The Christian O'Connell show podcast yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I got this great text from Spencer Christian. When I
was in high school, my dad brought his first of
a brand new couch. The only rule was no eating
or drinking on or near it, So, of course when
he was out one night, it spilt orange juice all
over him. I rang my eighty year old Nan at
eleven at night in the panic to as so they
cleaned the cushions before he got home.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
To this day, he has no idea to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So that is why we want your stories about what
your parents Stall don't know. My dad, you know, I'm
a fifty two grown up man. My dad stall doesn't
know because I keep them hidden when I'm around him.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
That I have tattoos. Oh, surely. The one I first
got is eight years ago. It's on your wrist. I
keep it covered up a worse shirt jump on. My
kids are like you've grown. You've grown, man. You live
the other side of the world. You know. When I
was back at Easter time because I had a new one.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Then I was made sure that the sleeves were pulled down.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Ground me, ground me. I'm fifty two.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What is it about the power parents have over us company? Yeah,
well I just know my mom knows Dad would frown
on it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, so it's just like you know, it's funny, isn't it.
Now it's sort of grown up. You want their approval.
And sometimes when you're with your parents, like who you
are and your time and your life now collapses and
you pick up like an old character when you are
ten and you do, you go time travening. You can
get you're ten year old Christian anymore? You have fifty
two year old man who lives in Australia. What do
(01:55):
you worry about your dad? What's your tell you off?
Take your pocket money?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It's not no, it's not. It says death to all
and around and.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So yeah, my dad's still doesn't know I have a tattoo?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
What's your parents still not know?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Back in high school, me, my mate Cooper, and my
other mate Jordan went to a Grinspoon concert in the city.
Great Song. We got picked up by her mom and
dad at midnight after the show, and we reaked, like
just wreaked of alcohol. Came home, dropped Jordan and Cooper off,
and was getting a proper Allison Lee dressing down.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I still remember us. You really think we're that stupid?
Do you think we're that stupid? We wouldn't notice.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I was someone's got to go under the bus here
and it ain't me. It's actually the loveliest, like one
of the nice Cooper got us out. He was hamm'd.
I actually haven't had a drop, mom, but it was hammered.
That was ki breath, stink of it. We were telling him, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
(03:02):
we don't we don't do that stuff. But he was
insisted picked the wrong one. Anyone has a dodgy mate,
and that you always peak that one. It's not the
good one.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They don't believe that if it peaks Ian, yes or
some shady mate. Yeah, okay, so I'd love it. They
listened to the podcast. I'm sure that's you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'd love to know if Mom still thinks that it
was Cooper.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
She knew all she knew.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
There's no spider alerts in this one. Patsy watch your
parents still not know.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Mom doesn't realize she will now because they listen. Hey, Mum,
I used to sneak into Mum's Christmas trifle sherry under
the bench in the kitchen, have a little sippy set,
just a little sippy, so sweet on my lips, And
Mum would tuck me into bed, her and daw to
be watching the DoD Lane Show, and I'd sneak down
and just have a little squeaky sweep and then back
(03:55):
to bed. Used to sleep like an angel.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
What really?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, that's so old schol the pants origin story like
an old man. That's like such a funny repellion.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's such an ancient drink. Yes, it's the drink of
grandparents and moms and dance, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Sherry?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And you're right, always at the Christmas triflele Christmas time
is the only time I've ever seen it out.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, that's right, so sweet.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
So sweet, like a bottle would last five years. You're right,
that's trifle.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yes, I love a trifle.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Makes a mean try.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I love a trifle old school, You don't. You don't
see the round so much anymore, Jelly, that terrible trifle.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
You haven't had one of mine?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh you bring it to Christmas and we'd put it
right at the back of the fridge and so she
couldn't see it, actually could. Would you make a trifle
for us? I would love that.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Will as long as you going to be any sherry
in it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
We know where it's gone, Pats like.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
You did my anti biscuits.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh no, they were jaw breakers. What's in the trifle?
What layers are we talking?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
It's like a jam fancy cake and you drench it
in alcohol, let it sit for like twelve hours, and
you have custard, and there's red jelly and there's cream.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Jelly sponge going on. All parts work.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes, it's like a sweet explosion.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's not a jelly sponge custard. They all meant to
go together in one.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They do colours, whole world of colors, humans as.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I want to try.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I do want to try, but I'll make little individual
ones and if you.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Could be bothered, I would love that. I haven't had
a trifle in years. You had to have a good trifle,
so that'd be nice.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Oh this is a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, it's any way your mum could make it. Yeah,
just a flashback to those as biscuits.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It was four years ago. I still haven't passed it.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's actually undigested in there an antique coin, no women pats,
maybe an anzac biscuit?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
What's only mom and dad still know? All those years later?
