I Heeart podcasts. You can hear more gold one I
four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
free iHeart app.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Got anything good?

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

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh my god, that rarely gets sounded. That claxon by
the producers. Oh it's gone off again. The producers soundless guys.
Turn it off, and it's like a warning to me
from them that pats is tired. I'm going to speak
to her about it. Please turn it off. I've heard
reports that the jacket was inside out when he came

(00:51):
into work today, and also you were somehow I actually
drag your headphones into the kitchen.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
It's been a comedy of errors. It hasn't started out well.
Turn it off, not just the headphones, but my microphone popper.
And then I couldn't work out why my coffee bag
wasn't working. I'm thinking I put too much milk in there.
What's go I'd put iced water in Patsy. You know
what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
As he works so hard right now, I need to
do this job. You get out way before the rest
of us to drive in from Holland, isn't it feels
like otherwise known as Werriby. I mean it's easy to
fly in from Europe and drive from Weeraby to do this.
And you're a mom as well, and mum's worked way
way harder than dad's. And I hear, yes, there was

(01:35):
a Langham lunch.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
There was a Langam lunch, but it was it was
only like two hours. It wasn't oh.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Bloody sorry one certainly there was only two hours of
free eating and drinking. You're went down to one hundred
and twenty minutes for bender. You're right, yeah, there was,
but it under two hours. Alt, No, I don't think.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
It's that how sad it is when I pulled up
the guys that you know do the cars and stuff there,
what do they call him? The concierge know me?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
They call you guys. I just got your average Joes.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
And Mike's a lovely guy there. Hello, Mike, and I
just pulled up this analogy.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
We're just now doing the show call. We've managed to
reduce the show to mic.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
You barely even need to have a conversation. I just
hand him the keys. He goes, hey, Pet's enjoy yourself.
And it's just it's just like a.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Such a great story.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's actually really relatable. That lovely man treat you did
yesterday be the reason someone smiles today. Shout out to
Mike's throw the keys in his eyes. Actually, I'm getting
on for two hours. You're going to need to drive
you back as well. Mate.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's not like that at all. But I don't know
what's going on today, so anything's possible. So just you know, cool,
flax and cool.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
Well, that's that's good news, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Into a live broadcasting environment with microphones and words and
exhaustion and anything possible. What's worse than radio gone rogue?
Anything can happen. Actually, can we just nail it down
that something something might not happen? Please? Which would be fun? Now, Alex,
we need today's morning mantra. So yes, Patsy had it

(03:14):
and it was be the reason someone smiles today and
I found it on on Tuesday. The reason why we're
doing this morning mantra is come to a Tuesday written
chalk on the wall of this radio station. Someone has
just written be the best part of somebody else's day.
And so now I'm thinking, let's try and do this
every day. Have a good intention in the morning Alex

(03:34):
would have you brought in.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Well, it's one I have lived by for a lot
of my life, and that is control. The controllables or
the uncontrollables will control you. In other words, control the
things that you have the power of controlling. So don't
worry about the things you can't control, the controllables, exactly right.

(03:57):
So otherwise if you don't, if it's really so, have
a little think about it, to sit back and go, yeah, okay,
well you need to.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Think about it. What you said, you couldn't get it
right second time around. Why are you controlling? He's on
control in the controller.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Just simplified down to control what you can control. Don't
worry about the other stuff. So when my dad was
diagnosed with brain cancer, that was something I couldn't control.
That was something that I had no power of. I
just had to accept that what I could control was
how I responded to it and how I could be
there for him, be there for my family, and I

(04:37):
guess be there for all those people that were going
through a really really hard time earlier this year with
what happened with Channel nine and the fallout from that.
I couldn't control what they were doing, but I could
control what I was doing, and that was being the
best person I could be for my family and keeping fit,

(04:58):
meditating and going out there and finding work again, putting
one foot in front of the other, and controlling what
I could control, not worrying about the other stuff. So
I guess this morning's lesson is, don't worry about the
other stuff, don't sweat the small stuff, and just do
what you can do and control what you can control.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I love that, Thanks very much, Alex the Christian O'Connell
Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
In Today's Uber Driver, right, because I get an Uber
in the morning, sometimes I might get a driver's picked
me up before, okay, And an Uber driver last week
told me, he said, by the way uber drivers know
that you're a regular. They park up. There's about seven
Uber drivers around the corner a few mile house. What

(05:43):
he goes, look now there's school around the corner. There
was a fleet of Uber drivers, several he goes, they
know well because he goes. The reason why he said,
I was doing an airport pick up the day and
someone had to go at me. He said, you pick
up Christian, I've been doing him for longer. Stop. Yeah, anyway,

