The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show for Chemist Warehouse. It's
Friday morning. The first half hour of every Friday show
are Friday recommendations. We call double thumbs up. You can
share your recommendations as well. What are you really enjoying
at the moment? Am I a book, podcast, TV show,
a movie? Text us yours.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
0475031043.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Patsy, what's yours this week?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Yes, as per a listener's recommendation last week, I have
started watching My Brilliant Career on Netflix, which is like
a new adaption of a 1900 novel by Miles Franklin.
We actually studied it at school, I think, in about
year 11. But it was also a movie in 1979
with Sam Neill and Judy Davis.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
It was brilliant. And we watched the movie at school
as well. But anyway, this is a new adaption and
it's really beautifully shot in Aussie bushland. Like it's just
so lovely. I can almost smell the gum trees watching it.
It's fantastic. It's only a six-part series. I have to say,
is it wrong of me to say I love a
short season like that where you don't have to overly commit?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, I don't like it. It's just six. You put
all that effort into the relationship. And he'd gone at six.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm sorry. I also think you haven't got a lot
to say.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh, no.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
See, I don't mind it. I don't mind it because
then I can move on to the.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Next best thing. Ideally 12th.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
I was going to say, what's your eight to 12?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Eight minimum. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Otherwise, I'm not investing it if it's six.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Just as I get to know you, you're going to
leave me.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
What about you, Ray?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
What's your ideal?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I like Christian.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
I like him a bit longer because once you're in there,
he's like, well, I want to stay in this world
for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's like reading a book and you already get into
it and you're saying, oh, no, I'm in the final third.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And then it's all going to be over.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And I go through a morning after a great TV
show or a great book. I really miss that world.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yes, and how annoying is it having to find a
new show? You've got to decide between all the different ones.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, it's the worst.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
First world problems.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
How annoying is it to find a new show?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm going to have to Google something. Or go like this.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Click, click, wait.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's another billion shows.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's too much pressure.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
There's too much pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
This is why we do Double Thumbs Up, guys. It's
why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Why we're here.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We're doing double thumbs up. Our recommendations. Okay, mine.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Brilliant TV show we are tailing through at the moment.
It's called Furious. I've not seen a cat and mouse
detective show like this before. Two female leads. One is
an FBI detective. One is a female serial killer. It
is gripping, savage, timely. It is very, very, very good.
That's why a lot of people are saying this is
TV show of the year. I've never seen anything like it.
(03:55):
It's some show. I cannot recommend enough. It's called Furious.
It's on Disney +. That's great. Guilty pleasure of mine,
the brilliant new Reacher is back. Ludicrous. Don't you just
want to see a very, very large man smashing bad
people in the face and.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Throwing them through the air into walls?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I do.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Every episode that happens and it pleases me.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
How many episodes are we talking?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I've seen so far five episodes.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All those family members who come in and they.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Go, don't talk to your dad right now.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He's with Reacher. He's with Reacher.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
He's with his other family.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think he's catnip for dads. In fact, I should
just say, hey, dads. It's an early Father's Day gift.
Our boy reaches back.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Is he a spy?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Your dad's favorite TV show. He's a former military cop
who just drifts around. And where there's wrongdoing, suddenly, lo
and behold, guess who's there? Richard. You got it, buddy.
You got it. I love Sean McAuliffe. I think he's really,
really is a classy, smart comedian. He's done this TV
show called Sean McAuliffe's Origin Stories. And the episode I
(05:00):
want to talk about is the one with the new
king of comedy. Right now in Hollywood is someone every
Australian should be very proud of, Aaron Chen. The episode
with Aaron Chen is really surprising. Aaron has an act,
a certain way of doing things. And so I watched
it thinking, I wonder if he's going to stay in
kind of character.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And there's a scene where they're having dinner where it
actually moves Sean to tears. And then it moved me
to tears as well. Just what an impact. And just
how much he admired Sean McAuliffe. Cannot recommend that. It's
on SBS on demand.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Really good.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Is that the show where he sits down to dinner
with Aaron's aunt and uncle?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I've seen a clip of that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It looked incredible. Watch the show. It's really, really good.
And then a book I've just finished reading, which is brilliant,
A Waiter in Paris. That is outstanding. It is so good. Really,
really good. Cannot recommend that enough. I read it in
two days flat. Brilliant memoir. Young guy trying to become
a waiter in Paris. If you loved Anthony Bourdain's book,
Kitchen Confidential, it's as good or.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm going to whisper it. I think it was better.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Wow. You know what?
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I tried to listen to the audio book of Kitchen Confidential,
and the story is obviously incredible, but clearly Anthony Bourdain
has no interest in reading the audio book, and he's
so lackluster and has no energy.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
He's so bored in the audio book. Imagine being the
producers that were like, because doing an audio book, it
takes about three days. You better go two or three
lines without fluffing up. You have to go back. I
reckon none of them were brave enough to go, Anthony,
I think you just fluffed up.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Okay, now don't worry about Anthony, actually. I think the
way you pronounce it is probably the right way.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Don't bother Mr. Bourdain. No, I got it years ago.
And it actually sounds like he's taking the piss. It does, no.
Bloody hell, mate. I was interested in your story.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We're doing double thumbs up. Rio, you recommended a podcast
this week on the show. Obviously, we've been talking a
lot about the late, great Dolly Parton. And I listened
to it all day. Oh, no way.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Dolly Parton's America?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Fascinating. It's so interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, I honestly knew absolutely nothing about Dolly Parton until
this podcast came out in 2019.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's about six 40-minute, half-hour episodes. I burned through it
like an audio book. I couldn't stop listening to it
this week, and it's fascinating. I didn't know the true
story about I Would Always Love You. Yes. It's one
of the greatest love songs, but unlike any other love song,
it's not bitter. It doesn't have a hit-the-road-jack-or-screw-you moment in it.
It's a song of grace, of an ending of a
(07:29):
relationship with no bitterness or resentment, just of grace.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And she wrote it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
The guy that discovered her used to be like the,
he had a big country and Western TV show and
the young stars he discovered, he signed up and they
were in pretty dodgy ironclad contracts. Portner Wagner was the guy.
She said one day, I want to leave now. She
wanted to take a breakout from his camp and see
if she could go out into the world as a sound.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He went, no way.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
She went and wrote, I would always love you. as
a breakup song to him. She went into his office,
played it to him. It's actually giving me goosebumps, this story.
You know, in a couple of years' time, we're going
to see this scene on a movie, aren't we? Yes,
you can see it. She plays it to him. He says,
that's the greatest song you've ever written. And he lets
her go.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Years later, he sues her for a million and was
bitter and mean throughout his whole life to her.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Multiple lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
In this interview, in the podcast series, though, they keep
trying to push Dolly. They wanted to say how angry
she was at the way he treated her. And she
refuses to. And in the end, the interviewer says, you know,
and in the end, how did you get over his
unfair treatment to you? And she said, I forgave him.
She says the most important quality in life is forgiveness.
That's all there is.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Incredible woman of real grace.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I think what's amazing about the reaction to Dolly's death,
it's like, it's not just all the music and the
incredible output and writing over 3,000 songs. I must have
checked that on Google a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Maybe it's 300. That's a hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Writing over 3,000 songs. The big thing that I think
has really affected us is her kindness and generosity.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It's one thing.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's enough to become an amazing singer and writer and
do that over multiple decades, run your own business empire,
but when no woman had done that before. But to
actually create that imagination library, I donated money to it yesterday.
It's a charity she set up. that's helped over 320
million kids all over the world, is something, I think
(09:25):
she's the greatest living American person ever.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
100%.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think she reminds people, it must be quite sad
for America, I was thinking about this, she feels like
a bridge to an America that isn't there anymore. And
I don't want to say anything more, I do not
want to make it political because she wasn't about that,
but that's what it feels like. She was an embodiment
of what America dreamt it could be.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
There's a great line in the podcast about her being
the great unifier. And they talk about how at the concert,
there's drag queens, rednecks, lesbians, construction workers, gay guys, straight people.
There's everyone there and they're all getting along, all talking
to each other, having a great time. And I can't
think of any single other person who's had that effect.
(10:08):
especially this was in 2019 in a very divided America.
And to be able to do that and to live
with such wisdom and grace and to write incredible songs.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
In 2017, the New York Times asked their readers, what
can all Americans agree on? the number one answer was
Dolly Parton. Is that the greatest question and answer? Everything.
The one thing, they can't politically, but the one thing
they could all agree on was Dolly Parton. I think
it's incredible, just the reaction to her. And the last
(10:41):
thing that I want to say really about it this
morning is that there's still a reaction to her kindness, grace,
and generosity, and service. She definitely lived a life of services.
Those are qualities and things that, any of us can
have every single day. You don't need to have written,
I would always love you and Jolene in one day.
(11:01):
We can all be, I wrote it down the other day,
be more dolly. I think we can all be a
bit more dolly. Maybe we can take that into a
weekend to keep that spirit going.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Christian, knock off Friday. Our weekend highlight is our son
is playing his bass drum at the Gold Coast show
today and over the weekend. We're all very excited. He's
only 12 and a half years old. What age do
you stop doing the halves? Great question. You remember writing
in like Christmas cards and cards to like families and
(11:38):
your nanas and And even if you're writing off to
celebrities to get an autograph, you were always counting upwards.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Now you round down. Like, Pete will never tell you
his age. You're just going, I'm 40. And it tails off.
