Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Happy Friday, Reo, Happy Friday, Guys, Happy Friday, Pats, Hello Alex.
Welcome to the weekends. All right, so let's do double
thumbs up. This is where we go around the team
and we share what we're into this week. A couple
of things for me. Brilliant, brilliant sports documentary. A really
great sports documentary. Transcends whether or not you're a fan
of that. And even if you're not an F one fan,

(00:47):
you can watch Senna one of the most amazing documentaries
ever made.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You don't need to be into the sport.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I would say that about this wild documentary on watching
at the moment, about the nineties dynasty of the Dallas Cowboys,
the Gambler and his money, about Jerry Rice and how
we transformed the NFL actually and out the wild ride
of the Dallas Cowboys when he brought the club of
the n nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's a ten out of ten documentary. It is so good.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I've seen some clips on Instagram what a different time.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, all of it. And what a character that's Jerry
rices as well. It's an amazing documentary. I'm halfway through it.
I cannot stop thinking about it, googling about it.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I don't know what a rusher is.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You know, after he's probably go oh, Terry, you know
he's a wide sacker or something.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Is he legend?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I don't know? Is that is that good?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Is he?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Is he one of the offenders or the defenders? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, all that tight ends, tight end, wide ends. How
many of you were in this team? It's ridiculous. Who's
doing what? And so and so got sacked? Did he what?
It's from the team. It's just it's a plague.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I saw a clip on Instagram.

Speaker 6 (01:54):
Is it the one where he drills oil and he's
trying to h and that's how he makes his fortune?

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
All on this one. No, no, no, that's it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
The Gambler is money. Cannot recommend it enough. It's a
brilliant documentary. And the other thing, I actually need some
advice in our family. I find the TV shows, we
watched them, but my wife loves sci fi. So this
week I started to watch a sci fi I've done
some research or what's good? Is anyone watching Foundation? Does
it get better? We watched an episode last night and

(02:24):
it seemed I'm not a massive sci fi fan. It
feels like every TV show you've ever seen that sci
fi there's something with a galactic federation. They're up to
no good, and straight away first episode it's like the
Galactins need the crayon crystals and we're not gonna let
them have it so easily. And then there's some explosion
in space and you're like this is all very familiar.

(02:47):
There's a shady foundation, there's a genius who they're going
to arrest, and this was the first episode.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
It was like I've seen all this before.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I find them so hard to follow sci fi. That's
where I really struggle.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Like I watched Dark the Netflix series, which is really
good is it? But again like I had to be
wikipediaing every single episode because I didn't exactly know what
happened after I Well.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
In episode one, the mad scientists have been banished to
a planet Tyron and they say all this stuff like
we know what that is.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I'm like, yes, too much assumed knowledge.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
There's also a lot of very overhammy British cast in it.
We're all, yes, well, the Admiral's not going to get
away that easy with it. You know, you just desperately
be back on the West End theater. You're slamming it
in this box sci fi script. How do you not
laugh your head off when you're in that city tunic
as well?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
And you go, Admiral, thank you for joining us.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'm a grown adult. I studied for ten years.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, but anyway, we're into it now and that is
my weekend. I'm my own show with the Dallas Cowboys
and then it's with Missus O'Connor.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
When watching this foundation, please.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Tell me gets better or if there's a bit of
sci fi show that we should be watching, please let
me know.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Christian O'Connell show.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Go on podcast Patsy, what are you into?

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Yeah, I've just finished a great book by Naomi Watts,
who is leading the charge, helping to lead the charge
in menopause awareness. Dare I say it? Everything I wish
i'd known about menopause. So she featured on Oprah's recent
Minopause Revolution show, very very open and doing amazing things.
I recommend if this is you follow her if you're

(04:24):
not already on Instagram, she shares videos. It's really inspirational
and like the forward in a book for the generations
of women who've suffered in silence and for the next generations,
may they suffer no more, which is.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Exactly And you know what, you're part of this movement?

