Speaker 7 (03:26):
I have been riding high all week, delirious on the
fumes of the Ashes win from the first Test.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I have been who it's all about the comeback.

Speaker 7 (03:37):
The only content I've been consuming is cricket content this week.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I think you said you watched the brief two days.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Actually yesterday watch reverse.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's much more enjoyable for me as an England fan
watch in.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Reverse, no joke.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yesterday I watched Travis Head's innings again. It's incredible and
there is some great creet content going around. The best
cricket podcast in the world at the moment is The
Great Cricketer.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's two aussy guys.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
They started a very very very funny Twitter account maybe
ten years ago and they've grown this podcast in to
it's one of the biggest podcasts in Australia.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's a massive I listened to a really funny one
that Matthew Vaughan does. Will feel tough now. But what's
it called.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
It's called The Grade Cricketer, right, It's brilliant.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
Another one that I've been hoovering up is The Test
Match Special, which is the BBC's very good cricket podcast,
especially if you want to hear sad and Angry Poms.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Oh, it is just.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
That the only podcast my dad listens to. Oh really, yeah,
he loves that.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
It's really It's also got Andy Saltzman, who had a
brilliant podcast called The Bugle. Very funny, very smart, used
to be John Oliver's sort of right hand man and.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
A stand up comedian's friend of Mine's very funny, very
very smart man, but very clever and funny like John Oliver.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
Yes, yeah, and he does these brilliant, brilliant and really
funny stats at the end of the podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I cannot out funny, aren't He didn't think that people
can make cricket funny, but they do, and so is it?
The Gray cricketers.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
The grade Yeah, I was running like, great, what are they?

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Middle aged club cricket?

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, club Green got it?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Great crickets all right.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast Patsy, What's it for You?

Speaker 8 (05:19):
I have watched with my nearly fifteen year old a
Billy Eilish documentary. She is a red hot on. Billy
Eilish absolutely idolizes her and what a role model. Billie Eilish.

Speaker 9 (05:29):
The World's a little blurry on Prime.

Speaker 8 (05:32):
A couple of surprising things for me out of this
in that she really doesn't realize how good she actually is.
And there's this backstage scene of her with her parents
and mom comes in after a concert performance that she
does and they're all praising her. You know, she did
this awesome performance, and she wasn't happy with it.

Speaker 9 (05:51):
She said, I wasn't that good. Like she really seriously.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Does family the whole, the mom and dad and as well.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
And that's the other part that I loved so much
was the family unit, very humble beginnings, have not forgotten
who they are, where they're from. A beautiful family unit
that is just filled with so much love and raw talent.

Speaker 9 (06:14):
And it was really funny.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
Her very first live concert she did, she was only
barely seventeen, and she was so petrified and she says
to her mom and dad, can I bring a friend
just for moral support?

Speaker 9 (06:26):
You forget?

Speaker 8 (06:26):
You know, she's got this whopping amount of talent, but
essentially she's just a young girl.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
She's just a kid.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
She's still so.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Young phenomenal, and she's just signed with James Cameron to.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Do like a three D version.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I saw there was a trailer I got sent the
other day, so James Cameron, as in Titanic as in Avatar,
is a massive fan of Billie Anders, saw her live
and said, I'd like to do something. I've got a
really big idea filming a live concert in three D.
And so it's not out until March next year. It's
a three something really different. And obviously James Cameron is
literally a visionary director. Do you know his story? After Titanic?

(06:59):
He stopped making movies because he was so frustrated how
technology wasn't moving fast enough with recording for his ideas.
So he just stopped to allow to get better. And
that's when he came back with Avatars.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Right to catch up to.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So he pitched this idea to Billy and I it's
going to be in three D. Now do you remember
when three D was the most with the future TV?
I brought a three D TV?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh wow, wow.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Forgot one of the big My wife still brings it up.
We got these special glasses now. And I was like
when the guy said, you know your sports fan, watch this,
and I watched this rugby game in three D and
I was like, oh my god, M's coached the ball terrible. However,
that was about twelve years ago. I'm gone some ten
years ago. So obviously Jimmy Cameron's and wait, you were

(07:46):
ahead of the curve, yes, James Karon. So yeah, he's
got this concert video.

