There are personal stories of kindness and generosity, including Christian’s very funny mistake of accidentally leaving the Airbnb and his wife’s response, plus chats about cricket movies, favourite songs for Sydney, and a $500 voucher giveaway to Harvey Norman.

Hey?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Over the last couple of days, as we get to
know you and introduce the show to you, guys, we've
been beginning the show with stories of hope because I
think we really need them. There's something nourishing about them
in such a tough and trying week. This week, Patsy,
what is Ahmed's gofund me campaign up to now?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Is that the guy's a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's such a beautiful story out of such pain and sadness.
On Sunday night, we didn't even at this time last week,
we didn't know Armored. Yeah, it's in the community doing good.
Is this one of those people? Now we do know
who he is and PASSI what's it up to now?
This incredible go fund me Paige, which is raising money
for Armored from all over the world.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
It's incredible, Christian. It's over two and a half million now,
so two million, one hundred and fifty seven thousand, nine
hundred and fifty four dollars. It's gone up by about
two hundred k, which is just phenomenal and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And he still goes back to work. He's still going
to have a couple more surgeries and I get the things.
Someone like that is someone who wants to be part
of a community, and he will be going back to
that tobacconist. Yeah, I loot Shanie's going to be doing
a Monday to Saturday shift anymore. It might be you know,
sporadic hours. It might be traveling around the world again.
But what a lovely thing this has been.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Oh, it's just so heartwarming. William Markham has written, Ahmed,
I don't know how much a coffee would cost at Bondai,
but the next ten are on me, mate, And if
you're ever in the Northern Territory, find me and I'll
take you to the best fishing spots in the world.
You're a fair Dinkham legend, he is. And Beth Schmutter
has also written, Ahmed, do you save many lives? Thank
(02:00):
you for the heroic actions. I also want to acknowledge
your parents for raising such a special person. Healing thoughts
to you and happiness to your family.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, his mom and dad spoke so well about their son,
and his mum just said at one point this is
who our son is.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Incredible thing. Rio. There were some special scenes down at
Bondai yesterday.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yeah, down at the Bondai Memorial there's this beautiful vigil
full of mountain essentially of beautiful flowers and it's obviously
very quiet, very somber. And then this legend Matthew Hayes
just started singing. Just a regular guy and not a singer,
just a regular bloke just started singing, I Am you are,
we are Australian, which is a gutsy move to just
suddenly start, you know, start breaking out in song. But
(02:45):
then the rest of the crowd slowly, bit by bit
joined him until they were in you know, this full
chorus singing this beautiful Australian iconic song.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Let's ever listen.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
We are one, but we are androm the lands on
Earth we come, we share tree and sing with one voice.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh my god, that is incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Don't you find through this week you feel connected more
to each other?
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Definitely? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I do.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I feel deb connected to you guys, to this city,
to the people who I don't even know, who've done
these incredible acts of courage this week, and also just
the acts of kindness people all over the world seeing
what Australia is growing through at the moment, and also
just so many great stories of hope that really will
last longer than what happens Sunday night. That's what's been
(03:50):
really really lovely. You know that's singing down there last night.
That's going to stay with me more over the weekend
than the scenes on the bridge on Sunday night. If
there are any stories of hope that you know about
that we're not talking about, please let me know. You
can email me Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au.

