Speaker 2 (00:18):
Got anything Good?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
HiT's a chemist warehouse and save more money every year
on your regular medication with discount of prescriptions in every
store every day.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Good morning, Australia. This is the start of a brand
new adventure for us and for you as well. Never
in radio history in Australia has to have been a
national breakfast show. Since I moved here and started in
the radio here seven years ago, it never made any sense.
How can these radio stations have national drivetime show? And
I was told by so many bosses. Yeah, but those
(00:57):
same people in the morning they won't have it, so
exactly the same human beings will have it in the afternoon, Yes,
but they won't have it eight hours early in the day. No,
they won't. You do realize nothing or saying makes any sense. No. No,
in the morning though, only this is what I was
told once by former boss. In the morning, Australians only
care about their own backyard. In the afternoon, they're very
(01:19):
interested in Adelaide, Melbourne, sy Northern territories. They extend the
backyard in the afternoon, but in the morning, only in
my backyard.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Don't you dare show me down until nine am?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, so, I am aware that there's a high chance
what we're starting today will be short lived. But sometimes
in life a great short lived thing is good too.
Sometimes things go on too long. You think about your
favorite TV show, Probably, if we're honest, a couple of
seasons too many. If we only get half a season
(01:51):
or half a week, at least we did it for
a couple of days exactly, you know. So don't matter
what I'm saying, guys is, don't buy any new property,
don't buy any new cars, do not make any pads.
Keep it low, keep it low, expect nothing, enjoy it
well at last. By the way, my wife and I
will well kept yesterday morning right, and I was like, wow,
I can't believe it's tomorrow. I'm so excited. And my
(02:13):
wife went, look, I don't know whether I should be
saying this, and already I went, well, then done. If
you have that already, that choice, pick the right choice.
And now you know when someone says it, like, what
what do I need to know? Now? It's just I
had a dream last night about the new national show
of yours. I went okay, and I went, how did
it go? Show them?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Actually not very well. A couple of things on this
Why say anything if you're married to like a great
tennis player and they're playing in the they're playing in
the open this week, you're not going, Hey, listen, I
had a dreamlessting. You don't make it, by the way,
so don't plan anything for that Sunday when it's the
when it's the finals, you won't be there lowering the bat.
(02:56):
And also, just lie any relationship. What the hell? You
don't tell the truth? I like, I do I look
nice in this outfit? Not really, but it doesn't matter.
We got to go. Don't tell me the truth? And
also we're she dreaming? Or was it was it her
dream that it didn't go well? So anyway, we got
(03:17):
good intentions for the show. I'm aware that some of
you listening right now won't know too much about the show,
who I am, who the other mumlies are around me.
Don't worry, We've got plenty of time for that. The
most important thing you need to know is welcome to
the bright side. Of the Dial The.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I've had a lovely Christmas a new year? Is it
too late now to start wishing people? Still? Happy New Year?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It's on the cast.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm still rocking it.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, you said to me yesterday on the fine and
it threw me.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
There was a couple of seconds delay. I went, why
is that route? Have I just canceled myself? Why is
it confronting to someone say Happy New Year's the first
time I've spoken to you this year?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I know, but i'd sort of already moved on throughout
the year. I'm so sown yes here now it's almost Beyruary.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Can you believe it's already January the nineteenth? Anyway? All right,
let's get in to what we're going to do on
today's first ever national radio show. Are first. It's a
big show, which means we've got some big ideas today.
So this is our first show. It's also your first show.
(04:23):
If you're listening today, you're taking part in radio history
because there's never been a national breakfast show for Australia. Now.
I started in Australian radio seven years ago and to
this day people go, oh yeah, I was there on
your first show. Now, I on knew what the numbers
were in those first two months. There's no way you're
all here because if you were here, I wouldn't have
(04:44):
heard that first year and a half a little bit bumpy,
a little bit down to the right before it went
up to the right. It had to go down before
it went up. So there's no way everyone was there
ony one. Now, the only way we're going to know
over the next couple of years, if this thing becomes
a thing, and let's hope it does, the only way
we're really going to know that you were there on
(05:05):
day one is if you also write your name on
the lead of ble of radio history. So today, wherever
you're listening text the show. You can text meh four
seven five three one oh four three. That way we
will check the manifest on show number one. Were you
elliot listening? Hang on, let me consult my log book
(05:27):
of listeners who texted on show one in twenty twenty six.
The other thing we want to do, because this is
our first show, our first national radio show. On the
nineteenth of January, I have come up with nineteen phone ins.
Now normally on Australian radio there's only one phone in
at a time. Australians they cannot handle one than one
(05:48):
