The red mic light is stuck on… permanently. So today’s show is being held together with duct tape.
It’s Monday Winners & Losers, Things That Make You Go Grrr & we played Baby Boomer movies in Timewasters. Plus, Christian’s glasses actually broke mid show after Patsy had just been celebrating her new ones.
All that, and somehow we stayed on air. Duct tape really does fix everything.

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
It's a chemist warehouse and save more money every year
on your regular medication with discount of prescriptions in every
store every day.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Right now I'm speaking to a microphone I could do
every morning. However, in radio, the one thing you always
look out for that keeps you safe and you know
you were as your compass is the red light. When
the red light is on, the microphone is live. The
only thing is that come in this morning and the
red microphone light was on red. So I thought, this
(00:58):
is a live hot mic be careful. No, it's just
permanently on now until after nine o'clock.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Very disconcernered.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
How she scary? So the engineer I thought the best
thing to do was to calm me is to duct
tape the red glowing light.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
It's not even fully duct taped over. This is very
ominous slither of red light.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So things are going to go well today. This is
a sign of the times we're in right now. It's
a four of something I'm not smart enough to know
what it is. But there's an actual that we're duck
taped to get on air today.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
This show is helding midway through.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Week six of the National Show. Anyway, Good morning, pats
Good morning everyone, Good morning, good morning, good morning, Alex,

