Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's Audrey's birthday? Oh I've got a fourteen year old?

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Oh wow, my strength.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Got you get into teens now? Congratulations?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Very different parties. So we have a party every sort
of second year, and so we said to it, well,
it's very expensive every year. So we said to her,
what do you want to do this year? Like, what
did you have in mind? And she said, you know, mom,
I just want to go shopping with the girls. So
she's going shopping.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Very strong and any of you one of the girls.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
No, So this is the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
So we're having a lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I saw a lord chair chair my heart breaking slowly.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
So there is a lunch before and Chris insisted last night,
no not just at the local pizza shop.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Wow, so you can have to lang them every week.
Your daughter turning this significant birthday just took the local
piece of sticks on Mom and Dad.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Chris thought.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
He said, if we booked the table, I said, yes, yes,
it's all done, and Audrey goes, Dad, you're not you realize.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
You and Mum aren't on the table.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
With all of this, I remember suddenly being at that
point where you would drop and go.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, but he he'd sort of like get a clue, Chris, He's, well,
like it was genuinely shocked us with us there.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's really still you understand, but it's hard.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Is ver I remember when we had one of those
can you just drop and go and then you have
to sort of you have to then come back and
obviously pay is this then it picks up stuff and
then it's like come on the car around the corner,
don't park up the front either.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
Well, you don't even have a seat at the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You don't want us there are style.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
So we might go to the movies and see Karate Kid.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh wow, yes, I really want to see that. Oh
that's a good time for youase awesome, everyone's happy with that.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Well, yeah, I hope it's good. Is it good?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I don't know, it's had great reviews? Yeah, Okay, So
we're fine, and tell me this, how do you feel
having a fourteen year old daughter? Now?

Speaker 5 (02:38):
You know? I, oh, gosh, You've got me on the
fly because I feel it's just this rush of you know,
I didn't know that things were going to be for
the last time. So we're feeling that very very strongly,
and I'm going to get emotional. And next year she

(02:59):
might be looking at doing exchange overseas and that that
for me, like I'm actually feeling myself flushing up. It's fly,
dirty fly I want her to have. Of course, all
those experiences.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Still breaks, but it's the right kind of heartbreak.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I know it's heartbreaking.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
How how has it gone so fast?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
And I'm telling you now as well, just save everything
and there are suddenly that all these lasts so you
don't even know they are the last. But also you've
got all these you've got all these firsts as well.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I know.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
And that's what people forget. We're very good at knowing
what we're going to miss, but you don't really think
about what you're going to get. And there are loads
of really great firsts all coming up as well.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
But that's the thing.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
That was such a mishmash because especially as both you know,
busy working parents, you are just it's like a marathon,
especially doing you know, breakfast hours.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's just running a business together. It really was.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
It was just getting to Friday and then you've got
the weekend to rest and recuperate, and so you kind
of felt like it was a rush of first steps.
And Chris said to me the other night, actually he said,
I don't remember Audrey starting to crawl.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
How did she crawl?

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I know she didn't like, it wasn't traditional all. Force said,
I don't remember it, And I said, don't feel bad
because I don't remember her first stick.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, no, I don't know. I know it's really frightening.
And you suddenly think, oh my god, I'm now like
my parents. You know where she get anoy going. How
could you not remember?

Speaker 5 (04:19):
But I should remember that, And I feel like a
bad parent for it. It's like if only if you
could just have that that time there. Yeah, I think
everyone feels the same do Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's incredible, But what I will say is like they
put too much emphasis on like you know, Gole's camping
trips with your kids. But I caught it like quality
junk time. And actually some of the some of the
best times with the girls, they just want you to
hang out with them. It isn't really about what you're doing.
And so some of my favorite memories really my time
being a dad, it's actually just been on a couch, laughing,
watching TV with snacks. In fact, if that if I

(04:50):
had to choose how I ended this world, it'd be
on a couch with the kids, snacks and a glass
of wine as well, it will be doing that that,
So just save all Yeah, and also you've got loads
more You've got loads more time ahead.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
It just you know, it feels like it's slipping through.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And also I stood also you know, we're dealing with
Ruby's turning twenty one in a couple of weeks time.
So actually I'm having to sort of what I'm saying
to you as one to say, just remind yourself that
you're lucky that you've got kids that have made it
this far. Yes, you know, because there are so many
parents that actually get so far into it and then
have access. And so I'm also counter my blessings. I've
got an eighteen year old and an almost twenty one

