Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, Patsy. How was your
day yesterday? Mate? What did you get up to?

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Guess what?

Speaker 5 (00:38):
I had a brush with a you feel royalty kind
of of sorts. On my way home from the studio yesterday,
I was stopped at the traffic lights and who should
walk across the crossing but Blues legend Stephen Kernahan.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Oo, wow, hello and behold you should.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Have seen, I mean, the way you're building this up.
It was this Jesus himself.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
It looked like it. It looked like it. That mullet,
that moulay.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't think all the images I've seen of our
Lord's Savior where he's wearing mullet.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
Jesus has a mullet.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I didn't know there were various countries Jesus, they've got
their own local one of they. There's a local.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
Jesus churches, Jesus with the mullet, and.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Then they got it wrong in the UK. As a
boy raised Catholic, why didn't we have a short back
in side looking on really like a bass player from Nickelback.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Well it's a bit salt and peppery now, but it's
still there, and it was blowing.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Into the saw walking across water yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
No, he's walking across swan strae.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yarraw on there.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Gosh, he's a tall guy, big long him or just
someone definitely him?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
How could you sell?

Speaker 5 (01:48):
It's definitely He's unmistakable. It's Stephen Kernahan.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, sometimes you think you see someone famous, like
I was talking about this the other day. However, the
weekend we were moving our twenty one year old daughter
Ruby into a new rental and as I was unloading
stuff from the car, I looked up and I was like,
oh my god, that's Austin Butler and carry round round
the back of some flats in Fitzroy, right, And I

(02:13):
swear to God for four seconds, I was like, bloody hell.
I was walking back into my daughter's new place to says,
Butler's at the back of those flats. Ship by the
car park. What a humble guy. He's up there on
the second floor trying to find his keys to get in,
and so I was like, wait that A'm going to

(02:34):
be Austin. But yeah, everyone in Anna looks like trying
to look like every third dude. There's an Austin Butler
looker like the white banky white T shirt, jeez, and
that blonde hair of But for a couple of seconds,
I was so excited, like I have got something amazed,
It's going to blow everyone's mind. Austin Butler lives just

(02:54):
across the courtyard.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
That would have blown my mind. If you came in
on my day with that, I.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Would just keep it on the loafire. But he's moved
to Fitzroy. He's on the second floor of some humble
flats and he's got too many keys. It was a
form of too many keys. Now someone don't know he
was moving in somewhere. But it's the Butler, isn't it?
One hundred percent? My question, how do you know it's
definitely going.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
To hand because it was it.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Was tired, You've had a morning busting news and heads.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Definitely Stephen Kernahan and that mullet was blowing in the breeze.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I reckon it took in three steps to get from
one side of the street to the other. So tall.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I'm surprised we have you haven't elevated. Whenever you see
a middle aged, good looking guide to that treaded word spunk,
Oh he's a spunk. I knew it was. I mean
it was just out of you. It was clutching it
this and keep it on low fire. But Austin Butler
has moved to Fitzroy. Do not tear tmz our respects
his rights to privacy, but he's on the second floor
overlooking some flats.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's amazing how all cities, and I'm speaking about London
no different too here in Melbourne, the North. It's as
a certain five to north areas of cities as to
the South. Sad with East and West. It's amazing how
universal this is North London. I would never have lived
in North London, lived in South London for thirty odd years,

(04:16):
even if I was making a new friend. And where
you live in London and I'm in North London, I
meant to go. I'm never hanging out with you up there.
We're meet in the middle, and he wouldn't come south.
We'd have to meet in central London, right and East
London very different to West London. The same here in Melbourne.
I don't live in North Melbourne. I'm too old and
they don't want me there. I don't fit in. It's

(04:36):
not my people as South Melbourne and my tribe. Would
you say you're South Melbourne, but you should be norm.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
We're right in the sort of neutral territory.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
What do you I'd call that No Man's Lands?

Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yes, we are in no Man's what's it.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Called summuri is? Call them ronan where they have no master.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
I've in Richmond where everything is just pilate studios or like.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Bridal fashion, like checkpoint Charlie. There's a blend of north
and south. Literally, Yes, it's like the perfect position on
the shower between hot and cold. It's neither very hot
nor very cold. Yes, yeah, we're drifters. Yes should then
you're an independent states.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
We've been spending a lot of time north side. They're
looking at houses.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Because we can't afford you look at how you might
greeting north. Yes, you have to it, only it's your
home of of the hipsters, it is and everyone. You're
a Southie as well, then, aren't you, Alex, YESU.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
South of the city love that not far from the beach.
Should have nestled in between the city and the beach,
which is quite nice.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
And the west again very well.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
We've got the real people, I.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Know, that's true, real gritty, you know, salty. Yeah, walk
in the land, yeah, you covered in mud.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
We're most of the people were the rough.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Hands, rough dialects of the people for the people. But
that's yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's those good folk out
there over that big as bridge. And I like to
think that the river that separates parts as people us,
it's a moat and that has to sleep sleep at night.
That we needed to we could raise. Can they raise
the west gate? Can we fit a hinge? I know

(06:11):
they're doing workment a hinge, so if necessary, we can
just raise drawbridge so we.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Can keep the filth out from your side.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Absolutely, absolutely, that's the way. Yeah, that's keep that film
out from there in the big city, the big snow there.
But is Sydney the same north? Definitely North, completely different
to South.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
If you live in the east of Sydney, you are
never ever going west, and if you live in the South,
you are never ever going.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
What's the characters about north North Sydney then, is that?
What's that is that younger hipster's wealthy.

