Matthew, we've got to hear your story. 0:05:37.620 --> 0:05:39.600 You say you've got a great story about Bon Jovi 0:05:39.660 --> 0:05:43.190 at Eastern Creek Raceway in 1996. I want to hear it. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.820 I tell you what, something I can't stop thinking about 0:05:46.840 --> 0:05:50.820 the year of 1996. Today on The Time Waster. Today, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.730 October the 21st, is the Back to the Future day. 0:05:55.150 --> 0:06:00.490 And do you know what I realized? So Marty McFly 0:06:02.150 --> 0:06:06.110 only goes time traveling 30 years. So in the first movie, 0:06:06.630 --> 0:06:08.530 he goes back from 1985 to 1955. If Back to 0:06:08.550 --> 0:06:20.200 the Future was made today in 2026... And Marty McFly 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.520 goes time traveling the same period of time, three decades. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:24.930 He goes back to 1996. 0:06:24.930 --> 0:06:29.190 Oh, no, I hate that. Oh, don't say that. 0:06:29.210 --> 0:06:31.610 I suddenly realized this yesterday when I was reading up 0:06:31.710 --> 0:06:36.029 on it all. And it changed my day. I was like, wait, 0:06:36.070 --> 0:06:38.030 the 90s is 30 years ago? 0:06:38.050 --> 0:06:38.770 That's crazy. 0:06:38.910 --> 0:06:41.290 And do you remember when I remember going to sea? 0:06:41.570 --> 0:06:43.110 You would have done Patsy and Pete, going to sea 0:06:43.130 --> 0:06:45.540 back to the future. And he goes back into this 0:06:45.620 --> 0:06:47.660 and it looked like his kids, like an ancient time. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.120 And there was, you know, all those old timey songs. 0:06:51.170 --> 0:06:52.050 Yeah, the 50s. 0:06:52.110 --> 0:06:53.050 It was like, wow, that's old. 0:06:53.090 --> 0:06:53.400 Yes, the 50s. 0:06:53.410 --> 0:06:56.830 Look, a different era now. Yeah. From where we are today, 0:06:56.990 --> 0:07:00.330 October the 21st, and to go back 30 years, the 0:07:00.390 --> 0:07:04.370 same time. It's 1996. That's crazy. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.060 I was grade six, I think I was. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.640 And I think the Fremantle Dockers launched in 1996 as well, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.800 didn't they? 0:07:13.860 --> 0:07:17.300 Back to drop. I think in the grand final, I 0:07:17.340 --> 0:07:21.140 think North won the grand final. I think Manly won 0:07:21.790 --> 0:07:23.170 as well. It's 30 years. That's crazy. 0:07:23.230 --> 0:07:23.330 Yeah. 0:07:26.930 --> 0:07:27.370 Yeah, I know. 0:07:27.450 --> 0:07:29.710 And now everyone's wearing the same clothes. The cargo pants 0:07:29.770 --> 0:07:33.450 are back. Are we progressing? 0:07:34.370 --> 0:07:36.150 Let's not get into that. It's the bright side of 0:07:36.170 --> 0:07:36.590 the dial. 0:07:37.250 --> 0:07:39.950 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:07:40.630 --> 0:07:43.010 Christian, 30 years ago, I was turning 34 and I'm 0:07:43.030 --> 0:07:47.030 in labor. Can you take me back to the future, please? Christian, 0:07:47.090 --> 0:07:49.920 I've got a great Bon Jovi story. Back in the 90s, 0:07:50.050 --> 0:07:54.550 Bon Jovi were playing at another radio station, Triple M. No, 0:07:54.570 --> 0:07:56.870 I didn't get rid of it. And we were camped 0:07:56.930 --> 0:08:00.830 out the front waiting for him to walk through. That's 0:08:00.870 --> 0:08:03.350 back in the day when camping out for like tickets 0:08:03.870 --> 0:08:07.250 and things was a big thing. We never met him. 0:08:07.270 --> 0:08:09.110 Went back to the car and had a parking ticket. 0:08:09.170 --> 0:08:14.650 Then suddenly we see him leaving. We followed him back 0:08:14.710 --> 0:08:16.030 to the hotel. Do you know what? We could do 0:08:16.070 --> 0:08:19.130 a whole show about following people. It never goes well. 0:08:19.540 --> 0:08:20.960 You've been on that when you're like a two or 0:08:20.980 --> 0:08:24.630 three car possession sets off. You're lucky if you make 0:08:24.750 --> 0:08:27.550 it 1K, don't you? And you get so annoyed with 0:08:27.570 --> 0:08:30.030 the person that turns into sort of breaks up the chain. 0:08:30.550 --> 0:08:32.550 And then you have to pull over. Oh, they've just 0:08:32.590 --> 0:08:36.130 gone ahead. Signal out the window. We're going to pull over. 0:08:37.689 --> 0:08:40.849 When he came out, we followed John Bon Jovi back 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.979 to his hotel where he was staying. And I got 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:43.999 a speeding fine. 0:08:44.780 --> 0:08:44.899 Oh, no. 0:08:44.900 --> 0:08:46.260 Because I was going so quickly. 0:08:46.420 --> 0:08:48.939 A parking fine and a speeding fine. 0:08:49.059 --> 0:08:52.199 It's an expensive day for you. And we still didn't 0:08:52.260 --> 0:08:55.599 get to meet him. Peter, maybe next year we try 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.569 and reunite you with Jon Bon Jovi, the meeting that 0:08:59.609 --> 0:09:03.729 you never got to have. Now, listen, so Australia's intern, Pete, 0:09:03.770 --> 0:09:06.069 is out today at a very, very busy cafe. A 0:09:06.390 --> 0:09:11.010 brilliant one. It's called Top Paddock, 658 Church Street. The 0:09:11.069 --> 0:09:13.219 easiest way to know where this place is, many of 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.300 us will know, It's Church Street is the big long 0:09:16.339 --> 0:09:19.609 street with all the furniture shops. My wife once took 0:09:19.630 --> 0:09:21.809 me to Top Paddock and we had a fantastic brunch there. 