Speaker 5 (01:39):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Patsy, Hello, Hello, how are you? How was your long weekend?

Speaker 6 (01:46):
I had a great long weekend. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
I love the extra sleep and it was nice. We
went to Cleveland Estate, which is in the Masiden Ranges
of Victoria.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Beauty, beautiful world.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
So nice.

Speaker 7 (01:56):
There's so many lovely little hamlet towns that you can visit.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was really great time of year. The colors are
all different. In the autumn, it looks even more spectacul Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
It's very, very pretty. But I did a bad thing.
I did a bad thing. On the way back from
dinner on Saturday night, the other the family had stayed behind.
I said, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to bed.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
I'm rather tired.

Speaker 7 (02:21):
So I went up to the room and thinking it
was Room twenty eight, which was our room, but it
actually wasn't.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
So I put the key. It was actually number twenty se.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
See that kind of time.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
No, it wasn't like that.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Okay, I wanted to go just some meantime. Anyway, I'm
going to bed, I'm tired. Or did they say why
don't you go and have a lowdown mumsy's day? Drinking
isn't for everyone.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
Funnily enough, the key actually went into the lock and turned,
and I thought, oh this. I didn't realize it wasn't
our room. Clearly it was twenty six and not twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Anyway.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
I went in and quickly realized, very quickly realized, oh,
this ain't our room. There was a couple sitting on
the bed in their pajamas watching Netflix, and I thought, oh,
and he goes, oh seas in.

Speaker 8 (03:10):
My Christians relatives?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Did you have in there? Dick van Dyke? Good Poppins,
So you'd walked into a different time and country. It
was a chimney swe You really were tied.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
To the Mary Poppins, And I thought, oh my. I said, oh,
I'm terribly sorry, and he said, oh, that's all right.
I don't think i'd lock the door again.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
The accent is actually hard to know whether it's someone
with low intelligence or their English or both. I don't
understand because I'm not casually racist, but ah.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
It was awful.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
I got into the wrong room. Thankfully they were just
in their armies just watching.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Imagine half an hour la that are in bed, long
weekend away from the kids.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Imagine turns up.

Speaker 8 (03:59):
Oh no, what's this.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Surprise that strange accent be determined? Where are they from?

Speaker 6 (04:08):
Ever done it before? Never want to do it again.
Going into the wrong hotel room not ideal.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I once years ago when it was like swipe cards,
when you actually had a key for a hotel room,
an actual a key they would give you like with
a big wooden kind of like waight to it and
actually just getting into wrong when I was tired, tired
as before we had kids, and it was completely wrong
floor and room number. I think it was two one
five I was trying to get into not five to
one two, it's about three floors difference, and just snapped

(04:35):
the key because I just kept going.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
It's not opening. Just snapped the key off the lot.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
So only could I not get into the wrong room.
The people that were trying to get in fact, they
couldn't get into either.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Everyone just loved me.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast, How is.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Your long Weekend? Tell us all about it? Three word
long weekend? I think everyone it was going to be
a very special Big Freeze game, first one after Neil
Danaher dying two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I thought it was incredible day essay. I think they
all did such an amazing job. Neil Danaher, what an
inspiration as an Australian. And you know his charity fight
MND raised over one hundred and twenty million dollars. Wow, right,
since you got diagnosed twelve years ago. Just an example
of how to live a life with service. An incredible
story Neil done now and his family as well if
you saw it yesterday in the what his daughter Beck

(05:26):
has been doing as well with Neil over the years
and it's still doing now. And then to see the
Big Freeze yesterday, the weather was beautiful. It's a fantastic game.
And then Andy Lee almost killed Bluey in front of
all those children, thousands of children's almost a thousand of
children almost saw Bluey drawn?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are you happy? Andy Lee? What's going on?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
It's just and was a little Andy Lee almost had
to be rescued. It's like struggling from it. When he
went down the slide into that freezing cold water. I
thought it was amazing. And then what an amazing story.
So at at a fundraiser before the game at the
MCG a couple from Queensland donated forty million dollars.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Holy mall, incredibly insane story.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
Forty million dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Just shout a function beforehand, forty million dollars astonishing had
they had a couple of wines and they just thought,
you know, I was going to do a ten or twenty,
but Sody, you know that's to forty million.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
I remember my dad came home from a charity auction
once with a signed, framed photo of George Gregan.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
That's not exactly a forty million dollar donation.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
That's still pretty amazing. It's still pretty amazing. What is
your three word long weekend reer?

Speaker 8 (06:38):
Mine is distracted by footy.

Speaker 9 (06:40):
So my partner Will has gone over to Europe, so
he's in London at the moment. I've got the house
to myself. I didn't leave the house. Actually the whole
three days I didn't go past the front gate.

Speaker 8 (06:51):
Isn't that so good, credible.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I warned you Friday, It's Friday when partners go away,
men go feral.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Within minutes, I've become a hermit. And so I'm guessing
food was brought into you.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
Yes, food was.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Once we had to start to have macas on Friday,
it broke the seal. The fairness begun.

