Speaker 2 (00:18):
Got anything good?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Good on and Rio, Good morning, coome on It, pats Morning,
Good morning Alex Patsy. Where do you get your weather from?

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Me?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
And the team which is talking before the show about
it's so confusing. Now you've got Apple will say one thing, yeah, right,
and then Google might say another thing, and then Bomb
that I always go to because I think that's where
you get young weather. I think is like the trusted voice.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Absolutely, it is the only place to.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
But surely they're all looking at the same sky and
the same weather pan.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Yeah, I don't know what there shouldn't be different weather.
Weather is weather, right, It's.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
All like even yesterday we were looking at the weather.
Google Maps said it's gonna be sunny or day. I said, oh,
it's gonna be sunny or day. It's gonna be sunny
your week, Tina, And she goes, no, it's going to
be ra She looks at an Apple weather it says
it's pouring all week. It doesn't didn't rain a single
drop yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
So how can there be such a discrepancy. I don't know,
because surely they are just they're not like Apple haven't
got their own satellites or have they exactly like that
sky up there above us must be packed. You know
it's not an oppon about eight am, which is satellites
for Bomb, Apple, Google, Android?

Speaker 6 (01:32):
Yes, exactly where is it?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Incorrect interpretation by some meteorologists like Bomb meteorologists would be like,
you know, the ducks of the class wouldn't then they
would only have the cream of the crop at the
Bomb office.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
But how do we know that? Is it like a
top gun academy. And if you don't make the say
that the ninety five percent, then I'm sorry, No, no, no,
don't say you're gonna have to go and work for Apple.
Oh my god, no no no, get out to California.
You go.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
But I haven't AXI grinde with Bomb if I may.
On Monday, I was looking at my Bomb app. It's
telling me there's zero chance of rain as I'm getting
rained on. I'm walking from the shops because I thought
it wasn't going to rain. There's rain on me as it's.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
That's your own fault. What's my fault? Use those bespectable eyes.
Just have a look around and you can tow. You
can toow. Nobody's staring at the phone, stare at the sky.
You know how local? Do you want your weather right here?
Right nowwise? I mean you go and what you can
say the suburb? You urine, can't you? So do you

(02:36):
have a couple of settings then depending where you're going
to be?

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Well, my yeah, mine is just ether very small. I
live in Richmond. I work in Richmond. So all I
need is just tell.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Me four strikes or variety of where you go. You
need ultralocal weather? Yes, so you need it by postcode?

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yes, I block or block whether on my block, weather
on Judd Sprey.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
So perhaps you get it from bomb, don't you?

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I do. Now why do we know that the best
is it? Because I got the word bureau?

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Well, well, there are government called.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Ourselves Bureau of Radio. Every morning w the ratings climb
in the city.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
They're a government bureau. They're the trusted source. They always
have been.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Government Government employees aren't always notoriously. They're not always the
top guns, are they? Some not all? What aren upset people?
Some government employees are pen pushers. They're not the change makers.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
Yes, yeah, I mean a lot of government workers doing great.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I would say ninety nine point nine percent, especially around
the Bayside City Council where I reside. Those ones are
the top gun ones, but the rest of ones around
it always spread out. You get some real pen pushes. Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
They get it wrong all the time that day, and
then they're still in the job. Yes, it's one of
those jobs. You can get it completely rang and they're
still there the next day.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Jobs for life, jobs for life. You don't get many
industries like that. They take one of them. Yeah, you
get a couple of bad strikes and you're out. And
by that I mean ratings, and you're done.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Exactly if they get it wrong the well, you know,
you actually complaint.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
We should be complaining about the weather.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Is there are weather onbuds?

