I Heeart podcasts. You can hear more gold onhe I
four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
free iHeart app. Got anything good?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey? This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Good morning, Patsy, morning everyone. I begin today with a
heavy heart. I am now officially in mourning and grieving
the double acts. The brothers have gone. They flow in
the coop in a year of empty nesting. For me
at home, it fills like that with my love of
the d's playing.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oliver Christoph Petraga.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Oh be happy, boys, be happy. One always have that
preparentship boys that he's happy for you, but he's hurting inside.
The big questions for me are will Christian Petraga's prawn
tacker recipe go with him? I take it that's what
Dimmer really wants. It's that we are getting that kitchen
and all the cooking and the recipes, aren't we?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Hick twenty three the taco recipes on Benner is missus.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's the whole kitting camoodle. I found it so gripping
yesterday right getting across what happened on deadline day yesterday,
the last hour felt more dramatic than I've watched it
the last couple of years, even the last ten or
fifteen minutes. Who was a Tom guy going berserk in
the Hawk's room, Tom p.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Troro.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, it's like the Tom Cruise carrots in Tropic Thunder.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
It's just swearing and everyone in.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
There.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, and they just sat there.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
What did anyone get up and never go in? It
was so gripping.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I think the fact that they you couldn't actually hear
anything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But what does he say?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That meeting rooms could suddenly be so dramatic?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Yes, Yeah, And you had Cane Colin's on a gender
setters reading their body language, a body language experts.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
What are he's saying? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes? It was so bizarrely, you know, on a Friday
we do double thumbs up. The most dramatic TV show
I've seen this week was the last hour yesterday on
Trade Deadline. I don't know what it was, people pointing
at whiteboards and fingers and people coming in out of rooms,
Zack Merritt going or not.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, and you like you actually don't know what's going
to happen, like this genuine steak. You don't know what
to get and you don't know what's happening when you're
watching it. You're trying to make sense of one of them.
At one point caw Toomey was trying to lip read
what they were saying in the room.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I saw that. I think I think he's saying.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
He's not happy happy or subway the desk, remember that,
my godness.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And there's so much there's there's a science and it
isn't and the mats about what round picks and then
so the d's they they gave some future picks back.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
You get three first round.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Picks, which is amazing, which is incredible, right, but then
we actually give some back and I'm like, do we
ever get them? Bad deal? Stop him, stop the plane,
don't you back? It's got it. So you get Charlie Kerner.
She must be so happy. I'm so so excited.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Finally there's Swans need like a big flagship sort of
flashy player. Otherwise people don't really care about AFL. So
we've got that again with Charlie Kurno. I'm very cold.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I want the AFL because you know when they sometimes
you get the first round games, there's some real interesting clashes.
I really want the first one to be Carlton versus
Sydney Swans. Oh. Yes, the D's to be playing Klayton
Oliver in his first game as g WS matchups.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I want to see.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The bigger winner yesterday on deadline Trade Day was meeting
rooms gripping TV. It's not so much on the oval.
It was in the meeting rooms.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, and they were really going over which meeting rooms
are important. At one point they didn't want the Essendon
agent to go in with Hawthorne.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They think they should do neutral meet. This resolved. The
only way this has resolved is it if you replenish
it and buy a replacement.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
I'm happy to do that.
Speaker 9 (04:12):
If you're going to be precious about it, money precious,
I will.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I tell you what you should do tonight. Break into
Pats's house at dinner time tonight and just help yourself
do a lot of dinner. And then goes, what are
you doing? Go if you're gonna be precious about.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It, The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes, I was watching a TV show no spoilers, but
someone died in it and I suddenly I was watching
my daughter and I said, you know what. When I
was a kid, this would have devastated me for days.
She was like, what do you mean? I said, I
used to believe that when a character an actor died
in a TV show movie, they died in real life,
and my muke expected and everything spontaneously combusting. As a kid,
(04:54):
if I don't know why my parents would would expose
me to a show like that. If I ever saw
sometimes my dad's slippers, I would I was terrified that
he had just got up at a pub of smile.
God's spontaneous combustion? Is it a thing? I don't know, idea.
(05:16):
I'd like to be reassured it is. Otherwise the nightmares
will come back. But is Kadan, what do you used
to believe? As a Kidnade?
Speaker 10 (05:22):
I always thought.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
That the moon was my moon and it would follow
me home.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
To give me life.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's your own personal marror. I love that.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
What always feels like it's following.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
This, it's my moon. Christian. My wife also thought dogs
were boys and cats were girls. It's a growing thing.
I didn't know somebody I who believed this. Christian has
a kid. I used to believe that there was a
man standing inside the traffic light pole who pushed a
button to change the lights.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
He lived in it. That's gate, that's a child.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It is to believe that the clouds were snow and
