So every Friday on the show, the first thing we

about things we're into at the moment. We call it
double thumbs up. So there's a TV show or movie
with anything you're enjoying, or a book at the moment,
Text me now four seven five three one oh four
three rio, what's it for you?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Mine is Gordon Ramsey's Secret Service. You probably haven't heard
about it. Oh, I've seen this.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I just kept it quiet because it is. I file
this on. They's so bad. It's brilliant territory exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
He hasn't been getting a lot of press. I haven't
seen a lot of people yapping about what a show.
Here is the premise and look, it doesn't make a
lot of sense. Don't ask too many questions, just come
along for the ride. It's Gordon Ramsey. He is a
secret agent for some reason. He's breaking into failing restaurants
and saves them from themselves, the best bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
There are a couple of bits.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
One that Scooby Doo mystery machine van is you know
every week it's a different The name on the van
is a different Gordon Ramsey reference little yes, okay, but
the breaking in bits are so hammy it is.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
It's like a very cheesy movie. But he commits to
the bit. He actually breaks into this.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Leonardo DiCaprio, the method actually in him of reality TV.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
You get banged for butt with the Ramadam.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
He's got all the black outfit. He's got the little
walkie talk Yeah, he's like cracking the codes he's breaking in.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's got an informed, he's got an informost an informant
on the inside.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
The way to it like this.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh my god, I gotta be really careful. This is
close to being rumbled right now. As if if the
if the rashant owner finds out who is, they're going
to beat them to death. Because even I'm watching it,
I'm not oh my god, who is it? And the
other bit is where? So these people are hard at
work and suddenly Gordon Ramsey comes flying it.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
He just goes shut it down, shut it down, go home,
and people go.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Here and we'll be like, no, in my one, you've
committed a major felony breaking in right, and.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Then he shut it down, shut it down. You go home,
everyone go home.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Let just go.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
The last one I saw was the Greek restaurant and
he storms in. It's a full restaurant, it's packed, and
he goes put down that.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Lamb, eat that lamb.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Cut out.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
He's not even the owner of the restaurant and these people.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's genuinely one of the most unintentionally funny shows.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's one of the great gratious show It's just me
that watched it.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
No, I've never heard that.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Who is talking? What's it's on Channel ten to only
ten play how.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Dare they hide that under a bushel? That deserves Emmy Awards?

Speaker 4 (03:21):
And you get all the classic Gordon Ramsey hits you
after he's screaming at the odd sea bombs unnecessarily. It's
just like other word, every other word it is good.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It is double double thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, that's what this feature is built on. Great TV
like that Gordon Ramsey's Secret Service. I'm telling you now,
if you do any one thing from the show to
this weekend, watch that show, you will email us thanking
us for the unintentional comedy.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
You watch the whole season about forty finals.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
What it's big September. It's Gordon Ramsey's Secret Service.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Christian O'Connell Show, Friday Morning. We're doing double thumbs Up,
which is about the things that we're really enjoying at
the moment. For me, finally got around to seeing it
on Father's Day.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Perfect. My voice is breaking into so emotional when I
talk about Adam Sandler because they're Sandman, his life.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Happy, gil Moore two relentlessly funny and joyful.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Ten out of ten for me. Movie of the Year.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Oh wow, Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
We're telling you now there should be Oscars for comedies because.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
They change our life?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is this relentlessly silly and funny, crammed with so many
big name cameos. Every eminem eating my crocodiles, yelling Detroit.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
What's not great about loves.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I had the best Father's Day gift ella watching it
with my daughters.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
That was their gift to me. Was like, well, watch.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I had been asking for quite a few months because
it's been out since July, I think, and they were
like no, and then Father's Day there has to be yes,
and it was that.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
The other thing that my wife and I saw watched this.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Week, which is outstanding is called Code of so Silence.
It's been getting rave views. It's a British TV police
drama and it is so good. I think it's the
same team that did Line of Duty, which is one
of the one of the best TV shows the last
ten years. Code of Silence is a really, really great show.
They're trying to take down a gang. The gang only

