Two things are picked up from watching this documentary. He
has a retractable roof. I've never seen such a beautiful,
immaculate home in my life, you know when you see
very wealthy people's homes.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, and you're like, wow, now one you don't want

That just a whole results, an actual kind of gold
class cinema in his basement.

Speaker 1 (01:48):

Speaker 6 (01:49):
What's the true retractable roof? As in like like a
convertible on a car, it fully comes off.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
An entire room.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, but he's been he's been famous for decades like Marvel.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Never had a drink in his life, never had any drugs. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, it's a fascinating document And the other thing is
he just loves watching TV with his family. It's for
Edie Murphy's TV show, you know, and the MTV show

Ridiculousness.

how much he loves his falling asleep watching that show,
as like he's just like.

The other thing.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Then about another icon of entertainment is a brilliant book
that I'm halfway through at the moment, is simply called Clint.
It's about Clint Eastwood, the man and his movies. Same author,
Sean Levy the wrote a best selling book about Paul
Newman that was such a wildly entertaining read.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
This is as well.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Clint Eastwood, another person has been around for a decade,
six decades of acting. And it's not just about his
life and times. It's also, at the same time just
how the culture has has has has changed and transformed
so many times. If you think about how the masculinity
that he embodied, like Dirty Harry, and where we are
now and what's changed and what hasn't changed. It's a

(03:14):
brilliant book. Cannot recommend it enough about entertainment and culture
and the great, the one and only and also brilliant
director as well. Clint Eastwood is simply called Clinton. I'm
telling you now you look at photos of how are
you used to look when he was younger?

Speaker 1 (03:27):

Speaker 1 (04:48):
We've got no idea.

Speaker 9 (04:48):
But anyway, it is brilliant. It is so funny.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Jeff Goldblum just absolutely takes out of himself. He plays
the Wizard and it's just and there is if you
know the story, I'm not going to give anything away,
but at the end of it it had me gasping.

Wicked One Wonderful Night that was shot in the Dolby
Theater in LA recently and shown on the NBC and
we saw it through the week on Channel seven and
it's beautiful.

Speaker 7 (05:31):

like you're sitting in the theater. It's just it's you know, Wick.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
They've done such a great job with that storyn't.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
It's all about it delves deeper into the friendship, and
it's a beautiful story about friendship and love and how
you'll love that you have.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's amazing how the Wizard of Our story is stood
around now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's such the original movie.
We watched Alls the Family again, the original one a
Christmas time. It's still a beautiful story with a really
lovely heart to it. Literally, it's so good. It was
all it was there all along and her all the time. Yes,
it's a great story, and they've done so good with Wicked.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
There's beautiful parts of the Wizard of Oz threaded through
this Wicked for good as well, lovely little nods to it.
That's just I don't know, it honors it so beautifully,
So Wicked fans, it's not going.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
To go and see it.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah, are they good songs left?

Speaker 6 (06:24):
That was my worry because the first film had all
the brilliant songs.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Are still good ones?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:30):

I'm here to clean out the pool.

Speaker 7 (06:49):
The poor boy.

Speaker 5 (06:50):

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah? Do feel like can agonizing weight? Today? Doesn't it
such a pain? Also?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
You know this week I was actually in a really
positive frame of mind. Now it's actually here, I'm terrified
of the next couple of days. You should if only
wasn't the only English guy on the radio in this country.
Suddenly this is a very very lonely next couple of weeks,
five tests, five days, it's the loneliest time to be
in this country. I suddenly feel I can behind enemy

(11:31):
lines some of the stuff that you're sending in that
you're into at the moment. Christian the Penguin Lessons, this
is the Steve Coogan movie on Stan trustory of an
English teacher in Argentina is brilliant. The beast in me
Claire Danes and the team behind Homeland that's on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I started watching it last night. That is outstanding. Christian.
I play golf with my mate who's called Buster Kneesore.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
First name busso is so cool.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Bus is a hell of a name, isn't. It's an
old school name, Christian. I went to a school with
a boy called David Chin. My mom went to school
with a with a I went to school with a
Scotty crutch.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Oh, if you wonder why we're talking about people with
body part names, we did this yesterday. We will be
going back to it because my inbox is bulging with
all the ones.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
That came in after the show yesterday.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Christian James here in w am my babysitter as a kid.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Her name was Nora Bone.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
Good name.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Honestly, the ninety nine percent of the ones that came
in after the show yesterday were just unbroadcastable that were
only involving people with real names, related very aggressively to genitalia.
I was actually deleting them. I didn't want to be
I do you want it?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Ringing me?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Why you've got offensive material in your box? So I
was deleting it all cleansing it was to what it
might leak out accidentally on air. Now producer Tina has
been really enjoying a TV show this week.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Tina, what is it?

