gray in your hair as well.

But do you know what it is?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Honest?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
About before I moved here, you still have my hair
dyed to keep it. But then I got here and
I just was get my hair cut one day and
you know, you probably don't realize this. Trainings can be
very blunt, right, And this is Andrews. I started to go.
Who became a friend and he's a really good guy
and he goes one day he goes, there's some you know, man,
your ways you really want to be dying a hair,
just be a bit more authentic and I stopped stupart

(02:14):

bigger Jack, bigger, bigger.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Sorry, passed your hair dresses yesterday?

Speaker 7 (02:41):
It wasn't the hairdressers yesterday. And something really funny happened.
Actually it was a bit odd. I felt like I'd
step back a few decades. A gentleman came in and
asked hiding my hairdresser, He said, do you want your
scissors sharpened? And it wasn't just any guy off the street.
He is a professional sharpener. And he's like traveling salesman
and goes all around the hairdressers sharpening.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
It's not that he's not a traveling salesman. What's he
selling sharps.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
A well? And I just I was taken back.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I thought, Oh, they're old world travel from the handling era.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
But you don't stop and think that, A they need
their scissors sharpened, and where do they go?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
There's not like necessary have a machine out the back
that they put them into, you know, a lathe.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Or But yeah, so he goes around all the suburbs
and sharpens everyone scissors and apparently he's.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Been doing it for you.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Obviously do your kitchen knives as well?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
I didn't know it.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Must do.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, there's not nice just air dressers.

Speaker 7 (03:40):
I should have asked him because our globals a bit
blunt and it's got a couple of chips in it
because we're not Has.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Anyone ever bought that thing? TV adverts that sort of
kitchen top thing put in.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
And out a little bit of water. That thing is rubbish.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Isn't it?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Does he know what he does?

Speaker 5 (03:56):
It just tickles the balls of the night.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
He doesn't do anything.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
He calls the blade.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
You don't look at the showgun.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
How do you.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Rubbish?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Rubbish? That little two tiny stones that rub together?

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, with the water? Is it? No house?

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Does it have the water?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Oh no, no, no, no, you got the water based
as well.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
No, he's gonna say one with me.

Speaker 10 (04:22):
No, no, I do now I used to have what
you had was the wet stone. It's like a block
of cemental.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Granite, granite, I think it is, and you have to
it's possible. It's impossible, really hard to use.

Speaker 10 (04:36):
Jack's got like a sharpener for dummies, which he gave
it to me where it's like it's like a toy
shirt knife sharpener.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
And it's four proof. I'm going to get you one
of these sixteen bucks.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And does it really want?

Speaker 9 (04:49):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (04:50):
You notice the difference.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
And now someone told me, right professional chef, that you're
meant to really bluntt first of all, so you can
take off a leather belt, which every man should own.
You've got a leather belt.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
But I don't run my knife.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
No, no, you should do. And apparently that's how you strop.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
It because the barbers do that old cut throat race.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yes, I thought that was sharpening it when you saw that.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Now I think just to strop it to blunt it,
and then you need to really blunt it down. Then
you sharpen it, and it's better to do that.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Right, Okay.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I wonder what Patsy get that guy's number, And that
must be a mobile business.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
It's not a whole new world.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean, nobody is there's a whole new world. You
can't go AI and shop on your knife. God, he
must work for Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast yesterday.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
In the show, we're talking about your stories of mum
rage and I've just seen this one that came in
after the show ended. You don't think we can read on.
I can't share this. I can't not share this.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
You've tickled us.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's a hot potato. Got to share it, Christian mom.
Actually this came in at half two yesterday afternoon. The
show ended five and a half hours previously. And someone goes,
oh my god, you know what I've got to just
we don't even hear half two in the afternoon yesterday,
Christian mum rage story. Don't also the fact she's addressing
me at half two in the afternoon like I might
be around doing some ad men. Christian mum rage story.

(06:25):
When my sister accidentally scratched my mum's favorite record brackets
the Sting movie soundtrack, brilliant movie that she took the
record and smashed up for my sisters. Oh wow, actually
hard to break vinyl. It's actually really hard to because
it's got a lot of flex it's hard. Maybe twenty minutes,

(06:48):
just try to ifact. I might put my foot, throw
it still, weaken it a bit and then come back
to you. Stay right there, you though.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Stay right there now.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Producing Caitlin's just popped her head in the studio and
said that she sharpen knives.

Speaker 11 (07:02):
Yes, I can sharpen a knife just.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
And that's the bogan in you.

Speaker 11 (07:06):
Well, it is actually a bit bogan because I learned
it at my public high school when I was doing
hospitality and we didn't have knife sharpeners.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
So instead you.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
Can use the underside of a dinner plate or any
sort of porceland.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
It's nice way around to someone's else.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Excuse me, knives, Do you know what I actually do?
Leaping scratch marks all the way across the nice Look
this is now it's throwing it like a tomahawk.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
At the wall.

