Patsy had a you've got a bill of five hundred
and eighty one dollars, you personally have wrung up.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, since I personally or have a few sneaky brewis
gone on there, right.

(02:01):
I bought Patsy one. But she doesn't shout around.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Tell you this now, I won't be shouting after a
bill like that.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
The different. I was shocked.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
So that's I have a little tab going on. I
figure getting up so early, at least I could treat myself,
you know, with coffee you need it. And then I
did check it, and I absolutely know that it's right.
But I didn't realize coffee is so expensive now, so
I'm just using the coffee bags like that that I've
got a stage and intervention on myself.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
That is really congeless. Eighty one dollars since Easter, right, yeah,
Easter round about what thirteen.

Expert, it's just terriboys. I'm just asian is a shopkeeper.
You've got a double degree, but not in an advanced mouth.
Four units? What is it?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Depending on how much your coffee is, Say it's around
five dollars a day. You're getting two and a half
coffees a day. Someone's been helping themselves.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Someone knows he's got like a big bar bell I
have you make. Someone else has been having all these wines.
I've done that one before. Someone else. Someone's been putting
coffee on your tail.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I don't have any more than one a day.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
That's my treat.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
But anyway, look, I'm glad that it's paid and it's coffee.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Bag for me. Now, please, can you take me through
the moment someone told you as five hundred must have
just been come.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I nearly I nearly fell off my chair.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
So how do you even check it?

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, they said, they send me the invoice and I
just pay it and it's like itemized, and I surely
there's like food on there or something dirty chai, dirty chai,
dirty chai, skinny latte, dirty chai an orange juice. Oh yeah,
I remember I had a juice one morning after the show.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
So these are only drinks for one person.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
A couple of double shots.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
There you go, it's all coming in. Do we need
a batter coffee machine here? What's the answer? Not because
you guys need your coffee. We do. We've got our
ones perfectly. What is that you've got out there? Is
it a little pod one? Is that an espresso?

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, no, it's a Smeg.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's like a level of but it's in between barista
and pot It's.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, we've got it at home.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
That model.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It has been to this one here. Yeah, that's important.
Now it's sidneysider. What do we need someone who is
now merging as a color. So the coffee kind of
sail of the show. What do we need to make
this bad?

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Alex Well, listen, Melbourne is the center of coffee, though,
isn't it. I feel like I'm sort of stepping on
some toes here, step on them, you know it's the
self A pointed. That's what I noticed very quickly.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
We need one of those with all the silver pipes,
you know, the actual one where.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
In the you know that one of those.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
We can't even get a printer. We're not going to
get I was in a cafe yesterday and there were
two business guys, both with their laptops up, having a
meeting there, and they were doing that thing we all know.
It's really noisy in a cafe. You can't be surprised
when every second, literally every second is and they were
like looking around like this, I'm Snowy Spielberg and whoever

(05:46):
your financially here, other people are here, don't this isn't
your meeting? Their laptops out like looking at projections and forecasts,
and then they were irritated with old mate going coffee
with Chris.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Christ Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
You when you first realized that adult life isn't everything?
It was cracked up to me. Yeah. I was educating
my eighteen year old daughter Lowis yesterday about mortgages. She
was sort of just going, so we've sold this house,
so we must be loaded now. I said, okay, we're
going to need a pending paper here. Let me just
show you what unloaded looks like. Yeah, not this bag.

(06:33):
And she was going, wait, what I thought you said
we owned this house. Well, people say that I do
own the house, but I own it in that if
you don't keep up repayments, then you don't own it.
So we're renting here. I said, what mortgages are? Is
it kind of rent? Yeah, you're in the mortgage company.
You only own it where you've paid back all the money,
but then you have to pay it back with interest. Wait,

(06:55):
so that you have to pay even more money? Yeah,
she has How long is this go on? For?

