sartoil elegance that I find myself in here. But today
some rios, Oh wow, you've really dressed up with a
(00:47):

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Let's dame her today. Who's to stop us? Yes, we
need just to live through one hundred years. She's one
hundred years old today. And the reason why she's come
on the show. A couple of weeks ago, we were
speaking to her granddaughter and as we were chatting to
about something else we do on the show, I could
hear someone elderly in the backgrounds sort of shouting out
and carrying on, and I said, who's that? She said, Oh,
(02:01):
it's my grandmother. She's ninety nine. I said, when she's
one hundred and she said a couple of weeks time.
She loves to listen to the show. Christian, I said,

When a really nice, vivid, vivescent red it is.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
And also dark chocolate good for the heart, keep it pumping.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And so that's what you expected today if you got
inside knowledge or something.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
No, I'm just saying I want to keep her healthy.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
But let's not saying stuff like that to her.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You know, this is good for your heart, keep it pumpy,
bit pumping.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
So she did request the sponge, and that is a sponge.

the all as well.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Actually that'd be lovely, yes.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
And also we got her a card. It is currently
on the way. I did forget it this morning, but on.

There's beautiful streets of Richmond, and down a citizens park
there was a school kid, still in school uniform, who
had set up his own little barber shop on the
park bench.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Are you kidding? That's so cute.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
He had probably I reckon like year ten, year eleven.
He had like the spray, He had the scissors. He
was like twirling them around on his fingers as well,
very very highly skilled. And there was just another pupil,
I guess, sitting there and he was doing a really fancy.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Barber's cut on him.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And there was three or four other kids waiting in
the industry.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That kid's going to go on and become something.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Definitely, that's like a scene from a movie in his
life about what happened next to what's his origin story?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, and everyone's just walking past of you know, having
a little.
Speaker 1 (10:26):

Speaker 4 (10:30):
You know what I was doing laps? I didn't just

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Seven thirty pm Australian Eastern Standard time?
Speaker 5 (11:23):

seven to the AFL, because I find it odd that
the AFL have.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
To prove every one of these deals? Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I didn't you hear regular updates like the AFL have
approved though? It was it this between the clubs, isn't it? So?
Do you think that Andrew Dillon just wants to have
his dinner after half seven? Yeah? Yeah, wrap it up
before then it's seven thirty. It's not really specific as it.
What aren't nine ten or eleven, seven thirty eight o'clock booking?
Basically all right? Coming up next to in the foreign
(11:54):
movie title game, this is where we look at classic movies.
While I'm looking at some of these sorries that they're
definitely not classics. There are movies, though we can agree
on that they're movies, and sometimes they lose something in
translation when they're translated the title into foreign markets. So
last week, for example, the team we're trying to work
out which movie was if you are elderly, this land
(12:15):
is not suitable for you. No country for old men
in French? And what about against all odds, this pet
is wearing a hat. That's the Japanese version of the
Cat in the Hat. I've got some ones coming up next,