He won't put a number on it, sir. He's not
saying 43 and a half. Honour those years. Honour those
tree rings of your life, man.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But we count down. It's a sort of round down,
you know? Whereas when you were younger, you just on
a claw... Away from the 11 and more focusing on
halfway to 12.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Or for some of us, the three quarters even.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
11 and three quarters, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I'm 12 this year. 11 months away, but this year.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
In all future correspondence now, listeners, we want to know
at a half or a quarter.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
I don't think I have the maths.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, I'm not sure. I'm thinking my fish oils yet.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
53 and a half.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh, I don't know. 33 and... Tell you it's gone quiet.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's the man who doesn't like to ever put a
number on it. Intern Pete.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Yeah, we've got to write it down and then sort
of carry the.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Catches in his throat, doesn't he?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Caught you up.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Actually, it makes me think he's way older than he
says at 42. It's like a Benjamin Button.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, he really is. I don't look at Charlie. Petey Button.
Now listen, you know, when we talk about knock-off Friday...
what we're looking forward to this weekend. You've got an
incredible weekend lined up. You're doing the Sydney Marathon. Good luck.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
And how are you feeling now?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Because yesterday after the show, we hired a master hypnotherapist
for Pete to help him focus a lot of the
sprinkler energy I experienced with him, working with him on Wednesday.
And I was concerned that you were going to leak, actually.
We all do this when we've got a big event on.
You can leak out a lot of energy that you
really need to preserve your so that you can use
(13:32):
it the right way on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
For sure.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
I think I might have started going crazy on Wednesday,
which it could have been a downward slope up until Sunday,
and there would have been nothing of me left come Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I doubt that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I think you're tapped into some source that none of
us know about.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
I didn't know what was going on, but a pretty,
pretty cool experience.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
If you want to hear it, download Wednesday's podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You'll hear it. Oh, no, don't. I can only describe
it as a garden sprinkler. Oh, but Times Reel and
I were looking at each other going, is there a
strange noise?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
You can watch a man descend into madness in real time,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, it's a hell of a sell for the podcast.
We should put that as a warning. Hey, this is
Christian here. Just a warning.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You're going to be listening to a man descending into madness.
In real time.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If that's your thing, press play.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Oh, God.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But anyway, how did it go? How did the hypnotherapy go?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Did it help?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Okay, very skeptical as a person. Like, I was very
sort of worried, like, could I even go under? Like,
I'm quite a hypo person in general, right? So I
was like, are you even going to be able to
get me there? I met him downstairs.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Very.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
gives an aura like just a completely different person that
I've never met before.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Like just he had a very calming.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Sort of vibe about him.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
If he's more frantic than you.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Would have been in all sorts of ways. Hey, it's working. Bing, bing.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Yeah, and that's the thing because once he started as well,
I was a bit like, is this part supposed to
happen here?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
Is that all that sort of stuff? But in all honesty–
I feel super calm.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I feel zen.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You sound it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I have to be honest. I was just chatting to
Pete before the show. You sound incredibly grounded.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'd never been.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
I think I tried it years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It couldn't happen.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
But either I was hypnotized or I had the greatest
45-minute nanny nap of my life. Like I just woke
up feeling. You've had a lot going on this year.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And so maybe whatever happened, it's helped you because you
do sound a bit more grounded today.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I feel grounded and I feel he's given me some
things to think about, like just in regards to when
I'm out there on the run, all that.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Sort of stuff.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Just like, you know, how to bring myself back if
things are getting out of control and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So what have you got? Breathing techniques?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Breathing, yes.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Any phrases?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Breathing is the key. Phrases... Oh, God, there was something,
but I can't remember now.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But he really, really maybe buried it deep in that subconscious.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
He did say that to me. He said, oh, do
you remember that? I said, oh, not really. And he goes, oh,
hopefully you'll remember the next few.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Days as.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Well. Sounds like you're going to have to have another
session to try and retrieve what he hypnotized you. He's
never worked with such a civilized mind. You don't remember
any of these words. I said them 50 times.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
He did.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
He repeated things over and over, and now I can't remember.
Joel Fogel, he is very good, though, from Melbourne.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
He's a very, I couldn't believe, I mean, just like
he put a light in my eye at the start.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh, yeah, medics do that, check someone's alive.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Or if they've got internal kind of brain damage.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I was definitely alive. I was spending three minutes, the
lights are not on with this dude. Better get the
old torch out. Hello?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bloody hell, he's barely responsive.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Yeah, look, I was watching back some of the footage
as well and he was, you know, doing lots of
things on his phones and I think it took him
a little longer.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Hook you an Uber. And wrap this up.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No, not dinner or something, but an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I really hope it helps. I hope it's useful, mate.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Thanks for the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I loved it so much.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Question knocking off today, 2pm.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Can't wait to send off the last few days of
winter at a wine bar tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's from Emma. Is it the last few days of winter?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
It is.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
First day of spring on Monday.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You're kidding.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
We're back on Monday.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
We spring into spring.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That is genuinely great news. Emma, you're not going to
stay in that wine bar until Monday, are you? It
ain't coming out until spring. Oh, pucks a tawny fin
in there. Christian, can you ask Pete what pace is KM's?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What does he want to average at? Pete, do you
have an ideal pace?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
So I've been given a very specific thing if I
want to get the three hours and 30 minutes.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
So I've got to hold four minutes.
Speaker 10 (17:52):
50 for the first 10 Ks, and then I can
move to four minutes and 55 seconds for the pucks.
Up until 36Ks and then do whatever I like.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Just run my head out.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
For the last few.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
That's a hell of a lick you're going to.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yeah, I've never really done that.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So fingers crossed. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Going to have an amazing race anyway. Yeah, that's going
to be good.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
The weather is looking perfect conditions for Sunday too.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So welcome everyone to Sydney, by the way.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Everyone's flying in again.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I thought I was joking again.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
How many welcomes?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Look at me, I'm going to call you Welcome Pete.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Yeah, no, I'm happy with that because even yesterday, more
tourists arriving, people getting their last little runs in.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's Sydney.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We have them here every day in Melbourne. They're coming
from all over the place.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
How do you know they're tourists?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He thinks every foreigner is a tourist.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
He's here for the marathon. So I'm a third generation immigrant.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Olivia, mate. Have you got your assets? This weekend, Christian,
we're going to a Friends mob-themed birthday party. How do
you know it's mob-themed? They might just be in the mob.
Patsy calls us every weekend. We keep saying, that's not
a theme, Pats. It's not cosplay.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's real play. Christian, this is Darren, my weekend highlight.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Going to see The Lion King stage show over the weekend.
It's an amazing show. Christian, knocking off at 4.30 today,
the highlight of the weekend. We're watching Carlton Flog, your beloved. Darren,
we don't need to listen to him. It's like crazy fog.
Get some hypnotherapy.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Patsy, what are you up to this weekend?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, I'm running my own marathon this weekend. I'll let
you know if anyone wants to sponsor me. I am
getting Audrey ready, packed off for camp, a big, massive
hiking camp. Another camp? No, this is like the same
camp I've been banging on about for weeks, Rio.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Sorry, sorry. We've all been on our own honestly with
this one. Just without the seven years with Chalice Theron.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
She brought the backpack home she's got to take.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You would think she's doing the Gobi Desert or something.
She's staying in a car park in Frankston.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
She's not. They're camping in the wilderness. She's terrified. But
she brought the pack home yesterday. It's about the size
of a shoebox she's got to put her clothes in,
and that's going to be very difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, they're giving a definitive sort of.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Small things that don't bring too much.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No, no. And we've got to go this weekend and
get some dehydrated food because we've got to take everything.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, God, I remember all that. Those packets of stuff.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Food, the whole lot.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So we'll go. I found some in the cupboard the
other day and I was home alone. That was dinner.
I was camping.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
That's just sad.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Doing it hard. Doing it hard.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Netflix.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Netflix and camp.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
So, yeah, so we'll be banging down the door at
Kathmandu and all those stores this weekend.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
See you at Anaconda.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Or anaconda, yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Either or, all.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Ria, what do you want to do this weekend?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
My friends have taken a year off to build their
own house.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh, no, you see those couples who clearly aren't together
anymore on the TV show that's called Grand Designs. Grand
Designs has broken up more relationships than any other thing
in modern life. If you see Kevin MacLeod outside the
front of your house, shut the door. We've got company
the wrong kind. MacLeod's here. Kevin's here. But Grand Designs,
(21:03):
you always see that last shot. where they're like six
feet apart. Well, yeah, you know, and then you can
tell that they've just had enough of each other. The
project always overruns.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
So we're going to go over there, try to save
their marriage. And we're doing a working bee with about
a dozen of our mates to go and help them.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Well, where were you a year ago? They could have
done more out six months ago, nine months ago. What
are you going to exactly help with moving a plant pot?
LAUGHTER Do the outdoor seating. You've waited out a year.
They must have been through hell. Where are our friends?
Our old mate Rios is here for the victory lap.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
But even the victory lap, I don't know what I
can offer.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I actually have no... Vibes. That's all.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Vibes.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
There's an Excel spreadsheet and it says like.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Cool refreshments.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Cool, yeah, maybe making some like.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sing them a jingle.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Nice.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Do you need any radio jingles made up?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
There you go. That's the extent. The vibe goes here.
Everyone needs to cheer squad. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Okay, that's all.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That's really all.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
I have no life skills, nothing to build a house without.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
You couldn't do that. We had to get old mate Jack.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
To trim the wood for your patio at the apartment.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I think that man went crazy trying to do that.
Do you remember that home reno? Every Monday, I dread
asking him. I had the weekend going, oh, he's working
on the reno. Your poor friend's taken a year off
to do that. What an amazing experience, though. Yeah, they've
actually done so well. Is it done?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
It looks incredible. They've done one of the slanted roofs
as well, like a sloped roof. It's majestic.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
But, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I'm just going to be hovering around while other people
work mostly, I think.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Sounds familiar to this show.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now we're all up to speed with the superheroes, the.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Multiverse, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Give me Odysseus. That's my multiverse. That's my kind of superhero.
A middle-aged man falling apart. Can't work out where he lives.
Somewhere around here somewhere. We've all had nights like that.
I don't know why I moved. Sorry, strong suburb. A
little bit dusty. This morning I want to talk about
(23:15):
your very useless superpower. I have one which the family
are always amazed by. I can pick up a packed
suitcase from my wife and my two daughters, and I
can tell you to a K roughly what that weight is.
Before we get the digital one, I go, this is 22.
The human scale. Yeah, I know. The human scale. I
(23:38):
could just work at the airport. Just picking up old
nunner's bags. 19, you're fine. Go on through. 24, you're
going to need the heavy bag tag. And you know it.
You knew it's over.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I would love to test this. It's the only time
my family are impressed. Wow. How does he do it?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
How do you think he developed such a superpower?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I think it's something you're born with.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think it's something you're born with. At my eulogy,
talk about this, please. Don't mention the radio show. Talk
more about the human scale.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
We'll weigh your casket. We need you there.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Do you know what? We should test it out one
day on the show. Let's pack some suitcases. Let me
just pick them up. It is so useless.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It only works really within the house.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Because at the airport, you've got all the scales everywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, we have to stream this live for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Oh, shoot, shoot. Can you speak to KO Sports? Start
to negotiate the rights for that. Great idea. Speak to
sales right now. Stop working on the one-pager. Patsy, what's
your use of superpower?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
I have an uncanny knack of always finding a shopping
trolley that isn't locked. Because I've never got a gold
coin anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's actually useful.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I always sniff them out. There's always one in the
turnstile that has no lock on it. And I always
get it, which is just as well. I never have
a gold coin. And I always, I get those little
trolley tokens, but I always lose them.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Or I leave them in another bag.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's a sign you're an adult, isn't it? You've got
those tokens.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
But I always get one. And off I go into
the supermarket.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Hey, life hack with that. If you are really struggling,
there are always, always free ones. You know where you
put them next to the cars in the car park?
Because everyone just chucks them in there.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
They just throw them in there and leave.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Maybe like pants.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Not a returner.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
If you sniff around there, you'll always find a loose
shopping trolley.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh, you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You're right. By the way, how smug as a grown-up
do you feel when you take your bag in?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You turn up with that bag.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Bag, bag. Yeah, you've got the bag within the bag, actually,
because it could be a two-bagger. It could be a
three-bagger shop list. Another use of scale, I can look
at shopping lists and go, this is a three-bagger. Oh,
that's very useful. This is a three-bagger, Sarah. I'm going
to take four just so I'm stress-free shopping, but this
is not a one-bag situation.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I always take an extra one because it's the worst.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And then if I see this is a four or five-bagger,
I'm like, I'm not doing that. I've got no time
for this beer, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's on an online order.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Online orders. Online, I only go over four. It's an
online order. Let some of the young kids struggle with
this young man's game there.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Patsy, what is your Chemist Warehouse product of the week?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Mine this week, I can't believe the amount of stuff
that Chemist Warehouse has.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Believe it, Pats.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Oh, my goodness. Every time I go, there's always something
different there. And this week, I found that they have Clarins,
which is a beautiful skincare range.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I've got my wife loves Clarins.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
I've used it since I was sort of like in
my 20s, and they have Clarins now. They have some
of the Clarins stuff, which is just the most beautiful
sort of botanical foundations and stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Anyway, I'm using– It just smells– I love the Clarins stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
My wife has always loved that.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's like a body mist.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Oh, yes, the fragrance.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
It's a classic. The red bottle.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know that one?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yes, in the big round bottle.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
No, I've always used their Beauty Flash Balm, which is.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
And it shows.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Am I growing today?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Whenever you see Pats, she's been embalmed.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Don't say that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No, sorry, balm.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Sorry, I must have misheard her.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, just getting ready for the big off. The next journey.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
No, I use this Beauty Flash Balm every morning. It's
in my makeup kit. And what it does, it just
gives you, you put it on top of your moisturizer.
You can even mix it in with your foundation, like
your makeup and stuff. And it just gives you a
nice cool boost.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You write this down, Ria, mix it in with your foundation, mate,
because I notice sometimes you don't mix that foundation.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I put it under the moisturizer.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
It doesn't really matter. You can go under or over.
Proper way to have a cup of tea, proper way
to do that foundation.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
But it just gives you a bit of a pick-me-up
in the morning, and it's nice and cool when you're
really tired. So mums will know this. It's a classic.
It's Beauty Flash Balm, and it's so cheap.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Oh, it's sexist.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What about us dads? Well, yeah, Chris sometimes uses it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I need a flash balm.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Trust me, I need a flash balm in the morning.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, you'd love it. In fact, all the team would
love it because it gives you a nice little pick-up
in the morning. You know, it wakes you up a bit.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I'd say the team are 20 years younger than us. Yeah.
They don't need it yet. No, I used to use
it in my 20s. Water's fine for them. They don't
need anything. That's why I look so good now.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
They've got that unlimited creatine being produced in their collagen
oozing out their pores. It's the rest of us dry
lizard people that need the balm. Leave our balm.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Leave some balm for us.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Leave some balm for.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Us, young'uns.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
You won't be all scaly if you use Clarence Beauty Flash.
Trust me, I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
All right, these useless superpowers are brilliant. Thank you very
much for sending them in. This is a great one. Christian,
my useless superpower. I can get the lettuce in the
bag within two seconds.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You know when you're just trying to squish it back
in and it's arms like, no! Don't get in there.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's exactly how it goes. Christian, my use of superpower,
changing toilet rolls. It doesn't matter where I am. It's
always me who is the person.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Same here. Change the loo rolls. My house, my sister's house,
my best friend's house, my parents' house, friend's house.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Public toilets. It's always me. Good morning, Brian and Sydney.
This is the show. We'll say good luck to Pete Rio,
I had a similar conversation with my group of mates.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We've been helping them move house.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Simply providing lunch and reminding people to drink water can
go a long way on these working bee weekends.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
That is what I'll do.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Christian, if you have a friend with a 3D printer,
they can print you off trolley keys.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Anthony, I don't know what kind of guys you're hanging
out with.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I don't have anyone in my friendship group who has
a 3D printer.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And I don't think any of.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Our listeners will. I don't know if we've got anyone
listening who's got a domestic. We have one here.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
We have one at the radio station.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
At home, you're not going to have a 3D printer.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Why does a radio station need a radio printer?
Speaker 10 (29:41):
I don't know, but one day I needed a guitar
pick and we could not find anywhere.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
So the tech went and made one for me.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
What would you need with a guitar pick?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
I was playing the guitar.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
An actually good answer.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Touche. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
What yet unknown bit is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Big weekend. Sidney Mouthen and our man, Intern Pete, is running. Yes.
He's talking to himself live in his station toilets right now.
It's part of his hypnotherapy he's at.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Pete, back in the room.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back in the room. Here, here. So yesterday we got Pete,
a very good hypnotherapist that we've used before on the show.
If you're interested, he's a master hypnotherapist, Joel Fogel. You
can find him on The Grams. Joel Fogel, hypnotist. How
did you get on? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Do you feel different? You sounded today a bit more chilled.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Yeah, definitely more chilled. Felt it.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
I was very sceptical because some people call me a bit.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Of a hypo sort of person, a bit hyperactive.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Who the hell? Who is who?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
Quite strange.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
So I did worry, would I be able to get
there or not? And I thought I was under probably
for a few minutes, but it was about 45 minutes
that I was actually under.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
And he also said this, he goes, you went very,
very deep. Like as in like, we looked at the
footage back as well and I'm just slouching, like just
fully asleep, but just in this deep, I mean, you've
had it done before. It was just, I could hear
what he was saying and repeating things and bits and pieces.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
But you're somewhere else, aren't you?
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Totally somewhere else indeed. So, and he's very, it was just.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Being out of this world.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I wish I could be hypnotized every night to go
to sleep because actually you, one thing you get right,
is a very nourishing, like the greatest nap ever. You
come out feeling very, very different. You actually experience, oh,
this is who I'd be if I was fully rested.
