Did everyone get their democracy sausage?

Speaker 4 (00:15):

Speaker 5 (00:16):
I did?

Speaker 6 (00:17):
We missed out as well.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
There were no snags notes?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Oh no, And this is your first time voting in Australia.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I tell you what right? Coming in cold quite the
system you have here?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
What's wrong with the system.

Speaker 6 (00:29):
There's a lot wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That I had to watch videos. I had to speak
to my.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Kids eighteen and twenty one to tell us how do
you vote in Australia?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
That there's two slips?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
What do you mean there's two slips of the house
of this house? Were we in Game of Thrones?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
That big white slip that you have.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Some eight thing with all these parties?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Then why it's like and then if you want to
go above the line and blow how do.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
You all know this?

Speaker 6 (00:56):
You didn't do below the line? Did you?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I don't know what I did get this?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
So so my wife and I that were a wide eyed,
we were like staggering there going out. We have that
first time voting then like yeah, whatever, yeah, and then
they let us sit at a table in the middle
of this sort of sports hall. Were in at the school,
opposite each other swapping notes while everyone else just wandered
around looking.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Over our shoulders. You could do that and we were like,
what what number you putting down?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
That? Well? We did not that there were a couple
of old people that were looking over my shoulder and
you can't hide it because it's eight foot bit of
paper there all those.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Parties, you're like a slow kid getting extra time in there.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
God, it was so intimidating.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Then there's the blessed them that I take it there
volunteers that work so hard for Do they live there
in those facilities? No one does that job is under
the age of seventy seven.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I thought, volunteers.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Now, why is it.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Only the domain of the old people that do? Are
we thinking they're trust worthy? They're the gatekeepers of democracy.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Maybe you had to work in the first election or
something to be eligible.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
And it is that.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Where did they get cardboard voting where there's no secrecy
you could just like chat or to spy on the
person next to you.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
We have to go into a thing where you close
a current behind you.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
In the UK really, oh yes, dignity is preserved it's
like going into a changing room, but are you.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Really trying to cheat off the person next to you?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, their vote is the kind of because I was
like at one point I sat was looking at my
phone to my daughter said how are we going to
vote as a family? Then then he went, you aren't
really supposed to be using your phone. I went, then
I could be here another hour, I could be I
could be.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Here till midnight. This is so complicated.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
It's so bad.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
You know, even we started voting at eighteen, we still
do it the same way and we use a grayllad
pencil for goodness.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Sake, ye pencil as well. Yes, it's crazy.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
Why don't we have electronic voting already? Can't we just
get in with the modern days? And like what does
America do?

Speaker 6 (03:03):
I think they have they fix it?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Well, they had the electronic machines and that.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Was what.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeh dodgy.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yes, yeah, it's still I have to say this. My
wife and I it was a buzz of huge ex
something every weekend getting to have our first vote here.
And I tell you what a straining good at right
that it's compulsory. It's not in the UK and you
get increasing lower and lower at turnout kids aren't engaged
at all, so they've just given up their political words.
Both my daughters knew what they knew, the names of
all the candidates, what their policies were. They're so engaged

(03:34):
because it's their world that they're growing into.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
That there's very few things while there is nothing else where,
every single person in the country is participating on the
same thing at the same time.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
What about all the party hecklers you have outside in
there like that?

Speaker 6 (03:46):
It's pretty much children's TV.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's not children's TV show.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Those colored tops are like the Wiggles, and if you
walk down there and they letter you, just they jump out.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
That's why it's such a shame you didn't get the sausage,
because I feel like the sausage is the reward running
the gaunt let them do to actually.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Find they let me just take my dock ins.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Everybody gets a vote.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
My other big question from the election of the weekend
is how did trumpet patriots get all of our phone numbers?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
No, seriously, how did they get every one of our
phone numbers?

Speaker 6 (04:24):
I feel like the only person who wasn't getting this nonundated.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh my god, I don't know if you could, Christian.
I couldn't even like delete them or block them.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
You know, normally can go to delete and then also
gives you another option board delete reports it.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
You can't, Clive won't not you?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
So are you getting him right up until Saturday morning?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (04:42):
Like three four five a day.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
How did they get all of our phone numbers?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
No?