Speaker 5 (04:08):
No, there's not.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You should be prepared for four seasons on today for
three minutes going to get my milk. My name is Rio.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Do you guys know how to use that rain radar thing,
because you know when you get I'm obsessed with that
on the.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Box website or is it a separate website.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
Anyway you can get them, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, you see that sort of the colors shifting like
an old school extra sketch. I've got no idea what
are we looking at it.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
I don't know which way it's going. I don't know
what's now, what's future.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
The only one I like to see is that one,
the circular one way thing. Cyclones coming. I'm looking at Florida,
and then it's purple.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
If it's purple, run for your life. Maybe that's just
a Sydney thing because they get old.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
You get purple weather.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
The storms, you know, shocking storms. Actually, you do get
storms here in Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Really do you turning in our stick around? My friend?
We get helstones here the size of gold. They are, well,
really well. I remember a couple of years ago. Do
you remember on your newspats this was like five or
six years ago where it was so bad cars had
to be repaired. Yes, it was. I think it was
like five or six years age it was. I remember

(05:22):
there were like dealerships that had like half a million
dollars worth of damage done to the cars or on
the front because they can't put them indoors. They really were.
It was like they've been they were been shot atles.
We were talking about this yesterday. Perhaps we're talking about
she does not know those fake bullet holes on cars,
and I said the team, maybe on today's show we

(05:42):
should say, if you see a car with those fake
bullet holes, let us know real you've written up there
where it's meant to say bullet holes spotting. It looks
like today at some point going buttholes spotty, which is
a very different feature. Keep that to your weekends, my friends.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Please Christian O'Connell show podcast here right mate.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
You I don't know you said you started raiding years ago,
but the red light is widely recognized as when you're
alive on air? Are you chatting to your mom back
on the farm in New South Wales? And don't you
put the sheep in Mum? I'll say hello with the
radio and again I'm working again.

Speaker 8 (06:24):

four point three, Good morning, seventeen minutes past six. You
never know you're gonna aware going to meet one of
our lovely listeners. Yesterday i'd got to have blood taken
and if you have gone to any of the Melbourne
pathology places, you're normally in tiny little rooms like a

(06:47):
sliding door. You know. They're sort of like a little warren,
aren't They go And the lady goes, what number of
you know, you're going to get your number on nurs

have some blood taken. And she goes, oh, listen the doors.
The door isn't even working. Was the door not working?
What happened in it? So I'll try and get out
or something? Did you break the slighting door in Melbourne?

(07:08):

but I'm going to make a mistake taking your blood.
And listen. She took her glasses. I went one, put

(07:30):
the bins back on. I said, this is probably the
most important blood drall you've ever done. I can't be
bleeding out on air tomorrow morning. If you say you
love the show like you do, please get this right.
Don't take a moment for both of us. What a
sad ironic state of affairs is the reason I met
my untiny Desiyes was a nervous fan taking blood from me.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
And they triple check your address and birthday about five times. Yes,
are you sure you live it this addresses? Yeah, I'm

Speaker 6 (08:07):
What was I for this?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
So? Yeah, anyway, I had this blood taken yesterday. And
she also goes, do you know what? We get quite
a few famous people come in here, and then I
goes such as, she goes, Shane Warn. I went not
Shane Warn. She goes, no, no, no, sorry he used
to Oh no no, because he's he's not. He didn't
take his blood. That's why he died, is it? She goes, no.

(08:31):
His dad comes in. I went, wow, I am I

then she goes, oh, and a well known football player.
I went, Oh who was that? She goes. I don't know,
but I think he still plays great. Wha you do that? Blood? Now? Now,

(08:54):
does anyone like me have very dull, mundane things You
just put in your calendar as a kind of reminder. Yeah,
and on on phones you got various apps to do this.
I've got that, and you have a reminder's list, But
I I never remind myself to go and look on
the reminders list. I don't know why. Yes, my brain
just won't do that. Ever.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
To do list you never get done. I never remember,
oh you got to do list?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, I didn't do anything for me to do I
have an app called to do list, but I pay
for every month that in five years, I've never looked
at an app that is my to do list. There's
stuff that's not been done five years ago. They're still
waiting to be ticked off. So let me just grab
my phone. So, just in the last twenty four hours,

(09:40):
really dull stuff that's in my Canada more as a reminder,
you know, and also just speaks to a very boring life. Yesterday,
the highlight of my day midday Pierre's bins. Now, Pierre
is a friend of mine, and he's gone back home
to Switzerland, and so he's away for six weeks, and
I said, as a good friend, I will take your

