Speaker 2 (00:18):
Got anything Good?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Good Morning Patsy, Good morning Boys, Good morning, produce a Rio, Hello,
Good morning Alex Cullen. Morning. As I was walking to
the building today, someone had written on one of the
brick pillars outside in chalk, be the best part of
somebody's day. And I stopped to talk about and thought
about it. Right, be the best part of somebody's day.

(00:48):
And as much as I hope people really enjoy today's show,
I pray we're not the highlight of their day to day. No,
I mean that it would make me sad if someone
had such an average day after us we were the highlight.
I love doing this and I know that when we
do it very well, it can really cheer people up
in the morning. That's the goal every day that we
will have. But it actually made me sad. Better days.

(01:09):
I hope we are not the best part of their day.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I hope it gets better from here.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, yes, I'm not sure we can put that on
a poster to aspirationally sell the show to Australia. The
best was get off a good start, but I hope
it doesn't peak here. It's on you after that, Yeah
it is. You know, we like the you know, the
the Space Shuttle has those thrusters at the site and

(01:34):
we get you off off to a flying start. But
after that you've got to go into all but yourself,
find your own parabellum. Parabillum. Yeah, otherwise you can't leave
the Earth's atmosphere without the parabellum straights. Okay, don't google that.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
That doesn't sound right.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
But I just don't be the best. Be a pleasant
part of somebody's day. That's all I can do. That's all. Perhaps,
are you a Monday winter or a loser?

Speaker 4 (02:06):
I am definitely the.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Worst part of somebody's day. No.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
I was just thinking, when you said, you know, what
did you what was the word with pete para.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
I don't think even he knows.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's a certain trajectory that things have to come into
and out of to leave the Earth's orbits.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
I was thinking, don't google it because you'll come up
with peraneum.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Because a.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Similar Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well that's good though, because if we have a lower
threshold We've got people having a great day after us,
so we have actually given them a great gift. So
when we when you hear a bad show, that's by design,
thank us part the radio and go. They know what
they were doing, but they didn't want to be too great. Yes,

(02:55):
don't be too great every show.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
It should be.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Greatness.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yes, yesterday I had to Oh, no surprise, I had
to go to Kmart. I had to return during the Monday.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Ah, right, it's your Monday.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Is Mondays is a big day. I'm exhausted today because
I do tend to run around. I do my bakery
run on a Monday. I tend to go to caym
out if I need to on a Monday because it's quiet.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
It came out weekly.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
For me.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
It's like a once three months.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
May hops love it? Well? Can you just ask us
if we need anything, because then I can lessen out
my sort of quarterly visits. There coat hangers, I don't
I need some of those nice wooden coat hangers. And
I've recently got and says I've got the sea through
thermal mug came a while ago, right, and so your
tea lasts longer.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh wow, better than like mine? Like the tin ones
is a glass, I can't say it.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's a glass.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Oh wow, that's fancy. It's glass.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah it is. Yeah, well it's fancy. It's just not
exactly the clean it's glass mug. Oh, stranger in town.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
And it keeps it warmer. You're fine than other sort
of kid. Yeah, it does three times, three times.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, it's like a parabellum be the best part of
somebody else's day, guys, O.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Caase anyway, So I got there and there's a park
right out the front, and every time I go there
on a Monday, it's always free.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I bet it is. I bet the staff of a
meeting going just make it easier for it's a most
loyal customer. If you want to hit target, you get
her in here as quickly as possible. Day walkers out
the way the back, some of them can't walk. I
don't care give it on the disabled base.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
No, I never do that.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But it's brilliant.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
It's right at the front, and it's just like it
knows I'm coming. It's like here she comes. Everyone clear
the way. It's fantastic because on the way home on
a Monday, when you're doing all your jobs, you just
want to do it, get out, get home and have
a nap. So it's brilliant.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
So what were you taking about? I'm curious to that
turning tonight.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
I bought some lovely Gingham looking bathers with your new
season and don't fit, so I had to get another song.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I can't take because that means you have tried them
all and not put them back out on the rack.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Are they underwear?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You've got to be charging people less returned bathers. They
need to have like a discount right for those returns.
But oh my word, there's a hair in this one.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
No, no, there's protocol in return There is, one of
which is where where your nickers when you're trying new bathies?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
They don't know that, they don't know. Yeah, what are
you going to do? Take a photo evidence with today's newspaper.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I would never ever take baths back that had touched
my beerskins.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's the past promise. Yes. In fact, Patsy, why didn't
you write that up? Was tomorrow slogan to replace today's
be the best part of.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Christian, I like be the best part of somebody else's day.
Going to try and make that my mantra. Maybe we
need a morning mantra. Oh Like at the top of
the show, just reading that this morning permeated in some level,
I thought, it's nice to have some intention. Yes, you know,
I know we all know this, but in the morning,
you just want to get going, don't you. You haven't
got time to do all the journaling he's supposed to do,

