I said, there's only one flag in the flag.

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

been a trick question.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Wow, wait, there are sore losers. Please, it's too easy,
so easy, you couldn't get it. Too easy, too easy.
Oh it feels good.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
You didn't get to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Well, she've gathered yourself from adrenalized heights of a live
radio flag quiz. The jack even checked his heart rate
as his Apple watch was warning you it appears you're
having a heart attack or fighting right now. Owner. No,
I'm live in the radio doing a flag choist a
sudden day ry.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
It just shows that care, all right.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
So last week on the show, we had an eye
witness account from a lady called Joy. Joy was one
the kid in nineteen sixty six in Oakley at the
Westall High School that saw the famous one of Australia's
most famous alien UFO encounters. And she was on the
radio and she said it happened and unfortunately, over the

(26:58):
years a lot of people disbelieve her account, and lots
of the other kids who say it definitely happened. Some
of you must have stories where you saw something incredible
or unbelievable. When you've shared over the years and no
one believes you today, we want to hear your It happened,
but no one believes you. What is your story like Joy?
I actually got an email from Joy yesterday saying that

(27:19):
as some of you reached out asking for more detail,
we had enough detail. Last week. We had a fifteen
minute chat. I don't think there's any and she actually
said to me as a ps many more things I
didn't tell you. It was that Joy in our fifteen
minute chat. I think we covered the mind talking voice,
but I still couldn't help myself when someone says that
they leadither, I went what else? Top three things? I

(27:41):
didn't ask you? What were they? Joy?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I need to know she wasted too much time then
on vivid descriptions of the school.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Always what about that long corridor with the glass wall
at the end of it. I know more about that
than the grays above her with the alien spacecraft. Anyway,
it happened, but no one believes you. Nine four one four,
one oh four three. Yesterday I was telling the team
that I've got they've got a problem with my eye.
I went to doctor yesterday. He's got no idea. Could
be something, could be nothing, Go and see an expert

(28:07):
in a week's time. Take these antibiotics. Take the scream.
Could be something could be nothing, Go and see an
expert in a week's time. So is that a week's time,
he goes, Yeah, normally something like that will clear up
in about three or four weeks. I went, I can't
live like real three or four weeks sunny. Science and
medicine can do something. Now. Yesterday, you know what you know?
The iron? You know the big iron. You have a home, right,

(28:29):
they said, you know experiment between cold and hot presses.
I didn't turn the iron on, but I used the
coldness of an iron to press it against my eye
to try.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
And flat an ice pack.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, because it's cold, and I thought that flat edge
of it waited right, could try and smooth it out.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
It looks worse.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
That actually looks worse, and I think it's worth At
no point did that doctor actually say, go get an
unplugged iron and try and flatten out with an iron.
But I've seen you have seen boxing, they have a
smaller iron. The cornermen do sometime try and flatten down
when they have a black eye. Anyway, why am I
telling you this yesterday? Just to save innocent bystanders have
been shocked with how I look At the moment, I

(29:09):
was wearing sunglasses and I was at the train station
at Flinders and there's no reason to be wearing sunglasses.
I was chating to my wife on the phone, telling
how to gone on the doctors. And then after the
phone call, a lady sidles up to me right and goes,
I recognize your voice. I don't want to cause a
fuss here right now. She said, obviously you're wearing sunglasses.

(29:30):
Are you wearing a disguise so that people don't recognize you?
And I, I am who think I am? I am
wearing a disguise. And I went for these and then
I show him. She went, oh my god. She was Oh.
I was going to ask for a selfie. Maybe not
now she didn't want a selfie.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Christian o connall Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Christian O'Connell's show, Two Ways to Join the So this morning,

It happened, but no one believes you. Your incredible stories
whenever you share them, No one believe issue on nine
four one four one four three. And in real life,
has anyone ever worn the disguise Ali did?

Speaker 11 (30:06):
When Taco Bell first came to Melbourne. My partner and
I was so excited that we drove for two hours
to go, and while we were there, we thought, well,
we can't just go once, so we went during times,
but we were too embarrassed to go in and be recognized,
so we wore wigs and new jackets and we sut glasses.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
That an amazing story. I love that from Alie Carey.
Good morning, Kerry.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
Hi, how are you?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
I'm good, Welcome to show, Kerry. And okay, so you've
worn a disguise in real life?