Speaker 8 (07:50):
I can't wait. It'll be out in cinemas here in
Australia in March next. You can't wait for that. I
just love her as a role model for a mum
with a with a teenage daughter. You know, when I
grew up role models, Yeah, they were great, but you know,
you had to sort of comply by you know, you
had to be pretty and you had to be this.
Whereas Billy, you know, she just dresses with baggy clothes.

(08:10):
I think she's such You're right, I thought, I don't
like that.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, my daughter Lois absolutely loves her. I went to
see Billy. Did I think it was twenty eighteen or
twenty nineteen. I managed to basically barge my way into
the Nova.

Speaker 9 (08:23):
Red room and I took amazing and she.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Was starting killed it. There's only two hundred people there,
and it was just I got it. I didn't really
know what the fuss was about, and she was this
was like it would have been twenty eighteen, so Billy
was even younger. There. It was just like a kid, yes, right,
roughly the same age as my daughter on stage. But
she was unbelievable, not just that she had this natural
stage presence. She stopped the about two songs in she went,
can please put your phones down? Oh wow, she it's

(08:49):
really killing it for me, and it's killing it for you.
You don't just be here together and enjoy these songs.
And I was like, no, that's so cool. That realize
she's so you don't need to do that. Yeah, she is.
I think she's I think she used a real deal
as well. Do you remember when they had the live
performance when at the end of the they did the
big closing thing for the Olympics going and the handover
from Paris to Tom Cruise did the big thing, and

(09:10):
then they played on the beach and there was the
Chili Peppers there, and then there was Billy Eilish. I
thought Billy Irish was better than the Chili Peppers. She
looked like she'd had a load to do it. That
would give a lot of polo ralph lorrange gear. She
had on like oversized triple exales or rugby shirt on.
She looked like she said, Dad, haven't gone polo shirt, which.

Speaker 9 (09:30):
Is I just love her, but I love that and
that's okay. Whereas if I had have worn that in
the eighties, it what do you?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
You're right, Yeah, you would have got criticism.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
Be what you are and yeah, no, I think she's brilliant.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
So it's the documentary.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Good morning to glean Christian. I'm still enjoying Tony Martin's
Sizzletown podcast. Hilarious, good old fashioned sketch comedy. Tony Martin
works so hard on that podcast. He puts ours into it.
I am a big fan of Tony Martins. I used
to love Martin molloy. It's still got some of their CDs.
Come on to Richard Christner and joined it didn't There
was a Robin Hood series on Stan That's my weekend sorted. Christian.

(10:13):
My daughter also into Billie Eilish. We saw her do
an acoustic version of Michael Jackson's Bad that was so good.
I preferred it to the original. What and I've not
heard of this show. Loving All's Fair on Disney Plus.
Ryan Murphy's new stylized female divorce lawyer drama Episode six

(10:34):
dropped this week and it's stunning. Sarah Paulson outshines. I'm
not reading for the website. By the way, this is
one of our Megafan listeners. Sarah Paulson outshines a stellar
cast and Emmy's lock Now.

Speaker 4 (11:14):

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I've seen a four percent, but never zero. You got
I tell you what, though, you haven't put your name
on that. No one is saying in Amy's lock.

Speaker 4 (11:24):

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Wow or a lock in and you're drinking watching it.
But anyway, thank you very much for your recommendations. Now, Alex,
happy birthday, Thank.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
You, Christian, very special day.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yeah, birthday mate, thank you guys now listeners.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
The reason why there was an awkward silence says because
actually we're just fed up or hearing from Alex that
today is his birthday. It's like an only child who's
been this week. Yesterday he told everyone in the off
this is my birthday tomorrow. And an email last night
went to the team letting us know, guess what, it's
his birthday today?

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yes, wow, I'm in today with his own birthday. Hat on?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh no, come on, I'm surprised he's not been using
the sport to go four sleeps ago into my birthday.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
It's about five until the next ASHES test.