(05:26):
meet in public places where there's a lot of background
noise so they can't be bugged. They need a lip reader,
and it's this amazing deaf actress. She is phenomenal and
she's going to be a breakout star. She is so good.
I cannot recommend the show enough. It's up there with
Gordon Ramsey's Secret Service in terms of amazing acting and casting.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
The too. You can't separate them.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
That's Code of Silence, and that is on It's three,
it's on SBS. I know, you know when there's a
good show, it's one of the free ones. I don't
have to pay for them, just getting SBS.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Or if you have paid for it and you go
back and look and go, oh it's actually.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yes, yes, yeah, So that's it for me, Patsy, what's
it for? Double thumbs up.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Finally got to aka Charlie Sheen, which dropped on Wednesday
on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Now this weekend.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
It looks great, it's brilliant.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
You know.

Speaker 7 (06:17):
He describes it as a love letter to his dad,
Martin Sheen, and it is absolutely behind the curtain, no
holds barred and just a guy, you know, battling substance
and addiction, abuse and just telling it how it how
it was. So he's seven years sober and you see

(06:39):
all the old you know movies. Obviously his dad's a
famous actor, but he was just a born actor. Him
and his brother emilioest affairs and you get to see
their home videos from when they were.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like the original brat Pack. Yes where the Keitha Sutherlands.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Great actors and they were almost like the original Jackass.
These videos of him and his brother, you know, like
pretending to knock one another off. And it's it's absolutely
some of the some of the parts. You're sitting there thinking,
I actually don't believe what he's saying to wild life
his first honeymoon. They're on the jet to wherever they
were going. I forget now. But he wanted to meet

(07:15):
the pilot. He wanted a photo with the pilot.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
He was off his.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Head on he was drunk. He'd had like, you know,
so many of those bottles of little Scotch. He said,
I was so drunk, went I wanted a photo, and
he said to the pilot, who I think was friend,
he said, oh, you know, it's not a photo without
your jacket and your hat, and so yeah, yeah, go,
you know, sit in.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
The chair that took and he said.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
The pilot said, and do you want to fly the plane?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And he said, I'm not.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
A pilot, and he goes, no, I just like took
it off auto pilot and let Charlie Sheen fly the plane.
And he said it was just outrageous because I was
off my head and I had like four hundred.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
People on board. Responsible for all these people.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's crazy, and.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Just put it back on auto pilot and just yeah,
just phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I can't wait to see for years. Well, he's meant
to be.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
He was meant to be a karate Kid before Ralph
Ralph Mackey up, I want to which is a coffee?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Is a two piece to go?

Speaker 7 (08:12):
But he was doing this unbeknowns first flick over in
Budapest or somewhere, and he had like he said, he
had like eight lines and he went to his dad, Martin,
and he said, listen, I've got this opportunity to do
this movie Karate Kid. I think it's going to be
absolutely massive. And Martin said, no, you've committed yourself to
to this Budapest job.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
You've got to do that.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Otherwise you'll earn yourself a really bad name if you
pull out of projects like that. You you've committed to it,
you've got to do it. Meant to be wasn't meant
to be. So it's brilliant. Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen on
Netflix great.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
And Platoon as well. And Tom Berenger, Yeah about outstanding. Yes.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
The Christian o'connall Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Friday Mornings to Christian O'Connell show, we're doing double thumbs up.
We go around the team on a Friday and we
share what we're into at the moment. Alex Connen, what
are you enjoying at the moment?

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Well, this is great news for football lovers because when
the AFL season is over, what are you gonna watch?
We look at you look at the NFL. The National
Football League season twenty twenty five, twenty six has started.
It started last weekend and I just love NFL. I'm
so into it.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I listened to all the podcasts, Great What.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I Say, I'm a Carl Brandt fan, and Good Morning Football.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
So I listened to that podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
I've decided that this year, this season, I'm gonna follow it.
Oh wow, that's why I was talking about Aaron Rodgers
the other day. I've been watching the highlights of his debut.
So what's good to listen to you? Because it's really
hard as a complete outsider to understand there's so many
different positions and players in the offensive defense.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
Well, there's fifty three players on a roster, and there's
defense and there's offense. So if you're in defense all
you do is tackle, you might get in intercept.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
What is a Russia?

