Speaker 2 (01:45):
Good morning, Alex Side morning, Hello, good morning Rio, Hello,
Hello so nearveryone. Have a nice Easter, Patsy. How did
you get on with the teenager?

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Oh well, yes, it's all right, it's getting there, But
you know, I think it's a bit of a freaky
Friday situation.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
In our house.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
It's like we have reverted roles because it's me, not
the teen that's getting up at like eleven in the morning.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
It's been absolutely glad.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
What do you mean getting I've been like rolling out
of bed at ten to eleven, five to eleven five
past eleven.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
It's almost dark again.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That those sort of grim Netflix documentaries you know about mum,
that's just gone crazy. I think always the voice over
then is caught creas and then they started to get
up at mid day, and then how it starts?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Who can sleep in that lake as a grown up?

Speaker 7 (02:31):
It's so good.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Everyone goes to bed, and then I've got the whole
TV to myself, which I don't normally have because I
go to bed at like seven thirty eight.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
So I've been watching all.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Of my picks and then going to bed at like
quarter to twelve, so it's out of.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
Body for eleven hours. Mama, bed break through the night.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I just like go right through.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Like, so, what was your daughter during the school holidays
that mum? Please? Can you go and play with me
with just that hoop out in the yard.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
She's old enough, she's fourteen, she can get up and
look after herself.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh wow, fourteen the old latch key kids. That was
our generation, not.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Brill It's been so lovely just to fall out of routine.
It's been wonderful.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Has anyone seen Alex. I think you've already seen it
project hell.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Mary, Yes, it's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Guys, Go and see at the cinema. That is a
proper old fashion Go and see at the cinema. It's
a feel good movie. It's just what the world needs
right now. They're even extending it for a longer run
in cinemas around the world before it goes to streaming,
so if you're waiting to watch it at home, you
we waiting for another couple of months. It is fantastic.
It is so good, Alex. I think that's one of

(03:41):
the most enjoyable movies I've seen for years.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:43):
I describe it as interstillar Mates, Guardians of the Galaxy.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's somewhere in between. It's that kind of space.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Fun space gen this winter in Australia, anyone out for
space fun.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I've been describing it, Alex.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's because it's hard to describe, is it because I'm
not We only went to see it because my wife's
I've read the.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Books and I hope they stray, they stay faithful.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
To the books, and my wife is a massive sci
fi fan. So on holiday we went to see it
to keep my wife happy, and then I left having
cried and enjoyed it the most. Oh my god, it's
so good. I've been describing it as et for grown ups.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Put down the posters, guys, Gosh, you can have that
space fun.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, grown ups, it's it's brilliant. I tell you what.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Ryan Gosling is just about the most effortlessly cool, funny
and he can do series as well, like Blade Runner.
It's a fantastic movie. One you really need to see
it the summer.

Speaker 9 (04:44):
Yeah, he gets he doesn't get the pundits he deserves
because he's attractive. Yeah, and I think people underrate how
good of an actor he is because he's hot.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
But he's actually a very very good.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
App But what they've done this time in space, because
he's going through some tough times up there, it's just
him and the crap that he befriends is and I've
changed my vision board as well. For the rest of
my life. I want to now live in space forever
with Ryan Gosling. You know, when you really get actually
what you want from your life. I'm like, God, damn
it that it was there all along, Me and Gosling,

(05:16):
just together.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Just us, just us wake up to Ryan every morning.
Yes that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, but yeah, it's you'll be glad you went to
see it in a cinema. You cannot regum enough. And
I think also what's happened is it's created this hue
thing appreciation of space because Artemius too. Now, i know
this happened a week ago, but I'm gonna play a
song when we come back. I've got I'm really enjoyed
watching the whole crew up there, the four of them

(05:42):
thrown at the moon. It looked like set on fire.
And now, after everything they mean through for like ten
eleven days, was the only way they could get them
out of that little tin can to drag them out,
put them on a winch and chop of them across
an ocean, dangling there, dangling there, undignified. Why couldn't they
put them in any of the nineteen boats?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
The floatilla that was around them.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Just sort of swinging in the breeze, taking.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
A cup of champagnes, getting them onto the boats.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Pat's gone back to bed, keeping on today, always keeping
on her, but today especially so. Who else then found
themselves getting heavily involved with the whole mission with those
four amazing I've never seen astronauts and the NASA did
a great thing with the Artemis two mission. They showed

(06:38):
us more than we normally see, you know, the deal
they did with Netflix, and even just how they shared everything.
We've never had so much access to all of it. Okay,
And and what sorts of different sign of them is
more as human beings. Not there's these incredible engineers and
high performers. They are really got to do something like that.
And so the more you saw of what they were

(06:58):
doing up there, and their personalities and just what good,
decent kind souls they were. The bit where one of
the guys who's a single dad, they they surprised them
by aiming one of the creators after his late wife
who died six years ago.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Was that watching a movie? Yeah, And they were the
best of us up there, weren't they?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
So did no one else find themselves surprisingly addicted to
watching just whatever they were up to? Is that Big Brother? Yes,
that's early days when it was really interesting. Just nothing's
going on, but you just check it in or what
are the.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Floating right now? Some are out there in deep deep space.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It was just it was mesmerizing. Was I'm trying to
work out, Padi, why do you think it just appealed.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
To so much?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
I think you're right.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
I think the access to them, we all felt like
we're so invested in this trip, I think and it
was just it's been so long. It's been like, is
it fifty years or something since we've had such a
massive mission. But it was just you couldn't take your
eyes off the screen and they were you know, there's
very few news stories across the ages where you actually
stop what you're doing and just want to watch it