Hello to Jerry, he's just got back from his holiday
in BALI. Nothing to do with the story, but it's
just nice to know. I always like to know what
your business were you're up to, Christian. When I was
growing up in Ireland in the seventies, my dad would
give all the relatives a box of biscuits for Christmas.
My sister and I would open up the wrapping and
(06:46):
eat the good biscuits from the bottom ley of the
box and then rewrap it, shove it back under the
tree for my dad sanded to pass on to relatives
minus any decent biscuits years gone by.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He's dead.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Christian's past we never knew if he knew or those welatives.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I just said anything to him. I love that, Jerry,
I can imagine that.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Who didn't you sometimes sneak under the Christmas tree, unwrap
a present to see what it was, and then wrap
it back up.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Me and my sister always used to do that. Christian.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
My parents stall don't know. I lost my driver's license
for about six weeks. I was speeding through Brayside and
a cop city in a factory driveway with a radar
gun book me. It was the start of a long weekend,
so with the loss of triple de merit points, I
lost my license instantly. I used to visit my mum
and dad's house at least three times a week. I
had to get my boyfriend at now husband to drive
(07:36):
and park out of the front of the neighbor's house
next door so mom and dad wouldn't see him driving
my car.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Laborate, Christian. They still don't know. It's over thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Thank you, Brackets. April Bracket's not actual name. Thank you
very much. Please keep them coming. You can text me
oh seven five three, one oh four three. Let's take
some stories on air now, Steve, welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Good morning, Christian, how are you going.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I'm good, Steve that's the caller mate. So what do
mum and dad still know, Steve?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, my parents done know that. Me, my me and
my brothers to share regio, but there was two rollers.
We used to sneak out of the regim at my
time catch up with our neighbors and because of the
having in the neighborhood. To this day, I don't know
about this.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So you would break out of your bedroom, your words,
catch up like you got much to catch up with
when you can. How was going today? What's geography like?
By it's just going to catch up, stay in touch.
And what would you do at midnight?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Dare?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I ask?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Well, I've never heard of the game lock at Ginger?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh yeah, I used to love playing that, Yes, before
there was the Internet.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, basically, you tell you tell rio Steve.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
The ginger would be like you would just walk down
the neighborhood, knocking like someone's door or ring the doorbell,
and then you would just hide and you would just wait.
Just look at their reaction list.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We didn't have teak tok, we didn't have Instagram. We
had knock down Ginger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I know that as Ding dong dash. Yeah, there you
go the same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How is the fun, holiday fun, how the fun. They
always used to know as well, you get this, I
know you know these parents are, and you go, oh
my god, oh my god, they know what lyrics are.
It was one thing to get yelled at, but the
dreaded phrase, we know your parents are?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Do you know what? You know? What I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
We get back? Why don't we go and play with
listeners not doing ginger? Why why say goodbye to all
that fun? I actually think I would. I would love
to go and just knock on a strange door in
the suburb I don't live in. Is it bloody Amazon drivers?
(09:46):
Yeah right, if you if you find me, you win
a prize. Down Ginger. You should hire an actual Ginger
person to play the game. Matt Rown, he's not playing
at the moment. Knocked down Ginger off sas Steve, great story,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Let's go to Liz. Good morning, Liz, oh good morning.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Yes. When we were younger, my girlfriend and I, when
we're teenagers, we used to tell our mom and dads
that we would go to Saint Louisa's listen for ballroom
dancing classes and are quite excited about that because we
were learning the fox chart and all the old stuff.
But we did give us money, but we wouldn't really go.
We would go in to our boyfriend's houses and get
(10:30):
up to mischief and then M'm back to Saint Teresa's
and we make up all this rubbish about what kind
of ballroom dances that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We used to do.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
An a nearly a year.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, show us the tango? How about even going for
two years? So learner our kids.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
We want nothing, but not at Saint Teresa's.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Lizzie, great story, Thank you very much for calling him mate.
You're welcome, David, welcome to a show. What don't mom
and dad still know to.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
This day they have no idea? We were going away
on a family holiday. I was about eighteen, just got
my license and I said, I'm going out with some
make the nightclub and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
We had really strict parents. We had to be home
by sort of midnight back then. And I said, no, no,
I won't be that late, won't be that lame. We
have this thing where the front light was left on
so Dad would wake up and he saw the light
on you. No, you're still out good.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We had that, yes, the front light being left.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
On, so I had to lay down the groundwork with
my sister to set her alarm for midnight or one
am or whatever it was, to wake up, turn off
the light, and then I then set up. It's like
a cross between Mission Impossible and peris Bill's Day Off.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, it's very elaborate. Stingness is oh to get in
the back door to unlatch it.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Believe, I'm not going to tell you how I broke
into the house, but anyway, but came home literally is
like quarter to seven in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And then that's that's a good night out. That's a
solid all night.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And then so basically managed to break into the hair,
into the back door, get him, lock it up, go
to my room. Just as I'm going in my room,
get him. My dad getting up and I'll kick it off.