(05:26):
year old. Wow, what a ride. Yeah right, I just
have so much gratitude. Yes, of course, but wow, we
so she might be leaving for a while.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Next year, yeah, next year, sometime next year. I think
it's around Easter time.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
So let's make sure we all take that time off
the show and speaking to you you listener as well.
Maybe we do a separate radio show. But Tel pouts allway,
because we're all going to be going through that. They're
all going to be going through that fly bony fly.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Got along servicely up my sleeve.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yes, oh, you must probably be in touched like two
hundred years.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Maybe I'll go that.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Was meant as a joke. Lady kids following us around
the said Italian market looks awfully like your mum in
a beretster. Well, i'll tell you what. Enjoy the weekend
and enjoy.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
It, will I will?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, you know, you're a great mum. She's lucky to
have you. And Chris's parents.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
We're very lucky to have her.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
You know.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
They just surprise you sometimes by some of the things
they say, and you think, wow, you're so mature, And
I don't know why. We think we kind of not
talk down to them, but we probably.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Don't give them. I don't know, the not.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
The gratitude, but the benefit of what they what they're
taking in and how they're seeing the world.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
And you know, really it's.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Our it's our benefit because we've learned so much through
her and see the.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
World's honestly, that's such a true thing. The biggest teachers
in my life for my kids.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Still, I've learned more about myself through being a parent.
And also when you drop off tomorrow and she doesn't
want you there, that's a sign that you've done a
good joint, honestly, because you do see other kids that
aren't there, and I actually feel sorry for them because
actually that's not doing it right. If you've done it healthy,
they should feel real looved and safe when you're not there.
It shouldn't be that they have to have you around
to feel safe, exactly. So, even though you will be

(07:18):
a bit like bloody, ell, go and join the US. Git. Yeah,
that's her karate Git, they're going day drinking again in
that ninety all right, we'll get into double thumbs up
coming up next to Patsy enjoying tomorrow and hebe already
has a great birthday, all right. Coming up in next
tent and Gold one I four point three. We'll get
into this week's double thumbs up when we go around
the team. And two what the things that we're enjoying

(07:39):
this week?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's Gold Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Friday morning time for double thumbs Up. This is where
we go around the team, Me, Rio and Pats were
talking about the things we're enjoying this week, all right
for me? Then two TV shows. One, we just finished
a brilliant, brilliant bri This is my favorite drama of
the year. Department Q.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
I've heard about it.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Wow, we what a great show. Ended brilliantly as well,
sets up neatly for the second season based on a
series of ten Booksfully, there's going to be a couple
more seasons to go. Great cast, but just a really
really smart thriller where you've got no idea. You can't
say yeah, yeah, I saw that coming. My wife was
trying to do that. Yesterday. We actually had an argument
on the counch my wife and I and my wife

(08:23):
actually said this to me, come on, you gotta be honest.
She goes, this is one of my wife's catchphrases, other
than I told you so and admit I was right.
Is come on, she said, I'd be a better detective
than you. What Alex, Yeah it is. I took it personally.
Team but anyway to Apartment Q. I cannot recommend that
show enough on a Netflix. And then we watched a really,

(08:45):
really a fascinating documentary about a really sad story two
years ago. Do you remember the Ocean Gate disaster?

Speaker 6 (08:51):
Oh my god, yes, the submarine.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Submersible and there were five people that lost their lives.
They've made a documentary about it called Titan, and it
is fascinating. Oh my god. It's sadly a story of
billionaires who are entitled and ignoring experts. It's a hard
watch time, but it is fascinating and gripping. It feels
like a story of our time as we're surrounded by

(09:14):
these billionaires with way too much power. You watch a
guy who actually ruined people's lives and it's a sad,
sad ending to it, but there's something really timed and
it's such a well made story. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
It was so chilling at the time because I remember
we all knew how long they were down there and
how much oxygen they.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Had and there were rumors about the noises of clanking
down there. I'd forgotten about it, even though it's only
two years ago, because there's so much history that's happening
right now in our lives. It's got so much change,
so I forgot. Oh my god, that was two years ago,
and I didn't realize at the time they were dying
they were going down to the site of the Titanic.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
Is that what it was?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Forgot one of them.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Was it a great or great great grandparents had been
on Titanic or something?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, yes, So it's strange that it happened near you
know it was it was multimillionaires who were doing this
when it was very rich people that also perished. There
were also poor people that were on the Titanic as well.
But I can't recommend it enough. It's a hell of
a documentary, so well made. It's called titan that's on Netflix.
What's it for you? Reo?

