Speaker 4 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good Morning, Producer Rio, Good morning, Alex Culing, Good morning,
Good morning, Patsy.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Hello boys.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
How's your day yesterday?

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Pats Oh not so good.

Speaker 6 (00:35):
I you know, I was talking on here the other
day about how magnificent my chili coon can was. Oh yeah, Anyway,
I thought, I'm going to make it again because a family,
you know, there's so much reward when you slave away
in the kitchen all day and they actually enjoy.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
What you cook. It gives me all the good feels,
so I thought.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
And also, do you know what, Patsy, you know what
it's like. You're busy. You got you and your husband,
and you got a kid, you got a teenager. You
only need you just need to recycle your greatest hits,
don't you, Because it's one of the most boring things
about being grown up. It's a consot light. Oh my god,
what are we going to do for dinner tonight? You know,
it's constant, So you just need either can you just
need three to five dishes that run it like Nova

(01:16):
run a radio station. They've only got less of them,
and they've only got one great hit CD. They just
keep playing it every two hours. I was this one again.
They really like it chearing. Do your home meals like that?
If you've got a family.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Well, I'm a bit of a one trick pony. So
mine is chili con cahn. So I thought I'll make
it yesterday, and I do it in the slow cooker.
It goes across six seven hours. It's magnificent, So.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
You're not really slaving in the kitchen. The slow cooker
as well. Yeah, said I love that slow cooker, right,
become a recent convert to it.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You chuck it all and then you yay, you fix this.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, I'm coming back in it in eight hours, and
this better be bloody nice.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
But it's like it's like when your meals at a spa.
You have to treat it well. You have to every
now and again. Just give it a little massage, give
it a stir.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You do as you stir, you do a little tasted,
dunk some bread in it.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
I speak to it nicely. Sangle once you do.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
It, rub my slow cooker like it' said, work.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Your magic doing well anyway, So I thought I'd get
really clever.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
And that's where I went wrong.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yesterday, so as I was making the tomato mix, so
you put you put the mince in the big pot
of the slow cooker, and then you put this, you know,
you put all your herbs and spices, yaddia with your
kidney beans and stuff. And I thought, oh, put it
into the magic bullet and really mix it well, blend
it blended up yeah, pure, Yeah, so it's all nice

(02:37):
and mushy.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Well, I thought, I would.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
You ever had a puret of kidney beans smoothie? It's
just someone in hospital. You can't operate that jaw, or
maybe it's been intubated.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
It's already quiet, sort of melded in a slow cooker
all day.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Maybe food for teenager.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Anyway, you have to add just like three quarters of
a cup of hot water. And that's where I went
wrong because because because it was hot, because.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
The contents were hot in the magic bullet after they're
done their mixing and stuff, I couldn't get the lid
off because it created like this suction from the woof
science experiment could not failed one, so I ran it
under co I ran the container under cold water to
try and cool it.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
It wouldn't work. Of course, I tried a teatowel to
get it off.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It wouldn't work.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I had that time.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
About the crowbie that you've got with all the weapons
of destruction in the cart boot.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Nothing.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
Anyway, I was so desperate, and the Love God wasn't
at home working from home yesterday. So I knew Paul
next door, he's retired, he would be home.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Hey, retired, Paul, you have no job. Therefore you will
work for me in the kitchen.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
And he's always out in his garden and he always
has a chat. So anyway, I went out there and
I said, Paul, can you can you help me?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
I can't get this lid off? And then I noticed
that the baby was like, this is a trap.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Didn't Ted Bundy use this ied bill sitting at bottom
of a pet Goddamn it for me once?

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Perhaps we're spoken about this.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Well, poor Paul, he's got a little bit of arthritis.
Now he's getting.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Shop guy with authoritis, praise this dish of death off.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Anyway, Paul couldn't get it, even if he.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
Did get a patty it's got searing hot water inside.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Like in his eyes.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
You were tired. You don't need those eyes. Paul soon
be dead.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
He couldn't get it off, so I said, oh, I
don't know what to do, and he said, I'm so sorry,
and I said, no, that's all right.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
So I couldn't make the chili chunk.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So what is it is?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
It trapped in there?