0:09:21.890 --> 0:09:24.549 Then I realized, wait, this isn't a date brunch. I 0:09:24.589 --> 0:09:27.329 was then paraded around various furniture shops for the next 0:09:27.390 --> 0:09:31.080 two hours. I was fed. So I was maybe 20% 0:09:31.079 --> 0:09:34.179 less grumpy than I would have been on an empty stomach. Also, 0:09:34.199 --> 0:09:36.459 if you want to know the location, it's very near 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.059 the brownest river in the world. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.300 Hey, don't you talk about the beautiful. 0:09:40.319 --> 0:09:43.309 It's the brownest. Clean it up. It's beautifully brackish. It's 0:09:43.329 --> 0:09:45.510 the filthiest river in the world. I love Melbourne. This 0:09:45.550 --> 0:09:48.489 is my home, but it is the filthiest river. Flying 0:09:48.510 --> 0:09:51.890 back into this great city, Melbourne, from Sydney on Friday. 0:09:52.329 --> 0:09:53.870 And we're flying over the city, and then I was 0:09:53.890 --> 0:09:55.410 trying to just get my bearings, and I saw that 0:09:55.569 --> 0:09:57.469 mucky old brown river, and I was like, I'm home. 0:09:57.719 --> 0:10:00.619 All the e-bikes discarded there, the shopping trolleys. 0:10:01.020 --> 0:10:04.769 It's good to be back. The brownest river in the world. 0:10:05.390 --> 0:10:07.510 I mean, and also, Melbourne Tourist Board, you're welcome to 0:10:07.550 --> 0:10:10.879 have that as a cash rate. You know, the brownest 0:10:10.949 --> 0:10:14.559 river in the world. Oh, that is a sign. So, Pete, 0:10:14.579 --> 0:10:16.240 we need a better code word than the one you 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.059 came up with that you teased us with on our 0:10:19.099 --> 0:10:22.160 WhatsApp group chat yesterday. that you'd actually come up with 0:10:22.199 --> 0:10:23.880 the greatest code word ever. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.749 Yes, yes. 0:10:24.790 --> 0:10:25.300 Code word. 0:10:25.479 --> 0:10:27.229 The code word is code word. I just thought it 0:10:27.250 --> 0:10:29.670 was a little bit outside the box, a little bit different. 0:10:29.709 --> 0:10:31.210 I think it's nothing but in the box. 0:10:31.569 --> 0:10:32.429 You never left the box. 0:10:32.449 --> 0:10:32.969 Oh, no. 0:10:33.069 --> 0:10:36.309 I thought that because I tested it on Chuckle Sister 0:10:36.609 --> 0:10:39.029 Tina and she laughed so much. 0:10:39.170 --> 0:10:41.840 I thought, yes, I've nailed it. 0:10:41.849 --> 0:10:44.349 Listen, once a week our little Greek friend takes a 0:10:44.390 --> 0:10:47.300 day off and casts spells on team members who've wronged her. 0:10:48.439 --> 0:10:49.879 Oh, no. 0:10:49.900 --> 0:10:52.470 She gets that old Greek nonasai, whatever they called it, 0:10:52.489 --> 0:10:54.649 the yashama, and they put a hex on one of 0:10:54.670 --> 0:10:56.590 the team. Oh, no. 0:10:56.689 --> 0:10:58.020 I've got nothing else up my sleeve. 0:10:58.140 --> 0:11:01.119 Also, you know how she has issues with you. when 0:11:01.140 --> 0:11:03.839 you accidentally encroached into her area where she normally stands 0:11:04.219 --> 0:11:06.919 in the post-show meeting. Yeah, that's right. She deliberately set 0:11:06.959 --> 0:11:08.740 you up going, oh, yeah, that's a great idea, Pete. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.660 You're probably winning an. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:11.280 Award for that. 0:11:11.300 --> 0:11:13.379 She's Trojan horsing you like her ancestors. 0:11:14.079 --> 0:11:16.419 Don't mention it to anybody else. Just go straight on 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:17.500 air with this goal, Pete. 0:11:18.439 --> 0:11:19.980 So she's setting me up to fail. 0:11:19.979 --> 0:11:23.240 100%. Smart move. Smart move. And you won't be the 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.270 only one stitched up like that. So, Ben, listen, here's 0:11:26.300 --> 0:11:26.959 what we're going to do. 0:11:26.979 --> 0:11:27.249 Mm-hmm. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.650 I want everyone to close their eyes right now, you listening, 0:11:30.829 --> 0:11:32.609 only if it's safe and appropriate. Obviously not if you're 0:11:32.630 --> 0:11:35.809 operating heavy machinery or you're driving a car. Keep them 0:11:36.030 --> 0:11:40.150 always peeled. The rest of you at home or maybe 0:11:40.170 --> 0:11:42.249 you're at your desk, whatever you're doing right now, licking 0:11:42.270 --> 0:11:46.210 the windows. I don't know. It's not my business. That's 0:11:46.229 --> 0:11:49.360 the new Triple M listeners who've come on from Bowen. Sydney, welcome. 0:11:51.819 --> 0:11:54.559 Close your eyes. First word that comes into your mind, 0:11:54.699 --> 0:11:56.099 say it. For me, beef mince. 0:11:56.780 --> 0:11:56.850 Oh. 0:11:57.209 --> 0:12:02.150 Bean, donut, crazy. 0:12:02.170 --> 0:12:06.709 It's a very interesting snapshot of our minds there. 