App Got anything good? Hey? This is the Christian O'Connell
show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hey, this is Christian. Kind of a strange one for
me right at the top of the show, but let's
go for it. Anyway. There's a listener who emailed me,
a podcast listener in the UK called Paul Johnson. Paul
Johnson emailed me a couple of years ago with an
incredible story about my uncle Tom, who saved his life,
and then Carma came back around and I correspondent Paul

(00:47):
saved someone related to Tom. This story whenever I share
it or tell anyone about it gives me goosebumps and
other people I just reduced to kind of all really,
which is why I want to include it in my book.
But I can't n s I hear from Paul. I've
emailed Paul Johnson. It's a bounce back. He's not on
that email anymore. All don't know as he listens in
the UK. Paul Johnson, if you're still listen to the show,

(01:09):
and I hope you're well, please email me. Christian at
Christian O'Connell dot com dot au. Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Enjoy today's pod Christian O'Connell Show on Podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Good Morning, Pats, Morning, Good On, Alex, good Morning, Good Morning, Rio,
Good morning Rio and I. The studio today is the
best studio I've ever been in in twenty eight years
of radio because right now RhE and I Saturday, this
is how it used to be when you used to
walk in on a Thursday and Friday and Saturday into

(01:40):
local video store and it will be crammed and Aladdin's
cave of potential stories from all over the world, all
different times. And last week I shared on Friday Show,
I wanted to transform the radio studio into I called
it the last video store on Earth. This is it,
there is in six days, you do it. There are
five hundred and eighty two DVDs here and these have

(02:03):
all been donated from listeners. Incredible and there's some bangers.
There's incredible movies here as well as I'm looking around
there well, Chuck Noller Sandy passed Word of the weekend.
There's del to Force and Deal to Force two in here,
which I'm really excited about. There's a box set of
all the Lord of the Rings movies. It's the director's cuts.
There's some brilliant, brilliant TV shows here as well. Bander Brothers,

(02:26):
which I can never recommend enough to people. The Spielberg
produced and Tom Hanks produced TV show. That's incredible, one
of the best shows the ever. Band of Brothers is amazing.
It's so good. Also, I've dug out we've even no
time wasted when we're talking about anything to do with movies.
Is there not a joke or a thousand to do

(02:47):
with Big Mumma's House or Driving Miss Daisy?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I feel like they're the patron saint of the show,
those two movies. Yes, and Dude, Where's My Car? As well,
which is here as well. There's just so many movies
that you forgot got made. Yes, I've had so much
triple X Vin Diesel I interviewed him for that.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Really, what's he like?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
A joy? Very very charming, very one of the most
giggliest human beings. Yes, that is not not what I
thought at all. And also just had an enormous neck fat.
What just like seriously, it was just a lot of
neck fat, you know, like a big cat rolls yes,

(03:31):
it was. I would say it was. It was a
cat man.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
That's because he's bald. Though everyone's probably got there.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It was just a wait, no, there was something it was. Honestly,
perhaps there was something unhuman about it.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
It sounds like a Vin Diesel movie cat Man.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
So yeah, So today we're going to be opening it up.
And here's what we're going to do on a Thursday
and Friday. The weight used to be is we're gonna
we're going to send you movies to watch over the weekend,
and we're going to send it to you in a
stem to dress envelope. The weight it used to be,
there's so many I think we should be going around, Pats,
are you coming in a minute? Pick out some and
Alex as well, count some that we can recommend. Do

(04:09):
you at least have the staff picks? I'm genuine I
love going to bookshop. I love bookshops right, and I
like it when they've got staff recommendations. Yes, I don't
know what they and they've got that little handwritten notes
yes on the little with the staff like Steve says,
I really like that. I don't know why this is
too much choice? Isn't there the words while we do double
thumbs up every single Friday. When I came in to

(04:32):
excuse me. When I came into the station this morning,
I thought we should do a thing called signs for
an adult, because as I approached the radio station, I
couldn't help but notice five point fifteen I got my
DNA adult DNA got activated. There's a empty skip out
the front of the station. Now I know, because they've
got it behind some sort of sheeting. They're trying to
hide the fat and camouflage the fat. There's a skip there,

