Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hey, this is Christian O'Connell, just letting you know. I've
got a new book come now in a couple of
weeks time. The reason why I'm giving you a heads
up is you can buy it cheaper than when it
comes out.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's available for pre sale.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's called Unscript, and it's all the mistakes I've basically
made in thirty years of breakfast radio, so you don't
have to make them in your speaking. Most of us
perform some version of ourselves when we're talking, depending on
the situation we're in. And the book Unscript that I've written,
which comes out in four weeks time, how she finds
your authentic voice. Everyone has these various blocks. Sometimes because

(01:01):
speaking is easy, we all know how to do it,
but in certain situations it gets jammed up. It might
be in a meeting when he got to give an
impromptu speech how to tell better stories. Some of the
people have been coaching over the last couple of years,
is even trying to have a courage to ask a
question on a team's meeting as well. This helps you
remove your speaking block so you can have more confidence
in any room, in any situation, and be more of yourself.

(01:22):
How you can find your true authentic voice. It's called
down script. And right now I've done a deal with
book Topia, brilliant online bookstore. If you use the code
word Brightside, we call the show the bright Sila Dal.
If you use the code word Brightside, you get twenty
percent off and you get the chance to come in
and watch the show as well, and an additional thank

(01:43):
you for pre ordering the book because actually helps me out.
Pre Orders matter booksellers, a lot of bookshops. They all
see how the pre orders are going, obviously not going
very well. They're not going to waste their bookshelves with
your monkey book in there. So I really want to
get the book out there. I love writing this book.
I really hope it could help some people. So as
thank you for me to you. If you do pre
order the book, if you send me your receipts to

an automatic invite for a special live YouTube show. I'm

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well my understanding, I thought I assumed to one would
be stinking hot like the rest of queens.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think it's Queensland, That's what I thought. But everyone's
going like, oh, it's going to be very cold there.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It just looks an Australian's idea of cold is nine
degrees and they start thinking the stage is coming again?

Speaker 6 (03:24):
Is for anything? Single digits is freezy?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
The big freezers hair as it hits seven.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
I don't think it's going to be colder than Melbourne.
That seems got.

Speaker 7 (03:33):
A very mild winter. I'm just looking. It's currently sixty.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
It is very mild. At the moment.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
It is colder.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yesterday I thought that we'd actually just forward winded or
forgotten this year about winds and we were now was confused,
is this spring to them?

Speaker 6 (03:47):
I found this freezing?

Speaker 8 (03:49):
No, Well, Wimber this morning is half of what it
is currently in Melbourne. So Melbourne at the moment is ten.
Sydney is on about the same currently to Wimber at
six degrees right now, Okay.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
It is colder.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
So Shannon No always sings in a T shirt. I
was looking at some videos of him, Yes, sir, he's
never not in a T shirt.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
He's jack it's a tight T shirt.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
It's a tight T shirt.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So do you think he's still gonna be rocking that
if it's like nine degrees? He's singing outside in a
beer garden.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is he going to be rubbed up?

Speaker 6 (04:20):
I can't imagine him in like a down jacket and
a scar.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Which I have one ready.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
But he's a tough old fella, Yes exactly. I think
he'll still be in if anything, maybe a singleer those
really short shorts that trades were.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
All right, then there's getting him some four x budge smugglers.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Let's see how what a man of the land are you?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Because he's spending all that time in the gym, don't
waste it, don't hide it underclothing, show us the glutes
and quads and can't I don't know if we can
say that to him now we don't show Kait and
kN that's what produces a four to have those conversations
now right out the World Cup then England are playing
Ghana and this week a lot of the big stars

(05:04):
have been.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Getting big girals. I'm messy got two goals.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
The way the commentators one around the world is talking
about MESSI right, it's as if he's one hundred and nine.
They're going, this ancient man has matched to score five
goals so far. The torment I actually google is how
old is MESSI? He's actually thirty nine today today is
Leonel Messi's birthday. He's thirty nine, But you think they
came of like he's one hundred and nine.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
That's what that's his job.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
He's still able to kick goals and so yeah, he's
thirty nine. Yesterday, you know, we were talking on the
show and I was asking people, has anyone gone to
see Toy Story five? Because I've read the reviews and
they've been quite dismissive of it, And a lot of
our listeners went to see it at the weekend and
really enjoyed it, and on I know we do double
thumbs up, but on their recommendations alone. I took my

