Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Jack has a chilling story.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
This is email from a guy called Zach who's never
contacted the show. I've never met, and for no reason,
he's sent in a photo of his foot and it
has Jack Post tattooed on it.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
The only explanation he gave was, I'm really keen to
one day show Jack my tatoo that I got for
some unknown reason while I was a few deep in Thailand.
That's it.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
So I said to Jack, do you want to try
and get hold of this guy to bring him in
on the show.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think we should.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
I think we should surprise you a lovely surprise to
come face to face with.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I would be scared if even a friend or family
member got my name tatooed, let alone a complete stranger.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
It's a lot.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
It's a lot, isn't it for someone to get your
name or anyone's name ink on them permanently on their foot.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's always there, and.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Every time I look and I get an iggy feeling
about it.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
It's not just that it's like you think about you know,
so he's an Australian, right, so you're going to see
that foot a lot. Aren't you in thongs during the
summers here and stuff that people are going to go,
Oh you Jack Posts? No?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Do you know him?
Speaker 7 (01:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Do you are?
Speaker 6 (01:19):
You? Find of its gay kind of No matter how
many beers you've had, it still doesn't make it right.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
The only reason I would want to talk to him,
maybe you guys talked to him and I won't be
in the studio is just to find out how much
he regretted it the next day. If he was a
few drinks deep in Thailand and he woke up and
he thought, what have I done? Why have I got
this random person's name on my foot?
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I wonder if he's ever thought, you know, you see
these TV shows, don't you like tattoo? Makeup is where
they can twist it into something else?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, make it into anything. A snake and a sword?
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Oh beautiful that I think the jack Post is actually better?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh yeah, for sure, upgrades. That's a snake too.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Why you got a little snake and a Sword's powerful?

Mortant questions to know? All right, So today we want
to hear stories. Have you got something like this? A
regrettable tattoo. You've also got the swallows.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I don't regret my tattoo.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
You should do.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm true that in as a thirty five year old,
I wouldn't go.
Speaker 8 (02:23):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He's gonna go, what the hell? Sit down there? Tell
me this.

try and estimate mine as a reminder. Time is precious.
Debbie goes on to say I would never get a
partner or husband tattooed on me because husbands and even
wives can come and go, but your kids.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Are always your kids. You should put that in the
tattoo as well. That is chilly. Wow. We that is
the spirit, Oh do ob Debbie? All right? Me good
what's your regrettable tap?
Speaker 9 (03:30):
In my early twenties, I'm a scorpid, so I decide
to get a scorpion, which ended up like a lobster
and he held it looks like a reddish, bluish, blackish
blob cover.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Anyway, Oh no, no, keep going, that's nice. What is it?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
I see it on their face before when they asked
the question, and they're like, oh, okay, so what's that? Yeah, okay,
so I get it. It's a love stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Yes, it's lovely, all right, Mega the lobster, Thanks for

nine toto.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I mean that love heart beautiful.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
And not long after that marriage for so no, and
I ended up marrying someone with the same name.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Would that name you want to get in my heart? Now?
I mean, on this tattoo you have the same name.
It's a deal breaker.

When you're making you a Tinder profile has to be
called Samanta.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, but she wanted too fond of it, No, I
bet so.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
I ended up getting it covered up with a big
dragon on it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
What is it? The dragon is to go to cover up?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Now, whenever I see anyone with a dragon tattoo and
what's underneath that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
What do you.

Speaker 14 (08:20):
When the brand new cars come off the ship in
the docks, I have to put the car up.
Speaker 13 (08:25):
On the hoist, sit under it for about an hour
and a half two hours with a stick wrapped.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
With duct tape on the end of it, and go through.
Speaker 13 (08:32):
The whole underneath of the car, the engine bay, the.
Speaker 14 (08:36):
Whole lot and pick up little little tiny seeds like
the size of a rice grain.
Speaker 13 (08:42):
And find them all for quarantine.

So it's border force, but for cars.
Speaker 14 (08:47):
Yeah, there's little tiny seeds that come from overseas and
you've got to get them out for quarantine. And then
once you finish the car, bio security come and check
the whole car.
Speaker 12 (08:56):
I stay for in one seat.
Speaker 13 (08:58):
You have to redo the whole.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Car, mimy. It is rigorous.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
I remember when we emigrated here, we had had to
really clean all the older walking boots, the mountain bikes,
any bit of sea on make yeah, overseas signing mud
in this country, Pommy no way.
Speaker 12 (09:16):
And about a month ago one car failed, so we
had to do the whole lot of those cars again,
which was about fifty sixty cars.

That's a great one thanks, according in.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Mate Christian Connor show podcast, Kids.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
These days, what would they have no idea about to.
Speaker 15 (09:51):
No idea what it's like waiting for the Top forty
all week to come on to record your favorite song
and then cursing the name of the DJ who talked
through the Daria song.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Kids these days would have no idea about a only having.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
A bath once a week and then having to get
in after your two brothers have already been in there.
Speaker 13 (10:08):
Kids these days apparently don't know how to post the
letter heading out somewhere. My fifteen year old son and
I I had a letter to post. I gave it
to him and I said, quick, go go go, and
he's just standing there, he said where.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
We had some more that didn't make it to air
that When I came in after the show, David had
to explain what a warpman was to my nineteen year
old employee at work, Christian kid. These days, I know
about rewinding a cassette with a pencil. Those were the
days pushing a manual car to get a rolling start.
Paying at the supermarket by check, yeah, I remember that
(10:43):
big old machine they used to go. Have to get
out that slightly thing under the desk when you.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Pay right out of check to the cashier.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Yeah, then they used to you remember perhaps that big
sort of used to win about three knots, that big
sort of brick theysed to to get out and then
sort of take copies of the of the visa check.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
My parents still like to pay in check, but.
Speaker 16 (11:03):
You can't hit like a roadblock because now the banks
won't issue them at all. So for older people who
have like they always did business with check, so it's like, oh,
what do we do now they can't pay by check?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Then used to be the way you would pay, like
trade's and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Well, it just makes no sense to me because the
check is the easiest thing. But you see old movies
and they're like, oh, the check bounds, the check bounds.
It's like, yeah, because all you have to do is
right on a piece of paper. How can anybody tell
if you had money in that bank account on that?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Let's go to Andrew. Good morning Andrew.
Speaker 10 (11:34):
Kids these days would have no idea that yet to
physically get out of your chair walk up to the
television to change the channel.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Yeah, normally sort of yelled at by your mum or
dad who would just sit there sort of static and
expected you to sort of be their human assistant to
go and do that. Yeah, you're right, Andrew, that's a
great one, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Shekle.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Christian Connor show podcast.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Pass he was sharing a sad story about a yeah
beloved family members family heirloom that was handed to Patsy
a chopping board.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Yes, nearly one hundred year old.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Troppy chopping Why is it so small?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
It's tiny, little portion relatives.
Speaker 16 (12:18):
But has seen many a stew and many from her
garden chopped on that. I can feel the spirit of
great Aunt Long.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Half a carrot at a time on this tiny.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But I love it.
Speaker 16 (12:30):
It's just a perfect size. I don't anything too big.
It's just great because you can wash it quickly and it's.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Just very quickly trickle of water is done.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But then why are you putting it in the dish washing?
That's the reason it broken.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I think it accidentally went in there. Let's not go.