Speaker 10 (30:38):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (30:39):
So I'm a teacher. Group of us as teachers, we
taked hour he nines into the city for a city
program and we dress up and make them try to
find us. So I've done like the school student and
office worker. But other people have done road work.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Is this a wait for the teachers to get some
peace and quiet?

Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Go and have a coffee. I get it in a
glass of wine. No no, no, no, it's a game.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
You can find me in the cinemas.

Speaker 12 (31:04):
No, no, no, we make it. So one of the
guys he dressed up as William Wallace and was hanging
out at Hardware Lane. So blue paints there, kilt all
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Wow, in the middle of the city. There's a lot
going on.

Speaker 12 (31:15):
Yeah, it was so kids had to try and find us.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
I bet they loved that, didn't they.

Speaker 13 (31:20):
Oh they did.

Speaker 12 (31:20):
They had a ball, So.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
It kind of kid. I was in year nine. I
would have not made any effort and just wandered off
somewhere in my waist.

Speaker 12 (31:26):
They have to find us. If they don't, they get
in heaps of trouble.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Oh wow, a game, otherwise get thrown out the school. Yes,
I survivor. It's very extreme game. Kerrie, great story, thanks
to going to mate. Have a good day. Thanks bye, Belinda,
good morning. It happened, but no one believes you. What's
your story, Belinda?

Speaker 2 (31:46):
True?

Speaker 14 (31:46):
Don't believe me, and you really need to believe because
it's so true. I live up in the Journey Long Rangers,
and when I was ten, I saw a black panther
in the backyard daring straight at me.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Now, there are a lot of these always about big cats,
aren't there?

Speaker 14 (32:02):
There is, And there's been hundreds of signings, and every
time I say I saw one, it was huge. It
was in the backyard. It was about seven thirty in
the morning, and everyone's like, no way, Well, the.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Fact that you get it's an early writer or you know,
if it was midday, maybe, but they don't get up early.

Speaker 13 (32:22):
Maybe that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So what was it doing just prowling around?

Speaker 14 (32:26):
No, it was it was just staring at something. And
then as soon as I looked at it. I was
looking at it for probably a good minute or so,
and as soon as it saw me, it took.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Off right regular cat.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
No, you don't mistake a pantra. So it would have
been like the size of what you've been to. Was
you saying signs of a puma or a tiger or
a lion?

Speaker 14 (32:50):
No more humor?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah, go figure.

Speaker 14 (32:55):
Yeah, it was huge, and I just think there's no
way it was anything. But and I remember it like
it was yesterday, and.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
But I saw it. It's a shame, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
You know?

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Because I can see Jack he's zoned out because he
doesn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I believe the Facebook page.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Come on, shut it down, Facebook page. And we know
that's where the truth lives and grows.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Fa do hear about in that area? There must be something.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
Else theras everywhere.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, that's right, but it wouldn't be a cat.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
A cat.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
A cat is a small thing. You know, the size
of a cat.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
They're all roughly all cats can get big.

Speaker 15 (33:39):
Done, you say, four or five foot in length, three
foot high easily, probably muscular flanks.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah, Christian, I am right now. I'm painting. It's a
beautiful looking fumor. Actually, thank you. I'm a believer. Okay,
I'm a believer when it comes to puma sucking. So
I'm getting on that face page right now. All. I'm
actually going to labor you up on our phone system
as Belinda the pumouth truss. Okay, Belinda, thank you very

(34:09):
much for calling. We believe you. I believe you.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
An hour ago this area and I were talking about
how we tried to take matters into our own hand
and mend our meal of dishwashers when they flashed up
these various f error codes and bazarrely, we both try
to mend something called the impeller. It's like a little
kind of propeller thing in the belly of the beast
of the dishwasher when you clear out the grill. Someone's

(34:36):
emailed me works in the industry, Christian lovely to hear
you and Rio talking about the impeller today on the show.
I never thought i'd hear him. Just a bit of insight.
And impeller is a driven rota used to increase the
pressure and flow of a fluid. Is the opposite of
a turbine, which extracts energy from and reduces the pressure

(34:57):
of a flowing fluid. I hope this sounds a it
really helps. Thank you. We can slam with course this morning,
Ago and christ when you're going to return to what
is an impeller?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So what makes gives the squirt its power inside the dishwasher?