Speaker 5 (21:44):
So they make your friends. They made a little bit really.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
They've been to a few birthday parties and Max's tagged along,
which is always nice. So that to me says they're
really happy and I'm happy. So it's been good. So
what is it now? October? Mid October? My goodness, that
year is gone and we're coming into Christmas and we're
looking pretty good.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
So I'm really happy.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Great my six what week so far is reunited with
my lost birthday sunglasses two years ago for my fiftieth,
my wife and my daughters, they got me a really
nice pair of sunglasses, like nicer than I would ever
normally get myself, because the only thing I ever lose
is sunglasses.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I think this was not something you have all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's like reading glasses where you're constantly checking where armor glasses.
This is important. So I must have lost in my
ears over twenty pairs. So I just buy dirt cheap
sunglasses because they won't last a summer anyway. Somehow, these
birthdays have lasted two years until last Tuesday night, I
just left in the back of an uber. So for
the last couple days I been panicaning. You know, when
(22:44):
someone gets you a gift and it just for someone
really means something to you. When you lose it, it's
not just like, oh, I'll replace that, you can't quite
replace it. And so I was really wind like I
don't know where they are. Thought, oh, I think I
left in the back of the Uber. I'm never seeing
those again. And you know, can you can't justlike people
are going to see that and go and just have them.
So anyway, I contacted the driver. He had my sunglasses.
(23:07):
Oh still wow them for six days and hadn't reached out.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
He was hoping like once it hits a week.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I got the feeling he'd been wearing them.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh, I'll tell you what rio. So I messaged Uber
and said, hey, I figure and then this guy messaged
me back saying I have your sunglasses. And then we
spent about fifteen messages going back and forth, and it
was clear that he was learning English just on text, right,
you know.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And so he was like, oh, where you live. I
don't come up a very oft time.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I said, look, I'm going to obviously pay you because
I appreciate you God to come at your way. So
I arranged that he would come and get me this morning.
So I get an Ober into work. So this morning,
five am, geliberto who's moved it two years ago.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
He's learning English.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
A lovely, lovely young guy turned up at five am
with my sunglasses. I gave him his reward and then
paid him to take me into work today.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
We had this lovely chat.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Anyway, when I got into work, I smelt the sunglasses
and I smelt another man's musk.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
He smelt the sun glass.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
He's been wearing them. He's been wearing them clean. I've
got Gilberto's mask on my birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Sunglasses is a very fashionable thing.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yes, yes, And he was like, they're gray. I've never
seen gray sunglasses before. When they got them for me,
because my kids and it would suit my gray hair.
Why don't I just wear gray clothes so I can
just completely gray out? Graw? Are we got these old
sunglasses to your old head and face? That's why they
actually need some gray sunclasses.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Christian who needs five pearls of wisdom when the first
three are red wine, friends and dancing exactly you're right,
you're right. Truth bombs just got dropped on the show
by Lilian off Air. I've just been told off by
one hundred year old. The producers had told Lillian that
(30:40):
she'd be on about seven thirty five, but because she
came in so early, like a quarter to seven, we
didn't think it was fair to keep her hang around,
so we put her on at seven fifteen. And twice
she actually had a go at me. What was She
pointed finger on me, said you put me on at
seven fifteen. I told my friends listener, I've actually been
told one.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
They need to get better.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
You're like a naughty little schoolboy in the principal's office, came.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Addressed again, She's going to take a shoe off and
beat me. There'd be no tap dancing for me. I'm
telling you what we've just seen. Make sure you guys
see it. Saw the letter that she's got from King Charles.
How do It's amazing? Actually I didn't realize yours. It's
signed by him and his missus. Yes, she gets to
(31:31):
look in he's a nurse. I didn't know. I beg
the Queen didn't do that. It was all queen, It
was all her but Charlie Boy Chucks and missus.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
In there's an eyebrow raiser.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, it was quite contentious anyway, All right, lines are
open now. We got so many stories yesterday. We're doing
part two on our three topics that are three ways
for you to get your show stories on the show today.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
What did you do with the ashes? Last week?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I was talking about my friend who his dad was
a passed away and they had his ashes, and his
dad loves steam trains, and I didn't realize that you
can sprinkle ashes into the engine. The fire pit it's
called where they shovel all the coal. His dad's ashes
went in there and he would have loved it. Also
powering the train for everybody else. So what do you
(32:20):
do with the ashes? If you weren't born in a hospital?
Where were you born? Incredible story this week up in
Queensland of a lady driving herself to the maternity ward
of a hospital and going into berth in the driveway.
Two maternity nurses came to her rescue. Two pushes and
(32:41):
the baby was out. I've read the actual after the show. Yes,
I was fascinated by this. Two pushes, the baby was out.
Obviously they're in the car park and they someone came
running out. One of the nurses with us to erect
a hasty kind of sheet around her modest details they
could get her out of the car onto a bed
(33:01):
into the hospital, which I thought it was such a
nice thing to do, move and towel. So if you
weren't born in a hospital, where were you born? And
we're trying to find the car in Australia that's got
the high list. The highest minage we got up to
you yesterday was it one point six million? I'm not
an aidometer that obviously gone around twice. So your story
(33:23):
is about what did you do with the ashes? Where
were you born? If you weren't born in a hospital,
and can we find the largest mileage on a car
in Australia. We're up to one point six million at
the moment.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
The number you.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Need one thousand dollars still up for grabs. Thanks to
Mercedes Benz Berrick for our call of the week. When
we hear a great story, you can in an instant
one thousand dollars thirteen fifty five twenty two. And if
you're a load of old people tuning in not to
hear this show, but Lillian, you should have go up earlier.
She was on in ten minutes. She swore a lot.
She was very badly behaved.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Have you having a good week so far?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Christian? You guys talking about the cards the birthday can
from Kings ours and seeing Camillia in there as well
and a signature Christian. Get this, My one hundred year
and one year old mother declined the card from the
King because she doesn't like Camilla. Listen, we're not there,
(34:23):
step kids, ultimate power move, Patsy, what did you send
it back? Going no? Thank you? And Camilla's eyes cut out?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Little devil Hans doing here?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