(08:02):
on the telly or listen to it on the radio,
and this was one of them. Like coming back coming
back to Earth and lashdown and it's like we were
meant to go out and meet friends. It's like, hang on, no,
you need to tell them that we're going to be late,
because we just couldn't tear ourselves away. It was absolutely
fascinating to think that they can put four people in
a ship and go to the moon, and the pictures

(08:23):
were so engry.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, that was the thing we all we ever see
is that sort of almost just the black and white
images of the moon, don't you And then he sort's
got all this color and contrast to it. It's completely
not what we thought.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
It was amazing and we had also just seen Hail
Mary and so it was it just was perfect timing.
It was just like a whole new fascination and you know,
seeing Audrey take it all in as well. It was
just amazing that we can actually put people up there
and do what we've done.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I think also it was a welcome relief from the
other news story. Definitely, it showed us something else that
there's still good people and it wasn't just a four
of them in that tiny little tin can.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's what looked like to me. You know, when they
landed and they're like, God, that's been nice of them.
That sure is.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Actually it was just a welcome relief, and it wasn't
just them, It was all the ground crew that was
so invested. You know, it takes a lot of the
ground crew there, but there was an old guy, Richard,
who was doing the narration for a lot of it
as well. He's done about eleven NASA missions over the years.
You've seen on there so many times. And also thought
what was great was at the end a couple of

(09:34):
days later, they all got up and spoke the four
mission specialists. This is a bit of Jeremy Mission specialist
Jeremy Hanson, what he had to say. Have you listened
to this, It's incredible.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
We have a term in our crew that we coined
a long time ago. The Joy train sounds like I
saw a lot of joy up there. We're not always
on the joy.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Training this crew.

Speaker 10 (09:53):
There are many times we're not on the joy training,
but we are committed to getting back on the Joy
train as soon as we can. And that is a
useful lay skill for any team trying to get something done.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
The last one is love.

Speaker 10 (10:06):
What you saw was a group of people who loved contributing,
having meaningful contribution. What we've been hearing is that was
something special for you to witness. The reason I had
them form up here with me is because I would
suggest to you that when you look up here, you're
not looking at us. We are a mirror reflecting you,

(10:27):
and if you like what you see, then just look
a little deeper.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
This is you so much in a movie.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, it felt out the Secrets approach at Hell. Mary, Yes,
just sort of speak that well after going through an
incredible ordeal like that. And then this is Christina Cook
what she had to say as well.

Speaker 11 (10:48):
What makes a crew a crew is people that is
in it all the time, no matter what, that is
stroking together every minute with the same purpose, that is
willing to sacrifice silently for each other, that gives grace,
that holds accountable. A crew has the same cares and

(11:10):
the same needs. A crew is inescapably, beautifully, beautifully linked
planet Earth. You are a crew.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I found listening to them afterwards they were more like
philosophers than astronaut's. Actually, it was extraordinary. The other thing
that blew my mind is they're all middle aged. There's
two forty seven year olds and two fifty year olds.
This is hope for all of us middle aged people.
Actually got my pedoton at four am this morning, and
I'm like, I reckon, I'm only a couple more pedals

(11:47):
away from getting into space and seeing my beloved moon.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Christian Color Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Good morning to Amanda Armstrong, Christian artemist too. My I
didn't know and in a space geek came out. I
think it came out in all of us, and the
NASA YouTube live stream was on twenty four to seven
in my house. I didn't realize how much I became
in vested in. It was amazing. All right, we do
a thing every Monday on the show. We called it

Speaker 9 (12:58):
This was only you have no control whatsoever over any
decisions that go on in the holiday.

Speaker 7 (13:04):
It's like you've got two little dictator.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
This is what you've done, is you've taken a peek
behind the curtain what it is to be a parent.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
I know, I didn't like.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
From this point.

Speaker 9 (13:13):
You're just a spectator in the whole holiday, and every
decision even like oh I guess, I guess we have
dinner at five now, yep, and like instead of looking
looking in.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Broad chat near the kids tava as well.

Speaker 7 (13:25):

Food Guide or broadsheet. We now do they have a
kid's men? You's like, no, this is a nice restaurant.

Speaker 9 (13:34):

Speaker 7 (14:15):
That was my one grace. I did get my oysters
on the holiday, which was lovely.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
But what was the best thing you did?

Speaker 7 (14:21):
Or brune Island.

Speaker 9 (14:22):
If you ever get the chance to go to Bruney Island,
it's like it's like Tasmania's Tasmania.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
It's a little island off Tasmania.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Eat teeth for grown ups. It's space. It's space fun alright,
Tasmania in space.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
Only six hundred people live there and all there is
it's just dairies, breweries, whiskey distilleries, and you just sort.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Of they've got it now, haven't they? Sure you what?