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah? I don't ever phrase it like that on a
family based show. Again, my god, that kind of phrasing
stays in your mind. On Horribly, weren't there mother squirk
to go further? All right, it happened, but no one
believes you. And have you ever worn a disguise? Four
one four three, simone, good morning?

Speaker 6 (35:31):
Good morning.

Speaker 12 (35:32):
How are you now?

Speaker 3 (35:33):
We're good now, Simoni. I understand you have a story.
It happened, but people don't believe you. I just want
to say that already, I don't even know what the
story is. I believe you well.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
I back up the last panther story. We were down
at Wilson's prom camping and I've gone out the back
of my chentch at night, and I know you're laughing already.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
No, no, no, I'm just actually adding production. I'm guessing
there's a panther or puma coming.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Yeah, in front of me, and it was bloody standing
in front of me, green eyes and this big, bloody panther.

Speaker 13 (36:14):
It was huge.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Probably got mikey card or something. Always been hitchhiking. Who says, no,
it's a bloody, great, green eyed panther. Get in mat
wherever you go and I'll take you there.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
And I got my husband out and he even saw it,
and anyway, ended up founding off. The next morning. Everyone
got there and said, your two body drunk?

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Had you been drinking?

Speaker 10 (36:47):
Drinking?

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Drinking doesn't mean humors and panthers, if anything, Who would
I like to prey on drunks? Sell a reaction time.
No one believes them as well. They're mucking with the
drugs drunken campers and Wilson prom the well known easy
prey for big wildcats. I believe you, Pats, are you believer?

Speaker 7 (37:13):
Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (37:15):
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 13 (37:16):
I was absolutely stunning.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker 13 (37:21):
Were absolutely beautiful and it was pure black.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Shiny coat too. Yep, yeah, yeah, I've seen one of
the zoo, very very shiny cold. Not to know what
these were. Conditional kind of hair product you put on
that like a shiny coat yourself, like that by the
shampoo these days that promise you a shiny luxuries locks.
I just want whatever Puma has. I want that on
top of my head. All right, well listen, simone, I

(37:47):
believe you. Okay, it happened.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
It was back in the last week. There was an
amazing story of video really that went viral. The poor
little Chilai man, this mind his own business, out and
his kayak doing some fishing, and lo and behold, a
great big forty ton humpback well swallows him into its
mouth for a couple of seconds and then spits him

(38:14):
back out. Like a little cork popping back up.

Speaker 10 (38:16):
There's nothing I can do if I am inside the
mouth of a giant fish.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And kids, if you're listen to this right now, if
you ever find that yourself in that situation, there's actually
nothing you can do. Render just wait. They don't like
the taste of humans. Shot and Wail.

Speaker 10 (38:39):
I was in Fiji doing a bull shark dive and
the guy next to me got slapped in.

Speaker 12 (38:44):
The face by a bull shark.

Speaker 10 (38:45):
A big tuna head fell down, and this shark came
up grabbed it, and then it turns around and it
was moving.

Speaker 13 (38:51):
Fairly fast, so it just slaps the guy next to me.

Speaker 12 (38:54):
His head goes back, eyebrows go up.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
This guy's petrified.

Speaker 13 (38:58):
Sharks swim off.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
You're watching.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
So I was doing a bit of body surfing and
dived under a wave and thought I hit a rock.
Suddenly the tail sort of swished mates it. Get out.

Speaker 13 (39:08):
You got to get out, get out of the water.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
You just hit a shark. That was it. I went
headfirst into a shark.

Speaker 13 (39:14):
I had to go to the chiropractor the next day
because couldn't move my necks.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
See that that yours movie? Did you have some chiro
action getting a joint put back into a lineman on
that boat. All right, welcome to Shark and Well Week.
My wife he goes diving. I'm a lot more brave
than her of a snorkler. Up top is where you
really are more dangerous. Up there. It's cowardly to be
hiding down the bottom of the seabed from the sharks.

