Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Radio TV?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
It is Wednesday, That is the news.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The radio cpliches.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's hump day. It's just Wednesday. It's another day. And
Trump wants to build a mega tower in Australia.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The surface paradox one.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, Hello up, Yesterday? This week is every day is
reactive online, isn't it? If you go online now, it's
just basically people shouting at each other about whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You say. You like a movie, someone starts shouting at
you about that. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's like grown nuts behaving as children when you go
on social media anyway. Just watching the reaction to Eric
Eric Eric Trump, I didn't know there was an Eric
by the.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Way, Yeah he's the lesson known. Yeah, like what's the
other Baldwin brother that no one knows? Hensworth?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, Eric Trump obviously got a new project for twenty
six and they've sat him down, going, daddy, daddy, daddy,
can I, you know, do something in America? Please, daddy, daddy,
Let me do something American and go son? Do you
know where Australia has got no no idea, no dad,
please not Australia. Australia need a golden Trump tell the
(01:59):
perfect spot.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
To be honest, that's the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So what kind of people would really want to look
up at a golden thing like that phallic status symbol?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Australian Son.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Australian Son stories. Yes, it's going to be the tallest
building in Australia.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
It's going to be the tallest building. Different.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But here's what you gonna remember. Trump says many things.
Not all the world a true or b happen. I'm
guessing he's still getting quotes for that wall he was
going to build.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Oh, yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So is this tower going to I don't know, but
it's just come out of nowhere.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I wouldn't mind the giant wall around the Gold Coast.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I think we would all appreciate that we don't need
more division with the bright side of the dial.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So is he going to be using American trade's you
know not the movie arm again and now they bring
in their own American American or is he? Is he
going to be using Australian tradees? I wonder who's and
how were the Australian trade trade unions deal with Trump's
where of negotiating and working? Yes, he already patsy, I
(03:09):
see trouble ahead here. They still don't have council approval either,
so that it's again, I don't think he worries a
lot about permon.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Just start building.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's not missed a bureaucracy. Just build it to ninety
one towers. Here's the other thing, So what is the
tallest building in Australia at the moment?
Speaker 7 (03:28):
I thought of some other giant skyscraper in the Gold.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And that's a great answer. Let's not have anyone try
and research the truth. Let's say some other tool building
will be the current title holder of Australia is tilling me.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
It's Q one, which is another huge building in the
Gold coast.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
How much bigger is it than that? Is it like
two centimeters?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't know, I know.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So the truckle one is going to be three hundred
and forty meters, so how tall is that other one?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
The Q one three hundred and twenty, So it's twenty
meters high, which is still pretty significant.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Twenty is a lot. Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
But surely if they're going to build something giant because
Australia loves giant things, does it need so? Is it
going to be a Trump tower?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:09):
With the Trump emblazoned.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Yeah, and five million dollars ege apartment apparently.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Apartment?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Has he seen the interest rates here? You know Australians.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Welcome to the Christian o'connells Show. All right, let's find
out about your three word weeks so far in the
middle of the week. How's your week going so far?
Tell us about it in three words? Text me your
three word weeks so far too? Four seven, five, three
one oh four three. Patsy, how's your week? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Pretty good? Actually? You know why because I fixed the
washer myself yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Did you call anyone out?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Didn't have to. I actually canceled the call to the
company because I fixed it all by myself.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Don't it feel great when you fix something yourself these days,
because trying to work out the back end of something
feels overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I know, And I thought, oh, I have a guy.
So my washer was showing up Era seven. Basically the
drum wasn't draining, and I figured it was probably the filter,
and I thought, you know what, I'll just have a look.
So when I got home yesterday, I pulled it off again,
and sure enough, because I'd put a big thick bath
mat in there, there was like a fur ball of
(05:28):
bath matter.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh no, not dumb skin skin, not this time one
of those bugs. Not only that it was down the
titanicusy ghost, it was also.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Matter that phrase, it's going to stay in there for
a long time. What's a visually worm?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Just an image cleanser, No wonder.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It couldn't drain, and it had a safety pin in
there and a toothpick.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
What are you doing in the shower.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I don't know what was in the pockets anyway, So.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
I fixed it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
My life is good because my washing machine's working again.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is good?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, I just thought wow, and I couldn't wait to
tell the love God when he got home. I don't
think I didn't run it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, i'd be Is that the same if you have
a small win, not that it's a huge win, that's
like one of the biggest doubles of the year.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Oh, he'll be hearing about it all week, yep. And
he said, how is your day? And I said, well,
I just saved the world because I just fixed the
washer myself.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And did you tune away where you're lording it over
him like it's something that he should have done and
didn't do, because that's how it would be between my
wife and is Sarah's more like you should Why didn't
you do this?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Its never being having the chance?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That's right now.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I fixed it myself. Very proud of myself today.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
And Riya, what's your three word? Weeks so far?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
I am obsessed with Survivor.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
There are two types of people in this world, as
we like to say on this show. At the moment,
you're either watching Maths or you're watching Survivor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Now, I've never seen Survivor.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Sell it to me, Oh, Survivor. He's the ultimate game, Christian.
It's the greatest game on Earth. They say, do you