Speaker 6 (09:52):
A Russia is the person who rushes the quarterback, so
that the Russia plays in defense and they're responsible for
trying to shut the quarterback down, tackle him and get
a stop on the on the opposition.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So they have like inside receiver. You think, okay, that's
the receiver, then there's the wide receiver. Yes, there's just
so much money in that sport. When you look at
the signs of the team, it is incredible.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
It is so fascinating.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
And all the routes they run, all the plays they have,
all the calls they make, you'll never get your head
around it.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Top Grady said it would take him at the start
of a new season about three to four weeks to
learn Bill Belichick's new plays, right, and it's.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Pages and pages like math.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, and he's a traditional defensive coach, so he knew
what the defense were doing.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
So he was so good to have.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Well, he started with the Cleveland Browns and then of
course he went and played coach the Patriots to six
Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Like incredible. But look, there's so many storylines this year.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
You've got Aaron Rodgers, he's left the Jets, He's gone
and joined the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
He's doing really well. They won.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Of course, their game last weekend the Bills and the Ravens,
an incredible game between those two. The Bills expected to
win the Super Bowl this year with Josh Allen as
their quarterback. So I'm all into it. I love it.
And like I said, it's over the Christmas period, the
Christmas break, you get to watch football.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
You know.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
I know it's a football that most of us are
too familiar with, but I suggest you get familiar with
it because it's just a.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Fascinating it's so traumatic as well. Yeah, friend of my
friend of mine back in the UK, he's an American
football commentator and reporter, and they get media access to everybody.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
The players don't lead to press conference until they've done
the last introviece AFL whether they h oh that player
is not doing it. They have to talk to everyone.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
There's real access and they never what I love about it,
they never change the jerseys because there's such traditionalists as well. Yeah,
so there's never ever sponsorship on the jerseys. And what
they do they sell merchandise that every club sells the merchandise,
but all the money that's made from that merch goes
to the NFL as a whole doesn't go to the clubs,
it goes to the NFL. So it's a multi, multi

(11:57):
billion dollar industry and they just do it so well.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I think.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, my friends were saying that when Prince did the
halftime show, so you know they have the big halftime show, right,
it's massive. Whoever that artist is. They have to play
the press conference week to just reporters right till or
three hundred people, and he said it was Prince. And
my friend Simon asked the first question, he said, what's
it going to be like? And Princess goes like this
and then did an hour of live music for them.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Yes, what that is amazing, proper, that is rock and roll.
And the super Bowl. Yeah, he did halftime super Bowl
and it was up the Z. Yes, Princess, He's sang
purple Rain and it rained.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
That's that's how cool. Prince once he could control the
weather and.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
It just kept playing. It was amazing.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
But it's you can watch the NFL season twenty twenty five,
twenty six on seven mates.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Wow, I mean that was a great six too far,
that's on that line. I see Montana playing again.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It was a good year.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
It was let's go back to it seven mate and
Ko sport right, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yesterday I had to go to a oh boy, off
site meeting. Now, when it's an offsit, it's a bad
day because this means you're there for a while.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
You're trapped.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
They've got an abundance of empty rooms in this radio
station where we could have had the meeting.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
But when they want to.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Go and have a little fun day out, it's all
right for people who work the kind of nine to
five our clock. Once you get to nine o'clock, that
battery deplete, real quick.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Meeting starts at ten o Oh.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, Then I remembered because that we had the post
show meeting, and then we had to get to Cremorn
where the meeting was that it sat in the fridge.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Was my food?