Your Monday winner or loser?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Did sit loser? So got a new washing machine just
months ago, weeks ago anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And now the reason why we just need to remind
because might be some new listeners. Patsy, uh broke the door?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh yeah, pulled the door off it with her bare hair.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
She was actually smashing arrival's head in it.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
The door.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
How your friends doing in Mexico? The cartel that you
needed back out there, ol, Patso we drafted it outside
when it.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Came off with my hands, It's ridiculous anyway, So we
had to get a new one. So I got the
new one. Very happy with the new one. Only I
might have put my really thick bath mat in there
to wash like where else? How else are you meant
to wash a bath mat?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You've got to wash them.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Off your feet?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Right?
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Anyway, My husband came home yesterday and I said, I
think I've messed up the machine because now it won't drain.
It's telling me Era seven. It's like, why, why, what's
Era seven?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How have you used this bath mate?
Speaker 8 (02:42):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It's pretty fire, isn't.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
That huge one from Aldis. I've never seen such a
bath mate's and.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I love it, But I mean, how what do you
mean to take it out the back and hose it?
I donate, So it went in the washing machine and
my husband said, you can't shove that in there.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Now tell me this passage just because I want to know.
But did you have a little bit of the clothes
as well? So it's like overload and.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Drum towels and everything, right, And I thought, well, maybe
maybe I clean the filter, which with the front loader
is at that front little squary bit.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
So I've got a cheese knife, so I didn't scratch
it because it's you know, flat and nice and fat.
So I opened it up, and I stupidly unstated.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Anyone else cash that Pats has a cheese knife. In
my mind, I was just going through my cutlery drawer, going,
I don't have my cheese.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I don't want to say anything to seem I've got a.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Butter dish, but I don't have that cheese knife, not
to say, if get cheese knife.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
And I opened it up, and of course stupidly, why
did it? I opened it up because there was still
water in the drum, So then on the water came out.
Then I butted the laundry and then.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You've got to get the clean towels. It just washes,
start using it to dampen it down.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Such a waste, yes, exactly. So I've booked a service
call overnight, so please, I hope they come.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
When you start the week like that, you're just like,
that's the that'll be your story of the week.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
But you know, I used to put the old the
mate in the old machine, and like two mates at
a time.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I reckon washing machines used to be a lot tougher
back in the day.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
It's gone soft wash washing woke machine, no digital numbers.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It was like that big face just had on and
off and it used to weigh like fifty tons. You
didn't move, you just left that. You didn't move that thing.
It was huge, noisy old thing as well. You have
just a shout. It was like a plane taken off.
There it goes Alex, are you were Monday when you're
(04:42):
a loser your day yesterday?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I'm a loser as well. My WhatsApp group, parents WhatsApp group,
it's getting way out of control. I'm way behind. I'm
like one hundred and fifty messages behind and I'll never
ever catch up.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
What are we in now?
Speaker 8 (04:55):
End of February, I had like forty years started. I know,
I'd like forty eight unread messages on Monday alone.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It was just insane.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Were they all chattering on about who's got a pair
of spare bell? There's what time is the sky? I
do want to make genuinizations, but suddenly a lot of
dads are give me put a hit in that silence.
I don't deal with the ballet flats. I'm the secondary
contact on that emergency contact for.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
This is my husband.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He can't be trusting.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
No.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
I just watched it all go by on my phone
and like, when's the swimming carnival times? The swimming cannibal
that's like two months away. The swimming cannibals there over there.
Don't worry about the swimming carnival in two months time.
Worry about today or tomorrow okay, come on all.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Right, let us know are you're a Monday winner or loser.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Come on into Craig first half hourl Tuesday Show. We
always ask you how was your Monday? Would you say
you're a Monday winner or loser? Christian Monday winner? Ish
got my car back from the mechanic having three different
issues fixed. Now the tires went over the weekend. Does
the Bank of Christian want to help Craig? Is the
last week of it? Head to thegold website dot com
(06:11):
dot au fingers crossed, Christian, I am going to take
a more stories today about why were you in the
local paper? Yes, definitely this guy here messaging me at
ten pm Yester evening. I was in the local paper
at seventeen for being bitten by a pig hunting dog
at our local cemetery. There's so much going on here.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Sorry, go again.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
This is the best job of the world because these
are our listeners. Dear Christian, I was in the local
paper at age seventeen for being bitten by a pig
hunting dog. Already that bit's incredible. A pig hunting dog
at the local cemetery. So I'm guessing if you're at
the local cemetery, you are the work there or you're
in mourning and suddenly there's a rabid pig hunting dog.
(07:00):
Are there pigs at the cemetery?
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You pehunting?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know what is going on? The same dog tried
to attack the police when they went to speak to
the No.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
This made the paper bit I'd read that's true on
the loose.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You yes, the setting, the cemetery, the story. So much
going on here, a pig hunting dog. I didn't know
you you can train dogs? Aren't what they're looking for?
Pigs for the wild? Pigs foraging?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Breadful, isn't Weren't they like a good pig hunting dog?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Pitbulls?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yes, I think? Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I think they're so small.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
How could they take.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, aggressive, honey badger, don't let go. I don't mean
the guy from so I just remember what country people
go see the being that big guy in Ald guy.
He's not been Simon Anita. We all we have so
(08:03):
we we've got to get Simone on the show. Let's
call Simona. We need more off to seven on that,
I would say I'm a Monday loser, Like with you
pants on a washing machine. Something happens when you're grown
up and then you realize, I've got to do so
much research now to find this out. Apparently I didn't
realize in the teaser sea of my marriage. It's my
job now. If there are mosquitoes around the house, I'm
(08:25):
to research how to deter them. So I've tried the coil.
That citronella coil isn't doing enough. Yeah, no, these are
really persistent pants. So I do all that before we
go and sit outside. I light it for an hour.
It doesn't do enough. And so I started to go
on to Google yesterday. By the way, when you use
Google now and you don't feed it into like chatchy bit,
(08:48):
it feels quite old fashioned. Oh oh wait, Google, Sorry,
you think I'm going to read these twelve articles, why
don't you read them for me and then read it
back to me or prepare a report. And so I
went on there and it was just like it looked like.
And it's so hard to know whether the reviews are
legitimate today, But I found something called the pesterol dominator okay,
(09:09):
which sounds like something by its sexy land. But actually
it's apparently some kind of determined to mosquitoes. That's where. Yeah,
it's a plug in pass.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Yes, that sounds like absolute bollocks.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Now I've got tried before and that really didn't do
that much either. So actually what I need is what
people have actually used that works. Now, I don't know.
Maybe the pestor ole dominator works really well. If it does,
and you've got one and you actually used it and
it works, please let me know because I've got to
do something. We can't sell something, and they always don't.
At my wife, they're going for my blood.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Oh yes they do, like maybe it's your English blood.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well my wife has English blood as well. Why they
go for my true English Irish Indian blood. They like
a hybrid.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
My dad actually introduced a pond into their backyard as
a way of getting rid of mosquitoes, but it did backfire.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So he's I would think that's worth stagged water.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
He's theory is he'd put a mosquito eating fish that
would lure.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The mosquitoes the building. Old man got to leeds and
some apocalypse. Now seeing he's gone, Colonel Kurtz.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
They would eat the larvae, but then it actually is
just tripling.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
His own ecoss. There's too much ever, just get a machine.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
But now they've attracted a lot of bozzies and it's
a real problem for the house.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Speaking even thinking about it, they don't they breed around
stagnant water. So if anyone has got a hot tip
for me, please text me O four seventy five O
three one O four three. Rio. Are your Monday winter
or a loser?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I'm actually a winner. We moved into a new heir
you were.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
There's a light blinking by my head now I'm so
close to going home. I just don't to speak that.
It's like there's a strobe light above my head and
I'm trying to have a stroke.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
No, it's not you. It's still happening. It's very distracting.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh I like this. Wow, we ah, we just about
see you in the darkness now radio in the dark.
I think it's a bit more intimate. Yeah, I don't
know what it's going to look like. The video seats
on social media. Then I'm not paying their power bill.
(11:21):
Read the financial report this week? You know, Monday win
or loser a RN no Monday Winner or looser?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Rio, I have a Monday winter. We moved into a
new house at the end of last year, and we've
had a neighbor, an Italian Nona next to us. He's
our neighbor and she's just been sizing us up for
the past couple of months. A little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
We feed you in a big pot and blend you
up for posata, slighting you up. It's like it's about
ninety kilos into the salami yest lean beef, mince, yum
yum in my non no tummy. How do you think
you got the house? Where do you think the other
people went? In her big pot?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Ansl and Gretel sort of situations. Well, I finally I've finally,
after two months, I've cracked her because I.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Beg your pardon one from that's a very different phrase.
You've got missus Robinson situation going to there as don't
come if anana's rocking, don't come and knocking. That's what
I always mummy.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yes, it's not quite as exciting as that I brought
her bins in because she hadn't good done them for
a whole day.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well done, that's a good thing. That's a good and
neighborly thing to do.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Thank you, And now yesterday, she knocked on my door,
gave me a big hug, a double kiss on the cheek,
and three bottles of homemade posada.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Wheah.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
All the Italians are making posada at the moment.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, because we have that message on Friday. Yes, that
guy was saying that he was doing his year's worth
of posanta.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's the peak week for tomatoes. That's why they're so
cheap and so ripe at the moment. So all the
Italians are going over to each other's house and making
their year's worth of posada.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This is good. So you've got three bottles of this
holy grail kind of panta fresh. Have you tried it yet?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I haven't. I will cook it this week though.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, let me know your Monday win or loser. Also,
if you're an electrician and he can come to this
radio station. We're at the end times here.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast Now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A couple of weeks ago when it was a day
before Valentine's on a Friday, and we did a very
different thing for the people's playlist. We were taking your
love songs for your partners, someone spash in your life
and it was lovely reminded me of like how years
ago when we grew up listening to radio, where late
night radio love songs and dedications were a really, really
big thing. And what was nice is that obviously every
(13:37):
day doing this job, people are asking for songs. And
what was nice about that? So someone was asking for
a song that wasn't just for them to somebody else.
And so I love the idea of you requesting a
song for somebody else, And we're going to call this
play it forward. So if there's someone in your life,
it might be someone you work with and you want
to cheer them up, or they've had some good news,
(13:59):
or they're having a tough time, what a lovely thing
for them to hear about that You've got a song
played for them. Whatever that that song is, So play
it forward. What song do you wantus to play for?
Who you can call the show now? Thirteen fifty five
twenty two particip kadyin, You've got one?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
So I want to dedicate a song to a motorcyclist
that I saw yesterday, the most polite road rage I
have ever seen. So I pull up at the lights
on my way home from the gym, and the guy's
next to me they're also there, and then something catches
my eye and I look across and there's a motorcyclist
right next to them, and I hear him say, because
(14:37):
all of our windows are down, He goes, hey, mate,
I just wanted to let you know, please be mindful
of using your side mirrors because you may hit a motorcyclist.
So he obviously like ran into the lane that he
was in, and the bloke that he was saying it
to was a bit like at first, like, oh, well,
what's going on here, because you'd obviously done the mat thing,
(14:57):
expected bad road rage. But the guy was so lovely
and so eventually he was like, oh, okay, I'm sorry mate,
and they shook hands.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
And he drove off.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
CA. That's a Sharon story. I love that.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
It was the most beautiful thing. And I just sat
there and I thought, guys, we need to be more
like that on the road, because you know, we always,
and myself included.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Can be a bit road ragey.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
Yeah, but being reminded that you don't have to, you
can just you know, let people gently know, hey, let's
just be mindful of each.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Other on the roads, especially for motorcycles. You're right, those
those side mirrors are really important, really important.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Yeah, and the guy was just really understanding. The most
beautiful thing was the shake of the hands man.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, they wrote it genuinely conduct all right, So what's
the song? What's play it forward?
Speaker 9 (15:43):
For that?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Okay?
Speaker 9 (15:43):
So I want to play Aretha Franklin's Respect, all right?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So this is how play it Forward works? What would
you love us to play?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
And for who?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast, Things will make You Go Cool?
What small thing drives you mad? This happened yesterday. I
was in Willies. It's one of those pinheads who thinks
is okay for us also have to listen into their
dull conversation. Speaker phone is never on a low volume. No,
it's all the way up to eleven. And I read
(16:17):
research on this couple of weeks ago where it's more
infuriated to hear half a conversation than if it was
two people at full volume, because you can't your brain
wants to latch onto that and try and fill in
the gaps yes or he hear is them yes? Or
half the half evation, So you're not hearing the full conversation.
You're trying to work out even though, you irritate and
I could put my air pods in and listen to
(16:39):
a podcast. I can't. I'm suching's their dull vortex.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
You want to eavesdrop, but you can't, so you actually
double irritated.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And you could tell from what they were talking about
Trey either had said something up a few beers of
the barbecue or he hadn't.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
And what did he say? I need to know.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I almost wanted to follow this person around, just to
put the pieces together, follow them out of the car
part did what do you think? Did Trey say that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Really?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
After a couple of beers? This classic ray? That's so trade?
But what what is it? Because it's become a recent thing.
It's like suddenly we're all just meant to be okay
with the fact we're just background extras in this movie.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No, I couldn't do it self conscious.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
People to have a chat to them, hold it up
to your here like it the system, what normal person?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
And nothing I've got to say would be of interest
to any other person in this world?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Do you know what I mean? Radio?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Why do you think a moment of self awareness?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
My conversations are always did you remember to feed the
dog or could you put the wash?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Where are my glasses?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Where are my glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
By the way, Pats is very excited. She's modeling you glasses.
They they do look really good.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Love them.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
She's going around to every team member going do you
like my glasses? In a way where there's only one
answer and it's take to do. It's still like you
like my glasses? Thanks? And they are they are really cool. Person,
I said, perhaps, where do you get the promish? Got
a guy, Ray? Pats has a dealer everything. Everything you do,
everything in life, she has a dealer for She's got
(18:15):
a glasses guy.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Yeah, he's brilliant.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Ray Man.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Ray looks after me.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Can you hook the rest of us up?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You know? His faith? All right? Small thing, big raised?
What is it for you?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
The Christian o'connall Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We began the show with duct tape around this microphone
because it's permanently glowing red. Red means the microphone is hot.
It's live. But at the moment, even when it's not on,
it's on. So they just put rather than mend it.
So we'll do that later today if they have lunch
or brunch down and do it. It's quiet. We do
(18:53):
it when it's quite for us. Actually, we just talking
about your glass guy, Ray in new glasses and go
into the ambreak my glasses and arm just cheers off it.
Sheeres off. So now I've had to get the engineer's
duct tape to duct tape an arm on, you know,
as that kid was always getting bullied at school and
(19:15):
he's always had one arm of his classes. Harry Potter,
it's a sad I had to duct take my own
glass arm on. I need I need Ray.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
He was or fourth trying to look for the square
on the.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Class and we always keep that quiet, you know, that
little truffle pig game we playing. Anyhow, I've had to
send a team member out now to a servo to
go and get your generic plus two fives. They always
look really snazzy as well. You're going to come back
with a pair of dame edness for me. I've got
a two hours of show to don't work other than that.
(19:57):
As we enter week six on the New National Show,
it's going very very well. So well, you've got to
hook me up with Ray, your class guy. I will
do Christian things. Makes me go girl when the plane
lands and people stand up straight away.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I'm sorry, No, what coming.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Myself? No, I can stay sad. But I see one
dude get up there. I don't getting up too, buddy.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I would say, you're allowed to get up as long
as you're not moving forward in front of the sea.
That's where I hold the line. If you hold on
the line, on.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The line, the doors aren't even open. You can't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
You look silly, and you do because it's actually it's
the roof is so small.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Cranky neck thing, the beep, and then obviously then sometimes
you become the guy that's suddenly then bringing out everyone's
things in the overhead luggage. You know, see some guy
looking at Oh, if you got my briefcass, God, it's
yours and finding behind you, Christian. When the little cars
park in the trailer parking at Bunnings, So I'm going
(21:02):
to take my trailer halfway to Darwin in order to
find a double part. There's plenty of single car parks.
Please use one of them small cars. There's only four
or five Trader park base and it's our job to
use those. That is true, Gwen. When you notice Christian
that spiders rented the space in the side mirror of
your car and now every morning for the next month,
(21:23):
you have to remove the bloody cobwebs.
Speaker 5 (21:24):

