I Heart Podcasts. You can hear more gold when I

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Good Morning, Rio, Happy Wednesday, Good morning, Patsy Morning, Good morning,
Alex Color, Good morning. Team. After yesterday's performance, let me
just say this very strongly, step up, be professionals and
shows up. Guys, shows up. Am I talking to a
couple of people in particularly Rio. Yes, Sam, but I'm
looking at you because I'm not talking to you. But

(00:47):
I don't want to single people out a little bit
right around the edges Rio, would you agree with me?
There was just some performers. There were some moments and
I used to a performers in ironic Italians performers.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
There were some moments that jumped out of yeah, for sure, please.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Bring them up. I prefer to be an expert.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well I am, thank you, But we're just team shows up.
So show up, guys, show up now. Team. Can I
just go around and check the alarm systems that we
have on the team, Alex, what do you have in place?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
I have my phone and answer to have the old
school analog alarm clock the one that goes and I
can't sleep. I can't go to sleep at night unless
I know that he's on and the battery is full
and it's.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Ready to roll. Yeah, even if you don't have OCD,
doing these hours where you really have to get up,
you know, because I always at six o'clock if I'm
not here, it's rude for the Christian show. Is he
in today? We're not. It's like pubbing into a shop
with that law. Note back soon. When's he coming back?
He asks us to get it from six am. At
least he can do is show up. But that that

(01:53):
thing at night time? How many times you check it?
It's never once, is it? And you're tied anyway, so
your brains are been in flames. You're like banging it
and your partner's going everything all right? Is anything I
can do to happen? Just stop talking? Just check the sequence, condown, sequence,
tapping again, hang on, but the light's got to go
on again in the batteries. When did I change the batteries?
So I've just got a little digital one that I

(02:15):
can touch during the night and it illuminates the ceiling.
I could bat sign love it for my wife. Just
to see it's just okaylight twelve O three yeah, A
three thirteen.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
I never want to know the type I wake up
in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I need to know. Then I can really really go
to town stress myself out back timing, doing complicating maths,
like if I go to sleep immediately, that gives me
one hour and nin minutes of sleep, And then you
lie there going, oh the hell does a human sleep?
Sometimes it frightens me, like it's a miracle sleep, isn't it?

(02:51):
How does it? And as you get older it becomes
more complicated. How you ever slept so effortlessly as a kid.
Kids never need to worry really after while about sleep.
They just sleep. They're sleeping cars or anything like that.
But it's suddenly at nighttime and not just going to sleep,
there's going to sleep. They're staying.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Sleep.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's the hardest bit, isn't it. Do you think it's
a parental thing. Do you think since you've become a
parent it's made it harder?

Speaker 8 (03:15):
Yeah, maybe because you're used to the interruptions, interruptions coming
in all It's like in a foxhole and there's artillery
coming in every night. You know, there's explosions, people just
suddenly arriving in the bed, leaving the bed.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's just chaos, absolutely careous. I remember in the first
couple of years of being a parent, when we had
the two girls and going to work was an act
of calm. No, no, no, no, I bet you get this patch.
I would close that door on Sarah and the girls
and just go. I do now, I think, because I
could control my own type. Yeah, and when you're a parent,

(03:51):
mum or dad, especially mums, you can't control your own time.

Speaker 9 (03:54):
Can No, you can't. And I find now that she's
a grumpy teenager. She could be quite feral in the morning.
I can say that because it's just after six years.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
But you're safe here. You leave that to your poor husband,
Gret And I think.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh, good luck, all the best. I'll hear about it
later today.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Life where Monday to Friday and not really them mornings.
I'll be the pace maker hero, evening time, bark time.
But in the morning the worst time. I think I've
done that school run eight times.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Ohe.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
The kids would get really anxious, because you know, I
like to be early everywhere. They were like, it's the
worst place early. It's a school you look like a square.
You just were like, oh, no, dad's doing it. That
means it's like military. Come on, girls. In fact, I
find you I'm selling your alarms a little bit earlier
so we can get there nationally less stressed. Like we're