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Years? Years?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Thirty years? I was like, oh my god, So if
I started a mortgage now when you're eighteen, you have
no business a mortgage banks giving an eighty year old
and most you don't worry about the next thirty years
paying back of fictional debts.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
And I hate to break it to that generation before
you get seriously.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I was explaining too about so we were looking at
house prices. Now, so say you wanted to get a
place in this area this, have a look at such
who went on real estate dot com right on one
of the biggest websites in the world. Isn't it that
website has come out of nowhere? And I didn't realize
until we had to sell a house a couple of
months ago, how much you have to pay to go
on there?

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Really, what a genius idea. I just presumed it was free,
not so not so Anyway, I was going, so, okay,
this looks like a nice house. Okay, you've got two
bedrooms there. Right, let's say you want to have a
two bedroom place. She's starting a family and all this,
And then I showed her the money. She goes, oh
my god, Now does work out what this would be?
The kind of repayment? So, and she said, I'm like, oh,

(07:57):
what kind of job I'm going to get? I said, listen,
you've only six months into university. She said, did you
worry about this at my tent? No? I have to
be honest. You have to actually work out the things
in life you going to put worry into. I don't
worry about this, Ei though, she goes, but doesn't it
keep you awake at night? And said other things like
losing the job. If that happens, then this becomes a worry.

(08:18):
So I said, it's better I put my job into
into keeping the job so we don't lose the house. Yes,
I said, you don't need to worry about at eighteen.
That's my thing to deal with for another couple of years. Please.
She was like, oh my god, I'm not going to
sleep tonight, so please do otherwise you're wasting me. In eighteen,
I'll tell you what we're swat places. I'll be eighteen

(08:39):
and I will not care one bit about paying a
mortgage you don't even have.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
I know, it's terrifying, Like I remember when I bought
the apartment and the moment, or like the when you settle.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh you have no money anymore? Suddenly like you're doing these.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Insane transactions through an app and my blood just running cold.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh, I've actually got no money, and therefore you don't
insist in the world. Yes, exactly, what will happen to
me now, Alex, yesterday you saw something from a Facebook
comment about something you said yesterday.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Yeah, so I've been referred to as the pluralizer and
that's putting plurals on things. And apparently it's a very
Sydney thing to pluralize things. So to me, what was
the context. I was talking about the South Melbourne market
and I said South Melbourne markets and apparently it's very anything,

(09:34):
is it, Yeah, to put put s's on things. He
pointed out that it's South Melbourne market market.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
So from now on, any market.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
I referred to have a very singular, sular South Melbourne market.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, what on earth are you doing going on Facebook
looking at the comments? You need an interventual because you
never knew that that is, you would only find stuff
there that will destroy your self esteem. Well, there are
a couple that did, but you know you do not
do that. But I thought new guy. You know now
they're responding to the new guy. No, no, no, I

(10:13):
did that seven years ago and almost pants up and
went back. Yeah it was nothing, but for me it
was nothing but hatred. They might upset you mildly because
you're from Sydney. Try being English. Well that's a good point,
actually you must. They were calling the station during the
day when I was even on air, and I was
just I've not been on air for a couple of

(10:35):
hours moaning about me, demanding them fired and sent home.
So yeah, believing years ago, you never go on the
comment section. I think you read one or two nice things,
Oh this is nice, and then you're like explosions. That's that's.
That's the one that will keep you up all night.

(10:56):
The mortgage about hot what ninety one or something? Fans
eighty five with ten followers? Yes, you know.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Who loves Alex though the mom's in the comments.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I have read a couple of months stopped me at
the South Melbourne market. Actually, now was it a couple
of mums? That wasn't a more paralyzing Again, sorry, I'm
doing it again. And tell me this, when you were
on TV, you wouldn't have gone anywhere near the comment

(11:28):
section about that. No, do you get the same kind
of engagement in like social media like we do on
radio because people really care about radio and we're really
lucky that they do. But they some people sort of
not point not not percent, really have a lot to
say about quite small and important things, well like basically
singular about one one word Alan. Imagine how many words

(11:51):
we said yesterday on the show yesterday. This is funny
one hundred hundred Yeah, this is unscripted.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
I've been quite lucky in that there's been a lot
of supportive messages, I must say, and I should say
a big thank you to those lovely people that have
been very supportive in this move in the last six
months as well, so that I had to be I'm
very thankful for those messages.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
So I would say this about some of the comments
that if you ever go looking on stuff like that,
I've learned in experience it actually isn't about you, It's
more about them. Sometimes people have emailed me at like
six sixteen am paragraphs of anger. I'm thinking, who's got
this energy? I haven't got this energy to reply to you?

