you'll know it's like this really awful, pungent smell.

Actually produces there's some toe jam on the floor now,
terrible mural that is now team. What do you know
about I went to pick up some carpet samples yesterday.
My wife go, oh, well, that's just kicking girls, because
I guess my wife is getting Chris. Can you go

(08:19):
to Brownwells please? And I don't even know what that
is a carpet place. You know we've got our carpets
from them over the last couple of years. Went have
we I just need to pick up some samples. They
know you're coming, are going there, and there are these
carpet samples, and then they make a terrible error. They
started to give me extra ones and go look, I
know your wife, Sarah called it head. She wanted this one,
this one. We've chuch an extra couple ones. What do

(08:41):
you think of these? Well? What are you doing? I said,
it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant what I think. I said, don't
ever ask me that ever again. It's a waste of
my time and a waste of yours. I said, I
do have a preference, but and I shed it with
my wife later and she went, that's wrong. I mean
somehow suspected that's right.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I didn't know you could have a wrong preference.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
No, you can't, because you know what, it's not my wife. Anyway.
When I go into this this harp it showroom, right
there is a dog of that make and model I've
never seen before. Beautiful old thirteen year old dog called Bert.
I reckon. He's hired in as a sales ploy. Like
you come to Pat Burke next. You know you've got

(09:24):
a new carpet, great genius technique. Anyway, he's I said,
oh my god, what a beautiful dog. They said, he's
an Ossie Shepherd dog. Now I really missed. We had
a German Shepherd dog. It got very ill suddenly last
year and we actually put down. I really miss having
a proper, proper dog. A German Shepherd dog is a dog.
We have this toy poodle that is not a dog.

(09:45):
It's a cat with an attitude problem that I'm expected
to walk. And I miss my dog, a proper dog
shaped dog. And I saw Bert and I came down
close to kidnapping him and just picking up the cards.
And I buy the carpets. Ozzie Shepherd dog, Do you
know much about them? And they high maintenance. This is
a beautiful looking.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Breed, gorgeous.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
What color are they again?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
It was a kind of a light brown, ready shadow,
almost safe like honey, golden.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
God and longed.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, beautiful coat on him. Bert, beautiful dog. So anyway,
I did what we all do are quickly googled OSSI dogs.
First video I come to is this one.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
This is Olympus, my asteroid and Chappard through the craziness
of raising him for five years. Now, I've learned that
these dogs aren't what most people think. I mean, there's
a reason why they're infamously called ossholes.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Maybe not my next dog and oshole great term of
abuse bottle. It's a new swear word I'm going to use.
It's incredible. But if anyone has one of these dogs
an osshole and shoved all, please warn me off if

(11:02):
they're a bad idea, because Bert is obviously a thirteen
year old, well behaved one. But really, now, I haven't
got the time and energy finally become an empty nester
to take on something which is probably worse than a
top in terms of training one for the next two
or three years. It's like, I can't be doing that.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
You can't be dealing with osholes?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, no, no, Can you just buy dogs at five
when someone else's house train them like a pre trained one.
If anyone let me know about these dogs, please let
me know. Fall seven five three one O four three The.

Was it really the nineties nineties, because it would have
been after nineteen eighty four, I said.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Nineteen. No, I just heard four, and that's for me.
At least we now know when it was. Alex just
said eighty four. You're quite an inkling in it. Yeah.
I was a big Wham fan fan, had all the
albums and amember the having this on vinyl on the

(14:10):
B side was just an instrumental version of it. And
I remember having an early almost girlfriend and she said,
you know, maybe we'd work on the school project together
and I could come back to your house after school.
I didn't realize she actually did mean working school, so
I said, I put some music on. She was like, fine,
I put on the B side instrumental. She packed up

(14:35):
a school bag and said, actually, I need to get
home a smart girl. And then as I watched walk
down out of my house and out of my life, effectively,
I put that B side back on to be alone
with the pain. Oh godly an.

Speaker 10 (14:55):
In the school project or what was it mean? Or
was it the instrumental careless wisper I caught it to
four on a Tuesday afternoon. We will never know. We
were never the sliding doors moments of life eighteen. All right,
let's go to this classic sick won the Great Modern Family,
not a single bad episode, eleven seasons, and when it

(15:16):
ended one of the best hair endings to a long
running six Oh god. It was a couple of years
before my wife and I became empty nesters, and I
realized we've been watching this sitcom as our kids were
getting older, and they were like the kids.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
That we've been watching. They were a couple of years
away from moving, and they did it so beautiful, so touching.
Last episode. Hard for long running sitcoms to end it right,
Cheers did it brilliantly. Seinfeld, which is my number one
favorite comedy, didn't end very well at all. But guys,
Modern Family, when was it first launched?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Eight?

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Wow?

Yeah, she was huge. Yeah, this song since you've been gone?
This play next was absolutely massive, wasn't it. Yeah, it's
a it's a prince. I can't believe that's two thousand
and four.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Now she's got a talk show now, yes.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's very huge. All right, let's go. Now, let's end
with a great movie. See a Laddie, Oh, Prince Sally.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, that's been crap.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Sesar salad, do bout.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Ah a rade. This is a master class when when
you can't see the greatness of Robin Williams, she's still
he is the movie yeh to say as apparently yes,
and improvised so much. There's sixteen hours of extra material.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
That must'a in the art.

