Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything dead.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good morning, Patsy, Morning, Good morning Jackie Boy. Good to
see you in the studio, Sir, I say no more,
but good to see in the studio. Good to see
you in your studio. You look a bit lighter all
right now, Patsy, you are Monday winner or loser.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I'm definitely a loser with a big capital L on
my forehead. Yesterday I I did one of the worst
things that you can do when you're weaving in and
out of a car park, when you're walking.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
I had a package.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
You're King Tesla's again, wat, she's yours. She's out there
every day, just King Tesla's. No.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I had a box that I just picked up at
the post office. It was so big I couldn't say
over the top of.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Your mummy, asking if it's appropriate here what was in
the box? Didn't even a box of clothes?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Please, good sir, my latest daughter from city Shake. I
seem to have a weekly order my husband things.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
But anyway, I couldn't say past the box and.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
How much clothes did you?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Four seasons in one box? Four seasons in one We are.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
In a new season boys, and that means I.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Have noticed on certain team members, producer Kate and in
fact Rio as well. You know they're tone matching. I
know they're friends and producers, but look they've got all
time and all tones. There's a little bit of light
browns coming through in some creams as the leaves change
and fall.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Anyway, I had to look around the side of the
box to navigate to the boot.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Of mic Ho do you constructed a makeshift periscope? I
should have.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I really should have because I hit my right knee,
which is my dodgy knie.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh is your bad gammy one, isn't it? That's where
you normally, like when you do a takedown or something,
you normally crunch their face into that right knee. You
know thousands of those face smashes.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
No, I really bummed my nailup.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
When I was a kid, I fell off my bike
and got like fifteen stitches in my right knee.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh my god, right on the kneecap.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So have you got one of those? Because the way
they did stitching back in the eighties was pretty bad.
So have you got one of those sort of visible
worm scars?

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Anyone who the eighties if you need stitches, you've got
a worm sky. Yeah. These days it's all micro they
glue it together, they barely use it. Yeah, it's like
no nails for skin. I know, yeah, they's put that
glue on there. But yeah, in the eighties this.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Was full on.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I can still remember doctor Wakefield with the needle and
thread had to get a technicis.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
From an actual properly Stowe kit.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Anyway, A whacked my kneecap on someone's toe bar.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
God, yeah, really hurt.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
And I couldn't help like swearing out aloud because it
really hurt.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
I was annoyed that I didn't imagine.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
If you saw that, because all you're going to see
really is is a box with legs swearing goes that
AI is it one of these prototype robots. It's like
and deliveries.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
It's like when you s w toe you forget how
painful it is when you hit the happen to each.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Go bars are horrendous day.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I actually think unless you are towing something, unless you've
got a trailer on it or a caravan, they should
be barred from suburban shopping center car parks.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It should have some sort of housing for it like
Marshmellow or a MARSI parents something, bounce off it.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes, so yes, I'm a loser.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
All right, So when we come back then Jack and
I would tell us where were yesterday for us. So
every Tuesday on the show we ask you whether you're
on Monday winner or loser, how was your day yesterday?
Your Monday winner or loser? Let me know.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Good Morning to David. Apparently the law you can only
have the towbar out on display if you're towing something.
But they're like permanent there. It's not like a little
button to retract it, like you get on a vacuum.
They should be should be actually that would be that
should have been invented, but it's too late. They're permanently there.
Apparently that David signs off in his own sentence, that

(04:05):
is the law. If I could design my own TV
show for me to star on, it be called that
is the law, where I be Detective Law. So every
episode someone would who I'd helped out would go who
is that guy? And they would go that is the law,
and they go, sorry, no, DC Law, Detective Law missed
the law in law yeah, yeah, but it's actually so

(04:27):
that's how the show premise works. That is the law.
He's Detective Law, and then I look at the camera
and go, I'm Detective Law. Just to avoid any confusion
as the credit fraud.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
And do you do small scale stuff like tobars on cars?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's no, it's all petty crimes. But actually that has
a big difference because if I'd have been there, Pats
and I left to your age yesterday with your bung
knee and stuff like that, you would have been very
grateful to Detective Law.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Absolutely, at least you could have kicked it or something
for me in you know.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
What are you from?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Breaks?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Self action?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Jackiet, you sis a first kind of like pointless activity
with that bet this a learning.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Triple zero made me feel so self satisfyed satisfied though,
because it really.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Hurt Jackie boy. You Monday winner or loser.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
I'm losing as well. After a weekend of hearing nothing
but my son play the harmonica, which was bad enough.
Now I've got a new ear worm in my head.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I have listened to this then, so this is the
the next Bob Dylan that Jack's racing. Oh god, what
song are you playing. I love that. You know what?
There is an act of defiance. Find out, my George,
is that that age? I'm not playing any song. It's

(05:57):
so hard every day.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
So I was gifted yesterday by you as we went
through famous songs with harmonica in it, Pitbull and Kesher
and the song Timber, which starts with a harmonica.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
One of the greatest collaps in life. Huhay, this this
bit here became. An earworm is something which you suddenly
start singing and you didn't ask for it. It's like
an involuntary thing in your head. This all day yesterday Timber.

(06:32):
I saw my daughter, Yes, what are you singing? And
I played the song? She went, can you send me that?
It's brilliant, a really annoyingly catchy song, Timber. It's like
a being hypnotized wherever it was. I went for a
walk at sunset yesterday with my dog. There was an
on the beach and this fund myself mumbling Timber, and
I was like, leave my head Pitbull.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
It's hard to win the song. You actually don't know
the lyrics to it, and that's only byelling Timber.