who talk about four seven five, three, one oh four
(04:31):
three Ria, What are your Friday Recommendations.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
You guys have to watch a Moody Christmas. It is
maybe the most underrated Australian show ever.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
Matt, have you, I'm surprised you?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes? What's his name? The guy from Patrick.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
From Patrick braml Yes, Frost be.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
A young Patrick Bramble from Colin from mccaby is a
very young Patrick.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Love that show. Yes.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It's also written by Trent O'Donnell, who's written probably Australia's
best like TV writer.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
He's written for Hacks Brooklyn ninety nine. Oh we girl.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, he's incredible and it is It's only one season,
which is such a shame because it is the perfect
TV show. It is set in It's one Christmas, one
family Christmas every single year, the Moody family.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
So it's six episodes and it's year after year after
year after the great idea. And you never see in Australia.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We never get Christmas shows or movies.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
That are actually set in Australia. It's always a white.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Christmas, it's always snow, it's home alone, and this is
such such a it's an Aussie Christmas. Yet it's set
in this backyard every year. This Dad's promising to build
this pool that he never gets around to, and it's
just this amazingly ozsy dysfunctional family.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I just sat down and watched that with my family
this year because yeah, when we obviously for us that
Christmas you talk about, which is every Christmas movie that's
always just how it's been, right, So she moved to
suddenly Australia and now Christmas here is completely different. Yes,
you're in thonged shorts. You look at its going Happy
Christmas and there's a barbecue one yeah yeah, yeah right,
(06:05):
there's no great there's no mark, there's no snow. It's
different and so yeah, I feel like I want to
embrace an Aussie Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I will watch that.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah you should, and all Australians should. I think everyone
will love it. It's a real dry Australian humor. I
cannot believe it hasn't got more seasons. It's so it's
on ABC I view.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Then one of the writers is from my hometown of Cannable.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So every time I say him, I'm like, mate,
well done. That is one of the greatest things you've
ever written.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So have you got have you both seen its?
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ri?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Are you say dysfunctional, but I say quite normal.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Yes, you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Right, there are no functional families. When you get your
own one and you think, well, I'm going to do
it's so much better than my marriage as a dad
with nineteen and twenty one year old daughters. I think
I've improved it by three percent. It's good, and it
turns out so much harder. You think it's so much
than you think.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, we're going to take a break.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We'll come back with your recommendations. Share yours with us.
On four seventy five three one oh four three The
Christian O'Connell show, gust between our Friday recommendations TV showings,
books and movies. So we've enjoyed might be something you
want to get into over the weekend or over Christmas.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I just suddenly.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Realized when you get up early in the morning, your
brain is not fully awake, and suddenly a couple of
hours later you're like, oh my god, what did I
do that? For today? Is that we're leaving the airbnb
flat we've been in all this week, and obviously our
wife is still asleep, and so I had to leave
early this morning. And because I haven't been sleeping very well.
I slept in the spare room last night, and so
(07:39):
I suddenly thought, I haven't read the details. You know,
they all have different protocols of what you're doing on checkout.
So I just stripped the bed, folded it all up,
and throw it in the bath. I'm just suddenly working up.
Now my wife is going to think, did an even accident.
I didn't know why. Stripped them best fine, stripped the bed.
I think it out the cleaning team. Okay, I'm like
part of the cleaning team. I think it's a nice gift.
(08:01):
Stripped the bet okay, But rolling I've been putting in
the bath is expressed.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And this is why my wife is going to wake
up at some point the next half an hour and go,
oh my god, maybe that age where it had a
litlex last time.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
It's a bit embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It just doesn't want me to see the mess, mummy.
Can you clean the sheets? Don't check them? All? Right?
Our Friday recommendations.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's a movie I watched the last weekend right and
before I before I recommended it, just joined up Paul
Kelly song. I went online just to see what kind
of critical reaction. It's got I'm afraid to say, it's
been critically panned on Rotten Tomatoes twenty one percent.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That's pretty low.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
A major newspaper in this country said, it's a dumb
movie that.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Thinks you're dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh, I have to say, I loved it, well you.
I don't know what that says about me and my
dumb kids, but we just loved our asses off for
an hour and a half. Is a relentlessly silly, playful movie.
It's called Playdate. It's Kevin James.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
Oh I want to see this.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I want to say, absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I made my daughter, made my nineteen year old daughter
Lowis watch it with me.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I tried all the emotional bribery that I had. Okay,
I said she could pick takeaway, but she needs to
watch us movie for at least half an hour. Since you, dad,
this is brilliant. It's for lentusly funny. There's enough of
a plot. Okay, there's enough of a plot to sustain it.
It's got Kevin James, who I will watch in anything,
and also he co stars someone I didn't know could
(09:23):
do comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Is actually funny than caj in it.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Alan Richardson, who is the Matt Mountain that is Reacher
the TV show Reacher better than Tom Cruise's Reacher. He's
in it and is very funny. I didn't want to see.
He's very gifted at physical comedy. She got the two
of these. They're like two cartoon men. We really really
loved it. I thought, if you just want some of these,
that's unpretentiously silly and it's going to make you laugh
(09:48):
for an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And a half.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And I think we all need that right now. Watch Playdate.
It's on Amazon Prime. And the other thing that I
found actually of great comfort this week. It's a book
I've read many times before. It's a book I've gifted
to other people before as well. It's Called's got a
lovely title, is called What Matters Most. It's written by
a guy called James Hollis. James Hollis is been a psychotherapist,
(10:09):
a counselor, I think for about fifty years. He's in
his eighties. He's still a counselor. He's written about twenty books.
This book is him just talking about actually, at the
end of the day, here's what matters in the world.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's a lovely book.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It is about happiness, but it's removed of any of
the bs and psychobabble cliche you get in too many
books and a self out stuff when they talk about happiness.
This isn't a very different way. I wouldn't say it's
for a fainthearted. But whenever I read this book, even
a couple of chapters this week, I find myself deeply
more connected to myself. And I think that when we
(10:43):
come back towards ourself and actually what does matter most,
you find that, actually you find that you in other people.
And I think we really need that this week. I
really need it this week. I cannot recommend this book enough.
It's such a beautiful it's funny, it's got grace, it's
got light and joy.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It is a lovely book. It's a very easy book
to read.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's called What Matters Most by James Hollis, and he
also wrote a great book that really helped me in
my mid forties called Finding Meaning in the Second Half
of Life. It was such a powerful book for me.
After three chapters, I turned to a wife and went,
that's it. I think we should move to Australia.
Speaker 11 (11:17):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now, James Hollis does not recommend that it's not a
book about emigrating and blowing up your life in your
mid forties. But that was they said. They said that
we bring you know ourselves to any book. You could
read a book Rio and they have a completely different meaning.
Three chapters into that book about finding me your second enough,
Like I get it, James, No more to the chase.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm booking one way fights. I'm quitting a successful, easy
job and moving to Australia.

