Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
In the middle of the show, my wife messaged me,
and this happens with way too much ease. My wife, Sarah.
I love her, but she does not respect that this
is a high skilled job. It's like you're on a
safety wire every day and there's no safety in it
underneath me. We could all fall off this safety net
at any moment. My wife doesn't respect that. I keep
(00:49):
saying to it, it's like I'm in surgery for three
hour or well, actually, in my heart, I could never
see that out loudery, but thank you for seeing what
I do here. My wife just sees it like most
of the time I'm sat around my feet up, just
you know, yacking up in here with you. That's how
it looks to an untrained observer. You might see Federer
playing a great game, but he loves having a little
(01:09):
knock around there, you know, Rod Laver, No, he's at work.
He's not being messaged when he's cleaning his racket exactly anyway,
she said, Chris is about to run out of fuel.
Can you find out how many k's are in the
reserve tank of my car? I've got to make it
twenty six k's. I'm running late. No one's how to
do these complicated masks very quickly. Whis also hosting the show.
This is not the first time. My wife is a
(01:31):
repeat offender of for me. As soon as I get
the fuel gags gets into the final quarter, I'm pulllling
over as soon as I can.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
For cow No.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, no, no, no, no, no, always ready, what happens
in the middle of the night. I need to drive
a family member or neighbor to hospital. Oh, we're just
going to go by this seven to eleven.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I just got an.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now the ambos are taken too long together, I'll drive you.
Oh no, I'm empty. You're going to conk out.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Quarter tank will get you to anything?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, no, no, you go No no, what if the
zombies come and need I need to go to the
high country. I need to make it to a Chukah
and take my people's there. Okay, Oh no, I'm just
run out. I'm running out in higher somethings are coming
for me.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I didn't fact you're in the zombies.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Always be ready for a zombie apocalypse. And you're gonna
need those laptose tablets as well. Have a bag ready
if you'll be ready. It's I don't know. And there
are two types of people in life. There are the
empty tankers and the rest of us. Who are you rear?
You an empty tankers in that mummy's volvo, you look
around it.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
If it hits the light, I'll start. That is when
I'll start to think about getting fuel. But before then,
come on, I feel like you have to make sure
you use up the fuel, otherwise you get old, dusty fuel.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
To me, it's like when you haven't eaten anything for
six or seven hours and you're running on vapors and fuel.
The car when you fill up goes, thank you, I've
got a full tummy. It's like you put a big
Sunday roast in. Oh you can hear it's slotting, yes, y, yes,
reassure rather than bone dry parched. Now I have a
(03:07):
message here from Pantsi's husband, the Worriby Love God, good Christian.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
I heard you talking about Sarah asking you how many
reserve kilometers might be left on an empty tank at
least Sarah checks with you. I swear Patrina thinks there's
an infinity amount of reserve kilometers left, because some days
I get in the car and the needle doesn't even
move up to an empty position, and I don't know
whether I'm going to make it to the service station,
(03:33):
which is literally a sixty second drive around the corner.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You're right, my wife does same as in the perhaps
of the infinity tank.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yes, it's like a little game. I think, you know what,
I'll just run the gauntlet. Let's see how far we
get today.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's like you're spending that revolver chamber. You're playing Russian runette.
It will break you on the backside.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Absolutely hate I know, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Have to do all the car well at some moment
bait on the backside and take out revenge on you
by running out.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No, those reserve tanks a mass eighty because you.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Keep thinking that when you're still in that reserve face. Yeah,
a couple of I remember a couple of months ago,
Jim and when my rule I run out of fuel
and she went Christia cars run out fuel, and I
actually said says, you're right. I actually said it. So
I was happy this is what happens. And then she goes,
can you come and pick me up? And I was like, yeah, yeah,
sure where I she told always was that's a minute away.
(04:23):
I don't listen, princess. This dams always have been picked
up for more. And then think about your consequences of
your behavior. All right, So are you an empty tanker, Caitlyn?
You're an empty tanker? I can tell you run way
too loose.
Speaker 9 (04:35):
Absolutely constantly. I actually only have sixteen kilometers left today
as I was driving away.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You got to get back to where it be over
the West Gate. Now you're one of those people that
breaks down, and then you've become my problem.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
I haven't broken down since I was sixteen years old.
I broke down since I was an al player. And
I run on empty constantly. I get to zero all
the time.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No way, zero zero. The car'sn't go anywhere. You're conking out.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
No, it's lying to you. I literally get to zero
and I can still make it. I reckon five k's.
I've never comed out, never even felt like the Honda's gone.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
It's not even doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm surprised because the speeds that you run that car out.
You know, when I heard Piastre didn't bring the Formula one.
I thought, oh, Kate, you must have been racing this
and it's pipped him through it. You have a lead
foot in that car. Honestly, you must burnt such as
she does.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I will say it again.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
I go at the speed that my body feels.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
As it should, rules, regulations and limits of people like you.
Basically yes, but it's pastally fine.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
You know.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
I know what I'm doing. I can see people in
in front of me. I'm safe, I'm aware, I'm conscious.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're okay. It's the rest of us elderly trying to
cross the road.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I'm in the slipstream constantly.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
That's why I can go on empty fumes because I'm
just gliding a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You are fast, furious Melbourne, give us a call and
lines are up. And now thirteen fifty five, twenty two,
I'm looking for stories. Actually that can be a cautionary
warning to people like Pats and Kitlyn In my wife
Sarah bad time to conk out. My dad always used
to call it conker out if the car was about
to start that jutter. It does. I saw someone the
other day having to push their car. You don't see
(06:12):
it very often anymore. I don't know if it's because
of modern cars now will actually tell you they break
it down at how many CA's you just had to
eyeball it years ago. With old cars you don't often
see no, you know, because people then used to get
out and help them pushing. I'll help you, kind Samaritan. Yes,
get in again and you put it in gear. Yes,
that's it. She can come out, yes, yeah, try and
jump start it to go.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (06:32):
And also on the old days, if you ran out
of fuel, you don't siphon it from someone else.
Speaker 12 (06:35):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
The literly just yes, start siphoning it out. Would have
been a hose just sucking it out. My dad used
to do that too.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
But Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right now, then empty tankers bad time to run out
of fuel. A lot of you are very proud empty tankers. Yes,
you know. I think it's like people that are they
get some sort of weird I would say, sick, perverted thrill. Christian,
I run out of fuel in the middle of Chapel
Street at five A m oh.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
No, dangerous push.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, you're right, that's in the zombies arel to push
my car to the side of the road before running
to the servo to buy some fuel to bring back
to the car. Was almost late to a wedding six
hours away. Another time, This second part of this is insane.
Another time we brought a ute nine hours away from home.
We thought we'd pushed the limits of the tank to
make it to the next town for fuel. Sadly the
(07:32):
servo was closed and we were stranded in a tiny town.
We had to siphon and fuel from a local law mower. Oh,
just to make it to the next town that had stanning. Christian,
I'm a proud empty tanker, but I reset my trip
(07:52):
odometer every time I fill up, so I know exactly
how many canes I have until I'm empty. Haven't run
empty for fourteen years. Very loud of Brown Kate in
their leader, Christian, this is amazing, Vaughn Christian, I want
to run out of petrol whilst in a breath test line.
Can you movie car forward? I'd love to obviously give
(08:14):
you out. Oh my god, this guy's so drunky you
can't even start the car. Oh, that's incredible, Christian. I'm
also an empty tanker. I love going as long as possible,
and the mild rush of exciting. You get wondering will
I won't I make it? I get my mediocre thrill
for the week, mediocre thing, mediocre joy, maybe a new feature, Christian.
(08:38):
Let's take some stories here, Lawson, good morning, welcome to
the show. Good morning, christ Hey Lawson. What's your story
about a bad time to rise.
Speaker 13 (08:46):
And a twenty ahead of me?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sorrylawton?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, sorry what was that, Lawson?
Speaker 14 (08:52):
I'm tied.
Speaker 13 (08:52):
I was sitting on empty with a twenty five minute
driver hurdim Oh one.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
How could you live like this? Lawson? The stress, the fear.
Speaker 14 (09:02):
Oh, it is stressful, but it's less a former Wallace.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, I guess. So what if you run out?
Speaker 15 (09:10):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (09:11):

