Welcome to the Christian O'Connell's Show on Gold. Good morning, Rio,
Good morning, Christian, Good morning Patsy. Did everyonet have a
good long weekend? Love was the tennis?

Speaker 3 (00:37):

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Actually yeah yeah, woke up at seven am to go
out there. But it's still torrential range. Yes, unfortunately, no
lawn tennis for me.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Proper win till weekend. But I have to say yesterday
I was at the big game yesterday King's birthday game
of the Big Freeze. It was the weather cleared up.
It was a lovely afternoon, actually quite mild.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yes, that's the sort of crowd part of the sun
broke throught.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh, yes, you're in the De's lost by one point
and then started fighting each other. Yes, not the game
to behave like that, Stephen, may not the game at
all anyway. PASSI how was your on weekend? I know
you were going away with Chris.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Yeah, we went on a road trip up to Millawa,
northeast of the state, our old stomping ground.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
It's so funny.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
It was a bit nostalgic because I said to Chris,
we weren't that far from my Nanapa's dairy farm. You know,
it's long gone and they're long gone, but I haven't
been back there since it was sold in the early
nineties after my nan passed, and I said, you know,
I'd really like to take Audrey to go and see
where granddad grew up and went to school and all

(01:44):
those fun things. So anyway, we put it in the
Google Maps because I couldn't remember exactly how to get there.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
You know, it's been decades, and.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Of course it takes the shortest route, doesn't it, Which
meant that we were cutting down dirt tracks essentially.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Dirt road, and you're not an attractor.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
We weren't in a tractor.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
We're in we've got a rab for But Chris, honestly,
he's such a cities.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Look at he was doing fifteen k's an hour.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Right.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
We were barely moving.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
The cows and the paddocks next to us were walking faster,
chewing on their grass, looking at us.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
As I was mistagey going to slow the raft fall
can handle.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I said, well, it was pretty corrugated, and I said, look,
you can get her up to forty k's safely.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
It's going to be fine.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
This this car, this suv wasn't built to be a
dirt truck.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
It's like it's not made of cardboard.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
SUVs are meant to be off front. I thought, you
got yeah, you're meant just driving around cities doing the
school pickup.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Took us forever to do, like the thirty k's until
we hit Bitchumen again.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
It was absolutely painful.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Did you have a look at the old farm knock
at my homestead door? No?

Speaker 6 (02:56):
I didn't go that close, but a bit.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I was just like wandering around the perimeitive a place
on a long weekend. Really, you look at the farm.
I didn't like chamber of shotgirls.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
What is it now, Patsy, it's still.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
It's still a it's a horse stut.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Actually, I think they've got horses on there. And it's
you could tell like they've.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Changed the house. They've renovated my nana's house. You will laugh.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
But it was like a rendered place. But it was
pink and it had like splotches.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Of white on it. It sounds crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Make Kevin on grand's eyes. I know it probably quite cool.
Now everything comes around, doesn't.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
It, Like Jacko, they've painted it gray. It looks beautiful actually.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
And there was a dairy at the back which my
dad helped build, and the mailbox that dad built as
like a thirteen year old. Dad wanted a photo. He said,
if you go up there, can you please take a
photo of photo of the mailbox.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I want to see it's still standing.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
And it's still there.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
So I took photos of it to show him so
he'll be wrapped. It's like an old milk can and
it's you know, like in the country. There's five different massive,
big mailboxes.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
But it was lovely actually.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
To be back Alsome. I'll tell you about something spectacular
that happened, not to me but somebody else. Next yesterday
the Big Freeze.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Wow, Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yesterday it was the Big Freeze. I think it's the
eleventh year that's been going out. It's an amazing institution.
What a legend, Neil Danna here is. Yesterday I was
invited to before the game to a lunch and I
was invited along with Mick malloy. Now, Mick is one
of my radio heroes. I've been lucky enough to meet
Mick a couple of times. He's a lovely guy. So
I was very excited that Mick and I were going

(04:39):
to have a long lunch together. And Mick is a
legend for his love of a long lunch. So we
were told to get to this Olympic room where there's
going to be six hundred people there. Bandanaher got up
and did an incredible speech about his dad and the
charity and all the money they're raised and what they're
doing with him. It was incredible. So anyway, I get there,
I'm very excited. I go to our table and I
say that my name is next to Mick, and I

(05:01):
take a photo of it. I send it back to
my wife because she knows what Mick means to me
in the show Martin and Maloy, I still have. The
first radio I had was in Australian in nineteen ninety eight,
and obviously there was no podcast in them, but he
would tell me about this ossie duo called Martin Molloy
and I thought it was just one person. Went no, no, no,
it's two people. Okay, very Australian wage just crunched two

(05:21):
names together and don't belong together, and he gave me
a couple of CDs Are Theirs Poop Shoe and Eat
a Grease, which I still have for this day. So
actually I took a photo to my wife, and I
was actually taking it to myself, like, oh my god.
If I hadn't known those years ago and I first
heard how great they were and how the kind of
radio you could do, I would have got such a
kick that eighty is. Twenty seven years later. I'm here,

