Speaker 4 (00:30):
Hello, Hello.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Who watched the Night of Nights?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
My word, the brown low as much as I could stunning.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's hard going too. It was such an exciting sport.
Why have a really long winded, dull night.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
It's a really really good question.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
They've never really figured out how to do it well once.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
I've never seen a good brand.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
So many?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Did you watch it? Pats?

Speaker 7 (00:56):
I watched it up to about round two? Just to explain.
All I care about.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Is the red carpets.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Who caught your eye? Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:07):
They all look stunning.

Speaker 7 (01:08):
Actually, I don't think there was one single standout, but
I will say my friend Rebecca Madden looked absolutely What
about the old the hair? Now, see Beth, who has
done my hair and makeup.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Look, I recognized that dodgy bidy no no.

Speaker 7 (01:24):
I took care of Beck last night, and she always
is an absolute masterclass.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
To read that with one eye though, that's her good eye.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Maybe yeah, yeah, but maybe she had a pinky, you know,
and she needed.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It covered something.

Speaker 7 (01:38):
Beck always loves to do something different, like sheer mainstream
and she has a different look. Every time I thought she.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
Looked beautiful, she did, she did, she absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:48):
And smashed it too, by the.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Way, long night for her and Ham. Yes, now some
of the other moments. Then if if you're in the
running like Matt Row, Okay, he won it by a
lot of votes. I think by about round three he
had a thousand votes. Feeling the AFL really want him
to win, even in some games when it wasn't even playing.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
He's got three undred points twelve votes from twelve across
his first four games.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Crazy crazy, And then but you know you're one of
the favorites.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
So when you get up there, and what a big
pinnacle for these guys to get the brown over.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, you're always going to go down a history, but
they're not a lot of umming.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
And a ring.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
He had a lot of You can't be surprised. Yes,
you've had hours sat there.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's going to be me. It's going to be me.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Maybe go to the toilet, go for a lot of
walk with a notepad or a Napkin think about something
to say rather than of yehnas.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Yeah, yeah, well done Hamish getting that stuff out of
those players.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh my god, that's a blood out of stoness.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
And even when Matt was announced as a winner, Haym
still wants to congratulate and lub.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Up sort of a decos as well, Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
He didn't, he was just getting up there and well
done and coming second. How about this guy, so old
Ginger getting up here with two thousand votes.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
For Old Jacob's second time he's been runner up to
the raging favorite.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, here's the thing I've got right, This is a
big question. Okay, so the umpires do the voting now?
Is a crazy game to be an official of right
for two k massive Megrooval, bigger than any kind of
game in the world. How can they have that important
job of trying to work out which one was that?
And they're still making all the calls in a really
chaotic games Why is it the umps?

Speaker 5 (03:32):
I've always always wondered this because they've got it's the
hardest game in the world.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Crazy, They've got to run so many kilometers.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Various moments they might have to throw the ball backwards.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yes exactly, and they were like, how are they?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I actually don't wish one of the Decoss boys was
it the ginger.

Speaker 9 (03:49):
That Well, it's funny you say that because Matt Row
he was It's really good in the clearance, is really
good around the topic is right in front of the
umpires and so many of those votes.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Are you saying he plays to the umps pretty much?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
That he's running past to go see I'm having a
great game. Put in the notepad. Take a note of
it now. Otherwise back in the locker room when you're
getting changed, you won't remember me.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Do it now? I just did this.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
And there were no coaches votes for so many of
those games, so the coaches and the umpires saw matt
ral very differently.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, I feel bad for the umpires. Always cop it
after the end of every brown. What do you expect
them to do?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I've got another But who should be doing the voting? Us?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
We're not asked.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Now, I say us.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Yeah, this viewers text like Australian idol.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Yes it works.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Some music we owned his shows all over the world.
Would give the power to us.

Speaker 10 (04:47):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
If you choose you on the show for the first
half hour, we find out your day yesterday? How was
your Monday? How did you start the week? Would you
say you're a Monday winner or loser? Text me which way?

Speaker 1 (05:00):

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Mate?