Speaker 8 (10:21):
I started watching are finished watching the stand documentary Joe,
which just came out about Joe Biorki Peterson, who I
honestly knew nothing about. He was the Queensland premier from
sixties to the eighties, and he was a tyrant and
he ran the sort.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
He had a long run.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
They had a very long run.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Two decades two.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, sixty five to eighty seven or something like that.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
And it is fascinating because it really is, especially living
in Trumpian times at the moment, the playbook for Trump
and it's absolutely fascinating.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Save Yeah, I've seen the trainer for it on stand.
It looks great.

Speaker 8 (10:57):
It's not like you're watching it and it's hard to
believe that it's Australia.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
It's crazy the stuff that happened.

Speaker 8 (11:02):
Declared a state of emergency just so the spring Box
Rugby tour could come over. He was high one of
the most polarizing political characters of our time and I knew.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Nothing about that in twenty years time when there'd be
Dan Andrews once. Because anything you're saying, you can place
that with his name with Dan Stave emergency. I'm getting PTSD.
We shut the city down. Two people aren't well.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
But ye highly recommend it's on stand. Australian original documentary.
Richard Roxbury's Grove incredible.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Ah. He's such a great ossy actor, isn't he? Yes
from Rake Rape so fantastic. In the Crown.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Oh he was in the Crown.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, such a good actor. We'll take about when we
come back. We'll ask Patsy what's she into at the moment,
and please tell us what TV shows or movies are
you enjoying at the moment. What do you recommend? Text
me four seven five three one o four.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Christian O'Connell Show. We're doing double thumbs up. We go
around the team talk about the things we're enjoying this week.
It's a demonstration coming up now with r Patsy. Patsy,
what have you got?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I've got an avocado?

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Seriously, is this not the I reckon I've discovered the
best avocado.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Looks beautiful, it's beautifully shaped.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
You are you know that's a perfect.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
An avocado.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
If you guys could see this avocada, it is a
good one.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
It's got money, it feels like it's got a good
half to it.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
And you know, summer either too squishy or hardest rock.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
This is absolutely perfect.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
So my friend Pado reckons that she has coined the
perfect way to get the pip out of the avocado.
Because you either you can cut your hand like you
have to flick it out and then you get all
mark on your hands. So this is great for radio
because there's no pictures. But basically, so you're cutting in
the middle. I'm cutting in the middle demonstration, right, Okay,

(12:57):
so it's cut you twist.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
On the floor for someone to fall on and hurt themselves.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Look at the size of the pip in it.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's like a tennis ball, so perfect. Avocado, absolutely sensational. Right,
So normally I would get the knife and go did
you do or try and dig it in and annoying?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
No?

Speaker 6 (13:15):
No, no, over, flip him over onto.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
His belly, turtle and just like you're burping a baby,
give him a little windy and squeeze and I really
hope this works.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Wow you know, wow, wow, waste of radio time. We're
not getting back. I liked it. We just get a
spoon and do it.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
You lose some of that two mills and avocados.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Getting back. No, no, no, radio lost, double thumbs down,
double thumbs down, double bumbs down. No do the news.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
You're welcome Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Christian, thank you very much for your recommendations and double
thumbs up. I'm currently halfway through a season of a
very sad story. It's called the Carton Football Club. Do
not watch it.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Two thumbs down.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Wow yeah, so, oh my god, don't air any more
of their games this season. Seriously, that's no one's idea,
even the club, the fans out of a fun Thursday night.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
It's not even funny anymore.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
It's just sad. No, I feel sorry for the fans. Patsy.
I just remembered, obviously already turning fourteen tomorrow, I've brought
a book in for you. Actually, this my wife and
I have kept. Actually it's called Being Fourteen by Madonna King,
Helping fierce teens become awesome women. I suddenly remember that
this book literally was a bible for Sarah and I.