Speaker 5 (04:35):
So I just put it in the fridge. So it's
still in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You poor things.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
You have to make another dinner.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Maybe today. Maybe today we will chili Cong Khan. If
the love God can get the lid off.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
It's not U can you get can you bring it in?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
We will try it tomorrow. Maybe a new challenge like
it Scalima. We invite listeners. If you prize the lid
off the Chili Cong Khn, you win a prize. It's
some of the Chili Cong Cohn. You know how worried
about this? The innocent person in this stories put Paul arthritis.
Hope it's all right, shout out.

Just being told to have a great midweek show and
please the shareholders has got me fired up.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Riho.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Now, Rio's just we're thinking about what's happened yesterday, the
nightmare with the chilicken compatsy and the dishes now in
the fridge, unable to get it open to enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Last night.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Rio's got so much of thoughts about the magic bullet
use here.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
Yes, I was just fascinated because I've never heard of
it being whizzed up in a magic But far bit
from me to judge your cooking. So I looked on
the internet to see if there's any chili Konkhan recipes
that call for.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
A traditionally the magic But there's the domain of smoothies. Yes, yes,
and you never had a kidney being smoothie? I mean
annimal like tomto mate. What was some fine father beans
in there?

Speaker 8 (07:29):
I couldn't find any any recipes.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
You get to catch up to min the Google.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
All knowledge ever exists. Mix.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
It's used to mix.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Why can't you just use the magic bullet the meat?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
No?

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Or which part of it are you wising.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
It's the juice.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
So the tomato puree, the tomato.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
I just thought it.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
You know, it does the job of mixing. Why get
out the wooden spoon and a jug.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Maybe something tomorrow we can we can now, Andrews, isn't
all this patsy and so actually get out the fridge.
What you should do is he ti up. Oh, don't
need to constrict it. It's going to tighten.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
How am I going to do that though, because it's
got the mittal, you know, the whirly burli.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I can't put in the microwave because it all.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
Could you put it in the hot water like a
baby's bottle?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yes, gently warm it up.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yes, that's a lot of faffing about.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, at the moment, it's it's spin overnight in the
fridge and you can't get it out. We're going to
drill into it and then suck it out with a
straw like a caprico chili con car I buy that
if there was some kind of meaty, a little proteincher
in the afternoon. You talk about when you around with

(08:47):
measurements and that last week I was meant making a
Nagi recipe of spaghetti bolognaise and she the recipes work
was to have three quarters of a cup of red wine,
and I thought, do you know what?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I put in?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Half a bottle of bread wine. This is so good,
This is so good.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I said, I should just walk.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I did increase nagis miserly three quarters a cup two
half a bottle white.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
To breathalyze myself.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Later the Christian O'Connell show podcast, I.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Had one of those delivering ninjas yesterday.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I was in, I was in, I was in eyes
on the gates, and then I suddenly got that text
message we tried deliver your pastor, but u wel I
was in.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
You didn't ring the doorbell, you drove off.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
You just choked that little note you want me to
come and get it from the depot. Absolute pain in
the backside.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
That one of my friends chased them down once. My
friend Ollie, Oh my god, that's so great because it
happened to apparently like five or six times, and he
chased the guy down.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Have you seen those sort of like high ass vans
they drive around it. Yes, they delivery guys and it's
crammed in there. You hear that door open up, even
if you the back of the house is up running.
Oh my god, they half a second because I think
they're like targeted. Paul goes, they're on like very tight
unperformance bonuses where they have to live.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's like you see that slight.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You hear it slid, that slide door open right, the
music's blaring, or a podcast and then that you've seen
inside the back of that fan. It's I don't know
how they know where everything is. Yes, yes, it's like
at the modern version of a Daily Santa slavesn't they
They dropped off in there? Guy last week who goes
to me who's regularly dropping souff up, not for me,

(10:39):
but for Sarah O'Connell, and he just went to me
another one for Sarah, and then he goes.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
When will it end?