Speaker 10 (12:16):
But I thank you also to Pats, who bought me
a nice little bottle of champagne ride this morning.

a game now, Rio Pats to myself, how old do

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Oh this is great. Forty four close?

Speaker 1 (12:52):

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Right? Said by that you mean never done a day's
work in his life.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
These hands are soft, my friendess. No callous is here.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh god, that's why he left. That channel was a
lambo man. It was right hand o man, all right?
So moving on? Any who's the happy birthday? Who is going?
It is our radio station's Christmas party tonight. Now, when
I first moved here, I made the mistake of going
to it once and never again. I just actually snuck

(13:30):
out the back and it's never came back. It was
I've seen people ruin careers years ago at Christmas parties.
What incredible is? An email went round this week and
it goes around every year about seventy two hours before
it reminding people how to behave Now I'm thinking, who

(13:51):
is this for? What scoundrel was going to get up
to Shenanigan's maybe have an affair tonight and all it
took was an email to set him straight.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
That reeks of maybe an incident. Petrina Jones, you've been
here longer than.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
We have it.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
She batted five barman and three bounds. She too was
like John Wick, I haven't.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
Been to a work Christmas party and well over.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Because you're not allowed to.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
No, not because I'm bad at all.

Speaker 8 (14:22):
Usually coincides with end of year school dance theater.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
You'd be able to be going to that, aren't you.

Speaker 8 (14:29):
Oh, this is too busy, this is too much. My
dance card is full up to Christmas Rio.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I bet you and Kitlyn are going.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
The whole team will be there free drinks. Are kidding me?
Of course?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Well, now you've got a mortgage, you can't afford to
go out otherwise this is your social life this year.

Speaker 7 (14:45):
I'm going to be pocketing the drinks and taking them
back to our place.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
They didn't mention that not to do that on the email,
so why not.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Christian mentioned you brought a three D TV. I'd love
to hear from any other sucker that fell for that
about ten years ago, adding over good money what I
thought was cutting edge tech family. Family. I remember, I
think I brought six of these glasses. So enough of
the four of us, right, and two daughters, and my
wife and I and then any friends or family members
that might want to come around and see the future

(15:20):
in three D. I remember actually going to the cinema
and watching the three D version of the movie Up
Not right, okay, And do you remember Fantastic Beasts and
Where to find Them?

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, that in three D. I saw that in the
cinema in three D. That was a trip. It was.
It was a lot. It was because that's a lot
going on. It's a beautiful, lush movie anyway, but in
three D I'd love to see my nine o'clock morning.
Anyone else by a three D TV? Did they even
bring them here? Because I know you're a bit behind

(15:52):
in Australia by about sort of fifty years.

Speaker 7 (15:54):
You're certainly the only person I know that pulled the trigger.
I remember the technology existing, I don't ever remember seeing
it in someone's house. I remember them talking about back
in city. They were like, state of Origin is going
to be three D and you're gonna be able to
watch sport word in three D and it just never happened.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Well, when we need to pitch to both the big
codes AFL and NRL three D Grand Finals coming back,
I'm bringing it back.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
It's doing your living room right.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's literally the other guy sold it to me. Alex.
All right, this has been fun. Over the last seven
days we've been doing your regretation stories, your holiday from
house stories. I didn't realize everybody's got one some holiday
that just went bad. But some people have had We've
heard some really actually just sad stories. You know, they're
sort of like they say time plus comment, you know, sorry,

(16:44):
tragedy plus time equals comedy. I would say half the
stories we've had on air this week, and I'm really
talking to Tina here and the producer haven't had the
comedy bit where maybe in five years time we catch
up these people and go, is it funny yet? Because
there was one guy who just said when he thinks
about it, he shut his store.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
Yeah, the equation hasn't quite corrected itself yet.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, I think, which is a bit too soon. It's
two soon for some of these people to laugh. Anyway,
Let's play Rio's terrible take on shocking. I blame myself.
I blame myself and Tina again for that one.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Time holiday regrets. Oh it's good, I've had a few.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
This is three D. This is what this is.

