Speaker 1 (00:00):
Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast showtime.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Bring it on, big boy.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
He would have to have very long arms, very long arms.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
F me gibbons everywhere.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
The Christian O'Connell Show Gold one oh four point three.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
So one two hundred and four.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Good morning, Patsy morning, Good morning Jack post. Howdy guys, Now, Jack,
how was your freedom meal with your wife last night?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
So this would have been a really big meal.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Some of you might have heard us talk about what
Jack has done for the last seventy five days with
his wife, this thing called seventy five and hardware for
seventy five consecutive days. Two workouts every day, seven days
a week, yep.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
And then no alcohol, no fast food, no junk food
of any kind. So last night was the first day
that we had the shackles off, and the only thing
Banker wanted was a sticky date pudding and a glass
of wine. So we went to a place called the
Royston Hotel just near here in Richmond, and I think
I've been there.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
If it's a place on a corner, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Sometimes you should remember from roughly where a place is.
If it's a black on a corner on I think
River Street. I have been there and it's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Pretty good guests for a pub though that it's going
to be in a corner corners.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
How many pubs are on corners.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's gotta tucked away, though, isn't it. It's a really
pretty spot.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I never never seen it before, but the team had
been there and they were recommending it, said that it had.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Great sticky it should go there.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
It was delicious, and not having had something for the
first time, I'm not a huge sticky day putting fan.
So I said, you know what you order it, I'll
have maybe a byte or two. Ah, but when that
shugar I.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Can'tderstand people that do that.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Go I just have a bide or two because then
when I'm ordering, going, but I want to have all
of this, get your own one.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
And I really did not just have a bide or two.
So what did you actually tell me to whole meal?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Then?

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Because obviously if you've not been having any kind of
food like that, what did you order you guys?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
We got the chicken par It was chicken palma night,
so had the chicken palma and shared the chili prawn spaghetti,
which is something we could have had anyway, but we didn't. Honestly,
you don't feel there's burgers and stuff on the menu,
but you don't feel like it as much as you
think you would because you haven't eaten it for two months.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
So you should rewired your body in some sort of space.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I saw people getting the sloppy burgers on the other
next table and they're judging them.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Look at the fat land buckets. They're not going to
lift forever like us. They share one meal with those
fatties and one each. Chucking in your nostrils, you lard bucket.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Honestly, straight after the show yesterday, the team had gifted
me some chippy.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
It's like I saw, literally my last image of this
place was Jack wearing a giant sort of party bag
of dorito like a pony witho a nosebag at the
Royal Show and I was like, it would pick it
up tomorrow. And then he had to speak to see
the boss late in the afternoon. She went, by the way,
did you see Jack? Yeah, sorry, but don't worry. Everything's

(02:58):
all good on the show.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know, they didn't have to give me the party.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
You didn't have to wear it, and you're breathing in
the fumes of it.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It was like, it's smell it from that.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, it's only one way to eat it.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
No, not like that, and I'll say it's a shoe
or be bad like fifty ko bag of spuds. So
all that bright orange sort of dust that you get
on you and the vapors that.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Come off space.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Already, by the time I got home from that, by
tummy was feeling well and truly full of jump.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
It almost punished your body for being very good and
like a monastic life for seventy five days and then
going drink to you body, me going what meat in
the middle, We're at two opposite ends of the spectrum.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
So what would you have? Honestly, if you had to
go with Go four go junk food, I.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Think I would have gone for the pizza, a pizza jack.
I have not had that for seventy five days. All
I know is when I'm eating, must have hot melted cheese.
What's around it, on it, under it? I don't care,
but it's got to be a pizza or a cheeseburger.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
I had made a gray area for pizza during the challenge.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
You know, I reckon her The next couple of days,
you're like post COVID or we did actually this. We
had loads of people were we're gonna hear this. I
didn't really do two workouts a day. Oh pizza, No,
I had loads of that.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
That's not a snack. That's not a fast food.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast yesterday.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
On the show, we took your stories about what happened
when your mom and dad went away. Email here from
Nina Christian. We went away for three weeks to way
from Essay, left my seventeen year old daughter and my
twenty year old son to look after the home.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Now Christian.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
There was obvious party activity, but the worst part was
later on when we got back we got a two
three hundred dollars electricity bill for one quarter one quarter.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
What are they doing doing?

