Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast Showtime.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
The pickings were a few this week.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
My finger's getting sought fine hack.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Me Christian O'Connell Show, Gold one oh four point three, Show.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
One two and twenty seven Coome Onrning Jack Post, Morning guys,
Good morning, Patsy, Morning boys, Patsy.

Speaker 5 (00:27):
Please tell me that isn't true. What I hear from
the team that Christmas trees already up?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yep, yep. For Griswold mode went up yesterday, very proud.

Speaker 6 (00:35):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (00:36):
November the six six today? Forty nine days? Excuse me,
forty nine days until Christmas?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah? No, no, I build up.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
That is like hiding the Easter eggs in March. Ready,
that's exactly the same.

Speaker 7 (00:50):
Pi.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, no Christmas lights outside Christmas lights. When I'm a
week earlier, I'm going to be organized, so you can
tweak it a little bit each each weekend at a
little bit more. It took ages, though, for the love God,
it's his job to get it out of the garage
and erect the tree. But half the tree was missing
and we couldn't find where it was.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
Obviously, you can't go real one because they drop all
their needles now.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Dead by then, No, we have we have the fake
big seven footer. It's massive roof, it's fantastic.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
The probably up in Parliament Square.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
No, it's brilliant. So he puts it up and then
we do the light lights go first. We have a system.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
So did he find the other or yeah it.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Was in another box somehow we'd stupidly put it in.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
And yeah, that's like everyone at Christmas time.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
This year we must be more organized and after Christmas
like whatever over it.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I see on social media some people are really organized.
There's this thing on Amazon you can get. It's like
a trolley that you'd see in like a mechanic's garage
where he keeps his tools.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
They these shiny trees.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I thought, no, that's too organized, So we've just got
big troughs.

Speaker 8 (01:59):
But it looks yeah, we.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Got the big trough as well, and it's like all
the tinsels. Take it up with the lights. That's next
year's problem.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
And it's all just in one horrible nest. It somehow
works into an even worst thing.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Over the year.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
You don't use it, and then when you get there
at well, it should be December. Traditionally for normal people
and you try and untangle it and then you just
spin it goes skip brainyway.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, there's always the sacrifice of the lights every year.
Yesterday was no different.

Speaker 9 (02:27):
There was.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I went to the front door and there's like this
ball of black string. I said to Chris, what's that?
He said, young lights? Another one bites the dust. Every
year we seem to lose a set and then we
have to go and buy another.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
I reckon ninety nine point nine percent of landfill around
the world's Christmas tree lights. No wait, and the other
one percent is fidget spinners.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
This month is a busy birthday month.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
It's my daughter turns eighteen, my wife's birthday Friday, and
then JP jack post birthday this month as well. What day,
busy old month. Trying to catch me out. I'm not
font it for that one.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
You'll know. You'll know when it's your birthday. Oh you're
going to.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Find out one day jacking by, but I'm not the
man to tell you.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Team.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
When is it Sunday Sday?

Speaker 5 (03:18):
This Sunday is eleventh tenth. Ah.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
The changes every year with the cocks going back.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
You know, I'm a Gregorian Canadar guy.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
That's all because in the.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
UK used to be eleventh and now, as I keep forgetting,
is here happy birthday for this Sunday?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Now, what are you guys all doing Friday night? I'm
I'm trying to look into.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Your eyes, sisterrect this Friday night?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
This is he it's my wife's birthday Friday. Swear having dinner?

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Or are we see? These are all very good alibis
if you've got them. I suspect that is throwing me
some kind of surprise party. I can't prove it, but
I wanted to see if you guys were in on
it or knew about something happening on Friday night.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's a double surprise. It's a surprise.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay, Well maybe you just won't.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, that's the other horrible thing is that we haven't
been invited. We're not part of the inner circle. So
what's spoots you?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well? Over the last week she keeps dropping things like
you go, what what are you doing next Friday? Which
is why why you already care about next?

