Speaker 2 (00:27):
Good morning, Rio, Hey, guys, Coome Morning, Patty Morning.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Listen guys.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Twenty five percent of yesterday's Charles Just Thinking was about
cheese toasties.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
There's more to go back to.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
I love.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So many emails came through yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I reckon we have spied the numbers of toasties that
were all different places yesterday on all people decided to
make them for lunch or dinner last night. So many minutes,
so we have to do a part two. Pats, how
was your day yesterday?

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Do you think this is David behavior? Because the We're
we love God thought it was I Audie's Got to
Be Dead concert this weekend and her jazz shoes needed replacing.
You know, they grow like the Incredible Hulk at a
rapid rate of nicewear.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
To talk about your teenage stalk from the radio, so
she really appreciate that. So it's not hard enough being
a teenage girl without your mum on the radio saying
you've grown like the Hulk.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
She's just growing so fast I can't keep up to us.
So I had to order her new shoes. And of
course the shop is nowhere near us, so we had
to travel.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Would you wind jazz shoes from it? Whereabe?

Speaker 6 (01:26):
You can't, that's the thing. So we had to travel
into Williamstown. There's a fabulous shop william.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Now that is quite upmarket for your neckla, which isn't it.
Williamstown's the cool park.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
You were married in Williamstown. It's a beautiful spot.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
It is really nice there.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Actually before we did the the six anivers of the show,
the live show last year, Sarah and I had dinner there.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's really nice, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
It's very sweet, it's quaint. So we go in there.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
There's a brilliant shop and of course they didn't have
a size because everyone's having dance concerts and everyone's out
of shoes. So anyway, they arrived right, so I did
a click and collect and they say, look, come back.

Speaker 7 (02:01):
We'll ring you when they're here.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
And that was yesterday, so I got there only there
was not a single park because everyone wanted to shop
in Williamstown yesterday. And I thought, this is really bad,
and I had something else to get to, and I thought,
you know, I wonder they've just opened, they won't be
overly busy. I wonder if I ring ring the shop
and say, hey, listen, if I do a drive.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
By, I don't say it like that. The worst kind
of drive by as well, a jazz drive by.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
We're you going to peck for them.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
With discombobulated trombone sounds.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
I said, look, they know me there. We shopped there
all the time.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
I said, would you mind just like, can you just
run out literally chuck it through the window of the car.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh yeah, And it was such let's just all remember
what it was.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
The weather was like yesterday, hellstones, hell, rain, wind, Patsy,
you sets you out yesterday, coldest day of the year.
Do you mind coming outside with my daughter's jazz shoes?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
And you want to know, is that to even behavior?

Speaker 6 (03:02):
What isn't I was very very busy and she.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Shoes.

Speaker 8 (03:09):
It's literally have you seen the show Dance Moms?

Speaker 9 (03:11):
Yes, Little Sunshine Mom.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
Anyway, she was great.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
She said yeah, hang on a minute, and it was
literally like the fastest exchange that you have ever seen.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
And she literally like.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, she was urging to god, you know, I qb one.

Speaker 9 (03:30):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
She's Tom Brady and Theoes.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
I don't think I actually came to a stop in
the car.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
She helted it. It was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
You can put it off. Why not, I say, passed.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Christian O'Connell Show.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Wolve of the rain has happened yesterday the Helstones and
then the rain overnight and this morning as well.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Is it just me?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Or is this city you have a real funny smell
when it rains.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
Especially in Richmond.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, it's around here sort of almost swampy, swampy dare.
It's actually a bit pooey.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
It is like I don't know if the drains are coming. Yeah, yeah,
the streets are full of turds.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I don't mean the Carl and Jackie o' show,
but there's a there's a smell.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
There's a smell and it's not nice. Honestly, go out
there's some morning pants and give it a big up.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's a bit of a FuG out there.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
So I don't know if you guys have ever done
this where just in a rush to reply to a message,
you accidentally sent the wrong emoji.