Speaker 7 (04:46):
But you know it wasn't illegal because they weren't subject
to the.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Blackout, the twenty four hour blackout.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
There's like a loophole that they can actually just keep sending.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Them because it wasn't getting any messages from any other parties.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, no, correct, I think on Sunday night, though he
apologized for so many texts.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's too late.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Millions look huge. So perhaps you tell me this, then
we go and vote. Then they get the slips, and
then who counts them? Do they count them out that
voting area? Other people at the back actually count them
as they go along.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I still do.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's the same people in the vests that were ticking
us off the book.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
No, they take it to like a warehouse, so there'll
be allotted sort of locations around the country, sort of
counting centers and it's just like rows and rows of
tables and just volunteers just counting.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
How do they do it in batches of what?

Speaker 6 (05:45):
I actually don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
You're interested because obviously huge millions of people they show
on AB so important.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
They showed some coverage of the back rooms where they're counting,
and at one point they said, we've got cameras in
ninety different counting booths. That is overkilled.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
TV these days, so it's just shrinking. It's got ninety cameras.
What are you using them for when it's not every three?
Are they borrowing it from people?

Speaker 7 (06:13):
We've got, like, you know, cardboard booths, but we've got
ninety high tech cameramras.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yes, yeah, And where where do those booths go? Obviously
when you go back to my care or wherever they
came from. Where do they get put away from our series?
I'm fascinated by.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
All the people doing the counter though, so are those
around the country, because obviously it is so important. They're
the frontline of it. Are they government officials? Are they
all civil servants? Could you or a volunteer?

Speaker 7 (06:40):
You can volunteer because my brother and sister in law
did it. Maybe a couple of federal elections ago for
the Australian Electoral Commission. You can not all volunteers. You can,
like they take in a certain intake before each election.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Is it'd be thousands and.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's really good money. Are they're not allowed to go
home until every vote is counted.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
This and actually the other games on. Now I'm going
to go. It's a closet.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
It doesn't matter huge, My god, it's a closet. I
love democracy, but I really care about the foot tea.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
Is that like a jury system where if you're serving
on a jury panel, you can't go home until there's.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Surely they're allowed to go home?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because you know what that could people do it like
nodding off sixty?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh god, I have to start again, go and bring
all those thousands one two.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Because the close seats they keep counting for up to
a week.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
There's still probably somewhere now counting. Now it's the same
group of people and they're not allowed to go home.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
They just they just forced feed them.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Red Bull Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
To Patsy for someone like you a journalist Saturday Night.
That must be so exciting.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Well yeah it was, but I mean it was so
obvious very early on there.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
And were you expecting them because obviously all the polls
and this happens all around the world these days, so
people say one thing to the Polsters and then suddenly
the opposite.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
Opposite happens. Well, all roads were pointing to a Labor win,
So no, it wasn't surprising, but the how much they
won was like it was phenomenous.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was brutal.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Can you tell me this, pertsy, Do you know of
an oppositional leader actually losing their seat in a general election?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
That must be so rare.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
I think it is the worst result for the Coalition
in nearly its one hundred year history, so not since
I believe World War Two I might stand corrected.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
Have they had such a poor result? So he lost
his seat if.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Dixon Peter Dutton has held that for nearly a quarter
of a century, so they'll be rallying the troops for
a new leader this week.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
But it was just it was a whitewash so quick.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, it slide win because often you're watching it for
hours and it's so tight and they're still counting.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Trip into the next day, into the next week. Half
time at the foot it was obvious.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
And which channel do you watch, Patsy? You a B
C or can't stomach that?

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Watch channel nine?

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Do you really do it?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Everybody? I thought two work on AB secrets.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I can all try to DNA being exposed to that
kind of communist propaganda.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
I thought everybody watched not everyone.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Watches the A. Now it were speculating about how that
she count all the votes and all these people around
the country that are doing this important work. Patsy positive
the theory. There's secret warehouses. I mean there must be
a lot of these secret warehouses. Do you go to
a website secret warehouse dot com? Do get in trouble?