Speaker 7 (14:45):
Jees and booze, it's the perfect island.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
So you just drive around and you just drink and
eat your way through the island and it's stunning, absolutely stunning.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Patsy, what was your three word weekend?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:55):
Well mine was far less exciting. A urine test, so
we were unfortunately.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
Confused.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I've only been off the show for two weeks. Can't
come back like this in the first half. For now,
let's take a break on the news. I don't want
to hear the.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Rest the Christian o'connal show podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
How was your weekend? Tell us about it in three words?
My three word weekend is basically, when I'm about to
play you killing the buzzer. Anybody else got a washing
machine or a dryer, which when it does, it's basic
dumb job. Just wash the clothes, dry the close and
shut that hell up. Decades your your generations before you

(15:36):
have proud washers and dryers. Didn't start singing a dumb
little flute song while I'm trying to wash the game finished,
I wouldn't mind have been just said it once is
then I've finished.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Give me some.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Attention, and my wife has given me the impossible job
now of apparently you can go online. You go on YouTube,
you find videos, you can have hacking two secret options
no wow wow seven failure to launch attempts on me,
And just when I thought I had it done, yesterday

(16:11):
I proudly started doing a victory lap around the kitchen.
I said to my twenty one year old I've done it.
I sit down, start watching the game yesterday afternoon, and
then this noise is were in my weekend. Twice. I
tried to hack into it to turn it off. I'm sorry,

(16:32):
I don't have an engineering degree, Mela. I'm sorry. I
wasn't part of the Artemis two crew or ground control
at NASA. I'm sorry, I'm not Rocky or Grace.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I can't. I don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Does anyone out I've watched so many videos, I've downloaded
the Mela pediaf.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Why would you have secret options? Why did they just
read the secret?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
People just want it on and off that buzzer like
the secret mac is who's appeal in this world? Who
suddenly wants a buzzer that doesn't turn off? Letting you
know the clothes dry?

Speaker 7 (17:05):
So it is yours? Do you want no buzzer?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (17:07):
Oh well I.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Say how that systems worked for year? It's real.

Speaker 9 (17:10):
Yeah, I've got a Samsung one which is probably a
thirty second song which draft me crazy, and yeah, he's yours.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
Just said did you did? You did?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
And then what it does if you don't go three minutes?
Every three minutes, it keeps singing a song.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Oh like like clean meat, clean meat, clemia. Yeah, that
would drive.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
It sounds a bit. Don't ever do that again. Yours
might have a very secret, Alex. Let's move on, Alex.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
What's your three word? Weekend? Pub?

Speaker 8 (17:44):
By myself? There's something special, there's something blissful. There's something
amazing about a man going to the pub, sitting at
the bar watching footy, having account of lunch, no interruptions.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Just beer and footy. No, I'm with Alex. No, it's
where you get to know this is where you get
to do. This is a dad.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, I'll tell you what you just you just had
Father's Day? Did you enjoy my father's Day? That's the
greatest Father's Day ever. Just some peace and quiet sort of.

Speaker 8 (18:08):
Luckily, another another bar person was a North Melbourne fatty
that he does there.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
She just puts any old shirt on, just get she
gets some free drinks.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh, I love the old ring rang ruse, the old hornets.
He's plain, is it?

Speaker 8 (18:24):
Well? Luckily they and they turned the TV onto the
team that I wanted to watch, which was good North
Melbourne Kangaroos, and I just sat there it was It
was just wonderful.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Because the kids away. The guy from channel so yeah,
I don't google him. Oh the one who got let
by let go by car. There are a couple of looks.
Is he working here? Are there are other people with him?

Speaker 7 (18:44):
Tell me?

Speaker 6 (18:44):
Do you talk to like the other people in the bar?
Or you just fairly solitude?

Speaker 8 (18:48):
I'm fairly solitude because I'm zeroed into the.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Football on the well done.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Because you often go into a bar, don't you, writ
when the game's on, and there's often some guy, middle
aged guy by himself who is an aggressive friend searcher.
Looking around, he started, well, don't I look to Ice
is coming over? She guys up to today? Huh fans
for long?

Speaker 7 (19:09):
I've impressed because I get really self conscious.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
Even if I'm there before my group, I'll make sure
I get extra glasses so people know.

Speaker 7 (19:16):
Oh this guy's not by yourself.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
People don't don't care about what you're up to. I
love going to Yeah, I'm past that. And you've got
your phone as well, so he's a look down on

There are you put a phone in the seat opposite you,
just talking to the phone.

Speaker 4 (19:36):

Good morning too, great Christian, my three word weekend, best
birthday ever, Christian. Why not just get off your ass
and empty the try It's Greg. I'll tell you why.
I don't want to rush to do that. In my house.
I share my house with three women. I then got
to sort out all their clothes. Oh my god, God,

(20:05):
it's a nightmare.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
That shouldn't be up to you. You don't have that.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
What year you come from?

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Not up to christ when he gets here and sort
your clothes out.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
I am a man. You do your own.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
The old Sorry, I don't know his correct term.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Everyone, I don't follow him.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
I always end up with Audrey's nickers. She ends up
with his, and he ends up with.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I do that on purpose.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Then they go, just don't worry about this, put them
on the pile. I could spend the next minute and
try and decipher it all, but I don't bother this.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh I saw. I didn't realize. Oh, you don't wear
your mum's nickers to uni. Oh I see?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
So sorry me. Yeah, we were talking about washing machines
and tryers just now. And they have too many settings,
don't they? Just kat and you were just saying there's
any two you really need?

Speaker 13 (20:59):
I will.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
By the way, have you just come from the set
of piky blinders? Have you seen he investigate this?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
This is a new top.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
You look at bit like a librarian.