for the being.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
This stuff I've got.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I perhaps got a message yesterday from a professional restorer,
and I just presume where you go with that guy.
I was like, no, no, no, Jack could be fine, and
I'm like, okay, this is a pro though he does
this for an actual living.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I got this glue to glue in a piece of
my piano that had come out, and I tell you,
the whole that it has is incredible. You'll pull all
day on that piece that I glued in and you'll
never come out.
Speaker 16 (13:24):
We'll get it right then, because once it's glued, if
it's not glued right, you.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Like gloves or anything. So you got what it is
that gorilla group.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Called Gorilla Grip. We can't even say Gorilla Grip. Incredibly
strong bonds, metal, glass, fabric, wood, ceramic, leather, paper, plastic,
and more.

it needs.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Actually zoned out from I forgot us live on the
radio and it was Jack's repair shop.
Speaker 4 (14:21):

Okay, So you have.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Like pegs to hold it together, though, like, how's it going?

When I was about eight years old, I remember Mum
had this old plate that she got handed down from
her mum who's not with us anymore, and it sat
on top of like just this little bench near the
kitchen table was always there, and I knocked it over
once right in front of Mum, and I could see
her just.

One hundred different pieces, and I started crying because I
knew how much it meant to her, and I could
see Mom devastated, but also like trying to protect me.

I still remember the words she said.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
She said, it's all right, darling, It's it's just stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
It's just stuff. And it stuck with I still.

fight through her so upset about it, but just trying
to like make me.

Speaker 15 (18:07):
Happened when my wife and I first got married. We
hadn't lived together before, so we were loading all the
furniture up into the trailer and I thought her father.
I thought her father had tied it all down. He
thought I'd tied it down. Driving along, and her childhood
bed came flying out the back of the trailer onto
the road and got run over by a truck. And
(18:28):
eighteen and a half years later, I still get reminded
of it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Running over your child he said, rough stories to hear,
aren't they they are? Don't belong on a Friday bar.

Speaker 7 (18:49):
It wasn't me. I saw this poor man get pooed
on by a pelican.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What a great thing to witness, though, right it was.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
I have to say I was looking at this pelican
sitting on a lamp post, thinking, imagine getting pood on
by a pelican. And I looked down and this man
and his wife had just come out to go for
a walk on the pier, but got him dead in
the center. And he kind of looked around like what
was that? And then he looked up and saw this
pelican and turned.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
What are the odds you were thinking it? And then
it happened? Tomi, Thank you very much. Do we want
any more of these?