0:12:08.140 --> 0:12:09.240 So we got, sorry, what was it? 0:12:09.780 --> 0:12:15.920 Beef mince, bean, crazy, and donut. Isn't Homer Simpson's constant 0:12:15.979 --> 0:12:18.300 internal monologue, donut? 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:19.420 That's what came in there. 0:12:20.079 --> 0:12:22.100 I think we go with donut. Donut. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:22.920 There you go. 0:12:22.959 --> 0:12:24.720 There's your code word. Donut it is. And that gets 0:12:24.739 --> 0:12:27.360 you a free small coffee from 8 this morning at 0:12:27.429 --> 0:12:30.949 Top Paddock. Drop in, say hi to Australia's intern. 0:12:31.410 --> 0:12:33.229 The Christian O'Connell Show. 0:12:33.469 --> 0:12:33.910 Go on. 0:12:34.270 --> 0:12:35.110 Podcast. 0:12:35.870 --> 0:12:39.670 Today, October the 21st, Back to the Future Day. Christian, 0:12:39.689 --> 0:12:42.329 just hearing Huey Lewis in the news, the song from 0:12:42.370 --> 0:12:46.620 the first Back to the Future movie. Fun fact, in 1985, 0:12:46.620 --> 0:12:50.520 that year, Three songs came out with the same name, 0:12:50.540 --> 0:12:53.599 The Power of Love. Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Huey Lewis, 0:12:53.620 --> 0:12:57.259 he just played, and Jennifer Rush. All had top ten hits. 0:12:57.929 --> 0:13:01.529 This is true, Dave. Wow. That's not a useless fact. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.590 That's a great fact. You're right. All called The Power 0:13:03.609 --> 0:13:06.309 of Love. Christian, I've also got a Bon Jovi story. 0:13:07.069 --> 0:13:10.249 When they came to Australia for the huge Slippery When 0:13:10.290 --> 0:13:13.890 Wet tour, me and my girlfriends decided to wax school 0:13:13.929 --> 0:13:17.129 so that we could hang outside the hotel room all day. 0:13:17.620 --> 0:13:18.939 We only caught a glimpse of them and had to 0:13:18.979 --> 0:13:21.499 go home, pretend like we'd never been there. That night, 0:13:22.339 --> 0:13:27.809 sitting with my parents, watching the Channel 7 news reporter. Oh, no. Who, 0:13:27.949 --> 0:13:32.530 lo and behold, who do they see standing behind the 0:13:32.589 --> 0:13:36.849 news reporter? Me and my friends. I was caught wagging 0:13:36.949 --> 0:13:41.020 school on TV. Maybe we do a phone-in this week 0:13:41.059 --> 0:13:44.130 about why are you on TV? There have been so 0:13:44.150 --> 0:13:46.330 many people being caught out. I remember, Rio, didn't we 0:13:46.349 --> 0:13:48.169 get a story a couple of years ago about a 0:13:48.189 --> 0:13:50.250 guy who took a sickie to go to the cricket? 0:13:50.510 --> 0:13:51.150 Yes. 0:13:51.589 --> 0:13:55.489 I think he caught the ball. Yes, yeah, yeah. The office, 0:13:55.510 --> 0:13:58.259 because it's Australia, were obviously watching the cricket and they 0:13:58.309 --> 0:14:01.939 see Dave, who apparently had diarrhea, making a killer catch. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:03.620 That's right. 0:14:04.339 --> 0:14:05.120 But worth it. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:05.819 Yes. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.939 Yes, another show. We got into talking about the birds 0:14:08.979 --> 0:14:11.960 and the bees and there were so many incredible messages 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.150 that came through Christian, in the 70s, we had a 0:14:16.270 --> 0:14:19.690 night session in grade five at primary school where there 0:14:19.710 --> 0:14:21.889 was a talk and all the parents and all the 0:14:21.910 --> 0:14:24.250 kids had to come back to learn about body change 0:14:24.290 --> 0:14:27.269 and the birds and the bees. My dad was meant 0:14:27.310 --> 0:14:28.990 to take me and it was going to start at 0:14:28.989 --> 0:14:33.760 7 p.m. We had dinner strictly always at 6.30 p.m. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.540 Nothing ever got in the way of that. Needless to say, 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.920 I missed most of the chat. at the school talk because, 0:14:39.979 --> 0:14:42.320 God forbid, Dad missed his after-dinner coffee. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.210 Oh, wow. 0:14:45.260 --> 0:14:48.140 Christian, you were talking on the show yesterday about healthy Harold. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.170 I'm also friends with an ex-Harold Hand. That's now two 0:14:53.210 --> 0:14:53.410 of them. 0:14:53.650 --> 0:14:54.930 Wow, that's good. 0:14:55.010 --> 0:14:57.290 Christian, my mum sadly passed away when I was 11 0:14:57.290 --> 0:14:59.289 years old, so when it came to me going through 0:14:59.310 --> 0:15:01.549 the changes from a girl to a young woman, I 0:15:01.570 --> 0:15:04.530 was sitting in my room listening to a tape playing Prince. 0:15:05.570 --> 0:15:07.590 I hope you really didn't find out from Prince. That 0:15:07.650 --> 0:15:10.320 is not an appropriate adult to find out about the 0:15:10.359 --> 0:15:13.200 birds and the bees. But my door opened and my 0:15:13.220 --> 0:15:16.500 dad threw a pack of surfboard pads and a book, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.859 Where Did I Come From, which had a smiling sperm 0:15:20.910 --> 0:15:21.700 on the front cover. 