at our local cinema.

Where you so, where you live, is it still on real?
To real?

Speaker 6 (02:18):
It's black and white still?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Every wherever you are in Australia, everyone has got one
of these places where they're a little bit fair and
out there. It's still wild West. They're still using horse
and car. They don't like the moon. They throw rocks
at cars and you drive through.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
Sticks at it.

Huge argument over Christmas. Because I wanted to go and

oh my god, what oh And I'm like, sorry, what
Apparently that the books have success, you cannot be giving
Sydney Swingey your money, getting my money, getting her venom account.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
They loved it.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
But they had this special promotion where kids could take
their own containers from home. They had this cardboard cutout. Right,
if it fitted through a certain space in this cardboard
cutout of their container, they could take that much popcorn.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Like I said, where Patsy.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
This new thing called popcorn? Anyway, there were kids there
with grandparents with twenty liter tubs plastic. I'm serious, Come
on pat serious and they were just filling them to be.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I felt swear like your nosebag threw that much pop.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
It was crazy, and I felt so sorry for this
stuff because you know, at the end of a movie
it's already trashed anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
The place where it's okay, just a trash like that,
why is that okay? And then to walk out yeah,
and then just go you clear this up?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, what heart would it just to put in
little bins or something?

Speaker 4 (04:26):
It was just it was crazy. Twenty liter tubs was
the biggest one I saw, thankfully not my daughter and
her mate, but well the boys were like.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Oh god, control, yes, what container did audit take?

Speaker 4 (04:44):
She just bought one. We didn't know that we're doing
this promotion, so she bought like just you know, a
medium one with a coke.

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
How did you start the week yesterday? Let us know?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Would you say you're a Monday winner or loser? Text
us four seven five three one oh four three. Good
morning to Craig Walter. Morning Craig, thanks for joining us
this morning. Christian definitely a Monday loser. Got badly sunburn
on holiday in Queensland over the weekend. The blisters a
start bursting. We don't need the update on the bloody hell. Guys,

(05:39):
come on, bunge your ps and q's on this show.
Let's catch little sports guy Alex.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Alex. How was your day yesterday?

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh? Pretty good?

Speaker 8 (05:47):
Thank you, Kristen. And I'm gonna call myself a winner.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
Anna Luis a winner because I'm mopped the floor for
the first time yesterday since moving to Melbourne from Sydney.
That's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
You've got young children who are live on the floor,
but look in here and sort of seven months it's.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
Been mopped in that time. Just not my my me
on the staff.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
The Channel seven clean is coming up, the help, no
can you clean this? Please be spoken about this.

Speaker 9 (06:23):
But what I didn't do was was vacuumed properly before my.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Crucial otherwise tried past a rogue pee.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Yes, so much of it was spent mopping up those
bits that I should have vacuum in the first place,
and a lot of that stuff getting caught in the mop,
and a very very.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Of the mop the tendrils.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
Dare I say, I still have that old school mop
that's like the octopus and around the ground.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Was using it Sunday.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Really, I honestly, if I'm ever feeling anxious, I start
to mop.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
My wife and kids are like, what's going on with dad?
And a national show?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
And clearing up? Just mopping.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
I know it all progressed onto the steam. I love
that school.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I'll tell you what as well, I use way
too much, so I use two different types of liquids
in there. The house smells like an operating theater. It's
just pino, right, half a liter in every and then
some jetsole as well medical grade disinfectant.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm buying you you're coming home with me.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Why would you need medical grade?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Because I just.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Think if it's good enough an ot, then it's good
enough for me.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Smell like a veterinary off, Swiss out, you're in my kitchen.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
I would argue, it's the king of the household chores.
I agree up there with cleaning the oven. I don't
know which is first, though, maybe the oven cleaning films first.
Then the mopping of the floor comes. Cleaning in the
oven is a night man. I just put the mop
in there, turn the oven on. I'm sure that's the
best way to click it. Just get that mop and

(08:04):
ram it in close corners. Yes, I like that, still
wait forward.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
The other thing that's incredibly strangely enjoyable about mopping is
I'll go clear, I'm mopped everywhere, and then my wife
has to go, honey, buckets you get through. I go,
it's a seven bucket to keep. You can't do one
bucket because I surprise how much filth accumulates.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
You know, I did four.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I did four. Yeah, you know buckets, Yeah, you know.
And also there's so much joy when you empty it
out and you have a look in. You know, sometimes
you know a number two, you stand up and you
have a good one. It's a damn good one.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
Actually it felt good.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, it looks good. That crimped off easy anyway, The
joy of mopping. That's what it's the tell of my
next book. Actually, it's the joy of mopping is I
find it's like a zen like kind of mindfulness thing
for me. Sick a podcast on work your rain around
there and then you actually what you get is a
sense of pride when you look back, had that sparkling

(09:04):
clean floor.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
You need, I know, need an exclusion zone because inevitably,
whenever you go to mop, someone has to walk across
the floor before it's not dry.