(05:43):
I'm sat next to Mick. We're both doing Redfast shows
in Australia. Yeah, how cool. Mick a rives, he sits down.
We're having our first beers. Great atmosphere. Everyone's table is
all talking about one thing that I can't talk about
for legal reasons. Second beer turns up the atmosphere. The
atmosphere is great then, because tables are crammed into this

(06:03):
function room. It's beautiful room, the Olympic room at the
mcg Glorious afternoon and a long day ahead of us, right,
and there's a lot of it's young kids who are
bringing trays of drinks over. I don't know how this happened.
I don't know how this happened. But Mix sat there
and there's a girl at his shoulder with a tray
crammed full of frothies. Somehow she stood there and then

(06:26):
the next second she's chucked up. Shebously not chucked it purposely,
but it just got all of them. And I'm talking
about eleven bits right overflowing onto Mickey boy. Oh and
you didn't catch any no, no, no, no no, But
I saw it all happen. I was like, what's he
going to do?

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Poor girl?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
What's your move from that?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
What can you have to wear it? And I don't
mean just like it's he's brushing off. I mean he's
poor me. He's drenched like ringing, Yeah, he's drenched in
being She's so apologetic, like really really girl, No, no, no, no, son.
You know, and there's six hundred people there, right, everyone
knows like the clashing of grasses on to our table.

(07:09):
They could see Mick rushing himself and because these days
you can't react, and not that Mitt would have them,
because you know, suddenly your phones yea headline and let's
fay said triple and breakfast. They've had a couple of years,
Mick goes as Okay, gets up and he sees that
and you can see it's it's all down his shirt,
and not just that, it's all over his pants. Now

(07:30):
Mick lives in Richmond's. He goes, I'm going to go
home and change out. As soon as he walked up,
he ain't. Mick never came back. He never came back.
So my lunch with time it was twenty two minutes.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm an amazing guy yesterday called Brad Fanning. His dad
is in footy folklore. His dad great name, Fred Fanning.
Oh wow, still holds the record for kicking the most
goals in one footy game. Nineteen po wow, nineteen goals
in one game. And this is I think the nineteen forties.
Whether this was before handballs, what do you mean, Well,

(08:12):
they obviously just had to kick it to each other
and be a lot better at kicking than they are now.
And they can't slot one in front of the sticks.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
I never knew there was a time beforehand.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Now when he told me that I was and when
he went earlier, well, my dad, you know, he's a legend.
Fred Fanning and I was like, hell, yeah, you're not
forgetting that Fred Fanning did something in his life That
name alone screams legend status. It's actually pleasing to say
Fred Fanny. Fred, Yes, you're nineteen goals in one game.

(08:41):
And you know when someone says something to you, you
just presume they must be wrong. Yeah, so bet in
mind this guy would know. It's family and AFL Folklon
I went, it can't have been nineteen. He goes, it's
not for guys just washed up here from England only
a couple of minutes ago to say to me, I
think you and your family are spinning on here. So

(09:02):
I get my phone out, I have a look at it,
and sure enough, Fred Fanny again it was. It was
a dec player against the Saints.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
Google in front of him.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, you're googling it away.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
I don't believe.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm just getting ready to apologize.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
It does sound like a bit of a like you.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Know, someone's had a couple of bits. And also, trust me,
you go to the Footye. There are a lot of
these characters who claim that my dad is my granddad.
Kicks A thousand or whatever used to play on Max
Gorn and was like a billion times better. There's a
lot of bs at the footage. Yes, right, that just
is the brear bings out the taolltails. I won't remember

(09:42):
my knee. I would kick twenty eight in one game.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I expect you on Dunstall.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah. The person who is the closest to ever replacing
Fred Fanning for the most goals in one game is
Jason Dunstall. It's seventeen. What hell of a lot?

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yes, I wonder I can't think of the most, Like
Buddy kicked twelve in one game against the Kangaroos.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, which is amazing. Yeah, and so you did you
go and see the Swans game of the weekend?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yes, I went back to the Haunted House the mcg.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Swan's fans. It obviously the D's be you a couple
of weeks ago. Too many chokes at Grand Finals.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yeah, the D's game two weeks ago was the first
time we've been back there since the Grand Final. And
now against Richmond and I was honestly had a pit
in my stomach because you can't lose against I know,
because you can't. I was like, we're going to lose this.
We've just been playing so badly. We're going to lose
to this bunch of like sixteen and seventeen year olds,
and so will my partner, his sister and fiance, who

(10:39):
lovely people. They were down here to just be around Melbourne,
so we took them to the Swans game.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
But they're not as passionate, say as I am.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I see, I've taken family to games where the D's
are playing, and obviously they're they're from the UK, and
it's not I'm not a good social hang if they're
not playing, well, yes, that's a horrible way to see me.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Oh my god, what's happened to him?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Say, I got in trouble.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
I had a little talking to it quarter time, just
right in, he said, he said. And I thought I
was being toned down, but apparently I was being quite
aggressive and frightening the words. I was like, oh, this
is me on my good behavior and all goes. You
were abusing the guys running the scoreboard because during the

(11:29):
first quarter we were getting absolutely mauled by the umpires.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
I didn't know what the free kick count was.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
So I was I was yelling at the umpires right.
I remember the first game I went to and I
was yelling because I just thought it's the same as
in England. And if you've ever been to a football
match in the UK, it's NonStop noise, right y American
songs being made. I remember interviewing Adam Sandler once and
he'd been to see his first football game and he
said he wants to make a documentary about it. He
hardly watched the game. It is because it's like a