(10:02):
bins out bring them back in every week. Hey, that's nice.
I'll be really honest you any reason I'm doing this.
He has a ridiculous wine cellar, and I'm hoping at
the end of the six weeks for payment, I get
something from that there wine cell Pierre, to be true. Everywhere,
I kept singing him photos of what I've done as

(10:22):
a mind. No, no, no, no, just to reassure him.
I don't want you out there skiing in Switzerland or
whatever you do in Papa Pierre and worrying about your beings.
Like he said he'd take them out. Are they back
in the little bin area? Everyone has their been area.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
I just want to reassure you, Pierre, You're not supposed
to do pr for your own You are though, you.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Are though because it is a bit of a pain.
There's two card trips. Yesterday they go and take it
out today, I've got to go about this afternoon put
them back in. You have to drive, yes, no, no,
no no, it's a five minute drive. It is not home.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Why are you putting the bins out every single week.
He's not accumulating ruddish.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Surely yesterday was almost flew away. I made the quickest
progress yet the last three weeks. I said, you know
what I can start doing. I'm going to start. You know,
you always have extra rubbish. I can start cramming it.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Pier.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Does anyone got innocent guys? Bring in this week? If
you go on to get some rubbish, shout out to Pierre.
It's on Pierre. So today things are really hot up.
Bring Pierre's bins back in. That's really really good. What
have you got in your calendar as a reminder? I
have every day.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
I have a reminder at ten thirty a calendar invite
to drink water.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I just forget to drink water. No, come on, you
need to hydrate. I know. That's why I've got the calendar.
I mean these days. Perhaps you'll be the same with
your daughter saying, my kids they've got these two liters.
It's ridiculous, just like I said, like their oxygen change.
Do you know I remember I don't think I was.
I was. It wasn't until I was twenty seven I
had my first class of water. I got through the

(12:00):
ages and nineties with no water, and it was suddenly
only in the last like ten years, people going, hey,
you need to carry your water. You might not have
any water for an hour. It's so true.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
I feel like we've only realized we have to drink
water in the last three years or something.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Would have been one defended and the zero water. And
now it's that these frank green make a thing to
carry around all this water and then what hammers up.
My wife has got one of these frank green things
and I always going top it up in the afternoon.
She hasn't had any Oh no, now you need a reminder.

(12:38):
She's mind a drink water.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Yeah, that's my main one.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
So what happens? It will go off, and then what
would you do? Will you actually go and get a
glass of water.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
I'll go and fill up my oh oh my gosh,
time to get my water.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
I'm going fill up my water and then I'll then
I actually have another one to remind me of the
afternoon to drink my water.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
So I've got fill up my water.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
And then that's it. I need to calgarize that I'm outsourced.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
All thinking in my brain. Now to my my phone.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Do you still have one that says, taw, Patsies, do
the news.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
Five to six.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
That was it from mind pass.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
I haven't done that for a while, just to know
if we were early or late.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
But you're still doing the news at six. I think
so wonderful.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
How's it going, photos, Patsy? What's in your cannida? What
does reminders?

Speaker 5 (13:24):
If you were terrible with remembering to take tablets like
vitamins and stuff, and I do have to set a
reminder otherwise I just I'll skip it, so you know,
like my Barokka and also my vitamins all that and
my blood pressure tablet every day. Otherwise I'll just forget.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
And tell me this, have you got? My wife's got
one of these? You keep saying, Chris, get yourself organized.
It takes me about ten minutes the morning to take
on my vitamins because I go through each individual.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
How many different things have you got?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Probably take about nine or ten in my morning stack.
Then there's in my afternoon stack.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
I pilot up the night before. I put it in
a little shot glass next to the glass.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Of water, and I put it party animal, crush it up.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
I put it or I'd forget it, like I can't have.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Me get one of those. I imagine you have one
of those pil trays people yet special easy little rheumatoid hands.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I'm not going to that just yet.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
My wife's got one of those. Yeah, yeah, and that,
and now she started wearing glasses on a chain around
her neck. We need to keep the mystery in a relationship.
If I see this version of you and I think,
actually she's doing it on purpose, it's a designed passion killer.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do me a favor. I have a look at your
phone right now. Go to your calendar. What dull calendar
reminders do you have in there? So every Tuesday Wednesday,
take my bins out tape Pierre's bins out, Patsy, you
asked me a questions. I didn't even think about why
am I doing it every week? The guys, the guys
in Europe for six weeks.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
There's not in the house, no, but it gives the
impression that the house isn't empty as well.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
That's what.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
It's a security measure, you know.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Remind me of that as well. It's not just driving there,
it's actually I'm the head of security. It's and so
it's probably worth two bottles of wine from that great
white set of his. So share your dull calendar, reminders, appointments.
What have you got in there? Text me? Oh four
seventy five three one O four three the power of radio.

