I was getting to know people, John happened to be
one on the twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:20):

felt like this is meant to be that we're meeting
each other. And he was talking about the show, and
all his nice ones said, Hey, John, you're gonna be

how was your weekend? How was the drinking day Saturday.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Oh wow, talk about country tough. I think I've been
out of the country too long to realize just how
steadfast that these women can be. So I hosted a
ladies day at the Alexandra Knitball and Football Club. Great
group of girls. There was a couple of hundred. We
had the best day, Patsy, awesome, best day.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So pulled the car in.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
You know I love regional foot You pull the car
right up to the fence.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
As you mentioned it in seven years. Oh no, I
never heard that before. Love regional footy. Have you ever
heard that?

Speaker 4 (02:55):
It takes me back to being a kid and watching
my brother's play footy. You drive the car right into
the ground, right up to the fence, and.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
It looks so strange. You see that. Just try it
onto the oval on.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
The oval, but right up to the oval the gate.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I always thought it was because if I thought it
was just like the cheap floodlights, it gets a bit darker.
Can get their cars. We can all play off.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
So we had to watch the girls. The girls had
to finish their netball game. Phenomenal group of girls. You
know they had a player there that was fifty seven.
She was incredible. She's played her whole life and still
comes back on a Saturday to play with these girls.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Anyway, so we had to wait.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
For the netball to rap, and then when we're going
to go over to the club rooms, our lady's day, right,
she's had tough One girl had a broken arm, another
girl did her acey l and as she's laying there
just she's a nurse, actually just knocked it back into
place herself on the court.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I thought, God, this is a blood sport.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You know. We have messages to the show Friday just
saying that Patsy, you know it's tough out here. Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
They weren't kidding, and so I thought, any minute now
the ambulance will come and take her off like she
did a racel anyway, Na, she gets up, Oh, get
me some crutches. So she's on her crutches over to
the Ladies' Day and I said to her.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Are you not like going to get scams or something?
And she goes, oh, no, I wouldn't miss Ladies Day.
After Ladies Day off, go to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Everything in his right order.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Incredible women. But yeah, we had the best time. It
was really really great.

a lot of them listeners to the show.

The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Christian, I live in Alexandra where Patsy was Saturday, and
waking up Sunday the town was different. Ends had been
tipped over, Carls had been tipped over, Bottles smashed everywhere,
blood and teeth on the floor. Christian, it was destruction everywhere.
Then I realized what happened. Patsy and bottomless brunts, drinking
ladies had run riot on this town. Pray for us, Christian.

(05:16):
Alexandra will be rebuilt again. Ryan, you're in our thoughts
and prayers right now, and the good people of Alexandra,
Hurricane Patters. Yeah, we have one bit is missing from
this story, right and that is the drinking. Yes, all
this stuff about acls and stuff that this was a
drinking day even the way, because our language reveals ustill twice.

(05:38):
You said we had to wait for the netbill to
wrap up. What you said you love regional sport. I
love it when it wraps up. You go Levadia smashing
down the old pinos and prosecco.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
But it was a good game. North were in it.
They really listen. I listen. I know that you've gone
all in the North and I like that. But with
sport you're supposed to be you know, you can't be bipartisan.
We can't have some one kind blind idea. They win
it every every round. Oh so close. It was only
last weekend. We're only ninety six points. Oh my god,

(07:25):
another five quarters we could have been tim behind Monney
said the exact same thing.

Speaker 5 (07:30):

Speaker 2 (07:35):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yesterday with my wife. We're driving and my wife has
accellently created a future time waste. Okay, while ago, I
think we did change a letter in a song, change
your word in a song. Okay, yesterday we were talking
about I don't know how we got on to it,
songs about radio and she goes, oh you should play

(07:59):
that song by r Em before I go said the
song time she goes, you know, what's the frequency Bernard?
And immediately I kept my phone out and I'm shaking
with laughter. I've got to remember what the she goes?
Is it called? That went? No, no song's ever gonna
have Bernard, and even stayed out loud. What's the frequency Bernard? Bernie?
It doesn't even sound right.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
I don't think anyone's ever sung the word Bernard.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's what it is. Bernard ever been in the lyrics
of a song. Let's alone in the title Bernard. I
can't think of any especially r em what's the frequency Bernard?
Bernard is such an old school name. Do we even
have anyone listening right now? Is called Bernard? Old timy name,
isn't I reckon? If you're called Bernard, you're over fifty.

