A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Good morning, Patsy, morning everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Good morning Alex morning, and good morning Ria, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, we were at wedding of the century on Saturday night.
Our producer Caitlin got married to her girlfriend and it
was a celebration of unity, love and joy, an incredible
atmosphere in the evening. All that the Caitlin's speech was fantastic,
generally really moving, beautifully done. She held it together with
(02:09):
such poise and presents. She did a really really good job.
And Dad's speech made every every guy cry in the room.
I need to talk about the scene when we arrive though,
never been to a wedding reception where there's a Q.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The street for what me.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
And Patsy and my daughter Ruby and Chris, the love
God had all gone for drink around around the corner,
an amazing rooftop bar where we were the oldest people
there were the three grown ups by at least three decades.
People were doing a double take like they knockos.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Mission you're a gun, bust someone up.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
You're a giveaway when you say very noisy.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Too noisy.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And then I saw two idiots on the turntables. Guys,
is four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You will listen Fred again, You're not okay, just stick on,
so turn it, turn it down, Turn it down, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We go to the corner's cue at the wedding reception
because of what was waiting for you based on whether
or not you were making a substantial cash donation. If
you were making an envelope cash donation, you were allowed
a free drink. For those who just turned up. You
were not allowed a free welcome. Yeah, it was harsh.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
I only won, though, only one for the person who
actually so Chris put our envelope through and got a
lovely lemon cillo, and I thought, oh, okay, where's mine.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It's just just for one.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
You got to share that time.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now I just described the scene we've been talking about
the show particikat and made this giant oversized welcome board
that did actually look incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So I had the.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Table plan on Each table plan was named and themed.
One was after a dog. I was on the Carlton table.
There was no reference as to what was called the
Carlton table.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
There was there was no rum or reasontory.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
About about the about the names, but each one was
fraying and stuck onto the board. So presentation at Tamakia.
Then we come to the bottom left hand corner where
there was a cut out rectangle hole with velvet curtains
and a board.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Teenager like the Wizard of Oz the other.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Side of it on their phone, handing you a lemon
cello shot if you pass through an envelope stuff with cash.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
There was a slot for money, and then above it
was a curtain where one single lemon shell.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I've never seen anything at a wedding.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So I just presumed that the envelope guaranteed the bearers
of this gift two shots. So I hand my envelope
through and then one drink comes out, and so I
then speak into the hole and go, there's two of us.
Then the teenager breaks character.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Here's around the board going.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm told it's one per envelope. Sorry, Ruby, that drinks mine.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So no envelope, no drink, no tough. So it's strange
w to it all. But people look confused. How do
you get that drink? You gotta give them catch you.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
There were cigars as well, yes, cigar.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh right, very There was just a lot going on
when you got there. Yea.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
It was sort of muffiaso.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Yes, yeah, it was a lockoing on the whole time.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And then there was a surprise during the night on
the dance floor of the saxophone player.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
M Now this is this was interesting decision.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I thought it was to create a lot of buzz. Yeah, yes,
was he miming or was he playing live? Was it
quite sure? I wasn't sure.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
It's like he was supposed to have this big entrance
where it was like the dance floor started, bam, there's
a saxophone player.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
But he clearly hadn't been worded up when his entrance was.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's not a big anxious if you're coming out the
back kitchen.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
He just he was just standing there and the music
cut out and then instead of like.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
He just goes oh oh, I think I'm a big surprise.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
That awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And then what's that one song?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because I've seen this movie before, you know where they
have the saxophone guy? What's that song that it was
a hit in the last you know it's it came
out the last. I'm pretty sure it got played three times.
I heard it at least twice. I was like, Okay,
this is about ten minutes ago. He needs some new gear.
(06:39):
And then they had a bit of a little bit
of a Baker Street remix and I'm thinking more sax songs?
Is he going to get through?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Michael?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
He was inserting himself into as many songs as he
possibly can.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yes, hell with live saxophone.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:58):

