FULL: Meatball Meltdown

The team recaps their Mother’s Day, with Patsy admitting she saw the Billie Eilish movie twice. Listeners jump in with the films they’ve watched back‑to‑back, before 3 Word Weekend brings birthday venue fails, sweaty joggers and Christian’s full blown “meatball meltdown.”

Monday Menders returns with DIY disasters, makeshift fishing gear and the mysterious “rat hammock,” and the phones light up with callers sharing the oddest jobs they’ve ever had - from medieval educators to horse clairvoyants and supermarket spies.

Plus, brand new Misheard Lyrics and a messy round of At Work Time Wasters.

A Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Pass Good morning, Hey.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Okay, Alex, good morning, good I get eight and good
morning Rio.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Hello. First of all, Patsy, how was your mother's day yesterday?

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Thank you for asking. Yes, I had a beautiful day.
You know what. One of the highlights yesterday for me
was though it's just those unexpected messages. I've got a
beautiful message from Rio, Thank you very much. That meant
so much, that beautiful text.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And also out in between zooming his own mum, did you.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Get that chair?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
The chair hasn't described, no, because you ordered it Thursday.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
I did order a Thursday. It hasn't arrived yet. But
what a great surprise she has coming for early this week,
Like the party never ends someone Mother's Day week.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Actually know, because I guess if it comes the next
couple of weeks when it were it'd be closer to
some of them.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
Now that's true, actually edging closest.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Season one autumnal fishing chair exactly.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
No, I had a lovely weekend. Thanks and also a
beautiful message from Sarah j l our show manager as well,
which meant a lot. Actually, so I'm shouldn't we.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Get more about you and your daughter rather than sort
of team appmen in personnel?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
So what do you do with Audi?

Speaker 5 (02:48):
It was beautiful, you know, we went back. So Saturday
we went and saw Hit Me Hard and Soft Billy
Eilish's James Cameron three D film.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
What's it like?

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Oh, my goodness, it is, Well, it's James Cameron. Of
course it's going to be great.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
It was.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
It was like because I had taken her to the concert.
She loves Billie Eilish, like that is her girl, and
it was like sitting in in the stadium and just
watching the concert.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Alls.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
So, if you've got the three D glasses.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah, you've got the glasses, which is a bit difficult
when you wear specs.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
What they did you put them over or well?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Someone sort of messaged me on my Instagram and said,
you can actually request. There are special glasses for people
who wear specs. I didn't know that, so I just
put them on top and it was fine. But it was, Oh,
you're just immersed into the screen and this concept.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
It was And there's three D better now than it was.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
You remember like three D TVs which I got duped
into get in one years ago. I'm guessing now, especially
it's James Cameron the challenge. She must be so much better.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Oh, it was brilliant, and he's just he's such a
great storyteller and he's just got this way of weeding
out everything from the subject, not only you know, visually,
but he does there's bits of it. So it is
her concert. It is the concert that she did, and
this one was filmed in Manchester, but it's also little
snippets along the way of Billy Billy herself and she

(04:04):
I'll tell you what she is, redefining feminine aity of
that girl. She talks in one part about you know
how she loves to wear baggy clothes. That's her look,
and she said, you know, I'm so excited for this
new generation of women who don't feel like they have
to dress scantily to be sexy or to be feminine.
They can just they can still be that and just

(04:25):
be who they are. If they wear baggy clothes, that
is completely okay. And then it's also got box pops
from some of the fans who say just the most
profound things and really hones in on what the power
of music is for everyone in that it's healing and
a lot of these kids have said, you know, some
were suicidal but they found Billy's music and it just

(04:47):
saved them. And another girl said, I've reconnected with my
family who I didn't live with. I was homeless because
because of Billy's music. This is the power of what
music is. It is just phenomenal. I've actually got goosebumps
talking about it.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I can't wait to go say out with my youngest daughter,
Lowis is a mega fan and when Billy I think
when Billy first came Australia it was like twenty nineteen
and an old boss of mine who is now running
the Nova Ready network, I'm actually getting to the Nova
Red room and it was only about two hundred people
to see Billy Eyish in a small venue in Sint
Kilda in Melbourne were two hundred people and I wasn't.