a situation briefing room at the Oval office. Suddenly some
sort of secret meeting room here. We went down seventeen
floors to there was our boss in Melbourne on a

people stranger were telling me in the room.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Of all the songs that are pouring in from all
over Sydney, Songs for Sydney makes sense? You get it
for the last ten minutes, Ruo and I'm really trying
to work out why someone wants to hear Sunglasses at night.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Corey Hart, it's a good song. I don't know why
it's right.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Sidney just needs a banger, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Corey Hart and the hip Man Heart and Melissa Jonhart
are all related brothers?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Are he having me on?
Speaker 7 (28:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Related?
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Is he like the wrestler?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Come on, I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Why you say you don't believe me? Like, like I said,
the Earth's flat? Why is it?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Like that's the craziest thing ever. I'm scared to believe Christian,
I'm scared to believe why. Importantly, why is this right?
For the song for Sydney? Pally wants to play it
as a mystery that we're never going to solve, So
it becomes while the folk lare the show?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Do you remember we're doing songs for Sydney and now
DJ the English I never said why he's paying sunglasses
at night? So the end of Donnie at Darker you
pretend you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. I'm
so confused.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's been such a big emotional week, but I'm so
confused by that. All right, songs for Sydney?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
What are we playing?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
After the eight o'clock news this morning? I've just understood
why Alex Cullen, our sports supporter, has had to leave
the show.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
It is strange. I mean, there's a big sports day,
the ashes and lots of the things. He's gone. He
couldn't even stretcher to eight.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He's gone to fly back to Melbourne to get in
a car his poor wife has done at acl get
his wife in the car, three kids, all under the
age of six in the car, then drive to Newcastle.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Here, from Melbourne to Newcastle, that's what twelve hours with
three kids.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
He's going to become.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Alex Griswold is actually going to go Matt that was
the last same car. That should be a reality show.
That is the worst car to be in. This this
today in Australia. You've got three kids.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Are we there yet? No, we're on well a long
way from there.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
We haven't left the border.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Just the easy way to wind up dad driving a
long trip was oh we there yet? The other one
I used to do was how many more corners? And
for some reason that would just send them into a rage.
Ever know, probably an app Now how many more corners?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
We call this the People's Playlist, and today it's all
about songs for Sydney.
Speaker 12 (30:06):
Yeah, they were listening and choosing the music and just
when hit eight, somebody play the station, shouty play the
People's play Listen Christian.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Calling right now and help Christian.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
The song for Friday Show song for Sydney, What would
you love us to play? You can text me oh
four seven five three one oh four three. We've got
an hour left. Let's make every song count. I hope
I'm getting the pronunciation right, Peter Petter.
Speaker 11 (30:38):
It's Peter, was right, Christian Petter?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You don't you don't spell Peter like that?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Yes, that's that's like the better.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Comment, is it?
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Maybe it's the English thing.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I'm so sorry, Peter Peter, welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
Thanks for a great way. Christian.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh well, it's been an extraordinary week and many times
I've I've wondered whether it was the right thing to do.
You know, we I came up with the idea a
couple of weeks ago. I wanted just to jump on
air after the great Jones in and just said, you know,
goodbye to you after twenty years, amazing twenty years last week,
and I just thought it be a nice way to
introduce ourselves to you. And of course we flew in
Sunday and then Sydney changed and it was actually a
(31:20):
big I didn't see very on Sunday night. I didn't
realize if it was just going to be too much
while everyone's going through the worst week in Sydney's history,
and then suddenly there's an English guy trying with his
best intention to say hello and introduce his team.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So I really hope it has helped. Actually, Peter, thank
you for saying that.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
Yeah, it's been great having you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh well, we've really really enjoyed it, and I cannot
wait to come back. I think, actually, bizarrely, in this
extraordinary six days i've been here, it's like a deep
dive into really getting to know somebody. You know, sometimes
a stranger can suddenly become a big part of your life.
They go because you bond over something so extreme together,
it brings you closer. I've in six days, I feel
(32:02):
incredibly close to this city. Cannot wait to come back
in January. And yeah, to be with you guys in
the morning. Now, what song can I play you, Peter?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
I would love to hear tub Something by Chamber one Ba.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
What a great song this is. It's a perfect song
of getting back up again as well. Now, Peter, that
is going to be the next song we play on
the show that is going to start the next hour
at eight. Is there anything that you would like to
(32:36):
say ahead of me playing that, just a.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
Massive shout out to the Bondai Lifeguards for their actions
on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, it's incredible. There's so many beautiful images.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Peter, thank you for giving the show ago any lovely
word to have a great, safe Christmas as well, and
I speak to you in the new year.
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Love to hear you from your Christian take care.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Take care. Who we got here? Is this Christian? Christian? Yeah? Christian? Yes, Christian?
Speaker 2 (33:06):

is mislabel people and I don't know if they just
put my name down there. They're a little bit tired today.