Speaker 5 (10:46):
Ah?

thousand years. All right, let's get into this week's Dead

of this, Oh god, yeah they died of a broken

Speaker 2 (17:19):
My name is Maria and I've been in Europe and
mainly Italy for the past six weeks. Lovely we missed
the show. In the morning, I am in Messina. I
wish you must have been in Sicily and whilst walking
around it cheme across a poster for a concert.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Guess who it is?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Your friend's Richie air Povori. I took a photo of
it and sent it to you straight away. I immediately
saw them and thought of the show. They are still
big in Italy and they were here in May, actually
in Sint Kilda and around Australia.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
So yeah, this belly we goes by. I don't play
this on my spots by list if you're wondering why.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I just happened to be a couple of months ago
in a wine shop and they were playing this song
and no one did hear it was I got out
Shazam held it up and then said the lady is
this a song? And she was like, see they're Italian
the people that own it, And I.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Said, who rischi Epavori?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
She goes to sue people, And I said, this song
is amazing. What this is to me? Instant sugar hit.
It's okay. I've got no idea what they're singing about.
They could hate each other, they could be having a
big old domestic but like the melody gets me, man,
they are as good as Abba. Yes, I'd say, I
reckon rich Ebervori are better than Abba because less histronics.

(18:41):
She might sometimes Sweden. This This feels like it could
be a scene of Mayhem in a Tarantino movie. Yeah,
you know, the kidder comes in. He's got his vengeance. Finally,
he said to free as girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Anyway, thank you very much for that.

left behind less and I you know les, Oh yeah,
lez Let's and I were about fifteen years old at
high school Mordy High, on a school camp about forty
five years ago. The bus not for a toilet break.

(21:24):
We were talking in the loop. When we came out,
the bus had gone. This is how it was years ago.
They never did a head count.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
They didn't care. In fact, they were praying that they'd
lose a few of.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Those horrible nineteen eighties kids.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Phone, you can't read them. They're gone.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
No would it taken it's forty five years to get
back and just been able to email me?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Hence why hold?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I said?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I hope it isn't too late. It's the world still standing.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
We decided to go off track cross country through the bush,
Oh my goodness, with our portable tape recorder a round
my listening to the ban the Eagles. After an hour
of walking down a hill, we came across finally a road,
only to see our bus put farther down.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
We raced down the hill to find everyone just have
a lunch. No one had even noticed we got missing.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is how it was. We weren't there, Christian and
I have an amazing name to share with you. There's
always an open invitation twenty four to seven per Last year,
I wasn't a boring mandatory training course at work.

Speaker 1 (22:25):

Those constant ones.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
We have to do.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
What I've seen in your emails, there's quite a few.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Red angry units.

Speaker 2 (22:35):

OHS one I've got mamby had Walker music, I've got

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Guys, it's Wednesday, it's the middle of the week. Let's
imagine a Wednesday. It's halftime. Are you winning or losing
your week so far? We call it the midweek scores.
Let us know how this week is going. So far
fe you would you say you're winning or losing? Let
me know text me oh four seven five three one
oh four three giant l all over me. Probably smell

(23:46):
of it today as it came into it. Guys, and
I apologize. I have tried to sprits and spray, but
you can't. Sometimes a stench of loser. You know, I
told you we are we're moving home. We're downsizing now.
My wife and I are empty nest to so in
the new downsized place we're moving to at the end
of the year, there's no room for me to have
a even a small desk.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
In an office.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
So I'm reduced to at the moment speaking to companies
that do that. You know, this big business. During COVID,
a lot of people had these like pods studios, yes, and.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
They're called garden studios.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Now a garden studio. However, because the dimensions that I've
now been whittled down to by my wife, I'm not
making such which is two meters by two meters.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Oh no, sorry, that's not any no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
A lot of them are saying anything, do you know what?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I've contracted so many companies to do this, They've all
most of them said, so far, we don't go down
that small because you know why, we don't make cells
for Guantanamo Bay. I'm looking for a garden Ganao Bay cell.
Next year's the biggest year of my career. I'm going
to be running a national radio show from a cell
in the garden two meters by two meters. You know,