Speaker 10 (04:40):
Ei.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
This is yesterday, and unfortunately it was to Sue the Boss. Now,
before we go any further, I just want everyone to
know it wasn't that emoji.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
Oh thank god.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't think i'd be here today if I sent
Sue the Boss that moji. That's not a funny thing
happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's that's hr and rightly, So can I just say
that rightly? So?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
So, Sue sent a nice message during the first hour
the show yesterday about how she was enjoying the show.
I meant to send like a a nice sort of
like the thank you one, and I was rushing because
obviously the show goes very very quickly. There was a
lot going on yesterday, and so I sent a vomit emoji. Ah,
it wasn't until it wasn't until after eleven o'clock yesterday

(05:26):
I went.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I just saw Sue the Boss.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
He's in my phone and Sue the Boss and there
was a vomit emoji with no other.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Words from me.

Speaker 11 (05:34):
So rude.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
It's so rude, aggressed and it was a nice thing
about the show. And all she.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Got back from our Bedford show host, what's the vomit emoji?

Speaker 12 (05:44):
And because the vomit ones kind of makes sense if
you're trying to be rude. If it was something just random.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Saying something nice. Yeah, And I was just like where.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast like.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
The End of Time. Sometimes this radio station.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
The other week we're asking you could you give us
some bread because they only let us have bread every
two weeks.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I'm not even a joker.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
They give us bread every two weeks and now normally
on a Wednesday to Thursday, milk supplies get real low, Yes,
start getting They wasted five minutes a day going through
four different fridges trying to find milk.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Have you seen real? I brought it into the studio.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
There is a hummingbird's beak of milk, and I get
through about five to six cups per show.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know if I'm going to make it through
the show with my tea. That's hard. That is a
hummingbird's beak worth of milk.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
With their stacks of almond and.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
No couches, you can't put those in hot water because they.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh my god, there's nothing worse than that.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You would think that we are working for some kind
of community Outpost radio station wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
You not the city's biggest radio station. Screwg Even ABC
would have more milk than us, think.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Asking this is the bread. We're low on milk. They've
got hand sanitizer. They walked water down to a hand cordial.
I'm pretty sure, I reckon, they're going to be reducing
oxygen levels or we're going to just come in one day.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
And it's just like you expect to bring your own candles.
We're gonna show by candle.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
I reckon.

Speaker 12 (07:20):
They've also turned off, you know, the filtered tap orter, Like, yeah,
it's not cold anymore, so I reckon they're saving.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm pretty sure as well that the lighting around the
station isn't as luminous as it used to be. It's like, Sue,
the boss has got a dimmer switch at home, and
that's what you got that emoji.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I was right.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I called it yesterday, Sue, any who'sy? Yesterday on the show,
Patsy rocked us by saying that when she's making a
toasty she doesn't do butter on the outside.

Speaker 8 (07:54):
Crazy crazy, But actually there were quite.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
A few people saying they don't either, which I don't understand.
And then we were talking about butter dishes. Turns out
a lot of our listeners, it's not just a fancy
English thing, are rocking the butter dish, including Tad listening
to us right now in Darwin.

Speaker 12 (08:10):
How can you have butter outside the fridge?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
You're having milk that is not butter.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Even in a dish, it won't be able to protect
it from the climate of Darwin.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Christian, I'm a dairy lover. Do you mean dairy farmer?

Speaker 6 (08:26):
No, just maybe likes their cheese and butter and milk
and rusty.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well he grew up milking cows by hand.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
Oh wow, I hope.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know, because that feels like a confession. Now everything
in life is context. If it was just I'm a
dairy lover, I love cheese, but the dairy lover then
going into I grew up milking cows by hand, especially
when tand this message goes on to say, so I'm
butter on the inside and out. Maybe we move on, Yeah,
we move on anyway, Cad, Thank you very much. So

(08:58):
many emails that came in yesterday after the show. Tom
Christian hearing you guys just did once to toast He's
got my mouth water and it had to make one
for lunch, ham mature cheddar sliced to my on the
crucial detail butter on the outside. What a game changer.
Thank you for guiding me towards the light with this.
I'm a change man. I never used to put butter
on the outside. Tom happy to show your promised land

(09:20):
like a Moses Peter Krishnos on my way to work yesterday.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Listen to the show. I have a twist on these.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I buy the oversized loaf and make a toasty pie.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
Oh I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, I use a piemaker of this.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
You put so many feelings on the inside, so egg, bacon, tomato, grater, cheese, onion.
The best part is they have handles from the oversized
bread so it's easy to hold. Trust me, this is
a winner.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
What I've got a pie maker? Have you from at
home that I've never opened? I've got it at kmart.
I am happy to bring it in and we try that.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
What is it? What is a piemaker?

