It was so fun. The colors, honestly, to be.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Honest, colors shout out colors, the colors of the flu
of the fane, and everyone's talking about as colors.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Can I be honest? I actually felt like I'd taken
acid before I went into the That was like crazy.
It's good though, but it's it's a bit oh, I
don't know how to explain it. It's great, like obviously
it's all animated, but they've got like how they do
the Trolls animation and then they go into like a

(01:20):
cartoon in parts. Parts of it, it's very busy, it's
very colorful. The music though, is what like all the
other Trolls movies. I think this is the third installment.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's the trilogy and the Godfather that's.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's just part of all of it is he is yeah,
and n Sync is with him this time, so the
story goes around the Trolls are for reforming a boy band,
and the boy band the soundtrack is actually en Sync.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
And ties in with that nuclear big megatur they're doing
as well.

lot of people there. The cinema is packed, was heaving, actually,
lots of little kids. I think Gordy might be a
little bit too young.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Maybe in a year you reckon it twenty months Attender's
first Pemie. Where do you think you're taking to his
last pressure?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I am nervous about choosing what movies he starts to watch,
because friends of ours who have a child a little
bit older just over to they put on their movie
sing which is animating. Yeah, lovely, he said, it's a
great film, but now he's watched it seventy times in
the past month.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, too much.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Just because they start to love one film and they go, yeah,
we'll watch that again, and anything else on the TV
is not accept for why don't.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
You introduce him to Even if it's something you love,
you'll go through a love hate relationship where you have
to see it so much.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Don't want to accidentally choose trolls and find out that
I hate it, then have to watch it one hundred times.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
You're going to have a hundred acid trips. Put that
on the poster to get the mums and dance over
the summer holidays to start taking acid.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Ours was Frozen, Jack, It was like let it go.
And now they're doing a third and a fourth installment
of Frozen, So just don't.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
They got Frozen the multiverse, daughter are Frozen and how
was your weekend? And so the in laws to send
it from America.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
The Venezuelans are here, and as always when the banker's
parents come, it's.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Everybody in together at once, big family unit.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
But yeah, yeah, get you in a big bear hug,
almost like vultron assemble. Yep, and they will tell you
things around your house that are not perfect.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Is her mum and dad the sister as well.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
The sister and brother aren't coming this time, so mum
and dad are here and they flew twenty four hours, right,
they come from Florida, So Florida to La La to Melbourne.
When you do that kind of trip, don't you just
want to rest after dinner?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You'd think so, especially when you're getting on a bit news.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Banker's mum cleaned out the fridge's getting in the house.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know what that says?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Incredible?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
You live in a hovel.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
No would tell you what that is. Fine, ankle and
square up to you, Patsy.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
She did the vegetable vegetable crisper as well clean that.
She soaked the grate on top of the stove. I
didn't even know that was.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
To do.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
There's so much she's going to sort the garage out.
I've got so much stuff she can clean up.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
And then they're like hawkeyes for everything around the house
that can be done better. TV is not quite centered.
The barbecue should not be on the front por.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
How does this make you feel with it? Do you
feel like suddenly you're not good enough for their daughter.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, it feels me with love.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
They really see and value you.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Tell her what you have got a foot on two weeks.
It's the same when family of mind come and visit
here once. If you move to the other side of
the planet, you can't just see your family that the
rest of you came for an afternoon or lunch or
anythink they're they're here for a while. So you've got
two weeks of Venezuelan inlaws who are very pro family

(04:59):
all movers one yep. And I just asked Jack, so
what are your what are your commitments this week? Because
they're like, it's like saying with Sarah's my mum used
to come and visit us here that it's like a
visiting dignitary, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yes, you know there's there's an agenda because you don't
want to will waste a minute? And I get that.
I mean, we get to hang out with my family
whenever we want. Bianca only sees her family maybe once
a year.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
And I would try and gently, selflessly really move myself
outside of I've taken some of the sun beaming down
from the in laws, mom and dad to I don't
want to be deflecting any of that. Those sun rays
on me, no, no, no, I will disappear in the shadows.
I won't even come a lot of these activities I
love to hold me back, hold me back, please, But