Now.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I don't know if you've ever tried to move a
fridge before. They are they're dead weights with.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That strange, mysterious bottle in the back, free on zen on,
whatever it is that's in there that keeps that fridge
all cold.
Speaker 16 (20:02):
And you're not meant to tip it over on a
certain direction, are you? Or rex the fridge because of
the gas thing in it?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Is that a myth?
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Everybody said you can lay it down for a short
amount of time. It's almost like the fridge doesn't know
what you're doing. But if it's more than a couple
of hours, goes, oh god, now don't get down here.
No no, no, no, no no, your milk is not
gonna be cold anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
My friend, you know this about.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Us fridges, keep us up right, don't put us down.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Not bellies.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
So anyway, I've got a friend go around. Yeah, well
he's already trying to get it twice, so it's come
around tomorrow to do it. What tips I think I'm
going to do the blanket bit right because I've got
bilding floorboard, So get a blanket underneath it. Slide slide, slide, slide,
slide to the front door.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Then I don't know what next. Well, let me pick
it out and go on holiday.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Let me be a recent warning. Remember I scratched my
floor two meters across the floorboards moving that piano.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I think you have the magic blanket under it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I don't know if a blanket, if there's something sticky
under there, it's going to scrap.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Haven't you got a gurney on wheels?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's what sort of real man?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
What?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I don't even know what that something they put somebody
in an ambulance is.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
It's what they call it trolley things.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, can you get those at Bunnings?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, we got ours at Bunnings.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
What maybe I'll go get one of those. And I
feel like your proper sort of that's probably like Dad stuff,
isn't it? And the mount rushmore of ultimate Dad stuff?
That howm one of those? You can borrow mine date
I've got one.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It feels like specialist equipment to me.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
That very handy around, but you reckon you can lug
a fridge with that love. God uses it all.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
The time, all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Wheel already to score.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Now the fridge over there. I put it back on
the north door.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
We kept borrowing, Dads, and he said, you know what,
I think I need to get one. And it's priceless.
We borrow it, lend it out to neighbors and this.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is what they say on Antiques Road Show. Some Bunnings gurnie, but.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
What you have. So Christian was telling us about this Patty,
and then Tom came in and said, you have to
strap yourself to the fridge. That's how the real removals
start doing. And then describe a series of straps that
you wear around your shoulder and put.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
On your back.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I think it was someone from sexy Land.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Plate the Christian O'Connell show podcast Perats.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
It was at the supermarket yesterday and it spotted something
about the supermarket that I think drives us all nuts.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What is it about the deli at the supermarket?
Speaker 16 (22:25):
It offers you the best of the world and also
the worst of the world, Like it's just a quarter
copier of goodness.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Now, Patsy's right, it's the it's the best and the
food of the world with the worst of humanity.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
It really is. Why do people have to take so long, oh.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
God, wandering up and down there, having a little walk
in and look seeing and nibble on this.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I know why because when you wait for your turn,
and it's your turn, you feel like, all right, now
it's my show.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, you know what you want, you order it, you
get off, get down wondering on your time?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
When is tickets. It's like jumping out of an airplying
it's go time.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Okay, you don't start hanging around there taking photos and train.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh no, not.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Free. You know the tomatoes?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What was it that ham?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
This happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
And I'm also one of these people that I don't
go in drammach I'm not good with numbers, so I
won't say, give me two fifty grams if you triple
smoked ham blad.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I'm not professional butcher. None of us are very good
at that.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I'll be like, just give me a fistfull.
Speaker 16 (23:34):
Oh no, give me saying that.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Get your mind out of the gutter. But I'm very.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Jump it's not tasty as well, it doesn't.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
Make But also with the kabana, I cut to the
chase because I always say, oh is it okay if
I breaking?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I say it's have two sticks to cabana and you
can break it. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Like I cut the Becoming Italian chase.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
But there's protocols that have to be adhered to at
the deli. Not enough people do.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Well, you would hate this, then do you had the
injustice of people taking your turn because no one No
one uses the number system they have it there.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
But yeah, in the UK, well, you know we love
a queue that is that's punishable with prison time you
start Q jumping.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You ever got the little number? We use the number
you might.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
As well be picking rubbish off the ground. No one's
using that.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
They don't hear. They don't recognize a numb thing. Here's
what I think they should do. The moment you go
forward and your case is now active, right, there should
be a countdown like lights to change, okay, and it's
thirty seconds yeah, and starts and then like the oscars,
the music plays off, the lights change, you go, they
(24:56):
start talking to the next person behind you.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You want the soup Nazi from sign.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Piers Christian O'Connell show on podcast to down show.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Then what got taped over?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
If you're a charter of the eighties and the early nineties,
then your videos were the Holy Girl.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
They recorded your TV shows.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
It wasn't like on demand like it is now, or
there was no YouTube or Google wing could rewind and
watch clips whenever you one. You recorded your things, and
then you had on big capitols. This is Christian's video
and pulling off the little tabs. Remember the little tabs,
so no one could tape over it, but brothers, cousins,
everyone would.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Tape over it.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You used to be a seller tape over that little gap.
That little thing used to break off the tab. So
day we want to know what got taped over Christian.
I accidentally taped over my stepdad's wedding video to his
first wife with Greece Too Sure.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It was.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Debbie accident recorded over the ultrasound of her some with
Hey Hey, It's Saturday, Heather Davies and in CIVI with
Skid Road that was on MTV when they came to
Australia in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I watched her every day.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
It had the video clip for I Remember You with
Sebastian about looking mighty fine on it. I wrote, do
not tape over and my dad didn't give it a
second thought, stick and tape over that tab section recorded
a Grand Final over. I still hold a grudge to
(26:26):
this day about that. All right, So the day we
want to know what got taped over for me?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I had rare footage Christian that my dad taped over
Green Day were on a live music show that they
used to have in Australia called Recovery every Saturday morning,
truly live, so much so that they took the house
band band's instruments and being the punk rock legends that
they were, they sung a song with f words through it,
but there was nothing that the ABC could do to
(26:53):
stop them. So that became rare footage because these days
before YouTube, there was no unless you had the tape,
there was no way you could watch these the swear
words come out. Then my dad taped over it with
state of origin.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's to what replaces your Holy Grail? Isn't it?
Speaker 6 (27:11):
The state of honors? In a Grand Final for the
skid Row interview? All right, Lucy, what got taped over? So?
Speaker 17 (27:17):
When I was about sixteen, I stayed up and watched
all of Live Aid, the three day concert, the Bob
Gelder concert, and I taped every act every three hours.
I would change my videos over. I would have an
alarm suit in case I fell asleep. And my whole
collection of video is my brother's taped over with football games's.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
My sister taped over Live with Black Beauty, the movie
She's Into Horses.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
We're still not good.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Because of that, I lost all the Springsteen, I lost
the YouTube, I lost the Queen bit all that recorded.
They were flipping Black Beauty.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
YEP, it's our.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Pain, Lucy, We'll always have it, all right, Lucy, you
have a lovely weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Thanks you calling. Thanks you, Adam.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Look, in nineteen eighty seven we had our first family.
Dad sold the Taranta. I bought a Torago. We traveled
over on the Nuther Board and he bought a brand
new camera and that nineteen eighty seven. It was one
that went over your shoulder, had a battery pack that
wait about ten kilo pretty much that pretty much had
a VHS that you had to put a normal sized
video into as well. So he was carting that around
for two weeks. There was sweat lock at Gypsy with
(28:21):
them all into a two weeks. Mate didn't see anything
out of his own eye, didn't see a thing out
of his own eye for two weeks his video filming.
We went to a stadium, massive hor schhow my brother
got pulled out of the crowd, and so Dad filmed that.
That was quite special as well. So after the two
weeks we got home and the tape sat up in
the cupboard for about ten years, and one day I
(28:41):
jumped up in the cupboard, I grabbed one from the
station and a film one of my favorite episodes of
X Files and recorded that, mate. So so Mum and
Dad were quite devastated that our first family holiday Molder
and Scully. Nothing beef then, not even a two weeks
with the wa.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Mate, What a story, even just taking us back to
how big and clunky it was like seeing all that gear.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
It would have been like Spielberg filming a movie.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Bigger than any cameras that you see in any news
stations today.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
They huge, weren't they?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I remember my folks would hire them at Christmas. Couldn't
afford to buy one, so for two weeks over Christmas
they would hire that big over the shoulder one. They
took a full VHS in the actual camera itself, recorded
straight onto it amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Exactly right.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
And by the time we got that back, Dad was like,
I haven't actually seen anything myself for two weeks looking
through this thing for two weeks. And then ten years
later we went to dig it out for just a
family night and yeah, Mom and Dad sat down and
watch half an episode.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Of xboles, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Taking you back to the daste of video players. What
got taped over? Chris?
Speaker 14 (29:54):
Good eye? Christian, here you going, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Buddy, So what got taped over? Mate?
Speaker 14 (29:58):
I used to do a lot of scope, but i'
when I was younger with a couple of mates, and
we've been obsessed with it really And we went up
north to the Force a Ton Curry and I went
diving with the Great Nose sharks. I never shark dive
with sharks before, and anyway, went up there and one
of the guys in there had a video camera, so
they taped it all and I've got a copy of
it off him. Super proud came home.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
It was the only.
Speaker 14 (30:18):
Footage I've ever had of me scuba diving. I was
touching the sharks, which you're not supposed to do. I
was doing all you know it was pretty cool anyway.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
You're not supposed to for several reasons, mainly because their sharks.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Yeah, but they're harmless, the great nurses. They just look ugly,
but yeah, no, they're pretty harmless.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
How did I feel it? But filmed that back in
the day with a video cassette.
Speaker 14 (30:37):
Yeah, that was That was the ironic thing, because I
was pretty pretty rare that people had video cameras back then,
especially to go underwater. So I was super proud of it.
And one day I got all my mates around the
show on the video Yeah, yeah, and home and I
came on.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Me, let me just let me just Afford wants.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh man, that take over a who's taping away?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Is it back on tomorrow?
Speaker 14 (31:13):
We're having a bit of a biso at the time,
so they probably did it on Purpo.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
What a story of revenge the old home and away move.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You're not meant to touch those sharks. No one will
see that.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
You must have been you must have been so angry.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
I've gone devastated for a long time.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, incredible story, Chris, Thank you very much, your story mate,
have a nice weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'll see his own collect Hi.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
Christian and Gang so I'll set the scene for you.
Speaker 14 (31:45):
I'm twelve, thirteen years old.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
I met a girlfriend's birthday. The Graham Kennedy Knight Show
happened to be there filming and they were looking for someone.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
A great actress to skate around the rink and fall
on their bottom multiple times.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
That was me. That was my great actress was discovered.
Speaker 17 (32:05):
So I told my parents and we taped it, and
it was going to be my audition tape to take
and become an actress.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Silbersion filling his next movie with kids who are good skaters, yep.
Speaker 14 (32:22):
This was going to be my This was my moment.
Speaker 17 (32:25):
Years later, I'm looking for that tape.
Speaker 14 (32:27):
I put it in my.
Speaker 15 (32:29):
Crowning Glory and there's a Swan's game on it. I
go to my dad, Dad, this is the only footage
in the world.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
I cannot get this again, and he's like, here Swans.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
And they won no take on, no Hollywood, no Hollywood career.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You killed it.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, Tony Lockett got to.
Speaker 11 (32:51):
Collect no Hollywood career.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Collect Thank you very much for story mate. Have a
nice weekend. You two, Vie and the squeezed Damien in
here well got taped over well.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
First of all, I'm a massive Guns and Roses fan,
and when I was fifteen, MTV had a special on
about one am in the morning, Guns and Roses Live
at the Ritz. Now, I stayed up all night to
record it, fell asleep halfway through. So a couple of
days later I went to watch it and there was
an ESPN football game my older brother had decided to
record over top of it.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Oh it's heartbreaking, up, she isn't because everyone we've spoken to,
although they're laughing about it showing the story, there's still
that part of them that's still so angry.
Speaker 11 (33:32):
Oh well, there's a little bit of a payback twist
to it as well. He went to school camp a
week later, so all his cassette tapes over. At the
start of the Side A and Side B, I recorded
a little voice message for him saying, don't touch my stuff.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Genius, genius payback.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
The payback was great and he was quite upset about it.
But the final two fifteen years later Christmas, he bought
me a David E. Danden Roses Live at the Ritz.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Ah, that's great, Damien, I love your story.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Thank you very much. Have a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
My youngest daughter said, can we play Monopoly tonight? I said,
do you want something? It just to soften up your
mum because my wife loves Monopoly, right, what does he
want this?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Just tell me that now or save us two miserable hours.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
It could be like a chemikaze michion because everybody knows
that a family goes down when Monopoly is brought out.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
So I said, let's go with this. So I brought
her a couple of months ago. She loves David Bowie.
I thought there was a David Bowie themed Monopoly, right,
and so we opened up and it was brilliant. It's like,
instead of the hotels and the yeah, it's stadiums and arenas.
And then all the pieces are related to David Bowie's career.
(34:55):
There's the helmet from Life on Mars. There's a lightning
bolt is last Awme and black Star. There's a are
It's all really well done. Instead of like chance and
committed chance, she got sound and vision and there's no
park Lane and Mayfair.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
They're all different things to do with his career rights.
It's really well done.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Anyway, played for two hours, I lost not before do
you guys cheap.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
By the way, when you playing on no, are you
were you the banker?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
No, I'm I stopped being allowed to the bank at
the age of ten. When people realize I was cycling
off money. When people are arguing, no one's looking, I
just take a little five hundred ear What I would
do is I would stick a five hundred dodgy one
right to my actual one, and a couple of hundreds
as well, so no one knew.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It looked like I only had one hundred, but actually stuck.
There's like three or four there rainy day money. So
how you've been a banker in decades? Here's what you do.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Right When they're arguing and they are doing ugly locks.
There's two women there, right, I was rolling the dice
and building up properties. And then rather than pay the
banker going I paid you earlier, my wife would go, oh.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Sorry, it's to busy argain there would lowest.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
So I asked them I'm actually okay, until they rumbled,
how have your money not gone down? Appearance in building
up for Boeing monopoly.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
So not really a sophisticated cheat, but.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
What it was was teaching a lesson about capitalism. That's
why I did it, guys. It's a teaching moment. Don't
be ning you kind of entrust your daddy business.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
And next time in real life when you have to
pay bills to someone, just don't.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
They're arguing, look, what's that over there?
Speaker 6 (36:20):
As they're not going to do asking for money for
the mortgage spaceship above your head, monky. So the Debby
Bowie monopoly game.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Right.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
The thing that I loved about it was all the
little pieces are related to his his career.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Right. There is a monopoly for everything, isn't there. There's
so many they don't care. I reckon you ring them
and go. It's serial killer monopoly. They're like everyone's gone.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Even when we bought a house, a real estate agent
as a kind of thank you, gave us a Buckster's.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
The real estate has its own branded monopolo. They'll just
give it to anybody.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Don't give it to anybody now.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Sarah said to me, why didn't see if you get
a show? When I went, imagine the humiliation if they
said no that. We've got to protect the brand. Yes,