(04:41):
not stressed. Mum's the only person stress normally when you're
not doing it. Yeah, so we'd always have to get
to school early.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I was unemployed for the
last six months, so I used to always have to
do the school run a lot of the time, and
that's a very very stressful time.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
People judge dads on school sadly they do. Here's everywhere, Yeah,
this is the kids here. Yes, I tried, Yeah, I
did my best. Yeah. So you've got a backup system
for the alarm.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Always always, and it saved me this morning. It saved me,
he slipped through the phone alarm.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah I did. So, I had the phone alarm for
four thirty five, right.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
I was, And I thought, I just like, for a second, no,
you can't do that, but I knew I had the backup.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
So then a ten to five the backup went off. No,
I see, now you got stressed and moment that alarm
goes my number one rule, and it's been another twenty
seven years. It's just just.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Move you get out, even if you're crying.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
And he's barely to someone who observed me going, is
he actually moving or is he frozen? It's barely perceptible,
and like I imagine, it's like when Nick Park makes
those Wallace and Grommus things. You know, he moves click,
moves click, and we wouldn't make it. That's what I am.
That's my waking up to his clamation.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Christian O'Connell shot gone podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
How many of you on the team there are? Now?
You U seeing chat, GPT or whatever one you use
pretty routinely?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yes, I do use. I'm finding it's a little bit
unreliable with flipt and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
But told me that Geronimo were playing the NRL Grand
Final and at a quick Google there's no mention of it.
So they announced it on chat GBT know where I
saw that home boy Alex would have that he's from
a Shepherd?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I thought, Christian, did you know nrol's got Shepherd slip dog?
And then there's absolutely nothing online.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
But non exclusive? Yes, where have you got that from
a tream?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think I saw on Instagram this morning that I
saw Shepherd and then a photo of the Grand Final.
But I don't know if it was just fake news
or an old post from twenty twenty or something, but
it's definitely not true, So definitely don't reduce that.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Alex right, you know more about NRL than us on
the team. Do you think the NRL a jeedous right
now of the Snoop Dogg thing because it got so
much talk yesterday. I know some people are like negative,
like we don't know any of his hits, but everyone's
talking about Snoop Dogg. Where it was. I remember a
couple of years ago it was the D's Grand Final
that they won. That's always going to have an asterix
by because it was over in Perth, no fans could

(07:08):
see it. And Shephard Blay, in fact, the only two
fans that could got arrested prison time Melbourne laughs. They
were the only fans that in prison time. I mean
that is a test of would you do time if
your club made it to a Grand Final? I mean
those two should have been heroes on b Wing wherever
they were.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Rolb Villa very jealous because look at the talk it's generated.
Look at the attention it now has on the AFL
Grand Final. I remember Maclamore did the NRL Grand Final
a few years ago, which drew a lot of attention,
a lot of really really good attention on the game
as well.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
But they'll be very jealous, definitely. I said, I saw
yesterday Andrew Dylon, you know, the big boss of AFL,
also said that he has it on good word from
Snoop Dogg. He's a Bulldogs fan. And then you know
what the internet is like. Someone found some old photo
of Snoop gold Coast? Is it deep fake? I don't

(08:06):
know what to believe. Is it Andrew did in line?
Has he come over to the Dogs? We need Snoop
Dogg on the show. And I have so many questions about.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
This the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
On my Team, just give me a list of famous
people and the AFL teams they support great. I was
just talking about how Andrew Dillon, CEO of the AFL,
yesterday actually issued a statement that was just about Snoop
dog Nothing new with Snoop Dogg and performances. How many
songs you're going to do that to clarify he's a

(08:39):
Bulldogs fan. That was the end of the statement. I
was actually thank you, Andrew. This is the most important
use your tied today because everyone's one and doesn't even
know about the game. You know, he might have seen
the video yesterday. Is obviously shot in the studio in America.
He's holding a Sharon. Obviously someone his agent on one
of his people's handed in this. This will play, This
will play very well down under how much are getting