(04:55):
but I tiptoed over so I could have a look
at it when I'm coming back tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow.
There's so much stuff at home. I'm going to actually
bring in a load of stuff team bringing in because
word will get out there's a hidden skip here. Wow, good, fine,
I reckon everyone. It's listing right now. Who knows if
there's a brand new local skip in your neighborhood, round

(05:16):
the street or that you all know would get your
talent to your partner, don't you the number fifty two
of them? There's an empty skip.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
We should go down there under the cover of die.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's always under the cover of darners. If you've got
one near you.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, we've got one around the corner, a new, brand
new red one. It's completely empty, which is very exciting.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
But what you don't want to be you want to
wait for other people have dumped some stuff in it,
first of all, because otherwise there's that telltale clang. What
I do as a season pro at this I wrap
it in something. Oh my goodness, you know, like sometimes
if you're a friend's house it needs to go for
a number two. It's called a fireman's blanket. You lay down,
You lay down some toilet roll first of all, as

(05:52):
if it's a little cushion for it, like a silence.
Otherwise someone's having a chat. That hit. It sounds of
something being dropped and plopped. Dare I say anyway, I've
said too much guys.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
So I've got the wrong sheet. I've got a sheet

of my dv DVD collection. He sent me a photo
hit of eight giant boxes. There's over six hundred DVDs
dropping off. Yes, we okay to open up a second
branch in your news room.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
I've got stacks of roomy here.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, okay, maybe we should have like Patsy should have
our own. You know we talk about staff picks. They
should all be surrounded by Patsy.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yes, I thought you were going to say the you know,
the ones behind the curtain.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
I won't have those in here, thank.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
You very much.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
We're not any of those.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Is a family show.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
This is a family friendly store and a family friendly show,
as well, all right, let's do tombstone text. I've enjoyed
doing this the last couple of Thursday. This is where
you get your phone out. Whatever the most recent text
message is at the top of your phone. Imagine that
is now your It's onny tombstone. That's there for eternity.
Now what is it going to say? What's Onnyr's Patsy?

Speaker 7 (07:45):
There was a Dracula beside the bed. Shocking nightmare the
other night. It was too hot in bid anyway. I
remember I woke myself up because I yelled out really
loud and obscenity, saying go away, use your imagination, and
we all imagining it right now right, can't repeat it?

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Anyway. My husband sat up really straight, and it was
like one thirty or something in the morning. I thought, oh,
I'll just go back to sleep.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
But I thought he must have wondered, what on earth
was was she talking to me?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Probably not the first time.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
He sworn at.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Chris, here's your imagination anyway, Radio of the Mind.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
After the show, I did have to text him just
to reassure him. I said, sorry about waking you up
through the night. I had a terrible nightmare and he wrote,
I was going to mention it later. You screamed out,
and I can't say what I screamed out. Must have
been pretty bad. And I said, yeah, I dreamt there
was a Dracula that had floated across I'm not kidding,
that had floated out of our wardrobe across the room

(08:52):
and was standing like right beside my bed.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
It was so real.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
If you've been watching kind of like Halloween movies, horror movies,
i'd understand. But what are you watching at the moment?

Speaker 6 (09:03):
I think I know what it might be, Patsy, you
watched the Dracula movie recently with Jacob Alordie, who is
the itat man currently going around?