It's John Farnon's That's Freedom.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Oh my god, John Filan, That's Freedom is a brilliant song.
At the moment we've could have been the situation situation

All right, we'll see if we can stick that on.
Have a lovely Christmas Thanksgiving the.
Speaker 1 (34:46):

I'm confused, I'm like I thought she said she was Karen.
Who's winding up.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Who here the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yes, we're on the show. We had so many calls.
We're rolling over a part too. What are the things
that kids today will never know about? We had some
great calls. Here's some of them.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I wouldn't know that shops aren't open all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Kid, these says don't know about encyclopedias.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
They would have no idea of the UbD or with
your favorite show, you'd have to wait a week for
the next episode, saving you twenty cent pieces and then
heading down to this spacey arcade.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Picking up a phone receiver and getting tangled up in
the cord and then slamming it down at the end
of an angry phone call.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I miss those days.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I love the fact that the lady that called in
about the encyclopedia sounded so posh, like she was a
lady that still uses Encyclopedia Britannica or sells them door
to door.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's another thing kids that they would ever know about,
people that go door to door l ladies.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Here we also that guy used to come round with
dodgy DVDs and videos pirate ones oh yeah, yeah, which
had actually been filmed in a cinema.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yes, something you'd see.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Someone's head get up and go in front of someone's
great big camcorder.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You're a cam quarters as well. Now our phone is
a camcorder.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Used to be like the side of a door on
your uncles shoulder, massive an actual tripod.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's incredible. That doesn't feel that long ago.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Some of the other ones that come in black and
white TV and you need to go to go and
change the channels from Lisa going down to local milkbarn
picking out the lollies. Rheo was also big En Carter fan.
He still plays online with friends. Colin was a fellow
nerd like Rio Teresa using a Sylvester switchboard at work
to take phone calls. Can we still buy an old
(36:40):
switchboard like on eBay or something? And then you have
the Chuckle sisters out there in New Year taking calls.
I'm just patching you through to the DJ right now, Jim.
I rewinding video tapes before returning it to the storage
with the days of be kind rewind lining up overnight
to be the first in line for concert tickets. That's on, Chris,
if you got any more, give me a call kids today,
(37:01):
what would they have no idea about call me on
thirteen fifty five to twenty two. You can also message
the show oh four seven five three one oh four three.
A couple more that I remembered yesterday after the show
just how hard it was to record music nowadays, any
song ever made instance, it's on your phone, the world's
biggest music library.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Didn't used to be like that Normally, in the days
of the eighties and cassettes. You'd have your cassette primed
and ready to record, when you just had to wait
there for days and then to when the DJ would
play your favorite song, and then he'd ruin it. Someone
like me would ruin it by talking over the end
of it. That's the BC boys, your fighter running. God
damn idiots.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't want to hear your voice over the end
of my song, and I'm gonna leave your recording.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Then compact is laser technology came along and that got
easier with the clicking and dragging.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
But then they're trying to put people in prison. Yes,
do you remember that.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Metallica is so embarrassed about it they went to lock
up the fans. They just wanted their music their way
On CDs. And then do you remember that the portable
CD players you took it on holiday? Yes, so yeah,
CD warpman and you'd have that wallet of CDs that
you've made your little mixed CDs.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
But just how fragile.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Even though we had anti rolling technology, you had to
move a millimeter to that thing sneeze slightly, and that
it jumped.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
And also I remember the phrase. Kids today would have
no idea but the phrase it's back on, run run,
diving over the back of the couch. You know, you'd
have that four minute and break right to go to
the toilet and go and get your snacks and then
go back on dad, It's back on.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
All right, kids today we'll take your goose next. What
would they have no idea about?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
The Christian O'Connell's show, Go on podcast.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Good morning a sister, Christian O'Connell's show on Gold. It
is a twenty seven John Farnham, you're the voice. We're
playing songs a Cidy today, picked by you guys. Thank
you very much for all the beautiful, powerful songs. Songs
are very familiar to us, but today feel very very different.
I've played this song so many times in my twenty
seven years and breakfast for I've never heard that line.
(39:10):
We're not going to live in fear and it just
land completely different. All right, we're doing kids today? What
would they have no idea about?
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Christian? Who's this from? Yeah? I guess sharks. Who it's from?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Sharks got an Instagram account Shark seventy. Uh, we're going
to Sydney. There are humans called sharks as well. Things
that kids wouldn't get these days, running fingernails down the
chalkboards at school, or cleaning the dusters by whacking them
(39:45):
together to make a large dust plume.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Great phrase there, plume as well.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, we used to have crazy teachers that we'd actually
throw that wooden chalkboard at us to silence us.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yew Rain and terrabuc. In the eighties, children had no
rights Christian.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Kids today would have no idea what it's like to
phone a phone number to find out what the time is.
Everything's a clock these days, I haven't challenged your time
to make away. Kids will not know how to address
an envelope. Oh that is, do you understand yes?
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Or what to do?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
How to send it by post? Yes? I had to
educate one of my daughters who's.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Nineteen and just finished our first year at university about
how to send a letter. You're way smarter than me,
and yet I said, you don't have any streets smart.
All right, let's take some more calls here. What we
kids today have no idea about, Donna, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (40:45):
Hello, good morning. Kids today would have no idea how
to do a reverse call to their mum box.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Yes, yes, you.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Did like that. I'll ring three times and that's just
trying to come and get me.
Speaker 11 (40:58):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
Have to make the call, yes, or if you didn't
have twenty cents, there were two options. You could call
one eight hundred reverse or they're cheaper competitor one eight
hundred Mom, Dad.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
You're kidding? Yes, how did that work?
Speaker 10 (41:12):
Well?
Speaker 1 (41:12):
You know my day?
Speaker 8 (41:14):
All right?
Speaker 6 (41:15):
You call them and then you call one one hundred diverse.
It goes to mum and dad and then they say
to accept the call, you have to accept.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
The cost of what I would do. Come get me
a swimming pool and hang up and take it to
the man. Donna, thank you very much. You cool. Have
a lovely saved Christmas.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
You too, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (41:36):