you had to fly on a plane to go skiing.
Oh wow, this is an instance from meck Christian. As
a child, I had no idea about the birds and
the bees and the concept of fertilization. I always flushed
the toil it before use. This was so that my
Wii would not mix with a girl's Wei and make
(06:13):
a baby. Yeah, gotta be careful, so protection with kids
if you listen to this. Christ and I used to
thought that Mario and Luigi were real plumbers and they
just got their own video game as a time. I mean,
there may well be some plumbers called Mario and Luigi.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now, just now we were talking about Dave Allen.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Pats was talking about how terrified of were wolves was
because he had a running sketch the Dave Allen Show.
Dave Anon at Large was a brilliant show. He was
still doing stand up into a seventies. I saw him
about a year or two before he died. Incredible, one
of the best storytellers I've ever seen live. He did
(06:55):
this really cool thing. The last time I saw dave
An and Live was he said, I'm going to tell
you my last story and then I'm going to just
gonna buggle off. I'm done. I don't believe it encores.
I think they cheapen the whole thing. I think they
embarrassed you and I there won't be an on call.
This is my last story and then I'm done. Throughout
the whole show, he was famous for sitting in a chair.
We're just sit in a chair and tell stories, and
(07:16):
so throughout the whole show it's like two hours. It
was incredible. He kept having a little sip of whiskey.
He had a glass of whiskey, and he chained smoked
as well, and throughout the show he would top up
from his whiskey bottle. His whiskey. Anyway, he did his
last short story and it was brilliant. He walks off
stage and then about a minute later he comes back
on stage, and remember thinking, oh god, he's going to
do an encore. Just said he wouldn't. He simply just
(07:36):
picked up his whiskey bottle. He left on stage and
walk back. I don't know if it's the thing he
did every night but I remember thinking it's so good.
We found this clip from the late great Dave Allan.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I know the Irish have a funny way of talking
with the Australians have also funny.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
They add. I e onto a lot of work. I
was around Christmas and I said to a fellow, said,
what are you going to do on Christmas?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
He said, well, I'll think I'll get up Chrissy die.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
While had my bracky. I want to pick up the
couzie gus we did. He watch a game of foot.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
He had became a drink ease and then I'll come
home and have a yummy, yummy Christy Din Din.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He was sixty four years of age.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Lots of messages coming in were things that we used
to believe as a kid. Good Morning Christian. Growing up,
my brother convinced me that I was adopted. God Hi crawl.
It gets worse. I believed it's so much that I
made up a backstory that was from royalty and was
kidnapped as a baby. There was a lot of resentment
(08:43):
from young me for my family for taking me.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
From a life of wealth.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Chris, that's very funny. Christian. I used to believe the
EMUs were female and ostriches were male. I got the
shock of my life when I saw two ostriches mating.
Stay away from Chapel Street on a Saturday night. There
and if that shocks it, Darren. When I was chat
in primary school, I used to hear teachers talking about
the pigeon holes at the office. I thought there was
(09:14):
birds nesting in the school office. That's from Daz Christian.
As a kid, I was convinced the tooth Fairy was real.
I think it's all a phase in my life. We
were believing the tooth Fairy. I used to trick her
and pop the glass of water under my bed wake up,
and there was money in the glass. In primary school time,
someone told me that sucking on fruit stickers would make
me taller. I believe them, and after a full school
(09:36):
term I was sucking on stickers. I was finally tall
enough to reach the monkey bear.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I was talking about the terrifying TV show Tells
of the Unexpected, and it was like these awful kind
of drama a different story. Each Sunday used to be
on in the UK and it was obsessed with spontaneous combustion.
Every three episodes there'd be someone disappearing into a cloud
of smoke. Christian listened to this morning. I never thought
(10:04):
i'd hear that terrifying phrase tells it the unexpected.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What have you done?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I'm terrified again. For a couple of years during primary school,
I actually thought I would burst into flames. That's from Meg,
that's from Meghan. Keep this coming. Then things used to
believe as a kid.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast, Good.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Morning, Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show. Christian.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Growing up, I used to think the brown cows made
chocolate milk. That's Michael Christian. I used to think that
the outback was just over the Mount Dand and Old Rangers.
The other side of that was just gonna be just
a desert. I love as soon as well from Michael
christianized to think that the emergency stopping lane on side
(10:50):
of the freeway said emergency shopping lane. My thinking was
as a kid that if your groceries fell over in
the car, you would pull over there to fix them
back up and put them back in the bag, because
I remember Mum had always used to put the groceries
on the back seat. I kept checking them, make sure
none fell over as well. We need to pull over.
It was only years later when I was learning to
(11:10):
drive records what it said. It's quite a difference there,
quite Adhererence Michael Joy, all right, every Thursday is to
kind of into the yang, a small thing, big rage
with these small thing, big joy today. Today it only
(11:30):
happens like once a year. I got into the shower,
perfect temperature, oh, no notes, no notes, no adjustment needed,
not too hot, not too cold. The other thing I
get such a bizarre amount of joy from. We've got
to stick vacuum. It's on these disons. You know, it's
got the sea through where.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All the muck goes in.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
When I see it or and I empty it, I
feel so good when I see there's dirt and dust
in there, and god, yeah, it's reassuring. It's something pleasing
about It pleases me that he's got dirt in there.
Years ago, vacuums it was all inside we didn't get
to see.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Now it wants us to know it's good work.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yes, you filthy humanoids, perhats he what's he for?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You?
Speaker 3 (12:13):