(09:43):
Now Cheryl has worked in one of these secret warehouses.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Good morning, Cheryl.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Hi, how are you?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm good. So we've got so.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Many questions, and thank you very much for calling in.
So you've done, you've you've you've been counting votes over
the weekend or on the past.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yes, I have. I've done about seven elections now, so
done the state and the federal elections. Plus I did
the referendum as well.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Wow, So can you explain to everyone listening on us
right now how does it work? Then we can'st the
vote and then what happens next.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, so what happens is everyone comes in to do
their voting, so they're either going to go vote and
get their names mapped off on the list and they're
give them their papers. My duty was actually the declaration officer,
so I'm the one that actually you come to me
when you're voting outside of your electorate, So if you're
not voting within your area or you're coming from a
different suburb and you're not on the book there, so

(10:30):
you come to me.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
And then one was once our vote is sort of done,
who counts them? They count there or Patsy's story about
these secret warehouses, We count them.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yea.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
So each each voting center that you go to or
do their own count and then it goes off to
a warehouse and then it gets counted again.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh so there's two people. There's two people are counting
each vote.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, yeah, right, I guess that's good for consistency, so
you don't have people cheating.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Yes, yeah, So all the people, well, we had about
a or nine people at our center working, so every
person that's there, you're there from the start of the
day to the very end of the day until the
end of the count and every single person is helping.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh wow, that is a long day because most of
them open at what eight am on a Saturday.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
We start at seven because we've got to be there
before theut the doors open to get set up, so
we're there from seven o'clock and we finished at ten
o'clock class on a Saturday night, but we were rostered
on to work to eleven.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And what is it is it a mixture of volunteers
and people who are actually paid.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You're actually paid, So you actually go on to either
the Australian maatual website or the Victorian one, depending on
whether you're doing the state or federal, and you actually
choose to work and then you can actually choose a
role as well, so if you've already been in the past,
you can do one of the higher duties. Otherwise you
can just be one of the basic people.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
And tell me this. Do you enjoy it? It must
be so exciting.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Oh it's very different because I actually work at childcare normally,
so it's a totally different role to write childcare duties.
But yeah, I totally enjoy it. So I started off
the very first time of just doing the count seek,
but since then it worked the whole day.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Brent, Well, thank you very much for you and your
colleagues and teammates all do as well.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Ll thanks you giving us a call. Have a good day.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Okay, thanks too. Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Fat So all of your daughters. You're getting ready for
a school camp.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yep, you're a camp.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
They're off on Wednesday, going hiking for three days, which
will be interesting.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now, why this, timmy, you?

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I know, actually it's it's very mild at the moment,
but it normally this is winter time.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
I know they do this every time. I said that
to the love God, I said, why can't they go
in the summer. It would be so Jesus easier packing
them off, But no, they have to go when it's gone.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Well, what the weather like this week is? Today is
the summer's dayad over the weekend.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
It's closing in though. We're going to get a cold
front on all days of Wednesday when she leaves and rains.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
Not typical.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
So we're busy packing up and of course they've got
to it's like a total self sufficiency camp. They've got
to cook for themselves the whole and so you've got.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
To that's quite a lot.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
That's stid, real lot.

Speaker 7 (13:04):
So it's our whole kitchen table is covered with canned food,
which kind of feels like rubbing a cat's fur up
the wrong way, because I don't like giving her canned food.
But there's no like that's what you do, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
You can't have perish.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I know it looks so old timing doesn't like hand
in your kids canned food, like we're back in the wall, yes,
you know, and they look at it like, what's this,
that's dinner.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
I don't think she's ever had anything, so she's got to.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
With They're also heavy. She tried that putting it on
the back, because my daughters really do this. So like
these little turtles, they can bear it up, walk down
the corridor.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
They going to do a couple of days like marching.
I know.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
So we've said to her, you know, she's pretty good, though,
let's like minimize packing. Just take the bear minimum, especially
your toilet trees. We're not taking five million.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
I would say that's the essential sort of toilet trees,
toothbr some of those cans or something.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
But I forget what I was going to say you
tried these dehydrated meals.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's what the army is.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
That's going to be way lighter than a candle fruit.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Were dugging around the coals in her back.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Where do I get those?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
I don't know, I actually don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
And a conda?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Do you can you get food and a conda?