Speaker 8 (05:05):
A very busy day. And I do have to say the.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
Scales are tilting slightly to loser because day one of
school holidays.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh no, and Beth was doing Beck Madden's hair, so
you couldn't get your your low lights done day.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
One of school holidays and I'm already exhausted, I have
to say. And I only have one child, but it
is a teenager and decided at nine o'clock last night
that she would cook some chocolate cupcakes at nine at night.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
And she is a bit of a night owl. Like
the Love God, he's a bit of a night.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
How It's amazing how they just have these when they
become teenagers. Different aspects of them open up.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yes, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Often you're watching a sci fi thing, right, and there's
a box in the corner and suddenly it starts activating
and opening up, and they're like, oh my god, the
beholder is awakening, and so that's what it is with
a teenager. They're like pleasant nights, pleasant nights, pleasant nights,
and suddenly you're a teenager and then different light, outlandish behavior.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
And cooking at ten o'clock is an option.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
It's random.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
And she just announced that she might bake a cake,
and I sort of, I said, why don't you You
know that'll give you something else to do tomorrow. You're
wondering what to do? What't you do some baking?

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Torow?

Speaker 8 (06:15):
No, I have to bake now.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And did you like any mumold you were?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
You then worried about I can't go to sleep until
I know, like the ovens off and stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
It's more about the miss I said, can you please
make sure that you can't?

Speaker 8 (06:26):
I love that you cook. I love that, but please
make sure that you clear.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, ma'am.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Good.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
So I went to bed and woke up this morning
to everywhere now a little bit of a mess. Bit,
Oh that's good, not too bad. And she put the
dishwasher on, so that was all right.

Speaker 8 (06:42):
At nine o'clock she decided to bake a cake for
some reason.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Quite noisy as well.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
At nine of them, very noisy.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
It's very noisy, and I can overhear Chris saying, oh
when can I have a taste?

Speaker 8 (06:54):
When will they be ready?

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Seconds past nine o'clock?

Speaker 7 (06:58):
You're doing so this is going to be my next
two weeks. It's just you know, it's a tough, different
routine that I'm not that nanome isn't used to.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, and next, how was you doing? How was your
day yesterday?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I saw your one o'clock on Channel seven winnings.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Very good mate, world.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Thank you guys, thank you for all your support. It's
been really nice. It was great yesterday, really good. Just
good to get back in the saddle back there in
TV Land at Channel seven. Everyone was very supportive there
as well. Everything went out that coin.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Drop almost without a hitch, and the Melbourne Royal Show
called me afterwards they need their coin machine backs. I've
never seen you suddenly pivot so dramatically into a coin
drop Palestine you can win cash and also and you
only gave me one hundred dollars and then you went

(07:52):
this will how she got five kids?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Mate, I'll tell you what it's going to help. So
that's just seven.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
This isn't winning with a broken clock.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Yes, winning mornings from Sebastopol an era and a half.
Where did Melbourne with their five children age eight months
up to twelve months.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
So one of them at the end just sort of
one of the elder kids stuck her head into the
frame as it would say, really one hundred dollars the
first one. You couldn't give it a quick shape that
they deal with the carnival.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh no, it's a bit dodgy. It's a thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
And said, hey, you've got to be in it to
win it, and anything can happen. It could have been
ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I reckon that fixed.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, how many big amounts we're going to I'm going
to do my own podcast about the coin drop on
winning our votes. I supposed the man who used to
do expose as it was exposed a.

Speaker 6 (08:45):
You know what the funny thing is, that's not going
to be the only contraption that we're going to be using.
There are three others, three others. There are producers right
now in a cave.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I know they're going to get They're going to be
wandering around them at the showgrounds from Thursday. What's that
tatty old thing over there?

Speaker 6 (09:04):

Speaker 2 (09:04):

Speaker 10 (09:11):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
The last couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
So I try to put something in my calendar on
a Monday that's pleasurable, some small thing to look forward to.
So on a Sunday night, I go, oh, I've got
that thing. So at the weekend, I thought, you know
what I'm going to get is a hammock.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Starting a resort in No, no, I need, I need
a hammock.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
We've got a week off, and I thought, I'm going
to know what I'm going to do during that week off.
I'm going to spend a lot of time suspended above
the ground in my hammock.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Aren't you downsizing? Aren't you trying to get Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, yeah, downsize. She got room for a hammock out
in the garden. Hopefully the weather's going to be nice
next week. It's a little bit a bit chilly if
I had the hammock right now.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Hammicks are exactly They're like kayaking.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
It's like you think the idea of a hammock is good,
but once you get in there, it's actually really uncomft.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Trust me, No, it's not it's been working for years.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
Two trees this one.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
This one is like a U shaped it's I don't
need the trees. It's I don't need the trees. It
comes in a frame.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
So I ordered too. So they amal selfish.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Okay, so maybe one of the kids and my wife
wants to, you know, read a little book there or
something or magazine Sarah, and we can be in our
hammock years. So I started googling on Saturday afternoon and thought,
do you know what I'm going to wait, I'm going
to put this in my calendar. I found what I'm
looking forward to Monday ordering my hammock. So I created
a calendar point and wanted yesterday help.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're going to find a good deal.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
There's a hammock company that got sail on at the moment.
So I've ordered my hammock, but I don't want it
arriving because they were like, you can get twenty four
hour delivery. You know, you have like special notes I
put on there, do not deliver before Thursday because we
break up Thursday from school for a week. And so
I didn't want to start premature hammock living or a wait,