Speaker 11 (07:36):
I'll prove it to you because if you turn a plate.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
We don't need it. I don't need I take your
work for it.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
It'll save you.

Speaker 11 (07:43):
If you're an airbnban, you think, bloody hell, this knife
is not sharp enough.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm going to lose my deposit. If I'm ruining plates,
no turn it.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
He must have had a.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Circus knife thrower staying near the knives.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
I mean they're in the wall.

Speaker 11 (07:58):
But god lordie, if you turn a plate over and
you know how it has that little ring around the
bottom side of it.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
That just keeps it off.

Speaker 11 (08:05):
Yeah, so if you use that side, they'll never know
that you've done it.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You'll just have a little bit of it will leave
like chip marks, won't it the china or no ace,
a little bit of gray.

Speaker 11 (08:15):
But if you just go really nicely, you won't know.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
What would you do? So you do both sides of
the blade?

Speaker 11 (08:20):
Yep, exactly, just on that list.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
What are you do pulling it towards you a kind
of motion?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (08:24):
So you know when you have like a knife sharpener
that's just like a stick, a metal stick, and you
use that to shove.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yes, I remember that. Yeah, my dad used to have that.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, doing the turkey.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Never throw a music.

Speaker 11 (08:35):
Yes, So you just you do that, but with the
underside of the plate on that rim, and.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
You just go don't, don't, don't dunk and then.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
You got a tomato slice straight through it.

Speaker 12 (08:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, even with a semi blunt blade. Tomato is like
the softest It's still quite easy to chop a tomato.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
No way that is without it.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
No one is like this is like a pineapple. My
knife is bouncing off this soft.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Folds in it.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
I'm going to bring in my knife tomorrow, Caitlin, can
you sharpen it for me?

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Absolutely?

Speaker 9 (09:06):
Fancy.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm sure. How about bringing knives to work day? I
don't think that's we're adults.

Speaker 11 (09:13):
We aren't going to do anything.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Say that to the place you think to be traveling
with a bag of knives in that can't matter.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Who knows what Patty's got hand.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You're quite right.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
This is an honest question and the answers will not
be judged at all. The question really is what are
we all think is the most Bogan thing you own?
So I'll go first. I would say it's a very
large and I love this thing, eski. This is a
common kind of thing for Bogans, isn't it. And I

(09:47):
love the eski, But I keep it hidden away in
the garage and when anytime I get out with friends around,
I try and tuck it in a corner.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
I fear being judged.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
Because you're allowed to have any Do you think so
if you were you, if you kept it in the
hitching twenty four to seven it was like another fridge,
then yes, that's too much.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
It's a good idea. I love that actually, just by
the couch, you know, should have having to walk over
to the fridge and get a cold bet or.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
You were within your eyes.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Good now, Jack, what do you think is the most
bogan thing?

Speaker 9 (10:16):
You know?

Speaker 6 (10:16):
I'm going to tell you about something that when we
were growing up, my nan and Pa had at their house.
You know, when you walk into a milk bar and
they've got those plastic strips on the door to keep
the tassels. Yeah, my dad, granddad had them on their
front door.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
You're kidding.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
Anywhere at Jack, everyone had those in the eighties.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Three yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Don't watch out, watch out, Jack, You say ugly, she says,
everyone everyone had.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Them, No that they did.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Did you have plastic strips at once?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Say?

Speaker 9 (10:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:49):
And the fly strip that used to My nana had
a fly strip that would you know, collect the flies
like they'd stick to it, and then she'd replace it
like once a month, and it did hang from the
roof but that.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
This is different those tassitly things. You're right, shops had them.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
That you were there to separate the full.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, and they're all like multi colored.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah, that's it. There were multicolors. I remember we had.
Do you remember the old days of the sort of
high street video rental place. Yes, the little town that
I grew up in Art I think it was called
video rentals, And I remember they had the main bit
where you could get like Commando Predator. Then there was
a tasseled doorway you could get adult movies. And I
always used to try and peer in there, and you

(11:31):
see like furtive men not talking, only men in there
obviously looking at some really kind of oddlooking movie. They
had tassels adult movies, and it was like it was
like a portal to a cave into another world. And
whenever you'd see a man come through the tassels, they
were literally like the speed of an NRL player and

(11:54):
going for the ball, just bent down and moved so
quickly to the till and they have the money good
to go. There was no way for change.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Probably sandwich between two normal weeklies have flobber at the front,
so you're not getting there.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Might be a bit too much personal detail there.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Jack, don't ever used don't use the word movie like flubber,
poor porn under flopper reference. Yes, oh big busty ladies
and flobber something for me some of the kids. Riha,

(12:34):
what do you think it's the most.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Other than a DV flobber.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Sharehouse?

Speaker 10 (12:43):
We used to have a wall mounted wooden goon sack holder,
so you.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Can you still get them now, beautiful thing.