Speaker 8 (06:43):
It's very wealthy north of the Bridge, you know, the
northern suburbs.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
The north Shore Mossman as well, very very yeah, very hip,
not hip.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
Sorry, they're not hip, very rich moss like two.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Rack exactly right. It is amazing how the compass points
right northwest, east, South. They already do have their own
individual sort of vibe. That's completely affair. And the inner
west is which which is where we came from.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
That's that's kind of like your northern suburbs in Melbourne,
very hip, younger, sort of demographic, a lot of arts,
that sort of stuff. And then South is kind of weird,
isn't it? Real South kind of Scott Morrison territory. Wow,
sort of painted piece from Cranulla.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
If you think of southern Sydney, think of Scott Morrison
and you've got a pretty.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
Sky color shark surfy and East is another world that's
just like the most beautiful, amazing place in the world.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
But the worst people in the worst people. Yeah, oh,
this is amazing. I felt like, in two minutes you've
stereotyped inside city. But I'm now good enough like a spy.
I've got some good briefing those. When I was in
North Melbourne last week and we were allowed to sort
of do the final inspection of Ruby's place, and I
was near this coffee shop right in North Melbourne and

(07:56):
it was full of just twenty and thirty somethings, all
acting on the laptops as if they were on a
manuscript for the next great novel. Who's going to shot
the world? Why do you all have to do it here?
You know he got the headphones on, you know, dot
it don't here. But I'm not. I'm in my world,
really my interior monologue. Just get into my character's motivation

(08:17):
right now. And I ordered the coffee and there were
lots of other people younger than me who were inside
waiting for the coffee as well. The lady said, it's
what you can wait outside, we can bring yours to you.
And they're all here. The only thing separating us is
about two decades. Just what my old tired ass in
here fugging up bringing up the average age.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yesterday, I was in a cafe and was Chattley guy
serving me and we ended up talking like you doing
Melbourne about footy and the and the final eight. And
he had an amazing useless piece of information that he said,
liss a bit useless this, but I only just realized
the other day he does it. Turns up this guy
does a footy blog. And he said, so he's used
to sort of writing out all the team's names and

(09:04):
making notes. He said that the top eight this year
are from the top ten clubs in alphabetical order. So
you think about that. You've got Adelaide, Brisbane, Colinwood obviously
got Fremantle Dockers, you got Geelong, You've got Gold Clothes,
you got the Giants, she got the Hawks. As I
was way with my drink, I started write out what

(09:25):
he was talking about. I was like, that is not useless. Actually,
I don't know why, but it pleased me to know.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
Yes, yes, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
What it is. When things are in an order, we
for relaxed, even like in that ordering of the clubs.
I'm now going to think of it very differently that
the top eight teams are from the top ten clubs
when listed alphabetically. You can't unknow that now as well,
you will bore someone with us today. I passed it
on Patsy at six o'clock. Rio and I were getting

(09:54):
ready for the show and we heard your news about
the guy in Coburg who So have I got this right?
Eight months ago he had the winning ticket and I
had won a million dollars but just didn't know.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, this is.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Such a fascinating story.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
So this guy is preparing or was preparing to go
overseas on a trip, had lost his passport. Coburg guy,
we don't know his age, went down to his storage
unit where he had all his papers. Ruffling through trying
to find this passport, AH came across a heap of
lotto tickets that he hadn't checked. So this lotto draw
was on December excuse me, December twenty seven last year.

(10:31):
I hadn't checked it eight months ago and thought I
better get that checked well, lu and behold one of
them was a winning lotto ticket one million dollars. He
has won months down the track. He bought it from
Coburg hub Lotto and Delhi.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
He's a million dollars in.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
There today right to get tickets because there's always a
boom in sales. They think they must have some lucky
shusue there and get some delimeats. Yes, yes, yes, yeah,
come for the ticket, but stay for the Hams and
the Brocks.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
You get bet.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
They will have the sign writer.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Shout out to more to doner it is a beautiful olive.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Yeah, peer, they will have that local sign rider down
there because you know the local don't they winning lotto tickets?
But he's going to help his mom out with the funds,
maybe do some more travel. We don't know who he is.
We don't know his age, but he's a million that.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
We don't know his age. Second of it not who
this guy is that? But why do you why are
you going to make a move? No, where he's fifty three.
It is age appropriate.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I guess you love god life. Where is he in
his life, at the stage of life studying? What's he doing?
I want to know more about it?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I want to know. Right, So he won this money
in December phaps, he'll eight months ago. Yeah, it's been
a cruing interest in an account because they haven't paid out.
He get the interest.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Well, doesn't accrue interest us.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, someone's got someone somewhere. Yeah, hopefully that mumbley from Coburg.
You don't know his age or where he is in
his circle of life. Also, who gives their passport in
a lock up facility.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
He's going to need a lot of that million dollars
to actually buy a new.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Expensive Yessson traveling. And it's I'm gonna have to wait
two months to get a passport. But someone must been
to help me out. Is he entitled to interest? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (12:25):
And no, I think probably not. I think that's the
cost of you being tardy with.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Of not coming forward sooner.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I wonder how many people have done this before, where
they just discover an old ticket because no one buys.
I think this is definitely going to pay off. Yes,
I need to not forget this ticket. This is the
gold ticket one hundred percent note, and they just forget
about it. In weeks or months later they realize, Oh
and I also I love the facts can be a
good show today two mentions of loan and behold perhaps No, no, no,

(12:53):
I know it's like a thermostat. I know we're in,
We're in. We're gonna have a good show today. If
you've had two loan beholds in half an hour, it's
a rocket today.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Even my own kids, one of them said to me,
yesterday really does feel like it was only very recently.
I went, what it was a year ago? Almost? Why
is that an issue?