(05:41):
you guys should go.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
I should have some hard blood relative time.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Don't dilute it with an outsider, which is what I am.
But that never works. You get to snap back into
all being one formation.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, I tell you remember when I went in June.
We went to visit them, and I was so worried
about playing golf with my father in law because he
loved Bianca played grew up playing junior golf and they
take it very seriously and he wanted to go one
on one around the course with me.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Then the way you've got one on one norms, it's
called playing around a golf for some one on one
is like a fust fight. Talk here, jack sare we
put these clubs down and just fighting this bunker. If
you beat me, you couldn't have my talk. I know.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
And the sad thing is next year I'll be married
ten years, but it still feels like I'm trying to
prove myself to the martime.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
The audition. I still feel like this after twenty five
years of marriage, and that the audition is stood. On
even Friday night we're out for dinner. I could see
my mother in law's beady eyes sort of sing like,
you know, I'm still making my mind up about this
one outsider.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
So I managed to skip golf. I made enough excuses
in La in the middle of the year and didn't
have to play around of golf.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
And now they're here for how long?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
They're here for? Two weeks? Friday? Friday?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Wow? Set the scene. Who's going to be there? You
father in law?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yes, he wants to go one on one. I'm trying
to recruit Pianka and her mum and so that we
just have a little bit of a buffer in there.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
That'll make even worse because you'll be teeing off together.
So what you're going to have your wife there and
your mother and father in law. This is like a
Shakespearean drama all over eighteen holes of golf, and you
got your new clubs and tailor.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Maids and there's no hiding on a golf course.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
You, Oh my god, Jack, this is, So when's this
game Friday afternoon? Can I make a suggestion. I'm quite
happy to try and find some kind of sports performance
hypnotherapist because you need right now to exist. Yes, yes,
this is what all golfers, all professional golfers, they always have.

(07:43):
They call them head coaches, where they've obviously got their
swing coach. But the most important part of the game
is the mental part of the game.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I know, like Federer and the great test players have
that who do you have? Nobody?

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Nobody? Nobody you're going to go man or man, whether
your father in law, you're going in there naked?

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Okay, book me in the hippis. The problem will be
finding some time in my very full calendar this week.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
You should on the show Patsy on Wednesday. He's supposed
to be attending a Christmas photo shoot with them. I
mean that kid going. It's that one that he's the
most photographed baby that exists.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, you're wearing matching outfits.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now I've let them down because sadly I didn't realize
they hamisheon any podcasts we.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Usually record on a Tuesday Wednesday Get out of It
Christian Connell Show podcast. I'm participating it's just turning Jack
and I that over the weekend she went for a
run and that she's breaking in a new running style.
And uh, I don't like put people to go and
have their gate analyts. They're walking gate and they have
to try and get some new things, and that must

(08:46):
be very hard. I can't imagine how hard it is
you run how you run because how what do you
have to do now?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
So I have quite a few hip problems and I had,
you know, Mr, all the things done. There was nothing
wrong with it. And my physio, who is brilliant, said,
it is how your pelvis tilts back.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
So what we.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
Need to do is bring that forward. So I have
to bring my hips forward.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
And then I have to like a tea cup. I've
got a hip problem too, and they say your tea
cups tipping out is spinning your tea over the force.
You need to bring scoopy that cup side that cock
six scoop it in.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
So what does it look like when you run now?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
If you have keep.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
It was funny. I felt very awkward because I also
have to bring my shoulders back and don't I can't
move my head when I'm running.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
But it actually feels to.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
The way you have to do you move it right angle.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Like that awkward, like you've hurt your neck. But so
when I pull it back, I'm running naturally. I actually
feel pretty good and I can turn my neck. But
it's just a matter of like those are being brought back,
so it stops your neck from moving. And if you
look at like professional runners and sprinters, the heads don't move.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Even if you were doing that example, though your head
was bobbing a little bit.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Watch that you run like a bobblehead. I've just see
can you strap it up? Put one of those neck
races like that? And how did it fit? At the
end of it? Did your hips hurtless?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
So different parts of my hip hurt now, and I
assume that's just because of the news structure.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
But it was fantastic.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Like I get a lot of pain in my calves,
and that's because of how I'm running. A lot of
my weight lands on my calf, but because of this
new one, my legs don't go as far forward.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Hang on, what's that you're doing with your feet now?
It's like an oslot, So how are you moving your
feet now?

Speaker 7 (10:38):
No?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
So, because because I tiled forward the distance that my
legs go forward isn't as.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Far as amazing how these experts and that they make
something very simply so competive. It's like learning golf. Why
I just gave up it. There's too much in the
head about They go okay, and then five minutes later
there's eighteen different things. You need to relax and get
out your own head.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
And now for every step you're tasting on a run,
you've got to think, okay, head still, tea cup.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Shoulders back, tea cup? Oh, just been run over?

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Run?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
On Christian O Connells Show podcast.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Here I eight this morning and there every single day
this week, we're going to be inviting two of you
to come in on the show, take each other on
to try and win one thousand dollars to spend at
cogan dot com. Black Friday. Sound now on Hurriy Salen's
Monday the twenty seventh at Cogan dot com Clicking Awesome.
So the way this game works is called don't pan It.