that move before. You mustn't tell the listeners about it.
I need to hear about the iron Eagle. Stop. No,
when I go to bed again, I told you it
is that story about the Chinese whilbow. We must not
have it.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
I didn't mean to say that when I retire for
the evening. When I wake up, so I just drive.
Let me start again.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm actually getting cold swap.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I'm fluster.
Speaker 3 (12:46):

Speaker 9 (12:50):
When I get home, I drive my car into the garage.
I don't back it in, right, I drive driving for
you wait.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
For the thing to open up.
Speaker 1 (12:59):

Speaker 9 (13:03):
When every morning I've woken up this week, he has
when I've gone to better of a night time reverse
the car in so that when I get up.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
It all just sounds like it's it's just sex code.
They're doing something like co to each other. No, I'll
back it in and you front envy and stop, guys show.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
It's actually a really sweet thing that he's doing.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That sounds so that.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
In the morning it's really easy for me to just
leave and it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
It sounds right, but it's just those little things that
he'll do.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
And if it's low on petrol, he'll go and top
it up, so I don't have to anyway, enough for
me move.

You're right, you like Michael Jordan three pointers. That's a
Richard Christian. When we were growing up, we used to
have to put blankets over from me mirrors on the
(16:09):
wall during thumbstorms. Mum told us that lightning was attracted
to mirrors. I've never I've never heard that. I read
thinking the Encyclopedia Britannica about that. Really we did this
three years not knowing any different. Christian growing up on
a farm. When I was at the club, was absolutely
(16:30):
sure that adults could somehow walk through fences. Was does
kids had to climb over them? I kept on trying
to figure out how they did this and wondered whether
whatever work out. This magic shortgum that's from Mercate Christian.