Speaker 6 (04:18):
If she is playing a surprise fight, real bad way
to go about it.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Would you be surprised if there was.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
A surprise party next Friday.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
She essentially asked that she goes, what what kind of
thing would you like to happen for?

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Your birth is happening there?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
So I said to her, I don't. I don't feel
like anything. I don't need anything. If there's a party
coming now, I don't.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
I don't mind if I'm not invited.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
I just wanted to be filled your reaction, because I
know what you're like. You'll be you won't even hide
the irritation, and then you're quietly sought off to bed.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I would be to be fair to her. Years ago,
she did throw me a surprise party, and it's probably
the most memorable birthday I've ever had because I was
actually surprised. People from all different parts of my life
were there and it was a great night.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
But ever since different parts of your life here are
you ken that wider circle? Different parts of my only
in his thirties, he's got different parts of his life,
all right, Jason Bourne.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
But ever since then, the idea of a surprise, the
idea of a surprise party bokes me more than the
actual event that I had many years ago, And I
don't want right.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Now, his poor wife is listened to this taking stream
of stuff. How you'll get to know him in time.
We'll just take all this down by away.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Thet I don't like a surprise.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I would want you both struck me as people who
will Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Because then you feel like, especially would it be in
your own home. The playlist will start chopping up drinks
like this is a surprise for them.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, that's what I don't like about it. I don't
know any what's been chosen, what's been paid for. If
we got the most efficient price, to.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
My concerners that i'd have to be put to work
at my own part yours you'd have to pay for what?
Are we surprised by the way sending a manager of
a restaurant goes. That's twelve hundred bucks to build for surprise.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
That's honestly. I don't even like to not be if
we're going on holiday or something. I don't like to
be cut out of the process of booking flights because
I always think Bianca just buys whichever one's most most convenient.
I thought, do you know, is there a more economic
way to do this? Did you look at the cheaper flights?

Speaker 6 (06:37):
Is there no?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Can we catch a bus there?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
On any given night out with my wife, I need
to know what the exit plans are. You know, we
know what times the earliest we can leave, even though
we'll never leave there normally. My wife by then just
trying to drag me away. But I need to know
going in, what's what's the time we could leave.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Imagine a surprise party in your own house and then
you're stuck. You are trapped, which didn't stop me on
Newyear's Eve, to be fair, I went to bed where
everybody's still partied out the back.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
What would what if it was at a restaurantor anything,
would that make it easier?

Speaker 6 (07:10):
That would What if it's a chest surprised chest?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I just no surprise is just tell me.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
He loved that.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I wouldn't because my surprise.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
Microsoft team my friends.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Don't know how to do chess, like play chess properly.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
So what if we practicing?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
It would be like the time that you guys came
over for a pokingne and it wasn't really that fun
because it's mostly me explaining how poker's played and no
members that.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Didn't understand it. Yeah, I wonder why we haven't done that.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Again since Christian Connall Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
My Life and I went out for dinner the other night.
When we came back, my wife went into our bedroom
and I heard this scream. She went, oh my god, Chris.
One of the pets has smeared their bum all over
the carpet. And I go in a perfect j, literally
a perfect j. It's unmistakably. It's a brown that fades.

(08:01):
Obviously once the dog had wiped it, the will wipe
into it, and I guess they look around and go lovely.
That was that's really good, better than grass. Actually, what
is this carpet?

Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's like a sky rider. Yeah, it's way more discussing.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
I was just going to come back and add more
letters because it was just a j. And I could
tell it wasn't a German Shepherd of because it was
a narrow ass that done your favorite. It was the
toy poodle, the dog that we got during lockdown that
I do not accept. And so my wife said, I'm
going to have to go and check his glands. Yes, right,
and she said, unless you want to do that, when
I will get on my hands and knees and clear

(08:35):
this up. I'd rather clean the carpet up a dog
poop than have to go and do that. So I
did my bit, and then I went to look for
my wife. That pervert dog I think had done this
on purpose. I'd never seen him looking so happy. Seriously,
I walked in on a scene that looked like it
was a new showber's act of some kind of small
poodle dog and my wife as a ventriloquius act. His

(08:56):
eyes were at the back of his head. Seriously, he
was delighted by what was going on. Means I got
a mirror, my wife said to you exagger I went, okay,
I'm gonna go and get a mirror.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
I took him.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
In the end, I took a photo on the phone
and shown she went, oh my god, took a hand
out of him.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
You now, it's going to be more of this.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
He likes it.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
He likes a little bit too much. He's a little dog.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Perv The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Christian Chatter to Lady the to day.

Speaker 5 (09:30):

Because they get the moment. She goes, nah, that's all right, ah,
fun times all right. Time for Battle of Decades? Were

two thousands. I go on from the nineties, Patsy does
the eighties. We each pick a song. You get to

(09:52):

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Too early, not too ey play Christmas song, but this
is this is a Christmas eve.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Actually not a song about Christmas. It's more about.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Relation, everybody. It's a Christmas video to irritate people at
this time.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, well, and what a video it was.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Brially weeks ago you were moaning about Christmas decoration just
being out with stores and people are playing Christmas songs
is too early?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, not now, it's not once Melbourne cups here, bang,
it's time. But the video clip, the.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Packing the horses away, and then people are cranking out.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
A funny little thing about the about this song and
the film clip. Talking about the video clip, it's the
last time that George Michael apparently was filmed without a beard.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Tell you what he made me?

Speaker 6 (11:27):
Lean in there?

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay, I'm interested, I play and then I hear that
and I just felt like I've about smashed in the face.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Damn it, Mark's brothers prank with a cake in the.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Face or the flower water.

Speaker 11 (11:43):
There?

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Girl, He's just rewinding, like maybe I missed something on this,
maybe more calorific content than I thought.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
But it's too food.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
So it's a lasting video without bed apparently, So.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
But that's not true.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Faith Stubble, Yeah, yeah, Stubble stubborn his.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
Bitch, So it's not the last one.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
It is the last one. Then he went kind of like,
I'm coming around to do this doubble so well.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
Did he really will that number one? Cold?

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Who else where's a good stubble? He was only mount
rushwoll Of stubbled man. Does Chris like to wear a stubble?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
He does over over holidays.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Holidays, wonder, don't know why you're rangers?

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Melbourne cup?

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Do I see shadow?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I don't personally like it now it's a bit scratchy
on my face.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh that's marriage, isn't it. Well?

Speaker 5 (12:44):
You originally loved you, now hate. I hear you, Chris,
I hear you?

Speaker 7 (12:49):
All right?

Speaker 5 (12:50):
What have I got from the nineties? How do we
mend a broken heart? Time time time? You do it
slowly and delicately. This is a big, noisy song. It's
a subtle song. It's the sound of a lock being
picked by an expert locksmith, someone who can pick the
lock of your heart. Let him in, Ronan Keating. Let's

(13:11):
go back to the nineties. Not just a song. The
movie for notting Hill Huey in that park. He didn't
know where he was in his life.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
Oh my god, this is a banger, this movie Hill Love, Actually,
this one notting hills Grave.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
What a song.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
You could honestly be a politician.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
You may have to run.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I may have to run.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
This great song you sold out, you have sold.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Is on the show tomorrow. So that's going to be
a bit awkward when you be bum licking him, you
will and you have him in the news. The Great
Bonan Keating is singing today.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
At Flemington too yesterday kind of fine figure.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
What a song.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I imagine Ronan can do the stubble.

Speaker 12 (14:00):
But.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
I doubt it.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
He's has that hair color.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
It makes for a week stubble. Actually, you know, too light,
too light. You're right, it's fair.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
It's not ginger. It's strawberry blonde. Strawberry blonde, no blonde.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
Rio is having a look at Ronan Keating online right now.
That's part of his job, apparent every day.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'm just googled Ronan Keating stubble and it looks weird.
It doesn't look nice at all.