Speaker 9 (07:11):
It was the first Domino to four, and so I
organized to have a chat with him Saturday night, our time,
which was London morning. Unfortunately, it was right at the
end of a very thrilling Swans match when they're playing
some killed up and so I had to do a
very dangerous game talking to him because I had to
kind of have the phone up in the same eye

(07:34):
line as the game, so I could have one eye
on the game whilst also, since she.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Last you in just three days, she's gone.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Boss Si Paul Rio, who's developed some sort of iron
conditioned another one.

Speaker 9 (07:47):
So I thought I was getting away with it, but
then he could actually see the reflection of the game
in the background. He goes, are you watching this one's game?
I can see it in the window behind. I tried
a few like early wrap ups. I was like, oh yeah, great,
well you must you must be wanting to get out.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Don't waste time worrying about me oring world stuff to
get to have a great time in European Adventure.

Speaker 9 (08:12):
And you know when you're doing that thing where you're
only really half listening, Oh that's the crazy people know
it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
No way, you're not really just repeating bits of what
they've just said.

Speaker 8 (08:22):
You're just mirroring back.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Oh wait, that was a sound bite. I saw someone
dying yesterday.

Speaker 9 (08:29):
But all's well, that ends well because the swany's one
right and the crazy crazy game.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
All right, we're going to take a break when we
come back. Your three word long weekend? What did you
get up to?

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Christian Connell Show podcast?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
The other thing I thought was beautiful about the big
freeze yesterday for Fight MND was the gai Era doing
the coin toss. What a really, really beautiful gesture. I
thought it was an incredible moment as well. I could
see Max Corn actually tearing up as well, just the moment.
I thought it was fantastic. My three word weekend actually
is World Cup fever.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
I love a World Cup.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I was nine when I first remember falling in love
with the World Cup. That would have been the nineteen
eighty two World Cup in Spain, and so another World
Cup now the other side of the world. And now
I have two teams to support. I've got two teams
in this this guy England and the Socceros is terrible
bo I was telling my dad yesterday, I know more
about the Socceros.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Team than the England team.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Really.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh my, Gover's strange, very strange you've come over. I
know where all the exact timers are for the soccer games.
England games are not and not entirely sure.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Which is why I need my World Cup wall chart.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I've always had a World Cup wall chart, you see
all the paper's given them now a lot of the
websites you can download a free when I've just downloaded
one to my desktop here at work. If anyone knows
a really good wall chart, let me know where you
got it from. You've seeing all these special magazines are
out right now the newsagents, yes, that have got in
those cellophane sort of glad rapp they've got it sealed.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
The wall chart.

Speaker 9 (10:02):
If you've printed one out and there's hundreds of games,
how are you going to cram them all into a
little a four piece of page.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I know you get nice rio. I've been here. Yeah,
it looks so classy having that war chart up here,
and so yeah, World Cut Fever starts to get around
the soccer Use.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
The first opening game for the Soccreuse. It's a great one.
It's this weekend. It's Sunday at two o'clock, so you
can write friends around watch it together, get around the
Soccer US. There's a lot of excitement about the team.
They've got some great young talent as well, and all
the stories are coming through. You've got Lucas Herrington, who's eighteen,
who's the youngest ever player to play for the Soccer US.
And then there's three of the players who grew up

(10:40):
in African refugee camps and then fled to Australia and
then met each other at Adelaide United. Now all three
of them with that background, imagine how hard that is
growing up in a refugee camp in Africa now playing
for the SOCCERUS at the.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
World Cut What a Story's incredible.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
And then the other story, which a really tickled me
as well, poor old Mark Bosnich. Yes I saw this,
I mean incredible and in his day an incredible player.
And then still thinks now he's still that incredible elite.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
I still got it.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
He's still he's still got it. Tries to roll and
just block a shot from Gil McLaughlin and it's blown out.
It's blown out his knee and he comet go to
the World Cup. His job it is to go to
the World Cup and commentate. He come down the plane.
His whole family had planned a whole holiday and they
can't go. He's going to be stuck here watching it

(11:30):
on TV like the rest of them are talking about
the top bars.

Speaker 9 (11:33):
Yes, there's a moment in the video where everyone he
goes down and everyone's laughing.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Don't think because he's like Alaric, isn't he.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
It's like no, everyone starts to realize, oh no, he's really.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
And then I watched the friendly over the weekend one
or just like the last chance to see the soccer
is before the big game on Sunday. They don't mean
getting the World Cup against Turkey. And I was amazed
and very pleased to see that. In nets you have
the most Australian sounding name ever for a player. Pat
Beach actually spelt beach b each. Of course, Australia has

(12:12):
a goalkeeper called Pat.

Speaker 8 (12:13):

O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
So watching the last Soccero's friendly of the weekend, I
was amazing. Se in goal for the Soccaroos. The most
Australian sounding surname ever, Pat Beach. It should be the
World Cup ruling that someone and that eleven has to
have a surname that is kind of adjacent to country.