(09:01):
paid for this? And then he goes he's a Bulldogs fan.
Christian Snoop posted in twenty sixteen. This is from a
die Bulldogs fan after the Bulldogs won the flag his
face on Bulldogs players and captioned it with western Snoop Dogs. Wow,
thank you for the intel. I love that. We need
to find that post actually anyway, all right, so obviously

(09:23):
since Kilda we've seen him at many games. Hemsworth is
a big fan. Chris Emsworth, Hugh Jackman. I didn't know
he's a West Coast Eagles fan.

Speaker 11 (09:30):
Oh, he's from Melbourne, from Sydney, went to Knox Grammar School,
al Gore.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I didn't know he was what's the most sustainable alco.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Way ahead of the time, talking about environmental concerns.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Maybe freemantal Dockers because of the wind, you know, environment.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
You're right, I wouldn't have him done as a pies fan,
but he is. I know, I know this is what
cost him the election, not the stolen votes. Mark ronson
Brilliant music producer Tigers. Oh that kind of fits weirdly.
Nick Jonas the Jonas Brothers, whats pies fan? Do you

(10:17):
know what? I think that most celebrities, Hollywood celebrities go
for the pies. Gene Simmons also did this move as well,
do you Wmder? We actually attended a pies game before
Kiss played. Chris Evans, Countain America Swans fan Nicole Nicole
Kitmanus fan on Melbourne broad Church Coming Nicole Margot Robbie

(10:45):

Okay, see that.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Sam Wortherton, fine Australian actser Fremantle, Ye see her?

Speaker 6 (10:54):
How would she see the game?

Speaker 10 (10:55):
I know?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, that's probably why she went for the Swans.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
From how dare she?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
What about the Crows? Simon Baker good actor and mainly
seen now see something making selling trying to sell in
over priced watch good look anyway, Fremantle, Okay, that makes
sense Kenny Clarkson, Oh, pick the team. I reckon, this

(11:23):

come on, and you found out who Obama goes for.

Speaker 3 (11:43):

Of course, American Eagle, right.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Ray Charles, Brisbane Lions.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Come on, that's a bit. That's actually, that's mild defense.
That's not the poor guy can't see.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
You can still enjoy the footy.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
You can hear the beautiful sound to be common.

Speaker 10 (12:09):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
It will come as no surprise to know that a
massive fan of Oasis. And over the weekend we had
to do one of those things. We had to go
through some bank statements for a mortgage application. All that
my wife goes, hang on a minute, we've been scammed.
You know you've got Oasis tickets. You've been charged twice.
I went knife tickets to go to the opening two nights.

(12:33):
She was like, want to go and see them do
exactly same songs? When yeah, yes, yes, that's what it
is to be a fan. Yes.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Wow, So you're gonna go.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Are you gonna go with different people? Are you just
gonna go by yourself?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Twice? I'm going with my wife and daughters in the
opening night, and then I have a plus one. Maybe
I'll take a listener. Now I have sad news to
deal Oasis. You know, a couple of weeks ago, we
sent Josh, the receptionist, to London, yes to see if
you get an exclusive interview with the band. He didn't. However,
he came back to work in the last couple of

(13:05):
days and as a small gift or letting him go
out there, he went to see Oasis and we flew
him back him business class. He gave me a gift
of an Oasis mug. Gave it to me Monday. I
was really moved by it. Went home. I showed my wife.
She goes, O God, my god, that's an amazing you
really look after that. Ah, this is all that's left
from it? This handle? Oh no, the Oasis mug, that's

(13:30):
all I got from it. I knocked it yesterday.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
How did you knock it?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
But I thought, do you know what, I'm not going
to drink tea out of this? I had one cup
of tea out of it. I thought, I'm not going
to have that because this could get broken. It really
upset me. I could put my favorite pens in it,
so I thought, I'm going to protect this. As I'm
drying it, the dog got in the way. I moved suddenly,
and an elbow dropped the mug and it just went
into a thousand piece. I looked. At first I thought was, oh,
it's crashed. I can put it together again. But then