Yes, eight movies work them just extra stuff. What was

just guessing ninety.

Speaker 1 (17:34):

grosser movie of nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Alex, you saw the Metal Detectorists then off Melbourne yesterday
down the beach? I did? I saw two of them.

Speaker 9 (17:54):
I don't know if they were working in tandib or not.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't think they are. I think it's a lone
wolf activity, that is it. And they don't like it
when when I'm walking a dog down the beach down
in Soudringham and I see them. They don't like when
they encroach on each other. It's like planes, we shouldn't
get each other spaces. It can be the clanking of
the detectoring or whatever in that thing.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
Are they covering each other's ground?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, they're thinking if somebody else has missed something, and
maybe I've got a deeper one that's right.

Speaker 9 (18:20):
Perhaps one had a shovel yesterday. I thought that was
very impressive.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
They find it in that sound.

Speaker 12 (18:24):
Other than dog, he said, I found a lot of
predecimal coins, Cord.

Speaker 9 (18:30):
You've had some pennies, did you, Champion.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
It always strikes me as quite a forlorn thing. They're
expensive as well. Yeah, well they look expensive.

Speaker 12 (18:41):
And he had a really really flash one he had
fixed to his arm and had a little screen on it.
He had his little dog there as well, running around.
That's what sort of caught my son's attention.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Max.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
The mean age of those people, I'm saying middle age
often with uns.

Speaker 13 (18:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's it's a middle aged person. It's like when you
look at your life and suddenly there's someone sort of
in DNA that waits. Someone goes tied to Hendle the
beach with a metal detector looking for a pre decimal coins.
It's Monday. That's it, Maureen. I went back to a dark.

Speaker 13 (19:15):
And the stink on this beach as well where you were, Yes,
an inaudible, the smell of Port Melbourne coming across. It's
beautiful and all this seaweed just rotten and naked seagulls.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, and the seaholders. This seaweed has all been dumped
on the beach at the moment. It stinks. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (19:32):
And he told me that happens a lot, and I
was like, oh, okay, yeah, it's going to clear up
in a few days.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I was like, okay, thanks, that's great.

Speaker 9 (19:37):
But I don't know, I thought, is it is it
worth doing this metal detectoring?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I guess it's a hobby.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
Is it something that can earn you some I guess
you get all the joy.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
If you find something. Yeah. In England though, what gives
them hope here? Is it in England? Obviously? Under the
ground there they have found like Roman coins and the
high villages and ships and weapons. You're not going to
get that hit. It is just going to be a
good day. It's maybe pretty simple coin, it isn't the same.

(20:06):
And this this is some Caesar found this today. There's
a great British comedy called The Detectorists about two middle
aged men Mackenzie Crook who was in the UK series
of The Office Gareth and great with the chatter called
Toby Jones. Is very very funny. It's about all right,

(20:29):
we got some thank you to say here at the moment.
The big thing that's are important in our hearts on
the show and in lots of people's hearts as well.
Thousands of you who who have donated for a really
important charity called Backpacks for vic Kids. This charity exists
for one thing, to give backpacks to these little children
and were taken from a dangerous home situation, often in

(20:51):
the middle of the night, for their own safety. They
are when they're taken, they often have nothing on them
or nothing with them, so they get them a backpack
with a lot of the bear essentials in them. We've
heard from people who had to give these backpacks. The
reaction from these children is huge. Each backpack cost charity
one hundred dollars, So anything you can donate with us
ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty cover an entire back paint

(21:14):
one hundred dollars is amazing. The charity came to us
three weeks ago asking for help because they just didn't
have enough donations. The cost of living is so bad
at the moment people aren't unable to donate to charities,
not because they don't care, they're just not able to.
It's been eight days, almost eight days that we've been
fundraising with you guys, and it is amazing people to

(21:34):
say it's up to one hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars.
I got this email this was yesterday afternoon from Sally,
who founded this charity in her kitchen. Christian and Melbourne
had to rub my sleepy eyes a few times yesterday morning.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing and tears world up.

We've got Kathy Brooke Wendy Malcolm, Katie Luka and also Melissa,
who says what amazing work Backpacks for Big Kids does.
Always happy to help kids in need and knowing I
can help in some way put a smile on their faces.
I'd most likely spend this money on junk I don't need,
so why not donate to a worthy cause. Thank you

(24:34):

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Beautiful words. Thanks Plantcy, Alex Suvi, You've got.