Speaker 9 (13:33):
We've also got it should be Terry t playing for
We've got to guy the last name Italiano on our team, which.

Speaker 2 (13:40):

Reggie Mike.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I worked for a state government department. There was an
engineer whose name was Rvo Tenny.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I believe this probably Italian rvo or Portuguese.

Speaker 8 (14:42):

Speaker 1 (14:43):

field as well, Arvo Tinney, and then we got Tracy Tucker.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
We have a listener called Tracy Tucker. These are great.
Keep this coming then Australian names.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I think there should be a new law introduced.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yesterday, beautiful beautiful Crisp Autumen all morning in a beautiful
day taking the dog for walker, and I was doing
always to chat to other dog walkers as well. We
are a kind of nod dog walker to dog walker
the morning and what a love is. I saw two
dogs that had their names on their winter jackets. Some

(15:45):
smaller dogs now will go out with a little cheeky
it's a jacket on you, jacker. But to of the
dogs I saw, they obviously were presume they were brothers.
But they have their names on so story one. I
could go, oh and straight away chat to the dogs
using their names.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Very polite it is.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think it should be a law all dogs should
have their names on them. So then we cut straight
into good morning Terry, good morning Dave. Or as I
saw yesterday it was Buster and Douglas. Great names, great
names for two little dashans, for their little tom thumbs
dragging on the muddy ground yesterday. I felt sorry for them.
Actually they were reluctant dog. They did not want to

(16:22):
go on that walk. They were going, how much fun
we've only got out the car lads. Come on, Buster,
come on Douglas.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
All right? Signs you are an adult The quickly litmus
test you can always tell. The sign that you are
a fishing adult is if you go.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
If you go you get really pissed that they've changed
a layer of your supermarket.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
That means you're a fishing adult. Nineteen twenty whe Els
would even care.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
They don't even know where it was the forehound, the
rest of us when we go in there and.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh what, why wouldn't they do that? Oh god, now
where where's the Mexican stuff? And why do they do it? Yeah,
you're right? Why.

Speaker 9 (17:00):
I have a theory that they do it so you
get more lost, and maybe you wander around and you
grab stuff you don't need. They're deliberately disorienting you like
see induce you to new friends.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yes exactly, I know you like taco mix? Have you
been to Italy? All right?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
So the other thing is signs you an adult. You
actually have a sleep routine. You don't is good at bed,
the magnesium, the elthenine, the camramile t you have a
sleep routine. There was a period in your life where
you never worried about sleep. Being an adult is constantly
evaluating your sleep needs recovery. I've got the things that

(17:41):
ping me now every morning my bed tracks my sleep.
And guess what, because I get up reasonably early, I
guess it's always going.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Now that's just not enough, it's very dark. It's just
missing me just now. You need to begin your recovery
right now. Well I can't. I m might work.

Speaker 8 (17:57):
You shouldn't be up.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yes, but sleep, that's all we think about. Talk about.
My whole algorithm knows me. It's various clips of people
on various podcasts who are sleep experts. Blackened out room,
have no light. There can't be a millionmeans of light
in there. You'll never sleep for the rest of your lives.
There is any light there?

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Literally yesterday.

Speaker 9 (18:16):
I've just started doing a fourteen day deep rest course
on the Waking Up app to try to improve my sleep.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
Yes, still all I think about?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
When does this become so stressful to sleep?

Speaker 9 (18:27):
Yes, even when you're trying to get to sleep, you're
worrying about sleep.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Woke up at quarter to three this morning. Nothing willing
on my mind other than why am I wake?

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
And then you know when you're up and you're like, oh,
almost fully awake.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
And that's when all the dark thoughts, all the kids?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Okay, mortgage, all right, real? What is your sign you're
a grown up?

Speaker 9 (18:52):
I've started noticing I'm starting to make the same noise
that my dad makes when he gets out of a
chair or cat.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Is this one?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
There's something reassuring about doing though, isn't there. Yeah, it
feels good.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
It's lending me up.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I think I feel like it actually helps the movement.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes, but then if you think about it, you see
the big you know, when we are doing the powerlifting
at the Olympics, that's not silent. They go, that's their
big effort, our big effort. Now it's just actually getting
out of a chair. There was one when was the
last time they're trying to get out of a bean bag?
Two weeks ago the kids were lying on a bean
bag and I went, I'll come and lie down there

(19:30):
with you, and they.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Were steady, old fella, steady even as they got down
and went this is going to be a mistake.

Speaker 8 (19:36):
I'm here for the rest of that.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Getting up. It's going to be hard. You gotta do
the side roll. Yeah, you're going to take a Niana.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
Maybe that's how you did your bag.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I think it was.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's the beanbag awful things. They're not not for over
twenty one year olds. Didn't they should have middle aged beanbags.
Actually they're actually somehow in flate and propel you us. Yes,
you know, like I want those.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Jackets like an air bag, Patsy, what's a sign show adult?