Speaker 13 (14:32):
What you.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Reckon?

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Just stubble and long hair. Yeah, no.

Speaker 14 (14:39):
It.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Ronan's appeal is the clean shaving guy, isn't he. Yeah,
it's fresh, he's fresh baby face.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Anyway, that's the song that Roan Keating inexpert Irish locksmith.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Jackie boy, what have you got from the two thousands?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
You know, I'm always saying we should play more local
music on that.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
You've never said that unless his friends all.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Wrong let's go for a band right here in rich
went Melbourne. Well they've but they've definitely been through Richmond
in their time tax from two thousand and two, creeping
up slowly?

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Is it just this sort of vibe for it?

Speaker 9 (15:32):
Now?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
I will say this, In the early two thousands Australian
bands love they could not resist the record scratch And
I heard the record scratch even for a pop song.
They couldn't resist the records.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
So tell me what happened then to Taxi? Right this
wonders or no?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
They had a couple of other songs. Yeah, in the
early two thousands in Australia could hardly walk the streets
without pumping into a right.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Perhaps it is just a fact check on this, not
that we should we going to Patsy a ball Peoplebert,
Are you familiar with Taxi?

Speaker 15 (16:03):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Of course? But I haven't heard that song.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
The biggest salm.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Patsy's worked in music.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
A whole life.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
This is the biggest of them. This is a great song.
And if you love this country and you love this city.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Someone else to throw in the ring to run against me.
If you love this country, all right, trump make Melbourne
great again?

Speaker 6 (16:35):
All right? For now?

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Eighties nineties or two thousands to oh fall seven five
o three one o four three the number, then you
just put eighties nineties or two thousands oh fall seven
five three one oh four three eighties.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
If you want insanity, what about this? Let him in?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Oh my god, staganists some horses in the background. Irish
people love horses and buddies. He would be so happy
that maybe paying it.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
And then chance got this local backed.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
He's never He's actually have more energy than any of
the summer.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
On Friday show, we were doing the time Waster and
Rio had a fact about horses that they can never
get lost and we were like, we have no idea
of verifying that and what have you called? In one
or probably the top five most Australian suning men ever,
this guy called Buddy who had this amazing story about

(17:45):
horses and never getting lost.

Speaker 16 (17:47):
I had a friend who was a shape driver back
in the nineteen thirties, picked up a mother's sheep off
a farm and bought a horse off a farmer. They
drove the sheep back to central Victoria and about three
days later the horse got out of the yard and
over a week later it got back to New south
Wold where it comes from. It swam the Murray River.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
True story, mate, swam the Murray River. This this is amazing.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
So today's show then or nine four one four one
o four three. We're asking to call us up with
your amazing animal stories. Rio, you said you've got a
great one for to kick us off here with.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Oh, yeah, I used to have a Mexican walking fish
when I was about ten.

Speaker 8 (18:22):
Rewind sorry what I used to have a Mexican walking fish?

Speaker 6 (18:25):
What's that?

Speaker 8 (18:25):
An axeltel?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Our neighbors had one.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
Describe it to me. I've never heard of it.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
Are you familiar with a salamander?

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Yes, of course.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
It's in the same family, the same genus as the salamander.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
So like a small kind of dragon. Yeah, it's more
I guess.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
More between like eel and the dragon.

Speaker 17 (18:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
It looked really slippery.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
With my memory of when a pet.

Speaker 8 (18:47):
Yes had that as a pen. Wasn't allowed a dog,
but it was allowed a Mexican.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Fish, how lucky you? Or the terra pin.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
So they are quite interesting because they can They normally
live in tanks in water, but they can walk outside
of water for a couple of hours they can survive.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
I mean the name sort of suggests they might be
fond of walking.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
Pretty amazing for a fish.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah, but one day I wonder they've got they've got legs.