Let's get it to two hundred thousand by the end
of this week. If you haven't donated yet, please do
five ten dollars. Whatever you can give already helps. Okay,
every ten dollars they turn into forty dollars worth of value.
One dollar to this charity they get four dollars worth
of value. So if it is ten dollars, don't be
a shame. Please don't need to apologize for that. That

(25:28):
means forty dollars. That's almost half a backpack. The pace
you need to go to to find out more and

Also on today's show them Day two ahead of Father's
Day this Sunday, What a Dad Wants I was the
outpouring of emails yesterday depressing it. Finally, someone in the
world is simply said to all fellow dads, what would
you like? Is that? What me? Since you ask? I

(26:06):
do have a heart every hour so many beautiful emails
from dads from kids on behalf of their dad's partners,
saying what their husbands would like. It seem incredible, so
many amazing stories. We've got one thousand dollars a day
to actually give dads what you actually want. Before that, though,

(26:28):
small thing, big rage, small things? What is a small
thing that gives you big rage? Message me now yours
four seventy five three one four three moving our twenty
one year old taught to Ruby over the weekend and
getting her all sorted out, the washing machine plumbed in,
and then the dreaded thing. Even if Buddy was around

(26:50):
these days, he would struggle with these three letters NB men,
oh no, oh god, hey.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Just going pale.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
I actually felt it. Blood is training from me, The
rage is training from me. Didn't work of us? You
know you plug it in the wall, of course not.
It's a miracle if it does. And then ringing someone
who just doesn't care. And the best, sorry mate, the
best you can offer us. Can you turn it on
and off? They've done that. I have to send you
an engineer out. Great, when's he coming? Oh two weeks time? Wonderful.

(27:23):
She's a student, she needs to study. That's a laptop.
What she meant to use for two weeks.

Speaker 9 (27:28):
Ah, we went through this, we moved is the worst?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yes, technology rage and then the yeah, the engineer is
going to be there September between seven am and five Right,
that's all day. It's two days. Which bit of it
you mean? Message an hour or two beforehand? Has he
got a rough idea when he's coming round?

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Why is it so hard when you move into Why
isn't just the same one? Why doesn't Why don't we
all just agree everyone just leave your internet when you
leave the house and no one would ever have a problem.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
So the black box was still there, but someone had
taken the cable. I'm afraid to say. It was my
job to get it all set up, and it wasn't
untill the next day. My daughter rings been going, Remember
you said you couldn't get it working. How do you
think it was going to get the signal? She went,
there was no cable. They might have like chipped in

(28:21):
a jaca. That's the cable. And they were so outful, right,
and they were great there they gave me the cable
for and I was like I walked in like I
solved the common gold. Actually the cable, I went, don't
my Dad's going to fix this bug it in. Let's
get this fired up? How many how many other people

(28:45):
around the country are shouting at that? Why is it
so shunky here?

Speaker 5 (28:49):
And yes, well there's a whole I mean it's a
big story.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
He should be plugged into the wall. Anyway, Thank you
for listening to my rage. Ria. What's yours?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Mine is?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
When you are pulling out, you first put Google Maps
on you're pulling out, and it says.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Head where head north? Head south.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Way?

Speaker 4 (29:12):
That is I'm not Christopher Columbia.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
What's you south?

Speaker 5 (29:16):
What I'm going to do, lady, is drive whatever way
I'm facing and you figure it out after that set
because I have no idea what way west is from.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I notice, by the way, I had to set a timer.
I was cooking yesterday and on that beat on your
phone work it's like a timer countdown or the time
around the world. It's got compass on there. Who is
using this ancient technology on the modern phone? I was.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
I didn't even know it was on there. Who requires this?
I need to head on a latitude bearing.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Of me my phone?

Speaker 11 (29:47):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Actually a chronometer a section? Is there? A section? I
can have a sundi Alex, what's your small thing, big rat? Oh.

Speaker 9 (29:57):
This is kind of technology related as well.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
But every time I drive.

Speaker 12 (30:00):
Under those tram cables, I lose radio reception. It's so annoying,
like it's a really good song or like a sports
break and a new.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
He's just speaking for the latest song. I never know
the blues letting him go.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Be able to just on my phone.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I'm a waiting hour. I got my compass on this phone.

Speaker 12 (30:27):
I went forward and backwards the other day just to
try and get the reception. So the person in front
of me just me. He was listening to his own sports.

Speaker 9 (30:33):
If I go a bit further, no, no, I'm losing
it again.

Speaker 12 (30:36):
I was like to go with the area and the
TV era you know you s yes, that was me
in my car with the radio.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
You're like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future.

Speaker 12 (30:45):
That cocktails the same spot every time, and I have
to go and pick up Max from Kindy every time
and it's always that same spot.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
So it's very frustrated. It's funny when you get to
really know a new areas where you know the black
spots are for the phone as well, because now I'm
sometimes if I'm talking to people, I go hang on
entering the black spot, back out of it now. So
what will be saying when you already know an eric? Perhapsy,
what's it for you?

Speaker 7 (31:11):
I haven't someone in the office again, No, it's at
home this time. I'm a member of the family who
likes to leave the stickers off fruit, just in unusual
places in the house. So it might be on the
yesterday it was on the chopping board. Sometimes it's under
the table. Sometimes it's on the bedside table, wherever they
might be at their desk.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
You must have a prime suspect in mine.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
Oh I've got one, Yes, maybe the younger member of
a family.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I heard under the table.

Speaker 10 (31:38):
Yes, right, okay, it's either boogers there or those little stickers.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
What the point of them?