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Found out after much investigation that the swampy air conditioner
we have was left on twenty four to seven for
three weeks, never turned off, all the doors swelled up
with moisture and couldn't be opened or closed properly for
months after. It took just over two years to pay
off the electricity bill, so as we could only afford

(05:03):
one hundred dollars repayments while they continue to put the
current elecacy charges on top of the bill as well.
My daughter was always more responsible than my son. Fessed
up that it was never ever turned off for three
weeks twenty four to seventh.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I mean we had, I think a couple of months
ago there was a bizarrely high electricity bill and I
rang the company and they were like, and they were like,
normally we see this kind of usage an household of
eight people.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
How many there? Why there's the three of us at
the moment.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Occasionally the other daughter comes back for a bit, but
this is not house of Hey the dogs.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
He using a lot of energy.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
We're running a foster home here or stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
And she went, well, what I advise her, as you
go around the houses check and I went up, checked,
this is the normal stuff.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
She went, just do one more chat.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Anyway, my daughter comes back like every couple of weeks
from university. And I went into her bedroom and then
for some reason, some intuition said, touched the electric blanket.
I was like, oh no, no, Tasha, it was real
toastally Wow. It had been left on for about three
and a half weeks twenty four to seven.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
God, just ready for when she comes back.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's like, don't ever turn that off. She'd be back
one day. Just leave that electric bank and to he's
here for your ruby, All right, Tom, Then we're going

Speaker 5 (07:35):
I would you know more companies now and sort of
making people come back to work?

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Aren't they five days a week?

Speaker 5 (07:41):
There's some people you need to command that people come back.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
It ain't that nice to work.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
In your building if you're actually commanding and using a
word like mandate to return to work five.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Days a week in the office. Oh god, we have to.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Greeting some camera out walking our dogs. Good morning to Debbie,
Good morning Debbie, and laughing at the dogs as they
are chase swooping magpies. Now two about magpies. There's a
big magpie there would mean they're all big buggers. That
has start to come into our back deck over the
last couple of days. And it comes in because it's

(08:16):
looking for some stray dog food that our German shepherd
might occasionally leave.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yesterday I was out working.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
At a little table in a back deck and this
big magpie came and sat at the edge of this
outdoor table, maybe three to four feet away from me. Immediately,
I was scared because they're big, up close right powerful.
That chess is all puffed out, you know, And so
I was about to try and flee and run indoors
and stam the door.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Magpie.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah, but I thought, I'm going to overcome my fear
right now, and I'm going to just transmit pure, unconditional
love to the magpie and hopefully we can form a
friendship together. So I just imagine that I was saying
to the magpie's brain, I love you now, this magpie,
I still realized. I was telling my wife and daughters.
Yes the dinner, they were like, you do realize this

(09:01):
is like the start of Tony Sopranos, just set into madness.
On the first episode of The Sopranos, he starts to
lose it about the ducks that he starts to befriend
because his kids are leaving home. This is literally what
you're doing now you're talking. We're not having talking to
a penguin, You're trying to mentally talk to a to
a magpie. So anyway, this magpie was side eyeing me

(09:21):
because they don't. I don't think they like to look
at you straight on.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
It was like this joke, okay, and so do you
think it's is it receiving your transmission?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I'm pretty sure it did this at first, right he
clocked me.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
And then when I was going no, no, no, no, no
no no no, I just love you, man, I just
love you man, it did this.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Wait what.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
And in my mind, in my mind, it didn't want
to let you. Don't want to let that in because
it had been hurt before, maybe by another human who
had tried to befriend him and made promises and vows
he couldn't get anyway. He's back out there this afternoon,
so I let you know how it's going to my
ongoing relationship with all the best.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Everything's great at home at the moment. Good on it
to Tony.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, I'm not in alonder the.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Exactly the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
But see how the school holidays go when the daughter
are already not too bad.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
She hit us up yesterday. We do go to the
Melbourne Royal Show every year, and we thought, you know,
with Chris kind of not able to walk around with
the miniscus recovery and stuff, that she may not hit
us up this year to go. But last night said
are we not going to the show this year?