know how it works?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, we have never seen it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You've got two.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Tribes, and within the tribes they have challenges and the
losing tribe has to vote a member of their team off.
Then halfway through they merge and you're voting people off
the entire time, voting fellow players off, until there's just
one survivor left and you're on an island.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So it's a game of strategy. And then because because
all overseas like clips of it. You know, now all
you o us is a clip of a show. Yes,
so I'm all I've ever seen. Survivor is people being
double crossed.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yes, it is a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's on a beach in the evening and there's things
being put in something names. Yes, you put you you
torches in a circle.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Yes, everyone has a torch that symbolizes life on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
When it looks very tribal and ancient, primal looks great.
The guy that used to it got he also got
double gross.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Survivor Jonathan Lapalio has been replaced by David, who's tried
to so Jonathan famous for his he was jacked, Yes,
I'm huge muscles, and the new host has clearly try
to step in his slot steps and he's double in size.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is like Trump Tower.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
He's tried to get as big as Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So do you think get into They said, hey, listen,
you're gonna you've got a at least thirty k's of
muscle if you want this job.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
I reckon a lot of viewers are watching just for
Jonathan's arms, so they would.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Have had to replace those viewers.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Make sure.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, no, it was pretty big. Do you need to
be for that job?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I know, not big enough. I guess you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A war council there. You're not actually a warlord on
that island. And where is it filmed?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
It's filmed in Fiji and Samoa.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Why is there I guess because it's an island and
it's sort of island themed.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
When we were going on holiday last year to some
island off Fiji, we went past the island. Oh really,
and the guy was going, that's where they filmed. They
feel the American one there as well.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yes, they film well, they're all there's six different countries
that do.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It, and they all do it in the said, but
there are places off Australia where they could film it.
I mean I don't know what would quite like a
rottenst There are many irolands because he said it was
that the Fijians are a little bit more relaxed with
the old LHS. Yes, and that's why you get a
litigious country like America and a lot of bureaucracy here
(09:23):
who go there.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
To do it?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
It's like going out into international waters.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Let Us Know How You're Weak is going so far
in three words, Alex, what's it?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Few mo You're talking about.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
Survivor before and I am in Survivor the show right now.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
With my three children.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
There's no winner.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
There's no winner, there's no prize. Fires been snuffed out
all over the shop. We're trying to do anyway. But
my youngest Max, he's four years old. I've got two
twin doors there seven Max is four. What's a sweet
lovely child? But now we're calling him Max the menace.
He's chasing people with knives, he's.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Calling other parents big losers.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Well, in his.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Defense, we actually like a TV show who is Australia's
Biggest Loser?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Vote?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now that's designed just a boy king. You don't feel history.
There been many like boy kings around the world's not
so what's the power balance? So obviously he's the youngest.
Often the youngest is the most.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Loudest energy, such massive energy, and like he's also to
make things worse is refusing to shower.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So you like running a prison being a parent, where
you get they're lifers. They are lifers, and some of
them just you got because sometimes you've got to go
in their room and toss and mattress to see there's
any contraband in there. And sometimes they just refuse.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
They're going on hunger strike.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Or they just refuse to shower, or this art smearing
pool on the walls, and that's just teenagers. But like,
and you've got to use bribes. There's bribes in jails,
just like they're our small children. And I've taken his
mood ring. So I'm like, you have a shower while
you're getting his mood ring. He is the mood's the mood.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I'll give you your mood ring bag if you get
in the shower and know what you get is.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That that sort of a really annoying, patronizing parental advice
was like reward the behavior you want and ignore the
behavior you hear these sappy pairents sometimes going Tristan, Tristan.
Mummy doesn't like it when you scream and shout the
mist shut the kid up.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I know we're at We would.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Have been allowed in a cafe, would have been giving
like ten bucks to go to a milk bar or
something like that, you know.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Or in my in my day, they would have had
a smack. It's like, well, we're not getting the stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
My mum's counters was anymore that you a clip around
the ear, and I never thought that was odd.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I just thought, probably deserve a clip around the ear.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He just used to do that as well. The amount
of time you'd just be doing something and you just
get whacked. What was that for? Remember wants to teaching missus?
Molson just whacked me from behind and I went, what
was that for? Wasn't he was the red time one?
Wasn't being irritating? And he went, just in case, just
in case, bang that one. I've got watched so hard
(12:20):
my head bounced off the disk. Fuck a double bounces
or wrestling Cete the phone in.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Back at eight this morning, What are the odds actually?
Someone listened to a podcast, said yesterday's show, and they said,
what are the odds that the microphone? You remember the the
microphone was broken yesterday. The red light that shows that
a microphone is live was on permanently for three hours
and so they just put duct tape around it rather
than fix it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
They just taped over, but they were still a bit
peaking at the top.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It reminds me, you know, when you go to a
hotel room, there's always like a smoke alarm or a
light on the TV, and you try and cover it up,
but it's never one hundred percent and it bugs you
all night.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That was the show yesterday. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He flipped back to a show in twenty twenty two
when the same microphone broke in the middle of the
show and then they had to hold it together with
elastic bags. It was that, how is this show even
going to all of Australia?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I'm not even sure it is one of the odds.
I know we're getting me recalling from different cities, but
they could be the bots.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Sue putting on a variety of prank called accents.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
She does do a great accent and she's.