(06:06):
today's guy he last picked me up a couple of
years ago, right, and I ran straight away. Yeah, he's
half the size. He's lost why. I said, hey, bliyy,
and he goes, yeah, yeah, I'm finally mortgage free. His
mortgage free. He's paid his mortgage off, right, and he's
out of the corporate world. And I closed my eyes
and try to imagine what that would be like. And

(06:26):
I thought of myself as a kid, free wheeling down
this big hill that used to be dumb, well wasn't peddling,
and my arms are outstretched, free as a bird. And
then suddenly we actually went and that's not a life
ahead view. Well, then one get free, tet free free.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
And he's just driving around Melbourne. Yes, that could be you.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
One day. He's up early in the morning. Yeah, starts
at four am, he said. He just likes still having
something to do. He does it two or three days
a week, depending on how it feels about it. But
like the fact he still does something. You're getting up
at four am, and that that's the guy that still
needs human connection what we all do. But my point
is if you close your eyes and this is I

(07:07):
think as it was to worries, this is how you
know if you're an adult. If you close your eyes
and someone says to you, imagine being debt free. If
that creates space in your body, you're an adult. If
you're a child that they wouldn't know what you meant.
Were even an immature adult that doesn't yet have debt.
You're now inheriting debt with a mortgage.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
You asked me this one week ago, I would have
been like, I don't know what that's like.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Now it weighs heavy.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Are you free wheeling down s Catherine's Hill on a tandem?

Speaker 7 (07:40):
I am tumbling down raising my elbows. Oh my lord,
that must be nice.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Actually was annoyed that he told me.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
In your face.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
The two of us are in the same car together
and we're going on the same journey, but we get
out and have very different pass ahead of us.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
The Christian o'connall show.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Podcast, none of us really enjoy going to the dentist.
Oh god, no, it's vital, it's important, but none of
us actively look forward to or enjoy it. I speak
as somebody. This week we were having a team meeting
after show, and then producer Kate and goes, oh, your
wife has just messaged me and I'm like, what. My

(08:28):
wife has all of your numbers, right, and she knows
if I don't respond to messages, she will pull the
power play, which will start pinging you lot, tell me
to pick up my phone, and normally that's reserved, says,
will only do that if it is actually love or death. Monday,
it was about how Chris, that's what she goes by

(08:49):
the way, tow Chris, he's got a tender appointment. He
hasn't done the old reply one to confirm. Yeah, yeah,
however I won. Ultimately I moved it till next week.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
With that one.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Just still got some play. However, someone in this conversation
hasn't been to a dentist in six years, Alex.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Six long years.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
First of all, free range shocking, and you've been on
You've been on TV with the shiniest fines on TV,
Carl Stefanovich, have you got there with six years?

Speaker 6 (09:36):
I'm a diligent flosser.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
He's when you floss a couple of days before you
go and see the dentists. That's only going next Tuesday,
I guess. So I've started flossing. It's back in. It's
like planking and the ice bocket challenge.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
I floss at least once a day, sometimes twice a day.
Get out of it. Don't believe you makes the difference.
And I went to the dentist yesterday, as you say,
for the first time in six years, and they were
pretty impressed.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I got to say, did they insist because obviously so
you're a new client, very new client. So do they
insist on doing the X ray? Yes?

Speaker 6 (10:12):
They did.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's the instant. There's a holiday, there's the
stinging for the X ray.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
They may or may not have sold me the invisile line.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
That's very expensive.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
Yeah, between five and ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, in six years, they're going to make their money
out of you. They literally now wonder They're like, oh yeah, yeah,
we're really impressed that what we can earn from you.
So the X ray three hundred bucks just to have
a look, if there's any other way we can have
a look around, not just the invisible teeth, but the
invisible bits and the rout work. We don't worry about that,
no one can see it. And then in visi.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Line, Yeah, braces at your age.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, he feels like the sort of thing a school
buddy used to say a train track.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Face they move, Mickey, your teeth have moved.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, all of our teeth move overnight.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, I had no idea.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Do they do they go?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Where do they go?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Where they too? What are they doing?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Actually a good question?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Where? But they did make me feel a little bit
better because I felt a bit embarrassed. I said, Oh, oh,
I haven't been in six years.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Oh, don't worry, don't worry. We're going to go after you.
K Kachin.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
He said to me, We've had people in there that
in here that haven't been the dentist in twenty years.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Coloro fans.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Twenty years years? Oh, come on, just say that to
make me feel better. Or have they really not been
in twenty years?

Speaker 7 (11:43):
It is surprising for especially like someone in TV. Yes,
six years, aren't the This is like your money maker?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Like them?

Speaker 5 (11:51):
How do you get away?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're up to date.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
It's lots of flossing. But like kids, kids have meant
that I just haven't had time to get to the
dentists really, and I haven't. That's that's the truth of it.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
So what are are you going to do in visually? Well?

