You a Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's a Christian O'Connell show for chemists warehouse. Let's go
around the team find out what their bright side of
the weekend is.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I said, Friday's funly here.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Done to hang out with your friends. You've made it
through the week to the bright side of the weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
What a wild, wild week it has been, even just
for us in radio. This has been a week like
no other. Obviously I can go into any more details,
But yesterday I was having some acupuncture for my ongoing
recovery of my shoulder, and someone's on that treatment bench,
you know Whi's got the little dumb the face hoole, Yeah,

(02:31):
the guy. Suddenly there's been no talk of what I do,
there's been no mention of it as he's putting needles
into me. He just simply goes, is it true? So
are you moving to kiss? I'm like, we're going to
need some more needles if you want me to talk.
It's everywhere. They got a friend of mine who's an

(02:51):
Australian journalist and he said he's been doing over twenty
years the articles he's had to write about it, I've
been his most red ones ever.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Really, yes, wow, he said, it's so late.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It isn't it insane? Seven days? Patsy, what are you
up to this weekend?

Speaker 6 (03:08):
You should all feel very special this morning because it
is my twenty seventh not just mine, Chris is as well.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
It's our twenty seventh wedding anniversary.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Oh wow, congratulation.

Speaker 8 (03:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
I haven't even seen him yet today. I saw him
in bed obviously, but haven't talked to him. But I'm
talking to you people and our lovely listeners, and.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Thank you for talking to us people. Members of the
royal family speak like that. It's always nice to speak
to the people, the commoners. Yes, hey, that is something
to be really proud of. What a journey in.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Twenty seven doesn't feel like twenty seven? Nearly thirty so
I think it's mahogany on the old scale.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So yeah, and then what are you doing to celebrate?
Obviously you were off to Producercaden's wedding tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I heard from her yesterday evening. Oh god, I haven't
contacted her at all because she's off getting ready for
the wedding and with her readies and stuff like that. Okay,
she sent me a photo pop quiz here, how well
do you know producer Kadian? What do you think she
was doing in the photo that she wanted to share
with me?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Drinking yes and correct.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I brought a lot of Sharon couple weeks ago when
we did the show in Sydney. Because you had a
week off their rio, she had to work extra hard.
So I got a nice bot of shard name and
so she was tucking into it yesterday. I didn't see
any relatives in the background. And seriously, there was one
glass and three quarters of that bottle.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
Was dead because they're all in the driveway.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
She was hiding and they're gett in the backyard.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
She's probably not allowed to, you know, they probably said
no in the house, stay in your bands and you
win the bagos. There's no in the house. I'm so
excited for tomorrow for her and Sam. This has been
you know, once upon a time, not that long ago
in Australia, they wouldn't have been able to get married
as a gay couple.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
And here they are.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
They rightfully so can now do what heterosexual couples have had,
you know, been able to do for so long.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
I'm so wrapped for them. And yeah, I can't wait
together such a beautiful couple.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Give me a big emotional day for you. I mean
you're best friends. Yeah, I can't wait.

Speaker 8 (04:59):
I'm going to be at the ceremony where they're going
to do their vows at the town.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
A leaper, just one, I need a pen and paper.
So what they're going to turn up to the town
and do what that star you got f one in
town this week? You're going to start drawing crowds to
go and see them sign their vows some shrieking Bogan magazine.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
I'm very free out of her, and it has been
a journey anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
They could be listening right now radio Info already too much. Now,
perhaps I need some advice. So Ruby, my daughter's coming
onto the wedding reception tomorrow, Okay, And so she brought.
I took a shop in yesterday and she brought some
heels to go with her long dress. And I said, listen,
probably going to give it tired during the evening. I'll

(05:55):
take a backpack with some sneakers so you can change gears.
She said, you can't turn up to wedding with a bag,
so it's a bad look.