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, because the people coming on these hiking expeditions with
all the nutrients and then as you boil them in water,
it gets bigger again.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Ah right, okay, Well she wasn't really impressed.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
With your like eighteens in our backpack. Parents not read
the email, or he's just still just leave the school
playground and d four on the biggest trick.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
Beansum, maybe back She's glad to be cooking for herself.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Get some spam yuk.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
The last cat was terrible.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
They served them up Mexican and she said, Mum, it
looked like cat vomit.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
And she threw it into a bush because she just
couldn't eat it. She just couldn't.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
She excited about it.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
She looking forward, She really is, yeah, because they buddy up,
you know, with their estimation and it's all about the social.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Side of it, and are they confiscating their phones.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Oh yeah, absolutely no phones, absolutely no.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
There's always one or two kids though that smuggled them in.
I remember the girls. It was so strict. One boy
got found with his phone. They sent him home. Yeah,
I not any punishment, but to luxury for you.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Oh, vegetables.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Maybe ask Rio to clarify, Keith, good good throwback.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Next Wednesday's next. Otherwise it be tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
This Tuesday would say that, I say tomorrow night. Yes, yeah,
I wouldn't say this Tuesday. It would be strange. Next
Tuesday is clear. It's not this Tuesday because I would
say this Tuesday. It's next Tuesday. Keith, stop trying to
confuse everybody.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Right now, week again, Next Tuesday makes sense.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Now, don't let Keith just get in the way of this, everybody.
It's a very simple proposition.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Keith.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Okay, now you've spotted someone who has a superpower over
the weekend.

Speaker 8 (21:49):
Yes, when we went to vote the old kind of
crusty old.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, no, no, I can't say stuff like that. These
are mature elders of the community.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yes, other people listening to crusty old people are.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Doing describing a person. I thought you were saying the
system of using the book. Were you actually describing a.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Person human being as crusty.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Old, so disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
You don't go away crusties to them key persons democracy.

Speaker 8 (22:19):
He's not crusty because he's old. He's just had a
crusty energy about.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
There is no way you can use that word in
a positive life.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Unacceptable old and not crusty.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Anyway, don't look at me is.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Actually I won't say.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
If you had to pick out a crusty one.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's a crustacean pats.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
Anyway, we're getting to the point.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
There was a dignified elderly gentleman community elder. The elder
working at the Riff Primary School where I went to vote.
And when I you know, they've got that big sort
of like yellow pages of the electoral roles, hundreds and
hundreds of phone book like a phone. I said my name,
I said ridden.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
He turned to it, Oh my, and he could see
the crust in his eyes was everywhere, like a human crosshole.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
And there's a lot of lees as well. Straight.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yes, that is incredible.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
That's amazing. He didn't even look up. He spent my
first radio incredible skill.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
Yeah, that's funny because when the love God went to vote.
There is another Christopher John Newman in where.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
There's only one not well us and run the other
one out of town.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's another Christo exactly Are you sure he just isn't
reached to twice?

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Well, that's what I said. I said, did you double
check the address? They haven't put you twice?

Speaker 4 (23:50):
It feels like something you do. They can vote for
trumpets twice.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
We did not.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Votes.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
John, I tell you next Tuesday is next Tuesday?

Speaker 6 (24:06):
I said, did you check? And he said, yes, I did,
and it's a different address. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Likely story.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, anyway, what we're trying to talk about was what
is your work superpower, Patsy?

Speaker 2 (24:16):

The Marvel Studios? We got a new superhero.

Speaker 6 (24:34):

air where I was good at like a clearvoyant naming people.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Jack and I.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Talked about it last week and I said it could
be as bad as that time we let Patsy have
half an hour show to name pets and it was

Speaker 2 (25:53):
I wouldn't say that's a superpower.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's like I got eighteen kids. How does she take
an interest in people she works with? She must be
some kind of freaking superpower. I guess, Perhatsy, when is

clock You can ask me many time during the day
what the time is, and it's unhearingly accurate.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
My wife does it a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
She goes time and it's never I think it's about
eleven issh, it's always already specific, like it's eleven twenty
five and it's about four or five minute variation.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
That's a good one, is it?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Well, twenty seven years of doing this job, the only
thing I can do is is randomly tally the time
and also song intros.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
In an era where we get the time from anywhere,
from our phones, for our watchers, from cars, it's very rare.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Don't you strip it away from me. You've taken her
birth ability.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
But like in the eighteen hundreds and before, you would
have been a very popular amount that.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
But that crusty old guy you rea about the weekend?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
I can tell a caller is going to be an
interesting story or not within the first three seconds.

Motivation the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:42):

we ask for your stories across the week anything to
do with that country. This week, our country of the
week is USA. America America. Anytime you're on this week,
you've got a story about America, and you give us
a call thirteen fifty five twenty two. If I'm not

(29:03):
here when you feel like calling, email me for sure,
Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au. But you Si,
Rio has got three facts about America. Three billion pieces
are sold annually in the USA. Three billion lollipops were
invented in the USA. And this is not a killer fact.
Mount Rushmore took fourteen years to calm, wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
It, Jackie Boy? What have you asked?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Chat gpt? What great facts has chat GPT got about America?

