This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good morning, Rio, good morning, Good morning, Patsy morning, and
good morning Alex.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
So on a Tuesday, first half found the show. We
talked about our day yesterday on Mondays and are we
starting the week? Did we start the week on Monday?
Winner or loser? Patsy? Start your engine now? Something terrible'll
happened to you yesterday?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Can you believe this?

Speaker 5 (00:50):
I went to the supermarket yesterday afternoon and got a
couple of things, came out and someone had knocked the
front on it of my car and left quite a
significant dent and not left the details.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
What Yeah, who does that?

Speaker 5 (01:07):
And it was obviously a white because there was some
white juco on my bonnet and it's kind of got
like the bottom.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Do you ask around for anyone who saw it or anything?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's horrible. You know, it's all Christmas or anytime.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
I mean, I know it's just a car.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
But the annoying thing is it's probably not enough damage
to do under the insurance with your excess. So I've
just kind of got a copy it. It's just like
a little like a line across like a kind of
vertical line, so they've obviously like tapped at it significant
sort of. I thought maybe it was a trolley, and
then the Love God looked at it and he said, no,

(01:43):
that's definitely a car.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's got white chuco on it.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Real, you've got different theory that show and then said, you.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Say it, I am just so I have a curious mind.

Speaker 7 (01:53):
Yeah, and obviously I'm sure I'm sure Patsy's correct. I
just said, is there a possibility that perhaps maybe previously,
maybe you could have possibly been the one that hits someone?

Speaker 6 (02:13):
This scoundrel possibil I.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Can just see what the pre show meeting would have contained.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Ye came in and when she's she's clown into somebody,
trust me.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
If and we saw how ship the speed that she
parks her obviously a very slow motion accident.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
If I had hit something.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Over a matter of hours.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
If I hit something enough with enough impact to make
that sort of damage, I.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Would not know.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
I woulddraw the question you thank you annoying.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Before the show goes you ask her, I went, what
your theory?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's better coming from you weasel there. Yeah, you capitulated
like England a couple of weeks ago. Capitulation week.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Guys just back actually hopefully not.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
So anyway, they didn't like their details, so it's horrible.
That is, thank you for doing that. Merry Christmas to you.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
And yeah, Calma's coming their way, Patsy.

Michael sent a lovely message in after hearing that someone
dinked Patsy's car, yes, saying didn't leave their details. I
think I spoke about us on a show a couple
months ago. I actualently reversed into somebody's car and got out.
There wasn't a lot of damage, but I left my
number and said, hey, if you're not happy with this,
we can sort of out call me.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
This lovely lady called me and.

Speaker 2 (04:41):

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm trying to confuse about the name because.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
It sounds like a pun. But I can't figure it out.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Are we missing something here or is it just simply
amazing dent an amazing I don't want an amazing dent.
I'm not in awe of the dent. I'm in awe
of the dentless work that he does.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
And he's a jingle amazing grace, but amazing dent.

no more, no more'n yeah, like faith no more?

Speaker 1 (06:14):
All right?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I am a Monday loser. Obviously we had the Black Friday.
Sorry Black? What's someone on Sunday?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well? Black Friday was Sunday. It's like a seventy two
hour thing, now, isn't it? Ciber Monday?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yesterday? And what's today? Dial up Tuesday? It feels like
it's constant. I can get those emails knowing, hey, don't
forget you've got three hours left on Black Friday, like
it's Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Anyway, So.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Our family, we love our birken Stocks, right, I've been
a wearing Berkenstons for years. However, I don't know why
they are so expensive. You know, it's a cork footbed.
I don't know if the price of cork right now,
listen to what's going on with the Dale Jones at
six o'clock in my favorite business news roundup with pantsy,
but nothing about the price of cork. Even the Black

(07:04):
Friday souse. These Birkenstocks are still so expensive.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Both my girls wanted Birkenstocks, of course, two different styles
that had to go on two different websites.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Anyway, one of my, oh my god, this is like
half price. Now.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I was rushing around Sunday. I put it in a basket. Yes,
they go back to that basket. Price has gone back up.
Oh well, I thought it was like, you know, the
Vatican is a sovereign state. I thought, the basket. Once
it's in there, it's a sovereign state. It can't be
taken out, or the price can't The price is price

(07:38):
in yes, price surging were they doing? We buy tickets now?
But they dynamic pricing on boken stocks?

