Speaker 3 (03:04):
So it was like an appendix in your heart. Pretty
much gotchat just a show show.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Don't tell the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
If you've got a weird unusual body part. Bridge That
was possibly the first person to have a tendon transplant
in nineteen seventy, only nine years old. They took attendent
from the toe and transplanted it onto my thumb. Bridgie.
That is incredible. I'd love to know why. Yes, Sharon's
(03:36):
husband has many spleens on his spleen. Oh wow, Karen
has multiple spleens. I didn't know you could have multiple
spleens in city. Thank you maright.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
It's that bedside manner that the doctor's name. Yeah, extra
splains the spin city in this bed here. My dad
and not only my dad, are other people in his
side of the family have web toes between the second
and third toe.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh wow, you didn't get it.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I didn't, unfortunately get it. I mean, maybe you don't
want it, but I always thought he could swim faster.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yes, So what is that genetic mutation?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I guess so only on one foot?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know what? You know what that is? Web city?
So what have you got?
Speaker 10 (04:24):
A weird lynn, I've got my big toe and my
sum are about the same size.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
So you've got a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
That's a big toe long yep.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Yeah, so I take a size thirteen.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Shoe, but that's just a toe.
Speaker 11 (04:40):
Not quite.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
No, I just wanted to just happened to stick more
to to and realized that, so.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Both feet have really long toes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, or just what feet? Yep?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
But I didn't regular.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
We just went it might be an abnormality just on
one side, you know, so both sides gotcha? Gotcha? Mumble
dad got one of those orses? You no just me,
just me, amazing, Lynn, Thank you very much. She cool.
Don't tell you what must have looked quite quite the
citing thongs, Tonty. You know you you noticed that hanging
off the front proportions aren't right or something like that.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
But I said, I, if I've heard the shops or
something like that and I need to measure something, I
just sort of put a foot in front of each
other and I can measure things out of course.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yep, gotcha, Lin Bye bye. Now, by the way, you
notice that. But she's a cave and had got being
ready for that call with a ruler. This in case
you wanted to sort of measure out on the show
or something. For you guys, Sarah, thanks to you on
the show. And uh oh are you the tendon transplant?
Speaker 12 (05:51):
Well, I also had a tendon transplant in nineteen eighty
seven because I was born with a sum that does
not bend like it's just a right thumb.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
So so I when I was about sort of, you know,
seven or eight years old something like that, I went
in and they decided they were going to transplant a
tendon from well, graft a tendent from my arm that
you apparently don't need and put it in my thumb, so.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Apparently you don't need kind of like Bogan doctor said
that take that from. I don't even know what that
bid does, but I just take it off and if
you need a bat, I'll put it back off.
Speaker 12 (06:37):
But unfortunately it didn't work, so I still have a
thumb that does not bend.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're kidding after all that they couldn't fix it. No,
oh my god, I'm so annoyed. You're going to go
to the hospital, be prepared, have the anesthetic be cut up,
and then it didn't work.
Speaker 12 (06:54):
It's an excellent party trick. People love to look at
my thumb with the no.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Knuckle, so but it still doesn't go down.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
No, it's like I can I can hitchhike, but I
can't bend it. I can't hold a tennis racket or
a or a you know like that.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's not much of a party trick because you can't
show just by showing a straight thumb that it stays
straight all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We can do because later on in the same tim
the people I told I go, I hold the thumb up,
and they go because it hasn't hasn't gone by down.
Speaker 12 (07:22):
You know, but it doesn't have those wrinkles. You know,
everybody's got those wrinkles where your knuckle is.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I don't have those.
Speaker 12 (07:27):
It's just smooth. So people like to look at it
and pat it.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So you've got no, you've got no knuckles.
Speaker 12 (07:33):
I've got no knuckle on my right thumb.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Interesting, where's a knuckle?
Speaker 12 (07:38):
You don't have a look at your thumb. You can
say it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, no, no, not mine. I know where the knuckle is.
And when you've got no knuckle, got no knuckle, that's
what you should have done, is took a knuckle from somewhere,
put that on there, or made one in the laboraxy.
Your print went off, Prince, Oh they can now with
these laser Princess. You go there and go office works.
I need a knuckle.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
For O'Connell's show. You have been driving and someone tries
to get your attention and to get you to wind
the window.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Down because you've done something wrong on the right.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, you're always in two minds, like what it is?
What it is that your first actually had that? Whatever
is the outside of this window? Don't need to worry
about it. I look at it later.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I've definitely done that stair forward before, where you know
you're peripheral, someone's trying to get your attention.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But crazy nonsense always carrelevant. There should be like a
hand signal where you know. So anyway, I was at
some lights this morning and it's early, it's like ten
past five. It's just me and this other dude, and
he's wound his window down and and at first I
thought I couldn't work out why was he bothering me?
And then so I wound the window down and this
guy told me that there's no lights on the back
(08:42):
of the car. There's lights on the front, but at
the back, and one was just I just saw went off.
You know, we just think that's something else got sweat today.
You've given me a problem, mate, I was, and now
he's trying to save my life for a fine, give
me another bloody problem. I've only been up half an hour.
It's ten past five, and now my whole day is now.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
The radio show is a position of power here.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I did have one light off at the front for ages,
but I just couldn't be bothered or didn't think I
could afford getting.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Like drifters and curves when I've seen it, I don't
even want to flash at them.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
In cases side strangers a lot going pulling up next
to me and saying like, just so you know what
of your lights are out? And because it happened all
the time, I had to pretend it was the first time.
Oh good, thank you for telling me. The first thing
I do when I get home will be fixed that night.