(11:08):
I deserved it.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
You want it for after the after we come back?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
No, no, no, I want it for Thursday afternoon. I
dearly because then we got a whole week. I might
even watch the Grand Final from a hammock. I might
move it indoors in that massive it's got some like it's.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like a bow.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Basically, it's an eight foot frame.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
You will use it three times.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes, but they'll be magical three times. Rio get ready
for my hammock years.

Speaker 10 (11:31):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Christian, I thoroughly recommend you not being in a hammock
at home alone. If the doorbell rings, all you need
to doettle bathroom. Trust me, at our age, it's very
likely you're going to need how to dismount, and it's
not going to be like a graceful dismount like a gymnast. No,
you're going too like a flailing banshee or someone who's
just been stung by.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Two hundred and fifty wasps.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
But apart from that, enjoy, thank you, Mark, I will
this thing is. It's like a small Viking longboat.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's eight oh.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
It's a solid pun wooden't frame like a big How
do they deliver that to you.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'm worrying. I've got to put that thing together.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
You'll have to air task that.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
How did you possibly get this okayed by your wife.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Because I ordered to?

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Then?

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Where can you think two of these things they're mad?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
They actually don't know they're going to be we're going
to smashed together.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
They have to get bedroom.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's a sort of galley ship to they in the
slaves down below the poop deck.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Maybe I haven't thought this through.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
What is it about human nature where just because they
say they've got a sail and you think, hang on
a minute.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
You get a week with this? Y? Yeah, if all
the wrestler.

Speaker 2 (12:50):

Good question because I've been burnt by obviously the Lions
and the Cats by a huge margin in the last
two Grand finals, so very difficult to choose.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
I'm leaning towards Lions though, I just I don't know.
I don't know what it is about the Cats. They're
just kind of smarmy.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Okay, So there's an apartment Facebook group here in Richmond
for the apartment block that I live in and things
are already kicking off.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Was this one that was formed during lockdown? It's just
given when we all got those WhatsApp groups street.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
This is just a Facebook group. So it's like everyone
in the apartment block. There's you know, six hundred people
there or whatever. It's mostly people bickering about the bins
or the bins, or that dog's barking, Tell it to
shut up. Who keeps throwing blah blah blah, stop putting
stuff in the bins after eleven?

Speaker 4 (20:47):
All this kind of rubbage.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
It's just bitching. But sometimes people ask for favors. So
this person's written in posted yesterday. My friend's here for
the Grand Final. Does anyone have a caspot they can
borrow for the weekend? Someone replied, I do. Who do
they follow? Question mark? Thanks so much, that's amazing. They're
Lions fans. Oh sorry, assume they'd be driving from July.

(21:08):
I'd rather keep it free for a Cats fan.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
I love this.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
That is so funny.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Are you serious? Yep, sorry, you're.

Speaker 2 (21:19):

were pranking their parents right and filming it so they
were like, dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, come in the kitchen,
I go flying him. In an aw for news, Bruce
Springsteen is dead. He's died in a plane accident on tour.
And for a moment I literally started to cry and
they were like, prank.

Speaker 9 (22:06):
Oh that's cruel, cruel, cruel.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
For three seconds, I thought my beloved boss was gone
from this mortal I didn't want to be in this world.
It's so specific because I thought he's always touring.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I what a horrible way to go. He's spreading joy
around the world.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
Buddy, Hi, life.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
We're going to put this on.