Not angry emailing you and watch anymore your favorite TV
shows unless you update that credit card immediately right now,
this morning, there's one an alert on my phone.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
How to quickly deal with it with this is the
rest of my year now?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Amazing? They know as well when your card's going to expire.
You can try to reach out for like customer servers
or something. You won't hear from them, but they'll know
a month in advance or your card's about to expire.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Make sure you update your detail.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, Patsy, you are.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
By the way, the song we were trying to guess
from the last ten or fifteen years that has the
big saxophoney in.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This is it.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
It's a modern body songs this all the time. Loved it.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
This was huge, so many memories of this.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So Saturday night this got played at least three times
as though I was listening to Nova.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Cargo baron Sidney. Oh, it was like a lot, it was.
It came round a lot. Do you hear it once?
It's fun, you know the saxophone guy. Also, how tight
we is? Trousers those.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Hard hard not to had them junk in the trunk
to that.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
See that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm not a fan of heated rivals. Patsy, you are
Monday winner or loser.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Definitely a Monday winner.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yesterday I was out in the backyard and I heard
a sound that I have not heard for many a
moon in our coulder sack.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
It was mister Whippy.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'd be great if the team had loaded up now,
that would have been the smooth things to go. But
it's not ham But can you do an impression of
a patch.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Singing ding ding ding, which sounds a bit creepy when
I do it? Really, But what o'clock in the afternoon
And it was mister Whippy And I haven't had him
in the street for ages. And it doesn't matter how
old you are. When you hear that tune, you feel
like five again. It's like, oh my god, have we
got any change? Where's the cards? Let's get a nice cream?
(09:37):
So we went out the front and he was the
loveliest guy and really interesting.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We got talking to him and I.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Was working up. He's just working up now.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He's just bought this fan and he's about our ages
in his early fifties.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
We said, how did you get to be?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You know?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Have you done this for long? And he said, you know,
I used to be a spray painter for all these decades.
And he said, I was getting sick of it. I
wanted to change and I wanted to do something.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A great different. What a great pevat friend. That was
the world of lockdown.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
People were pivoting making sour dough bread and learning the ukuleley.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But what a great pivot.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Go from a spraying car and suddenly where do you
even find them to buy?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I know, so I don't know, but he's got this.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
It's an old Evan but he had it all spruced
up and he was just the loveliest person.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It was a immaculate don't oh, it was shiny.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You could see your face in the juco. Well, he
was a spray painter, remember, so he's probably done it up.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I remember, don't forget because call back to that.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
What do they do in winter?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Though?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I think it's a very seasonal business.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They chase the sun. So he'll drive that around Australia
chasing they do. You see a big exodus.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Of them all in a convoy down birds fail, they
go around the under Us.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Sudden are up in north you know in Broom.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Darwin Brett was saying that. He said, you know weekends
in Yeah, he said, yesterday.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I had a kid's party with fifty kids.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
And he said, and then I had a wedding last
night where you know, it's like a novelty thing they
go and do weddings, is it? Winters are a bit quiet,
but he said, someer's more than making up for it.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It must be green going at winter time. Surely dried
around because you hear this, you're stuck into its. You're
like you know that you've lit the fire. You don't
feel like a cone.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
I'm not going to say this guy at the Winter Olympics.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So did you get one patch?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Of course I did. Yeah, I got a chop top
with the flake in the top.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Old school. Yes, it's all the best, aren't they it.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I just loved his story. I thought it was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Here's the other thing I find fascinating as well.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
You.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't think you can just buy one and start
driving around any area you want. I think there's a
there are licenses and that we always well, suddenly someone's
been looking after those berbs for years. Suddenly old mate
is just have a power pivot starts rocking up.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Like, well, what you doing? Patchworks.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm pretty sure in Scotland there was a violent assault.
I think someone might have lost their life in a
fight between two ice cream guys over a rival patch
have a corner. Yeah, seriously, I'm pretty sure you have
to apply for a.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Life stary local council and stuff. You'd have to like
health and safety and.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Guys, just be honest.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
We're in Australia, the land of no worries, but plenty
of admin.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Forms and beauty. There be a permit, permit, permit.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Christian Color Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
One thing we do just need to address, you know,
I prefer we got out of the way in the
first out of the show before we get prime time.
Your husband Chris, and let's just say the cave door open.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I think there was a misinformation when he was ordering
beers on Saturday night, so he was double parking thinking
he would get.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm not talking about that double parking. Oh, I'm talking
about him. Let's just say leaving the car ports open flies.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Oh, he's so embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It was least half an hour him several songs.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Sorry he should because I thought it was funny.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
You know what I said, I'm going to go tell him,
because she goes, don't tell him, don't.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It was magnificent, glorious, was glorious. There was a concerned,
mature lady that get going to me, Hey, listen, you
know you're a guy. You should say something to him.
And I kept I was enjoying winder rump so much.
I went, I have He says he prefers it that
she was to say something, and I just did again,
(13:49):
and he said he's not doing anything about it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
She goes, that's it. I'm going to have to tell him.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
She goes over to Chris having to gut him binger
in his face.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh, thank goodness. He had like he's.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Refusing to he has to. He told me he's not.
He's not.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You prefer that that one thing, you know, it's like
his moonwalk, you shot, you know, it's like it's like
ladies like to take the bra off.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
He won't geitar hang out unhound himself.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And yet there was a free bar there, and I
reckon Chris got his money's worth out those beers, didn't He.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Definitely for four permanently.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
In front of this the communication I'm talking about miscommunication.
So he was getting you one, and I think because.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I was drinking red wine, right, Chris said to me
it at one point, Hey, listen, when you get your
red wine, you asked for a beer for yourself as well.
Went oh, and I'm moving on to red wine. Now
he goes, you're not listening to me, say it for
your sound. And then he looked up, looked side O,
Patsy sent for yourself, and you slip it to me
under the table.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'm not getting involved in this. I work with your wife.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I can't have any not right now in the radio
atmosphere that we can't have a fall.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Out here my eyes.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
When four studies turned up, I was horrified, and he goes, oh,
tour for Christian.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Is what.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Bar?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He stopped pulling them.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
It was impressive. I've never seen anything quite like it.
He was a machine.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh, he was making sure he did his money's worth
at that free bar.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
One thing I've noticed the last two or three days
electric car drivers looking extra smug again.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Through looking excess smug again.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
At the moment it's come back around, they're like, Yeah,
how's that a pump crisis going? At the moment, crude
oil over one hundred dollars a barrel. Yesterday, I was
walking my dog down on the beach near where we live,
and I thought i'd pop into the ocean for a swim.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And I was just getting out saw a lovely scene.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I saw a younger dad with his two boys. And
then but both the boys would have been under ten, right,
and they're having a wait of time in there. One
that was on the dad's back, and the dad was
doing a great game while he's pretending that he didn't
know where some was. He's going, he's on your back, Dan,
I'm a spinning man.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is there? It was just a lot, and it was
early in the morning. It was It was a really
nice scene.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And then the younger of the two brothers looked down
and saw that on the on the ocean bed on
the sand was a rainbow. And then he said to
his dad, how is there, Dad, Dad? There's a rainbow
on the floor here on the sound How is there
rainbow here?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And the dad sort of looked.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
At me, and I look back and go, oh, there's
a lot to explain, you know, because we see a rainbow,
we don't really understand what's going on in it. And
the dad goes, it's complicated, and I looked over like
that ain't going to be enough for them.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
They don't. It's like a press conference.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
When it gets like that, there's many more questions ago,
and then the gun goes, what do you mean and
starts trying to explain what a rainbow is and why
you can see it through the water on the floor
of the ocean bed. Now, without googling it, how would
you have handled that situation? This dad did a great job.
I'll tell you in a minute what he said. What
(17:06):
would you have said explaining it to undert ten year olds?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
Now, I don't know what any of these words mean,
but I've heard other people say them, so I would
say things like it's the light refracting off the water.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Ding The dad hit the R word. He said refraction.
I almost want to high five him. That is incredible.
You went straight to refraction. The light separating or the
light beams or no idea.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
What it means?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
What does it mean?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I wouldn't have a clue. I heard people say it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Before lights, because the rainbow in the sky's form when
the light is refracting, bending through water droplets.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Now you've lost med.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Max asked me how people are made the other day.
So I've got no idea.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You have got some otherwise they need to go and
ask their actual dad one day. I'll explain one day
when you find out I've only got that porn band online,
get your idea out, perhats.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What would you say reflection?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I would have used the wrong word.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I would have said it's a some reflect ding off
the water, which wouldn't have been very scientific at all.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
How is a rainbow made? What's happening?
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Isn't it prisms and stuff?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That is right?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Wavelengths of light?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
How does the so light is coming in hitting water?
And then why is it separating? And we get all
those separate colors?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Do you need the ocean for a rainbow? Like can't
you have a rainbow over a mountain?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Yeah, that makes sense right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And it's bending. I think forty two degrees is the
relevant angle. You're seeing to paint that up over the
year that it's forty two degrees.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Then why do we get the separate colors?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