(11:56):
comedy club. There improvised very funny verse in chorus comedy
songs and he's not but that just happened two minutes ago.
How they how they communicating? Everyone knows the improvised was
some hive mind. Yeah, but anyway, so I just thought
that's how it was here. But he can get quite quiet, yes, yeah,
a library sometimes notice everyone sat in silence. So first

(12:18):
time I went to, I was obviously yelling at the
umpires and someone goes, oh, he might have heard that
I was yelling. So he goes from here to his
ears and he goes and he goes all right, but
that could hurt his feelings. Again, I'm trying to do that.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Someone has just sent me a very emotional text and
it's all in caps lock No, it's use for that
in this day in angel phones, because you've gotta keep
because sometimes it knocks you back out of capsulet. You're
going to go, no, no, no, this ala needs to
be capsule, deliverery, not certain words. We're gonna emphasize. The
whole thing needs to be yelled at him this message
in campslot. Gary Ablett Senior kicks nine in a losing

(12:59):
GF in eighty nine and one Norm Smith most in
a GF. I was eleven and I still carried torment
from that game.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Maybe that's all the it's the torment, Yes it is.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
I was there with my dad Hawthorne in that period.
Probably best team ever, Thank you very much. Some scars
never fully healed today, my friend, I get it all right.
Let's play the game we play now every week on
the show called What was the Year? My friend? We
do this lot now. When you hear a song or
you're hear a new story about a TV show, a movie,

(13:34):
you'll try and speculate what was the year, And normally
you're about ten or twenty years off because you don't
realize that the nineties was thirty years ago. Not like
I said the week twenty years ago?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Do you know what they released Free Willie? Was it
eighty nine or ninety three? Or when did Tidna record
Life four brands? I'm not very good with taste. Does
anybody they know? What's the year again?

Speaker 3 (13:59):
What's the year? My friend?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
What's the year? My friend? Rio and pats taking each
other on again at the moment. Then last week's tally
Rio had Patsy too.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
We're keeping now.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
In caps lock? All right, that's what was her? Hear
fight Club?

Speaker 3 (14:21):
What a great club is?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
You do not talk about fight Club?

Speaker 6 (14:28):
Geez, I'm going to say ninety six.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Warrigans two thousand, one year Out nineteen ninety nine, Fight
Club nineteen ninety nine. My eighteen year old daughter watched
it for the first time last week, really absolutely loved it.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's just great, smart movie. Though she annoyed me because
at the time, the first time he saw it, no
one had any idea about the spoiler in it and
the huge revealing that she claims that she predicted it
before at the start. I'm like, come on, now, come on,
that's big talk.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
A couple of years ago, I tried to get the
Brad Pitt Fight Club body I googled how do I
get Brad Pitt fight Plus?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Did you see his workout?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
It was like sprinting for ten minutes in between sets.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yes, and then he'd go and do what's being in
the gym when.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
There's a dude running at full pelt, then going and
doing the exercise, then running at full pelt. That's the
rig you get. But he put meself through. I think
he just drank all eight soap as well. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Crazy. I looked at it. I was like, it's not worse,
it's not worth, not worfect.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right? So what was he and my friend nineteen
ninety nine for Fight Club? What about Michael Jackson's biggest
selling album, Stall of all time, seventeen million copies sold worldwide,
Michael Jackson's.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
I'm going to say a year, I'm gonna say eighty six.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I'm going to.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Say eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Earlier, earlier, earlier, nineteen eighty two for Michael Jackson.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
Nearly eighty two.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah. The only thing I remember really about that period
was just what a big moment it was in pop culture.
When we first saw the video, Yes, fifteen minutes, it
was like a movie and you were told weeks beforehand.
It is going to be shown at this time. So
it's a set time during an ad break on UK TV.

(16:17):
You're going to all see the world premiere of Michael
jackson thriller, the John Landers directed video. And you've never
seen anything like it. Even now, go and watch it
on YouTube. It still stands just the time video you Yeah,
you're kidding.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
No, I can't remember the last just video clip. I've
you know, gone and watched to watch them anymore.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Do you remember how it used to make an artist? Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah right.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
MTV went from a certain network then overnight became a
network that played music videos. Yeah. Everyone, do you remember
they used to have the VJs. Yes, it's like a
radio show. People call, that's a request songs songs.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Andrew g who's like now the host of the Bachelor,
That's how he got his start on video hits.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
All right, So Threader nineteen eighty two. All right, let's
go to TV and a brilliant TV show, smiles David
dutch Oveny.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
This was at the peak.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Oh I think my year twelve going into UNI. So
I'm gonna say.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
One real I was going to say ninety five.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Nineteen ninety three, brilliant, brilliant show. Did you Like Your
Past Love?