Speaker 6 (07:43):
When would it end?

Speaker 7 (07:44):
Like if you if you locked it in on Sunday,
say you don't come back back for two three months,
Are you still expecting your price to be locked in?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I can't, but surely twenty four hours come on.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
That's how they get you, those Germans in the birken Stocks.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's how it wasn't on their website.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was another sort of independent website that I couldn't determine.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I then try and find out.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, I have a look where it going and
I've never heard of these people before. I then go
in too, con scroll down and find out about just
to see are they I don't know why I trust
it more if they're in this country.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I feel reassured at least the reason why actually if
they're shifting that it only happens outside of Australia. But
I'm just feel like, if I aren't gonna be ripped off,
I want it done by my own people.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
Support Australian scammers.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
These foreign scammers coming over taking our scammers jobs.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
Spang out order, let's March on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Rio. Are you a Monday Winter or a loser?

Speaker 6 (08:45):
I'm also a loser.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
I'm starting to realize that the house that me and
my partner Will bought isn't you know, a lovely house
for the two of us to enjoy, but in fact,
is just a hotel for his friends and family to
stay at indefinitely until the end of time. Oh no,
and I am just a humble innkeeper, tending to their
needs because we've only is Will your partners?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
He more social than you.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Yeah, he has more friends than me, and he loves.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
What I found out yesterday.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
No matter if it's a heterosexual relationship or it's gay guys. Right,
someone is in charge because I'm giving away my family
couch later on, and I said to Rich do you
want it?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
First?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
To was that I just need to check with Will,
And I said to my wife, Oh, actually, they're also
like us.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
There's always someone who's in charge. Yes, I don't have
they just call them a top. But no, like the
top end of town. That's what.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Sometimes amazing tops.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's a very different business, just ready for that domain.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
But is he more social than you?

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Generally speaking, he is the decision maker in the couple.
I don't have clearance to make any decisions whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, that's like, yeah, so running a business where you've
got to run any purchase over fifty dollars with you,
it's a chief executive.

Speaker 7 (10:13):
He's a chief executive. And he is taking full advantage
of this house. He's got his dad coming tonight.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's thirty I know.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
And then we moved in on Friday, and then on
Wednesday as soon as his dad leaves, he's got three
of his friends staying from Wednesday till Sunday.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's up there.

Speaker 7 (10:34):
Well okay, and of course I don't have any clearance
to make any decision making.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
We're not running the richest here where.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Okay, it does feel like that. That's three plus days,
and you know what.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I know it.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
This was his plan all along. And I didn't twig
because he used to talk about, oh, we used to
be in a one bedroom apartment, or we can never
have people over, they can never stay. I'd love to
have my parents have a blah blah blah. Now I
know the only reason he wanted this house. This is
his plan coming to fruition, and I'm the sucker holding
the bag.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
That is stressful when you have people staying at your place,
it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
And also about you guys.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Unless it's an emergency, I don't want to stay over
at somebody else's house.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Because you're like, are they up yet?

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I wish you were Will's dad.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
All day up yet? I want to go and you know,
have a coffee or am I going to wake them up?
What time do they get up?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
And then once we had some friends stay over and
it was about half ten eleven and they still hadn't.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Got up, and he got about twelve.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
My wife said, hey, Chris, how about he just got
a bang on the door and just say is everything
okay in there? I kind of a strange and to
say anyway, I go near the door, it's very clear
that they are, Oh.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
No, having a good time.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh hotel.

Speaker 9 (11:51):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Then I'm too scared to go back and tell my
wife because I'm like, you should probably make me go
and interrupt them, throw some cold water on like you
would find now anyway.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Oh that's just awkward, not in the middle of the
day especially.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I love the way that Patsy has hours under the
cover of darkness.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
That's okay, that's all right.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Actually, there's a nookie curfew about that cat curfew.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You can't be doing it until before seven.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Pm until sundown.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's a day of rest and worship.