turns around and there he is right next to me.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
I'm going to ride ear him.
Speaker 15 (15:32):
And no one recognized him. You just walk around with
a cap and a T shirt on and runners and
and mate said you need to ring up a radio station.
This is back in the nineties, because apparently he was
turning up and Sydney Airport, big entourage there, but no
one saw him.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
So did you ring the radio station.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
No, I didn't time, so he just regrets you did
all this time late to look thirty years later tomorrow

How come she was on holidays in Scottsdale, Arizona, staying
with a friend of hers who lives in a very
exclusive golf resort. And one of my wife's friend's golfing
buddies has been friends with Assel Rose for about thirty years.
And he was about to head to la the following
day to and his birthday party.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
And your wife said no?
Speaker 16 (17:02):

Speaker 3 (18:11):
What she offered her half a sandwich or.
Speaker 1 (18:14):

be sitting next to her, and she apparently leans over
and goes, hey, are you going to finish your ham?
And then Nana goes, yeah, no, here you go and
she starts eating it.

Place when they were referbing and there was a antique
staircase and they wanted to shoot a scene of the
film there. So the job shut down.

crew like, look, can I bring my daughters into to
meet the stars. And that's how it happened.

about to go into hair and makeup, so she stopped
and gave my sister and I a little bit of
a hug and a chat.

stuff we just chuck into Google right constantly, just as
put that on Google, just random. It's just all this
random noise in your head just dumped in there. And
earlier I was just looking at I had, I had
one hundred and seventy six tabs opened my phone, one
hundred and seventy six and it's just random gobbledy Google.

thinking about getting a ute. Oh you are I google
my best utes in Australia. It's so complicated though, dual

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Four all you need. I missed by you, honestly from
this that three years I was trying.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
To do the fry that because it doesn't owe you any.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The amount of times you actually need the utility of
something to chuck in the back. You'll love it. The
only problem is then you become somebody that's a favor
of Oh what are you doing something?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You bring yourself yours? And the mattress friend of mine
gave me a lift and we had dinner on Friday
night and he's just got a what do you call it?
A raptor.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You're going to one of those beast ones, So you
want to ram something rare.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I didn't realize how much those things are. That there
are a lot that's not persaisly. They about hundreds.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
He almost ran me over when you came to one
last game.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
He should have one. We're not dermy, we don't belong
in one of those. My friend gave me a left
home in this this raptor thing right and and it
was making this noise. It's a bloody other. The ground
that it's got four different sound effects. It's got four
different the exhaust has four different sounds. So it's got

us guys in our fifties, we're going to put on
the noisy one as we driveing the light hoos and it's.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Like, see, I thought you wanted it for actual utility,
not because you're going through some middle life crisis. Where
in the sound of noisy car, it's.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Fifty to fifty Jack, if I'm on it, it's fifty
to fifty.

Speaker 3 (27:53):

Speaker 6 (27:55):
It's like, look, she she didn't want to compete, but
she was like ahead of the cheer squad, and we said,
you know what, that's fine, you're having a go.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
She's not fond of you know.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I get it. I'm the guy. Yes, let back to
where ward today whatever you say, lace up some trainers