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Maybe around Oscar time.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
But maybe you got Jacob and Lordie on the mine.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Maybe it's like a hidden meaning or something. But yeah,
it was terrifying and actually screamed out really loud in
my sleep.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Don't you find us get older you have trouble remembering
your dreams.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, sometimes it's so it's like.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't dream anymore.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah, i'd agree with that.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
Yeah, you won't go feeling off and you don't know why. Yeah,
you know it was a bad one. People, what interesting
dreams you've had recently? My wife I think she was
actually born, just to talk about dreams. Oh god, not
this again. If I don't know it early, I would
have put it in the marriage yes and no. I
would have gone no, no, no, no, yes to all
the other click above, but not the stuff about dreams.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
So she telling you about her?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh god. We will get the director's cut, we get
the Irishman version of it, we get tarantinoed, and we
get it. Walk around in that dream? What do you
think it means? If I'm a dream and Alice, I'm
like Mondo Rock for Living. I don't know what the
heating meaning.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Is, but they hold such great.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I told you about your Dracula one. We got to
clear an hour. Let's put the catalong Chris and sit
down in deep talk about this.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
It was terrifying, though, and the presence was really strong.
It felt so real. I wasn't in our bedroom. I
was in this different sort of like.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
A Dracula's lair.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Bizarre.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
It was bizarre, and it was just hovering over my
body and away, away you go, where you go, where
you go?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, I don't think you used language like that. It's
more of a Tarete's response and Rya, what's the most
recent text on your phone?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
My recent text is thoughts on Ikea Saturday, which is
actually just as chilly.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
No, my thoughts reverse, reverse, reverse, and you're.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
The worst part about it. My partner wants to.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
Go to Ikea just to get curtain hooks, which is
a tiny of them online.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
They bring them online Amazon. You're getting more Amazon.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
We go to ike here once you've built up a
certain amount of stocking you need to get.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
You don't just go for one off.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
And it's got to be furniture, the big stuff.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yes, it's not worth just going all the way through
the maze just for that.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And also Saturday and Sunday peak time.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Worst time to go. I'd actually rather.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
You're swimming against the salmon as well trying to get
out of there as well. It's salmon season every weekend.
I care you go. You go during the week on
like a Tuesday, you got to go at eleven seventeen am.
You've got to plan that stuff out.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
You take a sick day.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Or a crazy birch and rocks up at the weekend
on a Saturday morning because you think, oh we go
early doors at Saturday morning. Everyone else has that thought exactly.
So I've been there on a Saturday morning early doors
when it opens up, they're queuing to get into the
car park. You know we've already, but you're stuck in
the like the Q jam. You can't get back out.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yes, yes, you think you're one stiver ahead, but for
curtain hooks. The curtain hooks. Get out of here.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
But also you've got when you go for on those
small things that I care, you leave with so much
more because as you're going through that mage, My god,
look at this spice, right.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
We do need some undertek cabinet tree.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
It's that eighteen months the price of half of one.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
I always come out with clothes hangers.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I like the wooden one. I take someone holiday with me.
I do is that sad? No? No, I take at
least three to five.

Speaker 9 (12:37):
Rio.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Even in Sydney last week the suitcase got three clothes
hangers in with my shirts already on them, folding in half,
shoving a suit I see the chuckle sisters, the producers
in the glass like going on this guy clown man
on the radio again, down and around. That's one of
the most English I'd imagine King Charles does it. It's

(12:59):
good enough for him.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
You guys all got your mam and dad's take on
the American Iran situation. I got a good forty five
minutes take a breakdown of them all from my mum
in the UK yesterday. He's been monitoring the situation.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Oh thank god.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
They need to have elderly correspondents on their couches weighing in.
I would watch that if there's part of the news
to it, and now what the elderly think of this?

Speaker 9 (13:28):
I would.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I would actually pay for that. If that's a subscription model,
I'm paying for that.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
I think that's just what Sky News is.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's Pats's favorite, don't She dreams, dreams of having the
Pats Hour quite happy where I am, no, no, no, but
we're not. Every day I ring them and go there
must be a vacancy today. Can't do pet whatever she's called,
she can't do it every day. She's looking a little

(13:58):
bit tired, paired at Pats. Isn't easy. It's an easy.
They won't even know we wheel are in, she gets
wheeled out. Okay, and her heart I'm telling you now
the hottest there are.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Oh yeah, sounds interested in my views?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh we are.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
We are telling I'm a chating to her mom essay.
And sadly, my mama's just decided to give up on
the video part of our call. She can't and so
it's just it was actually really sad to go back
to an olden times of just a phone call. And
so I said, what's wrong with like originally we were
doing for years, since I moved to eight years ago,
we'd been doing Skype and she could understand and use