Speaker 14 (21:14):
I'm wearing a beautiful woolen vest with a long sleeve
white T shirt.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
You d gone too that winter wardrobe? Real soon. It's
only twenty one degrees out there, mate, I just.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Got back from Vietnam. It was thirty five.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
We haven't known. In the last hour of NonStop Vietnam stories.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
I've come.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I went out there just now to go and chat
to the producers. Nor one I heard was literally Vietnam stories.
I just skulped back into the studio that She was like,
they the locals there, you pay them nothing.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
They fold your clothes up every day, That's all I heard.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, you actually pay them a lot. I spent two
hundred and fifty dollars on washing.

Speaker 7 (21:50):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
It was great. Is that our hotel?

Speaker 14 (21:52):
And when you do it at your hotel, it is
the dumbest thing you do. But them was just like,
I can't be bothered, and so we put out washing it.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
How do I opt out of whatever this is you're
talking about? Now, there's only one thing we need to
talk to you about, producercating. I made a big mistake Friday.
I came back into work. They trapped me. They said,
come into our work for half an hour. We just
need to talk about a few things. I left after
three and.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
A half hours. Oh no, no, no, I tell you
what was hard. Rea.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I have a safe space here, and I hope everyone
does in their workspace. I've called it the treehouse the company.
Years ago, I said, could I just have a small
office is somewhere from and the team to meet and
where we could just hide away. And they were kind
enough to give us a little space. They hidden. It
is a hidden room. People don't know it's even there.
They see the door open sometimes and me come out
of it. People, I thought there was a storage room.
That is that's the treehouse.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
And anyway, we've got new bosses and if you google them,
been busy over the last couple of months. But anyhow's
he the new bosses saw the conditions of my secret room. Okay,
And it's got a very it's got two old fake
leather couches that every time you get off them half
the planet sticks to yes. But I'm just kind of
used to that. It suits me.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
They say, hey, we're going to give you a small budget.
Let's let's get you some better furniture in here. I
was our house.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Very kind of you.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I never heard anything about it until they ask one
of our team. He I said, hey, by the way,
I was meant to get some allocation to pick out
furniture for when I come back after East. Oh, but
just a Caitlance organized all of it. And well, that's
nice of her. She doesn't want to bother me with
stuff like that. She's got a good start. And then
I came in Friday too. In fact, Patsy, can you
walk to the treehouse right now and then come back.

(23:24):
I'll carry on talking. You need to see the horror
of what that is?

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Really?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
No, no, no, it is.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
I rang Rio yesterday and just to catch out and
talk about the show. But half the call was before
the show. Rio, go and see what's happened in the treehouse.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
It was the first thing I did when I It
looks like the before you know, like a home renovation show.
It looks like the before shot instead of the after shot.
But it's actually the after shot.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
It's the after shot. And it's also like a cheap
therapist's office. Let's just talk about the world's most uncomfortable couch.
A tiny, tiny two seater that's more like a love bench,
and then a random one seater. So now the team
when they come in and we have meetings in there,
hardly any of you can sit down.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
No, there's about seven or eight of us, yes, three,
and it's it's a concrete slash.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yeah, I didn't know they made couches.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
So then they'd have a max security supermax prison.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
In America in solitary confinement, caramel covered and then a
rug which is completely unrelated to random dark puce.

Speaker 9 (24:26):
It's green rug, horrible, horrible green, like almost what have
you done.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
To the treehouse?

Speaker 14 (24:31):
Okay, I was only given two thousand dollars to read.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Couches are a lot of money. These ones are on sale.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
For nine one shell.

Speaker 14 (24:45):
I thought we would just get a couple of couches,
now I did.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Actually, well, there's only one. There's a one tiny love
bench and then a one seater.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I requested its three ster and a two seater, so.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I got one. I tell you what happened.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I reckon, you got ripped off and that wrestlant money
is what you've used in Vietnam to get your clothes
washed like that?

Speaker 6 (25:05):
Okay, on back pats, Well, it's actually literally taken my
breath away.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
It's like a stick.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
When I walked, I went, oh my god, it's like
a set of madmen.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yes, only I'm not Don Draper.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
It is this baby poo colored leather. Just just a
two seater and just a one seater. We couldn't afford
the other one's theater and there's two cushion.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Cushions, two cushions, it's just two empty backs. It's the khaki.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Green with the tang and a horrible round green mess.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
It looks like a mad bogan has got into interiors. Well,
well that's what's happened here.

Speaker 7 (25:46):
There's a lamp with no globe.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Yep, you're incomplete, I would say.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
I So I ordered all of this before.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
I left to go on Ready Rushing Together out in Vietnam,
and it.

Speaker 14 (25:56):
Was delayed in delivery, so I didn't have enough time
to get in there and make.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
It all up.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's not the issue. I'm happy to make it up.
It's the measurements. It's tiny furniture, and actually half the
team can't get in there. Locke and I were sat
on that love seat together and our knees and thighs
were rubbing together. We're now moving in together.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
I've lost my wife.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
That is not I tell you what. I can't have
another team I but sat on that two seat to
couch with me. It's not a work safe environment. I'm
sorry my fight could accident encroach on somebody, our team members.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
It's not it's not something needs to change.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
It is your biggest priority this week on the show
is fixing what you've almost I was about to swear
fixing that.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Christian, I got four kids. We have a system for
working out whose clues are who's. We put permanent market
dots on clothing tags so anyone can sort the washing
out no excuses. One dot for the eldest, two dot
for next, three for next.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I love the system. I am not a dots Christian.
If clothes get handed down to a sibling, we add
the dot. You've got it. Now, this high level adulting.
Best thing I've did. Congratulations, that's great. So we, I
mean the team.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
We've all been on our Easter break only had a
lovely Easter break as well, me me a family.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
We all went away, which.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Is always quite a rare treat now because our daughters
don't live at home anymore, so we're all together for
a week. We hired a place in the airbnb up
in a magical place for Australia called Nooseville. Never been
there before. It was fantastic. However, when you hire a
holiday rental Airbnb whatever, they always are wherever you are
in the world. They're always the same right, only give

