Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything dead.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Jack Post has arrived on the show today. A world
of pain because you are in the world that I've
been in for the last six months. In our pantry,
you have resident weevil?

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Do you still have weavils?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
They? I reckon, We've gone full trump on them. There's
been a mass deportation. I'm swatting them in the middle
of the night and marched them out there. Ninety of
them have been dealt with.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Well, I said to my wife, I said, you know
where this is from? O'Connell.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Sorry, I've borne them into the studio of them, yeah,
like nitch' sorry, I've taken them from bayside and now
you've moved them.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
So we're day one, which yesterday was all and everything brains,
tree of seeds, almost nuts that your boy, thankfully.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, you're right, the rice and the pastor all has
to go.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
And when I was doing so, I was opening up
every bag and I was like, this one's fine, and
because like no, you gotta really.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Get in there. This was literally the conversation with my
wife and I, so much so that my wife googled
the difference between male and female optic nerves because she's like,
I don't see how you can't see this. She goes,
this is your idea of looking at stuff. It's like
a surface level quick side to side because you've got
to really pair in there.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
But I didn't know they were so tiny.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Micros really yeah, microscopic.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
I don't know the size of a fly. And we'd go, oh,
well there's one there, but there that's an affect. These
are tiny, tiny little things. So you're amost smaller than
a pinhead.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
You literally rub it, rub between thumb fore finger. You
can take out about four or five of them.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, you could be aiding them and diet.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Really yes, yeah, where we were, that's the thing. They
get into your food and once you know. And so
if you got those jars now that are sailable because
if you don't put it on one hundred percent, those
sealable jars we all have, they get in there.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
We have so small we had them in the sellable jars.
I guess how are syllable enough?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
No, So what happens then my wife has become some
kind of jar warden where in the middle of a
TV she go, oh my god, this is you have
not sealed this correctly. You remember watching White Lotus and
I'm made to go and confront my crime in the pantry.
Come in here. It is you opening up the ormonds
and it's ninety eight percent sealed. But they're so small,
they're getting the tiniest millimeters imagine.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
So what else do we have to do? We took
every trap, the traps.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Ye, I've got photos of how these traps work that
my wife send me throughout the day. It's our kind
of sex thing. These traps are kind of like double
sided sticky. It's a triangle and on the base is
this real sticky stick stuff. Okay, and it they love
the sticky stick stuff. They must think it's like toffee
or syrup. But wait, guys, it's a trap, okay. And

(02:44):
so it collects hundreds of them.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh but doesn't that make me think that there's one
hundred summer.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, but rather that than it draws them all out.
They're already in there. So you need the traps.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
You get them from Bunnings, and then do we is
it safe to start putting stuff back in the pantry to.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Make sure it's sealed up real type, it's like a
submarine that you've got to do all the all the
windows and pork culluses have got to be sealed up
in that.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
So, yes, that was actually googling what are the best sealed,
the most sealed.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Get yourself down to Kmart, get those anchor. Patsy's your
woman asks Patsy.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yes, lots to choose from.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
But you don't have never had a weavil problem? Pats touch?

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Would No? I haven't touch?

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Would? Please?

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Do you need to?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
People do this? Move where they go? They touch the head?
Don't they touch?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
We have know what we're looking at getting is those
real old people jars which glass and then they have
a middle class. Oh wow, really like class.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yes, you want to protect that pasta don't you seal
the past.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Because they were getting into the seals that we had.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
They were getting what we had were those sort of
you know, the cheap o't plastic one last ones with
that little sort of stopper.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
But I've gone, yeah they can get because.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
You probably see it correctly. Iron a rush when I'm
going there will still leave like a little tiny egg
app in there was. Now you've got to really hammer
it down with your fist budding on there. So yeah,
go to Buddings today and get the triangular traps.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
I can't believe this has been a six month problem.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, yeah, want that. They really don't want to leave
either because they failed like a constant food source.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, well they have a whole society in there.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes. Yes, you've got to get tough on them, Jackie Boy,
Get the traps. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast Christian O'Connell Show.
Have all the roomors in your house? I reckon the pantry.
You talk more about pantry organization and maintenance, and I
think any other room in the house.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
His favorite thing? Do you still use Pinterest ever?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Oh my god, my wife yeah, absolutely, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Favorite thing on Pinterest is well organized.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Say my wife. Yeah, it's like a kind of pawn.
To my wife, she go, now look at this, Chris.
Doesn't it make you feel internally relaxed when you look
at that? I'm like, not really, It's like the effort
that would take to keep it like that makes you
feel really stressed that there's some guy being shouted at
that he can't ever live up to that image.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I can't believe how expensive these latchable jars are that
we need to keep them.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
So you're talking about the glass ones with a metallic clasp.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, and they have a seal underneath the lids so
that the air tight. You put those underwater and no
water would drip in. But if you're going to do
your whole pantry like that pasta's rice, grain seeds, nuts,
cheer seeds, it costs you too much money. That's going
to be cheer seeds. I bought a five kilogram bags.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
You actually need an intervention. Even if you had a
million separate cheer seeds tops that ways thrown grams. Were
you worried about No one wants your cheer seeds? Okay,
they're widely available in every supermarket. Eggs shortage, Yeah, cheer seeds. Yeah,
there's tons of yourself. Mate.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
It's so expensive though, so you have to buy and bolt.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
To Really what you do with them? Are you making
them into an unpleasant breakfast for somebody?

Speaker 4 (05:55):
I have them for breakfast this morning.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
It's not the stuff you chuck in that shake, is it.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
They're in nice smoothie them on Greek yoga this morning.
Aren't they superfood?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
They are? They are?

