Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
I when I came into the work sun right in
this building that we work in in Richmond, there's some
building work going on at the moment, and I saw
that the lights were on. I thought, they can't be
any trades in there. Now it's you know, it's ten
to six. I looked in the window and there were
two guys. Now only were they at work, they were
both in shorts. I was stunned and impressed.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Right, yesterday, did I hear?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Right?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Coldest day Melbourne in five years.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Matt's freezing yesterday, like chill to the bone stuff yesterday.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So they knew yesterday's probably gonna be another cold day
again today. But they still stuck with the shorts.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
And they don't wear those like they don't wear three
quarter pans Like these are real.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Like wham, George Michael.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
They're real high up on the hemline, a testicle could
pop out.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oh you can see one of the golden eggs. But
they are like they're physical jobs, so they're probably.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Still five degrees. It must be like an ego thing, right,
so it can't be like a bile.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
One of the guys get this.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
One of the guys had gloves, so he's obviously feeding
the colds that put gloves on for the legs sixpence.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Feeling it.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The hands aren't the problems, those knees and the hamstrings.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
And it's everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I've seen it a lot as well.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's a real trady like badge of honor. And I
don't understand it, like you're allowed to wear pants.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I think it's an ego thing for trades.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
So I want to know who else this morning, right
now is in shorts nine four one four one oh
four three. And the other question is why it's head
of cold out there today.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Pretty cold Christian Connell Show podcast, In.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
This very cold weather this morning, who are still in shorts?
I was stunned, incredulous this morning seeing two trades at
work wearing shorts yesterday colder stain five years. Who else
is still rocking their shorts today at work? Nine four
one four one oh four three? And why Christian tim

(02:00):
in packing him in shorts? The old meat and vege
gets too warm in pants. Never ever message me about
that again.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
They get too cold in shorts too, familiars. While you
get some shorts, it is none of my business.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
All this radio shows about the temperature of people's genitals.
I thought we'd made that crystal pea on the show
by now. Maybe put something up online or some advertising
or some billboards about this.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That is foul. Christian.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
If you're a chippy like me that gets through the
entire year in shorts, it definitely asserts dominance over the
other weaker tradees. I don't even own work pounds, just
three pairs of shorts.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Legs.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Should we start wearing shorts?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I couldn't imagine Christian in shorts.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
This is too cold right now. I'm wearing shorts. I
do every day except when I'm feeling a bit crook.
Can't really explain why. I just prefer them, and Christian.
I'm also wearing gloves, like one of those trades you saw.
That's a bit that makes me laugh. It's the little
days of gloves. If you're so tough, Yeah, gloves, Christian.
I own one pair of pants for weddings and or funerals.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, Steve, not asserting dominance at the funeral, No.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
No, no, it takes a day off there from dominance. Christian,
my scaffolder. I wear shorts every day. Not only does
it help you climatize. I never heard of phrase out that,
but also contains my plumber's crack again not my business, contains.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
My plumbers crack.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And if I wear because he continues, contains my plumbers
crack remix crack crack, crack, crack, plummers crack. If I
wear pants, they're constantly punning down and my crackers revealed.
Oh no, Christian had rather cold legs than a cold crack.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
WHI motto for life. I mean that is wisdom there,
rather cold legs than a cold crack.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
All right, let's find out who else is in shorts
right now when it is head of cold out there
this morning. Good morning too, Good morning to Mitch, morning,
Christian morning cut, Hey mate, how are you?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Good morning? Mitch and Mitch. You're in shorts right now,
in shorts right now? And then is that all year round, Mitch?
Because it is cold this week?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, no, you're not wrong, it's very cold, like I
wear shorts all year round and hardly ever wear pants
like outside of work.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
And why is that, Mitch. It's just the thing that
you've always done and you don't really think about it. It's
just what you wear to work.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
It's just what I wear to work. But also the
bottom half of me just doesn't get cold. We're the
top half.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
What a gift.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And so don't you feel the cold like yesterday? Did
you feel the cold? You know, if you're in shorts,
you feel the draft.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh yeah, you definitely feel it. I was important to
year today and my hands were almost purple. My hands
were cold, but my legs were completely fine.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wow. What a look for the point for the ports.
All those posh people down.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
There, The purple handed man is on the loose browling around.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Mitch, have a nice weekend. I'll send you one of
our show beanies. Oh stick it on your knees, all right, Mitch,
have a nice weekend. Let's go to Jack here. Good
morning Jack. Nice to speak to a Jack who's up
and around in live.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Good morning boys.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is it the golf cross right now? Good morning Jack?
Good morning Jack. You're in shorts, mate?

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Of course I am always standing outside in my source
at the moment. O.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
God, I'm in.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Awe of that. And what do you do with your trade?
Are you working outdoors all down the site?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I'm so luckily I get to spend most of the
time in warm headed officers.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
M.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, what are you selling?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Unless you're selling shorts or budgie smugglers, you've got to
pant up surely to sell people stuff.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
I get bullied by my customers frequently. I have always
ten people by day they ask me how I'm in shorts.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
You might want to listen to that feedback. I mean,
they're they're all saying something.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's quite a sort of quite a ground swell of
like Panta what you can ask what do you sell?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Jack?

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I sell caravan parts to manufacturers.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I feel that's appropriate outfit. Actually, yeah, you don't like
you just come off the countervan park. You're dressed in
an outfit.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's a summer outfit.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
All right, I'll send you one of our show beanies. Jack,
have a great weekend.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Caleb. Good morning, Caleb. Okay, Caleb, you in your shorts.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yes, I'll wear those nice skin tight real.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Up.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's more like a mini skirt.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
They're always riding up. If I have to bring them back,
there's more like rags at the moment.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Look for the guys on the site, get this basic instinct,
like you Christian, Yeah, and and this is all year round.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
This is you don't Yeah, I've got leg day tonight.
So it's really proud of them. Actually, so I always
like to show him up.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
This is what I think it is.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I think a lot of trades I've got to be
have got amazing thighs, even as even as a happily
married man. I can't help it's not looking at the time.
You know, you shouldn't go blind, but sometimes you'll see
a nice, shapely, thick thie on the man.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
You can't help yourself. You're doing at least two leg
days a week.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
That's why we're pants in the office, because I'm worried
you're just going to be steering at.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Judge them, I judge those little spinde legs. Caleb, send
me a photo.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I send you, I send you, I send you one
of our beanie hats.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Thank you very much. I do have a flannel on though.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Today doesn't matter. All right, We've got the news coming
up next. It's enough. Caleb. The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast