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Oh your chicken meatball?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Chicken meatball. That's all I had to look forward to yesterday.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
That's someone else in another bub. I'm alone, I'm hungry,
I'm irritable. And then the meeting starts and there's a
hubub and all this And this week has been a
good week for the show.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Okay, we went back to number one. The ratings.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And so my big boss had flown in from Sydney
and we work for the same company that also employed
car and Jackie O. And that show is showered with gifts.
They have an actual full time arista. They have a
cash cube.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
So my big boss for Film Sydney goes, hey, listen,
I've got something for you word on the show ratings.
She's rummaging around in a very expensive looking bag. I'm
thinking this is going to be a great bottle of
sheer as. Thank you boss. What she gets out is
a fun size kick cat.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Ah, that's joking.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
This I don't want. I've got one for you as well. Yeah, yeah,
this is our bonus. I thought you'd have to split
that from the company.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'll share it with you guys.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, you know she heard the show. This is a
child's sized kick cat.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
That's not even a morsel.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
And if Conor Jackie got number one, you know they're
getting the proper kick.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
They're getting a fun they're getting the chunky goat.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah he's getting four fingers. I've barely got a finger
that is. That's the bonus.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
It's literally wayfa thin.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
And then three other bossesn't that means laughed in my
taps and someone filmed this.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I need the morning mantra.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Okay, I'm questioning my belief in radio and life right now.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Well, not just you, Christian, everyone listening. They've worked five long,
hard days. They've dealt with alarms, crappy bosses, not us
have not generous generously, mister mouse KitKat spreadsheets. Maybe they're
on the work site, they've their damn mouse p and
l exactly. But now it's Friday, it's Friday morning.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Take us there, taste the week Friday.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's almost right. Oh, I need you, Christian, Patsy, Alex,

weekend mindset, because you've earned the wage. Now turn the page.

Wow to the weekend.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
But what if sometimes you turn the page, it gets worse.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
This gets better.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I didn't say that, you said, I don't.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Know what I've had a look. Sure, it's better. A
new chapter. And the new chapter says weekend party, fun, cocktail.

into your emails now, yesterner on the show, I don't
even know how we drifted into this, but we started
talking about Alex and I both love cold toast, and
I didn't realize I thought this is quite a common thing.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
People have very strong feelings about people that enjoy the
privacy of their own kitchen ice cold toasts, and for me,
that's toasted and then chucks in the freezer. Yeah, there
is no god that is cold toast.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
There's a special moment for the cold hoast fraternity.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Ye Funny have their voice yesterday and so a lot
of there's a lot of say about it after the
show yesterday, Christine.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
The butter must melt.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, but you can do you can just smear it on.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
No, but you want lovely melted butter that's oozed into
the toast, not sitting on top of the greasy.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, you're right, Judy, cold toast is hospital food. Such
a great sledge. When I'd be very happy to stay
in that hospital, they're feeding me cold toast, Kathy, cold
toast with heaps the butter is the best, made even
better by adding a scrape of vegemite. Ray love cold

(20:30):
toast thick with butter. Yeah, cold toast is no different
to having very stale bread, Yes.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Exactly, just have old moldy bread.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
No no, no, no, no, no no. It does something to
the equality of the bread when you toast it, freeze
it immediately, and then eat it. Christian, I used to
be a hot toast, melty butter fan, but I've come
to love colder toast with butter and jam. I'll leave
mine in the toaster for a few minutes were taken out.
Your method of putting it in the freezer seems extreme, Sonia.

(21:03):
I let my toast cool off to spread my butter evenly.
It's going to be evenly, Okay. Do you do you
spread your butt or do you just put it just
a swede down the middle? I like it.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
I don't want any dry bread but to touch every horner.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Minutes and then, Rebecca, absolutely not to should be hot.
If you aren't burning the roof of your mouth, are
you even eating toast?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Strong words? Now good?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
A voicemail here from a voice note from a dad
we spoke to last week called Michael, he won all
of our hearts. His wife had emailed me a couple
of days earlier than last Friday. We were doing a
Father's Day stuff what does your dad want? And his
wife collect emailed me saying, his daughter lives in Sacramento
and he hasn't been able to go and see you

(21:47):
in a couple of years. Flights are expensive. She's had daughters,
they're his granddaughters. He hasn't even met them. So could
we surprise him and fly him out there? And we
did last time. Do you remember he was at work.
It's beautiful, and he was in his delivery van and
we totally just blew his world apart. I felt so
bad because I said, it's a really big thing in
the middle of nothing to suddenly here.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
And you could hear his voice bright.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
And then he didn't quite want to go there because
he's obviously where he's on the radio. And then he
did what a lot of us do, especially men, where
you suddenly feel like something moving in your heart, and
then you go back up into my head, not touching
that no, and you heard his voice crack and you
get emotional. Then he went up into his head and
he started to talk about what a lovely show we have,
and he just wanted to get back onto even ground.
So yeah, last Friday, about lunchtime, I called Michael because

(22:30):
I was actually just want to check you lovely and
just see check he was all right. He blessed me.
He told me he had to after an hour. He
was still trying to do his job to live in
all these parcels. Right, He's in his late sixties. He
had to ring his boss and say I'm gonna have
to go. I'm too weepy. Oh, it was all so
big for him.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
The great news is he's heading off this Sunday and
he left this.