What is this move? We're like angry step kids? You
know my mum? I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
How she declined to send it back?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
A further Republican cold, isn't it? King Charles sending it
in his post and what oh i'd really get Postwark
bloody eatings in Australia. Oh my god, Lyn, that is
really what we love? All right? Okay? Lines are open now.
Thirteen fifty five twenty two. What did you with the ashes?
Where were you born? If you weren't born in a
hospital and can you talk one point six million on
(35:04):
a mileage on an od dormitor Christian? What do you
do the ashes? This is a great story from Sam
April twenty sixteen. My dad passed away in Tasmania. When
it comes to his ashes, we had a lot of ideas.
He lived a full life with many passions, so we
drip fed bits of him across places that mattered. But
we saved a special stash for his greatest love, Footy.
(35:25):
Dad was a diehard South Melbourne Snash Swans fan. It
was twenty sixteen. It was the Swans versus Bulldogs in
the Grand Final. Sadly for Dad, but delightfully for our
eight year old son. A Bulldog's tragic the Swan's lost here.
It's a big year that year. The next day the
MCG had an open Days, so off we went eight
of us arm with tupperware containers of dads and ashes,
(35:45):
very deep in our eggs like we were smuggling contraband.
My son Oli, proudly wearing his Indigenous Bulldogs top, got
stopped by a Channel nine news crew for an interview.
While the cameraman's back was turned. We seized the moment
like a coved operation. We gently scattered eight tubs worth
of dad. How mean was your dad?
Speaker 9 (36:08):
Us?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Carry all over the Sydney Swan's logo? Were you rubbing
it in? Mission accomplished And the best part we got
to watch it back on the news that night, my
son Olli on camera. Dad was there in spirit and
the Swan's logo slightly dusted the normal.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Sam, that's a great story, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
When we come back, we have some brilliant stories lined
up for you.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Christian, I really liked this idea for myself, one of
their putting my ashes in an hourglass so I can
still participate in family games. Now, Oh that's so cute.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Horrifying for the family though.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like you did for dad, Christian.
And I was born in the front passenger seat of
the family car in front of a police station. My
parents couldn't make it in turn too hospital sorts, so
they pulled over into a police station to get help.
By the time my dad run into the station came
back out, I've been born. Wow. It made front page
(37:07):
news or the local newspaper with a photo of me
in a police at being held by my mom. I
still have the newspaper cutting. I was named after the
constable that helped as well. That's great, Pauline, lovely story.
Let's get some calls on it now. Good morning, Jenny,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (37:25):
Good morning, How are you?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm good, Jenny. So what's your story about what did
you do with the ashes?
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Years ago? I went to school with a guy whose
family were absolute cricket tragics, and they had an annual
family match every year. Granddad died, he was cremated. They
didn't really know what to do with him. So every
year the winning family gets to keep Granddad for the year,
so they're literally playing for the ashes.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, what a great idea.
Speaker 11 (37:56):
That far as I know, it's still going.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I have no idea, I hope, so yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
For many more years. That's a great story. Jenny. Thank
you very much for share and have a good day.
Speaker 9 (38:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (38:09):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Here we go here now Tim, morning, Tien go guys.
How are we? Yeah, we're good, Tim, Welcome to the show.
Which the story about what do you do with the ashes?
Speaker 12 (38:17):
We had a bit of a nooks with mum's ashes.
We decided to meet at a lovely park up the
now massive them there with a barbecue facility. We all
met up there. I've got the barbie gu and me
brothers rocked up with the ashes. Put the ashes on
the barbecue now and sort of really noticed after a
couple of minutes where what smells? Oh my god? We
(38:38):
sat mom on fire again. Yeah yeah, so from you know,
we had a bit of a laugh about the Mum
would have liked it. We went over to the waterfall.
There's a nice little waterfall. We thought, we'll scatter Mom
over the waterfall. That'll be nice if we all do that.
We've done that. We came back. We were about to
start having Brecky. His sister got the wheels, started breading
(39:01):
the wheel and Mum said, look, don't mind what you
do with me ashes, just don't scatter them anywhere near water.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Wow, you really didn't do her rights. Why she's still
not haunting you to this day. Yeah, poor marm again.
And then I didn't read them. It's rare, you say,
this is not what they would have wanted.
Speaker 12 (39:28):
What do you do do you.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well, basically not all of that anyone for a Niggenberg
and Roll Tim great story. Thank you very much, mate,
Thanks you on the show. Let's kind of Amber here. Amber.
Speaker 13 (39:44):
Good morning Now.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Amber, I'm really excited about getting your story because the
team are very excited. They're haven't to many details, but
they said you've got to speak to Amber. So all
is what's your story made? So?
Speaker 13 (39:56):
My dad works for National Parks in the Kimberleese for
most of his wife and was very passionate about Australia,
Australian flora and fauna, and loved crocodiles. And he was
a bit of a nossy character and he would always
say he wanted to be fed to the crocodiles and
spread throughout the Kimberleefe. So this was one of his
(40:16):
sort of you know, campfire stories. Anyway, long story short,
dad died in twenty sixteen. It took us seven years
to get organized that we made his dreams come true.
And I'm not sure how legal it all is, but
we mixed that into chicken results and all his children
(40:37):
and his grandchildren went to one of his favorite parks
and led him to the crocodile.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
This is the most Australian thing you could do with ashes.
It's something you'd have in crocodile. The second one and.
Speaker 13 (40:55):
Video of one of the crocodiles that came right up
to us and he came back for more.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
They yeah, your dad's tasty man.
Speaker 9 (41:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (41:07):
And I think the thing we love the most is
the fact that it's now being told as a story
on radio.
Speaker 9 (41:11):
To be honest, Yeah, well we are.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
We are. All we have in life is our stories.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
That is an epic story.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Where did you go? Was it like a crocodile park?
You didn't just go out in the wild.
Speaker 13 (41:22):
Did you. Well, I'm not going to say.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Exactly what I found the answer I wasn't looking for.
Speaker 13 (41:29):
We did have some permissions, but we probably didn't have.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
All the chief crocodile getting on with it. Make it snappy.
Speaker 13 (41:39):
From the local original elders is where we got our
permission from. But it's probably some other places that we
possibly needed it.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
But no, out in the wild it was. It's the
it's the thought that's gone into this. Plus what were
you doing for seven years?
Speaker 7 (41:52):
That's what I want to know, trying to orchestrate it,
looking for chickens or something to make into rissolts with dad?
Speaker 9 (42:03):