I'm sinny monopoly board. Well listen, congratulations. It was a
hell of a story. And that shinning line when you

thousand least the world, the universe can give this poor man, Scott.

experience in London. I'll tell you what I'll tell you
what I do, Scott is when you're near it to

itinerary of some places that people don't normally go to

about a billion.

don't think we've ready.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Ohay, this is birth based on so many rock legends.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Better than Freddie Mercury. That's one nil zanza Bar.

Speaker 7 (22:04):
They are also claim to the shortest war in history,
the Anglo Zenziba War of eighteen ninety six lasted just
thirty eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Oh my word, wow, it's like next week's ashes. I
say one thing about Australian cricket team, very weak backs.
You've got Pat Cummins, Kuwaja I mean, you've got very
weak back team will be back, you know. I don't
worry now about these backs next week. I'm praying. Actually,
I'm putting pins and all the players backs.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
They're an older team, so they are prone to the
sort of old man injuries, hobbling around Like.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I tell you what, old men they seem to do
right in polishing off. Thank god you haven't got young
guts around and real, what's your last Zanzibar fact?

Speaker 7 (22:47):
The world's stinkiest monkey species is found in Zanzibar.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Is that true? Now? What is that stink species?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Locals call it kima Punju, meaning poison monkey due to it. Sah,
you know it's.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
A skunk of monkeys.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes, all right. Some emails. Jackie has been to Zanzibar.
Christian a bit to Zanzibar. It was our honeymoon destination.
This is a hell of an email. It was the
surprise honeymoon. I didn't know I was going anywhere until
I arrived at the airport to find my husband's standing
there with boarding passes.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Incredible.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Zanzibar was an absolute adventure, to say the least. Our
first couple of Knights was in a wait for this
be in mind. This is supposed to honeymoon. Our first
couple of Knights was in a backpackers resort. No one's
idea of a honeymoon is a backpackers resort. Just people
getting hammered and up to all kinds of shenanigans. That

(23:45):
had two honeymoon sweets. I've never seen a backpack resort
with honeymoon sweets. Let me just give it a break
down the detail for these honeymoon's sweets. No glass on
the windows, just chicken wire.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
My husband booked you into romance.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
We had all the locals passing by, including camels, stopping
for a nibble on the palm trees outside our room.
The couple next door, also newly where had a toilet
leak on the first night and they had to keep
using ours. Knocking on the door, Christian. I've also been
to Zanzibar and kj's five days they're back in two
thousand and eight. It wasn't really relaxing on the ferry

(24:24):
to Zanzibar, basically a vomit comet. However, did you know
it's the birthplace of all together now? Freddie Mercury, Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yes, I've just found somebody else who also forked out
good Money for No Good Thing. That's a feature next week,
and that Good Money for No Good Thing number one
on that list. Three day three D TVs finally found
another sucker who fell for it. Chris Christian ized. I
brought and still use what the LG three D TV? Chris,

(24:56):
that was exact what I got. I still got the
guy asses the other day, sady and not filming anything
in three D anymore. We need to bring it back.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
But are they who's making any contin You.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Know what, when we go national, I'm going to start
advertising it now, the Christian O'Connor show in three D.
Let's not do anything. But it just sounds snazzy, doesn't it. People?
Have you heard he's going national and he's doing his
radio show in three D? I could hear people spreading that.
Am I going? How they tune in? Tune in and

(25:30):
you're going to hear the show now in glorious it's
they move on from Dolby. I'll tell you one thing.
Someone the other day said that there used to be
a thing in Australia called mystery flights. Yes, oh, what
was that you'll know about this?

Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, so people would perhaps give someone a present of
a mystery flight and you wouldn't know where you were
going until you turned up to.