Speaker 3 (42:00):
He doesn't know the tolls at the moment because the
beat goes.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Off and.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You always had to have a nice loose change coins.
There's an absolute pain pain tolls by cash. Sometimes yes,
you just get out as well. If you didn't line
it up perfect, the arm wouldn't lean across, and sometimes
that door wouldn't open enough because you're by the little booth.
It was an ordeal moving around the city. Yeah, that's
ago on, Brad. Have a lovely saved Christmas and thanks
(42:26):
your kind words. Thank you, cheers mate, Christian.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Hello again, hello again. You can call the shop as
many times as you'd want to make hot chits in
butchered paper for one dollar.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
What can you even get for one dollar, he says,
not a bag of chips, that's for sure. But you're
right that butcher paper had that waxy feel to it. Yes, yeah,
that's the one that's there.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
We're all different.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
Christian O'Connell shown podcast.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Thank you very much, all these great songs. Christian kids

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Over the last couple of days, as we get to
know you and introduce the show to you, guys, we've
been beginning the show with stories of hope because I
think we really need them. There's something nourishing about them
in such a tough and trying week. This week, Patsy,
what is Ahmed's gofund me campaign up to now?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Is that the guy's a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's such a beautiful story out of such pain and sadness.
On Sunday night, we didn't even at this time last week,
we didn't know Armored. Yeah, it's in the community doing good.
Is this one of those people? Now we do know
who he is and PASSI what's it up to now?
This incredible go fund me Paige, which is raising money
for Armored from all over the world.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
It's incredible, Christian. It's over two and a half million now,
so two million, one hundred and fifty seven thousand, nine
hundred and fifty four dollars. It's gone up by about
two hundred k, which is just phenomenal and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And he still goes back to work. He's still going
to have a couple more surgeries and I get the things.
Someone like that is someone who wants to be part
of a community, and he will be going back to
that tobacconist. Yeah, I loot Shanie's going to be doing
a Monday to Saturday shift anymore. It might be you know,
sporadic hours. It might be traveling around the world again.
But what a lovely thing this has been.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Oh, it's just so heartwarming. William Markham has written, Ahmed,
I don't know how much a coffee would cost at Bondai,
but the next ten are on me, mate, And if
you're ever in the Northern Territory, find me and I'll
take you to the best fishing spots in the world.
You're a fair Dinkham legend, he is. And Beth Schmutter
has also written, Ahmed, do you save many lives? Thank
(02:00):
you for the heroic actions. I also want to acknowledge
your parents for raising such a special person. Healing thoughts
to you and happiness to your family.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, his mom and dad spoke so well about their son,
and his mum just said at one point this is
who our son is.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Incredible thing. Rio. There were some special scenes down at
Bondai yesterday.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yeah, down at the Bondai Memorial there's this beautiful vigil
full of mountain essentially of beautiful flowers and it's obviously
very quiet, very somber. And then this legend Matthew Hayes
just started singing. Just a regular guy and not a singer,
just a regular bloke just started singing, I Am you are,
we are Australian, which is a gutsy move to just
suddenly start, you know, start breaking out in song. But
(02:45):
then the rest of the crowd slowly, bit by bit
joined him until they were in you know, this full
chorus singing this beautiful Australian iconic song.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Let's ever listen.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
We are one, but we are androm the lands on
Earth we come, we share tree and sing with one voice.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh my god, that is incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Don't you find through this week you feel connected more
to each other?
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Definitely? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I do.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I feel deb connected to you guys, to this city,
to the people who I don't even know, who've done
these incredible acts of courage this week, and also just
the acts of kindness people all over the world seeing
what Australia is growing through at the moment, and also
just so many great stories of hope that really will
last longer than what happens Sunday night. That's what's been
(03:50):
really really lovely. You know that's singing down there last night.
That's going to stay with me more over the weekend
than the scenes on the bridge on Sunday night. If
there are any stories of hope that you know about
that we're not talking about, please let me know. You
can email me Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au.