Speaker 10 (12:56):
It's classy because you come back here and get your
fruity Lexi and you it's you pop it in the
cardboard and then it's just there whenever.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
You are permanently, permanently your own mini bar.

Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yes exactly. If wid bag wasn't classy enough to put it.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, all mounted, it's amazing. How come no one has
down that on the block?

Speaker 4 (13:15):
You win it.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Scotchy can would blow his mine and those judges, wow,
look at the woman you've blended this into.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
It's a talking point.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
You just won the block. All right? What is the
most bogan thing you own? No judgment here, okay, Christian
Connell Show podcast, to be honest, what is the most
bogan thing you own? I've got another one to top
on to the eski. It's a camping chair. I do
not go camping, but I love this again. Oh my god,

(13:48):
this camping I got it from Anaconda. It's called the
June four wheel drive and it is one hundred and
ten parts. It is the single most comfortable chair that
I own, right and I had it for years and
then one that I couldn't find it. My wife just said, oh,
I threw it out the other day, awful thing. And
I was so upset. Tim sat it was Christmas and
she bought it a really badly wrapped camping chair, and

(14:11):
I then spent the rest of Christmas say, even when
we're having our Turkey, I moved away the normal table
chair and sat in my camping chatt now a mad
Bogan king, and I've never been happier.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Inside camping jet ad Bogan.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
It felt great. Christian.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
The house I'm renting at the moment has those plastic
tassels Jack was talking about on the front and back doors.
They're colored blue and white, and I am a fan Christian.
Side note, not the most Bogan thing I own, but
it is the nerdiest. A life size cutout of Gandolf
in my lounge room look, if you're under sixteen, it's okay.

(14:53):
If you're over sixteen Christian. Of my house, we have
the most bogan outdoor accessory, the PVC stubby holder.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Oh yes, we've got a whole collection of those.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Well, well, I don't even know what that is.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Keeps it keeps you cold.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Yeah, but what you're making out of the PVC piping, it.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Was just a near bring material cold like the old
sky is the blue and white.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
When I think of PVC, I think of that pipe.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
See yeah, no, no, interesting means what's up?

Speaker 5 (15:25):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (15:26):
My friend has one.

Speaker 10 (15:27):
It is a pipe where you put your stakeholders in,
So it's a big.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Pipe and they see through transparent ones.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Take to stubby hold another.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
One like the tube they put the money in at
the super.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
They should have that for shouldn't they just load up
to chuck another one right in your fist?

Speaker 6 (15:50):
That is an look.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Every Friday, my brothers and I would have to agree
on a movie to rent at video easy spelled eased. Why,
of course I always chose Flubber Christian. Until I heard
Jack's comments earlier, I didn't recognize I was removing a
horny camouflage.

We have them in the UK.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
Really well started in the West. I reckon started in

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Didn't you tell us once that you have Do you
have like a Buddhist statue water feature out the backyard?

Speaker 7 (16:49):
No, I don't have Buddha water. That's not Bogan water.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Is the water feature is?

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah? It is, yeah, And it's not water. It's like
VB or something.

people in Melbourne.

Speaker 11 (18:32):
Actually, growing up, I also had the singing fish on
the bar.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
That might.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
This is too many cliches. One person was made out
of wood.

Speaker 11 (18:46):
Yeah, from our local wood guy who also made our
chopping boards for us.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Right, this is amazing, all right, keep just going. What

Speaker 2 (18:56):
The Christian o'connal show podcast.

Speaker 5 (19:06):

Please read my name on the radio Shaw James Teddy,
who has a collection of eighties plastic stubby holders. We're
talking Carsomaine for x Foster's Christian, I can beat Caitlin.
I have three outdoor barbecues. Wellow, it's bogan poker.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Let's play three outdoor barbecues. We've got the baby Weber.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I've got a mini electric barbecue and a big gas barbecue.
I also have is the is the most boga thing

and a fridge. All right, So yesterday, big exciting news
about the Olympics. It's going to be in Brisbane in Australia. Now,

(19:51):
the Olympics, as we know, you know recently saw what
they did in Paris and in twenty twelve we had
it in London. It's a it's a chance for your
country to show case of the world. Just what an
amazing country is. It's a big tourist crab. Basicly in
countries bid against this to get the rights of the Olympics.
It's an amazing thing to win the rights to the
Olympics in twenty thirty two. But straight away you think

(20:13):
bris Vegas anything, it's billions to do this. How can city,
not even Sydney or Melbourne afford to host something as
big and grand as Olympics.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
And then there was a talk of there's going to.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Be a budget games, which isn't a word you'd normally.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
A ready flag. Straight Away you're like, oh no.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
This is not going to be the showcase Australia.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
We want it to be Rio.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
What did you find out, you said, because the whole
plans were announced yesterday.

Speaker 10 (20:39):
Yes, and well actually for the twenty thirty two Games,
no other city in the world bid for us.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
You're kidding, wont it's going to be a world first?