fourth at the time, and I say no way. And
on our show, with our seven years, we've done three
phone ins at the same time and once five and
it was testing it. Today we throw the rule book
out the window. We do nineteen phone ins nineteen ninety nineteen,
a lot nineteen phonings on one show. Now you might
be thinking, Christian, this is crazy. We're not going to
mimbre all nineteen. Don't worry. They're all on one theme,
(06:11):
the theme of life's firsts be which when you think
about it, life is a series of firsts. Let's not
worry about the last Those stories not as fun on
Show one. When we get fired, Let's make nineteen last
last national show we ever did together, goes just pat
to Melbourne only all right, So I've broken up all
(06:33):
these nineteen phone ins over the next three hours our one.
The first six these are the fun firsts. Let's get
my favorite thing I've got over Christmas from my daughters,
Paddington Bear notepad.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Absolutely all great minds wrote on.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm standing on the shoulder of giants with my Paddington
magnetic notepad. All right, first school detention and then my
first school attention. I only got one detention. It was
an amazing thing. You know, you'd have your classroom or
your desks. We would have to sit in groups of
four because it was a classroom of thirty eight people,
(07:12):
big old class enormo. Hence why some people me slip by,
you know, and there's radio to catch you. People fall
between the cracks. Don't worry, thicky, you can end up
on the radio. Can he press play? Can you are
you sure you've got that kind of body control function?
(07:32):
Thinky okay? Connor? Why are you? Radio is for you?
First attention teacher Lease. I decided to try, and I
stand up and try and leap across all the desks.
I made it to forty until he came in. There's
nothing that terrifies you more than SI your surname. No
one yells your surname and adult life do they got
(07:52):
good play? Even the police let you go a generic stop.
But I won't know. We know your parents sorrow, O'Connell.
All I heard was God down, You're like you're inside suficiera,
don't they You always remember your first attention? That was
me the legendary, not just it attention, the head master's attention.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Oh okay, what's that?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's when where you have to go and sit in
the head master's offices. It's only ever two or three
people allowed that time for that one. All right, So
first ever detention, your first ever pet, your first ever car.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I have one for first car.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Actually, we had a white Volvo that passed down through
all of the Lee children, so all of my siblings
got the white Volvo. Now this car, there is no
way that this car was actually roadworthy. First problem, it
would leak through the roof. So Dad cut a hole
in the bottom of the car so the water would
(08:51):
system train.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But then he.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Realized that the exhaust fumes would go up the hole
into the car.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And this is a man, is a doctor. I don't
want him mending my internal plumbing. Don't which my exhaust
pipe got to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
So then to plug up the hole in the car,
he got a champagne cork which you put.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Then the headlight.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Real James dos.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But did you remember Grace brothers them with Grace they
had a red plastic bag. So when one of the
lights broke, instead of getting a proper cover for it
with like the red plastic Dad got a red plastic
grace brother's bag that he duct taped onto the back
of the car.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So the saw that car drive around, I think that
is a kidnappers and the panel van. I never got
seriously ted Bundy, keep me southing Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Never got pulled over once.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Incredible, scared. Don't you don't want to mess with that orn?
Its netched, all right? So look me, your story is
in the first hour of the show. Then your first
ever school detention, first thing you ever saved not for
with your own money, your first pets, your first car,
and also the first thing you wanted to be when
(10:13):
you were a grown up. Passily, what's the first thing
you saved up for with your own money?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh, I desperately wanted a pair of ADDEDUS Rome sneakers,
which were so hot in the eighties and they were
so expensive.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
That was so cool.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Now you know, we're in twenty twenty six. The eighties
is getting further away.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
No, it's scary.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The eighties, that's quite a few decades. Yeah, you know,
I had to sign into one of those things, become
a member, or you can't get the uniglow and you
have to toggle.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Even then there was these fake ones you could get
that were called I don't know, RUMs or something else,
and they had like two stripes instead of three, And
you know I'd only saved up for those, and Mum said, well,
get a pair of this. I said, no, They've got
to be the proper Adidas rooms. And I wore those
things till there was no tread left. I still wish
they made them like they do the Sambers, which are
(11:42):
similar but not quite the ROMs.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Every mum now wears a Yeah. Isn't it amazing how
trends just suddenly come from nowhere trainers have always been around,