Speaker 6 (17:33):
I absolutely loved it.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I also had a huge crush and stalled it on
Gilly and Anderson as well.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Oh yes, it's great still do she is so good.
She was so good as Margaret that it's.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Rare that that tested my fan as market that I
was like, okay, boy, pretty tested here in this iron lady, Judy.
And I'm not into this role play with youress up
as the stop doing it for me. I'm in it
for the long run. Okay, Ga, I'm with you all
the way. All right, let's STI with TV and let's

(18:06):
talk about Breaking Back. Oh yeah, that first came out Breaking.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Back, Okay, two thousand and eight.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
He's only got one.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
We were like to the party with that and absolutely
adored it. We probably watched it, I don't know, three
or four years ago.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
One of the greatest shows of all time. Perfect it
going from caring about him, yes yes, I don't ever
remember going back to actually liking him again, and one
of the one of the rare examples of a long
running TV show that was high quality actually getting the
ending right, Yes, genuinely genuinely heartbreaking ending, but the right way.

(18:52):
It couldn't it couldn't end happily him looking through the window.
And that's just, oh my god, brilliant, such a great thing.
I remember watching an interview with Vince Gilligan, the creator
of the show, and he used to be a writer
on mad Men and The Sopranos as well, and he
pitched it. The guy said, you know what is the idea?
Looks about chemistry teacher that he gets cancer, can't afford

(19:14):
his treatment. He then becomes a drug dealer. He went,
I'll give you them money for the pilot. This is
the darkest pitch of a TV show I've ever heard,
but I'm kind of interested. It was brilliant, all right,
one last one, Patsy, This should be an easy one.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
In yep, oh okay, late eighties.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
So I am going to say, oh gosh, I don't
want to get this wrong, but I'm going to say
eighty seven, Patsy.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I actually was hoping you get it right. You love
this music, you love the Sways?

Speaker 6 (19:53):
Yeah, I love the Sways. Interviewed the Sways once.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
He was delightful, absolutely delightful, not at all a star,
very down to earth.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Overrun his interview like two hours late. Made sure you.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Say he gave you two hours? Anyone about for two hours?
Your partner two hours?

Speaker 5 (20:15):
But he wanted to be sure have you got everything
you need? Is there anything you want to ask me?
And I was so nervous and he just calmed me
down to what was.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
The situation?

Speaker 5 (20:24):
So you just released the movie? What was it to
Wang Fu? Thanks for everything? Yes, brilliant movie. And he
was just on the publicity tour of that and I
went into the Height in the city and interviewed him there.
It was like a big press call, but we had
like a one on one and he had all the
time in the world for people to get photos and Lisa,
his wife.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
All times have change. Now you get seven minutes with them. Yes,
it is crazy.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
Yeah, no, he was just divine, so lovely.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
And perhatsy. Where is this? I'd love to hear the
audio of you and Swazey. You must have it.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Check if I've still got it. Actually I might have
it on CD. I'll have to have a look in mind.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Get you know, like Tyder Durdan, it's been made up.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
It's not got witnesses of it.

Speaker 1 (21:08):

nine this morning to invite the audio. It didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Dreaming the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Last week on the show, I found out that we
only get delivered bread every two weeks. We work for
a very tightwor organization, like I guess most organizations are,
but this radio station particularly tight one. So anyway, fresh bread,
but only every two weeks. So you look after those
slices and it's.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Just Woolworths, you know, sandwich brand.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, home brand, not even toast loaf.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Thank you very much to Healthy Bait. Now, Healthy Bait
do great bread. I actually buy their Corsan sourdough loaves sliced,
very nice to do, great wraps. They heard this last week.
They've just dropped off. It's like a suitcase full of bread.
There's enough. There's enough for about two loves per team members.
It must have been, you know, playing with Michael Jordan

(22:06):
on the balls. You know we're not getting free n keys,
but I'm giving you free loads of bread. Guys. I'm
changing lives, one loaf at a time.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
There was a poor guy delivery guy named Paul wandering
around the station trying and.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
He goes, oh, are you are you?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
And I was like, hate that's right? Is that brand?
He goes, Yeah, this is bread. I've got to come
every Monday morning.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
We'll be shoving it into a pie holes by the
fistball for the next seven days. So hang on a minute,
we're Tuesday. We've got six days. You got all that
mountain of bread. We've got to team start chomping. Get
out there, will feed the pigeons as well. Team after
the show. And so I saw something yesterday. I was
there was queuing up to go to the game at
the MCG. There was you know you have as soon

(22:47):
as you go in, you're queuing in, you're going to
get your little ticket up and some of this know
and if you've got a bag, they search you. And
those people that got the big fluoro jackets. Yes, and
they have a wide age range of the people. Yes, yes,
it could be some of the twenties. Next minute, you've
got to go old grand dad day.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
But there's nothing in the middle.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
There's nothing in the middle of its right at the edge. Okay. Anyway,
as im stood, I'm there at twelve thirty to get
him for a way too early lunch and I was
like twelve thirty is it half three? That came started?

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Half three?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Getting out of here until six o'clock. It's a long
day anyway. As him queuing, I'm chatting to the old
timer who's doing it right. And he has got the
most beautiful he's got white hair, but he's got a
white I don't know what you call this mustache. It
curled upwards and he was as he was chatting to me,
he was massaging it like the Pringles maskt and I

(23:40):
said that it's a beautiful manicured Tashi got there and
he went, thank you, drive day. And I said, you know,
do you put any oil in it? He goes, no, no,
they do beard oil now, or I guess tash oil
as well. Or you can put some vacline in it
to try and you know, keep it into shape. Do
you keep it?

