So lot coming out of Trump and elbow and then
suddenly Kevin Rudd glance in the pass gets a clip
from Trump to his face. If I've got this right,
Passes said, I don't like you and I never will
sort of thing you know when your mummy missed you
make you have the lonely kid down the road over
for a playover, and I'm never gonna like you. I
(00:50):

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Give him a chance, police, you might be able to
change his mind.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Trump is old enough to know better beef with.

Slip, and it's so like you got the lottery of
like will you take my word for it? Send me
down the green line? Or do I look suspicious? And

Yes, sir, well, I say that I'm a Monday winner
and I'll tell you why. And it's got something to
do with you. And that is or rather the first lady,
Sarah O'Connell, And why I'm a winner is because she
gave me this mad, crazy text message yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I welcome to my world.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, that is ninety nine point nine percent of my
text message from my wife, I say, from my wife.
She uses Siri like it's a PA. She's constantly yelling
at Siri to dictate a message and message somebody, so
we get these messages that don't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Will she do it in public, like if she's at
a shopping center?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wo yeah, while I'm watching TV. Hey, sirih text text

afternoon because it made me think all my life.
Speaker 1 (05:28):

Facts Do you use? You're a busy mum. Do you
you Siri a lot? Are you dictating?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:59):

Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's just easier as opposed to going to your kid,
you know, your phone and typing it in and.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's just like, do you find that it works well?
Though I'm constantly just killing at it.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It's useless.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It hasn't got any better as Ai is getting better
and smarter and every day, and what he can do
Siri is just it feels like it's landline technology like modem.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I'm often yelling into it if you can't understand, and
news reader, I don't know who you can exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I think we have addiction perts. This are recorded a
couple of weeks ago. Hey Siri, Hey Siri, Hey, Siri, Siri,

Speaker 4 (07:56):
This is your generation.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You are. You're rolling over to the algorithm.
Speaker 8 (08:01):

Speaker 4 (08:24):
My goodness, gracious?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Are we walking home from the park, the kids and
I my six year old twins and Max is four.
We come across this scene. It looks like a dog
has something in its mouth. We come closer, the dog
has spat it out and it turns out it's a
ringtail possum.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Oh no, but luckily it.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
Wasn't hurt, so we thought, and the owners very quickly
exited the scene.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Owners of the dog? What's going on here?
Speaker 9 (08:47):
So we're stuck with this possum that's in complete shock, terrified.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
What do we do with a few kids to see
that as well? And then they expect you to do something?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
And that's what I did, Christian, What did you do?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
CPR No?
Speaker 6 (08:59):
I picked it up with my haking.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Loved to seen Alex dropped down into his hands and
knees and to a ringtail possum. Stay away from the

Don't go to the light, you smelly little possum. Those
funny bug eyes as well. Fade away.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
It was shaky anyway, I what am I going to do?
Speaker 9 (09:24):
So I got the my handkerchief out of my pocket

of the middle of the tree.
Speaker 1 (09:31):

going to do? So I had to call these these people.
We got home and I said, let's just leave it
here for the moment. It's staying there. So again he

where it was. We left it there because it's at
the end of the We went home.

slightly bigger than a small kitten. I'm like, ah, it's
like a bit a rat. And she says, oh, it's
a ringtail possum. Oh okay. Now what you need to
do is I can't come there. I'm too far away.
I'm like, what do you mean you can't come here?
She said, I'm in Melbourne's far northern suburbs. So what
you're gonna have to do is grab it, get a
pillow case, go back there, put it in the pillow
(11:36):
case and take it to a vet at Abbotsford, which
is also.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
A long way away from where we are. I'm like, oh, seriously,