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Now anyway, that's not the project.
Speaker 13 (28:27):
So the house colour is burgundy. And as I'm approaching,
I noticed there something on her face. Anyway, I get
there and I notice she's wearing makeup.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
She'll probably going out in the afternoon.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
She didn't have anything to do.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Those other suffers are doing the actual competing. Came up
and I said to.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You, are you wearing eyeline?
Speaker 13 (28:46):
And she's like, Mom, shut up, We're all wearing it.
So apparently they had like burgundy eyeliner and then they
had like the house name up their arms.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
That's like the spirit of the day, Patsy Visio, this
is wokeness. They're wearing eyeliner. Now, Chris, this is the
beginning of it.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I'll just have to crop you out of all the photos.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
All your friends competing.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Christian O'Connell's show. Have you got a story that's going
to make us say, wow, we had a great one
about two weeks ago from Susie.
Speaker 16 (29:22):
My oldest aunt was the chimpanzee.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Wow. Yeah, Wow, you have to get where Patsy. What's
not well about that?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, I'm still in shock.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
My oldest aunt was the chimpanzee.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Oh, there we go. It was just like a bit
of a delay. Sometimes. Have you got a story that's
going to make us say? Wow? Damn? What's your story
for us? Mate?
Speaker 11 (29:44):
So, when my grandfather died, we found out he had
a false identity in two families. What So when he
passed away, we were cleaning out the house and our
family was in the middle of doing our family tree,
and we found a whole bunch of letters underneath a
false cavity in his house, and there were letters between
(30:09):
the two wives which had both passed away, and it
was explaining where he was and everything like that. And
then the two families lived literally less than five kilometers apart,
but the kids went to one set of kids went
to a private school, one went to a public school,
so they never crossed parts. And we actually didn't meet
(30:33):
the family the other part of the family until the
funeral arrangements were being started and we didn't know about
them until then.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Damn, this is one of most incredible stories we've ever heard.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
So yeah, literally we started doing funeral arrangements and then
we had all these other contacts and it's like, we
don't know who this is and I was the half
brother and half sister.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Oh my god, Well, how did your family feel about
all this?
Speaker 11 (31:03):
It took a lot to comprehend because we were going
when we started doing funeral arrangements, and we actually contacted
a lot of the local cemetery. It gets weirder than this.
He had assumed his older brother's identity and he ran
two social Security numbers, but stuff like that. But he
literally had two names. But when we went to the
(31:25):
funeral arrangements for the cemetery, his older brother had come
down looking for him and died and he was buried
in the same cemetery.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh my god, this is unbelievable. So he really was
leading a double life.
Speaker 11 (31:40):
Yeah, for pretty much, we estimate around forty five years.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
It's so risky to have them five k's away that
you think you'll never bother.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
These stories of people in America who found this out,
You know, when it's different states and even in Australia,
different states, way five cas it's so easy to bother
take your other wife.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yea, literally three or four suburbs across from each.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Other's nothing is it? And so what was the impact
on your your family?
Speaker 10 (32:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
It was, Well, the inheritance had to be split four
ways instead of two ways, right.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Other than the financial impact, a lot more sort of emotion.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
It was.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
It was. It was really really strange because obviously my
dad and his sister had never never even knew and
there was a whole hard to deal with in a
family that we didn't even know about.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Because you must have so many questions that you want
to ask that person, but they're not there.
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yeah, there was. Literally my dad spent a good couple
of months just talking to his half brother and half
sister and everything like that, whereas his sister didn't want
anything to do with it.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
So your your dad and his sister didn't know anything
about it. Did the other family know there was a
second family?
Speaker 11 (33:01):
No, I didn't know anything about each other?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Amazing that So sister, your dad's sister wanted no part
of any kind of conversations or trying to put all
the pieces together.
Speaker 11 (33:11):
But your dad did, Yeah, how.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Do you even start You look at each other, we're
kind of similar, and maybe you start talking about dates
were you there?
Speaker 11 (33:23):
And so it was totally bizarre. So there's a whole
set of cousins everything like that. Yeah, it was totally bizarre,
like and this is over, well, this is over thirty
years ago that this happened. But yeah, that was just
absolutely totally bizarre.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Dan, thank you very much for sharing that with us.
I wonder if today I'll get other emails if people
who found out stuff like this. But Dan incredibly well
told and isn't It's a series of like four or
five incredible stories, and I'm sure there's many more as well.
But thank you very much for giving us a call
and sharing it with us today as well.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
But Christian Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
There are certain songs that remind me of my mom
and dad. Whenever I hear them, I'm instantly back to
thinking about my parents, and I think for all of us,
there are certain songs that when you were growing up,
your mom and dad would listen to them, and you
not really heard music that since they're not their songs.
It's like whenever you hear these songs, it's like, look,
time traveling capsule. So there's a song by a band
called the Three Degrees. There are seventies, sort of soul
(34:23):
band from America. My dad used to love them. I
think you know, he fancied one of the singers. I
think it's way mainly liked it. And I could tell
whenever Dad was home, you'd hear this. You used to
have this song cassette and whenever you used to pick
me and my mates up, like late night parties, right,