Speaker 7 (04:41):
Yes, I know you.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
You start the two years ago, to be fair, Yeah,
I did.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's incredible.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
How now you know what you've kicked started now it's
like a real movement that helping millions of women all over. Honestly,
whenever you talk about a book like this, I get
emails every and every single day from not just women
going through but men as well that want to help
support the partner and actually read it and find out more.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So when are you writing your book?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
No, you're seriously You've got the podcast and it's great
what name's doing, but you've got to do this as well,
because your story be unique.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah, I will, I will. I need your help on that.
I wouldn't even know where to start. I think this
is what I do before a big project is I
get so overawed with the enormity of the task that
I and also that imposter syndrome where I think, what
could I possibly write being honest here, what could I
possibly write that anyone would Well.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'll tell you what you could write.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
The only thing, listen, the only thing we're a master
of is our own lives. Talk about your story, talk
about what it's been like to do the podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
What surprised you?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You must have so many stories, some other women as well,
that you can weave those together as.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
Well well, stories, so many common themes. We all say
the same things like, so many common themes. And if
it makes someone else, which is why I've done the podcast,
If it makes someone else feel better about their journey
and know that they're not alone, that is the biggest
payoff for me. And I'm getting so.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Many But that's when you write the book, When you go,
why would I write the book? It's the same thing
for the podcast. Why start podcasts? True, it's just the
same thing, and a slow.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
And actually a book will mean that you going around
and doing the interviews talking about it creates bigger rippors
and helps more people.

Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do the book.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
I will do the book.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I will Yeah, doing it, double thumbs up. Already it's
not written, it's that good and will come in the
book to us. She didn't invite any of usus The
Christian O'Connell show podcast, Ria, What are you into at
the moment?

Speaker 6 (06:39):
I've really been into this ABC News feature story of
the Week. It has been a horrible, horrible news week.
I think we all know that this is the perfect antidote.
It's this story about this Ossie family who since this
Ugandan kid whose name's Eddie, since he was four, they've
been sponsoring him through the Child Sponsor Project, and they've

(07:01):
been writing letters. The kids have been saving up their
pocket money since they were four, the same age as him,
and sponsoring him and writing him letters every single month.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
He is now thirty six years old. He is a scientist.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
He's a researcher in America now in John Hopkins University
studying HIV research.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
They still write letters to each other.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
He has landed in Australia this week and has met
the family for the first time.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Why haven't we got him on the show? He's got
so much it's giving me a goose bumps.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's incredible. There's a You might have seen the video
on Instagram. It's been going crazy.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Viral, so I didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
As a beautiful, beautiful moment where he comes out of
the airport terminal and he sees the dad for the
first time and they hug and it is it's the longest,
the longest hug I've ever seen in my life. It's
honestly like two minutes and he just collapses into his arms.
He's got this big, beautiful grin and a story thirty
years of sort of having his family but not really
have like never meeting them, and now they've finally met

(08:01):
in Australia. He's here for a medical conference actually, and
now they've finally had that moment. We're they're together as
this complete family. It's really beautiful.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
If you just got on the ABC website or the
ABC Instagram, you'll see the headline there.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Beautiful stuff, Alex. What's it for you me?

Speaker 8 (08:18):
A bit of a language warning on this one. It's
called Pissants. It's a book written.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
By Brandon Jack.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
I have been laughing every second page reading this book.
It is searingly, brutally unbelievably great and he's done so well.
He's a former Sydney Swans player, a fringe player, it
must be said, twenty eight games between Well in the
mid twenty tens. His brother is kier and Jack premiership
winner in twenty twelve. His father is Gary Jack, rugby

(08:45):
league legend play for Wales, Baumin Australia as well.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
So serious sporting pedigree. But he's written this book.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
It's a fictional I guess, snapshot of a footy club
and it is brutally funny. Like it's so so good.
This kid is an amazing writer. He's only young and
he's gone and written this book. He's first ever novel,
and I just love it. It's just fantastic. It's a
fictional account of a football club focusing on the everyday
lives of these players. And like, you've got these young

(09:14):
men like this, what forty four players on a team list?