(15:24):
But if you're one of those nerds who sadly has
an Android.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Hey, hey know this.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I admire your ixpect you've but when I see that
weak ass phone, I judge you and I find you lacking.
It's a good no, no, and it's so sad. Don't
we all think this US iPhone is when you send,
oh dear, they've got an Android, and it has that
funny color. Even the iPhone gives you an agreeing of
vomit android. Oh, even the noise is irritated. That's a

(15:55):
nice no. No, this too majestic. No, it's a but
the saints, sir. Your appointments anyway? What's in your phone?
In your calendar?

Speaker 3 (16:10):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Coldplane now being sued by that former CEO astronomer. Yeah
you're you're What a world we live in? Where is accountability?
Yeah it's their fault. Oh, it's their fault for your behavior.
I almost want to fly to America to defend Coldplay.
I am no expert in call. We're going to call

(16:35):
now an expert with a DJ from down Under. We
just lost the case. Oh my god, George, permission to
broke the bench. We didn't blow it out the walls.
They've got the smoking gun.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Shocking, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Like?

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Take responsibility? Put this big boy pants on?

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well I think he had put his big I think
he took his big boy pants off.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Responsibility for what you've done.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's like if you know, like say this example, backs
you're hypothetical, you go to a a bar patsy, you
get drunk, you have a torrid one night fair with
a man, and then you come in the next day
going do you know what? I'm disgusted with the venue
that gave me all that boost.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
I'm going to show that it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Why is it the buck? All right? So yesterday on
the show, I read how we were talking about small thing,
big rage, and I had a text message from a
guy called Tim who says, whenever he goes to get
his loaf of bread, you know they have it. They
offered to slice it for you. You can have sandwich
or toasted he said, whichever option is, it's always an

(17:40):
uneven number. And we were talking about this and a
lot of you said it is. And then we actually
started to find out about other things that have on
even an uneven number, like Tim Tams So producer Tina
did some field reporting yesterday and went to a very
well known supermarket and did some investigative journalism.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I did.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
I found out that the mint slices are thirteen. I
do not know.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
You're telling you why because a lot of people are
saying conspiracy theory is they're unevens.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
You buy more wild the shame's multi packs.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
You know when you get little slavers fifteen?

Speaker 6 (18:20):
How did you know that?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Though you're not you're not sort of burrowing into them
or something or breaking a hole. You don't want to
those supermarket weirdos. Animal don't call Tina or one bat.
You're barely done second week before you start sort of
giving team members nicknames. I knew he was looking down
his Sydneys as a team. I love one bed. I

(18:44):
saw like five dead ones on the way here from Sydney,
which is a bit of a s I know who's
killing them? You oneiller? So aren't shapes and uneven amount, yeah, fifteen.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
For some reason, I was touching them in slices.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
And looking listen, you've been warned about that. They've got
you a photo of you up there, one bat behind
the counter. Do you not let this toucher back in?