(14:36):
Skype very easily. I don't know why. Skype was just
easier for it, but she just and then Skype got
swallowed up or brought by somebody, I think Microsoft. And
then it was teams. My mom was having nothing to
do with teams. It was just a nightmare and also
not been funny. You don't want to be on a
team with a seventy seventy year old. It's not a team.
Why are you doing a lot of the hard work

(14:57):
and the other one is just pulling out, pulling away,
And so teams we had nothing. And then I went, hey, listen,
you've got WhatsApp. That's that Mum messes me every single
day on WhatsApp. They also have a video thing to
the button you use all the time to call me
is a video one. We've been doing that badly now
for six weeks where I see my mum and I
can't hear her right, and I'm messing her, messing her

(15:19):
going you need to turn the volume up. I then
have to stop the video call call her on a
voice only, and she goes, you need to turn my
volume up. It's a problem you're you know. I Why
would someone else be able to control somebody else's volume?
She had, no, No, this phone doesn't have a volume on.
I went, there's no way someone sold you a phone

(15:40):
without volume on it. This is every I get so
anxious speaking to one because it's just ratty me for
the first five minutes. So we agreed yesterday no video
for now. And I said at the end of it, Mom,
because she was trying to tell me she'd fall over,
she's turned her wrists. She's trying to describe this. It
sounds like she's wearing something moment to heal it. And
it sounds like you know on the Olympics when you
see the archers.

Speaker 10 (16:01):
Oh yess like some She said it goes up her
whole h and into her shoulder.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Of that, soid I need to say is we've got
to try another video. I start to tell her about
zoom and I don't think she's got it in it.
She went, how will that work? Went? You know, we
start going, oh my god, I got an email a
link past code. There's a room code email you link.
How will I know it's you? I said, well, we'll

(16:26):
come from my email address. It could be a hacker
or spam went, why would they want to meet spamers?
Don't have fake meetings with you if this was the
way they were just honestly when they tap out after
a couple of seconds where they're trying to tell you
that they can't control your volume. So she's not going
to do she's not going to be doing that clicking

(16:47):
a link. There must be people listening to this. Must
have other ways you can do video or there's so
many different platforms these days. What's that? I don't want
to say, idiot proof.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
What's a simple elderly proof?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Elderly proof? You know it's also I think they should
have phones and laptops for the elderly.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
Well, they do have phones for the elderly. I saw
one online the other day another big buttons. Yeah, it's
got big buttons and it's very very simple. But I
don't think come.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
They just need the landline back.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Yeah, yeah, no, seriously.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
They don't like the landless line. Old timers love a
line that goes through the earth. They trusted that tug
on it and the other person might you know, get
a yank as well. They don't like airless phones. It
doesn't make any sense. But there must be an easier
platform that I could speak to hermum and do a
video thing on because she's not gonna be clicking on

(17:39):
zoom links.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
If there isn't, they should invent one.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yes, yes, yes, Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Thank you very much for all the messages people trying
to help my mom out and find an easy way
for us to do video calling. When we chat a
couple of times a week. She's struggling with WhatsApp. She
really is refusing to go on to Microsoft teams, which
I understand. No one likes the phrase let's jump on
a team school, you know. And I explained Zoom to

(18:07):
her the moment where I said I'll send you an email.
She was like, I'm out. I'd rather you wrote a letter.
What's the old the old days of air mail. Just
write a letter about what's going on in your life over there. Son,
we'll just say goodbye. So a lot of you going.
I'd use messenger FaceTime, but it's the same sort of
She's one of these two types of people in the world.