Speaker 2 (22:31):

can it's hard, fine way it isn't. I paid the bills,
so it's actually my phone destroy the whole.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Your friends won't like that. No one's gonna was going
to give a thun up light to see it. You
made your dad cry by telling that Bruce Springsteen is dead.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Two weeks later, was it was King Charles? That guy
was with Trump an actor, big conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Theory that he died. He's just got some other guy
we need to hire. And look like he's got really
fat fingers.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
Hasn't he got massive fingers?

Speaker 6 (23:15):

Speaker 8 (24:39):
Yeah, we'll see. You've got yourself to blame.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Why we'll throw them out. They've had it.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Listen, that's an eco terrorist. You wash the machine, you
rip the door off, you buy a new one. Now
socks get thrown in the bin.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
Yeah, but you're.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Gonna just wear them again.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
You're just setting yourself what I'm going to get on
your podcast to chat to you, Greta Thumber, Please, do
you need to come here and.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Tell you off rage against the environment?

Speaker 8 (25:06):
Echo to just to cause Graef to throw them out.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I've had a good scolding by Patsy in a while.
The other thing that bothers me as well is bin
bangs in my house. Is my job to empty the
bins and put the new bin bag in. Okay, I
have very low level menial responsibilities. Yesterday I was in
chance of finding out fighting out some new home and
contents insurance.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
My wife just goes, could you do this? I of
course again, and then I was sort of actually.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Go no, no, no, no, no, don't actually pay for it,
come back to meet with figures.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'm I'm just now just doing basic research.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
We get a message from Christian in the group chat
like on Sunday, but you're like, who do you guys
use home?

Speaker 1 (25:46):
And you're my Google.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Answered me as well. It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Wow, I didn't know what the angle was. You just
wanted advice on.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Anyway, When I was replacing the bin, yes, sir, I've
had it with these weak bin liners, gossamer, gossamer, wafer thin.
So when you then, because people then cramp too much,
crap in and you do that, you don't think we
gold to put the bin between your leggs a dry
hump it it's a head of everything to walk in on
sometimes my wife and I'm like, I'm trying to get
the bin bag out. She's like, you dirty swine for

(26:23):
me once anyway, and then it's a nightment because you
got a yank it and it tears in half.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
There's a hole in the bottom.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
To put it in another bee yea eco.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Terraces back off again thro the bin thrown attire. You
got no choice.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
You know what the female equivalent to your sock situation.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
Halfering back to that is is when you're wearing panty
hose and they fall down.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
It was just about me my third one actually, because
I am to do wearing panty hose is a.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
New thing to get into.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Is like halfway down.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I had to get my wife tohike me up today,
just help into my pantio.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
My man spanks Patsy. What's smaller? What's it for you
than things?

Speaker 7 (27:10):
A where you go guru at ld when you are
unpacking your groceries on the belt. You know they go
at a rapid pace there. You've got to be on
top of your game.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Now, do you right.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
They get a hell of a lick on because they
actually break out and sweat because I just know it,
like you've got to bring it.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yeah, yeah, you've got to be in top shape.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
They should have signs up saying hey, be ready, all right, be.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Ready, it's time.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
They could make it an Olympic sport. I should God anyway.

Speaker 7 (27:40):
What I hate is you've only done half your trolley
and the person behind you in the queue has already
started unpacking and putting their stuff on.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
The That guy, I am that guy. No, you leave
me no choice because you are a doordler. No no, no, no,
you need what I call nature's nudger. No, no, no,
just dummy starting to put down my Lebanese cucumbers.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
It's like, just back off for a minute. I haven't finished,
and I will only shove it up.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I'm a big that little thing they have next customer
police and putting that little.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Rue of down.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
No, that's not for you to put down there. It's
my responsibility to touch that. I respect a boundary. I
respect a boundary. I'm saying, this is your land, this
is now my land.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
You're putting in the boundaries should be the one deciding whether.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
That slow rummaging around in that big old person. I
think I've got some coupons.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
It is almost like.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
I get two cents of.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
It is almost like a.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
Starter gum that bath.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
It's like, not until I put it down do you
start unpacking your.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Let me tell you this thing, guys. Side note on
this one.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Whose responsibility is it to place that next customer? Please
thing down the baton?