Speaker 6 (06:04):
They?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
They were because I got into cheers seats a couple
years ago because there was an Instagram adver and it
simply says foods food of the Aztec gods. And I
was like, that's me. I am one of the modern
ass tech gods. Whatever the Aztec gods had and I need.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
The Aztecs were healthy.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
And also super productive. Look are all those buildings, the pyramids,
the temples. You know that's I need the diet of
the Aztec gods, and you obviously are now getting the
foods of the aztecians.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
So I opened the five kilo grand bag of cheers seeds.
I didn't want to admit there was weavels in there,
so I said it.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Was you're harboring weavils.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Actually, I guess I was trying to get you're a
weavil harborer because I couldn't see them, But said the
other thing you have to.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do, I don't worry. They soon leave those cheer seats
when they work out the zero nutritional value. Guys, guys,
get out of it empty calories.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Did you also look for invisible webbing? Said you know, yeah,
is the weavils leave some invisible webbing. So if there's
geer seeds on the side of the bag or hanging
from the top. You know that weavels have been in there,
and I tried to say that's just static electricity holding them.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
You're now lying to harm the.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
How hard it was to throw away that bag? I
don't even where did.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
You even go and get a five kilo band the
dark web? You've got to shut this all down, Patsy,
are you a Monday? Well, by the way, the traps,
when you get them, make sure it's the ones that
have got pheromone also on them.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Tracks the weave, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sounds.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
A bit crazy. So they're like they always just start.
They don't know quite what's going on. They go into trap.
It's been tainted with a very pleasing pheromone.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Did you freeze anything? Because another thing online was saying
you can put your cheer seeds, say in the freeze.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Don't worry about the you're talking about like it's the
oxygen supply. Oh your your fertilized eggs. Let the cheer
seeds go.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
It must have cost you eight bucks to get five
good check.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Their special hipster cheer seeds, aren't they They've beenvated of
cashew nuts in the daylight and it was that and
some milk and then there he goes, that's thirty thirty
two dollars, and I went, oh, there must have been a mistake.
This is just two liters of milk and some cashew nuts.
She goes, No, these cashw nuts are twenty two bucks.
I don't want them dollars And I went, how are

(08:31):
they twenty two dollars? And it was it was about
not even six inches high. This change is no, these
are special activated ones. I went, I'll have the unactivated ones,
and my stomach well to activate them. I jump up
and down when I'm having these special beats. Perhaps, are
you are Monday winner or loser? Mate?

Speaker 5 (08:47):
I am a loser because I ordered something for my
mum online at Christmas time.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
We gave her a coloring book just for mindfulness, and
she absolutely loves it and a beautiful set of I reckon.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
She's used like half.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
The lead in the pencil. She's going hard at this
book book. It's like we got her a Native Flowers
one and she loves it and she just sits there
for hours. Anyway, She's got like two pages left.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
She said to me, Oh my god, it's such a
lovely pleasing image of the.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Coloring in She really has taken to it anyway. She said, listen,
I've burned through this book. Can you please order me
another one? I said, you know, worries. Excuse me?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
So I just googled adult coloring books because they're actually
quite hard to get right.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, what's this man doing to that lady? And this one?
I think gardening? Is he that bent over doing some
trowel work?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
It arrived yesterday.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
What's happening down this anyway with these guys?

Speaker 7 (09:49):
It arrived yesterday and I got a very panicked phone
call from my mother, my eighty one.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Year Can you get me another ten? I both all
the lead in my pencil.

Speaker 7 (10:02):
She goes, what have you sent me? And I said, oh,
it's there. Don't you love online shopping?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know?

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Twenty four hours lady got it. I just sent it
straight to her.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
She'd some watch this. She'd be getting all those kind
of one of those adverts targeted ads offering your mum
all kinds of toys.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
She said, what you've done is you've sent me some
soft porn. And I said, Mom, come off, and she
said no, it's very compromising, this coloring book deal, is it?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Without going into too much, she does what is it?
Is it?

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Well, position base, it's a bit of yes, there's position
strategy and a few excited bodybits. And I said, no,
you're joking and she said, I'm serious And she said,
what will they say it at probus when I take
that when you go and have coffee.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
He doesn't have to take it along. Look at this, ladies.
You ever tried this one, the old iron lotus?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Wait, so what did the frank when you put it
in your shopping cart? What did the front cover have
on it?

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Well, it just had like a photo of a beautiful woman,
you know, very artistically no artistic with you know, she
might have been naked, but she had this beautiful long hand.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
You've seeing udity. You're gonna it's saying this is what's inside, you.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Know, like the lady in the Clamshow. I guess y
being mistaken that it was.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
You're right, a lord of classical artists. They have scantily
ca yeah artists.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
And I might have been doing three things at the
same time.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
I might have been helping Audrey with the homework and
talking to Chris at the same time and telling the jobs.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Some of those images. They were doing three things at
the same time.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Christian to you and Jack, all evils come in all
the products, So no matter how many seal jars you have,
it won't help any grain products already have them in them,
flower oats, et cetera. Best in Jack can do is
put the bags he's right about, like his five kilos
of Cheersys in the freezer over night. It doesn't know
the product. It will wipe out the weavils.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yes, but then you're still eating the carcasses.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
That adds a little bit crime, little bit of five. Christian,
I had an infestation. That's the word you want to
hear you break for show is an infestation station. It's
going to be the new big thing Gold will be doing.
This is your infestation station. I had an infestation ten
years ago. But freezing the flower notes I've not had
any more since. That's from Margo Christian Tail Partents. Not