What's parlor spectrum? That's something?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Can they be different?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
What is that stored in the electromagnetic rays of the
Earth's atmosphere?
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I felt like I want to ask this dad some
more questions him to explain it to me.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Sarah at fifty two year old son.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I had no idea that Harry and Meghan are coming
down Under next month.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, Patty, did you know?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
No, if there's.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Been formally announced over the weekend. The way they were
talking about is he still a prince?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Is he still a duke?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
He's a duke.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Think he's a duke?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah. The way they were talking about obviously when they
were last year twenty eighteen, they refer to that tour
as a tour that broke them.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Okay, great, way do.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You think of Australia.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They're going back to revisit the scene of the crime
of the tour that broke them. Anyway, they were saying
that this time though, things are going to be very
different when they come because he's no longer prince and
he's no longer really part of the royal family. So
they're coming and private, and they're coming as private citizens.
The way they were described as if they were here
on a kontiky tour, they were like, so they'd be
flying domestic.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They ain't gonna be on jet stuff. They're arriving on
jet style.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You're not going to see Harry, you know, unloading all
the match in Louis Bouton's a bag is reclaimed number
three a hostel in Bond with some drunk Irish and
Dutch boys. Now, okay, I have a layman's term of
how a rainbow is formed?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Cool, all right?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
A rainbow is formed when sunlight shines through water droplets
in the air like rain or missed, causing the light
to bend, reflect and break into its component colors. It's
an optical illusion. And I don't even know what that
any of this means. Is anyone keeping up to speed?
Speaker 7 (20:43):
What's a level below?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
What's break it down to us? As if with five
year olds ten year olds is too complex? Here is
the step by step process. One of them team came
in said, here's the layman's version of this one. This
is not the layman's version.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
This is PhD we need like Toddler's version.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yes, how would they cover this on bluey and then
half that again? Here's his step by set pro In
simpler terms, sunlight hits a droplet. Imagine a single rain
drop in the sky. When sunlight, which is white light.
Didn't know that, enters this drop, it slows down and bends.
That is refraction. Light breaks into colors. Because white light
(21:23):
is actually made up of all the colors of the rainbow.
The different colors bend at slightly different angles cause them
to separate. This is called dispersion. So do you know
that white light it is containing of other.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
I didn't, but that's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The light bounces. The light reflects off the back of
the rain drop.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It travels back toward the front. Now come on, light
exits and bends again. As the light leaves the rain drop,
it bends refracts one more time, spreading the colors out further,
making them visible to the eye. It's a three piece
combo refraction, reflection, and another refraction. I'm further away from
(21:59):
understanding this now there's nothing but more confusion. I don't
think I can relax enough now to do today's show.
I mean a world of bewilderment.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Kristin show podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Question rainbow fat This comes from Dwayne. If you put
each color of the rainbow on a fan, you turn
the fan on, the fan will turn into white. It
goes back to its original component. It returns to white light.
My mind is blown right now with this whole rainbow chat,
and people are tuning in right now, going, wow, where
you've missed some big rainbow talk in the last twenty
(22:33):
five minutes. You need to get up earlier and turn
this guy our radio station on a lot earlier. All right,
if you choose on the show, we ask you about
the small thing that drives you mad, things that make
you go gur patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Let me start with the love God. My husband he
made pizzas which was nice over the weekend, and we
had one of those pizza stones that make the base
all lovely and crispy. Anyway, we can't find it, so
he thought he would just put it on a normal dinner.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Plate and into a hot oven, into.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
The oven, and then I said to him, at one point,
I think the pizzas will be ready.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know you just you working at the pit stops
team at the weekend.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
And he opens it and he goes, oh, the dinner
plates broken.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I said, did you put on a dinner plate?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Refractions happened here?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yes, he said, And I said, well it's not oven proof.
Look at the Jamie the dinner set.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh, no good stuff. When the vicar comes around or
Harry and.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Megan, oh, And he goes, well, that's no good if
it's not. And I said, so there was no pizza.
We are yet another plate down. We've got like three
dinner plates left because we keep busting them like our
wine classes jeers, and we ended up just dialing ubering
(23:56):
pizza anyway, So you know, like read.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The bat reckon. He knew what he was doing. He's
outplate you there.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He knew make pizza always tastes so much better when
you make it at home.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Franked it up to two hundred. It's splitting about eight pieces.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
It's actually so dangerous.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Fly up, real. What's the thing to make you good cooking?
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You always got to cook with onion and garlic.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
But it does my head in And I don't know
why we haven't genetically modified it in some way When
you have to peel that tiny like cellophane skin off
the onion and peeling garlic just drives me crazy every time.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Don't you buy the pre chop stuff? Is my wife
mad when open up that jar? Someone's done it for me?
Speaker 8 (24:49):
No, that stuff is That.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Makes no difference. What are you a chef running a
restaurant that garlic? Thank you, factory.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Workers were chop Chop Chop Chop probably got special goggles
on chopping out for us at the onion equivalent of
the Wonka factory.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I love to chop onions up into pieces for us.
It's they cry for us. That's that's true. He's a
pre tears.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
They're very like. It's got a weird flavored the two
Minston mushi.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Perfect than you can do it. You're wasting all that time.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
It takes so long, and then to clean up for us.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Well, yes, and I've tried all the TikTok hats where
you chuck it in a jar and shake shake shape.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Yes, none of them doesn't work. It doesn't Alex, what's
it for you? I got sucked into this the other day.
I went to the market and I bought new seasoned apples.
Are they're going to be fresh.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They're going to have that last nice beautiful apple sort
of sound when you bite into it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But no, it was flowery. A flowery apple gets me.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So a flowery and the other one is powdery like meringue,
because because apple is something to behold. Christal acidity and
the crunch it's heartbreaking, like when you break the skin
of an apple. Yes, it needs to be like when
you tap on.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
A c.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
There's got to be a noise.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's when the guy invented when he was like brainstorming crembula,
because there was a time in history where there no kremblays.
I feel so sorry for the people. What did you
do for dessert, mister cave Man?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
What did you do? They were when they were designing
and product testing.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And it needs to feel like a Granny Smith when
you buy a pin and you break that skin, that's it.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That shatter, that's what I need.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Christian Connell Show podcast, What.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Small Things Change You Mad?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I also didn't know that we were broadcast into so
many garlic snobs. Oh I'm sorry Marco, Pierre Whites and
Michelle Roue. Yeah, judge me, I buy the jar pre
chop garlic so I can carry on with my best life.
Two than choppy, choppy, chop chop chop, chop chop, wasting
(27:16):
an hour just peting the thing.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
It is a very dull process. It does take a
very long time, but it's worth it. It's worth it.
How do you know, because I've used that garden, you're
not that.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I bet you're probably not that great chefs lovey good. No, no, no,
you would not be able to tell the difference between
pre chopped garlic out of the tube of the jar
and real thing.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Absolutely whether in your job.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
There's the reason that stuff in the jar is brown. Yes,
so it's brown. Awful color brown.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's the color of greatness. It's one of the underrated
colors of the rainbow. The way to make a rainbow
even more beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Had a wee bit of brown brown. No, no, no, no, no,
come to England that russet colored rainbow. You get there's
no goal at the end of those rain.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You Christian. Put garlic in the microwave for ten seconds.
It's eating out the skin.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Tell you what. It slides out the jar with the
tea booth.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Why don't you open that jar or the tube to
squeeze it in now one of our producers. You know,
I'm talking about Tina with five e's. He's a very
proud member, self identified of the War community. And she
came in gave him the chef's kiss. She said, war
community use chop garlic all the time. Christian, Okay, well, okay,
I did not understand that her mamma's mussaka isn't great.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
I think maybe it would be better with fresh guy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Now, you do not want an international incidence with the
war community.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
I did not know that they are pieces.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
We are peacenicks here on this show.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Okay, Okay, maybe I didn't realize Adventure into Shop Chop
Radio was about pre chopped garlic. Apparently it's too hot
to handle. Carl's own control the headline.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Now the new Carla's in town is buying pre chopped garlic. Christian.
One drives me mad when people don't chop their own garlic.
How do you send this text five times to me? Woman? Christian?
What try? And people don't move on on the footpath.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
There could be two or more people walking and they
all remain next to each other, walking in line. No,
that's wrong, Heather Santa has gone instill. One question that.
I think it makes me go growers. When you bust
into go into the toilet for a number two, you
sit down and nothing happens. It's like your body is
taking the mickey. That's from Santo, thanks to sharing mate.
(29:38):
Not quite the spirit at all. That's all things will
make you girl when you this is from Natalie. When
you put up to the stop light and then you
come to a full stop, then the car in front
nudges up a bit, stop, I move up and then stop.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Then the car in front again. Who's up again?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Father, Love of Christ, Why Carl that? Just put up
behind the car in front of the correct distance and
just stop. Guys, just never know, never just that. Christian,
I'm with Rio on the garlic. Shame on me, shame shame, shame,
shame on you.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For buying all the jar stuff. That's a mandy, Mandy
that this is about the fifth one from you.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Now, Christian to pelled garlic. You tell me the wrong guy.
Someone's done it even easier for me and put it
in a jar. Bless them.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Who Knew? Who Knew?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So many garlic snobs out there seem someone has come
up with a very good suggestion. I'm gonna make you
something a portion of it with garlic straight from the jar, yes,
and then a portion of it with real proper garlic,
and see if you can taste the difference.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I'll be able to even smell the difference.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And then Sha and van By, you won't garlic?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Why would Christian? You need to solve this with the
taste tests.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Make something with fresh gardict that make it with guard
It from a jart rear will not be to tell
the difference. I need to get a hold of Chef Ramsey.
We need to reach out to the actual chef community. Actually,
don't ask him. I can guess the spray, okay, anyone
other than that, ask them, okay where they stand, or
even just chefs listening to the show right now, garlic
(31:24):
out the chart? Is there any real taste difference? Gianna
used to the same brand as me. Okay, I don't
know what's happened in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
We can now receive pictures on the text.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
From listeners nervous about what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Let's just keep but your favorite brand of chop garlic.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's not a euphemism, all right, So I want to know,