(05:23):
I didn't really know much about it other than my
daughter was a really big fan. This is twenty nineteen
before she's like the big, big global maker star she's
now and James Cameron's making documentaries about her, and I
thought she's incredible.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I was going away by it. But she's right.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's the same thing I saw when I saw when
I went my daughters to Taylor Swift. It's tribal, you know,
it's like springsteenius for certain people and like different musicians are,
but for young women, young girls, what a raw model.
Billy Eilish is the whole thing with her brother and
her mum and dad, it's the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Is a great she's got a great story as well.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, no, it's They're a phenomenal family. And Phineas is
in the movie. He wasn't. He didn't come out on
the stage. It wasn't in Melbourne when we saw A
but Manchester he made an appearance. And if you know
anything about them, he's you know, they're a bit like
Elton John and is it Benny Taukt' sorry Bunny Torpin,
thank you Taupin. They're like the modern day of that.
They are such a phenomenal team, these two, and you

(06:14):
could see the love that they've got for each other.
It's rue. Go and see it. It is so powerful impact,
it's brilliant, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
So it sounds like you had a kind of like
bigger Mother's Day weekend than you would have thought with that.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
I had a lovely weekend. And you know what, I
just loved sitting with her there yesterday in the cinema.
I thought, at one point, isn't this lovely? And we
were holding hands. I thought, this is the best Mother's
day that I get to enjoy something that she's into.
It's something we can share together. I had the best day.
It was lovely.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
And are you going to go back and see it.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
There's a chance I might. There is a chance I
might for a third time. It was so good.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, you saw it twice over the week, Yes.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Saw it's Saturday and men Agan yesterday.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh my good, I thought you misspoke then when you
said yesterday and it was Saturday.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You've seen it twice.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
It went twice.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh that is that's incredible mumming skills part.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
And it was even better yesterday. Christian. Also, I just
I've walked out of there absolutely buzzing with her. It
was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I wonder how many people are listening today to the
show I've gone to see a movie they like so
much the next day or within seven days.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Good Morning to Darren.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Christian, I saw Deadpool one and Debil Too three times
in the first three days of release. Reach on Darren
Boom straight away, Christian. We went to see Projet hell
Mary over the weekend. We loved it, like you, Yes,
a fantastic movie. Cannot recommend that at the moment. There
are so many good things to go and see. At
the moment, it feels like cinema has got so much

(07:38):
great thing today. The great thing about the movies are
at the moment is a lot of them are original.
They're not the big franchise movies like Keven the Michael
one and Project hell Mary is a completely original story.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's what's so good about it.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
And now, of course Billy Arnish in three d Alex
Howe's Bonnie's Well, it was a big weekend for you
massive We because Saturday we need to get into is
a calamity from our friend here.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
He had a shock them.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
But before we unpacked that one, my friend tell us
about Mother's Day was that successful day was successful.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
At least, yes, yeah, thank you much, just true that
one up.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
Yeah, lots of kids per kids presence, which and they
made the cards, you know, the lovely cards. They brought
them in the naxt morning.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
It was lovely. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
But look my three word weekend is birthday venue fail.
This will go down in our family history is the
dad the day Dad really stuffed up. And that's because
Bonnie wanted to have a fortieth birthday lunch at the
Terrace in the Botanic Gardens. Lovely great spot, great spot,
really lovely spot. Now, the Botannic Gardens in Sydney has

(08:40):
a restaurant. Botannic Gardens in Melbourne does not. And there's
this place called the Terrace and so we go there
and I booked this a long time ago. We really
wanted to have it there, and I assume that you
could have the lunch in this sort of function area
or just outside the function area. We get there and
they're like, i'm your table's just over here, sir. And

(09:01):
we're like, oh, so we're having lunch in the cafe area.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Do you mean a bit out the front where there's
sort sweaty joggers.

Speaker 8 (09:07):
Are yes, Christian, they're a part out the front where
the sweaty jogger is now.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
The pair out of the front is where people have
just sort of gone for a nice walk around the
botanical gardens. A lot of them are jogged around there,
and a lot of them have noisy dogs that come
with them and sit out the front in the al
Fresco area.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
There's tours going past. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, you're you're You're on a busy road as well there.
Imagine it was super busy as well. In a bit
of lead and diesel pirld.

Speaker 9 (09:32):
Dressed up and we're having bodies forty at lunch at
a cafe. Boddy looks at me and goes are we having?
My words were words words exchange. I was like, look, look,
you're lucky to be here today.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I am lucky to be alive.

Speaker 8 (09:47):
Christian, I'm like, and the it's gonna be nice and
and there were stools not actually.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
Cheese, and I'm going, oh my god, is this really happening.