Speaker 7 (20:01):
I was trying to reverse the car at the wakend
and the family was talking to me, and I said, shush,
there will be no talking while I'm trying to park.
I can't do two things at once. I can't listen
to any form of conversation. Answer questions, tell you where
this is or what's for dinner? If you're talking at
me while I'm parking, I'm the same.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Complete signs when parking, or if you're trying to find
the right address.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
That radio, that podcast must be on complete side.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
Nothing, not even a pin drop. I have to focus completely,
utter silence.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, fifty two even numbers are on the left hand side.
There must be no noise in the cart. It's right parking.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Talking about this earlier. I've got World Cup fever.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
All begins early hours Friday morning for us here in Australia.
Your opening game soccer is played this Sunday against Turkey.
Their first game two o'clock in the afternoon. That's the
only decent times one during daylight hours. The rest of it,

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Sort your team.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Obviously, team's got to look after each other, check no
one gets injured, the biggest injured at the moment. For
the soccerus is Mark Bosnich, former amazing, amazing player play
for Match United, very very high level and has torn
his quadricept so we're hoping to get him on the
show today. Marcus a very funny guy as well. He's
a brilliant commentary now as well. And it was a

(21:30):
great keeper as well back in the day. And he
was I think it must have been some promotional thing
he was doing for him being a commentator, shortly before
flying out with his family to America to be on
TV and talking about or back home to Australia. And
he tried to block a shot from Gil who used
to run the AFL now runs tab Cord and have

(21:51):
been Gilla, don't put some money on him taking what's
out of it. But anyway, he went to save a
shot like he would have done in his prime time.
But you know with him in signs, you're an adult
primetime maybe an ego, but the body knows what age
you are, boss, And he's so inter And Pete has
spoken to March just now right and he's about to
going for an operation.

Speaker 1 (22:09):

Beat back this afternoon after the surgery and hopefully chat
to us tomorrow from his hospital. Bet brilliant, Yeah, Christian signs.
Over the long weekend, we cleaned out the fighting cabinet.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
People still have filing cabinet.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well that's the news.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
There, we've got one.

Speaker 8 (22:31):
What have you got in there?

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Just like a little squad one. It's great.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
It's got all our insurance, our carbadge, oh, paid bills,
minor just.

Speaker 8 (22:38):
Somewhere in my No, no that's chaos. No you need
just search it when I need it.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
No, no, you won't.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Wait.

Speaker 8 (22:47):
So you've actually got your insurance details.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Filing Yeah, fighting cabinet, Yes, you need it, and then
it's all easy. Not going through emails.

Speaker 8 (22:58):
That's cract. I didn't even know if they still existed.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Hey, that sister, my friend has worked for decades, very
very very well. I like to have a hard copy
of it.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yes, same, you see less and less now though. People
it's only very old people that go on a plane
with the printed off ticket. When I'm behind them, I go, oh, bless,
you must be a thousand years old. What was it
like living in a cave?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
So can you see them? Unfolding it. You know, it's
always been folded to four pieces.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
See, I still like a paper bill. Don't be emailing
my invoice and bills. You've seen it in sale mail,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Now I'm the same. It gets lost in a m box. Yes, wow,
it's easy to miss hard copy. That's wow, hard copy.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Put it in my hand.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
This is a generational thing. We we didn't grow up
with that.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
We grew up in a generation of hard copy, hard
times and hard copy.

Speaker 8 (23:47):
So you go to your mailbox, you open up them.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's like I find it somehow, Yeah, no, I find
it's it's life, real life. I find it reassuring getting
a hard copy of it.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
I'll even pay two bucks extra a month or whatever
it is to get a paper copy of a bill.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
I don't mind. I'm prepared to pay that.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
What do you do with the bill after you've put
it in the filing comment when it's paid?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh yeah, I bet there's a lot of people right now,
Stall who still has the filing cabinet system, like Pats and.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
I the younger Jen like Rio, you don't. You didn't
grab like that.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
We would seeing our parents have that filing cabinet ours
my wife has even got labels insurance like the medical things,
even like the pet insurance, all.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
That kind of stuff. They've even got their own folder.
The pets have their own. Larry's got a passport.

Speaker 8 (24:35):
What ye did you have to get what?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Larry the cat has got a passport? I think our
dog has as well. Really he's some Queensland we've got
on during lockdown and they have to have a passport. Yes,
I think because he's so he could travel, open up
his original names in there, move faster where it is
his big name. But there's no photo of him. It's
like having a passport. Someone could steal Larry's identity. They

(25:03):
don't even need a head.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Christian signs an adult.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
When you go to a brand new shopping center and
you check out the map as soon as you get
to know where all the toilet locations are, that's wrong,
Linda Natalie. Christian signs you an adult. You do not
bounce out of bed anymore. You need to do the
safety roll one leg over slowly, each yourself up, then
sit for a moment. You identify what injury you may

(25:29):
have sustained during the nights. Christian signs an adult keeping
track of how much hair you lose in the shower?