(27:51):
you that one dishwasher ta for eight days, you get
eight days worth of money from me. You think we're
only going to have a couple of plates, family in
four just one er into that, but loved dishwasher. And
also they only have like either one wine glass or
sixty two.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yes, yeah, none of them, that's true.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
YEA two new roles where you're like, guys, take it easy, polease,
do you.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Really need to use it? It's got two to get
through eight days. Four of us walk into the sea
and rinch yourself. Do not use this.

Speaker 7 (28:29):
We can't spare a single don't wrap it around like.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
An oven mat.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, that's all they've left us is wear maroons. And
there's no shops nearby where we just get more of
the stuff. But this morning, want to talk about what
is always in every single holiday rental mbab. There's always
the mysterious locked cupboard, isn't there? Yes, several of them.

Speaker 7 (28:51):
We had a mysterious loss.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Is not the first thing you always do, Just give
it a rattle. I don't know what I always do.
It's the first thing I go and just give it
a little rattle.

Speaker 9 (28:59):
We had one I was on a family trip to
Tazzy over the Easter break, and.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
We had a locked cupboard.

Speaker 9 (29:04):
We ran out of olive oil because they only give
you this tiny, little more amount because God forbid you
actually are able to cook something there. And so Mum goes, oh,
I reckon, they'll have some in this cupboard.

Speaker 7 (29:15):
And we're like, whoa, you're not.

Speaker 9 (29:17):
You're not supposed to go into that cupboard that's locked
for reason, and she pulls.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Out her bobby pin. Because mum very street smart, she
undid the lock to the locked bobby pin open.

Speaker 9 (29:29):
There was thus like it was like ninety It had
everything you possibly dream of. We had gallons of olive oil,
toilet paper, sold, pepper, condiments, jam, everything you could ever need.
Everything that gets rationed out into one little supply get.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Did you get extras of everything? Yes?

Speaker 7 (29:47):
And we had opened the whole week.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Rollers you want.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
We were living like kings. It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
You get a dish tablet, you get a we.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
Did three cycle stop.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
That is high level limit parats. What do you think
is always in every holiday rental?

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Definitely, there's always a Holy Bible in like the master
bedroom drum.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Ever seen that in hotels? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
The B and B staying in a church in church
reading before You Go Classic Gideon.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Then another place we stayed at had the oldest vegimi.
It was about fifteen years.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
Out of date.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Old Vegimily it never goes out of date.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I think a lot of Australiers presume it doesn't go
out of date. Somehow, the yeast yeast, you can't go
off year.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
She's like molasses.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
We threw it out.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
And then there's always the board games where there's like
a puzzle with two bits missing.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, my god, that's so true. Pats, Yes, yep.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Or I remember remember we tried to play a game
of mouse once and the actual mouse trap or mouse.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Trouse around the team going a little game.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I love think she meant with a live.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Mouse mouse if we can have it for dinner, you
put it on the jefful toaster.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Anyway, the red mouse that was actually missing. It was
the quickest board game play.

Speaker 9 (31:14):
It's it's the most unsatisfying game mouse Trap, because it
all builds up to and then instead of being like
this dramatic, it just slowly goes like.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yeah, how many children were devastated on Christmas Day?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
This is it? Three hours it's almost like a metaphor
of life.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
This is it Christian Color Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
One thing I've learned over my is to break Picnics
don't really work to they.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Just as a concept.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Go on, just wait, the family organized one for my birthday,
bless them. That's actually really nice. And then you know,
you get the rug out. You're on the ground. It's
not trying to get comfortable. No one's comfortable. You're shifting around,
you're not comfortable. And then the flies start eating your
food and stuff like that, and everyone's slightly irritable, and
you're thinking, picnics don't work for reason, and also, you know,

(32:07):
just cross the nice restaurants. He thought, you know what
dad would like. He does it eat on the ground.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
And you can't ever like.

Speaker 9 (32:17):
Put any food together or anything because it's hard. Nothing's
like cut, nothing's level. You've got sticks under your butt?

Speaker 7 (32:22):
Awful?

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Can you just cover that? Can you just cut? Can
I just who's put the knife in here?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
The idea of it is so much better idea reality
your reality.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Same with kayaking.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Sure the messages were getting at the moment, people saying
what are you always seeing every single holiday? Rental where
it's in airbnb rend towels like sampaper was zero absorbency.
You're right, those real old fashion ones.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Aren't they all the size of two towels?

Speaker 7 (32:53):
Like they're really small.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
It's another thing.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
They're always a set. People have set rolls, don't they.
When you all to camp into a brand new holiday rental,
I will go and rattle those locked doors. My wife
will go counting the towels.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh interesting, because girls, girls, how many of you on
your om? Okay, Chris, we've got two here.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yes. She always wants to know where the towels are.
Must how we can't sleep at night. It's in a
towel allocation, Christian a washing machine, but know where to
hang the washing Out's true? Yeah, I think that's in
that lock room as well, Alex. What do you think
is always in a holiday rental?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
The compendium?