buys them from the pharmacy.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Oh my mom does that. She's is terrifying over that
little bit of puffy air.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
I'd just love for her to get tested properly and
know exactly what she needs as well.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
She says she's never had an eye test.
Speaker 12 (16:23):
Not a proper one, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
From while my mum actually would just use a magnifying.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
Glass to reach, she hasn't resorted to that.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
We'd be out like at a pub and the magnifying
glass had come out right and start.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Reading the menu, and people would judge me like.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The sun magnified start shut up homes there at the bar,

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
If you're tuned in, you have missed amazing scenes in
the last sixty minutes of Australian radio. Paying your bills,
giving your glasses till the next hour. We've got shoes,
her feet, jocks. We're like a Swiss army Knight of
radio looking after our listeners and basically every morning tickling
them for three hours. All right, that's a little bit creepy.
(17:25):
Read the room right now. What's going on the world
and the files? Okay, what have you still got? Moving on?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Moving on?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
What have you still got on VHS cassettes? Little cricket
nerdy Redo, what's he got some of his favorite matches?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Danny?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Can we sit down and watch it?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Wanting days and days of test matches from nineteen ninety
nine Australia.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You need to get to sleep, crank that old v.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Hut just because you don't have any VHSS of England winning.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Well, we do have to go back to pre VHS
T twenty workout for you guys, bodyline series films, sorts
from parts.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Wow, I don't mind a test match, thank you?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah yeah. Name a couple of classics over the years.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Oh, I don't know. The eighties were pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh well, okay, there's ten years to big from all right, uh,
Tanya Kristian, I've got the final race of the nineteen
eighty three America's Cup race on VHS. Classic core memory
being woken up in the middle of night by my
dad cheering as we got ahead on the final turn,
started making that final tacking race to now Christian we
still have on VHS where my husband appeared on the
(18:38):
Early Bird Show in the mid eighties. On VHS he
was convinting in the remote control car competition. This is
how TV used to be before Ferrels on mass a
remote control car competition.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He came second. He cracked it on national TV.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
He thought he won.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
On our second day, he sat me down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We had to watch the footage again, counting the lapse
he made with this remote control car.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's not there's that proud of footage.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Back into the left, back into the left, trying to
prove to me, he was the rightful winner the footage.
Every now and then still he sits there shaking his head,
still very upset of the injustice. Ozart, like many of us,
has got Charlie and Scott's wedding from Neighbors still on VHS. Christian,
I've got four six seasons of The Nanny Go Around
(19:27):
this week, have a slumber body, just record off the
TV each week were also accidentally or assigned on for
what did you accidentally record over today? Do you remember
the dread who has done that? Used to rip that
tab off? Do not record over? We accidently retake to
over a cousin's wedding with Don't Tell Mum the Babysitters Dead?
(19:52):
Do you remember that when you got the TV listings
out and you record movies and label them and have
them up they like have your own home Blockbuster? Forgot
about those days, Christian, I've only just passed it with
five videos tapes of old play School episodes, Sesame Street
and other ABC shows. Rachel Christian, I've been an artistic
roller skates and.

actually have one pride of VHS, which is a format
called u Matic, which I've obviously got enoughing to play
it on. But yeah, when they started using an arthroscope,
instead of cutting your leg open, they attached that to
a video screen. Obviously, if you can touch it to
(23:36):
a video screen, you can put a video recorder on it.
So I wake up and they give me a video
cassette to take home with you.
Speaker 7 (23:45):

years ago.

They didn't take that one.
Speaker 13 (24:21):
Well it takes like mine took three and a half hours.
There only supposed to take two hours, but mine took
three and a half. But no, that's that's they do
open your leg up for that, like proper surgery.
Speaker 1 (24:33):

Speaker 6 (27:45):
What's that one you have in UK Naked Attraction?

Yes?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
This was actually a way worse than Mass so it
was so bad a showy based on looks. Men would
be in Bungie smokers lined up by a swimming pool
until you got my attention. Fifteen before Heated Royals, there
was man O Man. There'd be like fifteen men in
their Bundy smokers lined up by a swimming pool.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
A woman would just.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Walk up and down and the fugly she's just throwing
the pool wash. A crowd of brain spectators laughed at them.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
That's amazing, is it?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I think that's where the Rot's set in. Really in
the nineties with man O Man four in social media.
Yeah yeah, Christian.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
We used to have our wedding video from nineteen ninety
two phs. My husband taped Rambo.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Seriously, the replacement show is funny like Blinky Beer earlier
Mom and Dad's wedding video. It's the fact that so
a wedding video which is so cherished, and I'm guessing
for the ones we're talking about here, they hadn't. They
didn't realize that VHS was not going to be around forever,
so they didn't transfer it to DVD and now you
know online. So the big news has broken this week
(29:23):
is announced by Eric Trump. We're not making this up.
It's not fat news. They're building a ninety one story,
three hundred and forty meter golden tower.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You already know where it is, Surfers Paradise. Because this
is exactly what.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Australia needs, is another random megastructure at the side of
a road. Because why I've hearn from living in Australias,
you love random, I mean really really random things at
the side of a freeway or road. So actually I
get where Eric Trump's obviously just been studying the history
(30:00):
of Australia. So yesterday I started to have a look,
what is it about? Where does this go back to
this love of random, big things in Australia? Do you
know where it begins? Nineteen sixty three? Have you ever
heard of the Big Scotsman?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:18):