(12:20):
to worry. I accidentally did the same thing, but it
was a It was an adult word search and it
was squear words that I sent one to my dad.
He called me a couple of days later, laughing so
hard and thank me. There was some square words he's
never heard of. A swear word search. What fun for
the old timers? Why not? I'm a Monday losey. Yesterday

(12:44):
I opened up the mail and there was an invite
to this gasty new trend of a certain type of
wedding that I believe is called a destination wedding overseas. No, okay, no,
come on, no, no, it's too much. We shouldn't have
to go to another country. You go to the country,
you have your wedding, You send us the photos when

(13:06):
you come back home. We'll all get together. A destination
wedding if you've got to go more than if you've
got to go more than an hour or so, I'm
not coming our hour and tent. No, I think that's enough.
It's too much. Too much.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
It depends what the relation is to the bride.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
And they're getting married together.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
No, but if it's like a you know, a Nissa
an iphew, most definitely you would go.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Did that? Did that? Two years ago? We went all
the way back to the UK for my niece's wedding,
and that was the right thing to do.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
These are friends, that's.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
This is their their friends, and it's the guy and
it's second time.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
I'll see the age.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
If you get an invited wedding, now it's it's normally
someone who's given it another go, you know, And if
you've done some work on myself hopefully, then a little
bit of therapy. There's time. I remember a friend of
mine invited me to his fourth wedding and I was like, wow, Joes,
maybe it's just not right for you because you always

(14:08):
keet used to blaming the exes, and I went, after
a while, you're gonna want it's probably you're the problem.
If this is the fourth time you're getting married, it
might be with you. Would you go to a destination
wedding then for a friend?

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Absolutely No, it depends how close it's the hotels.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
No, but you make a holiday of it.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Why should I have to build a holiday around your wedding?

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Oh, you know what, don't go, But I don't worry.
If it was a close.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Worry, I will not be going. Rest assured. Hopefully this
is my rs VP.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I don't even want to go to a wedding in
the same city.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
There is a beloved team member. Are you okay with ye?

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Anyway, it's better just to say I don't love weddings.
I get bored.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Is everything in life. So get this, Patsy. You know
beautiful Caitlin works on the show. She just mentioned how
she got engaged over Christmas and she was talking about
the wedding and when it's going to be, and jack
Post didn't leap him with a congratulations. He went, don't
invite me. The room rent real quite immediately. No, Patsy,

(15:10):
what I did is I know how hard kate. Then
how do you feel when it When he just went,
don't invite me? I don't like them?

Speaker 5 (15:16):
It was an interesting first response.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, no, firs best response, I am doing a favorite
people when they get.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Well, that was true misery Gus his cheer seeds in
the course when.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
People are doing the guest list is actually really hard,
especially when you come to work colleagues. Should I invite him?
Should I?

Speaker 5 (15:33):
But like you're not happy.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's how we came across don't invite me. I don't
do not sign on.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Interested in you, I said you if you're having trouble
on the guest list, don't need to invite me because
I don't love weddings. But if I'm invited.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
But now she can't invite you now because you know
he hates the idea of you two.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
It's really hard now because I'd like he's.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Made it very he's made it crystal clear. He can't come.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
I would be on it.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
If it's too late, it's expensive, you'd be a we
even at the wedding.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
No, no, I'll be happy. I would love to come.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Oh no, no first response, true response, I'm not coming. I
don't like them. Don't actually said don't.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
You can't back out of that.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
It is such a long day.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Oh can you have a turbo one? Can he done
in half an hour or just quickly after the show's Actually.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Of all weddings, I like the idea of Catlin's the
most because she's not having people at the ceremony. We
just go straight to the dinner.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, it's just a recet.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Think it's because you've killed confidences, questioning her choices. Can
they have they got drive through weddings? They's drive through
everything here? Can we drive through wedding somewhere out in July?

Speaker 4 (16:45):
And I'd love to come. I would love to come.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Will you be getting an invite? Well, it's no. Now
you're going to get Now, you're going to get bomo
because and you remember when you did this and you
did that. I'm not involved in these great stories for.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
A lifetime Christian O Connor Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Christian, I was in Vegas on a holiday last year.
You mentioned about can you do a shame? They don't
have drive through weddings. They do it in Vegas. There
was one we saw that said married within twenty minutes, guaranteed.
Now that is a weddy. You could go to twenty minutes,
perfect a quick congratulations afterwards, You're done within thirty minutes. Christian,

(17:26):
are you're responsible for a reluctant earworm that I now
have over the last twenty four hours since hearing yesterday's show.
I wasn't even aware of it until I was out
walking last night with my wife. She asked what I
was doing. I said, I don't understand. She said, you're
humming something. I looked at hers strangely. Then I opened
my eyes widely in horor. In horror, I was humming

(17:47):
Lord of the Dance from yesterday's show. Then I read us, God,
I've been doing this all day. I woke up here
some morning. I didn't have it. You inserted it in there.
I tried to shake it off, but lumb behold. Standing
in the show. I'm still doing it, he whispers through
my head. It's not gonna leave. Is this it for life?
You all sorry? This morning I had to google something

(18:12):
and after a TV show, was watching the last night
the latest episode of The Brilliant White Notice, and I
have five hundred and two open tabs on my phone
right on my laptop, it's seventy eight And it's like
peering into your mind? Isn't it just even just recent
Google searches? Because in an average day we google so
much as random stuff that you wouldn't have bothered to

(18:34):
even think and look for the answer because you couldn't
years ago before phones and Google, Right, you wouldn't have
even gone any further whereas now because we can, we
do so in the last twenty four hours. Here are
just two things that I've googled. Right, would a wolf
and a dog even be friends?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I think it depends definitely on the type of dog.
So the little toy dog that you guys got, the
yuppie thing.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
He's a snack cheers not respect that. It won't even
to it as a dog. I believe that the wolf
brain would see it as a cat with an attitude.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
They boorder Collie I have. I think she is more
likely to roam with the wolves. I couldn't imagine her
being in the wolf pack.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
So do you believe that?

