Christian, have you youtubed Wizard of OARZ synchronized with Pink
Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (00:34):

the music matches the movie. The album I think starts
when there's like the third roar of the movie. It's
called Dark Side of the Rainbow. It's a really incredible experience. Yeah,
very cool, Christian. And this this is another text here, Christian.

Just good songs, just good topics, just good radio gold.
Interesting fact about the Wizard of Os. It's a scene
where they are going through the fields and the good
Witch cast a spell to weight them up and it
starts to snow. The snow is actually asbestos, I mean

(01:25):
different time. I did not know this. It was commonly
used in movie making then for snow during that time period.
I know. Wonder they all the actors and act at
that time went Craig Gray working.

Yeah, this person who said that she didn't put your
name on it, but signs off with asbestos removalist.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Fact of the day tomorrow, all.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Rights, everybody welcome. Extreme opinions. What hell are you prepared
to die on? We are not talking politics.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's bigger than politics, extreme opinions. Watermelon is just crunchy fruits.
Stop pretending it's fruits and grow up favor extreme opinions.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Never liked it.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's just crunchy water.

It is the fruit of some they are. You're having
it now.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
It's not sumer.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
You're right, but I've never seen you chomping into water.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Now, I wouldn't have one first thing in the morning.
You're on the refreshed now, in the middle of a
hot day. I have just played backyard cricket. What I
want is a crunchy This.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Is what you're going to lose the ashes. I'll wait
and see extreme opinion.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Already we'll give the ozziest watermelon. We'll give them whatever oranges.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Good old oranges. We have another extreme opinion.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
People who say let's circle back should be fired immediately.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And there's a team member that does this quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know who you are working from home right now
in talkie, we ain't circling back to anything.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
In my friend ever, there's another one raids it up
the flagpole. I just want to put this up the
flag Whose guy thinking? Yes, who's guy thinking? Get Outs
who stand up as soon as the plane lands are
monsters and should be banned from flying for ten years.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I am very militant about this.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
If I'm in a row and someone is behind me
trying to move forward throughout the aisle, I will do
everything in my power to.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Blow you pass into staff. Those are my extreme opinions.
That are the hills.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm ready to die and we're not circling back. Watermelon
is crunchy water, and sit down. The planes just landed.
You're an adult at like one rio. What have you
got extreme opinions?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
You should never ever question your footy coach's decision making.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
What they know, they don't.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
So much more than you on level three know way
more about the best attacking.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Mints thousands of hours, they have millions of data points,
they have a whole team, and you sitting in your
car think you know more than them.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
No, you think you know who should be elected?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, don't you?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
No, no, no, I know just as much as Goody.
I should be running the d's from my couch.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
And assistant at least I disagree.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's contentious. I know that's fighting talk.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Every selections post on the Swans SA's always should have
picked these, should have picked these.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Can't believe mate, you don't know. You don't know anything.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
The best people are running those clubs. Yes they they're not. Yes,
and fired after thirty nine days focus when was your
last premiership? Yeah? And also not being funny. You choke?
You choked?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
What's that good to do with it?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's because she coaches rubbish.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
If I picked the team, he would have gone even worse.
No way to trust that.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
You don't know that?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yes, yes I do.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I reckon for all fans, they should do a lottery
and for one should be called the fan round one.
What a great price there, one lucky fan is allowed
to be the super coach and actually pick the team.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, right, you don't. You didn't step away. You let
the prose do all the during the game, but you
picked the team. You take a training session.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
I would love to watch that a couple of.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Few laps fellas Patsy is to be.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I just spumped into particericating by the way, and I said,
were you off to you?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm just going to go and have a world of
tests to make sure she understands what you mean the
tone of extreme opinion.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It's not extreme opinion.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Problems should be sent back. Some offense. Some offense meant.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
I've only got one, all right, I've only got one
of them. That is, a microwave has no role to
play in making a cup of tea or coffee.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Oh agree, my wife, does this really a cup of tea?