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Why have them?

Speaker 6 (31:46):
We need to know where our fruit's from.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
But because it does, what does every single apple in
the batch need a sticker? Why can't it just be
like the whole batch, this is from the bag and
that's enough.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
We're about to buy into an apple. Go bloody else
and Fiji back to Fiji with your apples? Was the apples?
It's gone to march?

Speaker 9 (32:11):
Put the stickers on. Is there a person employed to
put them on?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Must be be a robot somewhere, some poor tired humans
job is, But there's.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
British backpackers that have to come and do. That's how you.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Punish us for releasing rabbits and deer here and those
trees and give you hay fever. You'll have to pick
our raspberries now, all right? Text me or small thing
big rage O four seven five three one O four.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Three Christian O'Connell show on podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, you probably wonder if you listen to the show frequently,
what do I do with join the songs? It's non
stop work, non stop work, meditation, breath work, energy, alchemy
work and just during the killers making rio guess which
way is north, south, east and west? As I fired
up my compass, I've got it. I need to use
it on here he had no idea. Whichever's wouldn't have

(33:04):
been more wrong. And then on my the compass app
which is on your iPhone, it says that we're thirty
meters up in the air. We're on the second floor.
This is a tall building.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
This is not a tall building.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
What it's not ten meters a big tooll where you
said you were about ten or eleven minutes.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
I reckon about ten or eleven meters above. Now, wait,
what do you reckon?

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Fat Sy?

Speaker 7 (33:24):
You're definitely thirty meetings right now, we're on level two.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
There's no Kaitlyn, what's up? Oh?

Speaker 16 (33:32):
Sorry, No, I'm just totally agreeing that we are thirty
meters above.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
There is no way we're not ten meters. That's only
thirty foot Okay, we are.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
They're on Richard Hill. But no, but like to the ground.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, but still, I mean that's there's no way a
second story building is thirty meters.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
No, Alex, Alex, you've probably been in some bar tour buildings,
TV TV studios are always in big buildings.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
Only been here long enough to kind of no.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
But before you do sport, you say, other journalist, there's
a big story emoentory right now.

Speaker 9 (34:05):
I'll say twenty meters.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
Especially you know building it's deeper, like they.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Even walk up the stairs here. Yeah, they're deep for
the normal. It's a massive collusion because they're very wide.
I think this used to be what was in the.

Speaker 6 (34:23):
Plaki shirt factory. It was a Palaco shirt.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Factories and suously I'm high seiling to get all the
equipment and air cone in so it would actually be
a deeper floor than a traditional And.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
This floor is built up. I was here when they
moved the state years ago. They actually had to pull some.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
In to so we could see out the windows from
the studio because the windows were really high.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yeah, story, call love, what have you found? You look
smug like?

Speaker 5 (34:51):
As soon as I'm in the Palacco building height it
said the Plako building is not known for its height.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Okay, the only one. We're going to know this right
during their news and sport. Go and see the engineers.
They must have one of those sexted sex to measure
the elevation and pitch on this film. They would have
the equipment to do that. Okay, yeah, I now need
to know how hard. I don't know what I need
to know this, but now it's right now. The mosfew

(35:19):
is in a story. Do we know that?

Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's what I looked up and it says about a
two story building is about seven meters high.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Oh no, but this is higher than a building, if
you aren't saying, sorry, a house house? Yeah yeah, yeah, look.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Look at all times higher.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Okay, look at that we're overlooking houses, like we're lording up.
There's a second floor of there, I'm higher up. I'm like, oh,
I'm like a lifeguard. That's true.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
That is true.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
That is true. So I'm not. We're not We're not
on a standard building.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
I still don't think anywhere near thirty.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
The phone had told me where's north is? Why would
it lie to me?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Steve.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Steve Job's last work was making sure the elevation was
right on these devices. Anyway. Small thing, big rage, Christian
for me who's just from Lydia, and thank you very
much for what you said about the team and the show. Lydia.
Band aids you can never get them to fit the injury.
When it's the typically finger that's so hard.

Speaker 9 (36:10):
It always comes off when you wash your hand.

Speaker 10 (36:11):
Yes, or you bend, bend your hand or tend your
fist or anything, it pops off straight away. They need
a band aid hat, a top hat. Yes, idiot, you're right, Christian.
Small thing, big grades is some camera and trolley's at
the supermarket. When people leave what you think is a
one dollar coin in the coin stot turns out just

(36:33):
to be a metal washer.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
I didn't know you could hack it like that. Broady here,
small thing, big rades. People who drive fifteen to twenty
k under the speed limit in the right lane. That
drives everyone mad Pamela tail pats. The stickers on the
fruit are the barcode, so you can scan them at
the registered reiss.

Speaker 6 (36:50):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I was just scanning individually airput you put them.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Model all on the belt and then you select delicious.

Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yes, yes, I didn't know you could individually scan.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Now, fourty year old Keeling who listens to the show
every day on the way to school on the school
bus and if he misses it he gets a podcast,
has got I didn't know teenagers have a lot of age. Actually,
next week we should do a teenage version. Only a
small thing, big race. But it's to do with charges,
because there's one even Keenan needs to do a charge
a bit as a brother or sister or mom and

(37:20):
dad's stealing. Some of the worst fights my daughter had
about charges. Someone's stealing an otherwise you to give it,
especially Christmas Christian. When I have the HDMI cable on
my desk in just the write position for to connect,
and I plug it into my device and it turns
it off. God us, preach Keena and preach some more.

(37:45):
Thing big rages for me when people leave half the
foil wrapper on the butter, or when they open the
sour cream. How hard is it to tear it early off?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
You can pair it off, give it a lick and
then put it in there.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah. Christian pulling a shopping trolley out. Yes,
you'll find some even has left rubbish in the trolley
for someone else to take care of. Christian. One thing
I wonder when I hear the top of the Hours
and Rio says what the show number is? Did he
record like two thousand of them all in one day?
Or does he have to come in a lot about that?

(38:19):
This is Richard's question, right note? Or does he have
to come before you start on air and record a
brand new one? He does it live is the answer.
He does it live three times. Christian'small thing big range
when he opened up an app and it asks if
you're enjoying it? Oh?

Speaker 4 (38:34):
I hate that. Yes, I don't want to rate you,
I just want to use you.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah. And also what is it when you buy something
now you get like thirty emails a day? Say, how
was the ladder? How was your experience with this ladder?
Is a ladder? What do you want me to say?
You write you a letter about how wonderful it's going
up and down the ladder. We're not getting into a relationship.
It's a one night stand getting you all right. We

(38:58):
got the news on the way, go and find the
engineers and need to know we're thirty meters up.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Question my fourteen year old son Jack was to know
are you the person that picks some music or is
there someone else in the station that does that. I
tell you what I do. When I get in in
the morning, I get a load of like CDs of
the greatest hits in the last sort of twenty thirty years,
and I throw them all up in there and then
I kick them around the floor. However they land. I
just play those this morning. You would have had at

(39:28):
like just before the show Bony m raspucciin You've had
the Killers and now this banger from the eighties. I
hope that helps young Jack Rio. You went out to
the front of the building. It's a big ass building.
This We are high up on the second floor.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
It is higher than I thought. I still think I'm
more right than you are. I think it's closer to
ten tens than it is to thirty.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
A lot of people calling the shows and texting. There's
one guy who speaks to everyone, going, it's from sea level,
you dingbats? How many times you say that in the head?
Something something you dingbats? At least you're going to work
listen to us. You feel better about yourself. Oh my,
an instant sense of superiority, exact and you're welcomes that, Mark, Chris,

(40:13):
A small thing, big rage when you go to electronically
pay your bill online and it asked you to prove
your identity. Who is fortunately paying our bells? Mark? You're right.
I had to pay a parking find last week. I
had to prove I was human and me, who is
the Russian hackers doing this? Then please pake my parking fine.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
There used to be a system like that on the
Gold Coast.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
I think it was like they were like sexy ladies
in bikinis and they would walk around meter maids and
they would pay your parking fines for you.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
You're kidding.

Speaker 7 (40:45):
It's been like since the fifties. It's a Gold Coast tradition.
They wear the gold bikinis.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, it still happens, does it. That's what Alex did
for job in between.

Speaker 9 (40:58):
I heard her income and the old place of this one.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Don't judge.

Speaker 9 (41:00):
I had to feed my family.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
It's just a hell of a looking a mankin and
drew in the winter, there's shrinkage morning games. Things be
great on the gold cust. When you go to the
toilet and there's no toilet paper on the low roll
at work none in dispenser, you have to do the
walk of shame, like the back to your chair or
to the cupboard at work, it back in it if

(41:26):
you haven't white.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
No, you just got to scream that for help.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Oh that's all like a damage in distress. But you're
going to yell out for one of us. Yes, I'm sorry,
you're I'm not coming here. Well, I'm not coming back
in by then, stay out there, stay there. Christian, you
said how there needs to be hats for injured fingertips
because band aids don't do them. You can just cut

(41:51):
four diagonal slits from the corners of a square cut plaster.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
I'm not going to do that, just make the top
had mandate.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Especially with kids to rushing to get them, there is
bleeding out. You've got time for this, all right, Let's
get into today's day two. What a dad once?

Speaker 4 (42:09):
What a dad once? What a dad means? Something better?

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Dance us and heygees, I'm asking you so.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Calling and tell me everything. This week it's a public
service for fellow dads. What would you actually want? Kids?
If you're listening, you can call it right now. The
lines are open right now. Thirteen fifty five twenty two.
What would your dad love? We have one thousand dollars
a day to treat dads this week. Yes. In the show,
Bella called Essendon memorabilia for her die hard Bomas fan dad.

(42:45):
My baby bit about that was because obviously everyone should
leave that club at the moment. Is that someone someone
after we chatted to Better and said you can absolutely
have that, said I've got a load of mber it
she can have for free. Free. People are offloading the
glory days. Crystal wanted that they've got six kids. You
remember Crystal say they got six kids and her husband

(43:07):
just wanted this windows tinted. We got that done. Some
voicemail mails that came in after the show yesterday.