Speaker 8 (19:12):
Then here they've got little legs. Yeah, four little legs.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
It looks like it kind of looks like halfway through
a evolution drawing where the fishes water and starts to
walk on.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
So they're not performed, yes, yes, exactly. And one morning
I woke up and he wasn't there. Axi wasn't there.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Ox a couple of hours, I've given up hope, obviously,
because they would have died. And then later that night
I found Axi in a beer bottle in the recycling bin,
so he's gotten out.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
Oh my god, I've got a bender legless.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
He survived just using the beer as his water source
for at least, you know, nine or ten hours.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
They don't have to be correlated, by the way. That's
just right, people go all right, So I'm just trying
to think if I've got any booze related animals.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
How did you take.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
The Christian Connell Show podcast?

Speaker 5 (20:09):

that bench press. So you, Ranger Town, put a lot more.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Plates on the go.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Keep all right, amazing animal stories. Now you've got something
amazing that you dog Luna did.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
She once ate a whole cake and hid the evidence.
So we woke up in the morning after you just.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Said the last story.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
It was a dog putting its owner our body of
water by an index finger. Yeah, anything, This isn't amazing.
It's like that's on Brandy.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Isn't the amazing part that she thought to hide the evidence?

Speaker 6 (24:24):
No, she just ate it all.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, it was on a plate. He was on a
plate and she ate the whole part. She pushed the
plate under the dishwasher when she was done. So we
woke up and when we looked, it wasn't even like
we could see the evidence the cake had been eaten.
It just disappeared.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
But that's her just nosing its dogs.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Do get a bit more, yes, Diane, good morning him,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 18 (24:50):
Oh, I've got an excell little story as well. I
got my first tex a lot of one. It was
just just a tad just before we were about to shift,
and we didn't know what to do with him.

Speaker 19 (25:04):
We was in the tank.

Speaker 18 (25:04):
And we thought, okay, we've got some goldfish as well
that we're in another tank.

Speaker 19 (25:08):
So when we moved, we had.

Speaker 18 (25:11):
A kid's waiting pool. So we put the whole lot
in the in the waiting pool like the ax lot
or and the goldfish. Unberknowns to us. You don't do
that because the fish will actually eat the little friller
around the top of the axl lott and their legs well, the.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Goldfish will just go for their legs only that is cool.

Speaker 18 (25:30):
But they grow back. They were amazing animals. Anyway, What
had happened was we still hadn't called him anything, didn't
have a name for him. So when that happened, we
end up calling him Neil.

Speaker 19 (25:48):
Legs.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
But they did grow back.

Speaker 12 (25:51):
It is it is a.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Lot with a lot from this cool. You do not
put goldfish and an a lot al together.

Speaker 18 (25:58):
No, no, no, lessen learn ye.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
Thank you very much, your story mate.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Thanks you have a good day.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Bye waiting pol.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
No waiting pool like a kid.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Yeah, you know, we go passing it.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, they put the kids in there.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Make good morning, Good night, Chris.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
I'm good Matt, Welcome to the show. So you got
a story about an amazing animal.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
It was a horse.

Speaker 20 (26:23):
So you were saying, our horses always returned the home,
can't get lost. No, that's right. So I was going
to under grad Ation ride working one day in the
track delivering mate and got the under Grade Action ride
and there's a horse running along the road with just
a saddle on, no rider. So I thought this isn't right.
Looked behind me and there was a Mike beyond me.

Speaker 14 (26:41):
He was a builder.

Speaker 20 (26:42):
So we've pulled over and hannahd the horse in or
paddock and tied it up, called the police. The police
came sort of had a bit of a look around.
We kept the horse in the paddic and then I said,
I'll give you my numberright to capeon gall because I
was working, and I said, give me a ring, let
me know how you went. And he wrung me later
on that I and told me that they found the
lady who'd fallen off the horse on some rocks then

(27:03):
on the beach, and she cracked her head on the
thing out on the on the rocks and they had
to call name it ambulance because I couldn't get her
in torn and because I couldn't move her. Sorry, And
I got her just in torn before the tide coming.
Otherwise she would have passed away. And her husband wrung

(27:24):
me a couple of bed of wake later and said
she was doing well across the horse.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
God, what a story.