The shoes and I'm jumping in the bed and go.
And then he just he walks in the door literally
seconds after pulling the dinner up, knocks and goes, come on, Dave,
time to get up.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
We got longer. It is. It's the fairest it's the
fairest moment.
Speaker 2 (12:27):

My parents stall don't know. I lost my driver's license
for about six weeks. I was speeding through Brayside and
a cop city in a factory driveway with a radar
gun book me. It was the start of a long weekend,
so with the loss of triple de merit points, I
lost my license instantly. I used to visit my mum
and dad's house at least three times a week. I
had to get my boyfriend at now husband to drive
(07:36):
and park out of the front of the neighbor's house
next door so mom and dad wouldn't see him driving
my car.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Laborate, Christian. They still don't know. It's over thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Thank you, Brackets. April Bracket's not actual name. Thank you
very much. Please keep them coming. You can text me
oh seven five three, one oh four three. Let's take
some stories on air now, Steve, welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Good morning, Christian, how are you going.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I'm good, Steve that's the caller mate. So what do
mum and dad still know, Steve?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, my parents done know that. Me, my me and
my brothers to share regio, but there was two rollers.
We used to sneak out of the regim at my
time catch up with our neighbors and because of the
having in the neighborhood. To this day, I don't know
about this.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So you would break out of your bedroom, your words,
catch up like you got much to catch up with
when you can. How was going today? What's geography like?
By it's just going to catch up, stay in touch.
And what would you do at midnight?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Dare?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I ask?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Well, I've never heard of the game lock at Ginger?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh yeah, I used to love playing that, Yes, before
there was the Internet.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, basically, you tell you tell rio Steve.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
The ginger would be like you would just walk down
the neighborhood, knocking like someone's door or ring the doorbell,
and then you would just hide and you would just wait.
Just look at their reaction list.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We didn't have teak tok, we didn't have Instagram. We
had knock down Ginger.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I know that as Ding dong dash. Yeah, there you
go the same thing.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How is the fun, holiday fun, how the fun. They
always used to know as well, you get this, I
know you know these parents are, and you go, oh
my god, oh my god, they know what lyrics are.
It was one thing to get yelled at, but the
dreaded phrase, we know your parents are?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Do you know what? You know? What I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
We get back? Why don't we go and play with
listeners not doing ginger? Why why say goodbye to all
that fun? I actually think I would. I would love
to go and just knock on a strange door in
the suburb I don't live in. Is it bloody Amazon drivers?
(09:46):
Yeah right, if you if you find me, you win
a prize. Down Ginger. You should hire an actual Ginger
person to play the game. Matt Rown, he's not playing
at the moment. Knocked down Ginger off sas Steve, great story,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Let's go to Liz. Good morning, Liz, oh good morning.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Yes. When we were younger, my girlfriend and I, when
we're teenagers, we used to tell our mom and dads
that we would go to Saint Louisa's listen for ballroom
dancing classes and are quite excited about that because we
were learning the fox chart and all the old stuff.
But we did give us money, but we wouldn't really go.
We would go in to our boyfriend's houses and get
(10:30):
up to mischief and then M'm back to Saint Teresa's
and we make up all this rubbish about what kind
of ballroom dances that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
We used to do.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
An a nearly a year.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, show us the tango? How about even going for
two years? So learner our kids.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
We want nothing, but not at Saint Teresa's.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Lizzie, great story, Thank you very much for calling him mate.
You're welcome, David, welcome to a show. What don't mom
and dad still know to.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
This day they have no idea? We were going away
on a family holiday. I was about eighteen, just got
my license and I said, I'm going out with some
make the nightclub and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And he said.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
We had really strict parents. We had to be home
by sort of midnight back then. And I said, no, no,
I won't be that late, won't be that lame. We
have this thing where the front light was left on
so Dad would wake up and he saw the light
on you. No, you're still out good.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We had that, yes, the front light being left.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
On, so I had to lay down the groundwork with
my sister to set her alarm for midnight or one
am or whatever it was, to wake up, turn off
the light, and then I then set up. It's like
a cross between Mission Impossible and peris Bill's Day Off.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, it's very elaborate. Stingness is oh to get in
the back door to unlatch it.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Believe, I'm not going to tell you how I broke
into the house, but anyway, but came home literally is
like quarter to seven in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And then that's that's a good night out. That's a
solid all night.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
And then so basically managed to break into the hair,
into the back door, get him, lock it up, go
to my room. Just as I'm going in my room,
get him. My dad getting up and I'll kick it off.
The shoes and I'm jumping in the bed and go.
And then he just he walks in the door literally
seconds after pulling the dinner up, knocks and goes, come on, Dave,
time to get up.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
We got longer. It is. It's the fairest it's the
fairest moment.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well really and timing, David, great story, very well told,