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Chatt chat GPT has got you this one. Rio, There's
a town that elected a dog as mayor multiple times.
What the US government has a one point four billion
pound cheese stockpile. Tell us more about the dog mayor
of the dog mayor rabbit Hash, Kentucky. That's the name
of the town. Has a canine mayor since nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You are kidding, Karen Mare is.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
French bulldog named Wilberbeast.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
What did he run on and how did he get in?

Speaker 4 (30:04):
I don't know, but he got thirteen thousand votes, which
was enough to secure him the position.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Great facts.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
The cheese they keep in Missouri underground in underground caves
in Missouri as a dairy subsidy subsidy subsidy program. This
is not a good fact. And you can eagerly own
a Suddenly.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
The amount rushmore carving is going right, so that's top
in their power rankings.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
This one is interesting. You can legally own a flamethrower
in forty eight of the Americans.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Oh that country.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
That country, no one has any business having a flamethrow
at home. What business a you're needing or ever acquiring
a flamethrow. My wife is a real hoardering Yesterday, I
was like, we need to throw some stuff out, right,
you know what, Sunday you felt like, it's a day
of life. We're going to tie you on, throw some
stuff out. I found that we had a brand new
mink condition pair of crutches. I went, I don't know
how we own these, I said, these have to go.

(30:54):
She goes, no, no, we need them just in case.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
What what do you know is going to happen?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I slept one eye open, Patsy, if you've got a
story about you as.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
A Yeah, we went to America and went to Universal
Studios on the tour and then at the end, you know,
you get back on the bus and we were staying
in downtown LA. It's about an hour's drive. It's quite
a ways out Universal Studios. Anyway, this driver, this dear
lady we had, it was her first day.

Speaker 6 (31:21):
In the on the job, and very clearly was lost.
So it should have taken an hour. Three hours later
we are still driving round and round.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
Anyway, we had dinner, a dinner booking at this restaurant
we really really wanted to go to. It was nighttime,
we'd missed the dinner's dinner booking, and we were clearly lost.
And there's the you know, welcome to Beverly Hills side.
We kept passing it like every twenty minutes and it'd
be on one side of the bus.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
He stuck for a day on that round of out,
just like.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
A game of speed. It was ridiculous. Anyway. Christis Lennard
over and he said, would you mind, you can pull over.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
I think I know how to get back to where
we're staying. And she goes, oh no, and he goes, no, seriously,
it's okay.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
He wanted to drive the bus.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Yeah, so he said, I know where the hotel is. Like,
this is ridiculous. We're just going to keep.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
Driving around and around and around. Anyway, So she pulled
over and he drove our little minibus.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
That's so funny.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
It was so funny, and everyone was so he.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Said he to make your way around either.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
He's so confusing, You're like the back of our hand.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
It was ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
What happened to the step in between, which is just
tell her the way. If he knows where to go,
just tell her where to go. Listening.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
She wasn't listening. It was a bit of an intervention,
and he said, serious, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
We're going to be here all night. It's okay, pull
over and I'm going to drive us there.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
So that is just a crazy, crazy pace.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
And then we years ago, I took the radio show
there and we did three shows there. It's like the
early two thousands, and whenever I'm in a new city,
I just like to go for a walk around it
for a couple of hours, a great way to discover it.
Turns out you do not do that in La Suddenly
I'm somewhere a long way from where we were staying
on Sunset Strip. Next time, though, the police have pulled
over and they asked me what I'm up to, and

(33:17):
I said, I've just you know, I've just arrived. I'm
just going for a walk. When you don't wander around
this neighborhood. They put me in the back of the cart.
They check me back to my hotel for my own safety.
They said it is not safe. You'd just be wandering.
And they'd had a complaint where someone said there was
a suspicious man wandering around the neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
There should be one walking on the floe past.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Checking out the houses.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
A Christian O'Connell show Gone podcast.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
This week's country of the Week is America. Any Stories
about You and America thirteen fifty five twenty two. You're
always going to have an amazing story with you in
New York.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
It's always going to be a special place for me
because I met my wife in New York City.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Do you know the story passed it it's such as
a story.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
It was after filming an episode of Hamer she and
Andy's Gap Year. We were in New York for six months,
and I.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Didn't know you were that a whole year you were
living that. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
This is when I used to have a lot, I
way too much money.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I think when I first met you was when you
were in London and you guys were just like living there,
and I remember.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Thinking there mus being so much money in Austrange.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
It was ridiculous. They sent a whole TV crew of
us over to New York for six months. Then by
the time we were doing Gap Year Asia and South America,
They're like, nah, go over for two weeks as much
as you can, then you come back over here. But
the first one, it was it was a ridiculous experience
and came as just a viewer. She was sitting in
the audience. Her friend of hers was working on the