Speaker 5 (17:36):
And we said, well, well were you guys just trying
to wait her out, so you to try and get
hold of tickets.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Don't mention even mention which school holiday.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
From what's happened on the snapchat, of course, all her
mates have been going and she said, hey, I want
to go as well, and we said absolutely, so I'm
going to take her on Saturday, which will be fun,
but probably with your girls and with Gordy as well.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Jack.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
You know all these traditions that you start, and one
of our show traditions is that in the animal nursery.
You've got to go to the animal nursery. I think
it's celebrating its sixtieth anniversary this year.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Oh my god. They grew up so quick, don't they,
the animals.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
One minute, you know, it's just a little lamb, and
then suddenly blood, you're sixty.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, they do have photos with a baby lamb in
one of the corners. So they have this photography business
that comes every year, and it's the same lady and
her daughter and the kids can have a photo with
this docide. So if you've got all the photos the
many years, I love that, from about when she was
like one right up to last including last year.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yep, it would be great if there's the same lamb
every time as well, draw into a big sheep that
she's holding her lamb.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
So I said to her, I will take you. I'll
take you to the show as long as we can get.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
And you picked the quietest day to go to this Saturday.
Yea to move around there for sure. Don't go during
the week or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'll take you as long as we can get, as
long as Daddy and I can get a lamb photo.
And last year was a bit reluctant, So I don't
know how we're.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Going to go well once you get into the teens,
all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Really, my wife took this beautiful photo last year and
Father's Day of me hugging the girls. Then I suddenly
realized that one of my daughters had just slightly flipped
the finger up the burn on my hip, and god
damn it.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Can I do kate and do a photo shop?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
And can I just manipulate? Can we just have one photo?
You know, we can see your faces. It buried in
my shoulders.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Still have to try and burn me to good luck
with that landfoat.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
When they're getting in teenage years, you won't getting there
unless you're I always do this one now, I'm not
going to be around forever, you know.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
And they're like, come.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
On, I find myself saying, now, just one photo.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Just that's literally my wife, please, can we just have
one nice photo? And then they do it reluctantly and
you just pick up the vibes. You can't use that photo.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
I hope she does it today.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
The other thing that we have tried over the years
and it does work, even though all the experts say
you mustn't do this is bribe them, just offer them right,
get me you one, they get what they want.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
It's great. It's the perfect way to raise your kids
by bribing. Okay, all right.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Two thousand dollars, it's going to be one in five
minutes time.

I was a big Pokemon fan of a kid, and
Evey even is a very background Pokemon. It's not even
one of the deep cut yeah, very deep cut.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Who Christian I was named after the movie Odette.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Don't know. I never heard of Odette. To what it's
from the nineteen twenties. Oh wow, I'm pretty sure this
is from Odette. I'm pretty sure Odette was a spy
for the Germans. Odette. You're called Odette.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
You've never been curious about googling the origins of your
name until I mention it. Now I'm pretty sure Odette
was a spy for the Germans. Christian, this is a
true story.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Have you have you ever tried to watch a movie
that old? It's so boring?

Speaker 5 (33:00):
We what about the movies of Buster Keaton Chap.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
We had to watch a movie for to study in
media class called Metropolis nineteen twenty six or something like that.
Is the all black and white, no talking, just robots
moving around the screen for Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Not all I mean, that is an unpalatable movie to watually.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
I mean, that's a terrible movie to show young students.
But not all old movies like that, Cask Maltese.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Fulcan I think that that's what you're getting into thirties
and forties by then, where they're allowed to talk on screen?

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Have you seen the movie Odette?