(34:44):
we'd be barely cut and you'd hear me and my mates,
you know about eighteen. There are all kinds of states,
and I'm like, you could show like you were some
kind of late night vigilante.
Speaker 15 (34:54):
You know, this is so regious.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yes, maybe they should play this outside the MTG when
everyone's pouring out after a big game to the losing side,
you know, just the fans who are like, you know
know what, or they're.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Just a game.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's about life. It's different to the come on, let's let's.
Speaker 11 (35:15):
Hug it out.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
And then from my moment, was there she loves Simon
our Guard fun call and this song Homeward Bound, which
is a great song.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Shall when my mom's escaping, when my names, explaining.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
When I hear this now I can see the picture
of the vinyl that she had, not that that song
a right and almost a kid certain thing scared you.
You look back now just suddenly realize Simon from Simon
and Garfunkle scared the hell out of me. Even then
I was, oh my god, that man really good hair.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Remember years many years later, I was off the chance
to interview when I went to producing, and I didn't
want to say because you went, oh I can thought
you might mentioned, and I went, no, I don't think
the orders have been interested. Now that's a drove of home.
Why don't I want? Oh my gosh, his hair I
saw him. I think I might wet myself.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
I could do a phone interview, baby, but definitely not
in person.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
God now like, oh my god, it was you.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I love that song. But we should talk to our
irrational things that scared you as a kid, Simon and
Garfunkel because of his hair A great artist, Jack, what's
it for you? Reminds you' have doed?
Speaker 5 (36:35):
First of all, Dad, I loved this seventies band that
I haven't ever heard again of since it only existed
in our house. He had all the records of this
band called UFO.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I've never heard of them. This spells like a song
that Tarantino is going to dust off and be back
in a song. It's Kurt Russell and a big muscle car.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
But when he wasn't letting you his seventies hard rock.
We would wake up some Sunday mornings to the soundtrack
of Last of the Mohicans.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What did you get.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Sunday mornings?
Speaker 17 (37:10):
Is right?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Was that my parents shook control of the music setting
you know soundtracks?
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
And Dad had the sage feature Just a man reading
the newspaper with a cup of tea.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Isn't it? And what's this one for your mum? Chris Isaac?
Speaker 5 (37:26):
Yeah, my memory of my mum listening to this is
like staring out the window window into the middle distance,
lost somewhere else listening to.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I think every mom listen right now knows that stare
that yearning. Patsy, what's the song that reminds you of
your parents?
Speaker 12 (37:43):
Dad?
Speaker 13 (37:43):
Dad was a truck driver and on school holidays we
used to no, not Dad, No, this is it?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
I know it should be Platters twilight time.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Oh sorry, Oh, this is a great tube.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Dad would play it at all over over, no other song.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Listen to over that my dad would. There's like a
similar vibe the late night, the twilight hours, aren't they really?
And what about mom?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Mom was.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
The wrong one?
Speaker 4 (38:22):
I actually didn't pick one.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Form this little page that we've got for what we're
doing here for our songs that will been loaded in.
For some reason, it says by your mom, all right,
we don't cover that one in a bit.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Though, Christian O'Connell show on podcast.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
As you're calling in and we're going through all your
calls on our phone system, here, the producers can label
up a little bit of detail about you, maybe where
you're from, a simple innocent phone in light. What song
reminds you of your mom and dad? I don't know
why one of you has simply been labeled up nos,
some kind of devil worshiping, goat slaughtering song. Do not
(39:09):
do not speak to him? Radio does not need that
right now? No, no, no, no, no, what the poor song?
What can we not matters? No, no, no, no, no
no worry question. We've got your bad So, Patsy, what's
what is the song that your mum used to love
listening to?
Speaker 4 (39:27):
She did like the gid Runners.
Speaker 17 (39:29):
No, not.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Your moms heavy.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
She's a raver. No, I'll have some explaining to.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Do today, sorry, Mamma Newman.
Speaker 13 (39:43):
She did like staying Alive by the Begs because she
had a theory that the GiB Brothers were somehow related to.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Her theory based on what any hard maps theory I
just got. It's just a vibe actually has seen them.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Her mother was a GiB and it was spelt the
same way.
Speaker 13 (40:00):
And I can remember growing up if she ever heard
that song, she'd goes relighted to the to these boys,
to the kid brothers.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
I said, I don't think so much. Although I lived
in Australia, there's got to be a connection.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Lord Christian, my dad, whose birthday would have been today,
blessed me. He's not around anymore, but you're making me
think good memories of man love. Willy Nelson on the
road again, this is a great song. Should We traveled
from Melbourne to the Gold Coast one year in the
car down proceeded to play this pretty much on the
(40:33):
peat until the tape got chewed in the tape deck?
Did you chew it? Come on, Danny, did you do it?
I think in the end of my mom throwing it
out the windows. You don't throw Willy out of the car, Danny.
Thank you very much, mate, great great song, Linda. So
what's the song that reminds me of? Reminds you so
(40:54):
not me of your parents used to listen to kick
back when you weren't around with your dad.
Speaker 17 (41:05):
Well, for me, it has to be the Last Faulse
by englebirth Humpty. Mum and dad were set up on
a blind date. Actually by there my grandparents and the
neighbors over the back fence, and they all got together
and decided that the boys needed a big night out
dancing with some girls.
Speaker 15 (41:22):
And the rest is history.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
This is before apps. This is the way it was done.