(24:50):
I'll be doing meetings and business deals. And they'll be like, wait,
you're in a small shed. You just stuck.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Have you been kidnapped?

Speaker 7 (24:57):
Is this strictly due to the size of the house
or is this because Sarah has.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
You're allotted space.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I never even thought about this. She always she now
worked going to contain me twenty seven years in marriage.
She's cracked it. Now there's simply no room area over there.
Oh no, no, some flowers are going to go. That's
a dog's bed. Now we've allocated. They're whopping two meters
two meters by two meters. I've got to get Oh

(25:23):
I can gaze somehat. Seriously, you will not be at
a house a prisoner in there, but your husband running
a national radio show from a two by two meters sell.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
That violates the Geneva Convention.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Can I hire someone as a lawyer. Have I got
rights or did I sign them away at the marriage?
All to twenty seven years ago? So yeah, absolute losing
at the moment companies ago. Wait did we misread the
emails at that time? But you don't mean two by two?

Speaker 5 (25:56):
I bet you still need counsel approval for it, though.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
I don't think even the council would care about that.
What is this a dog kennel?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
My wife was what it was a It's a sort
of garden potting shed.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
It doesn't even have a window. It doesn't even have
a window. There's a slight sort opening through the door. Yes, yes,
exactly it was a potting shed. And then my wife
even said with that, she was like that roof looks
a little bit high. I fall into it like an
animal when man you be happy, Sarah? So yeah, just

(26:31):
just losing life. It's gonna get weak too hot. Yeah,
I'm to do about air on Alex.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
The challenge me next year isn't going to be befriending Australia.
It's going to be surviving in that cell. That's even
if I find a company that want to be involved
in this death project, No one will take it on, Alex.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
How's your week go? And hopefully you're doing better?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Pretty good, pretty good, started very well. But look, book
weake for.

Speaker 12 (26:58):
Any with young children, book wake is upon us and
that main stress.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Not so much for me, A bit more for Bonnie though.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
She had to source some kimono's kimonos.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
K kimono. Come on, you're a man of the world.
Where they going some shogun?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But I haven't. I don't have the hard to say.
I think it's kimono kimo but they're something kimonos.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
No, that's see, that's the bogan version. It is just
a dressing gown nine only flammable dressing gown kimono.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
That's right. Marketplace has come to the rescue once again.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Oh great, you're getting your kids. Second, and kimonas you know,
some old guys get anybody who's kimonos. They came under
the kimono.

Speaker 12 (27:46):
So they had to get into the car last night,
Body and the girls and drive over to Port Melbourne
and they found one for I think it was thirty
five dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, the real ones are silk, can't they? Yeah? Yes,
and this one apparently just came from Japan.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Was sure yeah, yeah, straight down off the docks.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
At Port Melbourne, straight from Japan.

Speaker 7 (28:07):
I actually do believe that because when I came back
from my Japan trip in twenty eighteen, I thought, you
know what I'll get, you know what I'll wear all
the time, a traditional active Japanese kimono. So I brought
a full proper silk kimona, thinking.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Like a dragon, No it's a dragon scene or is played.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
It was a white one like a classy geisha would wear.
I looked for you, lordie, but obviously never warned. Again,
you just get caught up in that holiday definitely where.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
They go about that exactly.

Speaker 12 (28:42):
And the other one came from docklands, so probably were
just off the boat.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I'm not too sure. But going as well.

Speaker 12 (28:49):
They've got this wonderful little book it's about traditional dress in.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Japan and they love it.