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Do you have like hair? Jill like, surely the oils.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Their musk too, because it was like, you know, old
people's eyebrows start going crazy. It was like a hedge
that was just neither the trim. If I had some
little nailses on it, just give you on your top lip?
What is that? Yeah? What one is that curls up

(24:20):
and around, you know, cartoons.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
Like a tincink coin on each side of his lip.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
The only way I could describe it team is is
it the pringles Man's Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, why that
pringles man?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Like an old like Western frontiersman or something like that.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, sort of signified class. Didn't like even you're
thinking about the facial hair of Colonel Sanders. Yes, he
had the goate, didn't he he did? What's that? I
thought at first it was a hound one, and I
thought that's the classic sort of y m C. A
droopy one.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah, that's like the seventies thick bushy, not as pet.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Apparently it is the handlebar mysta, so it can go
down or up around.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
I think that's called something else that's like the Droopye, No,
the one like the merv hughes, the one thatch and yeah,
the chopper, I think that's a different one.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
The he tell you what, It was a joy to
see because normally you only say that men do well.
They won't grow it within November because it's only a
couple of weeks. That must take years to grow that.
But it wasn't a hipster Yeah, and that's what was
great to see that as well. The other thing I
saw yesterday, right, there was someone who clearly had an
old fashioned wig on. Now these days, with hair technology,

(25:37):
you wouldn't know, all right, no, you probably wouldn't go okay,
but you know those old fashioned wigs. Well, it's just
like a sort of basically that's a wig. It wasn't
a week per actually right, it was a two pay like.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
A dead skunk on me yea.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
And it's I don't know if you think it's hair,
it's like a crylical. It screams fair. And I could
see people looking around a double Oh wow. You don't
see one of those very often in the world. Anyway.
As the afternoon went on, on this long lunch and
then the game, I noticed as he was getting drunk
and drunk, it was moving and it was coming forward

(26:18):
of the game. He said, he's going to leap up
with and that thing is going to fall onto it
onto the oval, maybe still Sidebottom's head.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Christian Connell Show Podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Before we get into what we're about to get into here,
we're still talking about mustaches. Yesterday, when I was heading
into the g I saw a guy working out at
the front checking all the security doing good, important work.
And he had a hand of our old score. This
guy would have been in his early seventies, lovely guy.
And I was chalking about his amazing mustache. It was
a white hand of our curled, curled, curled upwards. Wow,

(26:53):
and a few layers.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
How do you even get the curls? I want to like,
how do you mean curls?

Speaker 1 (26:59):
I mean you know that that coil you gain that
you like to get rid of the midgies. He had
that on his upper lip. It was beautiful a thing
to behold and not a hipster Christian. I've just googled.
I've got work to do today. I'm at work, listened
to the show. Thank you very much, Hannah A research
for the show. Now, Hannah Rhea was right. The curled
mustache is the handbar. The droopy one is known as

(27:21):
the horseshoe or biker makes sense. Yep, thank you very much, Hannah.
When I was trying to explain what it looked like
a suddenly the only thing I compare it to was
I still remember there's a guy with a handlebar attash
on the front of a can of pingles pringles. For
some reason, who is that guy.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
That Christian is Julius Pringles.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
He's gonna name me, yes, Julius Pringle.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Mister Julius Pringles is historicial name. Well, he was invented
in nineteen sixty seven as the mascot for obviously Pringles,
but interestingly he didn't have a name. Someone changed his
name on the Wikipedia page in two thousand and seven
to Julius Pringles.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
These two college students.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
It is going to be a thing. Two Stone students
are going to come up with what do we call him?
Julius Springle. I love that JP.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
But then so they were owned by the Procter and Gamble,
which was a company, and then they were brought out
by Kellogg's and Kellogg's just went on their Wikipedia page
and saw that his name was Julius Springles and then
adopted that as the official name.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
So that's what he's officially named as after the prank.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
He used to have a lovely center partying, but is
now bald.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
He's gone through a few different makeovers.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, he did.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
He had he had a center part like I do.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
He's had actually had a trimmed one with sort of
one a fringe that comes right down.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
To his eyebrows. He's had a lot of different looks,
but yeah, now he's completely bored.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Now this is the kind of information and top entertainment
that you come to the show for because the next
time you see a kind of Pringles, you'll go Judis
and people actually will go, wait, how do you know what?
You can tell the story? There's two crazy students who
are like giving him a backstories or origin story? How
long before he gets a movie? Made him as well,
Julius springble and make a movie now? But and anything

(29:09):
small things. Every week on the show we do small
thing Big Rais because there's the small things in life
that drive you over the top. So do not go
to work angry. Call up the rage line now rage
hard on thirteen fifty five twenty two. I'll be too
angry to even speak. You can text me please not

(29:30):
all in blocks cap my text number four some five
O three one oh four three over the weekend and
Amazon yet another Amazon will be turned off my wife.
But this one was in one of those padded envelopes
that explode. Oh that great envelope asbestos, it's all over

(29:52):
your clothes and glitter. Yes later, why did they raise
what is that stuff envelope asbestos. It's the only way
I can describe it.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
It goes everywhere and there's no way to open it
without revealing.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
I tried, Yeah, I tried, so disenabling a bo I
didn't cut that red wire, but it still just goes. Yes,
those parted envelopes, Patsy, what's it for you? Small thing?
Big rage?