Thanks you very much.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Leanne, good morning.
Speaker 12 (09:23):
Hell my, Christian. I absolutely think every car is only
polite that it beeps actually when it needs fuel.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Actually you should sing to you car. It should just
sing to you, sing a little song. I'm empty in
my tummy. If that went on a loop and you'd
pull over, I'm empty, and does it stop?
Speaker 16 (09:45):
And I had a car that used.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
To politely tell me, you need to get fuel in
the next twenty five ks or so. I've got a
new bow, would you believe? And it broke down. It
didn't tell me how much fuel that I needed fuel,
It didn't beap at me. And I broke down in
front of a fire station.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh no, it wasn't the.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
Worst thing, as I had to go in and it's
excuse making you please help me, damsel in distress. So
eight early fire men.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're welcome here you do the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For the last couple of weeks, our eighteen year old
daughter who was the last to leave home at the
start of this year, and when send my wife and
I became emptiness. She's in back at home, and it's
been lovely having her back. That said I was gonna
get used to, Actually peace suddenly settled back into being
an emptiness. And actually there are some phil here, the
(11:14):
lack of just never ending, an abundance of washing to
do it again, and stuff that actually you've only just
worn that like two hours ago. There's no way it's soiled.
You just don't want to fold it and put it away,
just been exhausted washing again. So in a way, she
goes back. We're moving her back Sunday, so when my
wife and I are obviously prepared for yet another heartbreak. However,
(11:36):
yesterday I thought she was out for the evening. Right,
my wife's getting ready for this part of this part
of her sort of dealing with the next part of
her life. Now she's gone back to university and she's
doing this ma in art therapy. She starts the day
a placement. She can be working two days a week
as a volunteer in a school. So she said, hey, listen,
I really just need some piece and quiet. So I said,
(11:56):
I'm going to go to cinema. I really want to
see this movie. So anyway, I booked one loan ticket
and then suddenly my heartbreaks when my daughter comes in
the house and I'm like, I'm just getting ready to
go out. She gets, where do you go and go
and little Simba come with me? She says, oh great,
I'll come with it. I'll get another ticket. There's only
when I booked it five o'clock on a Wednesday, there's
only six people watching. So I go, how easy to
get another There's an entire cinema. You don't even have
(12:18):
to sit. Next week pick her and see. She goes, wait, wait,
you're not going to go and see that racing movie.
I am, But I said, look, it's not about racing.
It's a human drama. She gets. She gets, She goes,
it's two and half hours. No, she goes, I'm not
not two and a half hours and half hour. That's
a lot. So anyway, she goes, why don't you just
not go? Yeah, I'm going Sunday we can watch a
(12:41):
movie together. I went, yeah, but I really want to
watch the movie. And uh, I was really looking forward
to the snacks. And she goes, you know, you should
just not go and then we can watch a movie.
Might you do it next week? You'll have a lot
of time you'll be desperate to feel. She goes to
her bedroom. I sat there thinking it was like two me's.
I was like, my stomach was getting ready for the
(13:01):
snacks going alone. There's no, my wife, you can't have
that class.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You have fifty two.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I gues eat whatever I want and throw it on
the floor as well, and then watch two and a
half hours of men racing in cars a human drama.
But I'm thinking, oh god, I'm going to really miss it.
I can see this next week. So going to bedroom
and I go, hey, listen, I'm not going to go
to the movie. She just goes good, and I go,
(13:29):
will you watch the original Happy Gilmore with me tonight?
She goes yes. In one area, I know I've raised
those girls' rights to appreciate comedy. It makes me so
happy when I hear them watching by just the two
of them, old episodes of Seinfeld or Modern Family or
Parks and Rex all the Office. And they've been raised
on Adam Sandler, on Will Fowrell. Right, So I said, like,
this is Sam Man when he was really starting to
(13:51):
break brig It's nineteen ninety six, the original Happy Gilmore,
And I said to do you know what you reminded
me of something that actually, there's nothing wrong in life
about owning your own needs. You're quite right, you just
want to hang out with me. I felt you do
about small thing, big joy we got to take away.
Me and her just watched Happy Gilmore. Right, she never
seen him before. I haven't seen it in a year,
and I love the sad Man. Nineteen ninety six is
(14:11):
peak Sandman when he was just starting to leave essen
now and do movies right. It is for an hour
and a half, relentlessly funny. There's not a wasted scene
in Happy Gilmore. You've got one of the greatest nineties
movie baddies of all time. Shooter, Yes, endlessly even the pistol.
He buys the home in all of that, because he
(14:33):
buys the foreclosed home of his NaNs.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
All that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He's brilliant. And I said, I gave let it's a
small speech beforehand. I said, Look, the thing about peak
Sandman movies is he's always best when he's a psycho
and he's yelling like this in the opening scene of
Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Terry, wait, wait, hold on a second, babe.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, you're not going for good, are you, Honey?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You're going nowhere happy, and you're taking me with you.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
All you ever talk about is being a pro hockey player.
Speaker 15 (15:00):
But there's a problem.
Speaker 17 (15:02):
You're not any good.
Speaker 15 (15:03):
I am good.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You're a lousy kindergarten teacher. I've seen not fingerpaints. You
bring hom the sack.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
There's thing, yes, suck and it's just you forget. There's
so many great bits said. I've forgot about chubs coach
cold Weathers yea, the great cold Weathers. The fake it's
way too big, but that's what makes it funny. It
should have been. It's there's no way a fake hand
would be that big. And then the fingers keep coming
(15:37):
off and it gets run over, and he goes, don't
worry about that, that's solid wood and just crumble, and
that line, why don't you just go.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Get in the ball.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It's got more quotable jokes per minute than any other
Adam Sander movie, I think any of the good movie. Yees.
So it's so good as we're watching it and just
falling back in over the nineties, I actually started to
google this morning Timberland boots. I might buy a pair
of timber and boots.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Do you know when you don't.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I just won those chances to have a pair in
the nineties. I'm going to bring back Timberland boots. Oh god,
you have a hypercolor T shirt. Yeah. Yeah. And then
the end of it, I said, what do you think
we were laughing our asses after that? It's still relentlessly funny.
Do you remember when they're those those those comedy movies
of the nineties, you know, and obviously there was like
(16:31):
Dumb and Dumber as well. They were like the big
movies of the years. They were the blockbusters. They were
the blockbuster and they just went for jokes. They didn't
worry about making a serious pointer ring if they just
went for jokes. And they're just joyous. They're plainful and joyous,
and both of us are laughing relentlessly, and I was
so pleased because I was wondering, like, is it that
good now? In the end of it, I went, just
be honest. Mark set Tennis shows that is an eleven
(16:52):
out of ten.
Speaker 15 (16:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