Speaker 8 (06:58):
This bit.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
But what a harmonica solo? Right? Oh my god, and
this is Bob Dylan, who was uncredited with Keisha and
the modern Bob Dylan, mister worldwide.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
You know, and ironically, Pitbull is one of my wife's
favorite artists.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Get this right. You know, I love the broadcaster Howard Stern.
He wants I want to listen because I thought, well,
if Howard likes him, this must be a good guess
to I listened to an hour and a half interview
Stern did with pit Bull, and I swear to god,
it's the dullest hour and a half of my life.
I thought, well, Stern is in this guy. Okay, it's
not my it's not my current, it's not it's not

(07:45):
Springsteen introspective, it's pit mister world wide, Howard. The way
that Howard was talking to them as if he had
one like Shakespeare, and there was one. The only thing,
you know something you just remember one thing during COVID,
you know, Pitbull was word that he wouldn't be able
to be Pitbull, and by that not express himself through music.

(08:09):
Can't believe stayed with me the words of music, and
so he couldn't get to his multimillion dollar studio somewhere
else in America because all the planes were and the
world of like please Pitbull, please get back in some
kind of makes your studio. So he turned his bedroom
into a studio by dragging the mattress off the bed
and putting it on the window.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's what I did.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
So that's the only thing I know about it. So yeah,
this is this is Oh my god, this radio station
needs to start playing timber watch the ratings rise.

Speaker 8 (08:43):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Have you Tuesday? On the show, we'd have to ask
you you, Yeah, how was your Monday? Are your Monday
winner or loser? I'm a Monday winner. Today saw my
twenty year old daughter. She came home unexpected to have
dinner with my wife and I. And this is a treat. Now, Okay,
they come back, they come out like boomerangs. And so
my daughter and I we cooked together. My wife from
entering is in a new chapter of her life. She's

(09:07):
gone back to college. She's at university and she's at
the Trope. She's doing a master's degree. And so it
means that right now I've lost my wife to studying
and books. Yesterday, of course Mate came around. It was
so cute, like a couple of Year twelve was and
they were like their laptop saying, I don't understand this bit.
Do you understand this bit? And I've got to say
I was eavesdropping. You were just spied on your own

(09:30):
partner sometimes up to something and they don't do not Chrissy,
can you just not be around or something? So she's
hitting the book. So I was doing dinner yesterday, so
my twenty old daughter and I were cooking together, and
that was that's just so much fun. I love cooking,
commdicating we were making yesterday, I bought something called I've
never had it in my life, but it was a
chicken that I just had to shove in the oven.
It was called a Tuscan chicken. So it was pre

(09:52):
spiced to shove it in the in the oven for
forty five minutes, and I noticed my wife said, are
you right to take care of I say, yeah, it's
and I've got those who hit the books, okay. And
then she said, please, also, can you make a salad?
And I was, no, one's grateful for a salad that
you've made.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
I just have a Tuskan chicken.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
In the middle of the time, I was going to
have some particatar and a sauce and that's a really
nice dinner. Okay. But anyway, so I was I saw
that we had some costs letters, and so I found
myself googling zesty costs, lettuce salad recipes and guys, I've

(10:32):
got to say, I made my anythink I've only ever
made about three salads in my lifetime.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Why was that watery? Remember you made it watery? Salad?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
So water? I made improvise in the kitchen. I'm more
jazz than classical arrangements. I made a salad. The kids
still talk about it now right. One of their friends
was around and my kids were, God, this is disgusting.
And this kid went, what's in this? Blueberries? Olive oil
and kettle chips.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
Let's cheese, right, and then may he's on top salt
and pepper again if you, if you've got a pen,
I'll put this up online on our Facebook page because
you're want to make this basically juicy blueberry mulch.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It was all runny and just horrible soggy. That's it.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Kind of sell it a child.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Around what quite a few people said, like a child
might do? All right? So then I made this. I
found the salad recipe yesterday so good. People had seconds
this salad so good. I made the leftover so this morning,
sooner today's show is done, I've got a nice leftover
chicken Tuscan chicken salad recipe. All right, guys, cost Lettuce
also had lemon, two lemons juiced, and the zest of

(11:43):
those lemons. Okay, another google on Churt GBT what is
lemon zest?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
So you know, you get the rind and you only the.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yellow bit, not the white. That's it. And you've got
to get a very fine greater to do there. Okay,
Then you add olive oil. Then he had the salt
and pepper. But he's a game changer. A cup of
grated parmesan. Oh yeah, toss altogether with that lemon, that
parmesan and that olive or and the salt and pepper.
Oh my god, that is a great ass salad.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
See what you can do with basic ingredients rather than
throwing blueberries, kettle chips.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Anything from the pantry.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Basically, tonight, I'm actually going to google zesty recipes involving blueberries.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Christian Condors Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
After hearing Jack's three ons on Gordon, well, I won't say, plain,
he's using a harmonica. What do we think are the
worst sounding instruments when someone's inexperienced in the art of them.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
That one is hard to be for me at the moment.
Make any other instrument at the moment. After now almost
one hundred hours since.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Once a kid knows that you don't like something, they
have an instrument of torture. It's not an instrument of pleasure.
Now he knows that it's writing you up. That he
will just be doing that even more now.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
And I wonder, Harness, he's creativity because.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You jammed together. You want him to be a buddy
musician like you can be in a band.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
But then sometimes like oh not again.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Hey, but you know what, I'm sure when little Jackie
started playing the guitar that little Jackie didn't sound as
perfect as he does now. I'm sure your parent, I
don't know if you've heard him recently, gave the graceive Hendrix.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is he with it?

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Everyone has to start somewhere.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
He didn't have a King Richard in his life, did he?