Speaker 9 (22:43):
It's a beautiful town.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Time for this week's Things that make you go gurr.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
It needs to make you go get me started today,
he needs to make.

Speaker 12 (22:59):
You go.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Christian.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Things that make me go gurr. When you text you
a Network time wastee, you know it's a gold and
Rio gives it a bronze.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Listen, it is subjective. One man's goal in another man's bronze.
That's life, my friend.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
I'm a very fair and accurate judge. Sorry, especially if
you're getting a bronze. It definitely wasn't a gold. Maybe
if it was a silver.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Tough love there this morning coming from Rio me, good
morning MEA things make Google Guru Those obnoxiously oversized mirrors
on already oversized cars.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know the huge site mirrors.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yes, oh yeah me and now goes to a CAP's
lock and rightly so, dude. If you need a truck
sized mirror to see your car around a corner, get
a spec Savers will get a new car. I'm with you, mirror,
I'm with you, Mia. I love this song filmed Glenn Christian.
Thing makes you go girl When someone arrives late with
a takeaway coffee in hand. You could have been on

(24:01):
time if you didn't stop for that coffee, and.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
You could have got me one.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, you know exactly. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, be late,
but give give me something. Yes, Christian, you you're a
cat lover. Does this happen with Larry? When you step
over the cat Just as you're halfway through the move,
the cat suddenly moves every single time.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
They know what they're doing. They're working in cahoots with
my family. I think to claim in the insurance if
I fall down the stairs. It looks natural.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Rhea. What's the thing for you that makes you go guru?

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Okay, the Australian cricket team have given me a lot
over the past ten days. But I do have a
big gripe with them that I need to share.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
The English cricket team.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
Shirts all tucked in, they all look very proper, all
very well put together. The Australian team a team of
cereal scruffy collars.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I'm working.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
This is cricket. It's a game of order history. The
esthetics matter.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
Yes, it is a gentlemanly game.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
And especially manus our number three batsmen, your collar is
always scruffy.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
I just want to reach you out through the TV
scream and flick it back down.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
Especially they've got a little yellow underside of it, so
it really stands out.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
No, it does once you see it. You can't see it, yes.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Observation like to protect his neck from the sun.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
Though No, no it's not. It's not fully popped up.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
It's just like a little side or a little this
one keeping high up for it on Thursday. You will
notice a scruffy collar standards.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Especially in the game of crickets.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
And thank you though for everything that the England cricket
team have capitulated on uniform standards, isn't one of them.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
No, they look pristine, They always look pristine. They're well presented.
As the game demands.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
It's a game of you know, neatness and tweediness and
precisions stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
The Aussies do look very scarffy.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
They look like, you know, some eighteen year old lads
who are going left formal.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
No one's borrow Dad's suit isn't.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Quite fit right, Yeah, the tiesal one key, you know,
it's got the little peanut that the proper winds are
not hands onneyed.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
It's like a nearly forty degree day and they're wearing
those thick cable knit Yeah jumpers.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
That's right. History demands it. History demands it.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Maybe in the UK, not here.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
It sounds like you're aready making an excuse me going
to lose this weekend that cable knit sweater, Alex. What's
it if you mate things that make yougo guru?

Speaker 8 (26:30):
When you go to the trouble of making a pot
of tea, not the tea bag, a pot of tea
and someone jumps the gun, doesn't let the tea stew
long enough, and it tastes all watery and wake.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
And they talk you to a talk in my language.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
First of all, start the elegance in the game of cricket,
and now the right kind of rules with tea. You're
right when it comes out and it's all too milky,
teas revolting.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Oh the worst.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's got to be at least five minutes. And also,
if you're going to be using a tea bot, here's
how it works. You always have one tea bag for
each person who's going to be drinking from it, so
there's two of you. Then you know, two two tea bags.
Then you have what I always was raised to have,
one as a gift to the pot itself.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Out, so you need do you do that? Yes? One
for the pots? Well, are you darling? One for myself?
You go.