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Homework for the team today, Christian. My uncle was in
charge of naming my brother. Oh why would a family
do that?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Maybe he was like the godfather of right.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Still, you don't give him naming.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
No uncle should have naming rights shift his character in
their family anyway.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
The uncle.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
My uncle.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
Wait to hear the rest of this. It backs up
my theory. Maybe Tim on the show, my crazy uncle.
I just wanted whatever you've got next to it. I
guarantee we'll get stories about crazy uncles.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I've got one for you.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Aunties are saner uncles. There's something about the uncle. I
speak as one myself as well. Christ And my uncle's
in charge of naming my brother. Not knowing what to
call him, he put a bet on the horses and said,
the next jockey to win, we'll name them after that.
The jockey was a girl, so he didn't like that.
Change it to the cricker and said, the next batter

(34:32):
to play. That was Brett Lee's first Test match, and
my brother is named Brett Lee.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Thank you very much. All right, coming up next.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
And on the show, we want your stories about what
got left on. The reason why we're suddenly doing this
now is because about an hour ago I got a
great email from Nina. We were just talking yesterday about
what happened when your mum and dad were away. Nina
was telling us now she went away for three weeks

(35:02):
to Western Australia from her home in Essay, leaving her
seventeen year old daughter and twenty year old son to
look after the place. She comes back after three weeks away.
This is a this is a lot of trust. Three
weeks is actually way too much temptation. It's obviously been
a party, but the worst part was Coulor. Weeks later
they get a two and a half thousand dollars electricity
bill two and one.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Thousand dollars for one quarter.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
They found out the much investigation that the swampy old
air conditioner had been left on twenty four to seven
for all those three weeks they were away and never
turned off.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Took them two years to pay it off.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
I was saying, how we found out that our eldest
daughter two, who lives away from home now at university.
Whenever she comes home, we always put an electric bank
on the bed for her. She likes like a little
old cat. She likes her warm bed to keep her
toasted during the night she came. She obviously had the
electric blanket, and we just presumed that because you're twenty now,
and we keep telling this you' an adult, you turned
it off. It didn't get turned off, and we got

(35:57):
a very big bill. My wife's actually heard me talk
about an hour ago. She said, it's nearer to five
weeks that electric banker, so.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
One of the house didn't catch on.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
We are actually blessed five weeks five weeks an electric
blank on.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
I thought the whole thing could have melted, and stuff
like them.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
So this morning we want to know what got left
on nine four one four one oh four three. Perhaps
you've got a story about leaving someone on.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
When Audrey was a toddler, he was running her bath.
You know what witching hours like, Jack, you'd get that
with Gordy at six o'clock at night. Everything's happening. Yeah,
world's collide.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
They're cranky, you're tiring, cranky.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
You want to land the plane safely to get them
into bed at nights so you can have a night
as well.

Speaker 9 (36:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Anyway, he left the bath on, and I was in
the kitchen, and I'm not kidding you. I looked in
the doorway to the hallway and I could see something
shining which looked like water lapping at the doorway, and
it was it had overflowed all up.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
You've got one job, mate, all up the hallway.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
What was he doing watching TV?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Everybody's doing is out in the garage sorting out his drink.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Fridge Dad of the Year fridge.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
And so we had to rip our carpet.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
It had gone all the front.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
On the top shelf, her bathroom, backs, onto our wardrobe,
our walking robe. Everything had to get ripped out, replace
the insurance. It was a nightmare.

Speaker 1 (37:19):

Speaker 7 (38:23):
Dad had a pretty big day of local footy, and
my brother and I got home later on and walk
open the door to a house full of smoke and
the heap of burning fat straight to the nostrils. He'd
put a steak on them falling asleep. Was the size
of a twenty cent coin when we had a look
at it.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Yeah, and pretty well done. I think this one's done,
should be right, Yeah, pretty much. I need another minute
on there on the other side.

Speaker 7 (38:51):
Yeah, so mum and dad thought I will just leave
the windows open for a while. That's that smell will disappear,
that burning fat smell. They had to end up repainting
the house to.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Get rid of that bad coated.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
For a movie.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
Smell.