Speaker 5 (13:25):
But the guitar is less offensive and less harsh on
the end?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I agree, Yeah, it is that this is the notes
is shrills. What do you think is the worst musical
instrument pantsy, Well, I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I hold my beer jack because remember Audrey used to
learn the violin.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
This is what we had.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
This is worse. I'm sorry, this is far worse, isn't it.
Oh yeah, yeah, one of my daughters started to go
through violences and you feel quite worthy as a parent
that your Rainy some sort of prodigy, right, and then
you realize, after the sort of fifth lesson, that you're

(14:04):
forking out a lot of good money for like this
kid ain't going to be joining the role fin I'm
on like orchestra, all right. I remember just snapping one
afternoon when I was trying to do some work and
there was this kind of noise piercing my scuve and
I just I'm up. It still gets brought up now,
you know, just so many good stuff as a dan,
years and years, and that they always remember your worst moments.

(14:25):
When that rare time about three times and went as
long was it going to go out? I think it
was just a primal scream. It wasn't even at the kids.
It was just too whatever, gods are out there, how
much longer must I take this confensating noise.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
And this just gets worse and worse actually gets up
for it.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, oh, they start going through.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
The so good when you've been up since three a year.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
In the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Also, I would say one of the all time worst ones.
It is the humble corder that and like dribbling into
it as well. It's just that this sound of the
recorder ballian instrument. Yeah, when over the next couple of years,
you'll have to go to some musical assemblies, right, and

(15:17):
you you better start practicing that face because you can't
turn up with that post face we see when we know, well,
when you don't like something, you have to be grinning
and it's real hard. No, no, no, but it will
test you. Start practicing that face right now. Okay, get
in front of the mirror because you have to say this.
Oh bless these young tackers, these little rippers as they

(15:38):
blow and sort of wheeze into various instruments a whole
there'd be like twenty kids blowing on these like an
hour and at the ends you're meant, between every song,
oh my, oh my god, that's so good. All right,
what do you think of the worst musical instruments?

Speaker 8 (15:54):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Good morning, it's to Christian O'Connell show, but musical instruments
to learn Christian My daughter was learning the flute. Oh
wow again, what are these woodwind instruments? Yeah, it's the
woodwind section, isn't it? You know? Unforgiving for the amateur
and anyone around that amateur was my daughter was the flute.

(16:18):
At least that's what I was paying for. It sounded
like cat's screaming in a room for three awful musts.
She she had before she lost it on the school bus.
Sadly brackets. Gladly it was never found. That's from Mary.
Was it lost to it as you just been it?
My younger sister, My younger sister, Jomie Crazy learns to

(16:40):
play ode to Joy on her table MIDI keyboard, over
and over and over and over and over. I don't
think she'd learned any other song. I gotta be honest.
Anyone actually know what Joy is? How's it go? Oh?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
What is it? Bump bump bump bump bum.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
No, I don't know. I went off somewhere else. I
was just doing like a little bit a noodling at.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
The side improviser one of the most famous classical songs of.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
All time, Lucky, can you get some of to join
put it on drop swing please? I need to be
familiarized last week. What was it him? When we talked
about last week week at the moment him was a
coming to us. They're going to get confused with the
Christian of the show. There's now a rival to the
late F. M.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Joy Is from Symphony number nine by.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
My God nine four one four one o four three
Worst musical Instruments to learn. Good morning, Meg, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
Good morning Christian. How are you.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm good Meg, So tell me your story.

Speaker 10 (17:48):
My son was in a back grade two. He obviously
the whole school.

Speaker 9 (17:52):
Thing you learn, the recorder. He would just run around
just blowing into it.

Speaker 10 (17:56):
The like no songs, no tunes, nothing, just an annoying kid.
And he took it to school and apparently he would
sit in school and just blow on a doll during class.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
The teacher's scent it home.

Speaker 10 (18:09):
In pieces, take to a piece of paper saying Joel
is never to play this again.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
An intervention a recorder that is incredible. In my mind.
When you say in pieces, I means someone stamps on it.
Some angry teachers snapped.

Speaker 9 (18:28):
I think it was in three pieces. The reporter, you
could break it into three pieces.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, med, great story, Thank you very much for
calling the showmate, no problem.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Great day.

Speaker 8 (18:37):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
We're talking about kids learning musical instruments and the noise,
the pain. Christian. My father said to me, I could
learn to play any musical instrument I wanted, as long
as I just plug the headphones in. Ironically, I ended
up playing the church organ to practice at over one
of those. So she got one in the backyard or something.
The massive, those big old pipes on them and stuff
like that.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
Didn't head.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Christian in brackets center or a drum kit for my
now eight year old a couple of years ago, and
she had on a Christmas list for years. When she
plays it, it is awful. She refused to have any lessons.
Come on, come on, you've got to meet us halfway. Kids,
She refused to have any less It's like animal from
them up. It's just banging the skins. It was pure torture.

(19:26):
Then the ten year old and three year old all
yell at her to stop. It's so bad. So I
have two kids screaming, and the other kid and a
drum kit trying to match the screams to the other
two kids. It's enough to plunge a perry, menopausal woman
of three into further insanity. Cassie, we hear your paying.
That is awful Christian. Back in the eighties, it was

(19:46):
a different time. My brother bought a violin home from
school to learn. This went on for a couple of years,
and it gradually got on my mum's nerves. She was
a shift worker, did two weeks of nights, two weeks
of date. So when one day she was sleeping in
the afternoon, just got a bed, picked up the violin,
opened the front door, threw it out, and then stamped
on it. End of Vioey. All right, let's do a

(20:10):
late to the party Late Late's La party is your
home on this show for your emails. Often during the
show you're too busy to actually get involved with the show,
but you still want to have You'll say it's called
lates La Party. It can be weeks, months, even years later.
Catching up with all the old shows on the podcast

(20:32):
of the almost last seven years. You can find them
on the free iHeart platform. First email today from Late
to the Party comes from Jane Christian. In January, I
was at the Australian Open. My friend went to the
toilet and a man was sitting beside me and his
name was Bobby and he was American. We got chatting
and I found it he's been living here for five years.
But he said, I doesn't understand footy AFL. I told he, look,

(20:54):
you actually need to go with someone who can answer
your questions real time, long story shot. I said, do
you know what I'll take you?