Speaker 8 (27:16):
Bunny's dad always jumps the gun, always pause it too early.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
No, no, you've got to be waiting at least three
to five minutes, and then I will give it three
rotational clockwise, stirs as well, then put the lid back on.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Then poor, well really, and do you pour it all
in one go or do you put it back a bit?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
I pour that delicious in this breakfast or berries all
in one go? Is if you like some sort of
you know, tom cruise and cocktail.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
I sort of do it once and then I'd put
it back again, just the steward a bit more and
then back in again.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Do you know what, maybe next year we should get
designed some spoke Christian o'connells show.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Just give away some tea pots. People would love those.
I like that.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yes, yes, can you make bespoke ones? Could someone do that?
Just suddenly got this image of Josh, you joined the
show yesterday from reception, suddenly just sort of painting them.
You listen, you got to start in radio somewhere, Josh.
You know, painting teapots is a good break for some
young kid.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
That's where all the best dj started.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's how Stern started doing it, you know, all right?
Thing to make you go.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Girl, the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
By the way, I've just actually just googled bespoke tailor
made teapots. I've come up with a design for the
Christian O'Connell's show teapots for next year. Let me picch
it to you, guys. It's a teapot that are that
looks like a radio. So the spout is the antenna,

(28:55):
the lid is like the tuning die. Obviously it's old
fashioned radio. Do you know when you just have to
tune the radio. Then suddenly the cracker would stop and
you'd hear someone's voice and stuff like that. I need
to find someone listen will somewhere. Some of the prices
I've seen it too expensive for this show's budget. We
don't need bone china ones. We need some cheap poe

(29:15):
alternative ceramical. What's even cheaper than that?

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Cheaper than cheaper than clay.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
I'm not sure you got any plastic ones.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
But what about for the handle? That's going to be
a searingly hot radio to pick up? It needs some
sort of handle.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well, some A lot of those radios they have some
kind of carry thing, don't they. Yes, Yes, so Rio,
let me just put it back to you the handle.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Is the handle problem solved? Yeah? Maybe that's the show
details or the website or something.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Is there our socials hashtag Sharon like subscribe.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Kristian things.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You may go Guru now, Rio marks on the time
whist they're coming for your heart today, by the way, Rio.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Bring it on.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah. There've been days though when you go gold plus
and then he gives the big price to someone who
just got a gold Yes, we are li Christian and
making notes.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yes, that did happen once there was a It happens
a lot. Sometimes I get flustered at the end of
the show.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Well, the old old mate used to do well. He
was flustered during the whole show.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
He was flustered from Six Christian things that make me
go grow and no one uses their indicators anymore. That's
from Derek Naturally. Christian things that drives me crazy is
the office manager at the school I working turns down
the temperature on our giant mega tea earn because she
doesn't feel it needs to be boiling all day and
it costs sense.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Oh wow, when I go.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
We've got we're on white people like that, it's your
boss called Sue. Then I make a Are I going
to make a cup of tea? Oh and if my
teacher so I'm busy, I have to go to you
and get a quick cup of tea. Immediately a deep,
deep breath. That's just my happy thing. For a couple
of seconds, sip of that tea nearly split it across
the room because God no, it's lukewarm.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yes, ruins my day and the kids end up.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
With a grum pe teacher. Christian thing makes me go good?
I don't even realize it, but apparently when I'm chewing
foods loudly, my partner tells me up, but she choos
chips loud like, come on, babe, you can't tell me off?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Do you know what? Why don't we start.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
A weekly feature where people can tell their partners off.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
And I'm happy to do that on air.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yes, I know what this show is about, unity, about
bringing people together, but maybe just once a week, just
add a little bit division.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Yes, no, no, no, it's healthy to get things out
of there.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Caleb here once says, you know, just have a little
you know, just me to have a go as missus Like,
come on, babe, you can't say that Caleb's chewing noisy
when when you have hot chips, it's a party in
them up, We're all invited. Calen, what's the thing that
makes you go go mate?