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Is there recipe? It's Naggie got one of those.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Email here from Nathan Rock Christian. I was out of
my morning walk in Sunny Costa Del Solt, Southern Spain,
listening to the podcast episode three Pigs, one car, brother,
my brother nor farmer. We went to get you and
have them buy three pigs, and then I thought we'd
be going a truck or something.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Just shoved seats go down.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
I'm car palling with three massive, bloody late pigs. Anyway,
that's the story, Christian, approximately thirty four minutes in you
wereti all go with your dad and his fail trip
of a lifetime to Casablanca, Morocco, and I happen to
be walking past at that exact moment, and that story
the apartment's Casablanca, Ohoto. I love that a podcast. What
(45:00):
are the Odds? Joe's on the line now for us?
Hello Joe, Hi, Christian Tame.
Speaker 14 (45:05):
How are you on this Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
It's a beautiful morning, isn't it? Show there? Sure is?
Speaker 14 (45:11):
What are they are?
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Those odds?
Speaker 14 (45:14):
I was flowing on a long hall flight and arrive
into London, and so I went to bed pretty early
in the dormitory in the backpackers.
Speaker 12 (45:20):
I was at.
Speaker 14 (45:21):
Went to bed, there was no one else in my room.
Woke up and I knew three other people in the room.
Speaker 11 (45:27):
No one else knew anyone else in the room.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
I saw that when I was singing in London, it's
a great night out back in the day, and.
Speaker 14 (45:33):
So on the I woke up, one person woke up
and I'm like, oh my god. One person I went
to school with, one person I worked with, and one
was just a mutual friend. So when to bed, didn't
know anyone arrived in this foreign country, wake up and
I knew three of the others in the room.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It's a surprise overnight really.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
When you wake up.
Speaker 14 (45:57):
And they didn't know each other either.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Thought you Australians love a London dormitory and a backpackers.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Exactly to the walk about.
Speaker 9 (46:07):
Then it pretty much was for the rest.
Speaker 5 (46:13):
All right, Joe, thank you very much the story.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I have a great day.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Earlier on we had some incredible stories about what you
did with the Ashes, one of the most incredible stories
of the year.
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Get the podcast today, it'll.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Be well worth it. The crocodile story is one of
the stories of the ages. Great email. Someone's email is
bookworm Nora great as a fellow bookworm. I love that
email a handle that. It's very good. Christian. My husband
was a real woodsy. He screamed like a banshee on
the Scooby Doo ride at Movie World. So when talking
(46:50):
and I gifted him an acrobatic joy fly in a
tiger Off bieplane for his birthday. That's not what finished
them off with. One of the Ashes plan is Tom Cruise.
We told the party to knock his socks off.
Speaker 5 (47:06):
He loved it.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Oh, what lovely family. He said that when he died,
we should take his ashes and release them over the
water from a tiger moth as it only carries one passenger.
Our daughter was elected to do the deed. His ashes
were released over the water. She sat at the tiger
moth plane. That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I've got a time that as well, because it's.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Barrel rolls. Yes, yes, Christian, what are the odds? My
nan married my pop and her name was Joy and
his last name was Joyce, so she was Joy Joyce.
Then my auntie married my uncle and she was Scherer
and his last name was Sheridan, so she ended up
(47:52):
becoming Serri Sheridan. He's got Joy Joyce Sheri Sheridan. It's
like an eighties double act. Yes, pop stars. You know
there was like pepsin showing Joy Joyce and Serf Sheridan.
Tim's on the line now, morning, Tim. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (48:09):
Yeah, thanks mate, Yeah, what's the odds? Twenty three years
ago when I met my now wife of twenty three
and a half years ago, we met for a pen
pale club, not an online thing, but a pen pale club.
You know, I write letters and my wife knew me
as him. I was living in Tasmania, she was living
in Gibsland, and after a couple of letters we exchanged
(48:29):
phone numbers. Then one night, while we're on the phone
to each other, she started hollering Timothy James, and I said,
hang on, how did you name my middle name? Turns
out that her son from a previous marriage was Timothy James,
and yeah, now when he was growing up. Whenever she
hollowed Timothy James, we based friend like herl because one
(48:52):
of us was in trouble.
Speaker 1 (48:57):