(34:44):
show and they had played this prank on me on
the show where they was meant to be a security
guard protecting something and somebody tried to steal it and
I wouldn't let them steal it. So at the green
room in the after party after the show, I was
kind of like a mini hero of the episode. Everyone's
pat me on the back. And then I met the
anchor for the first time, So who.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Spoke to her?

Speaker 1 (35:05):
First of all, I love hearing stories about how couples meet,
So who spoke to who?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
First of all, you're two strangers.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Two strangers. So I got introduced by her by a
mutual friend, and I can't remember much of We didn't
speak much of them, but in a bar later that
night we spoke for about a couple of hours. Oh wow,
And it's amazing that we managed to stay together because
I actually tried to kiss her at the bar and

(35:30):
she pulled.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Her head away. Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Can you imagine coming back from that position?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Very rare, seriously, said dad to daughters. I frown on
that kind of behavior.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
I thought there was chemistry and energy, and there was
obviously she just didn't like because.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
I tell you what you thought you were. You thought
you misedter TV.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
You do one sketch's suddenly you can have any lady
at the bar.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's what's happening in a couple of little beers in there.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
I was feeling particularly giddy.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
That did you? And then what happened then did she
you go your separate way?

Speaker 4 (35:59):
So yeah, we go our separate ways. But I had
her number, so I said, why don't we just as
friends hang.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Out and that old movie here? Put yourself back in
the friend zone?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Did you?

Speaker 4 (36:11):
We went our first date was they were doing those
movies outdoor cinema in the park. We went and watched
Wayne's World together and played table tennis, and after that
it became more of a romantic date again.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Fantastic Christian o'connells show, go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I'm going to ask you a question now. I'd like
to be honest with you. Have you just let one
go because there was an eggie smell in this studio? No,
there is you and you just told Rio and I
that you ate two whole eggs before the show.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
But to whole egg in this studio?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
List egg man, it ain't right. You go to the
toilet if you've got egg problems. I swear there's an
eggy puff puff in this studio right now. And it
is hard to do the show with that kind of
thug in here.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
It's just another misshod many.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Christian o'connalls, Hang on, did you do that? I did
not why are you giggling.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
That's to giggle of a man who's not a guilty,
who's throwing someone else under the who.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
Now you lot a gross.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Well, I'll tell you what, pats you stick your head
in it.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
There's an a smell here, and all I do know
is you add two raw rags before the show.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
That's going to create problems.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
It smells fresh over here because it's drifted my way.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Sorry, listeners, I will get back to the show right now.
It's just miss.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Christian O'Connell's miss heard lyrics.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
The problem is we're not allowed to open any windows
here because of soundproofing.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
I'm trapped now. It's noxious aroma miasma.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
That's what we've not going on here anyway, all right,
mishard lyrics. Every Monday we played about your mishard lyrics.
If we agree with what you think you're miss hearing.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
You will hear this.

Speaker 1 (37:57):

Speaker 2 (41:22):
So I didn't know, Patsy.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
They're still counting some votes in certain areas, like my area.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
They're still counting votes.

Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yeah, it counting continues today. There's still several seats up
in the air, including for Adam Bant the Greens later
in the city.

Speaker 6 (41:37):
Yeah, yeah, Greens. The Greens result was surprising.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
Actually they didn't fear as well as I thought they would.
It was quite surprising that his seat is at risk.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
So does the counting take so long, because maybe they
have to have like three or four goes accounting it
if they're so close, like the Goldstein one is ninety.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah, there's ninety five votes in at the moment, there
are only eighty percent of the votes have been counted. Yeah, soup,
and then did they be my age just sort of
go I want to go on a bit earlier?

Speaker 6 (42:04):
God working overtime?

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Ah, So what is there so many votes to count
or they're doing recounts.

Speaker 7 (42:10):
But it's also the postal votes are coming in still
as well, so you know, it's it's not just like
a two or three day event because remember, so many
people too had voted before the actual election, like a
phenomenal amount of people.