I've always wondered what that would feel like. It's a
shame you just can't have that five or six nights
a week. And it's a shame for the people around you.
(31:47):
I might hire Joel to sit in a chair in
the corner of my bedroom every night.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Hector ties me, Joel.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It would be so good.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
I just think, yeah, I feel so fresh.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I know, again, I do apologise for Wednesday's show.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
That was a very different theatre.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You don't need to. I was just very, very great.
There's no point you needed whatsoever. You've actually got a
big thing going on. To be fair, you've had a
real life quake in your show. Obviously, some of you
will appreciate, you know, intern Pete.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
How many years were you with Carl and Jackie O?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Almost 13 years.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Long, long time. Long time to be with a very big, crazy, troubled,
radio show and you know now we've picked you up
on the free transfer market and happy to provide like
uh i guess it's like a lot of those wildlife
sanctuaries a former performing tiger yeah yeah that's right now
doesn't need to perform anymore actually a bit though actually
(32:39):
a bit though pete it is.
Speaker 10 (32:40):
No no you're absolutely i was thinking about this after
this yesterday because it was probably the most relaxed i've
actually been all year because it has been i'll be
honest with you absolute turmoil like yeah um just from
a work perspective, the craziest year of my life ever.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
And I'm really happy in this new home that I've
got here.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like I've never been.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
We love having you as part of our family, Pete.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
We do.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I really love being here. So thank you so much.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
And just all the opportunities and the support you're giving
me for Sunday's marathon is just.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I think it's an incredible thing to do.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And here's what I want. All the brights is out
this morning. I want us to be with Pete every
step of the way. He is going to be running
it alone. It's an incredible thing to do. And all
the other 40,000 people are doing it, uh, this Sunday.
And then in October, we've got the big Melbourne Marathon
as well. It's an incredible thing to watch someone and
cheer them on. So what I want us to do
is we're dedicating every single K to one of you.
(33:30):
I think this will help motivate Pete. It breaks it
down a K at a time of the 42 and
it personalises it. You know, you are part of this
family of ours that we're building up every single morning
on the show, The Bright Side of the Dial. So
I think it'd be a really nice thing to help
Pete is that every single K that he's about to start,
It's somebody's name somewhere. It might be a family. And
(33:52):
I think it makes it closer to your heart to
remind you, that you're part of something bigger, Pete. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
And, yeah, again, good luck to everyone.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I'm going to name all them during the run, whether
it's a scout group or I think there was Spat,
someone called Spat the Cat or something.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Splat. Splat, sorry. He's waiting for you at K13, mate.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I cannot wait for him.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Don't get that wrong. You know I'm upset, Splat the Cat,
or you'll be splat at the end of the race, mate.
I know.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
I don't want to sound fussy, but can we have
no hard-pronouncing names, please, because I don't want to muck
up anyone.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Just white people, please. Oh, no, no. No.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
No, there's funky foreign names.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And you're running for One Nation.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Aren't you?
Speaker 7 (34:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Just Wayne's, Daryl's, please.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
You've taken my words out of context.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Well, you said it, mate. I mean, yeah, you're right.
I did too. My bad. Maybe he needs to get
you back with Joel. Sorry, Hasan. I'm not going to happen.
Can you make him a bit less racist, please?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
We will.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Gladly take it. So would you take Christian, or is
that too much of a hard name for you? No,
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It's fine. He gets my name wrong sometimes as well.
I called you Christian the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
There's so much.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
In turn, Pete, doing the Sydney Marathon this weekend, and
we're dedicating every single one of the 42Ks. Christian, can
I have K3? I'm a volunteer also for the Sydney Marathon.
I want to sponsor it, dedicate it for all the
fellow volunteers. We have to start shifts at 3 a.m.
to get there in time to make sure the marathon
runs smoothly for everyone on the day. Kylie, thank you
(35:23):
very much for what you're doing. Look out for Pete. Now, Christian,
the marathon is actually 42.195 Ks. Can I have the
last 195 metres? Yes, Stephen.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Moonhole.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Okay. Good. That's going to be maybe the hardest bit. Yes.
195 metres.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
He's struggling with that.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
No, no. I've actually worked out where.
Speaker 8 (35:51):
It's from Alan Jones's house to the finish line.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Not the name to mention today. Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Yeah, just that building there near the Aria restaurant. Probably
should have just said Aria restaurant.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Aria restaurant.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Oh, well. You'll even learn. Okay, so we're giving away
K's on his, the hypnotherapy didn't work. So a lot
of you got very different reasons for why you want
to dedicate a K. And this is a lovely one
from Sonia and My best friend went through this the
last couple of years with their dad. Christian, I just
(36:24):
sponsored and turned PM off my dad, Roger, who is
late-onset Alzheimer's. And just so that people can know that
exercise is one of the best ways to beat Alzheimer's.
It is like 45%. It reduces your chance of getting
Alzheimer's by around 45% regular exercise. It is really important. Christian,
it's heartbreaking and it's such an insidious disease. It is.
(36:45):
My best friend just went through this the last couple
of years ago. The more we can shine a light
on how to avoid and best push back, which is
why I'd love if Pete can dedicate a K to
my great dad, Roger. Absolutely can. Sonia, I'm sending love
to you and your dad as well. Pete, you all
right there? It's Roger. Roger.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Easy to pronounce.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Perfect. Got it.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Jane, let's go to Jane here. You don't make it easy,
does it?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It can be easy. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Okay, let's just turn it off for a bit.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Jane, the morning... I didn't do that earlier. It's always
an option. You're like a subs bench. Doesn't have to
be out and over for the whole game. Jane's on
the line.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Jane, good morning.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Jane? Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Jane, you want to dedicate a K? Which one would
you love, Jane?
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I'm happy with any K because I have never, ever
done a marathon, and this way I can say that
I've done a marathon.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
LAUGHTER Then I might grab one as well.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Great idea.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Jane, have a lovely weekend. Thanks for calling me.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Okay, bye.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Let's go to John.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Good morning, John.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yes, 18 is my good luck number, and I wish Pete,
intern Pete DePeller, I think that's his name.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It is. Yeah, well done.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yes, sir. All the luck in the world. I mean,
barely any of us can walk 10 Ks, let alone
run 42 Ks in the prep to do it. Representing
our favorite radio station. Best of luck.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
He's our representative.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Thank you very much, John. Lovely words to have a
lovely weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Lovely chilling words. I'll take that to my grave. No,
my bed tonight. Book me in to see Joel ASAP.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Can you? Saskia, good morning.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Good morning, Saskia.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Welcome to the show. And which K would you want
dedicated to yourself?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Well, it's actually for my husband, and I would love
the 20th kilometre for two reasons. Firstly, it's about to
be our 20th wedding anniversary.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Congratulations.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
But my husband, thank you. My husband was due to
run the Gold Coast Marathon last year, and sorry, Paul,
but being 50, his body just decided.
It just gave up like literally a couple of weeks before.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Oh, no.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
So he'd done all the hard yards, all the training.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Oh, he must have been devastated.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
He had his ticket. We were ready to go. So,
intern Pete, I would love it if you could run
that kilometre for my husband who is still trying to recover.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Oh, with honour. Absolutely. What's his name?
Speaker 9 (39:17):
His name's Paul.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
Paul.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Okay. Lovely.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
We'll definitely do that. Saskia, have a lovely weekend. Thanks
for your call.
Speaker 9 (39:23):
Thank you all.
Speaker 2 (39:25):

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Brilliant work. All right. So next week is about one thing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
And I really want us to celebrate and elevate what
is the most underwhelming event of the year, Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
It's a non-event.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
This weekend, as you're going around doing your shopping and
stuff like that, you'll notice the lackluster nod. It's a
nod to Father's Day. You know, I said I was
in a clothing store this week, and they had a
table for Father's Day gifts that was three T-shirts.
Speaker 9 (44:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Cream, brown, and black. These are normal T-shirts just shoved
over here.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Showing what?
Speaker 1 (44:49):
The emotional range of dad? Cream, brown, black. That's the
emotional range of an Aussie dad.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
No, we deserve more. You go into any of the supermarkets.
Father's Day cards. They're right by the people offering you
piano lessons and guitar lessons. There's only ever two choice
of cards. The old cricket bat or the old leather ball.
That's it. That's it. We say no, not on this show. Dads,
I've got you. We're going to look after the dads
(45:15):
next week because we are searching for... Australia's toughest dad, mentally, physically, sexually,
and spiritually. I said one of those just to wake
up the Chuckle Sisters because we were talking to each other.
Then they just stopped in their tracks. It's a new
thing I'm going to do once a show. They're listening now.
Head to the gold website, dot com dot au. Register
(45:39):
your dad. And dads, nominate yourself. You probably have to.
Head to thegoldwebsite.com.au. Register your dad or dad. Nominate yourself.
And dads, you will not be underserved by this show. Dads,
we see you. Thanks to Harvey Norman. Great price. Fire
up the grill for a Father's Day feast at Harvey Norman.
(46:01):
Shop hot deals on barbecues in-store and online. Up for
grabs for Australia's toughest dad, the ultimate. Gasmate Apollo 4-4
burner barbecue. It's what we're talking about. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
This is great.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
This is high-level dadding. Why wander out there and turn
it on?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Get your phone out.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
Call your steak.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Yes, come on. You're not done yet.