much gotchat just a show show.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Don't tell the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
If you've got a weird unusual body part. Bridge That
was possibly the first person to have a tendon transplant
in nineteen seventy, only nine years old. They took attendent
from the toe and transplanted it onto my thumb. Bridgie.
That is incredible. I'd love to know why. Yes, Sharon's
(03:36):
husband has many spleens on his spleen. Oh wow, Karen
has multiple spleens. I didn't know you could have multiple
spleens in city. Thank you maright.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
It's that bedside manner that the doctor's name. Yeah, extra
splains the spin city in this bed here. My dad
and not only my dad, are other people in his
side of the family have web toes between the second
and third toe.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh wow, you didn't get it.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I didn't, unfortunately get it. I mean, maybe you don't
want it, but I always thought he could swim faster.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yes, So what is that genetic mutation?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I guess so only on one foot?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You know what? You know what that is? Web city?
So what have you got?
Speaker 10 (04:24):
A weird lynn, I've got my big toe and my
sum are about the same size.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
So you've got a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
That's a big toe long yep.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Yeah, so I take a size thirteen.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Shoe, but that's just a toe.
Speaker 11 (04:40):
Not quite.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
No, I just wanted to just happened to stick more
to to and realized that, so.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Both feet have really long toes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, or just what feet? Yep?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
But I didn't regular.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
We just went it might be an abnormality just on
one side, you know, so both sides gotcha? Gotcha? Mumble
dad got one of those orses? You no just me,
just me, amazing, Lynn, Thank you very much. She cool.
Don't tell you what must have looked quite quite the
citing thongs, Tonty. You know you you noticed that hanging
off the front proportions aren't right or something like that.
Speaker 9 (05:20):
But I said, I, if I've heard the shops or
something like that and I need to measure something, I
just sort of put a foot in front of each
other and I can measure things out of course.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yep, gotcha, Lin Bye bye. Now, by the way, you
notice that. But she's a cave and had got being
ready for that call with a ruler. This in case
you wanted to sort of measure out on the show
or something. For you guys, Sarah, thanks to you on
the show. And uh oh are you the tendon transplant?
Speaker 12 (05:51):
Well, I also had a tendon transplant in nineteen eighty
seven because I was born with a sum that does
not bend like it's just a right thumb.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (06:10):
So so I when I was about sort of, you know,
seven or eight years old something like that, I went
in and they decided they were going to transplant a
tendon from well, graft a tendent from my arm that
you apparently don't need and put it in my thumb, so.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Apparently you don't need kind of like Bogan doctor said
that take that from. I don't even know what that
bid does, but I just take it off and if
you need a bat, I'll put it back off.
Speaker 12 (06:37):
But unfortunately it didn't work, so I still have a
thumb that does not bend.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're kidding after all that they couldn't fix it. No,
oh my god, I'm so annoyed. You're going to go
to the hospital, be prepared, have the anesthetic be cut up,
and then it didn't work.
Speaker 12 (06:54):
It's an excellent party trick. People love to look at
my thumb with the no.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Knuckle, so but it still doesn't go down.
Speaker 12 (07:01):
No, it's like I can I can hitchhike, but I
can't bend it. I can't hold a tennis racket or
a or a you know like that.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's not much of a party trick because you can't
show just by showing a straight thumb that it stays
straight all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We can do because later on in the same tim
the people I told I go, I hold the thumb up,
and they go because it hasn't hasn't gone by down.
Speaker 12 (07:22):
You know, but it doesn't have those wrinkles. You know,
everybody's got those wrinkles where your knuckle is.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I don't have those.
Speaker 12 (07:27):
It's just smooth. So people like to look at it
and pat it.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So you've got no, you've got no knuckles.
Speaker 12 (07:33):
I've got no knuckle on my right thumb.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Interesting, where's a knuckle?
Speaker 12 (07:38):
You don't have a look at your thumb. You can
say it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, no, no, not mine. I know where the knuckle is.
And when you've got no knuckle, got no knuckle, that's
what you should have done, is took a knuckle from somewhere,
put that on there, or made one in the laboraxy.
Your print went off, Prince, Oh they can now with
these laser Princess. You go there and go office works.
I need a knuckle.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
For O'Connell's show. You have been driving and someone tries
to get your attention and to get you to wind
the window.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Down because you've done something wrong on the right.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah, you're always in two minds, like what it is?
What it is that your first actually had that? Whatever
is the outside of this window? Don't need to worry
about it. I look at it later.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I've definitely done that stair forward before, where you know
you're peripheral, someone's trying to get your attention.
Speaker 3 (08:21):