(08:44):
There's no twenty something. It's called Bernard. Maybe a Bernie, yeah,
maybe a younger Bernie. But rock in the four Bernard. Yeah. No. However,
I would say the young family's right now. When I
mean young, I mean like the baby's brewing in your tummy, Bernard.
Let's bring it back. Let's are showing a new generation
of Bernard's.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
It's a very dignified name.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Bernard. Yes it is. Yeah, yeah, I'd love to someone
call in one day, Christian and go our baby boy

middle name was Bernard. Yeah, Thomas Bernard.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Well that's a good name.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah. Now, Rio, how do you get on over the weekend?
You are home alone. So people don't realize this, but
it's only minutes from a civilized, gentrified man going feral.
It's crazy. It's minutes the one my wife goes away
for a weekend. It's not like on the second day
she's barely got around the corner. The trousers are coming off,

(09:45):
the bears are being open. You know, there's very little
care for mess everywhere. It's the best.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
It's chilling how quickly you go from a nice civility
to then just living.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Basically, you know when they drag Saddam Hussein out that
spidery hole, that's what you would have been by And
then suddenly right you say, oh my god, they'll be
back in an hour. That frantic cleaning, and they know
because they come in it's too clean, smells of my
air freshener and the hoover has been put away and yeah,
it's like a teenager who's had a party just roped
back up.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
Yeah, oh yeah. My partner will left for the weekend,
and like I love him. I love him best thing
that ever happened to me. But second best thing is
him leaving. Having the house to mind.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
There is the paradox of relationships. It is so, isn't it.
Both of those things are equality true?

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Yes, when oh my god, like no, I could do
whatever I want, dishes everywhere, not putting anything away, clothes years.
I woke up Saturday morning actually went to Pran Market,
which is a whole I hadn't been there in like
maybe three or four years.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, did you take out alone? I know you couldn't
buy a house last weekend. Did you use that money
to go around shop around bram Park?

Speaker 6 (10:53):
It wouldn't have gone far. I rocked up first.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
I drove in the car park and it looks like
a Mercedes Benz.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Dealership or something.

Speaker 7 (11:00):
I wrocked up in there, like mum's two thousand and
four Volvo.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Wow, already very out of there's a dog food section there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
It's more expensive than human too.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't know how people afford it. Seriously, I reckon
it's only for to dog owners. Yes, no, seriously, that's
what normal person can afford.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
That they had. I haven't had I feel it in
like two years. And their dogs.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Their own poop. They don't need dog biscuits are best.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
And then I had the best sandwich in Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
So when do you go? Because I love the cheese toastie,
you can get a makero of mine. I cannot recommend
about that enough.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
I should have done that. That is a Actually no,
I didn't have my lactose tablet.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
So if I did poop your pants in the car
park right behind mummy's Wolvo picked my ride, I had
the I didn't have my laptop. Establish you sound eighty.

(12:09):
It's supposed to be the young cool one on the show.
One of my friends Friday was going Rio is doing
a great job of the show. It's it's great to
have that young, fibrant energy flashwood. Have my laptop tablets.
Oh my god, about too much shadders coming through it is.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
It's so dangerous. I have to carry them with me everywhere.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Now it's bloody hell like an asthma in Halo.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
What did you have something nice? Because they've got all
these amazing food places there.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Yes, and to be fair, it was a twenty three
dollars sandwich.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Better twenty three dollars sit down mill for that, oh wow,
But it was a sandwich when you could get in
pre mile. I need those laptose tablets. I think I
just saw it myself.