I bet forever, Matt. Thank you very much for your
story mate. That's a great one.

All right, Okay, Sam, that's it. There we get this

That's all we need. Now. It's funny to be rude, Sam.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
So you're doing a school right at the moment or
not the school when you got your fifteen year old
in the car.

Speaker 18 (39:46):
I actually just drive my best friend to the airport.

Always a fun run, that, isn't it? To tell them? Marien? Now, Sam, what.

Speaker 18 (39:57):
Got left on my contact lines? A few years ago?
I had a massive night and unfortunately I was put
in bed and nobody knew I had contact lenses in
They got so bad that they crusted over. Sadly day,
I couldn't get my eyes open for nearly two days,

(40:19):
and I had a driving lesson the next morning, which
had to be canceled.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
You're kidding, it was that bad?

Speaker 18 (40:26):
Yeah, it was that bad.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Crossed the eyes with water a hose.

Speaker 18 (40:31):
It took a lot of a lot of warm water to.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Get my eyes over. Nothing like a big night out
before a driving.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Test, obviously.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
I really took that one seriously by having an all
night bender before. I mean, they don't breathalyze you beforehand,
because I don't think they need to.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Not just that right.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
I wish you'd know before Sam goes on the producer
Rio was obviously just being aware of like we we
adhere to a code of practices on the show here,
and he was like, Hey, when you come on here,
you don't really need to say this stuff about, you know,
the all night drinking and stuff like that, you know,
because there might be kids listen.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
We don't want to condone that behavior.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
I was an all night man.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
I got put into beds, couldn't open my eyes for

through the net. It's like sneaking past the bouncers at
the nightclub and you get.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
In Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 5 (41:36):
If you've got a story of coincidence or chance, we

Speaker 4 (41:41):
What are the odds? Believe in?

Speaker 8 (41:44):
Or nut?

Speaker 11 (41:45):
What are the odds?

Speaker 4 (41:47):
You gotta be justhing me.

Speaker 12 (41:51):

Young gentleman by the name of Paul Anthony. My name
is Paul Anthony. I employed another guy. His name was
Paul Anthony. His father was Paul Anthony next door, and
I'm married to Lauren, the first Paul Anthony married Lauren
as well.

Speaker 17 (42:19):
It's on the train going from reb into the city.
Does all this vacant land? And I'm thinking to myself,
what happened is the trainers to stop? Oh, imagine how
many snakes.

Speaker 9 (42:28):
Would be here?

Speaker 15 (42:29):
No joke.

Speaker 17 (42:30):
I look up and there is a hawk carrying a
tiger snake in its clause.

Speaker 14 (42:35):
About twenty years ago, I was actually in the UK
and one night at the hotel, I was watching the
seven Up documentary.

Speaker 13 (42:40):
One of them became a dentist, one was a doctor,
and a taxi driver. And then the next morning I
went outside the hotel and howld a cab and it
was Tony the taxi driver.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
Yeah, that just ons we had last week, all right,
So if you've got a story about coincidence or chance.
Nine four one four one oh four three still to

Speaker 4 (43:39):
Looking for Greg? You've had in Australia. The farmer wants
a wife, the lady wants a Greg.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Have you found any Greg's uncle?

Speaker 4 (43:50):
I'm not joking. Do you really want us to find
it Greg for you?

Speaker 5 (43:53):

Speaker 9 (43:54):
Well this is what my family says. But no, I'm
not really looking for any particular names.

Speaker 5 (44:01):

please my.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Bye for now. Yeah, but let's agree.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
Let's leave it that way, all right. Nine four one,
one oh four three? What are the odds? Your stories
of coincidence and chants?