(05:48):
twenty year old, well almost twenty year old daughter Lois.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
We went to see it last night and we loved it.
It's good. I would highly recommend it.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'll tell you more because it's a really special, beautiful
movie that's very different.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
In one key way than all the other previous four movies. Awesome. Yeah,

Every Wednesday, the middle of the week, we ask you
how your week is going so far?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
What is your three word Wednesday? What's a few pats?

Speaker 8 (06:46):
I reckon, I'm pretty nifty and I'm pretty I reckon,
I'm up as we're coming to Wednesday. I sold my
daughter's school blazer, her old school blazer on Facebook Marketplace,
which is great because you know, it's just hanging in
the wardrobe.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
On does it costs so much money? This uniforms across
a fortune?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
So anyway, so also, what who is it Irmary making
their blazers?

Speaker 7 (07:07):
I don't know, but they got the.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Most expensive blazer.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Insane, But their outfit you get to go to, like,
you know, a fancy party or a christening or a wedding,
is a fraction of what we're putting.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Our kids in.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
It's just insane.

Speaker 8 (07:19):
It's insane anyway, So the man that bought it came
and before he got there. Of course, we've got a
big fluffy white dog. He's got a double coat and
fur just sticks to it.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
We got the dog and the cat. It's inane. It's
just like his hair sort of just choice flew the air.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yes, I don't even know how it gets on clothes
that he can't have gone anywhere near.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Well, it's so funny. Audrey says, she'll go to school
and her friends have got Prisley.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
For fur transference in our house.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
It's insane.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Tell me this, Pats, I'm interested. Right.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
So the girls' schools over the years would have like
a shop where you could sell the stuff, but you
go and direct so you can make more money.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
There's a website the man No No, I.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Got it because they take a cut. It's the mum
selling it as well. It's like a mum mafia.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
It's actually really streamlined and brilliant. It just listen.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
You don't even have to like put in the ad.
There's like a list of what you've got tick the
box and it just takes you through the steps and
it's just brilliant books, calculators, uniforms, sports equipment. It's really
really great anyway, So this guy came, but before he
got there, I thought, I've really got a brush down
this jacket. It's carvered in Dogford, so I knew it

(08:30):
was coming and I dumped it on the sofa. Only
Prisley sat on it. It's like, yeah, of course you would.
You wouldn't have sat on that, you know, place.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
On the sit on him and watch TV. It's like
a giant beanbag.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
We've got one of those, you know those rollers sticky things.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh, we got them everywhere. Yeah, I have to take one.
I've got one in my bag at work. Ry hair
on me got.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Here a little bit.

Speaker 8 (08:56):
Anyway, we were out of the sticky things. I thought,
oh gosh, what am I going to do? I can't
hand over this jack.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
What about the wet hand?

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Well I tried the dishcloth and it still would stick
to it, and I thought, you know what. I had
the ice and stick vacuum leaning up against the wall.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I thought, you know what, I've done that.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I put it on a hangar and just hoovered.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
It works so.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, patched, it's really reassuring as well. It takes ages
because you've got to use it. Do you use that
super thin nozzle.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
No, I just hit a proper vacuum.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
Oh wow, vacuum the one that goes on the floor.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, he had loads of his hair already stuck in.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
The dicens are so good. So I just laid it
on the carpet and just like went over. I couldn't
sort of go backwards and forwards because it rolled up
on me, so I could just go.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You should have got you should have fetched the blazer
on Presley and then hoovered on that like a close horse,
A literal horse.

Speaker 8 (09:50):
Just came home halfway through and he goes, what on
earth I just walked into? But it came up perfect,
and the man came He was happy. I was happy,
being a baby.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Did you tell him you vacuumed it with the dice?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's got a good deal, that dog hair free blazer.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
That's true, right exactly.