this went out for milk came home with a kayak,
because that's a.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Story we had.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You know, sometimes she actually just happens in real life
where you go out just to get milk or some
basic groceries and then you see something or something's on
sell anything. Do you know what, I bloody get that
right now. That is a great deal. I'm making money.
Went out for milk, came back with the kayak. What's
your verse of that story? This happened to you this week?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Patch, Yes, yesterday I went to Ali for chicken fillts
for dinner and came out with an egg.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Chair, a lid chair for the backyard.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
We've been wanting one for ages and I just happened
to come across it and I thought, you know what,
that's coming home that's so comfortable.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Pat, So trouble is once you get in it, you
don't want to get out of it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I can just see myself with a cup of tea
in a book every afternoon in the sun, and I
have booked it up. But the funny thing is, because
the box was rather big and very heavy and I
was on my own, I couldn't get it in the
car myself. So I said to them, I'll pay for it,
would you mind holding on to it? And I'll send
my husband back tonight to get it. So where we
love God went out to get it. Only I don't
(18:35):
know where I was in my headspace last night. He
thought when I said Aldi, naturally he would think our
closest Aldi, where we do most of our shopping. When
I'd actually got it sort of in the next suburb
because I happened to be there yesterday and I didn't
think to tell him.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So I got this, Patty, you do a day's work
and then you're going on some Audi pub card to
get a flip in twenty egg.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Chest so bad, and he goes, where is this?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Each year?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
I have been to three hours the first one, and
I was sure that I gave him the receipt, and
I thought that was okay, you know it had the story.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
Why would you know to check that? I was so silly.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Anyway, the first Aldi went to the extent of them
checking their video to see if it was sole an
egg Chaer that day because they had no them I know, right,
So I felt really.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Bad how she would have just course, this was.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
At eight o'clock last night. So anyway, he came home after.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The age at night, search it for the Holy Girl
the egg chair from Aldi.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
He's a keeper, all right?
Speaker 1 (19:40):

a kayak. What's your story?

Were you going to get some basic? Can you come
back with something not basic? Like this on Debora? Because

a ten seater SPA and no computer. It was awesome.
Christian had a king and queen seat. What's it king

It was cute, yes, and a story perfect answer.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You're quite right? Were they what you mean?
Speaker 11 (21:23):
I was in the shopping center in the days where
they still had pet shops, and it was it was
one little puppy. All the other puppies were jumping around
saying bye me. By me and this one little one
was sitting in the corner, say, I'm depressed. So I
took him home. And the sad thing was I fell
in love with him. But the minute he met my

daughter he was her dog, which.