Speaker 8 (28:53):
I reckon it is the current person being.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Hundred What happens if they don't do it? That's bad manners?
So I then have to.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
But you can only do that once all the goods
are out of the.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Because what I would do?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
And I ball it and guess, okay, you need about
another two foot space you've got You've got melons there.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
You know you've got a pineapple.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I used to be on the ten items or less
till when I was eighteen.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I went straight at the top gun academy on that till.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
I put the divided down the other day and the
lady behind me thanked me for putting the divided in.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
This is this is how it should be in an
ideal world. I gave her a little nod alex, what's
it for you?

Speaker 6 (29:36):
Leaving the milk and or the butter out for a
prolonged amount of time, meaning that the butter goes all soft.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Therefore, how what was your house? Well, pretty butter lives
outside in his little house the butter dish, butter dish. No,
it's a good old China one mane. I love a
butter dish your but wouldn't it be really really not
at all? Because she's quite chilly at the moment.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Still have a little lid on it.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, of course it's a little yeah it is. Actually
it's a not to home.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Every morning when I'm making my toast, I went, I
may be here behind enemy lines to in frontier work
on the radio, but the Englishman always has a button
you take his little hat off. It's like a closh
silver service.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Your sir, you have a do you have a toast stand?
You know, the little toast?

Speaker 3 (30:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Actually I should get one from them on my Christmas list.
I love they have a nice hotel.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Oh they put it in that little presentation for.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
You, the langham pa.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, Rea, what's it for you?

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Small thing mine is when you're in a group chat
on WhatsApp and for some reason they have the little
video chat emoji very close to the settings button, too close,
and then you just fire off to the grip chat
a whole video call and then someone's on there online
and now you've got to talk with someone for god
knows how long and you never wanted.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
To talk to them.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
And also that sort of image of you as well
based down into it is chilling.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
From chin up.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
I've yet to see any even Hollywood directors do that
to anyone. You know, we love Brad Pitt beautiful, look man,
chin up? Is he still looking a fuggly not the
rest of us.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Christian O'Connell shower on podcast Things that make You.

Speaker 12 (31:19):
Go Girl, make you get started, and she feels really
good to do that.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Anyway, Thank you to everyone who's paying attention today and
they get the name change. Everyone is texting with Christian
Things that make you go Guru, you're making it too
hard work in yourself. Let's agree with the number of ours.
Someone are putting five hours after the g some are
doing seven, some are doing eight. What's the standard rule
now on how we are spelling gura g and how
many ares?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
I was going to go three?

Speaker 8 (31:53):
Yes, I think three is reason.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
They don't need to wear themselves out.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Who's to less?

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah it is, yeah, yeah, three is perfect. Christian Things
that make me go gurer, and he's respectfully on the
three arts. When you go and get a servo coffin,
it starts the process and the machine tells you is
out of milk. Then you go to the next one
that's also out of milk, gets my beans and a
twist xanto with on your beans twisted.

Speaker 8 (32:18):
I hope he does.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
He's not getting coffee while his car is still at
the bowser though, I hope he's kind of pulling up that.

Speaker 8 (32:24):
That's also a guru.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
You know that is a major one. Yes, you're right.
Christian things make a good GUR. When you buy a
new pair of jeans has two tiny cotton stitches attached
to the label, suddenly need neurosurgeon precision to detach the
stitches without cutting your new jeans.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
Bridget.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's wrong.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
I just.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
The amount of jumpers I've ruined yanking that label out.
I think I've got three dollars. We've got a whole
pinprick in the back. Christian things. That made me go gur.
How news readers keep using the word allegedly, that's some key. Yeah,
that's the law. If you can't just accuse people of
doing it. We don't want to be the law has
to protect people out of court. Yes, Keith, you make

(33:05):
me go gurl right now show, but in prison let yeah.
Things that make you go guru the law defamation, excuse
anybody of anything that would be like America, Christian. My
small thing big raids is when I go to a
petrol pump and the hoses are twisted around each other,
so I have to do a juggling act with multiple
nozzles in each hand to untangle them before I can