(13:54):
it's into you know, and just something to shatters into
smithereens along with my heart. All I have left is
this Oasis scandal and much to do with it.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Just you can't do that Japan East thing, you know,
where they're like, yes, yes, it's supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Sunni when they put it back together, and actually the
scar tissue makes it more beautiful exactly. No, all I've
got is the handle again. Okay, it's cruel. It's cruel
that life just gave me the handle. Why couldn't this
also be shattered to me? I worked out I had
it for twenty three hours. Oh my god, don't even

(14:34):
have the handle. She must have got me a t
MoU mug. This thing is so weak, the handle's gone.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
It didn't drop that very hard.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I just I just placed it down it. That's a
basis is the daddy long legs of merch mugs. That
thing was oasis. Shame on, Josh, You're right he should
have protected us more lacking it with some varnos or something.
All right, let's get into dead or alive.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
I'm a celebrity.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
You haven't thought about it in the world.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Do you think it come.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Em dead or a line? It's a fun field game
to play on a breakfast show. I read out famous
people's names. The team try and guess, Wait, are they
dead or alive? It feels right to do this now
because just before the news Patsy barstoos the studio to
me and Rio when we were talking about various celebrities
a listers around the world and what footy teams here

(15:31):
in Australia they support, and really was talking about Ray
Charles been a fan of was it the Eagles Brisbane Brisbane?
The lines and Patsy's quickly goes Ray Charles is dead
and then gets in into news. I'd approach is I
asked for a professional behavior today and it was so good,
And then Rio just went already matter.

Speaker 10 (15:48):
For the bit.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Baking. No, you can get Ko's sports up there. On
the other side, he is loving it all right. So
we've almost jumped the gun on this one. Ray Charles
is dead. Guys breaking news this morning. Wow, here's the

a plot to ruin Audrey's desk in her bedroom last night.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
By the love God, I.

Speaker 9 (20:59):
Was cooking dinner and heard the ominous sound of the
handless is it is that what you call cordless dread?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
What will they think of next? It just hangs in
the air like a ghost trade issues. It's Poulter trading.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
And I thought, oh, what's going on up there?

Speaker 9 (21:20):
And he was about he was trying to mount the
power dirty song power bank.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Sometimes a man can get some frustrated.

Speaker 10 (21:27):
It was.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
To it was trying to mount what the power bank
to the side of her desk, because it was on
the floor and you know, she kept tripping over it.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
He said, if I put it, if I.

Speaker 9 (21:39):
Just mounted up there on the side, it's neatly out
of the way. And I said, no, you can't be
drilling into her.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Good not that the desk electrics strong sort of duct
tape or something like that.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
I would have gone there.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
I suggested that, and he said, no, I don't have
any gaffer tape. I need a more permanent solution.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
You've got some of the boot having it with all
the weapons of destruction, loads of that stuff. Don't you have?

Speaker 6 (22:04):
Oasis?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Cellers mentioned about are losing, losing, lose, and this is
all I've got left in Oakes as far that made
it all the way back from London as a gift.
I've just got half a handle. This is the flimsy
cheapest MUK ever, is it is? Alex? How's your week
going so far? You up or down?

Speaker 5 (22:21):
I'd give it a six and a half out of ten.
A little bit down because you know, we were lulled
into a false sense of security. We had nineteen degrees
a few couple of days ago.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm sorry, the weather here is good enough for here?
Is it? Sydney friends.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
We've been We've been sort of saying to our Sidney friends,
Oh the weather's fine here, great, the lost, lovely, amazing
Sunday as well, and then Jane Bunn, the Seven News mediaorologists,
joltice back to reality. A couple of days ago, Oh,
twelve degrees on Saturday, thirteen degrees Sunday, freezing cold.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Today we are technically still in winter and we're coming
out of it. But what do you want, Sydney boy?
I want some nice weather.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Consistency teased at the moment, I kind of know what
you mean, because it's still it's.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Still a great it's a great light. I think this
is an easier winter it's been.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
It's been pretty good.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
But oh my god, looks the oysters are better in
Sydney and where there's bad, why don't you just go
and move in together in the palace there. Don't tell
you what.

