Morning Guy, good morning Patty morning.

Okay, I will now admit it. It is cold.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's this reminds me of back in the UK. This
is cold today. Yesterday evening felt proper real. It's it's
on now winters here, cut to your bones. Yes, it's
actually mild.

Speaker 6 (00:46):
It's ten degrees.

Speaker 7 (00:47):
We've had colder mornings where it's Is it the dampness.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
It's winter?

Speaker 6 (00:53):
It is the windshill factor, winchill. Today was beautilly cold.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
It was actually biting.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Yeah, bitee bit, Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Wind chill factor.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's where you go, Well, apparently it's ten degrees, but
it feels.

Speaker 8 (01:05):
Like it feels like it's free.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Bones are saying it's three, but bomb is saying it's ten.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Do they figure that out?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Don't know, but it.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Sounds good because you're right, it is actually quite mard,
but it's biting me. Can't.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
Yes, Well, you know you're of that age now, so
you kind of feel it right, your bones.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Starting to kick in.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, I'm not the one that fell through the shower.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Let's not forget Yeah, how could we keep that door in?

Speaker 9 (01:33):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And Brown didn't tell that poor cleaner and we then
had to call the show. But anyhow's he? Hey, good
morning Tuesday friends having fun on the radio Monday to Friday,
six till night. Now, is this abuse Patsy about the
iconic ac DC video from long Way to the Top.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So there are high level talks.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yes at town hall.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So lord me and it sounds like something Batman, doesn't
it got them the commissioner. It's just a load of bureaucrats,
isn't it boring each other? About the a CDC video
which is an amazing iconic video, long Way to the Top,
filmed right here in Melbourne in nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It turns fifteen next year in February.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Half a century that's been that very very basic video
clip which is just.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
You know what, cost some three hundred bucks. Really, I've
watched a documentary about it. It was fascinating. Actually three hundred dollars,
which include the high of the flatbed truck and some
bagpipes and that was it one of the cheapest videos
that became iconic. Bang for Buck it is and when
you watch it, it looks like you just know what
year this was filmed totally and it's not just that.

(02:44):
It's like, so they're talking about reenacting it.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
Is right, that's right to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary,
which I think falls next.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
February, February twenty third, and there's rumors.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
That the band's going to be here later in the year,
so that's when they're talking about refilming it along side.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I wonder what would be different now, because obviously in
the seventies there wasn't a thing called health and safety.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Seriously, I don't mean that lightly, I mean genuinely. There wasn't.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Right, there was no Floro. No one was wearing Flora.
There were no seat belts warning what they were in cars.
But it's more like ease it if you want it,
So us kids, it was okay the dad just slaund
on the brakes, you went flying through the wind screen.
That would actually just sos you, right, Chris.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
We used to ride in the back of Dead's use.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, we used to do that. You know.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
The straight pop in the back best times ever.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, and sometimes we just sit in in the boot
there and used to be flicking the v's over the birds,
the traffic behind you, and then when you go, my god,
it's a traffic light, Dad, gun it?

Speaker 8 (03:45):
Remember you actually wanted to get you two on the
back of a ute.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, yeah, playing live as in Ute two for good name. Sadly,
it was in the early days of you work on
the show, and I asked you to mock up some
photo shop right, and it was so bad. I sent
it to the representative in London of you two and
he went, this image the idea is great, this image

(04:09):
is so bad. I can't show it to the bands
you killed you.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I've still got that image.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's however, me too, I have a separate folder and
on days where I'm struggling to get remind myself, what
I love to do is I look at stuff like that.
The anger heals me. However, now with AI and all
these maybe we can redo that. Never give up on
the tree? Can we, now, with AI put you two

(04:40):
in the back of a use driving around in the
sunshine playing their hits.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
I would love that.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't ever give up on you too. It's too
powerful idea, So they're going to reenact it, and then
how would they reenact it.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
We'd all be encouraged to go down.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
And be extra.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
I mean, the video would look vastly different to the
one back then.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
So one was talking about now.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
So in nineteen seventy six when it was filmed, no
health and safety, so flatbed truck there doesn't appear to
many side ratings or anything nothing, whereas now.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
You know what it's going to be.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, I mean there'd be so many rulings in council
rulings and stuff like that, you can't do it. Because
I remember we were thinking about doing a thing where
we were going to put on a surprise gig somewhere
in the suburbs, and we approached crowded house and they
were interested in it, and then we just gave up
when it was like, hey, go get this permit. You
can't do it between six and nine am, and that's

