14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: stories this morning. It's embarrassing mum stories, either just a

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: story about your mum being embarrassing or embarrassing you. I

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: remember when I was thirteen, it was all about my

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: BMX bike. Me and my mate's all have BMX bikes

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: and we went to see BMX Bandits a movie about

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: people like us with Nicole Kidman in. And it's one

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: of those Saturday afternoon at the movies. Rob is packed

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: full of kids, and about halfway through the movie I

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: could hear my unmistakable sound of my mum's voice with

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: an USh. You remember they used to have the little

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: torch yep coming through it all, And I was shrinking

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: down into my seat, going, please, that isn't really, this

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: isn't happening. That isn't actually my mum. What's my mum

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: doing here in the cinema in front of all these kids,

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: including half my school that were there, including girls that

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I fancy as well my mom? The guy said, is

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: they're a Christian O'Connell here. You know, when you've just done,

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: you don't even want to say yes, and it's in

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the dark, you just want to shrink down the set.

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: The movie's been paused. And then my mum says to me,

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm shopping in town. You didn't say what you wanted

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: for your dinner tonight. That's what my mom felt like.

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: She had to interrupt a movie to ask, I've what

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: a good mom? Yeah, you can sell that from a

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: mom perspective. Be me, pats, be me. Do you know

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: how hard it is with a thirteen year old boy?

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: And that happens to you? Even though if I went

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: on to cure the common cold. At that school, I'll

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: still be known as a kid whose mommy came in

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: to ask what you want for dinner? During BMX Bandit.

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: You never enjoyed sitting in the cinema again after that,

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: the truma. Even now, I can't relax. Mom. Was she

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: here again? And what did you want for dinner? What

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: was your request? I was the eighties, so probably nachos takeaway?

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: All right? Looking for your embarrassing mum's stories, Stephanie, because

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: she's still about your great mum.

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, my mom like, she immigrated to Australia in

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: the seventies, so she's European and every time we go shop,

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: she always asks for a discount when she buys her goods.

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: But this time I said, I was fifteen, so I

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: had my own job and now I want to buy

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: my own boots. And I said to her, don't you

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: dare ask for a discount because I'm paying. And she

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: would always go give me special and I said, please don't, okay,

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: because I'm really I'm working. It's my money, I'm paying

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 3: for it. Anyway, I tried the shoes on the Boots line.

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: They were fantastic, I got to the cash registra and

61
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: opened up my Wala and then my mum goes, you

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: give me special, and then I lost her. But inside

63
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 3: I didn't want to crack it in front of the shops,

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: so I just decided I'm going to leave this crazy

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: lady here and I'm walking out. So I walked out

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: of the shops and I kept walking like it's like

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: a big mall. And then my mum runs out and

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: she starts screaming out my name, Stephanie, Stephanie. And I thought,

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: if I stop now, everyone's going to know that that

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: crazy lady is my mother. If I keep walking and

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: I walk out of a shopping law, they're just going

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: to think she's a crazy person. And I'm gotten breeze.

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: But that's what I did. And I actually walked out

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: of the shopping center. And I actually even walked home

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: because I so.

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Your mummy and your weightie.

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

78
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: While she got in the car and she started chasing

79
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: me away, I don't want to talk to you. I'm

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: going home. I'm over. I'm not shoving with you anymore.

Speaker 2: Justin off, you go right first, I want to say

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: I love you mum, so I have to tell this story.

97
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: In nineteen in nineteen ninety seven, I was playing under

98
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: eighteen football. Every week my mum would drive me and

99
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: she would say no fighting. No fighting did not hit anyone.

100
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: I mean anyway, I'm sure every week it had happened

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: that something would happen. Now on the last time I played. Second,

102
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: last time I played, I hit someone. She didn't take

103
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: me the next week anyway, I said, Mum, please take me.

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: Squear I won't hit anyone. She goes, I mean it, justin.

105
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 4: If you hit anyone, that is it? Anyway, what happens

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 4: I hit someone? You know what my mom did? We

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 4: had a VH Wagon Commodore, all right. She drove her

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 4: car onto the ground, ripping up. There was a wetness,

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: salty draft, ripping up the ground. Window down. Top of

110
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: her voice, she goes, justin, what did I tell you?

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: Get in the effing ca.

112
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: I'm not line here and the opposition team were in

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: fits a laughter, and I'm just saying it. I've got

114
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: in the car, because when Mum says get in the f.

115
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: And car especially, it's exactly right.