0:15:21.770 --> 0:15:22.830 Yes, yes. 0:15:23.130 --> 0:15:23.830 Job done. 0:15:23.850 --> 0:15:28.769 So Prince and the book. Christian, I learned about the 0:15:28.790 --> 0:15:30.690 birds and the bees by being handed a copy of 0:15:30.790 --> 0:15:32.900 Where Did I Come From and being told that I 0:15:32.930 --> 0:15:35.649 needed to read it to my sister's who are 19 0:15:35.650 --> 0:15:38.889 months younger than me. No input from mum and dad 0:15:38.930 --> 0:15:43.130 at all. Totally different generation, Kylie. I grew up knowing 0:15:43.190 --> 0:15:45.970 nothing about the birds and the bees. Mystery in my house. 0:15:46.050 --> 0:15:48.610 My mum was a nurse and dad was an industrial chemist. 0:15:48.650 --> 0:15:52.880 They were also naturists. Oh, wow. 0:15:53.140 --> 0:15:53.560 Cool. 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.499 We spent a lot of weekends and holidays at nudists, beaches, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.390 clubs and camps. Wow. I saw everything. 0:16:01.570 --> 0:16:01.850 You do. 0:16:02.550 --> 0:16:04.450 It's the number one rule. It's the whole thing. It's 0:16:04.489 --> 0:16:06.509 like Fight Club. The first rule is you've got to 0:16:06.530 --> 0:16:11.540 be naked. Some people were not discreet. My parents also 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:18.160 talked about very, very frankly about everything and nothing was sugar-coated. 0:16:18.180 --> 0:16:18.310 Oh, wow. 0:16:18.460 --> 0:16:21.479 That sounds amazing. We're still trying to find out more 0:16:21.500 --> 0:16:27.759 about this. So does anyone know about Burt Newton's narrating 0:16:27.780 --> 0:16:30.739 a cassette about the birds and the bees. We've had 0:16:30.780 --> 0:16:34.060 a look around on the interwebs and we can't find anything. 0:16:34.359 --> 0:16:37.550 I believe Pete's even messaged Patty Newton to see if 0:16:37.650 --> 0:16:38.370 she knows anything. 0:16:38.410 --> 0:16:43.369 That poor woman doesn't need to hear about this. Some 0:16:43.489 --> 0:16:47.620 shady thing he did on the side for cash. Was 0:16:47.660 --> 0:16:50.000 Pete doing that? Did anyone ask him to? What have 0:16:50.020 --> 0:16:52.379 you been told about him reaching out rogue operations? 0:16:52.420 --> 0:16:55.119 We never asked Pete to do anything. Everything he does 0:16:55.140 --> 0:16:56.119 is completely rogue. 0:16:56.350 --> 0:17:00.070 Imagine poor old Patty getting that message yesterday. Hey, hope 0:17:00.109 --> 0:17:02.590 you're well. By the way, did Bert narrate a cassette 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.840 about the birds and the bees? 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.580 And so obviously haven't heard back from Patty. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.710 What a surprise. Christian, I stole my mum and dad's book, 0:17:14.190 --> 0:17:16.290 The Joy of Sex. If you were a certain age, 0:17:16.310 --> 0:17:20.890 you remember that. These crude line drawings of people having fun. 0:17:21.010 --> 0:17:23.609 Was it like a Kama Sutra sort of situation? 0:17:24.120 --> 0:17:26.850 No, it wasn't as anything exotic as that. It was 0:17:27.350 --> 0:17:29.050 a couple of very hairy hippies. 0:17:30.470 --> 0:17:31.390 Right, okay. 0:17:31.430 --> 0:17:32.670 Really hairy hippies. 0:17:33.650 --> 0:17:35.650 And the different mumbo steps that are on all five. 0:17:35.690 --> 0:17:39.430 That's right, yeah. Yes. Quite badly drawn. I like someone 0:17:39.450 --> 0:17:42.760 who'd done it on one of those old school Etch-A-Sketch. 0:17:43.120 --> 0:17:43.240 Yes. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:44.900 Christian, when I was 14, I came home from school. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.860 My mum gave me a book with pencil drawings. She said, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:54.020 if you've got any questions, ask me. These are incredible. Now, Rio, 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.310 we were talking about Healthy Harold yesterday, which still blows 0:17:57.330 --> 0:18:00.450 my mind, that Australia thought the best way to educate 0:18:00.490 --> 0:18:03.290 young people about the changes in their body was to 0:18:03.350 --> 0:18:06.170 make them go into a blacked-out van. 0:18:07.270 --> 0:18:09.670 Yes, that was for some reason, and still is the 0:18:09.740 --> 0:18:14.520 Australian approach. But there was a really famous widespread rumour 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.000 at our school that seemed to pass through generation to 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.400 generation to generation that when. 0:18:19.180 --> 0:18:20.440 You hit year six. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.879 you get to go to Healthy Harold's house. And everyone 0:18:26.360 --> 0:18:29.379 from like year three, kindy to year four. 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:30.350 Weekend at Harold's? 0:18:30.570 --> 0:18:32.750 A weekend at, yes. And I don't know what, I 0:18:32.810 --> 0:18:34.610 remember hearing it for the first time and going, oh 0:18:34.930 --> 0:18:36.070 my God. 0:18:36.390 --> 0:18:37.830 Huge, huge of truth. 0:18:38.090 --> 0:18:39.970 And it would be a huge house. You'd imagine like, 0:18:39.990 --> 0:18:41.590 imagine a giraffe's house. 0:18:41.610 --> 0:18:45.090 Giraffe, that long old neck. Also, why did they pick 0:18:45.130 --> 0:18:48.570 the giraffe out of all the animals to teach you about? 