Speaker 15 (39:30):
Everything.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's amazing, Thank you much. When I was reading up
on all this yesterday, the the the giant potato that
is this right? That Sady was also sadly overwhelmingly voted
a lot of people voted for the sorry anyone's reading
(39:51):
up on it. They applied for planning permission, but the
council turned it down to a visitor center in the
middle of the potato.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
Hey, that is a great idea, a visitor center in
the middle of a fiberglass potato.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Do you know what I'm going to consider this our
first year of this national show, the first seven national
breath Shops twenty a failure. If on the last show
that you're in December, we're not unveiling a random, massive
fiberglass sculpture.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Now, for this to truly be effective, it must be random.
If that, I'm going to call this project project confusion.
I want people we don't listen to the show going
what is that a bear? Roller skating? Smoking a pipe? What?
And it must be random? So just texting random words
(40:46):
right now?
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Of things?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I think we need to set us as a target
team and build a giant sculpture by the end of
this year.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Okay, and of.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Course it has to be by the side of a
road and maybe have a visitor center in the middle
of it.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I'm just looking at my inbox wondering why there's random
words coming from and I remember yet, fifteen minutes ago
we asked you to text in just random words that
become a giant sculpture that were found at the end
of this year for what I'm calling projects confusion. A
remote control is great, a massive remote control, like it's
(41:26):
a really good one. Christian, what about the giant Cabaner
oh now Man and the show like you started it?
A giant Cabanner show? Only Christian O'Connell's show listeners will
understand it. It's a secret message between us all, Jodi Roberts.
That is actually a great idea, Christian, that Koala is
more cinius than you think.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
At night it's I light up.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I'm sorry I couldn't. I couldn't sleep in Dad's well.

with glowing stranger things?
Speaker 4 (41:59):
All right?

stories of coincidence and chance. Previously on What Are the Odds?
Speaker 14 (42:28):
I was looking at lovely flowers and I thought of
my girlfriend and I picked up a white orchard to
buy for her. Something changed my mind, and I then
stopped it for a purple one. I got to her

Speaker 17 (42:45):
To work with a woman who told us how she
met her husband. She'd been on a backpacking tour around Europe.

chatting to this guy and they had an exchanged detail.
When she got back home, she found out that the
house next to her had been sold, and it had
been sold to him.