can't read it. And then in order to reply to it,
because you haven't got a text of it, you have
to go back and listen to it and make notes.

That's because you've got an old phone there an Android
the rest of us.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
It just gives you the message, the transcriptions there you go. No,
it takes too much time.

Total you please, slippers on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Chris, Christian. Things make me go mad is when people
do forty in a sixty Why?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Why?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Christian? What makes you go go is by the way,
walk into a cobweb is like when you get a
piece of hair, one single small piece of hair in
your mouth that will take a lifetime to get that
bastard out. It comes to Michael Strong strong, Michael, But
I know what you mean. It is. It's a lifetime.
It's a lifetime. Tea tree oil on a cotton bud,

What's the things that make you googur amte?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Absolutely despise When you've got the car in reverse, pretty
obvious that you're a and you'll get a pedestrian that
walks directly behind your car.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like what is that either on their phone in their head?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
D walkers You're supposed to technically wait for them, No, no, no,
but they know, come on.

The driver supposed a bit of a looking why don't
we why.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Don't we both? Why don't we co exist together in
this world? Some looking around and it's normally people of
your generation, and I actually think, you know, let's then
the herd.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Out have a bit of self awareness. You can be
sticking halfway out of park and they it's like, well,
I'm sorry, I didn't know you had the right of way.
You're right halfway out the park. You watch out for them.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's the one that draws you where they know you're
moving and they're still just carry a walking.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Still walk directly behind the currents. So dangerous.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, no, it is just because people people are so
not aware of what's going around them. The other one
party peoples the same doing that. The sort of day
walkers are the ones that'll be walking down the pavement
and they just stop behind you. You know, before you stop,
you know, you just maybe slow down, you merge over
to the side and then let go. Let you just
(26:26):
be a night of the pavement, That's what I am.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Or people that walk like two or three are breast
in the pavement, so you can't get part of the
no I do.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well, then you've got to walk into the roads. Yes,
we go over a car just to get past you, guys,
because you're dawdling.

If you're going to do that, you have to set
a fierce pace. Wise you're just ring one behind.

local paper when the American astronaut Charlie Duke came to
(27:44):
their school. We were slightly laid into the special Assembly
Jim the special assemblies at school. We got taken out
to the front of the school to a photo with him.
He'd walked on the moon. He's even mentioned in the
movie Apollo thirteen. Charlie Juke's got measles. He never went
on that mission because he got measles. His kids got
measles from a children's party, which meant he couldn't go
(28:06):
on that mission oh my, because one of the the
astronauts didn't have immunity, so he had to stay behind.
But then he went years later. I think space fans
correct me if I'm wrong. Apollo sixteen or seventeen, Charlie,
you got to go up there and land on the moon.
Christian made the local paper about home in Tazzi Princess Diana.
I gave Princess Diana a bunch of flowers and a
(28:27):
little koala for baby Prince William on their first royal
tour to Australia, and then a couple of weeks later
I got a letter from Princess Diana written by her
lady in waiting. So I ended up back in the
local paper the second time to deal with that Dinah
thing holding the letter. Wow, Nathan, mt'st be quite newsweek
(28:47):
in that local newspaper. When I was fifteen, I caught
a fish by hand, made it into local. That's quite

genius egghead smashes test early. That's the headline, isn't it, Christian?
(29:33):
This is some simone. We're trying to get hold of someone.
We have so many questions. This was waiting for us
to start the show. I was in a local paper
at the age of saying seventeen being bitten by a
pig hunting dog at our local cemetery. Wis your story

going on with the pig hunting dog? And you're at

the police when they went to speak to the owner.
Finn I was about seven years old and got into
local newspaper for putting my arm in one of those
clown machines that they have at all the festivals where
we have to put the ball in the mouth. So
did he get it stuck or you just completed it?
Final boss level. In my mind, this kid's got wedged.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yes, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
The fire brigade.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Years ago being at London's busiest train station, London Waterloo, right,
and there was a scene around some poor guy. There
was one of these vending machines and you know that,
trying to get the cans out of the chips out
of them, and it was one of those that was
quite low down. This guy had got his arms stuck
there and so he'd obviously been there fast. So he's
(30:46):
lying on the floor with his arm stuck in this machine.
The police are there chatting to him and I obviously,
you know what, you want to know what's going on.
So you starts saying to people outside how long has
he been? He's been here apparently apparently he's been there
an hour. And then I moved forward. I said to
last why don't you just break the machine? They went,
it's illegal, sir, it's private property. It's illegal to break
(31:07):
one of those vending machines. Had they were waiting for
the fibergate to turn out with an axe to cut
him out. But the fiber gate they've got a specials
to smatch him out with an axe. Of course, everyone's
filming this poor dude, just give us a businessman in
like a shirt and tie fie there with his arm.