they've had their dinner.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
What do I do?
Speaker 9 (11:53):
Let's go back and check on it and see if
it's okay, they eat, you're taking care of it. Well, no,
it was still there with my handkerchief holding onto it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, your fingerprints all over.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
You need to call the don Anyway, it's there, and
it's of where i'd left it.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
But it was looking a bit healthier. It was looking better.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
It was looking okay, and we got the handkerchief back
off it because the kids wanted that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I can't put that on A quick twenty minute was
But the worst thing is as we're seeing this all
over it.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
As we're standing there, this couple walks past and this
woman's like, oh, what's going on here? I said, well, oh,
we're just looking. I'm going to have to take this
possum to the vet. And she goes, oh did you call?
I went Victoria Wildlife, Inc. Oh and what did they say?
And I'm like, they're going to come mangle yeah, and
she's like, I said, they're not going to come and
get it. Oh, that can't be right. I rescued a
(12:44):
small penguin once and they were here in half an
hour's time. I'm like, okay, so stop lecturing me. I'm
trying to get this done here. I've got three screaming
kids here that I do not need you trying to
tell me whether or not I've called the right people.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And then her husbands have gone, oh, let's just go. Now.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
This guy's clearly under a lot of pressure. And so
what happened.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
So we it sort of crawled up the tree a
bit further, came back down the tree, and went up
again a bit and the kids are throwing the handkerchief
at it again.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
They're putting, they're trying to.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Give it food.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
And that said to me, it's healthy enough to leave
it there, and if it's there the next morning.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Happy Days is meant to be.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
So we left the scene because the possum looked to.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Me, you know, damn well, that thing ain't.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
No, I don't know I think it is.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It was fine we left, you know, it was fine.
We left made the night.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
It looked a lot healthier when we found it, okay,

Speaker 1 (13:58):

the kids it's having a very long lie this morning.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Australian Bird Count needs all of us. This is a
good fun thing to do over the next couple of days.
There's a free app, the Auntie bird Count. You went
out on the streets yesterday used yours? What did you spot?
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Yes, I went out into Richmond Citizen Park sat there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I saw a bunch of lori heats And.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
What do you do? Take a photo of them or
record them? And how does it work?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
It's actually very cool.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
You put where you are on the map and then
it has a bunch of sort of suggested birds that
you're probably likely to see. Because I'm just a burden
of us. This is my first year birding, so I
don't know really what any birds are.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Behalf of all as a child ornithologist, we're all just
beginners in a great game.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
That's it's lovely to have ANUW members.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for those doors are
always open.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Look around me. But it's a beautiful, beautiful world out there. Now.
The guy who's got a lot more to say about
this is on the line. We actually spoke to a
couple of weeks ago when I was trying to identified
a trying to identify bird that had a really irritating
call that has gone on this and people calling in
and then the end Sean came and told me it
(15:15):
was the pied Corawong. Sean Dooley is on the line
right now. He's been up apparently since the early hours
bird Spotting because it's on for the next couple of days. Sean,
welcome back to the show.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
Oh, thank you very much and glad to hear that
you're getting out there and doing a bird count. This
is like Christmas for bird watchers and it comes around
so quickly every year, but we're absolutely loving it. We
had six hundred and fifty thousand birds counted just yesterday,
so fifty right across Australia. Yeah, so we're aiming for
(15:47):
five million this year, which would be a recording.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You do that. So how many years this been going
on and why this.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Is the twelfth year that we've done it And the
reason we started it at BirdLife Australia back in twenty
fourteen was we knew that there were a lot of
bird curious people out there. They wouldn't consider themselves pull
on bird nerves. But we knew that they were out
there seeing birds every day, and we were never hearing
(16:15):
about what they were seeing. And so we thought, why
not put them to good use and actually get them
to do a survey once a year and send the
results into us, so we can get this snapshot about
how many birds are out there, and you know which
ones are doing well, which ones are starting to disappear.
And so basically this sitters and science thing has become
(16:36):
this snowball of people going. You know what, It's not
as daggy as I thought. And if I go out
and I connect with all these amazing creatures just outside
my doorstep, it's actually pretty cool and fun.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I think it's a great thing for families. I think
we spend too much time with our heads down on
our screens. It's a great thing to reconnect with the
natural world, whether you live in the suburbs and just
see the trees and the birds and stuff. I think
it just opens up some sort of sense of spaciousness
and connected in you when you connect to nature. And
I think it's a lovely thing that people do over
the next couple of days as well. That's a really
really cool thing. I'm going out late today with one
(17:11):
of my daughters. We're going to go for walk for
an hour and we're going to see what birds we spot.
I think it's a great is How does the outwork?
Do you record the birds, take the photos?
Speaker 10 (17:20):
No, you just have to enter the number of how
many birds you see, of which birds they are. So
you download the Aussie Bird Count app and one team.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Have we all got ours?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I've got minehus downloaded. Rio you got yours yesterday?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Yeaps, So you don't doing it right now?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Alex on it.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Beauty excellent and yeah. So you go out your quick
stuff and in the next twenty minutes you add every
bird that you see and if you don't know what
you're looking at, we try and help you along by it.
You can there's a function on the app where you
can enter the size and the shape and the color
of the bird and it's going to give you suggestions
(17:57):
as to what bird that might be, including with photos,
so you can scroll through and go, oh, yeah, I reckon,
that's what it looks like and then you enter however
many you saw of that and that goes straight to
us at bird Life Australia where we're creating this this
Australia wide picture of how our birds are going this year.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Fantastic and so so what's it on for the next
five days.
Speaker 10 (18:20):
Yeah, we go right through until Sunday. So, as I
said earlier, we're hoping to break the five million birdmark
for the first time ever.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We've all going to have, Kate, We've all got to
have targets. You know, you get a bonus obviously, and
five million it's a tuger. I hope you get there.
I really want to make sure we get wine. I
really think it's a great, a great thing to do,
all right. So if people want to do this, they
just go to the app store where they get their
apps from, and they're down at the Aussie bird count.
And we've got the next five days to try and
(18:48):
get up to the magic five million bird number.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
Yeah, that's right, that's right, And you never know what
you'll say. I've been a birdwatcher on my life and
I saw a new bird yesterday for my suburb.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Now what did you see?
Speaker 10 (19:00):
I was. I'm down down bayside me too.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Let's go out birding together. That would be awesome, you
guys in a past room as will talk.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Yeah, we do recommend that if you're a bloke by
yourself with binoculars, don't do your birds.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah ok, yeah women are some bathing. Yeah, great birds
down there today.
Speaker 10 (19:26):
But yes, I did see a sacred kingfisher.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So you know, now, the kingfisher is my favorite bird.
Now the kooka but is kind of like your version
of the English kingfisher, isn't it.
Speaker 10 (19:37):
Yeah, it's it's the you know it's it's the king
of the kingfishers is like the largest beautiful birds.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's my favorite Australian bird is a coooka bar.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, they go put that any phone mate. All right, Sean, listen,