Speaker 8 (09:15):
I hate that.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
So I wait for the family to go out and
I think, right, I'll mop the floor because no one
will work.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yeah, you trap yourself because if you mop wondering you.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Could always always got to have your exit points.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
Have a towel is a good way of getting across. Yeah, yeah, there's.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
One who see not the CSI shows where they put
those things over their shoes. Yes, texts cuddly got on
Amazon delivery. He's thinking of detto and you're wearing a
murderer shoes.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You just signed for that.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Actually.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
The Christian o'connall show podcast, This is.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
The Christian O'Connell show. Now, I don't know in the
morning whether you're a caffeine drinker, or like me, you're
a tea drinker. But we've been on like a lot
of Australian radio shows on a break for just a
short one in Australian radio, just a cheek it four
weeks and these mugs haven't been cleaned in four weeks.
I'm drinking that tea and I'm drinking. I think I'm

(10:14):
gonna be it's I think I'm to become a super sproder.
That ain't right.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, no, the drink is talking to me.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
There's something from Stranger Things bonus episode of What's in
this mug?

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah, it is rough. I saw it.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Taste funky, guys, I'm calling it now if I grow
a second head by Friday, that mug of.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Tea it is.

Speaker 7 (10:37):
I'm surprised they went with that mug for your first
tea of the day because I saw that.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Some mornings trying to take me out of the game, Rusty.
That is not good. I would say I'm a Monday winner,
and I would say, actually, more importantly, my twenty one
year old daughter Ruby is a Monday winner. So last year,
my twenty one year old Waugh Ruby had a terrible,
terrible year. She had some kind of thing going on
with the back, and she couldn't walk more than five
or ten minutes. She did to stop and sit down,

(11:04):
and she's sing. I think at one point she'd had
five MRI scans, which is a lot in a year.
Different consultants saying, we think it's this, we think it's
the sacra redia. She would show up to all this physio.
She just was not getting better. And then someone recommended
somebody in December, and you know, blessed her. She kept
showing up to all these appointments tirelessly, and then this
amazing guy just said, it's none of that. You were

(11:25):
never going to get better. It's this the region of
the spine haven't even heard of. Have any of us
heard of the multiferous region. I'm not familiar. It's lower
in the spine and there are a load of muscles
and nerves that are very hard to activate, and so
if you have a bad back, the pain receptors turn
off the nerves so they go to sleep. And so
she's had a year of bad back. Those nerves aren't

(11:47):
being activated through just exercise, right. So she went into
hospituiously five minutes from here, and the surgeon said to her,
do you know what the wonders of medicine, Ruby, we
can socker fix you. Ten years ago I would have said,
there's nothing we can do. You've got to go back
to physio. And I really hope you can stimulate them,
but it's going to take time. She had yesterday, she
had this thing fitted. It's incredible. Actually, it's the size

(12:09):
of a pacemaker. So they inserted it in her back
yesterday and there are two electrodes attached to it and
then on on an app. She will then turn on
this device twice a day of half an hour, and
it will stimulate the nerves that are so hard to
reach and stimulate the neural pathways from her brain to

(12:30):
her down where they are to reconnect again. It takes
about six months you'll have supervised visio, but hopefully in
three to six months ago while this guy said you'll
be fine, man, she'll have it for the next couple
of years in her and obviously it's a lot for
her to get head around at twenty one and a
mom and dad like, what do you mean a pacemaker
inserting in her back? So now she has a special

(12:51):
piece of paper. If she goes to an airport scanner,
because obviously there's someone's going to go, what the hell
is that small pouch in your back with some electrodes
A bit like you're bionic. It's incredible now what science
can do. Yeah, And so we were there all day
with her yesterday and to cheer my daughter's up. Pringles

(13:13):
just heel kids. I turned up as a kind of
second support yesterday afternoon and I just opened up before
he said, I started opening up the pringles and I
one's feeding them. And she was like and she she
was like. My wife said, that's the first time we've
seen her smile. So she came out. Listen. That's sometimes
springles our nature's great eater. And also then they stink
out hospital ward other people. Someone's not sours and dad,