Speaker 7 (12:54):
McBean's butcher have a roast pork hetta sandwich with a
salsa verde.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
It was unbelievable. It's I think it's Jeane McBean Butcher's.
I know that one that is beautifully done out, isn't
it very? And the people behind the counter have leather
apron y. Yeah, and that's what you're paying for exactly
all right. The rest of us just have a cotton
in the kitchen. If you wear one a tool, a
leather one makes it look like we're proper old school

(13:21):
family butchers. Yes. The carving up a pig or something, yes, exactly, well,
it probably were a fresh peak they've just dealt with
for your sandwich. So what was in it?

Speaker 7 (13:30):
Roast pork header, which is like the pork belly that's
wrapped in herbs and then wrapped in and of its
in over itself, and it's got the crispy skin on top.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
They cut that up and so it's greasy.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
Did you say mushrooms in there? No mushrooms. The salsa verde,
delicious green, and they stuck. It's a big, fat, juicy,
lovely chibata. And when you squeeze it all the juice.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
If there's no one around, you just want those juices
all over your face. Just be wiping it off your
chin like it is the last days of the Roman Empire.
That is living like a burning.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
The Christian o'connal show podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Big News Monday. Oh my god, Big big show, new
so big. You already know about it, A lot of
you Christian. I think you've forgotten about Bernard Fanning. No,
Bernard Fanny is fifty five. I said, if you're called
Bernard now, you're more likely to be over fifty. I'm
just saying, listen, if you're pregnant, you listen to a
show you aren't quite settled on a name for a boy.

(14:30):
Bring Bernard back or.

Speaker 7 (14:32):
Bernadette, old Bernadette, Bernadette.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I feel like you still get some Bernadettes.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah, they pop up.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Your old school guy, a young guy called Bernard rare
as Hen's teeth and there's nothing rare than that. Christian
Bernard Thomic thirty two true, that is one under fifty,
Nicole Conmonni Christian. I work in childcare. One the children
in my toddler room has a baby brother called Bernard
ah Christian. Like you, I think of it as an

(15:00):
older person's name, Christian. What about Bernie Vince? But again
he's not he's not really is he known as a
Bernard and he's a Bernie? Now on Friday Show. In
the middle of the show, my wife messaged me. And
this happens with way too much ease. My wife, Sarah.
I love her, but she does not respect that this

(15:20):
is a high skilled job. It's like you're on a
safety wire every day and there's no safety in it
underneath me. We could all fall off this safety net
at any moment. My wife doesn't respect that. I keep
saying to it, it's like I'm in surgery for three
hours or well, actually, in my art I could never
set that out loudery, but thank you for seeing what
I do here. My wife just sees it like most

(15:42):
of the time I'm sat around my feet up, just
you know, yacking up in here with you. That's how
it looks to an untrained observer. You might see Federer
playing a great game thing, but he loves having a
little knock around there, you know, Rod Laver. No, he's
at work. He's not being messaged when he's cleaning his
racket exactly. Anyway, she said, Okay, Chris is about to
run out of fuel. Can you find out how many

(16:02):
k's are in the reserved tank of my car. I've
got to make it twenty six k's. I'm running late.
I had to do these complicated masks very quickly. Was
also hosting the show. This is not the first time.
My wife is a repeat offender of for me. As
soon as I get the few gates, gets into the
final quarter, I'm pulllling over as soon as a cane cow.

(16:23):
No no, no, no, no, no, no. Always ready. Well,
it happens in the middle of night. I need to
drive a family member or neighbor to hospital. Oh, we're
just going to go by this seven eleven. I just
got Now the ambos are taken too long together. I'll
drive you. Oh no, I'm empty. We're going to conk out.
Quarter tank will get you to anything? No, no, no, no,
you go no, No, what if the zombies come and

(16:45):
I need I need to go to the high country.
I need to make it to a chuka and take
my people's there. Okay, sly, Oh no, I'm just run out.
I'm running out in higher Do somebody to come in
for me?

