Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday,
I saw a guy and he was putting up you
know those adverts, and they've got the little tear off
bit down the bottom with a phone number. You're still
going strongs, Yeah, yeah, Google auts, I know you can
get all that Facebook ads and instagrams. Now there's still
people selling their wares or always like a piano shootor

(00:21):
or some year twelve nerd. He's very good at maths,
doing masstituition to dim kids.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Supermarket notice boards and telephone poles.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's it. They still have their little tear strip down
the bottom with the phone numbers. I know we we
have times on the bins. Maybe we need to move
on to telegraph poles with our phone number one four
three it's a little tear strip.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Or just the frequency one four point Threember.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And remember it in the morning tomorrow when an you
wake up. Anyway, I was waiting for coffin. It's buy
one of these big telegraph poles, and I'm just making
small talk with this guy because he was putting something
up and it was my age, and I said, oh
what are you What are you selling? He said, I've
got the side hustle and I've just started it. Uh,
I'm in a George Michael tribute band and whoa, Yeah,

(01:06):
that's a lot to take in about eleven am. You know,
when you're like, you know, sometimes you don't know what
is the appropriate response, because I couldn't work out does
he want me to say you look like George Michael?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Is he meant to be George or is he just
one of the backup Well, it was.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
A fraught situation when you do look like George Michael,
and I was sinking. I hope that's what he wants
from this communication. Or is he go no, no, I'm
and you richly idiot, what's up with you? And he
goes thank you. Yeah, loads have been saying it, and
I finally decided to do it as a side So
I really hope it works out with this guy. He
had I reckon. That's about another thousand more of these

(01:42):
flies for telegraph poles. Look out for them if you're
wondering if there's a new one up there with a
grainy looking George Michael who looks like he's been living
in a cave for twenty years. It wasn't the best photo.
You know, it's been photocopied of the many times. It
looks like what's the image of Jesus Christ in the
turin shroud poster? Look like that George Michael Wham tribute band.

(02:04):
If your weddings christenings and you are like Jesus is
coming back as a George Michael tribute artists. Anyway, I'd
love to know what side hustles you have. Melbourne is
a city where a lot of people have little side
hustles that you hope maybe might ignite and take off,
or it's just a fun thing you do. What is
your side hustle? Christian Connell Show podcast. All right, so

(02:25):
we're talking about your side hustle. Do you have a
side hustle? This comes from San Cree, Christian.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
We do.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
My girlfriend I made some twenty one numbers for the
lights back on our twenty first in March, and ever
since then we've been hiring them out so other people
can enjoy them too.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I guess they're are oversized.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Mass four or five hours, but again it's a two
and a one. It's a very specific. It's just it's
a big market. You know, you're getting new customers whose
kids are turning twenty one.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Or you could also do twelve actually or one or
two first or second.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah again it's limited for scalability. Oh, he's going as
more has been going so well. We've started to make
some more numbers. Great over it. They've always had a
board for one day.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
We hope to collect the set.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Wait, there's other numbers. Where do you find this out?
They've now got an eight or two hundred and eighteen.
When we live forever, very very so longevity. Hi, So

anyone wants a male celebrant, I'm the roady female celebrant.
He's the roading and we don't charge anymore, so we're
quite unique.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
So when you're the Roady, what do you do to
plugging in the microphone to a taker?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh, just troubleshoot in the in the background, like leap
on top of sprinklers that come on unexpectedly, chase away,
chase the way a tiger snake. We have done so
much in so you're.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Really running interference and security. There's a lot going on
if you're the Roady.

Speaker 3 (04:32):

bride and groom none the wiser.