Speaker 8 (09:57):
And I looked across because there was a wedding at
this venue where we thought we were going to be
having the.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
Line they have your room, my room that it was
outside like we we So what are.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You You obviously not booked the right area? No, and
like I don't try and don't try and pen on
the on the team there. I kind of did, but
she would have known.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
No, no, no, there's any one too.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Fis in this story. The venue is the venue. You
actually click the wrong box.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
But look it was a body was livid and you
know that.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well you just look you got one job, mate, I
one job, and I went to the venue even a
few days before, just to check if anything was okay.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Why did you check?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Just wanted to get a second team beforehand when we
were talking about your story went he obviously didn't go
to the venue, but wait he did.

Speaker 9 (10:43):
I did, because I just assume you never assume I
thought I was going to be at that outside area,
that really nice area.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So what exactly did you check with them? And you
will give us the crappy area. I want to come
here in two days time and not be there.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
No.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
I had to add another person because another person coming
down from Sydney. And that's the other thing. These guys
came down from Sydney, was very close they made.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
The trip into state drama, into.

Speaker 8 (11:05):
State drama, and I'm like, oh my god. So we
sit down and you know, there was no sort of
tablecloss to the table.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
We'll wipe them down a minute. Well that's exactly what
they did, and they won't pick it down. I'm like,
oh my god, this guy got any worse. And then
we sat there.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
But look, it was fine because the kids had right
to run around.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Anyone else in that collection. Squeaky off. Fine, it's fine.
And luckily the food was good. It was lovely.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
It wasn't much of a choice for.

Sharing peats, olive and china balls. That was yeah. So anyway,
not good and as my as my.

Sister in law, skin hasn't formed on this wounds the
way you went good.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
My sister in law said, my dad's had some shockers
in his time, but this one's a doozy.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I think it's the thing of a fortieth as well.
It's a significant birth, pretty significant.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
But we made up for it later we went to

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Christian O'Connell show, Go on podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Tell us about your weekend of three words, what happened
to you this weekend?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
How was it?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Oh? Four seven five three one oh four three? Mine
is about yesterday Mother's Day and my meatball meltdown. Yesterday
for Mother's Day, I said to my wife, you know,
rather than we go out for lunch, I'm gonna do
all the cooking. There'll be no cleaning up. I'll do
all of that, it'll be spotless. Just want you to
chill out. And so I said, you know, in fact,
while I'm doing the cooking, because otherwise you'll feel bad.

(13:51):
You want to get involved trying to help me. I said,
just go out for the morning with the girls. And
so I went for a lovely walk on the beach
and they went for coffee afterwards. Meanwhile back home, really
close to cry. So the mistake just way above. Been
watching too much standy, too cheesy. Yes, you know, you
absorb a TV show and you started to think you

(14:12):
are a chef just by osmosis.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
No training, no training, no craft.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Skills, no field work, just watching go like, I'm going
to find that recipe and make homemade Italian meatballs. And
so I made two dishes that did this, three cheese
mac and cheese that would have been enough just to
do that and try and get all that together. But
then at the same time I was doing homemade Italian meatballs.
This chef has never made meatballs before. It what a

(14:40):
fiddly timely time time that I didn't factoring because if
you're doing multiple dishes.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
And it takes it's all about the timing.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
Yeah, getting it already at the same time is really tricky.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yes, So my wife said to me, she said to
me on Saturday night, Hey, just to just make sure
you write everything down. You've got your timings. That's you
have to have a plan. Have you got the plan?
I went, I don't need to worry about a plan,
and you must have a plan. Chris, Well, there was
no pan and I paid a very heavy price. When
they came back, the man they met was a it
was not fun guy, sweaty, staring at the distance, broken

(15:18):
mumbling about meatballs.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
What was the worst part?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Rolling?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
So it's like five hundred grams all this blended beef
and pork, mince, okay, with Italian herbs, parmesan, chopped up
bread crumbs, you know, an egg.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So it's all this, So put it in the blender.
The mits it all together.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
So you've got this goo five hundred grams off a
kilo of beef mintce and then like, oh god, what
you use because you use your hands.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, you're rubbing and rubbing it. But I don't know how.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
No two meballes the same shape or size. I don't
even know how I'm doing the same rolling it between
the hat.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I don't have Nanna's hands.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I've got radio fader hands, but they're not for the
rolling of meatballs.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I couldn't, for the love of me get a standard.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
Did you find?