(14:43):
If you've got daughters who are becoming teenagers, this book
is incredible changed the way we raised our daughters. So
Patsy and has my gift to you.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Oh thank you. That is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
A message went around the team late last night, chilling
one very good Patsy's birthday. Oh my god, she's a
monster at the best time, perhaps just the first time
we've been on air for your birthday. We're not really
on a break.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
I know, you know today, so my birthday is today
in audience tomorrow. She's nearly born on my birthday.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
This is incredible, I know.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
And you know what, it's funny because you know the
struggle we had to get Audrey. She took five years
Chris and his mum was.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
To get her out. She didn't want to have out.
There was this cozy in that so long old birth
it was past was in labor for five years. That's
why she's a little bit cranky.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
No, Chris and his mum were the same, so she
was born Christmas even then Chris on Christmas Day, and
I think it was something spiritual because she had passed
by the time we got pregnant with Audrey. I think
she had something to do with it. It was just
coincidental that we also share our birthdays, as Chris did
with his mum. But Ud said to me last night,
you know, Mum, this is the first time in fourteen years,

(15:56):
in all of my life that we haven't woken up
together on our birthday together. And Bak it's normally survey break,
but I think it's also like it's also a transition
of her maturing and getting older. It's like that separation
is real because we're not waking up together.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
But it's beautiful to share a birthday with her.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Now I understand the other day we didn't get it
real when pats was talking about how much it meant
to when someone sent her a photo of an old
boat called Patsy. Yes, you know, we didn't know at
the time that she was staring at the barrel and
so you see an ancient old still Reddick is one
of those is called it. And now I understand what

(16:37):
she's like. That's me but still sailing beautiful, Oh yes,
but still going strong.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Christian O'Connell.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Podcast just mentioned we are all in d DF Double Denham.
I just realized now what I'm really why about? What
if something? You know, there's a lot of news going
on this week. Anything could happen. Obviously during today's show,
suddenly something very serious happens. We have to then talk
about the show, and then all the all video shows

(17:09):
I was included are filmed. There's then a clip that
goes up and I'm in Triple denhim archival footage, and
there'd be no explanation of why I look like that.
People just thought, My god, that guy really love the
eighties rocking it in twenty twenty five when World War
three broke out? Why was he in triple denim? History
will look poorly the judgment, it will judge us. All right, now,

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Let's do it now. The reason why I've chosen Patsy
and not Yurio is Patsy is a perennial evergreen choker
with quizes under pressure. So I don't think I don't
think we'll be getting more than five bues. I think
we're safe. The bank of the show is going to
be Okay, Patsy, are you ready to play?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
The news my performance.

casual to do that, to present the news serious at
the moment Israel and you're rocking double denim today in
eighties news.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I don't know. I feel quite good in my skin today.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
But I'm looking around the team. The team look all good. However, yesterday,
when we were talking about that we're doing DDF Double
Denim Friday, Hang, let me just play the production.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Dendem Dynams. Might it looks so bad by the way.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I gote email from one of our listeners, James, who said,
I'm not sure if you know DDF is an adult
movie company. Oh no, James, if you know that, keep
it yourself. You don't want someone like me reading it
on the radio that you know about that, because if
you know about that, you know you know, and you
don't share that knowledge with a city. James, I don't

(22:21):
even want I was going to google where I go.
Some threads aren't meant to be pulled, so I speak.
I really don't want to find out the answer to
what does that stand for? What happened? Anyway? What I'm
saying is yesterday a lot of you said, Hey, Christian,
I'm with you. I'm going to rot the double Donnie,
where are you now? I'm here all alone in Double Dnham.

(22:43):
There's I'm not seeing any photos for my listeners, not.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
No Canaan even said so just Kennan said, you know,
maybe get hashtag and then when they're posting the photos
want we don't worry about that than there are no photos.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
It's not going to be trendy.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
The only people doing this are us. That she's something
really sad. I've actually knows how going home. I'm getting
the train back today that I can't explain to people
why I'm in triple Jeni with white trainers. What was
the funny thing in the under the cover of darkness?
Now when it's daylight just looks like this doesn't look right.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
You The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I'm poised in front of my inbox. I'm monitoring the
phone lines, the text, the fax machine. Not a single
Solos rock in double dinnim today. It's just nine of
us an entire city. It's like a sad fancy dress party.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
Can I just say, I'm so jealous that you guys
just got to wear this every day?