Speaker 5 (09:18):
You're gonna get shenanigans.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
And this guy writes about these shenanigans the nicknames as well.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I wanted to just read you quickly. Terry equals Terry
top up.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
It refers to young players who are undrafted and respond
positively to the olive branch extended by the club and
the promise that if they're playable enough in the reserve
grade team for a year and attend all training sessions.
Then they may find themselves on the list at the
end of the year. It is worth saying that this
is never the case.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
What's the name of the book.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
It's called piss Ants by Brandon Jack. It is wonderful,
very very funny. I just love it.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Go and rad it. It's really good.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Go on to Michelle.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Christian will be watching Building the Band on Netflix. Amazing
seeing is That's a really good show. Christian sci Fi recommendations.
Thank you very much to everyone. I'm getting a lot
now on SI recommendations. You rattle those sci fi nerds cage.
No one ever on radio we ever asked for their opinion.
Now they're last given them. You need Galad nineteen, but

(10:19):
go back to the first prequel before.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
They left the planet Skagog.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yes, Christian sci Fi couple recommendations. Murder Bot on Apple TV,
Brilliant Dark Matter on Amazon. Then there's an Aussie rated
Ossie one. Don't worry about that. Seeing a lot of
Australian TV. They kind of didn't get it right on
Planet Earth. Let's not worry about putting in. We saw
that rocket fall over two weeks ago. Severance. I have seen.

(10:46):
Severance is absolutely brilliant. You've seen Severnce, haven't y?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Love it?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh my god, what an amazing show, all of it,
the way it's directed, the cast, that's like nothing I've
ever seen before. And this is what sci fi people
always do as well, they start boring you about the
book than the TV series. The Foundation series on TV
is nothing like the book. That's right, because there's a
book mate and it's not the TV show. All right,

(11:11):
we have some thank you, so more importantly, let's just
see how much money you've raised since eight o'clock Monday morning.
It's over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Here we go,
as we're live right now, we'd ask you to try
and give whatever you can to backpacks of VIC kids.
One hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. It's astonishing. I

(11:32):
remember two days ago we were saying, I'd be great
if we could give them one thousand dollars, one hundred
thousand dollars by the end of nine o'clock on Friday,
hopefully by the end of the show today in two
hours and twenty odd minutes'd be great if we could
get up to one hundred and seventy thousand. If you
want to find out more about the amazing work backpacks
of X Kids do head to the Christian O'Connor show

don't cut it square.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh really, yep?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Pats please, I need to know reading. Oh I'm not
off here, band off with the sci fi stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Now we were all straight into Rose Trimmy. This is
somehow even older than a three aw run down. And
as soon as we were talking about the hot new
show in town, river Dance, it's nineteen ninety nine. Come on, guys,
Keith Christian Town Pats to sterilize.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Hey, listen, you don't ever tell Pants anything.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
No, I need to know.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
She is our verse of old crazy Bob, that politician.
Do you not mention?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Don't ever march in Patsy's dodgy Lebanese heritage.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Fuck you out. I'll trim your limbs back and not
on the angle.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
What a sterilizing the cs.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
I've never heard of this. I don't know Keith all
about it.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Christian Town Pants, I've said, don't tell her anything.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
She tells you.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Keith Town Pats will sterilize her secreturs, and make sure
don't ever say that her secreturs are rusty.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
LL do as well.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Everything's very clean in that place. I bet pass has
got the most cleanest home of anyone at the.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Minute, because.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Clean it comes at three a m.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
They're rusty, though, like I've still got the original sicretars
from like thirty years ago. Maybe I need a new sit.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Make sure they raise the sharp and before cutting the
next rosebush, sterilize again.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
This will stop cross contamination. That's anything.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
The rust of the secreateurs block capitals now, do not
use them.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
I'll check them out I'll get a new pair.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
And then someone else saying I didn't know you get
electric pruning este I mean, isn't that much effort just
to sort of open clothes?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Open clothes? You need that to be auto make love
with ai.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
I could get the electric knife out there that do
the same.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thing's got like baby teeth, isn't it like this is
so half a what of power in those things?