the things that gets goes as you get old is
your grip strength. That's why it's very important for you
to look after your grip strength. Again, it's a very
big precursor to how you're going to age as grip strength. Anyway,
she had a very strong grip strength the way she classed.
I'm not choking that bottle of red wine. We got her,
(50:55):
especially when I got near her. I think she thought
I was going to steal it. Well, I can't trust
these shifty English people. Never trust the bomb. She was
gripping that thing that she's going to snap the neck off.

look around, the team normally is quite a sort of
scruffy looking bunch that I work with them. Afraid to say,
but that is hashtag Australia and the low son of
sartoil elegance that I find myself in here. But today
some rios, Oh wow, you've really dressed up with a
(00:47):
white T shirt. Well, this is actually look like a
dental hygienius. Are you going to ask our special guest
as she's flossing if this is us?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Saved this for the weekend. I don't normally use it on.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
The weekdays a weekend T shirt.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
That no, why the weekend T shirt is actually a
step up from my usual.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Right, okay, because that's a slightly special look.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Or yes, well the heavy crew neck.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Normally I use my weekday T shirt the ones that
can just be cleaned and ironed in the dryer.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So my uniclo basics.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yes, this is a special code ac T shirt from Korea.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So it's actually our one hundred year old guests this

Good morning, Alex, good morning. We are really excited because
today at just after seven o'clock, then our special guest

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh yes, I love that word.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Political dame. Let's make it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Let's dame her today. Who's to stop us? Yes, we
need just to live through one hundred years. She's one
hundred years old today. And the reason why she's come
on the show. A couple of weeks ago, we were
speaking to her granddaughter and as we were chatting to
about something else we do on the show, I could
hear someone elderly in the backgrounds sort of shouting out
and carrying on, and I said, who's that? She said, Oh,
(02:01):
it's my grandmother. She's ninety nine. I said, when she's
one hundred and she said a couple of weeks time.
She loves to listen to the show. Christian, I said,
why don't you bring her in? That is today? So
Producer Katelin, I know you're running points on this is everything? Ready?
What have we got ready for Lillian when she comes
in on this very special day. You look amazing today,
by the way, Oh thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yes, I dressed up for her also all the stuff
that I would only wear on a weekend normally.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's been upgraded. Wednesday is the new Saturday.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Alrighty.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
So what we have organized for her? If you're listening
from seven, keep listening now, we will have a cake
that's hers. Have you but one hundredth Lilian.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And that so it says happy bush, one hundredth Lillian.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It's a sponge cake.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's a beautiful cake. It's very beautiful, and we have strawberries.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
On top as well.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
When a really nice, vivid, vivescent red it is.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
And also dark chocolate good for the heart, keep it pumping.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And so that's what you expected today if you got
inside knowledge or something.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
No, I'm just saying I want to keep her healthy.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
But let's not saying stuff like that to her.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You know, this is good for your heart, keep it pumpy,
bit pumping.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
So she did request the sponge, and that is a sponge.
What else we have is a hundred dollars bottle of
wine for our hundredth it's a beautiful one that I
got yesterday from twenty twenty one a King Chiraz.
Speaker 3 (03:21):

Also got her a high tea for her daughter and
her granddaughter at the Langham, so they'll be able to
go and do.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That, and Andre and his team there will spoil her
the all as well.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Actually that'd be lovely, yes.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
And also we got her a card. It is currently
on the way. I did forget it this morning, but on.
Speaker 1 (03:51):

hundred years and we've got this card from Coals look

Keep the receipt, yeah, to claim it back from this company.
Speaker 3 (04:20):

There's beautiful streets of Richmond, and down a citizens park
there was a school kid, still in school uniform, who
had set up his own little barber shop on the
park bench.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Are you kidding? That's so cute.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
He had probably I reckon like year ten, year eleven.
He had like the spray, He had the scissors. He
was like twirling them around on his fingers as well,
very very highly skilled. And there was just another pupil,
I guess, sitting there and he was doing a really fancy.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Barber's cut on him.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And there was three or four other kids waiting in
the industry.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That kid's going to go on and become something.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Definitely, that's like a scene from a movie in his
life about what happened next to what's his origin story?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, and everyone's just walking past of you know, having
a little.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Sticky big and what was the method of payment?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
You know what I was doing laps? I didn't just
want to stop and and just stare at him.

There's about six or seven you know, you've got the

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Seven thirty pm Australian Eastern Standard time?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
I love that. Well done. Great answer.
Speaker 1 (11:25):

seven to the AFL, because I find it odd that
the AFL have.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
To prove every one of these deals? Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I didn't you hear regular updates like the AFL have

(11:54):
movie title game, this is where we look at classic movies.
While I'm looking at some of these sorries that they're
definitely not classics. There are movies, though we can agree
on that they're movies, and sometimes they lose something in
translation when they're translated the title into foreign markets. So
last week, for example, the team we're trying to work
out which movie was if you are elderly, this land
(12:15):
is not suitable for you. No country for old men
in French? And what about against all odds, this pet