(39:38):
I'm up there, that's where they feed. And then there
they're up top, down below, cowardly hiding and on.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
The surface, across birds and eagles.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Cast from a barber seagull pecking at you or something.
I haven't goney chips, danger from everywhere when you're snow clean,
tough guys, real man, let me do it. She said
to me. You won't get any shark or well story. Sorry,
it's very hard. People don't have these first hand accounts. Well, yesterday,
on day one of Shark and Well Week, we had
three shark stories. Nothing yet from Wells. But we're only

(40:08):
into day two. Another shark story here. Christian, myself and
a couple of mates often dive along the southern Queensland coast.
One of my mates, Greg is about six oot four,
big dude with a thin three milimeter wet suit on.
He looks even bigger, probably out the size of one
of those panthers and pumers that we've got.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
A lot of tuscular flanks.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Youve got it, my friend, Yes, that's Greg. I was
up at about ten meters with Greg below me, swimming
around a bombing. That's a coral Bomby, doesn't how patare
I don't know what a coral bobby is. You don't
see them when I'm up top. Do my surface side snorkeling?
But anyway, I take your word for it to Bomby.

(40:49):
From where I was, I could look down, I could
see my friend Greg on one side of the bomby
and then suddenly a two meter shark on the other side.
I couldn't alert Greg to the I'm presuming this is
a typo here, but you've put shot and this you had,
and understandably I'm not judging sharted, but I said, I

(41:10):
could not let alert Greg to the shart. Greg, two
things alert you of a shark and a short coming.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Your way shark, and I have not taken it well.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Question. All I could do was watch with a little
more than concern as the two big beasts converged. There
was a few seconds where they came face to face,
paralyzed in shock and fear, Greg or the Bomby or
the Bomby and Greg and the shark. After a couple
of seconds, they both the shark and my friend Greg
in sync, turned tail and fled.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Stale mate, Hawie.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
What happened to that shark though? Is it still out
there bobbing around on the South Queensland coast. I'm pretty
sure that Greg sucked his tank dry from that surprising encounter.
I'm with you there, Mark, Thank you very much. The
story all right nine four one four one oh four three.
It is Shark and Well week. Thank you very much
for all the emails as well. Christian at Christian O'Connell

(42:04):

Speaker 2 (42:12):

It's an open imitation for any stories. So there was
sharks or wells. Four shark stories so far on day two.
Nothing for welles. It's hard. I mean, you can't shake
that tin too much, can you. It's not like people

(42:34):

it now that time I was swallowed, oh by shark
in a well.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
They've got three whale stories like which is the best one?
Don't to put the wrong foot forward?

Speaker 3 (42:47):
All right, that's good to George here. Good morning, George.

Speaker 10 (42:51):
Good morning guys. How are you all?

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Now? We're good. We're excited to get your story. So George,
off you go.

Speaker 10 (42:56):
I'll give you the story. In two thousand and nine,
I had a bit of a problem. We've had a
lost the son from suicide. So I've gone up to
my daughters to live for a little while on the
on the Gold Coast. So we had a little one
of those little pump up inflatable boats about eight foot long.
So we're gone up the Kuma River fishing, which runs

(43:16):
into the sea. So we're up there fishing and the
daughter hasn't caught a fish for a long time, so
she's caught this fish. And as she's trying to wind
this fish, something has grabbed a fish, something really big,
and then it's wrapped around our anchor rope at the
front of the boat. And at the same time we've
only got a little plastic oars now these big paddles

(43:37):
or anything. So we've looked over the edge and there's
this massive bullshark is dragging us up the river for
about twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
It's nowing you.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
Yeah, it was dragging our little plastic boat with us
through you sitting in it, and there's people on the
bank just laughing and yelling.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
We're I came out in the middle of the ocean.

Speaker 10 (43:55):
Yeah, not in the ocean where the river comes out
to the ocean.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
You told you earlier river connect and that the sharks
reversed it.

Speaker 10 (44:05):
What happened? That the bull sharks go up there to
mate and the end of the friend of the fresh
water in on the Kuma River up there in.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Queensland, that's their love spot.

Speaker 10 (44:15):
Yeah whatever. And at the end of at the end
of this river there's a big lagoon where all the
houses and that I order new estates that don't building
where the live. Yeah, they go up there and this
shark is towering us around in there, and we couldn't
do nothing, even with our paddles, even trying to run.
So my daughter's over the front of the little boat
smacking this thing on the head, What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (44:40):
George? Got your feet up and joined the taxi ride.