hand signal where you know. So anyway, I was at
some lights this morning and it's early, it's like ten
past five. It's just me and this other dude, and
he's wound his window down and and at first I
thought I couldn't work out why was he bothering me?
And then so I wound the window down and this
guy told me that there's no lights on the back
(08:42):
of the car. There's lights on the front, but at
the back, and one was just I just saw went off.
You know, we just think that's something else got sweat today.

could afford getting.

even want to flash at them.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
In cases side strangers a lot going pulling up next
to me and saying like, just so you know what

turns around and there he is right next to me.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
I'm going to ride ear him.
Speaker 15 (15:32):
And no one recognized him. You just walk around with
a cap and a T shirt on and runners and
and mate said you need to ring up a radio station.
This is back in the nineties, because apparently he was
turning up and Sydney Airport, big entourage there, but no
one saw him.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
So did you ring the radio station.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
No, I didn't time, so he just regrets you did
all this time late to look thirty years later tomorrow

Wow, this is huge?
Speaker 16 (16:39):
How come she was on holidays in Scottsdale, Arizona, staying
with a friend of hers who lives in a very
exclusive golf resort. And one of my wife's friend's golfing
buddies has been friends with Assel Rose for about thirty years.
And he was about to head to la the following
day to and his birthday party.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
And your wife said no?
Speaker 16 (17:02):

I was only a child though at the time I
was nine years old.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Wow, and where was this?
Speaker 14 (21:03):
So he was a project manager at number one Martin
Place when they were referbing and there was a antique
staircase and they wanted to shoot a scene of the
film there. So the job shut down.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
For three days.
Speaker 14 (21:16):
And while it was all happening, he just asked the
crew like, look, can I bring my daughters into to
meet the stars. And that's how it happened.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Good on them. I love that they went, yeah, why not.
Now it's probably different times and a bit more changed
by I love the how cool? So you got to
meet Keana? Have you got any photos?
Speaker 17 (21:32):
No?
Speaker 10 (21:33):
I didn't get any photos. He was in the middle
of filming, so he was a bit rushed. Kryn had
certainly working.

In front of the camera, and your old man's quick
selfie neo.

He was probably a bit annoyed.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
But carry Anne was in her dressing gown, no makeup,
about to go into hair and makeup, so she stopped
and gave my sister and I a little bit of
a hug and a chat.

stuff we just chuck into Google right constantly, just as
put that on Google, just random. It's just all this
random noise in your head just dumped in there. And
earlier I was just looking at I had, I had
one hundred and seventy six tabs opened my phone, one
hundred and seventy six and it's just random gobbledy Google.
(23:44):
Now that is what it's like in my head. And

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Four all you need. I missed by you, honestly from
this that three years I was trying.

To do the fry that because it doesn't owe you any.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The amount of times you actually need the utility of
something to chuck in the back. You'll love it. The
only problem is then you become somebody that's a favor
of Oh what are you doing something?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You bring yourself yours? And the mattress friend of mine
gave me a lift and we had dinner on Friday
night and he's just got a what do you call it?
A raptor.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You're going to one of those beast ones, So you
want to ram something rare.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I didn't realize how much those things are. That there
are a lot that's not persaisly. They about hundreds.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
He almost ran me over when you came to one
last game.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
He should have one. We're not dermy, we don't belong
in one of those. My friend gave me a left
home in this this raptor thing right and and it
was making this noise. It's a bloody other. The ground
that it's got four different sound effects. It's got four
different the exhaust has four different sounds. So it's got

us guys in our fifties, we're going to put on
the noisy one as we driveing the light hoos and it's.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Like, see, I thought you wanted it for actual utility,
not because you're going through some middle life crisis. Where
in the sound of noisy car, it's.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Fifty to fifty Jack, if I'm on it, it's fifty
to fifty.

the teachers know what they're doing, the little crap to
get the energy out of them.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
Anyway, So her house house color is burgundy. And as

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Of course, what's you're competing in?