Speaker 6 (09:59):
So it's like a sandwich press. Yeah, circular, No, it's
sort of. Well, the slots are and it might have
I think it's got like four or six different actual
indie to a pie holes.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
If you like, and.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
You I sections you mean, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
And then you just put your pastry and you're filling,
and then you put the handle, you know, the lid
down and it cooks it like a sandwich press, but
for pies.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
So I think that's best left to the pros.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I bet you all homemade bikes suck a toasty. You
can do that at home to a reasonable standard, can't you?
But a pie?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think there's so much more to pie making.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
They were bring in COVID. I remember because popping off.

Speaker 12 (10:40):
You actually went to my friend's house and he did
a pie party.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
And Damien.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
After listen to the show this morning the best way
to cook a toasty, I was astonished to return home
from work in the afternoon my daughter was cooking one
in the air fry.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I mean, I love using my air for up and
I didn't know you could do a toasty. My daughter
tells you wants me to tell you if she's adamant.
The only way to get a good combination of crunchy
caramelized bread and gooey cheese is the air fryer. I
had some. I'm not convinced. Give it a go, though, Guys,
that's from and also this email came in this week, Christian,
have you well, I'm your neighbors sort up, I lived

(11:17):
close to the Gold Studios. I had a funny interaction
with you once when you tried to get in my car.

laugh about one. It's best we let keep that between us, Okay.
I don't know how that got Broom.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I don't know if it's the time of the year,
the change of the seasons and now we're properly into winter.
But so many messages that we haven't yet asked for
about their tips for toasties. Christian butter the toasty after
you've cooked it with a sprinkle of salt.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
How much salt we use it?

Speaker 9 (11:51):
It?

any idea what three D printing is. I just say no, no,
but it sounds good.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, but let's look into that. Can we get our
very own merch butter dishes? Christian, I can't believe you
guys get milk at work where we work.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
We're lucky to get hot water. I'm not even joking.
I give you a warning. Now you're going to get
very hungry. Listen to this. These are again we never
asked these. At the end of the show, I.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Could make a cookbook with all your tips and hacks
and recipes for making delicious toasties. Christian can't go wrong
with leftover bolignaise, cheap ass, crappy plastic cheese on top
in a toasty.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It is the best.

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Yeah, there is something about this that Kraft orange.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Cheese, you know, yes, yeah, yeah, I have a little
like a ten pack of those slices and only use
them for when I'm doing burgers. They make but the
best cheese because they just they melt into it. Cannot
you can't scrape it off.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
It's stuck. They're friends for life.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
That yellowy cheese, Alicia, butter on outside, combined with garlic,
salt and deal outside. The sour dough bread, Lorenzo your
choice of feelings. Thank you, Lorenzo. Button on the outside

What's wrong with baked beans?

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Though I'm trying not to dry right now.

Speaker 7 (14:21):
They're very good for you, very high.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I don't doubt that pass, but I don't know what
it is.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
I can't real is it the sauce of the bean
both together.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I just shuddered them at the thought of trying to
look at that sauce and that bean. I'm grimaced even
just putting it a bowl that's had that taint.

Speaker 12 (14:41):
The Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:42):

with a baked bean on a four.

sum puts may on the outside of bread cooks. He
said it makes the toasty amazing. This is from Linda.
Don't toast fry them, button the bed on the outside,
cheese slices and then fry both sides.

makes his toasties like does a batch of them, like
ten of them, calls them down and then freezes them,
puts them in a freezer so he's got like ten

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Show Christian O'Connell's show, Gone Podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Christian O'Connell's show. All right, I've snapped, I'm any human.
Just tons of messages coming in with amazing recipes for toasty.