Speaker 14 (31:59):
The thing that makes me go gir right now is
the fact that we've hitt into summer, which means that
I am going to have to mow my lawn every
single weekend.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
And I have a huge block. So we've just bought
a house and.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Fancy and I am complete Mayors of web.

Speaker 14 (32:23):
Understand, I'm not loaded I did where I did.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Buy, but.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Where we gets a bad old rep.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
We really do, We really really.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Pats lives there. So that's like you know that it's
a double blow immediately.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Isn't it The first thing people said when we moved
to melwan dog go to.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
It is a massive block, though, Caitlyn, You've got a
huge like traditional.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Block outdoor Saunay, you know, still.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Waiting for the invite for that.

Speaker 14 (32:57):
And because it's an older house, it only covers half
the block, so the other half is all.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Down to abbey essentially. Don't you get right on?

Speaker 14 (33:06):
I know, I wish thousands of dollars whereas.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
You've got so much money. Yeah, you couple.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Also, why don't if it's such a large, big ass block,
why don't you rent it out to campus's camp sign
got that infrared sauna.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's quite packaged.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You to work together. You can have caravans on it.
Maybe have a festival as well.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
We are going to actually you could undercut.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
The old Wary Mansions's backyard.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Actually, I'm gonna make a note of a festival.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
My panel will die weary fast in bread Fest Kissing
Cousins Fest. It is one of the one of the
one of the joys of winters that you don't need
to cut the grass. It just maintains that that sort
of length is perfectly you're right with summer. And and

(34:02):
also you've got a dog, same as me, Kate, and
you you don't go out and cut the grass. You've
gotta go and mind sweep otherwise. And I've done this
summy times. Suddenly you hit a hidden, fun sized mars
bar and that roby dispatches it all over your bare
legs and.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
The smell of.

Speaker 14 (34:21):
Yeah, but we're having to do it like literally once
a week, So we'll mow it and I reckon the
next day. It's already grown an inch. And it's the
one thing that fucking does my head in because.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
My part you don't do it city.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Down my freaking I'm sitting here on my rocking chair
of stoop chine the tobacco with a shotgun.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
I got my gator.

Speaker 10 (34:59):
Here.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
What what it does? What does what you're going?

Speaker 11 (35:04):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (35:04):
You preach? That's the way that Katee is just discovered.

Speaker 15 (35:10):
Grass, mate, grass grows, grass grows thees a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
What is the last thing that drives you crazy?

Speaker 4 (35:24):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Well, you went it just oh sorry, that was like
a kind of spoken mic drop.

Speaker 14 (35:31):
Yes exactly.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
I'm all right, okay, Now I love.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
That Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
It's been googling things that you can see from space.
Obviously it's a great Water China and it's Caitlin's backyard.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
The other thing.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Obviously slily bigger than the Great Water China. This is
a lovely message, Christian. I'm Mal Simpson up and listen
to you via the podcast since earlier this year. I'm
blind and I live in the outer Northwest suburbs of
Sydney and in the footballs or the Blue Mountains. Looking
forward to you guys coming here next years. Been a
tough few years. Listen to you in the team always

(36:08):
brings a spar to my face. However, I'd love to
hear a lot more of Caitlin on the podcast. That's great,
you're right, keep her on the podcast and less on.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
The big show. You're quite right.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
We could have more of those ideas that she comes
up with. The big idea she pitched last week of
a big phone in for an hour of how Long
did you Wait for your flight? Let's have that as
a podcast. Extra great idea. Have you time I hear
a bubbly, outgoing voice, it makes me smile.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
We all feel all that too. That's lovely.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Male things make me go Guru Christian. I can say
I'm blind, so I have a support marker. When she
takes from the the shop assistant always addresses my support
work instead of me, like I'm invisible. The worst thing
is this that when people just stop suddenly in the street,
that drives all of us mad, and then my support
work has to guide me around them while they just
stand and stare.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I reckon.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
If I had a support worker like Caitlin for a
day and that loud personality of hers, she probably sought
out a few of these rude shop assistants and a
few footpath dwellers. Hey listen, if you want me to
lend Caitlin to you for the day, happy to do.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
That a week. Hey, come on, we need the mac
attack we do all right now?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Okay, guys, guys, guys, guys, what have we stepped on?