(05:29):
when the flipping show is. It doesn't really work at
lunchtime or half ten at night.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
And it's not very rock and roll if you've got
a flatbed truck and everyone's in seat belts and got
like a safety helmet on like that.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, with covering for the weather, and you can only
do it on a Friday at three, so a half
three and stuff like that. That's why they got it.
That's why they, as Patsy said, high level.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
Took high level talk on high level.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Talk, very high level talk.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Christian is currently four degrees in the western suburbs of Sydney.
Some shame listening to show in Sydney it might be
four degrees?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, what does it feel like? Yes, it could be
money of sixteen.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Be careful today, Shane might.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Feel like sixteen.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
That's cold for Sydney.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, why is this It's not like it's twenty degrees
warmer than here.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
No, Sydney is noticeably warmer.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Is that not just a myth?

Speaker 5 (06:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
No, you like to tell yourself that there's less rain
there and yet you had a very rainy Christmas.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
That's true.

Speaker 8 (06:31):
No, it does rain a lot in Sydney, but it
is warmer in winter. You can still wear shorts. Yeah,
that's sort of my benchmark for it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
But I saw a guy yesterday in shorts.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Written Melbourne walking his dog.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, and its legs were red raw he looked like
he was not having a good time. He had thongs
on as well as like, there's no way you're enjoying that.
No way you're enjoying. He had like a beanie hat on,
Like if you're going to put that and put some
trousers on this exactly you're obviously aware it's flipping cold.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Is it a flex? Is it likely?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I think it was.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
He was like looking around.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
He wanted to one to know that he was walking
his dog down the beach in shorts and thongs and
just like you are suffering, my friend. Moment he gets
in that car and go right now, Shane and Sidney,
thank you very much for sending me a message. Actually,
and listen to the show because this morning. Every couple
of weeks, I randomly get this lovely uber driver right

(07:25):
called Hafeez, and I knew that he'd been away for
good last couple of weeks he was going back home
to India to see his mum and dad. And today
when I got and I realized he had a new ride. Oh,
I said, someone's going back with some pocket mommy from
mom and dad. Some of that money haves? Are we
in a Mercedes?

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I like it have. He's a Mercedes Grade from the Tesla.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
My very nice car.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah yeah, yeah. So anyway, he was asking Hafiz was
asking me a lot of questions about the radio show
because he picked up another team member a couple of
weeks ago, Sarah, and he was.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Going, he wants to know how does it work? So
I talk into a microphone.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I've got to be honest, after twenty seven years, I
really should know how this works.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I know enough about how it works, but I don't
know this.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
The microphones, wires, cables, something here is transmitting what we're
saying now, okay to a massive tower.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I believe that's out the dandin.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
On rangers something on our building. Well there must be, yeah,
there is.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Yeah, there's b bb BP.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Beams it out to the main transmitter. And I think
that's for all radio stations. So it's not like our own,
when otherwise they'd be on for.

Speaker 10 (08:38):
Us Fox right, Yes, too many crappy little one for
kiss as proportionately for lack of listeners and so I
but is it just he said, so, is it just
one transmitter for all of Melbourne?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Caitlyn producer, Kaitlyn, do you know the answer to.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
This, can you hear me?

Speaker 11 (08:56):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yes? Oh my god, I literally just said to you
before the meeting, be careful today with the jet lag,
it's going to hit you. You went no, I'm fine,
and straight away the first thing you sell on the
show is can you hear me?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
I'm transmitting from the top. Not sorry, there was something
wrong with this.

Speaker 12 (09:12):
There are two transmitters for each station there in the
Dananong Ranges. It has to be at the top, like
the highest point, so it hits out over the whole
of melt.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
We've got two in the same place.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
Two in the same place.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Would it make more sense to have one one then
and then the backup one.