It's all the tide is against us today. On the show, Christian,
my wife won a wedding package had a photo in
the local paper. That's great. I love the story from
Connie Christian. I was in the paper when John Farnham
came to visit me in hospital. I was in the
school choir but it was in a car accident day
before and couldn't attend. He came to visit me and
sat in my hospital bed and we had a photo
(32:32):
taken for the local paper. Connie, what a gorgeous story, Christian.
I was a local paper when I was sixteen, I'd
written to local council really angry at the state of
the paintwork on the obelisk. It's not going on for
sixteen year old lad. Isn't it an icon in the
tourism area here. My letter made it to the front page.
The obelisk got painted shortly afterwards. I love that Michelle
(32:57):
concerned young residents and this is an epic one. Christian
I was in the local paper riding a tandem bike
with people of a certain age. Will understand what a
big moment this was for a young kid. With bill
Odie from the Goodies. Christian I was dressed as Timbrook
(33:19):
Taylor from the Goodies. We rode around fed Square in Melbourne.
Phil said to me, please don't crash, young man. We
had some really bad ones.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
A few years ago.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
What did he means was he kids can't ride a
tag though with one of the legendary Goodies that is.

a picture of us in the local paper. We'll have
our backs anyway, lined up at the urinal with the
Premier John Kaine at the time, and.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Anyone else nervous at this called Prince Andrew was visiting

a toilet block at the primary school and we all
lined up there and christened it.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
This is incredible, This isn't This is a new front
runner for the best one, m J. The local toilet

Good morning.
Speaker 10 (35:44):
How are you, Christian?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I'm good Janelle. Welcome to the show as well. Now, Janelle,
what's your story about? Make it into your local paper.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I was in the Sydney Morning Ferald because I
was the first person to breakdown in the Sydney Harbor
Tunnel ten minutes after it opened.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
What claim to fame.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
My husband and I were in the car and we
ran out of fuel, run out of petrol. He driven
through a petrol station in my lovely old Kingslet and
we had our dog Arrow in the back seat, and
Arrow was the first dog to go through, first paying
customer at about three fifteen in the morning of the
(36:27):
Sydney Harbor tunneled back in August in ninety two.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is incredible. So it's two first first person break
down and first dog to go through as well. That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And it was funny because it was in column mate.
And when we got towed out, it was the tow
truck's birth the tow trucky's birthday that day, and he
was over the moon and we got towed to waterloo.
So in the paper it just said that we got
bowed to the loo to be a bribe.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
What scenes.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I will say it was one of the highlights of
my life because it was like a party. This is
before children at about three ten in the morning on
the north side heading down into the tunnel, and I
was in about the first twenty people, and it got
around that it was going to open. So it was
kind of an exciting thing back when you're twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
An incredible story and it's immortalized forever in the local newspaper.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yes, I've even got it on video, which I discovered.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Did you make it onto the news?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
No, we were videoing it. We had the video camera
with us, and I'd forgotten about this tape and I
had a transferred.
Speaker 10 (37:43):
And here's my husband feeling about who should have put
the petrol? I were fitting up there and I remember going,
it's not in parks.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Should I put it in.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
And this is all you two bickering is all caught
on camera on tape.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
My husband was filming. I think he thought it was
hilarious that I was having this bit of a free cat.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Also, those those home sort of camcorders weused back in
when you I think you said in the nineties ninety
two that would have been a big a big camera
as well.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Ah, it wasn't too there, but yes they were petite,
that's for sure, not like without your mobile phone these days.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah. Yeah, brilliant story, Tonel.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
That's my story.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah, that is a great story. I'm going to send
you two hundred and fifty dollars suspend at Chemist Warehouse.
Fantastic story. Thanks for sharing. Oh wow, thank you very
much and thanks welcome. Thanks forgiving the show ago in
Sydney as well. You know what we should talk to
me on the show about things that you've still got
on video cassette. Oh yeah, like that, I know obviously
something you know everyone that our video because we got
(38:50):
married in nineteen ninety eight, so we were given the
video of it and then we transferred to the DVD
and now it's a thumb drive and all that. But
some people still have video cassettes with things that are
still recording on there. I bet those old TV shows
that people have still got on video cassettes that they
don't want to. We still my wife still has a
video the video, actual video cassette of when she did
(39:13):
bungee jumping in nineteen ninety seven. Wow.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
Yes, how many times you guys have been watching that one?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
At too many times?
Speaker 3 (39:21):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Christian was on page three of the local newspaper because
I married someone with the same surname. There's a headline
in breeding. No, not at all. What are the odds?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
What are the odds? Everyone in the wedding party also
had the same surname, of course, except for two in
both ours adds unnamed Joe gin fact. A lot of
the phrase gin fat by the way I think you,
I think you mean good fact, but gin fact is
great for us, like one. After a couple of gins,
she started coming up with the facts. We got maded
on the same day as Simon O'Donnell, the cricketer who
(40:02):
appeared on the same page, but a much smaller black
and white photo than our massive color pick and Colleena
sent me the evidence. She just send me a screenshot it.
He's got didny tiny photo. Yours is huge because someone's
married someone with the same hold the front page, Christian.
(40:24):
We were in our local newspaper for being average after
the census. We're putting the paper under the heading just
your average Joe's come. That's so cruel. We were a
married couple of forties with a mortgage, two kids, and
a golden Retriever. All my husband's mate started calling him
(40:45):
average Joe. No tomorrow on the show, how do you
get that nickname? Average? Jokes? He's reborn? Is he in
his forties? Do you think you're too old to get
a nickname? No?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Average show, There's actually nothing special about you at all.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
You are bang on. Fact is a news story. How
average your averageness is of newsworthy consequence? Christian. I was
in the local paper introducing me as a directory grim.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
Oh you'll get to know this. Buy some of you oldies,
don't you worry?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Christian. The cast of Neighbors came to the local library.
I worked in the eighties, so that was on the
front page, and there was all this pushing and screaming
from girls going why would they do like a I
think at the local life someone doing a research problem
and something. There's a photo shoot with the cast of
neighbors screaming fans and I love this one from Brook
(41:38):
Campbell Christian. My dad made it into local paper. But
because he got the last hole in one of the
Millennium at Ballona golf Course December nineteen ninety nine. There
was so much fear and interest about the countdown to
the millennium and the Millennium bug, when things were going
to drop out the skies and there was just so
(41:59):
much fear about the water. Do you remembers to call
the Y two K bar? Yeah, all that fear now.
Ten minutes ago we were chatting to a lady and
she was talking about how she was one of the
first people to drive in the tunnel under Sydney Harbor
and she broke down. But they were filming this trip
because it was the opening of the tunnel. And also
thinking about the things that you still own on video cassette,
(42:20):
whether or not you've even got a VCR or a
VHS recorder, you still got videotapes.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
Yeah, my parents still have a VCR player at their home,
which I'm not sure if they use. But they've got
a big chest of VCRs of old videos and I
was going through it when I was back home. They
got their own home Blockbuster, Yes literally the last one.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
You usually want to buy these things, right, People possible
used to have their own TV shows they recorded or
whatever inside fake leather covers to make it look like
they had a row of encyclopedias. And they just have
like an illegal copy of Rambo like leather and bossed
Encyclopedia Britannicas.
Speaker 5 (42:57):
Oh you're so well rung.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Oh my, what a learned man. Let me just get
short circuited out Steve Gunberg's new one.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
And I used to be obsessed with cricket. I was
a complete cricket uf as a kid, and I used
to tape entire days of Test match.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
What forward winded to get to the interesting bits.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
We still have the whole nineteen ninety nine India Versus
Australia series with all the old ads, all the old commentary.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I bet it's quite Have you ever played it back
in the last couple of years? No, I should, I should.
We got to get some of that audio. Yeah, commentary
was so different then.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Yeah, very different. If you stopped it for the ads.
Did you forget to stop it for the ads?
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I would love to hear the adverts. Yes, Patsy, what
have you got you tropp me someone? You must have
some video cassettes, a whole cupboard for first news bulletins.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
No, not first news bulletins. But I have got I
used to do in a previous life.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
I was a.
Speaker 6 (43:53):
Scottish Highland dancer and I have every.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Single my dad a really successful one. You want a
lot of title.
Speaker 5 (44:00):
Yeah, I was state champion, middleweight champion at one, double
champ and my.
Speaker 6 (44:05):
Dad has every single competition that I danced. It from
a about the age of I don't know, eleven or
twelve right up to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Did he have the video comany?
Speaker 6 (44:14):
We had the video?
Speaker 1 (44:14):
They were they were rare. It was nothing that everybody had.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
It was very big, bulky, like a tank on his shoulder.
Speaker 6 (44:22):
He'd be standing there behind the charge in he be
and we look back on it, and you know, my
teacher would go through it and what I was doing wrong,
what I could do better? And I've still got it,
still got it?
Speaker 1 (44:33):
And can you hear your dad's voice on it? Because
sometimes you ever heard yourself back on those videos you recorded.
You said, oh my god, what is that breathy voice? Good?
I've got ones like sports days like who the hell?
Wait that's me? Who could listen to that guy the good?
And then say.
Speaker 5 (44:50):