Speaker 11 (43:15):
Good morning Christian and the team.

Speaker 16 (43:17):
My name's Chris, and for this Father's Day, I've asked
my adult sons to hire me out a skip and
to come over on Sunday and help me clean out
my shed. They left a lot of stuff behind when they.

Speaker 11 (43:25):
Moved out, and I want it gone.

Speaker 16 (43:27):
I'm hoping to create a workshop in there so that
way I can get to all the tasks that the
wife's created for me.

Speaker 11 (43:33):
So hopefully we'll get that done on Sunday.

Speaker 16 (43:36):
And then maybe I might be able to buy some
stuff and create a workshop.

Speaker 11 (43:41):
Thanks.

Speaker 16 (43:42):
Like guys, enjoy Father's Day, I hope you get spoiled
a heap.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
A lot of these are quite humble, aren't they Just
a simple skip, there's a gift to attach and.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Just the sons to just do their job for It's
just take care at a minimum.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Maybe on to my other show, I'd love to hit
some other mums and dance what did you do with
the spare bedroom? Or you know, it's kind of like
now you've got the empty nest? What do you feel
the empty nest? With hi?

Speaker 11 (44:06):
It step here.

Speaker 17 (44:07):
I'd really like to get my husband David tickets to
see Evil Did the Musical. He's a really hard worker.
He's always there for the kids and he never gets
any time to himself. I think he'd really enjoy this
as a Father's Day gift.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Give us a call. We'll take your wish's neck.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
The Christian o'connall show.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Podcast amateur radio presenter Dave Higgins who does the show
after us, and he's coming on very well. It's a
young kid. If you met him, you and the game.
He's sixteen sixteen. He won a competition threeteen in the
local paper. You know, it's a lovely little story. Anyway,
he said, Christian, No way on the second floor. Are
we thirty meters up? Thank you? Think of a ten

(44:45):
meter Olympic diving platform? Yep, it ain't three of them. No,
I'm sorry I listened to your mate. I'm sorry I
wasn't listening to Greg laganas.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
There's no way I reckon it's twenty now, yeah, under
twenty for sure.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
And it also says who could we ask who would
have a job, would have the actual proper tools to
better swing by today? Jump out the van or ute
and set up something where they would measure elevation. What
what is that that you know?

Speaker 13 (45:18):
Then?

Speaker 1 (45:18):
You know when they're before they build something they yea,
they got the it's got orange legs and orange shrib
and then they got a mate down there with a
piece of string. Yes, we use them quantity surveyor is I? Oh?
Are they surveying quantity? Is elevation?

Speaker 11 (45:32):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (45:32):
What about? I know they're busy, but they're not always
rushing around? Would the fire Brigade mind getting a ladder
up which does have a click?

Speaker 9 (45:40):
Click?

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Ten meters click, click and take measure.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
I don't see any fires around, so I think they
should be fine. Just swing on over.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Okay, Kaitlin? Is that something you could do after the
show today? Just we're in Richmond Firehouse.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I can give it a go.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
I also have a friend that is a fiery so
I can ask her if she wants to go up
a ladder.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, please, just I just need someone that it can
measure once and for all. Is it twenty to thirty meters? Yep?
All right? So where were we? Oh? Yes? What a
dad once? That's right? Sorry, this I ain't think of
the building is really perplexed me.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
What a dad once? What a dad means something better?

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Dad sucks?

Speaker 4 (46:17):
And hey gees, I'm asking you so.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Colin and tell me. My kids actually answer me, ansty
what do you want? I think I might change everything. Now,
just get some of that measures elevation. Then I can
go around and just dows are my friends when around
the house going hey, you know, by the way, your
house is seven point eight meters high. With my new measurer.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I've always thought when people ask you, what superpower would
you have, I would love to be able to know
the distances between any two things immediately.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Oh that's great. Anyway, we're doing what her dad wants.
Dad's what do you actually want for Father's Day? This Sunday?
Call me thirteen fifty five twenty two. We have one
thousand dollars a day to look after the dad. Caitlin's
on the line. Now, Good morning, Caitlyn, welcome to the show.

Speaker 14 (46:58):
Thank you, Good morning everyone. How are you going?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Oh wow, I'm just gonna leave Kaylin Hay in there.
She was kind enough, you know so well at the
moment they're trying to measure the height. So I've got
them an important business. Kaitlin. Is it your husband or
your dad?

Speaker 14 (47:13):
It's my husband, but it's twofold because if I get
this with my husband, then my father in law will
be very, very happy because I would love to get
my husband a whipper sniffer so that he can return
his dad. The amount of comments I've had of where
is it, where's it? Go on again?

Speaker 10 (47:34):
It's become a source of tension.

Speaker 14 (47:38):
Oh, he's gone to the point where he's actually writing
his name on all of his tools.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Oh wow, I mean we do that and on my
fairy with the charges but tools.