Speaker 6 (16:58):
I didn't fact you're in the zombies.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
No, always be ready for a zombie apocalypse. And you're
gonna need those laptoes, tablets. Have a bag ready if
you be ready. It's I don't know. And there are
two types of people in life. There are the empty
tankers and the rest of us. Who are you rare?
You an empty tanker? Seen that mummy' volvo? You work
around it.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
If it hits the light, I'll start. That is when
I start to think about getting fuel. But before then,
come on, I feel like you have to make sure
you use up the fuel, otherwise you get old, dusty fuel.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
To me, it's like when you haven't eaten anything for
six or seven hours and you're running on vapors and fuel.
The car when you fill up goes, thank you, I've
got a full tummy. It's like you put a big
Sunday roast in. It's oh, you can hear. It's slotting. Yes, yes, yes,
reassuring rather than bone dry parched. Now I have a

(17:51):
message here from Patsy's husband, the worrib Love God, gooday, Christian.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
I heard you talking Friday about Sarah asking you how
many reserve kilometers might be left on an empty tank.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
At least Sarah checked with you.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
I swear Petrena thinks there's an infinity amount of reserve
col has left because some days I get in the
car and the needle doesn't even move up to the
fifty position, and I don't know whether I'm going to
make it to the service station, which is literally a
sixty second drive around the corner.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
You're right, my wife does the same as you in
the pats of the infinity tank.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yes, it's like a little game. I think, you know what,
I'll just run the gauntlet. Let's see how far we
get today.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's like you're spinning that revolver chamber. You're playing Russian runette.
It will bake you.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
On the backside, absolutely, I know.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
But you have to do it all the car well,
at some moment bite on the backside and take out
revenge on you by running out.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
No, those reserve tanks a mess eighty because.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
You keep thinking that when you're still in that reserve face. Yeah,
a couple of I remember a couple of months ago,
do you rememb when my wife ran out of fuel
and she went Christ the cars run out fuel, and
I actually said says, you're right. I actually said so right.
I was happy down, Well, this is what happens. And
then she goes, can you come and pick me up?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, sure where I she
told me she was went, that's a minute away. I

(19:07):
don't listen, Prince, Yes, this dam has always have been
picked up for more. And then think about your consequences
of your behavior. All right, So are you an empty tanker? Kitlyn?
You're an empty tanker. I can tell you run way
too loose.

Speaker 9 (19:19):
Absolutely constantly.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
I actually only have sixteen kilometers left today as I
was driving away.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
You've got to get back to where it be over
the West Gate. Now you're on those people that breaks down,
and then you become my problem.

Speaker 10 (19:31):
I haven't broken down since I was sixteen years old.
I'm broke down since I was an l plater, and
I run on empty constantly.

Speaker 9 (19:38):
I get to zero all the.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Time, no way zero zero. The car'sn't go anywhere. You're
conking out.

Speaker 10 (19:44):
No, it's lying to you. I literally get to zero
and I can still make it. I reckon five k's.
I've never cocked out, never even felt.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
Like the Honda has gone. It's not even doing that.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm surprised because the speed that you run that car out.
You know, when I heard Piastre didn't bring the Formula one,
I thought, oh, Katelyn must have been racing this and
it's picked him through it. You have a lead foot
in that car. Honestly, you must burn such she does.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
I will say it again.

Speaker 10 (20:09):
I go at the speed that my body feels.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
As it should, rules, regulations and limits of people like you.
Basically yes, but.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
It's abslutely fine.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
You know, I know what I'm doing. I can see
people in in front of me. I'm safe, I'm aware,
I'm conscious.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
You're okay. It's the rest of us elderly trying to
cross the road.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
I'm in the slipstream constantly.

Speaker 10 (20:31):
That's why i can go on empty fumes, because I'm
just gliding a lot.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
You are fast, furious, Melbourne, give us a call and
lines are up. And now thirteen fifty five twenty two.
I'm looking for stories. Actually that can be a cautionary
warning to people like Pats and Caitlyn and my wife Sarah.
Bad time to conk out. My dad always used to
call it conker out if the car was about to
start that juttering. It does. I saw someone the other
day having to push their car. You don't see it

(20:56):
very often anymore. I don't know if it's because of
modern cars now will actually tell you they break it
down at how many CA's you just had to eyebolt
it years ago? With old cars you don't often see no,
you know, because people then used to get out and
help them push it. I'll help you, Kit and Samaritan. Yes,
you get it again and you put it in gear. Yes,
that's it. Can't you come out?