(33:27):
fill up my car. This week, Christian, already I've had
to twist two hoses six rotations, which has to be
a new peebee.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Things make you go guru.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
They're wrapping around single cheese slices finding the opening.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
There needs to be.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
A dot there, and that you think they just a
dot will solve it. It's so hard that there's a
perforated thing which just goes tear here.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
It really works, yes, yes, tiny.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
The perforations don't work, Christian.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I hate it when their lights go green, the car
in front of you takes too long going through the
red light and you have to wait for another round
of lights.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Mark. That is actually the worst.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
That is the same as our situation the supermarket. If
the person unloading doesn't respectfully take the little bats on
that says next customer, please same ruling.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
Okay, okay, come on Australia, I'm willing to try your system.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Please do.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Thank you all right, keep the test coming. Things that
make you go Guru that's one G three hours, probably
a radio station somewhere in Australia G Triple R.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Balaner FM, the Christian O'Connell show podcast Christian.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Things that make you go Guru when you go to
pay for your petro at the servo and the person
is filling up the two empty milks at the coffee station.
But Santo needs that doing. They work so hard, those
people because it needs to be a two or three
person job. Now we cut backs profits. They're constantly in motion,
aren't they. I feel like it's so sorry them, Like

(34:58):
we just get the rum roader skates. They're constantly moving.
They're filling up that milk bladder. Then they got the
they're gonna go and press that button so that we
can fill up the car. It's a night met job.
It must be exhausting being there, I reckon, even when
they're at home there hearing that alarm going.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Off that.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
All right, So over the weekend, imagine this. Then we
got this couch last year, right, my wife loves this couch.
O caame lounge love is some cream thing wuli, Oh
yeah time, I'm not sure I can handle cream. Saturday night,
I pulled myself a generous paw of red wine.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I sit down.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
The game's about to start, the pies game, okay, And
for some reason I raised my glass.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
To toast the game.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Can I just say, for a couple of days, had
had a fever, hadn't.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Been very well.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
It's the acts of a madman. Oh hell, the game
James commenced.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
Like a mad king, actually on his meat.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
There was no one there. They were yet to join
me on the cream couch. And then I don't know
what happened next, But suddenly I don't know if some
kind of spas him overcame me or I actually do
believe I was telling my wife this. I actually think
a ghost, a pranky ghost, like a jackass poltergeist fripped
my arm and before my very eyes, the gods, it

(36:26):
went all over the couch, red angry stain, like a
turin shroud of wine.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Oh no, now we've.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Got this stuff the Scotch guard stuff, you know, the
one the guardsmen. So I got the two different sprays.
The next hour, I'm cleaning the bottle. The game is
carrying on behind me.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Does that stuff work?

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Because I've always won?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Ninety five percent of it has gone. But there is
admittedly some heavy duty blotching.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
Our crane couches, but I with three small children, we've
got the same one.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Yeah, it's this carnage. So I had to ring the
company yesterday. If you heard the guardsman.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
So you actually written.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I took out the warranty because I realized it's going
to happen. The begun called the big guns and this
isn't early one of the odds.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I go.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
The guy goes, what's your address?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
And I'll get I'll get Glenn to come out next
week again, and I'm like, you know when they just
mentioned names, I look out for Glenn, I guess some
guy is going to be a big part of my
life next week. What a fun thing or any of
my calendars filling up next week on our week's break,
Glenn's coming around to clean my anyway, He goes, what's
the what's the address? The please, sir, and I'll give
him address. He goes, you're not going to believe this.

(37:37):
This is the second time we'll have come to your
street in the last week.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Oh, you've got to someone out.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Maybe there's a quake going on. Camplain that there's a.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Ghost going house to help get your sin that cheers
to the game.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
I want to cheers the game again this Saturday, just
to tempt the ghost because the guy Glenn is coming
next Monday and tuesdays.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
I will actually part of me wants to trash.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
The couch to see him work.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
It's magic. What's god that I haven't got exactly?

Speaker 4 (38:06):
You know, as well get bang for your buck if
he's going to come.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
It's a crazy staying that couch.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Someone comes and cleans your couch.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
So like like a Ghostbusters, but for couches, just race out.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I remember years ago there was a I just got
a really small ding on one of the panels of
my car, and I found some recommenders. Guy called the
dent Magician. Right, this guy turns up, right, he's all
logoed up. He's got the baseball comp he's like one one.
He's got locos on his shirt, on his van, he's
got a hoodie.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
He is the dent. He's very proud to be the.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Dent Magician, and he goes, listen, this is half an hour.
You know, I've developed the system myself, one hundred percent guarantee. Okay,
I'll have this out. And I go, oh, well, I'm
really curious to see what he did. You mind if
I watch? He went, I do.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Actually, I went, listen, I have a job. I'm very
happy in that job.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I have no intention of learning the tools of your trade, oh,
dent Magician and sending up a rival company.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
I go, what's to stop me? Anyway? Just looking out
my window and seeing what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Do you know what he erected a around the car?