Speaker 8 (20:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
We won by default. Do you think it's because it
gives cost so much money? Now?

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (20:51):
I think it's London still in debt, still in debt
for really?

Speaker 10 (20:53):
Yes, Oh my goodness, Well that's what we're trying to
avoid Brisbane was saying, we're going to be the budget Olympics.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
So they're going to do it after when I have
a stadium on after pay.

Speaker 10 (21:05):
They said we're not going to build any new stadiums.
It's all going to be contained within Brisbane. And then
they've done.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
When you go to Brisbane, it's a lovely place. So
I'm not knocking Bristle, but you don't go there and
think Olympics.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
This is set up and primed already. Change nothing.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Mega stadiums everywhere you walk around here in Melbourne than
the sports precinct.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 (21:26):
They did a one hundred day review because it things
started to get dicey in the media. They started calling
it the hot Mess Olympics. So the government called an
emergency review to see how they could actually make it happen.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
So there's been some backflips. They said, there's working to anyone.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
They've got no room for backflips.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
We're not putting high ceilings on, no back flips, no backflips,
keep them alone, just to that little full roll poly.

Speaker 10 (21:54):
So they are actually they've realized they're going to have
to build a new stadium.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Need a bigger stadium, So they're building a stadium.

Speaker 10 (22:01):
Also, if you want to get to the Gather in
the next seven years, you better hurry up because they're
going to demolish it straight after the Olympics.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
They're going to use it for the cricket.

Speaker 10 (22:09):
And then apparently it's too old and worn down, so
then they're going to get rid of it.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Where they're going to they're going to get rid of
it after the cricket.

Speaker 10 (22:16):
This year they're using it for the cricket at the Olympics.
So the twenty thirty two Olympics is going to have cricket.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
But that's all that.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
It's right.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
They're doing it for the first time at the LA Games.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Yes, okay, but wait they're using so they've got the
biggest stadium they've got currently is the Gabba and they're
only using that for cricket.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
Yeah, they're building a bigger new one.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Ye that makes So where's the Anthonet it's going to be.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
That's what they're building the new stadium for and that
will be the Brisbane Lines new home ground.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
Something.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yes, yescity. Will that be like a one hundred thousand.

Speaker 10 (22:49):
Sixty five thousand I think is what I saw. So
but it will be really like high tech et cetera,
et cetera. They also realize they can't do it all
in Brisbane, so they're doing some events in Rockhampton. They're
doing the rowing in salt water infested river.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I like this. It's trying to wake up. Some of
these events a little bit boring to watch on TV.
Chuck a few freshies in there and saltees. You're going
to get a lot of world records broken.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
That's what Albo said that.

Speaker 10 (23:18):
He said, ah, but they're going to be in crock
infested waters and he said, well, they're going to set
some world records. But there's also a lot of they're
building two new stadiums and they said, oh, what events
are you going to put in there?

Speaker 6 (23:30):
And they just said, oh, TBC indoor stadiums.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
They don't even know any rough idea. They haven't googled,
like going on Wikipedia. What do you have at this Olympics.

Speaker 10 (23:42):
So there's a lot of mystery, a lot of tea.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Why are they going to stay because I'm in London.
They actually they spent billions about building the Olympic village
because there's thousands of athletes from all over the world
who have to come to your city. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
They're going to put people up like lodging. Yeah, look
they stay.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Stay with a local. You've got the Aranian shot putting team.
You're competing at six.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
And so they haven't played for the swimming yet because
at one stage they were looking to have one of
the rugby fields sun Corp Stadium is it and they
were just going to build a swimming pool. Dig up the.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Made Paul flooded with a nine x hot in it
take a year to fill it up.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Don't turn the tap off.

Speaker 10 (24:32):
I think they're just putting temporary seating in the current hall.
So they've got a pool there at the moment, they're
just going to whack some more seats up there.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast Christian two barbecues, three barbecuesque.
I've got six four different smokers. I just want I've
got a smoker and a pizza ro and I'm become
a more bogan over you. I live here, Christian. We've
got six burner you've got there, it's are huge. Who
needs six burners? But listen to this roll? Cool, This

(25:08):
person's got a six burner. So that's a massive, big
old barbecue. They've got four four different smokers. What are
you running a restaurant, a tex Mex restaurant, a pizza
oven as well, two mini spit roasts and a full
sized spit This is like a Viking banquet? Are you
in a long hall? Plus a webber but small webber?

(25:28):
And the seventy inch TV on the outside wall? What
what that's like an RHSL?

Speaker 5 (25:34):
You've got there? All right?