Speaker 1 (25:36):
What was it more than yesterday? Was it surprisingly light?
Was it concerningly heavy? And why Christian? We thought of you.
The other day we're out for walk.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
We approached this neighbor to ask who their fence guy
was because we love their fencing so much on our
morning walk.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
You must give me that persons details, Who is your
friendsing guy? Who did this? A beautiful bit of fencing?

Speaker 10 (25:58):
This?

Speaker 1 (25:59):

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Thank you very much, Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
One of my daughters to send me a text message.

com mining industry radio.

Speaker 2 (26:22):

all right, Christian.

Speaker 11 (26:26):
I have a.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I have a filing cabinet.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Where does Rio keep his birth certificate and important papers?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Where are they?

Speaker 8 (26:34):
I'll tell you what they are in my mom's filing cabinets.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh see, there you go, little sonny.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
What do they have digital birth certificates now or is
it physical?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
No? You still need a physical one for natural any
procedure such as getting a mortgage or opening up a
bank account, a.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
Birth certificate to open a bank account.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay, you don't know how money laundering works. Okay, I'm talking.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
To a child.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Well, I'm a mad I've seen stuff. You don't know
how many bank accounts I've opened up, son, I've opened
up moral bank accounts. You've had hot deals. Maybe your
mummy opened your one eyes excuse? Have you got pass book?

Speaker 8 (27:11):
You needed a passport? Maybe a Medicare card.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
There you go in one of these forms of idea. Yeah,
you need a cabinet for them. Where do you keep
all your passports? I've got a folder for that.

Speaker 8 (27:22):
You got to fold it?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, yeah, yes, Now mind you see my top draw
Oh no, chaos, chaos.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
The Christian, my husband says on having not one, but
two filing cabinets, all for different folders for different things.
Bill's travels, superannuation, et cetera. Christian, as an adult, before
you wake up, make sure everything is packed ready for
work the night before. I've been known to forget things
to work. I always have to double check before leaving home. Now, Christian,

(27:49):
I'm thirty. It's not just older people that like the
paper ticket. I like the hard copy. Wow, I just
thought it was much older people that like to do that.
All right, So what was in every single school canteen
and tuck shop, Patsy?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
What was it for you?

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (28:05):
Staym dimmis in ours. You'd smell it dim sims deemed
not fried, but it'd smell it about recess time, ahead
of lunch time. The ladies would put you know, the
mum's school moms would get them ready, and you just
waffed across into the classroom corridors. It was fantastic, Always
steamed dimmies and always with soy sauce.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
Lovely, that's a fancy school.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Do you reckon hot sausage roll for us? That was true?
Oh my god, this simple. It was all pretty simple
and basic foods.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
But that hot sausage roll sometimes you get it with
a layer of like real dirty, old cheap cheese.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
On top of the one. You know, I've never had yet.
Now I think that would make me sick cheese time.
You know, you doesn't need that. You would eat any
old crap.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
You're true, you can just compost stuff for energy immediately, Joey,
you would eat an entire like Sunday roast and then
ten minutes go I'm starving and then just run around
because we used to move more. Now we're too silentry reo.
What was in your school and when you went to
quite posh on? So what they have cavea can't see me.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Rock oysters always?

Speaker 8 (29:11):
The day was Friday?

Speaker 9 (29:14):
Your morton by bugs are here. I want to know
if they still do this at school. Do you do
the brown paper bags? You write what the order is
and then you take that to the canteen later or
is that I think a relic of the past.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yes, there's an app and you fill it out.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
More hard copies. It was the brown paper bag and
then a hard copy.

Speaker 11 (29:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
No, it's all the app.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
And you can even load up her bus pass which
is like a flexi card for my fifteen nearly fifteen
year old, and she can.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Just swipe it get a hot chocolate whatever, if she's
got credit. It's brilliant. So you don't even have to
take cash to school anymore, because.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
I remember that was a big thing. When I was
in year six.

Speaker 9 (29:51):
I got the job of being the guy who took
over the orders on the brown paper bag.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
That was the coolest kid.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
L this is why you're gay. It wasn't your choice.
You don't need to take their orders. I'll do it.
My name is Reorder. I'm topping mats.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
No, all the kids in the playground.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Here come square O real square square bear, hold of
the square bears here? It isn't it? So it is?
Where were we? That's it?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
We're your school talk shop and can team we take
a break and just remind us sounds of our ages.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Actually, Christian O'Connell show on podcast, you could find out
which pub is getting the ultimate pubreno all thanks to
four X.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
When I say, I mean sixteen day turnaround court of
a million dollars to transform one pub that really does
need saving.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Rial and I went on a secret mission last week.
We flew somewhere, We drove somewhere, and it was worth it.
We met two Ossie legends you all know, people like this,
who brought somewhere. It was going to be a home.
They were going to shut down a pub and they thought,
we cannot do this. And they've never run a pub
before and they've been running it for the last two years.
It's an incredible story. It's a uniquely f exective me

(31:39):
Australian story as well. They are the deserted winners and
you can hear them in five minutes time. Before that,
at school, what was in every school canteen? The touch shrunk,
especially when I was in high school. The hot cheese roll,
you're right, was quite the delicacy, long white roll mugs,
standard cheese wrapped in foil, cooked in the oven, delicious,

Oh I'm a touch shopper Touch Shop runner for twenty
two years and we still use cash cash only and
brown paper bags.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Oh this is good to hear. Some traditions are worth keeping,
aren't they.