Speaker 6 (16:09):
I found the hardest part when you do meat poles
is it sticks to both of your hands, and so
you're doing it and then it's sticking and you're not
getting a circle.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
You're just sort of smushing it between your palms.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
And then also the what's the phrase engineers have is
it's structural integrity.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
When I'm then frying.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Them to just brown them before then put them aside
then making the sauce, they just start to fall apart.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's cracking.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
Why cracking cracks?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
There's nothing in this naggy the fall about the cracking.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Why are they cracking? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (16:39):
I don't know too dry?

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Was he mixed too dry.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I literally perhaps I followed it to the letter, and
I trust Nuggy above anybody else in my life.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Nuggy's been there before us, She's tested or all.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
This were the comments.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Sometimes if I stuck up a recipe, I go to
the comments. If anyone's had the same, maybe it was
Naggy's fault. People complain, but I'm not sure what you've done, you.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Know Whatso John, if you guys can relate to this,
you know when you've actually And it took about two
and a half hours to get everything ready and the
table would lady old table.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It looked really nice, and my wife loved it. To
the kids. I did not like anything.

Speaker 10 (17:10):
I ate.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know, we're just too close to him.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, well your taste is the problems you're your own?

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Is that okay?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
I mean dad's broken.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm out of the meatball game halfway through. I think
I must have made about forty odd flipping meatballs.

Speaker 11 (17:25):
Right, there's only four of us meats.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I actually became an honor at the end because
both my daughters then left to go back to university
and I was batching up where they're going.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Fill up there.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Take something, friends, Take something your friends tonight for you
friends friends.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
There's fifty meatballs here that reach of us. Who are
we giving these meatballs to?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Too many meatballs? Halfway through I was like, you can't.
He's buy meetballs pre made. Aren't you get the perfectly
the same shape? You never sit down me at the
rest of it and see randomly shaped meatballs. Some of
them were somehow triangular as well.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Christian, I'm guessing you didn't bring any leftover meatballs for
yourself a lot. I'd sick of them. Christian, you know
that no Christian chef tip. You wet your hands to
roll the meatballs. You don't get any steak then, and
you use or wet ice cream scoop for the scooping size.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Oh my god? What? Yes? Where were you Friday?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
To be fair, I never said, oh, it's gonna be
making melballs, but you should have been. I'm calling the
meltballs now. But which is half meltdown and half meatballs.
That's my recipe version of Nuggies one. This is called meltballs.
You will melt down making these balls.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Christian.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Three World Weekend Expensive and emotional purchase new car daughter
went back to her Navy mase in a different stage
during the week. So Mother's Day without her hard when
you're a single mum. Nicole in Bolkham Hills, Nicole, I'm
sorry to hear that. Buckham Hills is that where we
film the TV advert? Indeed, what is it about the

(18:57):
hills of Sydney Flatten the place?

Speaker 7 (19:00):
It's very hilly.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Why is it so hilly? I'd ride a bike.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's you're always slightly going up a hill or.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Down a hill.

Speaker 7 (19:07):
Yes, yeah, you're never just us and even I.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Remember the reason why we filmed it in Bulkam Hills
show TV affort was because it was apparently a flat place,
and then we get the street it's all flipping downhill
and we were filming on the street.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
It was it was down a.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Hill and.

Speaker 1 (19:26):

Hill.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
They were like, now we're gonna have to skir and
the whole city trying to find a flat street. And
then suddenly we're for the last twenty minutes of the
car trip going to Balcom Hills.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
You're climbing up a mountain in Switzerland.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Right now we're coming up the Von two Toard of France. Christian,
I'm a chef for years. Yeah, Chris, I've got ice
cream school with my hands, mate. Yeah, it's great, Get
that now, Christian.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Three?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
One weekend getting holiday ready. That's some stace, some nice
autumnal or winter sun.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
All right, coming up next? Then are you in this club?
Are you a Monday.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
Bond sit mended bond?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (20:15):
I did.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
When you're an adult, the weekend isn't really about R
and R.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's very little about that.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
You're lucky if you get twenty minutes on that couch.
When you were young, used to think, oh my god,
that's amazing. You know your work all week and Sunday
and Sunday is out and do nothing. Feet up, get
out in the evening. You know, have a hangover, Rest
it off, rinse, repeat. Once you get a deep print
to adulthood, you realize it's about ticking things off from you.
To do this, the stuff that you say you'd run