Speaker 14 (47:48):
Yeah, so there's lots of tools around the house with
carrying on it which is not my husband's name. So yeah, look,
this will be a great Father's Day gift for him
and for my father in law.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
You're right, it's a double dad gift, doesn't it. It
helps two generations of Dad's come back together and unite.
That's right.

Speaker 14 (48:04):
And they're big Ryobi fans. I've had my eye on one. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (48:09):
Around my.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Little rechargeable lawnmower is a Riobi as well, and I've
got a Roby leaf blow as well. Yes, for smaller
plots their ideal. Those whipper snippers though, I mean, small thing,
big rage. They are a nightmare of themselves. To you,
you're actually giving your husband rage because it's a nightmare.
They cut like a meter of the grass and then

(48:33):
they just need that little bit of string teasing out
again the cable. Mm hmm.

Speaker 12 (48:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (48:38):
But that's his pop one.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
That's you're the peacemaker here, these two warring fathers. Yes,
granted his wish. You can have a round your obi
whipper snipper.

Speaker 14 (48:49):
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I'm sure
he'll be very excited to get out and gun this weekend.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
What a great day he's got ahead of him on
Father's Day. Out there now and trim those borders. Rob's
on the line, Good morning, Rob, here you're going Yeah,
we're good. Welcome to the show, Rob. So is this
for yourself? Oh?

Speaker 8 (49:07):
This is for me?

Speaker 10 (49:08):
Stupid kids, right I asked for I asked for a
golf driver, so Salistan and said, you got to stop
breaking your golf clubs.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
You know, I get it when I know when I
was learning golf and I stopped trying to learn it.
My last ended literally me launching a driver into a
hedge and just driving off. I think my seven nine
is still there somewhere in Hampton. Now I get it.
What do you wrap it around a treele? Is it
a train that hate snapped off?

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Maybe it's a sign that maybe maybe you move on
to a hobby.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Yeah, bouldering. So what is it? Do you know what
you actually want? Is it? Callaway? Way after?

Speaker 10 (49:48):
I just got to golf Clearance center and there's one
about two hundred and twenty five dollars which I had
an eye on for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I just love the humble ambition of the golf clearance.
Golf clearance centers house sales on three six, five days
a year. They're never not even sell must.

Speaker 8 (50:08):
You?

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Obviously? Tiger Woods down? Then all the approach film, christ
you know it's a clearance sale. Man O, my god, Yes, Rob,
we give you the cash.

Speaker 14 (50:17):
You're great, Thanks, Christian.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Try not to break this one. I won take you
all right. That's it for today. We are back tomorrow.
Email me. Why is it someone's voice that I had
of John Hamm the Super Bowl? Can we get that
five minutes time? We paid it on the show a

(50:39):
couple of months ago. It's the best one ever. He's
bringing out a team. Do you remember when he was
like screaming and he's he's starting the key way too
high and then get ready.

Speaker 9 (50:52):

Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Just of R eight. This week on the show for
Father's Day, what a Dad wants a thousand dollars a
day to gift Dad what he actually does want? Caller
Rob very happy to be getting a discounted golf club
and during a very emotional goodbye, his voice broken a
left thank you and reminded me that Clay I played

(51:32):
it was. I think it was at the Super Bowl
when John Hamm was bringing out his home team of
the Kansas City Chiefs. I think Bradley Cooper brought out
the Philadelphia Egleses and John Hamm a great actor, but
he started in a register way too high. And there's
only one way to go if you start too high,
and that so get out of this. He's obviously a

(51:52):
huge excitable. It's a big moe. He's screaming and it
cracks its.

Speaker 10 (51:56):
Voice to defending super.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I have this clip saved on a YouTube playlist in
my fun bag of any cheering up. There's a whole
lot of things. Just get me straight away. Here it
is again. I actually wonder whether that jinxed it for
the team.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Yeah, I'd want to go through this fun bag your
YouTube all right?

Speaker 1 (52:31):
So yesterna show, we were talking about what would kids
today not know about? And there were so many great
ones from Milli two, Dina up Internet, mum picking up
the phone and getting disconnected from the Internet, Kevin running
during a commercial break to go to the toilet getting
snacks before the TV show would begin. It was timing.
You would jog and sprint then when someone it's about

(52:54):
to start again. Accident recording over something on VHS. Yet
if it was your mum's show, that was the worst
thing you could do, I said, an accident recorded the
football over my mum's episode of Dallas, where you could
find out do you want to keep it forever? The
episode of Weather revealed who did shoot JR. Chantell, the
anxiety having to get photograph film developed and waiting a

(53:16):
week to see Half of them were rubbish anyway. New
ones who came in after yesterday, Gavin this is winding
windows down and driving without any cameras or senses. Do
you mean breaking the law? Oh the good old days.
Kids won't know that. We could just drive around at speed.
Christian A frustration of taping a show on VHS tape

(53:39):
only to miss the last ten minutes because the program
is longer than it was listed in the Green Guide. Jessica,
just want to go in a Blockbuster on a Friday night,
until onther every copy of the movie you wanted was
already hied out. Mia Hamport and a metal coat hanger
was especially We're trying to get a clear picture on
the TV, having to stand very still while watching TV

(54:00):
was holding a coat hanger. You think we're joking. This
is what a son's job was in the family, to
be a human physical conductor. Yes, pointing a metallic thing
thunder so you could watch TV.