Speaker 3 (44:54):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
What have you still got on video cassettes? This really
is going down memory lane? Christian. Thirty years ago, my
nan and popped at me to a as a baby
too movie world on the Gold Coast when Pop recorded
a green screen video of himself flying through the sky
dressed as Superman. What a legend. It was set to
the main Superman theme and there's a moment where he
(45:17):
looks a waves directly to me off camera. The theme
chods the theme song just now brings a wave of emotion.
Nostalgia makes me call Pop every single time. What a
great memory story. I love that. Good Morning, Christiana's Carmen.
Here I have on video tape of me and a
friend on Hey Hey, it's Saturday. It's hidden away because
it's so embarrassed and my kids have never even seen it.
(45:40):
I'm leaving it in my will. They can play it
at the funeral wake. Until then, you're not saying that
what happened on that, Carmen, Well, we know what happened
on some of the a very different time. Any who, Christian,
we are rather the police actually want that video, because Christian,
(46:03):

Show in the many eighties. He's on VHS. He was

trying to prove to me he was the rightful winner.
We still have to watch the footage every now and then.

the injustice. Was a third date after that, Oh my god,

It's a chemist warehouse and save more money every year
on your regular medication with discount of prescriptions in every
store every day.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Right now I'm speaking to a microphone I could do
every morning. However, in radio, the one thing you always
look out for that keeps you safe and you know
you were as your compass is the red light. When
the red light is on, the microphone is live. The
only thing is that come in this morning and the
red microphone light was on red. So I thought, this
(00:58):
is a live hot mic be careful. No, it's just
permanently on now until after nine o'clock.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Very disconcernered.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
How she scary? So the engineer I thought the best
thing to do was to calm me is to duct
tape the red glowing light.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
It's not even fully duct taped over. This is very
ominous slither of red light.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So things are going to go well today. This is
a sign of the times we're in right now. It's
a four of something I'm not smart enough to know
what it is. But there's an actual that we're duck
taped to get on air today.

Your Monday winner or loser?

months ago, weeks ago anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And now the reason why we just need to remind
because might be some new listeners. Patsy, uh broke the door?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh yeah, pulled the door off it with her bare hair.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
She was actually smashing arrival's head in it.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
The door.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
How your friends doing in Mexico? The cartel that you
needed back out there, ol, Patso we drafted it outside
when it.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Came off with my hands, It's ridiculous anyway, So we
had to get a new one. So I got the
new one. Very happy with the new one. Only I
might have put my really thick bath mat in there
to wash like where else? How else are you meant
to wash a bath mat?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You've got to wash them.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Off your feet?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Right?
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Anyway, My husband came home yesterday and I said, I
think I've messed up the machine because now it won't drain.
It's telling me Era seven. It's like, why, why, what's
Era seven?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How have you used this bath mate?
Speaker 8 (02:42):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It's pretty fire, isn't.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
That huge one from Aldis. I've never seen such a
bath mate's and.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I love it, But I mean, how what do you
mean to take it out the back and hose it?
I donate, So it went in the washing machine and
my husband said, you can't shove that in there.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Now tell me this passage just because I want to know.
But did you have a little bit of the clothes
as well? So it's like overload and.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Drum towels and everything, right, And I thought, well, maybe
maybe I clean the filter, which with the front loader
is at that front little squary bit.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
So I've got a cheese knife, so I didn't scratch
it because it's you know, flat and nice and fat.
So I opened it up, and I stupidly unstated.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Anyone else cash that Pats has a cheese knife. In
my mind, I was just going through my cutlery drawer, going,
I don't have my cheese.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I don't want to say anything to seem I've got a.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Butter dish, but I don't have that cheese knife, not
to say, if get cheese knife.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
And I opened it up, and of course stupidly, why
did it? I opened it up because there was still
water in the drum, So then on the water came out.
Then I butted the laundry and then.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You've got to get the clean towels. It just washes,
start using it to dampen it down.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Such a waste, yes, exactly. So I've booked a service
call overnight, so please, I hope they come.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
When you start the week like that, you're just like,
that's the that'll be your story of the week.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
But you know, I used to put the old the
mate in the old machine, and like two mates at
a time.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I reckon washing machines used to be a lot tougher
back in the day.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
It's gone soft wash washing woke machine, no digital numbers.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It was like that big face just had on and
off and it used to weigh like fifty tons. You
didn't move, you just left that. You didn't move that thing.
It was huge, noisy old thing as well. You have
just a shout. It was like a plane taken off.
There it goes Alex, are you were Monday when you're
(04:42):
a loser your day yesterday?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I'm a loser as well. My WhatsApp group, parents WhatsApp group,
it's getting way out of control. I'm way behind. I'm
like one hundred and fifty messages behind and I'll never
ever catch up.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
What are we in now?
Speaker 8 (04:55):
End of February, I had like forty years started. I know,
I'd like forty eight unread messages on Monday alone.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It was just insane.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Were they all chattering on about who's got a pair
of spare bell? There's what time is the sky? I
do want to make genuinizations, but suddenly a lot of
dads are give me put a hit in that silence.
I don't deal with the ballet flats. I'm the secondary
contact on that emergency contact for.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
This is my husband.
Speaker 6 (05:27):