Speaker 5 (21:00):
That's a huge favour.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Finally, Friday night, just gone, we went to the Collinwood game.
He bought his brother in law fresh from the USA,
with zero clues about AFL, neither of them. They loved it.
Lots of questions. This was me in my early days
of trying to work out this mysterious game. Who are
the people in Purple? They bring out the water? Can
they change the direction of a goal attempt and tap
it through with their hands? No? How long is the MTG?

(21:26):
How far are they running a game? My friend and
I dick them out in Collinwood scarfs. They've become instant fans.
They wanted all the march. The next day, Bobby texted
me to say they had an amazing time. I just
want to share how love it was to share our
great game with them. They now become AFL fans. That's
from Jane. That's a love email. And good only Jane

(21:46):
for doing that as well. And you're right, anyone who's
who moves this country and Melbourne tries to learn about
the game, you can't do it on TV. I remember
going to so many games and just being I must
have been such a pain in the backside to people
I didn't even know next to me, going why why
is that happening? And then you'd hear this a lot.
I don't need to worry about that.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Bit, wasn't Andy Lee, one of your early chaperone.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Tried to get me to bear a Blues fan, and uh,
this is in twenty seventeen, the year before we actually
decided to move here, And all I remember is just
how Andy's like an effervescent personalities and he's a lovely,
joyous man. After that Blues game they'd lost, I didn't
realize they spoiler alert they normally do. There was a
change in Lee and whatever this team is, I will

(22:29):
not be found the Blues. It was an early lesson,
but I remember even Andy getting slightly irritated by the
third quarter of this, and he went just just watch
it for a bit, talking the words of what when
used now to stop talking? Bomb Christian. I was listening
to your Charle Walla back and he spoke about an
uber driver called ooh fuck, Yeah, I did this, this

(22:51):
almost semi mystical uber driver. I've got started again talking
to because I noticed that on his on his name
it was a spout u F and he told me
it's a Turkish name. But I had this one of
the most incredible conversations with a stranger ever had in
my life. Rio, a couple of weeks ago, comes bounding
into the studio producer Rio and said, oh my god,
I got in an Uber and it was uh fuck

(23:12):
and Rio, it's no word of a lie. It's a
spiritual encounter.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
He is a very deep thinker. I expect that from
your Uber drimas necessarily.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Anyway, this email Kate, she's been blessed by the presidence
of our friend Ufuk Christian. I think I live in Hampton,
the same as you, and I was driven to the
airport three days ago by UFUK. The whole trip, I
was engrossed in his interesting dialogue, so much so when
I arrived at the airport, I was disappointed to reach
my destination on departing. It was only then that I

(23:42):
asked his name and he applied uhfuck, and I went,
oh my god. You have legend status on Old FM
and Christian's Breakfast show. Christian, you need to ask your audience,
have any other be been blessed by the presidence of
uh fuck? You need to go and interview him whilst
he's driving around. This is a good idea. I'm going
to reach out to do you know what rio come

(24:02):
with me. You can record it. I need to I
need to write, get this testimony.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
And you know what else? We need to give him
a sticker on his Dashboarders says, as heard on Gold
one oh four point three.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Let's do this. Ooh fuck. If you can hear my words,
reach out please. If you got an email for the
show about absolutely anything, It's called Latesla Party Christian at
Christian O'Connell dot com.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Today you Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
If you have any more stories about mum rage the
idea of a mum throwing a violin out of a
house and stamping on it is It's all I need
in the world today. Mum range is funny. If there's
any source up mum's destroying stuff nine four three. Yesterday
I was out walking my dog and I saw that
there was a good old school post of someone with

(24:48):
a missing pet right and my heart went out to them.
And they were offering a reward and had the little
tear strips, you know, the phone number. Good to stay
seeing this modern digital increasingly AI age. Still at the
supermarkets there's guitar lessons being off and you've got the
little tear strip with the phone.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Numbers you have like a QR code on them now
if you wanted to.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, so they were. They were offering a reward or
for trying to relocate this missing pemp and it got
me thinking, I'd love to know has anyone ever claimed
a reward? Because this system must have worked because it's
still being used, isn't it all over the world for
missing pets, people offering rewards. Has anyone ever claimed a reward?
Because I think that's the phrasing, is that you claim

(25:30):
a reward? Do you receive it or do you claim
I claim my reward or they say to claim your reward.
So if anyone's got a story about claiming a reward
nine four one four one oh four three. A couple
of years ago in the UK, before I moved here,
I was out one Sunday and I saw there was
a beautiful labrador just wandering around right, and it had
a little it's had his name and his address on it. Right,

(25:52):
And I had my two dogs with me at the time,
And so suddenly I had three dogs, two of them
big and another one small. So I'm now like a
wrangler and I'll realize this other dog, Liz. But Liza,
it's a good ten minute drive to relocate this other dog,
and I'll have to go back to my house for dogs.
My wife was my wife said to me, because we
were talking abou possibly getting another dog. My wife, friend,

(26:14):
don't tell me just bought that dog. I went, Why
did I jack in the bean store? And I just
been in the market an entire dog. It's only a puppy.
It's like it was a real old looking labrador, you know,
you know when they have like gray eyebrows, they just
look mottled like an olderly old man. He's just wondering
the neighborhood and like, are you last? And he's a
beautiful dog. I know, I haven't just bought an entire

(26:36):
big dog. It's like twelve years old or something. I went, now,
I'm going to go and drive it to the to
the people that they'll be black clouded to get in back.
So anyway, as I go to drive to this house,
and as I'm approaching this really long driveway, I realized
that these people are loaded. It was a slightly scaled
down version of down to and Abbey. I was like,
what kind of I have to be honest, bad thoughts?