Speaker 5 (10:09):

Yeah, it will.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Well, it's a thirty six hour drive. It's three four
hundred kilometers. Oh my gosh, thirty six hours.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Just just I can't wrap my head around that.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
You'll be able to do like ten laps in the
UK for those thirty six hours. You could probably do
all the European countries in thirty six hours.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
How many hours you allowed to do a day? If
he's a lorry drive, they were set amountain is it
age or ten? Yeah? Then they have to break so
he must have been driving for days.

So he's actually said hoping hoping to get home that
he's hoping to get home.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Well, I hope we do see you Friday. It would
be amazing, it a miracle.

What pressure on the show?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now, let's let's call Steve Lamb actually and find exactly
where is he so we can dine, do the maths
and try and track it down and see can he
make it before the end of Friday's show.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Christian O'Connell Show go On podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Did any of us know truck drivers can drive up
to fourteen hours in tontal day. We have to have
obviously mandatory breaks as part of their basic fatigue management.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
I did not know that.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
We've just been told by a lot of the truckies
wondering how many hours can I do a day. Steve
Lamb and his wife will be at the Criterion Friday
for the big live pub show. I'm so excited. I'm
glad we've got some friendlies there. What do you mean, well,
because look we are in We're in Queensland. Okay, this
is their pub, this is their land. We are not

(13:54):
going to be They won't know who we are most
of them. It's their pub, you know, we are but
guests there. You know, we've been helping this project, you know,
the big Pubrenner, But we are guests there, and so
a lot of them. You know, the reaction when I
was just outside that pub actually just smell English from
across the I was across the road, and as soon
as I approached the public in the puperty even start

(14:15):
to speak.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
The guy went, were you There's going to be a
lot of that, A lot of side eye.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Not a side eye, A lot of I also found
from well only Gary, a lot of those very old
familiar doggedah yes, yeah, but watch the cutlery has stated
that was every five minutes some variation.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
On that, offering you a warm beer.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah that's because you, like they said, with some mud
in it and stuff like that. But you're not used
to all this heat, et cetera. Oh it's cold today,
but you love the cold, don't you? All of that
as well, So at least we've got Steven Amm and
his wife.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
True, we've got one on our side, so.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Maybe we should have a VIP section for listeners. At
the moment, it's just Steve and his wife. It's a
very very small, very small, the world's smallest VIP section.
All right, Rio is going to tell us something that
he saw yesterday, and two things.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Two reactions before the show. When he started talking about
me and.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Lockie, we all were like deeply excited and animated and
activated in what Rio had seen. Caitlin and producer Tina,
the two Chuckle sisters, were bored, didn't care at all.
And I then talked about that bored them and they said,
we're not remotely interested in this. I said, Tina, do
you find it interesting? She was like, no, not really,

(15:31):
And so we think it's a guy thing. Is this
a guy thing? What did you see yesterday? And I'm jealous.
I wish you would have called me. I would have
I would have come around to watch it with you.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
I had the best afternoon ever yesterday. On the end
of my street, this big block of houses were getting demolished.
It was demolition day, so they had all the big machines,
the excavator that's the only one I know the name of,
rolling in and I said to the guy, oh, when
are you doing these? He goes today? I said oh.
When he said one o'clock, I was like, can I

(16:02):
just stand by the fence, he goes, Yeah, no worries.
So I went down, stood by the front fence and
watched for two and a half hours as they dismantled
this Oh crash took them, took the roots, and then
they hack it like the middle. I don't even know