Speaker 12 (13:04):
I'm obsessed with Big Brother and it has a twenty
four hour livestream which is incredible.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
Oh, that's a lot of Big Brother.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
So they've gone back to that because when it first
came out, like in the early two thousands, they used
to have the twenty four hour stream. You know, when
the first couple of seasons of Big Brother, it was
genuinely interesting TV. It was a social experiment and the
people going on there weren't trying to get a career
afterwards in media. They were just doing it because they
want to do something different.

Speaker 12 (13:30):
Yeah, it's gone back to the original format. They were
meant to not have any influencers, but they definitely do
have a little bit of them. But otherwise it's got
like a good aide range of people and they're going
a little bit stir crazy at the moment, which is excellent.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Right, Okay, let's secubate when we come back.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Then, we're looking for more of your names than are
body parts. Send them in four seven, five, three, one
oh four three, and please no more ones related to Genitalia.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's a wastte of your time and I cannot do
them on air.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Okay, four seven, five, three, one oh four three names
or are body parts that are not related to the genitals.
I can't believe we've got to say this on the radio,
but I am in Australia.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Christian Gondal Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Now guys talk about the ashes. Okay for four Today Show.
I thought, you know what, let's talk about our ashes
high nights. And I didn't realize how far I had
to go back in a time machine, which is why
I'm now very nervous about the ashes. I was like,
oh my god. The highlights for the Indian team in

(14:31):
Australia are well. I remember one Michael Vaughan and that,
but that was like two thousand and one, and I
remember I was like, that's twenty four, twenty five years ago.
That's that's a burned in highlight. Twenty twenty five there
was the must be all recent one. Then there was
two thousand. I think it was twenty ten, twenty eleven,
Jimmy Anderson at the mcg and the England team just

(14:54):

for ninety eight by Tea on day one.

cooko bar Rory Burns to face.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
We will see, we will see. I hope it's I
really hope. It's a great series.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Actually all right, so after said we're going back to
part two of names that our body parts. Yesterday I
was saying how I was in contact with a guy,
a young presenter here in Victoria actually with the name
Liam Hare. And as soon as I saw his name
is spelled as in the hair on our head, I
was like, can we on the show form a human
body of listeners who know people or maybe it's their

(17:39):
own name that are body parts. Someone's just come in, Christian,
I know a lovely lady named joy Foot. A lady
called Joyfoot has just messaged the show, actually, do you know?
And I used to have a German teacher called Frau Blood.
Frown Blood sounds like a German kind of heavy metal band, yes,
Frau Blood. Christian, my wife's friend is called Michelle Hand.

Patty, how did your daughter or did you get on
in the exam yesterday? Did she smash the subject of
the aztecs?

Speaker 5 (18:16):
I do hope, so, yes, I do hope. So she
was a bit sort of nonchalant when she got off
the bus. Actually, it's like, you know, you have to
squeeze the information out of them and.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know where she's now. She's in those teen years.
They give you nothing. It's not there in prison, and
they don't like talking to the guards. You know, they
don't want to be seen as snitches. You go as
your day. What are you interested for?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
It's just impossible you want to Yeah, it's they just
don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
They're just like this, like the conversational door gets slammed
in your face. Not now with the questions.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
Yes, and it's one word answers.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
If you managed to get answers at all, and you
find yourself asking the most stupid questions like how was
your lunch?