population different birds as well. Don't worry about that, Christian.
Are bats birds? No, bats are mammals, But I think
they're the only mammal that's capable of true flight. Oh
they're pub quiz. If you ever get any bat round
or mammal round or the av and round, you'll be
(20:53):
grateful of that.

and Goonies two iconic not just eighties movie.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Two iconic movies.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Forty years old, No, forty forty years.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Old, that's nearly half a century.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I tell it.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Both of those, I mean Goonies obviously a big sort
of echo, and they're in the brilliant Stranger Things and
at Breakfast Club is still a timeless classic. Such a
great movie. All right, So let's stay with movies. Let's
go to one of my favorite Robin Williams comedies, Missus
doubt Fire. Oh you've a Denied doubt Fire? Oh oh yes,
(21:55):
what a great movie I remember. And also Robin's fantastic
in it. And then they've got hours of unreleased footage.
They should do a special cut of it, of just
because he improvised most of it.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
And I remember interviewing Pierce Brosnan years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was a delight, and we ended up talking about
what it was like working rober Williams. He said, terrify.
It was brilliant, he said, the best gig I've ever had.
But he goes, you practice your lines and then suddenly
Robin's taking the scene somewhere else. You're trying not to
laugh because you're with the world's funniest person. You're on
camera and you've got a staying character. Like there's the
bit where obviously Peers ponses the new boyfriend, you know,
(22:30):
and he's skinny, he's young, he's charming, and obviously Missus
doubtfire Slush David hates him. Do you remember the scene
where they go like the club and they're buying the
poll Robin wins his characters is down for it is drinking.
Heavily sees him getting out there trying off it just
starts throwing that fruit at him. This scene he has
a loser.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
Oh sir, my sort some angry member of the kitchen staff.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Did you not tip or tear us around that way?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It was a run by fruiting. One of the most
incredible scenes in a movie that is faultless. There's a
ten out of ten comedy of that is the bed
in the restaurant where the TV heads and they're getting
drunk and he's been both David and he's been Missus
doubtfi remember the change of clothes and the toilet scene excelling.

the real test is. Fire hydrants, Yes, yeah, they love
a crosswalk. Fire hydrants, bridges, stairs and bicycles. Have you
got the traffic lights and the traffic how many traffic lights?