(18:29):
The iPhone is she's an androider. That's a lot of
the problems. iPhone is so much easier. FaceTime would be
really easy. It's one button. The engineer just boxed. As
the students said, he's happy to at our expense. So
my expense fly to London to have my mum out. Okay,
that's very kind of going to be.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Maybe in the UK.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Like my sister. Yes, but there's some slight tension when
I call my sister and ask her to do stuff
for mum, when she's like, hey, you know what, you're
the one who just absconded and went I didn't ab scott.
I am aut grated. Yes, And so Patsy mentioned that
as a phone specifically for penn Rio. You found it.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
I found it. It's called the jitterbug and.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
We're not making this up. They've named it after an
old dance. It's called the Give.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's only two hundred and fifty dollars and it looks
like a kid's phone. Is it actually just a kid's
It's only got four buttons that ring, hang up, calls,
web browser.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Complain about a foreigner? Foreigner Alert, foreigner alert this food
is spicy? Is there about where I can just request
the butcher? Checken and this phone will start to alert

(19:51):
you if there's a foreigner within five k that is
moving in? Sorry? What are the four buttons?

Speaker 6 (19:58):
Sky news, web browser calls, settings and messages.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
That's it. That's all you can do on the phone.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I love it. Oh my god, look up at the
sky right now? Look keep looking?

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Where is all the cheap fuel gone? And where's the
two dollars?

Speaker 11 (20:22):
Three?

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Heam?

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Where's the servo that won't make you cry when you
check the pricing screen?

Speaker 11 (20:29):
Heat?

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Isn't there a hero somewhere who'll fill my tank for free?

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Every day?

Speaker 6 (20:38):
I'm driving fear of what this pump costs me.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
I need a pump man. I'm holding up for a pumpman.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
Nil the end of the night, he's pumping away and
he's feeling a car and he's pumping.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Us all for free. I need a pump Man. I'm
holding up for a pump Man.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
He's coming your way with his nozzle of lava and
his tape in the wind.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
He's gonna make your morning.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Okay, pump Man is here.

Speaker 9 (21:10):
He's in.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
His outbit costume. Not an outside.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
It's a costume. You're right, pump Man. And what's going
is Pumpman also has trouble with his eyes. You know,
he's got all these amazing superhero skills. I noticed in
the video you made yesterday. You've kept your glasses on
Man Specky. I too.

Speaker 10 (21:35):
He can get super hawk vision on the bowser, he
can get the laser surgery done wherever he's from it.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Who can't wears glasses?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
You're quite right, You're quite right, ye, soap gum Pumpman. Yes,
my opic pump Man.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Superman does take off what he does.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I was trying to work out yesterday. Yes, something. There
are two things wrong about it, one of the glasses. One,
what's he trying to pretend to be a superhero? Two
you had no shoes, He just had these Disney sauce.
The multiverse wasn't set up right. But anyway. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys,
He's here giving people free fuel. He's the hero we

(22:16):
need right now. Good morning pump Man.

Speaker 4 (22:19):

My dream has come true. Guys. Last Friday, I was
on the show saying I really would love it if
we could transform this radio studio into a video store
like it used to be. And I'm now sat in
a studio where there are five hundred and eighty four
DVDs that amen donated by our lovely listeners. Mandy sent

(27:40):
us eighty, Kathy sent me forty four, Tracy in hunters
Hill sent eighty, Alicia here in Victoria sent twenty four,
Adam sent three hundred and eighteen. There's a man called
Tony who's heading into a radio station moment with over
six hundred DVDs. Joanne sent me forty, and so we
got around five hundred and eighty DVDs Patsy's I've asked

(28:02):
all the team to come in and select some recommendations.
The idea is that's what we're gonna do every Thursday
and Friday. We're going to open it up at the
old and you know when the shops used to the
video store. We've got a customer just coming in. I
got an a range of bells. That's the one I dread.
You know, you go out to some country town and
as soon as you go anything, I don't like anything here.