(06:28):
ice showers, hot saunas, work out for an hour and
all this stuff where you read like billionaire and you know,
successful billionaire breaks this morning down, you know, like sounds
like such hard work. A billionaire three am. It don't
work out in his home gym. Just nice if you go,
you're a billionaire your home gym. It says time and

(06:48):
the rest of us just have to get up and
get going as easily to glide into the pool of
life as as possible, isn't it exactly? So maybe we
need a morning mantra top of the show, some phrase
that pays for us on a soul level. Like it.
So I provided today, Patsy, you're going to do tomorrow's one. Okay, Alex,

(07:09):
You'll take Thursday Friday your Friday. That's a good one. Okay,
are you a Monday win or loser?

Speaker 4 (07:16):
I am a loser.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
I'm coming off the back of you know, one of
the best weekends of our life. We bought a house
on Saturday. In Sunday, we were just basking in the
glow of it. We were so excited.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
First the first place together. It's incredible news and beautiful
home as well.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Yeah, we were so excited, telling everyone so much fun.
And then the deposit that we had to put down
that didn't get put through the bank until like the
first business day, which is Monday.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
So really, you know.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
The reality of it.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yesterday I was.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Just on my phone and then you just get a
little notification from the bank. App Oh yeah, this might
just been like the biggest transaction now, Brocasses, we own you,
just like your blood runs cold when you say, go,
oh my god, that's a lot of money one in one.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's one of the biggest commitments in life. It probably
is the biggest one. Yeah, yes, there's no And also
I wasn't joking yesterday. Carefree Rio, you've killed him, Rio Rio.
Even people say to me kind of lovely energy, that
guy's got mortgage, he's got no house. He's got no kids,
don't like us drinking today, the mortgage dress, kids, mortgage stress, worn.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Out by life?

Speaker 1 (08:40):
What have you done? I know what you were age three.
You've now walked Willy into our page compounds. You were
free range, Rio, You're out there that big Farmersville away
the cage. Yeah, what have you done?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Every time I think about the number or it really
it's just a number, is right?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Actually? Because actually, even if you're paying wrench, you're still
paying the same. You know, you're paying a monthly thing to.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
True, that's true, but you don't have that huge Stop.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Thinking about that. It won't help you sleep at night.
It won't. Oh, I said to Riya, how was your
night last night? Really did an online course about claiming expenses? Carefrey.
Rio's gued he used to be drinking on a Monday night.
Now you're doing an online course about faking expensive, sorry,

(09:33):

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Is it expense?

Speaker 3 (09:39):

I'm now a Monday winner, Alex, you are Monday win
or a loser.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
I'm a bit of a loser. I went to Ali
yesterday and I hate these things. Whoever had the idea
to put these things in trolleys? I just want to
run over them with my trolley.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You're right there, a nightmare, those things.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
You've got to put a coin in to get a trolley.
So I get to Ali, I'm like, oh, I'm set,
I've got I haven't got any kids with me. I
left Max at home. He's four with with Bonnie. Of course,
my wife not at home by himself, but.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Es and I haven't got a coin. I can't get one.
One who has one?

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Apparently you can buy one from Alie. You can go
and get one of those little coins, but then you've got.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
To buy you're buying something. You're going to use their
wonky trolley exactly.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
You've got to get in a queue to get that
little coin. So I'm going I've gone. What am I
going to do here? I've got I'm looking at the baskets.
There's no way all this food is going to fit
into those baskets. I'm gonna have to go across the
road to Wolworth's. I get over there, Will Worst has
got the same day.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's a nightmare. So who is taking these wonky as trolleys?