Speaker 9 (06:02):
I think it's.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Pretty common now, I reckon, maybe not a backpack is odd.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I agree, Why why eton contains for them odd too bulky?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
I think people not.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
We're not going to wear it the whole night, like
doing with the Explorer, chatting to people and dancing with
a backpack double strapped up.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Going to take a clutch like a man clutch, yes.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
Like little what are this is called those little shopping bags.
There's like not a Woolli's bag. Yes, Otherwise it's going
to take up too much roomor that the tables are
so squished.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
My feet aren't that big, and you've got I'm not
bringing skis somewhere behind the math about somewhere.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
I think that's a good idea. I'm thinking of bringing
some slip ons, to be honest. Yeah, if they'll be
on by the end of the night.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
So it's okay to do this because rubors that please
don't do that would be really odd if.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
You turn up with that is, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's a bag of cash. I'm gonna go to an
ATM today. We're going to get.

Speaker 8 (06:57):
This money because it was.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
And also these days when when I go to use
an a t M, which is where I'm terrified of
the germs on them. I'm not a German, you know what,
You just think he look filthy.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I've never thought of that.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
People smear things on them, on them and stuff like
they do in my area. They do in my area
rough part of town.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Christian, use your bent knuckles when you use an a
t M, fingers end up scratching your eyes and notes.
Do you want to be a super spreader? And of
course whenever you use an ATM, you still do that thing.
Have a cheey little look behind you, don't you sure
there's no Russian or Chinese spies. No one can see
these four digits. Take out my boss. And then when

(07:48):
you get the money as well, you make out I
would have got ten bucks here.

Speaker 10 (07:53):
Still cover their heads. I still do it. Slip in
who's looking at me?

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I slip it in slightly into my sort of pocket,
you know, as if I'm just putting a phone in
there and something like that, as if that's I've just
was just Who also wants to check their account?

Speaker 9 (08:06):
No?

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Never, never, who is doing it some.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Accounting on the streets next to a tobacco shop. They're
always next to vape shops, aren't they? Or these days
because a lot of the banks are sort of closed down,
they always want you to go online or onto the app. Now,
aren't that many. It's actually quite hard these days to
find an ATM. You had to go into a servo
where you have to pay something like an extra fifty
two dollars to take money out, I mean charged, and

(08:31):
it's always right by the loos as well.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, it's a half of those.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then those are the other ones that are in
the tobacco shops.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yes, now they're expensive, yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You have to walk past all the vast array at
the gallery of vapes.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Why are they so empty?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Now?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Have you noticed?

Speaker 8 (08:47):
Like tobacco shops now almost like showroom stores And I've
only got two walls of stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Never heard anyone reftaments like showroom stores. Excuse me, my
good man, where is your strawberry flavored vape? I'm going
to a wedding function this week. Eighty bucks A pack
it now, Alex, what are you up to this week?
What does the bright sign for you?

Speaker 9 (09:09):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (09:10):
Very social weekend on place to say that doesn't happen
to us very often with three small children. And that's
why we're excited yet worried because we've got friends and
family down for the Grand Prix, which is very exciting,
but we're going to try and get out on Saturday night,
and I'm very, very concerned about our babysitter, who is
going to be putting our children to bed for the
first time Saturday night.

Speaker 9 (09:30):
God.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, he's really worried.

Speaker 10 (09:34):
Yeah, yeah, we're kind.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
You're ready as you've been testing the babysitter and leading
up to this.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
Yeaheah, Yeah, there's been some kind of afternoon babysitting. So
she takes them in the afternoon every and now and again,
which has been lovely, but it's very relaxing, not relaxing,
but it's not as hard as putting them to bed.
So this Saturday will be the real test. We're not
going to be far away, so one of them.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Will be checking her phone every couple of minutes. Your wife, true, she.

Speaker 10 (09:57):
Will, and it's her friend we're catching up with. So
I'll probably have to go home and help out with
the bed.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, one of you had been called back one hundred percent.
How do you go on yesterday going down to the
f one because I don't know. I people realiz just
you could go and have a little look see around
it yesterday if you printed off a utility bill and
you live nearby, Yes, do they do that in the
Grand Prix around the world. I don't know. They can't
imagine in bah Rain and you know, you know, I
know I'd never fifty four George Streets in Spa in Belgium,

(10:25):
but don't do that. So how do we get on?