Speaker 5 (23:20):

cresses and one roller boot. It was just that, one
lone roller boot in the wind for some one legged
person that fatsies take.

Speaker 3 (28:43):

The Christian O'Connell Show.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Podcast Christian Talia. There's always someone in the relationship who
accidentally disposes of some fashion faux pas of their partner.
Sarah does this a lot with me? Which ones? I
bought pair of shoes a couple of months ago, right
that I thought were cool. They were the exactly the
same ones that Steve Martin wears. You know, I love

(29:38):
Steve Martin, he wears in What is the Brilliant Show?
That I love Only murders in the building, exactly the same.
I wore them out once and suddenly my wife saw
my feature. Oh my god, what the hell of those
decent Steve Martin rockstis? She was, Oh my god, No,
it's too late to change them. Just keep your feet

(29:58):
under the table anyway, those gots. You know, Trump is
obviously just removing people and shipping them around the world.
She employed Malloyd, I say, agents to remove my shoes.
They just disappeared, she said. She doesn't know where they are,
but I know they're probably. Can you go to that
shop that you went to THEYD. We wear that awful
quadrant mat course of yours, the catman do thing. Oh,

(30:20):
this is Steve Martin shoes. We've had no take as
some other white head eighty year old octagenarians, but there
is there's always someone who throws the stuff out in
an accident. And I guess you do you do this, Patsy?
Or does Chris get with your stuff?

Speaker 10 (30:35):
Maybe?

Speaker 9 (30:35):
I got rid of his very favorite T shirt from
when he was like eighteen, one of his surfing T shirts,
and I just thought, like it had holes and everything
in it.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
No, but it's a perfect thing. And it's like what
you've worn yourself.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Your T shirts with holes in that you don't really
wear these days, but they must, they must always be there.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
I loved it.

Speaker 9 (30:53):
He might even have worn it under a shirt like
and it had sentimental value and I.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh, nice of you to see that and just been
it anyway.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh, I just thought, you know, I was pretty old.

Speaker 10 (31:03):
It's long in the tooth.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
He's done with that, it goes in the bin. Yeh
that that was not good?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh god?

Speaker 12 (31:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
All right, So the big news yesterday was all about
Snoop dog The entire country is talking about Snoop dog
playing live at the Grand Final yesterday. On the News,
Tony Jones he's not a fan of Snoop Who knew
that crusty old guy having a take where he doesn't
approve of something he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Understand welcoming Snoop Dogg's biggest critic, Tony.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Giants, it's a stupid call.

Speaker 10 (31:39):
I'm sorry, but you need someone there. You won't go
to the Grand Final? Yeah, I'll go to the Grand
File the entertainment.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
You might be bouncing to drop it like a think
if you're going to pay a.

Speaker 9 (31:48):
Lot of money to bring someone in from overseas, actually
have someone that everyone can relate to, not a certain demographic.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
So no, I know it's none of the other. Gut
that's lot followed up with what do you mean by certain?
Really want to have a hot take? What is that name?
What you're you don't want to name there? What is
exactly you're saying where Tony. When you say something demographic,
do you mean people around the world who knew who
they do know who he is? He is a world brand.
He might not like the music, that's fine, but he
was Like NBC hired him to do alternative Olympic commentary