Speaker 11 (21:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, trying to jump start it go yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
And also on the old days, if you ran out
of fueld, you're don't siphon it from someone else. That's right, literally,
just yest siphoning it out with a bit of hoes,
just sucking it out.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
My dad used to do that too. How do you
get the taste of the fuel? Well, those are Bernard
life skills.

(22:21):
I think it's like people are they get some sort
of weird I would say sick perverted three or from
Christian I run out of fuel in the middle of
Chapel Street at five am. Oh no, dangerous push. Yeah,
you're right, that's when the zombies are ol to push
my car to the side of the road before running
to the servo to buy some fuel to bring back
to the car. Was almost late to a wedding six

(22:42):
hours away. Another time, This second part of this is insane.
Another time, we brought a ute nine hours away from home.
We thought we'd pushed the limits of the tank to
make it to the next town for fuel. Sadly, the
servo was closed and we were stranded in a tiny town.
We had to slipher and fuel from a local lawn mower. Oh,

(23:04):
just to make it to the next town. That's it'd
Stanning Christian. I'm a proud empty tanker, but I reset
my trip odometer every time I fill up, so I
know exactly how many k I have until I'm empty.
Haven't run empty for fourteen years. There very loud and
brown Hi Kate in their leader, Christian, I this is amazing,

(23:28):
Vaughn Christian. I wants to run out of petrol whilst
in a breath test line. Oh can you move your
car forward? I'd love to obviously give you out. Oh

the car. That's incredible, Christian. I'm also an empty tanker.
I love going as long as possible and the mild
rush of exciting you get wondering will I Once I

Mediocre thing, mediocre joy. Maybe a new feature Christian, let's

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Sorry Lawton, Okay, sorry was that Lawson?

Speaker 12 (24:15):
I'm tired. I was sitting on empty with a twenty
five minute driver.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
D oh one, How could you live like this? Lawson?
The stress, the fear, Oh it is, but it's less
for a former Warworth. Yeah, I guess so. But what

You too is my favorite breakfast chain guy. I absolutely
think every car it's only polite that it vaps. Actually
when it makes.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
You all Actually, it should sing to you car. It
should just sing to you, sing a little song. Empty
in my tummy if that went on a loop and
you'd pull over, I'm empty and doesn't stop.

Speaker 12 (25:16):
And I had a car that used to politely tell
me you need to get fuel in the next twenty
five ks or so. I've got a new bow, would
you believe? And it broke down. It didn't tell me
how much fuel that I needed fuel. It didn't be
at me. And I broke down in front of a
fire station. Oh no, it wasn't the worst thing, because

(25:39):
I had to go in and say, excuse me, can
you please help me? Damsel in distress. So eight early firemen.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Break down in front of.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
How you did this on a bet? One like this
has got full tanking. We've told you, We've told you
about this lean. It isn't happening. Please come on now.
No poles have been slided down the drive on.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
This home with me.

Speaker 12 (26:08):
I really wanted to video it.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, and funny story. Thank you very much for sharing.
It really made us laugh. Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
You're welcome here to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Well, we have some exciting show news. I just presume
that no one knew, but everyone knows our news. I'm
just reading a message now from Jess Christian. I've just
heard your big news. Congratulations. How do you all know?
You didn't say it? I haven't said it. Who is
saying my news? Who is out there We're scoundrel right now,
is doing our big reveal. This is really exciting news

(26:44):
for us. And when I mean us, I don't just
mean me and the team on the show. I mean
everyone who listens to the show every day, whether you've
come along recently or you've been there since the early
days over seven years ago. We make the show with
you guys every single day. Like the calls you just had,
the time wasts, We'll have an hour and a half
the misheard lyrics on a Monday. So as much as