Speaker 12 (09:27):
No, there's just two that works simultaneously that send out
a feed to everyone.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Wow, is there too?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do we know why we don't have like one at
the Dandelon Ranges one somewhere else, like a backup one.
Case that one at Dandlung broke down or heaven forgot,
terrors took it down. Now they want to stop the
fun in a city. That's how you grind it. I've
seen them in those training camps you see on the
New Summertimes.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't see them shinning up.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
Radio.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, yeah, shooting at photos of me. Wow, we that's
a bit dark. Second breaking hello, can you hear me? Now?

Speaker 12 (10:04):
I believe that from previous chats that I've had with
our tech team that they actually have a generator, a
backup generator out there that if something was to happen,
that did kick in and keep it going.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
But back up generators, you know, people to use them
for various things. There requires somebody to go and go
the ol. So what they got the show? We fall over,
someone's gone on, We're now no longer broadcasting. One of
those loons out there is driving to Dandenong Rangers, right,
so then crank up the generator. Well that's like an
hour an hour and a half's drive. Great deal to

(10:36):
do with whoever hungover one day By the way, it's
just say, oh, there's the one with the transmitted get
out to Dan that we buy an hour and a half.
My second radio station I worked for, we had no
engineers there. I used to have to call a help
disk in India and the and it's a very budget
radio station. It would go off out least twice a
week during the show and so I'd have to go
out to the racks. You there'd be no show. There
was just me there, Me and the news read the

(10:57):
only people there. Had no producers, nothing, It's just me
and the newsree. I would then join the show that
was now afair. There's nothing coming out the radio station.
Go to the racks, you know, the engineering, get all
those all those and be on a phone to a
guy in India who'd be guid to me three half
an hour anyway. Over a couple of months of doing this,
many many times, I actually became very familiar how the
radio station really would. And remember coming in one Friday

(11:20):
with a terrible hangover, and I pulled out something which
took the station off fair aut and I just went
to the back of this little studio and slept for
an hour and a half and then turned the station
back on. Right at about quarter past eight. My boss
came flying and I going bloody, bloody, this place the camera,
don't bosses, I hadn't Killer show Kid a show lined

(11:40):
up today anyway. Another thing that Heve's seemed to not
be convinced about today was when I said, you know,
said then and people just in Melbourne, only in Melbourne,
is to you and no, no, no, we have listeners
all over They can listen online on the iHeart. They
could be anywhere in Australia, I said, they can be
actually in Theory, be anywhere in the world.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
I said.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Just yesterday, I had an email from Dardy USh who
listens to the show in Poland. He's born in Melbourne,
He's moved out there five years ago for work and
he still listened to the podcast every single day. So

Christian Connor Show Podcast Yesterday, I was driving, and my
number one small thing, big rage, I let someone. I
generously let someone pull out and come ahead of me.
What no wave of gratitude? I hate that. I'll be
honest with you. It's all I could do, not to
turn that car around and follow them. Fine line, Get

(21:28):
the wave of fine line, the wave of gratitude.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Just a couple of fingers off the stairingwheel.

Speaker 12 (21:34):
Just that?

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Just does it cost really in your day to say, Okay.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I see you. You've inconvenienced yourself by two point nine
seconds on my behalf.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
Where's thank you?

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Which drives me much nuts? Not just that. I was
listening to a podcast interview about basically mindfulness and letting
the small things float by, and I was like, and return.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
You to other.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
I got a shuckers recently, like someone out the side
of his window. I let him in. He threw up
the shuckers, the old.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Any any variety you want to do?

Speaker 5 (22:19):
He signed the two fingers.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I like that too.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
What about a single fonsy thumb up a good mood?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I do that, and do this little one. I just
give the thumb a little wiggle. But then someone is
that confuses people, calls an accident. Sorry, guys, was it
a danger sign? Or is it? Is it a gang thing?
Is he in the crips of bays side? But the
thing I want to talk to you today is yesterday
I was opening up a delivery package and it's one

(22:46):
of those exploding Jiffy bags, you know the ones where
little you try, try really high to open it, and
then it's worse than glitter everywhere, every get out all week.
I'm gonna get that taint of that gray.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
It's the worst color to gray. It's crumbles away.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's it's stationary envelope, asbestos or the dust up me.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, you're right. Why do we need it? Bubble wrap?