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Look, I know we're in a cost of living crisis,
but if I find out who the person is that
is watering down the liquid soap, Yeah, in the women's loops,
I am not impressed. You can't even get any soap SuDS.
Same in the men's It is right me insane. It

(30:39):
is not loop and there is no way that any
germs after going to the toilet are getting removed.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yes, the ratio is I reckon, it's ninety.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You know what they're doing with us. They're giving us
hand cordial liquid soap cordial and it was thicker.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Someone is one and pouring water in and it's.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
The same person that is only giving us bread every
two weeks, sue the boss.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
You also what I hate it?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
It is you can't squirt it without it because it's
so liquid.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
As soon as you squirt it.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
You go to do a normal strength squirt, you squirt
and all over your shirt.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
That disgusting.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
It is disgusting, not on. So what you're saying to
him is they now need to appeal to a liquid
soap dispensing. I've got free bread for the team. I mean,
people are going to think, are they in a war zone?
Are they broadcasting from the Ukraine? If you can hear
my words, please send us normal gloopy soap.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
They've unplugged the hand dryer as well.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Maybe that's using too much electricity the hand Now we
just have handtael. I would have bought the hand dryer
would be better for the environment.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Probably use half a what a week? They must be
looking at every single overhead? How long fo before we
lose the three p loo roll? And it's just that old.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Square like the tracing paper, baking paper.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Sometimes bring my own toilet paper in I have organized.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm not kidding bands to have a big dump during
the show.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Because you know what they've invented now, they've invented biodegradable
wipes like wet wipes.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
That you can use for your business, but you can
put in the toilet. Really, I started bringing them to
work if you ever need them.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Been embarrassing. So in the middle of the show, I'm
going to go to you, how many do you need? Well?
Actually had a big carry last night. They don't make
it awkward for me. I remember at the school right.
I went to a Catholic school, right, and it was
so strict. If you need the other toilet, right, and
it was a number two, you had to ask for

(32:52):
lou roll and again you have to say how many
sheets trams coming back? We're close to that Catholic primary score. Anyway,
where were we? Small thing, big rage? And also if
you are a wholesale that can provide me with a.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Small thing, big rage. What's it for you? The small
thing that gives you big rage? Trish, Good morning, Trish.
Tris's a small thing big rage. When speaking of someone
who asks your name at the start of the call,
then halfway through the call they say, what was your name?
It's not like I've changed my name during the call.
My name's still the same when I spoke to you

(33:35):
a minute ago, Christian. It sends me over the edge.
The other thing I get a lot of someone will
just change my name. So yesterday I met someone and
he said what's your name?

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Was?

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Said Christian, And then about five minutes say to someone
else came and joined the group and this guy and
just he goes, this is Chris, and I not not
not not Chris what I said to you? And you
don't get to edit it? Yes, Chris. So it's a
more thing, big rage. Waiting for someone to come out
of a car park. The person gets in the car
and then starts checking their message, and the engine on,

(34:07):
you know, the lights, and it's always having at Cole
looks at the phone.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
Don't worry about your Facebook things all right now?

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Cor Instagram, reil Oh, don't wait about my Space? Are
you asking Jeeves? Something?

Speaker 7 (34:22):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Nicole? Good morning, Nicole?

Speaker 8 (34:37):
Look, you know what? Driving in the mornings. Normally I
am really annoyed with drivers who don't do the speed limit.
But this morning, my son's alarm clock at four point
thirty this morning he goes off and anybody snoozes it
every three minutes.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Until oh yeah, oh my god, and then that's it.
You're up. You get so you can't go back to sleep.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
No, I can't go back to sleep. My alarm doesn't
go off till six fifty. I just don't understand how
a teenage boy can listen to an alarm every three minutes.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Why don't you just get up? Yeah, those teenagers, those
teenage boys, their heads are thick, aren't they annoying?

Speaker 8 (35:19):
Going off? In your head? You can hear it even
when it's not going off. I can still hear it.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
In and Nicole, when you start your day two hours early,
like you've just done, you're scooy for the rest of
the day.

Speaker 8 (35:30):
Yeah, I'm done. I need plenty of these this morning
to get and get a class of thirty one kids
to look at.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Me messing with teaching Nicole today. Nicole, thank you very
much you call. Have a good day. Hope it isn't

This system has worked for years. Perhaps he's got a
great story about mistaken identity.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Over the weekend, so funny.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Over the weekend we went up to Millwa as I
said earlier, and stayed at the beautiful Lancemall had just
the loveliest weekend, lots of open fires, freezing.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Cold weather for this weekend.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
It was a top of about six degrees so close
to the snowfields, you see, so all those cold winds
were coming down perth.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Day four in Russia. Mate, it's cold, telling you it's
Bard take these short six is fresh.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
It's freezing.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Anyway, We're sitting in the lounge area where you know
everyone sits before dinner and has a drink, and you
have a chat to people that you wouldn't normally chat to.
It was lovely, but the fire had gone out. Anyway,
Chris at old get up and fix that. There was logs.
They're ready to you know, they had an open fire
growing up. So he's removed the great and got a
beautiful cracking fire going again. Anyway, a couple of hours later,