(27:04):
it it is a big moment for me and the team,
it's also a really big moment for this city and
the listeners to this show because from January next year
we get to break new ground. Will be the first
ever commercial breakfast show to go live to Australia. I
actually can't believe we get to say these words. I've
been dreaming about this. There hasn't been a day I
haven't thought about this for the last seven years. I

(27:25):
can't believe it's actually going to happen, that we are
going to actually be a radio show that hopefully, and
that's what's in my heart brings Australia together in the morning.
For last seven years, we've woken Melbourne up together, and
now we're going to be waking up the country one
show at a time starting next year. So yes, Adelaide, Perth,
Coast to Coast, Perth to Brisbane and then Sydney. From Melbourne,

(27:49):
this radio show is going live next year and I
couldn't be more excited. It cannot come soon enough. Next year.
I can't believe that we get to continue what we've
been doing for the last seven years. And I just
want to say a big thank you to every single
one of you who's been part of this very, very
wild ride that has been my life for the last
seven years. Because if you hadn't embraced a show, you've

(28:13):
taken it into your homes, into your cars, into your
kitchens and into your hearts, this wouldn't be happening. So
as much as the bosses have allowed this opportunity, it's
you have actually made it happen. So I hope you're
proud for the show. You built the show. It's a
very unique show. There'd be a lot of people that
will say this won't be able to work. Carl and
Jackie O tried to go into Melbourne and you've seen

(28:34):
what's happened. There were two very very different shows. And
I did hear seven years ago that this wasn't going
to work, and the last seven years were showing me.
If you have a dream and you worn't hard enough,
you just never know. Sometimes miracles happen. So that is
our big news. John Moberdrive picked me up this morning
already knew, Jess already knows. Shane in Sydney messes me

(28:56):
an hour ago, going can't wait to meet you next
year in Sydney. How do you all know? I get
the feeding right now Melbourne go and yeah, Christian, we've
read it over the weekend. Jones and Amanda ruins your
reveal party on Friday on Jones and Amanda. When it
comes to the show being so this show is going
to be national from January next year in Sydney. We
are going to be replacing Jones and Amanda. Now, they've

(29:17):
been a legendary radio show for not just Sydney but
for Australia and I think Amanda is one of the
best to ever be on TV in the radio and
I just want to say huge thank you. They'll be
handing over their show they've been doing for a very
very long time to us, and so it's an honor
to be a part of something new on the show
that they've been doing together for a really long time.
And I've got a lovely message from Amanda on Friday

(29:39):
who just simply said, I'm glad the new guy is
you now. I don't think you can be a new
guy at fifty two, but I'm going to run with it, Amanda. Now,
Jones Amanda aren't going to be going anywhere. We get
the National Breakfast Show on that same radio station Gold
across Australia. You get Jones and Amanda on Drive Time
one radio station. You get two great shows. You get
Jones and Amanda on in afternoons and you get us

(30:01):
on the Breakfast Show. Son. That is our big news.
The reason why I'm telling you now really is just
to say thank you. I am really excited. Actually more
important to say thank you to everyone who's been a
big part of the show. Also to say well done
to patsy Rio and the team have been with me
for a very long time. I hope you're already proud
as well. I can't wait for next year. I can't
believe it.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
I can't believe it's actly happening.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, well done, Patsy, Oh thank you mate.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Honestly, never in my wildest dreams, especially in my fifties,
did I think that this would come along. And you're right,
it's thanks to the listeners. And I'm so excited to
see what we can do. And then everyone around Australia
is sharing their seems surreal to say that, sharing their
lives as well and making the show.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
As great, you know, as great at the show as
it is. So I can't wait. I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
And to tell you what, you know, if you love
doing the time Waste, that you really need to get
a lot better this year because suddenly you've got a
few extra cities. How are we going to mark them all?
It's going to take an hour. You've certainly got Sydney, Adelaide,
Perth and Brisbane all testing in for the time Waste
and she's going to get very very busy. But we
can't wait. And of course we can't do without you.
We'll be doing this together we get to ac Australia up.