We then go around like they do Master Show.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yes, we then get to have a little nibble you

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Let's set this up next week, the Toasty Takedown. Right now,
small thing, big joy, sort, big joy.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Wow, we've seen the lights. Christian my name, Christian my nature.
The big G up in the sky, not just the MCG,
the big g, oh doubled g Doug.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Whoa this Shane Sham overnight.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Actually you're listening to the late FM.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Hi small thing, big gospel joy? All right?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
What small thing gives you so much joy?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Peratsy? What's it for you this week? Mate?

Speaker 6 (17:19):
My prayers were answered last night because we have an
upcoming an upcoming careers X by houses so ords is
year eight and we get the email, which is brilliant,
very proactive of the school. But you know, time to
start obviously thinking about subjects for what she may like
to do.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
You would have gone through this.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's very stressful. It's so confused.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
I got the email and I said to Chris, how
is this already happening? Like I just anyway? So I
thought that was last night. And seriously, the thought of
getting out of my pajamas at four point thirty in
the afternoon, getting dressed like a proper adult.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
I'm more concerned. You're in them at four thirty in
the afternoon.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
I'm in them at lunchtime. Soon as I get home,
pajama's gone. What absolutely, jewelry comes off, bra comes off.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
From a lot of stuff, you say. Even though we
might recoil right and go, oh that doesn't sound right,
But I know there's a lot of people that agree
with you, Patsy. I actually think con this occasion there's
no one else unless they're not right. Who's getting to pajamas?

Speaker 7 (18:23):
Because it's like my nighttime.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Remember I get up at two forty five, it's effectively
my night time.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
You're right, Actually, you're right. It's time shifting envy.

Speaker 8 (18:31):
I would love to pajamas.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
There is theater the thought of getting out.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
What about when you've got to get the door for
like deliveries or like the Gatsman turns up.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Yes, I'll go out to them.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
That might look my sort of limit is going to
the mailbox to get the mail in my pajamas. But
anything past the school pickup if I don't get out
of the car, yes, that's okay, done it before.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
But imagine if there was an accident, right and then
to cut you out the car and they're going, oh,
actually leave this person in. They must not have much
of a life. They're in their pajamas. They've had an action.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
At one o seven pm, Boss, I remember I had.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
To go and pick up the Love God from work
one afternoon. It was in the summer before DJs. I
was in a ninety Oh.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
My god, his workmates are going to go. Someone's on
a promise ninety Hang on a minute, he's really looking
after his clients.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
Anyway, there was a booze bus, wasn't there. I got
pulled over.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Of course, you're a day drinker.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
And I had this little chemis on and the coin
of just looked and I said, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 7 (19:35):
You need to understand I'm a shift worker.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's my n Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Sure they built that one a million times. Oh okay,
well you can carry on drunk. Oh you should have
said you're a shift worker.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
Anyway, So I thought that we had to make the
pilgrimage to school last night for this three hourn.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I was about to say, Pats, it's a two or
three hour PowerPoint present.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
It's so complicated, full on and it's like all different stands,
you know, it's a bit like an expo sort of
thing idea. But I thought it was last night and
the weather yesterday, as we know in Melbourne, was just ranted.
And then I just double checked on my phone and
it's next week.

I'm winning. Future me is high fiving present me right now?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
All right?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yesterday on the show how do we get into talking
about sea saws?

Speaker 8 (29:25):
There was a caller for what are the Odds?

Speaker 12 (29:28):
And she she used to see.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
A family playing on a sea saw. She's now married
to the guy that was the kid playing on the
sea saw. Her Now father in law hand built the
sea saw, and I was just saying, you don't see,
sadly anymore, a lot of seesaws in front yards.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Now, what is that?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Do you think it's just like it's not the trend anymore?
Kids are on the devices or is it? Because like
trampolines in the eighties, we we would just get head injuries.
You did not have those safety nexts. You know, if
the thickies got bounced off, that was really what I
call natural selection.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
You weren't going to contribute much to society.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
You're conscious outside the trampoline, whereas now you've got the
high sided nets.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Yes, yeah, very hard to hurt yourself.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
But the sea saw is a renegade, isn't it. Surely
it's still I guess it's not being used much because
it's flipping danger. I only realized this yesterday when I
also said on the show, let's do sea saw week
and give them away to try and bring them back.
And then I was talking to my much smarter than
me eighte year old daughters and I said, you don't
see any remember you, And Ruby says, you used to

(30:36):
play for hours and you see they're not they're not
around Aymo because they're really dangerous.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Someone could get hurt next week on the show.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
So sad to think, due to my eighteen year old
producer Sea saw weeks we.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Can't give away.