Speaker 10 (44:44):
Because it's such a little boat, she would have tipped over.
You know, it was only a small one, those pump
up bunge and a little plate there, and so she's
at the front, bang and away trying to get a thing.
After about twenty minutes at eventually, but it was a big,
big fish. She was bigger than our.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
So what happened to mention? The shot got bored.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Or no, I reckon.

Speaker 10 (45:05):
I just wrapped the actually swim around it with the
fish and wrapped around their anchor.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Right.

Speaker 10 (45:09):
The ankle was only small, very small and probably bet
a poynd or something and a kilo. But as it
was dragged and we couldn't do nothing, we couldn't do
And I'm just sat there and just got tired along
until we let go.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
It's incredible story.

Speaker 10 (45:24):
She doesn't go fishing anymore. She was petrified it was
a fish. Yeah, so I'm actually fishing there in Saint
Heleands and Geelong. So I'm fishing now live right now, Yeah,
I'm fishing on now, I'm fishing at.

Speaker 12 (45:41):
The and hell.

how's my vote? That was a really funny story. That
is a great idea. Well, I mean we were going
to do that anyway, but you've just spread up. They
sped up the meeting. I was going to have for
the team at nine to announce that. But Team one

Yeah, I'll come back to tomorrow and make it my
look on an ad lib there's nothing worse on as
we're out with friends and you do a funny joke
on ad lib and they go sorry, what was that?
And you go down, don't worry about it? Or the
worst one when they go no, no, go on, it
sounded funny and you say it and it just dies.
It's like a universal law. It's lost. You can never
recreate it. All right, we have one more one to

(47:29):
go for this morning on day twill Shark and well
week Sebastian, Good morning, Good morning Christian.

Speaker 13 (47:35):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (47:36):
I'm good now. We're very excited. I know we've been
trying to get you on for almost the last forty
five minutes, so thank you for bearing with us. But
I also want to stand that right now, Bazari, you're
at work on the set of Home and Away.

Speaker 13 (47:48):
That is true, that is true.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
And what do you do on the show?

Speaker 13 (47:51):
So on the grip there, so we set up all
the camera movement, so the tracks, the dollies, cranes, help
with the drone. Yeah, just all the nice movements you
see on TV.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
How after you're using the drone at home.

Speaker 13 (48:04):
And away quite often pretty much daily.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
There is put you in your place, didn't it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I guess I haven't watched for a while.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Yeah, wadful wall to wall drone shots now above the
sets and stuff like the homes there, and so that's
an important job on there. You were a key grip,
Yeah I am. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (48:20):
So I've been working with the show for almost twenty
five years and I'm thirty five. And when I was
a baby, my sister was an act on the show.
So I've been part of this place my whole life.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
You started at fifteen.

Speaker 13 (48:36):
I was an act on the show when I was
ten to about fourteen.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Who reply, I want I want to see if I
remember you.

Speaker 13 (48:42):
My name was Matt Sutherland the Little Little Panny Ass
Films and that's.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Where they went, Hey, how about you go behind the
camera a little whipper snapper? All right? Then, So Sebastian,
this is great, lovely to chat to. She lovely to
meet you. What's your shark story for us?

Speaker 13 (49:01):
I've been in a shark's mouth, not once, not twice,
but a few times. It all happened when I was
in Borneo. I was traveling on the East coast, and
I will say the sharks are the biggest sharks, but
they're probably also the most docile. It was a whale shark,
but I found out that the fishermen there they feed
them off their boats on one side to keep them

(49:22):
away from the nets. So like up super early, me
and my wife went out looking and we went from
boat to boat trying to find some sharks. Eventually found
a vessel that had two massive, full grown whale sharks
cruising around very excitedly. Without even thinking, I just jumped in,
so did my wife, and which immediately I love wildlife totography.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
I've seen wildline photography. You're getting it, but you don't
go in anywhere near sharks don't sun or not, what
if they've had a bad night's sleep.

Speaker 13 (49:54):
Not only that, but water was extremely deep, extremely murky,
your friend, that day, fishermen are frying fish cuts over
one side. So I probably wasn't the smartest thing, you
know when you think about it. But yeah, so anyway,
we immediately got carried away in the rear. I recued
my wife, got her back to the little boat.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
We were doing unlucky, well done.