Speaker 12 (28:54):
They read all the time, and they really desperately wanted
to go dressed as these little Japanese girls dressed.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
What they're putting on their feet because they were those
kind of like wooden clo some slides.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Now we haven't got that far.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh okay, ba cat round portmow we getting second andthongs.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
That's this morning's job, they're blowing a plug or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I remember last year we had some great stories about
book week True.

Speaker 14 (29:22):
Together a black crape paper witch costume, which was lovely
until morning racist when it rained and all the dye
ran off.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
In her wisdom, my mom dressed me as a bright
green Winfield Green's partner cigarettes. My cousins in prip and
her dad forgot it was a Drifts update, so he
grabbed a babe bar, put some holes in the side,
stuck it over her head and pulled her arms out
where he put the holes when she went as a
slabber beer.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Those last two the Windfield Green Cigarettes and the VB
slab of Bear the two Hall of Famer calls. If

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wow, Why you're driving out late at night. That the
guys on.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
The ladder changing the money before they do it. The
amounts Christian. Most garden sheds are bigger than your new
home office. They're three my three? Can we just move
on night?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
There's nothing funny about Okay, guys.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
I had to look on Google images for two by
two ships and you can barely you can barely stand
up there.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's too so by the time you fat a tiny
desk in there and a chair you're going to be
that door will open and hit the desk chair. You
know in these photos it holds one bike. It's the
footprint of a king sized bed. We've worked out cells
that people have murdered people are in are bigger than

(31:04):
my next home office.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's the context that I'm living out.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
And yeah, most companies don't trifle with things that small.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Why would they? Why would they? Patsy? How's your week?
Are you winning or losing?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
One?

Speaker 6 (31:15):
Definitely winning. We've had a great week. We've got some
great family news yesterday. So my brother who has been
fighting cancer for the last ten years, he's doing this
amazing trial at Petermack Hospital.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
That one an amazing place.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Oh, they are absolutely phenomenal and it's given him a
new lease of life. And the trial has been so
successful on Carl and the other twelve or thirteen participants
that they're unraveling it to other patients as well, Like,
it's just phenomenal, this treatment. It's out of the US anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
So what is it is it? Is it a new
kind of medication or advanced drug.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Yeah, it's a new chemo drug and it is just phenomenal,
and you know it ebbs and flows. It's like an
emotional roller coaster. And he's been so stoic. He's been
such an inspiration Karl, and we have you know, I
have the same cancer that he still has ten years ago.
But he's fight unfortunately, is continuing on. And and we

(32:10):
did get a heads up a couple of weeks ago
when he you know, he's going there every two three weeks.
He can't do anything, can't barely pass wind without the
team knowing, Like it's very strict.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I'm sure he's not fine, Love Melbourne. It's a beautiful heart, mate.
We didn't need to know about the flash. He's fighting cancer,
doesn't he fight his system on the radio going hey listen,
he can't even shut without a warning signal at Peter
mac it's not Carl again, puff Puff's Carl.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
It's very strict.

Speaker 6 (32:44):
But anyway, his last appointment a couple of weeks ago,
scans didn't look so good and we were told to
sort of kind of prepare ourselves because it may may
not be good.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
When he did the follow up yesterday.

Speaker 6 (32:55):
So you know, when your medical experts tell you that,
you take notice and you think, okay, you know, let's
pick ourselves up again and get ready for what this
next challenge is going to be and how we can
best support him. And you know, you feel like you're
a cat with nine lives and you're getting all these
chances and you think, you know, is this going to
be it? Anyway, Luckily it wasn't. So even the experts

(33:18):
and specialists, his whole team couldn't believe it. He said,
he hadn't even sat down in the professor's office and
he said, well, guess what, it hasn't spread. And so
we were just it was just the most pleasant surprise
because we were.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
You hope for the best, but you prepare for the.