Speaker 8 (30:52):
We even did sue the bus, but we couldn't get
it passed.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
The saddest bet. The saddest bet right was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
You know, we're obviously in a very big competitive radio
market here in Melbourne and it's great, it's exciting, but
we're up against shows that giveaway.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Way too much money.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, because they need to, because they've got to buy
the listeners to listen to their substand affair. However, Rio yesterday,
towards the end of the show, when I was going, hey,
you know, let's get let's get a week's worth of
sea salts, right, and he is the kind of high
level producing conversation that RHEO and I have during the show,
and he goes, he goes, oh, I just have a
quick note. Oh yeah, they're und one hundred dollars. Yeah,
we could probably do that.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Oh wow, oh wow, I.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Really am in a big time radio here in Australia. Daddy, Daddy,
let me, just call home, tell my Dad'll be so.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Proud of me.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
We can afford it with the pig.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh, they're saying now the radio station, we can give
away three, not five.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
That was the other thing I was told by Sue.
Did you hear sore in the meeting as you went
you can have three?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah? Okay, so you're saying that we could.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh, you saying we can spend two hundred and seventeen
dollars on the radio show next week.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Thank you so much. But I'm not sure we can
be giving away in good faith.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
We can't be injuring smatching. It's not a good look
for the show.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
However, what I was thinking about is, let's see if
we can construct an old school eighties playground.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Now you go to modern playgrounds. You're right.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
You got the nets on the on the on the trampoline.
You've also got that springy bouncy.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
They've got pet Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
You know if any thick kids falled over, so you
know they go, they go bouncing back up.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Not an day.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
We did not have that pussy kind of flooring. It
was hardcore.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
You land on that on a bare knee, shrapnel you're
picking it out for weeks in your.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Blood, racing up to your wards, your heart, in your archeries.
So if I was going to build from scratch, that's
what we're going to do during the next half an hour.
We're going to build an eighties playground from scratch. So
I'm going to say, the first thing you have to
go on there is the metallic slide. Oh yes, you
mean where the hell basically ceiling yourself the back of

(32:57):
your five midways. You slide down, you're going to be
scraped off with a fish slice.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Third used to get so hot, even in the not
that hot UK, it must have been hell.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
You absolutely sizzling.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Your legs were red and you could even see the
heat mirage coming off in the summer.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
It wasn't like adult gray, it was shiny silver.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Was absolutely like glittering off the slide chef's grill.

Speaker 8 (33:25):
Did you have the onion sacks, Patsy. We used to
have the sort.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Of like onion sack rhyme from It's a phrase from
man's This is literally I can't have that in the playground. Okay,
we're calling the authorities. Someone's got their onion stack out
around The kids got away we know who you are,
your pup.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Actual onion sie to ride down like a Hissian bag
like Ahian no, yeah, no, no, no sex.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
It was just the eighties were like patch andized Nam.
You weren't there, man, you weren't there.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Botanic slide, bare skin, short shots, yes, maximum skin explosure
to a grill.