Speaker 6 (13:16):
It comes every year?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It just comes, someone says that about Christmas. You just
feel that these gifts were just not that long ago.
Actually seems to be just an issue that is mildly inconvenient,
the faff in drama in my house family at the
moment about Father's Day. Suddenly I'm hearing conversations. I mean absolutely,
I'm really good forward to it, but it's just come

(13:37):
at a very bad time for the family. I went,
when is it good time? Are we convenient Sunday for
a lunch? That's all it is. And so I share
my life round my wife and two daughters. They're all students.
My wife is doing an MA, the other two are
doing Greece. They're all students.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
And it's also the same day every year. It's not
like you've just dropped this on them. You can know
what it's been the next ten years.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, exactly. So anyway, this is why we're doing What
a dad wants? Dads, what do you actually want? We
got a thousand dollars a day to treat the dads.

Speaker 6 (14:08):
What dad wants? What a dad meant? Something better than
sucks and hegies. I'm asking you so, Colin, and tell.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Me thousand dollars a day, what do you want for
your dad? Dad? So you can claim what you actually want.
We had a rich yesterday wanted this a simple new
golf club. Wendy left this about her dad.

Speaker 9 (14:33):
Hey, Christian and team, it's Wendy calling Wendy. They would
love to get my husband a wood fired pizza oven
for Father's Day. His family has just sold their home
that they have been living in for nearly forty years,
and part of that home there was a wood five
pizza oven and it was one of my husband's favorite things.
And I know that he is feeling really sad that
he will not get that anymore. And I would love

(14:56):
to be able to get a wood five pizza oven
at home so we can continue making them for a
long time.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Do you know what as a sometimes sad dad, pizza helps?

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Yes, pizza.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You see a sad dad, get him a pizza slice. Yeah,
you know that hot cheese hits his heart and his
pain and suddenly everything is down. With a glass of shress,
it's all good in the world.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
You went through a brief pizza oven face.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
I remember you brought it, actually a portable one into
the studio and just left it for the team.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, a lot of time and effort, a lot of time,
you know, with a pizza oven, they take there's a
lot of fat. The one I had wasn't that lovely
big wide one you get in the restaurant. Obviously this
was more a sort of desktop one. It was a
laptop size pizza rubber. So I'm gonna go faly god,
pizza rubber. They're like great, they go outside to see what. Yeah,

(15:51):
when do you all start making them? Now start rolling
the dough. It must not be so much fun this Friday.
And then you can only get him one at a time.
It takes about half an hour to get one going.
It's just the wood, start the fire. Yeah, it's not
one of those together. Took half an hourly one so
one family member can eat. Oh, and then you've got

(16:11):

comfortable on the surface of the water. Does he want
to me some oxygen tanks? Tretches back and then submerged

them this weekend thanks to calling.

Speaker 11 (22:38):
Thank you. Bye.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Now, have we got any money left? I don't know
how much they've got to be at least five or
six hundred, aren't they do we think steel could get it?
Give us one?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, we can ask them.

Speaker 13 (22:51):
But from looking at I'm hoping he start had the
cheapest one, which is ut.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
No, no, no, no, no. We can't short change. This
is just a This is the I know you have
a cold heart here in Australian radio. That is the
worst thing I've ever heard, not the trimming man, the
big one. Yeah he's not going to me opening it's
a whipper snipe. You said I could can't make a
table and shares with this. The cheapest one they ain't

(23:15):
stealing a cheap.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
Is the most expensive one.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
How about we play the reward and find the people
that did this.

Speaker 13 (23:22):
I can see it's about two thousand, one hundred, So
then no other fathers will get a gift.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Of cold sweat. We're up against shows giving hundreds of
thousands away. We can't even give away chainsaw. All right,
here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna in
all Serce is right because they are they're good chainsaws.
No wonder Jim is upset if that's been stolen a
load of other tools. Right, this is a really this
is a big situation for him. There must be someone
listening with a kind heart. We could give a few

(23:53):
plugs to a business. You will make a jingle for them,
will well, we can get one of these still amazing
chainsaws that Jim actually would be happy to get.

Speaker 13 (24:03):
I would be very happy for that to happen.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Thank you to whoever that is.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Sorry U AI are you say ai with the cold heart?
Hopefully he had one of the cheapest once we're laughing about.
It's a terrifying place. Genuinly, I'm blinking right now three times.
Please send help, honey money. You think we work for

(24:29):
some sort of in the middle of nowhere community radio station.
This is Melbourne's biggest radio station run on a sh

got kids calling up and Alexander called on about twenty
minutes ago, who's eleven, and he wanted this for his dad.

his dad got a whole load of things. Tommy, he's
a carpenter and he got a steal. Chainsaws stolen. They're
worth a lot of money. He's very, very upset. And
and these are just the cold realities of business. The
budget that our boss has given us a Father's Day

(26:24):

for dad, and that is a cold out at one thousand. Now,
surprise the steel company, our world renowned chainsaw makers for
a reason, Okay, And that price is for a really
good one, is over one thousand dollars, which is where
Daniel was listening to all of this. And hen he's
given me a call when I said there's anyone who