(20:44):
out of time with during the week, there's no excuse.
It's empty road and you've got to sort of tick
those things off, which it normally means mending things. So
are you in the Monday Menda club? What did you
mend over the weekend, Patsy.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
We had such a dilimma I can't even begin to explain.
So we have a big global carving knife that has
to go in the second drawer, in with.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
The pause of that phrase global carving Knight, So that
means it would go to use in India.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
That's the brand of Nepal.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
It's this big stainless steel with a big stainless steel
global heavy judy. That's just a brand, right.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
You can carve up a goat in India.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Anyway. It's meant to go on the second drawer. And
with the big utensils like the soup ladle and the.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Pins, the big feathers all go in that second draw
I'm guessing cutlery. We all have the standard thing cuvery
is everybody is that universal.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
Top draw draw Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Well second one, you're right, the big oversized stuff, the
fish slice.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
It's like the overhead hang, you know, locker in the
play in the second drawer, that's all the big stuff goes.
But the little back seat pocket is where all the
cutlery goes. But someone in the family put the big
knife in the top draw which meant when I went
to open it, it would not go any more than
an inch.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh my god, if only pats. The only thing that
would make this stories come alive now into four K
storytelling is if we have some strange audio of that.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh oh, we do. What's that is? We've got some
It doesn't mean any say it play now.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
My husband's runting because he just couldn't open it.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I thought you hit recording the wrong thing. And this
is Chris alone on Friday afternoon, and that was enclosing
a laptop at the end.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
The handle was getting stuck right up the CHRISTI it
was so frustrated.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
That lady can get no anyway.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Sorry, so and it wasn't open enough even to get
my fingers into sort of flip flip the handle of
the knife. It was driving us inside. We were there
for Nellie.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
We just play the shows footage you get a dry
hump open.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Was insane anyway, So we had to shake it because
that then brought the handle down to try and flick
it up to get it out of it.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
It is that we all have with that second drawer.
Is that one day, and it always happens to all
of us. You get to open it and there's something
that's sprung.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Up upperware lids, everything.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Sauce put in handles as well in that drawer as.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
Well, and Chris throws his arm up in the air
and goes, well, that's it. We've got no cutlery now
for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's not the attitude?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Is it driving us insane? At one point we even
thought because we've got wooden side, we thought we would
have to move. We even was trying to see if
there was screws. How the front plate of the drawer
was put on there because we thought we might have
to actually take that off because this thing opening like

(24:00):
it was that desk.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
No, it's get the global.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
So anyway, we've got a tooth like a skewer and
chopstick and eventually managed after about three hours.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Start so you almost had to lock pick it.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Yes, it was just insane and I might have thrown
the knife out at the end.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
I was it bent or well yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Said that's it. It cannot go in the first draw
anymore if it's in the bin, So that's it. So
we don't have a carving knife. But I was that frustrated.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Hell a wee welcome to my life.

Speaker 4 (24:38):

to mend. How did you mender of the weekend?

Speaker 6 (26:01):
You guys had your inaugural Monday Mendus Club, and I
wasn't a part of it. So this weekend I resolved
to finally put together our bathroom cabinet, this cheap little
thing we've had sitting in our other room for a
long time. And I'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Nothing straightforward?

Speaker 10 (26:17):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
The flat packs even bedside tables, and.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
The cheaper you go, the more difficult.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
You're right, what is that?

Speaker 7 (26:26):
They just spend no time on the instructions.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
It was these tiny little like half an a four
sized piece of instructions.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
So I've already got bad eyes.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
What is it about? There been photocopied a one thousand times.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
It's so thin.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Give me the original.

Speaker 7 (26:38):
It's like on that spot, just tiring trout that.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Mental piece together and it.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Was so flimsy.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
They say it's wood, but this was not wood, And
you know it's that really like, so it's like soft.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
And when you put those little plastic screws in it.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, almost all about to snap off, yes.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
And everything around it just crumbles. So it is technically
put together, but you have to be very, very delicate. Yes, yeah,
it doesn't like a light breeze would knock it over.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's so easy loading up those spare lou rolls. You
could almost have two hundred grams in there and it'll
bring this down. Will Alex, what did you mend over
the weekend? You relationship with your wife? Yeah, Alex managed
to scrub his wife's fortieth restaurant booking. They were sat
outside on stalls. People have flown into.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
State, old mate.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
He went to check out the venue, just a double,
just to double down and make sure we'll be sat
just on the street with randos. You've got the good stalls,
right yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, screepy, noisy ones.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I booked a cafe for my wife's fortieth.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
I'll never ever live that.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Even the phrase cafe. No, it's a casual Blazer cafe,
not for a fortieth.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
It's great for the kids, you know, they could run around,
it'd be great. I am working on mending that relationship,
but also I mended.