Speaker 6 (33:35):
Worst in those situations. Yeah, so just absolutely on top
of the world. And I'm sure we all had a
really heavy sleep last night, so much so that I
slept through my alarm this morning.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
So I had such a lovely relaxing.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
We'd have understood if you just missed today's show. So
I much love to your brother as well.

Speaker 8 (33:54):
Mate.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Yeah, so really really great day.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
And you know, it's just he's got another chance again.
So it's like he's got that freedom to choose of
I said, you know, you and Cheryl, my sister in law.
I said, you need to do something special this week.
You need to go out for dinner and celebrate it.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
He needs to do in all seriences is go and
treat himself a fart yeah, and.

Speaker 8 (34:15):
Not have to tell anyone.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, you know, enjoy it, not be a problem for
the team that Peter mack a whole specious team on that,
you know, just a celebratory one. Other cars you can buy.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
But he said, you know what, I'm just I'm just
going to do exactly what I do because I've been
given this gift to just have and it is you.
You just enjoy all those regular you see the beauty
in the regular things of life.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Fame my god, you're right, I bet you.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
You know a lot of people listening who are going
through it and family members who are going through it
will relate to that where you know, just hanging a
light of washing out because you can.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
That's what it's about. So yeah, I had a great,
great day yesterday.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
What a beautiful story of hope as well, because you're right,
there'll be a lot of people listening right now are
on their own cancer treatment journey, Pansy. So stories like that,
we know all the other ones, but they're also stories
like your brother actually, and it's very very important to
remember those as well, because that is an incredible.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Living with cancer. So it's not necessarily having his life.

Speaker 6 (35:12):
Yes, you can live with cancer and you can lead
full lives, and that's what he's doing. He's grasping every opportunity,
making the most of it.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
And yeah, I'm thrilled.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Beautiful stuff, Patsy, and much love to your brother Karl.

We were talking about shabby and improvised outfits for book week.
I think, you know, to defend parents. What often happens
with bookwik is the kid reminds mum and dad and

(36:08):
about seven pm. And so that's why you have these
shabby outfits. It's not like they'd love to screw up
your life. And twenty years later you chatting to a
therapist that they made me dress as a power ranger
with it's a matchbox rise. You know, it's because you
let them know. I've been through that to where suddenly goes, oh,
for got to tell.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
This book week? When is it next week? Tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Tomorrow? That's where you sees so many in like bin bags.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
So you got around the house.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Here goes do you start rummaging around Christian? When I
was a kid, I did let my mum know the
night before, but she actually made me an amazing set
of armor for bookweek immediately from those aluminium barbecue tins
and foil Oh wow, a night of the realm arise,
Sir Galahad. That's from Michael. I'm curious to know if

(36:58):
anyone else has a small office like me. It is
actually sort of thing Michael Scott would be first of
riches to or David Brent in the office where he
got demoted. No, but he was telling himself it's actually
a promotion to have a to surrender something to the
greater good of the workforce, to take up less space.
So we're downsize and we're moving and there's no room

(37:20):
for me to have a desk in the in the
new down science house. So I'm trying to find if
someone I can get one of these garden pots garden
studios for the desk in and stuff like that. The
size that I was told by my wife it was
three by two. She's now saying it's two by two
I mapped out in the kitchen yesterday is more like.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Seriously, cells are bigger.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
I actually have an interesting fact on that solitary confinement
cells in the UK are two by three meters, which
is much third bigger than yourself.

Speaker 8 (37:54):
In Australia, solitary confinement is.

Speaker 7 (37:56):
Almost three times the size of yourself, and it is
actually in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I need a lawyer to represent me speaking to my
wife because.