The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast
Got anything good.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Jack has a chilling story.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
This is email from a guy called Zach who's never
contacted the show. I've never met, and for no reason,
he's sent in a photo of his foot and it
has Jack Post tattooed on it.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
The only explanation he gave was, I'm really keen to
one day show Jack my tatoo that I got for
some unknown reason while I was a few deep in Thailand.
That's it.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
So I said to Jack, do you want to try
and get hold of this guy to bring him in
on the show.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think we should.
Speaker 6 (00:46):
I think we should surprise you a lovely surprise to
come face to face with.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I would be scared if even a friend or family
member got my name tatooed, let alone a complete stranger.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
It's a lot.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
It's a lot, isn't it for someone to get your
name or anyone's name ink on them permanently on their foot.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's always there, and.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Every time I look and I get an iggy feeling
about it.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
It's not just that it's like you think about you know,
so he's an Australian, right, so you're going to see
that foot a lot. Aren't you in thongs during the
summers here and stuff that people are going to go,
Oh you Jack Posts? No?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Do you know him?
Speaker 7 (01:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Do you are?
Speaker 6 (01:19):
You? Find of its gay kind of No matter how
many beers you've had, it still doesn't make it right.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
The only reason I would want to talk to him,
maybe you guys talked to him and I won't be
in the studio is just to find out how much
he regretted it the next day. If he was a
few drinks deep in Thailand and he woke up and
he thought, what have I done? Why have I got
this random person's name on my foot?
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I wonder if he's ever thought, you know, you see
these TV shows, don't you like tattoo? Makeup is where
they can twist it into something else?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, make it into anything. A snake and a sword?
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Oh beautiful that I think the jack Post is actually better?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh yeah, for sure, upgrades. That's a snake too.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Why you got a little snake and a Sword's powerful?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Have you got the words jack Post?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
He's a book.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Mortant questions to know? All right, So today we want
to hear stories. Have you got something like this? A
regrettable tattoo. You've also got the swallows.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I don't regret my tattoo.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
You should do.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm true that in as a thirty five year old,
I wouldn't go.
Speaker 8 (02:23):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He's gonna go, what the hell? Sit down there? Tell
me this.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
So have you got a regrettable tattoo? Not like chack post.
Sorry correction, he's proud of those. I just thought maybe,
but no no awareness there.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