Speaker 9 (22:51):
Hi, christian An, this is Michael. I'm just still overwhelmed
by the generosity from you guys. I am flying out
this Sunday. I'm still shocked and just nervous about everything
that's going on. I have not stopped since the day.
But I'm so glad to be going to see my
daughter and give the biggest hug. And my grandkids can't

(23:13):
wait to see them either. So once again, I'd just
like to thank you, and you do a lot of
good things for people around Victoria.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Thanks again, can you I almost want to be a fly.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Reunited, so he meets his daughter and his grandkids as
well for the first time in years. It's amazing. But yeah,
a lot of you been asking how is Michael Wendy going.
He's flying Sunday Christian a bit behind the podcast.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Also stories people have to push start a car in
awkward places.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I went to Holland with my dad and a couple
of friends via the ferry. Upon arriving into the docket
hole and my dad's car wouldn't start, preventing anyone behind
us leaving the faery.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's an awkward situation.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
So he made us get out and push it in
the pouring Dutch rain whilst he sat in a very
nice try car. This is good, Daddy. Yeah, this is
good dadding. That's what you're there for, your father. It's
quite funny. One of us slipped and fell straight into
a Dutch puddle. What are the Dutch puddles? And also
got these because we've been doing pet stories this week.

(24:13):
This is some Richard Christian picture.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
This two am.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
You sound asleep until you woken up with the son
of a cat chasing something around his bedroom. You turn
on the light, you see there's a bat flying towards
your face. Yes, a bat, says Richard instinctively. I duck
under the doner A wonder if this is a weird
vampire dream. But it's a real bat in my bedroom.
Usually the fact lazy cat gets it. He was chasing

(24:36):
a live bat around. We masaged to catch the bout
by throwing a blanket over it go good skills, scooping
up with a tennis racket and released it stressed, but
on an inch outside it flew a fat cat. Sammy
looked unimpressed that I'd spoiled his two way m fun.
That's Richard leonardist's great name Christian. Many years ago, my
sister decided she was going to do a science experiment

(24:57):
and train mice to go through a homemade maze quicker
by rewarding them with food. What yeah, Now we had
to keep mice for about a month. My grandmother's expression
when she found all this outles prices. She grew up
in a village in Greece, and my sister just brought
vermin into the house. I had to stand between my grandmother,

(25:17):
who was waving a stick, and my sister, who is
protecting the mice. We convinced her to leave them alone,
only to find her a day later showing the mice
to our cat in order to set up an assassination. Regards,

Speaker 7 (33:30):
Gonna be a nice day, I hope, Sonny in twenty
one beautiful.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Stuff, nice Sonny weather. For them to burn as much
energy as possible.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
You're going to go and run a couple of laps
of the tan, I think so under six and toe.

Speaker 6 (33:44):
Get them out there, the six year olds and the
four year old Max Gray's lands.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
That's that was one suggestion.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah, is that like Yarraville Arville?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yes, it's delicious. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
What I won't be doing, though, is flipping the bird.
Everyone's flipping the bird here at the moment. What's going
on all these footy players. You've got Baidy Smith, Bally
Smith's Ginnevan flipped the bird.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Sudden, We've got a set of teenagers.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
What is going on?