(12:32):
Who's got this anger at quarter past six on Tuesday morning?
If you use that energy for something worth while, you
could have a better like And I realized how happy
people don't say those kind of things, and you have
to stop yourself from replying, oh well, I work with
two people that don't work in ready more because they
did get into some really nasty replying, especially after a

(12:56):
free drinks yep, yep. I remember many many years ago
I had to be sat down and have a meeting
with the company lawyer there as well, because I'd actually
threatened to meet a listener have a fight question, and
I'm promise you right now I wasn't even joking a
long time ago ago, Alex, stay away from the comment
section and the months.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Under pressure playing that for Alex Cullen stilled over the
place today. His pants are full of brown, terrified, terrifying. Christian,
Please can you pass us on to Alex. Listen, he's fine.
People now are messaging the show, Alex. You mean cyber buddied.
Oh mate, listen. Here's my experience having done TV myself.

(13:43):
I'm working with TV people, especially on the news and
sports side. They are real leaning too, talking up a
quiet word precious. They are treated like fine China, so
old mate, that it's probably his his Crawford hair ruff
or by one mumbly online and his whole precious world

(14:05):
has fallen apart. Now I understand why he said to
me today. I just went for a walk by myself
around the town yesterday. Of course he's staring up at
the trees processing take me back, Carl, I didn't even
know he had a Facebook page under the bridge collucting
my picture of Carl and I. So yeah. People were saying, please, please,

(14:27):
can you reassure Alex, this is why they do this.
He's absolutely fine. He's had one maybe message there. He's
doing absolutely fine. But Alex, I'm getting a lot of messages. Please,
can you reassure people that you were enjoying it and
you're not being syper bullied.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
I'm loving this, It's okay, don't worry. I'm not being cyberbullied.
And I've got thick skin. I wonked in commercial TV
for many years.

Speaker 1 (14:47):

out next, and please feel free to message Alex if
you don't like any of it.

Good morning Christian, Good morning Lester. Great name that Lester.
I wish that had a friend called Lester. It's a
solid name, Leicester. Can I call you a friend. I'm
going to put you in my phone as less. I
always want a solid old guy who's called les I
don't know old you are Leicester, but it feels like
a generational name. Leicester.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
There's no Lester's under twenty. That's for sure.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well that's a sad fact. And I encourage if someone
who's listens to show how pregnant and they can't just
settle on a name Lester. It's a good name with Ester.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
A Leicester that came once a year. His parents were
carneies and they had with the show. Excuse less Leicester,
I'm serious, come to our school.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
What do you mean? Who would this Leicester? Leicester?

Speaker 6 (15:49):
This child Lester And like we were like, who is
this Lester kid? So that he would travel with the show,
and the show would go all around the state, and
so every time the show came to our town, he
would come to our school for like a week.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Poor poor Leicester.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
I had a great life traveling around.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
The Carnies Cardie parents. Yeah. Shout out to Lester if
you're listening and it did you know, And shout out
to all Leicester's listening, yes, and all to welcome in
the broad church of this show. It's right as you are. Anyway,
Just going back to my friend Lester, Christian just to
let you know. I moved to Melbourne the beginning of

just had to come back to New Zealand for some
work meetings and couldn't wait for the start of the show,
even though there's a two hour time difference. Please reassure
Alex it's going okay.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Oh thanks, Lester Leicester, send me another email you said, okay,
fixate on that.

her laugh, I can still remember it. Eight days later,
at a moment's notice, she was giving me a compliment
two am wake up. Yes, it is the two am
thoughts Now. Yesterday on the show, we were I don't
know how, we were talking about my common words in
song titles by the decades. So, for example, then in

the big hits of the sixties Motown baby love maybe
did a bad, bad thing? Yes, the original right now.

of love?