need Wait, you got best before date? Now, might might
try and estimate mine as a reminder. Time is precious.
Debbie goes on to say I would never get a
partner or husband tattooed on me because husbands and even
wives can come and go, but your kids.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Are always your kids. You should put that in the
tattoo as well. That is chilly. Wow. We that is
the spirit, Oh do ob Debbie? All right? Me good
what's your regrettable tap?
Speaker 9 (03:30):
In my early twenties, I'm a scorpid, so I decide
to get a scorpion, which ended up like a lobster
and he held it looks like a reddish, bluish, blackish
blob cover.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Anyway, Oh no, no, keep going, that's nice. What is it?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
I see it on their face before when they asked
the question, and they're like, oh, okay, so what's that? Yeah, okay,
so I get it. It's a love stuff.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Yes, it's lovely, all right, Mega the lobster, Thanks for
calling you, mate. Let's go to Frank Higg. Yeah, we're
going Frank, what's the regrettable tattoo?
Speaker 10 (04:16):
Well? For my ten year anniversary, I got my wash
nine toto.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I mean that love heart beautiful.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
And not long after that marriage for so no, and
I ended up marrying someone with the same name.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Would that name you want to get in my heart? Now?
I mean, on this tattoo you have the same name.
It's a deal breaker.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
When you're making you a Tinder profile has to be
called Samanta.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, but she wanted too fond of it, No, I
bet so.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
I ended up getting it covered up with a big
dragon on it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
What is it? The dragon is to go to cover up?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Now, whenever I see anyone with a dragon tattoo and
what's underneath that?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
What do you.
Speaker 11 (05:03):
I think they would cover it up a little so big?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
All right? And does it do it? Does it look good?
Speaker 12 (05:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It looks all right? Look, so what is it?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Is a dragon now peering around the sort of tattoo
and with a poor over your ex wife's name.
Speaker 11 (05:15):
So the whole love hard sorts completely disappeared into the
body of the dragon.

When the brand new cars come off the ship in
the docks, I have to put the car up.
Speaker 13 (08:25):
On the hoist, sit under it for about an hour
and a half two hours with a stick wrapped.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
With duct tape on the end of it, and go through.
Speaker 13 (08:32):
The whole underneath of the car, the engine bay, the.

Whole lot and pick up little little tiny seeds like
the size of a rice grain.
Speaker 13 (08:42):
And find them all for quarantine.

So it's border force, but for cars.
Speaker 14 (08:47):
Yeah, there's little tiny seeds that come from overseas and
you've got to get them out for quarantine. And then
once you finish the car, bio security come and check
the whole car.
Speaker 12 (08:56):
I stay for in one seat.
Speaker 13 (08:58):
You have to redo the whole.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Car, mimy. It is rigorous.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
I remember when we emigrated here, we had had to
really clean all the older walking boots, the mountain bikes,
any bit of sea on make yeah, overseas signing mud
in this country, Pommy no way.
Speaker 12 (09:16):
And about a month ago one car failed, so we

That's a great one thanks, according in.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Mate Christian Connor show podcast, Kids.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
These days, what would they have no idea about to.
Speaker 15 (09:51):
No idea what it's like waiting for the Top forty
all week to come on to record your favorite song
and then cursing the name of the DJ who talked
through the Daria song.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Kids these days would have no idea about a only having.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
A bath once a week and then having to get
in after your two brothers have already been in there.
Speaker 13 (10:08):
Kids these days apparently don't know how to post the
letter heading out somewhere. My fifteen year old son and
I I had a letter to post. I gave it
to him and I said, quick, go go go, and
he's just standing there, he said where.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
We had some more that didn't make it to air
that When I came in after the show, David had
to explain what a warpman was to my nineteen year
old employee at work, Christian kid. These days, I know
about rewinding a cassette with a pencil. Those were the
days pushing a manual car to get a rolling start.
Paying at the supermarket by check, yeah, I remember that
(10:43):
big old machine they used to go. Have to get
out that slightly thing under the desk when you.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Pay right out of check to the cashier.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Yeah, then they used to you remember perhaps that big
sort of used to win about three knots, that big
sort of brick theysed to to get out and then
sort of take copies of the of the visa check.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
My parents still like to pay in check, but.
Speaker 16 (11:03):
You can't hit like a roadblock because now the banks
won't issue them at all. So for older people who
have like they always did business with check, so it's like, oh,
what do we do now they can't pay by check?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Then used to be the way you would pay, like
trade's and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Well, it just makes no sense to me because the
check is the easiest thing. But you see old movies
and they're like, oh, the check bounds, the check bounds.
It's like, yeah, because all you have to do is
right on a piece of paper. How can anybody tell
if you had money in that bank account on that?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Let's go to Andrew. Good morning Andrew.
Speaker 10 (11:34):
Kids these days would have no idea that yet to
physically get out of your chair walk up to the
television to change the channel.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Yeah, normally sort of yelled at by your mum or
dad who would just sit there sort of static and
expected you to sort of be their human assistant to
go and do that. Yeah, you're right, Andrew, that's a
great one, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Shekle.
Speaker 2 (11:52):