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Won't anyone want peably year? Let them have it. Yes,
you're making billions, it's going to be okay with these.
They don't even work very well. Let the crazies have
a trolley twenty a year. The rest of us don't want.
We don't really want to. We have to use these
one k trolleys. It's not a desirable thing to leave
with one of these. Remember one that's always pulling over

(14:26):
to the lamb. That's right, Yes, I think that's what
hook turns were invented through shopping trolleys. Man, they're just
reminded me.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
I saw one in Sydney and someone had got a
light or something and burnt it.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
He melted all the plastic around it.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
I'll show you.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
You can buy these things that sit on a key
ring which is like a hackable thing that is a
universal fake coin. Yes, my mother in law had one
right when she passed away last year. My wife said
to me, is anything you'd like of my mum's it's
now the good time. That thing.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
A bag.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're only fourteen minutes in to today's broadcast on already
a listener has first pointed me maybe two three times
a year I get an email from something that goes good.
Tell they're just in a stinky mood. They go first point?

Speaker 4 (15:23):
How many points are they?

Speaker 1 (15:26):
David? Is that guy first points? And it's never There's
no They're so angry, there's no time for customer or
polite Hello. First point each trolleys over three hundred dollars each. Oh,
how were these supermarkets cost with that? With their multi
billion dollar profits? Will they be okay? Tens of billions?
Second points. Most supermarkets are forced by the council to

(15:47):
install coin locks due to illegal dumping on the trolleys.
One of the first jobs I had when I was sixteen,
I was a trolley guy. Oh wow, so I would
have to wear a high visibility jacket wander around my
local town and finding these trolleys and bringing them back
to the supermarket and then going out for hours in the.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Rain and cold like a bounty hunters.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, pretty unglarious job. And there was a small river
where we used to live, and a lot of the
Saturday I just be in that river getting trolleys up.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
What a what a gig?

Speaker 5 (16:20):
It is the worst job.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
The love his worst job.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Used to call himself a mobile equipment chan.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
And also people judge people like me and Chris used
to do that job. You know. I would see teachers
that used to teach me and they would look at
me like, yeah, that's about right, best part of somebody
else's day. It's a job on him. They would pat
me on the head and that would be my job
getting them out there. So first point yourself, David Christian.

(16:48):
I make those trolley keys to unlock the trolleys. Do
you want some for you and the team?

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And then I'd love someone can if there's any extra
we can give these always this amazing prices. Yes, I
mean they really are needed, but are they the ones
going to want to check that? Go on the key ring?
Otherwise you'll forget You'll get the supermarket, go it needs
to be something you have on your person every single day. Christian. Yes,

to fame. I didn't have time to call in, but

you to verify your identity. Why would anyone try to
pay my bills? How many of these have bicycles in.

Some of them are tricky too, like.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Do you know by the way the way they are designed,
it's not designed to test it with human by can
we actually complete the puzzle? It's on the movement of
the mouse. The AI behind that to text whether we're
human or not, because apparently there's a unique pattern that
only humans would do it that way. Really, Yes, listen
to some podcasts about it that I found bizarrely interesting

(23:50):
and it just pulled me in good fact, Yes it is.
Now you think they're not trying to work out whether
you know where the fire hydrants are. It's the movement
of the mouse Partly. Humans will always have a preferential
way to do that than a bot. A bot would
probably find an easy way to do it. I don't
know what the weather estimates is. Just like you just
for a couple of seconds, aren't you know it's a

(24:13):
am I smarter than they think, Like this guy's a
genius because there was a tip of a fire. It
is always thigh hydrants, bicycles, traffic lights, traffic Yeah, that's it.
Those are your Those are the main ones, all right,
small thing, big rage rea, what's it for you?

Speaker 6 (24:29):
The worst item in the kitchen to wash up is
the bloody sieve or the colander.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Does the pasta can sometimes get claggy in those, the
micro in the little holes.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
Anything starchy, so pasta potato, you want to put it
in the dish washer, but you can't because it takes
up too much.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Like prime real estate.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
A couple of plates could go there, a bowl, yes.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
And you can't. Try blasting it out with hot water.
Doesn't do it.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, no, no. That stuff is like it's cleaning on its
dear life.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
And then you try to like wipe it and wipe it,
but it just moves it around.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
And in all my life, I've never figured out how
to wash the bloody sieve or the do you know what?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
It feels like it's twinned with another monster in the kitchen,
the greater it's a larger version of it, but the
same thing. You're actually scared to clean it. Yes, you
have to do it so you're almost tickling it.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yes, And it's like the little pieces of grass and
they're just going.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
To be stuck there on the inside.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
How many of us good people have lost skin to
the greater It's the scariest thing. I think. It's like that,
you know out in prisons they have the daddy on
the wing. It's a daddy in the kitchen. Is that
you're like, you touch that thing and you've got to
treat it with real respect, otherwise it will take you out.
You overgrate that cheddar or parmesan.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Watch out, you get too close to the nub.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
It takes no prisoners. You're well, how are we meant
to clean a sieve?