(16:23):
what it's called. And then it starts to tumble down
and they start scraping it away, and then they moved
to the next Is there a wrecking ball? There wasn't
a wrecking ball. Now, movies and cartoons have led me
to believe.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Sorry to be fair, led us up the garden path
of lives.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
There was no wrecking ball, and sadly, there was no
what do you call that T and T detonators detonator
that I was sort of expecting in a residential area.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Returning it now, if the people who run Chao Sports
want to make extra money, start streaming demolitions around Australia,
lies I gladly pay up to nine dollars ninety a
month for just demolitions and building has been blown up.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'd happily pay for that.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
It's so couldn't leave. It was like I was HYPNOTI
literally two and a half hours one thirty. Yeah, and
I could have stayed longer, but you do have things
to do eventually, and.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
What are you alone? And were there other men? Because
it's like a magnet to men.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
There were every single man that walked past was drawn
to it and would stay for at least ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
It's like moss to a flame, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, literally nearby, I reckon, there's they smell is at
the dust in the air, and someone there's a building
being flat right now, and you just know where it is.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
And we didn't say a word to each other. No
one spoke to each other. We just stood there.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Silently watching a building being destroyed.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
It was awesome.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
And then there's nothing. Yeah, and then and then it's hours.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
Raised to the ground and then they start picking the
stuff up, putting the skip. I could have watched that
as well. That was fascinating.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Patty, are you interested in if.

Speaker 8 (17:54):
I can't believe you've got two and a half hours
in an afternoon, if any afternoon, to just sit.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Kids and watch my partner and sisters hearing it for
the second time.

Speaker 9 (18:05):
Ten minutes is even long enough that half of the
men are standing there watching that all they're doing is
knocking something down, it's just gonna go crash.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
No. No, the big equipment, you know, and being able
to use that kind of big, heavy equipment but using
it delicately and with precision, those are skills I don't think.

Speaker 9 (18:23):
I just wouldn't even think that far into it. I'd
just be like, oh, that place is getting knocked down.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
And the best part of watching it is it's up
there and then you can see when it's about it
starts tension point.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Guys, Guys, guys, just ha, you're not looking away?

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Crash you know what?

Speaker 10 (18:43):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (18:43):
You've started a new trends demolition maxing. It's a new maxing.
Get on board.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
It would appear this is a guy thing.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
So far, based on Fever, no women on the show
are remotely interested in what Rio spent two hours yesterday
as they doing.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Abby's just joined the show. She's running our socials, doing
a great job. She's like, no, I'm out. She probably
will fall as editing this.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
This will probably be the video of the year.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
This will go trending more than Shannonole singing Friday doing
his cover of horses. This will be the big one. Yeah, Abby,
when you put this live. Just put in like in
between every other word where you're speaking, just putting buildings
being flattened. Oh, that would be big, big equipment with
those big tires. They don't even have tires have tracks. Yes,
do you know what used to be on the news,

(19:33):
and I say, bring it back? When they were blowing
up a multi story building. This used to be on
the tea time. And when it would be like the
first or second story, like a big old seventies tower
block was get being blown up, something.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
In Vegas or something in Australia.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
They don't do that on the news, zon. Why have
we moved on from that? I know what?

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Bring it back? Are we not demolishing buildings.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm sure we're flattening very big old buildings to make
way for you more expensive apartments and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
But they must be blowing them up. Why are we
knowing about this? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (20:04):
Is that Patty? You need to talk to the news
industry and say bring it back.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
All right, So a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Maybe I've got this wrong, but I'm just basing on
our research and feedback so far. This is definitely a

I love hearing.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
About it too. I'm a lady. But why does RIO
keep seeing raised to the ground?

Speaker 1 (21:15):

ais ed to raise something about raised ras z ed
is the correct phrase and correct wording to raise it
to the ground.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Patsy's a journaist, that's right, Is it.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
Yes, that's correct.

Speaker 1 (21:30):

Demolished behind our property a couple of years back, and
I was watching it from the windows upstairs between meetings
over the two day process. Well you had like vip yeah,

I carried about a four foot branch from the beach
back and to give to my wife, and my wife went,
I don't want that. I don't want that. Then I
just carried it back the next day.

Patty, I'd be nine to drag his stick.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Other things guys love throwing a large rock off a bridge,
egging each other on by saying you won't you won't,
Military helicopters, making fires, big, putting things apart to fix
and then not fixing them.