very uniquely Australian thing and phrase, you know, put that
in the pull room, Patsy, what's in your pull room?

this tawny port. Dennis Dell's got a Twny Port commemorative
one as well. I don't know why they did that,
but they did.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Do you know when the show turns eight years old
on June the fourth, maybe we should have a port
to celebrate. How do you even go out organizing such
a thing. We need to find out. We've got a
couple of months ahead of us now. A commemorative port.

(36:34):
search for the wildest story that is out there. You've

You couldn't make it up. Five thousand dollars. Since we
hear the story, I'll just give you the money.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
We've got some great ones.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
At the moment, Christine had her worked in a shop,
had the stereo stolen returned by the thief. He sent
it back, paid someone to send it back in a taxi. Kevin,
I can't. I don't even summarize this. It needs to
be told by the great man himself. We got this Friday.
It was something else.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Made of mine.
Speaker 10 (37:10):
His gutters were full of leaves, so he threw a
rope up and over the house, through the pagola and
inside it to his wife's car because she was away,
flowered himself down, tied the rope around his waist, and
was cleaning out the gar Then he felt himself sliding
up the roof. His wife had come home and was
going to go to the shop, drove and dragged him
up over the roof, ripped the pagola down. He landed
on the driveway and tried to get to his feet
(37:32):
to chase it down the drive way.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
The biggest injury he's had was.
Speaker 10 (37:35):
All holes in his bum from the roofscrews as he
was slid up the roof.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So mister Bean couldn't have orchestreets at a comedic moment
like that, Oh we can.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
I kept thinking about that scene. Just incredible.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Jess also hand this amazing story for you. Couldn't make
it up.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I gave birth to my second son in the car
while my husband was driving. As we got to the
end of the street, his head crowned. I said to
USand we're not going to make it. Then, yeah, ten
seconds later his head was out. Another ten seconds later
I just kind of grabbed him put him up onto
my chest.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Incredible scenes. All right.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Now, this story I wasn't going to share on air,
but producer Tina begged me, begged me before today's show
to do the sunglasses and the fish story on air.
Tina listened. Maybe I was wrong. I think the story
needs to be aired. It's one for the pull room.
(38:33):
Peter Christiana's fishing with my friend. We came out of
Late mcquarie. My friend called a flathead and when I
was using the land and now I dropped it and
it was floating away. My friend jumped in to retrieve it,
but he had his sunglasses on. He lost them in
the water. We went back to fishing. The next fish
he caught had the sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
His sunglasses on its heads. No, what a story.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Story now, it almost never made it on air with Tina.
I'm sorry, madness, what a.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
Story he's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I mean? George is a classic movie, but kind of
a pair of son Roy Schneider's. Yes, Sonny's on there.
What a story? You couldn't make it up?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Christian Christian About forty years ago, I was working on
a construction site. One lunch break ordered calamari and chips.
Already he realized his hang on a minute on the
front page. We then went to the park to eat
my lunch, but couldn't he everything can fed the leftovers
(39:49):
to the seagulls. One particular bird got a piece of calamari,
shook it violently, and the calamari flew into the air
about meter, then came straight back over the seagull's neck,
wearing it like a necklace, and then got chased by
three other seagulls as he was trying to get a
lot of flying away and getting chased.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Go ahead, poor seagull, he's a great But are they
five grand?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
The seagull have.
Speaker 7 (40:18):
To justify that one to the company.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Now this is this is this is some story christ
And my sister was having her two yearly mammograms. She
was in the room with the lady little scan and
had her breast was in the machine and when they
squeeze your boob tightly while she was getting the scan,
the lady operating this tripped on her fell and broke
her ankle a compound fracture.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
So my sister has a boob trapped.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
In the machine and the lady can't reach the button
to release her as she's rolling around the floor in pain,
and my sister couldn't get out to help. They were
both screaming for help until eventually a little man came
in to save the day, help the lady on the
floor and also really release my sister's boob.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Now that's that's a contender, all right.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
So if you've got a wild story, this show is

Speaker 4 (41:22):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Rod sayers, it's got a story for us for you
couldn't make it up, Christian. Here we goes boarding a
flight from Johanna's Burning to London in the nineties. While
sitting in the plane at the boarding gate, announcement comes
over the PA system. If missus Kay is on board,
would she please make herself known to a flight attendant.
A few minutes past repeat announcement, if missus Kay is
on board, please make yourself known to the flight attendant.
(41:49):
A few more minutes, another announcement about missus Kay. I'm
gonna have to wait on board where we have a
buggege luggage all unloaded. Thank your patience. After a ten
minute delay, announcement was that we are cleared for departure.
Five minutes after leveling up in the icy he smoked
like loads of it coming out of an overhead locker
and immediately think of missus Kay, So call the nearest
(42:11):
flight attendant. I believe it's to the fact that she
must have skipped keeping calm in the face of possible
disaster one on one she screamed shit.
Speaker 7 (42:19):
He stayed calm.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
She screamed shit.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I thought, well, it's been a good life so far.
I kissed my wife goodbye, closed my eyes and laid
back and thought of never making it to Britain. Fortunately,
flight attendant regained. A composer called for the on bold
engineer who looked at the locker and said, oh so mate, it's.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
This con.
Speaker 7 (42:38):
Question.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
We never found out what happened to missus. Kay, that's
up there with the klamari. Put it in the poor uom.

Speaker 12 (43:02):
Ah. I was back in the late sixties. I was
a young kid and living up at Orange and one
morning that the dog was at the front window. Oh, Bart,
and it's head off. And we went and had a
look and there's three elephants drinking out of the front
front tap. So my mum rang the police and they said,
oh yeah, okay, what's police arrest? And eventually they get
(43:25):
there and by that time the people from the circus,
they'd run away from the circus. They come and got
the elephants because they never came and paid the excess
water bill.

Well, I'm only sharing it because I have a chance
to win some money, because it's really bad. Once I
was backpacking in my teenage and I was in Europe
and visited Moscow with my cousins and one of them
to just said, they let's go to this underground color
you know club. So we went to this underground club
(44:17):
which is supposed to be really cool and hip, and
when we walked in, there was all these televisions like
around the club of like semiclad and underwear wearing men
and women, and I thought, okay, that's a bit weird,
that's a bit Russian. Yeah, So a little while later
(44:37):
I went to the bathroom and when I was sitting
in the store, I was looking and I noticed that
there's two flushes. There was one flush that just said
normal flush, and there was the other flush that said
extreme flush. And I was like, what's extreme flush? I'm
going to have to press this and I pressed it
and nothing happened, and so I was like, Okay, that's weird.
(45:00):
And I went downstairs and the whole entire bar was
looking at me, and I was like, what I must
be loo really good tonight. And then I looked up
and there was me on the toilets. On every screen
in the entire bar, you could see everything.
Speaker 7 (45:21):
So bad is an extreme flash?
Speaker 1 (45:24):
My lord? Extreme flash?
Speaker 2 (45:27):
That's maybe misread it, you know mostco lettering, I don't know,
Russian critic, classic Russian rush.
Speaker 13 (45:34):
What well, yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Wow, you wouldn't make that up. You shouldn't. What a
crazy story, Marik, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Looking a few incredible stories. You couldn't make it up?
What do we think of this one? It's only a
couple of lines. It's just the casualness of this, like
it's oh yeah, that's yes, happened a lot. Here this
one Christian. My mum fell out of a window on
a Here. She fell out of a window. The second
floor window in her house was on a hill. Our
(46:12):
uncle happened to be walking below and caught her.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Come on, no he's not.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
No, no, no, no, no, tell you why five k
five thousand reasons to lie never happened. Oh what are
the odds, old uncle biddy Marie in my arms? No, sir, no, no, no. However,
I have true crime story of the decade, Christian. Last
(46:45):
week I caught the training Whilst waiting for the train
to come, I noticed a man sitting on the platform
with a bag of fish and chips. He wasn't really
eating them, He's just sort of letting them air. It
started to tract seagulls, as you can imagine, it began
to circle him on the platform. Instead of shimming the
birds away, the man offered them a few chips he
(47:05):
tossed one foot away, just s from him. He was
beckoning them to him to come close. He kept doing this,
eking the chips out slowly intil there's a big group
of seagulls in front of them. I'm talking fifteen or
twenty A tiny army of seagulls. He'd throw them a
chip every now and then, just enough to keep them interested,
but not enough to satiate them. It was frustrating. They
(47:26):
were getting angry, attacking each other, squawking. It was like
he was rearing them up for something. Then the train come,
everyone got on. The man stayed on the ground with
the chips. The train was about to leave, and then
it happened Christian. Right before the doors closed, the man
threw the entire bag of chips into the train. The
(47:49):
entire flock of seagulls followed the bag. The doors closed
inside the train pandemonium.
Speaker 7 (47:56):
That is diabolical.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
True crime story of the dead out.
Speaker 7 (48:01):
That is literally like the Junker.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Oh, you'd be so angry screaming can be screaming?
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Can it?
Speaker 2 (48:10):
We're all there, aren't We can imagine the scenes. Keep
you mind your own business. And suddenly some terrorist trucks
a bag of chips, Chucks piffs, a bag of chips
in there follow us swarm of angry seagulls now flapping
their enormous wings.
Speaker 7 (48:25):