(26:58):
What I ain't going to be lavish with cash? I
bet these are kind of people that just do cash
only they got cash there, probably just take out you
know these not money clips and just peel off making
it ring.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
I'll give you a parcel of lamb.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's a peerage or anything, Duke Christian. Anyway, I ring this.
It's actually oppressed, this golden button, and it wasn't like
a normal doorbell. It was like it was like in
a church or something. This cacophony of like a bell
rang out. And then about five minutes act I had
to keep ringing it. A sprightly old lady answered the door,

(27:35):
who looked very sort of prim and proper from a
kind of BBC kind of sitcom, you know, And she said,
oh my god, you found Google. Come here, old boy,
Come here, old boy. She goes, oh my god, have
you come from fire? And I said wow. She was,
oh my god, you've driven here. Oh my god, thank
you touching up. Please let me give you some small thanks. Now,

(27:56):
there was two parts of me. One wanted to say,
you don't need to bother. I did. I did obviously
say that, but I think she read this guy wants something.
I actually think you're kidnapped Google. He can come back,
or he can go away. Doogle, get in the car.
Don't make this worse both of us. She goes, let

(28:19):
me just go and get you a small thank and
I'm still doing oh no, no, but my voice is
getting quite so oh, Jim was saying. She comes back
with a bottle of wine, and I think, oh, that's lovely,
you know, And then as she has it to me,
it's clear that it's a half drunk bottle of wine.
Oh no, no, someone her and maybe the old man
I don't know where.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
It's a hot expensive but it's a half drum and
I don't know whether she'd had a swig.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Oh bloody hell, this is a good one. I can't
find a cheaper one. But this commoner who's returned my dog,
maybe she was just like I haven't even opened this one,
just had a swig of it, and then when there
you go, there's your reward.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Off with you, off with you too much to give
him the whole bottle.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Okay, damn, that's good one, too good for his common panet.
All right, So has anyone actually claimed a reward?

Speaker 8 (29:10):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Stories about mum rage and has anyone ever actually claimed
a reward? Christian? About fifteen years ago, I also helped
find a missing labrador. What do you think the most
common dog is is lambwardoors. I think I don't think
they're very smart dogs. They look like such joyous, happy
things they've got I think they've got quite small brains.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Yes, they've got that happiness like kids too carefree. Maybe
they just wandering want.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yes, so they look a little bit simple. Oh my,
I hope you're to be lost in a din't content.
I've done it again. They're of course are like Charles
as well, aren't they? They're big, old, sort of floppy pores,
beautiful dogs. Christian, I out find a missing lambordore many
years ago. The owner cut me a check, oh old school,

(30:00):
which I donated to RSPCA. The reward for seeing the
dog reunited with the owners was enough. It was beautiful.
Let's go to Ryan now, Good morning, Ryan, You've got
her mum raid story.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Hey Christian, how are you?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
I I'm good. Welcome to the show, Ryan.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
Hey, Jack and Pats as well.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Ryan.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
So what did mum? What happened?

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:21):
So?

Speaker 6 (30:22):
My mum used to be a part time cake maker,
like she did a lot of wedding cakes and stuff
like that. And me and my stepdad when my mum
was making a cake, we just got out of the
house because we were just like, we don't want to
be part of the problem, you know what I mean.
So this one day, I don't know why we stupidly

(30:42):
just stayed home. I don't know. I must have been hot,
I don't know, But my mum was making this wedding
cake and.

Speaker 10 (30:48):
It just was not going to plan.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
And I'm hearing a lot of words. Yeah, I can't
say on the radio. And I thought, you know, I'll.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Go and see mum.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
I'll see what's going on on. So I go in there, mum.
You know she's frustrated, that real angry mum.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
Look.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Yes, yeah, yeah, And I stupidly was about to open
my mouth to say, hey, do you need a hand
or can I help or something? And she picked up
the cake and she threw it right at the wall,
and then she went over to it and she did
like what I could describe as a little dance on.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
It, a death dance, ceremonial death dance.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
So me being I must be sixteen, sixteen or something
like that, you know, more to five horrified as well.
And I just I didn't even say this, and I
just don't know what I just got out of hair.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
No, yess what we can do in that situation. There's
great lighting place for young kids. We'll get on your
bank and get out there.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
Yeah, I see, don't know if my stepdad stayed. So
it's just everyone for himselves.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Mate, every man and young man for themselves.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah to make yes, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
The thing is jack like my mom loved it, but
the stress and everything that.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
She went through. She already suffered for her.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
Yeah, it really she did like a lot of she
did like a lot of cakes for like her friends,
so she wouldn't have got paid or you know, like
a lot of love job sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
So yeah, that's a lovely story.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
That's the memory. Yeah, it stays with me.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Brian, thank you very much for sharing mate, you told
it really well as well, have a good day.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
Thanks thanks to the Shower as well.

Speaker 8 (32:33):
Christian O'Connell Shower go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Over the Easter break, my wife and I were heading
back to the UK. I haven't seen my mom and
dad in two years and my sister's turning fifty, so yeah,
in Kellow's time when it's easter, were heading back to
the UK, and he had the big reason we're going
as well as we're taking some of my mother in
law's ashes, who Sundy passed away last year. But we're
taking some of her ashes. And I'm sure some of
you have been through this where you siphon off the ashes.