Speaker 8 (38:09):
That has to be six square foot.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
So I'm looking at a hire a lawyer, now, can it?
Can they help me serve a ritz tonight at tea
time on my wife that I need bigger? Has anyone
got a tiny office either two by two or three
by two?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Okay? Please let me know.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Christian, have you thought about just getting a caravan as
an office? Where am I water white? So I'm dealing
out the back of it? He was about the similar
age to me. I believe well he just broke anna.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Here, I'll just park up a caravan and start doing
business on the back of that. Actually, don't mind that
idea driving around all the producers. We could go drive
us off for our meetings, pull up somewhere, you know.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Actually quite nice.

Speaker 8 (38:57):
You've wrote a lot of your book in your card.

Speaker 9 (38:59):

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Everyone's been emailing in, like this one from Terry Roberts.
My husband Pauline got married Saturday six of October nineteen ninety.
Footy fans may remember this significant date. Colinwood and Essendon
drew the AFL Grand Finals, so the replay got scheduled
on our wedding day. Well, I think it was just
happened to be. They didn't go best day to do

(40:08):
the This is on Terry.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
And Paulan's wedding day.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Our wedding's a three pm on my husband's family, plus
a lot of our guests.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Were mad Collinwood or Essendon fans.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
So there I was walking down the aisle with my dad,
who here comes to Briane. I need to see half
the guests. It was nineteen ninety with little transistor radios pressed,
so there is not even watching me. And to top
it off, the very first words out of the priest's
mouth that the altar were welcome.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Does anyone know the scurse? Ah?

Speaker 8 (40:39):
Fair enough?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Are you liking that, Patsy? We're getting a lot of Ah.
It's look a little soundtrack talk about being second best
at your own wedding. At least Collingwood won, so the
Roberts family had something to celebrate at the reception. Why
at least that you had that going for you. This
comes from someone who wants to be known as Francine,
wants to be known as Yeah, Christian, Please don't they

(41:00):
use my name, please to say Francine.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
This is an incredible story.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
A few years ago I had three deaths in three months,
dadd in March, other than law in April, than my
aunt in May. My aunt lived in Sydney. I'm in Melbourne,
but we were closed, so I flew up, stayed with
my boss and all the day of the funeral, headed
out the train in four black ready to meet the family.
Halfway there, I checked my phone for the dress and
realized I had the wrong day. I was a whole
week early. Now I could have admitted this to my

(41:26):
boss and family, but instead I rang my cards and
met them for lunch. Spent a few hours killing time
before heading back to my boss's place, pretending that I've
been at the funeral.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Y did you rub your eyes of it?

Speaker 8 (41:39):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (41:40):
To this day, three years later, my boss still thinks
I went to the funeral.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Oh, fran scene. You know why, fran scene me has
got a great story.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Christian.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
My grandparents were married in nineteen forty two and on
the surface looked like an additional Christian marriage. Where my
grand at the age of eighty eight, was diagnosed a
brain cancer. She asked me to get her diary out
of her underwear drawer. In the diary she had written
her speech for her own funeral, and she asked me
to be the one to read it.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
What not? Oh wow, the eulogy?

Speaker 2 (42:09):
I read what you could only call a list of
illegal feminist vigilante activities. Could honor, including smuggling birth control
into Malta. As I shared the speech, my grandfather jumped
up from the pew tried to tackle me to stop
it gets worse. I was immediately written out of the

(42:30):

moment I said the word Nicola, she messaged me. Her

(47:59):
name popped down on my phone. I'm not joking. Nicola
messaged me. And the rarity of Nicola messaging me is
very high.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Have to take your word for it. I mean this,

I met my husband online and we were heading online
and then he asked me, do you have any kids?
How old are I? So told him I had two boys,
and I told him how old and their names were
Joshua and Samuel, and he stopped texting me, So me
being me, After a couple of hours, I texted him
back and I said to him, I said, is everything okay?
You stopped texting me? And he tender, and he said,

(49:22):
I've got two boys and their names are Joshua and Samuel.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
So still not reason just still not a reason to
go somebody. I'm sorry, I continued.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
DA, it's just too much for me.

Speaker 1 (49:37):

Speaker 2 (49:38):
I don't make it harder on both of us. The
whole Joshua thing has got to me.