Speaker 1 (24:46):
In the eighties the best I think, more than I
think the seventies and the eighties, out of all the decades,
had had the best look. I couldn't even describe, like
if we were doing old dress up as the nineties
would be like an oversized shirt, banking oversize but not fun. Yes,
eighties looked good.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
Yeah, you guys look like you were having a good time.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh my god, it was the best, was it? Fashion?

Speaker 5 (25:10):
The eighties was freedom to do what you wanted to
do and just have hair as big as you want it,
like no limits.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yes, everything was big, the hair, the attitude as well.
We sound like an eighties It was big, the hair,
the eighties. All right, yesterna our show. We were taking
you back to playgrounds and we're trying to design our
eighties playgrounds. We're asking you what happened to be in
an eighties playground? This is way before health and safety.

(25:39):
Paul dangerously assembled rocking horse that randomly spits out a
kid onto the concrete and see pull You're right. Concrete,
not the bouncy stuff they get now velvet. You know, concrete, duncan.
What about those nutty rowing swings You sat upposite each
other and roade pushed with your feet to get it going.
You could get it really high, and if an unsuspected

(25:59):
child were a little too close to it, they would
be decapitated. Lucy dog turds that have somehow turned whites Christian.
I think I've ever seen this phenomenon anywhere else. On
my local playground in the eighties, You're right, used to
see white dog poop.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Because no one picked up after they do.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
But why was it white? It's not white anymore? What happened?
What were they? What were our parents giving dogs in
the eighties that they had white poo poos? Yeah, you
don't see a white one. I'd love to watch Antiques
Roadshow and some older put out of a handbag a
white dog tug, you know, and them evaluating it, going,
my god, I haven't seen one of these. It's from
the turn of the eighties. Beautiful, It's been in the

(26:43):
family long, balance, Sarah Christian, What about the wooden roundabout,
which at best would give you a splinter or worse
to throw you off at high speed. Everything in that
eighties playground, right, could just eject anyone at high speed.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Yeah, and as a kid, you had an innate knowledge
of gravity and speed. Like most trampling, you knew exactly
how to tie.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, other kid. And the other thing ilmost thinking about
yesterday after the show was do you remember there would
be a really, really big rivalry when you're playing with
your mates on a playground and then kids some another
schoolcare Nothing got more tribe in life, forget about Rather
and Israel than when the rival school kids from the
rival school. Nothing was said, but it was hanging the tension.

(27:28):
Wasn't it intense rivalry? Just because those kids had a
different blazer to yours?

Speaker 11 (27:34):
How do you remember that? Was so like, oh my god,
look at them, Oh god, it's the boys and Westgates third. Yeah,
all right, yesterday. Then, so lines are up in now
thirteen fifty five, twenty two. What would have to be
in an eighties playground if we're going to recreate it.
The other thing is we want to speak to people
who have an injury. So maybe you're still carrying it

(27:54):
to this day. You're a victim of an eighties playground.
We have some great stories. Yesterday, I was on top
of the.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
Monkey bars and I squeezed between the two pieces of
water and rich my eyelids.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
Monkey bars, two children zero. I think I was trying
to qualify as pic him nest and I went to
lean underneath and do a maneuver called the waterfall, and
I slipped and I ended up landing on the ground
with my wrist underneath me snapped into.

Speaker 12 (28:20):
It was actually my sister.

Speaker 13 (28:22):
My teacher was actually trying to teach her how to
use the massive, big trampoline.

Speaker 12 (28:26):
She was trying to be.

Speaker 9 (28:27):
A smart Alex.

Speaker 13 (28:28):
So as she rolled over to come off, she bit
through a tongue. She had stitches and she couldn't talk
for six weeks.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Who doesn't want more of that eyelids biting through tongues.
We are talking about playgrounds that we grew.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Up with Christian Connor show podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Not a single photo of anyone else in Double Down
Him today. However, I have had a photo come into
my inbox someone listening to me ten minutes ago saying,
whatever happened to white dog poop outwalking their dog? Lumberhold,
I've seen white dog poop. Wow. But you do not
need to send me a photo and put it in
my imbox with any rom image exciting, thinking, Oh I don't,