Speaker 9 (19:12):
Though?

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Would a wolf attack a dog or would a wolf
consider it to be a fellow kind of, because obviously
dogs are domesticated as wolves are not.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
I think it depends on size and nature. I reckon
if a dog's big enough, Patsy, your dog would be excepting.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Oh well, he'd rule the planet if he could, because
he's huge.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Planet.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
There'd be a wolf off if it was prisly and
a wolf wouldn't it the domination?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
I don't think the wolf would just attack the dog
naturally and see his prey.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, definitely, But when they see its like one of
their own. Yeah, one of their own.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
But then I don't think dogs even like each other,
do they?

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
My dog doesn't like dogs quite Just this right, you
go down the dog bark thinking they'd like to hang out.
It's actually just for the dog owners. Dogs mainly don't
like each other, do they. They don't look at each
and going, hey Bob, how I saw steam yesterday? They
just sort of stare at each other, snip each other's
butts and then look at each other or some god
are stealed each other's ball, or will just kick off
with certain I find it with our dogs is it's

(20:12):
certain breeds of other dogs they have issues with. I
don't know if they've got like past live things or
issues or something, but a certain breed of a certain
tub of dog will just get them off barking.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
But do you think it wolf would at least recognize, hey,
this is something.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
It will see all dogs as domesticated pussys and it
will eat them.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Really, but if you saw a Neanderthal and wouldn't you go, well,
we're somewhere along the lines, we're from a similar sender.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
No, no, you know you would friend. No, you're not
wearing Lululemon. Why are you hanging out bayside?

Speaker 10 (20:40):
Now?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Wouldn't that? Then? The other thing I googled after watching
the episode of White Lotus was there's a scene where
a man's appendage is visible. Okay. My wife was horrified. Okay,
and she said there should have been some kind of
warning before seeing this. I said, you know, this is
the this is the director's vision. There's showing and portraying

(21:00):
a middle aged man who is falling to.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Pieces and it's something the second of a glimpse.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, you're tired? Have you? Fox tell shame up? Can
a bit a little longer? Can I get the director's cut?

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Some outsiderably rated.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Right on a second? Oh yeah, it's not a bluey episode.
You know it's white. Notice it's an adult show. But
my wife was horrified, and I went to placate her.
I said, I'm sure it's a stunt one. I doubt
it's a real one. You know, it's a prosthetic one.
I'm sure they use stunt ones for that.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
They don't just oh no, not if it's real art,
they'll have the real.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Deal, I think. Actually, so I went to Google and
I can't believe this is now my Internet history, but
I was. I think it was a stunt one that
he used. That's the real one.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah, say about is reel one?

Speaker 4 (21:45):
They makes me think less of the actor, like, yeah,
like why does anyone what's the problem?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, if you're an actor and they say you listen
and this scene is quiet to be sat there with
a dressing gown getting a junk out. That actor Jason Isaacs,
he was in Howie Potter. He probably doesn't want young
kids getting good future and blood. Hell did you get sacked?
Was there an incident in a Hogwarts? He got his
way out and he's in Chayla and taking drugs. He's
trying to protect his legacy.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Jack, What have you been googling? Recently?

Speaker 4 (22:16):
I had to google if my car was insured? I
didn't know, what do you mean?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Haven't you got like an email with the policians and
you run a wildlife?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Sometimes the Adam inside of my brain just is in comatose.
So I was going, so you are this year.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I've never seen you more organized? You more organized anyone
else in the team. Yes.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
So future me, if I was insuring my car this year,
I would know where to put that file. But old
me he didn't know where to store that. So we
went to a couple of weeks ago, we went to
RACV Goldfields, one of those RACV parks, and someone asked
me if I'm an RACV member, you get a discount.
I go, I think I am, but I'm not sure.

(23:00):
And it was as I was looking through my email,
I was like, I actually don't even know if my
car is insured anymore. It illgal, I'm seeing, well you
get it. No, you get the third part insurance with
your when you pay your road taes in regio.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, so you only had they'd have to insure it
with an insurance company if you want to protect yourself
and comprehensive insurance. But I hadn't been pretending yourself since
twenty twenty one.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh no, out that? No still kidding?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Is there? So I googled is there a database to
check if my car is insured in Australia? Because maybe
I changed?

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Maybe I changed the database's job. What is this database
to look after your ass?

Speaker 4 (23:43):
So I wasn't you with RACV in twenty twenty one?
Maybe I moved somewhere else and forgot I moved.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Did you just search like an email inbox or bank accounts?

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah? I was searching for things like RACV insurance car
But that brought up too many emails of course.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, can't you if you do ach for your like
if you put your number plate in online.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
But then you'll just see if it's registered, won't you.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
No, Yeah, it only tells you if you're registered. It
wouldn't tell me if I had.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
I've just got this image of you calling all your
car insurance coming. My name is Jack Post. Is he
you one with fair question? Actually have a quick look. No,
it's not nice. Hello, my name is Jack Posts. That's
your today bringing what ten different insurance companies? Hello? Have
you got my money?