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Only in a game for Port Adelaide last year flipping
the bird to the Adelaide crew.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Isn't the image of this season I think is flipping
the bird Zach Merritt's doing. It's a bombers and they're saying,
put it down, you've got to play, you.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Got to play.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
It's hilariously bad for that club. They cannot get a break.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Their own captain wants to go and they're saying you
can't go. And you know what, spoiler, you ain't gonna
be captained anymore. They said they're going to make make
him play. Oh, that'd be a fun season for him
and the fans.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Why would anyone now want to go to You're such
a terrible club.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
I just feel so sorry for the fans.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
But Mason Ridmond's coming out and saying our captain, I'm
disappointed he should be leading us through the on field
challenge a free guy.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Nor exactly got to get behind Hawthorne this weekend, so
that that's tough as well, But look looking forward to
the forty finals as well. Cannot win.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
That's two great games, two brilliant games. My weekend is
very different. I feel like I really let my youngest
daughter down this week. So she came back on Sunday
for Father's Day to see me right, and she was hobbling,
and she'd had a night out Friday and she'd done
something to her ankle she thought was broken and that
I needed to take her to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Get X right. I said, that's not broken, it's a sprain.
Just take it easy.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Today I'm ashamed to say that I'm taking her to
have an MRI. Oh no, I mean what, you're not
a not a dad.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
That's the only story she now has about Father's Day
and the old man and walk it off. Look at
our princess.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Put the water on it.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's a sprain.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Trust me.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I know I do a radio show. That's a spray.
So today, Paul think she's got to go on the
old tube.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
She should know better than to trust you, though.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Father, I read out the lovely word she put in
a card to me yesterday and all she did was
point with this big old.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Purple balloon foot. I don't live up to these words.
I'm really sorry. So we have a door today Today.

Christian songs for Friday show.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Celestial celestial words to do with celestial bodies In the title,
it's a correct wording.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Celestial body like a planet or star.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Or celestial bodies can be part of any celestial world.
So a celestial body is like an object in space,
like an asteroid. That's us, yes, comments asteroid star. I
think constellations, oh my god, absolutely, constellations, black hole Orion's belt.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Like.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
You can even go bigger, like the galaxy or the universe,
which unnecessarily bodies, but they do fall under the category
of celestia.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, all right, so PASSI, what have you got for us.

Speaker 7 (37:31):
Well, I reckon this falls under that banner Xanadu, Now
bear with me.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Fictional part, isn't it?

Speaker 7 (37:38):
It's a mythical musicscending from the heavens, from Mount Olympus
to Venice Beach.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yes, yes, yes, not that. It's a great pop song.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
It's insane as the movie so one of the greatest Australians.

Speaker 7 (37:53):
Ever and a great soundtrack because it features Elo so heaven, big.

Speaker 1 (38:00):

Speaker 6 (38:28):
Well yeah, at her home in the US. Amazing one
of the last interviews. Actually yeah, mostly rest in peace,
absolutely legend. My song is bad Moon Rising.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
And in this is a Friday song created Clear.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
That wouldn't really have to be one of the shortest
songs Christian it's only like two minutes.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Something isn't a minute song too? Blur is one minute
fifty two.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
That's one of the shortest ones that only Bill Hayley's
Rock around the Clock is sub too as well.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
They used to in the sixties. They used to have
very short songs.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Because then they had more chance getting it played on
the radio. That's why they're all like Beach Boys songs
for like three minutes. Because radio stations wanted to be
known for playing as many songs as possible in an hour,
so artists were told make short songs.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
There you go, There you go, Ria, what are you
going for?

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I've got a song from two thousand and one. At
that time, it was everywhere you couldn't get away from it,
and then I reckon, you probably haven't heard it until
literally right now, Starlight by the Superman Lovers.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
You won't know that, you won't know the artists, but
you'll know this track.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
This was everywhere, every bang banger of a song and a.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Ribbing film so that you might remember it was an
animated mouse singing karaoke in a spaceship. It was the
heart of technology.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Two thousand, way before AI.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
This was everywhere. You're right, all right, So people's playing
this the whole hour.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Songs picked by you, Celestial things too celestial In the
title I'm going nineteen eighty three Madonna Lucky Star. This
is a banger, my favorite Madonna's song, and it's one
of my favorite song intros. I can't explain why I
love this intro so much, the keyboards, the sense, it's
got a.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Groove and a swing to it.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Quite a mid teen po disco song for the eighties,
but it is so good. This is prime time Madonna
to me, Lucky Star.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Also, you've gotta be honest.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
The age I was when this came out, that Mesh Club,
Mesh Madonna, my favorite Madonna of all.

