Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Christian, we used to have our wedding video from nineteen
ninety two VHS.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
My husband taped Rambo.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Seriously, the replacement show is funny, like binky beer of
your mom and Dad's wedding video.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's the fact that it's a wedding video which is
so cherished.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And I'm guessing for the ones we're talking about here,
they hadn't. They didn't realize that VHS was not going
to be around forever, so they didn't transfer it to
DVD and now you know online. So the big news
has broken this week is announced by Eric Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
We're not making this up. It's not fake us.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
They're building a ninety one story, three hundred and forty
meter golden tower.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You already know where it is, Surfer's Paradise.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Because this is exactly what Australia needs, is another random
megastructure at the side of a road. Because why I've
learned from living in Australia is you love random. I mean,
really really random things at the side of a freeway
or road. So actually I get where Eric Trump's obviously
(01:39):
just been studying the history of Australia.
Speaker 1 (01:41):

know where it begins? Nineteen sixty three? You ever heard
of the Big Scotsman?

about the big potato in nineteen seventy seven? Have you
never seen it? That ten meters lump? It looks like
a poo more than a potato. Nineteen seventy one Lowry
the lobster seventeen meters tall, four tons legend? Has it
(03:17):
the original stories that the plans were drawn in feet,
the designer misunderstood it and thought they meant meters.

Twenty dads? Thank you? Stay awake.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Sorry Patrick just did him with some team staff personal problems.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We go here, Carod and welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Good morning, How are you?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm good? And what giant thing have we seen in
swan Hill there's a giant murray cod back on the
fish Theneald. He's quite a spectacle.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Arnold cot I love the fact he's got his Arnie
the cod.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
To name it every time to get the basis.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
When I was reading up on all this yesterday, the
giant potato that is this right that sady was also
sadly overwhelmingly voted Australia shit.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And a lot of people voted for the sorry anyone
was reading up on it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They applied for planning permission, but the council turned it
down to a visitor center in the middle of the potato.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Hey, that is a great idea, a visitor center in
the middle of a fiberglass potato.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Do you know what I'm going to consider this our
first year of this national show, the first ever national
Breath Show Australia, a failure if on the last show
that you're in December, we're not unveiling a random, massive
fiberglass sculpture.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Now. For this to truly be effective, it must be random.
If that, I'm going to call this prod project confusion.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I want people who don't listen to show going what
is that?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
A bear? Roller skating?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Smoking a pipe?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And you must be random, so just texting random words
right now of things, I think we need to set
us as a target team and build a giant sculpture
by the end of this year, okay, and of course
it has to be by the side of a road
and maybe have a visitor center in the middle of it.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
You're right? What lobster? Prawn?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yes, yes, yeah, Robin, thank you very much you call.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Are you welcome.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Let's go to Patrick now, Patrick, good morning. Let's make
the producers job. I knew that they were just daydream
and they were just catching disease. Then I thought, I
just wake them up. Let's keep that on there every
day if I need to get their attention. Oh god,
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
We're at work and Patrick's on the line.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Name morning, Patrick, I'm good and I think are you
calling from the school run? By the sound of it, Patrick, Yes, well,
thank you very much for clarifying. Now Patrick on the
school run, Thank you very much for calling to being
part of the show.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
What giant thing do you like?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Thankt?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Strawberry Inkulu Victoria? Is that there's a giant strawberry? Have
you seen it?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, I've seen this before because my family.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, well they always take you down there filling it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And how big is that strawberry? How many mums and
dads on top of each other? Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Twenty dads? Thank you? Stay awake.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Sorry Patrick just did him with some team staff personal problems.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We go here, Carod and welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Good morning, How are you?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'm good? And what giant thing have we seen in
swan Hill there's a giant murray cod back on the
fish Theneald. He's quite a spectacle.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Arnold cot I love the fact he's got his Arnie
the cod.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
To name it every time to get the basis.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
When I was reading up on all this yesterday, the
giant potato that is this right that sady was also
sadly overwhelmingly voted Australia shit.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And a lot of people voted for the sorry anyone
was reading up on it.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They applied for planning permission, but the council turned it
down to a visitor center in the middle of the potato.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Hey, that is a great idea, a visitor center in
the middle of a fiberglass potato.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Do you know what I'm going to consider this our
first year of this national show, the first ever national
Breath Show Australia, a failure if on the last show
that you're in December, we're not unveiling a random, massive
fiberglass sculpture.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Now. For this to truly be effective, it must be random.
If that, I'm going to call this prod project confusion.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I want people who don't listen to show going what
is that?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
A bear? Roller skating?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Smoking a pipe?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And you must be random, so just texting random words
right now of things, I think we need to set
us as a target team and build a giant sculpture
by the end of this year, okay, and of course
it has to be by the side of a road
and maybe have a visitor center in the middle of it.
