Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Three ways to get your stories on the show today.
If they were assome, sometimes give you a little doggie bag.
You know, you just haven't eaten enough of a lovely dinner.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
You don't want to waste it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And these days they make you pack it all up.
They're not allowed to package up now, Yes, they just
give you that little package.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
They always have to sign a waiver at some places. Yeah,
so if you don't reheat it properly and like get sick,
you can't come back at them.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
This happened because years ago, I remember in this city
somebody got sick from food that they ate three days later,
while you couldn't get any food take home because of
one boser and now and then they came up with
the packet yourself for all.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, I was out Saturday afternoon, my wife and some
friends at a Greek restaurant. It was really nice, but
there was only a little bit of my chicken left.
And they said, you don't really. Greeks get very upset
if you don't take all the food. And this guy
was in his sixties but enormous, look like he built
all the Greek colosseums, right, and he went and I
didn't want to go, Oh, I've eaten enough. I was like, yeah, yeah, sure.
(01:11):
My mofe is that there's a time like a listener
half of that, I have to say yes. So he
comes up this big tupper web thing with this tiny handful,
like you give a small dog of chicken grass, and
so I leave with it. And then we go to
a bottle shop and we're buying some alcohol with our
friends to have later on that night, and the lady says, oh,
if you want, by the way, there's a bar out
the back, you can have a drink here. I've got
(01:32):
a couple of beers on tap. So I go, oh, look,
it's quite a warm afternoon. I've got this left of
a chicken. Can I put it in the beer fridge?
She looks like and she goes, my god, there's not
much chicken left, And I went, I know, but it's
a big dupwear thing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
He was very insistent this guys.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, I didn't want to say no, Can I put
it in the beer fridge please?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And she goes, you can, but it looks disgusting.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Please take it with you anyway, I end up having
three beers at this bottle shop.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
With my friend and I've a chicken is still in
that beer froad.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Know someone this week is going to get a bonus prize.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Hope you some trade who's starving.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Just please reheats it properly because I had it Saturday afternoon.
It's now Tuesday. But someone is going to go in
tough day to get a six pack and go.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So I want to know your stories.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I left it behind on nine four one four one
oh four three. Next one you can call in today
and share your stories about and secrets as well. Is
Secret Stashes Patsy. That's just because Patsy was talking to
us last week about your hiding place for you.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Was it the plum puddings?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah, for my Christmas? And you know what, I've had
to move them because Chris and already got into them,
the mini plum puddings. I've got a new hiding spot.
I don't think they're listening so under that dryer that
he's made me, the dryer drawer and the garage. Nothing
was in there And it's the perfect spot because it's
next to the drink's fridge.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
For Christmas, Soft just got a little stash at Christmas.
Stuff pudding.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Surely like moisture and damn yeah, rats, especially.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Werriby rats are the rats of rats. Rats dream of
living in Werriby.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Says you with weavils in your head.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Saw something this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You're right still stop talking about My wife doesn't like it.