Speaker 9 (25:53):
The airport scenes.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
In factly, the guy was telling me he went on
a mystery flight and they didn't even tell them when
they took off, from telling him where they were going. Yeah,
until suddenly was like, oh is that adelaide? I wonder
they kept it. Don't tell them, don't tell them? Wait,
so it is the.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Whole flight a mystery flight or one person?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
No, no, no, I think it used to Big thinks.
So here's the idea. I think we need to do
this next week on next year on the show where
we do the Mystic Travel Agent, where we don't we
say to me, we've got a load of trips. We
don't tell them where they're going. They win, they win,
they have to scream. They don't even know where they're going.
Still scream you've won the trip. Scream louder, Scream louder.

(26:33):
Then we tell them where they're going. They're good trips,
but they don't know what they've won, but they win.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
That is awesome.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
We should definitely do that.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Maybe we say you've won, then we tell them. An
hour later, we call them back and go, have you
calmed down from winning that mystery trip? Let's now talk
about where you're going? Trust involved in that huge amount?

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Would you buy your own ticket on a mystery flight?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
And then you go, yeah, this guy did. Yeahs like
the kind of excitement of not knowing where they're going
in a bit of an adventure. I think it's a
great idea.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Wow, that is so cool.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, let's do some of that next year. Morning, Christian,
what are the chances story? I propose to my wife
in Zanzibar? I had to cow the engagement ring around
in my short pockets for eight weeks on an African
overland trip with a safety pin that's actually good idea,
managed to stab my hand multiple times. And I did
a surprise proposal on a hotel balcony. No scar in Zanzibar, though, However,

(27:30):
what are the odds I have been to Zanzibar? And
the other thing Rio mentioned in his song about matcha Peachu,
My twelve year old daughter left a pair of purple crocs.
Hats your matcha pach? Yes, more to the story. If
you'd like to hear team called Pats. What a cliffhanger, Christian.
This is from Melissa. I used to be an international

(27:51):
flight attendant. Brackets, trolley, Dolly, those are not my words.
Those are Melissa's. Based in the Middle East. We flew
to Zanzibar regularly. Christian, need to take the team and
do the show live from San in three d I'd
love to do it. Let's make it happen. It's on
our wish list for next year. Lauren is on the line.
Good morning, Lauren, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 11 (28:12):
Good morning, Christian.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
How are you. I'm good. You had a good week. So, Lauren,
you've been to Zanzibar? I have.

Speaker 11 (28:18):
And Ria's song makes me giggle because my friend actually
got a scar.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
In the.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
What are the odds?

Speaker 6 (28:26):
So?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
And everyone's raving that. It sounds like a beautiful place.
Oh it is.

Speaker 11 (28:30):
It's incredible. It's just exactly what you'd expect, Blue skys,
you know, white fans, just beautiful, but typical Africa. They
do things a bit differently, but just it's lovely.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
And so what were you doing there? Were you on
a booze cruise?

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
So, just no better way than travel the world. You know,
there are so many celebrities doing travel shows. I'm going
to pitch one to all the major networks. Christian O'Connor
gets drunk abroad. This is me staggering, being thrown out
of bars.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
A really culturally enriching experience.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
And experience any culture is drunk, I.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Think nursing yourself in a boozer.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Have you been on a Moos cruise?

Speaker 7 (29:10):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Wow? It was sort of an archaeologist, what was a
cruise like? It was really fun.

Speaker 11 (29:23):
There were no rules and so of course we were
allowed to jump off into the ocean.

Speaker 12 (29:26):
We were swimming and all the rest.

Speaker 11 (29:29):
But of course when we came back there was no
pr so we had to jump into the water to
get back to shore. And my friend landed on a
stag urchin. Oh yes, so she cut up the poisonous.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Spikes in Oh my god, what happened?