Speaker 6 (12:03):
No, I got home and I said to Bunny I'm like, hey,
and she's like, what's good of cost? Well, between five
and teen grand No, No, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
That is every married conversation. My wife in Visiline, the
two girls in Visiline. You guess you didn't do me
because I like too much. The anyone who's on screen here,
what are students need?

Speaker 6 (12:23):
They've got great teeth.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, they got young in his teeth, the teeth in
the world.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
A couple of days ago, we had a great call
from somebody who used to work at Harrod's, most famous
department stores in the world in London, and Princess Dana
was in and causing a and this is the coolest words,
not mine, a kerfuffle on the third floor. And I
love the word kerfuffle. And then my ears picked up.
I heard Patsy saying the news.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
Just now, a kerfuffle within the coalition.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Kafuffles can break out anywhere in Harrod's in the It
was in the children's Stide department as well. Princess Diana
was causing a kerfuffle trying to return.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
Something there fall within the coalition.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's happening in the coalition. That is a perfect storm.
By the way, coalitions, isn't it for kerfuffles?

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Great place.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
So kerfuffle a mild disturbance, Well, no, which is more severe?
Which is milder? Is brew haha? Lower down on what
I call the ladder of escalation.

Speaker 7 (13:29):
I would definitely have it brew haha above a kerfuffle.
A kerfuffle, you're right, like a mild disturbance.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
There's a bit of You can think of Benny Hill
music when you think of kerfuffle.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yes, the word itself, the word itself is an innocent,
fluffy word. Even kerfuffle almost like a fluff to it.
For kerfuffle, Milley go, I think that's high at the top. Well,
that's actually your domain. I think that you could easily
have malay in a sporting environment when the players are fighting, yes, halftime,
so you think about the most extreme form of team fighting.

(14:01):
Isn't the old shirt pulling and pushing, which AFL players
do a lot. It's the lamest thing. Yes, you saw
it last last week was like are you either fighting
or you're not. There's a lot of that, but nothing happened.
When I first saw it was, oh my god. The
Empires do anything because it's just that shirty.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
It's a bit of tugging.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Shirt ice hockey, though shirt goes over the head. I
suppose they don't train for that move.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Shirt over the head.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
And then a couple of that is that's a melie.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
That's why, and the references let them go.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Exactly would you want to break them up? Your massive
apes punching each other on ice skates with those big
boxing gloves.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
They take the helmets off and everyone clears.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
It will go on for like a minute. And I
noticed that they scrout each other like throwing hooks and everything.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
That's a brew.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Ha, No, that's a melie.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
One on one.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
I would say, a malie, you need at least three
or four people, you kin'd have a malie mellow melle.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
French.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I don't think that's I don't think that's an English
derivative world. I think it's the same with contretemp French.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
It is French.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I knew it was.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
But a meloe is like an old fashioned stacks on.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
A polite way is another great one.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
Yes, no one's getting seriously heard. It's just a punch on.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's fisticuffs. Does that even mean fisticuffs. What's the cuffing?

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Just back then, there is that where you're pushing back
your cuffs of use you.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
It was I bet you're right back when when you
would roll up the gentleman's.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Were on, or you're in a country pub and you're like, oh,
there's a blue on.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
The one I I did love when I moved to
this Country's punch ont that no, I don't have in
the UK. Took me to realize what it was, but
it's quite easy to guess as a punch. And it's
on somebody with brown snake, carpet snake, tasty cheese. It's

(16:19):
that children name things in Australia. It's that snake called
brown snake. Yeah, because it's brown one. It's in carpets,
carpet snake. Right, okay, what's that nice cheese called tasty cheese? Alright? Okay?
All right? So we had to try and plot the
ladder of escalation. What's the most extreme version, what's got

(16:40):
the most energy, what's the most violent?

Speaker 7 (16:42):
Do you reckon malay? But what about pandemonium? Does pandemonium
go below?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
But you wouldn't say that about a fight it's more verbal.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
Yeah, more like a Black Friday sale, like trampling or
something like yes, that's pandemo.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yes, okay, or probably it's called pando here.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
So the top, we're doing one at the top hubbub.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
There's a hubbub going on.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's the most mild form hubbub, and then it goes
up to brew. Haha. What about another one of my
favorite onesraka?