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Do you get a few looks the kick kat blocks.
They're coming in a row of nine.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
You're kidding again? The uneven numbers, so.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Berzar, the little ones four, but the big block nine now.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
And when you mean the little ones, you mean that
what the two barth.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
The little you know, the little yea, the little original one.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, yeah, gotcha? All right, the good reporting, Thank you
very much, Christian. I got this message after the show. Yet,
oh bloody ell midnight gosh, it really created a talking point.
Someone couldn't sleep turning, Oh my god, going to get
my boat right now? Christian has someone who's worked at
Baker's Delight for many years. Maybe they're baking overnight. Ah, true,

(19:48):
making all the good stuff. I thought i'd put yesterday's
discussion re how many slices to a loaf to the
test encountered a few of the loaves I slice you yesterday.
Our most popular loaf, the high fiber white loaf has
eighteen slices for toads. That is great. Twenty for sandwich, well,
oh my yes, a Continental pastor Dura loaf has twenty

(20:13):
two for toasts, a vienna, twenty five a sandwich. And Christian,
do not feel silly about holding up your thumb and
forefinger to show how wide you'd like your sluice. Everyone
does this, including us as we try to explain to
the customer how wide it's going to be. Vicky, thank

(20:34):
you for your midnight message. I feel seen. In validates there,
I feel so seen. And then just after the show yesterday,
I got this email from Scott. Scott Hudson. Now, if
you send me an email for sure, I'm scrolling all
the way down first of all to see your job title.
It's just a little thrill I get. Scott is an

(20:54):
MD managing director. This guy is a leader of humans.
Busy man, and listen to this. This sounds like a leader.
Sometimes a leader emerged the one we need. Christian into
the discussion on bread loaves during about them being uneven,
and feel like it might fall to me to present
the case for having an odd number of slices of

(21:16):
bread in a loaf. Consider these three arguments. You're on
a one. The club sandwich is making a club But
when you go to a hotel, it's the only time
you have a club sandwich. If there's a room service,
you treat yourself. I'm going club sandwich. It's never on

(21:39):
any other like menu. Why not don't you feel like
this stars to it? They don't have a sandwich with
two slices. They haven't chuck an old chicky. Third in
the middle. Yes, a good club sandwich is the best,
isn't it? Christian the club sandwich the unquestionable hero of
hotel dining menus to the world over. The m D's right.

(22:03):
Whilst there may be some slight ingredient variations chicken versus turkey,
it's only chicken. Finding requirement of the club sandwich is
three slices of bread uneven What about chrishan Now this
is the second one, the out the door on the
run breakfast. You're running late. You quickly put a slice
of bread and the toaster, add your spread of choice

(22:23):
and run out the door and eat on the go.
You've only really got time to do this with one
single slice, two doubles the time.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
It's a good point.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Two from two he's batting high at the moment, and
his third one, The Sneaky Sani copyright. There's a copyright simple.
The Sneaky Sani copyright Huddo ink is a thing of
joy best enjoyed on a Sunday evening after a roast
of some kind. The Sneaky Sonan. A siki sonani is
one slice of bread, plenty of butter and some of

(22:54):
the left over meat. It's just the other day with
some leftover spag bowl. You don't put it in a
sandwich or two, bitch, you just do it in one.
You fold it in. It's the poor man's cowcil right O'Connell, inc.
These are my arguments, closing on once for having an
odd number of slices of bread. I rest my case

(23:16):
strong stuff. It's a very good cave. Do you know
what I appeal to? Any chefs right now that work
in pubs, Please put the club sandwich on a menu.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Please do this The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Anyone else hungry now for a club sandwich? Still I
can think about It's dangerous as jobs. Sometimes just the
thought of warm life foods makes you want it right
now and when they put the little toothpicks in a yeah, yes, yes,
all of that, and then with that little side dish
of some just some chips, yeah yes, and maybe some

(23:55):
and the fries.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
It is the perfect meal right there is any time
of the day.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
Day.

Speaker 1 (24:04):

us a club sandwich and send it over?

Speaker 3 (24:08):

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Chicken, fancy living. How do they get hold of that bacon?
Way needs everywhere? Pats and bacon and chicken together is interesting,
isn't it? Yes, pig and chicken, I asked, thank you,
farmer Charles. I am a farm boy over there. I
always easy with that pig. I always I always ask
to remove the bacon. It's not needed. No, no, no,

(24:53):
no no no, I won't come on now. Now there's
enough going on. You've got the chicken, the mayo, and
you've got the lettuce, you got the tomato. And you
know what I do. When I get the club, I
open it up so I gently I can a safe Yeah,
two pit up and I hold that with the other hand.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
It's a dangerous game you're playing.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is because it's like the leaning tower pizza. Right,
it's like ginger, be very careful and then I put
ketchup in it. Oh, replace the lid of the house.
Toothpick gets depressed to maintain structural intechny. House of cards.
Text Andre Pats. When you say you have this power.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
They are lawless Christian. The rest of us do not
need a daily calendar reminder to listen to to your
radio show like that. Suck up, listener war. That's how
much we care changed. Hey, I don't like it where
listeners turn on. Listen, Come on guys, Christian. My reminder
of my Canady yesterday was edge sharing tickets on your show.