Speaker 11 (29:42):
Well, luckily, one of the girls in the troupe was
a nurse, so I'm not entirely sure what she did,
but I can still picture my friends sitting there with
these black spikes in the fort in agony.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
But yeah, because if you don't.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
You mentioned one of those things someone's meant to urinate
on on the womb to sterilize at the ammonia or something.
I remember, anyone, That's what that man told me when
I start.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
You gotta stop peeing on Wouin's Christian, I've told you
over and over again, said.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
It was my uncle.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It was a Scout leader. Anyway, that's so confusing. Anyway, Lauren,
thank you very much his story. Have a great weekend
when we return Monday, guys, Let's do what have you
Stood on? It's just my literally idea of hell anytime
I go into the sea is that there's something unpleasant
under their Australian that's going to shoot some venomous spike

(30:39):
into me. Yeah, let's do that Monday on the show.
Then what have you stood?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
On the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Christian, what are the odds? You talk about the mystery
flights that used to be a thing. We did one
of those and we actually did end up in Adelaide. Guys.
I'm just coming up with some working titles for this
new travel show that I'm gonna be pitching to all
them a major networks. Why I go traveling around the
world gam drinking. Basically, I've got the booze Traveler sip

(31:09):
happens and excuse me, is this the pub.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Happens?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
All right? So just emailing channel seven? Now okay, well listen, guys,
what's everyone up to this weekend? Rio? You must be
moving this weekend. You picked up to the keys to
your new place, your first place on Monday.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
Yes, we've got the big move. They're here in half
an hour, so I always taking to the end the show.
Don't worry, but we have hired well down.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The other guy would have put it off.

Speaker 9 (31:36):
Now gone by.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Now okay, God the gumption and this guy Pat's we
got the wee bat. The right goy is happy to
do a solid shift every day up until nine. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
So you're welcome. Now we've gone with a company.

Speaker 7 (31:53):
I'm not sure of the name, but they're a queer
removalless company and there it's fully run and operated by
queer people.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
What a great idea, Yes, I think, do you hear, Patsy?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
They just go no, I'm just imagining.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
It's probably like little hot Pa.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Moving a piano. Are they.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
Well, we're actually discussing. We're like, we're hoping because the most.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Well you said to me the other day, I just
I'm just not sure they're going to be strong enough.
These are your people real.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Well, no, I do mind. My preference is that we
get lesbians because lesbians are the.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Most official and also lucky in the audio. But you
said that's coming out seven o'clock on Monday show. My
preference is that we get the lesbians. Out of context,
we will go what did you just say? They're so efficient?
Why do you think that the gay ladies would be
better than the gay guys?

Speaker 7 (32:47):
Well, firstly, stereotypically, they also move in very quickly with
each other, so they're used. It's within the community. Trust
to be trusted is fast movies. They are fast movers.
That's why they'd be perfect for removaling.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I haven't I haven't booked the remover this yet yet,
and we're moving in ten days time. That I'll tell
Did you put word out in the community? Yes, my
wife said to me today, can you can you sort
this out? So I'll do it as a surprise.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Well, you're an ally, so I'm sure they'd be happy.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
To help you.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Right, Okay, So the community knows I'm a friend of
the Gates.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Yes, everyone knows that.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh geez, a friend of the Gates. I don't even
put them to google lesbian movers, sir, It's not what
it looks like. I'm just booking them to do the packing.
So the guys are coming around in half an hour.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yes, they're coming at eight. So my partner I almost
want it.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I almost want to come around and meet them.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah, I'm sure they'd love to meet you. Friend of
the games.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Words out on the street. So you intended to help
them at all?

Speaker 4 (33:58):
No, I think that's their job is to move starfs.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
So what are you actually going to do? Just go
home and watch them. That's even creepier.

Speaker 7 (34:05):
We went a couch and watch them and they'll be
moving it. No, I'll just I don't know, do doing
my own thing. That that's what you pay the removalists
to remove your stuff, right, Do.

Speaker 9 (34:13):
They unpack as well or just me?

Speaker 4 (34:15):
No, they're just going to dump it in the living room.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
In the living room, throw it in the.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Front coaze unpacked the boxes.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
See I'll tell you how they go absolutely anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
All right, Patsy, what have you got on this weekend?
It's a big one with your daughter, A big one.

Speaker 8 (34:35):
We've got stage school end of view performance, So two
hours of an extravaganza in Sint Gilda tomorrow. It's fantastic.
You would even if your kid wasn't in it, you
would pay money to go and see it. It is
seriously so professional. Stage School Australia is the group if
you've got kids that.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Are into Honestly, the shows are high end. One of
the girls did one of those shows, like you said, Patsy.
It's incredible. It's like a proper performance and the kids get.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
So much they love it.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
Highly invested staff, highly motivated staff, and she absolutely just
been she loves it.