Speaker 6 (17:22):
That's second to me, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, it sounds aggressive, doesn't even to say fraka today
French again, yes, and which is odd because they avoid
violence and it will cost actively flee it. Yes, that's
probably why they have more words about this kind of
stuff than anything counts. All right, So what ones are
we missing on our ladder of escalation? So real? How

(17:46):
does it work a moment going from the least mild
form of a disturbance, We've.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
Got hubbub, then kerfuffle, then brew haha, getting.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
See I think kerfuffle is above brew haha. Yeah, we
actually have. I just Rio was using. It's the only
use of it this year. We're supposed to use it
to plan the show. We have a giant white board
in the studio which is used the first time in
twenty twenty five to plot my Ladder of escalation.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
Fromfuffle pandemonium, raka and then Mela.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Why have you got to decide? Hella blue? Is that out?

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Hulla blo? I'm not sure where it goes? What's a
hullab hang on?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I've seen the other bomb there not plotted ruckus?

Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yes, bring the ruckus?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I think ruckus? Is this too? That's w w yes, yeah,
the shirt pudding. There's nothing going to happen here. That's
a ruckus and a who ha who.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Has pretty low I'm going a bit of a who
ha Yeah, yes, verbal yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Christian O'Connell Show. We're trying to plot for once and
for all the ladder of escalation. When does it go
from a mild disturbance and suddenly before you your very eyes,
there's a deadly kerfuffle. Name of a book, by the way,
I just realized by the comedian Tony and very very funny.
But it's called deadly kerfuffle. Such a great, very Tony

(19:14):
Martin esque phrase, that deadly kerfuffle. They don't belong together.
There's something deadly about a kerfuffle. Was it? Kafuffle was
in passies news today?

Speaker 8 (19:22):
A kafuffle within the coalition?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
One of you mentioned it today. This week on the
show to do with the store about the late Princess Dinah.

Speaker 9 (19:30):
There was a big kerfuffle on the third floor. Context
back in the day, I worked in hers, I lived
in London, and I was in the customer complaints department
and there was a big kafuffle on the third floor,
which was where the toys were, and it was Princess
Diana and I stood next door to her and she
bought a big tedvy bear for Harry and a train
set for William.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I never found out whether she was causing the kafuffle.
Who Yes, we're never going to know, really are we nice?
So many great unanswered questions about Diana, and one of
the biggest ones is about the kerfuffle on the third floor. Yes,
she got the teddy bear, but why were you up
there causing a kafuffle in the first place. So this
week on the show, it's kerfuffle week.

Speaker 8 (20:10):
Kerfuffle within the Coalition.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Christian, where does Shnanigan's go? Shangans isn't on the land
of escimation. That's more mucking around.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yes, that's a horse play ladder.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, that's horse that's tom foolery, yes, yeah, yes, yeah, Christian?
What about what about skull duggery? That's more, that's the
ladder of Macavelian activities. Skullduggery? Is it? I've never said

(20:41):
that word. I've read it so many times. I've always
I hope wonder I'm in a Macavelian situation where I
need to say anyone else for the whiff of Macavelian activities?
Right now? Wasn't he a person?

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Yes, yes, I wrote a book.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Wasn't he a political strategist?

Speaker 6 (20:58):
An evil one?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah? Evil? Down with Maavell? Apparently right now we're talking
about the ladder of a scalation. So at the moment, rio,
how is it going from mild to the most severe?
All right?

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Right at the bottom we've got a whu ha. Then
you move up towards a.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Hubbub hubbub sorry, aw haha, a kerfuffle, a pandemonium frakka,
and then we end with a melea.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
A lot of people want to know where we are
on argie bargie great great? And you know what is
these some of these words aren't going to last many
more generations. You don't hear a lot of the TikTok generation.
So I've got a great video here. It's an argie bargie.
Are there any reals for archie bargies? Where's argie bargie?

(21:46):
That's quite an energy in that.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Bit of argie bargie. I would say that's push and shove.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Front. What's what's it short for? So argument? Obviously the
argie bit? What's the bar that bar argument? A argument
about barge?

Speaker 6 (22:04):
Yeah, you're barge into them, Christian?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
What about spitting the dummy? That is the kind of
four minute warning spat the dummy out that person is
about to blow their stack? All right, let's take some
let's take some calls here, Will, good morning, good Christian,
how are you mate? Yeah, we're good, so important business.
Will thank you very much for being part of the

how it all starts, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Or Australian Australian language, it's a banni's having a barney.

Speaker 1 (22:42):

suitcases out of each other.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
There's so much shre. I've never heard.

Speaker 10 (23:46):
Top of the list, no doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Now listen tell me this, Lee, I've never heard the
phrase belting. There's there's a stronger version of that. Belting
the yes out of each other, Belting the suitcases out
of each other is a more radio friendly PG version
I thought so, yeah, thank you for doing that. Show

belting suitcases out of each other. But donning Brook, you're right,

(24:08):
so bub and a physical altercation.