What did anyone get up and never go in? It
was so gripping.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I think the fact that they you couldn't actually hear
anything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But what does he say?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That meeting rooms could suddenly be so dramatic?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Yes, Yeah, And you had Cane Colin's on a gender
setters reading their body language, a body language experts.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
What are he's saying? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yes? It was so bizarrely, you know, on a Friday
we do double thumbs up. The most dramatic TV show
I've seen this week was the last hour yesterday on
Trade Deadline. I don't know what it was, people pointing
at whiteboards and fingers and people coming in out of rooms,
Zack Merritt going or not.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, and you like you actually don't know what's going
to happen, like this genuine steak. You don't know what
to get and you don't know what's happening when you're
watching it. You're trying to make sense of one of them.
At one point caw Toomey was trying to lip read
what they were saying in the room.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I saw that. I think I think he's saying.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
He's not happy happy or subway the desk, remember that,
my godness.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And there's so much there's there's a science and it
isn't and the mats about what round picks and then
so the d's they they gave some future picks back.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
You get three first round.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Picks, which is amazing, which is incredible, right, but then
we actually give some back and I'm like, do we
ever get them? Bad deal? Stop him, stop the plane,
don't you back? It's got it. So you get Charlie Kerner.
She must be so happy. I'm so so excited.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Finally there's Swans need like a big flagship sort of
flashy player. Otherwise people don't really care about AFL. So
we've got that again with Charlie Kurno. I'm very cold.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I want the AFL because you know when they sometimes
you get the first round games, there's some real interesting clashes.
I really want the first one to be Carlton versus
Sydney Swans. Oh. Yes, the D's to be playing Klayton
Oliver in his first game as g WS matchups.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I want to see.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The bigger winner yesterday on deadline Trade Day was meeting
rooms gripping TV. It's not so much on the oval.
It was in the meeting rooms.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, and they were really going over which meeting rooms
are important. At one point they didn't want the Essendon
agent to go in with Hawthorne.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They think they should do neutral meet. This resolved. The
only way this has resolved is it if you replenish
it and buy a replacement.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
I'm happy to do that.
Speaker 9 (04:12):
If you're going to be precious about it, money precious,
I will.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I tell you what you should do tonight. Break into
Pats's house at dinner time tonight and just help yourself
do a lot of dinner. And then goes, what are
you doing? Go if you're gonna be precious about.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It, The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes, I was watching a TV show no spoilers, but
someone died in it and I suddenly I was watching
my daughter and I said, you know what. When I
was a kid, this would have devastated me for days.
She was like, what do you mean? I said, I
used to believe that when a character an actor died
in a TV show movie, they died in real life,
and my muke expected and everything spontaneously combusting. As a kid,
(04:54):
if I don't know why my parents would would expose
me to a show like that. If I ever saw
sometimes my dad's slippers, I would I was terrified that
he had just got up at a pub of smile.
God's spontaneous combustion? Is it a thing? I don't know, idea.
(05:16):
I'd like to be reassured it is. Otherwise the nightmares
will come back. But is Kadan, what do you used
to believe? As a Kidnade?
Speaker 10 (05:22):
I always thought.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
That the moon was my moon and it would follow
me home.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
To give me life.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's your own personal marror. I love that.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
What always feels like it's following.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
This, it's my moon. Christian. My wife also thought dogs
were boys and cats were girls. It's a growing thing.
I didn't know somebody I who believed this. Christian has
a kid. I used to believe that there was a
man standing inside the traffic light pole who pushed a
button to change the lights.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
He lived in it. That's gate, that's a child.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It is to believe that the clouds were snow and
you had to fly on a plane to go skiing.
Oh wow, this is an instance from meck Christian. As
a child, I had no idea about the birds and
the bees and the concept of fertilization. I always flushed
the toil it before use. This was so that my
Wii would not mix with a girl's Wei and make
(06:13):
a baby. Yeah, gotta be careful, so protection with kids
if you listen to this. Christ and I used to
thought that Mario and Luigi were real plumbers and they
just got their own video game as a time. I mean,
there may well be some plumbers called Mario and Luigi.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now, just now we were talking about Dave Allen.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Pats was talking about how terrified of were wolves was
because he had a running sketch the Dave Allen Show.
Dave Anon at Large was a brilliant show. He was