(32:58):
The undertakers, the krementon we'll do this for you.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Oh they do it. So do you used to have
to say what percentage of Jackie that you want?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I don't think it's quite like that the conversations.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
I thought you might go like fifty fifty or we
take twenty of.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Her to know it's like you I think. I think
when my wife was when we were at the crematorium,
it was like she wanted some of her ashes, yes,
and it was like some of them, you know, and
then they sort of ask you roughly how much you
mean by that, And so there's some kind of universal
awkward conversation about it where obviously we want the bulk
of her in the garden and that's where she is
just under and we're not greedy. Is actually what my

(33:33):
wife wanted for a daughter. You two obviously haven't been
through the grief process because you've got no idea what
you're talking about. So you got and I didn't realize
you have to fin out all these forms. I even
had a letter yesterday because an email from one of
you going Christian. Yeah when you two wait, Yes, she
didn't realize the admin you can't just rock up to
the airport, especially not Melbourne Airport or even London, very

(33:54):
high security there about bringing mysterious powders into the country.
Oh no, that's mother. You don't need to work about it.
That powder in there led us through Christian We lost
some of them two years ago. We surprise. They treat
ashes like they would a body. Their strict record keeping.
To document about where the ashes end up, you had
have to find out a lot of them. You're wondering
whether or not to put it in the suitcase or

(34:15):
hand luggage. Hand luggage. Suitcases get lost all the time. Yes,
you suddenly your mother and as in Peru, when are
we going to get it back? And I've got to
go whether out there to get her back. So I
want to know your stories about what did you do
with the ashes. We've had stories about this before, about
what people do with the ashes. Here's someone of my favorites.

(34:38):
More while ago.

Speaker 10 (34:39):
I've got my mom, dad, and my inlaws ashes in
my pear tree.

Speaker 11 (34:43):
It was my grandfather and my grandmother. These wishes were
when he passed away, to get his ashes and her
ashes mixed together, and we mix them together in a
old paint bucket with a mate mixer.

Speaker 10 (34:55):
My mom was an obsessed mark Suspenser's shopper. We sprinkled
her ash. She's up and down the escalator. We thought
it would spread better because if We just jumped it
around on the carpet. Should get hoovered up.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Andrew and my Christian, my father was a huge V
eight supercar hold and Peter Brock fan. Some of his
ashes were spread in the middle of the racetrack out
Mount Panorama and we watched the cars race through him.
He would have loved that. Tough for the for the drivers.
They were the windscreen wipers and they're going to alter
the race for a driver. I mean, you can't have that.

(35:29):
The Grand Prix here, you know, ash has been thrown
in Lewis Hamilton's visa.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
I think that's why ps Tree spent.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Jane, my late grandmother, had a block of land and
Dromana which was taken back by compulsory acquisition for a
new freeway. She wanted her ashes spring called from the overpass,
so we did it, but the wind changed and it
just landed on the windscreens its passing. It's not quite
what they would have wanted. I think. Good morning, Lisa,

(36:00):
Good morning guys. How are you. Yeah, we're good Lisa.
So Lisa, what do you do with the ashes?

Speaker 10 (36:06):
Well, it's not so much what we do with the ashes.
What someone else did with the ashes. But it's my
partner's father just died just before this Christmas. Sorry that
on Christmas, thank you. On Christmas Day his sister had
the ashes sitting on the table with the photo of
Robbie there and all cheers to Robbie at Christmas time.
And then on Tuesday we've got a phone call from

(36:28):
the funeral pile was saying they've given you the wrong ashes.
So we had Christmas with Margaret instead.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Of Robbie Margaret.

Speaker 10 (36:40):
Where Robbie was handed back but we.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Don't care for him, is Margaret.

Speaker 10 (36:54):
The other thing was that Robbie was due to go
to Ireland. We're going to take the ashes across there.
So Michael got a tip to.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Listen. You mentioned these. I remember when we were at
the crematium last year getting my mother in law's ashes,
and my wife, who has no filter, there's a question
it's coming out, and she just goes to the lady
who is absolutely lovely and various spankful, it's beautially dumb.
She just goes, be honest with me, is this actually
my mother? And then she said this, Well, she goes,

(37:27):
you probably get this a lot, and then he went on,
she went, I can assure you if you like, I
can take you around the facilities. And I was like,
I don't, I don't feel we don't wonder about that,
and I'm sure just have a window. There was like
a convey about and something else going into what appeared
to be a shad or big thing. I'm like, we

(37:48):
you can't know that, we don't need to know. We
really don't need the tour, the factory spider alert. Oh my,
we just don't need to see this.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
And what was Sarah hoping to hear?

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Anyhow?

Speaker 5 (37:58):
It's true when we don't label.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Any of them. Listen, but you're not wearing a wire
right now. But actually some guy called Ian's Margaret. I
can't believe this happened.

Speaker 10 (38:11):
And the funny thing was that Margaret was a lot
heavier than.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
It was just three people. No, Margaret really loved to
chunk up before passed. Poor old Margaret right now listening
to this, Wow, we Lisa, what a story though.