Speaker 7 (34:06):
And you know, no heights of regulations as well. Some
of those ladders.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Up to the sides were so high, like two stories.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
I all right then, so what are the things need
to be on a very dangerous eighties playground?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Christian connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Hey, good morning, Christian O'Connell's show on Goal twenty to
eight name game as in his back at eight this morning.
Right now, I'm designing an eighties playground? What dangerous things have.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
To be in it?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Can I just point out I'm not actually going to
build this. I've had an email from a concerned listening
excuse me being very irresponsible. I'm not actually going to
get funding and like Shark Tank, high chance of being
sued by parents.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I need a million legal fees.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
All right, So we're taking back to the eighties when
playgrounds were a hell of a lot more dangerous than
they are. Now we are going to build an eighties playground.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
What has to be in there?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
So the moment we started with the metallic slide, third degree.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Burns on a hot summer's day.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Also proper gravel and flints on the floor, and where
there's not that hatchet mud scorched, no soft grass, just
that real dry cat mud or wet mud during the winter.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Just a general unpleasantness wherever you live.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Concrete, shrapnel, flints, like a war zone, whether a kids.
When you think about them, Pats, they were actually it's
a miracle when you of us got out of there.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
It was like an obstacle course, like some sort of
medieval torture.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
The cure design my grumpy adults that hated kids, count
planners that really really didn't like kids.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I thought, we'll screw them up. All right.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
One needs to be there, thank you very much. All
the text foruring in right now. What needs to be
in our eighties playground? Christian, you need the tire swing treehouse, Christian,
what about the Oh my god, the concrete tunnel that
was half buried in the ground always had a bundle
of mudd and water because it was never going to
dry out. You're right, Chris. Great spot about that that

(36:18):
you're right halfbe in the ground. What a joyless thing?
Why the kids want to cry? Do that making themselves ill?
Drinking pond water? Christian? Together with the you write the
metallic slides of the ones made of no longer induce
plastic to give you friction burns as opposed to the heap.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
Yes, the study Christian.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
What about the poison soaked slimy green when wet in winter?
Treated pine two story four?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Minimal raining, so collar bone breaks were a common occurrence.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Don't worry. And there's another kid playing over there. We've
got spares, Matthew. Very funny.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Let's take some course, Vanessa. Welcome to the show. Hello,
hello Vanessa. So what has to be in our eighties?
Dangerous playground?

Speaker 10 (37:03):
Those big circle things that you used the saint on
and hold on to you and someone will run around
the outside and go around really class?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yes are we talking about here? Is this a merry
go round?

Speaker 12 (37:15):
It's sort of like like a medieval merry go round?

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Like everyone stands on the edge of it.

Speaker 12 (37:20):
Yes, elevated, hold onto the bar, yes, and then you
put your.

Speaker 8 (37:24):
Life in some idiot's hair.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Always have a local thukis someone's older.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Brother, wasn't it?

Speaker 8 (37:29):
Who run and sprint around as fast and generate as much?

Speaker 1 (37:33):
And basically it was like hanging on for dear life.
You'd either get flow off and good luck because you've
been landing on either dry cakey mud or shrapnel, or
you just at the end wabbled off and throw up
the leap of faith off the thing who needed devices?

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Then astronaut spinning the centrifuge.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Yes, that's the right. Perhaps it was NASA training we
were doing back in the day. Thank you very much
to Vanessa. Let's got to Chris here, Morning, Chris, Morning, Chris.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
What has to be in our dangerous eighties playground?

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh, we've got uh Shane because you sound like a
real bunch of loves. Actually, for sure, get that one back,
don't Simon, Good morning team.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
This is more like a supersize with us.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Supersized with us, Simon, what has to be in our
aces playground?

Speaker 11 (38:29):
I remember there used to be this egg pod type thing.
You'd climb in there these seats on either side of
this steering wheel and you turn the steering wheel and
the egg would spin, yes, and you try and spin
it fast as you can, of course, until your head
almost explodes.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I remember as well.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
We used to have a playground right at the local
park where they had like old farmers tractor tize. So
you were you were, you were taking turns, you'd put
yourself inside it and the mates would just roll you
and roll you deep. The unpeasant You're like tramped in there, guy,
sometimes be throwing up on yourself as rotating and.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Spinning into your own vomit.

Speaker 8 (39:13):
Getting dizzy was just the height of fun.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Thing you do.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I was going through some photurs the other day, trying
to put together a slideshow for my daughter's twenty first
in a couple of weeks time, and I saw a
video of my two daughters holding hands and rolling down
a bank together. Jim used to lie their sort of
head to head and hold hands and then roll down
almost like a combine a human gun combine harvestuff. And
then you're right just so giddy, giggling in that yet

(39:40):
feeling slightly faint. All right, what has to be in
our dangerous eighties playground?