I had the car door open, so I ripped the
car door off, and being the engineering student that I was,
I went to the wreckers bought myself a new door.

actually fit and so I had to tie it on,
tied onto the to the passenger side door with a rope,
which which actually worked. I couldn't open the door.
Speaker 1 (16:34):

but understandable story. It's the fact that the car door
was even open in the first place. Camp.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Well, I don't know windsurfers. I don't know. He was
on the same beach as dad, and.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
He made it sound like he's on the same board.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I don't know. Maybe they did some sort of tandem thing.
I'm not sure. Then I went over a minute, Oh
my god, it's Jason Stevens.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Amazing that he spotted him windsurfing. Your dad did in
his kit or something, get his boots off with his
name on the back.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
So I go down and he goes, who was so lovely,

a signed Bible by Jason Stephens.

Wait, he signed sign and listen if you wrote it
and it's your own book. I've got a book coming out.
You don't. You don't go and go around doing books

for giving the show ago. I'm going to keep saying
Happy New Year for still next couple of days, Christian,
Welcome to Sydney. The first time I can remember being
scared with so when I was being by Spider and
(31:56):
my younger brother or we were all six, told me
it was a black widow. He lied to me, and
I had twenty four hours hours to live, but probably
less because I was been last night. I remember screaming
so hysterically that the neighbors getting from radhouse thinking someone
had happened. My mum attempted to hospital to get a
doctor tell me that I was fine and probably gonna survive.
(32:18):
That was forty years ago. I'm still trying to figure
out how to get even with my brother me. Thank
you very much, Christian. The first movie that made me
cry a family dog had run away and my dad
thought the best idea the chair was sort Up, which
was a brand new movie called Marley, Big Mistake, A terrible,
terrible Dad veil.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
O.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
This looks like a fun movie.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Dog on the front cover Loo and Wilson, Oh Chilby Taylor.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Christian first famous Merson. First famous person I remember seeing
was the man from the Yellow Pages, Go Go Mobile,
Lad in the Wild Christian. My scariest experience I was
nine years old, and it was one of our first
visits with my father after my parents separated. He put
on a film for my brother's and I to watch.
(33:09):
It was called Children of the Corn. These are all dads?
Are we picking up a partner? Are a cool hiding
under a blanket? But I don't think emotion. I've ever
emerged from Michelle, good morning, to Tony listening to us
in Robe and essay, welcome to the show. Janine's on
the show now, Good morning, Jeanine. Welcome, hello Christian, Janine,
(33:31):
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. When I was twelve years old, the
family won a trip to America.

And how did you win it?
Speaker 2 (33:39):

Speaker 2 (33:45):
So we went to come All by the Sea as
part of our tour.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I'm going to California. It's beautiful there.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yes, the tour guide told us that Quint Eastwood used
to sit in the pub down there. So all our
Australian kids went down and met Clint Eastwood and being
Australian and athletes, we had to show him how to
do speed walking.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Oh wow, so he's a cowboy. You know, he's dirty.
Harry's the outdoor Josey els but can he speak?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Just after he'd done the Alcatraz movies?
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Oh from Alcatraz?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
And why were you teaching how to speed walk?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Because it was a funny sort of thing. Not many
people knew about speed walking back then, and so he
wanted us to show him what it looks like. So
we always walked out of the pub. We're going our bumps.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
There's nothing wrong with this scene whatsoever. It's Kenty's with
a load of horsy kids wigging their bums in them. Okay,