Speaker 5 (22:02):
So gutlets eighties Christmas.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
The yeah, yeah, yes, you won't to believe what.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I was so looking forward yesterday going to see this
movie's Melbourne International Film Festival. It's called The Ballad of
Wallace Island. It's when all these awards has got a
great line up. Steve Coogan is the producer of it
as well. I'm Tim Key, who's a brilliant comedian and
the whole loss of it. So I went to this
twelve thirty showing. I was so excited to have a
couple of hours just getting to see this brilliant comedy

(22:31):
movie with heart. So I go in there right, there's
no one in the cinema and actually no one there.
I've never experienced were it's actually odd to be in
a cinema by yourself.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Sit wherever you want.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
What is it about human nature that I still sat
in my designated the signs? Yeah, this is I'm ten
g I stick by these rules and regulations. Anyway, I'm
in that. The movie doesn't. It's like half an hour late.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
That's really odd. What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's half an hour late. You didn't tweak for half
of it? No, it gets worse the story the movie starts.
I'm thinking, this is strange vibe to this movie. It's
not what I've been reading I'm expecting. And then there's
people in it. They're not on the poster. I'm Aubrey Plasa.
She's a big name. I'd want to be on the poster.

(23:16):
Chris Evans is in this twenty minutes thinking this ain't
my movie, and god damn it, there's some student running this.
He's half an hour late, and now he's playing the
wrong movie. I go beat thing out to reception. Listen,
I'm in the right cinema, but they're playing.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
The wrong movie. Show ticket.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
They went, you're right, that's not the movie in that one.
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I go and get the manager. The manager comes over
and has a look you can't I just see a
ticket again?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, I said, it's nuts and it was half an
hour late. Then she goes, oh, you're in the wrong cinema, Christian,
you got your eyes tested to what do you actually
there's another to say.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
They were looking at me fuddled full. Do you want
to try and get you?

Speaker 2 (24:03):
They want to start, so you missed it starts missed thing?

Speaker 7 (24:08):
Oh you were looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
That's actually really sad, just getting that dry. Just lose
a drive home. Then later on my wife was what
was the movie? Like, I don't want to talk about?
You want to talk about?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
They were like, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
On tonight, come back tonight, why not come back?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Don't come back. I'm coming back. They'll be talking about
me for days. I had some mad English guy the
wrong movie and went with the wrong.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Sad thing. It was, it's like a horror movie. I
started watching, going this is a grim old start. Someone's
dead anyway today?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Have you ever done that wrong place, wrong time, wrong day,
wrong anything?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No only was I watching the wrong movie, I was
in the wrong cinema. It's amazing to get two wrongs.
They certainly didn't make it right. So have you ever
done this wrong place the wrong day? Christian passes secreturs?
Please stop talking about Pats's secondturs. Give me coming viral
in a minute, Rusty, because she probably put them in
the dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
That oh my god.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yet the start of yesterday's show we almost all went home.
Patsy told so she puts thongs sometimes in the dishwasher.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
Yeah, you've got to after a trip to BALLEI.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Them there, Christian.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
I once went to an eighteenth birthday party a week
early and I was to think, Wow, not a lot
of people here, very unpopular kid.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Rio. Have you ever done that? You strike me? Someone
too smart?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
No, no, no, I was.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
I did exchange in America in Wisconsin, and I took
up a subject. It was a law subject, like a
Foundations of law, a first year subject. I thought, as
an Australian, would that's the easy way in?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
For look?