(26:23):
I didn't win them. Have a nine year old daughter
who woke up at six a m. Yesterday pestered me
to try and win them for her. Good luck today,
good luck, good luck well today. Actually it is a
game of nonsense. Are we really doing Caitlin's slip of
the edge or tails? Oh? Okay, it's good, it's good.

(26:46):
I just said it yesterday. I'd hope that today wouldn't come. No, no, no, no, no,
no no, I'm looking forward to it. Really good. Yesterday
on the show before we round out this hour, we
were talking about animal strikes. Just came from Trevor after
the show yesterday, late little party, Hi, Christian. Back in
the day, we used to have spud guns, basically a

(27:07):
toy that she it's a tiny bit of potato harmless
I had on myself. You still love my spud gun.
I shot an Indian minor bird and got not bad,
hopefully by accident, and got a dirty stare from the
bird as it bounced off its face. Christian, it flew
high up into the air, turned around, lined me up,
and dropped one right in my face.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yes, hey, back, it's its own spud gun.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
This next email I'm about to read out. If you
have young kids who are listening to the show, turned
the radio down for the next one minute. This is
a story about an animal reproductive organ. Thank you for
warning us. That's a pleasure. I always have that animal

(27:53):
reproductive organ warning the rest of you. Turn out. Every
kid is now turning this up as we just realized
if I was that two over and going. This came
from Remington, Christian Mike, No, no, no, I believe in Remington. Remington, No, no, no.

(28:13):
Hell of a name. Peace Brosoner back in the eighties
used to be in a TV show Code TV show
called Remington Steele. You know Peace Possible the way interview
me years ago, charming guy. He was offered James Bond
way before he finally got it Remington. Still the network
wouldn't release him off on the TV show. He was
trapped in to go and be James Bond fair enough.

(28:35):
Imagine that if you watch the later episodes, he looks
pretty unhappy. It's Remington still because in his mind he's
going actually be James Bond. Well anyway from Remington my
animal stories. I used to work at a farm and
the horse and I had a great bond, but I
didn't expect him to slap me in the face with
his pens.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
Oh dear name.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
I never trusted him after that and we parted ways.
Thank you for reading your friend, Remington, Thank you Remington.

You know, it isn't. I can't claim glory for something

Yesterday on the show, we had an on air pitch
meeting and me and the producers we all pitched various
EDG sheering ideas and producer Kailin had this one that

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Then I'll flip it.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
Again until it lands on ED, and when it does,
they win.

they win.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Cut out the middle land.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Right now, your stories are being chased by an animal.
It's Australia. There must be millions of stories waiting to
be heard. There's no country that has more dangerous animals
than Australia, whether they're waiting for us in the sea,
or on land or above us. Even the magpies here
are vicious bastards, you know, so chased buy an animal.

(37:02):
The reason I'm doing this, I've got a great email
yesterday for one of you, Christian. A friend of mine
cycled around Australia and during one of his stretches he
was chased by a dingo that wanted his ham sandwich.
We were talking earlier, you know, the dingo might I
thought was a club sandwich. Go, my god, you don't
see one of those outside of a hotel menu.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
One in the wild.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I'm having that.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
Make sure you take the toothpicket.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
So we want your stories of animal, if you've been
changed by an animal thirteen fifty five, twenty two. In
between all the fun lockdowns, when there was like a
brief respite, me and the pahonily went over to Hobart
and we hardly cat Hobart beautiful place has been a
couple of times now and we drove for an hour
outside of Hobart to go to a wildlife sanctuary. It