parents you're as happy as your unhappiest kid. Exactly right, Yes,
and it is you're right. If everything's up with them,
then you're all good. Yeah, and how are they settling in?
Because what have you been in now? In Melbourne?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Two months?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Yeah, since mid July. Now, they've been really good. Actually,
it's been a massive move for them.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
The girl.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
The twins are six and Max is four. So the
girls are really enjoying school, which is great. And I
took them to their swimming lessons last night at the
local pool. That's always a.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Stress that indoor or outdoor. Indoor. Yeah, it's hot, isn't
it Paris?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
So mine always used to be Saturday mornings and you'd
obviously have a few wines the night before, sat there
like sweating wine. Now it's so hot in those.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Pools hot, so I was just waiting for the weather
to get a bit hotter. So it's not so they
can cool it down inside. But I just had a
moment sort of yesterday where I looked at them all
and I went, yeah, they're going Okay, they're happy, and.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
So they make your friends. They made a little bit really.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
They've been to a few birthday parties and Max's tagged along,
which is always nice. So that to me says they're
really happy and I'm happy. So it's been good. So
what is it now? October? Mid October? My goodness, that
year is gone and we're coming into Christmas and we're
looking pretty good.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
So I'm really happy.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Great my six what week so far is reunited with
my lost birthday sunglasses two years ago for my fiftieth,
my wife and my daughters, they got me a really
nice pair of sunglasses, like nicer than I would ever
normally get myself, because the only thing I ever lose
is sunglasses.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I think this was not something you have all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It's like reading glasses where you're constantly checking where armor glasses.
This is important. So I must have lost in my
ears over twenty pairs. So I just buy dirt cheap
sunglasses because they won't last a summer anyway. Somehow, these
birthdays have lasted two years until last Tuesday night, I
just left in the back of an uber. So for
the last couple days I been panicaning. You know, when
(22:44):
someone gets you a gift and it just for someone
really means something to you. When you lose it, it's
not just like, oh, I'll replace that, you can't quite
replace it. And so I was really wind like I
don't know where they are. Thought, oh, I think I
left in the back of the Uber. I'm never seeing
those again. And you know, can you can't justlike people
are going to see that and go and just have them.
So anyway, I contacted the driver. He had my sunglasses.
(23:07):
Oh still wow them for six days and hadn't reached out.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
He was hoping like once it hits a week.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I got the feeling he'd been wearing them.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh, I'll tell you what rio. So I messaged Uber
and said, hey, I figure and then this guy messaged
me back saying I have your sunglasses. And then we
spent about fifteen messages going back and forth, and it
was clear that he was learning English just on text, right,
you know.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
And so he was like, oh, where you live. I
don't come up a very oft time.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I said, look, I'm going to obviously pay you because
I appreciate you God to come at your way. So
I arranged that he would come and get me this morning.
So I get an Ober into work. So this morning,
five am, geliberto who's moved it two years ago.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
He's learning English.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
A lovely, lovely young guy turned up at five am
with my sunglasses. I gave him his reward and then
paid him to take me into work today.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
We had this lovely chat.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Anyway, when I got into work, I smelt the sunglasses
and I smelt another man's musk.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
He smelt the sun glass.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
He's been wearing them. He's been wearing them clean. I've
got Gilberto's mask on my birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Sunglasses is a very fashionable thing.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yes, yes, And he was like, they're gray. I've never
seen gray sunglasses before. When they got them for me,
because my kids and it would suit my gray hair.
Why don't I just wear gray clothes so I can
just completely gray out? Graw? Are we got these old
sunglasses to your old head and face? That's why they
actually need some gray sunclasses.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Christian who needs five pearls of wisdom when the first
three are red wine, friends and dancing exactly you're right,
you're right. Truth bombs just got dropped on the show
by Lilian off Air. I've just been told off by
one hundred year old. The producers had told Lillian that
(30:40):
she'd be on about seven thirty five, but because she
came in so early, like a quarter to seven, we
didn't think it was fair to keep her hang around,
so we put her on at seven fifteen. And twice
she actually had a go at me. What was She
pointed finger on me, said you put me on at
seven fifteen. I told my friends listener, I've actually been
told one.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
They need to get better.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
You're like a naughty little schoolboy in the principal's office, came.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Addressed again, She's going to take a shoe off and
beat me. There'd be no tap dancing for me. I'm
telling you what we've just seen. Make sure you guys
see it. Saw the letter that she's got from King Charles.
How do It's amazing? Actually I didn't realize yours. It's
signed by him and his missus. Yes, she gets to
(31:31):
look in he's a nurse. I didn't know. I beg
the Queen didn't do that. It was all queen, It
was all her but Charlie Boy Chucks and missus.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
In there's an eyebrow raiser.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, it was quite contentious anyway, All right, lines are
open now. We got so many stories yesterday. We're doing
part two on our three topics that are three ways
for you to get your show stories on the show today.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
What did you do with the ashes? Last week?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I was talking about my friend who his dad was
a passed away and they had his ashes, and his
dad loves steam trains, and I didn't realize that you
can sprinkle ashes into the engine. The fire pit it's
called where they shovel all the coal. His dad's ashes
went in there and he would have loved it. Also
powering the train for everybody else. So what do you
(32:20):
do with the ashes? If you weren't born in a hospital?
Where were you born? Incredible story this week up in
Queensland of a lady driving herself to the maternity ward
of a hospital and going into berth in the driveway.
Two maternity nurses came to her rescue. Two pushes and
(32:41):
the baby was out. I've read the actual after the show. Yes,
I was fascinated by this. Two pushes, the baby was out.
Obviously they're in the car park and they someone came
running out. One of the nurses with us to erect
a hasty kind of sheet around her modest details they
could get her out of the car onto a bed
(33:01):
into the hospital, which I thought it was such a
nice thing to do, move and towel. So if you
weren't born in a hospital, where were you born? And
we're trying to find the car in Australia that's got
the high list. The highest minage we got up to
you yesterday was it one point six million? I'm not
an aidometer that obviously gone around twice. So your story
(33:23):