Speaker 10 (33:24):
Oh? Absolutely, the kids need to learn money.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
And what are the most popular items at the moment.
Then we're talking at the things of old in the
eighties and nineties.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
What is it now?

Speaker 10 (33:33):
Hands down, steal meat pies, sopage rolls, chicken fingers is
very modern and chicken wraps so tender wraps its very modern.

Hand you mate, Darren, Good morning, Darren, Welcome to the
showd morning, Christian.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
How are you this morning? I'm good mate, Thanks for
giving us a go. So what was it at your school?

Speaker 11 (34:07):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (34:08):
Ridden frogs. You used to buy a bag of bread
and green frogs and used to basically eat them all
the way through class.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yep.

Speaker 12 (34:15):
And basically you just love and you sneak them through class.

Speaker 11 (34:19):
Basically.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, that was just to give you a little buzz
during a boring maths lesson.

Speaker 12 (34:25):
Any money left over, you would go and buy some redskins.
Not these red chief things that had these days. They
were redskins back in the day.

Speaker 8 (34:31):
Yes, I get stuck in the back of your.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, half your day was just picking it like a
dentist at the back, trying to get her to scrape
it off. It's like wax welded up there. Darren, great one.
Thank you very much for calling the mate. Have a
good day you mate, Tim. Good morning, Tim. Yeah, yep, Tim,
thanks you giving us a called Tim Hello.

Speaker 11 (34:53):
Christian High High School. In the seventies Tasmania, we're talking
cream buns now. A cream bun was basically a breeosh
bun yep, big split across the top, fake break cream
right through the middle, that fakewsberry dob in the middle
and covered in icing sugar. So when you turn around

(35:15):
from the window with it in your hand, the person
immediately behind would blow the icing sugar all over your front.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Of course they did that, Pablo Escobar.

Speaker 8 (35:24):
It was a pre cover time blowing on other people's food.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yes, and I remember you're right at our school touch
shop as well.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Eighty percent of it was high sugar buns. Basically given
the next generation of kids type two diabetes at an
early age. They didn't care about there was no protein anywhere.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Now that's a great one, Tim, thank you very much
for good May have a good day all.

Speaker 10 (35:49):
Thanks guys.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
By the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Over the last couple of weeks, this show has been
on a mission to save your pubs. Last week, thanks
to the hundreds of you that told us about your
local pubs that really need five thousand dollars, we gave
five pubs five thousand dollars each. This morning, another another
big pub gets helped, and this time it's for us.
So announced which one pub we're going to give the

(36:16):
ultimate pub renner two and I mean over quarter of
a million dollars to totally transform a pub. Now, Rio
and I went there last week. We went on a
secret mission. We flew up to Brisbane and we drove
for an hour and a half too, an amazing pub,
a pub that really does need some help, but a
pub that isn't just a pub. When we first started
talking about this, these places aren't just buildings there are

(36:39):
there really are, There's something special.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
They are the front rooms of a community. And this
pub was that.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
It was a beautiful I guess the only one. I
can describe it as your classic Queensland kind of pub.
It looks really still majestic from the outside. The bones
of it are great, but it really.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Needs some help.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
But the stars of this pub are the two people
Tracy and Gary, that brought it two years ago to
be a home and then realize we can't shut this
pub down.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
The community will lose so much. So get this.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
For the last two years they've been running this pub.
They've never run a pub before. The plan was to
buy it, live in it and shut it down as
a pub. They've become reluctant pub bonus. Basically, they're working
in it seven days a week and it was their
plan to sort of start winding down in their lives

(37:32):
and so but Rihi and I just fell in love
with them last week and the story and the pub
there and which is why we're really really excited to
announce that the pub getting the ultimate reno is the
Criterion Hotel in Heldon up in Queensland. And on the
line now is Tracy. Good morning, Tracy, Good morning Christian.
Now I can tell you've really been at the coffees.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
This morning.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
It is lovely to speak to you again. We loved
meeting you and your husband Gary last week.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Thank you. We loved you guys too, Henrio and e Hamburger.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
And here's a bizarre obsession with the local police station
and knowing how many serving offices.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Since he's been here, they put more police on.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Now, Tracy, tell everyone listening then, you know, I was
just saying about how you know your and your husband
quite a unique story with this pub. Actually is that
you brought this place really to turn it into a
family home exactly.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Yes, we were winding down. Gary had eye issues and
I'd been diagnosed with their mess so it was to
wind down a little bit. And there is no other
hotel in Helenden, so we couldn't shut it down. It
was the hub of the town, so it stayed open
and we kept working, which is.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Why we're choosing your pub to give the ultimate reno too.
It really deserves it. And I just love the fact that, yeah,
you're meant to be winding down, and you both got
your health issues, but you just signed to wind up
really and start working in there seven days a week.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah it's a little crazy, but yes, seven days a
week and we opened a cafe and this is just unbelievable.
This will put us five to ten years ahead of
ourselves to anything we could have done for the pub.