Speaker 4 (25:52):
I have no idea? How do you sound really confident?

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Your li just rinsed after I've enough enough? What are
you using it for? Like pushing stuff through it?

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Sometimes?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Like potato pactually thinks that you're misusing a sieve over
call a five man in Australian rate. He's not two degrees.
She was like, what are you pushing through it? What
you know? I mean shenanigans?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Are they?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
What are you pushing through it?

Speaker 5 (26:18):
Shampoos potato.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yes, I get it.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
But if you just like rinsing your peas and stuff,
I don't cheese.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
And stuff, but even herbs like your parsley, your coriander,
they get stuck in the little.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Holes as well.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Leave it on your sink for three days before you
know that.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Well, no further question.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Perhaps she's just expertly cross examined you. That's why Penny drums, Alex.
I'll see if you a small thing be great. Well.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
Living in a new city, you tend to use Google
Maps a lot, and when you find yourself in a tunnel,
what happens to Google Maps?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
You are terrified the tunnels. This is like the second
week running. You'd be wiring scared of a tunnel. Do
you think we're in switching inside the matte Horn tunnel.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
One of my daughters hats Ta, hates them. She's like
so scared that we're going to break down in one
and then we're going to we're gonna get out there and.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Now that's spreading to you. It's a contagion affair. But
like we culins are terrified all these tunnels of Melbourne.
But you get in there and it just completely like
wipes out. It stops like you can't go anywhere. There's
not an abundance of no roundabounts down there are little vintages.
You can get lost in all hamblets. There's an exit
coming out of there. Which exit am I going to take?

(27:32):
It's just going to be upon me so quickly. Which
one am I going to get? I don't know? Is
that the left one is of the right one?

Speaker 7 (27:37):
And all of a sudden, it just like the technology
kicks in again really quickly when you come out, and
then you just forced to make a snap decision.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Maybe you're gonna have to go to JB Hi Fi
or jac On gets this booster on top of some
kind of connection. Have you got a tunnel but stuff?
We thought of everything? Or the labyrinthine tunnels of Melbourne, Patsy,
what's it for you?

Speaker 5 (28:02):
When I went back to my car yesterday, there was
a guy parked next to me and he was outside
of his car, leaning on the driver's side door, having
a cigarette, which is fine, it's a free world. But
then when I got in my car, I can't stank
of nicotine like.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Real, No, you have your windows? No I didn't.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
It just permeates through every single surface, so I had
to drive home with the windows.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I did permeates. That poor guy you must have get
did you give him a hell of a look?

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Well, yeah, you're not doing your health any good.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
And babe stank up my car and I doesn't mean
when he reads so that would have been his last cigarette.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Man smoking it's gross though, Like, don't do it around
my car or anyone else's for that.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Like you said at the start, this apparently it's a
free world of the world that is very much not free,
all right, And listeners, what you're shoving through those sieves?
Are you mucking around with that sieve? Okay, please use
it appropriately, all right? Text me now then, small thing,
big rage. That's if you're not on a tunnel.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
And judging by the o the response coming in, I'm
now apparently also doing a how to clean a colender
and a sieve. Thank you real emails as well, not
just text. Let me take this home read it.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I love this from Amy Christian. I'm with Patsy Rinse
as soon as you use it, but for stubborn stuff,
sit it in boiling water for ten minutes. Everything will
come off with a scrubbing brush. Never capslock. Never put
a sieve or colender in the dishwasher. Oh what not?
It acts like a net, catches all the grott good

(29:48):
use of.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
The world rots, and we'll.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
End up dirtier than when it went in. Cheers and
have a great day, you Amy, You have a great
day as well, and please be the best part of
somebody else's day. All right, small thing, big rage supermarket
car park when people returning, the trolleys and the trolley
bays mix together the small large ones in the same lane.
Who are these people? Tell you they are terrorists? Arrest them,