(11:34):
We give you ten seconds on the clock. We'll give
you a category. You've got to try and name as
many things in that category within the ten seconds. However,
it is a bit harder because media compantcy will be
saying even though the game is called don't panic, we
will be saying panicty, so your brain will hear panic.
You have to try try and stay ice calm within
the ten seconds. Now Rio has come up with the

(11:56):
with the categories JAT and morning Rio. Hello, good weekend, Yeah,
good weekend, fun weekend, fun weekend, A fun weekend. Yeah.
Out about a few late.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Nights or oh yeah, just a normal you know.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Right, some quiet nights? And when did you throw some
of these categories together that I'm looking at now in
the cold light of day twenty to seven Monday morning.
Creativity never stops, right, it's twenty four to seven with you,
we are like the party and let's just go. So
we're gonna get people, and I'm gonna give them a
category like activities that raise your heart rate, jumping, skipping, leaping,

(12:38):
types of dancers.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Tango, et cetera.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
If you can't come up with more than one, and then
we're not getting there's no time pressure these poor listeners
coming in.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
So surely we have to cross some of these off.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
I think we crawl them, all of them.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Noises that animill make.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Tell you what let's pay. Let's pay one of these
right now, Rio with you? So Jack and Pants, remember,
so we're all going to be going panic in a minute. Rio,
this is one of your own count degrees. I can't
believe he thought this is good enough to actually say
to two people in about twenty minutes time to try
and win a thousand dollars words that rhyme with horse
panic panic, panic, picks panic, panic, panic panic. What do

(13:25):
you get? Five?

Speaker 9 (13:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Because what's my law?

Speaker 4 (13:28):
I don't know he's got two degrees. So I just
presumed it must be a college term and I was like,
I've never heard of it. But he said it in
a legit way my law. So I thought he said
horse at one point, and I can we include that?

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I panicked, but I thought I could blust my way through.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
I'm trying to multitask at the moment I'm doing this
radio show and trying to play a parking fine I
got Friday. You ever try and reason with those people?

Speaker 3 (13:58):
You saw the actual officer, Yes, yeah, yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Was half in half out of where you can park, right,
and you know when you dump it in that they're
not going to go fair enough, fair enough, it's Friday. Absolutely,
you're fifty percent wrong, fifty percent right. Don't worry about it, sir.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Did the officer give you this one? I've had it
before we get back in the riding up the ticket.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
He's doing it.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, and he says, once it's in the machine, I
can't take it out.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Same thing to me. And then I'm afraid to say
I told a terrible lie. I said, I'm visiting a
sick friend.

Speaker 10 (14:30):
Come bus.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
What we're about to do is on the skids. The
zamboni has been out and with this team are slip
sliding around. The only are quite simple. Get two listeners
and every day we wish them the best. We give
them ten seconds on the clock. We give them immediate category.
They've got to try and name as many things as
a can in ten seconds. You've all played various versions
of this categories whatever we're calling it, don't panic, And

(17:33):
already the producers are in a panic jack because we've
got categories. Obviously that's how you play the game. They've
seen all the categories because hardly written down on a
piece of printed a four paper in front of them
is the categories I've got here folded up in secret
that is now irrelevant.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
It says in a huge print in big red letters,
don't panic on the top, and then here in today's categories.
And I mean it's not on you, guys. I saw
you browse. This grease is essentially put in front of
you before we pipes.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Tim actually went, what's this? Oh, it's all the categories.
We just want this to be played fairly, guys. So
the more you know, the less surprise we have in this.
It really is cooled. Don't panic.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
So it's someone coming out during Millionaire and being like, okay,
a BBC, so write this down.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
In fact, don't worry about writing it down and remembering it.
We've printed it on a pace of paper in front
of you. Now, all right, so first of all, Tim,

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
During the next twenty minutes will update you what the
scoores and the doors are and it's very very high.
Just how much money you raise for back packs of
it kids and how many thousands of children who weren't
going to be getting a Christmas present this year now
will be thanks to your generosity. It is amazing the
news we've got to share in about ten or fifteen
minutes time. Before that, though, tell us about what happened

(22:42):
this weekend. How was your weekend? Tell us about it
in six words? Text in your six word weekend too,
oh four seven five o three one oh, four three, Patsy,
what's it for you?

Speaker 10 (22:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
We went and saw The Trolls yesterday and was very
embarrassed by the love God, because when you go to
a premiere for these movie things, they're usually you know,
throw in a free popcorn and a free drink.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Must be nice.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
It's a pop corn and drink. Anyway, we stayed down.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
If it was champagne, maybe get it away from me.
My husband will have it. He's a gut bucket.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, he is a gut bucket. Funny you say that,
because we sat down. He had this massive, big bag
of emin m's. I said to Chris, where did you
get that? They're not giving out eminems? And he said,
I just asked for it at the counter. But when
Chris eats M and ms, I don't.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Know he asked for a free.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Well, let's just cast our mind back to when we
did the live show and backstage having a drink after it.
Chris told the guy to get him two pints immediately,
right And I thought, I didn't have down as a
pint drinker. And I said to Chris, you can have
a pike. No, no, no for me right now? I thought,
if he said anyway, maybe for me, but now why