Speaker 6 (39:08):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
We're going to deal with a horse steal what the
dent magician did.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
That's the magician's code. You are right, You're right.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I'm not invited that magic circle anyway.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
It worked though.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (39:58):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Your Furniture Stories.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Christian, we live for Views in Scotland and we spilled
their local drink of choice, iron Brow, on a cream couch.
Nothing and I mean nothing gets iron Brew out of
fabrics if you're not aware of Ironbrew, carbonated bright orange drink.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
All right, fantas, Oh yeah, yeah, they love it.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
We even got a professional cleanings come around. He just
shook his head and said, no, that's permanently staying. No
human is a match for iron Bruce made of girders, Richard, Christian.
I love this one from Spencer. We're looking for your
furniture stories, Christian. When I was in high school, my
dad brought his first ever brand new couch.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
This is a peak moment for any dad.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
The only rule was no eating or drinking on or
near it near it, so of course, when he was
out one night, I spilled orange juice all over it.
I rang my eighty year old nan at eleven PM
in a panic to ask how to clean the cushions
before he got back them. To this day, he has
no idea what ever happened?

Speaker 6 (41:05):
Do you know what?

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Maybe tomorrow we should do stories about what don't you parents?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Stall?

Speaker 11 (41:09):
No?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
There must be so much stuff as the years go by,
you said, I think in a minute, they didn't find
out the time, and now it's like two three decades,
Like Spencer, I don't know when this happened. I'm guessing
quite a few years ago. Dad Stall, no idea.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, tomorrow the show what don't your parents Stall?

Speaker 11 (41:26):
Know?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Furniture Stories thirteen fifty five twenty two, What's yours?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Pets?

Speaker 7 (41:31):
I remember very very well my father was moving my
brother into UNI and he had a wardrobe. We'd bought
his second hand, old wooden wardrobe from about the nineteen thirties,
way a time all those things used to.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Wear and absolute old wardrobes. Now they're all light, aren't they?

Speaker 7 (41:46):
The ones you just flat packet now? Anyway, he had
it strapped to the top of his ute.

Speaker 6 (41:52):
Oh my God with ropes.

Speaker 8 (41:53):
But not strapped well enough.

Speaker 7 (41:55):
Anyway, he went down this big hill and he had
to the car in front of us, I can remember
broke really hardly, so Dad had to break and this
thing flew a tornado.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Rock ski loo taking.

Speaker 8 (42:12):
It really was luckily there was no one too close
to us.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
That kind of killed someone because those are wardrobes were
just to hollow our oak tree in the day.

Speaker 7 (42:21):
Skid it onto the road and spun as it skidded
and just probably didn't even break because those things were solid.
It fell off and it was like the legs came
off it.

Speaker 8 (42:32):
It was just hilarious. So there was no wardrobe, but
then what's what's the next move there?

Speaker 4 (42:36):
The wardrobe on.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
The road passes like the Odco Terrace, so we just
drove by getting new one to leave that.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
There faces still there this day.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
It's a local monument.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
Who is.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
You've been there, Alex? What's your furniture story?

Speaker 6 (42:56):
Speaking of Dad's and furniture, we went to pick up
a beautiful big dining table from Mossman a few years ago.
And moss Man's a very nice part of Sydney on
the Lower north Shore. And as we were loaning up
this beautiful, big sort of oak dining table. We start
hearing this quiet sobbing as we're loaning and into the
into the truck, and it turns out it's the dad

(43:18):
having a little cry as we load up the table
because it shared so many family memories around that table.
He had like foot and I'm like and his wife's
consoling him as we're as we're taking the table putting
it into the back of the truck and we're like, oh,
I didn't know what to do, and he's like, no, no, no,
it's it's it's time we're downsizing.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
So did you take it back?

Speaker 6 (43:39):
No, we thought about that because no, no, no take it no, no, no, no,
it's yours.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
I want you to have met at that table. Now.
I could never you know, certain things I just never unsea.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
But he loved the.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Fact that we had three kids, and he's like, now
I want you to share memories around this table yourself.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Do you know what?

Speaker 2 (43:58):
We still have a dining table like that, And it's
we still from when the girls were like little kids,
when they're in booster chairs.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
Are you you're downsizing? Actually we need a new one.