(30:15):
put them in a super max prison. I say, locking
up's too good for them. Richard Christian. My grandmother taught
me to turn the sieve. Oh no, we're back to sims.
I thought I was moving on. Back we go. My
grandmother taught me to turn this sieve upside down and
put a spoon over it. The water rolls off, the
spoon cleans the sieve. A mouse trap game is.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
The sieve mital Ah, Yes, I've got like a middle
columner and then the middle mesh one.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, fine, yeah, yeah, Christian being a chef, best way
to clean a sieve is with hot water and a
high pressure spray. But Darren Chef, we haven't got that
great big nozzle chef dash, You've got that, but we
haven't got that big nozzle fit. You know you pull
down like a microphone in a boxing ring. We don't

(31:06):
have that. This is cam small thing. Big rades. When
you go to a concert and you get there early,
you get a good seat, and then suddenly the other
people in the front of you arrive and they're wearing
a big hat or buffy hair blocking Yeah, yeah, like
a stovepipe hat. You know, they do gains in New York,
the big old Star. I hate that this happens every time, Christian.

(31:27):
I say, small thing, but it drives me nuts when
people have their windscreen wipers going too fast. Never ever
looked at someone else's going. This only needs intermittence.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
It's the worst part of my day.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
But as you start flashing them, hey hey, hey, hey,
slow it down. Yeah, slow it down. My man, these
up on it. I'm stuck in traffic, Christian watching their
wiper blades go crazy when it's not necessary. It's one
of my favorite ones.

Speaker 9 (31:59):
Of the year.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Small thing, big rays slow walkers. No matter where you are,
there's someone walking slowly. It trives me nuts. I don't
know why. It really does need speed lanes like you
have in fo It. You're supposed to have them freeways,
have a slow lane over to left and then there's
an overtaking lane. Russ. You want to get a bit
of a wigan on Christian when you spend fifteen minutes,
just does drive everybody matter trying to remove the huge,

(32:22):
sticky laye from something that you want to rap as
a gift. After all that sweat, tears and a broken Now,
the last bit that remains on the item is the
bit you were trying to get rid of. It's the price.
It's the most stubborn part of it. It's like it's
super glued on there. Christian small thing, big rage. People
that cue at the cinema SNAPMRM. They've got a bunch
with them of sometimes small, sometimes big people, and so

(32:42):
they wait until the register and then they start wondering
what they might Oh yeah, right, there's a six foot
high menu. Right, look at it while you're queuing all
of the food and get out the way.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
And it's like chop tops or popcorn.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, that's it one. Yeah, Christian's simon here, small thing,
big rage. When you have a food packet and it
says tear here or across open it, you do, it
only goes a quarter of the way, right. It's like
the Indiana Jones Bridge across the canyon suddenly gives a way.
You don't get all the way across those perforations there,
and or even sometimes you can't even especially if it's

(33:19):
a hotel to hotel sort of sachet of ketchup on mayonnaise.
They you can't even never, you can never get those
small ones open.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yes, And why do you even need to do the rip?
Why can't they just make it pre ripped for us?
Why do we have to Why do we have to
do it?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I hear My small thing big rage is about the ATMs.
We don't really use them that much. It used to
be a big part of your life. Queue we always
be q's. There's never a Q now right. It's odd
if you even see one person. I was that human
using an ATM yesterday. I'm not a neat free but
those things are super briefers. The next outbreak that will

(33:54):
shut this city down will come from ATMs.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
Right.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I was just like, oh boy, you can't use your
elbow or your foot. You stop putting you Then you've
got a member number?

Speaker 8 (34:07):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Because it's not something used frequently anymore? And then it's
like who wants to be a millionaire? All these questions
do you want to see a balance? Why do you
want to be depressed?

Speaker 7 (34:16):
No?

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I never want to Who says, yeah, I just hang
out for a bit and do some balancing of the budgets.
If you want to receive.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
You have a sticky beer, someone's left to act. I
always like to have I always do, always always.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's got that little tiny micro bin underneath, isn't it?
And then it's like there's this barrage of questions about
like various levels until you get final boss cash in
your own account out and then it's that thing I
always get confused about the savings.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Check check account.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
I don't know I've got those savings? Where am I
getting this money from the bank shouting me this money
when when they want it back?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
The Christian o'connall Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Christian O'Connell's show, come on into Tana because the small
thing big rage when I'm at the supermarket Debdi. They
always want to break my cabana in half. Why can't
they just wrap it in one piece?