(13:36):
I think it's the dad. Oh yeah, they just savor it.
Don't go for the really soultied bland. Especially just come
out of a general anesthetic.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
I always say that when you come out of general.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
I've seen twenty two seasons of Great's Anatomy, and then
because my daughter and I we watch we we've been
watching Grace forever.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
We're up to speed.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
We're still watching new episodes now every week on season
twenty two. It doesn't help, and suddenly you're in hospitals.
Oh it's not like Gray's and NATO. But that's that's
not a documentary, sweetheart, she went where. It's the little
thing you can just press to get trucks. I ain't
giving that.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
To adults these days, to anyone who else for good reason.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Otherwise I'd hook myself a little bit tired in the
middle afternoon, back.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
On breakfast hours after a short break.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Can anyone set me straight?

Speaker 2 (14:28):
What a vision I saw Sunday afternoon, my way back
from a swim in the ocean. My wife and I
was stuck behind an elderly couple. That that age where
they don't care. I envy that it's peak zen Enlightenment.
Actually they were driving on the road unashamedly a golf buggy,

(14:48):
a golf cart, very slowly. They don't go very quickly.
They're just designed on golf course. I've never seen one
in the wild. They're not meant to be on the road.
No seat belts, no indicators, and I could easily have
overtaken them all I said, overtown, I went no way.
I actually said to a point, I want to see
how this planes out. At one point my wife went,
you've got the wrong way. When are you following them?

(15:10):
I went, yeah, I just want to. I just wander
how what were we going? Are they going to the
golf course? If they've been playing golf.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
They're probably telling a very different story to their friends
who are a strange.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Face confused English.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I'm just like, there's no way that's legal otherwise, because
you think about it, we don't have that just driving
around to the supermarket or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
There'd be no road range. They would end road range.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
You can't get angry with someone who's doing two or
three k I said, you have a couple of wines.
Surely that's kind of driving back and one of those
what damn it you're doing well?

Speaker 7 (15:49):
Google says, I'm not a legal expert, but Google says
you generally cannot drive a standard golf court on public
roads in Australia as they aren't roadworthy.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Exactly because the seat belts. There's no doors. I like
you said that, the fact that you thought it was
the fact there's no doors. There's also no seat belts
and no indicators, so no one knows right you going over?
I just I just need to know, has any is
this an Australian thing. I've lived a seven years. I've
not seen this move of golf carts and golf bunkies

(16:18):
on the road Surbia.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
See if you go to Hamilton Island. They've got your
buzz around on that.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
But that's part of the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's actually a normal suburb.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, I don't know about a suburban street.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
I frecking even police would be like do we pull
them over? Just let them go?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
And also and also wouldn't be good because they could
just like jog alongside them. You wouldn't need you wouldn't
You wouldn't need to be speeding with the blues on.
You know, Hey matey, hey mate, you're just walking along.
So hey mate, pull over me. You can't catch us.
You're not putting the old OJ They're never going to
get us more in. They could have been driving for

(16:56):
a year, all right. So before every radio show we
have a team meeting and if that, if I could
draw us a quick pie chart for you, dear listener.
The slim i'm a section of that pie chart is
stuff about the show. It's normally whatever producer Caitlin what
fizzing sort of stuff is in her head that apparently

(17:17):
we need to talk about a quarter to six before
go time. So today, for example, it's a wonder pan
that's changed her life. Now you might be thinking, okay, Christian,
maybe you'll get ready for a feature they called Great
Pans of Australia.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Actually there's nothing on today's show all this year about
great pans. However, at ten to six this morning we
all had to hear about this wonder pan that I
quote directly from producer Kayden had changed her life.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
And so I was like, do you know what?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
What do I know? Maybe it is the wonder pan
and actually listening to to know about it. Protucy Kaidan,
please tell us about the wonder pan.

Speaker 10 (17:51):
Okay, it's a lot because it's actually my partner and
I we've been together for ten years.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Oh wait, why do we have this backstore? Unless you
met her and she was selling pans store to door,
it's not relevant when I was a young girl. And
also I realized wearing for a long one which are
this is actually a lot. When anyone says that I go,
don't want about telling me it's just a what is

(18:17):
this a Tarantino movie? A lot?