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Kids?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Her mates?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
No, that's a bit creepy.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
It's like, look, she she didn't want to compete, but
she was like ahead of the cheer squad, and we said,
you know what, that's fine, you're having a go.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
She's not fond of you know.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I get it. I'm the guy. Yes, let back to
where ward today whatever you say, lace up some trainers

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Now anyway, that's not the project.
Speaker 13 (28:27):
So the house colour is burgundy. And as I'm approaching,
I noticed there something on her face. Anyway, I get
there and I notice she's wearing makeup.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
She'll probably going out in the afternoon.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
She didn't have anything to do.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Those other suffers are doing the actual competing. Came up
and I said to.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You, are you wearing eyeline?
Speaker 13 (28:46):
And she's like, Mom, shut up, We're all wearing it.
So apparently they had like burgundy eyeliner and then they
had like the house name up their arms.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
That's like the spirit of the day, Patsy Visio, this
is wokeness. They're wearing eyeliner. Now, Chris, this is the
beginning of it.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I'll just have to crop you out of all the photos.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
All your friends competing.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Christian O'Connell's show. Have you got a story that's going
to make us say, wow, we had a great one
about two weeks ago from Susie.
Speaker 16 (29:22):
My oldest aunt was the chimpanzee.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Wow. Yeah, Wow, you have to get where Patsy. What's
not well about that?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, I'm still in shock.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
My oldest aunt was the chimpanzee.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Oh, there we go. It was just like a bit
of a delay. Sometimes. Have you got a story that's
going to make us say? Wow? Damn? What's your story
for us? Mate?
Speaker 11 (29:44):
So, when my grandfather died, we found out he had
a false identity in two families. What So when he
passed away, we were cleaning out the house and our
family was in the middle of doing our family tree,
and we found a whole bunch of letters underneath a
false cavity in his house, and there were letters between
(30:09):
the two wives which had both passed away, and it
was explaining where he was and everything like that. And
then the two families lived literally less than five kilometers apart,
but the kids went to one set of kids went
to a private school, one went to a public school,
so they never crossed parts. And we actually didn't meet
(30:33):
the family the other part of the family until the
funeral arrangements were being started and we didn't know about
them until then.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Damn, this is one of most incredible stories we've ever heard.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
So yeah, literally we started doing funeral arrangements and then
we had all these other contacts and it's like, we
don't know who this is and I was the half
brother and half sister.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Oh my god, Well, how did your family feel about
all this?
Speaker 11 (31:03):
It took a lot to comprehend because we were going
when we started doing funeral arrangements, and we actually contacted
a lot of the local cemetery. It gets weirder than this.
He had assumed his older brother's identity and he ran
two social Security numbers, but stuff like that. But he
literally had two names. But when we went to the
(31:25):
funeral arrangements for the cemetery, his older brother had come
down looking for him and died and he was buried
in the same cemetery.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh my god, this is unbelievable. So he really was
leading a double life.
Speaker 11 (31:40):
Yeah, for pretty much, we estimate around forty five years.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
It's so risky to have them five k's away that
you think you'll never bother.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
These stories of people in America who found this out,
You know, when it's different states and even in Australia,
different states, way five cas it's so easy to bother
take your other wife.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yea, literally three or four suburbs across from each.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Other's nothing is it? And so what was the impact
on your your family?
Speaker 10 (32:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
It was, Well, the inheritance had to be split four
ways instead of two ways, right.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Other than the financial impact, a lot more sort of emotion.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
It was.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
It was. It was really really strange because obviously my
dad and his sister had never never even knew and
there was a whole hard to deal with in a
family that we didn't even know about.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Because you must have so many questions that you want
to ask that person, but they're not there.
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yeah, there was. Literally my dad spent a good couple
of months just talking to his half brother and half
sister and everything like that, whereas his sister didn't want
anything to do with it.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
So your your dad and his sister didn't know anything
about it. Did the other family know there was a
second family?
Speaker 11 (33:01):
No, I didn't know anything about each other?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Amazing that So sister, your dad's sister wanted no part
of any kind of conversations or trying to put all
the pieces together.
Speaker 11 (33:11):
But your dad did, Yeah, how.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Do you even start You look at each other, we're
kind of similar, and maybe you start talking about dates
were you there?
Speaker 11 (33:23):
And so it was totally bizarre. So there's a whole
set of cousins everything like that. Yeah, it was totally bizarre,
like and this is over, well, this is over thirty
years ago that this happened. But yeah, that was just
absolutely totally bizarre.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Dan, thank you very much for sharing that with us.
I wonder if today I'll get other emails if people
who found out stuff like this. But Dan incredibly well
told and isn't It's a series of like four or
five incredible stories, and I'm sure there's many more as well.