Speaker 9 (18:57):
What was the favorite part of your lunch? What would
you love tomorrow's lunch? You just feel totally irrelevant. But
what's today today is science? So she wasn't looking forward
to that one.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Gently when you hear this, aren't you relieved? You're grown up?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Just he thought of having to prepare for an exam
and was starting to get edgy. Then, by the way,
were fifty two. The exam years are long behind you.
It didn't go out very didn't go very well. That's
why you're on the radio. In Australia's appendance for really now,
and I listen to the list of mankind, actually all right,

cople of weeks what it's about when it's out. But
this weekend very hard to run, but with the ashes
ere so I'm going to try and get up at

I'm just not disciplined enough to steer myself away from
the ashes. It's it's the opening one as well, and

(24:18):
so I have a target by tea time Sunday, I
want to have done ten thousand words. So it's it's
a lot for me this weekend and I'm home alone, Patsy,
What are you up to this weekend? Patsy, you always
have such a crammed weekend so much. You're already good
at going out and about No, you are I get

We have Jimmy bar Kid Rock.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
We have Jimmy Barnes at Mount Dunney tomorrow. He's working
classmen and those. And also really looking forward to seeing

Speaker 1 (25:00):
What a great line up?

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Yeah, isn't it fantastic? Kate Sobrano like, just it's going
to be brilliant. And then on Sunday night, I'm doing
something really really different, and that's going to see Priscilla
Presley at the Art Center. So she has written recently
a book, but she's doing like these intimate sort of
nights where she speaks.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
And a bit like Henry Winkler did.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's good that she's speaking because I went to see
her once and she was just sat there in a
chair really it was kind of have a very strange show.
But yeah, she's been here before when they had the
member the Big Elvis Show.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, yeah, So I'm really interested. I'm hoping that I
won't just sort of hear stuff I already know about
her life with Elvis. I'm hoping there'll be like a
little nugget in there.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're start like, heckling her was married to Elvis, blah
blah blah. Seeing the movie. What else have we got?
Have you got some new gear anywhere else? I thinking
this is just lame stuff about Elvis again.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
And we're you know, like off off bounds with talking
about her daughter Lisa Marie or you know, like I
just want to see how far what she's going to say.

Speaker 9 (26:19):
I'm really interested to see what she's going to talk about.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Rio. You've got a very big weekend.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Rio has finally decided to become an adult, and it's
a lovely journey that he's on right now, right of passage.
And now it is come over to our side of stress,
mortgage worry for the rest of your life and sleepless
nights and why waking up just wide awake at two
am in the morning, wide about what happened if you
could never meet the mortgage requirements.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
So rio well, today's final inspection.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Yes, today's final inspection. Speaking of sleepless nights. Two nights ago,
we had a very sleepless night because there was an
eighty five thousand dollars accounting error. Though they told us,
you know you have to have money in a settlement account,
they said you're eighty five thousand dollars short. So thankfully
that has been resolved. Yesterday afternoon there was an a

(27:08):
by the bank, so I no longer have to I
didn't even know what the plan was if I didn't
have eighty five thousand dollars, But that's been resolved.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
How terrifying that of anyone, it was specially the last
when you can find that money. It was already stretched
to get this place. You'll buying that twelve million dollar
place in.

Speaker 7 (27:26):
Tour Y, so another eighty five.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Anyone guys old and anyone guys old poolhouse you're getting up,
yeah place.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
Yes, you cut me a deal.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
And then later this we have the final inspection, which
I just realized, I don't know what you do there,
like what you go there to check that the house
is working here, like what am I?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
What do I? What am I? That?

Speaker 2 (27:49):
All the furnishings, you know, because there are certain sort
of obligations that they have to leave behind as well.
So it's a check really that that they haven't cleaned
out everything you're not supposed to.

Speaker 7 (27:59):
Right, Okay, Okay, I think I can. I think we'll
manage that. But yeah, that's the last thing, and then
we settle on.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Monchy this And also we found out yesterday this is
a mystery house. You're trying to get the utilities plugged
in and turned on, and all these companies you've called,
see this.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
House does doesn't exist.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
It doesn't exist.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
A lot of people saying ty read to keep quiet.
That means just getting free electricity.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Great point.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
No, now that hasn't been resolved. We still have a
house that apparently doesn't exist in any energy providers. So
that will be part of the final inspection. A checking
the house exists and that there is a house at
the address. And B thank you to everyone that's been
messaging in about the NMI number, which I had no
idea what it was, and they're telling me check the meter.

(28:42):
So at the inspection I will be checking the meter
for the NMI number. Thank you for the advice.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
This is high level adulting. Well done.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Real Alex, what have you got on this weekend? You're
out about with the kids. What are you doing?