(32:19):
last year and it was huge. Adlas look on Spotify
he averages thirty seven million streams a month. He sold
forty five million albums, but that was in the day
when they were actually sold units of that. In terms
of a certain demographic, do you mean people that are
more popular than Utah And why would.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
We need Tony Jones's take on Oh My God, barely
take on sports?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yes, he's not the new Molly Mail trup Hey, Triple J.
You just found a new hot one hundred count Down
the next year host in Tony. Anyway, everyone's talking about it.
I tell you what, I want him on the show
the week he's here. Everyone's going to is going to
be talking about it over the next couple of weeks.
And also we'll all be watching see what's it going

(33:02):
to be like? Because they've been wild hit missus. We've
got no idea what it's going to be like. But
it will be Mesmeriz to watch it. And I'm guessing
for because Channel seven on the broadcast partner and I
obviously spend billions to get the rights. They've never had
to say in who this is because they'd be worried
about ratings. And they make a fortune for all of
those big because a lot of companies make big special
adverts for to be in the Grand Final, and so

(33:24):
I'm guessing that they will insisted that also to play
to all of Australia. There's some familiar faces joining Snoop
as collaborations. What do we think now? Tina Reena was
wheeled out last year? Wasn't She would have been good
actually for the Bogans, right, So are they going to?
Is Tina back dew to goodrum By Bone and.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Snoop barnsy and Snoops? I like it's got the sort
of gravelly barnsy it's with Snoop.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Silky over the top Jasic mow boy. Now, yesterday we
sent Josh the receptionist out onto the streets of Melbourne
to track to people do the new Snoop Dog was
and could the name any of his hits? Thankfully he
didn't bump into Tony.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
And Australia speaks loud and clear.

Speaker 10 (35:31):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
In the shading through. All the emails have come in
overnight during the day yesterday, I saw a lovely one
from a doctor who read my book and he sent
me a lovely email about my book and my story
of moving here and all that. And then I noticed
at the end I was doing this lovely email and
everything he had to say about it, he signed off
with a way too casual b W.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
I never I'm not familiar with b W.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I'm not either, I thought, any thing? Is it English reference?

Speaker 7 (36:00):
Be?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Well, oh yeah, you couldn't. You couldn't do the extra
few letters b W. It talk to me about connection
and then bops me up with the camera. I opened
my eye into a book, share my heart with you,
and who we get is a BW. I bw'ed him.
Can you eye those apples? The BW? Is that a thing? Now?

(36:24):
You can't even say he's a doctor as well. We
might have to go. He's got time to write our
big email then finish it off. Well, only it takes
what another second BW doesn't need shortening. It's up there
with mate doodle bro way too casual. All right. Two

(36:44):
ways you can get your stories on the show between
now and A and the number is thirteen fifty five
twenty two. I was gifted an Oasis mark Monday. It
came all the way from London and I didn't even
have a twenty four hours. I broke it yesterday. I
will say this, this was a flimsy mug. I brought
in all that was left of it today, which was

(37:04):
the handle, and I placed it down here off to
talk about it on the show and literally plays to
onto an A four pad and it crumpled again like
a daddy long legs.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
It's almost like a prop mug.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, that's why I don't think this is an official
merch one, Josh, Yeah, all the way back business class
and you get me a mug, probably from a dodgy
cells going down an alleyway somewhere a backstreet of London.
Oh no, I've got it's half a hand all right
now My waitis mug anyway, the phone in you only
had it for a couple of hours. I was so

(37:36):
happy to get this waissmuk. I barely had it twenty
three hours.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
You messaged the group chat yesterday, so sad about it?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Still sad. I opened the bin this morning and organ
see was the o of Oasis. The rest of it
shattered into a thousand pieces, as if it was some
ancient minvas flim. This mug was never going to last
more than one or two SIPs. I don't think he
can even contained hot drink. But anyway, you only had
it a few hours. I'd love to speak to it.

(38:05):
But even when they've I'm sure we've had stories before
where people picked up brand new cars and driven it
like not even a k and they've crashed it.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Oh that's my worst.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
That's almost as bad as my Oasis mug. It's damn
close close by, no cigar. You only had it a
few hours before I got damaged or broken. Thirteen fifty five,
twenty two. And then you your story is about your
story about that hideous.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Beautiful, beautiful item of clothing.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Of the four quadrant special.