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
You've just tuned into our demolition station. Ria was lucky
enough to seeing a building just down the road, Froy
Limits being demolished yesterday and spent a glorious two hours
watching it all.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
I'm jealous, Christian.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'm more excited by the way Ria was explaining, explain
the situation like he was reading a chapter from a
Stevie Steamy romance novel that comes from Crystal.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
A lot of you are saying, find the audio from
when they had to sadly a well washed up on shore,
very big, like a nine ton forty five foot well,
washed up dead. It got beached on a in Oregon,
Florida in nineteen seventies. A very famous story. They couldn't
cut it up, the hat to blow it up.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
Well, that's that's problem solving.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Yeah, haven't listen to this then, this is from the seventies.
It had a stinking whale of a problem. What to
do with one forty.

Speaker 14 (26:19):
Five foot eight ton whale dead on arrival? It couldn't
be cut up and then buried because nobody wanted to
cut it up, and it couldn't be burned, so dynamite.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
It was some twenty cases or a.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Half ton of it.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Oh what, let's play on?

Speaker 14 (26:38):
Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor
of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run
for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Cool pieces of meat passed.

Speaker 14 (26:49):
High over our heads, while others were falling at our feet.
A parked car over a quarter of a mile from
the blast sight was the target of one large chunk.
Everyone on the scene was covered with small particles.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Can you men the smell a whale blubber from the sky?

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Nine tons of it?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Ye any more than aren't to do with? Like the
sandstone is the talk of China.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
I'm getting to that us best for last.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Let me start with the best, all right.

Speaker 9 (30:09):
Helden sandstone is world famous and has been used in
major buildings like Brisbane City Hall and the Treasury building.
But not only that, flex China absolutely loves it.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Day by the mad held sandstone? Is it?

Speaker 9 (30:28):
Which is incredible for such a small little town.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
What's that good about the Helden sandstone?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, Hellden Queens. These are the producers.

Speaker 9 (30:40):
High quality sandstone which is highly sought after by the
Chinese developers.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Which is high quality.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
Obviously they've searched the whole world and they said, nah,
Helendon is the best yet Nah.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
As we say, we want some of that delicious Helden
spring water and we have some of these sandstone as well.
If it's good enough for breezy town Hall and Treasury.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
We have it all right.

Speaker 15 (31:08):
Okay, that's the end of the the best to last.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
I thought, I thought, I thought the sandstone was to
be finisher.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Also, just remembering that currently only about one thousand people
live in Helendon.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Why do I need to remember that? I don't work

Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast, Christian, the Chuckle Sisters, scare me,
don't get scared.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Santo. How the show matched to work with them? It's astonishing.
I agree, they are astonishing. I am daily astonished. And
I would say, Santo, that's some of their best work
this year. You'd agree with o is some of their finest.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Work this year.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
It's brilliant.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
It is a terrible, dreary old match right now, I'm
happy that I'm not I'm actually doing the radio show.
I'm watching the Ghana Gharana have come with one game
in mind against ing to day live in the World Cup.
It is seventy seven minutes into play second half and
still Neil Neil. They've just come to basically defend and
not let any calls through. It's set a very miserable
record this game. It's the first game in this World

(33:02):
Cup zero shots on target from either team. England won
the favorites in the second half. It's the first game
that's in the second half no one's had a shot
on target.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
I've never seen Ghana with the ball. Every time I've
looked up, I've never seen them with it.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
We're still getting message, by the way, that from women
saying they love demolitions and watching themself. Please keep them going,
all right, t next twenty minutes then before we get
after eighty gots and into this week's while are the odds?
Your stories of coincidence and chance are stories after eight
We're looking for two weights. You can jump on the
phone today and give us your story. On thirteen fifty five,
twenty two famous last words and dangerous NaNs. Yesterday we