I'm in a silent war with my partner Will. It's
never actually been acknowledged. Constantly flipping it.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Which way you orientate?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I do it top.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Down, that's the most efficient way you change the modem.
You're getting unnecessary paper? Yes, I always flip.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I'm worried that if you're then scooping under and if
you need the paper, that you might have a swald
hand and you're going to that's what I thought. But yes, no,
that's ever happened to me. But I'm just talking on
behalf of a friend, Christian. No one wants to thought
of their radio hosts with pewy hands. It never happened.
(36:01):
Guys cleared this up once and for all, and the
wall a little bit of sweet corn there. I'll get
it too much.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Christian O'Connell show on podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Jes I think every single parent can rate to this, Christian.
My small thing bigger is that my kids want dinner
every single night. They really do.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
We need food to live.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
To exist, We need you for our survival. Well we're
into day eighteen, for those of you who are playing along,
Day eighteen of the this radio station, gold Em biggest
radio station in the city. The front door is broken
and it's gaffer taped open.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Still it looks awful.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
To seeing that dap you know, Lily and who came
in who survived one hundred year is an incredible drama
and change. To walk into a radio station of an
interview with a knacker door. Yeah, I mean drive around,
drive around, no matter what people have got going on
financially and something like that cost of living crisis. The
doors are there. The doors are there. You might be
(37:12):
making savings anywhere else, maybe buying cheap a loo roll,
non brown thiss or, but the doors are there. Not here,
not This place makes money, makes a profit. You hear
the adverts. It's doing pretty well. By the old are
overlords apparently are waiting for apart from Germany. You know
(37:33):
what I'm thinking, you financial year. My theory is that
we see that part come January.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Do we get to track the part like we get
to track.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
We can do track Santa.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
So I want to try and build this week the
definitive hot broken one hundred, one hundred broken things of Australia.
First of all, we go with our broken gold e
FMS station door. The other thing I'm going to add
in is my dryer, the broken door that's been broken
for over two years, so I can put wet, damp
(38:09):
clothes in it. I then have a small carry on
suitcase with a couple of kettlebells in it that I
wedge up against the door. It's a hell of a sea.
Every time someone comes around they see this, go, oh
you go and someone wait, no, no, that's just clothes.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
There is a window you've only got like a week
of a window to fix something.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Otherwise you get two years.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Stuck to carry on suitcase and a couple of kettlebells. Yes, yes,
it's going to wedge it run up against the door
to stop from popping.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Open and the dry stopping.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
All right, So I just need ninety eight other broken
things in Australia pass.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
What have you got to offer?
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Yes, I've got to offer up our grill that goes
over our ducted heater system.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Oh, I know the thing. You can clean it sometimes,
the filter.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Grill, and it's rather big and the screws of probably
cleaned it too many times, and so we've lost the
screws that go.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Through to the plaster micro screws.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yes, and it's in our hallway, so you know, after
a few days, who was the first to walk down
the hall to find it nearly halfway onto the floor.
We just shove it with our knee whack into the
plaster and it's got a very definitive sound.
Speaker 10 (39:18):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Yes, someone's just fixed the grill. It just like gets
shoved back in with a foot.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Early warning system. Yes, no one can surprise each other
in your home, that's.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
I'm sure it's a quick fix, but we've just never
been bothered to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
All right, text me now then four seventy five three,
one oh four three. You can also call as well.
What have you got to put on the list? We
need ninety eight more. We're looking for the hot Broken

Seems that the thing has been broken since within a
few days of its sitting there, But it stays there