What is this move? We're like angry step kids? You
know my mum? I love you.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
How she declined to send it back?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
A further Republican cold, isn't it? King Charles sending it
in his post and what oh i'd really get Postwark
bloody eatings in Australia. Oh my god, Lyn, that is
really what we love? All right? Okay? Lines are open now.
Thirteen fifty five twenty two. What did you with the ashes?
Where were you born? If you weren't born in a
hospital and can you talk one point six million on
(35:04):
a mileage on an od dormitor Christian? What do you
do the ashes? This is a great story from Sam
April twenty sixteen. My dad passed away in Tasmania. When
it comes to his ashes, we had a lot of ideas.
He lived a full life with many passions, so we
drip fed bits of him across places that mattered. But
we saved a special stash for his greatest love, Footy.
(35:25):
Dad was a diehard South Melbourne Snash Swans fan. It
was twenty sixteen. It was the Swans versus Bulldogs in
the Grand Final. Sadly for Dad, but delightfully for our
eight year old son. A Bulldog's tragic the Swan's lost here.
It's a big year that year. The next day the
MCG had an open Days, so off we went eight
of us arm with tupperware containers of dads and ashes,
(35:45):
very deep in our eggs like we were smuggling contraband.
My son Oli, proudly wearing his Indigenous Bulldogs top, got
stopped by a Channel nine news crew for an interview.
While the cameraman's back was turned. We seized the moment
like a coved operation. We gently scattered eight tubs worth
of dad. How mean was your dad?
Speaker 9 (36:08):
Us?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Carry all over the Sydney Swan's logo? Were you rubbing
it in? Mission accomplished And the best part we got
to watch it back on the news that night, my
son Olli on camera. Dad was there in spirit and
the Swan's logo slightly dusted the normal.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Sam, that's a great story, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
When we come back, we have some brilliant stories lined
up for you.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Christian, I really liked this idea for myself, one of
their putting my ashes in an hourglass so I can
still participate in family games. Now, Oh that's so cute.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Horrifying for the family though.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like you did for dad, Christian.
And I was born in the front passenger seat of
the family car in front of a police station. My
parents couldn't make it in turn too hospital sorts, so
they pulled over into a police station to get help.
By the time my dad run into the station came
back out, I've been born. Wow. It made front page
(37:07):
news or the local newspaper with a photo of me
in a police at being held by my mom. I
still have the newspaper cutting. I was named after the
constable that helped as well. That's great, Pauline, lovely story.
Let's get some calls on it now. Good morning, Jenny,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 11 (37:25):
Good morning, How are you?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm good, Jenny. So what's your story about what did
you do with the ashes?
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Years ago? I went to school with a guy whose
family were absolute cricket tragics, and they had an annual
family match every year. Granddad died, he was cremated. They
didn't really know what to do with him. So every
year the winning family gets to keep Granddad for the year,
so they're literally playing for the ashes.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, what a great idea.
Speaker 11 (37:56):
That far as I know, it's still going.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I have no idea, I hope, so yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
For many more years. That's a great story. Jenny. Thank
you very much for share and have a good day.
Speaker 9 (38:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (38:09):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Here we go here now Tim, morning, Tien go guys.
How are we? Yeah, we're good, Tim, Welcome to the show.
Which the story about what do you do with the ashes?
Speaker 12 (38:17):
We had a bit of a nooks with mum's ashes.
We decided to meet at a lovely park up the
now massive them there with a barbecue facility. We all
met up there. I've got the barbie gu and me
brothers rocked up with the ashes. Put the ashes on
the barbecue now and sort of really noticed after a
couple of minutes where what smells? Oh my god? We
(38:38):
sat mom on fire again. Yeah yeah, so from you know,
we had a bit of a laugh about the Mum
would have liked it. We went over to the waterfall.
There's a nice little waterfall. We thought, we'll scatter Mom
over the waterfall. That'll be nice if we all do that.
We've done that. We came back. We were about to
start having Brecky. His sister got the wheels, started breading
(39:01):
the wheel and Mum said, look, don't mind what you
do with me ashes, just don't scatter them anywhere near water.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Wow, you really didn't do her rights. Why she's still
not haunting you to this day. Yeah, poor marm again.
And then I didn't read them. It's rare, you say,
this is not what they would have wanted.
Speaker 12 (39:28):
What do you do do you.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well, basically not all of that anyone for a Niggenberg
and Roll Tim great story. Thank you very much, mate,
Thanks you on the show. Let's kind of Amber here. Amber.
Speaker 13 (39:44):
Good morning Now.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Amber, I'm really excited about getting your story because the
team are very excited. They're haven't to many details, but
they said you've got to speak to Amber. So all
is what's your story made? So?
Speaker 13 (39:56):
My dad works for National Parks in the Kimberleese for
most of his wife and was very passionate about Australia,
Australian flora and fauna, and loved crocodiles. And he was
a bit of a nossy character and he would always
say he wanted to be fed to the crocodiles and
spread throughout the Kimberleefe. So this was one of his
(40:16):
sort of you know, campfire stories. Anyway, long story short,
dad died in twenty sixteen. It took us seven years
to get organized that we made his dreams come true.
And I'm not sure how legal it all is, but
we mixed that into chicken results and all his children
(40:37):
and his grandchildren went to one of his favorite parks
and led him to the crocodile.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
This is the most Australian thing you could do with ashes.
It's something you'd have in crocodile. The second one and.
Speaker 13 (40:55):
Video of one of the crocodiles that came right up
to us and he came back for more.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
They yeah, your dad's tasty man.
Speaker 9 (41:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (41:07):
And I think the thing we love the most is
the fact that it's now being told as a story
on radio.
Speaker 9 (41:11):
To be honest, Yeah, well we are.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
We are. All we have in life is our stories.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
That is an epic story.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Where did you go? Was it like a crocodile park?
You didn't just go out in the wild.
Speaker 13 (41:22):
Did you. Well, I'm not going to say.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Exactly what I found the answer I wasn't looking for.
Speaker 13 (41:29):
We did have some permissions, but we probably didn't have.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
All the chief crocodile getting on with it. Make it snappy.
Speaker 13 (41:39):
From the local original elders is where we got our
permission from. But it's probably some other places that we
possibly needed it.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
But no, out in the wild it was. It's the
it's the thought that's gone into this. Plus what were
you doing for seven years?
Speaker 7 (41:52):
That's what I want to know, trying to orchestrate it,
looking for chickens or something to make into rissolts with dad?
Speaker 9 (42:03):
Right?
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Is there recipe? It's Naggie got one of those.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Cremation snacks anything down.