(23:52):
not you went the entourage, You get those two pints
straight away, so yeah, bag of em.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Now think you learned very quickly with Chris when you
go drinking with him is that he drinks in stereo,
so he gets two at a time, so he doesn't
you know, there's no labs between the next round.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
But seemed like a one that button change over. He's
got it down a tad.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
But the eminem's it was so embarrassing.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Jack.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I don't know if you do this when I'm sure
you're more refined. But at one point in the movie
I could hear rustling of the bag and he's got
his head back like Homer Simpson.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Oh my god, he's wearing it like a horse and
a noseing them down kids movie. That's a big child.
There cannot be doing that.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know what we always got in trouble with from
my dad was making sound in a movie, even even
the rustle of the popcorn. And afterwards he'd be like,
you guys are allow.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
It's a good idea to take those noise because they're
all those bags eminems. It's noisy, and.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
God forbid you have a packet of potato chips, which
is right. So we used to eat popcorn like honestly,
like one at a time and take it off the
top like we were Tom Tom Cruisey Mission impossible.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
And then just let the moist mouth dissolve it. No crunching,
Jackie boy, what's your six word? Weekend?

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Mine would be gather around for the golf swing. So
my venezuela and in laws are here. Banker's parents come
into the family like a force every time they visit
from the US and everybody straight away. They're trying to
fix every problem in your life. And they know that
I started taking golf lessons a month ago. So the
first thing they do, get off the plane, get into

(25:39):
our house. He goes, let's see the golf swing.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
You're kidding, where did you go?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
So I have Banker's parents crowded around me. Bianca Gordy's
there as well, and then they get.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
I'm shrinking up right now, there's attention here.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
They get her sister, who's also a golfer on FaceTime
and they're filming it for the brother.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
We're just going to get tiger wichs have and look
at this, see what the hit position is?

Speaker 3 (26:04):
So I line up with my imaginary golf ball in
front of me and start swinging away and straight away
the instructions come okay again, head down, keep your head
down all right again, hands and too close to the body,
all right, Grip a bit further up the shaft of
the club.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
All right, guys.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
And so now Friday, we've been booked in for a
round of golf that's.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Just going to be for eighteen holes and sort of
fixing your swing.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I'm terrible golf in my first round.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
You're coming on a this weekend in December that you
were looking forward to that.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
You don't need to be a golfer to know that
one hundred and twenty one shots for eighteen holes, which
was what I got the first time I played, is
not a good score. You're trying to get a loath
to see.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
You understand where I wasn't why I had to retire
for the game. That was roughly where I was for nine.
I'm not even joking. That's why I retired from the game,
because sometimes you're too good for golf. That's a good thing, right,
Having around one hundred and twenty for nine.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Pray for me on Friday when I got to come along.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Please, Oh my god, where do we begin with this clown?

Speaker 1 (27:04):

Speaker 1 (28:42):
You're listening to the christ You know Carl Show.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Podcast lines are open now. I was in the local paper.
We want to know why on nine four one four

tickets to be given away to go and see cold Play.
They just played path over the weekend and next year
they come back to Australia and they're here in Melbourne
in October and you can win a pair of tickets

(29:06):
just by telling us why you were in the local paper.
On nine four one four one oh four three. Angela
was in a local paper. We had a Teddy Bear's
Picnic day at our primary school and I was photographed
for the papers. I had the largest Teddy Pete years
ago as to teenage hours photographed in the This is
a big one. Gibson Times firing up you heard it. Gt.

(29:29):
Gibson Times firing up my dad's steam train at a fate.
All of these you can imagine the scene, They scream
local rag Linda. I grew giant Russian sunflowers. I thought
they were just sunflowers. I didn't know they were territorial.
Are the Russian sunflowers in my front yard? They were
twelve foot tall? Straight away? That's a photo op, isn't it?