Speaker 9 (35:10):
And her group is doing Xenadu, which I'm.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Very thrilled about it.

seventy Christmas party.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Oh, you're in for a big one. What about our
Christmas party? I didn't wow?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Get out of it? You this? Oh my words? Just
remember who picked you up when you were homeless a
couple of months ago under none of the networks.

Naked as my mother would save hunts with the foxes
and the hounds. This time great phrase, bread's buttered.

Speaker 5 (36:38):

Hopefully so fingers.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Grossed Christian O'Connell show, Gone Podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
Christian Mick. Here you're talking about mystery flights. That used
to be a thing I hadn mate that used to
play what he called travel lotto. This is a great idea. Well,
he would just go and pack, go to the airport
and then buy a ticket for the next domestic flight
anywhere where it was going. Using his method, he has
visited most of aust What a great way to go traveling.

(37:24):
I love that, Anthony. We need to do something next
year about this whole mystery travel and travel loto. That's
a great idea. All right. So every Friday on the
Christian O'Connor Show, we do the People's play This will
we give you a theme and you pick the songs.
Let's get into this week.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
They were listening and calling and choose in the music and.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
Just when hit eh, somebody paying the station, Charlie play
the People's play Listen Christian.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Calling right now and help Christian bing the songs for
Friday show.

Speaker 1 (37:56):

mashed potatoive, Sacha, bott and over oh crunk, hardcore crunk. Yeah,

(38:24):
like Patsy, what song are you going for? Let me
get abba.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
Dancing the words right out of my mouth.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, the Leopards and the Eagles, as my mamma used
to say.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
Funny fact for you this way. This is outrageous, so
I almost didn't believe it when I read it.

Speaker 8 (38:43):
Apparently the group was paid in oil by Russia for
a concert they did in the Soviet Union.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Come on, these are normally bang on, these ones, these
these facts are normally like, they're always top tier. This one.
You know what, They're giving them.

Speaker 9 (38:58):
Oil, giving them barrels of oil.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
There's no way that happened.

Speaker 9 (39:01):
How would they get that, What would they want?

Speaker 1 (39:02):
What would you do with like eighteen liters of oil
around your house in drums?

Speaker 4 (39:07):
They're not really oil retailers, so they couldn't true facts.

Speaker 8 (39:13):
It's a bit like do you remember Alex will remember this?
Roger Federer when he won his very first Wimbledon was
given a cow at a tournament in Switzerland.

Speaker 9 (39:23):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's not the same thing. He wasn't given a load
of cow text oil, yes, fell around its neck.

Speaker 9 (39:31):
Remember just the weirdest gift or yes, that you're anointed with.
But they were given oil.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
So there multimillionaires and they're going to negotiate a deal
where they're paid paid in crude.

Speaker 9 (39:42):
Oil, paid in crude oil.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Just got to get this to the refinery.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
We are.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Going to pay off anny other one at the back.
And they won on the right.

Speaker 8 (39:53):
So they knocked back to what was it to billion
bucks or whatever it was to reform once upon a time.
But they'll take the oil from Russia's.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Not a fact. I actually think it's defamation. I want
to see you in court going up against Abba. What
a great plot twist that would be twenty twenty six,
this station served with a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Who would have to pay them when we lose in oil?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
In w forty? All right? Rio, watsed your song dance
or dance adjacent in the title?

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Back in two thousand and five.

Speaker 7 (40:30):
This was my MySpace profile song, which is the highest
honor you can give a song. Istic monkeys, I bet
that you look good on the dance floor.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
And that was a great Friday song. They once did
a gig where they were paid in Alan snakes Alex's
birthday boy, what is the song you want on Happy birthday, Stevie, wonder.

Speaker 10 (41:10):
No no, this one is this song very close to
my heart because the film clip was shot very close
to where I grew up at a little tiny pub
in outback New South Wales, the Korinda Pub.