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Play the audio company?

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Heart step up let gangster Shug? What a tune just
just fires you up to them? All right, guys, what
have you trot? What have you stepped on?

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Pats wild animal fish.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
I have stepped.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
On a rival's next.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
A sting ray once up in Queensland in the shallows
of the water, and it was obviously very very docile.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
This thing was massive.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
It was like a meet up, a dosele mode loading
around and the.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Afternoon and a little bit dozy having a little nap
there in the shallow she was.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Having a little siesta and I've walked in and stepped
on him and I thought, oh my god, I didn't
see him. I just saw like this shadow of this
diamond shape with its tail, and he was obviously very
friendly because he kind of just floated off after I
took my foot off him.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
It was crazy. He feared you.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Yeah, probably probably had.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
That first foot throats. It's a warning warning shot.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
I've also stood on a nail once when I was
a kid.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Like that was on remember anything rusty that cut the skin.
We always rushed to hospital to go and have the tatness.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
It was massive, big needle. I think that was worse pain,
like a met long.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
She treed on a needle. It's obviously like six foot
am I thinking about it. I was trod on a
javelin guys. It went through the so of my foot
into my up to our eyeballs.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
It was just so yeah, really painful, horrible horror.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Yeah, listen, she didn't Alpapatsy stories are absolute.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Just I reckon. The truth rate is. I don't mind.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
I'm here for it. But sometimes it's like it was
in now and they just got bigger massive. You should
have seen the one that got away.

Speaker 6 (39:34):
Have you ever had a boat?

Speaker 4 (39:36):
The technic needles are massive.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
The proper old school needles.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
They were ruler like it was, you know, not even
like a plastic one.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
It was like stainless steel.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Scar as well. Also, there was none of that that
fancy numbing cream they give you straight in bang. There
was that look the other way, sucking the tears.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Can I be the first entry anonymously in your idea
of outing annoying partner habits?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Working title partner patrol, you know until we be going
a patrol and you can report your partner anonymously. You know,
I can tell them off. You're innocent, you're fine going.
He must have been having a go at another suasan.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
No I didn't. I didn't message him or is it
red flag.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Radio, or my partner the problem, or the so what
I'm doing during soft cell? The hate that song? Or
the blame game? What do we like, guys, Partner Patrol?

Speaker 6 (40:39):
I like Partner Patrol. You're a bit too good at
making up names for this.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Jesus and right now and we will never entered this.
I've got no problem red flag radio votes my partner
the problem. That's what it is, doesn't it? The blame game?

Speaker 6 (41:02):
I like my partner the problem?

Speaker 1 (41:04):
Okay, yeah, yeah, over a part of the Patrol. I
could just hear the whoo who.

Speaker 7 (41:11):
You got me back in with the sound effects. I'm
back on Partner Patrol.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Oh no, I'll tell you what we do both. Hey,
it's time for this week's Partner Patrol. Well, well where
you tell us it's my partner the problem? Per Okay, guys,
that we had that meeting, Okay, what have you trod on?

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Christian? My husband? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
My husband once wasn't enough. But anyway, we can have
too much of a good thing. It's like a sweet dessert.
My husband stood on a needle and it snapped off
on his foot and he has to have three days
in hospital.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
Strong feet though, Yes, that's rough.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Christian, My daughter stepped on a sea urchin. It took
days to get all the spikes out. It was like
having five hundred splinters, poor thing on the bottom of
our foot. She was screaming in my ear the whole time.
That's a lovely dad there moaning about that.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
Shut up my daughter and the problem.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, all right, that's that's another one there.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
All right, let's get a Mark. Now it's got a
crazy story. Come morning, Mark, Morning, Christian, Morning team.

Speaker 15 (42:12):
How is everyone?