Speaker 4 (39:46):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone podcast.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
To take it back to the eighties, we're trying to
put together the ultimate very unsafe eighties playground, way before
health and safety. What needs to be there, Christian, Like
you and Pats Child of the eighties, you also forgot.
It's not just the gravel and the shrapnel. It's that
teenagers used to wa drink there in the evening so
they'd be broken glass.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
I got a glaring air.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
I've forgot about the he had sort of broken glass
as well as the shrapnel and the gravel. And then
also way before leash and off leash stop parts errant.
We used to call them brown land mines dopples, and
you'd always have some psycho kid that would get some
dog poo in the end of a stick, start flinging it.
Jim of that down there, Christian. What about the six

(40:35):
foot long plank swing. Oh yeah, sure it was like
a canoe, wasn't it of danger?

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Christian?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Swings that had four meters of heavy industrial chain.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Right, they're not like that anymore, Christian.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Need the slightly rusted monkey bars, We're just the gravel underneath.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Christian.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You need to have a roundabout along with peeling paint,
metal frame with a slight wobble. Christian, that ring I
think you were just talking about with the caller. We
know it as the Wizzy Dizzy. You get it done.
You sure on a matter peak in a way, Tracy,
Thank you very much. The metallic climbing frame that was
at least two stories high. You're way too high. What
they think you're chucking kids up there with no sides?

(41:22):
Metallic seesaw? Yes, Christian, you're forgetting. You also need to
do at the end of the slide. You always had
to dig out a hole at the bottom of the
slide and fill it with muddy water.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It was always there all year round. You're right. Hole
that was never ever.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Going to get dried up ever, meta metallic rocket ship.
You got yourself up there, You can get yourself down.
No mum was ever coming to save you. I haven't
heard that phrase in a long time. You got yourself
up there, get yourself down. You work it out, silly boy, Christian.

(42:01):
We did real hardcore playgrounds in Geelong. I'm talking four
story slides. We also had a twelve person a sea saw. Wow, Christian,
look it up, Seagull Paddock, Geelong. I'm getting on it now, Martin,
thank you very much. Let's take some calls here. Thank
you very much. A huge response today to our eighties

(42:21):
playground we're putting together, Karen. Welcome to the show. Hi guys, Karen,
what has to be in an eighties playground?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Mate?

Speaker 14 (42:28):
Well, I'm a victim of an eighties playground. Actually broke
my arm on a flying fox. But what I wanted
to mention was the that was like a horse on
a spring and then you'd sit on it and someone
would pull it back and let you go like a slingshot.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yes, oh my god, what were they thinking giving us?
Basically the whole thing was like medieval torture devices. But
that's like a rudimentary catapult basically with a small child on.

Speaker 8 (42:53):
It, and always a groin height.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
You're right, groin height and the spring way too powerful
for kids to be in charge of it.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Karen. That's a great one. Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
Have a great day, you two.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Thanks by Joe. Good morning.

Speaker 10 (43:11):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Hazard lights are on, Joe. Let's go.

Speaker 8 (43:15):
Y.

Speaker 10 (43:15):
We had metal chain bridges.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yes, yes, I remember those. Yeah, really really wobbling, dangerous
to navigate, weren't they.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, a cool will workout, Joe. Thank you very much
for corn. Let's go to Tania. Easy, easy with that
trap door and then we're talking about dangerous, but there's
some dangerous getting the corners on and off today, Tanya,
good morning, Hi, how are you? I'm good, Tanya. Have
you having a good week so far? What has to
be on our eighties playground, TANIAH.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
Definitely a pyramid climbing frame with one hundred kids at
the bottom trying to shake it so that the kid
at the top is precariously hanging on.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
This is where they got the idea for hunger games.
You're right, you're right.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
No one trained us, but you just, somehow just knew
that game was all about shaking that kid off at
the top, and at the top was quite high and
the land was not the bouncy stuff. You're lucky if
you were cushioned by a dog poo, broken glass or gravel.