We're not living in downtown abbey, missus miggins. Have you
heard about weave and infestation?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So I left it behind secret status and then our
last one today on nine four one four one o
four three.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Objects of Fame.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
If you've got a story, it doesn't matter how weak
the claim to fame is about a famous object, and
I mean fame as an a lister through to zlister.
This was after one of you was in hospital in London,
in the same bed that Boris Johnson was intensive care
when he was fighting COVID a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
If you remember that lovely moment in time.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So objects of fame, now you have something for it's
chucky boy.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yes, there was an Australian film called Takeaway, not exactly
the Castle, but did start Steve Curry genius It was
filmed in our suburban. I would walk past the set
every day to and from school. When they were packing
it up, they actually let's play a little bit of
it because he mentioned something.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
They're going to you've seen this movie, Pats. No, I
actually have around the team, right, and none apart from you.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It wasn't a blockbusker who owns a fish and chip shop.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm nobody say that, mate.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Somebody your tread from Transfish and Chips.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Mate, I'm not even the tread in Transfish and Chips.
That's me, old man, big tread, little tree.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Do you know what I'm going to find that movie
this weekend, Jack, I'm going to watch that seriously. I
think it's part of my education of moving to Australia.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Also started Vince Colosmo and Rose Burn.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Wow, good line.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
So Transfish and Chips had this actual fish and chip
sign made out of wood would hang out of the
store where they filmed it. And then when they were
packing up the set, I went up to them and
they had all this junk on the side of the
road like ready to go in the trash, and I say,
can I have the transfishion Chips on? And it lived
in my bedroom for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Oh my god, that is an awesome one. I mean
you kind of wish you had it still.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Now I'll dig up a photo, yeah, with the transfission
chips on.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, So your stories of objects of fame, secret stashes,
and have you got a story I left it behind?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Three ways you join the show today and share your stories.
Your stories are what you left behind, secret stashes and
objects of fame. When I say fame, I mean it
could be and hopefully will be, and mainly will be
because we're not going to get water wall calls like
you've got accounts from Brad Pear or a nest of
(05:49):
occasion or some Robert de Niro barely I don't know,
maybe barely famous or market. If you're sitting on that story,
do call. Despite my doubts nine one four one O
four three, Christian, I got left behind. My family, including cousins,
went to wet and wild. Both sets of families of
Huming Arbors in the car were stuck in a bathroom,
(06:10):
unable to get out to them. Fourteen minutes to realize
I wasn't with them all. Christian Tawerjack Takeaway is an
underrated Oussie comedy. Nothing beats a good fish and chip
shop movie. Christian Tawjack. My granddad lived danel Finton and
near where they were filming Takeaway, and he got one
of the little retrod His bedroom was used as a set.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Oh what a claim to fan.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So many claims a at the moment about the movie Takeaway.
Now I've not seen it, so I can see this
is a part of my ongoing education down under. I
will be watching it today. It's an hour twenty five.
It's on Amazon Prime. If you've got Prime, I'm gonna
have to see this now, all right, nine four one four,

Good morning. Yes, I got a couch he's in a
few years ago on eBay and it was actually from
a photographer And when I turned up, I had my
sister with me and we had a trailer. He explained
that the couch was in a photo shoot for a
yogurt commercial, so Yo play yoga. He's very famous, so
(07:18):
we were like, oh, that's, you know, interesting. But then
what was even more interesting was his partner came out
and helped us load it on the truck, and it
was Eve from the Shantoosies. We literally stood there in
awe and did nothing, and she and her partner loaded
it on the couch and it was quite a big couch.
(07:38):
So yeah, that was pretty pretty impressive for us. We
were just blown away by advice.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's quite a story, really, the Shantoosie's lifting furniture.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Now did you actually.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Speak about that you were being assisted by one of
the Shantoosi's or you just left it unsaid?
Speaker 6 (07:58):
We left it unsaid. We literally just stood there going,
oh my god. And she's so lovely that cheese.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Was it definitely one of the Shantoosies.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
It was definitely E from the Shanteese.

Yeah, my dad used to stash. This is when I
was kids, so thirty years ago. He used to stash
all his favorite chocolate biscuits so that we wouldn't eat them.
So I had two younger brothers, but I always found
where he had them and tried to train my brothers
not to like eat the whole thing, because that's what
they would do.
Speaker 2 (09:01):