You had a staycation of five star vacation.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It was beautiful not having to worry about cooking dinner,
washing up, treated like a queen per a day.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
It was lovely, but checking out there was a little
bit of a mix up with the car. They were
very busy. A lot of people had staycations this year.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
And it's a really religible story for families, is that
right now, with the cost of itting crisis, we can't
afford to go to NUSA, can't afford to go to Fiji,
but we can afford to go on staycation. We go
on Airbnb. No, the lang on.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
A lot of people are doing it.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
It was very nice anyway.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
So we gave them our ticket as you do for
the parking, and they go, fetch your car right anyway,
and we said, yeah, it's just the unda, gave them
the regio and everything. Anyway, he pulled up and it
wasn't our car. It was lovely here under it was
a brand new Santa Fe.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's shouting your new car anyway, left.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
The keys in the ignition, opened the boot and everything.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
It was just like left there and I said, oh, sorry, no,
you've got the wrong car with ours is just a Tucson.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Ours is and you're like that that's very nice, terribly sorry,
we're very busy. Now, that's all right, we're not.

the old Arkansas chugger, the staycation pocket.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Anyway, he came around.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
No one's going to see it, just ignition.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
He brought back a really old Tucson that had like
wheel cats missing and on, and we said no.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No, no, straw sticking out the exhaust pipe.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
That's not ours.

Donkey and car all the way back to the west.

Speaker 17 (21:56):
Okay? So I woke up in the middle of the
night to use the bathroom facilities, as one does, and
my blood pressure obviously dropped drastically and I fainted my paints.
I hit the end of the bed and smashed my face,
broke the bridge of my nose, and I had a
(22:18):
huge black eye, passed out on the ground.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Awful.
Speaker 17 (22:25):
My husband woke me up. I had blood pouring out
of my nose. He kind of fixed everything up, and
then for the rest.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Of the went back to bed.
Speaker 17 (22:34):
Three weeks I had to explain to people why I
had a massive black eye and broken bridge.
Speaker 18 (22:41):
Of my nose.

After all that. Yeah, good point. Sorry the guy who

we needed quiet time away from the kids in our bedroom,
that used to be the door stopper.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Oh what a great when we all had those.
Speaker 16 (24:16):
I've watched one night I ran in eagerly.
Speaker 14 (24:20):

All right, what are the odds? What about a canine?
Want to get us going? Woof wolf? Okay, this comes
from Susan Christian. I got my dog from a breeder
in Tazzy. One day she mentioned that one of my
boys siblings had also come to Victoria to a family
out Coldstreamway. The guy apparently used to work at the
(25:21):
brewery but had since retired. She gave me his name.
I thought about calling, but never got around to it.
Then one day at work I got the spidey sense
I had to ring the brewery today. No idea who
was going to answer, but I had to make the call.
I rang them and I said, hear me, how, I
know this sounds weird, but I have to ring. I
have a Burmese dog and the guy used to manage
(25:43):
the brewery apparently had one too. Before I keep even
get any further, this guy at the other ring goes,
I don't even know his name. Do you mean Rob,
he's sitting here at the bar. I'll put you on Christian.

from my brother's wedding. He'd been to primary school with him,
knew the family, and contacted my mom.