(29:51):
Straight into the local paper. Patsy, You must have been
in the local paper. But we're talking not to do
with with your job.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, I've been in the paper a few times, so big.
I grew up in Wangaratta. We have the Wangaratta Chronicle.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Time wet the front page. We've got Russian sunflowers invading
our Wangarector.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
The first time I appeared, I reckon. I was in
about prepper grade one and we had a bush dance
at school. Bush dancing was huge in the mid to
late seventies, and we had a local artist excuse me,
called Lazy Harry that used to come and sing at
school like once a year. I think it must have
been leading up to Christmas.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Very much iced teeth, lazy.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Harry and I was photographed holding what we had made
at school called a lager phone, which was basically like
a garden steak, a wooden steak.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
I remember those.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
We remember those meeled into it and that made you
know that shaky sound. And then the second time in
the chronicle was for our we got married in Melbourne.
It made news back in Wang like local Former three.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
I was a little bit stunned and Pantsy's showing the
photo of well, let me just show the headlines, so
I've got it here Former three and E journalist marries.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Not much happens in Wang. Any news is good news.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
It's even a photo of them there is there used
to be like and.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I think they still do it, like they have a
page in the Friday edition of the paper where it's
all the local weddings.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
No, but that's that's a proper article, that's not just
a classified you know.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Above an advert for Wanga Reta rsl Ovens Room jackpots.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
And then Chris and I made the Herald's son early
not naughtyes. There was a real doctor shortage in the
western suburbs.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
You had to go. No, I didn't have a go
being a genie aufre this weekend.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
But I was kind of leading a charge to get
more doctors to the west. And the Herald Sun came
and took our photo and we also.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
We're going through the whole family album now.

Speaker 7 (32:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
And we also led a local residence group because we're
in the end of a colder sack, as you know,
and there was a proposal by local council to make
it a thoroughfare and open it to more traffic.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
I what exactly, Cold dead hands. That was actually the headline,
Cold dead hands, Patsy with a big old shotgun pointed
at the other end of the colder sect.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
So we're in the Windom Leader. I think it was
for that.

Speaker 10 (32:28):
Leader.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah, papers, he got out there and the most chronicle
place in the world.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, we won, we won the battle. So they kept
it closed. Very happy with that.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Not a throughfare. No, it's a carl dead.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
It is a colder sack. Ever to remain a colder sack.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Jackie boy, if you've got eight times a year in
the paper, it's a hard act. The Life and Times
of Trina JEFFU.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
But the only time I was in the paper and
I was actually unidentifiable. I was a kid and the
somebody came to the school take a photo of the principal.
He stood on the ladder and took the photo down
on the principal who was looking up at it. And
the kids were meant to run around the principal, and
he used trick photography to make us all blurry. So
the story was, look look at these mad kids, but

(33:15):
the principal can deal with the Chao.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Calm in the center of the storm. I gotcha. So
you were just a blurry I was just a.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Blurry child, cutting out and putting on the fridge.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
All right.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Why were you in the local paper? Nine four one
four one oh four.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
I was in the local paper. We want to hear
your story on nine four one four one o four three.
Good morning, Christian Alex from Roxburgh Park. Myself my dad
were in the local paper three years in a row,
Hello Flexing, coming Besting Christmas Lighthouse in our area. At
three years running out, I saw a place down the

(33:54):
road from us. They've got there, Christmas leave the tree
lights up everywhere. It looks amazing because no one else
He's got them right now. They're the first. You always noticed,
that first local house to actually put their statement pieces out.
It was taking them eight hours and hours to do
it all. Christian I was in the Mordiallic, Chelsea's stand
news as a twelve year old to promote the local

(34:14):
junior sockey club. Of all the photos taken thes of
me and a teammate banging heads together as he went
for a header with the headline cracking players. Genius, genius
and put it on the front page. Thanks very much.
That's from Richard Kerry Kerry, Hi, Hello Kerry. So you

(34:36):
were in the local paper. What's your story?

Speaker 12 (34:39):
It was actually in my dad who was in the
Chelsea Leader newspaper in the nineteen seventies, and he was
on page.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Three and what was the story.

Speaker 12 (34:51):
The headline of the story was bearfootman chases thief. There
was no photo though. It was just a story because
the true story is he was actually butt naked chasing
the thief.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
How come your dad was naked? Was it the middle
of the night.

Speaker 11 (35:07):
It was the middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, wow, we didn't he put any clothing on
even some jonks has got out there.

Speaker 13 (35:15):
No, no, he just heard that someone was coming through
the door and he got out of bed and he
chased them down the street. But back in the seventies
they couldn't play nude man chases.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
There would have been an outrace. There would have been
an outrac right, so.

Speaker 12 (35:31):
They said barefoot man chase the thief.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Did he catch the thief?

Speaker 12 (35:35):
He didn't, but the police caught the thief very shortly after.
So the thief did get what he deserved, but he
was probably quite traumatized as well.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Kerry, thank you very much the story. Mat have a
good week. Good morning, Joe, Good morning, Joe, good money.
All right, so you were in the local paper.

Speaker 11 (35:54):
How come I was in the local paper when the
Queen visited. I was six years old in nineteen seventy
and I was right up against the little rail tape
and she saw my dress and she came over and

(36:14):
she there's a photo in the paper of me staring
up at the clean with her hands playing with the
little pomp poms on my dress.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Amazing, what a special moment that you've gone. Amazing moment.

Speaker 11 (36:27):
And yeah, and it's such a gorgeous.