A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Good morning, Patsy, morning everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Good morning Alex morning, and good morning Ria, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, we were at wedding of the century on Saturday night.
Our producer Caitlin got married to her girlfriend and it
was a celebration of unity, love and joy, an incredible
atmosphere in the evening. All that the Caitlin's speech was fantastic,
generally really moving, beautifully done. She held it together with
(02:09):
such poise and presents. She did a really really good job.
And Dad's speech made every every guy cry in the room.
I need to talk about the scene when we arrive though,
never been to a wedding reception where there's a Q.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The street for what me.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
And Patsy and my daughter Ruby and Chris, the love
God had all gone for drink around around the corner,
an amazing rooftop bar where we were the oldest people
there were the three grown ups by at least three decades.
People were doing a double take like they knockos.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Mission you're a gun, bust someone up.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
You're a giveaway when you say very noisy.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Too noisy.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And then I saw two idiots on the turntables. Guys,
is four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You will listen Fred again, You're not okay, just stick on,
so turn it, turn it down, Turn it down, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We go to the corner's cue at the wedding reception
because of what was waiting for you based on whether
or not you were making a substantial cash donation. If
you were making an envelope cash donation, you were allowed
a free drink. For those who just turned up. You
were not allowed a free welcome. Yeah, it was harsh.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
I only won, though, only one for the person who
actually so Chris put our envelope through and got a
lovely lemon cillo, and I thought, oh, okay, where's mine.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It's just just for one.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
You got to share that time.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now I just described the scene we've been talking about
the show particikat and made this giant oversized welcome board
that did actually look incredible.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So I had the.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Table plan on Each table plan was named and themed.
One was after a dog. I was on the Carlton table.
There was no reference as to what was called the
Carlton table.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
There was there was no rum or reasontory.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
About about the about the names, but each one was
fraying and stuck onto the board. So presentation at Tamakia.
Then we come to the bottom left hand corner where
there was a cut out rectangle hole with velvet curtains
and a board.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Teenager like the Wizard of Oz the other.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Side of it on their phone, handing you a lemon
cello shot if you pass through an envelope stuff with cash.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
There was a slot for money, and then above it
was a curtain where one single lemon shell.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I've never seen anything at a wedding.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So I just presumed that the envelope guaranteed the bearers
of this gift two shots. So I hand my envelope
through and then one drink comes out, and so I
then speak into the hole and go, there's two of us.
Then the teenager breaks character.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Here's around the board going.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm told it's one per envelope. Sorry, Ruby, that drinks mine.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So no envelope, no drink, no tough. So it's strange
w to it all. But people look confused. How do
you get that drink? You gotta give them catch you.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
There were cigars as well, yes, cigar.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh right, very There was just a lot going on
when you got there. Yea.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
It was sort of muffiaso.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Yes, yeah, it was a lockoing on the whole time.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And then there was a surprise during the night on
the dance floor of the saxophone player.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
M Now this is this was interesting decision.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I thought it was to create a lot of buzz. Yeah, yes,
was he miming or was he playing live? Was it
quite sure? I wasn't sure.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
It's like he was supposed to have this big entrance
where it was like the dance floor started, bam, there's
a saxophone player.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
But he clearly hadn't been worded up when his entrance was.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's not a big anxious if you're coming out the
back kitchen.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
He just he was just standing there and the music
cut out and then instead of like.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
He just goes oh oh, I think I'm a big surprise.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
That awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And then what's that one song?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because I've seen this movie before, you know where they
have the saxophone guy? What's that song that it was
a hit in the last you know it's it came
out the last. I'm pretty sure it got played three times.
I heard it at least twice. I was like, Okay,
this is about ten minutes ago. He needs some new gear.
(06:39):
And then they had a bit of a little bit
of a Baker Street remix and I'm thinking more sax songs?
Is he going to get through?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Michael?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
He was inserting himself into as many songs as he
possibly can.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yes, hell with live saxophone.
Speaker 4 (06:55):

It's a modern body songs this all the time. Loved it.

It came round a lot. Do you hear it once?
It's fun, you know the saxophone guy. Also, how tight

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm not a fan of heated rivals. Patsy, you are
Monday winner or loser.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Definitely a Monday winner.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yesterday I was out in the backyard and I heard
a sound that I have not heard for many a
moon in our coulder sack.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
It was mister Whippy.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'd be great if the team had loaded up now,
that would have been the smooth things to go. But
it's not ham But can you do an impression of
a patch.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Singing ding ding ding, which sounds a bit creepy when
I do it? Really, But what o'clock in the afternoon
And it was mister Whippy And I haven't had him
in the street for ages. And it doesn't matter how
old you are. When you hear that tune, you feel
like five again. It's like, oh my god, have we
got any change? Where's the cards? Let's get a nice cream?
(09:37):
So we went out the front and he was the
loveliest guy and really interesting.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
We got talking to him and I.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Was working up. He's just working up now.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He's just bought this fan and he's about our ages
in his early fifties.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
We said, how did you get to be?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You know?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Have you done this for long? And he said, you know,
I used to be a spray painter for all these decades.
And he said, I was getting sick of it. I
wanted to change and I wanted to do something.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
A great different. What a great pevat friend. That was
the world of lockdown.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
People were pivoting making sour dough bread and learning the ukuleley.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But what a great pivot.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Go from a spraying car and suddenly where do you
even find them to buy?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I know, so I don't know, but he's got this.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
It's an old Evan but he had it all spruced
up and he was just the loveliest person.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It was a immaculate don't oh, it was shiny.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You could see your face in the juco. Well, he
was a spray painter, remember, so he's probably done it up.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I remember, don't forget because call back to that.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
What do they do in winter?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Though?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I think it's a very seasonal business.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They chase the sun. So he'll drive that around Australia
chasing they do. You see a big exodus.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Of them all in a convoy down birds fail, they
go around the under Us.

I had a kid's party with fifty kids.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
And he said, and then I had a wedding last
night where you know, it's like a novelty thing they
go and do weddings, is it? Winters are a bit quiet,
but he said, someer's more than making up for it.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It must be green going at winter time. Surely dried
around because you hear this, you're stuck into its. You're
like you know that you've lit the fire. You don't
feel like a cone.
Speaker 9 (11:27):