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Why? Why?

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Why?

Speaker 5 (35:11):
We ask you?

Speaker 8 (35:12):
Though?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Don't they not always? Sometimes they just break? They should Patsy.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
Yeah, my girls at my local Willies they listen, Hello girls.
They always say, is it okay if I break it
in half?

Speaker 1 (35:23):
But that's you're the exception. They get broken. I mean
with one hand, not even her good hand, just one
hand crush walnuts and also humanoids. That's the noise. That's
the last that is the naso noise. We're all here
when she decides to end us. Yesterday on the show,
we were sharing in the good news. The rio has

(35:44):
a house. Yes, welcome to adult team, welcome to a mortgage.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Thank you so much, happy to be here.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yes, and it's got a pond.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, it comes with a fish pond. There are fish
in it at the moment.

Speaker 8 (36:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
I we're wondering about what happens. Is that classed as
a permanent fixture? And so they leave that behind? I
think it is yours the point that you reckon. They
have to leave the fish behind. Yes, well, I hope so.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Because they're beautiful little right.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Anyway, Ena left us after the show yesterday.

Speaker 8 (36:18):
Great name, by the way, Hi Christian, it's Ina here.
I'm just ringing about what you do with your fish
when you buy a house or you sell a house.
I had a house with a pond. I had about
sixty goldfish and comets in it, and the new owners
were going to fill the pond in. So I had
to rescue my fish. So I got into the mud
up to my knees with a fish net, caught all

(36:40):
the fish, took them home in a bucket, and then
when people came for coffee, I would send them home
with a couple of fish in a plastic bag. And
that was how I saved all my fish.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I didn't say fish, you gave them away?

Speaker 5 (36:53):
What did you do with that party favor?

Speaker 1 (36:55):
I mean you got to go and they will buy
a pond? Such a pain in the night, there isn't it.
I just wanted to come for just a high chance.
Just around the corner from ENA's place, fish were lobbed
out into a nature strip. Good day for the seagulls.
So today we want to have your pet stories. The
lines are open now thirteen fifty five twenty two. Any

(37:17):
pet stories you've got, Corally, send me this on Christian.
My daughter had a pet goldfish in the outside pond.
It's a choice of the word that, by the way,
as opposed to what indoor one. That's a class that
is great listening out that floor right by the nest
of occasionals. That's the ultimate Bogan move wow concept. The
pond is indoors. My dad had a pet goldfish in

(37:42):
the outside pond, but it died. I threw it over
the fence. Some of our listeners are rough around the edges.
I love them, But luzzing a deceased goldfish, I thought
this story is so good of defense. But the damn
thing got stuck in the branches of a tree. I

(38:05):
had to avoid the area until it finally went to God.
Oh what a stink. Horrible signs that one eye just
judging you up there for eternity, so you see forever
your crime. There's something almost biblical about that fish of
the tree. By the way, it sounds like a parable.

(38:26):
All right, So we're looking for your pet stories. About
ten years ago I caved in. The girls wanted some
guinea pigs. When I will be looking after these guinea
pigs and they were like, they actually came up with
a contract and put it under my office door that
they both co signed that they were going to look
after him. Anyway. After two days, I'm looking after these
three guinea pigs. Amazing pets. They do this thing called popcorning.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Oh what's that?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Go on Instagram and do guinea pig popcorning. They it's
like they called it popcorning. They jump up and down
when they're happy. Oh, execute scenes anyway, so they named
these three guinea pigs. One of them had a strange
ginger hair that looked like a wig, so they called
that one obviously Trump Trump sadly just one day had

(39:11):
just died. Okay, they die, and so I had to
bake it to the girls. That was their first time
of experiencing a loss. And so my wife was away
for the week, and so it was a two my
two daughters at the age where the younger one, Lois,
I could spend any yarn. She still believed that big
one about December Ruby now was realizing parents are habitual lives.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
So I was.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
They were like, well, what happens now? And she goes
to heaven? Okay, and Lowis says, oh my God, that's beautiful.
Where is that that's above us? Those we're all dead
people and animals and they all go. Then they're all
they're all playing, and it's it's constant rainbows. Something else sounds.
The older one's going, where exactly showing you on this
map is heaven above our How do they get up there?
And then she was like, how is all the dead