looked at all the different topics we've had today on
the theme of firsts. You know, first famous person you

has messed with saying first time I had sex, I
became a dad. I think I did not ask anyone,
nor would I, nor would I about the first time
(35:43):
you had sex. I don't want to know. Incredibly, I
don't want to know. Australia, but golden Shot, great swimmers.
Suddenly I'm playing bat Benatar, hit me be the best
shot banks and it's not for the best fella here.
But that is one and done. Someone has typed that
out this morning, changed it for time. Tell you want

single day at the all together now, So wherever you
are in Australia, we will fly you into Melbourne to
come to the Aoh, it is an incredible experience. You
(37:09):
are the Queen of Battle Seats. Some of you may
remember the Great Game Battleships. We've recreated that with the
layout fifteen thousand seats. I don't think there were fifteen
thousand spots on my version of MB Games Battleships. So
hopefully the Queen of Battle Seats Partisiccaiden has crunched this down.
(37:31):
How's it going to work?
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Them?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Battle seats?
Speaker 8 (37:33):
Every day? We will give you a section of the arena, section, section.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Section and that all winning sections correct.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
That will break it down to about one hundred seats.
So we've got one hundred seats to guess.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Hey, I'm just like taking a hundred calls every day.
People are going seat five, seat nine. The Australia's going
not for me actually, and probably why they've done one
of these National Breakfast shows before because it actually sucks.
Seat nine, seat eleven. Now we've already had that one.
Me just get increasing in rati. We've had that one.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Can we strink it down even more?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, maybe it's like five seats.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
I can just give you the immediate rose.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
You just give you the winning seats. Okay, why not?
You know we're a bit busy, we're running late. There
are the winning seats. I guarantee if we do that,
people still call in against the wrong one. That is
commercial radio in Australia.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
So I can give you between the rows of and
there are two prizes in those rows. You have to
choose the seat though that they're in. If you hit it,
that means you've hit the battle seat and you've won.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
That's the missing waters. And they built a moat there
rod Lae since I last year. You've missed.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
You're in the arrow.

really bringing them on a mentoring them. Jonesy and Amanda.