with the flake in the top.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Old school. Yes, it's all the best, aren't they it.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I just loved his story. I thought it was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Here's the other thing I find fascinating as well.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
You.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't think you can just buy one and start
driving around any area you want. I think there's a
there are licenses and that we always well, suddenly someone's
been looking after those berbs for years. Suddenly old mate
is just have a power pivot starts rocking up.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Like, well, what you doing? Patchworks.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm pretty sure in Scotland there was a violent assault.
I think someone might have lost their life in a
fight between two ice cream guys over a rival patch
have a corner. Yeah, seriously, I'm pretty sure you have
to apply for a.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Life stary local council and stuff. You'd have to like
health and safety and.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Guys, just be honest.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
We're in Australia, the land of no worries, but plenty
of admin.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Forms and beauty. There be a permit, permit, permit.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Christian Color Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
One thing we do just need to address, you know,
I prefer we got out of the way in the
first out of the show before we get prime time.
Your husband Chris, and let's just say the cave door open.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I think there was a misinformation when he was ordering
beers on Saturday night, so he was double parking thinking
he would get.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm not talking about that double parking. Oh, I'm talking
about him. Let's just say leaving the car ports open flies.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Oh, he's so embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It was least half an hour him several songs.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Sorry he should because I thought it was funny.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
You know what I said, I'm going to go tell him,
because she goes, don't tell him, don't.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
It was magnificent, glorious, was glorious. There was a concerned,
mature lady that get going to me, Hey, listen, you
know you're a guy. You should say something to him.
And I kept I was enjoying winder rump so much.
I went, I have He says he prefers it that
she was to say something, and I just did again,
(13:49):
and he said he's not doing anything about it.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
She goes, that's it. I'm going to have to tell him.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
She goes over to Chris having to gut him binger
in his face.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh, thank goodness. He had like he's.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Refusing to he has to. He told me he's not.
He's not.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You prefer that that one thing, you know, it's like
his moonwalk, you shot, you know, it's like it's like
ladies like to take the bra off.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
He won't geitar hang out unhound himself.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And yet there was a free bar there, and I
reckon Chris got his money's worth out those beers, didn't He.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Definitely for four permanently.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
In front of this the communication I'm talking about miscommunication.
So he was getting you one, and I think because.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I was drinking red wine, right, Chris said to me
it at one point, Hey, listen, when you get your
red wine, you asked for a beer for yourself as well.
Went oh, and I'm moving on to red wine. Now
he goes, you're not listening to me, say it for
your sound. And then he looked up, looked side O,
Patsy sent for yourself, and you slip it to me
under the table.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I'm not getting involved in this. I work with your wife.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I can't have any not right now in the radio
atmosphere that we can't have a fall.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Out here my eyes.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
When four studies turned up, I was horrified, and he goes, oh,
tour for Christian.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Is what.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Bar?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He stopped pulling them.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
It was impressive. I've never seen anything quite like it.
He was a machine.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh, he was making sure he did his money's worth
at that free bar.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
One thing I've noticed the last two or three days
electric car drivers looking extra smug again.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Through looking excess smug again.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
At the moment it's come back around, they're like, Yeah,
how's that a pump crisis going? At the moment, crude
oil over one hundred dollars a barrel. Yesterday, I was
walking my dog down on the beach near where we live,
and I thought i'd pop into the ocean for a swim.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
And I was just getting out saw a lovely scene.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I saw a younger dad with his two boys. And
then but both the boys would have been under ten, right,
and they're having a wait of time in there. One
that was on the dad's back, and the dad was
doing a great game while he's pretending that he didn't
know where some was. He's going, he's on your back, Dan,
I'm a spinning man.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Is there? It was just a lot, and it was
early in the morning. It was It was a really
nice scene.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And then the younger of the two brothers looked down
and saw that on the on the ocean bed on
the sand was a rainbow. And then he said to
his dad, how is there, Dad, Dad? There's a rainbow
on the floor here on the sound How is there
rainbow here?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
And the dad sort of looked.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
At me, and I look back and go, oh, there's
a lot to explain, you know, because we see a rainbow,
we don't really understand what's going on in it. And
the dad goes, it's complicated, and I looked over like
that ain't going to be enough for them.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
They don't. It's like a press conference.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
When it gets like that, there's many more questions ago,
and then the gun goes, what do you mean and
starts trying to explain what a rainbow is and why
you can see it through the water on the floor
of the ocean bed. Now, without googling it, how would
you have handled that situation? This dad did a great job.
I'll tell you in a minute what he said. What
(17:06):
would you have said explaining it to undert ten year olds?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
Now, I don't know what any of these words mean,
but I've heard other people say them, so I would
say things like it's the light refracting off the water.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Ding The dad hit the R word. He said refraction.
I almost want to high five him. That is incredible.
You went straight to refraction. The light separating or the
light beams or no idea.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
What it means?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
What does it mean?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
I wouldn't have a clue. I heard people say it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Before lights, because the rainbow in the sky's form when
the light is refracting, bending through water droplets.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Now you've lost med.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Max asked me how people are made the other day.
So I've got no idea.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You have got some otherwise they need to go and
ask their actual dad one day. I'll explain one day
when you find out I've only got that porn band online,
get your idea out, perhats.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What would you say reflection?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I would have used the wrong word.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I would have said it's a some reflect ding off
the water, which wouldn't have been very scientific at all.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
How is a rainbow made? What's happening?
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Isn't it prisms and stuff?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That is right?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Wavelengths of light?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
How does the so light is coming in hitting water?
And then why is it separating? And we get all
those separate colors?
Speaker 8 (18:30):
Do you need the ocean for a rainbow? Like can't
you have a rainbow over a mountain?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Yeah, that makes sense right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And it's bending. I think forty two degrees is the
relevant angle. You're seeing to paint that up over the
year that it's forty two degrees.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Then why do we get the separate colors?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
What's parlor spectrum? That's something?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Can they be different?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
What is that stored in the electromagnetic rays of the
Earth's atmosphere?
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I felt like I want to ask this dad some
more questions him to explain it to me.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Sarah at fifty two year old son.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I had no idea that Harry and Meghan are coming
down Under next month.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, Patty, did you know?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
No, if there's.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Been formally announced over the weekend. The way they were
talking about is he still a prince?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Is he still a duke?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
He's a duke.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Think he's a duke?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah. The way they were talking about obviously when they
were last year twenty eighteen, they refer to that tour
as a tour that broke them.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Okay, great, way do.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You think of Australia.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
They're going back to revisit the scene of the crime
of the tour that broke them. Anyway, they were saying
that this time though, things are going to be very
different when they come because he's no longer prince and
he's no longer really part of the royal family. So
they're coming and private, and they're coming as private citizens.
The way they were described as if they were here
on a kontiky tour, they were like, so they'd be
flying domestic.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They ain't gonna be on jet stuff. They're arriving on
jet style.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You're not going to see Harry, you know, unloading all
the match in Louis Bouton's a bag is reclaimed number
three a hostel in Bond with some drunk Irish and
Dutch boys. Now, okay, I have a layman's term of
how a rainbow is formed?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Cool, all right?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
A rainbow is formed when sunlight shines through water droplets
in the air like rain or missed, causing the light
to bend, reflect and break into its component colors. It's
an optical illusion. And I don't even know what that
any of this means. Is anyone keeping up to speed?
Speaker 7 (20:43):
What's a level below?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
What's break it down to us? As if with five
year olds ten year olds is too complex? Here is
the step by step process. One of them team came
in said, here's the layman's version of this one. This
is not the layman's version.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
This is PhD we need like Toddler's version.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yes, how would they cover this on bluey and then
half that again? Here's his step by set pro In
simpler terms, sunlight hits a droplet. Imagine a single rain
drop in the sky. When sunlight, which is white light.
Didn't know that, enters this drop, it slows down and bends.
That is refraction. Light breaks into colors. Because white light
(21:23):
is actually made up of all the colors of the rainbow.
The different colors bend at slightly different angles cause them
to separate. This is called dispersion. So do you know
that white light it is containing of other.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
I didn't, but that's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The light bounces. The light reflects off the back of
the rain drop.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It travels back toward the front. Now come on, light
exits and bends again. As the light leaves the rain drop,
it bends refracts one more time, spreading the colors out further,
making them visible to the eye. It's a three piece
combo refraction, reflection, and another refraction. I'm further away from
(21:59):
understanding this now there's nothing but more confusion. I don't
think I can relax enough now to do today's show.
I mean a world of bewilderment.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Kristin show podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Question rainbow fat This comes from Dwayne. If you put
each color of the rainbow on a fan, you turn
the fan on, the fan will turn into white. It
goes back to its original component. It returns to white light.
My mind is blown right now with this whole rainbow chat,
and people are tuning in right now, going, wow, where
you've missed some big rainbow talk in the last twenty
(22:33):
five minutes. You need to get up earlier and turn
this guy our radio station on a lot earlier. All right,
if you choose on the show, we ask you about
the small thing that drives you mad, things that make
you go gur patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Let me start with the love God. My husband he
made pizzas which was nice over the weekend, and we
had one of those pizza stones that make the base
all lovely and crispy. Anyway, we can't find it, so
he thought he would just put it on a normal dinner.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Plate and into a hot oven, into.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
The oven, and then I said to him, at one point,
I think the pizzas will be ready.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know you just you working at the pit stops
team at the weekend.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
And he opens it and he goes, oh, the dinner
plates broken.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I said, did you put on a dinner plate?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Refractions happened here?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yes, he said, And I said, well it's not oven proof.
Look at the Jamie the dinner set.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh, no good stuff. When the vicar comes around or
Harry and.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Megan, oh, And he goes, well, that's no good if
it's not. And I said, so there was no pizza.
We are yet another plate down. We've got like three
dinner plates left because we keep busting them like our
wine classes jeers, and we ended up just dialing ubering
(23:56):
pizza anyway, So you know, like read.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
The bat reckon. He knew what he was doing. He's
outplate you there.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
He knew make pizza always tastes so much better when
you make it at home.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Franked it up to two hundred. It's splitting about eight pieces.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
It's actually so dangerous.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Fly up, real. What's the thing to make you good cooking?
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You always got to cook with onion and garlic.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
But it does my head in And I don't know
why we haven't genetically modified it in some way When
you have to peel that tiny like cellophane skin off
the onion and peeling garlic just drives me crazy every time.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Don't you buy the pre chop stuff? Is my wife
mad when open up that jar? Someone's done it for me?
Speaker 8 (24:49):
No, that stuff is That.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Makes no difference. What are you a chef running a
restaurant that garlic? Thank you, factory.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Workers were chop Chop Chop Chop probably got special goggles
on chopping out for us at the onion equivalent of
the Wonka factory.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I love to chop onions up into pieces for us.
It's they cry for us. That's that's true. He's a
pre tears.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
They're very like. It's got a weird flavored the two
Minston mushi.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Perfect than you can do it. You're wasting all that time.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
It takes so long, and then to clean up for us.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Well, yes, and I've tried all the TikTok hats where
you chuck it in a jar and shake shake shape.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
Yes, none of them doesn't work. It doesn't Alex, what's
it for you? I got sucked into this the other day.
I went to the market and I bought new seasoned apples.
Are they're going to be fresh.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They're going to have that last nice beautiful apple sort
of sound when you bite into it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
But no, it was flowery. A flowery apple gets me.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So a flowery and the other one is powdery like meringue,
because because apple is something to behold. Christal acidity and
the crunch it's heartbreaking, like when you break the skin
of an apple. Yes, it needs to be like when
you tap on.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
A c.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
There's got to be a noise.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's when the guy invented when he was like brainstorming crembula,
because there was a time in history where there no kremblays.
I feel so sorry for the people. What did you
do for dessert, mister cave Man?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
What did you do? They were when they were designing
and product testing.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And it needs to feel like a Granny Smith when
you buy a pin and you break that skin, that's it.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That shatter, that's what I need.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Christian Connell Show podcast, What.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Small Things Change You Mad?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I also didn't know that we were broadcast into so
many garlic snobs. Oh I'm sorry Marco, Pierre Whites and
Michelle Roue. Yeah, judge me, I buy the jar pre
chop garlic so I can carry on with my best life.
Two than choppy, choppy, chop chop chop, chop chop, wasting
(27:16):
an hour just peting the thing.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
It is a very dull process. It does take a
very long time, but it's worth it. It's worth it.
How do you know, because I've used that garden, you're
not that.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I bet you're probably not that great chefs lovey good. No, no, no,
you would not be able to tell the difference between
pre chopped garlic out of the tube of the jar
and real thing.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Absolutely whether in your job.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
There's the reason that stuff in the jar is brown. Yes,
so it's brown. Awful color brown.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's the color of greatness. It's one of the underrated
colors of the rainbow. The way to make a rainbow
even more beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Had a wee bit of brown brown. No, no, no, no, no,
come to England that russet colored rainbow. You get there's
no goal at the end of those rain.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You Christian. Put garlic in the microwave for ten seconds.
It's eating out the skin.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Tell you what. It slides out the jar with the
tea booth.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Why don't you open that jar or the tube to
squeeze it in now one of our producers. You know,
I'm talking about Tina with five e's. He's a very
proud member, self identified of the War community. And she
came in gave him the chef's kiss. She said, war
community use chop garlic all the time. Christian, Okay, well, okay,
I did not understand that her mamma's mussaka isn't great.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
I think maybe it would be better with fresh guy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Now, you do not want an international incidence with the
war community.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
I did not know that they are pieces.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
We are peacenicks here on this show.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Okay, Okay, maybe I didn't realize Adventure into Shop Chop
Radio was about pre chopped garlic. Apparently it's too hot
to handle. Carl's own control the headline.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Now the new Carla's in town is buying pre chopped garlic. Christian.
One drives me mad when people don't chop their own garlic.
How do you send this text five times to me? Woman? Christian?
What try? And people don't move on on the footpath.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
There could be two or more people walking and they
all remain next to each other, walking in line. No,
that's wrong, Heather Santa has gone instill. One question that.
I think it makes me go growers. When you bust
into go into the toilet for a number two, you
sit down and nothing happens. It's like your body is
taking the mickey. That's from Santo, thanks to sharing mate.
(29:38):
Not quite the spirit at all. That's all things will
make you girl when you this is from Natalie. When
you put up to the stop light and then you
come to a full stop, then the car in front
nudges up a bit, stop, I move up and then stop.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Then the car in front again. Who's up again?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Father, Love of Christ, Why Carl that? Just put up
behind the car in front of the correct distance and
just stop. Guys, just never know, never just that. Christian,
I'm with Rio on the garlic. Shame on me, shame shame, shame,
shame on you.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For buying all the jar stuff. That's a mandy, Mandy
that this is about the fifth one from you.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Now, Christian to pelled garlic. You tell me the wrong guy.
Someone's done it even easier for me and put it
in a jar. Bless them.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Who Knew? Who Knew?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So many garlic snobs out there seem someone has come
up with a very good suggestion. I'm gonna make you
something a portion of it with garlic straight from the jar, yes,
and then a portion of it with real proper garlic,
and see if you can taste the difference.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
I'll be able to even smell the difference.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And then Sha and van By, you won't garlic?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Why would Christian? You need to solve this with the
taste tests.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Make something with fresh gardict that make it with guard
It from a jart rear will not be to tell
the difference. I need to get a hold of Chef Ramsey.
We need to reach out to the actual chef community. Actually,
don't ask him. I can guess the spray, okay, anyone
other than that, ask them, okay where they stand, or
even just chefs listening to the show right now, garlic
(31:24):
out the chart? Is there any real taste difference? Gianna
used to the same brand as me. Okay, I don't
know what's happened in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
We can now receive pictures on the text.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
From listeners nervous about what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Let's just keep but your favorite brand of chop garlic.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's not a euphemism, all right, So I want to know,
now what is in your poll room? This is a
very uniquely Australian thing and phrase, you know, put that
in the pull room, Patsy, what's in your pull room?
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Well?
Speaker 5 (31:58):
The love God.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
I don't have anything because I like to think I'm
a little bit classier than that. But my husband has
got these two figurines. People listeners will remember it. I
think it was a bb emotion in the two thousands
and it was like figurines of Boonie, David Boone and
Ian Botham and they've got batteries in them and you
he still got them? Yeah, yeah, we I was going
(32:20):
to roadshow.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I just look at the bottom in Queensland.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
This is about one.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Australian me collectors.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Items make mark my weird. So when you would watch.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
The Cricket Live is going straight?
Speaker 6 (32:43):
When you watch the Cricket Live, you put him next
to the telly and when someone's out or whatever, they
would have a phrase that have like I don't know,
four or five different phrases.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
What it is like how za? Yeah, I remember it.
It was.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I wonder how many people listening also have still got those? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
I saw it on Facebook Marketplace and place algorithm is
insane and recently I got I got thinking about twenty
five dollar to get the pair of Boonie and both
of them.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Ye, what's in your pool room? Oh?
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Look, for some reason, a lot of sporting greats put
out tawny Port commemorative ports.
Speaker 1 (33:19):