Speaker 3 (44:37):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I'm going to do a very very powerful impression right now,
and I like you will imagine what this movie might be.
You can go into a store and by plutonium dark.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Pretty good.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Oh it's in the right continent. But yes, back to
the Future today is a very significant date. Brackets ish.
I left this show yesterday and the post show meeting,
believe that one of you told me that today, twenty
first of October twenty twenty five was the day in
(45:14):
Back to the Future too they traveled to in the future,
and that we should do something significant on it this morning.
I thought, hang on a minute, I'm pretty sure it's
twenty fifteen. I then go on to by the movie,
scroll it on to get this bit.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Wednesday, I called the twenty first twenty to fifty. I'm
like those bloody producers pinus off again.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
So we're celebrating the anniversary ten years on.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yes, the ten year anniversary or anniversary.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Right, Okay, so it's a ten versary, yes, exactly, that's
one hundred percent of this show. Anyway, we're into it now,
We've got to keep going on. So let's do this
an annual thing. This is always going to be our
back to the Future day as we celebrate time moving
on from twenty to fifty.
Speaker 8 (46:02):
It's a depressing that's ten years since when they went
into the future.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
You're right, it's so far. You know what it is?
Rio is future plus ten, right, isn't it? Because future
was twenty fifteen?
Speaker 2 (46:13):
Can you today? I called the twenty first twenty to fifteen.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
That felt pretty futuristic, but imagine ten years on from
that moment, it's future plus ten.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
I love it. That's all we're living in right now.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
It's very clear to understand hashtag future plus ten if
you want. Know many social messages today on the significant day.
But what great movies. Back to the Future and the
first one is such an original idea and it still
stands a test of time. Now it's anyone seen Back
to the Future. Recently I watched it.
Speaker 8 (46:43):
For the very first time. I've never seen I'm not
an eighties kid. Yeah sure, I watched it for the
first time on the weekend with a little bit of apprehension, thinking,
you know, just old movies are just like that.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
In those eighties ones, they really hang up. They're quite
slow on the editor, you know. Now it's like twenty
second tiktop reels and Instagram and that. Then you're like, yean,
cut the scenes go on just a bit too long.
I try to get my kids to watch. I raised
them enjoying Eddie muh Feet and I was, Oh, you
should watch now, you old enough to get it to
the swearing. Let's do Beverly Hills cop it was. It
(47:14):
was just dragging on twenty minutes, like dad, I was like, yeah, okay,
it's a hard t it's a hard sell. But back
to the Future.
Speaker 8 (47:21):
Back to the Future went out of ten like It's
just I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
It's like comfort food. It was a perfect movie, like
Beef of Feet.
Speaker 8 (47:30):
Everything gripping, funny, warmth, warmthful, warmthful.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yes, warming. I loved every second of it.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
It was such a great idea. And I years ago,
I was looking enough to interview Steven Spielberg, right and
it was talking about so how did Zamechas and and
well Girl come up with the idea, And it was
they've been trying to come up with an idea with
like a time traveling nostalgia movie for quite a while.
And then Robert samechis went back to see his mum
(47:59):
and dady were getting the photos out, you know, as
people used to do then now they're on you know,
laptops and that, and he was looking at his mum
and he thought, and his mum and dad, and he
was like, I wonder if I went back in time
and before they got together, got married and had me,
would I like my parents? And he was like, my god,
this is the idea for the thing about time traveling,
where you go back and see your parents before they
(48:22):
became your parents.
Speaker 4 (48:23):
And then obviously it gets a.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Strange scene as they start to write it, where it's well,
what if your mum's hot?
Speaker 4 (48:29):
There is that awkward scene you remember.
Speaker 8 (48:32):
I mean, they're pretty heavy handed on the old would
You Sleep with Yourselves?
Speaker 4 (48:39):
Engine?
Speaker 1 (48:39):
It only when I saw it again last year. I
didn't realize at the time because when it came out
in eighty five, I was twelve, so it just felt
a bit, a little bit giggy. Then I didn't really
understand the repercussions of that and how odd that is
until later on.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Yes, yeah, it's a bit we're in the school hour,
aren't we, But it is a bit. It's a bit much.
Some of them.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Disney rejected the script forty times.
Speaker 6 (49:01):
Yes, yeah, they thought it.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
The originals apparently were really too incestuous, So I'm not