Speaker 20 (27:31):
Yeah, I just brought my house and he sent me
up a bottle of the water and a thank you car.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Oh what a lovely thing to do, Matt, thank you
very much your story now.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I was tagging Christian O'Connell show podcast Friday afternoon.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
I took my twenty year old toughs to have three
lesser three wisdom teeth taken out under a general anesthetics.
So had to go to list little hospital and I
got a couple of minutes before her, and I actually
thought I.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
Knew she was nervous. Is she actually coming?

Speaker 5 (28:04):
She's twenty now, I mean, I can't just pick her
up anymore. You know, when your kids are like four
or five, you can just pick them up and take
them where they need to go, right, It's okay. Suddenly
trying to pick up a twenty year old doesn't want
to go to the dentist.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
I'm getting arrested in that story. It's not a good
look for dad.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
So I'm like, I, you yourself have not terrified.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
So perhaps if you had all your wisdom Teethel.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah I have. When I was about year eight, Yeah,
it's agony. Yeah, that's awful. It was like forty degree
weather and hous.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
He was you outside? Did he?

Speaker 5 (28:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It was we didn't have air conditioning at home at
the time. It was vile. And my mom.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
You never done at home, did you at the kitchen table?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
But the recovery country well, and my mother insisted that
I had it done over school holidays, any.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
School, so you'll get this. And because we've all.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Had ours out it hurts, right, I remember it is
so obviously I can't.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
It doesn't.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
Sometimes the truth gets away. So she was like, is
it going to be really sore afterwards?

Speaker 6 (29:10):
And I was like, it's not as bad as people say.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
I'm lying, of course, because actually, if I just say,
oh my god, it's unbelievable. Painkillers they don't even do
anywhere near enough. She doesn't need to know that. She
finds out, So I'm like, it's not as bad.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
As the saying.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
She says, oh my beause some my sister keeps messaging
me Lowis who had it done early this year and
knows the truth.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
She was like, she said it was bad, and.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Went, she has a very low pain threshold, but you
got to just smoothing your hand.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
It wasts the air that way, and she's flinching, you know,
So I wouldn't. I would ignore a lot of that,
you know.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
I think she's just winding you. I'm like, sisters, do
that is? If anything? It's I said, And then I
tried to sell the general.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Anesthetic, and I went, but tell you what we do get.
I'm jealous a general anesthetic. You have one of those.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Big old trippy sleeps right now. Oh my god, you're
going to go time traveling. I wish there had some
leftover for dad out there, and they're waiting for the
next couple of hours. Anyway, I started to fill her
format because she's late, and they go, oh, no, this
person is an adult. You can't fill out her form.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
I forgot.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
I keep forgetting. I have a twenty old. You can't
fill out their forms anymore. You are a guardian. But
it's actually they fill out their own forms now at twenty.
So anyway, she goes to have the procedure. So I'm
waiting for like an hour and a half and ago
you can come and see her now. And I got
to see her, and she's been she's been crying. She's
quite old pain and it still breaks your heart when you
seem a little bit of pain. And they go, hey,
it's right now, it's hard pass for it's Friday.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Dad's here. She goes. I thought i'd be happy, but
I'm just, ah, it's okay.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
You know, you've been sleeping some people while you were asleep.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
They ripped three teeth that year. It's a lot to
take in, to be really honest.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
But anyway, as she was sort of coming around of
the next hour or two when I'm waiting with her,
where she sort of just has a little bit too
drink and stuff like that because she had to fast
for the day, we started talking about wisdom teeth, right,
and if she goes to me, what even our wisdom teeth?