Speaker 3 (25:36):
So yesterday I was how in Klos time we're going
back to the UK of the easter break, and my
wife has taken her mother's some of our ashes back
to give to her sisters, and so we've got to
do all this paperwork. We didn't realize you have to
do all this admin to take ashes onto a plane
and leave one country and go into another country. And
yesterday we were asking, your story is about what did

(25:56):
you do with the ashes? We had so many incredible stories,
and loadsmore came in yesterday as well. Jack and I
were saying this morning, we didn't know you could have
so many different stories. And I thought by nine o'clock
yesterday we'd heard. But no, no, no, my friends, there
are some incredible ones to get through this morning. So
we're doing a part two What did you do with
the ashes? If you want to take part and you've

(26:17):
got your story nine four one one four three Melanie Christian,
I thought i'd share with you a story of all
my dad's ashes. My dad ended up living in Florida,
it was Australian and sadly passed away after a long
battle with dementia. I'm sorry to hear that now. His wish, though,
was to come back to Australia and he wanted his
ashes scattered in the ocean near Sorrento. My youngest sister
had the task to bring dad home. The funeral home

(26:39):
gave my sister to own with the paperwork, and Dad
was ready to head homeward bound back to Australia. First
leg of the journey was from Fort Myers to air
to la While going through the airport's security, my sister
said to the guard there, take care, that's my dad
in the The next thing, you know, my sister hears
the man saying on his walkie talkie human remains coming
through whose airport? Security in America is intense. My sister

(27:04):
was a little horrified at this point, to my sister's surprise.
She then sees the security man checking out the ashes
and queries, is what's going on? He said, we're checking
the urn for drugs. Apparently it's very common cover they
hide in urns with actual ashes drugs. My sister couldn't
believe that our dad was now being drug tested. Dad
finally made it home, spent some time in my sister's bedroom.

(27:27):
Then it was time to set him free. We found
a beautiful little beach in Diamond Bay, which chose my
dad's birthday, which would have been his eightieth. We were
already dressed appropriately because it was a hot day, and
my middle sister was picked to do the honors. However,
she had to wait for two months to walk past
with their children before it was an empty beach. It
feels like I say, you tell the time, you know,
sometimes you can go one cuckoo too, cuckoo, go one

(27:49):
mom too, mum. Once the coast is clear, my sister
started walking out into the water with the urn. My
sister looked like some sort of bogan Moses trying to
part the way. I couldn't stop laughing. My younger sister
was very emotional, crying then We all started laughing. Then
we were thinking about how much Dad would have enjoyed this.
My children now go every summer to swim in that
spot to be close to their grandfather.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Tad him a lovely story, Christian.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
When my old man left us, we put his ashes
in his favorite bottle, a VB bottle. We've just been
talking about both of the things. We had it engraved
with all his nicknames. On the side, Dad asked, mop
top Den lovely and a few more you can't read.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Out on it.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Wow, what a lovely way to.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
Us?

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Is one of the polite ones?

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, and a few more you can't read out. And
on the other side we put all the kids' names.
The bottle comes out anytime we toast him in our
man cave. Miss him heaps. Boy did he love a beer?

Speaker 8 (28:46):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Shut sign off there, Christian.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I was a carpet cleaner some years ago and had
a call out to do a basic cleanup, or so
I thought. Turn up there was an old European lady,
very distressed. She had dropped her relatives ash onto the
fireplace and carpet, breaking the suramic urn. I had been
hired to clean it up. The lady in her late eighties,
was beside herself, understandably distraught, crying my pond, No, no,

(29:11):
you fixed, Now.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
You pick her up.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Then she gave me a large vegimite jar was provided.
This was a job and a half. She kept hitting
me on the shoulder saying, be careful, you pick up.
I was terrified. I managed to get. I'm actually get
what I could into this shabby veggimite jar that hadn't
been emptied out, probably.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
Still straight along with.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
The ashes would have been sticking to it. I didn't
charge you because I felt so sorry for her, And
I left with a couple of jars of homemade amazing
sauce that's the blood of a victim and a bottle
of homemade grapper. Geez, that stuff's rocket fuel. Then we
get to Rachel's email. Now, yesterday I think we had

(29:56):
two calls about mix ups with the ashes, the wrong
ones yea and the funeral home owning up. But sometimes
it was like a couple off that we had one yesterday.
It was six months later that the funeral home when
we've given you the wrong ashes, that isn't who you
think it is. This story that we're actually going to
do next after these ads is barely believable. It doesn't

(30:16):
involve a mix up involving ashes. You can hear the
full story next.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Part two This morning, What did you do with the ashes? Yesterday?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
We had so many incredible stories involving what you were
trying to do respectfully with the ashes. But you know
what it's like in life. Sometimes the more sort of
high intention, high expectation you have, this has got to
be right. It's like the universe sometimes this can spies
against you. And we heard a lot of stories yesterday
of ashes being sprinkled where they were mentally spring called
and then sudden Australia would have feel like it has

(30:49):
a lot of sudden wind.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Changes because they couldn't move.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
The stories just about very unfortunate sudden wind changes and
ashes been sprinkled into people who were blissfully unaware of
what was going on. And then there were two stories
about actually people who've given the urns with their belovers'
ashes in and then a couple of weeks and one
call to talk about six months later getting a call
from the funeral home saying those are the wrong ashes.