(29:09):
I'm like I thought first, it was someone that wasn't
a fan of the show. You can't unsee that early
in the morning.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
We didn't ask for you as I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Just take it as reds. I don't want to eat
pits of dog pood clogging up the inbox.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
You shouldn't have to say that, No, I should.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
You think that. We just have some kind of etiquette
between us listeners. All right, So we're taking you back
to the old playgrounds that we grew up with when
they're a lot more lethal dangerous Free range was now
they are and rightly so obviously now they are very
well run and also they seems to have like big budgets,
don't they ye shiny? There's nothing old or I've never

(29:50):
seen anything rusty. The paint was, it felt like it
arrived rusty. Nothing was ever brand new. There was no
moment where this was pristine and it was all like knacked.
Even that that silver slide was like people attacked it
with hammers or something, all like k Yeah. The other
thing is like do you remember it? Also some of
it used to be smeared with dog excrement as well too. Yeah, Christian,

(30:14):
our playground's main feature was a mound of dirt and
it's fun Christian. You could walk up and stand on
the top some days roll down. Playground budgets were not
what they are now from Paul Nicole. As kids, we
grew up with a wizzieds around metal spinning thing with
mesh on the top. We used to lie under and

(30:35):
kick it with our feet to make it spin faster.
Christian dog food in the eighties and nineties had a
very high levels of bone mill which led to the
white dog poo Wow.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Fact.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, thank you very much for the size behind white
dog poop. All right, let's say some calls right now.
Who we got here? Michelle, good morning, Michelle, good morning.

Speaker 14 (30:53):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, we're good. And Michelle, what do you remember the
old playgrounds that we grew up with.

Speaker 14 (30:59):
Well, I impegrated to Australia in the eighties and we went
to a place called Monash Playground in South Australia.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Now this came up a couple of times yesterday. It's
like Folklore's.

Speaker 14 (31:15):
It was the most incredible playground it was. It was
so dangerous, it was perfect in every way.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
They should reopen it, you know, like Disneyland, danger Land,
dismal Land.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
I'm looking at a photo of it now, Michelle.

Speaker 8 (31:31):
It's got these probably three or four massive, massive, massive,
four or five story purely metal slide.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah. No railings, no, no, no, no no, and way
too line for little people.

Speaker 14 (31:45):
He used to actually eject offer and jump the other waves.
It was increcibly drange.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
I was this legal? Yeah, but as a kid, I
bet you, I bet you counted down the day so
you go mat that monass playground. I just love to Yeah, Michelle,
thank you sorry, Yeah.

Speaker 14 (32:06):
That's all right. The spinning tops were the best.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yes, all right, Michelle, thank you very much. Just go
to Andrew. Good morning Andrew, Christian, that's good morning. How
are we Good morning, Andrew. Welcome to the show so
old school playgrounds? What used to be there? Christian?

Speaker 12 (32:20):
Let me just paint the picture. Christmas holidays. Family of
six kids, brothers and sisters off to the playground at
the caravan park. Mum and dad say, look after the
little sister getting at the big slide for someone no reason, Christian,
you can picture this. Why did we always want to

(32:42):
climb up the slide the opposite.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Way rather than totally forgot?

Speaker 12 (32:48):
Yes, standing at the bottom of the slide watching us
boys go up and down, she wants.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
To show off.

Speaker 12 (32:56):
Down the slide comes a boy smack seat straight into
her front.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Please human temp in Bolden, you're going to fly off
like as Yeah.

Speaker 12 (33:07):
Taking the teeth down probably swallowed them where they are
planning face back to mom and dad years of school
photos with no front team.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
They would have taken years so that the new ones
had come through.

Speaker 12 (33:24):
I'm supposed to be the big brother.

Speaker 6 (33:26):
What was the punishment, Andrew? Surely you're grounded for something
now what back up that?

Speaker 12 (33:31):
I do remember Mum and Dad thinking, what have you done?
Wasn't me?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
It wasn't me, Andrew. Thank you very much the story mate.
Have a good weekend, thanks guys. Good morning, Ollie good Yeah,
we're good. Ol So old school playgrounds.

Speaker 9 (33:47):
Yes, so, back in the day we had those wooden
sea saws.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
You remember that one, Yes, yeah, wood and you get splinters, yeah,
really dangerous.