Speaker 10 (38:38):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah it is, Lisa, bless you for sharing it with
us today. Thanks going the.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Show, Christian O'Connell show on podcast Produce Real.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I'll just tell you if we're trying to put too
many good callers on We've.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
Got to get to the news years.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Wow, I'm more important.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
True actually true, chilling reminder, Ashes, we're taking your stories
this morning. What did you do with the ashes? When
you lose someone, it is devastating, and when things are
very serious in life, there's one thing you don't hear

(39:18):
a lot of from that is laughter. And these stories.
There's such a cathartic release when you talk about these
stories because there is often with sprinkling or doing stuff
with ashes or different situations or what they would have
wanted real life then meets very good intentions and that
is always funny. So thank you very much everyone who's
trusting us with their stories. But oh my god, some

(39:39):
of these stories are incredible. Christian. When my mom passed
away three years ago, my sister and I had some
of the rashes put into lockets, which we both know
about both now where to make sure mamas include all
special occasions. That's lovely. She even went to the UK
with us on a trip that she made possible as
well in her will, Vicky, that's a lovely story. I

(40:00):
remember when we were at the crematoria last year, we
get my mother in law's ashes, and she said, up
by the way, if you just look around that shelf
over there, there's some things you could have. My wife's
mum turned into it was a shelf of rbs with
you tat like Bogan fair Well was like what someone

(40:25):
so special? I went, what is that? There was some
kind of rotating neon flashing object of shite and right,
and I just went, what's that? She was not interested
in buying signals commissions coming in. She goes to me,
She goes, you have good taste. She goes to she

(40:47):
does his fingerpoint look at salesperson goes black a USB
drive and is that it plays their favorite music as
they rotate. I looked at my wife because I was
laugh Why just is not the room for lots? All right?
So what do you do with the ashes? What a
line to a text here? My dad was a rodeo

(41:10):
rider back in the day. None of us can say that.
My dad was a rodeo rider back in the day
and wanted his ashes scattered on a rodeo ground up
near Kinon. So we went to scatter the ashes. However,
this is the common thing we keep her in. The
wind suddenly changed came across us and blew with the
ashes all over us Christian to the point where you

(41:32):
could taste it. Christian. We can make to my dad
in twenty thirteen, he is still in the urn. Twenty thirteen,
twelve years ago, he's still in the earth. My brother
has the ashes and the urn is under the stairs
at his house. So my dad is now known as
Harry Potter. That's from Loretta on a completely different tangent, Scott,

(41:55):
Christian Labbadors are not dumb animals. They used as seeing
it dogs and border control sniffer dogs. Scott, I want
to retract our earlier comments about the thickness of labradors.
Thank you for helping me see the labrador light. You're right,
they are Christianer team. I hope you all have a
story about a loved one's ashes from Paul. It was

(42:16):
nineteen ninety six and my favorite grandparent had died. This
is what it wasn't at least favorite on her. We
were scattering his ashes at Point Lonsdow. The wind was
up and I began pouring the ashes into the ocean.
The wind direction changed. I wound up covered in my grandfather.
I actually looked like I had at a party with
water white had ashes all over my face. That's from Paul.

Speaker 8 (42:41):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
What did you do with the ashes? Hey, guys, my
mom passed away in September a couple of years ago.
We picked up the ashes from the funeral home and
brought them back to my brother's house. We thought we'd
all have little earns for them to go into so
everyone could have a piece of mum. As we opened
the urn box, we looked at and we're the hell
do you get this thing open? See? No one talks
about this. I remember this last year.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
What kind of box is it?

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Well, it's so much that it's It's obviously has to
be heavily sealed because you don't want spinach. It's very precious.
My First of all, I tried a knife. Then we
turned to a screwdriver, and my brother was having a
nervous breakdown. We don't want to let the ashes suddenly
just fall on the table, onto the floor. It's going
to go everywhere. You need to stop. We start arguing

(43:27):
about it. We finally opened it up. It's so hard,
and my brother stood there and then someone came in
and actually knocked the urn over and all the ashes,
because there's this fine it's a really fine material. Substances
went all over the table that had hadn't been cleared
up from a lunch earlier, so I had like food

(43:48):
waste being brushed in brushes back into the urn took.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
I took another call from Kerry, who went down to
Phillip Bilin Beach, which her Nan loved, and they got
down there and couldn't open the airir. We spend half
an hour trying to get over. All right, we'll come back.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I guess it can't be like you canapringles. You know
once that you can't stop trash. Good morning trash, Good
morning Christian.

Speaker 9 (44:12):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Yeah, we're good, So tell me your story. Then what
do you do with the ashes? All right?

Speaker 9 (44:17):
Well, my grandmother passed away and I went and collected
the ashes, went with a girlfriend, did all the right
things on the way home. My grandmother was in love
with myers. She used to call her credit card to
Sarah Lee card because it was layer upon layer, and
she we thought, why don't we take her shopping? So

(44:40):
I popped her in a shopping bag and went for
a walk till night.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Through such a lovely idea, I love this.

Speaker 9 (44:46):
Thank god I didn't manage to get the thing open,
because I would have sprinkled her in some plants in mines, But.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
That's okay, we're in the changing room. It's on the floor.

Speaker 9 (44:58):
But to make matters worse about sick months later, I
still had her ashes at home and I get a
phone call.

Speaker 12 (45:03):
From the.

Speaker 9 (45:05):
I won't mention which cemetery and to advise me or
to ask do you still have your ashes? And I went, yeah,
why are they wrong, at which point they went, yeah,
they are, actually we gave you the wrong ones. My
horror then was can you imagine if the poor person
I'd taken shopping absolutely hated going shopping, and I'd taken

(45:30):
them shopping, what had happened.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Six months is such a long time.

Speaker 9 (45:34):
It is a long time. Well, my question was if
I didn't have them, would you tell the other people
that my ashes was their?

Speaker 5 (45:43):
That if she wasn't a pop plant in Maya So
they're not real?

Speaker 9 (45:53):
But yeah, no they there's a number on the on
the actual box, and they had given me the wrong number,
so well.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
There is yeah, you get this kind of number, you're right.

Speaker 9 (46:04):
But there was no way I could tell my mother
that her mother's ashes were wrong because that would have
mortified her. So that was a secret that I Well
she's passed away now, so she'll never know.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
You're kidding. Well, you're right. It would have been so
upset here so have made things worse, not better.

Speaker 9 (46:21):
Yeah, yeah, it would have made things worse. So when
I had my mother cremated and happened to be the
same cemetery, I actually asked them could they please make sure?
And I told them the problem and they didn't know
how to.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Deal with that.