(37:45):
we're in the restaurant having dinner and one of the
other patrons staying must have thought he was a staff member.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
The something it does look like he does. It's it's
likely rather andre you. Everyone has a type in yours
is you love a GM and that sounds for general manager,
not as and m GM.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Another reception, kink.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Could you come out and sort my fireplace up? Might
be up in a minute.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
Stoke my fire. Anyway, This gentleman came up and tapped
him on all the fires. This guy came up and.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Tapped him on the shoulder and said, oh, just would
you mind please the fires?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
We should ready be sat down joining with elderly guests.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
Chris got no worries, mate, and fixed the fire.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
He's a good gamer like that, he would do that.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yeah, no he was. He was fine about it.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
So they thought he was a staffer. I guess he
was in like a black suit with the white shirt
which might have.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Been away lady. Maybe this is thirteenth beer. That's in
the first half an hour. All right, so we're looking
for your stories of mistaken identity.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Christian Donald Show on podcast.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
I now your stories of mistaken identity. This happens quite
a lot to me. I came. I think it comes
to my dad. Remember when I was a kid and
Margaret Thatcher was the PM. She her son was called
Mark Thatcher. He went missing for a couple of days
as a very big story. Now worried that he might
have been kidnapped. It anyway, just went missing. And where
I grew up, in the city that I grew up

(39:32):
has got very famous one of England's biggest and oldest cathedrals,
and my dad was taking me around there one day.
Oh the fun we used to have in the eighties.
Pays daddy want to go and see that big ass
cathedral again? Oh my world those staying glass windows. Can't
get enough of those. Anyway, My dad looks a bit
a lot like Mark Thatcher. And someone must have found

(39:56):
A police officer said, we found him. He's leading a
small board child around Winchester Cathedral. So a very polite
police officer, excuse me, some you Mark Thatcher the authorities
with confumer? Doesn't I know? My name is Leam O'Connell.
And the guy was like, are you sure you're not
son of a fair enough if you do want to

(40:18):
know that you're making Thatcher's son, whether he was hiding
in playing view with a small child in the cathedral.

Speaker 6 (40:25):
And how young did your dad look?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Well, he did? He look like the kind of age
that could be Mark Thatcher anyway. Yesterday, okay, I'm at
the D's game, okay, and I'm at this lunch beforehand,
and there's a former D's legend up there doing a
talk and I'm talking to somebody ready. Then there's somebody
else next to me. He's filming some of this just
on their phone. And two things happen at the same time.

(40:48):
You know, when actually someone says something to you, you
don't you didn't really listen to it. So polite. You
just go yeah, this happened to me, and said, but
the guy said to me, you two played together or
before your time? And I went cowd on talking to
this guy, and then obviously a minute later I went,
hang on a minute, but this guy had gone, he'd
moved off. The ship sails, the ship had saund and

(41:09):
and I'm like, wait, is he going to say to
someone to change that form of d's playing. That guy
just does a radio show. I see here, someone has
to go. Wait. He told me he went a local
wilworst Metro's undercover cop. He's a kipractor, he's the DJ.
And who is this guy? He's a master of many

(41:33):
trades or none? We got Isabella. Welcome for the show. Isabella,
Hello everybody, Good morning, good morning. So what's your story
of mistaken identity?

Speaker 4 (41:44):
So about a year ago.

Speaker 8 (41:46):
I needed an X ray done on my risk. I
done something it taste and I was sitting down waiting
in the waiting room my dad and then older gentlemen
have gotten up winter that's all right, mate.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
You can go sit next to your girlfriend.

Speaker 7 (41:57):
And I just kind of looked at me and a
shock so classed off a bit.

Speaker 8 (42:02):
But that was kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yeah, that's really question. Are you more than had done it?
Strange vibes, It's about a funny story. Thanks according you mate.
Have a good day, you do, thank you. Chris. Good morning, Chris,
Good morning, Good morning Chris. What's your story of mistake
and identity for us?

Speaker 9 (42:22):
Well, my mistaken any of My wife got the phone call.
I'm just out of the void. I'd already put speak
on the phone about probably half an hour previously, and
it was the media who got hold and rang her
to see if she wanted to make a comment after
my passing. We have the same surname, and she said,
I was just talking to him, and she said, why
do you ringing to me? He's just a gardener, He's
just crazy. No, I would say, I'm all over the news.

(42:44):
I don't know if he was an MP or a sailor,
but he drowned in somewhere in New South Wales and
we live done on the morning tam Pinsula. So they
got hold of the whole story and said, now you
know you passed on and she goes, no, no, no,
he hasn't. But there all of a sudden it made
our local paper, but not the same person, but they
didn't sell people that we hadn't heard from for years,
ringing and we're sorry they're sending my wife flowers.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Thought, god, it's a quiet news day. He's going to
be front page news to it the carpenter for a week.