Speaker 6 (23:17):
For decades?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's pleasing to open it? Yes, anyone else keep the
bubble rapp if it comes in it sometimes no, no, no,
come in handy that sturdy boxes. Always have a good
in the garage, sturdy boxes and bubble wrapp keep it
it come in.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Handy, Rea. What's it for you, small thing, big rage?

Speaker 8 (23:37):
I have my favorite pair of Ralph Laren silk sleep shorts.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh wow, mister relatable.

out right now in a silk polo Ralph Florenzu.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Every day I put.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
Them in the dryer and they must have got yanked
on something, because you know the draw string in the waistbar.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I don't because I don't have I have kids, so
I'm so poor.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
I sleep in the nude like that at Tracy pants

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I like a drawstring.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
It's been yanked out so hard that I've lost the
draw string to the waistband.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
And I've just got one giant, long sort of draw
And how do you get it back?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Actually don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's a chat butt on the website. You chat to
Ralphie himself. Drawstring on my silk pajamas?

Speaker 5 (24:34):

Okay, go there and you register your screw and someone
will speak to you.

Speaker 6 (24:45):

University of Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Now about that's proper culture in the winter there.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Negative forty you're kidding? Negative forty?

Speaker 2 (25:58):
What is that actually?

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Like, it's actually it's I mean, it's.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Are you so wrapped up your kind of innoculated.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Exactly, like you've got so many layers on your face
is freezing like it sings.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
But they just acted like it was nothing. It was
negative forty. As soon as it got to zero, they
were in shorts.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
The only thing I know about Wisconsin and Milwaukee is
Miller Beer and it's dairy Land, Jees and beer.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
They bloody love cheer.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
It wasn't it the Home of Laverne and Shirley That
I love that it was set.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Who were Laverne Captain Lacey?

Speaker 6 (26:32):
It was amazing.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
It was a spin off of Happy Days Laverne and
Shirley and it was absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
A brilliant show.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
It was two young girls living away from home and
it was just there was sometimes crossovers with Happy Days
in the characters.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
It was fantastic, so that in Milwaukee. It was in Milwaukee. Yeah, yes,
set in the nineteen fifties.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Yep, that's right.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Do you know I was saing Rio earlier. Maybe we
should trying to feature where it's just barely remember things
about places in the world that you've been to. Yes,
I've been to the Walk and all I know is
they really love Miller Beer is based there and Dairyland.
Is it welcome to Cheese or they had a slogan,
remember the cheese.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Cheese the cheese is a great slogan that wh I.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Could sign up for any kind of leader that says
hell to the cheese. Whatever you're selling, sir, I'm bying
small things, big rage. Oh things.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
We did this every week on the show.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Don't go to work, angryk Ventel spreen right now, text
me small thing, big rage O four seventy five three
one O four three good na, good morning to Janelle.
Small thing, Big rage. Christian is a garbologist. People who
park in front of bins. Yes, it's tough though, isn't it,
because you know it's got part somewhere somewhere?

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 7 (28:00):
They are allowed to not pick up the rubbish if
people do that or do they have an obligation?

Speaker 2 (28:05):
My bins would never get picked up. There's always someoney parks.
They're flipping car. It's not your fault, it's not my fault.
They're allowed to part there. But it tries me mad,
really trying to mad. I get it on behalf of
the garbologists. But you got the big mechanical army. It
goes over for a reason, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
That's what I think.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Do you know what I've got a problem with, whoever
my garbologist is.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
It was recycling last week and a you know those
big ass mayonnaise jars. Yeah, there real big ones that
fallen out of the recycling and smashed to smitherings on
the roads. Why did you get out with the dust
pan and brush on my hands and knees, ass up
downward dogging it, sweeping up glass.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Because I'm a good citizen.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I was right at any passer by driving by could
get a puncher.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Thank you for yourself on my watch, I.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Got you Hampton, the vigilante of Hampton. Christian.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Please tell Rio to get the draw string back through
the pants. You put the string of the end of
a pen, pushed the pen lid on, feed the pen
lid all the way through the whole, okay, and it
catches them.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
I'm sure there's YouTube videos that will be able to
show you to do that.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
A lot of people are saying, TikTok. Yeah, it's more
a TikTok thing.