Speaker 6 (25:57):
It would have been honestly four or five weeks. I mean,
this is so hard, this is so confusing.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
I should have tweaked because I had the wrong textbook
as well. I was like, what's it different textbook to me?
And why there's so much assume knowledge in there. Why
hasn't the professor like started at the very start. And
it wasn't until I went and chatted to the professor.
I was like, look, honestly, like, I'm really really struggling.
I'm from Australia. I don't know, like if I can
get some extra.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Help special Australian dispensations.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yea, He's like, you're in the doctorate class. I was
doing a doctrine of war.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Okay, it's so related, isn't it. And we have so
many stories every day about doctor at Mishaps and Monday's

Interesting fact, what was the largest plagiarism payout in music
at the time. He was sued by the Isley Brothers
who had.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
A you don't want to go up against them in
corn song.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
So all the profits from that which was I think time,
Love and Tenderness. It was like the huge album and
like producer Caitlin before said, a bit of a BA
side song, Pats. No, it was huge. It was huge,
but he lost all of the prophets like five point
four million in this massive lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
To which which which Icy Brothers song did he take it?

Speaker 7 (33:25):
Love is a wonderful thing?

Speaker 6 (33:26):
Oh it does sound pretty similar.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I saw the joke, said, and no, wonder we couldn't.
He can't even afford to singing that song, but we play.
He's iding in the background trying to get away with it,
your dirty little cheek.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Five million bucksy loss, though it was massive at the time.
And another really quick fun fact about Michael Bolton is
that he baby sat a very young little Paula Abdor
when she was a baby.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Oh yes, Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast, Christian Lovers
all around.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
You should know. This was four weddings and a funeral.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
The song Patsy mentioned when you say nothing at all
with Ronan keating nodding.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Hell it was. Oh, it actually annoyed me. Watched it
again a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Four weddings and a funeral, Oh my god, it's still
it must been like twenty thirty years old now it
is still a brilliant comedy with heart.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
That's so good. All right.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
So continuing the theme of love in this hour, you
love it, but your partner hates it. And that's what
it is to be in a loving relationship, isn't it?
Those two paradox There's a paradox in life. You know
that you might love something but your partner really hates it.
You know what I'm going to say. A couple of
weeks ago, I want to get a new dormer, and
I thought I just get some a bit more interesting
and exciting than a boring, old welcome one I thought.

(44:56):
I found out you can get banned ones. I thought,
I gets it. Oh my god, I getting an eight
O waste this one on TIMU for three dollars. It
turned up basically, do you remember that lou role that
we used to at school? Barely a gram that's what
this material is made out. You couldn't wipe your hands
on this thing. It's it's so lightweight, and you saw

(45:19):
it's it's a beautiful storm.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
I love it, but my partner hates it. It is
twice I've rescued out of the bin. Come bring it
back from the bring.

Speaker 10 (45:34):
What a fluo union Jack vivid, It pops like perhaps
he's bricks, stings, the eyeballs, wetsuit material.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
That's it Monday, It's going to be the mat now
in the studio. We need sunny beautiful and I love it,
but my part hates it because I'm the only person in.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
The world that loves this.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
They made a sail.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Some loon down under rha what's it for you?

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Well, my partner Will loves his art, very into it.
So he's got a lovely collection of art prints like
I don't know, impressions, a couple of arm doos, yes,
a couple of his.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Arms probably more mice my level of art.

Speaker 6 (46:24):
And so that we've got a lovely little art gallery
wall of all his art.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
And I want to put the only.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Print that I've ever bought, which is this I'm holding
in my hand right now, which is a print of
Australian number five batsman Travis Head celebrating after we won
the the wonder International World Cup. It is a painting
of him with sunnies and doing the sort of shooting fingers.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Do you judge Kate.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Seen and you judge Mytormer, you wouldn't put this next
to a monaue.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Where's Wally Oyebrow?

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Get Instagram's hands signed by the artist?

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Wow O, that is beautiful. That's why it's not framed.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Just carry it around because it's not allowed to make
it onto the wall.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Patsy, what's it for you? What do you love? Your
partner hates?