You couldn't make it up. Five thousand dollars. Since we
hear the story, I'll just give you the money.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
We've got some great ones.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
At the moment, Christine had her worked in a shop,
had the stereo stolen returned by the thief. He sent
it back, paid someone to send it back in a taxi. Kevin,
I can't. I don't even summarize this. It needs to
be told by the great man himself. We got this Friday.
It was something else.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Made of mine.
Speaker 10 (37:10):
His gutters were full of leaves, so he threw a
rope up and over the house, through the pagola and
inside it to his wife's car because she was away,
flowered himself down, tied the rope around his waist, and
was cleaning out the gar Then he felt himself sliding
up the roof. His wife had come home and was
going to go to the shop, drove and dragged him
up over the roof, ripped the pagola down. He landed
on the driveway and tried to get to his feet
(37:32):
to chase it down the drive way.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
The biggest injury he's had was.
Speaker 10 (37:35):
All holes in his bum from the roofscrews as he
was slid up the roof.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So mister Bean couldn't have orchestreets at a comedic moment
like that, Oh we can.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
I kept thinking about that scene. Just incredible.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Jess also hand this amazing story for you. Couldn't make
it up.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I gave birth to my second son in the car
while my husband was driving. As we got to the
end of the street, his head crowned. I said to
USand we're not going to make it. Then, yeah, ten
seconds later his head was out. Another ten seconds later
I just kind of grabbed him put him up onto
my chest.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Incredible scenes. All right.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Now, this story I wasn't going to share on air,
but producer Tina begged me, begged me before today's show
to do the sunglasses and the fish story on air.
Tina listened. Maybe I was wrong. I think the story
needs to be aired. It's one for the pull room.
(38:33):
Peter Christiana's fishing with my friend. We came out of
Late mcquarie. My friend called a flathead and when I
was using the land and now I dropped it and
it was floating away. My friend jumped in to retrieve it,
but he had his sunglasses on. He lost them in
the water. We went back to fishing. The next fish
he caught had the sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
His sunglasses on its heads. No, what a story.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Story now, it almost never made it on air with Tina.
I'm sorry, madness, what a.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
Story he's.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I mean? George is a classic movie, but kind of
a pair of son Roy Schneider's. Yes, Sonny's on there.
What a story? You couldn't make it up?
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Christian Christian About forty years ago, I was working on
a construction site. One lunch break ordered calamari and chips.
Already he realized his hang on a minute on the
front page. We then went to the park to eat
my lunch, but couldn't he everything can fed the leftovers
(39:49):
to the seagulls. One particular bird got a piece of calamari,
shook it violently, and the calamari flew into the air
about meter, then came straight back over the seagull's neck,
wearing it like a necklace, and then got chased by
three other seagulls as he was trying to get a
lot of flying away and getting chased.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
Go ahead, poor seagull, he's a great But are they
five grand?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
The seagull have.
Speaker 7 (40:18):
To justify that one to the company.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Now this is this is this is some story christ
And my sister was having her two yearly mammograms. She
was in the room with the lady little scan and
had her breast was in the machine and when they
squeeze your boob tightly while she was getting the scan,
the lady operating this tripped on her fell and broke
her ankle a compound fracture.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
So my sister has a boob trapped.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
In the machine and the lady can't reach the button
to release her as she's rolling around the floor in pain,
and my sister couldn't get out to help. They were
both screaming for help until eventually a little man came
in to save the day, help the lady on the
floor and also really release my sister's boob.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Now that's that's a contender, all right.
Speaker 2 (41:09):