Speaker 1 (27:59):

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Christian O'Connell show on podcast.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
What is the weirdest job You've ever had? I was
talking about some Friday show. I once worked in a
factory where they sold secondhand forkliff trucks.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
My job was just to paint them.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
They were too tight to get a proper sort of
job done of read you know, doing them resprain them,
so I would paint them literally with a paint brush.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
You meant to spray them, then it's great.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
They were too tight to do that, so they just
had some gormous student doing it during the summer break.
So for eight weeks I worked in this factory painting,
hand painting, forkliff, trucks.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Ages and just backbreaking work. Painting's proper hard work as well.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
And the other one I had for during a summer
break as well as a student, was was a bin
man for ten weeks. And this was before this was
early nineties, so no wheelibins, they weren't everywhere, so people
would just lead you know, the old bin bags outside
their houses or down the side of the house. And
so the garbos. The way they used to work was

(31:21):
once you got your round done, you were done for
the day, so they would jog between houses. They were
so fit, these guys. I've never been so fitting in
lugging these, hurling them in and running around. It was
one of the most physically demanding jobs I've ever had
as well. It looks tough and also because they didn't
have the wheelibins, so you were just sort of picking

(31:42):
up these bends all day long. I stank, and remember
I start to go out with the girl and the
relation went nowhere. And I think it's because of the
aura of rotten cabbage.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I could never shower off. She goes smell like sound.
They didn't want to go.

Speaker 7 (31:57):
It's me human garbage.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Back on the bench tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
We've been having a look on air Tasker, which is
a brilliant services site. I use it quite a lot,
but you can pose anything gone there to get anything done.
Here are some of the weirder jobs that people have
posted on there that they want done.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Bathe my pet parrot a hundred dollars.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
The parrot.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's an easy gig, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I have a pet parrot named Parrot Hilton, named for
parat She has a fancy burden and can be quite emotional,
so previous bird washing experience would be nice but not essential.
I found someone to come around tomorrow to trim my
big fat cat.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Larry's along there.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Normally we've taken this place, but it just gets so
distressed going there.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
So I had a look.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Actually, let's ask and I've got someone coming around tomorrow
to give him a trim.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
She's like a form of vet.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
She does that. She's come around to your house. But
she said, listen, are you around? Are you going to
be around? I went, well, I can be because I
just need someone to hold him down. That you should
be getting a well, maybe we take some of the
fee off.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I didn't know that i'd be holding him down. That's
the worst part of the job.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
The holdest feet is a big ass cat coming to Ribbons.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Another job post on their Tuska assist with my dog training.
Pretend to be a postman?

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Now is that real?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Since when we had when we got our puppy German
shepherd dog, the breeders dog breeders, good dog breeders take
it very serious.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
You've got a big dog like that, you have to
stand on top of their training.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
She gave us a two page a four piece of
paper of people that she would need in the first
six months she would need to be exposed to. And
so it was like even people from different parts of
the world, and I need to drive Chinatown just going
can you have a look at my puppy? You don't,
I'm gonna get arrested. Start asking people in different parts

(33:50):
of the world, can you just have a look at
the puppy in the back of the car.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Hey, why why?

Speaker 11 (33:55):
It's all you don't want to have a racist dog
espression on German you know, started years ago. We can't
have our annex of people anyway.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Well, one day this boardered guy came round in Floro,
so straight away I.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Was out, Oh my god, Floro is one can you
stay there?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
So then my wife comes out and says to this guy, oh,
excuse me, we're training our dog at the moment. Thank
you for ticking off the floor. She hasn't seen any
bald headed people. This guy went bright, actually went bright wed.
Then my wife, who has like some form of turets
where there's no filter, that goes, oh my god, I've
really embarrassed you.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I thought, because you're baled, you wouldn't mind talking about it,
and I'm going stop.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Holds up the puppies goes near his bald head.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
Look at this, Yes you can look at that head.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Look at this tick baldy. Anyway, sister dog trained pretend
to a postman. I think that's what's happening here. Yeah,
need someone to be my assistant to train my dog. Basically,
your job would come around and knock at the door.
You will not have to interact with the dog. She
won't be jumping on you as she will be the
other side of the door. Twenty five bucks. And then

(35:07):
this is the oldest one. Need someone with the ladder
sixty five bucks. Long story, but my shoe got thrown
on top of the shop's roof around the corner from
where I live. Need someone with a ladder. It can
get my shoe back. It will literally take two minutes.
This same guy put another ad a few weeks later,
reaching out to the air tasker who came round with

(35:29):
the ladder and got.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
A shoe back. Soon another crazy weekend, long story shoe.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
My shoe ended up on the roof again. This time
it's on the roof of the Westpap Bank. Are you
around Double Bay at all? Please let me know how
much it would cost to grab a ladder and go
get it.