Speaker 10 (24:10):
Yeah, bodies everywhere is absolutely honest.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's true with bodies. It's yeah, that's a good phrase,
Donny Brook. Yeah, old timey one. It's a very old timing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we need to bring it back. Maybe we need to
rename the show The Morning Donny Brook. That's alive, the
old hangout.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Christian what about a stooche another Yeah, yeah, yeah, what
is that?

Speaker 5 (24:45):
It's two mild Yeah, into a stash.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
I would say, it's more like you and your partner
would get into a verbal stud right.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's more verbal. Yeah, all right, Today we're talking about
the ladder of escalation. Where is kafuffle in Patsy's News
a half seats this morning, a political kerfuffle.

Speaker 8 (25:05):
A kerfuffle within the coalition.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Not the only mention of kafuffle this week.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
There was a big kerfuffle on the third floor.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Watch kafuff on the third floor, Murder on the dance
floor on the third floor, alright, real, what have we
got so far? All right?

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Going from least serious to most serious, we start with
poo ha yep, Barnie hubbub brew haha, kerfuffle, pandemonium, frakka fracas, frakkaka.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Mela oh and donny Brook right at the top.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah yeah, now you just found out. Then what is
the origin of the word donny Brook? Obviously a suburb
here and it's a altercation as well, but the origin
is an Australian.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Though, no, it's from Dublin.

Speaker 7 (25:48):
It comes from the donny Brook Fair, held near Dumblin
in medieval times. The fair was infamous for whiskey fueled
chaos and fight.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I've never been to an Irish wedding where it hasn't
been a fight between family members. Yeah no, no, yeah, yes,
emotions and whiskey runs high and guinness. Yeah, so, I
asked Rio. So we genuinely have on the white board
in the studio here for the first time this year
has been used and we've got poster notes potting the

(26:17):
ladder of escalation going from who had the bottom to
malay at the top at slash Donnybrook, I said Toria Ticke.
A photo this feed it into the smartish language learning
machine in the world. Chat GPT ask it what does
it think?

Speaker 5 (26:34):
All right?

Speaker 7 (26:34):
Firstly, it said pandemonium leans more towards chaotic uproar than conflict,
so it actually take pandemonium off the board altogether.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't the fact that chat GPT has has a
take on this. This is important. I know about this stuff.
I've been fed it. It's by human masters. Fair enough
to mild.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
It agrees who ha is the lowest. It then would
flip hubbub and brew haha. So it wants to go
who ha Hubbub brew haha, Kerfuffle.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Then Barney, which we've got second, wants to put in
the middle.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Really yes, above Kafuffle, Barnie above Kerfuffle. Yes, said about
a bluey, same thing.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
A blue I haven't put bluey in, but it's got
a fraka, then a biff, then a melee, then a Donnybrook.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
So it agrees mostly with it. It's just Hubbub and Barney.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Okay, all right, that's that for now. All right, we're
going to do small Thing, Big Joy. We do this
once a week on a show. It's the counter bart
to small Thing, Big Rate, Small Thing, Big joy, small,
big joy? What tiny thing gives you so much joy? Patsy?
What's it for you?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Well?

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Very simple for me turning up to work these mornings
and the birds song, birds song is beautiful so much
so that I record it and I thank them in
the mornings when I get out of the car, I say, hello,
little birdie, you're so pretty today. Thank you for your
bird song. Have a nice day. And then I also
love at the other end of the day where it's

(28:09):
still daylighted five fifty years.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I love a Patsy recording that.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
That's what I recorded this morning.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
That's that's that's not quite a song, that's just is
that always beautiful?

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Isn't it beautiful?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
That is beautiful? That is dorm chorus.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
I'd love to hear you talking to them though.

were warning, you know, an hour ago that she's a
bit tired. Today suddenly she's chancellor birds, Okay, why don't

The seasons are changing. Yeah, is that that's more light
for longer? Yes, doesn't it energize you, or we energize
you in the evening. It does a gift.

going to be daylight saying even longer.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
What is it though? It sits up there doing it
all day? Well, if it's a mating, call that guy

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Top of it.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
You want melting into the bread and.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
The days on. So it's just all lathered and big
with crisp crisp.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
The lads have to be defined like, I don't like
the merging into one. There's got to be the butter.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
I'm surrounded.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
No, no, you've not lived until he tried cold toast.
It was a result of boarding school. When you're on
toast duty, you'd always get the cold toast.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's it. I've got friends of mine that went through
that toasting each other. Put them in the toast rack
and all the games just get up to in those beds.
I don't like to talk about it. The big lads
were coming fast of them, both sides. Excuse me, excuse me, sir. Anyway,
cold toast, small thing, big joy? All right? What is

(31:10):
your small thing? Big joy? Are there any other cold
toast lovers At the moment the only people in the
club are me, and Addix.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Christian O'Connell podcast.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yes we are a minority, but our numbers count. Some
of you are also joining me and Addix in the
cold toast club. Yes, try, it's so good, absolutely fat.
I don't know why it's nice feeding it when it's
ice cold, but we're just out. They're not out of
the toaster, out of the freezer.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Would you do it with just raw bread?

