Speaker 2 (00:03):
Podcast Christian O'Connell's show, What are You Never too Old
to Enjoy? For Carl still last one the source bottle farts. David,
this one's just slightly terrifying. When I'm trying through a tunnel,
I won the window down, stick my head out and scream,
I've never heard a joker. Amy going to bed when
(00:27):
Santa leaves Carols by candlelight on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Carmel using coloring books sometimes under a blanket fort. Jennifer
always pushed the try me button on toys in scores, Jack,
What are you never too old for?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
For me?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
At the moment, definitely watching kids movies? And it's never
more pronounced than when Gordy gets sick of a movie
before I do over the weekend, I put him to
bed and watch the second half of Hercules because he
wasn't enjoying it. You're obsessed with that at the moment,
I can't get enough.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Don't remember. Hercules is a great movie.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I think what it suffers from is the songs aren't
as memorable as some others, like Little Hercules Story, then
Hercules Son of Zeus becomes mortal because Hades from the
underworld once.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And half year old god zoned out of that one.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
He turns beyond that, but when he's turning him mortal,
doesn't turn him fully mortal, and so he keeps his
super strength. But he's got to live on earth, not
as a god anymore. And then he's got to I
want to tell you the ending, but he's got to.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think you can. It came out quite a few
years ago. What is the moral of it? The moral?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Keep your super strength?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's not a moral. What's because they always have a
moral those.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You know what? This will ruin the ending, but you're right,
it's twenty five years old.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
At least.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He gets accepted back into Olympus as a god at
the end, but it's Hades or Zeus, his dad's Zeus.
The old Man takes him back. He's defeated.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Hades.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The old Man says, you can come back and live
as a god. But he's falling in love on earth.
So he says, you know what, my God, I love
that you're inviting me back in here. I want to
be back amongst families and gods and live forever. But
I think I'll choose to stay mortal and be on
earth so I can be with Meg.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He chose being human and vulnerable, and he knows he
would have had watch over the weekend now. But now
you know the ending doesn't matter. It's a reassuring ending.
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Katen's got a crazy one for and never too old
to enjoy. Kaitlin, what's yours?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
There is nothing like it? And I always feel like
a kid at Christmas when it happens. But when we
drag our bed into the laund room and we have
a movie night and then we sleep in the lound.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Room, Listen, you can stretch out enough just on the couch, can't.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
You don't need to be any flatter.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It is no way.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
The fact, when we were kids, when my said we
can bring the beds out into the land room, it
was like the best thing in the world. And so
for some reason there's a connection that if my partner's like,
do you want to do a movie not, I'm like,
get the bed, let's go.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So what is it just a mattress? You're not doing
the base as well?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
No, no, not the.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Bass, just the mattress has to be on the floor.
But everything comes with it, and then you've got all
your little snackies.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
No, I don't eve want to think about the crumbs
in bed. You can never clear it again.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh no, my partner's very very clean.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So that you're hoover the mattress afterwards, will you after we.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Will clean everything because it's been on the floor and whatnot.
We'll just clean the whole thing. But it's so worth
it just for that joy.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay. The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Christian O'Connell's show. What are you Never too old to enjoy?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Mel?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Twenty teaspoons of Milo in your chocolate milk? I'm fifty four, stalk.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's more Milo? That is it? That solid? Almost the
spoon could stand up right?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Try stirring that Christian never too old to enjoy fairy
bread or cocktail.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Frank's that's from Wayne me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Jack and Rio have just been arguing with Jack actually
because Jack thinks that ice magic is overrated.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I think we love the novelty of the syrup going hard,
but once you actually got that hard, it's not the
best chocolate. It's not the best chocolate.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Undeveloped palate, I.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Know treats. I am a sweet tooth.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Saying ice magic. The clue is in the title the magic. Yes, yes,
How does it actually work? Because it is magic?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
How do you put a soft like wet liquid and
then it becomes frozen in seconds?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
You're right? Why don't more sauces used that technology?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's a great it's a great show, you know, like
you go to a Thai restaurant and sudden the guy
comes out and he does a whole fla it's like
a magician and he produces the I don't know soy
sauce manchic. You know, you think about the something the
restaurant when they bring the feats and this sizzle walks
through like this is the big show with the steam
and that that's certainly the soy sauce hardens and you've
(05:13):
got to crack it with a spoon.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