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's the middle week, it's Wednesday. How's your week going
so far? Let us know in six word a week?
Text me yours. Use your six words, yse, you please
count them before you send it to me. O four
seven five three one oh four three. Mine is simply
I brought way too much pumpkin. How do you do that?
Oh my word? Oh my word. So I was ordering stuff,

(28:48):
doing a Woodies online milk run delivery. Yesterday's saved time, right,
And I'm making this Greek chicken and I'm doing it
with this roasted pumpkin. So you roast the pumpkin and
then you mix it in once it's roasted, roasted, soft,
not too pulpy. I've done this and you mix in
with this yogurt that you've mixed with garlic, lemon juice

(29:09):
and toasted pinenuts mixed all together. It's really nice. Anyways,
getting ingredients yesterday and I thought the photos on my
phone I didn't have my glasses on were quarters of pumpkins.
So I thought, okay, well I'm going to need going
to need four of those. Maybe they weren't there half,
so two entire pumpkins arrived. It's too much pumpkin. My
wife opened up the free she was like, whoa we

(29:31):
what are you doing for dinner? It's just us Halloween.
I thought that the quarters they're not they're too massive,
great bloody pumpkins. How much pumpkin is too much? Well
we're going to find out. So if I'm ill tomorrow,
it's pumpkin od.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
And pumpkins are so annoying because you have to cut
cutting the skin.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Off, chop up a coconut. Yes, why is that exterior
so rock caut like a tortoise show.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
And really dangerous?

Speaker 15 (29:56):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yes, you have to make some soup.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Make do you know what? That's exactly what my wife said,
And I said, no, I'm not starting to make soup
this this time in my life. Aren't this sup? Years
aren't here? Yeah? When you've given up if I haven't
come in one day going gods, I've just gotten to
making soup. Worry about me. Pull me aside after the show.
Everything all right, A new hobby. Real what's your six

(30:24):
word week so far?

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Mine is?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
I am pretending to be a real adult, aren't all
of us? Oh my goodness, because school never taught us
how to do any of the things that you actually
need to do to sort of navigate through life.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
They really are still letting kids down now like they
let us down. It's true.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
Yes, And then I go into radio, where we don't
really have to be a real adult.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
One of the most adult jobs you can have. Yesterday
I wasted an hour of this show speculate about how
high up in the air we were on the second
floor once more born.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
Than night in life.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
And then this week I have to go out into
the real world and do real world jobs and talk
to people that are actual adults.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
So I had to get my car service.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Oh I'm sorry, yes, and I'll stop you there. There
are no actual adults all the summers we're all children
in an adult suits trying to get through everyone. Yes, yes, we'll.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
Had to talk to the mechanic, the guy that did
my building inspection, and also I've got a dishwasher repairman coming.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Oh I know mean that you're making a real edge
of grown up stuff. Yes, and they all know they
know we don't know what we're talking about.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Yes, And I've got that sort of dilemma.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
It's like, Okay, I should ask him actual questions because
I need to know, you know, I need to know
what timber rot is, or need to know what's wrong
with the car and the axles and stuff.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
But the other part of my brain, that ego is say,
don't let him know you're an idiot.

Speaker 15 (31:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
So I just got oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
know what them yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
It's now it's saying seventy four and as we both know,
it's probably an internet valve flocks. But I wouldn't mind
just getting another set of eyes over it. That's about
all that.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
I get so nervous to mechanic.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I find myself I swear a lot as well. You know,
yeah you know that missus out at the moment.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
Women I dropped my decibels, like my voice. I go,
you'd be down to like oh yeah yeah yeah, oh
yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Sometimes my wife will just seat me around the corner.
And who you pretending to be? I'm playing a character
and developing for a while. I've actually grown up me.
She didn't suit you. Where's that guy?

Speaker 6 (32:31):
So that's been my weeks?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
All right, Patsy, what's it for you?

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Issue with the love God's stirring habits? So I'll be
you know, imagine this it is witching hour. I am exhausted.
It's after seven at no lo and behold lo and
behold for me. That's like one. I am very, very tired,
looking to wrap things up. It's like school bags, lunch
is packed, close out. Okay, is everyone got what they need?
I'm about to go to bed and he has a

(32:56):
milo after seven, which coincides with my bed.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
But sorry easy a man called Otto.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
We have dinner at care home.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Seven sugar in stirring it. I'm jealousy with the Pooh mug.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Actually with his skippy mug from his childhood.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
And if you have it on top of the milk
and stir it in, does everyone's got a different way?

Speaker 5 (33:32):
He does it in the milk proffer Alex So he'll
in the cappuccino makeer.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
So cream it up at night.

Speaker 5 (33:40):
Wow, But it's it's I've got no problem.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Just go your hardest at the Milo whatever.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
We were brought up on it, but it's our hardest
at the mino. That's the you advertising slogan. All these
things that are age now, these tablets and think techniques
to try and get to sleep. It's got to be
pitch black.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
No sugar Pike milk is great to sleep.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
My brother used to skip the milk. You'd get a cup.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
He was the youngest, right, so so I don't really
care about the youngest. And he fill it with Milo,
a whole cup of Milo, and just eat it with
the spoons.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
That's not the powder. Yeah, you just eat the Milo straight.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
We used to have Milo sandwiches after school.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
No no, no, no, two bits of white. This is
why we're all getting tired to diabetes in middle age.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
It's fantastic, but I don't mind.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
He has a Milo, but he has to mix it
until it falls through to China.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Got the whole froth.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
It exists with the spoon at the end, so he
froths and then mixes and mixes and mixes.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Marista of the miler, where's out.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
The bottom of have you got the audio? There is?
And it goes on and it keeps going on.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
It sounds like what prisoners do along the bars. I
mean it's appropriate reference, isn't it. I mean he is
like a prisoner nut sad there, keep it down.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Day out is a bit like that, you know when
I've been out since three But it just why does
he have to mix it?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
No, that's too loud, Alex or your six World week
mak false sense security, Melbourne weather rubbish. You got caught out.
I got caught out.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
We had this lovely kind of pre spring weather. It
was yesterday twenty five degrees or whatever. It was.