or a book that you love that you'd love us
who talk about four seven five, three, one oh four
(04:31):
three Ria, What are your Friday Recommendations.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
You guys have to watch a Moody Christmas. It is
maybe the most underrated Australian show ever.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
Matt, have you, I'm surprised you?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes? What's his name? The guy from Patrick.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
From Patrick braml Yes, Frost be.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
A young Patrick Bramble from Colin from mccaby is a
very young Patrick.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Love that show. Yes.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It's also written by Trent O'Donnell, who's written probably Australia's
best like TV writer.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
He's written for Hacks Brooklyn ninety nine. Oh we girl.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, he's incredible and it is It's only one season,
which is such a shame because it is the perfect
TV show. It is set in It's one Christmas, one
family Christmas every single year, the Moody family.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
So it's six episodes and it's year after year after
year after the great idea. And you never see in Australia.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We never get Christmas shows or movies.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
That are actually set in Australia. It's always a white.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Christmas, it's always snow, it's home alone, and this is
such such a it's an Aussie Christmas. Yet it's set
in this backyard every year. This Dad's promising to build
this pool that he never gets around to, and it's
just this amazingly ozsy dysfunctional family.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I just sat down and watched that with my family
this year because yeah, when we obviously for us that
Christmas you talk about, which is every Christmas movie that's
always just how it's been, right, So she moved to
suddenly Australia and now Christmas here is completely different. Yes,
you're in thonged shorts. You look at its going Happy
Christmas and there's a barbecue one yeah yeah, yeah right,
(06:05):
there's no great there's no mark, there's no snow. It's
different and so yeah, I feel like I want to
embrace an Aussie Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I will watch that.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah you should, and all Australians should. I think everyone
will love it. It's a real dry Australian humor. I
cannot believe it hasn't got more seasons. It's so it's
on ABC I view.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Then one of the writers is from my hometown of Cannable.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So every time I say him, I'm like, mate,
well done. That is one of the greatest things you've
ever written.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So have you got have you both seen its?
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Ri?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Are you say dysfunctional, but I say quite normal.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Yes, you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Right, there are no functional families. When you get your
own one and you think, well, I'm going to do
it's so much better than my marriage as a dad
with nineteen and twenty one year old daughters. I think
I've improved it by three percent. It's good, and it
turns out so much harder. You think it's so much
than you think.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, we're going to take a break.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We'll come back with your recommendations. Share yours with us.
On four seventy five three one oh four three The
Christian O'Connell show, gust between our Friday recommendations TV showings,
books and movies. So we've enjoyed might be something you
want to get into over the weekend or over Christmas.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I just suddenly.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Realized when you get up early in the morning, your
brain is not fully awake, and suddenly a couple of
hours later you're like, oh my god, what did I
do that? For today? Is that we're leaving the airbnb
flat we've been in all this week, and obviously our
wife is still asleep, and so I had to leave
early this morning. And because I haven't been sleeping very well.
I slept in the spare room last night, and so
(07:39):
I suddenly thought, I haven't read the details. You know,
they all have different protocols of what you're doing on checkout.
So I just stripped the bed, folded it all up,
and throw it in the bath. I'm just suddenly working up.
Now my wife is going to think, did an even accident.
I didn't know why. Stripped them best fine, stripped the bed.
I think it out the cleaning team. Okay, I'm like
part of the cleaning team. I think it's a nice gift.
(08:01):
Stripped the bet okay, But rolling I've been putting in
the bath is expressed.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And this is why my wife is going to wake
up at some point the next half an hour and go,
oh my god, maybe that age where it had a
litlex last time.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
It's a bit embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It just doesn't want me to see the mess, mummy.
Can you clean the sheets? Don't check them? All? Right?
Our Friday recommendations.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's a movie I watched the last weekend right and
before I before I recommended it, just joined up Paul
Kelly song. I went online just to see what kind
of critical reaction. It's got I'm afraid to say, it's
been critically panned on Rotten Tomatoes twenty one percent.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That's pretty low.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
A major newspaper in this country said, it's a dumb
movie that.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Thinks you're dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Oh, I have to say, I loved it, well you.
I don't know what that says about me and my
dumb kids, but we just loved our asses off for
an hour and a half. Is a relentlessly silly, playful movie.
It's called Playdate. It's Kevin James.
Speaker 10 (08:54):
Oh I want to see this.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I want to say, absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I made my daughter, made my nineteen year old daughter
Lowis watch it with me.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I tried all the emotional bribery that I had. Okay,
I said she could pick takeaway, but she needs to
watch us movie for at least half an hour. Since you, dad,
this is brilliant. It's for lentusly funny. There's enough of
a plot. Okay, there's enough of a plot to sustain it.
It's got Kevin James, who I will watch in anything,
and also he co stars someone I didn't know could
(09:23):
do comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Is actually funny than caj in it.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Alan Richardson, who is the Matt Mountain that is Reacher
the TV show Reacher better than Tom Cruise's Reacher. He's
in it and is very funny. I didn't want to see.
He's very gifted at physical comedy. She got the two
of these. They're like two cartoon men. We really really
loved it. I thought, if you just want some of these,
that's unpretentiously silly and it's going to make you laugh
(09:48):
for an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
And a half.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And I think we all need that right now. Watch Playdate.
It's on Amazon Prime. And the other thing that I
found actually of great comfort this week. It's a book
I've read many times before. It's a book I've gifted
to other people before as well. It's Called's got a
lovely title, is called What Matters Most. It's written by
a guy called James Hollis. James Hollis is been a psychotherapist,
(10:09):
a counselor, I think for about fifty years. He's in
his eighties. He's still a counselor. He's written about twenty books.
This book is him just talking about actually, at the
end of the day, here's what matters in the world.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's a lovely book.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It is about happiness, but it's removed of any of
the bs and psychobabble cliche you get in too many
books and a self out stuff when they talk about happiness.
This isn't a very different way. I wouldn't say it's
for a fainthearted. But whenever I read this book, even
a couple of chapters this week, I find myself deeply
more connected to myself. And I think that when we
(10:43):
come back towards ourself and actually what does matter most,
you find that, actually you find that you in other people.
And I think we really need that this week. I
really need it this week. I cannot recommend this book enough.
It's such a beautiful it's funny, it's got grace, it's
got light and joy.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It is a lovely book. It's a very easy book
to read.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's called What Matters Most by James Hollis, and he
also wrote a great book that really helped me in
my mid forties called Finding Meaning in the Second Half
of Life. It was such a powerful book for me.
After three chapters, I turned to a wife and went,
that's it. I think we should move to Australia.
Speaker 11 (11:17):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now, James Hollis does not recommend that it's not a
book about emigrating and blowing up your life in your
mid forties. But that was they said. They said that
we bring you know ourselves to any book. You could
read a book Rio and they have a completely different meaning.
Three chapters into that book about finding me your second enough,
Like I get it, James, No more to the chase.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm booking one way fights. I'm quitting a successful, easy
job and moving to Australia.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:50):