Speaker 1 (44:24):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
Christian My son is James Taylor and when he was
born he spent three months in hospital because he was premature.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Almost every new nurse we met one to know is
he named after the singer.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
I hadn't thought about it, but I lied to every
single one of the said yes, yes, that's right, Bronwin.
Thank you very much for emails. So we're doing what
are the odds your stories of coincidence? All chants on
nine four one four, one oh four three. You've got
a great one, you say, I have a.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Digital What are the odds? I was online yesterday on
Spotify looking at my favorite band, No Effect, so I
type in n O and then a whole lot of
other bands come up with No Effects, no Doubt, Noise Works,
nor Gallagher, And then a band I've never heard of
called Northeast Party House catches my eye. It's six guys
looking into a photo of a fish eye lens and

(45:15):
they just look cool and they've tickled my fancy. So
I put them into Wikipedia Northeast party House. Oh my god,
they're from Melbourne. Reading the band. The members of the band,
the bass player went to my high school.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
It had a very faint, full stop.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
What are the odds that I look them up for
no other reason than they've tickled my fancy. Is the
silence because you're shocked to this?

Speaker 4 (45:47):
No, no, no, no, I'm not sure what it is.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not quite nick Cave at my school,
is it.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
No, it don't.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
It's not coincidental chance. No, no, it hasn't been of
that because you're obviously looking for no effects.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
And then this band come up.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Well, and why would I? Why would I put him
into Wikipedia?

Speaker 4 (46:13):
The sevenderpndicious moment that happened here? They just come up.
You then go down a worm hole. Hang on a minute,
suddenly they're they're in your world.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
What are the odds?

Speaker 4 (46:21):
What are the more?

Speaker 5 (46:23):
We look at this, there's more to It's like panhandling.
It's not gold, but a bit of a bit of
shiny looking grip.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
That's what we call the show every day. All right, Mick,
what are the odds?

Speaker 10 (46:38):
What are the odds?

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Hello? Yes, yes, yeah, Mick, what.

Speaker 10 (46:43):
Are the odds?

Speaker 4 (46:45):
You got it?

Speaker 10 (46:47):
That's it.

Speaker 15 (46:48):
Many years ago my cousin and his wife took a
trip to Europe and they took a side trip to
visit the small village where my grandmother was born, a
place a bit poor people. They're wondering around looking for
the street where the house that she was born on,
and they couldn't find it. So they are some old
bloke at random, do.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
You know this address?

Speaker 10 (47:10):
He said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just down the
road here, turned left, turn right, you can't miss it.
But six months later his parents, my only and uncle
went to do the same trip visit the village and
they couldn't find the street and they asked some bloke
at random, do you know this house but this address?
And he goes, yeah, it's just down the road here,

(47:30):
and he said, you know, six months ago a young
couple come over from Australia and asked me the same question,
what are.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
The odds.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
On the other side?

Speaker 4 (47:45):
I know what it's like.

Speaker 10 (47:49):
The one walked down a windy beast to a cafe
that was closed, wasn't it?

Speaker 19 (47:57):
Love it?

Speaker 10 (47:57):
Men?

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Thank you very much for call. Take care Jackie. Well, Jackie,
come on, yeah, good morning. What have yours? What are
the odds, Jackie? We're looking for one today? Yeah? What
have you got?

Speaker 10 (48:11):
So?

Speaker 17 (48:11):
When I was younger, I worked as a camp count
floor at a summer camp in France and we looked
after a bunch of kids and then two years later
I was working as a school photographer for my dad
and one of the schools I was at there was
this kid and he recognized me from that summer camp.
He was on exchange in France. From France in Australia.

Speaker 20 (48:35):
Wow, spotify kid with that old story again. This is big,
This is good, Jackie. You've got real gold here.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Kids go to school.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
No more than that, more than that, so much more
happening here.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Also some camp in France. That's some school excursion.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Yeah, yeah, that must be nice. Let's go to Paul here,
come on in Paul.