Speaker 6 (30:58):
I went, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
I think think when your babies they're like high up
in the skull and then when the time's right, they
start dropping down, descending like there's slowly parachuting through your
face and then suddenly they're in the jaw already like hey,
we're here.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
But no one knows why why don't they join the
rest of the teeth on that journey that we had
at seven years old?

Speaker 2 (31:17):
And they don't. Not everyone's because has got to get
she's got to get braces. And the dentist said, it
depends if those we could see.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
On this she's getting visilone.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, yeah, hopefully mama needs a third.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Luckily that I mean, braces have moved on from those
poor train tracks track. There's ones now you can't even
see that.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
They're like a plate. They're amazing. But hers, her wisdom
is sort of like waiting, waiting, sort of at the
side of the stage, and they're not coming down.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
In the dentist, that's what we're doing, hiding in the game.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
They may not necessarily come down. She's said, Is that right?
Not everyone has that.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
This is how that I remember the dentisty what my wisdom.
Teeth were doing. The rest of the teeth dropped down
like parachuting. Some teeth were facing out the same way
your eyes face out. They were pushing against the other teeth,
and that's why they had to come out, because eventually
they were going to mangle up all the other teeth
in my mouth.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
When we're born, we have the milk teeth, right, and
those are shed like a snake's sheds its skin, right,
and then the proper sort of adult teeth are behind them.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
So are we making teeth?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I know the rest of the teeth are up there.
If you want to look at one of the most
horrifying images, you can google what a baby's skull would
look like, and it's getting four rows of teeth.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
It's so the babies, they come with teeth.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
They come with they come with the adult teeth.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
I'm not sure about the They must be like a
smaller size the sea dragons.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
The baby ones are smaller, and then the adult ones
are in there, like between the nose and the mouth.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
You're the eyes, not that storage you know, still shoved
into the bat there that can overhead locker.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
But the wisd and teeth are a different story. I'm
not sure if they're in that second set or if
you make Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
All right, so what do you think The Christian O'Connell
show podcast.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
Wisdom Teeth jackrickins he's seen a photo of a baby's skull,
and there's all our teeth are in there.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
Now. Worry they're crying all the time.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
You all the teeth you're ever gonna need pre loaded
on Christian I'm in a very small percentage of people
who don't get or have wisdom teeth. That comes from
Susan Christian. When I had my wisdom's out, I love
that phrase. The bottom two were sideways, so I had
to have the two teeth next to them on either

(33:35):
side removed as well.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
It's like a rennolt in your mouth.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
My teeth was so strong that to snap them, no, do.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
Theyn clear up the snap root?

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Oh lord, yeah, Chris, I think you are This is
the kind of logic we have on this show. I
think you are born with all your teeth. My son
had to have his wisdom teeth cut out of his
jaw at the age of eight.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
That's pre wisdom.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
Always a boy king, he's a future leader, incredibly wise.
Your man could be the new incarnate of Buddha that
we don't know. Put those wisdom teeth back in his skull.
We have Angus on the line here, Angus man, how
you going? I'm good Angers so what do you know?
Do you think that we were born with wisdom teeth
and all of our teeth?

Speaker 21 (34:24):
Yes, I'm not sure.

Speaker 22 (34:25):
I learned this when I was quite young. But the
thing is, we evolved to have smaller jaws over the time,
because when we were back in you caveman times, we
had bigger jaws, and we also used to have to
grind up our vegetation in our food or what marks
we couldn't cook it. So the reason we had them
was because our jaws were bigger, but we needed that
extra set of teeth back there and that would help

(34:46):
us digest our food before it actually hit our stomach,
so we could you know, it could go through as easier.
But as we've evolved to cook our food and our
jaws have gotten smaller over the thousands of years, there's
no room for him.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
Now do you know what this is? Logic? I love
this and how do you how do you know this? Angus?

Speaker 5 (35:03):
You're not a dentist, No, no, not at all.