0:18:48.590 --> 0:18:51.840 Because the, It's such a big, elongated animal. 0:18:52.300 --> 0:18:55.380 Yeah. Look at this. A lot of questions probably we'll 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:56.200 never know the answers to. 0:18:56.210 --> 0:18:56.570 You're right. 0:18:56.810 --> 0:18:58.630 The least of which I think actually is about the animal. 0:18:58.670 --> 0:19:01.070 All about the darkened van. Of all the things that 0:19:01.110 --> 0:19:03.690 you were taught as a kid at school in Australia, 0:19:04.010 --> 0:19:05.629 why was that the only lesson where you had to 0:19:05.670 --> 0:19:08.520 go into a blacked out van? I need a royal 0:19:08.570 --> 0:19:11.560 commission on this. I will not rest until I have answers. 0:19:12.120 --> 0:19:13.600 All right. Let us know. How did you find out 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:19.470 about the birds and the bees? 0475 031043 And does 0:19:19.510 --> 0:19:22.950 at least one other person know about this bird? I'm 0:19:23.010 --> 0:19:27.790 not going to say it. Patty is refusing to answer 0:19:27.870 --> 0:19:29.760 our questions. We need answers. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.100 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.880 Talking about how did you find out about the birds 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.320 and the bees this morning. You want to share how 0:19:39.360 --> 0:19:42.240 you found out or how you didn't find out. 0475 031043. Christian, 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:48.950 when I was young, this is good morning, Adam. I 0:19:49.030 --> 0:19:51.010 also pinched my parents' copy of The Joy of Sex 0:19:51.370 --> 0:19:55.990 with the Japanese illustrations. It made me feel slightly inadequate. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:03.440 They were very big body parts. Adam. Christian, the rumor 0:20:04.120 --> 0:20:08.210 is now carrying on about kids getting to stay with 0:20:08.270 --> 0:20:11.930 Healthy Harold. Oh, wow. My six-year-old has listened to the show, 0:20:12.590 --> 0:20:15.430 and when you guys were talking about it, she was like, yay. 0:20:16.070 --> 0:20:19.960 She now thinks... She's going to Healthy Harold's house. And 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:21.580 she will. She's so excited. She's going to tell all 0:20:21.620 --> 0:20:22.500 her mates today at school. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:23.919 It'll be awesome. 0:20:24.360 --> 0:20:27.000 Now, we're trying to get through the end of this 0:20:28.220 --> 0:20:30.060 rumor that one of you said that you found out 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.780 you listened to a cassette voiced by the great Burt 0:20:33.900 --> 0:20:36.640 Newton about the birds and the bees. Just to be 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:38.600 reminded of the great Burt Newton and what a great 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:39.190 voice he had. 0:20:39.630 --> 0:20:42.830 And that's the singing voice of Dick Cranbourne. Dick was 0:20:42.870 --> 0:20:45.470 born Richard Cranbourne in Bairnsdale on. 0:20:45.430 --> 0:20:45.850 July 30th, 1905. 0:20:45.830 --> 0:20:47.790 He is talking about something to do with that area, 0:20:47.830 --> 0:20:49.230 but this is the history of 3DB. He tried his 0:20:49.290 --> 0:20:51.750 luck in Melbourne at the tender age of 15. What 0:20:51.810 --> 0:20:54.950 a first job as a waiter. On his first day, 0:20:55.010 --> 0:20:57.110 he spilled a tray of ice cream over a customer, 0:20:57.310 --> 0:20:59.010 and his new career was finished. 0:20:59.030 --> 0:21:00.690 I wish I'd found out about the birds and the 0:21:00.710 --> 0:21:04.370 bees by listening to a cassette narrated by Bert Newton. So, 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:10.340 intern Pete, message Hattie. No answer yet, obviously. I've gone 0:21:10.460 --> 0:21:13.950 on to chat GPT. Because obviously this is the smartest 0:21:14.450 --> 0:21:18.140 machine in the world right now that knows everything. If 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.879 you're looking for a connection between Burt Newton and the 0:21:20.940 --> 0:21:23.880 topics of the birds and the bees, there are a 0:21:23.900 --> 0:21:26.480 couple of likely references you might be thinking of. It 0:21:26.580 --> 0:21:31.570 cites us. The Christian O'Connell show is the only reference. 0:21:31.710 --> 0:21:32.350 We could have told you that. 0:21:32.370 --> 0:21:34.730 In a recent radio broadcast, the team ran an extended 0:21:34.790 --> 0:21:37.390 segment on how people learned about the birds and the 0:21:37.430 --> 0:21:39.330 bees and sex. How does he know all this? And 0:21:39.350 --> 0:21:43.369 sex education. Sex education. Brackets remembering things like Healthy Harold 0:21:43.410 --> 0:21:46.690 and the anatomical mannequin Tam. The recall of AI is 0:21:46.730 --> 0:21:50.910 better than our producers. But Newton's name was brought up 0:21:51.290 --> 0:21:56.850 or tagged in the same episode context. Everything we discuss, 0:21:56.950 --> 0:21:59.190 all the gibberish on the show is being eaten up 0:21:59.230 --> 0:21:59.930 by AI. 0:22:01.090 --> 0:22:02.650 That's why AI is getting stupider. 0:22:03.470 --> 0:22:05.169 It's a way to blame. 