Speaker 12 (44:21):
And amazing how all the kids can just coordinate so
quickly like Lord.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Of the Flies level stuff. That is all right. I
love the caller. We had two callers ago just now.
She said she was a playground victim, and let's take
calls during the next half an hour. Who had who's
injured themselves in an eighties playground. It's like a batch
of honor, to be honest, isn't it your wal would own.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
It, Christian O'Connell Show Gone podcast.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Thank you very much all the suggestions what needs to
be on our eighties dangerous playground? Karen called us ten
minutes ago. She said, Christian, I'm a victim of an
eighties playground. I want to speak to other fellow victims,
survivors of eighties playgrounds.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Tell us about your injury. Own it.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Good on into Higo on his way into the station,
back on for after one o'clock today, Christian. On a
week when my in primary school that I didn't see
another kid turn up with her arm in plaster or
leg and plaster due to an accident in our school ground.
The playgrounds, monkey bars, the climbing forts, the rocket slide,
plaster everywhere. It was like it was like a scene
out of Platoon exactly. That's exactly how it was. Thank

(45:29):
you very much. Some of these stories are just wild,
and a lot of you are telling me. Go online
and look at Adelaide, Geelong, all these they're like something
out scenes out the movie Saw Yes Yes, Christian, jump
on YouTube check out the Monash playground in South Australia.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Rio just showed it to me.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
This place looks like a place where parents sent the
kids they didn't like and they didn't want to come.

Speaker 8 (45:55):
It's an all metal playground.

Speaker 12 (45:57):
And the size you wouldn't You won't believe me when
I say it's like at least seven or eight minutes
at all.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
No, No, no, it is.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yes, it's insane, and it's so sort of like just
sort of patched.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Yes, it could be like the Utah Deserts. You know
they go and do test rocket facilities. Do you let
kids fall on that?

Speaker 8 (46:15):
An army training camp?

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Christian?

Speaker 2 (46:17):
What about the scary clown swing? Oh my god, I've
forgotten about that. Yeah, all right, let's take some calls
and victims of playgrounds.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Oh my god, you poor thing.

Speaker 11 (46:35):
What happened for five years old?

Speaker 14 (46:39):
You remember the wooden climbing frames sort of triangles you
climb up the top, climb down.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
That's sort of.

Speaker 14 (46:47):
Like monkey bars, but you couldn't use them as monkey bars.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah, the wood They would even have it like American
Ninja or anything like that. Survivor, it deemed too dangerous.

Speaker 11 (46:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (46:57):
I was sitting on top of the sort of resembled
monkey bars and I squeezed between the two pieces of
wood and riched my eyelid.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Yeah, those monkey bars claimed a lot of us, got
of good kids. Good kids got claimed by the monkey
bar gods.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (47:54):
Well, I was ten years old and I think I
was trying to qualify as an Olympic gymnast. And I
was laying over the top, like you know, three stories up,
and I went to lean underneath and do a maneuver
caaled waterfall, and I slipped and I ended up landing

(48:14):
on the ground with my wrist underneath me snapped into.

Speaker 11 (48:17):
Oh no oh.

Speaker 10 (48:19):
Yes, I was one of those kids on the weekly
arrival at school with a plaster on there.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah, yeah, but I was just get so jealous those
kids with the plaster cast because the school would sign it.

Speaker 8 (48:31):
Yeah, everyone goes around then they get.

Thanks. It's not me, it was actually my sister.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
What happened to your sister?

Speaker 15 (48:57):
Well, I was at high school and the teacher was
actually trying to teach her how to use the massive
big tramplained.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Do you remember those?

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah, yeah, the metallic exposed rusty springs, no no padding,
that was it.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
You're on your own. Oh.

Speaker 15 (49:11):
The teacher was trying to show her how to actually
come off, and she was trying to be a smart Alex.
So as she rolled over to come off, she bit
through a tongue. You could see through the tongue there
was a hole in the middle you could actually see
the other.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Like a tongue donut.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
So she had skitters and she couldn't talk for six weeks.
Had to carry red a little whiteboard and a notepad.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
That's a tough time for six weeks, for a long time.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
It's funny now I don't know, Oh, I think it was.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
She still got a little scar there.