still doing stand up into a seventies. I saw him
about a year or two before he died. Incredible, one
of the best storytellers I've ever seen live. He did
(06:55):
this really cool thing. The last time I saw dave
An and Live was he said, I'm going to tell
you my last story and then I'm going to just
gonna buggle off. I'm done. I don't believe it encores.
I think they cheapen the whole thing. I think they
embarrassed you and I there won't be an on call.
This is my last story and then I'm done. Throughout
the whole show, he was famous for sitting in a chair.
We're just sit in a chair and tell stories, and
(07:16):
so throughout the whole show it's like two hours. It
was incredible. He kept having a little sip of whiskey.
He had a glass of whiskey, and he chained smoked
as well, and throughout the show he would top up
from his whiskey bottle. His whiskey. Anyway, he did his
last short story and it was brilliant. He walks off
stage and then about a minute later he comes back
on stage, and remember thinking, oh god, he's going to
do an encore. Just said he wouldn't. He simply just
(07:36):
picked up his whiskey bottle. He left on stage and
walk back. I don't know if it's the thing he
did every night but I remember thinking it's so good.
We found this clip from the late great Dave Allan.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I know the Irish have a funny way of talking
with the Australians have also funny.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
They add. I e onto a lot of work. I
was around Christmas and I said to a fellow, said,
what are you going to do on Christmas?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
He said, well, I'll think I'll get up Chrissy die.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
While had my bracky. I want to pick up the
couzie gus we did. He watch a game of foot.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
He had became a drink ease and then I'll come
home and have a yummy, yummy Christy Din Din.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He was sixty four years of age.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Lots of messages coming in were things that we used
to believe as a kid. Good Morning Christian. Growing up,
my brother convinced me that I was adopted. God Hi crawl.
It gets worse. I believed it's so much that I
made up a backstory that was from royalty and was
kidnapped as a baby. There was a lot of resentment
(08:43):
from young me for my family for taking me.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
From a life of wealth.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Chris, that's very funny. Christian. I used to believe the
EMUs were female and ostriches were male. I got the
shock of my life when I saw two ostriches mating.
Stay away from Chapel Street on a Saturday night. There
and if that shocks it, Darren. When I was chat
in primary school, I used to hear teachers talking about
the pigeon holes at the office. I thought there was
(09:14):
birds nesting in the school office. That's from Daz Christian.
As a kid, I was convinced the tooth Fairy was real.
I think it's all a phase in my life. We
were believing the tooth Fairy. I used to trick her
and pop the glass of water under my bed wake up,
and there was money in the glass. In primary school time,
someone told me that sucking on fruit stickers would make
me taller. I believe them, and after a full school
(09:36):
term I was sucking on stickers. I was finally tall
enough to reach the monkey bear.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I was talking about the terrifying TV show Tells
of the Unexpected, and it was like these awful kind
of drama a different story. Each Sunday used to be
on in the UK and it was obsessed with spontaneous combustion.
Every three episodes there'd be someone disappearing into a cloud
of smoke. Christian listened to this morning. I never thought
(10:04):
i'd hear that terrifying phrase tells it the unexpected.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
What have you done?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I'm terrified again. For a couple of years during primary school,
I actually thought I would burst into flames. That's from Meg,
that's from Meghan. Keep this coming. Then things used to
believe as a kid.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast, Good.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Morning, Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show. Christian.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Growing up, I used to think the brown cows made
chocolate milk. That's Michael Christian. I used to think that
the outback was just over the Mount Dand and Old Rangers.
The other side of that was just gonna be just
a desert. I love as soon as well from Michael
christianized to think that the emergency stopping lane on side
(10:50):
of the freeway said emergency shopping lane. My thinking was
as a kid that if your groceries fell over in
the car, you would pull over there to fix them
back up and put them back in the bag, because
I remember Mum had always used to put the groceries
on the back seat. I kept checking them, make sure
none fell over as well. We need to pull over.
It was only years later when I was learning to
(11:10):
drive records what it said. It's quite a difference there,
quite Adhererence Michael Joy, all right, every Thursday is to
kind of into the yang, a small thing, big rage
with these small thing, big joy today. Today it only
(11:30):
happens like once a year. I got into the shower,
perfect temperature, oh, no notes, no notes, no adjustment needed,
not too hot, not too cold. The other thing I
get such a bizarre amount of joy from. We've got
to stick vacuum. It's on these disons. You know, it's
got the sea through where.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All the muck goes in.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
When I see it or and I empty it, I
feel so good when I see there's dirt and dust
in there, and god, yeah, it's reassuring. It's something pleasing
about It pleases me that he's got dirt in there.
Years ago, vacuums it was all inside we didn't get
to see.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Now it wants us to know it's good work.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yes, you filthy humanoids, perhats he what's he for?
Speaker 2 (12:13):