Speaker 4 (24:26):
And shouldn't it be a database on wine?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
We know all of them databases for everything to look
after all this stuff, It all was down to us.
So what are you to get inshurt?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Well, I want to make sure first I'm not insured
anywhere before I buy insurance.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
How are you going to assist that other than calling everybody?
You just take an RCV policy.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Too many things now come out of our bank accounts
their own, so we don't like at the end of
the year, for all I know someone well one of
the insurance company could take it out and go, oh
that's right, always with Greg's insurance.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
But there's no like check your bank statements and no,
you know, regular months payments going on.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I think you can now online with bank statements. You
can in the search thing on your statements go like insurance,
but they're often not listed sensibly like that are they
It's just got random names.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
But the way that my bank they are doing a
worse job of me than keeping inventory of whatever they
spend money on.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
You need to get them a copy of that getting
things done. But by Dave Ann and Greer.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
We've just been talking about the unusual things that have
been googling, and then as we're asking Google on the
last sort of day or two, and then Jack Assist
put chat to hand grenade in the fish pond of
the show, and it is one hundred percent woken everybody
up listening where people are like, wait, what Robin sleep
does otherw it's quit. It's the phone. I need to
intervene right now. Jack had been trying to work out

(25:47):
if he had car insurance. You believe that when you
get your car red shoe, they look after all that
out the decency of their own heart.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
For you, I thought, and I did misspeak, and I'm
seeing that everybody else knows the true way to do it.
But I said that private insurance is just for if
you want to protect your own car, and your registration
protects every other car on the road. I thought that's
why our regis were so expensive, because we were buying
in built insurance into the registration.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
The privilege of driving on all those well maintained victoria.

Speaker 9 (26:21):
Wrong.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, And I said it like it was fact. So
sorry if you thought that that was fact, it is not.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
And Christian place and this message time thousands at the moment, Christian,
please tell Jack that his REGI only includes third party insurance.
He's not covered if he hits someone else's car for damage.
And please could you reassure this truth fact? Anyone else
listened right now who might be confused or Heaven forbid,
think like.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Jack, Wait, so that's where I am confused. What is
third party meaning?

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Then?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
I thought third party was the other car. No, real
it's third party injury. So it's only if you injure
the person in the car. It doesn't protect the car itself.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
So they could say that their car was are right
off you went into and it was just aside that
cars were right off. You're buying them a brand new
car twenty thirty forty eight thousand.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
I thought that was Vicros who were like, hey, we'll
look up.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Why would they cover that for us? Now? If idiot
drivers out there while we go, Hey, this one's on,
ask mister post you're crappy driving, we cover that no
wonder victory is so much billion dollar debt. They're paying
for everyone's new car paddle beaters, and I.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Have always obviously misunderstood that for thirty odd years.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
No, see, this is what they need to teach at school,
not it's.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
The school, the school system. There are caps in education.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
But we don't got car insurance every day.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Don't come to his a Patsy, So get that apple
watch throughout the show, you go do the pickup dray cleaning,
ordered new Chia seeds at midday. Must be hipster once.
I haven't heard Captain Spot tell the bridge that you
need to get car in insurance. Call our ACV.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Remind me at ten am to get car insurance.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
No nine am, because you leave here at nine am
in the car that is uninsured. You know what I'm
going to do now, I'm going to throw myself in
front of your car. You every pity penny. Yeah, all
that harbl money is coming my way.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Christian O'Connell show gone podcast, good chat.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
That's uh. You sort that out after nine o'clock. Now
everyone knows a bit more. Walk the moon. Thank god
we had that chat on the show. We've saved you
potentially one thousands.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
I think there should be more clear about they are.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
It's so clear when you need liuro confusion amongst the
rest of us, it's gold. On four point three Christian
O'Connell's show yesterday, somehow the show drifted into talking about
saints and how they're over twenty thousand saints and modern
contemporary saints. People are still being canonized years after their deaths.

(29:04):
This morning, we're going to canonize some of you and
Saint you this morning on the show. What other radio
show is offering that? Right now? Take your alpha bucks
and shove it some Saint fax you this morning. Saint fans,
there is a Saint Bibiana, the patron Saint of hangovers,
one for you. Patsy Bibiana died in the fourth century

(29:28):
and became a saint after we discovered that the herbs
that grew from her gravesite were an amazing hangover cure.
What about Saint Drogo, Patron Saint of ugly people. A
physically unattractive hermit could put out a large fire in
the church using the power of prayer. Saint aloisis patron
Saint of gamers, famous for having a miraculously deep focus

(29:52):
Saint Isidore, patron Saint of the Internet, shot out of scorn,
wrote a twenty volume encyclopedia by himself and everything from
logic to grammar and zoology and cosmology. Then why does
he become patron Saint of the Internet.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
All right, So who shows you though that there are
modern saints?

Speaker 3 (30:09):
There is about to be a lot more modern saints.
Here's how you get sainted. We're looking for everyday saints.
To actually get canonized. Eight, you have to be dead,
and then the people on your behalf campaigning for you
to be canonized. To become a modern day saint have
to provide examples of a miracle that you did in
your lifetime. All I need you this, Simply call me

(30:32):
up on nine four one four one o four three
and tell me an everyday miracle you have performed, and
then lo and behold, I will instantly canonize you on
the show. Today, You're going to work and tell everyone
it's not Davidmore, it's Saint Day from now on a
gay How well make you an immediate patron saint of something?

(30:54):
Right now, I'm going to perfore my first canonization, and
I want it to be I want it to be you, Patsy,
Thank you. So what have you done that deserves sainthood?