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I've also just seen on the Harvey Norman website the

Yes, say, we're in a high level seriously, what's like
a situation briefing room at the Oval office. Suddenly some
sort of secret meeting room here. We went down seventeen
floors to there was our boss in Melbourne on a

And I went silent, and I noticed you called very bad.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
It was a good one like it it was.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
However, I get the feeling it's going to be that
people stranger were telling me in the room.
Speaker 1 (14:56):

You get a compliment, you get being offended by it.

Of all the songs that are pouring in from all
over Sydney, Songs for Sydney makes sense? You get it

to work out why someone wants to hear Sunglasses at night.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Corey Hart, it's a good song. I don't know why
it's right.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Sidney just needs a banger, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Corey Hart and the hip Man Heart and Melissa Jonhart
are all related brothers?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Are he having me on?
Speaker 7 (28:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Related?
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Is he like the wrestler?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Come on, I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Why you say you don't believe me? Like, like I said,
the Earth's flat? Why is it?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Like that's the craziest thing ever. I'm scared to believe Christian,
I'm scared to believe why. Importantly, why is this right?
For the song for Sydney? Pally wants to play it
as a mystery that we're never going to solve, So
it becomes while the folk lare the show?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Do you remember we're doing songs for Sydney and now
DJ the English I never said why he's paying sunglasses
at night? So the end of Donnie at Darker you
pretend you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. I'm
so confused.

It's been such a big emotional week, but I'm so
confused by that. All right, songs for Sydney?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
What are we playing?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
After the eight o'clock news this morning? I've just understood
why Alex Cullen, our sports supporter, has had to leave
the show.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
It is strange. I mean, there's a big sports day,
the ashes and lots of the things. He's gone. He
couldn't even stretcher to eight.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He's gone to fly back to Melbourne to get in
a car his poor wife has done at acl get
his wife in the car, three kids, all under the
age of six in the car, then drive to Newcastle.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Here, from Melbourne to Newcastle, that's what twelve hours with
three kids.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
He's going to become.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Alex Griswold is actually going to go Matt that was
the last same car. That should be a reality show.
That is the worst car to be in. This this
today in Australia. You've got three kids.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Are we there yet? No, we're on well a long
way from there.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
We haven't left the border.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Just the easy way to wind up dad driving a
long trip was oh we there yet? The other one
I used to do was how many more corners? And
for some reason that would just send them into a rage.
Ever know, probably an app Now how many more corners?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
We call this the People's Playlist, and today it's all
about songs for Sydney.
Speaker 12 (30:06):
Yeah, they were listening and choosing the music and just
when hit eight, somebody play the station, shouty play the
People's play Listen Christian.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Calling right now and help Christian.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
The song for Friday Show song for Sydney, What would
you love us to play? You can text me oh
four seven five three one oh four three. We've got
an hour left. Let's make every song count. I hope
I'm getting the pronunciation right, Peter Petter.
Speaker 11 (30:38):
It's Peter, was right, Christian Petter?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You don't you don't spell Peter like that?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Yes, that's that's like the better.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Comment, is it?
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Maybe it's the English thing.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I'm so sorry, Peter Peter, welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
Thanks for a great way. Christian.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh well, it's been an extraordinary week and many times
I've I've wondered whether it was the right thing to do.
You know, we I came up with the idea a
couple of weeks ago. I wanted just to jump on
air after the great Jones in and just said, you know,
goodbye to you after twenty years, amazing twenty years last week,
and I just thought it be a nice way to
introduce ourselves to you. And of course we flew in
Sunday and then Sydney changed and it was actually a
(31:20):
big I didn't see very on Sunday night. I didn't
realize if it was just going to be too much
while everyone's going through the worst week in Sydney's history,
and then suddenly there's an English guy trying with his
best intention to say hello and introduce his team.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So I really hope it has helped. Actually, Peter, thank
you for saying that.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
Yeah, it's been great having you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh well, we've really really enjoyed it, and I cannot
wait to come back. I think, actually, bizarrely, in this
extraordinary six days i've been here, it's like a deep
dive into really getting to know somebody. You know, sometimes
a stranger can suddenly become a big part of your life.
They go because you bond over something so extreme together,
it brings you closer. I've in six days, I feel
(32:02):
incredibly close to this city. Cannot wait to come back
in January. And yeah, to be with you guys in
the morning. Now, what song can I play you, Peter?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
I would love to hear tub Something by Chamber one Ba.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
What a great song this is. It's a perfect song
of getting back up again as well. Now, Peter, that
is going to be the next song we play on
the show that is going to start the next hour
at eight. Is there anything that you would like to
(32:36):
say ahead of me playing that, just a.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
Massive shout out to the Bondai Lifeguards for their actions
on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, it's incredible. There's so many beautiful images.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Peter, thank you for giving the show ago any lovely
word to have a great, safe Christmas as well, and
I speak to you in the new year.
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Love to hear you from your Christian take care.
Speaker 1 (32:57):