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show for Chemist Warehouse. It's
Friday morning. The first half hour of every Friday show
are Friday recommendations. We call double thumbs up. You can
share your recommendations as well. What are you really enjoying
at the moment? Am I a book, podcast, TV show,
a movie? Text us yours.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
0475031043.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Patsy, what's yours this week?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Yes, as per a listener's recommendation last week, I have
started watching My Brilliant Career on Netflix, which is like
a new adaption of a 1900 novel by Miles Franklin.
We actually studied it at school, I think, in about
year 11. But it was also a movie in 1979
with Sam Neill and Judy Davis.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
It was brilliant. And we watched the movie at school
as well. But anyway, this is a new adaption and
it's really beautifully shot in Aussie bushland. Like it's just
so lovely. I can almost smell the gum trees watching it.
It's fantastic. It's only a six-part series. I have to say,
is it wrong of me to say I love a
short season like that where you don't have to overly commit?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, I don't like it. It's just six. You put
all that effort into the relationship. And he'd gone at six.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'm sorry. I also think you haven't got a lot
to say.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Oh, no.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
See, I don't mind it. I don't mind it because
then I can move on to the.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Next best thing. Ideally 12th.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
I was going to say, what's your eight to 12?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Eight minimum. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Otherwise, I'm not investing it if it's six.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Just as I get to know you, you're going to
leave me.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
What about you, Ray?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
What's your ideal?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, I like Christian.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
I like him a bit longer because once you're in there,
he's like, well, I want to stay in this world
for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's like reading a book and you already get into
it and you're saying, oh, no, I'm in the final third.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And then it's all going to be over.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And I go through a morning after a great TV
show or a great book. I really miss that world.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yes, and how annoying is it having to find a
new show? You've got to decide between all the different ones.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, it's the worst.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
First world problems.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
How annoying is it to find a new show?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm going to have to Google something. Or go like this.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Click, click, wait.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's another billion shows.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's too much pressure.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
There's too much pressure.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
This is why we do Double Thumbs Up, guys. It's
why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Why we're here.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
We're doing double thumbs up. Our recommendations. Okay, mine.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Brilliant TV show we are tailing through at the moment.
It's called Furious. I've not seen a cat and mouse
detective show like this before. Two female leads. One is
an FBI detective. One is a female serial killer. It
is gripping, savage, timely. It is very, very, very good.
That's why a lot of people are saying this is
TV show of the year. I've never seen anything like it.
(03:55):
It's some show. I cannot recommend enough. It's called Furious.
It's on Disney +. That's great. Guilty pleasure of mine,
the brilliant new Reacher is back. Ludicrous. Don't you just
want to see a very, very large man smashing bad
people in the face and.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Throwing them through the air into walls?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I do.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Every episode that happens and it pleases me.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
How many episodes are we talking?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I've seen so far five episodes.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All those family members who come in and they.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Go, don't talk to your dad right now.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He's with Reacher. He's with Reacher.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
He's with his other family.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think he's catnip for dads. In fact, I should
just say, hey, dads. It's an early Father's Day gift.
Our boy reaches back.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Is he a spy?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Your dad's favorite TV show. He's a former military cop
who just drifts around. And where there's wrongdoing, suddenly, lo
and behold, guess who's there? Richard. You got it, buddy.
You got it. I love Sean McAuliffe. I think he's really,
really is a classy, smart comedian. He's done this TV
show called Sean McAuliffe's Origin Stories. And the episode I
(05:00):
want to talk about is the one with the new
king of comedy. Right now in Hollywood is someone every
Australian should be very proud of, Aaron Chen. The episode
with Aaron Chen is really surprising. Aaron has an act,
a certain way of doing things. And so I watched
it thinking, I wonder if he's going to stay in
kind of character.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And there's a scene where they're having dinner where it
actually moves Sean to tears. And then it moved me
to tears as well. Just what an impact. And just
how much he admired Sean McAuliffe. Cannot recommend that. It's
on SBS on demand.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Really good.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Is that the show where he sits down to dinner
with Aaron's aunt and uncle?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
I've seen a clip of that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It looked incredible. Watch the show. It's really, really good.
And then a book I've just finished reading, which is brilliant,
A Waiter in Paris. That is outstanding. It is so good. Really,
really good. Cannot recommend that enough. I read it in
two days flat. Brilliant memoir. Young guy trying to become
a waiter in Paris. If you loved Anthony Bourdain's book,
Kitchen Confidential, it's as good or.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm going to whisper it. I think it was better.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Wow. You know what?
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I tried to listen to the audio book of Kitchen Confidential,
and the story is obviously incredible, but clearly Anthony Bourdain
has no interest in reading the audio book, and he's
so lackluster and has no energy.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
He's so bored in the audio book. Imagine being the
producers that were like, because doing an audio book, it
takes about three days. You better go two or three
lines without fluffing up. You have to go back. I
reckon none of them were brave enough to go, Anthony,
I think you just fluffed up.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Okay, now don't worry about Anthony, actually. I think the
way you pronounce it is probably the right way.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Don't bother Mr. Bourdain. No, I got it years ago.
And it actually sounds like he's taking the piss. It does, no.
Bloody hell, mate. I was interested in your story.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We're doing double thumbs up. Rio, you recommended a podcast
this week on the show. Obviously, we've been talking a
lot about the late, great Dolly Parton. And I listened
to it all day. Oh, no way.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Dolly Parton's America?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Fascinating. It's so interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, I honestly knew absolutely nothing about Dolly Parton until
this podcast came out in 2019.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's about six 40-minute, half-hour episodes. I burned through it
like an audio book. I couldn't stop listening to it
this week, and it's fascinating. I didn't know the true
story about I Would Always Love You. Yes. It's one
of the greatest love songs, but unlike any other love song,
it's not bitter. It doesn't have a hit-the-road-jack-or-screw-you moment in it.
It's a song of grace, of an ending of a
(07:29):
relationship with no bitterness or resentment, just of grace.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And she wrote it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
The guy that discovered her used to be like the,
he had a big country and Western TV show and
the young stars he discovered, he signed up and they
were in pretty dodgy ironclad contracts. Portner Wagner was the guy.
She said one day, I want to leave now. She
wanted to take a breakout from his camp and see
if she could go out into the world as a sound.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He went, no way.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
She went and wrote, I would always love you. as
a breakup song to him. She went into his office,
played it to him. It's actually giving me goosebumps, this story.
You know, in a couple of years' time, we're going
to see this scene on a movie, aren't we? Yes,
you can see it. She plays it to him. He says,
that's the greatest song you've ever written. And he lets
her go.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Years later, he sues her for a million and was
bitter and mean throughout his whole life to her.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Multiple lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
In this interview, in the podcast series, though, they keep
trying to push Dolly. They wanted to say how angry
she was at the way he treated her. And she
refuses to. And in the end, the interviewer says, you know,
and in the end, how did you get over his
unfair treatment to you? And she said, I forgave him.
She says the most important quality in life is forgiveness.
That's all there is.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Incredible woman of real grace.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I think what's amazing about the reaction to Dolly's death,
it's like, it's not just all the music and the
incredible output and writing over 3,000 songs. I must have
checked that on Google a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Maybe it's 300. That's a hell of a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Writing over 3,000 songs. The big thing that I think
has really affected us is her kindness and generosity.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
It's one thing.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's enough to become an amazing singer and writer and
do that over multiple decades, run your own business empire,
but when no woman had done that before. But to
actually create that imagination library, I donated money to it yesterday.
It's a charity she set up. that's helped over 320
million kids all over the world, is something, I think
(09:25):
she's the greatest living American person ever.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
100%.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think she reminds people, it must be quite sad
for America, I was thinking about this, she feels like
a bridge to an America that isn't there anymore. And
I don't want to say anything more, I do not
want to make it political because she wasn't about that,
but that's what it feels like. She was an embodiment
of what America dreamt it could be.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
There's a great line in the podcast about her being
the great unifier. And they talk about how at the concert,
there's drag queens, rednecks, lesbians, construction workers, gay guys, straight people.
There's everyone there and they're all getting along, all talking
to each other, having a great time. And I can't
think of any single other person who's had that effect.
(10:08):
especially this was in 2019 in a very divided America.
And to be able to do that and to live
with such wisdom and grace and to write incredible songs.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
In 2017, the New York Times asked their readers, what
can all Americans agree on? the number one answer was
Dolly Parton. Is that the greatest question and answer? Everything.
The one thing, they can't politically, but the one thing
they could all agree on was Dolly Parton. I think
it's incredible, just the reaction to her. And the last
(10:41):
thing that I want to say really about it this
morning is that there's still a reaction to her kindness, grace,
and generosity, and service. She definitely lived a life of services.
Those are qualities and things that, any of us can
have every single day. You don't need to have written,
I would always love you and Jolene in one day.