luck as well on their first show as well. We

national show. Thank you very much all your calls, all
your lovely messages as well. Thank you very much as
well for the emails over the weekend. I got emails
(56:28):
from people who realized what today was, who were saying
good luck. It meant so much. Thank you very much.
That and if you're brand Newedlers show, it doesn't matter
that you don't know yet what we're all about. I
was thinking over the last couple of weeks, how do
we really explain what the show is, because hopefully you've
realized by now we're not like the other shows, and
that's not to say they're any better. You flick around,
you make your own choices, you get the shows that
(56:50):
you want. Basically, however, this is deliberately designed. You might
be shocked to know there is actual thought and intention
that goes into the show. However, we do, we do
make it differently, and I hope you really pick up
on that. And so of the last couple of weeks,
I was thinking, how do I get a cross very
clearly what this show is about and I've actually normally
Rio writes the songs, and I've written a song. This
(57:13):
is our show. Welcome wherever you are, to the bright
side of the dial.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
HiT's a chemist warehouse and save more money every year
on your regular medication with discount of prescriptions in every
store every day.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Good morning, Australia. This is the start of a brand
new adventure for us and for you as well. Never
in radio history in Australia has to have been a
national breakfast show. Since I moved here and started in
the radio here seven years ago, it never made any sense.
How can these radio stations have national drivetime show? And
I was told by so many bosses. Yeah, but those
(00:57):
same people in the morning they won't have it, so
exactly the same human beings will have it in the afternoon, Yes,
but they won't have it eight hours early in the day. No,
they won't. You do realize nothing or saying makes any sense. No. No,
in the morning though, only this is what I was
told once by former boss. In the morning, Australians only
care about their own backyard. In the afternoon, they're very
(01:19):
interested in Adelaide, Melbourne, sy Northern territories. They extend the
backyard in the afternoon, but in the morning, only in
my backyard.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Don't you dare show me down until nine am?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, so, I am aware that there's a high chance
what we're starting today will be short lived. But sometimes
in life a great short lived thing is good too.
Sometimes things go on too long. You think about your
favorite TV show, Probably, if we're honest, a couple of
seasons too many. If we only get half a season
(01:51):
or half a week, at least we did it for
a couple of days exactly, you know. So don't matter
what I'm saying, guys is, don't buy any new property,
don't buy any new cars, do not make any pads.
Keep it low, keep it low, expect nothing, enjoy it
well at last. By the way, my wife and I
will well kept yesterday morning right, and I was like, wow,
I can't believe it's tomorrow. I'm so excited. And my
(02:13):
wife went, look, I don't know whether I should be
saying this, and already I went, well, then done. If
you have that already, that choice, pick the right choice.
And now you know when someone says it, like, what
what do I need to know? Now? It's just I
had a dream last night about the new national show
of yours. I went okay, and I went, how did
it go? Show them?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Actually not very well. A couple of things on this
Why say anything if you're married to like a great
tennis player and they're playing in the they're playing in
the open this week, you're not going, Hey, listen, I
had a dreamlessting. You don't make it, by the way,
so don't plan anything for that Sunday when it's the
when it's the finals, you won't be there lowering the bat.
(02:56):
And also, just lie any relationship. What the hell? You
don't tell the truth? I like, I do I look
nice in this outfit? Not really, but it doesn't matter.
We got to go. Don't tell me the truth? And
also we're she dreaming? Or was it was it her
dream that it didn't go well? So anyway, we got
(03:17):
good intentions for the show. I'm aware that some of
you listening right now won't know too much about the show,
who I am, who the other mumlies are around me.
Don't worry, We've got plenty of time for that. The
most important thing you need to know is welcome to
the bright side. Of the Dial The.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I've had a lovely Christmas a new year? Is it
too late now to start wishing people? Still? Happy New Year?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It's on the cast.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm still rocking it.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, you said to me yesterday on the fine and
it threw me.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
There was a couple of seconds delay. I went, why
is that route? Have I just canceled myself? Why is
it confronting to someone say Happy New Year's the first
time I've spoken to you this year?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I know, but i'd sort of already moved on throughout
the year. I'm so sown yes here now it's almost Beyruary.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Can you believe it's already January the nineteenth? Anyway? All right,
let's get in to what we're going to do on
today's first ever national radio show. Are first. It's a
big show, which means we've got some big ideas today.
So this is our first show. It's also your first show.
(04:23):
If you're listening today, you're taking part in radio history
because there's never been a national breakfast show for Australia. Now.
I started in Australian radio seven years ago and to
this day people go, oh yeah, I was there on
your first show. Now, I on knew what the numbers
were in those first two months. There's no way you're
all here because if you were here, I wouldn't have
(04:44):
heard that first year and a half a little bit bumpy,
a little bit down to the right before it went
up to the right. It had to go down before
it went up. So there's no way everyone was there
ony one. Now, the only way we're going to know
over the next couple of years, if this thing becomes
a thing, and let's hope it does, the only way
we're really going to know that you were there on
(05:05):
day one is if you also write your name on
the lead of ble of radio history. So today, wherever
you're listening text the show. You can text meh four