Speaker 1 (40:46):

Speaker 2 (48:28):
As part of an employee motivation scheme, I'm going to
offer up this idea.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
I have no confidence in it.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
I don't believe we're going to get a single call,
but sometimes I have to entertain the wild thoughts of
our producer Caplin and sadly I can't there are I
can't give any more nos this year. This one is
simply called stuck in a tree.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
By Brad.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
That poor old ninety seventy on Werner is going. Is
this progress? Take me?

Speaker 2 (48:58):
You won't have had this nonsense back in my day
on three K Billy one five A playing the hits stuck.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
In a tree because sometimes in life you've got to
join the doors.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Are we seeing a trend emerged, because, to be honest,
we have had two unconnected but connected by trees, different
stories this week about things being stuck in trees.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
That's true, right started with Sharpie.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
And when I was trying to yesterday, I was wasting
show time by demanding that people tell.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Me what bird this is?

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Ha ha.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
We found out it was the pied currawon. That's it.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah, And Sharpie said Christian, I don't know what the
bird is, but where there used to be one outside
by mom and Dad's place, who I used to live
at home. And I throw a shoe, my shoe with
it at the bird, and the shoe is still in
the tree thirty years of It's almost like some kind
of monument. It's an art installation up there. Coralie kicked
it off earlier this week when we're looking for your

(49:53):
pet stories, Christian, my daughter had a pet goldfish in
the outside pond, but it died. I threw it over
the fence. It's not a thing you do. It's not
a thing you do. You don't do that. We just
make it a neighbors problems of scool over.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
The fence I have.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
And so the damn thing got stuck in the branches
of a tree. Had to avoid the era till it
finally went to God.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
I order a new one. Thankfully.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Thankfully she never noticed us from colleague. So Caitlin, this
is your baby, okay, And I hope we get calls.
So what do you imagine that we're going to get,
like people being stuck in trees or everything.

Speaker 8 (50:32):
I mean, I get people. We could get items like
you know, the guy that had his shoes stuck in
the tree and.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Cat's funniest cats, that's do you know what I do?
You remember a couple of years ago I saw some
fieries trying to get a cat out of a tree,
and I didn't know this actually happened, right, And this
goes to me he goes, you'd be surprised.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
And then remember the next.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Day I was talking about this and what have you
called triple zero for for a non emergency? And this
woman said that she called I always remember this called.
She said, she called them count up a tree and
the truck turns up. Two fire fieries go up there
and they get stuck. She then has to call triples
there again. Can you send out some more fieries to

(51:22):
the cat had come down by now the cat just
mosey down and go look at these clowns. Another truck
turns up these fieries. See they're two college stuck up
and just film it.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
What's a scene?

Speaker 4 (51:35):
You're not helping the rescue.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
So you're right, there's so many stories are emerging about
stuck up a tree. Alex, Alex, you've got a story
of any about stuck up a tree.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Cat's children can get stuck up trees.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
I was at Forkner Park here in Melbourne a couple
of years ago one of my twin daughter's six.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Year old Eve. They were both up the tree.

Speaker 6 (51:54):
I had Max sort of just close to that and
he's my four year old, and all of a sudden
I hear this branch is breaking. Evie falls out of
the tree, but manages to get caught by her undies
on a branch.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
That's another phone the next week, saved by your undies.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
She's hanging there.

Speaker 6 (52:20):
It's a mid air and it gave me time to
run to the tree and grab her just as the.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
That is ripped. A lucky catch by the undies, is it? Also?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I've got to be honest dad of the year there
who lets young kids up a tree?

Speaker 1 (52:35):
What could possibly go right?

Speaker 4 (52:36):
With kids?

Speaker 6 (52:37):
I'll climb anything, and I'm helpless against it. Yes, it's
no good with very inconsequences. And that was wasn't too bad?
Audrey has fallen out of it by your's neck.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
On Monday Show K thirteen fifty five twenty two Upper Tree, Patsy, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
I've accidentally flung some dog poop in a bag up
in the tree.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
I'm sorry. I don't believe that's an accident. I think
you've done on purpose. Do you accidentally do that?