Speaker 10 (10:28):
Really well, yeah, I just took my little utility bill,
my electricity bill and gave that to the guy behind
the counter.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's such a sexy sport. You don't see that on
Drive to Survive. And he was like, fine, in you go.
It was great.

Speaker 10 (10:42):
It was fantastic, But Monaco, it ain't folks, you know,
Drive to Survive. I expected a bit of glamour. But
but no, you know which I.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Quite like, what are you saying? What were you underwhelm
by still Australian.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
Yeah, a whole lot of cashed up Bogans just just reveling,
reveling in their wonderful motorhead.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Majesty.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
You know, it was just I really enjoyed it and
I felt sort of with my people in that sense.
You know, we used to.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Smashing a Canadian club as well.

Speaker 10 (11:14):
I was not a lot of Canadian club they consumed,
and just a few beers in general, but it was
it was such an incredible event, like it's Melbourne turns
it on for these events. Let you know, get this
stray and open the Grand Prix as well. Everyone just
descends and it was a really wonderful atmosphere.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
I have discovered a great book on menopause, and as
this discussion is, the taboo lifts as it should on
this discussion. Women like me have a thirst for any single,
any documentary, We can watch, any podcast, we can listen to,
any book we can read, because it makes us feel heard,
it makes us feel supported, and it makes us feel

(21:17):
like we're not alone. And I've got a ripper. It's
Mary Pause. And it is by Mary Custas you will
know her as Efie winning Fie actress, comedian and now author.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
And this is a beautiful book. It is fantastic.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
It is with her very strong wit and humor and
her raw, honest account as we've known right throughout Mary's life,
with her childbirth story and conception. She is absolutely raw
and honest. And it will help you and it's fantastic.
You will get it in any good bookstore or any

(21:55):
of the major retailers. She's also I'm so glad she's
re Enactedfie. She's back on the comedy circuit. She's about
to hit the comedy festivals. She was in Adelaide last month.
She's Melbourne Comedy Festival to Easter and then Sydney and
Brisbane in May. If you want tickets, just head to
a website. But it's Mary Pause is the book?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
And is she going to be on your podcast?

Speaker 7 (22:19):
She's going to be on Rage against the Minnipaure.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes she is. Now some of you because we've got
a lot of you know, new people coming into the show.
Might now I know that Patsy for a couple of

That is with Billy Bob Thornton on Paramount. That's from Scott,

(24:26):
all right, a couple from me. Then we do this
every Friday. There are recommendations TV shows, books, podcasts. For me,
it's two TV shows and a movie I rewatched during
the week. The first thing is if you love to
Game of Thrones, there's a prequel series called a Night
of the Seven Kingdoms. They're not great, big monstrous hour
long episodes like Game of Thrones, half an hour one.

(24:49):
We actually watched it all last Friday night my wife
and night its brilliant. I was wondering if my wife
couldn't sleep because we'd watched the whole thing and there
was a lot of swords being plunged into people. She
had nightmares. Oh, no, that we were living in those times.
It's called Night of the Seven Kingdoms, set century before
Game of Thrones. Absolutely brilliant and it's really funny as well.
Very good. The other thing I'm enjoying is The Pit

(25:11):
season two, one of the best, most most what do
you even call it? Acting? Sometimes when we're watching it,
you forget you're actually watching actors. There's a reason why
it's won so many wars. It's an incredible show. And
then I rewatched Circario.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Oh, such a good movie.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
And Cicario two, two of the best action. Yes, I
love Yes, Yes, Josh Browning back again. We'rebin show, dol Dorre.
How good that first one, that crossing scene, Yes, where
they're coming in out of Mexico. I watched it because
of events going on in the world at the moment,
and so I just wanted to, I notice, brush up

(25:51):
on some of the politics and stuff like that. It's
an incredible By the way, the guy that wrote that,
Taylor Sheridan, is the guy that is the showrunner and
writer of Landman. Listen, Tony's been watching real what's a
double thumbs up for you?

this is definitely her biggest one, and it's a completely show.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yes, it's her show. It's a completely original concept.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
So a lot of shows, especially in Australia, imported formats
from US or the UK.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yes you're welcome.