(31:13):
This story is that and something else. It comes from
someone called Rachel Christian. I was just on the show
yesterday relating to funeral mix up. I listened to an
ABC podcast after yours. Of course, well done, Rachel, I'm
sure on the iHeart platform, and a family had buried
and greed for their dative, only to get a call
three days later explaining, sorry, your family member was accidentally cremated.

(31:37):
We put a different body in the coffin. Oh god, wait,
this gets so bad they had to dig up the
coffin to confirm. Imagin you're leaving horrendous anyway, this happened
in this country, and there were other on this podcast episode.
There were other funeral home horror stories. You know, yesterday
when you were joking about how you thought it was
a bit odd your white point to set check that

(31:59):
they were her mom's ashes in there. She had every
right to do so. Now I want to dig out
this podcast. It's an ABC podcast, who do actually do
some amazing podcasts, and it's called ABC Background Briefing. This
is episode three. Births, Deaths and Marriages. Have a listened
to this story.

Speaker 13 (32:16):
There's a family that is gathered by a graveside and
they're there to bury, their beloved father.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
His name's Errol.

Speaker 13 (32:23):
The coffin's just been lowered in, the dirt's been thrown in,
and everybody's starting to file away. And after they'd finished
that service, one of their workers is in an absolute state.
But it's not from grief, it's from guilt.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
You mean you hooked on you. I've got goosebumps. Listen
to this. Let's go back into the story.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
There had been a bit of a mix up on Monday.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
He had mistakenly cremated mister Davidson.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
They put the wrong body into the crematorium.

Speaker 13 (32:49):
Errol Davidson had been cremated in the place of a
woman named Daisy Jones.

Speaker 9 (32:54):
And so in order to perpetuate the cover up, he
was putting Missus Jones into his coffin, and a paver
and a five litre model of water was placed into
the coffin with missus Jones because she was a much
smaller lady than what mister Davidson was.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
It's not just a mistake. It's actually a cover up,
isn't It's worth so a pay and a five liter
bottle of water to bulk it up. Let's play on New.

Speaker 13 (33:21):
South Old Health Call the family and say we have
to exhume Errol's grave. They all go back to that
grave site and two officers who are part of New
Southwest Helf are actually in the grave. So six feet
down they pull out the coffin, they open the lid
and in there is a frail, small old woman.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
My worst that it is an unbelievable story. If you
want to feel here. The full episode is ABC Background Briefing,
Episode three. Rachel, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast right now.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Though, So yesterday you went jean shopping.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
I mean the process of getting rid of the skinny
jean which is no longer trendy or cool, getting them
all out of the wardrobe and replacing them with the
irregular fit which I've got on now, which is the
straight leg jean.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
The straight leg is the gene of the dad yep.
But also now you're a dad, you've got to have
you'll start to get. You got the quarter sort of
zip up fleece as well.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
It's it's the gene of the youth pole. Because no
one's doing skinny jean anymore.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I look around the young you they're still rocking skinny jeans.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
I know the skinny jeans are out. That's those are
sensible genes, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
They are like you're going to go and say, you know,
do some gardening or stuff like that, you know, go
and clean out the drains or something.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
So I tried these on in the change room, loved
them when bored them.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Do you mind if I ask what brand you're going for?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
What you're rocking?

Speaker 6 (34:43):
These are Levi's classic Levis five ones five fourteens?

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Fit better?

Speaker 3 (34:48):
They do fit better?

Speaker 6 (34:49):
Yeah, okay, this is the straight leg.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yes, straight leg. Yeah, it's sort of regular, isn't it.
The straight leg is the regular?

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Yes, yeah, And they're still selling the skinny jeans. I
wanted to even ask, hey, less people buying them because
I know, between you and me, they're out of style now.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
If that's what you need to tell us out We
all have these stories.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
We tell us have It's okay, So I left my
skinny jeans that I took in there in the change
rooms because I don't need them anymore, paid for these jeans.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
And left me.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
No, we don't move on from that.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (35:20):
You try jeans on?

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Right?

Speaker 5 (35:22):
You're happy with them?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I just walk out with these and I leave my
old jeans that my bum's been and in my junk
and all that on the floor for someone else to touch.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
That's right. Yeah, I haven't snipped off the tags.

Speaker 9 (35:31):
Don't.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
Don't you ever wear stuff out.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Of the No, because I'll tell you what I'm not
on the run.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
Wait, no, I didn't. I didn't think that was weird.
Do you not wear stuff out of the store? And
they know.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
No trainers I have done before?

Speaker 6 (35:46):
Were they And they'll snip the tags for you and
you say thank you, but you did it for them? Well, no,
she snipped the tags off. What I didn't tell her
is that my old jeans were tucked in.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
The What a horrible surprise for somebody?