that move before. You mustn't tell the listeners about it.
I need to hear about the iron Eagle. Stop. No,
when I go to bed again, I told you it
is that story about the Chinese whilbow. We must not
have it.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
I didn't mean to say that when I retire for
the evening. When I wake up, so I just drive.
Let me start again.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm actually getting cold swap.
Speaker 5 (12:45):

When I get home, I drive my car into the garage.
I don't back it in, right, I drive driving for

Speaker 9 (13:03):
When every morning I've woken up this week, he has
when I've gone to better of a night time reverse
the car in so that when I get up.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
It all just sounds like it's it's just sex code.
They're doing something like co to each other. No, I'll
back it in and you front envy and stop, guys show.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
It's actually a really sweet thing that he's doing.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That sounds so that.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
In the morning it's really easy for me to just
leave and it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
It sounds right, but it's just those little things that
he'll do.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
And if it's low on petrol, he'll go and top
it up, so I don't have to anyway, enough for
me move.

You're right, you like Michael Jordan three pointers. That's a
Richard Christian. When we were growing up, we used to
have to put blankets over from me mirrors on the
(16:09):
wall during thumbstorms. Mum told us that lightning was attracted
to mirrors. I've never I've never heard that. I read
thinking the Encyclopedia Britannica about that. Really we did this
three years not knowing any different. Christian growing up on
a farm. When I was at the club, was absolutely
(16:30):
sure that adults could somehow walk through fences. Was does
kids had to climb over them? I kept on trying
to figure out how they did this and wondered whether
whatever work out. This magic shortgum that's from Mercate Christian.

because that's a.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Story we had.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You know, sometimes she actually just happens in real life
where you go out just to get milk or some
basic groceries and then you see something or something's on
sell anything. Do you know what, I bloody get that
right now. That is a great deal. I'm making money.
Went out for milk, came back with the kayak. What's
your verse of that story? This happened to you this week?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Patch, Yes, yesterday I went to Ali for chicken fillts
for dinner and came out with an egg.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Chair, a lid chair for the backyard.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
We've been wanting one for ages and I just happened
to come across it and I thought, you know what,
that's coming home that's so comfortable.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Pat, So trouble is once you get in it, you
don't want to get out of it.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I can just see myself with a cup of tea
in a book every afternoon in the sun, and I
have booked it up. But the funny thing is, because
the box was rather big and very heavy and I
was on my own, I couldn't get it in the
car myself. So I said to them, I'll pay for it,
would you mind holding on to it? And I'll send
my husband back tonight to get it. So where we
love God went out to get it. Only I don't
(18:35):
know where I was in my headspace last night. He
thought when I said Aldi, naturally he would think our
closest Aldi, where we do most of our shopping. When
I'd actually got it sort of in the next suburb
because I happened to be there yesterday and I didn't
think to tell him.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So I got this, Patty, you do a day's work
and then you're going on some Audi pub card to
get a flip in twenty egg.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Chest so bad, and he goes, where is this?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Each year?
Speaker 9 (19:02):
I have been to three hours the first one, and
I was sure that I gave him the receipt, and
I thought that was okay, you know it had the story.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
Why would you know to check that? I was so silly.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Anyway, the first Aldi went to the extent of them
checking their video to see if it was sole an
egg Chaer that day because they had no them I know, right,
So I felt really.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Bad how she would have just course, this was.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
At eight o'clock last night. So anyway, he came home after.
Speaker 1 (19:33):

It was cute, yes, and a story perfect answer.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
You're quite right? Were they what you mean?
Speaker 11 (21:23):
I was in the shopping center in the days where
they still had pet shops, and it was it was
one little puppy. All the other puppies were jumping around
saying bye me. By me and this one little one
was sitting in the corner, say, I'm depressed. So I
took him home. And the sad thing was I fell
in love with him. But the minute he met my
(21:43):
daughter he was her dog, which.

Those old school pet shops, yeah they're not different times.
When was that moment where suddenly they weren't allowed to
just sell everything from tortoises to hamsters to guinea pa
dogs to cats to fish all in one small shop.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
That was the best part of going there. When you
went to stay Westfield with Mummy.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
As a kid, every Saturday you go run around the
pet shop. Yeah, it was always run by the grumpiest
people as well, because I knew you went there's no way,