Speaker 10 (39:17):
And she needs it.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
And do you think we need also to maybe give
a little bit of care attention to that dog digger
as well. He needs some kind of makeover or attitude adjustment.
Rio was terrified of him.

Speaker 8 (39:29):
He was giving me looks the whole time.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Well, your husband kept saying, he's purring it, Ria, but
that is a growl angry.

Speaker 10 (39:36):
Yes, he took a lighting to Rio.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
It took it something to I think it was going
to take a chunk out of him.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Now, Tracy tell us, so we're going to give you
the ultimate reno, and we've only got like sixteen days.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
So here's the plan. Sixteen days to transform your pub.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Okay, over a quarter of a million dollars, that's what
we're going to put into this place. And then we
thought we're going to come up there and do the
show for the grand reopening.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Wow, this is just all overwhelming.

Speaker 10 (40:08):
It's just so much, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Well, you deserve it. It's an amazing pub. You and
your husband are two legends as well. So what do
you think really needs to happen in the sixteen days
we're up against the time? What is it painting the
carpets in the dining room.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Definitely, the bar will do something with that, you know,
painted and give it a bit of a facialist the
dining room and maybe a little bit of paint.

Speaker 10 (40:32):
We'll throw it at the coffee shop as well.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
And also I thought, you know the pub garden. You've
got that great area there as a pub garden, but
it's kind of empty. It needs something in the pub
garden doesn't need some love, Yes it does, yeh, it
needs some love. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
So I thought today we could ask for ideas and
the listeners about what we could do with the pub garden.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
And also at nine o'clock this morning, I know you've.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Been up since five am serving coffees and snacks that
rather than the community the painters will be arriving to
start work straight away. So the reno, I'm not calling
you to say it's start the next couple days. It
starts this morning because we're up against it. Oh my god,
it's a sixteen day pub makeover.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Well, thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
All right, we listen, Tracy, we look for ideas about
the pub makeover, and if anyone else wants to come
and help as well, maybe pick up some rollers and
some paint and we'll go up to Queensland to go.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
And see you guys. But the work starts at nine
am this morning. Tracy.

Speaker 9 (41:23):
Well, thank you so.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Much and four exs.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
This is just unbelievable, our pleasure.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Look forward to seeing you soon and we'll keep talking
about how it's all going. Okay, Tracy, but congratulations to
you and your husband Gary, the Criterion Hotel and Helen
and Queensland. That is our pub that we're going to
give the ultimate pub reno to Congratulations.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Speak soon, Tracy, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Thank you, Christian, thank you, the Christian O'Connell show.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Thank you very much. I'll pass it on to him.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Thanks to four X. The pub's calling. Somewhere between the
first sip and the last laugh. It's always a four x.
Go online see the video of Rio and I up there.
It's an amazing place. We've got so many crazy stories
for them as well, which will share in the next
couple of days. But today the big thing we need
to help with what would be the ultimate pub guard

(42:08):
And at the moment it's just that it's just a garden.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
What would make a great pub garden?

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Send us your ideas the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
So we just announced which pub is getting the ultimate
pub rano in Save our pub It. Let's just say this,
it's not down the road from us. A lot of
lazy radio shows of this pit convenience. When we start
the show, we said that we want to make a
breakfast show and make it so wherever you want Australia.
If you want this kind of radio and what we
do on the brights of the dial, this is the
show for you. We're just going to make it more available.

(42:40):
And that's why we're in Sydney now. We're in Adelaide
in Perth and we pitched a pub that's in Queensland.
We went with a pub that actually just got a
great story and it really doesn't matter to us whether
it's in Queensland, whether it's a Victoria or New South Wales.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
The pub is what.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
We've been looking for and the people in the community,
and when Rie and I went up there on our
secret mission last week, this is what your kind of
country pub is, and this is what we're doing this for,
is actually to shine a light on those places that
are struggling. And you've got these two people that did
not set out in life in their sixties to run
a pub.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
They brought this pub.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
They found it online, thought it'd be a nice place
to have as a home, you know, and to have
their grandchildren in. And then when they moved in, they realised,
we can't close this place down. This is the only
hotel in this community. A thousand people live around here.
This pub is over one hundred years old. Generations have
got stories connected to her place. So they've been running
it for the last two years. So when we met

(43:35):
them last last Wednesday, when Marina and I went up there,
I just presume they've been running pubs before. They've never
run a pub before in their life. They've been running
it for two years and after they decided to make
this decision. After a week or two of moving into
this pub, which is about sort of half an hour
from a place called Tawoomba, in a place called Helden,
Tracy Goetz a diagnosis from you know, she's not well,

(43:56):
she's got MS and she's still up this morning at
five am serving coffees for the community.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
They are. When you talk about Ossie Legends, that's.