Speaker 13 (49:06):
Yes, Sam, yes, all right, But what have you got
for us? Well, back in nineteen eighty seven, I was
going to I had a motorbike accident and I smashed
my right ankle and they had to get up in
the hospital they have surgery. I went in for my
surgery and they were going to shave just my ankle,

(49:28):
So I thought, okay. They came in and I said,
we're going to shave you from head to toe to
why so I'm only having an ankle? Said no, you're
having a kidney surgery. I said that you can't be right.
So they've checked and they've asked me my name, my
date of birth, same name, same day of birth, two
beds down to go in the next bed. He was
Paul Anthony Solomon. His date of birth was the same

(49:51):
and he was running a kidney operation.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
This is one of the best ones of the year.

Speaker 13 (49:56):
Yeah, so they.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
So same middle and her name as well.

Speaker 13 (50:01):
Sign middle and sign.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
There's so many random things have to come together to
create this is to be in hospital at exactly saying
I'm in the same ward.

Speaker 13 (50:12):
Yeah, well it was two beds down, two beds down.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Great name for an indie band, by the way, Paul,
that is one of the best we've had. Oh my god,
I saw them with that Spotify one night. Oh thank

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Driving around in the summer in our youth? Oh? Great
setup to in the back seat. This is a setup
to the song how bizarre?

Speaker 12 (51:37):
Who is it?

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Cousin around Tina's? Is he the front?

Speaker 19 (51:42):
Ms?

Speaker 4 (51:43):
In the back? Is it Zito driving around? I think
there's even the line driving around, isn't it? How bizarre?
Ding dingy cousin Derek's.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Is not Derek, but it's it was brother Peal in
the back. That's it.

Speaker 5 (51:54):
We got there, We got driving around the summer in
our youth. It does sound like the line to a
song driving around in the summer on our youth? In
the backseat myself Big Tracy, next to Little Tracy, next
to her friend Tracy O. Driving the car was my
boyfriend Andrew in the passenger seat. A friend of one
an other of Tracy's, also called Andrew. So you've got

(52:16):
Andrew and Andrew up front, double t double trouble, the
double Tracy's at the back.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Christian.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
We were actually hoping the police would put us over
to ask our names, what.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
Do your officer? What are the.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
So something really interesting to this happen whilst we're doing
what are the odds? This time last week we had
this story centered around the name Paul Anthony.

Speaker 14 (52:41):
I employed a young gentleman by the name of Paul Anthony.
My name is Paul Anthony. I employed another guy. His
name was Paul Anthony. His father was Paul Anthony nixt door.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
And then seven days later we're doing the same feature
about coincidence and chance, and five minutes ago we get
this and vold again Paul Anthony's back.

Speaker 13 (53:01):
In nineteen eighty seven, I was on I had a
motorbike accident and I smashed my right ankle. They had
to get up in the hospital have surgery. I went
in for my surgery. They were going to shave just
my ankle. I thought, okay. They came in and I said,
we're going to shave you from head to toe to
Why so I'm only having an ankle said no, you're
having a kidney surgery. I said that you can't be right.
So they've checked and they've asked in my name, my

(53:22):
date of birth, same name, same day to birth, two
beds down to die in the next bed he was
Paul Anthony's date of birth was the same and he
was running a kidney operator.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
This is incredible. Two amazing stories about Paul Ansley. He's
two beds down another Paul Ansley with the same date
of birth. All right in two days time. Then for
Friday's show, we're going to do something we've never done before.
Often people we do giveaways for charities where they auction
off the chance to come in and watch the show

(53:53):
this Friday. We had so much, such a great time
last Friday when there were about two hundred of you
here actually been part of the show. When we're giving
away the twenty washing machines. What would love to do
this Friday is for the first time ever, six of

you're going to be seated in showbiz VIP style. Also
on Friday show. I didn't realize that we'd spent two
thousand dollars of show money, which we haven't got to
get some bleachers so that as people were trying to

(54:37):
win these you know, win the washing machines, people in
the bleachers, friends and family can sit on the bleacher,
fans in the stands and cheer them up. We've got
these really small stands, these bleaches that cost us two
thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
We now own them.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
I said, we need to use them. So this Friday
you can come in watch the show on bleachers. There's
about six of you, three on each row, one at
the back row, and then whoever is in the front row.