So what got left behind? Not another nonner?
Speaker 8 (16:29):
No goodness, no, no.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
We on our very first big overseas flight twenty years ago,
I took my laptop and put it up in the
overhead locker and got off the flight in London and
left it behind, And unbeknown to my husband, I had
put a ten thousand dollars in the pocket of the laptop,
so I was twitting on it until we could get
(16:52):
in touch with Emirates. We had to go around to
their office in London and tell them where we'd left it,
and they said, yep, no worries, they'll find it, which
they did. But at the end we had to go
back to Hisrow Airport and go reverse through security to
get into the area where they had the laptop. They
were not impressed with us.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I can tell you, so you just cut out.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But what he had like a prepaid credit card of
ten thousand on that yes.
Speaker 11 (17:17):
Even a credit card. It was a cash card, so
anyone who picked it up could it just so?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
And I didn't tell.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
My husband until we got the laptop back, and he
was not impressed, But you got it all back.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You got the ten thousand dollar cash card.
Speaker 11 (17:33):
No one had touched it. The very first thing I
did when they gave me the laptop was go to
the pocket where I put the ten thousand dollars card
and it was still there, couldn't it And had spent
the night in Dubai. That's where they found earth and
then brought it to London for us. No one even
looked in the pocket.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Obviously you're very lucky. Hello, Fantasy calling in nowhere. It's fine,
all right, Now.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We're about to hear a story. Now, I hope this
is true. All right, I hope it's true. Chris, Good morning,
Good morning. You've got a story involving one of the
great Roger Moore legendary James Bond.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So this story involves Roger Moore.
Speaker 12 (18:11):
Yes, and my mom. She was hitchhiking across England and
Roger Moore picked her up.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
The name's Roger, Roger Moore.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Where are you going, darling, That's how that conversation goes
in my mind.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
What did he say?
Speaker 12 (18:28):
Well, yeah, they were heading to London, and they got
to London and my mom and her friend he said,
we're heading on to a party. Do you want to
join us?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Roger Moull's on his way to a party, and did
They obviously went.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
Yeah, no, my mom, I'm being a bit worried. She's
only in the early twenty She said no, no, no,
just drop us off here, that's fine, And ever since
her friend has said, I could have been the next
missus Roger Moore, but you deprived me of that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't think he.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Met his Why is this by picking them up as
hitchhikers pod he was like the world's biggest actor. He's
not getting laid only by a hitchhike.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Three ways to get your stories on the show today.
If they were assome, sometimes give you a little doggie bag.
You know, you just haven't eaten enough of a lovely dinner.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
You don't want to waste it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And these days they make you pack it all up.
They're not allowed to package up now, Yes, they just
give you that little package.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
They always have to sign a waiver at some places. Yeah,
so if you don't reheat it properly and like get sick,
you can't come back at them.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
This happened because years ago, I remember in this city
somebody got sick from food that they ate three days later,
while you couldn't get any food take home because of
one boser and now and then they came up with
the packet yourself for all.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, I was out Saturday afternoon, my wife and some
friends at a Greek restaurant. It was really nice, but
there was only a little bit of my chicken left.
And they said, you don't really. Greeks get very upset
if you don't take all the food. And this guy
was in his sixties but enormous, look like he built
all the Greek colosseums, right, and he went and I
didn't want to go, Oh, I've eaten enough. I was like, yeah, yeah, sure.
(01:11):
My mofe is that there's a time like a listener
half of that, I have to say yes. So he
comes up this big tupper web thing with this tiny handful,
like you give a small dog of chicken grass, and
so I leave with it. And then we go to
a bottle shop and we're buying some alcohol with our
friends to have later on that night, and the lady says, oh,
if you want, by the way, there's a bar out
the back, you can have a drink here. I've got
(01:32):
a couple of beers on tap. So I go, oh, look,
it's quite a warm afternoon. I've got this left of
a chicken. Can I put it in the beer fridge?
She looks like and she goes, my god, there's not
much chicken left, And I went, I know, but it's
a big dupwear thing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
He was very insistent this guys.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, I didn't want to say no, Can I put
it in the beer fridge please?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And she goes, you can, but it looks disgusting.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Please take it with you anyway, I end up having
three beers at this bottle shop.
Speaker 3 (01:54):

So I left it behind secret status and then our
last one today on nine four one four one o
four three.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Objects of Fame.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
If you've got a story, it doesn't matter how weak
the claim to fame is about a famous object, and
I mean fame as an a lister through to zlister.
This was after one of you was in hospital in London,
in the same bed that Boris Johnson was intensive care
when he was fighting COVID a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
If you remember that lovely moment in time.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So objects of fame, now you have something for it's
chucky boy.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yes, there was an Australian film called Takeaway, not exactly
the Castle, but did start Steve Curry genius It was
filmed in our suburban. I would walk past the set
every day to and from school. When they were packing
it up, they actually let's play a little bit of
it because he mentioned something.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
They're going to you've seen this movie, Pats. No, I
actually have around the team, right, and none apart from you.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It wasn't a blockbusker who owns a fish and chip shop.