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Little Fado was a little, little, tiny girl with blonde,
curly hair and big eyes staring up at the clean
just in awe.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Absolute awe ah, what a lovely moment. That's awesome, Joe,
thanks for showing that. May have a good day.

Speaker 9 (36:46):
No worries to thank you.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
We go ahead. Shane, Hello, yep, Shane, Hello.

He's all the.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Yeah, no, no, no, where go, We're good. That's good, okay,
it is. I.

Speaker 7 (37:04):
I've been in the local newspaper many, many times, the
Barrack City News, back in nineteen ninety through quite a
few years, basically nineteen eighty eight, I was with the CFA.
We've got a fire call of a dog stuck down
a drain. When we got there, there was a drain
of about four hundred and fifty mil diameter. It was
about halfway under the road. Couldn't get it out. We

(37:25):
tried enticing it with meat and everything. So I called
down on my belly walk called in, much to the
captain's discussed I got my arms, all my hands around
the dog's shoulders and pulled him out. The dog was
covered in mud. They washed him off. Then they proceeded
to wash me off. And then about two years later,
I got this phone call from a gentleman Charles Wright,

(37:48):
I think his name was from ARRASPCA stating congratulations, I'd
like to announce that you've won Australia's first ever RSPCA
her Main Award. And it was a joke because mobile
phones were coming in at that time and I thought
it was one of the work colleague, so I just
played along with it and three days later I got
aeroplane tickets to go to Canberra to receive my award

(38:11):
from doctor Hugh Worth, the President of the RSPCA. Only
have a silver medallion and an A four citation of
my bravery for rescuing his dog, which was obviously trapped.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
Well good on your Shane, amazing story. Well thanks for
sharing that today. Uh Kim, good morning, Kim, Good morning team.

page two and I did naked skydiving for a competition.

Now, judge and please yes, no judge, And why were
you naked?

on this show and everyone who works on the show,
is that actually we do feel like we're part of
a community on this show, and we really do. And
I've seen the last couple of days and I've seen
it before over the years, when we ask you for
help or we tell you about some people that actually
really need help. And that's what happened on Thursday morning,
just last Thursday morning, only a couple of days ago.
The reason I'm telling you it was Thursday and a

(45:12):
couple days ago because it's really relevant to how much
money has been raised in an incredibly short space of
time and a time in our lives right now with
record high cost of living, interest rates that are shut up.
That's why there's charity that we told you about Thursday,
Backpacks of It Kids. Why Sally, one of the founders there,
called me Wednesday night and she didn't know who else

(45:35):
to speak to or they'd run out of money. They
were trying to raise money so that thousands, it will
be over five thousand children will sadly be taken away
out of environments, whether the no longer safe and put
into foster homes or places of care where they're going
to be safer, but it will mean that they won't
get a Christmas present. So this charity backpacks of it
kids who are amazing. They were trying to make these

(45:56):
little Santa packs and each Santa pack is thirty five dollars,
just thirty five dollars, and they got to about fifteen
hundred of them, which means fifteen hundred children getting a
Chrystal present, but it sadly means there's around four and
a half five thousand who won't who will go without Christmas.
The won't they won't be present under the tree. And
it was heartbreaking when I heard that Wednesday. So on Thursday,
we just told you about that and could you donate

(46:18):
thirty five dollars because every thirty five dollars will man
one less kid who won't be going without this Christmas.
And like us at the time, it was it was
I didn't know how much money we would raise, and
I say we would help you would raise because actually
for the same reason why a really deserving, very very
small charity run by Goodwill, big hearts, big souls and

(46:40):
basically voluntary donations, and you know volunteers. Same reason why
they're in that financial situations because people actually can't help
as much as they normally would and Australians are very,
very very generous the very you generate a lot of
money for charity. However, So from Thursday morning, with nothing,
not knowing what we could get Sally, we're going to
get Sally on here because we have an update. Sally.

(47:03):
Good morning, Hey, good morning. I'm sorry that we've crashed
into a weekend break that you've been enjoying on your anniversary.
Congratulations on your anniversary.

Speaker 11 (47:12):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
Now, Jack, what are the what are the scores on
the door at the moment? Thanks for the generosity of
our listeners, and actually our listeners all over the world.
We've had emails from people who listen to a podcast
all over Europe and in England as well who've been
so moved by what you're doing here in Melbourne. So, Jack,
how much money has been donated?

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Yeah, it's unbelievable really, and we're proud to say currently
it's up to one hundred and ninety eight thousand, five
hundred and sixteen dollars, which equals six hundred and seventy
two center packs.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
So that is that's over five and our thousand children.
We'll get a Christmas present that weren't going to be
getting one without everybody. And there literally is thousands of
you who've donated thirty five dollars here seventy theres so Sally,
you can give them the Christmas presents?