Speaker 3 (05:52):
In the fat's disgust?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Put it in the air fry.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
It's mile hair fryer.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Extreme opinion needs to be a kettle, boil that sucker.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Do not put it in a microwave. It's ridiculous, it's lazy.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
And also to word does it it gives it a
funny sort of skimming surface to it. Things were skin
on the top and extreame opinions, Alex, what have you got?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
A man of mine serves these kids cold baked beans.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
No cold bake beans.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
You warm up the baked beans. They've got a hot
razing savages.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Actually, either to ask, I eat bacon raw? Does anyone
else do that?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I just die.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, it's now get your prepares in order to go
and find a priest to give you a last rice,
which mean raw straight off the pig.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I'll just get like, I'll buy a packet of bacon
and then I just eat it raw.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't always cook it, but.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You can from it.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm gonna be honest, this is too extreme opinion. You
don't do that.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Tell me you no idea because I didn't realize it
was weird until I started living with my partner.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Was like, what are you doing? That's like I'm just
snacking on some bacon.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So you buy the bacon out the fridge, right, it
has to be kept, and you think you just open
up and eat it raw.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, I won't eat the fatty bits, but I'll eat
the main like the Russia crazy. Even if it's fresh,
it's like salty ham.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's actually delicious.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
But I have asked for extreme opinions. It's living up
to this billy. I'll say that today, text me yours
extreme opillions? Oh four seventy five three one O four three.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Christian, I lost six k eating nothing but bacon for
a week.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh as in like I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't think the problem here is whether it was
heated or raw. It's the fact that someone lost six k.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Where do they?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I mean, there's so many fads, aren't there about how
to lose weight, primal diet, keito. You know, it's like
I've never heard of the bacon die neither.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
It's that's delicious.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
It does who does another bot?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Now we are studying a new feature called extreme Opinions.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's really off to a would start with telling us
each raw bacon and I've never had an issue with it.
But it doesn't sound right or safe.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Now that's a good point. I did look it up.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
All the answers on Google and the internet. The health
authorities they do say you probably shouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Whould be listening to the health authorities.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I had no idea. I've always eaten it my whole.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Life, Christian, I'm with Rio. This is Cassy. Raw bacon
is delicious.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's really good.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
And Cassie goes on to say, obviously you've got to
choose the ripe bacon, not the cheap stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yes, Maria's defense. My father would sometimes eat raw sausage, those.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Raw cheese kranskies. I'll have okay, yeah, but I think
that's there's smoked.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah, you mean like a ready kind of any kind
of sausage you would when the pink so yeah, pink
each sausage means, oh my, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Christian, I'm with the Rio. It smoked me. I don't, don't.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm sure it's not yet meat, Christian, Marie was the
only one. My savager brother also eats bacon. He came
just just like ham.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's what yours. The same merchant also likes to eat
a tomato like it's an apple. Oh of sight.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
The image of that has already tickled me today, Connor,
thank you. So generally speaking, it's not a great idea
to eat bacon. Raw bacon is cure, but it's not cooked,
so it can still harbor back to he or parasites
that cooking would normally kill off. If you want to
be safe, it's always best to cooking until it's nice
and crispy. Michael has sent me that from chatchipt.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Christian. I'll tell you what's an extreme opinion of mine.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
People who use the word guestimate should have dictionaries thrown
at them.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
You either guess or estimate. There's no combining.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
What's the difference?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I don't know. Ps.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Raw bacon is delicious, Christian mine the only one who
really is just sort of hit. Heaved out loud, staring
at my radio when Rio said he ate raw bacon.
Where's the bucket and where is the nearest hospital?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Goodbye? Rio, Christian.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Android users have got severe issues and the professional out
I agree.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
We're psychos, psychos in hiding. No, why would you bother?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's a bit cheaper, it's cheaper and it's the same product.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Every time I send a message to an Android user
and you don't light up blue.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
It is infuriating because every time you guys send something
you got on some special eye message group.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yes, and we're left out in.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
The dial up gangs.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Flat earthers. Christian extreme opinion. Tea is just dirty water?
How could you say that?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh not a nice cup of twine. The greatest gifts
in the world. I'm enjoying my Irish tea right now,
A couple of the morning. It's actually number seven of Barri's.
This is what powers to show my friend love this stuff.
Sue the Boss is saying an extreme opinion about Champagne. Ah.
She said it's just overpriced. See dry white wine. No way,

(11:11):
it's made by Benedictine monks.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
She han't had a good.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
One century perhaps he should put a ps And if
anyone says you just haven't had a good one, Sue
the Boss has well.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
She also texted me before saying that she's currently drinking
tea made in the microwave and loving it.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh no, good can't help. So she's rocking in an
android phone. All right. That's the end of this week's
edition of Extreme Opinions, a Christian O'Connell show podcast