Speaker 12 (54:13):
When Pad Cash was playing Ivan lennon the nine only
seven Wimbledon Final, I was doing that.

Speaker 11 (54:20):
TV.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
A TV would have an antella on top of it
and you would just like move it around.

Speaker 9 (54:26):
Yes, all the time. It was very frustrating. We their
two channels.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Christian A joy of using a VHS player fast forward
to find the best bits and then having to rewind
it back to the start. As an act of courtesy
for the next person be kind rewind.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
But there were also fees, remember like a block would
yeah yeah, yeah, Michelle.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
The sound of accidentally dialing of facts machine number by
phone awful. We're going to have to dig out that
sound effect. Lock you dig that one out? Yeah, awful,
like screeching metallic noise. Kathin Christian, do you remember credit
limits on mobile phones? And now it's sending just one
text would cost Now most data is like just giving away?
Is it limitless plans?

Speaker 12 (55:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Who's you know years ago you'd be terrified about sending
one message or streaming a song. Yes.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Part two Today kids these days, who'll never know? Christian
the struggle of not having every choice of TV program ever,
just what actually is on? That's it. There is no choice.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
I miss that because how torturous is it trying to
choose what you want to watch?

Speaker 1 (55:32):
An abundance of choice? Yes, choice, Matthew Parker, no phones,
but you knew where your mate's words is by the
pile of bikes outside. Oh my god, that is so true.
It was just a heap of bikes. You were just
cycle then dump it on the ground. Bonita a great name,
by the way, waiting hours for a computer game to load,
only for a not to work, and you wasted virtually

(55:52):
an entire day. Guy the wonder and joy of a payphone, Yeah,
most of the ones where I lived. The stank of urine,
I'm afraid. Yeah, yeah, it's the weather in the UK.
You're driven to do creep. You never know what goes
on someone's head, you know, Christian, you were talking about
accident recording over VHS things. Christian. Back in the nineties,

(56:14):
my husband recorded a James Bond movie on a VHS
tape which that had our son's ultrasound images on them.
I still haven't forgiven him thirty years on Tim on
the show, what did you record over? Ad? Also, you
still haven't forgiven them.

Speaker 10 (56:33):
I get it, thirty years, three decades.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
You know, what would have been a baby then is
now a man. You know, a thirty year old man thereabout.
Thank you very much, SA. These are still coming and
this is brilliant. Kids today would never know about knowing
your mailway reference in case you had to tell the
emergency services where your house was. To go into the bank.
The only way to get cash was to go into

(56:57):
the bank to get it, ripping open a pay packet,
counting the cash. Christian. They don't know when a time
before downloading streaming services, no streaming American sport saw euro
Football twenty for seven. Whenever you want, whatever was on
TV was the only thing on TV. Ryan, What about
the info line numbers? We had to ring a number

(57:19):
to find about whether tie times. Well even at the time,
you still ring a phone number to go at the
third stroke there will be nine fifty two and forty
two seconds just to check what the time was. No
one have watches back in the way, Well no, but
then they would. You can't rely on watches now you
had to ring an automated line. Yeah, I don't have
before it is still working now.

Speaker 9 (57:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Ten years ago I did it.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
They've got rid of it now it's all online.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Pats.

Speaker 7 (57:45):
Yeah, I don't know. It's actually in news because we
used to, especially at daylight savings time, to make sure
because it happens on a weekend. If you were working
on a weekend, just double check it was. Was it
double oad, double one?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
What was the number?

Speaker 4 (57:57):
I forget now double O seven?

Speaker 1 (57:58):
I think some number kids today will never know the
feeling of setting off for a family car trip with
a fresh set of batteries ready for your Sony Warpman.
When those batteries were now, that was it. Dad refused
to buy any more, Butlinda Christian, kids today will never
know about having to wait a week for a new
episode of a TV show and then a year for

(58:19):
the next season. I remember when the rumors were about
the Simpsons who shot mister Burns episode we had to
wait for a year to see who it was long
payoff Maggie calling a boy or girl desperately hoping that
the parents didn't answer the home phone. Yes, Kelly Christian.
When I was a kid, I remember you. Your mum
would take you to a shoe shop and the shop

(58:40):
assistant would pick your foot in a thing that would
measure your foot to get the right side Shane and City.
What's happened to that?

Speaker 6 (58:46):
They still do?

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Yeah, big old, it's a big thing. Was going to
clamp my top?

Speaker 7 (58:52):
Yeah yeah, we got school shoes for Audrey earlier in
the year and they.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Still Christian were The kids today won't know that it
was their job to change the channel from a choice
of wait for it three or four. You had to
watch the TV and turn the dial. My grandparents always
used to tell me not to sit too close to
TV as the picture tube gave off radiation. Is that true?

(59:17):
That just an over mill? Stop you getting squared? Do
you want to said? Goes? You get square? Ice, Kristian,
I've gone online. Apparently the whole Placa building is approximately
thirty one meters tall.