Speaker 5 (41:20):

Speaker 10 (41:24):
Was filmed here as yeah, now that's a good fat

a word style related to dance in the title. So
on Tuesday this week we weren't here. We all flew
to Sydney and we filmed our TV advert for this
show for Jenuine next year and our show going national.
It was very exciting and there are about, I don't

(49:24):
know thirty forty odd extras. It was it was. It
was a big shoot and there was a lovely girl
there who is playing a mum, a busy mum in
this advert. And she sat down at lunch time with
me and the team and we were like, you know,
who are you? And she's basically I get a lot
of extra work as mum on crack and she hoovers

(49:47):
up I mean, she ruled up like ten adverts she's
booked this year and she was really really funny. She's
very very funny. But that's that sort of household mum.
So I, oh my god, I've just joined the Dots.
We filmed that advert Tuesday and our head of marketing
quit yesterday. I think that's to do. Pats. What's the words?

(50:10):
Do you remember that word you used? Rea? Was it
wooden you said about Pats?

Speaker 4 (50:13):
I said she looked glamorous. No, no, I'm Patty. I
would never say that.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
No, he said, don't stand too close so we get splinters,
said old wooden top Pats there n No, he's got
this this one. But anyway, what are we talking about here? Extras?

Me, When I was about twelve years old in my
hometown of Cannable and regional New South Wales, Peter Russell
Clark came to film a cheese ad.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Well they found the right guy.

Speaker 10 (51:07):
My mother was in the two and, like most of
the town was in this ad in the main street
of my hometown. Peter Russell Clark. Old listeners know him,
one of probably our first ever famous chef in this country,
Peter Russell Clark.

Speaker 12 (51:19):
And so what was it?

Speaker 10 (51:20):
What was the advert? It was for cheer cheese and
what were you doing? I was just languishing in the background,
really just lingering, loitering.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
Not douster at number three.

Speaker 10 (51:31):
Yeah, it was a long time ago, but my mum
had a bigger role. I think she was like said
something to Peter Russell Clark. I can't remember now, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I was just saying to him like, hey, great cheese,
what would the dialogue be?

Speaker 5 (51:45):
I got no way.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Alex the cheese Man's in town.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
This was Alex's big break and then Channel seven.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Young boyd and he got discovered me in the background
there is I think mum got paid but I didn't,
so I was a bit upset about. You know what
she got paid in cheese?

Speaker 5 (52:04):
So much cheese?

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Ri, are you ever doing any extra work?

Speaker 4 (52:09):

Krishna was an extra This is Glenda in the mini

pretty sure William h Macy was in that as well.
I got stuck in a lift with him at Flemington Racecourse.

(53:06):
Whereas being filmed forty eight takes later, Lovely Man, brilliant actual, Yeah,
great actor. Christian was an extra in a Jenny Craig

(53:30):

about twenty tenneling Oars and I made the banner punching
above your weight.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
We wanted.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
We waited all day on this table and.

Speaker 6 (55:23):
I'm talking we got there at six and we didn't
get out till about two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
They were all models on the table next to us,
and me and another guy going how good was this body?

Speaker 6 (55:32):
If we're working with these chicks, and then it's then
to come out that we're going to be punching about
of our weight, like you couldn't pull a chick like this.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
One guy crassed him and he said no, and he
said I can pull away sort of women if I want,
so I'm not being part of this and he left.
And I've looked at him and you with models, and
we're going to get pretty.

Speaker 6 (55:52):
Deer, and.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Wow, I mean what a protest. I mean that he
really would have shown those VP commercial directors or two.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
And the worst bit of funny. One of the other
funny bits about it is I always helped my dad
pull down his back fence. And the the girl that
I was a model with me on the ad. She
actually lived right behind my dad never even knew.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
That.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
I said, you've seen the ad, Dad, that's her, and
he goes, oh, I knew she was at track you so.

life as well.

I believe I would have tried if I if good times,
I mean makes and I will call me up during
the cricket because they did it in the Ashes that
year and that's where they launched it. And you don't