Who's winding up.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Who here the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yes, we're on the show. We had so many calls.
We're rolling over a part too. What are the things
that kids today will never know about? We had some
great calls. Here's some of them.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
I wouldn't know that shops aren't open all the time.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Kid, these says don't know about encyclopedias.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
They would have no idea of the UbD or with
your favorite show, you'd have to wait a week for
the next episode, saving you twenty cent pieces and then
heading down to this spacey arcade.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Picking up a phone receiver and getting tangled up in
the cord and then slamming it down at the end
of an angry phone call.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I miss those days.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I love the fact that the lady that called in
about the encyclopedia sounded so posh, like she was a
lady that still uses Encyclopedia Britannica or sells them door
to door.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's another thing kids that they would ever know about,
people that go door to door l ladies.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Here we also that guy used to come round with
dodgy DVDs and videos pirate ones oh yeah, yeah, which
had actually been filmed in a cinema.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yes, something you'd see.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Someone's head get up and go in front of someone's
great big camcorder.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
You're a cam quarters as well. Now our phone is
a camcorder.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Used to be like the side of a door on
your uncles shoulder, massive an actual tripod.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's incredible. That doesn't feel that long ago.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Some of the other ones that come in black and
white TV and you need to go to go and
change the channels from Lisa going down to local milkbarn
picking out the lollies. Rheo was also big En Carter fan.
He still plays online with friends. Colin was a fellow
nerd like Rio Teresa using a Sylvester switchboard at work
to take phone calls. Can we still buy an old
(36:40):
switchboard like on eBay or something? And then you have
the Chuckle sisters out there in New Year taking calls.
I'm just patching you through to the DJ right now, Jim.
I rewinding video tapes before returning it to the storage
with the days of be kind rewind lining up overnight
to be the first in line for concert tickets. That's on, Chris,
if you got any more, give me a call kids today,
(37:01):
what would they have no idea about call me on
thirteen fifty five to twenty two. You can also message
the show oh four seven five three one oh four three.
A couple more that I remembered yesterday after the show
just how hard it was to record music nowadays, any
song ever made instance, it's on your phone, the world's
biggest music library.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Didn't used to be like that Normally, in the days
of the eighties and cassettes. You'd have your cassette primed
and ready to record, when you just had to wait
there for days and then to when the DJ would
play your favorite song, and then he'd ruin it. Someone
like me would ruin it by talking over the end
of it. That's the BC boys, your fighter running. God
damn idiots.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't want to hear your voice over the end
of my song, and I'm gonna leave your recording.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Then compact is laser technology came along and that got
easier with the clicking and dragging.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
But then they're trying to put people in prison. Yes,
do you remember that.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Metallica is so embarrassed about it they went to lock
up the fans. They just wanted their music their way
On CDs. And then do you remember that the portable
CD players you took it on holiday? Yes, so yeah,
CD warpman and you'd have that wallet of CDs that
you've made your little mixed CDs.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
But just how fragile.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Even though we had anti rolling technology, you had to
move a millimeter to that thing sneeze slightly, and that
it jumped.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
And also I remember the phrase. Kids today would have
no idea but the phrase it's back on, run run,
diving over the back of the couch. You know, you'd
have that four minute and break right to go to
the toilet and go and get your snacks and then
go back on dad, It's back on.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
All right, kids today we'll take your goose next. What
would they have no idea about?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
The Christian O'Connell's show, Go on podcast.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Good morning a sister, Christian O'Connell's show on Gold. It
is a twenty seven John Farnham, you're the voice. We're
playing songs a Cidy today, picked by you guys. Thank
you very much for all the beautiful, powerful songs. Songs
are very familiar to us, but today feel very very different.
I've played this song so many times in my twenty
seven years and breakfast for I've never heard that line.
(39:10):
We're not going to live in fear and it just
land completely different. All right, we're doing kids today? What
would they have no idea about?
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Christian? Who's this from? Yeah? I guess sharks. Who it's from?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Sharks got an Instagram account Shark seventy. Uh, we're going
to Sydney. There are humans called sharks as well. Things
that kids wouldn't get these days, running fingernails down the
chalkboards at school, or cleaning the dusters by whacking them
(39:45):
together to make a large dust plume.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Great phrase there, plume as well.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, we used to have crazy teachers that we'd actually