(11:01):
We can all be, I wrote it down the other day,
be more dolly. I think we can all be a
bit more dolly. Maybe we can take that into a
weekend to keep that spirit going.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
The Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Christian, knock off Friday. Our weekend highlight is our son
is playing his bass drum at the Gold Coast show
today and over the weekend. We're all very excited. He's
only 12 and a half years old. What age do
you stop doing the halves? Great question. You remember writing
in like Christmas cards and cards to like families and
(11:38):
your nanas and And even if you're writing off to
celebrities to get an autograph, you were always counting upwards.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Now you round down. Like, Pete will never tell you
his age. You're just going, I'm 40. And it tails off.
He won't put a number on it, sir. He's not
saying 43 and a half. Honour those years. Honour those
tree rings of your life, man.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But we count down. It's a sort of round down,
you know? Whereas when you were younger, you just on
a claw... Away from the 11 and more focusing on
halfway to 12.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Or for some of us, the three quarters even.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
11 and three quarters, sir.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I'm 12 this year. 11 months away, but this year.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
In all future correspondence now, listeners, we want to know
at a half or a quarter.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
I don't think I have the maths.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, I'm not sure. I'm thinking my fish oils yet.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
53 and a half.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh, I don't know. 33 and... Tell you it's gone quiet.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's the man who doesn't like to ever put a
number on it. Intern Pete.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Yeah, we've got to write it down and then sort
of carry the.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Catches in his throat, doesn't he?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Caught you up.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Actually, it makes me think he's way older than he
says at 42. It's like a Benjamin Button.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, he really is. I don't look at Charlie. Petey Button.
Now listen, you know, when we talk about knock-off Friday...
what we're looking forward to this weekend. You've got an
incredible weekend lined up. You're doing the Sydney Marathon. Good luck.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
And how are you feeling now?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Because yesterday after the show, we hired a master hypnotherapist
for Pete to help him focus a lot of the
sprinkler energy I experienced with him, working with him on Wednesday.
And I was concerned that you were going to leak, actually.
We all do this when we've got a big event on.
You can leak out a lot of energy that you
really need to preserve your so that you can use
(13:32):
it the right way on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
For sure.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
I think I might have started going crazy on Wednesday,
which it could have been a downward slope up until Sunday,
and there would have been nothing of me left come Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I doubt that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I think you're tapped into some source that none of
us know about.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
I didn't know what was going on, but a pretty,
pretty cool experience.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
If you want to hear it, download Wednesday's podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You'll hear it. Oh, no, don't. I can only describe
it as a garden sprinkler. Oh, but Times Reel and
I were looking at each other going, is there a
strange noise?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
You can watch a man descend into madness in real time,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, it's a hell of a sell for the podcast.
We should put that as a warning. Hey, this is
Christian here. Just a warning.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You're going to be listening to a man descending into madness.
In real time.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If that's your thing, press play.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Oh, God.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But anyway, how did it go? How did the hypnotherapy go?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Did it help?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Okay, very skeptical as a person. Like, I was very
sort of worried, like, could I even go under? Like,
I'm quite a hypo person in general, right? So I
was like, are you even going to be able to
get me there? I met him downstairs.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Very.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
gives an aura like just a completely different person that
I've never met before.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Like just he had a very calming.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Sort of vibe about him.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
If he's more frantic than you.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Would have been in all sorts of ways. Hey, it's working. Bing, bing.
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Yeah, and that's the thing because once he started as well,
I was a bit like, is this part supposed to
happen here?
Speaker 8 (15:02):
Is that all that sort of stuff? But in all honesty–
I feel super calm.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I feel zen.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You sound it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I have to be honest. I was just chatting to
Pete before the show. You sound incredibly grounded.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'd never been.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
I think I tried it years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It couldn't happen.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
But either I was hypnotized or I had the greatest
45-minute nanny nap of my life. Like I just woke
up feeling. You've had a lot going on this year.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And so maybe whatever happened, it's helped you because you
do sound a bit more grounded today.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
I feel grounded and I feel he's given me some
things to think about, like just in regards to when
I'm out there on the run, all that.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Sort of stuff.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Just like, you know, how to bring myself back if
things are getting out of control and all that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So what have you got? Breathing techniques?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Breathing, yes.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Any phrases?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Breathing is the key. Phrases... Oh, God, there was something,
but I can't remember now.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But he really, really maybe buried it deep in that subconscious.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
He did say that to me. He said, oh, do
you remember that? I said, oh, not really. And he goes, oh,
hopefully you'll remember the next few.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Days as.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Well. Sounds like you're going to have to have another
session to try and retrieve what he hypnotized you. He's
never worked with such a civilized mind. You don't remember
any of these words. I said them 50 times.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
He did.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
He repeated things over and over, and now I can't remember.
Joel Fogel, he is very good, though, from Melbourne.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
He's a very, I couldn't believe, I mean, just like
he put a light in my eye at the start.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh, yeah, medics do that, check someone's alive.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Or if they've got internal kind of brain damage.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I was definitely alive. I was spending three minutes, the
lights are not on with this dude. Better get the
old torch out. Hello?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bloody hell, he's barely responsive.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Yeah, look, I was watching back some of the footage
as well and he was, you know, doing lots of
things on his phones and I think it took him
a little longer.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Hook you an Uber. And wrap this up.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No, not dinner or something, but an incredible experience.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I really hope it helps. I hope it's useful, mate.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Thanks for the opportunity.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I loved it so much.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Question knocking off today, 2pm.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Can't wait to send off the last few days of
winter at a wine bar tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's from Emma. Is it the last few days of winter?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
It is.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
First day of spring on Monday.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You're kidding.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
We're back on Monday.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
We spring into spring.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That is genuinely great news. Emma, you're not going to
stay in that wine bar until Monday, are you? It
ain't coming out until spring. Oh, pucks a tawny fin
in there. Christian, can you ask Pete what pace is KM's?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
What does he want to average at? Pete, do you
have an ideal pace?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 10 (17:46):
So I've been given a very specific thing if I
want to get the three hours and 30 minutes.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
So I've got to hold four minutes.
Speaker 10 (17:52):
50 for the first 10 Ks, and then I can
move to four minutes and 55 seconds for the pucks.
Up until 36Ks and then do whatever I like.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Just run my head out.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
For the last few.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
That's a hell of a lick you're going to.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yeah, I've never really done that.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So fingers crossed. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Going to have an amazing race anyway. Yeah, that's going
to be good.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
The weather is looking perfect conditions for Sunday too.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So welcome everyone to Sydney, by the way.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Everyone's flying in again.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I thought I was joking again.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
How many welcomes?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Look at me, I'm going to call you Welcome Pete.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Yeah, no, I'm happy with that because even yesterday, more
tourists arriving, people getting their last little runs in.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's Sydney.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We have them here every day in Melbourne. They're coming
from all over the place.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
How do you know they're tourists?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He thinks every foreigner is a tourist.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
He's here for the marathon. So I'm a third generation immigrant.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Olivia, mate. Have you got your assets? This weekend, Christian,
we're going to a Friends mob-themed birthday party. How do
you know it's mob-themed? They might just be in the mob.
Patsy calls us every weekend. We keep saying, that's not
a theme, Pats. It's not cosplay.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's real play. Christian, this is Darren, my weekend highlight.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Going to see The Lion King stage show over the weekend.
It's an amazing show. Christian, knocking off at 4.30 today,
the highlight of the weekend. We're watching Carlton Flog, your beloved. Darren,
we don't need to listen to him. It's like crazy fog.
Get some hypnotherapy.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Patsy, what are you up to this weekend?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, I'm running my own marathon this weekend. I'll let
you know if anyone wants to sponsor me. I am
getting Audrey ready, packed off for camp, a big, massive
hiking camp. Another camp? No, this is like the same
camp I've been banging on about for weeks, Rio.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Sorry, sorry. We've all been on our own honestly with
this one. Just without the seven years with Chalice Theron.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
She brought the backpack home she's got to take.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You would think she's doing the Gobi Desert or something.
She's staying in a car park in Frankston.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
She's not. They're camping in the wilderness. She's terrified. But
she brought the pack home yesterday. It's about the size
of a shoebox she's got to put her clothes in,
and that's going to be very difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, they're giving a definitive sort of.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Small things that don't bring too much.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No, no. And we've got to go this weekend and
get some dehydrated food because we've got to take everything.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, God, I remember all that. Those packets of stuff.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Food, the whole lot.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So we'll go. I found some in the cupboard the
other day and I was home alone. That was dinner.
I was camping.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
That's just sad.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Doing it hard. Doing it hard.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Netflix.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Netflix and camp.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
So, yeah, so we'll be banging down the door at
Kathmandu and all those stores this weekend.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
See you at Anaconda.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Or anaconda, yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Either or, all.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Ria, what do you want to do this weekend?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
My friends have taken a year off to build their
own house.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh, no, you see those couples who clearly aren't together
anymore on the TV show that's called Grand Designs. Grand
Designs has broken up more relationships than any other thing
in modern life. If you see Kevin MacLeod outside the
front of your house, shut the door. We've got company
the wrong kind. MacLeod's here. Kevin's here. But Grand Designs,
(21:03):
you always see that last shot. where they're like six
feet apart. Well, yeah, you know, and then you can
tell that they've just had enough of each other. The
project always overruns.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
So we're going to go over there, try to save
their marriage. And we're doing a working bee with about
a dozen of our mates to go and help them.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Well, where were you a year ago? They could have
done more out six months ago, nine months ago. What
are you going to exactly help with moving a plant pot?