(28:23):
But there's that bell that clangs behind you, and you've
got to You've got to give it at least three
minutes or it's rude. And it's deathly silent in there,
and you know it's an elderly persons put the whole
life savings, the whole superinhuation into lavender bars of soap.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
And you gotta leave. You got to buy something, can
help yourself.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Just browsing, just browsing. I do this one when I'm
trying to leave. What are you close? Yes, artists, a
big basket for the star around up the gang, let
them know about these lavender bars are bars of soap
that you're selling? Soff All right, it's time to open
up the last video store on Earth.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
In a world where everything is instant, where choice is endless,
but joy is forgettable, one man dares to rewind tithes
From a shipbox studio. Somewhere on the radio dial comes
the last video store on Earth. He's not streaming, he's

(29:23):
not buffering, he's posting. Christian O'Connell is the analog rebelue.
Step inside the store, choose your movie, feel the weight
of it in your hands, and wait like you used to,
because the best things don't arrive instantly. The last video

(29:44):
store on Earth.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
All right, we're gonna send you your DVDs. You wait
for them. Imagine a joy. Imagine all these days you
get posts. It's bills, it's remind us it's nothing good.
Maybe on your birthday at card, but even so, these
days it's e cards. Yeah, suddenly you'll open up and
a DVD will PLoP out you. But oh my god,
I remember last week, three days ago. It's National Tragic.

does not like the lack.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Of rom com Yeah, disappointed. Lack of it is about.

Ninety nine percent action movies. It's like you're setting into
some sort of boys bedroom, isn't it, even though it's
that there's no rom coms here? No, there's two's. I
wouldn't call it. There's Moon on Rouge I've seen, and Titanic.

Speaker 6 (31:03):
Yes, yeah, yes, And it's even very niche action movies
like Stealth, a movie I've.

raving about it. I went online thirteen or one three
percent on Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't even know when down

For the first time ever, we have Hello Jake, Hey,
young Christian. I'm good Jake. You are the first customer
to the last video store on Earth. How can we

Speaker 11 (32:35):
I'm looking for something similar to Demotion.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Man, Deminition Man, Great Action Movie, Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Simon Phoenix,
Murder Death Kel If you know, you know, Jakie boy knows,
great action movie, isn't it?

Yes?

Speaker 9 (32:51):
I love it all right?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
So if you like action movies, I've got something for you.
It's action is drama. It is The Hunt for the
Red October. Sean Connery, a Scottish man making no effort
to be a Russian submarine commander. It doesn't matter. And
then you've also got Alec bordenwill this is a Hence thriller.
It's a classic movie.

Speaker 12 (33:12):
I reckon that sounds good to make, Christian.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I'm also going to chuck in another one as well.
This is a two disc widescreen edition. Tom Cruise as
the Last Samurai. Oh, quite a flexer in America, but
it was a different time. Show how they got that
one under the wire.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Anywhere?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Make of it what you will, Jake. So you've got
the Hunt for the Red October guy pretending to be
Russian and then well guy pretended to be a samurai.
But no, he's not pretending to be a samurai. He's
trained by samurais in the art.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Right, just the white guys showing the Japanese house done.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
No, No, they show him as actually genuinely respectfully dumb.
It's a great movie, Jake. These are yours. I'm sending
them today. Enjoy.

and spend an hour trying to find a movie, only
to find that it had already been ringing there.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Jim, how long we but trump is now that someone's
just texted in Richard Christian A. Technology has changed, but
it still takes me just as long to pick our
movie out now on streaming. Yeah, there's both an hour,
isn't it. You're right? Oh not that one, not that one.
Someone doesn't want an action movie. It's two and a
half hours. Just too long.

and a half hours anymore.

No, he loves Jurassic Parks. I'd love for him to
be able to receive that in the mail I reckon
he'd be pretty excited about that one. I'd have to
explain to him that he has to return it, though,
which could.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Be he must. I don' want to stop finding a
nine year old kid, but he will get fine. Now
does he like history?

for me. Just like flat pack producing, you get paid
the money you put them together. He's a random selection
of words, and there's two pages of words here, pages
loosely associated with martial arts. What am I meant to
do with this? I'll do with this then, okay? Producer
punch hit, blow, hook, chop strike, balm strike, elbow, backfist,