Speaker 7 (53:02):
I was spinning it around my head trying to be smart,
and I.

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Thought that's smart.

Speaker 7 (53:06):
Yeah, well no, it's just stupid. And I thought i'd
be able to get.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
In the beans.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
You always know you've got a real smart person.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
If you see them that's sewing a bag of dog
turds around their heads, you go, my god, that's some
of the very high on the cue. Must be the
granddaughter of Einstein right there working out the theory of relative.

Speaker 7 (53:22):
Ivyshot the bean terribly and it ended up in the
branch up a bar.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I love to have seen that he is walking in
what Wow? I felt bad.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I was I gonna.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
I just had to leave it. What was that?

Speaker 1 (53:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (53:35):
No, that's going to fall on somebody and give them
a very nasty surprise.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
I call the fire brigade to get a bag of
up there.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
That's a bad day for fiing hours. Well, I don't
even to work. All right, lines are up, But now
are there any more stories? Stuck in a tree?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Christian mum Werner loved the song. Thank you very much
for playing. David Bowie.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
She loves her walker, of course she does. She's ninety seven.
I remember my mother in law's weight.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Last year.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
One of her old friends came up to me asked
what was a good to do with her?

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Jackie's water still wake.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
She beennigh that up hearing in through the back windows.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
You can't take it with you.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Christian ninety seventy old Verna still uses a computer to
email her friends. Well, she can send me one and
she goes virtual traveling using webcams. People still doing that
the old remember that it was like state of the art.
Oh you can see the tower right now. Yeah, that's
it live webcams. Okay, so we're doing Stuck in a tree, Christian,

(54:44):
not a tree, but there was a phallic shaped adult
toy stuck on a power line in the middle of
our town center for ages.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
It was there for months. Into the truck knocked it.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Down, spoil spot, boock chest.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
That is so she should have put it back up there. Christian,
Pats could have something.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Maybe her next Olympics, you could do dog turd tossing.
See we get mass bar to sponsorings. Maybe that could
be one of the Brisbane demonstration events.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Christian. My snake got stuck in a tree.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
We took him outside for some UV and he wrapped
himself around the branch. Now, being an eight foot long,
incredibly strong diamond python, there was no unwrapping him and
we had to wait for hours. Until he felt like
unwrapping himself and coming back in the house.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
We tried spraying it with water.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I don't think that's a way to get a pythonto
on coil, just spritzing them with water.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
There a pithon Jared. Welcome to the show, Jared.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
Good day, Christian Carew's it going?

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Yeah, very good? Thanks for calling the show. She got
a story about something stuck in a tree.

Speaker 10 (55:52):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (55:53):
Yes, So the thing that got stuck in the tree
was me.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
How what happened?

Speaker 11 (55:58):
I decided and while on holiday with family, I would
take on one of the hotel little extra curricular activities
of powergliding.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
I always see that leaflet to who does that? Who
is forwards? Your brave enough both to do that? And
that was you.

Speaker 11 (56:14):
Yeah, And they seem to have mispied the things that
controlled my turning wrong, so I had zero control at all.
I couldn't guy to turn it or anything.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
No way, You're just.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Strapped to wherever that thing, well, where the wind wants
you to go and blow yep.

Speaker 11 (56:30):
And I was swinging around and then they were like
indicating for me to turn away so I could land.
But it wasn't turning obviously, and im and I'm heading
for straight for a tree and I'm just yelling tree
and then crashed tree.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
I'm not going to move the trace.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Not crashed into.

Speaker 11 (56:49):
I was stuck there for about fifteen minutes while they
mess around trying to cut the parachute to pieces.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
You must have been terrified.

Speaker 11 (56:57):
I was at first, and after about the five to
ten minute mark, I thought it was bored.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Jared. Awesome story. Thank you very much for sharing that, mate.

Speaker 11 (57:08):
No problem, it's the cherry on top of it is
after I finally get down. I was seventeen at the time,
so not even would legally drink. But a guy that
held all the whole thing and brought me a beer
off and my dad saw me with the beer to
have a goal with me, and I said, I hi,