(31:09):
This will be a show that from our corner of
the dial, like with them, for the last seven years
will be a beacon of joy, positivity and connection. Let's
do this.

the View.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
I'm in the Vietnam War films, you know, and the
grizzled platoons been.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
There for years.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
They've been there all the battles, Caisson and I want
on the new meat. I've forgote College to join the marine.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Did he just describe yourself as new meat?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I think he did. Hey, you know what if it
gets people listening abound Australia, let's put it on the posters.
Thank you very much to Lisa. I started listening to
your show in twenty eighteen when I lived and worked
in Victoria three year and then I've been listening to
show in Northern New South Wales in Cairns for the
last poor four years. In Brisbane. We'll miss confusing my
passages on the way the work with Melbourne Truff Reports

(35:22):
bring on twenty twenty six. Thank you very much, Lisa.
Early on the show we were talking about there's two
types of people in the world. There's the same people
like me that like to drive stress free. Where the
fuel tank is regularly and routinely topped up, it gets
down to a quarter empty. You then fill up at
your nearest convenience. Then are the other psychos who don't

(35:43):
run life like that? And that's my wife, that's Patsy.
They are the empty tankers. And I'm looking for stories
of when you've run out of fuel at a bad time.
What about your mum's funeral at the cemetery? Oh no,
yeah no, this is what happens if you live your
life as an empty tanker. We called the phone in
bad time to run out fuel. That from Gail. I

(36:08):
ran out of f at my mother's funeral at the cemetery.
So what on the way were you leaving? Now? I
need to know more details.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Christian O'Connell show on podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Christian, and I am like you. When that fuel tann
gets down to the final third, you go and fit
it up. But I have some girlfriends like your wife
and pats They called it fuel lotto ever get the
big payout? Though I'm sorry there are times I've been
called by them when they've run out of fuel. Yeah

(36:40):
it's not the lot, so win is it?

Speaker 3 (36:43):
It's living on the edge, That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
It is. I've got a question.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
Does turning the air conditioning off actually say fuel?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Someone told me yes, but is that just one of
those sort of urban myths. It's an old time when
the engine have to work harder. Yeah, exactly more? Yeah?
Is it burning more energy? Aka fuel? But much energy?
Surely not that much? The air conditioner go and shout
into Lockey's little sound booth. You know, he's a petrol head.

(37:14):
He know about stuff like this. I guarantee he will
know about this. I did look it up.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
I don't know any of these words or what they mean.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
What does it say?

Speaker 7 (37:21):
It says the air conditioning system is run by a compressor,
a condenser and evaporator through an expansion valve.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
What runs that the engine? It's going to be coming
off the engine? Yeah? Yeah, and is that going to
save you crucial killing? Listen, guys, we need to know
this before we go live to the country. I don't
want to be waking people up in Adelaide go. Wait,
they don't even know how car works. How did the
cdiot get a national Lucky buzz through my ears?

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Very frustrated it uses fuel?

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Petrol head in there would know, all right, cardson, all right?
So on Friday it was a very good friend of
mine's birthday, John and he is a Formula one megafan.
So I wanted to get him a really good related
Formula one gift, and so it wouldn't have arrived in time,
But I was going to get him a Douner cover. Yeah,

(38:18):
you know, sort of thing a boy would have of
his favorite driver.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Is it for a seven year old boy?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
For a forty nine year old back? No? No, no, no,
he would have loved it.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Does he have a partner, yes.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Wife, Yeah? Why the young kids just have fun? What
about Doner covers, merch ones for adults? He loves Oscar
Piastre good Melbourne kids, robbed, Robbed by Lando yesterday. Imagine
waking up with that. Anyway. Sadly the supplies at Timo
it wasn't going to arrive here. Yeah, no doubt. Well

(38:55):
I did the best of my friend John. Sadly the
ship wasn't going to make it in time. So I
kept looking. Then I saw this thing. Two thousand, two
thousand and five star reviews on Amazon Limited Edition Lego
the series. He's not a child. His favorite driver was
the Great and Senner. This is a Lego McClaren car

(39:17):
that he drove with a little tiny minifigure of and
and Senna, the hair and everything. This is a great gift.
So I wrapped it up and gave it to him
and he was like. His wife was like, oh my god,
Oh my god, I love that. He goes, this is amazing,
but I brought it last week from himself.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
He has it.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Oh, his wife didn't even know. She goes, wait, why
would you buy something like that? What do you say?
It was a great gift to get it. Someone can
buy that for you and it's acceptible. She goes, where
have you hitden it? He was like, at the back
of the shoe, cuvered. Do you want to you say anything?
Of course, you took the mockey out of me.