always ask you how was your Monday? Would you say
you're a Monday winner or loser? Christian Monday winner? Ish
got my car back from the mechanic having three different
issues fixed. Now the tires went over the weekend. Does
the Bank of Christian want to help Craig? Is the
last week of it? Head to thegold website dot com
(06:11):
dot au fingers crossed, Christian, I am going to take
a more stories today about why were you in the
local paper? Yes, definitely this guy here messaging me at
ten pm Yester evening. I was in the local paper
at seventeen for being bitten by a pig hunting dog
at our local cemetery. There's so much going on here.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Sorry, go again.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
This is the best job of the world because these
are our listeners. Dear Christian, I was in the local
paper at age seventeen for being bitten by a pig
hunting dog. Already that bit's incredible. A pig hunting dog
at the local cemetery. So I'm guessing if you're at
the local cemetery, you are the work there or you're
in mourning and suddenly there's a rabid pig hunting dog.
(07:00):
Are there pigs at the cemetery?
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You pehunting?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know what is going on? The same dog tried
to attack the police when they went to speak to
the No.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
This made the paper bit I'd read that's true on
the loose.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You yes, the setting, the cemetery, the story. So much
going on here, a pig hunting dog. I didn't know
you you can train dogs? Aren't what they're looking for?
Pigs for the wild? Pigs foraging?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Breadful, isn't Weren't they like a good pig hunting dog?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Pitbulls?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yes, I think? Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I think they're so small.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
How could they take.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, aggressive, honey badger, don't let go. I don't mean
the guy from so I just remember what country people
go see the being that big guy in Ald guy.
He's not been Simon Anita. We all we have so
(08:03):
we we've got to get Simone on the show. Let's
call Simona. We need more off to seven on that,
I would say I'm a Monday loser, Like with you
pants on a washing machine. Something happens when you're grown
up and then you realize, I've got to do so
much research now to find this out. Apparently I didn't
realize in the teaser sea of my marriage. It's my
job now. If there are mosquitoes around the house, I'm
(08:25):
to research how to deter them. So I've tried the coil.
That citronella coil isn't doing enough. Yeah, no, these are
really persistent pants. So I do all that before we
go and sit outside. I light it for an hour.
It doesn't do enough. And so I started to go
on to Google yesterday. By the way, when you use
Google now and you don't feed it into like chatchy bit,
(08:48):
it feels quite old fashioned. Oh oh wait, Google, Sorry,
you think I'm going to read these twelve articles, why
don't you read them for me and then read it
back to me or prepare a report. And so I
went on there and it was just like it looked like.
And it's so hard to know whether the reviews are
legitimate today, But I found something called the pesterol dominator okay,
(09:09):
which sounds like something by its sexy land. But actually
it's apparently some kind of determined to mosquitoes. That's where. Yeah,
it's a plug in pass.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Yes, that sounds like absolute bollocks.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Now I've got tried before and that really didn't do
that much either. So actually what I need is what
people have actually used that works. Now, I don't know.
Maybe the pestor ole dominator works really well. If it does,
and you've got one and you actually used it and
it works, please let me know because I've got to
do something. We can't sell something, and they always don't.
At my wife, they're going for my blood.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Oh yes they do, like maybe it's your English blood.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well my wife has English blood as well. Why they
go for my true English Irish Indian blood. They like
a hybrid.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
My dad actually introduced a pond into their backyard as
a way of getting rid of mosquitoes, but it did backfire.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So he's I would think that's worth stagged water.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
He's theory is he'd put a mosquito eating fish that
would lure.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The mosquitoes the building. Old man got to leeds and
some apocalypse. Now seeing he's gone, Colonel Kurtz.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
They would eat the larvae, but then it actually is
just tripling.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
His own ecoss. There's too much ever, just get a machine.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
But now they've attracted a lot of bozzies and it's
a real problem for the house.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Speaking even thinking about it, they don't they breed around
stagnant water. So if anyone has got a hot tip
for me, please text me O four seventy five O
three one O four three. Rio. Are your Monday winter
or a loser?
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I'm actually a winner. We moved into a new heir

Speaker 1 (10:43):
There's a light blinking by my head now I'm so
close to going home. I just don't to speak that.
It's like there's a strobe light above my head and
I'm trying to have a stroke.
Speaker 5 (10:53):

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh I like this. Wow, we ah, we just about

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Rio, I have a Monday winter. We moved into a
new house at the end of last year, and we've
had a neighbor, an Italian Nona next to us. He's
our neighbor and she's just been sizing us up for
the past couple of months. A little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
We feed you in a big pot and blend you
up for posata, slighting you up. It's like it's about
ninety kilos into the salami yest lean beef, mince, yum
yum in my non no tummy. How do you think
you got the house? Where do you think the other
people went? In her big pot?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Ansl and Gretel sort of situations. Well, I finally I've finally,
after two months, I've cracked her because I.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Beg your pardon one from that's a very different phrase.
You've got missus Robinson situation going to there as don't
come if anana's rocking, don't come and knocking. That's what
I always mummy.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yes, it's not quite as exciting as that I brought
her bins in because she hadn't good done them for
a whole day.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well done, that's a good thing. That's a good and
neighborly thing to do.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Thank you, And now yesterday, she knocked on my door,
gave me a big hug, a double kiss on the cheek,
and three bottles of homemade posada.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Wheah.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
All the Italians are making posada at the moment.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, because we have that message on Friday. Yes, that
guy was saying that he was doing his year's worth
of posanta.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's the peak week for tomatoes. That's why they're so
cheap and so ripe at the moment. So all the
Italians are going over to each other's house and making
their year's worth of posada.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This is good. So you've got three bottles of this
holy grail kind of panta fresh. Have you tried it yet?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I haven't. I will cook it this week though.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, let me know your Monday win or loser. Also,
if you're an electrician and he can come to this
radio station. We're at the end times here.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast Now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
A couple of weeks ago when it was a day
before Valentine's on a Friday, and we did a very
different thing for the people's playlist. We were taking your
love songs for your partners, someone spash in your life
and it was lovely reminded me of like how years
ago when we grew up listening to radio, where late
night radio love songs and dedications were a really, really
big thing. And what was nice is that obviously every
(13:37):
day doing this job, people are asking for songs. And
what was nice about that? So someone was asking for
a song that wasn't just for them to somebody else.
And so I love the idea of you requesting a
song for somebody else, And we're going to call this
play it forward. So if there's someone in your life,
it might be someone you work with and you want
to cheer them up, or they've had some good news,
(13:59):
or they're having a tough time, what a lovely thing
for them to hear about that You've got a song
played for them. Whatever that that song is, So play
it forward. What song do you wantus to play for?
Who you can call the show now? Thirteen fifty five
twenty two particip kadyin, You've got one?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
So I want to dedicate a song to a motorcyclist
that I saw yesterday, the most polite road rage I
have ever seen. So I pull up at the lights
on my way home from the gym, and the guy's
next to me they're also there, and then something catches
my eye and I look across and there's a motorcyclist
right next to them, and I hear him say, because
(14:37):
all of our windows are down, He goes, hey, mate,
I just wanted to let you know, please be mindful
of using your side mirrors because you may hit a motorcyclist.
So he obviously like ran into the lane that he
was in, and the bloke that he was saying it
to was a bit like at first, like, oh, well,
what's going on here, because you'd obviously done the mat thing,
(14:57):
expected bad road rage. But the guy was so lovely
and so eventually he was like, oh, okay, I'm sorry mate,
and they shook hands.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
And he drove off.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
CA. That's a Sharon story. I love that.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
It was the most beautiful thing. And I just sat
there and I thought, guys, we need to be more
like that on the road, because you know, we always,
and myself included.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Can be a bit road ragey.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
Yeah, but being reminded that you don't have to, you
can just you know, let people gently know, hey, let's
just be mindful of each.

The Christian O'Connell show podcast, Things will make You Go Cool?
What small thing drives you mad? This happened yesterday. I
was in Willies. It's one of those pinheads who thinks
is okay for us also have to listen into their
dull conversation. Speaker phone is never on a low volume. No,
it's all the way up to eleven. And I read
(16:17):
research on this couple of weeks ago where it's more
infuriated to hear half a conversation than if it was
two people at full volume, because you can't your brain
wants to latch onto that and try and fill in
the gaps yes or he hear is them yes? Or
half the half evation, So you're not hearing the full conversation.
You're trying to work out even though, you irritate and
I could put my air pods in and listen to
(16:39):
a podcast. I can't. I'm suching's their dull vortex.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
You want to eavesdrop, but you can't, so you actually
double irritated.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And you could tell from what they were talking about
Trey either had said something up a few beers of
the barbecue or he hadn't.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
And what did he say? I need to know.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I almost wanted to follow this person around, just to
put the pieces together, follow them out of the car
part did what do you think? Did Trey say that?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Really?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
After a couple of beers? This classic ray? That's so trade?
But what what is it? Because it's become a recent thing.
It's like suddenly we're all just meant to be okay
with the fact we're just background extras in this movie.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No, I couldn't do it self conscious.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
People to have a chat to them, hold it up
to your here like it the system, what normal person?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
And nothing I've got to say would be of interest
to any other person in this world?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Do you know what I mean? Radio?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Why do you think a moment of self awareness?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
My conversations are always did you remember to feed the
dog or could you put the wash?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Where are my glasses?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Where are my glasses?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
By the way, Pats is very excited. She's modeling you glasses.