Speaker 1 (42:13):
We're good, Welcome to the show. Mark. So what did
you stand on?

Speaker 16 (42:17):
I stood on an apple while I was running, and
as you can imagine, it didn't end well.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Oh god, so you would have liked just gone over.
I guess the momentum of you running down the apple
sliding under.

Speaker 16 (42:28):
I heard more of a crack than wondered what it was,
and then felt this atrocious pain and stopped running straight away,
sat on the ground. My ankle and foot sort of
blew up straight away, and long story shorts broke my
foot in two places and tore all the ligaments and tendons.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Oh my god, you poor guy. It's awful.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Once you were reading a certain age, now you fear
something that's happening because you know this is a year.

Speaker 16 (42:53):
Oh look, to be honest, that was probably two years
before my foot.

Speaker 17 (42:57):
Yes, what I call normal again?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Yes, what's the pink that's going to be? Granny Smith?

Speaker 17 (43:06):
Absolutely no idea.

Speaker 16 (43:08):
I didn't off and sort of analyze what's wrong.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
You miss an opportunity of there. Mate.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
We'll have a think about it today during your tea
break or lunchtime or something.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
But my money's on a Granny Smith. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
They're double basters, those grannies that are nonnas of the
apple world. You do not mess with the Granny Smith.
They will snap your tendence off.

Speaker 16 (43:29):
Stonefish what I called the apple, but I'm sure it's
not a variety that's not common.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Love it mark, great story, Thank you very much.

Speaker 18 (43:40):
I have a good day.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
Thanks guys.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
No, it is I dread now, like even going up
a ladder. I keept what he's scared, because I think
if I've fallen off this thing, it's a year of recovery.
You know, I hurt my arm early this year, and
it's I just have to accept the fact I'm never
ever going to be one hundred percent for the rest
of my life.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
Is this when you went on the monkey bars.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Yeah, just doing the parallel gyps rio.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
They can't mend me, couldn't put Humpty back together, and it's.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Never going to be okay.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Stephen's on the line. Welcome Steve O. Hell are we
We're good?

Speaker 1 (44:18):
All right?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
So Mark trodden apple and smashed his foot to pieces.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
What did you do, Stephen? What did you stand on?

Speaker 18 (44:26):
Do you remember my girls love Strawberry Shortcakes, the little characters? Yeah,
And it was about three in the morning. I was
up doing something for the kids and pitch dark. I
was still on a Strawberry Shortcakes and broke mortal toe
and actually went the sideways and I had to wake

(44:50):
it back in and.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Actually, don't be tough. This is you can leave it.

Speaker 18 (44:59):
And now I've got a deformed poe. And the doctors
really couldn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Kind have a lazy hoss.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Doctor, just stay science now what they can do. They
could punch off limbs. Now science and medicine can't app
you mate.

Speaker 18 (45:18):
Yeah, yeah, small girl.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Unfortunately they got microscopes and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
When he broke his toe and then he smacked it again.
The doctor can only help you so much.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
I love all the heart.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
This this all went on where your family are asleep.
It's three am. You're a guy, bring your toe. It's
a great story, and you're right that that three four
am is when mums and dads are at highest risk

(45:53):
of standing on lego. I once trod on the head
of a baby Annabelle and twisted my ankle really woody badly.
Baby Annabell was this toy that was around about I
don't know, about fifteen years ago.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
What was a freaky.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Doll that was marketed as been just like an actual
baby and so had this horrible sort of glassy blinky eyes,
and it would also wet itself.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
What would that be good?