Speaker 7 (35:45):
Thank you that we need to find out more.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
Can we respond to that ad please we'll pay them
fifty yes.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I wonder if every mom and dad can relate to this.
The hardest part of Mother's Day. I suggested that we
should all watch a movie together when you've got kids,
trying to find a movie that I'm happy with. For
some reason, our two daughters, Ruby and Lewis have some
aversion to movies that are not just been made yesterday.

(36:16):
So the one of my wife and I said, look,
this is it should be mum's choice. Okay, it's Mother's
dates the whole weekend, and she went in with the
pitch where I was like.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Oh good god.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
It went so badly that at one point everyone started
arguing and my wife stormed off. I last was Christians
saw this out a limited powers three very strong women.
I don't know if I'm enough to try and bring
peace to situation.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
I managed to.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
She wanted them to watch. I don't even know if
anyone listening has ever seen this movie. It's called Circle
of Friends. Came out in the nineties mid nineties, set
in nineteen fifties Island. Anyone's Still with Me Bula Beulah,
Anyone's still listening to Me talk set in nineteen fifties Island,
Filmed in the nineties. When we saw the trailer, it

(37:01):
looked like it it was like a wedding video from
the nineties unless someone filmed it in an old camcorder,
right that, It's not just that.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
They then get their phones out. You know. I tried
to lie to them about what it was about.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Let's get that's it's not it's not says it says
he whimsical.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Whimsical.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Nineteen and twenty one year olds don't want to watch whimsical.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
We watched it.

Speaker 7 (37:22):
Oh you watched it?

Speaker 12 (37:23):
Oh yeah, well they had too. They had to a city.
Mum's upstairs right now, I upset lying on the bed.
Yea happy with that is her weekend. It's just like
it's an hour and forty two. It's a fantastic period drama.
I some whimsy. Whimsy's not a bad thing, guys.

Speaker 7 (37:37):
A whimsy's not going to kill you.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
So we watched it and there was a lot of
silence in those kids. I said, grumpy, watch I tell
you who loved it. Missus O'Connor also aged very badly.
It was about it was about a very different time,
nineteen fifties. I remember when my wife and I first
started to go out to you. We went to see
at the cinema. It's a very young Alan Cumming in,
isn't it? And Mini Driver? Oh right, it is a

(38:00):
lovely movie, right and it's only an hour and a half. However,
as you're watching it now and I'm watching, were two
very very very strong, powerful feminists who are studying all
kinds of theories that they constantly trying to re educate
me and ostracize me at times, representing the patriarchy and men,
this movie was a tough watch for them. Basically, it

(38:23):
was Irish lad saying that Mini Driver wouldn't find a
husband because she was a bit of a chunky girl,
and it was about that time and those attitudes.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, this wasn't made yesterday. It's made in the nineties fifty.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
All I was doing is explaining I'd kind of like
I didn't direct this, guys.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Very uncomfortable Saturday Night. We all had that.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
She found love at the end. Spoiler Okay, she found
love at the end. All right, we're talking about odd jobs.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
What is the oddest job you ever had? I once
met a guy.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
You know, when you go and pick up your curry
and if you're lucky, there go it's going to be
another fifty minutes. You can sit there and just have
that little peaceful beer alone.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
It's such a lovely gift.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Anyway, there was another fellow that that it'd obviously liked
me on up, has got there too early and just
lied at the Indian restaurant. A call to say he
can come pick it up now we get chatted. This
guy's job, he was a professional underwater welder.

Speaker 7 (39:18):
Oh, how does that even work?

Speaker 2 (39:20):
They sink these temporary cabins, like shipping containers down into
the ocean bed where they're like well, sorting out the
cables or piping that carry you know, a various cables
and stuff like that around the world on the seabed. They
live down there for like five or six weeks at
the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 9 (39:38):
Wo.