The Christian o'connall Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We began the show with duct tape around this microphone
because it's permanently glowing red. Red means the microphone is hot.
It's live. But at the moment, even when it's not on,
it's on. So they just put rather than mend it.
So we'll do that later today if they have lunch
or brunch down and do it. It's quiet. We do
(18:53):
it when it's quite for us. Actually, we just talking
about your glass guy, Ray in new glasses and go
into the ambreak my glasses and arm just cheers off it.
Sheeres off. So now I've had to get the engineer's
duct tape to duct tape an arm on, you know,
as that kid was always getting bullied at school and
(19:15):
he's always had one arm of his classes. Harry Potter,
it's a sad I had to duct take my own
glass arm on. I need I need Ray.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Myself? No, I can stay sad. But I see one
dude get up there. I don't getting up too, buddy.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I would say, you're allowed to get up as long
as you're not moving forward in front of the sea.
That's where I hold the line. If you hold on
the line, on.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The line, the doors aren't even open. You can't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
You look silly, and you do because it's actually it's
the roof is so small.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Cranky neck thing, the beep, and then obviously then sometimes
you become the guy that's suddenly then bringing out everyone's
things in the overhead luggage. You know, see some guy
looking at Oh, if you got my briefcass, God, it's
yours and finding behind you, Christian. When the little cars
park in the trailer parking at Bunnings, So I'm going

who is who does this a lot? But people that
send very long voice notes on WhatsApp because you're left hostage.
To say, a four or five minute message, you have
to listen to You can't just skim through it, you
can't read it. And then in order to reply to it,
because you haven't got a text of it, you have
to go back and listen to it and make notes.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's because you've got an old phone there an Android
the rest of us.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
It just gives you the message, the transcriptions there you go. No,
it takes too much time.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Because you've got one of those cheap ass green phones.
Oh you've got a Poro phone. It's your plain snake.
During that thing, you've got to go through those five
or six letters. Why is it all? TV is going
to go pitch your password in. Oh great, we've got
one of these old school Nokia Alex will sit for you.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Small things, just the words moving or going forward at
the end of a sentence. We don't need it, so
management speak, isn't it. It's the word I'll give an example.
Really want to change things up this year going forward?

Yes, I hear it in sport all the time. Big
season ahead, moving forward. You're right, going forward. We want

If we want to do that, we can't respect more

be some moment we're going to start going backwards. And
that's when where no samul ship from us that rebuilding.

Christian thing that makes me go gir telling my kids

me and then cry half an hour when they step
on something or stub their toes.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Total you please, slippers on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Chris, Christian. Things make me go mad is when people
do forty in a sixty Why?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Why?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Christian? What makes you go go is by the way,
walk into a cobweb is like when you get a
piece of hair, one single small piece of hair in
your mouth that will take a lifetime to get that
bastard out. It comes to Michael Strong strong, Michael, But
I know what you mean. It is. It's a lifetime.
It's a lifetime. Tea tree oil on a cotton bud,

to get this out of me? T tree oil, Patsy.
What's the things that make you googur amte?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Absolutely despise When you've got the car in reverse, pretty
obvious that you're a and you'll get a pedestrian that
walks directly behind your car.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like what is that either on their phone in their head?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
D walkers You're supposed to technically wait for them, No, no, no,
but they know, come on.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Looking around?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
The driver supposed a bit of a looking why don't
we why.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Don't we both? Why don't we co exist together in
this world? Some looking around and it's normally people of
your generation, and I actually think, you know, let's then
the herd.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Out have a bit of self awareness. You can be
sticking halfway out of park and they it's like, well,
I'm sorry, I didn't know you had the right of way.
You're right halfway out the park. You watch out for them.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's the one that draws you where they know you're
moving and they're still just carry a walking.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Still walk directly behind the currents. So dangerous.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, no, it is just because people people are so
not aware of what's going around them. The other one
party peoples the same doing that. The sort of day
walkers are the ones that'll be walking down the pavement
and they just stop behind you. You know, before you stop,
you know, you just maybe slow down, you merge over
to the side and then let go. Let you just
(26:26):
be a night of the pavement, That's what I am.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Or people that walk like two or three are breast
in the pavement, so you can't get part of the
no I do.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well, then you've got to walk into the roads. Yes,
we go over a car just to get past you, guys,
because you're dawdling.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
If you're going to do that, you have to set
a fierce pace. Wise you're just ring one behind.

local paper when the American astronaut Charlie Duke came to
(27:44):
their school. We were slightly laid into the special Assembly
Jim the special assemblies at school. We got taken out
to the front of the school to a photo with him.
He'd walked on the moon. He's even mentioned in the
movie Apollo thirteen. Charlie Juke's got measles. He never went
on that mission because he got measles. His kids got
measles from a children's party, which meant he couldn't go
(28:06):
on that mission oh my, because one of the the
astronauts didn't have immunity, so he had to stay behind.
But then he went years later. I think space fans
correct me if I'm wrong. Apollo sixteen or seventeen, Charlie,
you got to go up there and land on the moon.
Christian made the local paper about home in Tazzi Princess Diana.
I gave Princess Diana a bunch of flowers and a
(28:27):
little koala for baby Prince William on their first royal
tour to Australia, and then a couple of weeks later
I got a letter from Princess Diana written by her
lady in waiting. So I ended up back in the
local paper the second time to deal with that Dinah
thing holding the letter. Wow, Nathan, mt'st be quite newsweek
(28:47):
in that local newspaper. When I was fifteen, I caught
a fish by hand, made it into local. That's quite

(29:33):
This is some simone. We're trying to get hold of someone.
We have so many questions. This was waiting for us
to start the show. I was in a local paper
at the age of saying seventeen being bitten by a
pig hunting dog at our local cemetery. Wis your story

going on with the pig hunting dog? And you're at

Finn I was about seven years old and got into
local newspaper for putting my arm in one of those
clown machines that they have at all the festivals where
we have to put the ball in the mouth. So
did he get it stuck or you just completed it?
Final boss level. In my mind, this kid's got wedged.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yes, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
The fire brigade.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Years ago being at London's busiest train station, London Waterloo, right,
and there was a scene around some poor guy. There
was one of these vending machines and you know that,
trying to get the cans out of the chips out
of them, and it was one of those that was
quite low down. This guy had got his arms stuck
there and so he'd obviously been there fast. So he's
(30:46):
lying on the floor with his arm stuck in this machine.
The police are there chatting to him and I obviously,
you know what, you want to know what's going on.
So you starts saying to people outside how long has
he been? He's been here apparently apparently he's been there
an hour. And then I moved forward. I said to
last why don't you just break the machine? They went,
it's illegal, sir, it's private property. It's illegal to break
(31:07):
one of those vending machines. Had they were waiting for
the fibergate to turn out with an axe to cut
him out. But the fiber gate they've got a specials
to smatch him out with an axe. Of course, everyone's
filming this poor dude, just give us a businessman in
like a shirt and tie fie there with his arm.