Speaker 9 (48:00):
Well, we sure can. We can give them something a
bit more special, even because the figure is just unbelievable.
That amount of money is incredible, and I just I
really love seeing all the messages from the donors who
acknowledge our volunteers and the time and effort that so
many people put into making this happen. It is a

(48:21):
huge scale progres and it happens all of a sudden
at this time of the year, and it takes a
lot of black and a lot of effort and a
lot of money. And this is just absolutely unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Well you know what I mean. I mean, if people
are listening actually and they want to donate their time,
what's the best place to do to go to your website?
Because I've actually had a lot of email from people,
Go look, I can't give financially, I just can't went
but I can give my time I'd love to be
involved in what they're doing. What do people do?

Speaker 9 (48:53):
Oh yeah, there's a if they go to our website
Backpacks number four the Kids Doddle Dot are you.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
There is a how to.

Speaker 9 (49:00):
Help section and donating your time volunteering is one of them.
You just feel out, perform and we'll be in contact.
But they can also watch our Facebook page at times
like this. This time of the year, we often have
extraordinary or extra packing sessions in the evenings and weekends,
so we pop those as an event on our Facebook page.
So much out for those.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Awesome Well listen, Sally, we just want to give you
the amazing news. It's almost two hundred thousand dollars when
it was looking quite bleak on Wednesday night, and it's
all thanks to the amazing work you do and the
kids of Melbourne who are going to be getting a
Christmas present this year.

Speaker 9 (49:38):
It's just absolutely unbelievable and I'm often enough, how do
we get the gifts to the kids, because we're talking
about thousands and thousands. It's usually through the caseworkers and
the community service organizations who provide the placements and the
programs to look after them. And just one of the
orders that I have to feel very quickly is or

(50:00):
a secure facility. So that's a place that who's run
by an organization and has like apartment rooms ready for
women who have children and have to flee extreme domestic
violence and they're literally waiting for the moment when it's

(50:20):
going to be more safe. So everyone involved and they
flee to these places and they're very secure and they're
protected in those places, but they simply can't They can't
go out to the shops, they can't buy gifts, and
at that time of the year, they can't access money
either because of the situation. They've fled some for us

(50:41):
to be able to provide some gifts through the organization,
who will then give them to the mother who's in
that situation, so that she can present some gifts to
the children and you know, have just that tiny spark
of normality and enjoy during that really hard time with
all this health. That means we can do so much

(51:01):
more of it. So I'm really grateful.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Oh my god, I'm so glad you tay us that
because we actually we don't even know about people who
are in that literally on the edge of something there
in a really dangerous situation. We don't know if there's
even people to have to do that or go into
such a place. All those people you mentioned that actually
make that safety, then you're right, you can't help. But
imagine actually what that's like for a mum trying to
keep a kid safe and then suddenly actually getting these

(51:25):
little backpacks that have been donated by people that you
don't ever know and never get to meet to thank you,
but just showing them that those kids do matter is
God is something so powerful. Thanks for sharing that.

Speaker 9 (51:37):
Well, I'm just gonna say my pleasure, it's not really
my pleasure. This happened so much, but it is their
privilege to be able to support those and as a
community and with everyone who has come together and helped
to make this happen, I include you all in my community,
and I just want to thank you again. This is
absolutely amazing.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
It's always it will always be there to help. Whatever
you guys do, it's vital work. It shouldn't be needed,
but it is, Sally, and there's so many people that
literally thousands of people that actually see what you do
and have been inspired by it. That's what they do.
And even if you haven't been able to donate. You
just can't the moment, there's no judgments there. You've got
to look after yourself first and foremost. But I think
actually just hearing about what you do and what all

(52:21):
your volunteers do and those kids, I think even that
is a gift. It's a reminder of actually that there
is so much good in the world, because we're seeing
every half an hour the news of all that's wrong
in the world right now, and it's a lovely reminder
that there's also really really beautiful people like you and
your volunteers and all those case workers who do such
special work. So thank you for actually, I think at

(52:42):
highlighting the good people that are out there doing really
really important work Sally like you.

Speaker 9 (52:48):
Thank you, And speaking of good people, may I also
acknowledge other faster careers and kingship careers who who many
of whom give a lot from their own pocket, opening
their hearts and homes to protect children. They do give
a lot and don't require our help. So we're just

(53:09):
trying to meet the needs of about I think that's
thirty percent of the children in Victoria who are ema
out of home care, and you know at the moment
that's about three and a half thousand. It's not all
of the kids in care. So just to all those
faster cares and kinship careers who do give so much
to those kids who need them, who need those people,

(53:29):
I'm going to acknowledge their kindness as well and their
generosity along with everyone else who's helping us to reach
the ones who simply don't have the means to give
the kids those extra things.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Thank you very much for highlighting them as well. Sally.
All right, we'll let you go now now we catch
up with you later on this week. Thank you very much, Sally,
Thank you, Christian, thanks everybody. All right, So it's backpacks
for kids. If you do want to find out more,