(33:44):
were talking about falling and just looking for your falling stories.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
We had so many great calls. All the calls we
had actually were brilliant.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Fifty percent of them involved listeners when they were young,
staying with a grandmother who didn't care for health and safety.
Which is why I want more of these stories about
dangerous NaNs, because that NaNs seem to care.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
It was even less so than granddad's.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yes, true, they just wanted you outside and didn't care
what you were doing or would would observe you. Now
as that grandparents are heavily involved and obviously thank God
to keep young people alive, but back in the day
it wasn't like this. So your stories of dangerous NaNs
and then also famous last words, rio you've got You've

(34:28):
got to still about famous last words.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yes, the famous last words were oi watch This were
at my friend Rachel's house party in year ten and
there was me and my best mate Nathan, who's quite
little and I think was a bit of a late
bloomer as well, so there was a big weight difference.
We're on the trampoline and you know how if you
time it just right, you can do the double bounce

(34:50):
on the world. Yes, so one person bounces and then
if you just I don't know, there's like an innate
instinct you have as a teenager where.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
You just go that rhythm right.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yes, it's almost like Miles Davis in jash in jazz
is the half beat. It's a syncopated thing, you know,
Jean Crooper drumriff. Exactly the exactly you start. The girls
start this trampoline and their favorite thing in the world,
where you know, you were slightly scared and you were
getting and you were giggling and also terrified. Was me
getting on doing the double bounce? No, no, no, don't

(35:25):
do it, but they wanted me to do that.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
That's the best thing as a kid.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
You're on the course, were like being really scared and
really excited. It's fullow liveness. We were exactly in that spot.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
So I said, oh wait, watch this, and then I
bounced Nathan. So Nan, he's a little fella, he's still
pretty little. He went into the air. It was like
a Looney Tunes cartoon and you immediately know all with
all this has gone too well because he was just
and the time you expect him to start coming down in.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Your memory this story. He's up there for like an
hour when we all see these stories.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
Because time slows down, and be like, he should be
coming down now, but he's just getting higher and higher
and higher. And then you're like, well, I can't. I
can't help him because he's up there and I'm down here.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Please tell me lands back on the trampoline.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
Well, in a way, he's coming back down, and I'm like,
he's is not going to land on the net, and
you can, but there's again nothing I can do. So
in slowly catch.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
A baseball, catch tiny the little mitch.

Speaker 6 (36:31):
He comes down and he lands in you know, like
the steel bars in between the net.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
There's russ there.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
He's dangling, dangling his legs.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
And it's not right up the old bullsack.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
I think it was on the knee. He's like a
turtle on you know, a turtle. He's just dangling and
I remember half he's on a mission, and no, I
just remember not being able to help him because I
was laughing so hard and he's like, ah, my name.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Those are some of the best moments of a childhood, aren't.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
They Just dying of laughter? And the poor guy was
on crutches for like a month afterwards his knee. But
at the time hilarious.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
A great time.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
I was had my all apart from tiny, poor old
Natan all right, famous last words and dangerous NaNs?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Christian my famous last words of oh gas, no breaks.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I was in Nice, France doing a bike tour and
we were flying down a huge hill. I had my
phone in my right hand. This is a key part
of the story. I flew past the group screaming all
gas no breaks. I started getting the death wobbles and
went to pull the break, but I couldn't get my
hand to the to the break because my phone was
in my hand. I was too scared, so these phones

(38:03):
too scared to let go my phone and trying to
put it away to pull the front brake. I defied gravity.
I'm actually get my phone away, put on the front brake.
I went vertically straight up in the air, tumbled forward,
traveled about one hundred meters on the ground, eating gravel
in France, and that French gravel, it is no Helenn Sandstone.

(38:25):
I then spent the rest of my trip visiting various
European pharmacies and hospitals because my arms were we.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Don't need to get into that phrase. Oh my word, Emma, Yeah,
what a phrase. All gas, no breaks. That's a chuckle,
sister sometimes Sena, good morning.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I was living in North Queensland. I went to a
zoo up in North Queensland with a couple of friends
and one of my friends at the time said, I'll
watch out for the geese so they can bite you.
And sure enough, just as he said that at the time,
he got bit on the butt by the goose. And
five minutes later we were there there were kangaroos around.