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.930 Well, the person that sent us this This message yesterday 0:22:09.090 --> 0:22:11.510 is on the line now. Josh, good morning, Josh. Welcome 0:22:11.550 --> 0:22:11.970 to the show. 0:22:14.010 --> 0:22:14.830 Morning, Chris and David. 0:22:14.910 --> 0:22:15.290 How are we? 0:22:15.770 --> 0:22:18.270 Yeah, we're good, Josh. Now, listen, we loved getting your 0:22:18.290 --> 0:22:21.070 message yesterday about you finding out by listening to this 0:22:21.220 --> 0:22:23.330 cassette about the birds and the beasts by the one 0:22:23.370 --> 0:22:27.300 and only, the legend, Bert Newton. Now, what can you 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.560 tell us about it? Apparently, you called your dad yesterday 0:22:29.580 --> 0:22:30.600 to see if he had memories. 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:32.860 I did. 0:22:32.940 --> 0:22:33.280 I did. 0:22:33.340 --> 0:22:36.040 After the show, I listened to you yesterday. After the show, 0:22:36.060 --> 0:22:38.470 I rang him and I handed it to him. And 0:22:38.510 --> 0:22:40.650 he goes, yeah, yeah, I remember doing it. I remember 0:22:40.670 --> 0:22:43.310 sitting you down in your bedroom when you were about 12, 0:22:43.310 --> 0:22:44.750 put the tape on and then walked out. 0:22:45.130 --> 0:22:46.070 He said, he. 0:22:45.950 --> 0:22:49.610 Remembers it was Bert. I'm still scarred now, 50 odd years, 0:22:49.630 --> 0:22:51.440 you know, and I'm still on my brain. I can 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.400 hear his voice now. And he remembers it, but he's 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.680 got no idea where he got the tape from. Maybe 0:22:57.700 --> 0:22:59.820 it was some bootleg from a trust and treasure or something, 0:22:59.920 --> 0:23:01.300 I'm not sure. 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:05.320 I love the way that your dad sort of set 0:23:05.340 --> 0:23:08.230 it all up and then sort of went, Bert, we'll 0:23:08.250 --> 0:23:08.690 do the rest. 0:23:11.130 --> 0:23:14.290 That was pretty much it. It was a bit awkward 0:23:14.310 --> 0:23:18.790 when he did it. It's implanted on my brain. Forty-something 0:23:18.810 --> 0:23:21.369 years later, I still remember it, sat me down, remember 0:23:21.390 --> 0:23:23.400 the tape that he put it into, and I'm like, 0:23:23.660 --> 0:23:24.580 what the hell is this? 0:23:25.550 --> 0:23:27.770 You can never leave that scene in your bedroom with you, 0:23:27.860 --> 0:23:31.450 Bert Newton, and your dad. It's a powerful three-way. It really, 0:23:31.490 --> 0:23:35.030 really is. All right, Josh, thank you very much. We'll 0:23:35.050 --> 0:23:36.930 see what else we can find out, but thanks for calling, mate. 0:23:38.230 --> 0:23:39.250 No worries, guys. Have a good day. 0:23:39.830 --> 0:23:42.610 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:23:43.130 --> 0:23:44.610 Thank you very much for joining us on The Bright 0:23:44.710 --> 0:23:47.970 Side of the Dial. Let's now go live to the 0:23:48.030 --> 0:23:51.490 streets of Melbourne to a brilliant breakfast cafe called Top Paddock. 0:23:51.870 --> 0:23:56.510 This is the home this morning for Australia's intern, intern Pete. Pete, 0:23:56.670 --> 0:23:57.210 are you there? 0:23:57.930 --> 0:24:00.910 Yes, coming to you live from the coffee machine in 0:24:00.930 --> 0:24:04.390 the background here. Good morning, guys. I am so, so 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.400 ready to be interning. We've just opened the doors here 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.920 this morning, which is great. A little bit of learning 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.420 for me. Coffee has changed over the years since the 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:15.460 last time I was actually on a coffee machine. There's 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.000 a lot more to the process of weighing out the 0:24:18.060 --> 0:24:21.760 coffee beans, using the particular types of coffee beans that 0:24:21.780 --> 0:24:23.420 need to be used this morning. So I've just been 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.400 having a run through with Jeff's on the machine this morning. 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:28.670 I'm not sure if you can see it, but it's actually, 0:24:28.690 --> 0:24:32.730 they've got one of the very traditional coffee machine makers here. 0:24:32.750 --> 0:24:34.970 When I say traditional, it just doesn't have buttons. It's 0:24:34.990 --> 0:24:35.869 like an old school. 0:24:35.930 --> 0:24:38.310 Pete, whoever is filming this, I don't know if you've 0:24:38.350 --> 0:24:41.570 got an elderly lady, but they're doing that thing that 0:24:41.590 --> 0:24:44.070 your mum does where they're holding at the wrong angle. Yes. 0:24:44.710 --> 0:24:46.230 Oh, yeah, gotcha. I'll see if I can turn that 0:24:46.270 --> 0:24:48.370 around because obviously we'll just sport it that way. 0:24:48.490 --> 0:24:50.450 There we go. We can see now you've got your 0:24:50.670 --> 0:24:55.180 trademark cowboy hat. You look like a hipster there. Beautiful-looking 0:24:55.220 --> 0:24:56.540 day there as well at the Top Paddock. 