Speaker 6 (42:24):
This election had already Saturday.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Why did they count those last? Couldn't they count them
during the weekend?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
They already got those.

Speaker 7 (42:30):
Well, it's the postal votes though, Jack, that is still
coming in from across the country.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Deadline.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
There must be a deadline in which to vote. Well, no,
when they have just stop counting. It can't be like
November and they're like the still going, We're still getting
through them.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
This postal US post could be quite slow.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Go back to the post office, take your id.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Got those crusty old timers with naked eyes. It's like
a spec sam, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
And this was our first time voting here over the
weekend and it was I have to be honest, it
was really exciting. It's like a big thing. The whole
family could vote, so they have her daughters as well,
my wife. But I'm telling it, it is intimidatingly complicated.
I didn't realize you had two slips, the green one
and then that comical sort of six foot loo roll.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Where there's like, what's about twenty two people for them?

Speaker 1 (43:22):
I've never heard of. Everyone has a same We could
have our own party.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
My wife became a citizen only a couple of years
ago as well, so this is her first time in
a federal election. And she asked me what do I
do with the big one one? I said, I don't know.
You don't take that of serious.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Because then they go and still forget you can go
above the line or blow And I'm like, never heard
that phrase?

Speaker 6 (43:43):
Does anyone go below? And like none? From one rite
through to nearly.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Thirty there's more than that. There's like fifty.

Speaker 6 (43:50):
Insane or one.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
So many parties, isn't there on that strange massive timeline.
So I think normally you get for the timeline of civilization.
It starts with a bronze age. There's so much going on.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast.

Speaker 1 (44:08):

Christian o'connall show Podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Christian O'Connell's show. Every Tuesday on the show, we do
something called small Thing.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Big Rage, Small Thing sig.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Oftentimes it is small things that tip you over the
edge in life. Last week, Mike, people who put whole
boxes in my family in the recycling beam without breaking
them up. Hank when the dresser drawers are left open
after getting ready for the day, Kelly. When the palmer
is put on top of the chips, chips should be
on the side, Samantha. People who don't walk on escalators

(48:56):
stand in the middle or stand by the side with
another person. Jenny, you don't put a bin liner in
the bin after emptying it. My wife does this all
the time, and it's a gray area. What tasks are
assigned in relationship is that there's been no formal sit down.
But wife goes in my mind that sort of thing
you should be in charge of. Where are these written down?
Twenty seven years in marriage here and I'm still finding

(49:17):
out what are this? It's never ending this of what's
my stuff?

Speaker 4 (49:20):
I've got to bring you these cards that have got
over summer called fair game cards. Bian can put purchase them.
And what it is is every conceivable job in a household.
You lay them all out in front of you and
you almost negotiate what is yours and what.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
So it's kind of like domestic domestic duties draft day.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
Yes it is, but you don't want that. So I've
got bins in my house, which means means refilling the
bin liners and bins in their bathroom.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Also picking up dog boop as well, because that's fine
under bin stuff.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Apparently that is on my list. I was feeling like
a lot of stuff on Bianca's list was stuff she
was already doing, like and only have to do very
rarely sign Gordy up for kindergarten. It's like, how often
is shouting at you every day?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Perhaps you've got a new one for small things, but this.

Speaker 6 (50:09):
This drove me crazy.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
Yesterday Chris and I had to go and do the
grocery shop and they obviously been really really busy because
when we got to the outside little trolley bait there
were none that obviously been really busy, so there were
none anywhere.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
So this drives me absolutely nuts because who has coins?

Speaker 6 (50:27):
I never have coins, never have cos.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Remember they used to live in your car.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
You would have that coin drawer, I believe, because you
needed them for parking machines. Now it's like tap and
you can pay, but no one has coins anymore.

Speaker 7 (50:39):
No, no, anyway, we finally tracked two down in the
corner far corner of the car park, but they were joined.
They were joined, and we.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Didn't Chris, light your handcuffed to each other? Two criminals
on the right. I'm going oh no, no, you can't.
Got to come to eight.

Speaker 7 (50:57):
We'd wasted like fifteen minutes already try to find the trolleys.
And then we get and I have got one of
those little you can buy, those little tokens that you
meant to put on your key chain, universal universal thing,
and you shove it in the slot the one or
the two dollars sort of area, and it just we
should get.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
A load of those. Yes, the golden.

Speaker 7 (51:20):
Coin totally with our shows signal on it. But this
lady could