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Is that bad?

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yes, you're actually saying here, you pick up my mess
and it was a mess.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
Yeah, I guess it's a mess.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Like they're hundred I've never heard anyone just leaving their
old clothes in there.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
Well, joke was on me. By the time I got
back to my car, I realized my parking ticket was
in the pocket of my old gene.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
That's calm, So what do you have to do? Go
and press that buzzer and try and hope for a
human to speak to I did.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
You shouldn't endorse this, but I ghosted out the person
in front of me, so as they're leaving you, you
tail behind them and you get under the barrier.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
What a day in the right of our friend.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
But Jack post, I was in dire situation.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
You won't and you pay.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
They just go, yeah, it's got a paystell.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Yeah, but I was only there for fifteen minutes in
the car park.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I'm not going to pay for the daily lost in
a loose live sometimes.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
So maybe I was on the run actually after all,
and I did my.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Wardrobe cleaning the scene, so you've obviously done this before.
I think I have.

Speaker 6 (37:02):
I didn't know. It's so strange. Sometimes sometimes if I
buy new clothes, I'll wear it out, but take my
old clothes because I still want them. But if I
don't want them anymore, I'll just leave them in the change.
Don't see stuff just left in the changer.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
That's their stuff. That's their stuff. And they go and
then put it back out there, don't they. They steam
it and they go, that's their stuff, not some random dudes.
Dirty old, dirty old jeans. He doesn't want anymore. There's
a special bend for them.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
That's a good point. I just never really thought about.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
All right, Okay, okay, So Patsy, you ever heard anything
like this?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
No, I'm shocked.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
I haven't.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
You might take a five year old to get new shoes,
but you like them so much they want to wear
them the shop.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
I think I've left shoes you sh.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
No, no, no, what about jobs? No, you can't. You
can't try it, not job for anything.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
I've tried on and I've like a T shirt and
I'm like, I like this new new T shirt and
I don't want the old one system to deal with that.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
I just want to check rio you ever done anything.
I haven't, so I don't know whether it's just me.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
It's shocking. No, I would never do that.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
All right.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Do you know what I'm gonna I'm going to ask
people who listen right now, has anyone ever done this before?
Where you've gone into the change room, you like what
you've tried on, you decide to walk out and pay
with it, but you'll leave your old clothes on the
floor them for them to pick up.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
Horrible discovery for someone like.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
Country Road, the ones nothing against country road. They had
a good innings, but I had done with them.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
And by the way, some old pants and no, no,
basically you have said that it's unset, but it hanging
in the air that it's your business to chuck my
whole jeans.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
I've had a good run.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Anyone ever done this?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Christian O'Connell Show Go one podcast, Ah.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Man, your friend, my friend Jack Post goes shopping for jeans,
a common experience. He likes his Levi's. He looks at
his old Levis on the floor and thinks, I'll leave
them there for somebody else to clear up and get
rid of.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
I'll walk out of here.

Speaker 6 (39:10):
In these new genes, I thought it was more common
than I thought that you walk out with what you
try on.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
You try it on, you like it.

Speaker 6 (39:18):
Oh, we're out of the store.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
I've never heard of it, never heard of it. Christian.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
I worked in retail years ago, and whilst tidying up,
I found a set of dentures in a pocket of
a men's dressing gown that a customer had returned. Oh
my god, the texta the text are one hundred percent
what what what?

Speaker 2 (39:36):
What?

Speaker 14 (39:37):
What?

Speaker 7 (39:39):
I want to know?

Speaker 3 (39:40):
How you know?

Speaker 4 (39:45):
So you got this shop assistant to cut the tag.
So is this a major department.

Speaker 6 (39:50):
Store or like a literally changed This is a DEFO
in South Warf, so already defo is a bit looser
than a.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Normal It is no, no, no, no, it's they still
don't have to clear up other people's clothes. It's not
your mom.

Speaker 6 (40:04):
It has a warehouse fu No no, no, everything's discount no.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
No, But that doesn't mean that you downgrade the stuff.

Speaker 6 (40:12):
But yes I did. I had so, I bought, tried
them on, went back into my jeans, went and paid
for them.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Right, you're wondering how you paid it?

Speaker 6 (40:21):
Do you mind cutting the tags off? I'm going to
wear them out of the store, and then went back,
went back into the change room, put the new jeens on.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Thought I don't need all this test so many points
where you could have had the word here is awareness. Yeah,
well you kind of thought, actually, you know what, I
just put these odd ones in this bag and I
chuck them in the bin out in the main.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
Concourse, every question you're asking, like what do you think
they do with them? What are you doing? Are you crazy?
None of this crossed my mind, yes, say none of it?