0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:58.280 Oh, it's so good. 0:24:58.320 --> 0:24:59.800 Now, this place is going to get very busy in 0:24:59.820 --> 0:25:01.800 the next few minutes, so I will cross into you 0:25:01.860 --> 0:25:04.210 guys when I have time. Obviously, the radio show is 0:25:04.250 --> 0:25:06.770 the priority, but obviously I don't want to disturb the peace. 0:25:06.850 --> 0:25:07.310 Oh, thanks, mate. 0:25:07.330 --> 0:25:10.710 What does it sound like? No, no, my pleasure. A 0:25:10.750 --> 0:25:13.830 couple of things. You don't get too excited, but there 0:25:13.870 --> 0:25:15.130 is a couple of things that I've been told that 0:25:15.150 --> 0:25:16.840 are going to happen this morning. One is I'm going 0:25:16.860 --> 0:25:21.720 to invent my own concoction, my own coffee for people 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:22.580 to try this morning. 0:25:22.620 --> 0:25:23.020 That one. 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:26.320 will also be available for free because it's a bit 0:25:26.360 --> 0:25:27.400 of a trial and error day. 0:25:27.420 --> 0:25:28.410 And who would pay for it? 0:25:29.330 --> 0:25:30.630 Yeah, absolutely. 0:25:31.170 --> 0:25:32.610 Have you got a name for the coffee, Pete? 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.500 Hey, listen, he only just came in. He took a 0:25:34.540 --> 0:25:36.379 bit to get a code word out of him, Rio. 0:25:36.660 --> 0:25:38.600 Yeah, just let me come back to you on that one. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:40.879 We're going to say a really quick hello. This man 0:25:40.940 --> 0:25:43.660 is very busy. I've just made him stop serving customers, ma'am. 0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:47.010 His name is Sasha. He is from Germany. He is 0:25:47.050 --> 0:25:49.210 my team leader today, so he's here to guide me 0:25:49.230 --> 0:25:50.630 this morning. So you can say hi to the Christian 0:25:50.650 --> 0:25:52.550 O'Connell Show. Morning, everyone. 0:25:52.570 --> 0:25:55.390 Good morning, Morgan, and thank you very much for looking 0:25:55.470 --> 0:25:56.870 after our intern. 0:25:58.070 --> 0:25:59.170 My pleasure, my pleasure. 0:25:59.190 --> 0:26:00.250 He's hot work already. 0:26:00.270 --> 0:26:00.830 If I can. 0:26:01.870 --> 0:26:04.480 I can do this with him. We can definitely do it. 0:26:04.490 --> 0:26:06.130 That's what we're going to do. I'll leave you to it, Sasha. 0:26:06.170 --> 0:26:07.410 I know you've got customers coming in. 0:26:08.590 --> 0:26:13.480 He looks really unimpressed with you. 0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.300 He looked like he was going to pick you up 0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:19.840 and actually throw you in the world's brownest river. It's 0:26:19.940 --> 0:26:22.920 only about 100 steps from where you are, the Yarrow. 0:26:23.980 --> 0:26:26.139 I know, for sure. But look, I'm really excited for this. 0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:27.760 As I said, things have changed since the last time 0:26:27.780 --> 0:26:28.860 I was on the coffee machine. 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:29.770 How have things changed? 0:26:30.810 --> 0:26:34.110 Well, no one has because they actually weigh the coffee. 0:26:34.130 --> 0:26:36.330 Yeah, weigh the coffee and the buttons. 0:26:37.070 --> 0:26:39.130 It's now just all going into a loop of play still, 0:26:39.190 --> 0:26:43.170 isn't it? Hopefully we can settle you down. The progress 0:26:43.220 --> 0:26:45.420 has happened since in the last 20 years of the 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:47.260 whole coffee brewing industry. 0:26:48.260 --> 0:26:50.120 Have you made any coffee for a customer yet? 0:26:50.990 --> 0:26:51.609 No, not yet. 0:26:51.770 --> 0:26:55.150 What are you doing? 0:26:55.210 --> 0:26:59.430 No wonder that poor German. Germans run on efficiency, and 0:26:59.470 --> 0:27:01.629 they've got someone like you keep mumbling on about, oh. 0:27:01.670 --> 0:27:02.870 This machine's all new. 0:27:03.630 --> 0:27:05.730 It was all fields when I used to come round here. 0:27:05.750 --> 0:27:09.020 Have you guys tried a magic before? I've never actually 0:27:09.070 --> 0:27:11.200 had a magic, but apparently that's a very Melbourne coffee 0:27:11.220 --> 0:27:14.620 thing to have. So there's no story with that. I 0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.960 just was wondering if you had a magic or not. 0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:18.000 I haven't had a magic. 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.400 And just a reminder, everybody here, the radio show must 0:27:21.500 --> 0:27:22.859 be the private. 0:27:23.980 --> 0:27:27.380 All right. We're going to leave. 0:27:27.290 --> 0:27:28.620 You to it for a bit, Pete, and we'll come 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.430 back maybe tomorrow or Friday if there's time on the show. 0:27:31.770 --> 0:27:32.150 All right. 0:27:32.190 --> 0:27:33.910 Catch up with you soon, Pete. Please play the ad 0:27:33.930 --> 0:27:35.290 so I've got to listen to him again talking about 0:27:35.350 --> 0:27:36.010 coffee machines. 