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Pass he was sharing a sad story about a yeah
beloved family members family heirloom that was handed to Patsy
a chopping board.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Yes, nearly one hundred year old.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Troppy chopping Why is it so small?

garden chopped on that. I can feel the spirit of
great Aunt Long.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Half a carrot at a time on this tiny.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But I love it.
Speaker 16 (12:30):
It's just a perfect size. I don't anything too big.
It's just great because you can wash it quickly and it's.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Just very quickly trickle of water is done.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But then why are you putting it in the dish washing?
That's the reason it broken.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I think it accidentally went in there. Let's not go.

for the being.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
This stuff I've got.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
I perhaps got a message yesterday from a professional restorer,
and I just presume where you go with that guy.
I was like, no, no, no, Jack could be fine, and
I'm like, okay, this is a pro though he does
this for an actual living.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I got this glue to glue in a piece of
my piano that had come out, and I tell you,
the whole that it has is incredible. You'll pull all
day on that piece that I glued in and you'll
never come out.
Speaker 16 (13:24):
We'll get it right then, because once it's glued, if
it's not glued right, you.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Like gloves or anything. So you got what it is
that gorilla group.

Called Gorilla Grip. We can't even say Gorilla Grip. Incredibly
strong bonds, metal, glass, fabric, wood, ceramic, leather, paper, plastic,
and more.

it needs.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Actually zoned out from I forgot us live on the
radio and it was Jack's repair shop.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
It's like, you can't.

Okay, So you have.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Like pegs to hold it together, though, like, how's it going?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
It's still literally my hands are sweaty. You remembering it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
When I was about eight years old, I remember Mum
had this old plate that she got handed down from
her mum who's not with us anymore, and it sat
on top of like just this little bench near the
kitchen table was always there, and I knocked it over
once right in front of Mum, and I could see
her just.

Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Like no, it's like a very fine china like it
shattered into.

One hundred different pieces, and I started crying because I
knew how much it meant to her, and I could
see Mom devastated, but also like trying to protect me.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I still remember the words she said.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
She said, it's all right, darling, It's it's just stuff.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
It's just stuff. And it stuck with I still.
Speaker 8 (16:39):

fight through her so upset about it, but just trying
to like make me.