Speaker 14 (49:42):
He came back to me saying, which one of my
mates put you up to this? And I said, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
This looked like a jackass style prank, is it?

Speaker 13 (49:51):

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Meant to be that a friend had.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Messaged her wow hashtag mind blowing dot dot dot Hi've
emailed that man back, offering him a full refund on
today's show, and he has thanked me for my kind
of Segos replied to any of you who have heard
your morning wasted with We've got Anton here. He's got

(50:49):
a great story for us. Good morning Anton, Hi Christian,
I've got a story for one of the odds.

Speaker 13 (50:55):
I was walking dow up the street and I need
to see a GP. So I popped into a new
GP and as I walked up to the desk the reception,
I said to me, so, what's your name? And behind
me on the TV you could hear him I'm a
primary school teacher because the Chase episode that I was
on was playing right there. And then as she answered

(51:15):
the question.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
You are kidding me. Now, this is one of the odds.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Your episode.

Speaker 13 (51:22):
I played it twice a year because it was a
pretty thrilling episode where I'd won with half a second ago.
But that can for that odds was crazy.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Just as you're walking in, You're on the TV introducing
yourself to Australia on the Chase.

Speaker 13 (51:37):
Right after she said what's your name? How crazy is that?

Speaker 2 (51:41):
One of the biggest One of the odd stories we've
ever heard Anton.

Speaker 13 (51:44):
Yeah, it's unbelievable, but hey, they are the odds and
that's why I rung up.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
I like hashtag. They are the odds.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Now listen, Anton, So what happened on the show? How
much did you win?

Speaker 1 (51:54):
So?

Speaker 13 (51:55):
I answered ninety percent of all the questions in my
team and we had to share twenty seven thousand dollars.
So as a school teacher, I bring it up every year.
And we watched the episode and the kids take tali
marks and they're always like, why is the buzzer only
saying and Ton and you get the smart kid turn
around and go, come on, he's a teacher. He knows everything.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (52:14):
I don't wanted the odds that I can now use
a TV program to teach kids about tally marks and
making grass.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Well, did you enjoy going on? It's a great show.

Speaker 13 (52:24):
Oh, it was awesome. It was filmed at seven point
thirty in the morning, so I was slightly tired. I
did what they told me. They were like, make sure
you're excited, make sure you're having fun, make sure you
bring the jokes. So I did and the host kept laughing,
and then he turned around at the ad break and
said maybe we should switch jobs. So I may have
called Kevin Bacon ugly on National TV and that made
him have a giggle. But hey, Gina Davis didn't marry

(52:47):
Kevin Bacon. He married the tool guy from Independence Day,
so Jeff Goldblum. So that's a pretty good question. And
I'm talking way too much now. So the beast who
we beat, he told me I should be quiet because
every time there was a factor, I told him more
than they needed. So he had a bit of equip
at me and everyone had a laugh at my expense.
Thanks mister beasts.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
You know why, it's because they may about four or
five of those shows a day. It's like a that's
why you're in at seven the morning. Anyone who starts
ad libbing I went on the version of the UK,
they almost get annoyed because you're taking up a little
bit more time.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
You know what.

Speaker 7 (53:21):
That makes sense because I watch it every time I
go back to Sydney.

Speaker 8 (53:24):
My mom loves the chase.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
We watch a lot of the Chase, and you can
tell this one of the chases on there.

Speaker 8 (53:30):
The blonde woman. Yes, I don't think.

Speaker 7 (53:32):
Larry likes her because after every question she has some
extra little beat on it and by the end of it.

Speaker 8 (53:37):
Larry gets pretty pussy because Larry's is.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Outside waiting for seven seconds, is.

Speaker 13 (53:44):

listed the four suburbs, the last of which was Bondi.

(54:25):

we were walking along Bondai's main drag when we noticed
my brother suddenly has a massive smirk on his face.
Mom and I look up to see where he's looking.