was the original one you have a one night with
his mum was his own baby daddy.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
They're in the car.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
We're making it sound like it's the most extreme movie.
This is a mainstream a PG movie. It's layered. Yes,
let's us say it's a very laid movie. Anyway, when
I was starting about to spewalk about the movie, he said,
originally it was a time traveling fridge, Okay, And he
actually said, not if that's what we did, gone with right,
(49:39):
he goes, not as successful a movie because the delooring car,
those choices that people make when they make great stuff
that stands to test the time, all compound and add up.
The delooring car itself looked futuristic with the gull wing
doors that came up, not the same with a fridge.
The only reason I said, what what what?
Speaker 4 (49:58):
What killed the fridge?
Speaker 1 (49:59):
He goes in the end, So executive rightly pointed out,
they're worried that we copycat kids might get in fridges
to go time traveling.
Speaker 4 (50:06):
So that's I said.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
That was the only reason you dropped the it's been
creative decision.
Speaker 4 (50:12):
So here's a question.
Speaker 1 (50:13):
Then, on this semi significant day, if you could go
back in time, what year would you go to? If
it was for me, I was thinking about this to
down the way in I'd go back to twenty twelve
for two reasons. Right, twenty twelve was the London Summer Olympics,
and there have been so much criticism about how much
money would be spending on this and was it going
to be any good? And the opening ceremony was costing
(50:35):
millions and millions and millions and millions. The opening ceremony,
I've don't seen anything like it before. It was a
real moment where the country came together and felt proud
and then bizarrely we happened to do well as well.
And so it was a really magical couple of weeks.
It was on air in London. There was just like
this buzz in London that the Olympics were here and
it was looking good on TV. The other thing is
my daughters then were eight and six. Those are magical ages.
(50:59):
The kids are just in this twilight. You get this
window for a couple of years. Once they get over
five up until about ten, it's a phase of being
a dad where it's just really magic. And the ages
right now eighteen and twenty one, it's a different kind
of magical, but then it's a real it's a twilight
couple of years. That's why we'd go back to that
eight and six. We went to some of the some
(51:20):
of the events as well, the beach volleyball. One of
my kids actually just fell asleep during it, she was
so bored. My wife was like you telling us was
the only one that you get tickets from? Funny genuinely was.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
On Everyene's just running around in barely any clothes.
Speaker 8 (51:34):
That's Irrelevant's just a coincident.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Okay, not on the significant day twenty fifteen plus ten.
Speaker 4 (51:40):
Perhaps where would you go time traveling to?
Speaker 5 (51:42):
You know, fairly recent I'd go back to twenty twenty
three and my first ACROS win, which meant so much
to me after decades in radio, and it just was
it was just a pivotal point in my career where
I finally felt empowered and it gave me the confidence.
You know, I was about to launch the podcast Rage
Against the Metapause as well, and I really felt like
(52:05):
I had grown into my shoes as a present, and
it just gave me so much confidence as a woman
in her early fifties where you think, okay, what's ahead
for me now and sort of roads feel like they're
narrowing a bit. But it's just opened up this whole
new world for me and given me the confidence to think, well,
you know, anything is possible, you can do it, You're
(52:27):
good enough to do it. So I often sort of
reflect back if I have a day where i'm sort
of hum ha, I think, gee, that was a great year.
Speaker 7 (52:35):
Look at what you've done and need to do it.
Proud of myself. Yeah, yeah, that was a great.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
So it felt like that you've finally got recognition. Yes,
for too long I got the feeling that you've been ignored.
And you know, I think one of the lovely things
that since i've known an your work with you, Patsy,
in seeing your rise and rise and rise and rise
and rise and that will continue, is just how at
first I felt like you didn't quite trust yourself. And
you know, it's really hard for women in broadcasting. It's
(53:01):
hard for women in many industries. How we're in broadcasting,
it's even harder. The majority bosses of men your casting
shows where sad it's a very narrow role. They want
you to laugh at someone like me. And so what's
been lovely about watching you just flourishing the Patsy is
you just grow into who you actually are.
Speaker 5 (53:17):
Oh and you know what, thank you for accepting me
as who I am, because this.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
Is a show where you shouldn't have to say that.
Speaker 4 (53:24):
It's just basic to accept somebody for who they are.
Could you not be?
Speaker 6 (53:28):
You?
Speaker 1 (53:28):
Pats between the outs and six and nine?
Speaker 5 (53:30):
We laugh at that, but it's so true where you know,
bosses are so eager to pigeonhole some presenters, but this
isn't our company, and this isn't your show where every
member of this team is allowed to spread their wings,
and you so encourage that. And also, you know, we've