Speaker 15 (18:07):
Happened when my wife and I first got married. We
hadn't lived together before, so we were loading all the
furniture up into the trailer and I thought her father.
I thought her father had tied it all down. He
thought I'd tied it down. Driving along, and her childhood
bed came flying out the back of the trailer onto
the road and got run over by a truck. And
(18:28):
eighteen and a half years later, I still get reminded
of it.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Running over your child he said, rough stories to hear,
aren't they they are? Don't belong on a Friday bar.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
You quick go to a poop one, just a balance it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't worry. We have a pooing pelican online too,
know me. But what pooped on you?
Speaker 7 (18:49):
It wasn't me. I saw this poor man get pooed
on by a pelican.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What a great thing to witness, though, right it was.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
I have to say I was looking at this pelican
sitting on a lamp post, thinking, imagine getting pood on
by a pelican. And I looked down and this man
and his wife had just come out to go for
a walk on the pier, but got him dead in
the center. And he kind of looked around like what
was that? And then he looked up and saw this
pelican and turned.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
What are the odds you were thinking it? And then
it happened? Tomi, Thank you very much. Do we want
any more of these?
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I mean, keep it open, keep it open, okay, So
what about the sentimental work, Yeah, keep it up, keep everything.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
They work well together.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Weekends are a time when you have to do stuff
you get the excuse of like a busy work stuff
going on Monday to Friday, and then my wife gets
me at the weekend. So tomorrow I have a date
with destiny. I've got to move this big, old ass fridge.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I don't know if you've ever tried to move a
fridge before. They are they're dead weights with.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That strange, mysterious bottle in the back, free on zen on,
whatever it is that's in there that keeps that fridge
all cold.
Speaker 16 (20:02):
And you're not meant to tip it over on a
certain direction, are you? Or rex the fridge because of
the gas thing in it?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Is that a myth?
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Everybody said you can lay it down for a short
amount of time. It's almost like the fridge doesn't know
what you're doing. But if it's more than a couple
of hours, goes, oh god, now don't get down here.
No no, no, no, no no, your milk is not
gonna be cold anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
My friend, you know this about.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Us fridges, keep us up right, don't put us down.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Not bellies.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
So anyway, I've got a friend go around. Yeah, well
he's already trying to get it twice, so it's come
around tomorrow to do it. What tips I think I'm
going to do the blanket bit right because I've got
bilding floorboard, So get a blanket underneath it. Slide slide, slide, slide,
slide to the front door.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Then I don't know what next. Well, let me pick
it out and go on holiday.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Let me be a recent warning. Remember I scratched my
floor two meters across the floorboards moving that piano.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I think you have the magic blanket under it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I don't know if a blanket, if there's something sticky
under there, it's going to scrap.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Haven't you got a gurney on wheels?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
That's what sort of real man?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
What?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I don't even know what that something they put somebody
in an ambulance is.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
It's what they call it trolley things.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, can you get those at Bunnings?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, we got ours at Bunnings.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
What maybe I'll go get one of those. And I
feel like your proper sort of that's probably like Dad stuff,
isn't it? And the mount rushmore of ultimate Dad stuff?
That howm one of those? You can borrow mine date
I've got one.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It feels like specialist equipment to me.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
That very handy around, but you reckon you can lug
a fridge with that love. God uses it all.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
The time, all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Wheel already to score.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Now the fridge over there. I put it back on
the north door.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
We kept borrowing, Dads, and he said, you know what,
I think I need to get one. And it's priceless.
We borrow it, lend it out to neighbors and this.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is what they say on Antiques Road Show. Some Bunnings gurnie, but.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
What you have. So Christian was telling us about this Patty,
and then Tom came in and said, you have to
strap yourself to the fridge. That's how the real removals
start doing. And then describe a series of straps that
you wear around your shoulder and put.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
On your back.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I think it was someone from sexy Land.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Plate the Christian O'Connell show podcast Perats.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
It was at the supermarket yesterday and it spotted something
about the supermarket that I think drives us all nuts.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
What is it about the deli at the supermarket?
Speaker 16 (22:25):
It offers you the best of the world and also
the worst of the world, Like it's just a quarter
copier of goodness.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Now, Patsy's right, it's the it's the best and the
food of the world with the worst of humanity.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
It really is. Why do people have to take so long, oh.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
God, wandering up and down there, having a little walk
in and look seeing and nibble on this.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I know why because when you wait for your turn,
and it's your turn, you feel like, all right, now
it's my show.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, you know what you want, you order it, you
get off, get down wondering on your time?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
When is tickets. It's like jumping out of an airplying
it's go time.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Okay, you don't start hanging around there taking photos and train.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh no, not.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Free. You know the tomatoes?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What was it that ham?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
This happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
And I'm also one of these people that I don't
go in drammach I'm not good with numbers, so I
won't say, give me two fifty grams if you triple
smoked ham blad.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I'm not professional butcher. None of us are very good
at that.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I'll be like, just give me a fistfull.
Speaker 16 (23:34):
Oh no, give me saying that.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Get your mind out of the gutter. But I'm very.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Jump it's not tasty as well, it doesn't.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
Make But also with the kabana, I cut to the
chase because I always say, oh is it okay if
I breaking?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I say it's have two sticks to cabana and you
can break it. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Like I cut the Becoming Italian chase.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
But there's protocols that have to be adhered to at
the deli. Not enough people do.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Well, you would hate this, then do you had the
injustice of people taking your turn because no one No
one uses the number system they have it there.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
But yeah, in the UK, well, you know we love
a queue that is that's punishable with prison time you
start Q jumping.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You ever got the little number? We use the number
you might.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
As well be picking rubbish off the ground. No one's
using that.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
They don't hear. They don't recognize a numb thing. Here's
what I think they should do. The moment you go
forward and your case is now active, right, there should
be a countdown like lights to change, okay, and it's
thirty seconds yeah, and starts and then like the oscars,
the music plays off, the lights change, you go, they
(24:56):
start talking to the next person behind you.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
You want the soup Nazi from sign.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Piers Christian O'Connell show on podcast to down show.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Then what got taped over?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
If you're a charter of the eighties and the early nineties,
then your videos were the Holy Girl.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
They recorded your TV shows.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
It wasn't like on demand like it is now, or
there was no YouTube or Google wing could rewind and
watch clips whenever you one. You recorded your things, and
then you had on big capitols. This is Christian's video
and pulling off the little tabs. Remember the little tabs,
so no one could tape over it, but brothers, cousins,
everyone would.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Tape over it.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You used to be a seller tape over that little gap.
That little thing used to break off the tab. So
day we want to know what got taped over Christian.
I accidentally taped over my stepdad's wedding video to his
first wife with Greece Too Sure.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It was.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Debbie accident recorded over the ultrasound of her some with
Hey Hey, It's Saturday, Heather Davies and in CIVI with
Skid Road that was on MTV when they came to
Australia in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I watched her every day.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
It had the video clip for I Remember You with
Sebastian about looking mighty fine on it. I wrote, do
not tape over and my dad didn't give it a
second thought, stick and tape over that tab section recorded
a Grand Final over. I still hold a grudge to
(26:26):
this day about that. All right, So the day we
want to know what got taped over for me?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I had rare footage Christian that my dad taped over
Green Day were on a live music show that they
used to have in Australia called Recovery every Saturday morning,
truly live, so much so that they took the house
band band's instruments and being the punk rock legends that
they were, they sung a song with f words through it,
but there was nothing that the ABC could do to
(26:53):
stop them. So that became rare footage because these days
before YouTube, there was no unless you had the tape,
there was no way you could watch these the swear
words come out. Then my dad taped over it with
state of origin.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's to what replaces your Holy Grail? Isn't it?
Speaker 6 (27:11):
The state of honors? In a Grand Final for the
skid Row interview? All right, Lucy, what got taped over? So?
Speaker 17 (27:17):
When I was about sixteen, I stayed up and watched
all of Live Aid, the three day concert, the Bob
Gelder concert, and I taped every act every three hours.