116
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: I got in the car, got back to the got

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: back to the club that day, and no, no, I

118
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: was going to say the S word, no crap. All

119
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: they kept saying, your mum bringing the next week, you

120
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: bring her down, inspirational. We never won a game that year,

121
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: believe it or not. No wonder that I reckon.

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: If Mom was in the forward line, no one would

123
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: have got me that's amazing, and that, my friends, is

124
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: the story that has talked about every footy season. It's

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 2: just one of those stories and it never gets old

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: and it gets more funnier because you can't imagine a

127
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: driving on to ground, gigging burnout and it's a lady,

128
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: a lady driving as well and swearing to get in

129
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: the f and car.

130
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: So that's my story and.

131
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than a spray for me your mum.

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: You're right. Any coach doesn't get. That's what the D's

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: missed in their season twenty nineteen sees. They should have

134
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: got some of the players mums to come down and

135
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: have a go at them. But driving off the ground

136
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: is incredible.

137
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: We're actually Collin would support her. So, no, she didn't

138
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: steal the car.

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: She's not wrong.

140
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: And I think she would do right in theh Justin.

141
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: That is a great story, believe it or not.

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: My dad just texted me Goes, I can't believe you've

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: just told.

144
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Your mom's in the commodore right now, crashed through your house.

145
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: It's unreal.

146
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, It's Mother's Day and we

147
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: were talking about amazing stories to do with your mum.

148
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to Maria. Now, Maria, how are you. I'm good, Maria.

149
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: So you've got a story about your mum.

150
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: I have a great worry about my mum and how

151
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: much of an idiot she can be. Back in the eighties,

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: I was studying for an exam and Dad was home

153
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: and kept complaining that I'm more than home to making lunch.

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 5: She'd gone up to the bank and eventually she like,

155
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: after about an hour and a half, she rang and

156
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: she said, I'll be home soon. I just have to

157
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 5: wait to be interviewed by the police. And we were like, what,

158
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: I've just stopped the bank robbery. And so she was

159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 5: in the bank and she noticed that the teller next

160
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: to her was being robbed.

161
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: And she yes, the double barrel shotgun and the bella clava.

162
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 5: The norm she reckoned. It was because the guy was

163
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 5: wearing sunglasses and it wasn't a sunny day, and she

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: had all these theories. Anyhow, she heard him say hurry

165
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: up to the teller, and she was putting bundles of

166
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 5: money on the first thing, and she just snapped and said,

167
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 5: you know, my husband works really hard to put my

168
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 5: in this bank, and this guy just thinks he's going

169
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: to walk in and take it out like that. So

170
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 5: as she walked behind him to get out of the bank,

171
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: she tackled him, started screaming. She just grabbed him and

172
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 5: started screaming health and the guy was wearing yes, yeah,

173
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: we didn't. She didn't know it at the time because

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: the gun was in the jacket and the jacket was

175
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: zipped up. But he just shrugged her off and ran

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 5: out of the bank. And so she was like, okay,

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,359
Speaker 5: well I'm going now. They're like, no, he's got to stay.

178
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: I tried, I tried. Cowards did nothing.

179
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: So the guy was using his own car as the

180
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 5: getaway car, and so the police went and picked him

181
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 5: up that night anyway, and.

182
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah that's my car. Yeah, you were in a robbery earlier.

183
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: Oh so so she came home and so she had

184
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: to stay and be interviewed for by the police, which

185
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 5: she thought was very very She just wasn't in her plans.

186
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 5: So eventually she came home, but that night they actually

187
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 5: sent around a counselor. So the bank did so well.

188
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 5: The police and around a councilor to tell her how

189
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: lucky she was. And then she got realized that she

190
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: could have been in danger, but we just thought it

191
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 5: was absolutely hysterical. We called her Rambow from Mouf.

192
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: Mumbo.

193
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 5: The good thing about it was that she actually won

194
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 5: a ten thousand dollar rewards for stopping the bank robbery.

195
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: And so when she finally got the check, she came

196
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 5: home and she showed it to dad and she said, oh, look,

197
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 5: I've got this ten thousand dollar reward. So I'm going

198
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 5: on a cruise to Alaska. You can come if you

199
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: want to that you have to pay for yourself.

200
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I mean, Yomoma is obviously very, very lucky

201
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: because this could have been an entirely different story. But

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: ye's still an incredible act of bravery, even though she

203
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: didn't know the guy was armed.

204
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: But no, it was an incredible act of stupidity. We

205
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 5: loved her dearly that we could not even chris enough

206
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: on her head.

207
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: And she still works to this day as their security

208
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: guard there. That's awesome. I love that story about Mumbo.

209
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: That's great. What's your mom's name. What's this great mum's name, Maria.