Everybody?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Oh God, some beautiful two thousands? This is this is
two thousands. So we go from baby woman, love, hurt.
These are words, simply a letter. I think sums up
the fact that the transitions two thousands, it just became
like Prince was just a wiggle. Yeah, it's just a letter.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
You.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
There was no time in the two thousands.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's so ninety nineties. So as we were doing this
yesterday and I was talking about this, the team alex

word in so I thought I'd turn this into a
game today. All Right, I give you the words. You
guys are taking each other on. You've got to instantly

(18:37):

to sing a song with that word in the title.

got stage experience. Viously told you could do the narrating.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Small Thing, Big Joy. Now it's the counterpart, the to
the yang of small Thing Big rage two days ago.
We got to balance it out. That's life. What small
thing gives you big joy? Rio? What's it for you?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
I was living large last weekend. We're Red Hill and
were staying in this lovely hotel and I dared for
the first time ever to take something from the Mini bar.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
For bid and prove this is what Adam and Eve
kicks out of the garden.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
It feels like that for chocolate. No, I went for
the thirteen dollar Pringles. Wow, some mug inside, but you
feel had You had a couple of drinks, yes, yeah, yeah,
well we.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Bought our own wine and we're drinking that. Did you
smuggle your wine in? Yes, yeah, right in the middle
of it. You do it right in the middle of
your of the bag like they got a scanner there. Yes,
they must know. So you don't want to make enough
on the pringles, buddy, Yeah, we make it back that
have as much booze as you come in, you'll have
more than Mini.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Bar and drinking them in those little like plastic cups.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
They get very.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Classy, but you feel like a rock star. Oh my god,
just might not do it again ever in my life,
but I recommend just one time, reach into the mini bar,
grab those pringles, grab the mars.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh my god, how honest are we were? And you're
checking out, they go, you have anything from the mini bar?
He goes, I think so, and they look at you.
What says you about four bees chocolate? And that's what
you're saying some broken what we're saying, yes, sir, Well,

(23:26):
my father actually suggested.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Will said, oh, we should just get some at the
convenience store and switch you do that.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
I run to the seven eleven, don't you and you
hopefully get back in time before housekeeping.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Only think once you get to the hotel and you're
in that sort of bubble, I don't want to leave it.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yeah, well that's how they get you, with the how
they sound like a dad.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
This is how they get you. Alex. What's the small thing,
big joy for you?

Speaker 6 (23:56):
So my son's doing this at the moment, Max, right,
And you know when you're lying there and it's a
little bit warm, it's a bit hot, not at the
moment obviously, but your pillow and you turn the pillow
over and the other side is cold.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And your head can rest on the cold side of
the pillow.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
But trouble is, though, sometimes the head heats it up
real quick, doesn't it, and turn it back again.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
And that's what Max is doing at so he'll turn
it back over and then I'll turn it back over.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, there's nothing worse when you can't sleep and you're
constantly flipping it like a burger, just trying to find it,
and it's it cools. It warms up so quickly because
you're gonna have heated bed blankets. Why can't we have
cooling pillows? Cold question? I have seen answer for those?
Have you been very tempted?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Tempted together, especially here in Australia.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, when do we not to have a cooling in
the pillow.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
Like a cold water bottle instead of a hot yes?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yes, So what would happen is as it's starting to
cool down, you know, and you're fumbling in the dark,
you tap it the side of the pillow, tap that
pillow and you give a little tap and then it
starts to cool down. Two taps warm it up. Oh,
it's to I don't have a cold head when I
get out of bed. The more for work and it's
not warming up the brain synapses. Our tap it, tap

(25:12):
it twice, some warms my head up.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
It doesn't seem.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
It seems like a very Japanese in they think, they
think of these things. Patsy, what's the small thing big
joy for?

Speaker 10 (25:25):
You?