Speaker 8 (33:29):
Now, the compendium is that bonder, that plastic barner that
has all the things to do, the places to write.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
It's always a plastic thing from office works, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Favorites, It's all recommendation fish chips.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I always I always go, don't trust any of those
pre getting some kickback from that dry cleaners, deep fake
Christian most Airbnb, it's always got the outdoors setting covered
in spider webs. Yes, yeah, Christian real basic Internet adsl
plus at best one make hour.

Speaker 7 (34:08):
The teenagers complain why.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Christian Honley Rentals always have the worst most blunt knives ever.
It's barely a knife. It's barely a knife.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Christian.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
What about the random mug selection. There's no coordination. You
get those clay, random colored ones, and then some other
ones that have been left there as well. Now, this
here from Shanty is an interesting message. Whatever we are
talking about the show, there's always room for whatever you
want to add into that, right, That's how this show works.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Now, Shanty sent me a message. She needs help.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
She needs help with this feels like the old times
in newspapers when you used to have the missed connection,
Jim of that you were the gentleman in the bowler hat.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Maybe not here in Australia.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
This is my old life in London, you and then
gentleman in the bowler hat. In a briefcase, Christian need
help with a digital misconnection. I press match with Alex
He's thirty six virgo Hinge. But the app glitched and
logged me out at the right moment. I went to match.
Now he's gone, Christian. Can you help He might be
listening to the show right now. Someone knows him. Alex

(35:19):
works in tech. His main photo is him on a
boat with a giant watermelon.

Speaker 9 (35:25):
Rare photos it is, it's unusual.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Why would someone pick that one? What is it saying
about the personality of this person?

Speaker 7 (35:33):
Watermelon is coat?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I was hoping that no one would actually fill that gap.
I left there for decency. Rio, Can you help me
find watermelon boat Alex? Is that what we're calling this
guy now? Watermelon boat Alex? Chanty be careful now, why
are you going to get a lot of desperate men
going I'm Spartacus, I'm watermelon boat Alex. By the way,

(35:56):
I'm not supposed to talk about this, but I just
will quickly. While we're up on holiday famuel together. The
first night, we're having a lovely dinner, and the waiter
who's serving us clearly takes a shine to my eldest daughter.
He's twenty one so and so he gives her his
phone number.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Oh wow, that's confidence.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, And that night, you know, I go back. I
leave her and her sister at the restaurant's wife goes, hey,
that waiter is he's taking a shine to Ruby. Why
don't we just leave them alone for five or ten
minutes and you come back and walk them back to
the apartment. I'm like, yeah, fine, okay, I go back
and get the girls and Ruby. Sure you can find
them up on this guy, she goes, hey, he wants
to meet me tomorrow, you know in his van. I

(36:35):
went that ain't that ain't happening, wow, I said, And
he's picking me and you both up and I'm in
the van. There's no van collection approaches a soccer team van.
I said, now, that's not happening. You're meeting him in
a public space, right and for coffee. So they meet
up the next morning in a public space for coffee.

(36:56):
She comes back about two hours late. It's a lovely time, right,
nice for her. And she goes he's thirty ah, And
I'm like, right, okay, that is the end of that.
A thirty year old isn't like a young man. That's
a man, yes, And I said, I don't want to
be that voice. But if he's done that move once
someone up here on they pick you up in the van.

(37:18):
Here's a phone number. He's he's got form and you're not.
You're not falling into that. That was the end of that.

Speaker 7 (37:24):
Yes, he's like Leonardo DiCaprio, but with a van instead.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Of the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Christian, every holiday rental always hands the milk pods where
you need at least five of them to get one
measy cup of tea.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Brody so true, Mick, Christian.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
The back has always fallen off the remote control or
there's this tape round it keeping the battery in Airbnb,
always have the Ikea artworks around the whole place. It's
like an Ikea art gallery. Well, Dean Sydney was right.
It's the Highland cow.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yes, I know exactly the one, that big one, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (38:03):
There's that and the zebra is the other one.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Then there's the giant lily as well. Yeah, I presume
that's the flower. I think it is a lily. It's
that big white whatever it is is a big giant
white orc. I think it's an orchard or a lily. Anyway,
we don't need to get into a to the flowers.
No one's showing at the radio. Get it right, man,
it's an orchid, not a lily. And Ario you went
to see a retro band over the Easter break, he
did you see?

Speaker 9 (38:26):
Yes, we were very excited. We went to see disco
Legends bony M. Yeah, the final curtain to us, so
last time doing a big both.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Their final curtain, that's the one before you go to
the other side.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
The final final curt Okay, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
So it's like a crematorium.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Well, just bone to them.

Speaker 9 (38:52):
Interesting you say that because as they come out for
the first song, expecting you know, we've seen the film
clips with the whole band, they're doing all the dancing, incredible.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Great spiuchin. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
And also they must be knocking on a bit now,
I mean they were like middle aged in the seventies.

Speaker 9 (39:08):
Yeah, yeah, there they as we've learned beyond knocking on
because only.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
You beyond the grape.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Well we had live expecting the full band, the guy
with the big hill all coming out.

Speaker 9 (39:22):
Just one band member comes out for the for the
first song. We were like, oh, there must be maybe
this is just like they built by around. It was
just this one woman and a backup singer and then
I sort of recognized her and they're like, oh, maybe
the rest of the band comes out, maybe a few
songs later, they get through more more of their set,
and it's very clear that it's just.