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Clearly, you know and actually when I first heard about
this again, I pitched when you were just incredulous. It
was just like who would do this? And thought, maybe
what these days? You know what you used to? I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
You don't know. Maybe he's a thing here in Australia.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
I grew up a different way.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
I think, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
Nine four three.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Maybe those people listening to this going yeah, no, Christian, no, no,
I did this all the time. This kills me, Karen Christian.
Ever of anybody doing what Chat did, leaving its dirty
clothes behind, inconsiderace of stuff that to pick up after him.
He's not five years old for crying out loud. Any
radio show that makes you can't tell them going for
crying out loud. Apart from that, you're not you know,
you are meant to wash clothes before wearing them, to

(41:31):
get rid of the residue from the dice. That's not helped.

Speaker 5 (41:34):
That is problem about him.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
I'm wearing the blue balls today, whatever Levy nuts.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
Now, I'm still wearing him today without washing them.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
Let's go to Kathy. Good morning, Kathy.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Oh my god, I'm sitting here listening to this on
my wider work, thinking what is wrong with you?

Speaker 9 (41:53):
Jack?

Speaker 1 (41:55):
He never file seriously to amaze me, at least once away.
I'm still looking for a support group for what you
did with that higher car.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
Earlier I went, I thought the higher car was like
a new bottom of a bow. But who knew. No,
there's more levels of this, like Donkey Kong. We're not
out final boss level of Jack yet.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I mean, seriously, Jack, I don't care that you wore
the jeans out of the place, right, but at least
ask them for a bag so you can put your
old Janes in it and take.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Them home, chuck them in another bit outside DFO.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Honestly, what are you thinking?

Speaker 6 (42:36):
This feels kind of like what an intervention must be
like everybody everywhere you look, everyone.

Speaker 5 (42:41):
But what a grand scale want an entire city.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
I'm sorry, Jack, but I just sometimes think you need
your own segment. Forget about what are the odds? It's like,
what the hell is Jack done?

Speaker 5 (42:54):
What are the jacks?

Speaker 6 (42:58):
There's no sign on the al anywhere in there, anywhere
in there that says don't go right.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
You're right, you're right, yeah, yeah, please don't steal stuff.
You're right? You should have more signing. That's the problem, Kathy,
thank you very much. Just got to Sharon now used
to work at kmart. Sharon, good morning guys.

Speaker 14 (43:15):
I understand where Jackie is coming from. It happens more
often than anybody realizes.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
So you worked at camp.

Speaker 14 (43:24):
I worked at kmart for about fifteen years. I've found
Jane shirts, jumpers, shoes, says underwear.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a segment of society we
didn't know that you weren't mental lead stuff behind.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
I'm going to call you k martyrs.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Okay, no, no one, No one told us.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
And there's no science, there's no surience.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
No.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
But do you know what Sharon A lot more? Last
year I was here in my local Camart, right and uh,
and I want to try something on. The lady went,
I'm afraid you can't. There's been a problem in the
males changing rooms. And I'm like, what's that. She goes, well, surely,
saying but someone's done, and I went.

Speaker 15 (44:04):
Oh my god, you don't get that every day as
she goes. You'd be surprised, now, jack stinking Actually, you
know I didn't need to go to.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
Toilet draw any parallels.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Actually, do you know what now? I know why you
got with those jeans. I think you pooped your pants. No,
because before the show you had to run to the
toilet pants. Yeah, there's a little bar.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
In them, Christian Connell Show Podcast.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
The last time I felt this way, honestly, was when
I told you guys that I have some shells where
I don't soap and I just rinse with water. And
you guys were like, oh, we use soap every time,
And now I use soap every time because.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
There is learning.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
There is consider it an education.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Jack. As an interstate truck driver, there is a shower
at a service station that I use, and it must
be designed for people like Chat and actually has a
sign on the wall that says, please don't poop in
the shower. I don't. You don't think it would need
a sign, but apparently people like Jack thinks there needs
to be signs up everywhere telling you how about.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Stop because now people who've just tuned in will think
the last half hours I've pooped somewhere.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Certain undred percent didn't do that, Christian.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
I actually had a bigger reaction to what Jack was
talking about leaving his old genes in the changing room floor.
Then I did the wrong body being cremated story. No
one called the.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
Show about that. No one called the show.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
People are figure like, wait, what, all right, let's get
into this week's What are the odds?

Speaker 6 (45:40):
Believe it or not?

Speaker 10 (45:42):
What are the odds?

imagine how many snakes would be here?

Speaker 8 (46:12):
No jokes.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
I look up and there is a hawk carrying a
tiger snake in its clause.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Flying backyard cricket on Christmas Day on baton Dad's bowlin,
I hit the ball in the air.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
I started running.

Speaker 12 (46:23):
Ball bounced on top of my head, so I kept running.
It bounced on my head for a second time, and
the old man caught me.

Speaker 14 (46:28):
Yeut.

Speaker 12 (46:29):
I went to make a drink and it was like
a really clear glass, and I said that to myself.

Speaker 8 (46:33):
I said, wow, that's really clear loss of water.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
The next lady that caught up her name was clear Water.