Speaker 10 (28:52):
Well, we've got a full house.

Speaker 11 (28:53):
Actually, it's funny with the Melbourne people now, so everyone
that visits Melbourne they come and visit us, and we're
seeing people more in Melbourne than we did in Sydney,
which is quite weird.

Speaker 10 (29:03):
So we've got a friends.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Because you've got you've got three young kids, and then
you've got to entertain friends who are like, we won't
chicken to a hotel. We're just coming stay with you, guys.

Speaker 11 (29:12):
We're going to crash at your place. So we're got
a friend who's standing from Panama. He's just come over,
he came yesterday. And we're got another friend who's.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Friend from Panama. Yeah, I've got friends who've got friends
from Panama. Call him what you want, no, uh.

Speaker 11 (29:26):
And so then we're going to have mother in law's
dangers well, because Bonnie's knee is still really bad, like
she needs an MRI. Of course, she's torn the miniscus
in her knees. So we don't know what we're going
to do like she's hobbling around. So it's all happening
in our house this weekend, and with the three kids
as well.

Speaker 10 (29:41):
What could go wrong?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
And so was she still not allowed to put any
weight on it? No, not really So well, that's really
hard with small kids. Any parent listening to this who's
got an injury or of sickness, you just got to
push on with kids. And so poor Bonnie is sort
of still hobbling around. I think, true, man, I know
why you're torn in to stretch, push on on the couch, Bonnie.

(30:03):
Toys aren't going to pat themselves off the floor by
the souths Bonnie, come home as just to watch this weekend?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Bring me a cold one, Bonnie quickly?

Speaker 10 (30:12):
Yeah, and I had to go. I've been always having
to go up the stairs for her to get a
charger and really, okay, come on.

Speaker 11 (30:19):
No, in all seriousness, it's bad, it's really bad. And anyway,
so that's that's all I had us. She's got to
get an we're not too sure if.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
You did her knee in skiing, and she had to
have surgery and it was a long time.

Speaker 11 (30:33):
In Yeah, and thank you to Sarah for that love
the knee specialist to Bonnie as well, because yeah, Sarah
has been through it too. It's really serious, the tall miniscus.
So we'll find out next week how serious it is.
Fingers crossed, it's not so bad.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
So yeah, we were emigrating and my wife did her
a c L and how to get it repaired, and
it was like a rush operation because it literally is.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
And the last cup of packing up the house but.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Everything in the shipping container and then emigrate to Australia.
When she moved here, she went to see a knee
and song because I hadn't hadn't healed very well, and
this bit massive Aussie guy who'd like knee surgeon of
the Year for about five years running, just went, this
problem is about English surgeons who are the worst in
the world.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
Oh no, you don't want to hear them.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
No, he said, they're allowed for it now. It was
like this, they're renowned for. Your big mistake was to
have the surgery inning news. It's like bouncing his pen.
My wife then burst into tears right and he did
this power move. You know, you don't want a surgeon
who's emotional. You want them to be almost like a robot,
because they're going to be they can't be getting to
and invested.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
He just pushed the box of tissues at my wife,
like hisself out. We're talking about knee business here, and
I was like, this guy is incredible.

Speaker 13 (31:51):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast, we had the back It
Up Cup on Wednesday and the right winner was a
lovely man called Wayne and Wayne won one thousand dollars
and he did an amazing thing.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Obviously, it's a couple of weeks on Christmas and he's
got a family. But Wayne works for an amazing organization
and charity that you can donate to and I'll be
doing that this weekend called Ways.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
He told us all about it.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
He works for them and they support the victims of
family and domestic violence and homelessness. He donated his entire
one thousand dollars to them. Is an incredible selfless gesture
from a really big hearted man. And if you want
to find out more about they're called Ways. Way Doubles.
Now every week on the show, we give you one
thousand dollars. I say week, Mercedes Benz Barrick give you

(32:37):
one thousand dollars for Call of the Week for a
really funny story and obviously it's really hard every week
because every day, if your regular listen to the show,
this shoves about stories ours and yours, and we are blessed.
We've got so many great stories. And I think the
power of Wayne's story, of him telling us about this
charity and just the work they did rehousing over three
thousand women last year. You talk about impact, has really moved. Also,

(32:59):
Mercedes Ben's buried themselves, so they are They're also donating
one thousand dollars two ways as well. They were so
moved by what Wayne did on Wednesday. Thank you very
much to Mercedes Benz Barrett for doing that. And if

Speaker 3 (44:25):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I think a lot of us have got a holiday
story that's more like a holiday story from hell. A
regretication we're calling them, which isn't English, and it's not
even a nice phrase to say, but I'm going with
it anyway.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Let's hear Rio's take on Frank Sinatra.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
Holiday regrets. I've had a few.