Speaker 13 (46:34):
So for me, once cretorium, I'm going to the funeral ombusman.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
I did take it further. Someone actually did get the sack. Wow,
So because I mean, it's a duty of care.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
They you're quite right, it's so important. You're quite right,
all right, Trish, thank you very much for your cool
Thank you. The only person was happy with that ending that,
Oh mate, yeah right, well right right, one of the
tea always like one of the tea birds. But yeah, right,
today you're in that big furnace I show you due

(47:17):
to your care. Yeah right, A great story. That was.
What are you giving us? Call of the week.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Let's check off mixer.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Patsy's favorite phone. Ever, do you get some on the sack? Now?
We're cooking. Now we're doing radio like it should be
gut punch radio. Adam, Good morning, Adam, welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (47:44):
I like Christian, Jack and Patty.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
How are we going, mate, Adam? Who do you get
the sack? Now? Who do you get fired? Though? Your
ashes story? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (47:51):
Look, I'll tell you if they weren't volunteers, mate, they
may have been sacked. I'll give you the tips. But
look what we had happened was my my uncle. He
was heavily involved in the surf clut, so we thought
that we'd scatteries our ashes out in the ocean. So
we were organized with the surf club and we went
to the lookout and we got them. We saw them
get into the rescue boat and they started up. Man

(48:13):
as they went out to see they hit that kill
switch just as quickly as they started it, and like
we were saddened, the sadness just quickly turned to confusion
as we realized that they were in the middle of
the nippers for that day. So we had one undred
and fifty kids out in the water, and they decided
to dump my uncle's ashes pretty much slack bang right

(48:33):
in the middle of it. I could have rolled my
pants up and done this job myself, Christian. I think
a lot of the parents thought that the phone from
the ocean was coming in.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
The global pollution has gone crazy now.

Speaker 12 (48:49):
So my uncle left the beach pretty as quickly as
he got there. The stumped into the ground all through
the waters that all.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
The nippers, ingestdy the left in their name they would
have wanted.

Speaker 12 (49:01):
So it wasn't quite the experience a week erected. I'll
tell you what, though, I've got the teas away pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Maybe there's a gift in that as well.

Speaker 12 (49:10):
Yeah, just wondering where our uncle went.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
And that was back on the beach within a minute
and a half, and we're like, well, there goes that experience.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Adam. That's a great story. You're a good storyteller. When
sadness turned to confusion, I'll tell you.

Speaker 12 (49:22):
What I reckon. That's the newtop.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
This all right, Adam, great story well told. Thank you
very much.

Speaker 12 (49:31):
I have a great day. We'll speak again soon.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Thank you very much. Give us a called nine four
one four one o four three ashes to ashes? What
did you do with the ashes?

Speaker 8 (49:40):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Something happened to me in the last couple of days,
and I'm already starting to get that awkward icky sweat
we know when you you don't retalent awkward encounter, you
relive it. And I'm starting to feel the bodily held
memory of this story, which is a one hundred and
ten percent ikey. But let me take you there. I
go to a small supermarket. A guy does a double

(50:07):
tape when he sees me, and he says this word
for word, hey Superstar, puts his hand out to shake mine.
I automatically go to shake the hand of the man
greeting me with the words hey superstar. As my hand
gets nearer and he's looking at me for another couple
of seconds, he goes, oh, sorry, I thought you somebody else.
Oh but our hands I am.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
The superstar, sir.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Our hands are now not fully interlocked, but finger to
finger he goes, bright red. I go bright red. I'm
in an awkward situation. He's made weird. I don't know
what now you understand this is? It gets worse somehow
he gets worse right. I then I actually don't know

(50:50):
what to do, so I'm frozen. Here. I now carry
on with the handshake. The man who doesn't want to
be shaking my hand because I'm now not the superstar
thought I was. He then it was all happening in
nano seconds. He then carries on with an awkward handshake.
He doesn't want neither of you. He then does the

(51:11):
right thing and departs the scene. I'm standing there sweating.
I'm aware that there was a lady right who suddenly
stopped what she was doing when she just turns to
me and goes, she she was getting it over for bed.
She just her hand just stuck on it. Like I
need to hear all of this. She goes to me,
Oh my god, that was so awkward. Yeah, and she goes,

(51:32):
it is you, isn't it's Christian from the rangehow I went, yeah,
that's what he goes, Why didn't you say to him?
Maybe it is me Christian?

Speaker 8 (51:39):
That what?

Speaker 1 (51:39):
So I'm going to go, No, I think I am
a superstar. It's bad enough as it is that I
gladly accepted superstar status without even thinking about that. That
gun came out the whole set. Yes, indeed, get.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
Your phone out Google.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a bit of story for the ages.
She goes, you should have said, I think it might
be who you thinks is I said, that could have
made it worse. What if he goes, No, that's not
all I thought it was. So anyway, he's now gone
rightly to the yard. I do actually need to get
what was there? Right I then walk all the way
down the other end of the arm. I peer around it,
like see if he's still there, because I can't be

(52:13):
anywhere near him because we're gonna have to say so.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Really leave the shop.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
So I then see he's still there.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
I swear this is this is what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
He stood like this chest like a little boy who's
been scolded, and his face is beetroot red. I now like,
oh my god. I then go to the woman who
witnesses our listener and shout out to Anne. I go
to a I we need to get some milk and
some cheese. Goes, wait, do you want me to go

(52:44):
around there? Is he still there? When he's still there,
she goes to get it for me. I then had
a list of other things. I rushed to the till
jog jog out there with my two items of about
twelve I needed jog into the car.

Speaker 8 (53:00):
Got out.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Oh my god, I don't even feel better for sharing
that story.