Speaker 7 (39:39):
Yes, how do you weld in water?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
He's starting to tell me about it, but in rolled
a lot of very intense engineering terms. They can weld,
but they can they have to weld underwater. Incredible, Yes,
all right, So odd jobs. What is the oddest job
You've ever had? Thirteen fifty five twenty two Rowan, what's yours?

Speaker 13 (39:58):
The oddest job I've ever had was I used to
go into schools and teach medieval history and the bulk
of my job involved me putting on a suit of
armor and getting beaten up with a stick by kids.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
So what part of the learning about medieval history was
you being attacked with sticks.

Speaker 13 (40:16):
We used to teach them a range of topics from
the progression of weapons and armor and the feudal system
and archery and things like that. But I was teaching them.
I was teaching them how knights were trained and how
they fought. So I'd run them through a few training
exercises and then at the end they'd try and beat
me up and I'd try not to get beaten up.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
They must have loved that.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Though this would have been great scot We should comeround
to some my thing because it's such a great time
in history and it's so interesting.

Speaker 13 (40:39):
It's it was great fun and medieval history was compulsory
with year eight, so it was mainly dealing with young
teenage kids and they loved it.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Just what they need is to learn about the progression
of weapons. Make those swinging things, then it's jousting sticks.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Surely the hits in age as well, where they're too big,
where once they start doing that actually going to cause
you a fair bit of damage.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
Sure, you tend to let.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Them medieval on the air. I thought there was a pulpit.

Speaker 13 (41:09):
It tended to get a little bit rough at times.
So it was always the one you wouldn't expect. It
was the girl that suddenly twigged that all the times
her brother ad annoyed her, she could imagine you were
a brother, and.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
It was almost like a kind of therapy. You were.

Speaker 13 (41:21):
Yeah, it was great both A good job.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
All right, Rowan, thank you very much, she called. We
sendra Price. Thanks for calling. Thank you, Jeels, good morning,
welcome to the show, Jewels. What's your story for us?

Speaker 10 (41:33):
Well, when I was in America do my not so
odd job of clipping horses in the barn there, it
was a so jumping barn, and they had a lady
that would come around. She was a clever.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Why she reckoned.

Speaker 10 (41:44):
She could speak to the angels of the horses. Apparently
horses have angels that fly around them, and so she
would tell you what was going on with a horse.
And it was about one hundred odd dollars twenty years ago,
and mostly the horses loved their owners, but they didn't
love their saddles. So my theory was she had shares
in the saddery store up the road. But then I

(42:06):
also remember.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yeah, my brother in law does more a couple of
shadows to give you a okay, give you a maes
right for that.

Speaker 10 (42:12):
But I also remember that she said that can you.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Test someone like that horses mind? You can't.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
You're going to take someone's word for it. It doesn't like
the Sunday you bet?

Speaker 1 (42:21):
What about? Does he like the persons? I greatly growing
up on his back.

Speaker 10 (42:25):
I think it's the owner's mind you need to test.
But she also said with this one horse, that the
water troughs was possessed. But if you phoned her friends,
get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
I like these people for real.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
She specializes in exercise.

Speaker 10 (42:49):
For again, another hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
This is brilliant. Scam off the scam jills, Thank you
very much, So cool.

Morning Christian. You know, I've had probably a really unusual job.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Back before we had supermarkets on the internet. I used
to be a spy and go around supermarkets and check
their prices so we could price match for the company
I worked for.

Speaker 13 (49:53):
Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
To do that, I had to memorize two hundred items
and stick a tape recorder down my bra and talk
to myself as I was walking.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Hang on, there's so much happening right now. I mean,
you had me memorized two hundred items. You should be
working like the government.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
It's a spy.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Yeah, So I was a supermarket spy. So I walked
around supermarkets and checked their prices of two hundred items.
But mumbling into your bra, yeah, mumbling into my bra
into the night is down by.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Fifty nine cents.

Speaker 8 (50:26):
In the night.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Yeah, did anyone ever say what you're doing?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Yes? I did, and I did get thrown out of
casal in supermarkets because they.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Didn't like doing it.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
But then other people must have been doing it. This
must have been happening a lot.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
It was back then. You had to be very careful
and sneaky about doing it. Yes, you had to look
like a shopper and jump you trolley at the end.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Because so how do they still have now mystery shoppers
to check on supermarkets and other big stores what their
service is like?

Speaker 1 (50:56):
I got to ask you, how on earth do you
get a job like that?

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Yeah, I just really don't. I fell into it. I
was working for the company and I just fell into
that job. Yeah, because I had a good memory.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