Speaker 3 (38:32):

Speaker 1 (39:40):
You know what team I think we're going to. It's
going to accidally get thrown out tomorrow. You're on the show.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Anyway. My boyfriend accidentally.

Threw it out that, and there was us thinking that
gay people had more style. I'm going to do my
own show, Straight Eye, Straight Eye for the gay guy.

a nicer country road T shirt for you guys as
well to wear.

Okay, I would accessorize you tomorrow. I accept the challenge.
Get ready to meet a nice new shirt with your
name on it.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
I look forward.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Oh, I make those eyes pop. Anyway, it got accidentally
thrown out and you only had it a couple of
hours thirteen fifty five twenty two. I think we'd lost
our weight there. I'd actually forgot what we were asking
the audience. I was getting excited about, Oh what shirt
will a bit for Rio?

Speaker 10 (40:36):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
You only had it a couple of hours, Christian, I
can top twenty three hours to your Oasis smig before
you broke it lasted thirty minutes. I bought a card
GPS Similos back in the day. Yeah, yeah, that big
old thing, And honestly, Tom Toms, yeah from office works,
got home unpacked, and I accidentally dropped it on the floor.
The screen cracked. Oh no, oh no, rich Alex, you

(41:03):
got a story about it. Only lasted a couple of hours.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
In my family, no one let anything near me because
I'd always break it. Excuse me, so I'd like I
broke a saw once. Mom just brought a brand new sword.
I snapped it in half. I don't know how, I know,
just feler everywhere. I broke the neighbor's motorbike, his motorbike stand.
I somehow sat on it and snapped off. That didn't

(41:27):
go down well.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
But also Dad he got this.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Pump fixed this this water pump kind of crucial for
a house on a farm, and he got it fixed up,
and I went to town to pick it up.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
And I'm driving home. I was sort of in that
age where you sort of.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
Get a bit larry, you start to drive a bit fast,
you know, went round a corner, fishied a bit, pump
flies off the back of the truck.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Oh my god, pump smashes into about ten piece. No,
you're kidding. Did you think about this? Driving away? Just
hanging out I was like, oh no, what do I
do in this situation?

Speaker 5 (41:58):
And it's just like he's just arrived at the scene
and he's just looking around, going what.

Speaker 10 (42:03):
Have you done.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
So much money getting the thing fixed? I'm like, I'm sorry, Dade.
All right, let's get to Gary now. Good morning, Gary,
Welcome to the show mate, Thank.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
You, good morning. When I finished my apprenticeship as a
chef many years ago, my bosses a reward, gave me
a bottle of Graine Hermitage, and proud as punch, took
it home to my two flatmates, twisting and tails and said,
oh you told them what it was for, and so
on another happiest pigs in mud. And I put it

(42:33):
under my bed and came back. Came back the next
night after working, and I found the two of them
sitting at the kitchen table drinking it out of a
coffee cup.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Pamdfols Crange is about sort of eight nine hundred dollars
a box. It was like the premiere wine in Australia.
It's wide the record is one of the best wines
in the world.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Yeah, absolutely, this is a N seventy. It's probably worth
about sixteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Now they more than that. They go for thousands.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah, oh god a coffee cup?

Speaker 12 (43:03):
Oh I drinking it out of a coffee cup?

Speaker 1 (43:06):
You must have been sackly twisting tails and pressed.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
Did you finish it?

Speaker 7 (43:11):
So?

Speaker 1 (43:11):
What are you doing that?

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Do you just cut your losses and it all?

Speaker 7 (43:15):
I all I got to do was sniff the coffee cups.
That and after abusing them left, right and center, twisting tails,
twisty in tails, Yes, Twisty got up to make the

(43:36):
magnanimous gesture of washing it out and handing me the
empty bottle. And as he washed it, it slipped out
of his hand and smashed onto the port.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
This from being the nicest story about a very generous
gift to you to an act of almost trees and
from your friends. That is terrible.