Was also studying teaching. I got my original birth certificate
when I was eighteen, and when I was twenty two,
on my teaching rounds, I noticed that my supervising teacher

Yeah, it was incredible. It was a fantastic placement.
Speaker 17 (31:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
And is that funny sometimes that I don't for these
stories that are coincidence and chants and yet are they
because something like that that puts you to together one
If it's that's something bigger, that's an amazing story men
to be Yeah, are you from a town where everyone

Speaker 10 (32:18):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast will to confuse stories to
do with births and birthdays.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
A Ria, you got a store about warm of either
or what happened at a birth or on a birthday?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yes, I am a miracle baby than aando.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Plause, come on, miracle baby.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So my parents didn't think they could have natural born kids.
So my elder sister, Kimber, is adopted from South Korea.
My second sister Alex was one of the very first
IVF babies in Australia.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This was incredible.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And my mum was forty two, dad was forty six.
They were living in Fiji with the family. Dad was
a doctor on one of the islands there, and Mum
was like, I swear I'm pregnant, and Dad goes, no,
not possible, Like not possible, No way, you're kidding. So
they went to the doctor on the mainland who had
like the scans and blah blah blah, and he did
(33:12):
the scans and he goes, you're pregnant, but unfortunately the
baby doesn't have a heartbeat, so mum was devastated. They
went back to the island. Mom can't drink khalure anymore
because for that week she was just so depressed. You
just drank heaps and heaps of kalua cocktails, still can't
stand the smell of it.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
And then like a week or.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Two later, she's like, no, I swear I'm still pregnant.
So they went back to a different doctor. This was
in Australia, and the doctor's like, oh, yeah, he's fine,
Like there's.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
A little what a remarkable story.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, And then well Mum, because she had so many
troubles before, and she's forty two and dad was forty six.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
They were a bit worried about how it all turn out.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Of course here, I am wow, that is an insane story.
They're mentally so you wanted the first thought to just
didn't pick up a baby's heartbeat?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yeah, I do want to cast dispersions over doctors.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The last thing we wanted to is created an international incident.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
But maybe they didn't have quite the same technology or
equipment or something like that that maybe we have here
in Australia. So he made a bit of a bit
of an error.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Your mom and dad must have just been amazed.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yes, well dad, I mean dad's a doctor, and he
was just like, you're not thinking you think.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
He would don't go point the finger at the offpha Jen.
Doctors point that finger at doctor Lee.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
It was like, there's no, there's absolutely no way that
you could be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Oh my god, The Miracle Baby.

This is actually incredible and what it works though? Does
that mean and to work for, say twenty fifty.

Yes, I will be seventy and hopefully still listening to goal.

Reckund'll be seventy. This is a strawbarry.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
That's it. Great you figure that out.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (35:56):
I just sat down and think, oh, drop the down numbers,
and I'm thinking, oh, mom was born seventeenth March ninety
fifty one at the Times table. But as you know,
I am tenth of October. Actually I was born forty
five years ago something. Let's see, we had up to
one hundred, so I basically said the nunders up to
one hundred. It's just it's not really an interest, just
a talking point of.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
A talking point phrase. There just sat down judging numbers.
I can't stand if you're doing the family finances or
stuff like that, but just randomly and it's like a
beautiful mind. This is this is a great one. Camin.

their second daughter on Melbourne Cup Day, so we were
in the wards. He was getting the labor pains and
the doctor came in to check on her and I said,
made any chance you could grab us a radio so
I can listen to the races, And the missus wasn't
(36:59):
too impressed. Give me an evil look and he goes, yeah,
I'll grab you one. And he came back and said
have you got a tip for the cap and I said,
mackay ve you deaver and he pulled twenty dollars head
of his pocket and gave any chance you can put
a bed on?
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Well, no, there isn't. Actually you can't do that because
you've got to be there for your partner.
Speaker 15 (37:17):

me hand like a proud parent, and she's just giving
me daggers, mate. I was looking around to make sure
there wasn't a scalpe, because you.
Speaker 1 (37:41):

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Sure, only in Australia. Tim, thank you very much the story.
Thanks guys, there were one and you Christian O'Connell show
go on podcast. Something happened to me yesterday and thought,
I wonder what parts would have done this situation. I
was put into a very awkward situation. Yesterday. I went
over to one of the more expensive and pricey and
(38:15):
beautiful parts of Melbourne, Albert Park. Oh yeah, of course
that's where they have that billionaire sport f one. But anyway,
I want to surprise my wife. She's a massive fan
of Elizabeth Gilbert and her new book came out and
I was ringing around old school see if they had
a copy and Avenue bookstores. It's a brilliant chain of them.
There's one here in Richmond. They didn't have it, yeah,
but they did. The one in albert Park did. So
(38:37):
I went over to albert Park got the book for
her to surprise her, and I thought, I'll have some
breakfast some staff in now. So it's a gift for
my wife and a gift for Christy Boyd, a listener.
It serves me right. So I wanted some chili scrambled
eggs with a side of bacon.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I got to pay. I didn't have the bacon. They
charged me for the bacon.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
What do you mean you didn't You didn't hate it,
or they didn't they didn't bring it.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You didn't say anything even at the time when you
get your bacon.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I have a real I have a real problem.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
If Sarah was that, I ask her to say something,
because if you talk for a living, you do stand
up anywhere you jump up into that you won't even
So where's my Bacon's grown? Ass man? So I just
skunked out there stopped. I thought, you've grown gotta go
back in and say something. But the listener was so kind.
They'd asked for a photo with me. I can't then go, hey,
(39:31):
I think you scam me. You're tickling my ego one hand,
and then you take your money out of my back pocket.
I don't think you do. Listen to the show. But
you tried that one the other day with you know,
sampang or.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
The paint didn't get his postry.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
For me once down but Park Cafe, it is a
man thing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Yeah, produced a teina at a cafe down the road
and they made this terrible coffee. It was actually foaming
up and could in this city that's unheard, and she's like,
send it back. I was like, I possibly, and she
took it up for me to even.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Sounded English when you said I couldn't possibly, that's how
we sound.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
It makes my blood.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I would apologize seeing I would apologize for not having
my own bacons. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I even ordered it.
I'm sorry to ask, I'm sorry to have to I
paid it. It wasn't cheap.
Speaker 21 (40:26):
Albert Park signed bloody bacon? Am I paying for the pig?
And then like Christ, hating myself all day, I was
so annoyed. I didn't have the bulls to go in
going hey, listen, you know you're obviously busy.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
But I never got that bacon because then I thought
they might think that I was lying, and I hate
the baker and that's even worse that they were it.
I met that English guy once and he what he does.
He goes around asking for a sign of bacon and
then he eats it goes. I didn't get many baconcing
it's a deady mail CMZ. This happened in Alburt Park.
(40:58):
I frequentse you do, Gorsey does. I'm sorry to hear
this bacon and eating it?
Speaker 13 (41:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:08):
So perhaps would you have gone back? Be honest, if
it was a listener and they just asked you a
photo with you, would you go in and go paid
twelve dollars more for something good?
Speaker 8 (41:17):
No, it's all about timing, and it's all about how
you bring the topic up. Chris will do this. I
won't say anything, but he'll be scathing in the car.