got some great female leaders in our company as well,
who are propelling a lot of women in our company,
(53:52):
so cute oster them as well. So yeah, I look
back at that much, lovely, pat That was nice.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
All right, let's take a break. So tell us then,
what year would you go back to? And the most
important thing is tell me exactly why that year. You
can text me oh four seven, five, three, one four
to three and you can call us thirteen fifty five
twenty two, and don't forget today is a very, very
semi significant day. It's ten years on from that moment.
Speaker 3 (54:17):
Can you believe the Christian O'Connell show podcast, it's.
Speaker 1 (54:22):
So complicated to set up this non anniversary anyway, Today
is ten years on from the day in the future,
twenty first of October twenty fifteen, So it's that year
they went to the future, ten years on.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Ten years from that and you know what we.
Speaker 1 (54:38):
Are, we're also now future future. We're marking it now.
Whether our friends in America, oh true LEAs tomorrow, yes,
future future, after the future future. Today's show, I've gotta
be honest, is meta.
Speaker 2 (54:53):
Very yes.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
The only way I can describe it very postmodern, can't
you It's very very postmodern Christian. If you're asking what
year I go back to Matthew, that's exactly.
Speaker 4 (55:01):
The question I just asked. Take me back.
Speaker 1 (55:04):
I don't know what I said it very clearly, take
me back to where we go, my friend and in
a time traveling fridge. We're after the ninety two Olympics.
Matthew wants to go and watch the Dream Team oh
the basketball, Yes, you got Bird Johnson, Charles Barkley, what
was that bar Salona? Yeah, that would be yes, that
(55:24):
would be some trip. Matthew. That's a great one, Christian.
I'd go back time traveling. I'd go back to the
year two thousand. I was fifteen years old. The world
was just a better place, skateboarding for me, picked up
the guitar for the first time. Pop culture was peak.
Everything just seems simper and happier. I'm still best friends
who with most of my friends from that time. We
constantly talk about how life is going so quick, and
we reminisce about those days.
Speaker 4 (55:46):
Christian.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
I go back to nineteen eighty five, the end of
the school year in grade five. For me, the sun
is shining and walking home from school on the last
day of term four, knowing I've got the whole summer
holidays ahead of my ahead of me in my pool,
without a care in the world, right before puberty, before
any teen stuff and things start to get a little
bit screwy, beautifully, said Christian. I go back in time
(56:08):
twenty eleven. This is from Nathan. When my three daughters
were very young, ages one, three, and five. I really
missed those tiny people. It's such a special time. Like
you said earlier, the grant so far as that's from
Nathan Alex Maye. Where would you go back? What year on? Why?
Speaker 9 (56:22):
Well, I go back to Sydney two thousand, the Olympic Games.
You mentioned London, Well, I think Sydney was just incredible.
I was twenty years old, you know. University just had
just a wonderful, wonderful vibe there in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (56:34):
You had a great games.
Speaker 6 (56:35):
It was such a great games, the best ever apparently.
Speaker 8 (56:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, every.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
Independent ball but actually we're lucky to have had Olympics, yes,
because it's an amazing thing and obviously you do get
home advantage. TEMGB had not had a lot of success,
so I think that's what the country was like, why
are we doing this? Then sudden we start winning, smashing
goes up. Hey you know what, how good at the Olympics?
(57:04):
Got right in your backyard. So yeah, but the Sydney
one looked great on TV as well. There's so many
great moments kind of that people still talk about.
Speaker 4 (57:12):
Now.
Speaker 9 (57:12):
Eric was somebody, Eric the Eel was in the crowd
where this guy lined up for his heats in the
one hundred meter freestyle. The guy jumps in his goggles
coming you say, jumped, And he didn't die. He only
just finished his first level one of lessons. Yes, well,
and he only just finished his first lap. He's on
(57:34):
his way back. He starts dog paddling. He was, and
you know what, there was this moment in the crowd
where there was complete silence because it was shocked, like,
oh my god, this guy can't really swim, And.
Speaker 6 (57:45):
Then all of a sudden everyone started clapping.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
Exactly.
Speaker 9 (57:51):
It was one of the most beautiful moments, one of
the most beautiful sporting moments of people just getting up
and getting behind this guy and the world where bananas
and where just.
Speaker 1 (58:01):
He became a cult hero.
Speaker 3 (58:02):
He is.
Speaker 1 (58:03):
Afterwards he was like touring the country speaking doors and
apparently it was unlike our letterman and Wogan in the UK,
it was like a really big star.
Speaker 9 (58:11):
Massive cheering him home and he finally got there and
it lifted the roof off. And yeah, we only found
out later that he'd only trained in a hotel pool
at the hotel store. Now he teaches swimming back in his.
Speaker 1 (58:24):
UEA. Yeah, come on, seriously, come on, coach. You know
Fakes has never played the game, but he's a great coach.
He's just one back to back.