Speaker 8 (27:21):

a museum after dark in Tasmania, and it's all centered
around being in the museum and the exhibitions and the
experts and things like that.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
The guests take each other on and then they're trying
to win the prize of having the things that they
brought in with them on the shelves.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
The guests all bring in a little artifact.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I start to watch it. It's very good. It's just
this brilliant Thanks May.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, she does a great job.

Speaker 8 (27:48):
And it's sort of a mix, I guess between like
Qi and task Master.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yes, yeah, that's what I liked about it. Yeah, it's
got very funny people.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yes, they get comedians on.

So many brilliant wants to choose from. My choice would
be Ann Wilson. Now, Wilson is the lead singer with
heart loads, big hits and gone incredible voice. But my

(36:17):
favorite song of hers is one she covered Stairway to
Heaven in front of Led Zeppelin and they're being honored
at the Kennedy Center and it's a big ars to
perform in front of one of the most important and
vital rock bands ever. Led Zep and Plant and Page
are there and they are in tears. They're humble by

(36:37):
their song being done. There's something she does with it
where afterwards Robert Plant said she did it better. And
you've got to watch this clip. He's crying. Robert Plant
has being those tears of like being humbled by something.
He must have heard so many people perform his own
song ter him like, really really stay away to Heaven
as well. It's actually it's a uniquely hymn song. But

(36:59):
her voice on this, this is Ann Wilson. All right,

The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
This week on the show, we're looking for the wildest
story that is out there. And this is because over
the weekend I met a lovely listener, Dennis with one
and a big American guy who told me this incredible
story about a quiet suburb of Los Angeles. Well, one day,
and this is the true story. One day, nine year
old girl was on the school bus and she looks
out the window and she sees a tiger licking its

(41:15):
paws behind a target store. And she told the teachers.
They didn't believe her or a dad. But then there
were other reports, and then there was this tigum in
a quiet sleepy in the books of la And as
he's telling me the story, and he said that thing
that we will say with an after you share an
incredible story, you couldn't make it up. And so I thought,

(41:35):
there must be that's a great wild American story. They're
being an equivalent in this country. And so that is
what we are searching for right now. We're calling it
you couldn't make it up. We want the biggest, wildest
story that is out there. Now we've had some incredible stories.
We're now up in the ante. I'm now putting five

(41:56):
thousand dollars a five thousand dollar bounty to whoever rings
with the best story before we say goodbye to you
in four weeks time into Easter, we'll have given the
money away to who has got a really original wild story.
Call me now, thirteen fifty five twenty two. When we
hear it, we'll give you the five thousand dollars. So
far the contenders. Strong contender Donna share the story about

(42:22):
her dad running himself over, whilst the mum claimed claim
not to know where the handbrate was. Even if you
got and drive a car, you know what that break
the handbreaking thing is. Why not just give it a
pull anyway to see it might stop the car running over,
to try to do something. Ryl, Peter, Peter, you know

(42:47):
Peter it. Yeah, this is this. This is a sad
This is a this is a story you could file
under time post tragedy equals well, I don't know if
it's comedy, but something his wife left him at the altar.
That's not what's happened. Yeah, no, no, this is a
his wife left him at the I mean, this happens

(43:07):
in life. Sadly, his wife leaves him at the altar.
But he'd already paid for the photos. This photographer goes, listen,
you paid for photos already. Why don't I take some
family snaps while I'm here?

Speaker 4 (43:20):
That's off.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
It's a big pitch, isn't it. You've got literally a heartbroken,
devastated man been asked to post a family photos.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Oh would you want a memory of that?

Speaker 14 (43:29):
King?