(39:53):
people suspended in the sky? And I was like, mumber,
three more days of this press conference now on behalf
of heaven. Anyway, I go, hey, listen, you know what,
this doesn't need to be a sabocation. It's celebrate the
life of Trump the guinea pig, and wy don't we
go and get some ice cream and soda and we'll
have a funeral in the garden. But we'll turn into

(40:14):
a celebration. So anyway, I put on a hell of
a celebration for them. We got picnic and we've got
meats read and we had a picnic blanket out, and
then we then we buried Trump and the way back
in that was so much fun. Can we dig her
up and bury her?

Speaker 8 (40:29):
As to one?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Oh, we can't keep doing it one time that every week,
let's go and dig up weight was sick. All right,
lines are open now for your pet stories. What's yours?

Speaker 3 (40:47):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Maria, you already go back to your chicken trauma.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
Oh my goodness. This is a saw point within the family.
Even to this day.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
My mum listens to the podcast and I know I'm
going to get angry messages as soon as she hears this.
In about year ten, we had chickens. We've had them
for about three years. Beautiful, the cute, little bent to
one's flowttle things on their head. Mum and dad went
away for an Italian holiday. They went to Tuscany. They
came back just pining for a Tuscan guard and they're like,

(41:18):
I would love to turn the backyard into this beautiful
Tuscan garden, but the bloody chicken coop and the chicken
of there tearing.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Up the who wins?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
I go away for school camp a week. I come back.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
Paved patios, there's a fig tree, there's a goal, there's
all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
They put in. The chicken coop's gone.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Concrete.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Where are there the chickens? Where do you put the chickens?
Are they round by the pool?

Speaker 9 (41:46):
Fox got them, and to this day she will not
admit that he's the cover up going on.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Too convenient. It's why there's no way that the fox.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Just mess with your mom. Wow, they're sleeping under the concrete.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Under the fig tree.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Was with the chicken dinners the next couple of weeks,
chickens tonight every night. Just that stranger like feathers just
always floating in the air around that Tuscan garden. Our
feathers always in this garden, aren't there? Alex? She mustself
something great? Grown up on a farm man.

Speaker 7 (42:26):
Yeah, so many pet stories. I had a dog, a Maca,
the most beautiful, wonderful companion. I grew up with him,
basically Adam, since I was about three years old. He
went everywhere with me, protected me, sat outside the tenth
when we went camping, just on the lookout.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
The most incredible, the best, aren't they talks?

Speaker 7 (42:42):
Louehala was yeah, And if you believe in ghosts, keep
listening here, folks. So he passed away, poor old Maca,
and he was about nine. He had terrible arthritis, and
anyway I reckon the night after he died. I can't
tell how much I love this dog, like you know,
when you're your first pet was your best friend. He
was my best friend. We went everywhere together, and I

(43:04):
mean that we went to every corner of that farm together. Anyway,
I went to bed the night after I to this day,
I don't know whether I was dreaming or I woke up.
I walked out into the dining room, which is just
off the veranda where I slept, and there was Maca,
this golden shining Maca like he was like kind of glowing,

(43:26):
and I remember him coming to me and I'm hugging
him and I'm having this moment with him, and then
we kind of broke off, and he walked out the
veranda door and I never saw him again.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
And I, to this day am convinced that that was him.
That was his wanting to say.

Speaker 7 (43:46):
Goodbye, and I'll never forget him walking out that door
and I never saw him again. That was it, and
I was and I'd go to bed the next few
weeks hoping that I would have that experience again.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
One of the most moving stories I've ever heard on
the show.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
It was so surreal, and you mus close your eyes
if I just scrated my eyes come back because I want.

Speaker 7 (44:04):
To see him again. I was just so desperate to
see him again. I'll never forget hugging him, and I
honestly think it was him. I don't know, it's this, Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
I don't think dogs have got such beautiful souls they have.
He was such a smart, wonderful dog.