Speaker 13 (50:15):
And because I wanted to stay in there and try
to stay in a spot where i'd get some nice photos,
I found that there was a bit of rope and
a bucket, so I kind of tied myself onto that
and I got some amazing photos. It was awesome. Anyway,
the fishermen thought it to be probably you know, they
were trying to help me, but also having a bit
of a laugh. They decided to throw the fish guts
on top of me. And what happened is yeah, so,

(50:37):
which was nice and nice and stinky. But what happened
was the sharks then came to me and mouths open,
probably a meter and a half wide, and you know
a meter you know, the high would come mouths open,
come straight at me. I would go set me in
their mouths, kind of pull myself out and then trumble

(50:58):
down their backs. And as I said, it didn't happen once,
it happened about four times in ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Oh my God, this is unbelievable.

Speaker 13 (51:06):
I do have to stress, you know, when it comes
to wildlife people, you don't want to disturb the animals.
You don't want to get too close to them. Sure,
but I kind of really didn't have much of a choice.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Inside is very close to them.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Couldn't get any closer to anybody.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Really, I'm having to look at them now. They're amazing creatures.
So they don't have any teeth. Is that why you're
slide in?

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (51:26):
So they're filter feeder. They usually feed on small fish
and krill, so they swim around the humans.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Who've tied themselves to the side of a boat, smeat
and fish heads.

Speaker 13 (51:35):
And guns exactly exactly. But yeah, it was an incredible experience,
one that I'll never forget.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
What's it like going inside the shark's mouth?

Speaker 13 (51:44):
Good question, Look, the very powerful creatures. So you know,
I was It wasn't like the whale girl who all
happened in a flash to me, It all happened in
very slow mode. And yeah, I was able to kind
of you know, pull one nee out up, all the
other knee out, and then as I said, just kind
of fell down the back.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
So something almost kind of like wrestling with it as well.

Speaker 13 (52:08):
Yeah it was, there was, and yeah, what made it
even was I would get out of one's mouth, down
the tail, get whipped by the tail, and then two
seconds Lado the other one would come in.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
So they were playing with you or anything.

Speaker 13 (52:24):
I think they were just trying to get the food
and they didn't really care about me.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
So they like sucking you like a popsicle and trying
to get the fish east the side.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Study not really interested in that.

Speaker 13 (52:34):
You know, pretty much it was like getting sucked down
a toilet drain.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
And tell me, can we see your photos that you got?
You must have got some incredible word photos.

Speaker 13 (52:42):

before we go there today this morning on day two,
so I know rom sounding back Day two shark and
well watch extraordinary scenes shot and wall we day.

Speaker 10 (58:19):
Two we had one of those little pump up inflatable boats.
So we're gone up the Kouma River fishing and my
daughter hasn't caught a fish for a long time, so
she's caught this fish. Something has grabbed a fish, and
then it's wrapped around our anchorage at the front of
the boat, and there's this massive bullshark is dragging us
up the river for about twenty minutes, up and back.

(58:41):
So my daughter's over the front of the little boat
smacking this thing on the head trying to get it
going to come off. At about twenty minutes and eventually
snapped off.

Speaker 13 (58:49):
I've been in a shark's mount not once, not twice,
but a few times. It was a well shark. When
I was in borneo a fishman there. They see them
off there boats on one side to keep them away
from the net. Very excitedly, without even thinking, I just
jumped in. The fishermen are frying fish cuts over one side,
so I probably wasn't the smartest thing, you know, when
you think about it, because I wanted to stay in
there and try to stay in the spot where I'll

(59:11):
get some nice photos. I found there was a bit
of ropes and a bucket, so I kind of tied
myself onto that. Anyway, the fisherman is having a bit
of a laugh. They decided to throw the fish guts
on top of me. The sharks then would come mouds
and come straight at me. I would go send me
in their mouths, kind of pull myself out and then
tumble down their backs. And as I said, it didn't
happen once, it happened about four times in ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
It's an incredible story. But the word tumbling to me
softens it of it. It's not a dramatic word, is it.
Oh guys, I've tumbled, But incredible stories there. That's a
bastion one who's been inside the shark's mouth several times.
Jack heard the story and then Jack goes, make sure
you send him a mug, a mug. I'd send him
more than a flip it mug. We send that out

(59:56):
to any elbowzo. He's been in a shark three times.
I've been humbling down their back. Get to man. All right,