Speaker 8 (35:37):
The sun's out so good, and then bang. I think
it was earlier this week, maybe Sunday or Monday.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
It was freezing. It was cold, it was raining.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
That's classic Melbourne fake out.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
It will do that to you.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
It always goes. It happens this time of year. Everyone
goes yeah spring, Oh, I've not done yet.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Earlier this week on the show, we were talking about
what would kids today never know about, and the one
thing that kept coming up was the terror of accidentally
recording over something. And those are the days, obviously of VHS,
where your mum and your dad or family member would
have something you know that really meant something to be
preserved on VHS cassette, and then someone has recorded something else.

(36:25):
And I got this great email yesterday, Christian writing anonymously.
It's a dono and open up old family wounds. In
the eighties, my brother in law was chosen to be
an autar boy on the ABC show Mass for You
at Home Wow. His appearance obviously proudly recorded and preserved
on VHS. Later in the same decade in the eighties,

(36:45):
to everyone's horror, my husband accent recorded ten minutes of
an Iron Man competition all over.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Yes Kai hears, I remember the good Aussie guy. Yes
boys on Saturday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Just when the mass is reaching its crescendo, do masses
reach a crescendo? The screen go and it comes to
Grant Kenny giving it as all. We still had the
video on our shelf. My husband has not been forgiven anonymous.
That is so so funny.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
A show called Mass at Hope? Is that just what
watching church on the page.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Anyone remember well in the UK every Sunday night at
five o'clock there would be a live mass really oh
yeah yeah, and not one of those short Catholic ones.
I mean hardcore open with a good type vibe in Latin. Yeah,
and it would just be she won what different times

(37:42):
the rugby on before that you get all that kind
of shenanigans and violence, and then time for mess now
live from your cathedral with the Archbishop of Canterbury. And
we were expected to sit there and enjoy us if
Sunday night wasn't bleak enough, a live Mass in the organ. Hayley, Christian,

(38:03):
my brother takes over my first birthday accidentally with that
horrible drama Passions.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Of One.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Please went to watch it one day just to find
Timothy and Tabitha on the tape. This is a very
different guy. It's a weird show, yeah, Christian. Back in
the VHS days, we were both working and the school
holidays came round again, so as per usual, we pat
up our kids and dropped them off at their grandparents' house.
This was virtually every summer holiday for me. Mom and

(38:34):
dad obviously working and so you would just be dropped
off at your grandparents place. And my grandparents, I wish,
weren't really pro children. They were just a pro the
rhythm method saying and not heard. Yeah, and so you
expected to you unentertain yourself. Yeah, we're watching more. We've
recorded a load of our favorite maths life masses from

(38:56):
the last scup. Anyway, they were just a couple of
old Italians at the seventies. One day we sent a
video that were given us to my by my brother
in law. The kids at the kitchen table, drawing half
paying attention to the movie on the TV. Nana was
sitting in the recliner chair and joined the movie. As
the Disney like film finished, there was a usual static

(39:17):
on the TV for about ten seconds. I'll provide the static,
and then the tape launched into a full blown adult movie,
the Canon movie. I got a phone. I got a
phone call at work about two minutes after my wife
went to pick up the kids, and a number of
inquisitions were launched to establish which family member was to

(39:42):
be added to a list of shame.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
That's my worst, not really clutching the rismary base.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
That comes from John in law. I remember bringing around
at mate's house, right, and they this was the eighties
as well, days of vhs, right, and they were quite
sort of pretentious. They had like lots of videos that
you could watch that was an avid movie fan, right,
but they were hot behind wire. They were in these

(40:12):
cases that were like fake leather and cyclopedias to look
better on a bookshelf, and they were like, you know,
terminates and stuff like that inside them. Anyway, we're going through
the nana we've seen this night. Suddenly we opened up
ten on the top shelf. Oh, full blown adult movies.

Speaker 7 (40:28):
Oh dear little of an encyclopedia, and we were like, hey,
why don't we mess with your dad?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
We shuffled them all up. Hilarity did not ensue. He
Larity did not find that very very funny. He Larity
did not ensue. My poor mate, Dave got grounded over
two weeks. But it's worth it doing that stretch, all right,
give us a call. We're looking for your stories. What
got accidentally recorded over thirteen fifty five twenty two.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Christian, I'm fifty six years old, still eating mino straight
from the tin. Easy, They're easy. That is intense, all right,
what got recorded over, Christian, Now, this is from a Stelle.
Hello Stale, thanks for listening to the show. Back in
the eighties, I accidently recorded over an episode of Neighbors

(41:19):
over my mum's copy of Brief Encounter. All mums love
Brief Encounter, her favorite movie. Lincoln taped a footy game
over his own wedding video. How it surely labeled wedding video.
Didn't put anything on that Fergus, My wife had an
episode of Dallas recorded that she'd had kept for almost

(41:39):
forty years. I actually recorded over it. This was incredible
as well. Christian. Back in the nineties we had a
VHS tap which was our son's ultrasound image on there.
He recorded accidentally a changed one movie over the top.
I still haven't let it go thirty years on Mandy,

(42:01):
She'm on the show. Let's do stories. You still haven't
let it go? I want the first person account. What
can't you still let go? Like this? I get it now.
We actually have some live audio here of an actual
accidental recording over from nineteen ninety seven. Now, nineteen ninety
seven such a big news story all around the world.