Speaker 7 (44:19):
And he used to hate this machinery salesman that he
used to come to the farm, and he knew that
Mum hated this guy, so he would not let him
out of the car.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Interference. Jai went over and haunted him for the rest
of his life. He probably did. That's where he got
to polter Dog. All right, we got some let's take
some calls, so let's get David on. Good morning, David.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Sorry David, there we go.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Hey David, welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, first time caller, long time listener, welcome.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
All right, what's your story for us, David? Thanks for
calling him.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Well, it's kind of sad but funny. We were moving
from you on to Australia about twelve years ago, and
of course we couldn't leave our beloved hunt across behind,
so we put her in a in the care of
pet Service company and she was on a domestic flight

(45:22):
from New Plymouth to Auckland before getting international transfer. And
when the plane landed in Auckland, they were unloading the
crate and she somehow the crate wasn't shut properly and
so she bolted across a runway and unfortunately, unfortunately, the
protocol is to get the urn have tranquilizers. Because they

(45:43):
can't guarantee that the tranquilizer is going to work. You
can't have a dog running around the airport going nuts.
So they unfortunately had to put her, put her to
doggie heaven on the tarmac. It was two days before
Christmas and I had to had to tell my six
an eight year old that their beloved Bella had gone

(46:04):
to sleep permanently. And the pet the pet company said, oh,
look we'll we'll we'll be for you. I said, no,
you won't. You'll see you'll see it. You'll seend that
that pooch back to us and one one, one shape
or another.

Speaker 9 (46:17):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
And so they sent us doll back frozen. And it
was two days before Christmas, A couple of days before
we're all jumping on the plane to move to Australia.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
And the kids were out in the back lawn. They
dug her a nice little hole and then as she
was thawing out, they were giving her her laugh cuddles.
So my kids were were cuddling her thawing out pooch
for for a couple of hours and they got they
all made gott.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
I'm sorry, I don't want to laugh like I don't

You know, they was teens, but they needed to, you know,
say the goodbyes. And they weren't faith caddling cuddling the
frozen out, frozen.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
I've been custody that all right.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
So we were talking about sometimes when you move into
a new home. The previous owners obviously got to leave
behind the fixtures and stuff like that, but sometimes they
just dump crap they don't know what to do with.
It's really so it makes you mad because it's they're
just passing a properly. You give them all that money
and they're passing. You've got to do some sort of
problem for them, basically to get rid of it. I
remember a friend of mine was moving to his house

(51:40):
and while they were sort of going through it all
again and they got the keys, in the crawl space
was an extensive collection of gentlemen's reading materials. And he's
so beautifully organized your set of Encyclopedia Britannicus, not the
leather bound. But they were beautifully organized, he said. But yeah,
and so he had when he was like bringing them down,

(52:03):
It's like who Would's why, I said, who would leave that?
Because who would take it? Great point, you're not going
to the removal people, and do not do not leave
behind those grumble mags, okay, and that they are. I
want them reorganized like that. Take photos of how they're
laid out and stuff like that. Alex, please share your

(52:26):
story about what you what was left behind. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
So the house we bought in Summer Hill and in
Sydney's in a West, it used to be a boarding house.
It was in a pretty serious date of disrepair. And
so in a boarding house there are a lot of
mattresses over about forty or fifty years of it being
a boarding house.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
So underneath the house there's a lot of underfloor space. Yeah,
rooms of space.

Speaker 7 (52:48):
Actually underneath the house were fifty fifty used mattresses.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
What us, Yeah, yeah, yeah, So we were like Stephen
King horror movie.

Speaker 7 (53:04):
Well yeah, and so we had it written in the
contract through our buyers, a good one by the way,
and he said, look, I think it's well within your
rights to get them in the contract to have those removed.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
And they did, luckily for us.

Speaker 7 (53:15):
So they had to removal. Ust or whoever he was come.

Speaker 10 (53:18):
And grab them all out, and I remember riving awful
that worst day of the year, trying to go under
the crawling under those spaces, tarifle anywhere, taken out, haunted mattresses,
kids screaming and crying.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Why why did my mom and Dadda hate me? Why
shutting this palis boarding school? Why did they put them
under the I don't want to speculate them on the
street or two dark stories from you today.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Also you were gone, so it was all good. You
want a boarding house?

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Yeah, it was a boarding house.

Speaker 7 (53:48):
So in the end west of Sydney, there's a lot
of houses that became boarding houses, you know, in the
fifties and sixties. It's a Queen Anne Federation house built
in nineteen twelve. So beautiful, big house.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