and this happens with way too much ease. My wife, Sarah.
I love her, but she does not respect that this
is a high skilled job. It's like you're on a
safety wire every day and there's no safety in it
underneath me. We could all fall off this safety net
at any moment. My wife doesn't respect that. I keep
(00:49):
saying to it, it's like I'm in surgery for three
hour or well, actually, in my heart, I could never
see that out loudery, but thank you for seeing what
I do here. My wife just sees it like most
of the time I'm sat around my feet up, just
you know, yacking up in here with you. That's how
it looks to an untrained observer. You might see Federer
playing a great game, but he loves having a little
(01:09):
knock around there, you know, Rod Laver, No, he's at work.
He's not being messaged when he's cleaning his racket exactly anyway,
she said, Chris is about to run out of fuel.
Can you find out how many k's are in the
reserve tank of my car? I've got to make it
twenty six k's. I'm running late. No one's how to
do these complicated masks very quickly. Whis also hosting the show.
This is not the first time. My wife is a
(01:31):
repeat offender of for me. As soon as I get
the fuel gags gets into the final quarter, I'm pulllling
over as soon as I can.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
For cow No.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
No, no, no, no, no, no, always ready, what happens
in the middle of the night. I need to drive
a family member or neighbor to hospital. Oh, we're just
going to go by this seven to eleven.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I just got an.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now the ambos are taken too long together, I'll drive you.
Oh no, I'm empty. You're going to conk out.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Quarter tank will get you to anything?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, no, no, you go No no, what if the
zombies come and need I need to go to the
high country. I need to make it to a Chukah
and take my people's there. Okay, Oh no, I'm just
run out. I'm running out in higher somethings are coming
for me.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I didn't fact you're in the zombies.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Always be ready for a zombie apocalypse. And you're gonna
need those laptose tablets as well. Have a bag ready
if you'll be ready. It's I don't know. And there
are two types of people in life. There are the
empty tankers and the rest of us. Who are you rear?
You an empty tankers in that mummy's volvo, you look
around it.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
If it hits the light, I'll start. That is when
I'll start to think about getting fuel. But before then,
come on, I feel like you have to make sure
you use up the fuel, otherwise you get old, dusty fuel.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
To me, it's like when you haven't eaten anything for
six or seven hours and you're running on vapors and fuel.
The car when you fill up goes, thank you, I've
got a full tummy. It's like you put a big
Sunday roast in. Oh you can hear it's slotting, yes, y, yes,
reassure rather than bone dry parched. Now I have a
(03:07):
message here from Pantsi's husband, the Worriby Love God, good Christian.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
I heard you talking about Sarah asking you how many
reserve kilometers might be left on an empty tank at
least Sarah checks with you. I swear Patrina thinks there's
an infinity amount of reserve kilometers left, because some days
I get in the car and the needle doesn't even
move up to an empty position, and I don't know
whether I'm going to make it to the service station,
(03:33):
which is literally a sixty second drive around the corner.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You're right, my wife does same as in the perhaps
of the infinity tank.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yes, it's like a little game. I think, you know what,
I'll just run the gauntlet. Let's see how far we
get today.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's like you're spending that revolver chamber. You're playing Russian runette.
It will break you on the backside.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Absolutely hate I know, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Have to do all the car well at some moment
bait on the backside and take out revenge on you
by running out.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No, those reserve tanks a mass eighty because you.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Keep thinking that when you're still in that reserve face. Yeah,
a couple of I remember a couple of months ago,
Jim and when my rule I run out of fuel
and she went Christia cars run out fuel, and I
actually said says, you're right. I actually said it. So
I was happy this is what happens. And then she goes,
can you come and pick me up? And I was like, yeah, yeah,
sure where I she told always was that's a minute away.
(04:23):
I don't listen, princess. This dams always have been picked
up for more. And then think about your consequences of
your behavior. All right, So are you an empty tanker, Caitlyn?
You're an empty tanker? I can tell you run way
too loose.
Speaker 9 (04:35):
Absolutely constantly. I actually only have sixteen kilometers left today
as I was driving away.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You got to get back to where it be over
the West Gate. Now you're one of those people that
breaks down, and then you've become my problem.
Speaker 9 (04:47):
I haven't broken down since I was sixteen years old.
I broke down since I was an al player. And
I run on empty constantly. I get to zero all
the time.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No way, zero zero. The car'sn't go anywhere. You're conking out.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
No, it's lying to you. I literally get to zero
and I can still make it. I reckon five k's.
I've never comed out, never even felt like the Honda's gone.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
It's not even doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm surprised because the speeds that you run that car out.
You know, when I heard Piastre didn't bring the Formula one.
I thought, oh, Kate, you must have been racing this
and it's pipped him through it. You have a lead
foot in that car. Honestly, you must burnt such as
she does.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I will say it again.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
I go at the speed that my body feels.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
As it should, rules, regulations and limits of people like you.
Basically yes, but it's pastally fine.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
You know.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
I know what I'm doing. I can see people in
in front of me. I'm safe, I'm aware, I'm conscious.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're okay. It's the rest of us elderly trying to
cross the road.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I'm in the slipstream constantly.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
That's why I can go on empty fumes because I'm
just gliding a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You are fast, furious Melbourne, give us a call and
lines are up. And now thirteen fifty five, twenty two,
I'm looking for stories. Actually that can be a cautionary
warning to people like Pats and Kitlyn In my wife
Sarah bad time to conk out. My dad always used
to call it conker out if the car was about
to start that jutter. It does. I saw someone the
other day having to push their car. You don't see
(06:12):
it very often anymore. I don't know if it's because
of modern cars now will actually tell you they break
it down at how many CA's you just had to
eyeball it years ago. With old cars you don't often
see no, you know, because people then used to get
out and help them pushing. I'll help you, kind Samaritan. Yes,
get in again and you put it in gear. Yes,
that's it. She can come out, yes, yeah, try and
jump start it to go.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (06:32):
And also on the old days, if you ran out
of fuel, you don't siphon it from someone else.
Speaker 12 (06:35):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
The literly just yes, start siphoning it out. Would have
been a hose just sucking it out. My dad used
to do that too.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
But Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right now, then empty tankers bad time to run out
of fuel. A lot of you are very proud empty tankers. Yes,
you know. I think it's like people that are they
get some sort of weird I would say, sick, perverted thrill. Christian,
I run out of fuel in the middle of Chapel
Street at five A m oh.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
No, dangerous push.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, you're right, that's in the zombies arel to push
my car to the side of the road before running
to the servo to buy some fuel to bring back
to the car. Was almost late to a wedding six
hours away. Another time, This second part of this is insane.
Another time we brought a ute nine hours away from home.
We thought we'd pushed the limits of the tank to
make it to the next town for fuel. Sadly the
(07:32):
servo was closed and we were stranded in a tiny town.
We had to siphon and fuel from a local law mower. Oh,
just to make it to the next town that had stanning. Christian,
I'm a proud empty tanker, but I reset my trip
(07:52):
odometer every time I fill up, so I know exactly
how many canes I have until I'm empty. Haven't run
empty for fourteen years. Very loud of Brown Kate in
their leader, Christian, this is amazing, Vaughn Christian, I want
to run out of petrol whilst in a breath test line.
Can you movie car forward? I'd love to obviously give
(08:14):
you out. Oh my god, this guy's so drunky you
can't even start the car. Oh, that's incredible, Christian. I'm
also an empty tanker. I love going as long as possible,
and the mild rush of exciting. You get wondering will
I won't I make it? I get my mediocre thrill
for the week, mediocre thing, mediocre joy, maybe a new feature, Christian.
(08:38):
Let's take some stories here, Lawson, good morning, welcome to
the show. Good morning, christ Hey Lawson. What's your story
about a bad time to rise.
Speaker 13 (08:46):
And a twenty ahead of me?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sorrylawton?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, sorry what was that, Lawson?
Speaker 14 (08:52):
I'm tied.
Speaker 13 (08:52):
I was sitting on empty with a twenty five minute
driver hurdim Oh one.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
How could you live like this? Lawson? The stress, the fear.
Speaker 14 (09:02):
Oh, it is stressful, but it's less a former Wallace.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, I guess. So what if you run out?
Speaker 15 (09:10):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (09:11):