(49:44):
On Friday, I was still a want these three questions
that one of my daughters asked me, and we end
up talking for two hours answering just these three questions.
First one was that we sheard on the show on
Friday a moment in your life you wish you could
go back to, and you can't change it, but just
to re experience it. Some of those that came in
over the weekend for you, guys, are beautiful. Cynthia, I'm
jealous of this. Tonight I saw Robin Williams Live, the

(50:06):
Great Robin Williams doing live improv at the Tennis Center.
Funniest comedian I ever saw, Leslie seeing Paul McCartney and
concert or income true. Uh, you know. My mum went
to see Springsteen last week and it was the first
time he's ever playing at Liverpool Stadium. Football stadium was
called at Anfield, very very famous ground. First time Springsteen's
ever played it there. My mom was like in heaven.

(50:27):
Third time she's seen Springsteen and McCarty comes out surprise guests. Wow,
your head would exploited, not just one legend. You're getting
three hours in the Boss and then brings out a
friend to join us on stage. No one knows it's
well Liverpool's most famous son. Oh my god, McCarty, you

(50:48):
had no idea and the tis that's give me goosebumps
a night to remember. Wow. You wanted to text him like, hey,
you're in my hometown, me too, and sing up to tonight,
Well I'm on stage, I bring the guitar. Yeah, Jackie
whole finding my BMX around Montrose, buying a hot buying

(51:11):
a bang of hot chips and hanging out with my
neighbor friends. Life was so easy with those sponsored abilities
Jasmine nineteen ninety five, when Carlton won the premiership. Christian,
it's been a lot time between those celebratory tricks. You're
right there, all right. The second question that my daughter
asked me, which is a great one, what was a

(51:32):
form of rebellion as a teenager? So for my also
for her, it was she I think in one eight
month period she dyed her hair eight times. WHOA kept saying,
listen that that cheap old hairdye again, is going to
coroage your brain cells, that beautiful young brain. It was
during the dark days of lockdown. You know whatever you need? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(51:56):
but go and get some more hair for me. When
I was a teenager, I remember horrified. My dad. My
mom wasn't too keen, but they still let me do it.
I got my ear pissed. Now this might not sound
like a one thing, but back in the eighties for
a young guy to get your ear pissed was like,
my god, is this is this is a gateway truck.

(52:18):
We're losing our son, Chris. He wants to get his
ear piece. Is he going to run up and join
the village people?

Speaker 3 (52:26):
This guy, it's very George Michael, very George Michael.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
We put him into a good Catholic primary Schola. He
treats us walking around with a gold Let me describe
how bad it go. Well, not gold, but a fake
golden hooped earring.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
I used to go out hoping to meet a girlfriend
looking like that. My parents did me a disservice. They
should have ripped it out my ear. My dad said,
do you want to look like a pirate? Because that
is what you look.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Like just one ear, just one ear?

Speaker 6 (52:55):
Oh wowt it bad?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Do you know what? I've got a photo. I'll give
you two. I look shocking when I showed it to
my kids, that went, that's been photoshop. No one would
choose to look like that.

Speaker 6 (53:18):
Did you have a mullet with it?

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:20):
Oh wow, you must we smoke show.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Anyone just meane smoke shot. It was the golden hoop.
I also had another what they call pants was just
like a little certainly wasn't timing, but I.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Stud stud yeah as well stud.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yes, fancy you know that gold hoop? I wanted. What
I wanted was to have a couple of range range
in my ear attire there.

Speaker 5 (53:45):
How did you get on at school with the nuns
with it?

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Like? Well, that was at a different age, so you
were like, I wasn't like eighteen being told by nuns
pats that was a prime to be old. If an
eighty y old boy, where was that some Swiss hills somewhere.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
But he is the least of your worried situation.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
If nuns are heavily in my life and I'm eighteen,
we've got major problems. And that is not a moment
I want to go back to my life real, what's
it for you? What was her act of rebellion?

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Mine was going through a very heavy eminem phase.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
You gotta lose yourself and also knowing that you were
the captain of your debate team. Nothing screens rebellion. You
got to debate yourself.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Debating yourself.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
He was all the nun say why this door locked?

Speaker 4 (54:38):
You know, he grew up on the in the in Michigan,
a private school in.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
He's experienced.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Separated at birth.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
But my mom checkmated me, and I still to this
day don't know if she did it on purpose or
it was like high level parenting, because she decided that
she would really get into eminem as.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Well, Oh my god, that is what a genius.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
And she knew all the lyrics to cleaning out my closet.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
She's like, oh, I'm sorry, ma. She was like, this
is such a good song. I don't understand his experience.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
And then she knew all these songs, bought the album,
and then it obviously this is not a right rebellion.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
She ended it all right, give us called thirteen fifty
five twenty two? What was your golden hoop? Earing not
to find a guy? Anyone else do that in the
eighties or just me alone?

Speaker 2 (55:31):

Good morning, morning Will. So as a teenager, what was
an act of rebellion for you?

Speaker 7 (56:10):
Just resulted in my father not let me in the house.
I got into the sex pistols and thought, wow, let's
do it properly. So I dyed my hair. On the
left was a red color, on the other side was green,
and down the middle was black. And I topped it
off with a long tink feather earring.

tell you what that is an awesome look, right, Okay,

colors and a long feather earring head of a look