Speaker 18 (29:20):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's got a death on one now more than YouTube
is fast. If we got shorter algo rhythms, naturally, Christians,
more thing big rage crumbs on the cutting board, clean
up after yourself. No, it contaminates what's coming up next, Christian. Yesterday,

(29:41):
what drove me? People in my team kept applying all
to an email that drives me nuts, Who are these
fools going out?

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Thanks, need to know basis you can't get.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Out of it as well, dinging it's thanks will do great.
Idea boss should.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
Be like marketing emails where you can opt out us
to just no. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Then it looks aggressive, doesn't it. You haven't done on
a white sail group. Christians left the group. It looks
crazy Christians. Small thing, big rage when I have to
follow someone who's doing twenty cave beneath the speed limit, Diana,
that drives everyone mad. You're right, Christian, small thing, big
rage or peep. As my daughter says, it's whenever my

(30:26):
socket pings off inside my ship. Yes, you're right, you've
got no heel. You're a heelless. It's sliding towards your toes.
You can't focus on what you're doing to pull the
car on ons. Get out and go to the curb
and readjust it little pull my socks up. You think

(30:48):
there'd be some kind of smart technology now that could
be invented in songs.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
The other thing just thinking about the bins right on
golf courses.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I see these things now where you see guys playing
golf and they've got a remote control caddy. Oh really,
they're stearing it with either an app on their phone
or a device in a hand, so they're not wheeling
it along anymore. What you know, as it gets colder,
it's always nighttime. When it's done, when you remember it's
been nice, sadly, get up the app. If you can
have robots now that will vacuum you know, the inside

(31:18):
of our houses on that and map it out. Why
can't I been do that? I remember, Ben, put yourself out.
It's real cold in the summer. I've got you.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
That's actually you have a lot of crazy ideas.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
That is a good one.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
That's the best one.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
That is the best one, and Ai Ben, I would
buy that.

Speaker 11 (31:34):
Being hell did the cheese Christian O'Connell shower one podcast?

Speaker 2 (31:41):
You start talking about Laverne and Shirley and I'm not
familiar with the show.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
So you didn't get it in the UK.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
We did get it in the.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
UK, but my mum watched it. I'm be honest.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
It was funny.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I've got a thin tube. Great thinking. And this was
in the fifties.

Speaker 6 (31:59):
No set in the fifties.

Speaker 7 (32:02):
Oh yes, Silvern and Shirley they were flatmates and they
worked together at the local pop factory. And I remember
though opening credits in that there was you know, the
the bottles on the conveyor belt in one of them
puts a glove over the bottle.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Stop it comedies when started stopping Laverna?

Speaker 19 (32:21):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Shirley? I know, probably folks of them much in Shenanigan's.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
Again, but it was really great. It was funny.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
What can you tell us about the legends that were Laverna?

Speaker 19 (32:28):
She?

Speaker 8 (32:28):
It actually became America's most watched television program.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
There was a big show, is huge, it.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Says, featuring regular physical comedy.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
Laverne and Shirley was about two friends who worked as
bottlecappers in the Fictitious Shots brewery.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yes in the late fifties in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Got a great email here that came in after yesterday's
show from Jordan Christian.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
You were talking about lost pets on the show.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
In the early two thousands, we bought a new house
and the family we brought off moved about thirty seven
k away. I love the position here. Details matter. After settlement,
we took our first lot of belongings over to our
new home. We greeted by very tide and thirsty dog
laying at the front door. There was a phone numb
on the collars.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
We called it.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
It was the previous son of the house. The dog
had escaped their new house thirty seven k away and
found its way back through countryside then suburbs to his
previous home. Oh my god, apparently animals have some sort
of six cents for location perception. Jordan, incredible story. I
remem Brandy Lee telling me it's still about this one.
So how you brought a place and the family moved away,

(33:30):
and the obviously must have taken this dog on the
train a couple of times, and this dog had got
the train back.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
It just got on the train.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
High level, high level six sense perception. That dog get
on trams, trains, buses. All right, So what are we
doing here? That's it oasis, that's it sing it to win.