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Like?

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Would you go bread?

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Untoasted bread into the freezer or has to be toasted

Toasted, freezer out the freezer, then cold crisp unmelted butter.
It's rio. You won't go back. Okay, you won't go back.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
I'm skeptical, but no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Chris and I also love cold toast and also based
it in the free He said to have a cool
down quicker. That's all mirror. Someone else said they make
a teepee in the morning, or they're two pieces of
toast to help it cool down quicker.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
We don't want to resting on the frozen peasts. It's
gotta be touching.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
These else the toast tepee.

Speaker 6 (32:26):

that one.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
We're doing small thing, big joy Christian small thing, big
joy getting the showbag guide, spending hours poring over them,
deciding what I'll get as kids were only allowed to.

a bird word, and it's a It's an Australian bird

(33:11):

like Morse code dot dot, and then it's just I
could be could be a curral. Well, we've got some
sound effects based on what listeners are suggesting. It's God
out the secret sound. It's the secret bird. This isn't it.

(33:35):
I do love the sound of the car wong. That's great.
It's not this the wattle birds not a minor bird.
It's not a whip bird. I love that sound. I
love that one. That is quintessential Australia. Could be in

(33:57):
the Daintree Forest. Love that. This is the sound of madness.
Trina Jones got all the show today. Where are you?
It sounds like you're in the Niagara Falls. Actually he
just parked up on the west gate, got out and
held your phone up in the air. How is there
so much background noise at.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
The front at the front door.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
It's the area of that Patsy has a round.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
It's every time you record something pat like if you're
at a concert. Somehow it sounds ten.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Mean. Let's get the chewy leaf the tapes out. Christian,
where do you stand on cold roast potatoes? Love them?
We still have the big sort of Sunday roaster canes
you during the winter, right, and I will wait, I'll
clear the plate and if you've left some roast potatoes,
I'll have the cold That to me is desserved.

Speaker 6 (34:47):
It's so crump, perfect lowry.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
What about what about the next day though, Alex, I

Speaker 3 (35:07):

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Small Thing, Big Joy, Joel Piercing the tinfoil of Anes
Cafe and get the smell of coffee, the waft, the
aroma hitting you. Christian, there's some jack when there's just
amount of right amount of milk for the coffee, saving
you needing to open a new one. Right, there's one

(35:33):
Christian McDonald's give me a free cooker, cooker free cookie.
When I ordered a hot beverage at the drive through

me of cold leftovers is snags? Cold snacks are great?

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Yes, I will agree on cold snacks, Yes, yes, Christian.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
The bird that you're doing the impression of, I don't
know what the bird is, but it's exactly the same
as a bird that I threw a shoe at thirty
years ago that used to live at my mom and
dad's place in the tree. The shoe is still in
the tree to this day. Bird And it goes like this,

(36:11):
uh uh, what is that? It's not a wattle bird, Christian?
Is it the bird from the movie Up? No? Is
it a drong go? I don't believe that's a bird
so extt Is it a butcher bird? Never heard of that?
I don't know, But it's a very common Australian one.

(36:33):
But what is it?

Speaker 7 (36:34):
Yes, now I've got an app. It's like a Shazam
for bird.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
It's called I used to have this There's a Bird Love.
I had it for about five years. I've never used
it once and it was like thirty bucks a year.
So I just you know where you would actually have
these things just running And my wife was like, what
is this with You're paying Merlin, the mythical Merlin, the
King Arthur Pendragon story. So oh no, that's a bird
sporting app. She was like, wait, I'm married to a
guy who has it app for even never. You know

(36:59):
it's gonna go. I've never used it, but now I
need it. What does it say?

Speaker 11 (37:03):
It is?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Now?

Speaker 5 (37:04):
I need you to do it live into the phone.
So I'm going to come around.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
I'm around, I will prepare myself right. I wants more? Please? Ah?
Is that? What is that? Bird?

Speaker 6 (37:20):
I thought there's one in here, but what is it?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
It's a very Australian bird, isn't it. You've heard this one?

Speaker 6 (37:26):
It starts.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
It starts at about five am, the morning bird. It's
a morning it could literally in fact, I know it starts.
It wakes up later than we do, because I know
if I ever hear it, I'm not going to get
it's your alarm clock.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Yeah yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
It's a backup. Now what is Merlin saying?

Speaker 7 (37:44):
It says, sorry, cannot identify morning.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Now, it's not a dove. It's not a pigeon. No, no, no,
it's rarer than that, but common. It's rare and common.
What is this bird that goes? You hear it every morning?