Speaker 7 (47:29):
Oh, well, it's Chris actually when we moved in together
because he's a big Elvis fan, and so I originally
had the flat and he was moving in. I said, listen,
you know, let's be fair. I want you to stamp
you're it's our place now, it's not just mine. You know,
what do you want to do with the day call
let's let's have a look. But what he had was
his massive great print of Elvis beautiful singing. It was

(47:53):
disgusting and it had TCB with the lightning strike. And
I said, anything but that, please, anything but that.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I'm bringing my Elvis dolin. I've got this doll. Elvis
lights up. You can change you can change his heads
a doll. It's amazing, it's so cool, it's so cool.
Elms lights up and run so at nights some of
the lights are out. It looks like Elvis is by
going stage. It's got two different heads.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
I think brry me with there are my Oasis, Matt
Journey to the Other Side.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
With the King and got it at the Franklin Mint
and it came, yes the past. It came with its
own separate mini framed like glass framed certificate of authenticity.
This is like number two hundred of three hundred and yeah,
it's just nuh. I couldn't know. No, it wasn't happening.

(48:48):
That is not going on.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Alex sorts it for you.

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Similar I've got some NRL merchant an incredibly beholder framed
photo of two regular League legends and Mick cronin Stars
of the eighties standing in the middle of the Sydney
Cricket Ground after the nine to eighty six Rand final
win over Cannary Bank Town.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
It is just magical.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
I love it so much.

Speaker 8 (49:11):
And Bonnie took one look at it and says that's
not going anywhere near her house. That's not going up anywhere.
So it was always in the garage, which was really disappointed.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
That's where so much of my man stuff is I've
got stuff that's like.

Speaker 8 (49:22):
That lovely in the garage in the garage, and I
like the equivalent to what victorians would would know. It
would be like Tim Watson and Terry Danner are standing
in the middle of the mcgive Grand Final. It's that
these two are absolute legends and I think it should
be up in our house.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
That I'm happy for you to bring that in and
put that in your little sport booth over there.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
That's going nowhere other than a shredder. It's so bad.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It literally is all right, Monday Show. What's more bogan
than that? I don't think there is anything If you
came to watching it on a jet ski you know somebody,
all right, so you love it but your partner hates it?

Speaker 1 (50:07):
What's your version?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
It warms my heart to tell you it's almost one
hundred and sixty three thousand dollars you've raised since Monday
morning eight o'clock. It's incredible and it's such a big
amount of money, especially this year. The reason why we're
in this situation, why this beautiful charity Backpacks of It
Kids Knees, was last week asking for our help again

(50:32):
is that actually this year people are just aren't able
to donate to charities that they would have done generously
the last company is because we all know why the
cost of living at the moment is sky ice never
been higher, and so to raise one hundred and well
almost sixty three thousand in a week is astonishing, really
really astonishing. Thank you very much for everyone. Whether you've

(50:53):
given ten, twenty, you've given, that's it. It's been incredible. Actually,
and we've got another half an hour. I'd love it
just to see if we could have one final sprint
up to nine. Can we get one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars? And the reason why this is such a
dear charity to us and it is to everyone when
they hear me say what the charity is, why.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Is it called Backpacks of it Kids? This is what
it's all about.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
There are children who are There are thousands of these children,
the numbers are heartbreaking, who have to be taken from
an unsafe home environment, often in the middle of the night.
Some of them are barely clothed, they certainly don't have
any belongings. And so this backpack that the charity put
together just as that it's a backpack for the kids
and it's got basics in there like a blanket, pen, paper,
a toothbrush, and it actually has It really means a

(51:37):
big difference in those young lives when they get it
that someone somewhere has actually cared about them enough to
put this together. So that's why it's such a beautiful
charity to us. And everyone is donated this week, So
if you can in the next half an hour, please
head to the Christian O'Connell show dot com dot au. Sally,
who started this charity with some friends a couple of

(51:58):

just incredible. I'm so grateful on behalf of all the kids.

going to.