(42:23):
It was the year that Princess Danat lost her life.
This is a videotape that a mum had obviously been filming.
The news and all the Wall to Walk coverage after
her death, all the speculation about what would happen to Charles?
Would he now be freed to be with Cammilla? So
that's a news story. Then cuts to Dermitt Brereton giving

(42:43):
his latest on the big breaking AFL story of nineteen
ninety seven, Justin Charles, the first AFL player to ever
test positive for steroids. You've got sixteen week suspension. This
was a huge, huge story.

Speaker 14 (42:56):
Have a listened to the Royal family will go on
this speculation that now Charles would be free to marry
Caan Miller.

Speaker 16 (43:03):
What would you think cut to do what they had
on a post and hang up and court it and
all those things and left out to go.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
But I mean, in a real human.

Speaker 16 (43:12):
Nature aspect, this is a human face that this person
really can be savaged by the media all part.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
It's enough for the Dinosta. Let's go to Dermy Brereton
right now and the latest on the Justin Charles saga.
Oh I love this. It's so good to hear a
live one that static noise.

Speaker 14 (43:29):
The Royal family will go on this speculation that, now how.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Flat balling wire you newsreaders here about that time, so
said before Patsy was on the.

Speaker 14 (43:37):
Scene, the royal family will go on this speculation that
now Charles would be freed Tomerykan Miller.

Speaker 16 (43:45):
Put down on a post and hung up and quartered
and all those things and left out to drive human
nature aspect, this is a human face that this person
really can be savaged by the media.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
All part of it there from Dermot Broton. It's a
human face at the end of the day, a human face.
All right, Kate's on the line, Kay, welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (44:10):
Hello, good morning, all right, Kate.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
What got recorded over?

Speaker 17 (44:14):
So we were big fans of it To Knockout back in.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
The eighties, to love that TV show.

Speaker 17 (44:19):
Oh, it was so good, and my brother accidentally taped
over the top of it Kinan the Barbarian.

Speaker 18 (44:26):
No.

Speaker 17 (44:28):
It was just such a favorite. And my dad was
in Apex and they actually went to the taping of
this one episode and it just completely trashed it when
we put it in and it was just you know
that to knock Out.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
It's a knockout. It was such a massive TV show
growing up. It was so big and so powerful. The
Royal Family went on a special Royal Family episode. It
was like an assault course, but you were in giant
sort of mascot costumes to navigate the queen. It was
Princess Anne and it's insane. Can you imagine that someone

(45:04):
of that happening now? Some pr flunky going lessen? Then
let's trying to soften up the imm go on a
game show.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
One here it is, Oh, but someone's taped?

Speaker 19 (45:14):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (45:15):
The latest on the Justin Charles saga? Kind of the
Barbarians A great film. It is a good come but
you go from oh my god, I love this show too.
It's a big gear change as it is, going from
the aftermath of Princess Danner's death to German Brereton. Great story, Kate,
Thank you very much for sharing. Thanks you on the show.

Speaker 17 (45:36):
Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Thank you, Melissa.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
My stepdad taped over a video of myself when I
was about twelve years old. I was on the Early
Bird show fort Star of the Day. So we did
a little skit on the show that friends and I
made and we were so proud of it, and then
I went to watch it and he taped over it
with a game of the Sydney Swans.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
No, no, no, that's awful. Yeah, God, that's awful. Would
you love to see that now? I would.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
A friend of mine ex that I didn't with, actually
still has it and she said, we'll just go find
a video player and try and get together and watch
it one night. But we haven't watched it in forty years.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
But Melissa, no, you can take it to companies now.
I did this years ago with our old wedding video
from nineteen ninety eight that my wife's uncle filmed with me.
You know, a may our big video camp is usually massive,
size of a door. A family member always film videos
before this was a professional person's job. We'll get a
family member to do it, and so you can convert

(46:39):
them to DVDs and now thumb drives. So you've got
to get that preserved to be amazing to see that.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I agree, But I also don't know as to be
worth the money to watch this fight.

Speaker 1 (46:49):

Morning Canty. So what got recorded over?

Speaker 18 (47:11):
Yeah, so my mother's wedding, another wedding disaster. My brother,
I'm going to dob him in. He taped over my
mum's only copy and you know the JVC big you
know video recorders that look like doors. It was her
one and only copy, and Astro Boy was taped over

(47:33):
board and going, I'm sure this will stop soon. And
we were sitting all around the sitting around the lounge room,
and mum was so proud of his punch. She'd already
seen it, but these other guests hadn't. And yeah, she
was waterfied.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Was here comes to briand or a minute?

Speaker 17 (48:00):
It was?

Speaker 12 (48:01):
It was funny.