Speaker 11 (39:52):
So what do we do now?

Speaker 1 (39:54):
So I've got the gift and I'm happy to give
it to somebody. It got me eighty dollars. All I
want to know and return is what have you got
to swap for this limited edition Lego Icon series. It's
and Center's racing car. Okay, what have you got that
you will offer me for that? Because at the moment
John doesn't have a gift something to give. Yes, and

(40:15):
I'm gonna give it straight to John. But the moment
he has no gift, So I'm ad to give you
his gift if you're an F one petrol head who
you know someone is. But I need something back of
around eighty dollars value that I can give to John.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
And are you looking for a gift like a similar
if one thing gift.

Speaker 1 (40:31):

a great gift. I give up. Now see if you've
got anything you're prepared to swap for this Lego McClaren
car with a mini air center.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Christian, just listen to your trying to work out how
it sounds like trying to work out how actually cars work. Yeah,
there was a little bit of that, I'm honest. But
we just work out does it deplete fuel levels if
you have the air conon? It doesn't feel that long
ago the air con was simply the windows poured down
and you wound them down. Yes, And then then you said,

(41:08):
what is the is there even a word for you know,
when you all have the windows down, or even just
one has the window down, and it creates that strange
noise in the car that yes, it does. Is it
a vacuum? It's like that you're on this show with
that laptop there to look at it. Listen sharp in
the act up rio. You're getting complacent after a couple

(41:30):
of months off. You just went on this and then
it looks around like and anyone else here, have a
look at Google windows, the noise that car. I'll tell
you what you don't do? Is this smooth looking around like?
And excuse me? Are the adults in this place, by
the way, there aren't any.

Speaker 6 (41:48):
I was trying to figure out what a vacuum even was.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
And if you wind down one of the two front windows,
it cancels it out only just though you only.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Have to put it down the delicate balance.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
You're right, it is, yeah, Christian great TV show myth
Busters tested this whether using air conditioning or opening car
windows is more fuel efficient. They found that at highway speeds,
air conditioning is more fuel efficient due to the drag
caused by open windows. About the drag coefficient, Oh yeah,

(42:21):
about the drag if you know, you know, at lower speeds,
rolling down the windows maybe slightly more efficient. They discovered
that's Martin In Craigiebird, what have you worked out from
I got a miss these days going on Google for
a bit, like asking Jeeves how quickly chat GPT now
is giving you more bespose charity BT now is like

(42:43):
you've got some sort of butler who offers you stuff
on the plate. The information he required, sir, it was Google,
just like you read it.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
You read it.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
There's eighteen articles of gibberish and then eighty seven of
US sponsored. I think, oh, this is how they get you.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
Yeah, why don't chat GBT too polite? It unnerves me.
My one's always verysch now.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
I like the fate chumming us. I wish I wish
your team members around that. This is a great idea
Christian and knowing you your smash it. It's like some
sicker fan. It's great. Everyone should have one. Anyway, what
have you found out on ancient Google?

Speaker 7 (43:20):
It's caused from an ear pressure imbalance and the phenomena.

Speaker 1 (43:24):

from a you win a car, You win a car.
You know, the next day they're going about. It's like
a speedboat and you get to go twenty hours. Wait,
what where's the car? The reason I'm here austraight where
Americas don't even know where Australia is. How long did
it play? It was an honor for them, it was.

Speaker 7 (51:59):
So she flew all over to Australia and she did
maybe like three or four shows around the country.