Speaker 7 (43:57):
Yeah, I didn't speak to them for ten years.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
I get it, though. This is incredible story.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (44:06):
As I'm listener, I'm thinking, you know, the Penfold Grange
is about eight hundred and nine hundred dollars, and I
was thinking, if only there was a way we had
a thousand dollars every week to give away on the show.
I'm going to give it to you now. Gary, we're
going to write this ONNG. There's a fellow wine love.
I've never had the grange, but you've got to get
a bottle. I think it's about seven hundred and fifty

(44:27):
eight hundred dollars. You've just won a thousand dollars for
our call of the week.

Speaker 7 (44:31):
Oh God, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Go and go and get that bottle of wine. Okay,
treat yourself to the grange you never had back then.

Speaker 7 (44:39):
Absolutely, I'll send you a photo with me with it
in my hand.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I want to see in a coffee cup.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Though, twisty and tails.

Speaker 7 (44:47):

odds your stories of coincidence and chance? We'll get them next.
We're doing one of the odds. We did this every Wednesday, blessed,

(46:52):
so many stories of coincidence and chance. Now this one
from Andy. Good morning, Christian, and I've got a double
hummy for what are the odds? After listening to double
thumbs up the other week, you were talking a much
shit of the podcast SmartLess, I downded in some episodes.
It's great episode im SmartLess with Ted Danson and Will
Honor mentions to Ted Danson about his favorite scene from

(47:14):
Cheers where Diane announces that she won't ever they won't
ever see her again in Cheers and makes a big
dramatic exit, only to realize she's forgotten her coat, so
it's just to go back in and get it. Hopefully
that no one noticed that she's come back in losing
the dramatic moment. That morning, I've been watching Cheers on
the TV and it was that very episode the same
as we know went for years. I was listening to

(47:36):
an old podcast of your show, The One Way You
Lost your key and an old man was helping you
find it. At that very moment, I was walking to
get my steps in and found someone's lost key on
the ground. What are the odds, Simon, Good Morning Christian.
This one happened to me the other night. How to

(47:56):
share the joy with you, guys. I was sitting in
the radio on the McDonald's car park, waiting for my
wife and listening on the iHeartRadio. This is all good
classic listener behavior so far, Boss and shareholders. Thank you.
I'm not sure if I was listening to a show
snippet or the evening catch up of the show, but
I was listening to a lady talking to you about

(48:17):
her coincidence when she got back in Judge with an
old friend to find out they both have been married
on the same days, kids born on the same day,
and all the coincidences that go along with a story.
My wife came out McDonald's, so I gave her a
little too on the horns. I don't know where I
was part just in time for the lady on the
radio chatting to you to go silent and then apologize

(48:37):
to you because someone had just honked their horn.

Speaker 10 (48:40):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
It took me a moment to realize I wasn't listening
to you live. It was the evening What are the show?

Speaker 10 (48:48):
Art?

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Simon? Great one? All right, let's go well, Alex, you've
got to what are the odds for us? Yeah? I
had to write this down, but stick with me. Okay.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
So both sets of cousins in Bonnie's family have the
same birthday, right. So so Bonnie's mum and brother they've
got two daughters each. So that means Bonnie and her
cousin Ali, they're both born on May nine. Bonnie's sister
Claire and her cousin Phoebe, Ali's sister both have a
birthday on June twenty six.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Does that make sense? It kind of makes sense.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I need like some woolpapers. Do you know what you vote?
And it's the big long one. I need to draw
this family tree that Game of Thrones at the moment.

Speaker 5 (49:38):

son and two daughters each.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Yep. Is this a parable in the Bible, is it
The story of Canaabels does not involve cana Nabel. It's
not the New or Old Testament. So yeah, soon, sister,
are we in the middle of the story at the start?
I'm getting scared now they vote this is this week's
Brewster Sheep story.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