(37:46):
looked beautiful when we were there. One of the handlers,
you know, my wife said, oh, sort on the foats
on the way, and you've got one bats. The kids
really want to see one bats. We're English, you've never
seen a one bat. He goes, we do have a wombat.
It's a sleep at the moment, and it's a teenager.
So I could go and sort of wake it up,
but it's it gets really grumpy, and of course my

(38:06):
wife doesn't take no for answer. I was like, I
don't worry about that, and the kids were like pushing
my mom and she went, go wake it up right
this one. But literally it is like a teenager that
he the keeper says, now listen, you know they are
friendly animals. They don't go I for you, but just
please sit down and don't make any big moves or
any of that. So we all sat down. The one

(38:27):
mat is grumpy ass looking one, but it's released for
no I'll share the phoe told a minute for no
known reason, it starts to chase me. You were defending it.
I was just sat down. I didn't want to wake
up this teenage one, but it marks me. I didn't
know he st weakness. It's just strange. I'm trying to
move away without reacting with my hat because the kid goes,

(38:49):
keep your hands in your pockets, so I'm keeping him
but also just going, oh, get off now. And then
all of a sudden, I only did it pursue me.
It bites my ass, and I mean a real like
out keeper grabs h goes, Oh my god, I've never
oh my, I've never seen that before.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
When you say you're going to show us there your no.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
No, we've had those before and one of my most
popular and shared post one they went viral for crazy
twenty four hours. This is so rare. This place has
now in receptionally going a picture of me being bitten
by this. They're very proud. They are very, very proud.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
You should be proud.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Oh my god, I'm so proud. The guy was obviously
he was worried, like, hey, can you just go and
just check yourself out to see if your kiss having
a jab or anything. I said, I don't think it
pitched skin. I had my jeans on it. It's no
big good to anyway, because it was right around the
back of my back. So my wife had to follow
me into toilets there while I pulled my pants down.
That's our story and we're sticking to it. Bon the
Wrong Wildlife Sanctuary outside Hobarts, Alex, you grew up on

(39:56):
a farm, you must have countless animals chasing. I was
chased by animals every day. Christian.

Speaker 7 (40:00):
We had this ram called Bruce, and Bruce was a
certified nutter sheep had asylums. He would have spent most
of his life and a stretch back at this ram.
Oh my goodness, So is.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
He a horny ram?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
No?

Speaker 7 (40:13):
Well no, he was in this house paddic and like
whenever he got out, like your life was in danger.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Seriously, so what do he butt you and like ram
you with the He would back up.

Speaker 7 (40:21):
Back up like they do and just absolutely go for
you and smash you and on. And he used to
hate the motorbike. So what I used to do is
I used to tease Bruce a bit. So I'd get
on the Bruce and this old ct won two five,
this old motorbike, And every time he would back up,
I'd sort of start to speed off.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
I go just take off, and he gets so angryous game.
And then one day, one day he took his moment.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
He took his moment, starts backing up. I'm on the
motorbike waiting for start taking off. The motorbike conks out,
Oh wow, gotcha the motorbike. I fly across the paddy.
Bruce has one.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
He's standing there and I'm like, oh my god, what
I do?

Speaker 1 (41:05):
He hated the motorbike, and he just starts going at
the motorbike.

Speaker 7 (41:07):
He's just smashing any Yeah, the fuel tank, he was
like just into it and I'm.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Like, Bruce, stop, stop, And I don't know what happened.
He got tired.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Eventually he just walked off, but he wass.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Can he cut your fuel lead?

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Yeah? Horns?

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (41:23):
Another time he knocked my grandfather into a water trough.
Like the stories I could tell you.

Same to you, okay. Whilst northling in Theysburg in South Sir,
I was just driving down looking at the fish and
there was this beautiful little pufferfish there, so I thought
I'd just go down a bit closer. The next minute
just turn and came straight at my mark. So I

(46:12):
thought for some reason I was scared, so I trained
for the surface and it was it's like out.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Of jaws, not a shot. I want six inch puffer fish.