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Well, me and I reckon.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
Every other mother on the planet performs daily miracles. Mine
happened last week when or got up and her voice
sounded different, and I said to her, you've got ton solidis?
Is your throat saw even before her throat was sw
She said, no, no, no, I feel fine. Just took
her to the GP and guess what she had?

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Tom solidis?

Speaker 7 (31:23):
And she's been on antibiotics. Who needs a GP when you've.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Got a mother in there, Patsy usually cure the illness,
not just identifying. Is a diagnostic saints, you are the
patron saint now of diagnosing. Thank you, you boy? What
have you done that deserves sainthood?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Just yesterday a friend of mine who's expecting a baby
came over and I gave them Gordie's old car seat
for free.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
That's fair, there's just decency. It's just a nice thing.
Four three. The Pope is struggling to understand. What does
he say?

Speaker 5 (32:12):
Smashed?

Speaker 3 (32:13):
All right, I tell you what. Then I'm going to
make you the patron semisers.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
You're right about the smash crusket. We tried our best,
but it's also been in the shed collecting a bit of.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Oh my god like home of Spider and the snakes
in the base of it, the whose things you have
vomiting and everything in there.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
I gave it a bit of a wife.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
A very quick, bright, very quick wipe. All right, So
tell us what everyday miracle have you performed?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Christian O'Connell's show here, and this morning we are canonizing,
which means you get sainted. We're asking to call in
nine four one four one o four three. Tell us
about everyday miracle you have performed. Christian. A few days

(33:08):
ago I had the task of dinner, bath and bed
with the four year old and the six year old
after work nights. So my wife usually does a soda
and of course has it all down pat. On this occasion,
my wife was taking a well deserved night off and
was out with the friends. I was on duty. The
miracle of miracles happened. I dad had both fed, bathed

(33:28):
and in bed, stories read and asleep. Perhaps dare I
say even a little bit earlier than usual, without a
single tear or a raised voiced not even I've already
asked you five times already. Don't make me come up.
But this was a miracle for the ages. A happy
family all asleep and dad with a glass of red
in hand. Paul Saint, Paul Culbert arise, there is.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Something funny I find with Gordy as well. When Byank's
gone out, he's just he's a saying he's a little safe.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
I don't say that yourself.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
No more about not wanting to tell Bianca how good
he was, because he actually even said to me the
last time I did, it's like should we go to
sleep now, which he says to be I.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Mean maybe in I must have done I don't know,
maybe nine or ten in my years of school runs
in the morning when Sarah, because I've always been doing
breakfast radio and so they would always say, oh my god.
When Dad did it the other week, it was we
got that early. I'm always earlier, and we've got that
a early with that bit was crap, but it was

(34:34):
very calm and just a simmering like there's poor woman
who's done it forever for years and years and years
and years, tears and tantrums, and I just perchance because
I'm a I'm not to me. It was all like
I was up early and everything was done because it
was novelty. Years of doing that, I'm not the same
guy doing that. You are a one hit wonder. Please

(34:57):
and also now you starts to sound at the universe.
We'll go okay, buddy, let's just give you a little
test this week. Let's go to Carly now morning, Christian,
I was putting into my driveway at five to nine
yesterday morning when I heard you talking about modern day Saints.
It seemed appropriate because every day I managed to get
both kids to kinder and to school and be back

(35:18):
to start work at nine am. I deal with loss clothes,
extra toys, bumpy socks that need to be changed, and
whatever else the kids decide to throw at me. Every
single morning we navigate caut at school traffic, having to
park a five minute walk from the kinder then a
manic ten minute drive to the school to drop the
elder one off. Some morning, she is lucky if I
fully stop the car before pushing her out. Drop and roll, kids,

(35:41):
drop and roll. And yet every day, by some miracle,
I managed to get home to log onto the work
by nine a m. Saint Carlyly definitely Michelle. Good morning Michelle,
Good morning Christian, Pats and Jack.

Speaker 11 (35:58):
How are you all?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Well? Well, we're ready hopefully can annoys you what every
day miracle have you done? Michelle?

Speaker 6 (36:03):
I will be your saint of finding things. So I
was away in Brisbane on an acupuncture conference, and you know,
my family was here in Melbourne and they called me
up and said, Mum, we can't find the youngest wan
school trousers. And I said, look under the couch and
I've gone what I said, just look under the couch
and there they were. And they said how did you know.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
They were there?

Speaker 6 (36:25):
And I said, well, I put them on the couch
ironed before I left and said put them away. And
I assumed that therefore that wasn't done. So when the
dog gets zoomies and runs up to the front door
and then back down to the back of the house
jumps on the couch, she would have knocked them off.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
And then on the second this is level Mummy, you
are saint Michelle. This is incredible, the patient saint of
finding trousers.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
My mother was always the same, just the Nora of
where everything is in the.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Right, the keeper of the knowledge. Have you looked and
you go. Saint Michele, lovely to speak to you. Okay,
thanks for calling in, Thank you so much.

Speaker 12 (37:06):
Have a great day.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
If I have to lose anything. Now I'm calling Saint Michel's.
Do you know my my trousers are? Catherine? Good morning, Oh,
good morning.

Speaker 11 (37:13):
I am Saint Catherine of the data transfer from your
old phone to your new phone.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Wow, a very modern day, Saint.