Speaker 9 (33:55):
Yeah yes, And in this case they were supposed to
have the tires underneath him, but I'm pretty sure that
somebody came and stole them.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:08):
So me and my mate were playing on the sea
saw and he decided he wanted to get off at
the bottom while I was still at the top. Yep,
and he got off. I dropped. I hit the grounds
and I felt this huge shiver up my spine and
I realized my tailbone was broken.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
How many times does a kid did we land on
our backside to get that author and goes right up
your spine. Yeah. Literally, you can't breathe for a couple
of seconds. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:38):
I sort of just rolled off in pain and I
thought I could stand up, but I couldn't, So at
that point I just had to go sit in like
one of those doughnut pillows for about six to eight weeks.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
What poor thing.

Speaker 9 (34:51):
Yeah, so it was pretty rough, but got it done.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Well done, all right, Ollie, thank you very much, the
story mate, have a nice weekends a babe.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Christian O'Connell show Gone podcast, Christian.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Nothing beats being at the bottom of the sea saw
while your mate was at the top, and all of
a sudden you jump off and you watch your mate
go dropping down on their ass. You're right. It's how
they came up. The idea for Royal rumble w Joes,
a billion dollar franchise, was basically just McMahon seeing that
in playgrounds, going could we do some of the men

(35:27):
being dropped on their ass as well? That's what the
whole empires built on there. You're at that that pain.
How many times theres a kid would you end up
smashing on your backside? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (35:36):
Your butt copped a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yes. The other thing I think most injured area as
a kid, the knees.

Speaker 6 (35:41):
Oh, yes, great, I don't think there was a.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Week where I didn't have grazed or cuts knees. You remember.
All right, let's get into this week's people play this.

Speaker 8 (35:49):
Yeah, they were listening and calling and choosing the music
and just when hit eh.

Speaker 12 (35:56):
Somebody pay the station chatting lay the people's play Listen, Christian.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Calling right now?

Speaker 1 (36:05):
When help?

Speaker 9 (36:06):
Christian?

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Big the songs for Friday show.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
All right, so twenty minutes time from eight every Friday
on the Christian O'Connor Show, we give you a theme.
You pick all the music, big songs. Now. This theme
has come from a mind of producer Tina aka Inspector
Pika Chow. She's back with a brand new case. What
is it? She herself hit her self with the headphones. Oh,

(36:28):
it's a very strong team I have around me. Now, Tina,
if you've recovered from those very dangerous headphones. I'm a
little confused about how best to explain the theme today, Tina.
I like the theme, but two to.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Two two two two too so to t w O
true T double O or two T O.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
It's a lot of explaining, isn't it your next hour.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Two two or two yeah to two.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
If you just tuned into radio station right in the morning,
you're tired, it's a Friday. Would you understand that, hey,
cording this morning with songs are to tow two? So
what is he saying? Triple two like triple zero? When
then I go no, like t o t or the
number two?

Speaker 6 (37:10):
Yeah, homophones? Does that make it clearer?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Hom Again, that could sound I'm not saying that today,
all right, that could sound confusing, most pronounced. I don't
want people get the wrong idea about today's show, all right.
So normally with this perhaps he goes down a real
one oh one, it's something very obvious. But this week
you've gone with something completely like the Left Field.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Very funny, two strong hearts, John Farlo, Oh no, you
have it?

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Oh cool? Played it yesterday?

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Such a great song.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
It's still my favorite of his.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Number two best selling Ozzie album of all time?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Is that wrong?

Speaker 6 (37:48):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Guess what good?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Number one is a CDC.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Don't think Australian. Oh so it can be any.

Speaker 1 (37:57):

Really best selling album. Of all time in Australia twenty
five times platinum. Whispering Jack by John Farnham second best
selling album but best selling for any local artist twenty
four times platinum.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
I would not a guest meat loafe you could have
given me.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Never would have thought that a meatloaf, because two for
me is two three ain't bad. I've always thought this.
I loved this song right big Saw, theatrical operatic song.
I always thought Elvis would have done a great version
of this. Elvis vibes to it. I love this song.

(38:48):
I just got a flashback too. Did you remember a
couple of years ago we did a show, the last
one of the year in the London pub. Yeah? Yeah,
two listeners sankus didn't they did that? I can't remember.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
I think it was Chris and his friends one of them.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
They both had very good voices, but the big guy
that had like Jack black energy.