Speaker 7 (39:43):
The one member.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
What they had a fall out or we did some googleing,
gone too soon?

Speaker 9 (39:48):
Well, yes, members have left this world.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
It was so sad for that one remaining.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Remember just talking, just doing it, kind of wet round
to say, oh, that's really so Yeah.

Speaker 7 (40:03):
It was the gear change.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Were they good? Though?

Speaker 7 (40:06):
Incredible heavy lift, the work of form.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Old you know that suddenly you got to do like
four backing vocals, you do an end sharing with the
foot pedals.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
It's a lot for an old timer.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
They had a full band, she was working and she
had she had a bit of help from a couple
of backup singers.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
But she was incredible, I've got to say, but.

Speaker 9 (40:25):
It wasn't the full spectacle that we had gone there.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
Sort of very s then.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Also you could googled put someone on the poster.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yes, and to bony and Brackets. It's only one of
the dead and it's not like you shouldn't be surprised
it's bony am it's publicly available.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
In their forties in nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 9 (40:49):
It's not that a good It didn't. They didn't trick us,
I guess, but we were. We were going in with
very different expectations to what we ended up.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You see this a lot now where either there's been
a legal dispute or they're you know a lot of
these bands from the eighties, nineties and who are touring
again now, But then the couple aren't in the original
line up, or they go it's one of the original
lineup and a couple of randos they got And you
don't really know. This happens a lot now because you're
a tina. Who did you see where it wasn't the
whole lineup, it was some of them.

Speaker 14 (41:20):
Yes, so I saw the band five, which is meant
to have five members, but I only saw them with
three members.

Speaker 1 (41:26):

Speaker 14 (41:32):

Speaker 2 (41:40):

Speaker 1 (41:48):

Speaker 7 (41:51):
It's kind of.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Flat, aren't they. They're here next month in Australia.

Speaker 9 (41:59):
All five and you know what all the posters say,
very specifically all five.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Right.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
I was in Sydney a couple of months ago and
wherever they're playing. I was doing the talk and it
Shibision Center and five of them and in bock doors
at the.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Bottom went featuring all five.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Oh, they're like collectibles, all the la boo boos.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
And Aby said it was the other one, Richie Neville.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, you live in a show for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (42:26):
They're not quite as memorable as you keep on moving
in the bang up.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
What do you get now?

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Yes they are, and they were. They changed the spelling
of their name. This is when bands did it in
the sort of ninety two thousand, so they became how
did they spell it?

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (42:48):
They had the like the number five and then V.

Speaker 7 (42:51):
I think.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
It was the two thousands. That's what we did back
then for fun.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
All right, bands you've seen where it's only some of
the original lineup. This would be this show soon. Oh,
I saw the Christians going on the show. It wasn't
even Christian, it wasn't it wasn't real. It wasn't Alex,
it was worse. It was producer Caitlin. It was three
hours of stories from a honeymoon in Vietnam whilst she's
wearing a peaky blinders Hesse and SACKFZ.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Not the original lineup ever gone to see a band
of various reasons, death, legal disputes. It was a very very,
very big and they were huge here as well. British
band in the eighties. Four of them, Bucks Fizz right,
making your mind up? I think they had. I think
they won Eurovision twice. Anyway, about ten years ago I

(43:45):
was doing a hosting an Awards do and Summer Bucks
Fizz were there and so before and I said, so, okay,
I'll introduce you and then you'll do these three songs.
When no, no, we can only do one of them. We've
had a split up and legally we can't do those
two songs. I remember, those are the two biggest hits.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
What you gonna do? They did?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
They did some B sides. Who's got who won't they
where he can do them? He's doing his own bucks.
They've got two rival Bucks business. Oh no, you can't
sing that song. That's my song. All right, there's there's
like breakfast shows when they fall out. Anyway, let's go

(44:25):
to Ben now, good morning, Ben christ I'm good. Welcome
to the show, Ben, thanks recording and so you went
to see you too.

Speaker 13 (44:34):
That's correct. Yeah, back in about ninety three summer at
the City Football Stadium. But I was doing his second
character as Macfisto, which is pretty weird. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
That was the one with the horns and the gold jacket.

Speaker 13 (44:47):
Yes, it was calling the post yess it called Dame
the Everage. At one stage, just have a chat on stage.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Everything Ben is saying, this is what mcphisto was.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
What what? What's like a play on the devil. It's
hard to explain.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
It felt like, okay, that's who he's a He's not
the fly anymore.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
He's mcphisto. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (45:08):
But anyway, the bass player Adam, who was real ladies man,
just happened not to be on stage that night. He said,
such a binder in Sydney on Friday night two hungover,
I couldn't make the stage, so that the bass technician
rocked up and pretended to be Adam, and Evermon's going,
that's not Adam. But anyway, he put on a great show.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
I saw one a few times where you two played
and it wasn't the actual lineup, that's.

Speaker 13 (45:31):
Right, Yes, one of the thousand apparently something like that.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Yeah, Ben, thank you very much his story. Did you
enjoy the show though?

Speaker 13 (45:38):
I saw it was my first show of a few
and the guitarist the ag was on fire and as
a band that were great, loved it, great memory.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, Ben, thank you very much for calling mate. Have
a good day, thanks guys.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Cheers, Paul, good morning, Paul. Yeah, all right, not the
original lineup? Who did you see, Paul?