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Keep the money? What about a little memento. I get
these made into key rings and mouse mats. You know
when all your family saw you ditched, So they did
it because Australia. The photographer then went on a holiday
to Darwin where sadly, the photographer on holiday in Darwin
was eaten by a crocodile, so Peter never got the photos.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Incredible story, incredible story.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
You actually couldn't make it up. You really couldn't make
it up. You couldn't make this one up from Ronald Weaver.
Ronald's brother is an insurance claim assessor. One day he
had an insurance claim. They paid it on this so
the guy got out the shower. He walks naked through
the lounge, rum wants to turn the TV on. What's
he's bending over to turn the TV on? His cat

(44:16):
at that precise moment grabs his testicles. This guy got
such a fright he leapt up and put his head
through the TV. Don't walk naked through the lens room.
What are you doing? Cats, I've got a cat. And
they think it's some kind of speedball, and they're like,

(44:38):
you know, Floyd, Floyd Junior, let's start working that speedball
probably hanging e Yeah, well, as you get older. You
shouldn't have made that up. You couldn't make it up.
These are the stories at the moment, all right. Brand
new one from Christine many years ago Christian I was working.
I was managing a retail store. Arrived to work to

(44:59):
do the usual pre opening jobs, including switching on the
stereo system. It was missing. I'm easially rang head office.
They said, what are you in calling us? Call the police.
The police came. They said there was no obvious signs
of a break in. They were suspicious and hinted it
might have been an inside job to still the stereo.

(45:22):
It's Australia as big as heist. Not long after this,
a taxi drive arrived with the stereo that had been stolen.
Two guys have paid him to deliver it. They felt
guilty about it. They returned it.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Remorseful thieves.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Anyway, Christine was upset that the police more or less
accused of being involved in She marches down to the
police station with this taxi driver to back up her story,
and apparently even then, the duty sergeant went, it's still
a bit odd. It's still a bit odd. I've never
heard of criminals paying out money to send back something

(46:05):
they've stolen.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
I'm on the detective.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I'm sorry, Christine, I'm sorry, but you couldn't make it up. See,
we're getting these incredible stories on the first.

Speaker 3 (46:15):

but I'm committed to it. And it's five thousand dollars
for the wildest story we hear, five thousand dollars for

(46:41):
the wildest story we hear. You couldn't make it up? Jess.
Welcome to the show. Good morning, Good morning, Jess. We
did a good week so far. What's your story?

Speaker 2 (46:50):
So I gave birth to my second son in the
car while my husband was driving.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
That's a pretty amazing story. So yeah, take take us
there then. So obviously your waters are broken, you're rushing
to hospital.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
I had actually already been to the hospital and they
sent me home, telling me my contractions were getting further apart,
and so I was at home laboring just for a
little bit, and then I said to my husband, no,
they're getting stronger. We need to go back, and we
hopped in the car. I jumped in the passenger seat.
I had a contraction in the driveway, thinking, oh, good thing,

(47:25):
we're going back to the hospital. That was a strong one.
And as we got to the end of the street,
I had another contraction and his head crowned and I
said to husband, we're not going to make it, and
he's like, what do you mean we're not going to
make it? I said, well, the baby's coming, and.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
What part of him doesn't understand what do you mean
we're not going to make it. The baby's coming as
a person coming out right now?

Speaker 2 (47:52):

Speaker 1 (47:53):

Speaker 2 (47:54):
In shock? So yeah, while he was driving, he was
helping me to get my pants down to my knees
and then yeah, ten seconds later his head was out
and another ten seconds later I kind of grabbed him
and put him up onto my chest.

saying with the poor ambulance officers that was in the
headlights of the car as we pulled up to the hospital.

Made of mine had a single story house with an
a frame type roof, very steep, a little old pagol
out the front covered in vines that I was pretty dilapidated.
His gutters were full of leaves. So he threw a
rope up and over the house through the pergola and
incided his wife's car because she was away, and I
flowered himself down, tied the rope around his waist and
was cleaning out the gar Then he felt himself sliding

(49:54):
up the roof and he tried one do the night,
but his wife had come home and was going to
go to the shop and drove and dragged him up
over the roof, dragged him through the pagoal I ripped
the pagola down. He landed on the dive and try
to get to his feet to chase it down the drive.