Speaker 6 (38:07):
Hiding in plans.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
It is driving me and judging my the many many
texts are coming in now I'm passing it on to
every poor innocent listener who's now going is it a dove?
Yesterday my wife and I feel our dinner. We had
chicken tie balls. One the was left over, and as

(38:30):
a wife, I'll take that into work today. Right, So
it's in the fridge here cooling nicely to have a
cold chicken tie flavored ball. My wife goes, I'm sure
someone else went the fridge went. No other human being.
I wouldn't want this. This is unstealable. Sometimes you know,
other people do help them sells a certain food and

(38:51):
I accident accidently ate someone's sandwich here left ten bucks
to them to buy a new one. I found it
so bad. It was a lot better. It's an upgrade
than the one I brought. But no one is going
into that work fridge and taking my What is this
a low chicken woll in tupper weather? There's a dry one,
just cutting half like a madman's snack, mad man ready

(39:15):
cold and raw dog in it for what sort of.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Meal do you think? Is that your lunch? Or is
that morning tea?

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Or that's nine am?

Speaker 4 (39:23):
Turned me up.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Rotine power punch. Yes, now he used to show we
had an email and to be back to school. And
I don't know if this they even stilled to this now?
But do you remember when there used to be a
class pet terrible idea, and then young psychos were allowed
to look after over the weekend and hilarity did not
ensue Normally that thing was lost or worse than that

(39:46):
perished over the weekend. But it used to be a
well known thing, didn't it? A class would have you know?
It'd be something like a guinea pig. Did you guys
ever get to look after it? I was never trusted
with it.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Yeah, we had mice in year seven lucky parents. For science,
we had to do mice. We had these white mice
and we looked after it was for the whole year,
and we had.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
About last of simpletons.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
Whole year.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Must have been a bunch of thickies that could like,
oh we got a special thing and just grab that.
Probably a rat, Actually that was just a big ass.
Oh no, no, that's Marsel the mouse, big thick tail,
foot long rodent.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
They lived in this big sort of kind of house
outhouse off the science wing at high school, and it's stank.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Do you remember the year You're right, the science room
or the science bo had that little outhouse where they
would conduct weird experiments in there, probably for nefarious governmental agencies.
I thought, you know, they're up to they're up to
shnanigans in the skullduggery is one went on with those
mice in there.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
More than just our teaching.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Mister Novak used to go in there and have a
durry at lunchtime and have a cigarette in amongst the smell.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
All the all the teachers right in the eighties all smoked. Jimmy,
you bore past our teacher's room. They had that room
where they were just crying there and shrink heavily. And
also they didn't like you. We used to always like
walk pie and just stare at the mic, and they
used to go berserk, like bang the window, stop looking again.
They just needed that break. And it was like thick

(41:27):
with and also not just cigarette smoke, like full task cigarettes. Pipes.
There's no teachers now smoking pipes, but they were like,
especially the older teachers, like history teachers.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
It was always the history teacher had a pipe, big
old thick pipe. Yeah, just like.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Big old stoney there. Yeah, our one, right, I used
to smoke a pipe during class, so we do Wilson.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
To make a salient point.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
It would take it out and points the mouth and
I don't see me afterwards chewing on that billows cancer
ST's out of.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
The pipe between their teeth.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Yeah, we had mice.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
What did you have?

Speaker 12 (42:17):
We didn't go We didn't have any because being in
each other around the old pet there again in the
dorms town, being in the country, I don't think they
really trusted it a class pit.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
No, we didn't have any. We had lots of snakes
in the in the in the school.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
We were talking about the other day to take a
pet snake open, especially brown.

Speaker 6 (42:41):
Look at this snake. At school, probably I reckon once
a month at least, but no, we never had a pet.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Did you ever get taken back? Imagine you were a
prefect like Patsy.

Speaker 5 (42:51):
I think the pets were. I mean I was school
vice captain.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
But debate captain yet.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
But I think it was getting phased out.

Speaker 7 (43:01):
I'd love to know if people still do it, because
we didn't have any pets by the time I was
at school.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
You weren't, just didn't.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
You can't imagine it's allowed to do now. It seems
crazy and rightly so. Animals have rights, and one of
them is young psychos aka kids don't look after us
at the weekend. People that can't look after themselves entrusted
with a school pet is a terrible idea.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Thinking You Back to School? Two more wmen. We used
to have class pets, an actual animal and then wait
for it. The kicker is we were allowed to take
it home. So I remember actually sometimes during the summer holidays,
someone would have it for a couple of weeks, and
that you never saw that animal ever again.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
It was ding rolled up like, hey, why there is
that rabbit.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
By the way, they weren't even asked the school were like,
and that's the end of that problem there, because one
of the old thickies has got it, you know, like
from and many Lenny, we've got a real life Lenny, I.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
Don't hurt a rabbit.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Belinda's on the line, Blenda, you were teacher.