Speaker 12 (45:57):
Welcome back, by the way, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Great to be back actually, and Paul, I've had a
lovely Easter break as well, Paul. Not the original lineup?
What was the band?

Speaker 12 (46:07):
I went to see the Animals but the English group
the Animals from the sixties and stuff and half of
the Rising Sun.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Yeah, big big band back in the day.

Speaker 12 (46:17):
Yeah, they brought out some great music. But where it
was advertised to have the original singer Richard Burton and
all the band members, and when we went to see
the show, the only original band member was the drummer.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
I think he's some guy called Mick. But he's not
he's not He's not the animals, He's just he's just
the drums.

Speaker 12 (46:42):
The lad singer was like in his late thirties. He
wasn't wouldn't have even been born. They put on a
great show when the drama stood there and spoke for
ten minutes telling us about a gig they played with
Mick Jagger and stuff. But he was the only original
band member.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
I love it. This is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
One of the animals, at least animals the night on
stage an animal.

Speaker 12 (47:13):
Advertising with Richard Burton. But they should have said with
the original drama child but not what we were expecting.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
No, not at all, Paul, Thank you very much. The
story mate, have a good day too. No, you don't
need to go to Google. The lead singer of the
Animals was Eric Burden, not the actor Richard Burton, who
was married to Elizabeth Taylor, made movies and also had
a big hit with Out of the Writing Sun.

We've been talking on the show today about going to

various reasons. This guy, I'm actually jealous about the replace
to me in Christian, I won't see the Pogues in Boston.
Going to see the amazing Pogues in Boston, big Irish
community there would be incredible. For Christian seaemer Gown wasn't
touring with them, but was replaced by Joe Strummer who

(53:17):
leads sing.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
With the Cash. That would be incredible. As with this one, Christian,
I went to see his years Janine.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Sorry, the EMUs was come in. Christian went. We were
in New York. You two were doing a free pop
up show in Times Square as part of the World
at Age Day. Unfortunately, Bono had fallen off his bike
in Central Park on the day of the Geek Chris
Martin stepped in his front what he shared it with
They swapped her at halftime with Bruce Springsteen Get out

(53:45):
of Town not mean funny, I Love You to the ground,
but it's a bit of an upgrade getting the Boss song.
Did he sneak in any of his own songs? And
not just that because the MC introduced them? Was Bill
Clinton show? Imagine his rider backstage?

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Anyway? It's none of my business, is it? All right?
Let's get in a late to the party, late.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Later party the home of all your emails to the show.
An if you were talking about the show, we never
completely move on. You can pick it up whenever you want.
A recent show. We were asking you, how do you
lose the tooth?

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Steve?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
I was playing kiss Chase, Christian. I'm sure that game
is not allowed anymore. The phrase chase in the kissing
and the chase, the chasing. It was the earliest appearance
of the manisphere of really, christ I was playing kiss
Chase and just as I was about to kiss my
intended target again Edit edit these, I mean I tripped

(54:48):
and knocked out my two front teeth. That will learn you,
Steve Ray, my older brother yanked the tea towel I
had in my mouth. I didn't want to know why
the tea tawl was in your mouth and the two
top front teeth flew out under the oven. We couldn't
get them out, so I had a huge gap for
three years, then later shattered the top left tooth on
the edge.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Of a swimming pool.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Alay, fame in the family. We're asking you for a
you go any fame in your family tree? Well, this
guy has Christian. My dad wrote the burger is a
better at angry jacks, No way. Our listener's dad wrote,
the burgers are better at heck hungry jacks better at
angry jacks. Christian, It gets better. He married the sister

(55:30):
of former Miss Australia and Sarah, the century model Judy Green,
who is married to Richard Norton, kung fu movie star
who is on movies with Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan
Before he was ABBA's bodyguards.

Speaker 7 (55:44):
Oh what a reunion. Imagine that family.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
This is throwing shade over everyone's fame in the family.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Uh and Christian, this one comes from Yan came in
over the Easter break Christians listening to the show whilst
You're off, and they played the story about your daughter
having a T shirt eat Yo Greens.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
For about two years.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
My daughter does t shirt eat yo greens, and whenever
I'd wash it and fold it up, was like I
must have been like an ironic thing about, you know,
getting your five portions of green today. It's only when
she left home and had closer look at what I
thought was a broccoli stemp and realized the old man
had been taken from my buying that and letting her
wonder about in public with me wearing that eat yo

(56:25):
greens with the giants marijuana leg I stupidly thought a broccli.

Speaker 7 (56:31):
She Boddy loves that broccoli. Eat your broccolies.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
It reminded me of my father daughter. A weed story
of me.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Oh we love one of those eight thirty five weed story.
Years ago, my ex husband built a greenhouse. I can
already see where this is going into the greenhouse. Years ago,
my ex husband, we know what it's an ex is
he serving time? Years ago, my ex husband built a
greenhouse where we lived out on the sticks, where my
parents came to visit. I probably showed Dad all the plows,

(57:00):
which I thought were tomatoes. You think tomatoes, I thought
broccoli greens. Dad said the leaves looked unusual but healthy.
Later when my husband got home, I said to him,
I showed my dad your greenhouse. He went sheet white.
Eventually admitted those old bloody tomatoes and marijuana.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
A friend brackets.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
A friend asked him to grow them. Patsy's husband, Chris
or magazines a friend the older kid made me do it. Yeah, yeah,
I told him to get rid of them, but I
didn't need to worry. A few weeks later the police
raided the property after the same mate to me, you