LAUGHTER Do the outdoor seating. You've waited out a year.
They must have been through hell. Where are our friends?
Our old mate Rios is here for the victory lap.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
But even the victory lap, I don't know what I
can offer.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I actually have no... Vibes. That's all.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Vibes.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
There's an Excel spreadsheet and it says like.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Cool refreshments.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Cool, yeah, maybe making some like.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sing them a jingle.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Nice.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Do you need any radio jingles made up?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
There you go. That's the extent. The vibe goes here.
Everyone needs to cheer squad. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Okay, that's all.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That's really all.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
I have no life skills, nothing to build a house without.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
You couldn't do that. We had to get old mate Jack.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
To trim the wood for your patio at the apartment.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I think that man went crazy trying to do that.
Do you remember that home reno? Every Monday, I dread
asking him. I had the weekend going, oh, he's working
on the reno. Your poor friend's taken a year off
to do that. What an amazing experience, though. Yeah, they've
actually done so well. Is it done?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
It looks incredible. They've done one of the slanted roofs
as well, like a sloped roof. It's majestic.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
But, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I'm just going to be hovering around while other people
work mostly, I think.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Sounds familiar to this show.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now we're all up to speed with the superheroes, the.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Multiverse, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Give me Odysseus. That's my multiverse. That's my kind of superhero.
A middle-aged man falling apart. Can't work out where he lives.
Somewhere around here somewhere. We've all had nights like that.
I don't know why I moved. Sorry, strong suburb. A
little bit dusty. This morning I want to talk about
(23:15):
your very useless superpower. I have one which the family
are always amazed by. I can pick up a packed
suitcase from my wife and my two daughters, and I
can tell you to a K roughly what that weight is.
Before we get the digital one, I go, this is 22.
The human scale. Yeah, I know. The human scale. I
(23:38):
could just work at the airport. Just picking up old
nunner's bags. 19, you're fine. Go on through. 24, you're
going to need the heavy bag tag. And you know it.
You knew it's over.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I would love to test this. It's the only time
my family are impressed. Wow. How does he do it?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
How do you think he developed such a superpower?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I think it's something you're born with.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think it's something you're born with. At my eulogy,
talk about this, please. Don't mention the radio show. Talk
more about the human scale.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
We'll weigh your casket. We need you there.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Do you know what? We should test it out one
day on the show. Let's pack some suitcases. Let me
just pick them up. It is so useless.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It only works really within the house.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Because at the airport, you've got all the scales everywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, we have to stream this live for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Oh, shoot, shoot. Can you speak to KO Sports? Start
to negotiate the rights for that. Great idea. Speak to
sales right now. Stop working on the one-pager. Patsy, what's
your use of superpower?
Speaker 6 (24:41):
I have an uncanny knack of always finding a shopping
trolley that isn't locked. Because I've never got a gold
coin anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's actually useful.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I always sniff them out. There's always one in the
turnstile that has no lock on it. And I always
get it, which is just as well. I never have
a gold coin. And I always, I get those little
trolley tokens, but I always lose them.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Or I leave them in another bag.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's a sign you're an adult, isn't it? You've got
those tokens.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
But I always get one. And off I go into
the supermarket.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Hey, life hack with that. If you are really struggling,
there are always, always free ones. You know where you
put them next to the cars in the car park?
Because everyone just chucks them in there.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
They just throw them in there and leave.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Maybe like pants.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Not a returner.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
If you sniff around there, you'll always find a loose
shopping trolley.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh, you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You're right. By the way, how smug as a grown-up
do you feel when you take your bag in?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You turn up with that bag.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Bag, bag. Yeah, you've got the bag within the bag, actually,
because it could be a two-bagger. It could be a
three-bagger shop list. Another use of scale, I can look
at shopping lists and go, this is a three-bagger. Oh,
that's very useful. This is a three-bagger, Sarah. I'm going
to take four just so I'm stress-free shopping, but this
is not a one-bag situation.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I always take an extra one because it's the worst.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And then if I see this is a four or five-bagger,
I'm like, I'm not doing that. I've got no time
for this beer, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
That's on an online order.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Online orders. Online, I only go over four. It's an
online order. Let some of the young kids struggle with
this young man's game there.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Patsy, what is your Chemist Warehouse product of the week?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Mine this week, I can't believe the amount of stuff
that Chemist Warehouse has.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Believe it, Pats.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Oh, my goodness. Every time I go, there's always something
different there. And this week, I found that they have Clarins,
which is a beautiful skincare range.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I've got my wife loves Clarins.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
I've used it since I was sort of like in
my 20s, and they have Clarins now. They have some
of the Clarins stuff, which is just the most beautiful
sort of botanical foundations and stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Anyway, I'm using– It just smells– I love the Clarins stuff.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
My wife has always loved that.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's like a body mist.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Oh, yes, the fragrance.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
It's a classic. The red bottle.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know that one?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Yes, in the big round bottle.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
No, I've always used their Beauty Flash Balm, which is.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
And it shows.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Am I growing today?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Whenever you see Pats, she's been embalmed.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Don't say that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
No, sorry, balm.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Sorry, I must have misheard her.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, just getting ready for the big off. The next journey.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
No, I use this Beauty Flash Balm every morning. It's
in my makeup kit. And what it does, it just
gives you, you put it on top of your moisturizer.
You can even mix it in with your foundation, like
your makeup and stuff. And it just gives you a
nice cool boost.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
You write this down, Ria, mix it in with your foundation, mate,
because I notice sometimes you don't mix that foundation.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I put it under the moisturizer.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
It doesn't really matter. You can go under or over.
Proper way to have a cup of tea, proper way
to do that foundation.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
But it just gives you a bit of a pick-me-up
in the morning, and it's nice and cool when you're
really tired. So mums will know this. It's a classic.
It's Beauty Flash Balm, and it's so cheap.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Oh, it's sexist.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What about us dads? Well, yeah, Chris sometimes uses it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I need a flash balm.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Trust me, I need a flash balm in the morning.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, you'd love it. In fact, all the team would
love it because it gives you a nice little pick-up
in the morning. You know, it wakes you up a bit.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I'd say the team are 20 years younger than us. Yeah.
They don't need it yet. No, I used to use
it in my 20s. Water's fine for them. They don't
need anything. That's why I look so good now.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
They've got that unlimited creatine being produced in their collagen
oozing out their pores. It's the rest of us dry
lizard people that need the balm. Leave our balm.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Leave some balm for us.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Leave some balm for.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Us, young'uns.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
You won't be all scaly if you use Clarence Beauty Flash.
Trust me, I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
All right, these useless superpowers are brilliant. Thank you very
much for sending them in. This is a great one. Christian,
my useless superpower. I can get the lettuce in the
bag within two seconds.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You know when you're just trying to squish it back
in and it's arms like, no! Don't get in there.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's exactly how it goes. Christian, my use of superpower,
changing toilet rolls. It doesn't matter where I am. It's
always me who is the person.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Same here. Change the loo rolls. My house, my sister's house,
my best friend's house, my parents' house, friend's house.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Public toilets. It's always me. Good morning, Brian and Sydney.
This is the show. We'll say good luck to Pete Rio,
I had a similar conversation with my group of mates.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We've been helping them move house.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Simply providing lunch and reminding people to drink water can
go a long way on these working bee weekends.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
That is what I'll do.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Christian, if you have a friend with a 3D printer,
they can print you off trolley keys.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Anthony, I don't know what kind of guys you're hanging
out with.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I don't have anyone in my friendship group who has
a 3D printer.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And I don't think any of.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Our listeners will. I don't know if we've got anyone
listening who's got a domestic. We have one here.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
We have one at the radio station.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
At home, you're not going to have a 3D printer.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Why does a radio station need a radio printer?
Speaker 10 (29:41):
I don't know, but one day I needed a guitar
pick and we could not find anywhere.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
So the tech went and made one for me.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
What would you need with a guitar pick?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
I was playing the guitar.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Good answer.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
An actually good answer.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Touche. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
What yet unknown bit is.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Working for us around the corner that is Pete with
a guitar?

Speaker 2 (30:10):

Speaker 4 (30:11):
Podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Big weekend. Sidney Mouthen and our man, Intern Pete, is running. Yes.
He's talking to himself live in his station toilets right now.
It's part of his hypnotherapy he's at.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Pete, back in the room.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Back in the room. Here, here. So yesterday we got Pete,
a very good hypnotherapist that we've used before on the show.
If you're interested, he's a master hypnotherapist, Joel Fogel. You
can find him on The Grams. Joel Fogel, hypnotist. How
did you get on? Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Do you feel different? You sounded today a bit more chilled.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Yeah, definitely more chilled. Felt it.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
I was very sceptical because some people call me a bit.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
Of a hypo sort of person, a bit hyperactive.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Who the hell? Who is who?
Speaker 8 (30:52):
Quite strange.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
So I did worry, would I be able to get
there or not? And I thought I was under probably
for a few minutes, but it was about 45 minutes
that I was actually under.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
And he also said this, he goes, you went very,
very deep. Like as in like, we looked at the
footage back as well and I'm just slouching, like just
fully asleep, but just in this deep, I mean, you've
had it done before. It was just, I could hear
what he was saying and repeating things and bits and pieces.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
But you're somewhere else, aren't you?