I would change my videos over. I would have an
alarm suit in case I fell asleep. And my whole
collection of video is my brother's taped over with football games's.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
My sister taped over Live with Black Beauty, the movie
She's Into Horses.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
We're still not good.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Because of that, I lost all the Springsteen, I lost
the YouTube, I lost the Queen bit all that recorded.
They were flipping Black Beauty.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
YEP, it's our.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Pain, Lucy, We'll always have it, all right, Lucy, you
have a lovely weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Thanks you calling. Thanks you, Adam.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Look, in nineteen eighty seven we had our first family.
Dad sold the Taranta. I bought a Torago. We traveled
over on the Nuther Board and he bought a brand
new camera and that nineteen eighty seven. It was one
that went over your shoulder, had a battery pack that
wait about ten kilo pretty much that pretty much had
a VHS that you had to put a normal sized
video into as well. So he was carting that around
for two weeks. There was sweat lock at Gypsy with
(28:21):
them all into a two weeks. Mate didn't see anything
out of his own eye, didn't see a thing out
of his own eye for two weeks his video filming.
We went to a stadium, massive hor schhow my brother
got pulled out of the crowd, and so Dad filmed that.
That was quite special as well. So after the two
weeks we got home and the tape sat up in
the cupboard for about ten years, and one day I
(28:41):
jumped up in the cupboard, I grabbed one from the
station and a film one of my favorite episodes of
X Files and recorded that, mate. So so Mum and
Dad were quite devastated that our first family holiday Molder
and Scully. Nothing beef then, not even a two weeks
with the wa.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Mate, What a story, even just taking us back to
how big and clunky it was like seeing all that gear.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
It would have been like Spielberg filming a movie.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Bigger than any cameras that you see in any news
stations today.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
They huge, weren't they?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I remember my folks would hire them at Christmas. Couldn't
afford to buy one, so for two weeks over Christmas
they would hire that big over the shoulder one. They
took a full VHS in the actual camera itself, recorded
straight onto it amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
Exactly right.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
And by the time we got that back, Dad was like,
I haven't actually seen anything myself for two weeks looking
through this thing for two weeks. And then ten years
later we went to dig it out for just a
family night and yeah, Mom and Dad sat down and
watch half an episode.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Of xboles, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Taking you back to the daste of video players. What
got taped over? Chris?
Speaker 14 (29:54):
Good eye? Christian, here you going, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Buddy, So what got taped over? Mate?
Speaker 14 (29:58):
I used to do a lot of scope, but i'
when I was younger with a couple of mates, and
we've been obsessed with it really And we went up
north to the Force a Ton Curry and I went
diving with the Great Nose sharks. I never shark dive
with sharks before, and anyway, went up there and one
of the guys in there had a video camera, so
they taped it all and I've got a copy of
it off him. Super proud came home.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
It was the only.
Speaker 14 (30:18):
Footage I've ever had of me scuba diving. I was
touching the sharks, which you're not supposed to do. I
was doing all you know it was pretty cool anyway.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
You're not supposed to for several reasons, mainly because their sharks.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Yeah, but they're harmless, the great nurses. They just look ugly,
but yeah, no, they're pretty harmless.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
How did I feel it? But filmed that back in
the day with a video cassette.
Speaker 14 (30:37):
Yeah, that was That was the ironic thing, because I
was pretty pretty rare that people had video cameras back then,
especially to go underwater. So I was super proud of it.
And one day I got all my mates around the
show on the video Yeah, yeah, and home and I
came on.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Me, let me just let me just Afford wants.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh man, that take over a who's taping away?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Is it back on tomorrow?
Speaker 14 (31:13):
We're having a bit of a biso at the time,
so they probably did it on Purpo.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
What a story of revenge the old home and away move.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
You're not meant to touch those sharks. No one will
see that.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
You must have been you must have been so angry.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
I've gone devastated for a long time.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, incredible story, Chris, Thank you very much, your story mate,
have a nice weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I'll see his own collect Hi.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
Christian and Gang so I'll set the scene for you.
Speaker 14 (31:45):
I'm twelve, thirteen years old.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
I met a girlfriend's birthday. The Graham Kennedy Knight Show
happened to be there filming and they were looking for someone.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
A great actress to skate around the rink and fall
on their bottom multiple times.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
That was me. That was my great actress was discovered.
Speaker 17 (32:05):
So I told my parents and we taped it, and
it was going to be my audition tape to take
and become an actress.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Silbersion filling his next movie with kids who are good skaters, yep.
Speaker 14 (32:22):
This was going to be my This was my moment.
Speaker 17 (32:25):
Years later, I'm looking for that tape.
Speaker 14 (32:27):
I put it in my.
Speaker 15 (32:29):
Crowning Glory and there's a Swan's game on it. I
go to my dad, Dad, this is the only footage
in the world.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
I cannot get this again, and he's like, here Swans.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
And they won no take on, no Hollywood, no Hollywood career.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You killed it.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, Tony Lockett got to.
Speaker 11 (32:51):
Collect no Hollywood career.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Collect Thank you very much for story mate. Have a
nice weekend. You two, Vie and the squeezed Damien in
here well got taped over well.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
First of all, I'm a massive Guns and Roses fan,
and when I was fifteen, MTV had a special on
about one am in the morning, Guns and Roses Live
at the Ritz. Now, I stayed up all night to
record it, fell asleep halfway through. So a couple of
days later I went to watch it and there was
an ESPN football game my older brother had decided to
record over top of it.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Oh it's heartbreaking, up, she isn't because everyone we've spoken to,
although they're laughing about it showing the story, there's still
that part of them that's still so angry.
Speaker 11 (33:32):
Oh well, there's a little bit of a payback twist
to it as well. He went to school camp a
week later, so all his cassette tapes over. At the
start of the Side A and Side B, I recorded
a little voice message for him saying, don't touch my stuff.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Genius, genius payback.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
The payback was great and he was quite upset about it.
But the final two fifteen years later Christmas, he bought
me a David E. Danden Roses Live at the Ritz.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Ah, that's great, Damien, I love your story.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Thank you very much. Have a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
My youngest daughter said, can we play Monopoly tonight? I said,
do you want something? It just to soften up your
mum because my wife loves Monopoly, right, what does he
want this?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Just tell me that now or save us two miserable hours.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
It could be like a chemikaze michion because everybody knows
that a family goes down when Monopoly is brought out.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
So I said, let's go with this. So I brought
her a couple of months ago. She loves David Bowie.
I thought there was a David Bowie themed Monopoly, right,
and so we opened up and it was brilliant. It's like,
instead of the hotels and the yeah, it's stadiums and arenas.
And then all the pieces are related to David Bowie's career.
(34:55):
There's the helmet from Life on Mars. There's a lightning
bolt is last Awme and black Star. There's a are
It's all really well done. Instead of like chance and
committed chance, she got sound and vision and there's no
park Lane and Mayfair.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
They're all different things to do with his career rights.
It's really well done.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Anyway, played for two hours, I lost not before do
you guys cheap.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
By the way, when you playing on no, are you
were you the banker?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
No, I'm I stopped being allowed to the bank at
the age of ten. When people realize I was cycling
off money. When people are arguing, no one's looking, I
just take a little five hundred ear What I would
do is I would stick a five hundred dodgy one
right to my actual one, and a couple of hundreds
as well, so no one knew.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It looked like I only had one hundred, but actually stuck.
There's like three or four there rainy day money. So
how you've been a banker in decades? Here's what you do.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Right When they're arguing and they are doing ugly locks.
There's two women there, right, I was rolling the dice
and building up properties. And then rather than pay the
banker going I paid you earlier, my wife would go, oh.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Sorry, it's to busy argain there would lowest.
Speaker 6 (35:54):
So I asked them I'm actually okay, until they rumbled,
how have your money not gone down? Appearance in building
up for Boeing monopoly.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
So not really a sophisticated cheat, but.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
What it was was teaching a lesson about capitalism. That's
why I did it, guys. It's a teaching moment. Don't
be ning you kind of entrust your daddy business.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
And next time in real life when you have to
pay bills to someone, just don't.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
They're arguing, look, what's that over there?
Speaker 6 (36:20):
As they're not going to do asking for money for
the mortgage spaceship above your head, monky. So the Debby
Bowie monopoly game.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Right.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
The thing that I loved about it was all the
little pieces are related to his his career.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Right. There is a monopoly for everything, isn't there. There's
so many they don't care. I reckon you ring them
and go. It's serial killer monopoly. They're like everyone's gone.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Even when we bought a house, a real estate agent
as a kind of thank you, gave us a Buckster's.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
The real estate has its own branded monopolo. They'll just
give it to anybody.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Don't give it to anybody now.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Sarah said to me, why didn't see if you get
a show? When I went, imagine the humiliation if they
said no that. We've got to protect the brand. Yes,