Heid's a chemist Warehouse and save more money every year

Chemist Warehouse. Good morning, Patsy, Hello everyone, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Alex, good morning, and good morning Rio. Good morning. Oh boy,
did she just save this Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Radio TV?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
It is Wednesday, That is the news.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The radio cpliches.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's hump day. It's just Wednesday. It's another day. And
Trump wants to build a mega tower in Australia.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The surface paradox one.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, Hello up, Yesterday? This week is every day is
reactive online, isn't it? If you go online now, it's
just basically people shouting at each other about whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You say. You like a movie, someone starts shouting at
you about that. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's like grown nuts behaving as children when you go
on social media anyway. Just watching the reaction to Eric
Eric Eric Trump, I didn't know there was an Eric
by the.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Way, Yeah he's the lesson known. Yeah, like what's the
other Baldwin brother that no one knows? Hensworth?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, Eric Trump obviously got a new project for twenty
six and they've sat him down, going, daddy, daddy, daddy,
can I, you know, do something in America? Please, daddy, daddy,
Let me do something American and go son? Do you
know where Australia has got no no idea, no dad,
please not Australia. Australia need a golden Trump tell the
(01:59):
perfect spot.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
To be honest, that's the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So what kind of people would really want to look
up at a golden thing like that phallic status symbol?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Australian Son.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Australian Son stories. Yes, it's going to be the tallest
building in Australia.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
It's going to be the tallest building. Different.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But here's what you gonna remember. Trump says many things.
Not all the world a true or b happen. I'm
guessing he's still getting quotes for that wall he was
going to build.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Oh, yes, that's true.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So is this tower going to I don't know, but
it's just come out of nowhere.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I wouldn't mind the giant wall around the Gold Coast.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I think we would all appreciate that we don't need
more division with the bright side of the dial.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So is he going to be using American trade's you
know not the movie arm again and now they bring
in their own American American or is he? Is he
going to be using Australian tradees? I wonder who's and
how were the Australian trade trade unions deal with Trump's
where of negotiating and working? Yes, he already patsy, I
(03:09):
see trouble ahead here. They still don't have council approval either,
so that it's again, I don't think he worries a
lot about permon.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Just start building.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's not missed a bureaucracy. Just build it to ninety
one towers. Here's the other thing, So what is the
tallest building in Australia at the moment?
Speaker 7 (03:28):
I thought of some other giant skyscraper in the Gold.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And that's a great answer. Let's not have anyone try
and research the truth. Let's say some other tool building
will be the current title holder of Australia is tilling me.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
It's Q one, which is another huge building in the
Gold coast.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
How much bigger is it than that? Is it like
two centimeters?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't know, I know.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So the truckle one is going to be three hundred
and forty meters, so how tall is that other one?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
The Q one three hundred and twenty, So it's twenty
meters high, which is still pretty significant.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Twenty is a lot. Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
But surely if they're going to build something giant because
Australia loves giant things, does it need so? Is it
going to be a Trump tower?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:09):
With the Trump emblazoned.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Yeah, and five million dollars ege apartment apparently.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
Apartment?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Has he seen the interest rates here? You know Australians.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Welcome to the Christian o'connells Show. All right, let's find
out about your three word weeks so far in the
middle of the week. How's your week going so far?
Tell us about it in three words? Text me your
three word weeks so far too? Four seven, five, three
one oh four three. Patsy, how's your week? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Pretty good? Actually? You know why because I fixed the
washer myself yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Did you call anyone out?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Didn't have to. I actually canceled the call to the
company because I fixed it all by myself.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Don't it feel great when you fix something yourself these days,
because trying to work out the back end of something
feels overwhelming.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
I know, And I thought, oh, I have a guy.
So my washer was showing up Era seven. Basically the
drum wasn't draining, and I figured it was probably the filter,
and I thought, you know what, I'll just have a look.
So when I got home yesterday, I pulled it off again,
and sure enough, because I'd put a big thick bath
mat in there, there was like a fur ball of
(05:28):
bath matter.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh no, not dumb skin skin, not this time one
of those bugs. Not only that it was down the
titanicusy ghost, it was also.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Matter that phrase, it's going to stay in there for
a long time. What's a visually worm?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Just an image cleanser, No wonder.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It couldn't drain, and it had a safety pin in
there and a toothpick.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
What are you doing in the shower.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I don't know what was in the pockets anyway, So.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
I fixed it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
My life is good because my washing machine's working again.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is good?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, I just thought wow, and I couldn't wait to
tell the love God when he got home. I don't
think I didn't run it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, i'd be Is that the same if you have
a small win, not that it's a huge win, that's
like one of the biggest doubles of the year.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Oh, he'll be hearing about it all week, yep. And
he said, how is your day? And I said, well,
I just saved the world because I just fixed the
washer myself.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And did you tune away where you're lording it over
him like it's something that he should have done and
didn't do, because that's how it would be between my
wife and is Sarah's more like you should Why didn't
you do this?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Its never being having the chance?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That's right now.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I fixed it myself. Very proud of myself today.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
And Riya, what's your three word? Weeks so far?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
I am obsessed with Survivor.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
There are two types of people in this world, as
we like to say on this show. At the moment,
you're either watching Maths or you're watching Survivor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Now, I've never seen Survivor.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Sell it to me, Oh, Survivor. He's the ultimate game, Christian.
It's the greatest game on Earth. They say, do you
know how it works?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No, we have never seen it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
You've got two.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Tribes, and within the tribes they have challenges and the
losing tribe has to vote a member of their team off.
Then halfway through they merge and you're voting people off
the entire time, voting fellow players off, until there's just
one survivor left and you're on an island.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So it's a game of strategy. And then because because
all overseas like clips of it. You know, now all
you o us is a clip of a show. Yes,
so I'm all I've ever seen. Survivor is people being
double crossed.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yes, it is a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's on a beach in the evening and there's things
being put in something names. Yes, you put you you
torches in a circle.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Yes, everyone has a torch that symbolizes life on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
When it looks very tribal and ancient, primal looks great.
The guy that used to it got he also got
double gross.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Survivor Jonathan Lapalio has been replaced by David, who's tried
to so Jonathan famous for his he was jacked, Yes,
I'm huge muscles, and the new host has clearly try
to step in his slot steps and he's double in size.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This is like Trump Tower.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
He's tried to get as big as Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So do you think get into They said, hey, listen,
you're gonna you've got a at least thirty k's of
muscle if you want this job.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
I reckon a lot of viewers are watching just for
Jonathan's arms, so they would.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Have had to replace those viewers.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Make sure.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, no, it was pretty big. Do you need to
be for that job?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I know, not big enough. I guess you're not.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A war council there. You're not actually a warlord on
that island. And where is it filmed?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
It's filmed in Fiji and Samoa.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Why is there I guess because it's an island and
it's sort of island themed.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
When we were going on holiday last year to some
island off Fiji, we went past the island. Oh really,
and the guy was going, that's where they filmed. They
feel the American one there as well.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Yes, they film well, they're all there's six different countries
that do.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It, and they all do it in the said, but
there are places off Australia where they could film it.
I mean I don't know what would quite like a
rottenst There are many irolands because he said it was
that the Fijians are a little bit more relaxed with
the old LHS. Yes, and that's why you get a
litigious country like America and a lot of bureaucracy here
(09:23):
who go there.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
To do it?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
It's like going out into international waters.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Let Us Know How You're Weak is going so far
in three words, Alex, what's it?