Speaker 18 (48:02):
I mean we were all sort of what you held
it in. But yeah, it's a good memory to look
back on and have a bit of all.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
It's always funny when you see your mum destroyed. No
stories stand the test of times. Yep, yep. Time plus
tragedy equals radio comedy. Kelly, great story, Thanks for sharing.

Speaker 18 (48:25):
Have a good day, Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Thanks Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
All right, moving on to what we do every Wednesday,
what are the odds? Thank you very much. People still
sending messages about what got recorded over very funny text
here from Glenn Webber. So you've just tuned in. We
were talking about the glory days of the eighties and
the nineties and vhs, but when you recorded something and
then the horror of somebody recording over it, Someone's mum,

(48:53):
Reese's mum had been recording. In nineteen ninety seven, a
lot of the news coverage after Princess Diana lost her life,
and obviously the speculating about what now for Prince Charles
wild he be freed up to be with Camilla over
that news ridge of a you know, a real moment
in time was then it is cut to Dermott Breton
given his langest about the other big news story of

(49:15):
nineteen ninety seven, justin Charles the first footy player AFL
player to test positive for steroids.

Speaker 14 (49:21):
The royal family will go on this speculation that now
Charles would be freed to American miller. What would you think.

Speaker 16 (49:29):
Put out on a post and hung up and quartered
and all those things and left out to drive but
I mean in a real human nature aspect. This is
a human face, that this person really can be savaged
by the media, all parts of.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
It, Christian, Are we sure Dermot Breton wasn't giving his
opinion about Prince Charles, not just in Charles. Now you
hear it in a very different way, the human face
Prince Charles to be freed up to be with his
side hustle.

Speaker 14 (49:55):
The royal family will go on this speculation that now
Charles would be freed to Maerican Miller. What would you think.

Speaker 16 (50:03):
Put out on a post and hung up and quartered
and all those things.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
And left and dry.

Speaker 16 (50:07):
But I mean, real human nature aspect, this is a
human face, that this person really can be savaged by
the media.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
All part of it, Christian. I take to an episode
of Monkey Magic. Now that's a TV show, So love
Monkey Magic over the top of a recording of my
dad's footy team, Nor would their grand Final win in
nineteen eighty four in the SA NFL. He used to
watch it regularly until one day he couldn't and an
episode of Monkey Magic was on the top of it.

(50:37):
He still brings it up many decades later, Sharpie, rightly,
so all right, coming up next? What are the arts?

Speaker 20 (50:43):
Believe it or not?

Speaker 6 (50:45):
What are the odds?

Speaker 19 (50:47):
You gotta be justhing me.

Speaker 7 (50:51):
Like we were you with Cheryl who married a hun who
works weird?

Speaker 6 (50:57):
The Cheryl who married a hun?

Speaker 1 (51:01):
As what are the arts? Every Wednesday? Will it feel?
Stories of coincidence and chance? Have you got one todayeteen
fifty five twenty two.

Speaker 18 (51:10):
My sisters had two daughters.

Speaker 17 (51:12):
One of the daughters was born on my nana's birthday
and the other one was born on the day she died.

Speaker 21 (51:20):
Ten years ago. I decided to take my little child
to the Grampians who were spicing around at the little
Pool's area, and my son lost his dummy. Last weekend,
we actually went back to the same falls with another
son of Mourne and arm Behold. I happened to find
my son's dummy moved to Australia from New Zealand and
I had to get a.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Criminal check for work, and it turns.

Speaker 12 (51:39):
Out there's a go in Australia with his row name
and birthday as me.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah, I mate, yeah, dodgy kiweeds. I line's over now.
Thirteen fifty five twenty two. What are the ADTs if
you've got a story, great one about coincidence and chance.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Start getting messages. Well, God accidentally taped over Christian. I
accidentally tained over my auntie and uncle's wedding. I take
the Netble World Cup Big Game Australian New Zealand right
as my auntie was walking down the aisle. I got
in a lot of trouble. Last year we had a
family reunion. My mum got all the old vhs converted
e ev D and they played the wedding, and then

(52:17):
of course the network game popped up. I didn't realize
my parents had never got around to tell him. My
auntie back in the day. Oh spoiler a lot. Well,
my mom would take the Flying Doctors every week, and
I taked over the best of that she had with
her new kids on the block concert special. Shearida some Sheryl.

(52:39):
My mum's friend was on The Price is Right back
in the nineties. My mum wants to record a friend,
so we quickly hit record. The only take wee could
grant at the time, we didn't realize was of my
dad's wake.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
I mean, what's happening much of the.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Trust me the vibes riding the night. Let's come on,
let's remember the wake. Shut out for the wake. Come on.
I think this one is a doozy. I do hear
this a lot, and the ones are sell titled doozies.
The doozy ability is low, but hey, this may be
the one that's a rare exception. Christian. This has multiple

(53:21):
What are the odds? One? There's three one. My niece's
name is Jackie. She met and married a man named
James Brown. Jackie Brown and James Brown at the same
time too, at the same time, I work with a
woman called Jackie Brown. What are the odds? And number three?
So at the moment back in two from two, this

(53:43):
is good number three. All the people in these scenarios
are teachers. Again, Christian for the third time, thrice odds. Huge,
well done. That actually is a doozy Hall of Famer.
Now in a move, I mayraget the Chuckle Sisters, which

(54:03):
are the producers? Tina with two e's, you go for them,
and said Caitlin, who are like a modern version of
Stanton Waldorf. They sit together, their brain sync up together.
There's a lot of It's like two nonas. Yes, yeah,
forty years away from Nona Age. All right, chuckle sisters,

(54:24):
you've got one that happened. One of the odds that
happened during the show Monday.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
This was crazy.