I'm nobody say that, mate.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Somebody your tread from Transfish and Chips.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Mate, I'm not even the tread in Transfish and Chips.
That's me, old man, big tread, little tree.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Do you know what I'm going to find that movie
this weekend, Jack, I'm going to watch that seriously. I
think it's part of my education of moving to Australia.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Also started Vince Colosmo and Rose Burn.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Wow, good line.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
So Transfish and Chips had this actual fish and chip
sign made out of wood would hang out of the
store where they filmed it. And then when they were
packing up the set, I went up to them and
they had all this junk on the side of the
road like ready to go in the trash, and I say,
can I have the transfishion Chips on? And it lived
in my bedroom for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Oh my god, that is an awesome one. I mean
you kind of wish you had it still.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Now I'll dig up a photo, yeah, with the transfission
chips on.
Speaker 2 (05:20):

Three ways you join the show today and share your stories.
Your stories are what you left behind, secret stashes and
objects of fame. When I say fame, I mean it
could be and hopefully will be, and mainly will be
because we're not going to get water wall calls like
you've got accounts from Brad Pear or a nest of
(05:49):
occasion or some Robert de Niro barely I don't know,
maybe barely famous or market. If you're sitting on that story,
do call. Despite my doubts nine one four one O
four three, Christian, I got left behind. My family, including cousins,
went to wet and wild. Both sets of families of
Huming Arbors in the car were stuck in a bathroom,
(06:10):
unable to get out to them. Fourteen minutes to realize
I wasn't with them all. Christian Tawerjack Takeaway is an
underrated Oussie comedy. Nothing beats a good fish and chip
shop movie. Christian Tawjack. My granddad lived danel Finton and
near where they were filming Takeaway, and he got one
of the little retrod His bedroom was used as a set.

that the couch was in a photo shoot for a
yogurt commercial, so Yo play yoga. He's very famous, so
(07:18):

what was even more interesting was his partner came out
and helped us load it on the truck, and it
was Eve from the Shantoosies. We literally stood there in
awe and did nothing, and she and her partner loaded
it on the couch and it was quite a big couch.
(07:38):

all his favorite chocolate biscuits so that we wouldn't eat them.

they would do.

Speaker 11 (16:32):
We on our very first big overseas flight twenty years ago,
I took my laptop and put it up in the
overhead locker and got off the flight in London and
left it behind, And unbeknown to my husband, I had
put a ten thousand dollars in the pocket of the laptop,
so I was twitting on it until we could get
(16:52):
in touch with Emirates. We had to go around to
their office in London and tell them where we'd left it,
and they said, yep, no worries, they'll find it, which
they did. But at the end we had to go
back to Hisrow Airport and go reverse through security to
get into the area where they had the laptop. They
were not impressed with us.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I can tell you, so you just cut out.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But what he had like a prepaid credit card of
ten thousand on that yes.
Speaker 11 (17:17):
Even a credit card. It was a cash card, so
anyone who picked it up could it just so?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
And I didn't tell.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
My husband until we got the laptop back, and he
was not impressed, But you got it all back.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You got the ten thousand dollar cash card.
Speaker 11 (17:33):
No one had touched it. The very first thing I
did when they gave me the laptop was go to
the pocket where I put the ten thousand dollars card
and it was still there, couldn't it And had spent
the night in Dubai. That's where they found earth and
then brought it to London for us. No one even
looked in the pocket.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Obviously you're very lucky. Hello, Fantasy calling in nowhere. It's fine,
all right, Now.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We're about to hear a story. Now, I hope this
is true. All right, I hope it's true. Chris, Good morning,
Good morning. You've got a story involving one of the
great Roger Moore legendary James Bond.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So this story involves Roger Moore.
Speaker 12 (18:11):
Yes, and my mom. She was hitchhiking across England and
Roger Moore picked her up.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
The name's Roger, Roger Moore.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Where are you going, darling, That's how that conversation goes
in my mind.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
What did he say?
Speaker 12 (18:28):
Well, yeah, they were heading to London, and they got
to London and my mom and her friend he said,
we're heading on to a party. Do you want to
join us?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Roger Moull's on his way to a party, and did
They obviously went.
Speaker 12 (18:43):
Yeah, no, my mom, I'm being a bit worried. She's
only in the early twenty She said no, no, no,
just drop us off here, that's fine, And ever since
her friend has said, I could have been the next
missus Roger Moore, but you deprived me of that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I don't think he.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Met his Why is this by picking them up as