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Totally somewhere else indeed. So, and he's very, it was just.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Being out of this world.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I wish I could be hypnotized every night to go
to sleep because actually you, one thing you get right,
is a very nourishing, like the greatest nap ever. You
come out feeling very, very different. You actually experience, oh,
this is who I'd be if I was fully rested.
I've always wondered what that would feel like. It's a
shame you just can't have that five or six nights
a week. And it's a shame for the people around you.
(31:47):
I might hire Joel to sit in a chair in
the corner of my bedroom every night.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Hector ties me, Joel.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It would be so good.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
I just think, yeah, I feel so fresh.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
I know, again, I do apologise for Wednesday's show.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
That was a very different theatre.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You don't need to. I was just very, very great.
There's no point you needed whatsoever. You've actually got a
big thing going on. To be fair, you've had a
real life quake in your show. Obviously, some of you
will appreciate, you know, intern Pete.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
How many years were you with Carl and Jackie O?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Almost 13 years.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Long, long time. Long time to be with a very big, crazy, troubled,
radio show and you know now we've picked you up
on the free transfer market and happy to provide like
uh i guess it's like a lot of those wildlife
sanctuaries a former performing tiger yeah yeah that's right now
doesn't need to perform anymore actually a bit though actually
(32:39):
a bit though pete it is.
Speaker 10 (32:40):
No no you're absolutely i was thinking about this after
this yesterday because it was probably the most relaxed i've
actually been all year because it has been i'll be
honest with you absolute turmoil like yeah um just from
a work perspective, the craziest year of my life ever.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
And I'm really happy in this new home that I've
got here.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like I've never been.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
We love having you as part of our family, Pete.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
We do.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I really love being here. So thank you so much.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
And just all the opportunities and the support you're giving
me for Sunday's marathon is just.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I think it's an incredible thing to do.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
And here's what I want. All the brights is out
this morning. I want us to be with Pete every
step of the way. He is going to be running
it alone. It's an incredible thing to do. And all
the other 40,000 people are doing it, uh, this Sunday.
And then in October, we've got the big Melbourne Marathon
as well. It's an incredible thing to watch someone and
cheer them on. So what I want us to do
is we're dedicating every single K to one of you.
(33:30):
I think this will help motivate Pete. It breaks it
down a K at a time of the 42 and
it personalises it. You know, you are part of this
family of ours that we're building up every single morning
on the show, The Bright Side of the Dial. So
I think it'd be a really nice thing to help
Pete is that every single K that he's about to start,
It's somebody's name somewhere. It might be a family. And
(33:52):
I think it makes it closer to your heart to
remind you, that you're part of something bigger, Pete. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
And, yeah, again, good luck to everyone.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I'm going to name all them during the run, whether
it's a scout group or I think there was Spat,
someone called Spat the Cat or something.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Splat. Splat, sorry. He's waiting for you at K13, mate.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I cannot wait for him.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Don't get that wrong. You know I'm upset, Splat the Cat,
or you'll be splat at the end of the race, mate.
I know.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
I don't want to sound fussy, but can we have
no hard-pronouncing names, please, because I don't want to muck
up anyone.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Just white people, please. Oh, no, no. No.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
No, there's funky foreign names.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And you're running for One Nation.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Aren't you?
Speaker 7 (34:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Just Wayne's, Daryl's, please.
Speaker 8 (34:31):
You've taken my words out of context.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Well, you said it, mate. I mean, yeah, you're right.
I did too. My bad. Maybe he needs to get
you back with Joel. Sorry, Hasan. I'm not going to happen.
Can you make him a bit less racist, please?
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (34:44):
We will.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Gladly take it. So would you take Christian, or is
that too much of a hard name for you? No,
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It's fine. He gets my name wrong sometimes as well.
I called you Christian the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
There's so much.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
In turn, Pete, doing the Sydney Marathon this weekend, and
we're dedicating every single one of the 42Ks. Christian, can
I have K3? I'm a volunteer also for the Sydney Marathon.
I want to sponsor it, dedicate it for all the
fellow volunteers. We have to start shifts at 3 a.m.
to get there in time to make sure the marathon
runs smoothly for everyone on the day. Kylie, thank you
(35:23):
very much for what you're doing. Look out for Pete. Now, Christian,
the marathon is actually 42.195 Ks. Can I have the
last 195 metres? Yes, Stephen.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Moonhole.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Okay. Good. That's going to be maybe the hardest bit. Yes.
195 metres.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
He's struggling with that.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
No, no. I've actually worked out where.
Speaker 8 (35:51):
It's from Alan Jones's house to the finish line.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Not the name to mention today. Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Yeah, just that building there near the Aria restaurant. Probably
should have just said Aria restaurant.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Aria restaurant.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Oh, well. You'll even learn. Okay, so we're giving away
K's on his, the hypnotherapy didn't work. So a lot
of you got very different reasons for why you want
to dedicate a K. And this is a lovely one
from Sonia and My best friend went through this the
last couple of years with their dad. Christian, I just
(36:24):
sponsored and turned PM off my dad, Roger, who is
late-onset Alzheimer's. And just so that people can know that
exercise is one of the best ways to beat Alzheimer's.
It is like 45%. It reduces your chance of getting
Alzheimer's by around 45% regular exercise. It is really important. Christian,
it's heartbreaking and it's such an insidious disease. It is.
(36:45):
My best friend just went through this the last couple
of years ago. The more we can shine a light
on how to avoid and best push back, which is
why I'd love if Pete can dedicate a K to
my great dad, Roger. Absolutely can. Sonia, I'm sending love
to you and your dad as well. Pete, you all
right there? It's Roger. Roger.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
Easy to pronounce.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Perfect. Got it.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Jane, let's go to Jane here. You don't make it easy,
does it?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
It can be easy. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Okay, let's just turn it off for a bit.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Jane, the morning... I didn't do that earlier. It's always
an option. You're like a subs bench. Doesn't have to
be out and over for the whole game. Jane's on
the line.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Jane, good morning.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Jane? Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Jane, you want to dedicate a K? Which one would
you love, Jane?
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I'm happy with any K because I have never, ever
done a marathon, and this way I can say that
I've done a marathon.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
LAUGHTER Then I might grab one as well.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Great idea.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Jane, have a lovely weekend. Thanks for calling me.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Okay, bye.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Let's go to John.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Good morning, John.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yes, 18 is my good luck number, and I wish Pete,
intern Pete DePeller, I think that's his name.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It is. Yeah, well done.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yes, sir. All the luck in the world. I mean,
barely any of us can walk 10 Ks, let alone
run 42 Ks in the prep to do it. Representing
our favorite radio station. Best of luck.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
He's our representative.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Thank you very much, John. Lovely words to have a
lovely weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Lovely chilling words. I'll take that to my grave. No,
my bed tonight. Book me in to see Joel ASAP.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Can you? Saskia, good morning.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Good morning, Saskia.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Welcome to the show. And which K would you want
dedicated to yourself?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Well, it's actually for my husband, and I would love
the 20th kilometre for two reasons. Firstly, it's about to
be our 20th wedding anniversary.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Congratulations.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
But my husband, thank you. My husband was due to

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Brilliant work. All right. So next week is about one thing.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
And I really want us to celebrate and elevate what
is the most underwhelming event of the year, Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
It's a non-event.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
This weekend, as you're going around doing your shopping and
stuff like that, you'll notice the lackluster nod. It's a
nod to Father's Day. You know, I said I was
in a clothing store this week, and they had a
table for Father's Day gifts that was three T-shirts.
Speaker 9 (44:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Cream, brown, and black. These are normal T-shirts just shoved
over here.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Showing what?
Speaker 1 (44:49):
The emotional range of dad? Cream, brown, black. That's the
emotional range of an Aussie dad.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
No, we deserve more. You go into any of the supermarkets.
Father's Day cards. They're right by the people offering you
piano lessons and guitar lessons. There's only ever two choice
of cards. The old cricket bat or the old leather ball.
That's it. That's it. We say no, not on this show. Dads,
I've got you. We're going to look after the dads
(45:15):
next week because we are searching for... Australia's toughest dad, mentally, physically, sexually,
and spiritually. I said one of those just to wake
up the Chuckle Sisters because we were talking to each other.
Then they just stopped in their tracks. It's a new
thing I'm going to do once a show. They're listening now.
Head to the gold website, dot com dot au. Register
(45:39):
your dad. And dads, nominate yourself. You probably have to.
Head to thegoldwebsite.com.au. Register your dad or dad. Nominate yourself.
And dads, you will not be underserved by this show. Dads,
we see you. Thanks to Harvey Norman. Great price. Fire
up the grill for a Father's Day feast at Harvey Norman.
(46:01):
Shop hot deals on barbecues in-store and online. Up for
grabs for Australia's toughest dad, the ultimate. Gasmate Apollo 4-4
burner barbecue. It's what we're talking about. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
This is great.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
This is high-level dadding. Why wander out there and turn
it on?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Get your phone out.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
Call your steak.