Speaker 22 (35:07):
I just I like learning stuff. I have surface level
knowledge on a on a lot of subject.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
There's a lot to be said for that, my friend,
that you can get you very far.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
And I've actually been banned by Bianca for evoking that
Caveman argument for anything, because I'll say, you know, we
didn't have air conditioning, we didn't have paying She stopped
talking about the.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Now, my daughter was in recovery from the jener and
aesthetic for having three wisdom teeth. Out Friday evening they
came for an icy pole.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Oh that's so cut, such a lovely little thing.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
She was so happy. It was like she was ten again.
She's twenty, but she was there and she was still
in pain, obviously a bit woozy from the outset, but
she was so happy. And so I had to go
in there and chat to with the ward sister just
about you know, when when she's gonna be discharged, we
can what is that? And then I'm ashamed to say,
also said she like it oother icy pole, and the
lady must have realized I was like, and she went.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
Does she is this for you? If it's not going
to plete deplete stops? It is for me?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Said, okay, you're gonna help the next poor kid had
to go with the show.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
It's like lemonade or Cola colon.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
And the two of us producers sharing an icy pole
together in a little recovery room at the hospital. It's
a joye dad daughter bonding moment. All right, what are
the odds? We do this every Wednesday on the show.
Your stories of coincidence and chance, believe.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
It or not, one of the odds.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
You gotta be justhing me, like were you with Cheryl
who married a Hun.

Speaker 6 (36:45):

Speaker 12 (36:46):

Speaker 5 (36:52):
The lines are I've been now nine four one four
one o four three, your stories of coincidence and chants
some great ones last week. Yes you will hear again
that now clipper moment.

Speaker 17 (37:03):
At the age of eight, I found a Culton's jacket
whilst working with my parents. It was a men's extra large.
It didn't fit me, so I gave it to one
of her workers. At the age of twenty three, working
behind a bar, talking to a man in a colt
blue jacket, and it turned out it was him. He
went home, got the jacket and gave him back to me.

Speaker 19 (37:19):
My three and a half year old son at the
moment is really into eight his music. So a couple
of weeks girl, I was driving him to daycare and
I said it's time to take him inside. He said, no,
I want to listen to the Power of Love by
shul Lewis and the News fig my phone. That song
was playing on the radio.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
We were away on holidays.

Speaker 18 (37:35):
Just laid him by the pool and my partner asked
me if I happened to pack now clippers and I said, oh, no,
I didn't.

Speaker 12 (37:41):
He walked over to one of.

Speaker 18 (37:42):
The ledges that was near the pool that overhooked a
bar and there's a pair of now clippers.

Speaker 12 (37:47):
He asked for it and it came.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
I'm really disappointed they didn't put echo on that huge
payoff now ledge because it changes everything everything you thought
about life and the green Miss I've got a what
are the odds actually related to Claire and her amazing
story about the nail clippers? Christian? One of the odds

(38:09):
After last Wednesday show, I went for a walk on

That you played that song, I was watching the Chase
on Channel seven. Larry Emder asked and contestant a question
regarding the Verve and Bittersweet Symphony, which the band collected
the royalties? Yeah, this we played this last week.

bus drove off, We're sitting at the front of the

(42:59):
Aussie Homeland shop.

talk to more on the show about miss sayings. My
MAM's catched up with my mummy yesterday back in the
UK and my mama has always got the saying nip
it in the bud Confused. She still says nip it
in the butt, which has a very different thing. You're
trying to nip if it's in the butt, and you

(56:42):
know we you correct somebody and you go, I'm still
doing this like many many years later to my mum. No,
it doesn't make any sense to be nipp it in
the butt? Was nippit in the butd? You know when
it's when it's young and you catch it early on
Mummy she's anyway, whatever it is. And he's still talking
about hipping things in the butt, which I kind of
find myself saying now. It's like, maybe it's a nice
cue to what it's saying it nipping it in the butt.

(57:04):
So your Miss Sayings is what we want to talk about.
On tomorrow's show.