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Did it Sunday night? It's my new ritual on a
Sunday is put a couple of drops and I can
do this.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
My doctor said, it's legit whiskey.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
No hydrogen hydrogen peroxide in my ear And it's like
pin candy for your ear. It's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Do you have a blocked ear?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Trying to constantly have trouble with my ears? And so
you just put a couple of drops and it gets
rid of all the debris and it's it's like popping candy.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
What if you got in there like twigs and like birds.
Next it's medasta. It just gets rid of all the
old wax. And it's safe though, because it's very sensitive.
Fine micro yare aren't they?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Iron Are Hospital said and say, okay, look at the website.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, but the word hydrogen, the hydrogen bomb peroxide. Things
you shouldn't put in your ear. Do you want me?
And Nanny say say anything, nothing bigger than the width
of your elbow.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
I never got that director, without a doubt, that is
a thing, And I think the whole point of it
is just don't put anything in your.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Ease, especially not anything that could go inside a bomb.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Ingredient or a science speaker up an era.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Now, the last couple of days haven't been fitting that well.
My family have been trying to I don't I'm not
being good with too much fuss. Okay, they have to
tread very carefully around me, right, So I'm fine. I
don't know too much fuss. So they've been gently giving
me things that show me care without being a big deal.
That's nice. So in the last forty hours I've received
two things. Whittaker's coconut blocked chocolate O love you know,

(27:11):
I love that. My wife came back yesterday from doing
the shop and she just placed it down to my
desk and walked away like singing with her an ape.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Basically, I just go into his cage, leaveing his Beaniana, do.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Not make eye contact, do not start him, just leave it,
retreat backwards. Few. I think it's okay. And then my daughter,
she's gone back to college, starts again on Monday. She
went to office works yesterday and she came back with
a brand new pack of sharpie pens fine point. She

(27:45):
knows what Papa lights, because sometimes you need to make
a fine point, but with a bold pen, a bold
fine point. A pack of those, and again put them
on my desk. Water. That's very generous for a university studio.
Oh no, she also put my credit card back, but
I don't mind. That's a beautiful gesture. Hey the piper,

(28:07):
that's what I all. So, all right, what have you
got here? Small thing, big joy, Christian. The first sip
of coffee in the morning. You're right, so the first
sip of your drink at the weekend and a Friday,
isn't it? First drink Christian? Small thing, big joy for
me walking out of the office Friday afternoon. That's the spirit, Andrew.
That's our employee of the week there, early afternoon, small thing,

(28:30):
big joy. Putting a wheat pack on my feet when
I go to bed, So they're nice and toasty on
it during winter. What a great idea.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Hell love the smell of the wheat pack.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, just as it comes out of the microwave. Yes, yes, Tracy,
that soft feeling. Only in Australia would someone say this, Tracy,
So I'm saying, small thing, big joy. Okay, that soft
feeling of a pair of tracky packs.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Traggyacks, the power of now and the barrel of traggy docks.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
He's a very specific feeling, it really is. Oh. Yes, well,
we remember the first time went to Bunnings and I realized, Oh,
I'm far too smart to be here because everyone is
in trackie dacks and shorts and bin tanks and sloppy does. Yeah, oh,
I need to go in the car. You're in your
tax seed sipping a cocktail. Christian. A small thing, big joy.

(29:35):
When my son randomly gets off his computer and comes
and gives me a card along the couch. That's some
eno musks. Mum, small thing, thank you, small thing, big joy.
Watching my fifteen year old dog trying to still do
the zuomies. Oh my god. The zoomies, if you don't know,
is a perfect word for when you know your dog

(29:57):
is so happy you come back. Maybe I've only been
gone five minutes or five hours. Same thing to a
dog and they're so happy. They try and chase their
own towel and they go ran around around. Then they
just fall over. But my big old our German shepherd
dog we used to have used to do that random
round of roundround trying to catch our own towel, would
get it, fall over but still with the tail in
its mouth and then jump back up. That's the zoomies.