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
But anyway, I trod on this thing about after in
the morning once and sadly, with the impact of my foot,
it snapped its head off.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
So I then had to leave and go and do
the breakfast show. And so do take it? This is
you could you not have tried to repair it?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
You can't let the baby animals accidently decapitated. The kids
are crying and screaming. Plus I hated Baby Annabelle. The
kids thought I just got up one more, just.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Snap his nke off. They're going to be in therapy
for years.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
About that The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
So the last couple of weeks, so I've been taking
on the journey that my family going through. When I
say my family, it's actually my wife and I. The
house that he brought when moved here seven years ago.
Now the we are this year emptinss's. It's it's too big,
and so we move out next week and we are downsizing.
And I've had to you obviously last a couple of

(47:19):
weeks ago, we've heard me get rid of my beloved speakers.
There's no group of the speakers. People think I'm moving
into some sort of cubbyhole.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
I sound like it.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
So I meant some listening to the street.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
The other day, she goes that is it going to
be okay, you've got no room for an office or no,
I'm getting a small, small desk in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
It's going to be my office. You know that she
is a big year for the for the for the
show can be running a national radio.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Show from my bedroom, you know, doing deals with Nike
and people like this and Spielberg and stuffing like that.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Go away. Is that is that your bedroom behind you.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Now, this is the saddest thing we're getting rid of.
Hard to get rid of, my speakers, But this is
the couch. This couch has been in my family for
ten years. When we moved here, got shoved into a
ship and container because it was the Count when I
when I first got this Count is a beautiful velvet
four seater Chesterfield.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Perhaps you're not on talking about, and Alex.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Will not chester Beans one of those grand old woman's handmade.
And so when we got this couch ten years ago,
my daughters Ruby and Lewis were nine and eleven. They're
now nineteen and twenty one. And this is my wife
and I on this way too big a couch. It
is a couch of a thousand stories. And in fact,
I remember a couple of weeks after my first daughter

(48:36):
moved out and it was just me on the couch.
It was, oh my god, this is the beginning of
the next phase of our life. I was trotting and
finding the remote control, and I was going down the
back of the cushions and I found a folded up
Calipo wrapper. Now, previously both the kids would just dump
their wrappers on the counch.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
She used to drive me crazy. This It actually touched me.
I was like, my god, it's still there. I put
it back down there. I'm going to keep the wrapper
down there.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
So what I'd love to do is we were just
going to put it on Facebook marketplace.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I don't want to go into a stranger. It's still
in great condition.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
It's very clear where I sat on the couch, and
by one of that means I've.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Got very powerful glutes.

Speaker 6 (49:16):
I can see that. Actually in the phono, my.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Wife caused me glutamus maximus, but that's between us. But
it's very clear the indentation where my area was far right,
always on the fire right. So I'd like my family
and I would really love to give this couch to
a family that have got kids, and you're gonna make
your own Stories're gonna have birthdays on. They're gonna laugh
on their watch movies, laugh, cry, argue Christmas as we've

(49:42):
had on there. They all set the couch. I sit
opposite the couch picking up all the wrapping paper and
folding into bin bag.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Dad is an official dad job.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
So to help sell this to the future family, and
this would be a couch for someone's Christmas this year.
So We've had so many stories on this couch. What
would be the new story of this couch? Have you
got two young boys, you've got girls? What have you got?
So if you'd like a beautiful family couch, there's been
a great home for us when watching hanging out together
for last ten years. We'd love it to go to

(50:11):
a family or anyone who wants it. It's in great condition.
It's a big old beast tune off meters. It's a
four seater Chesterfield. Let's plays Rio's song to sell.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Now grow into a bigger family couch and what have
you got the moment you've got a your cram together,
you've got a little three seater or what's the situation.

Speaker 17 (51:48):
So we've got a three seater which we actually moved
in the back of my husband's station wagon, so we
folded down of the back seats and he squished up
the front. He's six to five, so that wasn't very easy.
He looks like a cartoon character, but it was. It
was really worth it. But yeah, we haven't actually had
like our own, you know, proper family couch. We've been

(52:11):
looking at maybe updating anyway, now that we're out of
that sloppy baby stage.

heard it on the radio.

had my daughters on it, so I think it would
be the world to us to know it's going to it.

We really wanted it to go to a family with
some young kids. It's been a great and these things.
Couches are the center point of families. People never talk
about this. You spend so much time on there, snuggled up.
You hear their stories, whether they've had a good day
or bad day at school.

They lie on them.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
It's a bed sometimes, honestly, so much of your so