Speaker 9 (44:09):
Yes I am. I'm a primary school teacher.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Great, Just so we're looking for this morning. So do
you still have class pets?

Speaker 11 (44:15):
No?

Speaker 9 (44:15):
Up until five oh, excuse me, Up until five years ago,
I had four blue tongue lizards and quite a lot
of spiny leaf stick insects, right right, all.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Right, And so there's no more of this anymore. Kids
getting to look after over the weekend.

Speaker 9 (44:33):
Well, they used to feed them during class and take
them out. They'd stick the spiny leaf stick insects on
their pencil cases or they call up their arms on
their heads, and when the stick insects multiplied, they would
be able to take them home and pet them. Right,
because when they multiplied, you'd get hundreds.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
I guess they's some of the rabbits as well. Linda,
Thank you very much, and cool, have a good day.

Speaker 9 (44:59):
You two buye now.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Tell me about Sean Dooley. You've got very excited just now. Yes,
is making a cup of tea. It came back in
the studio and the rio producer was very excited. Who
is Sean Doody.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
This is the Sean Dooley. He's the chief bird nerd
of Australia. Yes, and he used to have a segment
I believe called Squawkback on ABC Radio.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Bring it Back, Bring it Back, Sean. Just a man,
I need to speak to Sean. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 11 (45:25):
Thank you Christians.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
So you're a fellow bird lover. You an ornithologist?

Speaker 11 (45:30):
No, no, but i am. I work with BirdLife Australia
who run the Aussie Bird Count every year, which is
just about to kick off in October. So I'm under
bridge between the bird nerds and the general public.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
You're a translator, yes, right, I gotcha.

Speaker 11 (45:46):
I speak bird and.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Love it Sean. What is the bird Count then? What
is that?

Speaker 11 (45:54):
Yeah, it's a thing we do a BirdLife Australia every
year where we get people to count the download the
bird Count app and count birds in their backyard.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Oh my god, we got we're talking okay, the listeners
to do this.

Speaker 11 (46:08):
Yeah, Yeah, we'd love it because it feels in a
huge gap of knowledge for us at BirdLife because we
don't know enough about our common birds. We focus generally
on rare birds, and so this really helps. But also
it means that people can work out what the hell
it is it's making that noise in.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
That that's me. That's me today, Shawn, You're just right.

Speaker 11 (46:27):
I need this app I do.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
What's the app? Because I know there's probably a lot
of people listening that fancy doing this and if you've
got kids and family, what a great thing to do
teaching about the ones of the natural world. What's the app?

Speaker 11 (46:38):
Yeah, it's called the Ossie Bird Count App and it's
the registrations have just open so you can download it,
but you can't count until October. But there's a little
feature on the app which you can put the details
of the bird you see, like its size, shape and color,
and it'll give you some suggestions with photos of what
that bird might actually be that's driving your nuts in

(46:59):
your backyard.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Yeah, this is me right now? Then? What blow Sean
is this? It's three parts to it. It's all day long,
twenty four seven. It goes to work at about five
thirty am. What is that shown.

Speaker 11 (47:17):
Uncanny? Is your just what your impersonation is? I think
with the tonia using I reckon it's actually a pied curreler,
which is like a member of the magpie family, but
it's a bit bigger with a yellow eye and much
more black. And they people who've been to the snow

(47:38):
would know it because it used to sort of only
be up in the mountains, but they've migrated into the
cities in like Sydney in the eighties and nineties, then
Melbourne in the last twenty years. And I reckon that
that might that might be the call. It's giving a
it's quite a loud one and.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Yeah, really really, i'd say loud, splash irritating. You can't
sleep in at the weekend that thing is up there
at like five thirty m. It's like, get up and
you can't turn that. You know, some bird noises you
turn them off, you can kind of like jack.

Speaker 6 (48:13):
And so it's a pied.

Speaker 11 (48:14):
Corawng yes, yeah, black and white one.

Speaker 13 (48:17):
So are there different types of krawan, Yeah, there's a
there's a gray carawong, but that's much more found out
in the bush, right, and so you get it on
like on the fringes of Melbourne and sort.

Speaker 11 (48:29):
Of Geelong and places like that, but it's not really
in the suburbs much. There's another one named Tezzi called
the Black Carawong, which is the biggest of the lot.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
It would be over there. Yeah, now, Sean, this has
been a really really enjoyable chat my friend. Now I've
got your number. I know we are so we can
start counting the birds in the backyard in October and
it's Aussie Bird count is the app. That's it. Great