Speaker 13 (54:29):
I was yesterday, was it?

Speaker 14 (54:30):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (54:30):
The one? The other one. I get warning signals, this
is crazy. It's the poor man's doozy in.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
At real time.

Speaker 13 (54:39):
So on the show, Patsy was talking about how she
would find apple stickers under the bench at home, and
we were thinking, like, who would do that? That is
no good, crazy Patsy's daughter. So then Tina was like,
I was telling her, you're not.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Going to speak in this break. You would say you
said it was you and Tina, someone's hogging the mic.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
Well, how are we supposed to both tell the story?

Speaker 6 (54:59):
We were like each okay.

Speaker 13 (55:01):
So then I said, I said to Tina, hey, imagine
because she also said that there were bookers, And I
was like, imagine if they're bug is under there.

Speaker 15 (55:09):
Because.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Yeah, we haven't heard a word yet from Tina to eat.

Speaker 13 (55:18):
Tina will gag at the soundal site or hearing.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
You her interpreter. What we got here a ventriloquis act.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
I imagine if there were boogers under the table. And
then Tina said.

Speaker 9 (55:30):
I better go check that there are no boogers on
the table, because that's disgusting.

Speaker 13 (55:34):
Then Cale then Tina got off her chair and she
went and looked under the table, and then she goes,
oh my god.

Speaker 6 (55:42):
You're not gonna believe it.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
There's an apple sticker underneath the table. No, I said,
not a chair.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
So I got on the floor and I looked under there.
What are the odds?

Speaker 13 (55:52):
There was an apple sticker under our desk.

Speaker 19 (55:55):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
We took the scenic roots. We went to see the apostles.
We stopped for lunching lawn, but it was not worth it.
What are the chuckles? One of the odds that the
Chuckle sisters were? They ever tell us the story of
what you tell him? I tell him? I have Okay,

(56:20):
I go to you in a minute, in two weeks. Yeah,
we have a laugh.

Speaker 19 (56:27):
Here.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
I need a drink of water. All right? Where are we?
We sat on air? What are the odds? To tell
you what? That was so amazing? I'm going to take
a break. And I think the listeners need to actually
because sometimes when we blow their minds like that, you know,
they just needs to put their brain matter, squish it
all back together right now. You might need a car

(56:48):
on the tram. You got brain matter all over the
windows because it's actually your head blowing wide open. We've
got to put it all together a case. So you
put yourselves together like humpty dumpty. And then we come
back and we're trying and reboot the show. Actually, she said,
bloody crazy teens.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
We are okay after that last break. Actually just went
for a walk around the building to re energize myself
and just to have a word myself private pep talk.
It's all going to be all right. You can. You
can get the show back on track after the damage
that the chuckles sisters. No, no, no, no, no, there's
no more to that story. What are the odds? What

(57:32):
are the odds? Christian? I used to do real estates.
I've got what are the odds? I just started out
and needed a half decent car. I had the trading
post out on my desk and a couple walked in,
sat down. We started talking and I said, I'm looking
for a car. I'm looking for a Subaru Forester. The
husband then said, I import all of the suber Woos
for Australia. Three days later, I'm ahead of to their

(57:54):
depot to pick up a new car. Love those armrests, Paul,
what Yeah, this is what happens when a lever is set.

Speaker 6 (58:03):
Did he not finish the email?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
No? No, no, that is full stop.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
Where's the coeencident?

Speaker 1 (58:07):
From there?

Speaker 6 (58:09):
That's just a story about buying.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
A cart's one about applestickers under the radio desk. Okay,
but we can't stop putting all these threads, all right,
quickly go to Lawrence Christian. I am Luke Luke Luke.
Thanks for going the show mate, and thanks us all listening.
No worries. What are the odds?

Speaker 20 (58:31):
My grandmother when she was fifteen, about eighty years ago,
she came over.

Speaker 22 (58:37):
From Cyprus with no family, no parents, nothing, just by
herself and she was here for about twenty odd years
and was going to church one day and saw this
woman and she's like, I don't know, like there's there's
some connection there, and then went up to her and
started talking to her. Turned out it was her half
sister that she didn't even know existed, who had also
done the same thing and just come over to Australia

(58:59):
with no family, no nothing, and then they connected and
Banda was family in Australia.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Oh my god, this is an incredible story.

Speaker 7 (59:07):
So they never met. She just sort of looked familiar
because of the jeans.

Speaker 20 (59:12):
Yeah, well there it was her half sister. So she
hadn't even didn't even know she existed when she had
come over.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
It's a beautiful story.

Speaker 11 (59:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (59:19):
And so I was like, I have a connection here,
like I know this woman somehow, maybe she's my sister.
And then goes over and goes like, well, who are you?
It turns out they were they were half sisters.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
Oh my wow.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
And also what an what an incredibly thing to do
at fifteen, just to come to a country so far away,
to a big country when you're that young.

Speaker 20 (59:40):
Yeah, yeah, there was the times. I guess I couldn't
imagine doing that.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Now, different times all the time people just sent off
to Australia.

Speaker 20 (59:50):
Three months boat ride too.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Yes, wow, Luke, great story. Thank you very much for
sharing it with.

tour out of Keynes under the reef and there was

(01:00:26):
a woman on this boat that like reminded me of you.

my twin sister. I hadn't I hadn't seen it for
like three years.