But thank you very much for giving us a call
and sharing it with us today as well.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
But Christian Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
There are certain songs that remind me of my mom
and dad. Whenever I hear them, I'm instantly back to
thinking about my parents, and I think for all of us,
there are certain songs that when you were growing up,
your mom and dad would listen to them, and you
not really heard music that since they're not their songs.
It's like whenever you hear these songs, it's like, look,
time traveling capsule. So there's a song by a band
called the Three Degrees. There are seventies, sort of soul
(34:23):
band from America. My dad used to love them. I
think you know, he fancied one of the singers. I
think it's way mainly liked it. And I could tell
whenever Dad was home, you'd hear this. You used to
have this song cassette and whenever you used to pick
me and my mates up, like late night parties, right,
(34:44):
we'd be barely cut and you'd hear me and my mates,
you know about eighteen. There are all kinds of states,
and I'm like, you could show like you were some
kind of late night vigilante.
Speaker 15 (34:54):
You know, this is so regious.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yes, maybe they should play this outside the MTG when
everyone's pouring out after a big game to the losing side,
you know, just the fans who are like, you know
know what, or they're.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Just a game.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's about life. It's different to the come on, let's let's.
Speaker 11 (35:15):
Hug it out.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
And then from my moment, was there she loves Simon
our Guard fun call and this song Homeward Bound, which
is a great song.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Shall when my mom's escaping, when my names, explaining.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
When I hear this now I can see the picture
of the vinyl that she had, not that that song
a right and almost a kid certain thing scared you.
You look back now just suddenly realize Simon from Simon
and Garfunkle scared the hell out of me. Even then
I was, oh my god, that man really good hair.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
It was the.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Remember years many years later, I was off the chance
to interview when I went to producing, and I didn't
want to say because you went, oh I can thought
you might mentioned, and I went, no, I don't think
the orders have been interested. Now that's a drove of home.
Why don't I want? Oh my gosh, his hair I
saw him. I think I might wet myself.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
I could do a phone interview, baby, but definitely not
in person.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
God now like, oh my god, it was you.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I love that song. But we should talk to our
irrational things that scared you as a kid, Simon and
Garfunkel because of his hair A great artist, Jack, what's
it for you? Reminds you' have doed?
Speaker 5 (36:35):
First of all, Dad, I loved this seventies band that
I haven't ever heard again of since it only existed
in our house. He had all the records of this
band called UFO.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I've never heard of them. This spells like a song
that Tarantino is going to dust off and be back
in a song. It's Kurt Russell and a big muscle car.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
But when he wasn't letting you his seventies hard rock.
We would wake up some Sunday mornings to the soundtrack
of Last of the Mohicans.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What did you get.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Sunday mornings?
Speaker 17 (37:10):
Is right?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Was that my parents shook control of the music setting
you know soundtracks?
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
And Dad had the sage feature Just a man reading
the newspaper with a cup of tea.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Isn't it? And what's this one for your mum? Chris Isaac?
Speaker 5 (37:26):
Yeah, my memory of my mum listening to this is
like staring out the window window into the middle distance,
lost somewhere else listening to.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I think every mom listen right now knows that stare
that yearning. Patsy, what's the song that reminds you of
your parents?
Speaker 12 (37:43):
Dad?
Speaker 13 (37:43):
Dad was a truck driver and on school holidays we
used to no, not Dad, No, this is it?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
I know it should be Platters twilight time.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Oh sorry, Oh, this is a great tube.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Dad would play it at all over over, no other song.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Listen to over that my dad would. There's like a
similar vibe the late night, the twilight hours, aren't they really?
And what about mom?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Mom was.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
The wrong one?
Speaker 4 (38:22):
I actually didn't pick one.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Form this little page that we've got for what we're
doing here for our songs that will been loaded in.
For some reason, it says by your mom, all right,
we don't cover that one in a bit.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Though, Christian O'Connell show on podcast.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
As you're calling in and we're going through all your
calls on our phone system, here, the producers can label
up a little bit of detail about you, maybe where
you're from, a simple innocent phone in light. What song
reminds you of your mom and dad? I don't know
why one of you has simply been labeled up nos,
some kind of devil worshiping, goat slaughtering song. Do not
(39:09):
do not speak to him? Radio does not need that
right now? No, no, no, no, no, what the poor song?
What can we not matters? No, no, no, no, no
no worry question. We've got your bad So, Patsy, what's
what is the song that your mum used to love
listening to?
Speaker 4 (39:27):
She did like the gid Runners.
Speaker 17 (39:29):
No, not.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Your moms heavy.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
She's a raver. No, I'll have some explaining to.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Do today, sorry, Mamma Newman.
Speaker 13 (39:43):
She did like staying Alive by the Begs because she
had a theory that the GiB Brothers were somehow related to.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Her theory based on what any hard maps theory I
just got. It's just a vibe actually has seen them.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Her mother was a GiB and it was spelt the
same way.
Speaker 13 (40:00):
And I can remember growing up if she ever heard