Speaker 1 (04:37):

You're a joyer. But you add so much. The great
celebrants that can really add so much to a special day.

but I can marry you in French and German as well.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. What is your
side Hustle? How many years ago when I first moved here,
I've got on an uber one day and I was
just making small talk with the guy and he said, well,
this is this is my side hustle. I said, what
is your other job? And he goes, I'm a rabbi,
and I was like, all right, I thought that would
be like a full time thing. Don'tbody getting ubers. It's

(07:30):
a little priests. He goes numbers, it down numbers, and
so I guess everybody. Everybody needs a side hustle rabbis,
even even on you Uber right now? All right, so
what is your side hustle? Nine four one four one
o four three Sean?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Good morning, Hi Christian? How you doing?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm good, Sean. So what's your side hustle?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Mate?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I make Jack Daniels barlight out of the bottles.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh well, that's a recycling as well as great idea.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah. Well, one night I'll sit home and I had
all these ex empty bottles, and I thought what am
I going to do with them? So I just decided
to make some barlots And now I tell them, Oh.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, and how much you're sending them for? Where can
people find out more?

Speaker 4 (08:13):
On marketplace? Usually four bottles will cost you fifty bucks.
But if you supply me the bottles as the big keeper.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, I was going to say, because at some point
you're paying more for the Jack Daniels full, then you
have to drink it to make them light.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah, I can't keep them. The more I drink, the
more bottle I have, So.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yet that is not sustainable. That business and physical and
health more all right.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
The better the business goes, the work your health.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
You see, you're just staggering onto shark tank drunk.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
The worst is when people ask you for different bottles
other than Jack Daniels and the like world. I don't
really drink that, so you have to give me the
bottles yourself.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Graft business proposition, Sean. What's the name of the Have
you got a company name or no?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
This is on marketplace just Jack Daniels barlot for so
and yeah. We go from there.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Love it all right, buddy, good luck with it, Kay,
thanks for God Sean. Kate, good morning, Hi Christian. Yeah,
good morning, Kate. What's your scientistle.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
We make cubby houses that go over dining room tables,
the little one.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh my god, what a great idea.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
You need one. They love under there. He always under there.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
So we were in an apartment for the first six
years of my little girl's wife and I lamented that
we couldn't have a cabby house. So we came up
with using the dining room table. And I've also saved
our linen cupboard in the process because I'm not pouring
all the sheets over it.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
You know what it's look, it's so much fun making
those little camps indoors. That's always under the table, right
and you get the bed sheets out. So how does
it work? What have you got a couple of designs
to be able to sort of slot them over the
dining table.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
So we've got it.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
We've got five designs, We've got a shop, we've got
a house. We've got an Aussie bush, space station and
fire truck.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
See that. And from those backdrops you can make so
many scenarios and stories.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, honestly, it's a game changer. With our little girl,
she just tides under there. I shouldn't say we don't
see her, but we don't see her.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
And I might get one for my seventeen year old.
Actually sometimes it's a fuggy moon. I might go you
go out to go for a walk about the bush under.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
The I've considered it for myself.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, you should do them for grown ups. How many
times during a grown up there you feel like crawling
under a table and pulling down some sort of top.
It's Christian here, here's lately eleven o'clock zoom meeting. He's
in his Cabby house. I'm buying so off you. I'm
going to buy the whole five. Why do you welcome through? Yeah,

(10:47):
and you got your website because I'm got moms and
dads right now, we're heading into school run then I'll
be thinking about this. If you've got limited space, and
if you've got you're not so limited for space. Either way,
this is a great idea for kids. Where can they
get them?

Speaker 5 (11:00):
You can go to our website which is Petit maison
play dot com dot Au.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's a tricky one for the old words spellers, word spellers,
I'd say Australians.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I mean even the fact you called them word spellers
are words they are spelling. Get any Cabby House track
the classroom one spellers? Oh, trigger one for us? Word spellers?
What about the rest of us?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
How would you spell Mason play?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Interesting question? I just google cubby houses, I throw over
the dining table and hopefully the se O will do
the rest for me. That website.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Want more kates, Petit maison play dot com dot au.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Gotcha love it? Can I commission you to make another Kubbyhouse?
What about a radio studio.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yes, look, I'm open to ideas.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Let's talk. Okay, Kate, thank you very much, you cal.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
My, good luck so that thank you.