Speaker 13 (46:27):
I absolutely Panny, which was a teen inch fish. I shouted,
swimming as fast as I could, and I thought, I
swam about ten meters, so I'll stop, and I turned
and then again through all the bubbles. All I saw
was puffer fish with his teeth going up and down,
coming through the bubbles.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Come on, what was it going to nibble?

Speaker 4 (46:49):
You take like a year to nibble a weight your
foot and I'd like giant balloons, Like how.

If you were listening last week, let me just give
you a nudge and remind us. Do you remember it?
We're never going to forget that moment We had a
man called Otto. If you missed it, here's your chance
to have this beautiful memory forever.

Speaker 14 (48:08):
Last week, the Missus and I were flicking through Netflix,
trying to decide something to watch, and we came across
a man called Otto. Start watching the movie. We've got
about roughly halfway through. We had to pause it because
one of the girls wake up.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
We said we'd.

Speaker 14 (48:21):
Continue it the following night, turn the television on and
it came on seven Mate and the exact same movie,
a man called Otto was playing at the exact same moment.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Thro known as show folklore now as the Otto Huge
and true. Believe it, Alex, you've gone for us Moth.
So you know the game? Guess who love the game?
How good is it? You've got to guess the other character? Yeah,
so the twins they love it.

Speaker 7 (48:49):
They just love playing it and I sort of sit
in the middle of I adjudicate, you know, because they're
only six. So once they both chose Jordan, and so
we're going through and then like, hang on, why have
you both got Jordan? What the next one that gets
guessing each other's They come to Olivia, So twice in
a row they have the same character.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
The third time.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
They have the same character. What the fourth time they
one of them chooses a different one. And then at
the last minute Eve he goes, oh no, I'm going
to change it too. I think it was Daniel puts
it to Daniel and I'm like, okay, we've got to
stop now.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
This is getting weird.

Speaker 7 (49:28):
You've chosen the same one four times. Now we're stopping
the game.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
We're out stop.

Speaker 6 (49:34):
To kill too weird.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Lame o.

Speaker 8 (49:39):
I've got Boddy, You're not going to believe this. Calm down,

the weirdest Just guess who was the tilt z.

Speaker 1 (49:50):

Speaker 7 (49:53):
And you guys got some weird little messaging going on
here is exactly on that little trike you know? Is
the joke on Dad here?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
I don't know? And they just sort of smiled at
each other. Wow. We thought the mote was big, but
then we went to the Jordan. What are the odds?
I just found this this old TV advert for the
great classic game Guess Who.

Speaker 9 (50:23):
Mystery Day's games.

Speaker 11 (50:29):
Sank you, my dear, you win, Let's play against.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
When you play against, do not actually talk? On my
old radio show, we did a human version of Guess
Who with twelve sets of identical twins. Wow awsome, it
was incredible. We hired this the EDA during the day
when it was empty, so we had two sets of

(50:59):
rate seating and so they had to sort of fold
themselves in half when they got knocked over each one.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
That they were all.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Dressed like exactly like the characters guests, so the beret,
the beer, the man with the glasses and stuff this.
But tell you what was spooky is when they all
started to arrive. If you've seen a pair of identical twins,
and oh my god, you start to see two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ten,
and then it gets up to like sixteen of the
it is terrifying to be in a room and then

(51:27):
on a stage with identical twins. Christian, I've got an
amazing what are the odds a moment I had just
the other night. I was driving home from work and
I called my dear old dad, who lives in Mclarenville. Essay.
We chatted for a while before I said goodbye. Asked him,
there we have for dinner tonight? He said, buttered chicken.
Then I called my mum. They've been divorced Christian for
more than thirty years, who lives in Melbourne. I asked

(51:49):
her the same question. She too was having butter chicken. Christian,
Oh my god, it gets bigger. You're not gonna believe it,
but I do plan to have buttered chicken. So the
whole family across two separate steaks prepared the same mill.

my meal for verification, and you've got You've got the
you've got the roties. There a nice glass of red Littsukapino.
To me, that looks great, but I love the photos.
And then another email here with supplementary photo evidence as well. Christian.
I was recently matched with a girl online dating and
we've been having some texting back and forth until we

at Hawaii. I continued on to Canada. A couple of

on the floor at the airport in Hawaii. And We're