(30:18):
By the way, I don't know what it's called the zoomies,
zooming round the zoomies. Is this a pleasing word to
think of, isn't it? Christian? Small thing, big joy when
you flash someone to change the lanes or you get
them on narrow street, this, Haunds equals small thing, big rage.
If you don't get thanks back, thank you and Christian.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
The last couple of weeks, our eighteen year old daughter
who was the last to leave home at the start
of this year, and when send my wife and I
became empty nest. She's be back at home because it's
been a break from university and it's been lovely having
her back. That said I was gonna get used to
actually piece and I just suddenly settled back into being

(31:28):
an empty nest. And actually there are some positives here,
the lack of just never ending in abundance of washing
to do it again, and stuff that actually you've only
just worn that like two hours ago. There's no way
it's soiled. You just don't want to fold it and
put it away. Just been exhausted washing again. So in
a way she goes back. We're moving her back Sunday,

(31:50):
so when my wife and I are obviously prepared for
yet another heartbreak. However, yesterday I thought she was out
for the evening. Right, my wife's getting ready for this
part of this a part of her sort of dealing
with the next part of her life. Now she's gone
back to university and she's doing this ma in art therapy.
She starts the day a placement. She's gonna be working
two days a week as a volunteer in a school.

(32:10):
So she said, hey, listen, I really just need some
piece and quiet. So I said, I'm going to go
to cinema. I really want to see this F one movie.
Okayll my mates have seen it. They said it's brilliant.
By the way, this F one movie. Tina, who works
on the show I've spoken as before, right, she's an
F one nut. Okay. She goes to me, Oh, I
don't think I can see that. Apparently Brad Pitt falls
in love with the mechanic and apparently you just don't

(32:32):
do that. I said, listen, then don't see listen, mate,
don't see any movie ever. It's all made up. Plus,
Brad Pitt is sixty something. Any old sixty year old
driving those F one cars in your beloved sport, they're
all young kids. Old's piastre. He's about ten, isn't he.
It's any sixty odd year old guys king in there.

(32:53):
So anyway, I booked one loan ticket and then suddenly
my heartbreaks when my daughter comes in the house and
I'm like, I'm just getting ready to go out. She
guess where do you go and go? And little Simbill
come with me? She says, oh, great, come with I'll
get another ticket. There's only when I booked it five
o'clock on a Wednesday, there's only six people watching. So
I go, how easy to get another there's an entire

(33:13):
cinema you don't even know. Sit next to me, pick
her and see. She goes, wait, wait, you're not going
to go and see that racing movie. I am, But
I said, look, it's not about racing. It's a human drama.
She gets. She gets, she goes, it's two and half hours. No,
she goes, I'm not not two and a half hours.
That's a lot. So anyway, she goes, why don't you

(33:34):
just not go? Yeah, I'm going Sunday we can watch
a movie together. I went, yeah, but I really want
to watch the movie. And uh, I was really looking
forward to the snacks. And she goes, you know, you
should just not go and then we can watch a movie.
Might you do it next week. You'll have a lot
of time. You'll be desperate to feel. She goes to
her bedroom. I was sat there thinking it was like

(33:54):
two me's. I was like, my stomach was getting ready
for snacks going alone. There's no my wife, you can't
have that class. You're fifty to.

Speaker 11 (34:04):
All that.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
So I'm thinking, I eat whatever I want and then
throw it on the floor. And then watched two and
a half hours of men racing in cars a human drama.
But I'm thinking, oh god, I'm going to really miss it.
I can see this next week. So going to bedroom
and I go, hey, listen, I'm not going to go
to the movie. She just goes good, and I go,

(34:26):
will you watch the original Happy Gilmore with me tonight?
She goes, Yes, the new one's out this weekend. And
I in one area, I ner've raised those girls rights
to appreciate comedy. It makes me so happy when I
hear them watching by just the two of them, old
episodes of Seinfeld or Modern Family or Parks and Rex
all the Office, And they've been raised on Adam Sandler,
on Will Ferrell. Right, So I said, like, this is