it really really well as well, really really funny. Yeah,
you would have cheered everyone up this morning. Amber. What
are you going to do with your thousand dollars? Get

Speaker 13 (42:48):
Well, we're actually going to his mom's ninetieth birthday next week,
so I think it'll be in the celebrations to go
and do that.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Well, but no record for her because she knows how
she's going to end up. We're just eyeing you up
right now. How many chickens we're going to need to
blend you up into rissoles? Oh? Amber, great story. You

Hello Joe, Hi, Christian Tame.

How are you on this Sunday morning.

It's a beautiful morning, isn't it? Show there? Sure is?
Speaker 14 (45:11):
What are they are?
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Those odds?
Speaker 14 (45:14):
I was flowing on a long hall flight and arrive
into London, and so I went to bed pretty early
in the dormitory in the backpackers.
Speaker 12 (45:20):
I was at.
Speaker 14 (45:21):
Went to bed, there was no one else in my room.
Woke up and I knew three other people in the room.
Speaker 11 (45:27):
No one else knew anyone else in the room.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
I saw that when I was singing in London, it's
a great night out back in the day, and.
Speaker 14 (45:33):
So on the I woke up, one person woke up
and I'm like, oh my god. One person I went
to school with, one person I worked with, and one
was just a mutual friend. So when to bed, didn't
know anyone arrived in this foreign country, wake up and
I knew three of the others in the room.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
It's a surprise overnight really.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
When you wake up.
Speaker 14 (45:57):
And they didn't know each other either.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Thought you Australians love a London dormitory and a backpackers.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Exactly to the walk about.
Speaker 9 (46:07):
Then it pretty much was for the rest.
Speaker 5 (46:13):

Speaker 2 (46:17):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

did with the Ashes, one of the most incredible stories
of the year.
Speaker 5 (46:28):
Get the podcast today, it'll.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Be well worth it. The crocodile story is one of
the stories of the ages. Great email. Someone's email is
bookworm Nora great as a fellow bookworm. I love that
email a handle that. It's very good. Christian. My husband
was a real woodsy. He screamed like a banshee on
the Scooby Doo ride at Movie World. So when talking
(46:50):
and I gifted him an acrobatic joy fly in a
tiger Off bieplane for his birthday. That's not what finished
them off with. One of the Ashes plan is Tom Cruise.
We told the party to knock his socks off.
Speaker 5 (47:06):
He loved it.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Oh, what lovely family. He said that when he died,
we should take his ashes and release them over the
water from a tiger moth as it only carries one passenger.
Our daughter was elected to do the deed. His ashes
were released over the water. She sat at the tiger
moth plane. That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
I've got a time that as well, because it's.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Barrel rolls. Yes, yes, Christian, what are the odds? My
nan married my pop and her name was Joy and
his last name was Joyce, so she was Joy Joyce.
Then my auntie married my uncle and she was Scherer
and his last name was Sheridan, so she ended up
(47:52):
becoming Serri Sheridan. He's got Joy Joyce Sheri Sheridan. It's
like an eighties double act. Yes, pop stars. You know
there was like pepsin showing Joy Joyce and Serf Sheridan.
Tim's on the line now, morning, Tim. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (48:09):
Yeah, thanks mate, Yeah, what's the odds? Twenty three years
ago when I met my now wife of twenty three
and a half years ago, we met for a pen
pale club, not an online thing, but a pen pale club.
You know, I write letters and my wife knew me
as him. I was living in Tasmania, she was living
in Gibsland, and after a couple of letters we exchanged
(48:29):
phone numbers. Then one night, while we're on the phone
to each other, she started hollering Timothy James, and I said,
hang on, how did you name my middle name? Turns
out that her son from a previous marriage was Timothy James,
and yeah, now when he was growing up. Whenever she
hollowed Timothy James, we based friend like herl because one
(48:52):
of us was in trouble.