Thanks you very much.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Leanne, good morning.
Speaker 12 (09:23):
Hell my, Christian. I absolutely think every car is only
polite that it beeps actually when it needs fuel.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Actually you should sing to you car. It should just
sing to you, sing a little song. I'm empty in
my tummy. If that went on a loop and you'd
pull over, I'm empty, and does it stop?
Speaker 16 (09:45):
And I had a car that used.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
To politely tell me, you need to get fuel in
the next twenty five ks or so. I've got a
new bow, would you believe? And it broke down. It
didn't tell me how much fuel that I needed fuel,
It didn't beap at me. And I broke down in
front of a fire station.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh no, it wasn't the.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
Worst thing, as I had to go in and it's
excuse making you please help me, damsel in distress. So
eight early fire men.
Speaker 3 (10:17):

It really made us laugh. Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're welcome here you do the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
For the last couple of weeks, our eighteen year old
daughter who was the last to leave home at the
start of this year, and when send my wife and
I became emptiness. She's in back at home, and it's
been lovely having her back. That said I was gonna
get used to, Actually peace suddenly settled back into being
an emptiness. And actually there are some phil here, the
(11:14):
lack of just never ending, an abundance of washing to
do it again, and stuff that actually you've only just
worn that like two hours ago. There's no way it's soiled.
You just don't want to fold it and put it away,
just been exhausted washing again. So in a way, she
goes back. We're moving her back Sunday, so when my
wife and I are obviously prepared for yet another heartbreak. However,
(11:36):
yesterday I thought she was out for the evening. Right,
my wife's getting ready for this part of this part
of her sort of dealing with the next part of
her life. Now she's gone back to university and she's
doing this ma in art therapy. She starts the day
a placement. She can be working two days a week
as a volunteer in a school. So she said, hey, listen,
I really just need some piece and quiet. So I said,
(11:56):
I'm going to go to cinema. I really want to
see this movie. So anyway, I booked one loan ticket
and then suddenly my heartbreaks when my daughter comes in
the house and I'm like, I'm just getting ready to
go out. She gets, where do you go and go
and little Simba come with me? She says, oh great,
I'll come with it. I'll get another ticket. There's only
when I booked it five o'clock on a Wednesday, there's
only six people watching. So I go, how easy to
get another There's an entire cinema. You don't even have
(12:18):
to sit. Next week pick her and see. She goes, wait, wait,
you're not going to go and see that racing movie.
I am, But I said, look, it's not about racing.
It's a human drama. She gets. She gets, She goes,
it's two and half hours. No, she goes, I'm not
not two and a half hours and half hour. That's
a lot. So anyway, she goes, why don't you just
not go? Yeah, I'm going Sunday we can watch a
(12:41):
movie together. I went, yeah, but I really want to
watch the movie. And uh, I was really looking forward
to the snacks. And she goes, you know, you should
just not go and then we can watch a movie.
Might you do it next week? You'll have a lot
of time you'll be desperate to feel. She goes to
her bedroom. I sat there thinking it was like two me's.
I was like, my stomach was getting ready for the
(13:01):
snacks going alone. There's no, my wife, you can't have
that class.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You have fifty two.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I gues eat whatever I want and throw it on
the floor as well, and then watch two and a
half hours of men racing in cars a human drama.
But I'm thinking, oh god, I'm going to really miss it.
I can see this next week. So going to bedroom
and I go, hey, listen, I'm not going to go
to the movie. She just goes good, and I go,
(13:29):
will you watch the original Happy Gilmore with me tonight?
She goes yes. In one area, I know I've raised
those girls' rights to appreciate comedy. It makes me so
happy when I hear them watching by just the two
of them, old episodes of Seinfeld or Modern Family or
Parks and Rex all the Office. And they've been raised
on Adam Sandler, on Will Fowrell. Right, So I said, like,
this is Sam Man when he was really starting to
(13:51):
break brig It's nineteen ninety six, the original Happy Gilmore,
And I said to do you know what you reminded
me of something that actually, there's nothing wrong in life
about owning your own needs. You're quite right, you just
want to hang out with me. I felt you do
about small thing, big joy we got to take away.
Me and her just watched Happy Gilmore. Right, she never
seen him before. I haven't seen it in a year,
and I love the sad Man. Nineteen ninety six is
(14:11):
peak Sandman when he was just starting to leave essen
now and do movies right. It is for an hour
and a half, relentlessly funny. There's not a wasted scene
in Happy Gilmore. You've got one of the greatest nineties
movie baddies of all time. Shooter, Yes, endlessly even the pistol.
He buys the home in all of that, because he
(14:33):
buys the foreclosed home of his NaNs.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
All that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He's brilliant. And I said, I gave let it's a
small speech beforehand. I said, Look, the thing about peak
Sandman movies is he's always best when he's a psycho
and he's yelling like this in the opening scene of
Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Terry, wait, wait, hold on a second, babe.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, you're not going for good, are you, Honey?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You're going nowhere happy, and you're taking me with you.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
All you ever talk about is being a pro hockey player.
Speaker 15 (15:00):
But there's a problem.
Speaker 17 (15:02):
You're not any good.
Speaker 15 (15:03):
I am good.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You're a lousy kindergarten teacher. I've seen not fingerpaints. You
bring hom the sack.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
There's thing, yes, suck and it's just you forget. There's
so many great bits said. I've forgot about chubs coach
cold Weathers yea, the great cold Weathers. The fake it's
way too big, but that's what makes it funny. It
should have been. It's there's no way a fake hand
would be that big. And then the fingers keep coming
(15:37):
off and it gets run over, and he goes, don't
worry about that, that's solid wood and just crumble, and
that line, why don't you just go.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Get in the ball.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
It's got more quotable jokes per minute than any other
Adam Sander movie, I think any of the good movie. Yees.
So it's so good as we're watching it and just
falling back in over the nineties, I actually started to
google this morning Timberland boots. I might buy a pair
of timber and boots.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Do you know when you don't.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I just won those chances to have a pair in
the nineties. I'm going to bring back Timberland boots. Oh god,
you have a hypercolor T shirt. Yeah. Yeah. And then
the end of it, I said, what do you think
we were laughing our asses after that? It's still relentlessly funny.
Do you remember when they're those those those comedy movies
of the nineties, you know, and obviously there was like
(16:31):
Dumb and Dumber as well. They were like the big
movies of the years. They were the blockbusters. They were
the blockbuster and they just went for jokes. They didn't
worry about making a serious pointer ring if they just
went for jokes. And they're just joyous. They're plainful and joyous,
and both of us are laughing relentlessly, and I was
so pleased because I was wondering, like, is it that
good now? In the end of it, I went, just
be honest. Mark set Tennis shows that is an eleven
(16:52):
out of ten.
Speaker 15 (16:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
It was beautiful not having to worry about cooking dinner,
washing up, treated like a queen per a day.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
It was lovely, but checking out there was a little
bit of a mix up with the car. They were
very busy. A lot of people had staycations this year.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
And it's a really religible story for families, is that
right now, with the cost of itting crisis, we can't
afford to go to NUSA, can't afford to go to Fiji,
but we can afford to go on staycation. We go
on Airbnb. No, the lang on.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
A lot of people are doing it.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
It was very nice anyway.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
So we gave them our ticket as you do for
the parking, and they go, fetch your car right anyway,
and we said, yeah, it's just the unda, gave them
the regio and everything. Anyway, he pulled up and it
wasn't our car. It was lovely here under it was
a brand new Santa Fe.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's shouting your new car anyway, left.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
The keys in the ignition, opened the boot and everything.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
It was just like left there and I said, oh, sorry, no,
you've got the wrong car with ours is just a Tucson.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Ours is and you're like that that's very nice, terribly sorry,
we're very busy. Now, that's all right, we're not.