Congratulations to Danny for Daft Monk the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Before we go today, A huge thank you, so so
many of you. We can't thank all of you, but
I think I know why you're doing it, and you're
receiving your own things and reasons for why you've donated.
And so much money has been donated since just Thursday
morning at eight o'clock when we first went on air
and said sadly they're going to be of a five
thousand children in care this Christmas. That's staggering fact, as

(58:41):
we found out earlier, is only a tip of vice
book is actually higher than that. But these five thousand
and more children who are going to be in care
this Christmas, they won't actually be getting a Christmas present.
And so there's an amazing charity. And if you have
spare time and you're looking for meaning and purpose in
your life right now, go and look at what they
do and see if you can get involved. You're changing
young lives, you really are. They're a lovely charity. They're

(59:03):
run by volunteers donating their time and their hearts. You
can find them while they call Backpacks per Vic Kids.
And anyway, Sally called me Wednesday night and said, there's
no more money. We can't We're not going to meet
the huge demand this year of these Christmas presents. And
they make together something called a Santa Pack. Simple as
a Santa Pack, it costs just thirty five dollars and
it means those children who are in a tough, tough

(59:25):
time and in our protective care get a Christmas present.
But it does cost thirty five dollars. And they rely
on donations, and because of the high cost of living
interest rate rises, people understandably aren't giving as much as
they normally could or indeed would. So we had to
ask you guys Thursday, could you help out? And I
didn't know how much money we'd raise. I've got no idea.
It's hard to ask people for money this time of year. However,

(59:47):
Jackie Boy, as we wrap up on Monday Show, the
staggering amount is.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Two hundred, three hundred and eighty one dollars.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
Honest, See, it's incredible what you've done. Thank you so much.
That thank you as much of all those kids that
are going to get a little center pack this year.
So how many, how many thousands of kids are going
to get a little gift this year?

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Five seven hundred and twenty five center packs.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
That equals thank you so much. So if this is
the first time you're hearing about any of this, head
to the Christian o'connells show dot com dot au can
find out more. Now before we leave, thank you. These
are just some thank you we want to work give.
I want to thank a lot of the small businesses
and small businesses you're you're having it tough this year
for every reason. That why charities aren't getting to so

(01:00:31):
many donations. You're struggling with the high cost of living.
How much can you pass on to us? Or the
wages are going up on the materials that you do.
So I want to thank the small businesses Hope donated
so much and I appreciate that this is actually probably
a stretch for you, but you still wanted to help
those kids and need this Christmas. So these are just
some of the small businesses that are supported the kids
in Melbourne, like Energen Electrical. What a wonderful cause. Both

(01:00:54):
our kids are adopted and we know firest hand what
it means for kids to be loved.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Thank you Energenso thanks to the staff at Melbourne Water.
They're hoping they can make a difference for some families
and children in need this holiday season. Over a thousand
dollars donated.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Thank you very much. Retro Finance, great organization in providing
children with the basics that most of us take for granted.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
The team at DVS Kitchens would like to donate four packs.
We couldn't imagine our kids not getting a prezzie for
Christmas and hope this helps.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Hughes. Thanks lots of love to Swag Bookkeeping Mary Christmas
from the team at Swag Bookkeeping. Thank you Sally and
the volunteers for doing what you do.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Thank you and then thanks so also. I love the
message reading the messages and people who are donating on
behalf of their kids. So a lot of them are
buying two or three packs depending on how many kids
and grandkids they had, including Simone Taylor one pack for
each of our three kids.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
Lauren Credon, My daughter Ella would to donate Christmas back
to child and needs. She will use her own pocket
money that's been saying for a rainy day. This day
is the rainy day. I hope this will help another
little boy or girl enjoy what Christmas is all about.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Amanda Food and me, I would like to donate this
money to bring joy to one child and need this
Christmas Day. We wish it could be more.

much loved and spoiled pets, mile O, Toby and Sandy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:35):
And we'll leave you with this. This is a lovely
message from Nicole Rhoades. I record a time when I
was a little kid. Mum had no money at all.
There was a knock at the door. Person was dropping
off boxes of food and gifts. It was just before Christmas.
My mum cried. Us three children had no understanding of
mom's struggle. All we know is this wonderful food and
gifts that were so exciting and fun. Joy entered our
home again. Made that same joy for the hearts of

(01:02:57):
those who receive these gifts. Blessed all involved, and my
piece wish over their nervous systems as well. Nicole Rhodes,
what a lovely message. Thank you so much for everyone.
If you do want to donate, I'll find out more
about this amazing but very important charity. Head to the
Christian o'connellshow dot com dot au. Thank you will be
never enough, but thank you very much. We're back tomorrow.