Speaker 11 (37:21):
Ye, super modern, super modern. Because I'm in my sixties.
I changed my phone every ten years, whether I need
to or not. And the last time I had to
sit next to the optics girl and she had to
talk me through the whole thing. We moved the SIM
card and I lost half my daughter and a lot
of my photos. I was really upset. So this time
I bought a new phone, this s twenty five, and

(37:42):
I sat down and I followed the instructions and I
sat my old phone next to my new phone and
it transfer.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Funny, Wow, Saint Catherine of day to transfer. Oh my gosh,
you're right. It's a really nervous modern moment, isn't it.
When you're like, please transfer jump from one phone to
the other.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Photos.

Speaker 11 (38:05):
You don't want to have to get on new apps,
and I always.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Hope that the new phone goes for the old phone
goes to the new phone. Hey, listen, these are all
the passwords as well, because then there's nothing worse with
the new phone when you go like, god, damn it,
I've got to click on about eighteen different remember password
links now or set new password. Saint Katherine, thank you
very much for calling in.

Speaker 11 (38:24):
Oh pleasure?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Bye?

Speaker 3 (38:26):
All right, So do you want sainting colder now? Well?
Every day miracle? Have you performed.

Speaker 2 (38:30):

Speaker 3 (38:34):
One of the producers ran in and said, Patsy hows
got a pig story. If you need to go to her,
you know we've got fire. We are holding fire right now. Guys,
rest assured, do not touch that dial. We've got you covered,
all right, sure the next forty minutes. Then the most
what number you need in your life is nine four
one four one oh four three. That's our phone number

(38:55):
where you can be part of the show this morning
and share your stories and not one, not two three
ways up for grabs one thousand dollars for the best
story as soon as we hear it. Thanks to Mercedes
Benz Berrick today. Have you got a store about a
mix up? Might be the wrong venue or the right venue,
but just a wrong date. Some friends of mine were
telling me over the weekend they went to the wrong
funeral a couple of weeks ago. And it wasn't one

(39:18):
of those where there was a photo and they were
in the front row, like you were uninvited at my
mother in law's funeral. It's the it's the it's the family, family, family,
only in the front row. It's the people actually who
are the next in line to be in the coffee mate,
it's stretching that six and five frame out. Nothing to

(39:40):
me like, hey you doing now? You don't not like
that at a funeral either, Hey, I see Jackie. Postman here,
postman here, I see you at the wait Is there food?
Can I validate my parking?

Speaker 4 (39:50):
I didn't get a chair to say hello to you
before it started.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Oh I saw you as I got up to do
the ulogy. Go my god, front row. I'm son in
law one hundred percent. Anyway, the mix up. My friends
were in the front row at the funeral. It starts,
and of course at the funeral, you don't keep looking
around going hi, well jack does, but other humans you
don't turn around to check who's coming in, and Going

(40:14):
comes up doing it. We'll catch it up later on.
So there's heads down, being respectful to the person they
thought they were paying their respects to, and about ten
minutes in they're nut cheese doing to Going. They're saying,
we're at the wrong funeral, and they waiting on the
ten minutes to pluck up the courage because they're in
the front row because it looks like you're coming. You know,
I like this guy. I want no part of this funeral.

(40:35):
I can't sit here and put up with this bs anymore.
But they realized we're now really late for the actual
actual funeral of the person we're really upset about, so
they had to excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, and
head their way out. So we're looking for your stories
about mix up this Mornings on nine four one four
one o four three. Yesterday, I was talking about how
my wife and I were out for dinner and it

(40:57):
was chaos at this restaurant, and the guy told me
that they just had to fire the chef because wait
for this, he'd been caught for the third time eating
the cake that guests had brought along for our birthday parties,
and so it was a three who knew chefs had strikes.
I mean, make your own cake, you know to do it, mate,
don't eat amateurs bringing shabbyly homemade cakes in as well.

(41:18):
So unusual reasons you got fired.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
When I worked at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which are busy,
long days. There's only four days.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
I didn't know you were.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I tell you what we're going to say. If you're
actually doing a lot of full days in him, what.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Did you have to do this?

Speaker 4 (41:36):
So we were running back of house, so you run
and food to the marquees so that all the fancy
people will get the belt drink. So you're busy running
back and forth all day. Can't afford to lose a
team member. We had one guy get fired because he
left midway through the day to get a haircut.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
You are kidding, and that person is on the show
right now is here? Isn't it all right? Unusual reason
we're getting fired? Nine four one four one oh four three?
And then you want to know why Patsy's prime with
the pig story, your pig stories, It is related to
the time waste In about half an hour's time your
pig stories. If you've got a pig story, we'll be

(42:12):
on to hear it this morning. Nine four one four
one oh four three. Patsy, what is it?

Speaker 7 (42:17):
Well, my mum grew up on a farm and they
had pigs and one of the piglets got out and
my pa, so there.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
Was mum's one of eight girls, no boys. So and
because mum was one.

Speaker 7 (42:29):
Of the eldest, par had called out to her, listen,
can you come over help me get this pig in. So, anyway,
Mum managed to usher it into its pen, and as
my Pa opened the gate to let it in, he
sort of, you know, got his foot in you go in,
you go, and accidentally kicked the fence post and broke
his toe. Anyway, he was so embarrassed about the fact

(42:53):
that he'd broken his toe that when he went to
the GP he said that he'd like tripped over. Could
not admit it that he was trying to get the
pig back into the pen, which is.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
I think it's calmer. I think he was trying to
kick that pig.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
No, not at all, wasn't like that.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Thank you, kay for the cham Have you heard it?
Have you heard it? It's what about potential animal cruelty? Anyway,
have you got a pig story? Four? Three? And also,
hell do we get the sound effect? This sounds like

of the days that I thought it was all happening,
and she made my costume for book Week, and she
kept saying are you sure? And I said yes, And
it turns out I've got the days wrong. I had

(47:02):
to I went dress for book Week on the actual
day that it was the athletics tryout, and so I
had to go dressed as a clown with the wig,

Speaker 12 (48:02):
That's okay, thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Okay, please we need the pig story.