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
So we've been looking for a pen, a non stick
pan for a very long time, one.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Looking for one not like the Holy Ground.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
No, I need like an idiot proof one because everything.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
You've got kids that can use pans, it.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Does not have. Like every time it says non stick,
it sticks.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, I'm with you, with you, you should be down
to vote. If you can't operate a pan, don't vote.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
You've got it on too higher hate.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, that's all work.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Fine it So this new pen, no matter how.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
High how low is it especial bogun pan or something
comes in, it's tigers.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
This pan has changed my life.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
When I anyone who can say that doesn't actually have
a life. No, no, no, no, seriously, you don't have
a life.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Give a lack of perspective.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Being a flipping pan to change your life actually makes
me sad.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
I'm about to change your life. I cook a lot
of meals and this is the Wow.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
What's that like, the only.

Speaker 10 (19:31):
One, I promise you Australia, the only one that will
not have any food stick to it. No matter if
it's a steak, it's bacon. It's eggs with no oil.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
It will not stick.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Raw dog in those eggs.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Not okay.

Speaker 10 (19:51):
So I was told by someone that I trust very
much about these pans.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Her name, who is that your care?

Speaker 6 (20:01):
I was told there was an Instagram video.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
People like her.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Think influences of some kind of like modern gods.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
She speaks.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
I love Nagie. I use her recipes all the time.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
But she is great teeneats.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
She is someone I trust very much.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
She put up on her story these nonstick pans, and
she said, I have bought nonstick pans that cost me
six hundred dollars and nothing worked as good as these
that I am telling you right now only cost thirty dollars.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
What do you get?

Speaker 5 (20:29):

Okay, well, listen, it's a new feature called a Simpleton
Sense Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
We're going to do it the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
On Sunday, my wife and I saw an incredible scene
elderly couple, that kind of age where they don't care
anymore about what we think.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Zero fs are given. Get this.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
They're on the road in a suburb like it's no
biggie in a golf golf buggy and it's like this
is the thing they do. This is not their first time,
it's not their first rodeo. It is my wife and I.
I started following them for a couple of minutes when
my wife said it's odd, but I said, they haven't
got any mirrors.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
They can't even indicates they can't see me.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
It sounds even more incriminating.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Anyway, A lot of you have seen this before, Christian.
My aunts and uncle have a golf cart. They used
to drive from the house to the shed, usually to
the big drinks fridge. It's interesting how you have that.
He's either the big freezer, yep, can you go. We
had to go and get a new second hand big freezer,
well a little one at the weekend. And I felt

(22:45):
so bad right because I bartered these people down from
like two hundred and twenty five to one hundred and ten.
I get out my c this story gets really bad,
really awkward, very quickly. I gathered the car to can
pick it up. They are fans of the.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Nice no first thing.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Old mate says, it's like, oh bloody oh love listen
to and he goes, oh my god, are they're not
paying you enough? Then I then give them some more money,
guilty show dollars. My wife must have got my account
and I'm sorry, awkward thing. I get in the car
after as my wife goes to dry I think I've

(23:26):
lost this.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
It was just awful.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's just awful gaggle as well, which is actually my
wife Eve said to me, don actually think about this
or on the show.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
I'm actually sweating.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
You're taking money out of our listeners.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Stop it, stop it, stop it.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's a damn good freezer.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
That damn good freezer.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, apparently New South Wales and Victoria get this. If
you live within two to five k of the golf course,
you can just drive the bug out. I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Five k is like the COVID distance.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
COVID case. Five k is a lot that can't be right.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Otherwise we'd see all the time there are golf courses
everywhere in Australia.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
What if you live your five ks from a highway.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I don't play golf. I'm just going to buy her
golf buddy. Where'd you buy them from? Where did you
even get them from?

Speaker 6 (24:22):
Costco?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Have them?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
The love God? My husband wanted to get one at Christmas.
I said, you're not getting golf. No, of course he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I'm with Chris. I don't play, but now I know
about this two to five k. I mean I live
within five golf course. If I can, I drive one
through my bottle drive.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
If you're within five.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Per tell you what why don't we this week? Why
don't we buy a golf? Can't and give it away? Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
I love?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
How much are they costco?