Speaker 19 (33:57):
It seemed to win. It's got your ti kid. Yeah,

How pick an awaits the song and write your own
lyrics to it. There is just under a week for
you to enter. You just record your entry on your
phone picking aways a song. Now, we have been saying
this isn't strictly a talent competition. I generally wanted to
go to a great fan who loved the band, who
really deserve and want to be there. However, last week

(35:11):
that was tested, we didn't have some quite shabby first take.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Sodit.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
You can have this effort, so for sure, don't worry
about the talent of the voice, but maybe do two
or three takes or even as clear that throat rather
than sending me an entry where about every other one was. Christian,
here's my entry, feeling supersonic. Gim me gin and tonic.

(35:39):
But yesterday we had a great one and a lot

Speaker 6 (41:51):
Look Americans call him Arima.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, beautiful looking dom headline. Then I found dog travels
five miles alone in the dark to get burrito. Max,
a five year old Great Pyrenees from South Gota, was
once given a burrito so good it's sparksan epic return journey.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
We've all done this.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Later night, Munchie set in Whether you're human or canine,
Max left his home seeming in search of a free
burrito he'd previously been given weeks before from a nearby
convenience store. I say nearby, it's five miles away, So
then look at his GPS tracker. He walks across fields

(42:32):
for five miles? Was that ten k They open up
the garage door. Max are gone and in barks on
a two hour journey into town where he went to
this convenience place where he once got a breakfast burrito.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
It was shucked because for the time he got there
it was four am.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
He waited for five hours there paract to open. This
is our new patron Saint the show Max the Great
Pyrenees waiting for hours for a burrito legend.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
And if you've had a great burrito, you remember where
you got it from.

Speaker 5 (43:02):
You often fantasize about going crossing fields together.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
One of Max has a great of Max there now.
I don't know is that a photo? Max is looking happy?
In my mind, that's just after he's had that burrito.
That's the happiest dog I've ever He's got a tummy
full of Brita right now, I can't stop thinking about
getting a Breto. No, that's Mexican places open twenty four
to seven. Max Uber eats my friend. It's there for
all of us, all right. So we're looking for your

(43:29):
stories of bizarre injuries and have you ever been wedged? Christian?
The injury itself wasn't bizarre, but the aftermath was I
dessiccated my eyeboy falling down the stairs a high Sense
arena at a church conference.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
My mum made me go to.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
They have parents there, paramedics there who wanted to take
me to a hospital, but my mom wouldn't let me
to get it put back in plaints because she said
God will sort this out.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
Oh no, you got this one.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
God hurry, g man's got this off.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
You go flapping around, mom, God was testing you.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Ended up popping it back in myself.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Did you mekayla or did God do that exactly? The
great physio in the sky. This is amazing from knowing
bizarre injuries. I boke my humorous burying the goldfish. It
was pouring down in rain and the goldfish had to
be buried after the funeral. I slipped down in the
moment and felt really hot. I had to lay there

(44:28):
in the rain until the amposts are right forty minutes later.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Oh my god, that's a terrible book.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Kind of we got to talk this week about pet funerals,
about a goldfish one When the kids were a lot younger, Christian,
my friends got their leg wedged in between two planks
on my balcony.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I never laughed so hard in my entire life.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Christian. I got wedged in a plastic high chair in
a pub. My best to you other thirty years after
listen to this My best year after a few after
my best year of other thirty years after a few
drinks challenged me to get into a high chair we
saw in the corner. Yes, not like a kid's Christian.
I got in, I could not get out. Three strangers

(45:14):
how to how unwedged me from a child? I was
forty three. We hoisted out. The whole pub was staring
and filming it. Ok, you can never go back. There
must be photos of video.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
That is amazing. Carry that's great, Sue.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Good morning, good morning, Good morning, Sue. Welcome to the show.
So you're our first wedgend to call the show. You've
got to still about being wedged too. What happened?

Speaker 16 (45:40):
Oh well, years ago when I was at primary school,
a boy called Brian, which you don't hear of that
name very often now, threw my press scene on the
floor and they had Uni sex or not Uni sex,
but UNI desktops, which is one desktop for two people.
And I couldn't get down to pick it up. So
I sort of witched myself in and I couldn't get out,

(46:03):
and all I was worried about Brian and throwing my
plaster scene on the floor, and the head master had
to come and get an axe. About fenty minutes later
he me out.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
None of us had an our Bingo show card today acts,
And I.