It's all the tide is against us today. On the show, Christian,
my wife won a wedding package had a photo in
the local paper. That's great. I love the story from
Connie Christian. I was in the paper when John Farnham
came to visit me in hospital. I was in the
school choir but it was in a car accident day
before and couldn't attend. He came to visit me and
sat in my hospital bed and we had a photo
(32:32):
taken for the local paper. Connie, what a gorgeous story, Christian.
I was a local paper when I was sixteen, I'd
written to local council really angry at the state of
the paintwork on the obelisk. It's not going on for
sixteen year old lad. Isn't it an icon in the
tourism area here. My letter made it to the front page.
The obelisk got painted shortly afterwards. I love that Michelle
(32:57):
concerned young residents and this is an epic one. Christian
I was in the local paper riding a tandem bike
with people of a certain age. Will understand what a
big moment this was for a young kid. With bill
Odie from the Goodies. Christian I was dressed as Timbrook
(33:19):
Taylor from the Goodies. We rode around fed Square in Melbourne.
Phil said to me, please don't crash, young man. We
had some really bad ones.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
A few years ago.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
What did he means was he kids can't ride a
tag though with one of the legendary Goodies that is.

don't think you'd get away with it nowadays, but there's
a picture of us in the local paper. We'll have
our backs anyway, lined up at the urinal with the
Premier John Kaine at the time, and.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Anyone else nervous at this called Prince Andrew was visiting
and sorry that just form known as Prince.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
No stage fright, But it was yeah, the opening of
a toilet block at the primary school and we all
lined up there and christened it.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
This is incredible, This isn't This is a new front
runner for the best one, m J. The local toilet
block got opened, that gets in little paper. That's it
and it needs a photo op as well. The Premier, right,

Good morning.
Speaker 10 (35:44):
How are you, Christian?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I'm good Janelle. Welcome to the show as well. Now, Janelle,
what's your story about? Make it into your local paper.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I was in the Sydney Morning Ferald because I
was the first person to breakdown in the Sydney Harbor
Tunnel ten minutes after it opened.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
What claim to fame.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
My husband and I were in the car and we
ran out of fuel, run out of petrol. He driven
through a petrol station in my lovely old Kingslet and
we had our dog Arrow in the back seat, and
Arrow was the first dog to go through, first paying
customer at about three fifteen in the morning of the
(36:27):
Sydney Harbor tunneled back in August in ninety two.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is incredible. So it's two first first person break
down and first dog to go through as well. That's it.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And it was funny because it was in column mate.
And when we got towed out, it was the tow
truck's birth the tow trucky's birthday that day, and he
was over the moon and we got towed to waterloo.
So in the paper it just said that we got
bowed to the loo to be a bribe.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
What scenes.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I will say it was one of the highlights of
my life because it was like a party. This is
before children at about three ten in the morning on
the north side heading down into the tunnel, and I
was in about the first twenty people, and it got
around that it was going to open. So it was
kind of an exciting thing back when you're twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
An incredible story and it's immortalized forever in the local newspaper.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yes, I've even got it on video, which I discovered.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Did you make it onto the news?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
No, we were videoing it. We had the video camera
with us, and I'd forgotten about this tape and I
had a transferred.
Speaker 10 (37:43):
And here's my husband feeling about who should have put
the petrol? I were fitting up there and I remember going,
it's not in parks.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Should I put it in.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
And this is all you two bickering is all caught
on camera on tape.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
My husband was filming. I think he thought it was
hilarious that I was having this bit of a free cat.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Also, those those home sort of camcorders weused back in
when you I think you said in the nineties ninety
two that would have been a big a big camera
as well.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Ah, it wasn't too there, but yes they were petite,
that's for sure, not like without your mobile phone these days.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah. Yeah, brilliant story, Tonel.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
That's my story.
Speaker 1 (38:29):

you two hundred and fifty dollars suspend at Chemist Warehouse.
Fantastic story. Thanks for sharing. Oh wow, thank you very
much and thanks welcome. Thanks forgiving the show ago in
Sydney as well. You know what we should talk to
me on the show about things that you've still got
on video cassette. Oh yeah, like that, I know obviously
something you know everyone that our video because we got
(38:50):
married in nineteen ninety eight, so we were given the
video of it and then we transferred to the DVD
and now it's a thumb drive and all that. But
some people still have video cassettes with things that are
still recording on there. I bet those old TV shows
that people have still got on video cassettes that they
don't want to. We still my wife still has a
video the video, actual video cassette of when she did
(39:13):

Christian was on page three of the local newspaper because
I married someone with the same surname. There's a headline
in breeding. No, not at all. What are the odds?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
What are the odds? Everyone in the wedding party also
had the same surname, of course, except for two in
both ours adds unnamed Joe gin fact. A lot of
the phrase gin fat by the way I think you,
I think you mean good fact, but gin fact is
great for us, like one. After a couple of gins,
she started coming up with the facts. We got maded
on the same day as Simon O'Donnell, the cricketer who
(40:02):
appeared on the same page, but a much smaller black
and white photo than our massive color pick and Colleena
sent me the evidence. She just send me a screenshot it.
He's got didny tiny photo. Yours is huge because someone's
married someone with the same hold the front page, Christian.
(40:24):
We were in our local newspaper for being average after
the census. We're putting the paper under the heading just
your average Joe's come. That's so cruel. We were a
married couple of forties with a mortgage, two kids, and
a golden Retriever. All my husband's mate started calling him
(40:45):
average Joe. No tomorrow on the show, how do you
get that nickname? Average? Jokes? He's reborn? Is he in
his forties? Do you think you're too old to get
a nickname? No?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Average show, There's actually nothing special about you at all.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
You are bang on. Fact is a news story. How
average your averageness is of newsworthy consequence? Christian. I was
in the local paper introducing me as a directory grim.
Speaker 5 (41:11):
Oh you'll get to know this. Buy some of you oldies,
don't you worry?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Christian. The cast of Neighbors came to the local library.
I worked in the eighties, so that was on the
front page, and there was all this pushing and screaming
from girls going why would they do like a I
think at the local life someone doing a research problem
and something. There's a photo shoot with the cast of
neighbors screaming fans and I love this one from Brook
(41:38):
Campbell Christian. My dad made it into local paper. But
because he got the last hole in one of the
Millennium at Ballona golf Course December nineteen ninety nine. There
was so much fear and interest about the countdown to
the millennium and the Millennium bug, when things were going
to drop out the skies and there was just so
(41:59):
much fear about the water. Do you remembers to call
the Y two K bar? Yeah, all that fear now.
Ten minutes ago we were chatting to a lady and
she was talking about how she was one of the
first people to drive in the tunnel under Sydney Harbor
and she broke down. But they were filming this trip
because it was the opening of the tunnel. And also
thinking about the things that you still own on video cassette,
(42:20):
whether or not you've even got a VCR or a
VHS recorder, you still got videotapes.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
Yeah, my parents still have a VCR player at their home,
which I'm not sure if they use. But they've got
a big chest of VCRs of old videos and I
was going through it when I was back home. They
got their own home Blockbuster, Yes literally the last one.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
You usually want to buy these things, right, People possible
used to have their own TV shows they recorded or
whatever inside fake leather covers to make it look like
they had a row of encyclopedias. And they just have
like an illegal copy of Rambo like leather and bossed
Encyclopedia Britannicas.
Speaker 5 (42:57):
Oh you're so well rung.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Oh my, what a learned man. Let me just get
short circuited out Steve Gunberg's new one.

a complete cricket uf as a kid, and I used
to tape entire days of Test match.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
What forward winded to get to the interesting bits.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
We still have the whole nineteen ninety nine India Versus
Australia series with all the old ads, all the old commentary.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
I bet it's quite Have you ever played it back
in the last couple of years? No, I should, I should.
We got to get some of that audio. Yeah, commentary
was so different then.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
Yeah, very different. If you stopped it for the ads.
Did you forget to stop it for the ads?
Speaker 1 (43:40):

They were they were rare. It was nothing that everybody had.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
It was very big, bulky, like a tank on his shoulder.
Speaker 6 (44:22):
He'd be standing there behind the charge in he be
and we look back on it, and you know, my
teacher would go through it and what I was doing wrong,
what I could do better? And I've still got it,
still got it?
Speaker 1 (44:33):
And can you hear your dad's voice on it? Because
sometimes you ever heard yourself back on those videos you recorded.
You said, oh my god, what is that breathy voice? Good?
I've got ones like sports days like who the hell?
Wait that's me? Who could listen to that guy the good?
And then say.

dressed as Superman. What a legend. It was set to
the main Superman theme and there's a moment where he