seven five three one oh four three. That way we
will check the manifest on show number one. Were you
elliot listening? Hang on, let me consult my log book
(05:27):
of listeners who texted on show one in twenty twenty six.
The other thing we want to do, because this is
our first show, our first national radio show. On the
nineteenth of January, I have come up with nineteen phone ins.
Now normally on Australian radio there's only one phone in
at a time. Australians they cannot handle one than one
(05:48):
fourth at the time, and I say no way. And
on our show, with our seven years, we've done three
phone ins at the same time and once five and
it was testing it. Today we throw the rule book
out the window. We do nineteen phone ins nineteen ninety nineteen,
a lot nineteen phonings on one show. Now you might
be thinking, Christian, this is crazy. We're not going to
mimbre all nineteen. Don't worry. They're all on one theme,
(06:11):
the theme of life's firsts be which when you think
about it, life is a series of firsts. Let's not
worry about the last Those stories not as fun on
Show one. When we get fired, Let's make nineteen last
last national show we ever did together, goes just pat
to Melbourne only all right, So I've broken up all
(06:33):
these nineteen phone ins over the next three hours our one.
The first six these are the fun firsts. Let's get
my favorite thing I've got over Christmas from my daughters,
Paddington Bear notepad.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Absolutely all great minds wrote on.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm standing on the shoulder of giants with my Paddington
magnetic notepad. All right, first school detention and then my
first school attention. I only got one detention. It was
an amazing thing. You know, you'd have your classroom or
your desks. We would have to sit in groups of
four because it was a classroom of thirty eight people,
(07:12):
big old class enormo. Hence why some people me slip by,
you know, and there's radio to catch you. People fall
between the cracks. Don't worry, thicky, you can end up
on the radio. Can he press play? Can you are
you sure you've got that kind of body control function?
(07:32):
Thinky okay? Connor? Why are you? Radio is for you?
First attention teacher Lease. I decided to try, and I
stand up and try and leap across all the desks.
I made it to forty until he came in. There's
nothing that terrifies you more than SI your surname. No
one yells your surname and adult life do they got
(07:52):
good play? Even the police let you go a generic stop.
But I won't know. We know your parents sorrow, O'Connell.
All I heard was God down, You're like you're inside suficiera,
don't they You always remember your first attention? That was
me the legendary, not just it attention, the head master's attention.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Oh okay, what's that?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's when where you have to go and sit in
the head master's offices. It's only ever two or three
people allowed that time for that one. All right, So
first ever detention, your first ever pet, your first ever car.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I have one for first car.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Actually, we had a white Volvo that passed down through
all of the Lee children, so all of my siblings
got the white Volvo. Now this car, there is no
way that this car was actually roadworthy. First problem, it
would leak through the roof. So Dad cut a hole
in the bottom of the car so the water would
(08:51):
system train.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But then he.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Realized that the exhaust fumes would go up the hole
into the car.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And this is a man, is a doctor. I don't
want him mending my internal plumbing. Don't which my exhaust
pipe got to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
So then to plug up the hole in the car,
he got a champagne cork which you put.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Then the headlight.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Real James dos.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But did you remember Grace brothers them with Grace they
had a red plastic bag. So when one of the
lights broke, instead of getting a proper cover for it
with like the red plastic Dad got a red plastic
grace brother's bag that he duct taped onto the back
of the car.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So the saw that car drive around, I think that
is a kidnappers and the panel van. I never got
seriously ted Bundy, keep me southing Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Never got pulled over once.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Incredible, scared. Don't you don't want to mess with that orn?
Its netched, all right? So look me, your story is
in the first hour of the show. Then your first
ever school detention, first thing you ever saved not for
with your own money, your first pets, your first car,
and also the first thing you wanted to be when
(10:13):
you were a grown up. Passily, what's the first thing
you saved up for with your own money?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh, I desperately wanted a pair of ADDEDUS Rome sneakers,
which were so hot in the eighties and they were
so expensive.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
That was so cool.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Now you know, we're in twenty twenty six. The eighties
is getting further away.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
No, it's scary.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The eighties, that's quite a few decades. Yeah, you know,
I had to sign into one of those things, become
a member, or you can't get the uniglow and you
have to toggle.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
There was decollector weren't you smashing heads?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Even then there was these fake ones you could get
that were called I don't know, RUMs or something else,
and they had like two stripes instead of three, And
you know I'd only saved up for those, and Mum said, well,
get a pair of this. I said, no, They've got
to be the proper Adidas rooms. And I wore those
things till there was no tread left. I still wish
they made them like they do the Sambers, which are
(11:42):
similar but not quite the ROMs.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Every mum now wears a Yeah. Isn't it amazing how
trends just suddenly come from nowhere trainers have always been around,
but obviously a massive resurgence from middle aged mums everywhere