the old Arkansas chugger, the staycation pocket.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Anyway, he came around.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
No one's going to see it, just ignition.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
He brought back a really old Tucson that had like
wheel cats missing and on, and we said no.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
No, no, straw sticking out the exhaust pipe.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
That's not ours.

Donkey and car all the way back to the west.

I am no blinda. What happened in the bedroom?
Speaker 17 (21:56):
Okay? So I woke up in the middle of the
night to use the bathroom facilities, as one does, and
my blood pressure obviously dropped drastically and I fainted my paints.
I hit the end of the bed and smashed my face,
broke the bridge of my nose, and I had a
(22:18):
huge black eye, passed out on the ground.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Awful.
Speaker 17 (22:25):
My husband woke me up. I had blood pouring out
of my nose. He kind of fixed everything up, and
then for the rest.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Of the went back to bed.
Speaker 17 (22:34):
Three weeks I had to explain to people why I
had a massive black eye and broken bridge.
Speaker 18 (22:41):
Of my nose.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
After all that. Yeah, good point. Sorry the guy who
used to stand there, do you remember he's famous for
the unnecessary backup question? Let it go with him? Let
it go with him, Okay, to shake it off, just
shake it off. But we didn't need to go back
to her needing that peak. We are live on air.

massive and had a very heavy marble bass. Anyway, when
we needed quiet time away from the kids in our bedroom,
that used to be the door stopper.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Oh what a great when we all had those.
Speaker 16 (24:16):
I've watched one night I ran in eagerly.
Speaker 14 (24:20):

Speaker 1 (24:24):
On the old kiddie blocker.
Speaker 16 (24:26):
Yeah, and currently I'm sporting a scab on my nose

All right, what are the odds? What about a canine?
Want to get us going? Woof wolf? Okay, this comes
from Susan Christian. I got my dog from a breeder
in Tazzy. One day she mentioned that one of my
boys siblings had also come to Victoria to a family
out Coldstreamway. The guy apparently used to work at the
(25:21):
brewery but had since retired. She gave me his name.
I thought about calling, but never got around to it.
Then one day at work I got the spidey sense
I had to ring the brewery today. No idea who
was going to answer, but I had to make the call.
I rang them and I said, hear me, how, I
know this sounds weird, but I have to ring. I
have a Burmese dog and the guy used to manage
(25:43):
the brewery apparently had one too. Before I keep even
get any further, this guy at the other ring goes,
I don't even know his name. Do you mean Rob,
he's sitting here at the bar. I'll put you on Christian.

from my brother's wedding. He'd been to primary school with him,
knew the family, and contacted my mom.

Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:46):

Speaker 10 (32:18):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast will to confuse stories to
do with births and birthdays.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
A Ria, you got a store about warm of either
or what happened at a birth or on a birthday?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yes, I am a miracle baby than aando.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Plause, come on, miracle baby.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So my parents didn't think they could have natural born kids.
So my elder sister, Kimber, is adopted from South Korea.
My second sister Alex was one of the very first
IVF babies in Australia.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This was incredible.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
And my mum was forty two, dad was forty six.
They were living in Fiji with the family. Dad was
a doctor on one of the islands there, and Mum
was like, I swear I'm pregnant, and Dad goes, no,
not possible, Like not possible, No way, you're kidding. So
they went to the doctor on the mainland who had
like the scans and blah blah blah, and he did
(33:12):
the scans and he goes, you're pregnant, but unfortunately the
baby doesn't have a heartbeat, so mum was devastated. They
went back to the island. Mom can't drink khalure anymore
because for that week she was just so depressed. You
just drank heaps and heaps of kalua cocktails, still can't
stand the smell of it.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
And then like a week or.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Two later, she's like, no, I swear I'm still pregnant.
So they went back to a different doctor. This was
in Australia, and the doctor's like, oh, yeah, he's fine,
Like there's.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
A little what a remarkable story.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, And then well Mum, because she had so many
troubles before, and she's forty two and dad was forty six.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
They were a bit worried about how it all turn out.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Of course here, I am wow, that is an insane story.
They're mentally so you wanted the first thought to just
didn't pick up a baby's heartbeat?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yeah, I do want to cast dispersions over doctors.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The last thing we wanted to is created an international incident.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
But maybe they didn't have quite the same technology or
equipment or something like that that maybe we have here
in Australia. So he made a bit of a bit
of an error.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Your mom and dad must have just been amazed.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Yes, well dad, I mean dad's a doctor, and he
was just like, you're not thinking you think.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
He would don't go point the finger at the offpha Jen.
Doctors point that finger at doctor Lee.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
It was like, there's no, there's absolutely no way that
you could be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Oh my god, The Miracle Baby.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
That's it. Great you figure that out.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (35:56):
I just sat down and think, oh, drop the down numbers,
and I'm thinking, oh, mom was born seventeenth March ninety
fifty one at the Times table. But as you know,
I am tenth of October. Actually I was born forty
five years ago something. Let's see, we had up to
one hundred, so I basically said the nunders up to
one hundred. It's just it's not really an interest, just
a talking point of.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
A talking point phrase. There just sat down judging numbers.
I can't stand if you're doing the family finances or
stuff like that, but just randomly and it's like a
beautiful mind. This is this is a great one. Camin.

their second daughter on Melbourne Cup Day, so we were
in the wards. He was getting the labor pains and
the doctor came in to check on her and I said,
made any chance you could grab us a radio so
I can listen to the races, And the missus wasn't
(36:59):
too impressed. Give me an evil look and he goes, yeah,
I'll grab you one. And he came back and said
have you got a tip for the cap and I said,
mackay ve you deaver and he pulled twenty dollars head
of his pocket and gave any chance you can put
a bed on?
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Well, no, there isn't. Actually you can't do that because
you've got to be there for your partner.
Speaker 15 (37:17):

me hand like a proud parent, and she's just giving
me daggers, mate. I was looking around to make sure
there wasn't a scalpe, because you.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Would have given me you'd been a patient there as well.
Speaker 15 (37:46):

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Sure, only in Australia. Tim, thank you very much the story.
Thanks guys, there were one and you Christian O'Connell show
go on podcast. Something happened to me yesterday and thought,
I wonder what parts would have done this situation. I
was put into a very awkward situation. Yesterday. I went
over to one of the more expensive and pricey and
(38:15):
beautiful parts of Melbourne, Albert Park. Oh yeah, of course
that's where they have that billionaire sport f one. But anyway,
I want to surprise my wife. She's a massive fan
of Elizabeth Gilbert and her new book came out and
I was ringing around old school see if they had
a copy and Avenue bookstores. It's a brilliant chain of them.
There's one here in Richmond. They didn't have it, yeah,
but they did. The one in albert Park did. So
(38:37):
I went over to albert Park got the book for
her to surprise her, and I thought, I'll have some
breakfast some staff in now. So it's a gift for
my wife and a gift for Christy Boyd, a listener.
It serves me right. So I wanted some chili scrambled
eggs with a side of bacon.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I got to pay. I didn't have the bacon. They
charged me for the bacon.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
What do you mean you didn't You didn't hate it,
or they didn't they didn't bring it.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
You didn't say anything even at the time when you
get your bacon.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I have a real I have a real problem.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
If Sarah was that, I ask her to say something,
because if you talk for a living, you do stand
up anywhere you jump up into that you won't even
So where's my Bacon's grown? Ass man? So I just
skunked out there stopped. I thought, you've grown gotta go
back in and say something. But the listener was so kind.
They'd asked for a photo with me. I can't then go, hey,
(39:31):
I think you scam me. You're tickling my ego one hand,
and then you take your money out of my back pocket.
I don't think you do. Listen to the show. But
you tried that one the other day with you know,
sampang or.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
The paint didn't get his postry.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
For me once down but Park Cafe, it is a
man thing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Yeah, produced a teina at a cafe down the road
and they made this terrible coffee. It was actually foaming
up and could in this city that's unheard, and she's like,
send it back. I was like, I possibly, and she
took it up for me to even.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Sounded English when you said I couldn't possibly, that's how
we sound.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
It makes my blood.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I would apologize seeing I would apologize for not having
my own bacons. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I even ordered it.
I'm sorry to ask, I'm sorry to have to I
paid it. It wasn't cheap.
Speaker 21 (40:26):
Albert Park signed bloody bacon? Am I paying for the pig?
And then like Christ, hating myself all day, I was
so annoyed. I didn't have the bulls to go in
going hey, listen, you know you're obviously busy.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
But I never got that bacon because then I thought
they might think that I was lying, and I hate
the baker and that's even worse that they were it.
I met that English guy once and he what he does.
He goes around asking for a sign of bacon and
then he eats it goes. I didn't get many baconcing
it's a deady mail CMZ. This happened in Alburt Park.
(40:58):
I frequentse you do, Gorsey does. I'm sorry to hear
this bacon and eating it?
Speaker 13 (41:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:08):
So perhaps would you have gone back? Be honest, if
it was a listener and they just asked you a
photo with you, would you go in and go paid
twelve dollars more for something good?
Speaker 8 (41:17):
No, it's all about timing, and it's all about how
you bring the topic up. Chris will do this. I
won't say anything, but he'll be scathing in the car.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