(34:48):
Sam Man when he was really starting to break brig
it's nineteen ninety six, the original Happy Gilmore. And I
said to do you know what, you reminded me of
something that actually there's nothing wrong in life about owning
your own needs. You're quite right, you just want to
hang out with me. I felt you dook about small thing,
big joy we got to take away. Me and her
just watched Happy Gilmore. Right, she never seen him before.
I haven't seen it in years, and I love the
Sam Man. Nineteen ninety six is peak Sandman when he

(35:11):
was just starting to leave Essen now and do movies right.
It is for an hour and a half, relentlessly funny.
There's not a wasted scene in Happy Gilmore. You've got
one of the greatest nineties movie baddies of all time. Shooter, Yes, endlessly.
What is the pistol? He buys the home in all
of that, because he buys the foreclosed home of his NaNs.

(35:33):
You have all that. He's brilliant. And I said to
okave let us a small speech beforehand. I said, Look,
the thing about peak Sandman movies is he's always best
when he's a psycho and he's yelling like this in
the opening scene of Happy Gilmore, Terry. Wait, wait, hold
on a second, babe. Yeah, you're not going for good,
are you.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Honey.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
You're going nowhere happy and you're taking me with you.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
All you ever talk about is being a pro hockey player.
But there's a problem.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
You're not any good.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
I am good. You know what.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You're a lousy kindergarten teacher. I see no fingerpaints you
bring Homi.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
It's thing suck and it's just you forget. There's so
many great bits said. I've forgot about Chubbs coach, cold weathers,
the great cold weathers, the fake it's way too big,
but that's what makes it funny. It should have been.
It's there's no way a fake hand would be that big.

(36:34):
And then the fingers keep coming off and it gets
run over, and he goes, don't worry about that. That's solid.
Wooden's just crumple in that line. Why don't you just
go get the It's got more quotable jokes per minute
than any other Adam Sander movie, I think, any of
the cold movie. Yeah. So it's so good. So as

(36:55):
we're watching it, I'm just falling back in over the nineties.
I actually started to google this morning Timberland boots. I
might buy a pair of timber And boots, you know,
when you don't. I just won those choice to have
a pair in the nineties. I'm going to bring back
Timberland boots. Oh god, you have a hypercolor T shirt.

Speaker 11 (37:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah. And then the end of it, I said, what
do you think we were laughing our asses after that,
it's still relentlessly funny. Do you remember when they're those
those comedy movies of the nineties, you know, and obviously
there was like Dumb and Dumber as well. They were
like the big movies of the year. Yes, they were
the blockbusters. They were the blockbuster and they just went
for jokes. They didn't worry about making a serious point.

(37:38):
R if. They just went for jokes. And they're just joyous.
They're plainful and joyous. And both of us are laughing relentlessly.
And I was so pleased because I was wondering, like,
is it that good? Now in the end of it,
I went, just be honest, Mark set Tennis shows that
is an eleven out of ten. Wow, oh my god,
oh my god, you got to watch it. It is
so good. And now I'm even more excited. Happy Gilmore
two drops tomorrow on Netflix. And you know what's really

(38:02):
sad is they they'd written the script for it, Adam
Sandler and the original writer of it, and they had
a big role for Carl Weathers. Oh, but then he
passed away two weeks before they started filming. Oh yeah,
I think they were going to have like a big
role of like a ghost kind of advising her a lot,
but he passed away, so they've had to redo it spite.

(38:23):
So on the trailer there's son of Chubbs. Also has
he got a fake up? Of course he has. If
you got that joke walk thirty years ago, bring it back.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
After he watched Happy Gilmore the original nineteen ninety six one,
we then went looked at the trailer for the new one,
which dumps tomorrow on Netflix, a new Happy Gimore two,
and my daughter goes, oh my god, Sam Man looks
so old. No no, no, Rio, you need to see
the trailer. It took my breath away, and I said her, listen,
everyone's getting older. And also it's really unfair these days

(38:59):
because movie stars have to age with these relentless four
K cameras. It didn't used to be like that. You
had a lot of these actors and actresses that had
longer careers because it was all hidden behind makeup. Four K.
Now everything is revealed. We've got Mega We've got jumbo
trons at home. Now big your TV US today, it's