All right, I've got a Volvo story. So my first
car over was the nineteen seventy eight Volvo station Wagon,
one of the best. I was a student at the
time and I was reversing out my parents' driveway and
I had the car door open, so I ripped the
car door off, and being the engineering student that I was,
I went to the wreckers bought myself a new door.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It on. Uh, you're never going to know. We got
the Australian mcguy for in you can.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
It was a blue door on a red car. But
but when I when I got home, the door didn't
actually fit and so I had to tie it on,
tied onto the to the passenger side door with a rope,
which which actually worked. I couldn't open the door.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And hiring you for Tesla right now, what an insane
but understandable story. It's the fact that the car door
was even open in the first place. Camp.

Welcome to Sydney. The first time I can remember being
scared with so when I was being by Spider and
(31:56):
my younger brother or we were all six, told me
it was a black widow. He lied to me, and
I had twenty four hours hours to live, but probably
less because I was been last night. I remember screaming
so hysterically that the neighbors getting from radhouse thinking someone
had happened. My mum attempted to hospital to get a
doctor tell me that I was fine and probably gonna survive.
(32:18):
That was forty years ago. I'm still trying to figure
out how to get even with my brother me. Thank
you very much, Christian. The first movie that made me
cry a family dog had run away and my dad
thought the best idea the chair was sort Up, which
was a brand new movie called Marley, Big Mistake, A terrible,
terrible Dad veil.

Christian first famous Merson. First famous person I remember seeing
was the man from the Yellow Pages, Go Go Mobile,
Lad in the Wild Christian. My scariest experience I was
nine years old, and it was one of our first
visits with my father after my parents separated. He put
on a film for my brother's and I to watch.
(33:09):
It was called Children of the Corn. These are all dads?

part of our tour.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I'm going to California. It's beautiful there.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yes, the tour guide told us that Quint Eastwood used
to sit in the pub down there. So all our
Australian kids went down and met Clint Eastwood and being
Australian and athletes, we had to show him how to
do speed walking.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Oh wow, so he's a cowboy. You know, he's dirty.
Harry's the outdoor Josey els but can he speak?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Just after he'd done the Alcatraz movies?
Speaker 7 (34:16):
Oh from Alcatraz?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
And why were you teaching how to speed walk?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Because it was a funny sort of thing. Not many
people knew about speed walking back then, and so he
wanted us to show him what it looks like. So
we always walked out of the pub. We're going our bumps.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
There's nothing wrong with this scene whatsoever. It's Kenty's with

remember the Great Game Battleships. We've recreated that with the
layout fifteen thousand seats. I don't think there were fifteen
thousand spots on my version of MB Games Battleships. So
hopefully the Queen of Battle Seats Partisiccaiden has crunched this down.
(37:31):

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Hey, I'm just like taking a hundred calls every day.

Speaker 8 (38:09):
I can just give you the immediate rose.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
You just give you the winning seats. Okay, why not?
You know we're a bit busy, we're running late. There
are the winning seats. I guarantee if we do that,
people still call in against the wrong one. That is
commercial radio in Australia.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
So I can give you between the rows of and
there are two prizes in those rows. You have to
choose the seat though that they're in. If you hit it,
that means you've hit the battle seat and you've won.

well for the emails over the weekend. I got emails
(56:28):
from people who realized what today was, who were saying
good luck. It meant so much. Thank you very much.
That and if you're brand Newedlers show, it doesn't matter
that you don't know yet what we're all about. I
was thinking over the last couple of weeks, how do
we really explain what the show is, because hopefully you've
realized by now we're not like the other shows, and
that's not to say they're any better. You flick around,
you make your own choices, you get the shows that
(56:50):
you want. Basically, however, this is deliberately designed. You might
be shocked to know there is actual thought and intention
that goes into the show. However, we do, we do
make it differently, and I hope you really pick up
on that. And so of the last couple of weeks,
I was thinking, how do I get a cross very
clearly what this show is about and I've actually normally
Rio writes the songs, and I've written a song. This
(57:13):
is our show. Welcome wherever you are, to the bright
side of the dial.