Speaker 9 (46:17):
Was so scared because I was five years of age.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Scared. He's scared. Now someone takes an axe to something
I'm trapped in.

Speaker 16 (46:24):
And he had the name of Brian, which was even worse.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
What are the odds?

Speaker 2 (46:28):
So Brian threw the past the scene on the phone
and the head master is a Brian as well.

Speaker 16 (46:32):
No, no, well we had to move Brian away from me.
There's any one to the seat away so that I
could unridh myself.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Well do you head masterses have ates?

Speaker 1 (46:44):
What a country only in Australia.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
This is an axe problems just swinging it through the
playground on his way there.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
So the boss has an axe, yes, she says, hanging above.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
And that's how you actually get axed. It's actually physically acted.

Speaker 16 (47:04):
I think that I took him so long he had
to go down to the fire department. What you had
to go to the fire department, bring them up and
get them to come around with an axe.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Go somewherehere.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
You're going to go backwards to go forward.

Speaker 8 (47:18):
But if he called the fire depart and surely let
the fire people the fireman, yes, cut it.

Speaker 5 (47:23):
Not the headmaster.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
No.

Speaker 16 (47:26):
That was when they were sitting back in there, their
little officers. I think and they didn't.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
It wasn't really a big just pencil exactly all right,
So lovely story.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Thank you very much to calling.

Speaker 9 (47:38):
Okay, bye to my rear.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Make a note down your stories involving axes.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
We go Chris.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Good morning, Chris. Always a joy to hear from me.
I hope you well.

Speaker 9 (47:49):
Yeah, thanks man. Morning. Guys. I've got a wedding for you, please,
thank you. It was a night before my first wedding
and we were getting married. I'm going to bush at
a campsite that had bungalows and stuff like that for
people stay at. So the night before the wedding, bridal party, families,
or four o'clock in the morning, all the groomsman decided, Oh,

(48:11):
let's go and play hide and feet.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Oh yeah, that well known and well known part of
any kind of wedding with the group hide and seek.
I've known a couple of guys that are still hiding
right now.

Speaker 9 (48:25):
That's the journey from boy command. Basically, everyone's off hiding
and then we just start hearing someone yelling for help.
So sort of converge and realize that my brother has
tried to sneak underneath one of the bungalows through the
little middle steps that went up up to the door.

(48:49):
But he got his head through, couldn't get his shoulders
through them, and once the head was in, couldn't pull
the head out. Basically after the you know, five minutes
of just killing yourself laughing. Yeah, a couple of us
had to climb up above his head without actually standing
on that step obviously and sort of wedge as I

(49:10):
flicked the steps just so enough so you can squeeze
his head out. Yeah, he had a nice little color
in his ear for the wedding photos.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
That was very It's a good look for a guy.

Speaker 5 (49:21):

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Actually started the show by talking about this news story
that Patsy's got about thinking about trying to recreate the
classic ACD video for It's a Long Way to the Toms,
filmed here in Melbourne forty nine years ago. Christian fun fact,
Brian Johnson has never ever sung that song out of

(55:43):
respect to Bond Scott when bon Scott died in nineteen eighty,
Brian Johnson sent out respect here never performed that song.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
It's Bond's song.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
It's never been sung since bon Scott died in nineteen
eighty in London. So I don't know what the think
of whether where they will get AI, which would be terrible. Yeah,
thats no, No rock and roll fans and a CDC
fans want that. But Janine great trivia fans, I've forgotten
totally about that and injury Brian john And it's right,
they've never done it since Bondscott died in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
That song's never been performed live.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Right, It's an amazing way of paying homage and respect
to someone who came before your time. Yeah, all right,

stopped talking about the concert.

Speaker 1 (58:07):

some scars never heal. Maybe that scarring is around the
vocal course. Natalie, okay, you can hear the pain.

So back in the seventies, my dad's brother was a
freight airline pilot and Christen died in the beast straight
for twenty five years, Dad had no idea what had happened.
Got to call out of the blue to go do
a job Dad worked for himself as a sign writer.
Got chanting to the guy and it was the air
traffic controller that was actually throwing the Guide Mountain's plane

back to Victoria to land safely, and he was able
to tell him exactly what happens on the night of
the accident.