Survivor before and I am in Survivor the show right now.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
With my three children.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
There's no winner.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
There's no winner, there's no prize. Fires been snuffed out
all over the shop. We're trying to do anyway. But
my youngest Max, he's four years old. I've got two
twin doors there seven Max is four. What's a sweet
lovely child? But now we're calling him Max the menace.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
Calling other parents big losers.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Well, in his.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Defense, we actually like a TV show who is Australia's
Biggest Loser?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Vote?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Now that's designed just a boy king. You don't feel history.
There been many like boy kings around the world's not
so what's the power balance? So obviously he's the youngest.
Often the youngest is the most.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Loudest energy, such massive energy, and like he's also to
make things worse is refusing to shower.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So you like running a prison being a parent, where
you get they're lifers. They are lifers, and some of
them just you got because sometimes you've got to go
in their room and toss and mattress to see there's
any contraband in there. And sometimes they just refuse.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
They're going on hunger strike.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Or they just refuse to shower, or this art smearing
pool on the walls, and that's just teenagers. But like,
and you've got to use bribes. There's bribes in jails,
just like they're our small children. And I've taken his
mood ring. So I'm like, you have a shower while
you're getting his mood ring. He is the mood's the mood.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I'll give you your mood ring bag if you get
in the shower and know what you get is.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That that sort of a really annoying, patronizing parental advice
was like reward the behavior you want and ignore the
behavior you hear these sappy pairents sometimes going Tristan, Tristan.
Mummy doesn't like it when you scream and shout the
mist shut the kid up.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I know we're at We would.

Have been allowed in a cafe, would have been giving
like ten bucks to go to a milk bar or
something like that, you know.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Or in my in my day, they would have had
a smack. It's like, well, we're not getting the stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
My mum's counters was anymore that you a clip around
the ear, and I never thought that was odd.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I just thought, probably deserve a clip around the ear.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He just used to do that as well. The amount
of time you'd just be doing something and you just
get whacked. What was that for? Remember wants to teaching missus?
Molson just whacked me from behind and I went, what
was that for? Wasn't he was the red time one?
Wasn't being irritating? And he went, just in case, just

The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Back at eight this morning, What are the odds actually?
Someone listened to a podcast, said yesterday's show, and they said,
what are the odds that the microphone? You remember the the
microphone was broken yesterday. The red light that shows that
a microphone is live was on permanently for three hours
and so they just put duct tape around it rather
than fix it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
They just taped over, but they were still a bit
peaking at the top.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It reminds me, you know, when you go to a
hotel room, there's always like a smoke alarm or a
light on the TV, and you try and cover it up,
but it's never one hundred percent and it bugs you
all night.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That was the show yesterday. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He flipped back to a show in twenty twenty two
when the same microphone broke in the middle of the
show and then they had to hold it together with
elastic bags. It was that, how is this show even
going to all of Australia?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I'm not even sure it is one of the odds.
I know we're getting me recalling from different cities, but
they could be the bots.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Sue putting on a variety of prank called accents.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
She does do a great accent and she's.

rubbers are tewed off and they're all mangled, and it's
just like, oh my god. Yeah, I really couldn't make
this up.
Speaker 1 (15:16):

buys them from the pharmacy.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Oh my mom does that. She's is terrifying over that
little bit of puffy air.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
I'd just love for her to get tested properly and
know exactly what she needs as well.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
She says she's never had an eye test.
Speaker 12 (16:23):
Not a proper one, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
From while my mum actually would just use a magnifying.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
Glass to reach, she hasn't resorted to that.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
We'd be out like at a pub and the magnifying
glass had come out right and start.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Reading the menu, and people would judge me like.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The sun magnified start shut up homes there at the bar,

Read the room right now. What's going on the world
and the files? Okay, what have you still got? Moving on?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Moving on?
Speaker 1 (17:37):

Speaker 7 (17:48):
Wanting days and days of test matches from nineteen ninety
nine Australia.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You need to get to sleep, crank that old v.
Speaker 7 (17:56):