Speaker 12 (48:06):
Of course. So I grew up in a small country
town and when I was about eleven or twelve, my
best friend thought it would be a great idea to
steal her mom's credit card and buy a teacup pig
off eBay, or what she thought was a teacup pig.
Sure enough, a few weeks later, when her mum had
realized that credit card has been charged and the pig

(48:27):
rocked up at the front door, everyone was a bit confused.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
The semester, what you said? The pig rocked up at
the door like it was banging the door with its
snout and went, hello, you've ordered me? Think bloody ages
to get here? Trains are all screwed up, and to
get one of those a place on bus services? Where's
the sty.

Speaker 12 (48:44):
Pretty much how it happened, yeah, basically, but essentially the
pig was not a teacup pig.

Speaker 3 (48:50):
It was a full grown natural pig.

Speaker 12 (48:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, grew to be quite large in fact,
and her mum ended up kicking her out into the
back shed, which they can.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Be because that's a bit.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Mistake.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
These kids, after and the punishment living in a start
for a year, they converted it to her bedroom.

Speaker 12 (49:12):
Not too worriedus, okay, okay, and she shared it with
Albert the pig.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Oh my god, the daughter really was. I thought it
was a misunderstanding, but no, so she had to then
live with the pig in the bedroom.

Speaker 12 (49:25):
She she did.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
She faced, really have got to face physically the pigs
now face the book. Last thing is see it at night,
Perston in the morning, your mistake. Wow, that is some story.
Maybe tomorrow we talk about extreme punishments. That is Darcy,

(49:50):
great story. Thank you very much for sharing it this morn.
Let's get a Victoria now. Good morning, Victoria, Good morning everybody.
Good morning Victor. Off you go. You've got a story
that about him.

Speaker 8 (50:00):
Up, Yes, I do.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
So.

Speaker 8 (50:02):
It's probably about twenty five years ago, you know, back
in the day of the nock. Your phone and from
the very early in the morning, about six o'clock, my
phone started ringing, and I was kidding these very unusual
calls and questions about myself. But these calls just kept
coming all day long. So there could have been twenty
or thirty calls. And what I discovered is that someone

(50:26):
in another state had accidentally popped my number down for
some special adult services. So I ended up getting these unusual,
unusual calls.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
And so he's an honest mistake, not like not someone
trying to prank you.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Is the idea of a prank, watch watch out passy
if you're getting boards. Jackiet Boys done one of his
hook of pranks again I know, is that Christian man
escort Jack?

Speaker 8 (50:57):
That guy I thought someone like this was back in
the trading post. Is what I discovered. That someone I mean,
I imagine it's just popped one wrong digiting when the
ad was placed and h and I got the call.
So the lady which I would say, the lady of
the day and not the lady of the night, because
the calls were coming, you know, thinking fast all day long.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
I've never heard the phrase a lady of the day.
A woman of the night, yes, but not a lady
of the day. These are obviously horny daytime people. You know,
a mid morning to night.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Six am is the first call.

Speaker 8 (51:28):
That's the news agency.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
It's like getting your work out him before work, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (51:37):
You know?

Speaker 8 (51:40):
Well, in the end, I left me at the phone
at the on the on a desk in the office,
because everyone knew what was happening, and anyone, you know,
was welcome to go and answer the phone as these
people were just calling all day long.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Did you have to change your number?

Speaker 8 (51:52):
Well, no, I guess I'm not quite sure how often
the trading post came out back then, but it did
die off, I suppose so, But yeah, I guess you
lost down a lot of business.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
All right, Victoria, thank you very much, the story very funny.
Thanks for shoving anyway.

Speaker 2 (52:09):

Speaker 14 (52:19):
Oh yeah, I had a big mix up. That was
my cousin's big Macedonian wedding on the other side of
town to where we lived.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
So we had quite a hike.

Speaker 14 (52:29):
To get there, and I had my parents and brothers
coming down from the country. So we're heading over in
a big convoy. But it was daylight savings the night before,
so instead of putting the crop forward, I put it back,
So we ended up getting a call on the way
to the wedding.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Where are you? Where are you? Well, we're on our way.
We're sort of halfway there there. Then they go, well, the.

Hours exactly awful.

Speaker 14 (53:06):
I've got mom and dad follow me, and mind you,
it was back before your mobile phones twenty years ago

and dad following me, the brothers after that, the big
convoy to the wedding.

Speaker 3 (53:21):

Speaker 14 (53:24):
We finally get there. We're meeting at a pub after
the ceremony, and then before the reception. I walk in
the pub and everyone's Big Ben's here. Big Ben's here.

It was funny at the time. I worked at the
Victorian Animal Aid back in the day and we had
a beautiful pig there called Priscilla, and she was absolutely huge.
She was gorgeous. We all loved her. Anyway, one day
the police decided they were actually chasing a criminal across
the paddocks and basically they jumped into her paddock, which

(54:41):
she went into pursuit of the police, and the police
ended up basically not She ran interference against the criminal
and the police jumped back out of the paddicle.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
They are really dangerous. They attack humans and kill them.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Well, she wasn't. She would have been wanting the atte
She loves people, but they didn't know that and they
basically into the opposite direction.