(39:08):
People see kangaroos, and he said, well, you've got to
watch out for the kangaroos, and just as he said that,
he got punched in the private area by the kangaroo.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Yeah, kangaroo animal. That is funny.

You're right there in the most private areas.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
And also they're about six or eight foot. They've got
to really wind up that.

Speaker 1 (39:46):

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Christian.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
September last year, my husband and I set off from
Melbourne on a road trip to far North Queensland. Day one,
about twenty k south of Hey. We hit a bump
on the boat. Traider detached from the tow bar at
one hundred k's an hour. Luckily no mad to damage,
but the tow ball bar had failed and was stuck
in the middle of nowhere. Husband drove it to Hay

(42:08):
for new towball and jack, leaving me to guard the boat,
which I realized He's more right about that than leaving
his wife in the middle of No One. Whilst I
was waiting with patchy phone reception, a bloke in his
U passed, turned around stopped to holt. When I explained
the situation, he said, do you want me to lift
the boat with my crane? Sure enough, he had a
hydraulic crane on the back of his hute because it

(42:31):
is as Australia. Within minutes he'd lifted up the trailer.
How can he get it back on? The car packed
up and left stuck in the middle of no One.
Need a man with a crane? The universe sent me
one Christian, one of the odds I sed to live
in Sydney. One morning I walked into my regular gym.
Sitting on the bike was a chap who took my eye.
I didn't say anything to him. Three weeks later, I'm
back in the UK. I walk into the gym. It's

(42:53):
the same bloody guy.

Speaker 12 (42:54):
No way.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
How was he going? So you were in Sydney three
weeks ago? He was.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
He also was on holiday night me in the UK.
We chatted and had a coffee. Oh celeve as they
say now a correspondent here Angela has meant to say
cel Ave, but she's Timetown. I mean, I don't alto

a holiday and I have a Greek friend here in
Australia who I work with. His name's Archie, and he
was sending me, you know, photos and memes of places
to go and food to eat. And he also had
some other friends from up where he lives in Rosebud

(45:28):
in Athens as well from Melbourne. I didn't know these people,
and he advised him to go to a place called
Little Cook and they apparently took a video and sent
this video to him, which then he forwarded to me saying, oh,
you should go to this place called Little Cook. And
I looked at this video and my daughter and I
pretty much featured on it.

Speaker 4 (45:49):

Speaker 4 (47:45):
I'm good, Okay, what's your story for us? Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 11 (47:48):
So my wad of the yards, thank you. Many years
ago in the nineteen nineties, my ex husband's father went
on a trip with a group of Vietnam War veterans
back over to Vietnam, and they did lot to sight
seeing obviously, and reminiscing and that sort of thing. So
the extraordinary thing that happened on this trip was that
while these guys were in one of the areas where
the Australians had been based. I want to say, knew it, did?

(48:10):
I think? They were milling around in an open area
and these little local kids came up to them wanting
to sell things that they had. Anyway, one little boy
had a set of dog tags, you know, like the
identification tags that soldiers wear in more. Anyway, the men
were looking at these tags and they flipped them over
and the name on them was the name of one
of the men in the travel party, and they were

(48:31):
his tags that he had lost whilst serving over there.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
What a story.

Speaker 11 (48:36):
It was astounding and the little boy had only found
them the week before.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Wow, oh my god, yes me tell girl got goosebumps too.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
What incredible story, Megan.

Speaker 11 (48:48):
Yeah, it really was. And back in the day in
the nineties, there used to be this show on a
strange television called The Extraordinary, and it was on that
show as well at the time.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Oh wow, we're going to try and dig that out.
I need to know more about the TV show called
The Extraordinary.

Speaker 11 (49:01):
Yeah, the guy used to come on and go the Extraordinary.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
So what was it? Was it real people on the
show with real life.

Speaker 11 (49:13):
Yes stories, Yes, yes, it was there.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
I reckon.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
That's what we've got here every week with what are
the odds?

Speaker 11 (49:23):
Yes, come from that.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