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Oh, I don't know. The eighties were pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh well, okay, there's ten years to big from all right, uh,
Tanya Kristian, I've got the final race of the nineteen
eighty three America's Cup race on VHS. Classic core memory
being woken up in the middle of night by my
dad cheering as we got ahead on the final turn,
started making that final tacking race to now Christian we
still have on VHS where my husband appeared on the
(18:38):
Early Bird Show in the mid eighties. On VHS he
was convinting in the remote control car competition. This is
how TV used to be before Ferrels on mass a
remote control car competition.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He came second. He cracked it on national TV.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
He thought he won.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
On our second day, he sat me down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We had to watch the footage again, counting the lapse
he made with this remote control car.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's not there's that proud of footage.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Back into the left, back into the left, trying to
prove to me, he was the rightful winner the footage.
Every now and then still he sits there shaking his head,
still very upset of the injustice. Ozart, like many of us,
has got Charlie and Scott's wedding from Neighbors still on VHS. Christian,
I've got four six seasons of The Nanny Go Around
(19:27):
this week, have a slumber body, just record off the
TV each week were also accidentally or assigned on for
what did you accidentally record over today? Do you remember
the dread who has done that? Used to rip that
tab off? Do not record over? We accidently retake to
over a cousin's wedding with Don't Tell Mum the Babysitters Dead?
(19:52):
Do you remember that when you got the TV listings
out and you record movies and label them and have
them up they like have your own home Blockbuster? Forgot
about those days, Christian, I've only just passed it with
five videos tapes of old play School episodes, Sesame Street
and other ABC shows. Rachel Christian, I've been an artistic
roller skates and.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Since I was quite young.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
My mother has multiple cassettes of my skating competitions on
those seats. My favorite moments are the things that my
coach would yell off the rink whilst I was competing. Yeah,
I'm sure very different to what the coach is. Young Now, Alex,
what have you still got on VHS.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
I'm pretty embarrassed about this and I haven't talked about
it for a long time, but I'm going.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
To do it now.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Many years ago, it's on a cam court a cassette

Apparently I still copstick for it. I remember those there
were the smaller littlenes, little ones.
Speaker 3 (20:42):

Speaker 8 (20:42):
Yeah, and apparently I sang leaving on a jet plane
to my girlfriend at the time because I was going
overseas at my eighteenth birthday party.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Oh wow, and it's it's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
This isn't young alets obviously.
Speaker 3 (20:59):

whether it's not good for you, but it must be
(22:25):
nice to win things. Christian. I still have my husband's
twenty first birthday on VHS. The kicker is someone we
think his youngest sister's taped over half of it with
a big brother of viction. Fair enough, fair enough, Christina,
Christian my brother recorded Blinky Bill over our parents' wedding video.
Oh my god, Christian, and I still have my recording

Oh? Well, sorry, but mine's a bit more grooso. I've
got a bunch of knee surgeries on VHS and I
actually have one pride of VHS, which is a format
called u Matic, which I've obviously got enoughing to play
it on. But yeah, when they started using an arthroscope,
instead of cutting your leg open, they attached that to
a video screen. Obviously, if you can touch it to
(23:36):
a video screen, you can put a video recorder on it.
So I wake up and they give me a video
cassette to take home with you.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
No, did you have to pay extra like you do
a water slide as well?
Speaker 13 (23:53):
I don't know. It wasn't on the bill, So.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Tell me this then. Have you ever watched it back?
Speaker 1 (23:58):

Yeah, plenty?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Once is a lot so that's keyhole surgery obviously, And
so how many operations have you had on your knee?
Speaker 13 (24:07):
Unfortunately? Sixteen?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
No, no way, astraighting is worse knee wow?
Speaker 13 (24:14):
Yeah, that the last one I had. They didn't video,
but it was my knee replacement six and a half
years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
They didn't take that one.
Speaker 13 (24:21):
Well it takes like mine took three and a half hours.
There only supposed to take two hours, but mine took
three and a half. But no, that's that's they do
open your leg up for that, like proper surgery.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So he doesn't want to watch this. It's a gift
many to his friends. Otherwise you come around with a
few beers and oh my god, the video cats come out,
you know, because school was still weed out.
Speaker 7 (24:44):

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show. It's about the things
you still got on VHS cassette. Christ and I had
the nineteen eighty Moscow Olympics on VHS to each and