Speaker 8 (44:05):
Those two one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Seriously, when we were up there, you would have thought
they've been part of that commit for twenty years. Everyone
knew them and they cared about everyone. As soon as
Rio turned up. They obviously can smell city slickers.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
No, no, said Pats. We walk across a road.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I'd really been doing some peace to camera and then
gave it away, you know, across from the pub, and
just that old guy didn't he Pa, Pat just comes
up to us.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
You know when the local does this, you're doing?

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Where are you from? Sizing me up as not a local?
You ain't from around here, stranger? What you're doing here?

Speaker 1 (44:39):
You're doing?

Speaker 2 (44:39):
So we told him, and then straight away is going
people already care about These couple are amazing. Straight away
he was like an handf for this pub and then
he told us a wild story about the rodeo. They
did it round the back of the pub.

Speaker 9 (44:49):
My god, Patty, have you ever heard of such a
thing as a pub? When I said that, they said
they held a rodeo at the pub. I said, I've
never heard of a pub rodeo. They looked at me
like I was an alien.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Thirty odd balls, thirty balls, fire people, anyone can have
a go on.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I don't know what queen where Queensland is on sort
of bureaucracy and admin health and safety. They were telling
me about a twelve year old that did it and
then obviously got thrown off and then chased.

Speaker 8 (45:19):
By bow and not in a nearby field in the pub. Yeah,
just behind the bugle there.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Was a hill's hoist and then there was like near
that was where the bulls was. We had balls running around, yes.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
So anyway, that's why we chose this pub. It was
just well, this, this has to be. This is what
we've been talking about. So the big thing we need
at the moment, and we've only got sixteen days, is
I think we focused first of all in the pub garden, right,
because that is that's where families are and at that moment,
it's just a garden, to be honest, A couple of
dog gun poos. Maybe a place for dog poos, why not?

(45:56):
You know all kids can use it as a chalk.
They can withdraw with the little tried up ones that
I saw there, or kick it around anyway. Christian, my
local pub is the is festooned with lights.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
Beauty's exactly the one.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
It looks so cozy in the evening. They're cozy. They
always make the night a bit more magical. Plus you
have lots of seating x wooden benchres than never go astray.
Good luck to Tracy. She sounds like an awesome gal.
She is, Christian. What about a band stage that can
accommodate two all three piece local band where there's new
music on the big old eighty inch TV for sports.
They do have an area and this is radio, but

(46:32):
I'm saying era in quotation marks.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
It's an area the stage. It looks like it looks
to be honest at the moment, sort of place where
they might make a hostage video.

Speaker 8 (46:43):
And it's not an exaggeration.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
No, no, no, that is the only way I could
describe it.

Speaker 8 (46:48):
By a mission needs a bit of work. The stage yeah.

Speaker 9 (46:50):
Yeah, it is not so much as stage as a
top holean yep and a giant Australian flag to sort
of cover up the top holean.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yes, that's it. Yeah, Christian, what about some tables and chairs? Wow,
that's really going.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
To I would't besdvised that we get some awards who
many of us would advertise that as well.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Come to the Criterion Hotel. We have tables and chairs. Oh,
they're really going to be so wow. We oh my god.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
The Christian o'cnnall show came and they powered quarter of
a million dollars into some tables and chess.

Speaker 8 (47:25):
We can have to turn that money.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
We need to. We need to level up this project
right now.

Speaker 5 (47:31):

hut like a lot of money. You're being a professional
corn hole.

of cornwall. Corn hole. That's catch right as they say,
it starts here, my friend. Oh you know when you
hear corner, it's time to toss your bean bag.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Let's not forget if you are you making a note
of any of these ideas for the pub reno for
the pub garden obviously brought the top. There's some tables
and chairst It's going to take some beacon to do
that Christian scene. If you've give them the prize to
a queens and pub, perhaps you can decorate the garden
with New South Wales blues membapillia, maybe a front and
center lifelike shop. Paul Gallon holding up the trophy they

(48:35):
actually have in the corner, in a tiny corner where
no one dares go, is a blues corner.

Speaker 9 (48:41):
Yeah, so the whole pub is festooned in Rhon's memory build.
There's this huge flag out the front that takes up
almost two stories, and then there's this tiny little pocket
of blues memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
I didn't see anyone daring to sit over in that corner.
Very intimidating.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
That was Christians. A big garden without a kiss pimball machine.
You have them outdoors doors, I'll tell you what we
do need? Oh my word, wake up, Wake up Australia,
wake up.

A giant thing and must be yes, this country loves
a giant thing. And then really marketing reasons, it's mainly
places that want some attention love.