Speaker 15 (44:52):
Miss flights, questionable tattoos, forgot my shoes, ad matche Pchu,
got a new Scott Damn Christian, I say give me ten.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
To do it my.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
Way.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Wow, speechless. Quite a take on quite a take on
Frank rolling in his grave.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
He is, I think he's actually getting out of his
grade to come find you for doing that. Actually, all right,
so regret creation stories your holidays from the how you
can call me nine four one four one o four three.
We're doing this over the next week. Best story every
single show you get an immediate five hundred dollars and
then you could be going through, could be going through

(45:58):
to the big Grand Final Friday where on Tommy five
hundred dollars you're sustaining a chance to win a ten
thousand dollars holiday, all thanks to RACV Traveling Experiences. Check
out their Black Friday sow on their website RACV. All right,
so we got the story here from Santo his regretation, Christian,
I hope, well, the story isn't so much about regret,

(46:19):
its pure bad luck. Back in twenty twelve, my wife
and I did a three month US trip and on
our second night in Miami, we returned to our hotel
to find that some of our stuff had been stolen,
including the scoundrels in New York Miami, including my wife's
Tiffany bracelet, charms, my laptop with our family photos, and
a few other items, totaling about two thousand to two

(46:41):
and a half thousand. All right, Santa, it seems up
one of those insurance claims. Now, we always upset it.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
And I also stole everything of our owns the hotel manager.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
The hotel manager and the police reviewed the footage and
discovered it was one of their own staff. Oh nice,
we get this though. These Americans are crazy. What we
were invited to watch him get arrested in.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
Those quest.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Oh, we had a great time in Miami. We got
rob no no, no no has a happy ending.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
This but we could see him being arrested if we had,
if we had the camera, we got some selfish with
the cuffed in Santo. That never heard of such a
carry on, Santo. That that's great.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
All right, let's get to Jess here, let's get Jess
on the show now. Good morning, Jess, welcome to the show.

Speaker 14 (47:41):
Good morning, Christian, thank you.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
That's all right. So Jess, tell us your holiday hell story?
What have you got? What happened?

Speaker 11 (47:49):
So?

Speaker 14 (47:49):
My boyfriend and I have been together for two months.
We went to Coss Harbor for my sister's engagement party
for the weekend. It rained like you've never seen the
entire time. My brother in law and my dad and
my boyfriend at the time got in a brawl with
some locals after being my party.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Is it old Russell Crowe? That way? Was it with
Russell Crowe? No?

Speaker 14 (48:16):
Unfortunately not. We would have got some photos otherwise. Then
our flight home was canceled due to the rain. Our
train home was delayed, so we missed our connecting train
in Sydney and had to get a bus from Sydney
to Melbourne.

Speaker 7 (48:35):
My lord, God, it's all up.

Speaker 14 (48:37):
It took us about twenty four hours to get home
from No Europe.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
It was a real life planes, trains and automobiles, isn't it? Yes?

Speaker 14 (48:52):
It was.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
It was night marriage.

Speaker 14 (48:54):
I will never ever do it again ever, But my
boyfriend stayed. We've been together for thirteen years and married
for two.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Oh well, I'll tell you what. That was the ultimate
test there isn't it. If you can go through that,
then marriage is easy.

Speaker 14 (49:07):
Absolutely nothing of our stories that way has ever just
the like that has, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
However, you ever been back to Costs Harbor since we.

Speaker 14 (49:17):
Have been back once, but we drawn we will.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Be Oh that just sounds dreadful, you know, he's just
tired and you get slightly delirious. I've had those where
everything's just working against you and in the end you
just have to surrender and you get slightly giddy. Don't
you go a bit like cabin crazy Cavin Fever. Jess,

as well. But you just won five hundred dollars. It