(39:21):
quint to see. That's where it stars. That's where I
got out of TV. You can hide away for decades
here on radio. You can liked column Adam Jones did
and get a very good that's been kid all right.
So right now in the city of London, you're winner

(39:46):
from a big Oasis competition we ran a couple of
weeks ago. Sing it and win it. We had an
amazing price to send you over to London to go
and see the opening night of Oasis newly reunited as

the entries. You had your vote who should be sent
out there and he went for this guy, Dave and
this incredible stead of version of Supersonic.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Send me to web leave, Christian.

Speaker 8 (40:31):
I'm begging please. I'm seeing in on the duney dreaming
of the money and the back kids being given me
the standing to find a way.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
To make it on the plane.

Speaker 8 (40:51):
So the kids won file it's my friend s come

Speaker 1 (40:59):
The plane to wear Really what an outstanding winner. So
Dave has landed with his best mate Sean. What a
great boys trip all right? They're in there. They're in
their forties, so like a lot of you just don't
have enough time to hang out with your mates when
you become a parent. And so two of them are
having this boys trip. They are huge Oasis fans. They

(41:21):
have Oasis tattoos. They really deserve to go and be
in London right now. They're just landed. They are very
very jet laid. However, they've done the right thing. They're
drinking in a pub right now. It is the evening.
It's caught. Sadly, I think I know what pub that is.
It's not like there's only two pubs in London. I'm
ashamed to say I reckon I could have a good guest.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Some people are like matts, savants, you're a pub savant.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
But they are going to have an amazing time now.
Oasis fans, obviously the band are going to be heading
out here at the end of October and November, and
two of the three shows sold out very quickly. Oasis
fans be excited to production holds have now released limited
tickets to all the previously sold out Oasis Live twenty
five here in Australia. Shows are available now, so you

(42:04):
can get your tickets to see Oasis. If you've seen
the highlights online. They are sounding better live. I don't
know how they've done this than they used to when
they were at the height of their so called powers.
I think there were a height of a lot of
other powers then. They're too old for that now and
so anyway, you can buy your tickets now. They're available now.
Now there's somebody else who is in London and we're

(42:26):
going to him next. There's no point me wasting your
time trying to describe what's coming up next. I use
words for a living. There aren't enough other than Josh
the receptionist is in London. You just need to listen next.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
We're about to go live to London Town. So we
have Josh who works at this radio station. Now you
can't reduce any of us two mere job titles. But
what does he do here? Josh is the receptionist. But
actually I would say he's the most spirited person in

(43:10):
the entire building. Definitely, that's not exaggeration. Is he's way
more than just the receptions right, He's this enthusiasm joy,
He's got a big heart. He's a lovely kid. Anyway,
a couple of weeks ago, me and him are talking
about Oasis. He's a big Oatis fan, as of mine.
He was saying how he'd love to be there in London.
So I thought, we're surprised him. We'd fly him out
there to London, and we have. He's been in London
this week but with a mission to try and get

(43:33):
one question to Liam and no get us the answer,
and I said, I'll fly you back in business class,
went out economy get the goods for us. He sees
the show Friday, he's already going to see the show
tomorrow night. But he gets flowing back, lying down, but
he's got to get what just one question answers. He's

(43:55):
been there since Sunday. So that's his mission. Now. The
thing I need to warn you about, Josh, is high energy.
High energy, just.

Speaker 11 (44:06):
From reception in London down to see your otis to
track them down looking for gallaghers all over the town.
The clock's ticking down till the show.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Canny deliver. It's five to eight here in Melbourne. It
is five to eleven in the evening in London. You're
probably in the bushes outside Liam Ornold's house. Josh, I
better whisper. You must be so close now because you
landed Sunday.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
I did land Sunday, but I'm here. How are you, guys?

But he goes, because I've interviewed him. He goes really
early in the morning before people can see him. So
I'm talking like like first torn he'd be there at