Speaker 7 (24:51):

I'm about to talk about I can sum up in
just a couple of words this he's marriage. Why don't
I just read out a text message I got from
my wife at eight am last week. Sorry for being
grumpy about your trousers this morning. It literally came out
without even thinking I'm so grumpy when I got woken up. Sorry,

(28:19):
kiss kiss, you might thinking, wow, we what's going on there?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
I am passionate trousers.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
What happens was last week, last week of our break
before coming back to work and beginning the radio show. Right,
and so I was still getting up. I was getting
up early. I was getting up at six o'clock to
start to get us to breakfast hours, and I was
finishing off my book. So while everyone else is asleep,
I was going to do a couple of hours work
and something. So obviously each morning I would have my

(28:50):
clothes ready to quietly put them on, sneak out the bedroom,
close the bedroom door. My wife carries on dozing for
a couple of hours. However, these trousers I was putting
on this particular morning, they were a little bit there
was a little bit of extra rustling.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Is he going to trouser?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Be so not?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Be funny it there's only six am.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
What it means a grumpy missus O'Connell. It's not that early.
It's the best time the day.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
Guys, What material are these trousers?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, so what I thought?

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I thought, you know what, if I start two months
the show, you're gonna want to know how noisy they are. So,
because I'm a radio pro, I went back up to
the bedroom, I strip naked, I got on the bed.
I recorded audio, only you didn't need to strip naked.
Ordered Well, actually, because i'm a methody jo time, I'm
the DiCaprio radio And by that I mean my wife

(29:42):
is twelve. He won't so, And so I recorded I've
recreated for this show for you guys. These are the
actual trousers. Let me play back the tape. Are they
really that noisy?

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (30:05):

your outfit ready where you can't be working up other
household members. If you get up routine early what we

I've got whisper quiet because I'm now I need quieter trousers.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Neil head when his head hits that canopy on the
top of the plane, and he's and what's a canopy?

our listeners at forty thousand feet. Top Gun at forty
You didn't want to get Tim, easy, mate, when we
just starting to know each other.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
I don't know what you like at forty thousand feet.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Some people, you know, they're not nice. Top Gun at
forty thousand feet. Now, you know we can't emulated sixty
two new bosses over Christmas. No, seriously, this company has
suddenly accumulated sixty two new bosses.

Speaker 1 (41:17):

now created a laboratory several bosses that have emerged out
of it. I spoke to won them yesterday. Who's come
from the world of TV? Yeah, I know, I know, video,

Speaker 2 (42:08):

First time I wore them, I fell over and ripped
the knees out of them. I was shattered. I could
never wear them again. Mum could not sew them back together.

was a kid in year eight, and I saved up
for three years to buy a beautiful four wheel drive
and I took that four wheel drive out three years later,
obviously when I got my license and I got it bolked,
and then I borrowed. Yeah, we walked back in the
rain and borrowed a mate's fall will drive who wasn't home,
but his parents let us take it. And then on

(44:29):
the way to pull my four wheel drive out, I
rolled his four wheel drive.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
And what a story. I know, Chris, I know.

Speaker 13 (44:38):
And then I had to sell my four wheel drive
to pay for the damages of his. So for three
years I staved. I was stapling boxes every day. Oh my,
what's nothing.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
The classic story is Sissyphus puned that rock up the cliffs,
pushing those mushroom boxes up there.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
I only to go back and bush.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Them back up.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
It's the saddest story I I heard, Chris.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
He got bogged as well, climbing up the hill.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
We should start go starter or kickstart to get your
four wheel drive now all those years later.

Speaker 13 (45:03):
Yeah, I've got a new one now, but that was
like thirty.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Years away from those bobs, Chris. Chris, thank you so
much for calling the show a really great story. Well told,
thank you, thank you so Yeah, all right, we got

(45:27):
seats is back now. Before I just hand over to
pants Lance with the News and Sport, I want to
just end this out with an invitation. I'm really serious
about doing this thing. At Top Gun. We just love
that movie, right, people of a cent generation, and I
think it's become even more appreciated now because of how
good Top Gun two was. I don't think Tom Cruise's
stock has ever been higher. Yeah, you know, we went

(45:49):
through a phase with the jumping on Oprah's couch and
all that where people are like, okay, the scientolity things
a bit. It's a bit now again you realize he's
a one off. I don't think we're ever going to
see that kind of big Hollywood impact player anymore. It's changing,
and so I really am seeing it's Top Gun turns
forty and May this year. I really would love to

(46:11):
hire a plane get a load of us. We're on
the green jumpsuits and we watched the original movie forty
years on at forty thousand feet and so I know

(46:34):
they listen to show. Eight o'clock is always when they
tune in. Okay, they've just done their first boardroom. They've
just talked to all the investors about the plans this year.