Speaker 6 (39:09):
Yes, yes, they do that, they did. I think they
might have.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Actually, Oh my god, someone remember Ria, what are you
going on? Songs with T O or t O O
or the numerical two.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Yes, I have gone with t O yep.

Speaker 8 (39:26):
One of the most underrated songs I reckon of the eighties,
A certified booty shaker with a message of restraint. We
don't have to take our clothes off, mister Jermaine Stewart.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
They're sent up teenagers tunes. This is a great eighty song.
I love.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Yeah, it's so double.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
You're right, Percy right, it's got the word of double
denim alright. Then songs with exhausted in the title or
t O in the title or the numerical two. Yes,
you'll work it out.

need someone with the ladder, someone on lookout. So many
moments where you could just go, we're not really going
to go all the way back now, yes exactly? Or
were they out the game and they probably guessed that
they were going to lose and have the spray paint
ready anyway. But then also I'm not condoning graffiti, but

(46:41):
out of all the messages you see, graffiti sacked the
board is the lamest one, isn't it. And I mean
the finance officer, yeah, he counted, he can bloody go.
The fiduciary Cornick, what ISCI? Yeah yeah, yeah, the whole
hiderspelled hierarchy, they all got to go sack the board
that's the lamest thing, all right. So the other day

(47:04):
we were talking about toasters and Patsy was talking about
those old fashioned toasts, the kind of had like the
double doors. Someone said they've still got one going strong
that their parents have had since they got married forty
odd years ago. So I want to know, this isn't
a time really when things were built to last. These days,
like every two years you got to buy and you'll
just get updates every couple of months. Your phones. We

(47:25):
just now think it's okay every two years to buy
a new flipping phone. And there's so much money. Yes,
oh now it's like a billion megapixels. Oh my god,
I really need that because the cameras are so good anyway,
but anyway we do this. Everything now is built in
kind of obsolecence. Isn't it to be replaced? We don't
think anything of it. But years ago, if you bought
washing machine, that was the washing machine you had for

(47:48):
the rest of your life, and then you would take it.
There's always a guy in the local town. You must
have had those pats There was a guy who just
repaired everything.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
We had, mister Fryer, and I can still remember his
little corner shop. It was like, oh, just this alternate universe.
You'd walk in there and there was parts bit's from
floors and then you.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Were Everything was craziest.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
Knew where everything was and there was nothing that you
could not take.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Him toasters, washing machine. He couldn't mend anything.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
It was amazing.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
My brother went to Ballei when I was in about
grade six, bought Mom and Dad this cassette radio which
still to this day works, but Dad had to take
it to mister Fryer to get the proper Aussie extension
on it because it had like the Indonesian ports on it.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
He knew how to do that. Like everything he could fix,
there was.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Nothing there not a great example of our high level watch.
Change your plug changed the plug? I mean mine, it
was blowing right now, but I don't know what you mean.
It was mister Howis where we lived, and he was
like Patsy said, it was a wise and old man
had also had one of those sort of overcoats they used.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
To wear, the gray yes.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
And he had one those ladders where you know they
slide it along to get up high and perhaps and
with what looked like to us junk coils springs, diodes everywhere,
but knew exactly where things were and could repair anything.
They were like Swiss army knights of like what is knowledge?
What happened to those just sort of just phased out?
No one has that anymore.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
We chuck stuff out and get new.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
That's true, all right, so built to last, what is
still going strong? So the cassette radio still works, Pats.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
It still works, and mum and dad also.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Still have I think we said my mum and dad
still will he turned into mister Fry. My dad is
on the blink. Can you repair my dad? Please come
back next Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
They've still got the Calvinator fridge that I remember very
well that Mum bought when I was fourteen, and it's
still working. I remember it well because Mum and had
always safe.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Don't they leak free on? There's some sort of gas,
mysterious gas. It's not even on the periodic table.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
She's still got to defrost it because it's not.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Now we have like automatic you know, we don't have
to defrost our fridges now. They do everything for us,
don't they. But Mum has to, like once a month,
you'll go around there. She'll have towers and stuff around
it because she's defrosting the fridge.

Speaker 1 (50:15):

color from ninety nine in the box the other week. Batteries,
some of these fifteen years ago no leakage graphics haven't
held up well though, Callum, none of our graphics hold
up well, Christian. I have my dad's old chest freezer.