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah with Greg Evans.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah yeah, another old classic Gray reg Grundy Corporation.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I think it was mid eighties, big nineties.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Those dating shows were like the number one rating show.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Right, yes, all these what was the word there?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You see US compatibility challenges and stuff that from single
to soulmates.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
What's that one you have in UK Naked Attraction?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Naked Attraction only went for one season, very obvious reasons. Now,
the worst one, which got canceled midway through was man
O Man, right, Man, did you get that?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
This was actually a way worse than Mass so it
was so bad a showy based on looks. Men would
be in Bungie smokers lined up by a swimming pool
until you got my attention. Fifteen before Heated Royals, there
was man O Man. There'd be like fifteen men in
their Bundy smokers lined up by a swimming pool.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
A woman would just.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Walk up and down and the fugly she's just throwing
the pool wash. A crowd of brain spectators laughed at them.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
That's amazing, is it?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I think that's where the Rot's set in. Really in
the nineties with man O Man four in social media.
Yeah yeah, Christian.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
We used to have our wedding video from nineteen ninety
two phs. My husband taped Rambo.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Seriously, the replacement show is funny like Blinky Beer earlier
Mom and Dad's wedding video. It's the fact that so
a wedding video which is so cherished, and I'm guessing
for the ones we're talking about here, they hadn't. They
didn't realize that VHS was not going to be around forever,
so they didn't transfer it to DVD and now you
know online. So the big news has broken this week
(29:23):
is announced by Eric Trump. We're not making this up.
It's not fat news. They're building a ninety one story,
three hundred and forty meter golden tower.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You already know where it is, Surfers Paradise. Because this
is exactly what.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Australia needs, is another random megastructure at the side of
a road. Because why I've hearn from living in Australias,
you love random, I mean really really random things at
the side of a freeway or road. So actually I
get where Eric Trump's obviously just been studying the history
(30:00):
of Australia. So yesterday I started to have a look,
what is it about? Where does this go back to
this love of random, big things in Australia? Do you
know where it begins? Nineteen sixty three? Have you ever
heard of the Big Scotsman?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
It all starts with the Big Scotsman in Adelaide and Adelaide.
A bloke named Paul Kelly, not the singer, built a
giant Scotsman outside a motel, classy as you do. Nobody
asks why, because you know why. Australia nineteen sixty four
The Big Banana year later Coffs Harbor because the banana
farmer wanted.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
People to stop at his roadside.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Stare, and so he thought, you know what, Australians are
starting to love. He's seen the big Scotsman.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
We're very simple creatures, aren't we just make a big thing?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Nineteen seventy one The Big Pineapple goes up on the
Sunshine Coast. Did we know Princess Diana visited it eighty
three at the height of its at the height of
its powers, one million tourists a year. It's amazing bigger.
That's bigger than your pera house, a million visitors. Yet
(31:07):
the height of his powers, princess sixteen meter pineapple.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
What amazing cultural artifacts does this country have?
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Bigger than the oprow sin is pulling power Peak Australia.
What about the Big Potato in nineteen seventy seven? Have
you never seen it? That ten meters lump it looks
like a poo more than a potato. Nineteen seventy one.
Lowry the Lobster seventeen meters tall, four tons. Legend has
(31:37):
it the original stories that the plans were drawn in feet.
The designer misunderstood it and thought they meant meters. Did
you say seventy or seventeen seventeen? Have you seen it?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's absurdly form. This is peak as.
Speaker 12 (31:54):
History.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I'm sorry Trump family, but you were There was already
an abundance of giant things here. Nineteen eighty five. The
Big Marino.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
Oh a school excursion, maybe a five hour bus trip
out of Gold.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Big Marino fifteen meters high, ninety seven tons.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
And they're hanging appendy.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Giant random sheep. Yeah, be proud of Wool, Be proud
of Wool. I say Australia the big prawn, and but
gets neglected. It fell apart. Then it got rescued and
refurbished by Bunnix. Oh God, the most Australian phrase ever.
It now sits proudly in the Bunnings car park. The
prawn lives at Bunnix. This country is a living poem
(32:34):
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
There are now apparently over.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
One thousand and seventy five big things across Australia. Now
I guarantee, now that this show is live across all
five cities, there'd be people listened.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
To this going he's missed X, Y and Z. What
have we missed?
Speaker 1 (32:50):

Everything.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
It's amazing, Thank you much. When I was reading up
on all this yesterday, the the the giant potato that
is this right? That Sady was also sadly overwhelmingly voted
a lot of people voted for the sorry anyone's reading
(39:51):
up on it. They applied for planning permission, but the
council turned it down to a visitor center in the
middle of the potato.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
Hey, that is a great idea, a visitor center in
the middle of a fiberglass potato.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Do you know what I'm going to consider this our
first year of this national show, the first seven national
breath Shops twenty a failure. If on the last show
that you're in December, we're not unveiling a random, massive
fiberglass sculpture.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Now, for this to truly be effective, it must be random.
If that, I'm going to call this project project confusion.
I want people we don't listen to the show going
what is that a bear? Roller skating? Smoking a pipe? What?
And it must be random? So just texting random words
(40:46):
right now?
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Of things?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I think we need to set us as a target
team and build a giant sculpture by the end of
this year.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Okay, and of.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Course it has to be by the side of a
road and maybe have a visitor center in the middle
of it.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
I'm just looking at my inbox wondering why there's random
words coming from and I remember yet, fifteen minutes ago
we asked you to text in just random words that
become a giant sculpture that were found at the end
of this year for what I'm calling projects confusion. A
remote control is great, a massive remote control, like it's
(41:26):
a really good one. Christian, what about the giant Cabaner
oh now Man and the show like you started it?
A giant Cabanner show? Only Christian O'Connell's show listeners will
understand it. It's a secret message between us all, Jodi Roberts.
That is actually a great idea, Christian, that Koala is
more cinius than you think.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
At night it's I light up.

Speaker 17 (42:45):
To work with a woman who told us how she
met her husband. She'd been on a backpacking tour around Europe.
She was in a campground at Paris and she got

house next to her had been sold, and it had
been sold to him.

she said to you, I said, oh my god, I
don't believe it. My husband's birthdays the same year, same day,
same year. That's crazy.

Wow question to ask you?
Speaker 4 (43:59):