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Rod sayers, it's got a story for us for you
couldn't make it up, Christian. Here we goes boarding a
flight from Johanna's Burning to London in the nineties. While
sitting in the plane at the boarding gate, announcement comes
over the PA system. If missus Kay is on board,
would she please make herself known to a flight attendant.
A few minutes past repeat announcement, if missus Kay is
on board, please make yourself known to the flight attendant.
(41:49):
A few more minutes, another announcement about missus Kay. I'm
gonna have to wait on board where we have a
buggege luggage all unloaded. Thank your patience. After a ten
minute delay, announcement was that we are cleared for departure.
Five minutes after leveling up in the icy he smoked
like loads of it coming out of an overhead locker
and immediately think of missus Kay, So call the nearest
(42:11):
flight attendant. I believe it's to the fact that she
must have skipped keeping calm in the face of possible
disaster one on one she screamed shit.
Speaker 7 (42:19):
He stayed calm.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
She screamed shit.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I thought, well, it's been a good life so far.
I kissed my wife goodbye, closed my eyes and laid
back and thought of never making it to Britain. Fortunately,
flight attendant regained. A composer called for the on bold
engineer who looked at the locker and said, oh so mate, it's.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
This con.
Speaker 7 (42:38):
Question.
Speaker 2 (42:38):

up there with the klamari. Put it in the poor uom.

I'm good Rob, welcome to the show. Thank you, and
what's your story for us?
Speaker 1 (43:01):
She couldn't make it up.
Speaker 12 (43:02):
Ah. I was back in the late sixties. I was
a young kid and living up at Orange and one
morning that the dog was at the front window. Oh, Bart,
and it's head off. And we went and had a
look and there's three elephants drinking out of the front
front tap. So my mum rang the police and they said,
oh yeah, okay, what's police arrest? And eventually they get
(43:25):
there and by that time the people from the circus,
they'd run away from the circus. They come and got
the elephants because they never came and paid the excess
water bill.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Others a lot in those trucks. Rob, great story. Thank
you very much for sharing me. Noes Marika, good morning.
Speaker 13 (43:48):
Oh him, my name's Marika. How are you.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I'm good and very good. Welcome to the show. What
is your story for? You couldn't make it up?
Speaker 13 (43:56):
Well, I'm only sharing it because I have a chance
to win some money, because it's really bad. Once I
was backpacking in my teenage and I was in Europe
and visited Moscow with my cousins and one of them
to just said, they let's go to this underground color
you know club. So we went to this underground club
(44:17):
which is supposed to be really cool and hip, and
when we walked in, there was all these televisions like
around the club of like semiclad and underwear wearing men
and women, and I thought, okay, that's a bit weird,
that's a bit Russian. Yeah, So a little while later
(44:37):
I went to the bathroom and when I was sitting
in the store, I was looking and I noticed that
there's two flushes. There was one flush that just said
normal flush, and there was the other flush that said
extreme flush. And I was like, what's extreme flush? I'm
going to have to press this and I pressed it
and nothing happened, and so I was like, Okay, that's weird.
(45:00):
And I went downstairs and the whole entire bar was
looking at me, and I was like, what I must
be loo really good tonight. And then I looked up
and there was me on the toilets. On every screen
in the entire bar, you could see everything.
Speaker 7 (45:21):
So bad is an extreme flash?
Speaker 1 (45:24):
My lord? Extreme flash?
Speaker 2 (45:27):
That's maybe misread it, you know mostco lettering, I don't know,
Russian critic, classic Russian rush.
Speaker 13 (45:34):
What well, yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Wow, you wouldn't make that up. You shouldn't. What a
crazy story, Marik, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Looking a few incredible stories. You couldn't make it up?
What do we think of this one? It's only a
couple of lines. It's just the casualness of this, like
it's oh yeah, that's yes, happened a lot. Here this
one Christian. My mum fell out of a window on
a Here. She fell out of a window. The second
floor window in her house was on a hill. Our
(46:12):
uncle happened to be walking below and caught her.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Come on, no he's not.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
No, no, no, no, no, tell you why five k
five thousand reasons to lie never happened. Oh what are
the odds, old uncle biddy Marie in my arms? No, sir, no, no, no. However,
I have true crime story of the decade, Christian. Last
(46:45):
week I caught the training Whilst waiting for the train
to come, I noticed a man sitting on the platform
with a bag of fish and chips. He wasn't really
eating them, He's just sort of letting them air. It
started to tract seagulls, as you can imagine, it began
to circle him on the platform. Instead of shimming the
birds away, the man offered them a few chips he
(47:05):
tossed one foot away, just s from him. He was
beckoning them to him to come close. He kept doing this,
eking the chips out slowly intil there's a big group
of seagulls in front of them. I'm talking fifteen or
twenty A tiny army of seagulls. He'd throw them a
chip every now and then, just enough to keep them interested,
but not enough to satiate them. It was frustrating. They
(47:26):
were getting angry, attacking each other, squawking. It was like
he was rearing them up for something. Then the train come,
everyone got on. The man stayed on the ground with
the chips. The train was about to leave, and then
it happened Christian. Right before the doors closed, the man
threw the entire bag of chips into the train. The
(47:49):
entire flock of seagulls followed the bag. The doors closed
inside the train pandemonium.
Speaker 7 (47:56):
That is diabolical.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
True crime story of the dead out.
Speaker 7 (48:01):
That is literally like the Junker.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Oh, you'd be so angry screaming can be screaming?
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Can it?
Speaker 2 (48:10):
We're all there, aren't We can imagine the scenes. Keep
you mind your own business. And suddenly some terrorist trucks
a bag of chips, Chucks piffs, a bag of chips
in there follow us swarm of angry seagulls now flapping
their enormous wings.
Speaker 7 (48:25):
It's like Steve Iwin's evil twin.