0:27:36.030 --> 0:27:39.230 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:27:40.210 --> 0:27:42.270 Good morning to Shane. Listen to us in Sydney. Christian, 0:27:42.290 --> 0:27:44.890 surely the Thames in London would be more poo brown 0:27:44.930 --> 0:27:47.470 than the Yarra. Well, look, as someone who has studied 0:27:47.590 --> 0:27:53.040 both rivers extensively, I would say that, look, the Yarra 0:27:53.340 --> 0:27:59.920 is chocolate milk, whereas the Thames is more grey, brown, 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:07.750 occasional green. The Yarra looks like dishwater. No, sorry. Yeah, 0:28:07.770 --> 0:28:10.390 in fact, I would say the Yarra looks more like 0:28:10.430 --> 0:28:14.070 a gravy boat that's been left out since Christmas. The 0:28:14.110 --> 0:28:18.960 Thames is the dishwater. That's my take. Shane, if you're 0:28:18.980 --> 0:28:21.180 asking me. All right. Now, I get an email over 0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:24.180 the weekend, and obviously we're getting into the racing season, 0:28:25.300 --> 0:28:29.369 from Vanessa. This is really heartbreaking for Vanessa. Christian, over 0:28:29.390 --> 0:28:33.170 the weekend, I lost my wedding ring in or around 0:28:33.410 --> 0:28:37.110 Caulfield Racecourse. Now, of course, as soon as I started 0:28:37.130 --> 0:28:41.220 to read this, I'm thinking, hello. A few drinky-poos. We've 0:28:41.300 --> 0:28:44.300 all seen people on the news. Ladies going to the races. 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:47.370 I know guys as well. And also the wide window 0:28:47.450 --> 0:28:51.420 here of the loss as a day drinking. I lost 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:57.140 my wedding ring in a race course somewhere between 9 a.m. 0:28:57.500 --> 0:29:02.120 and 5.30 p.m. Somebody had a big day on the Proseccos. 0:29:02.140 --> 0:29:03.300 That's an early start. 0:29:03.650 --> 0:29:08.250 It's a really early start. Early finish, half five. I'm 0:29:08.290 --> 0:29:11.390 absolutely devastated and holding on to hope that someone might 0:29:11.430 --> 0:29:14.000 have found him. Now, when you go and do something 0:29:14.020 --> 0:29:16.100 classy like the races, you get all dressed up, you've 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.230 got your fascinator on. Of course, you want to top 0:29:18.250 --> 0:29:24.450 that off stopping at the 7-Eleven. With a slushie. Absolutely. 0:29:24.470 --> 0:29:27.230 It's how the royals do it at Ascot. I've been 0:29:27.270 --> 0:29:29.870 there when the king's smashing a slushie there. 0:29:31.180 --> 0:29:33.340 She might have needed band-aids for her shoes. 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.520 I also stopped at the 7-Eleven on some Monash Drive 0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:39.770 and parked in the car park next to it. Christian 0:29:39.790 --> 0:29:43.310 Lering holds far more than sentimental value than monetary value. 0:29:43.370 --> 0:29:46.220 I get that. Just be over the moon to get 0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.450 it back. Vanessa is on the line right now. Vanessa. 0:29:49.470 --> 0:29:52.310 Hi, Christian. 0:29:52.410 --> 0:29:54.360 First of all, I'm really sorry you've lost your wedding ring. 0:29:54.420 --> 0:29:57.220 I can only imagine what that must be like. 0:29:58.970 --> 0:30:01.810 Thank you very much. Well, first, I'm in tears from 0:30:01.850 --> 0:30:06.070 laughter rather than crying the last few days over it, 0:30:06.190 --> 0:30:10.410 listening to your lead up. I was actually working genuinely. 0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:16.840 Let's not get into the lies straight away. Yeah, I've 0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:19.780 called that working before, but management see it very differently. 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:24.490 I've done a few shifts working. at the races, the 0:30:24.530 --> 0:30:27.210 Melbourne Cup as well. We all have been working at 0:30:27.250 --> 0:30:31.430 various races. So did it just slip off? Did you 0:30:31.490 --> 0:30:32.150 take it off? 0:30:32.850 --> 0:30:34.850 No, it was a very hot day on Sunday. It 0:30:34.870 --> 0:30:38.970 started swelling up after lots of walking around. So I 0:30:38.990 --> 0:30:40.910 took it off and put it in a zipped-up pocket 0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:44.380 in my tradie lady shorts. And I was like, okay, 0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:48.860 it's got a zip. We'll be all right. Great day. Okay, 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:52.180 get home. And, you know, take everything out of that pocket. 0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:53.440 No ring. 0:30:54.820 --> 0:30:57.740 So what are we saying here? That someone has unzipped 0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:58.280 your pocket? 0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:05.720 What an accusation. Well, you unzipped her trading lady underpants. 0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:08.180 What did Sherlock Holmes do? You've got to deduce the 0:31:08.220 --> 0:31:09.970 improbable until you're left with what's probable. 0:31:09.990 --> 0:31:11.570 Either through all. 0:31:11.530 --> 0:31:16.850 The walking and your words working, it unzipped itself. Or 0:31:16.910 --> 0:31:19.230 maybe you did have a, did you have any drink? 0:31:20.300 --> 0:31:23.270 No, no, I did not. I did not. I was 0:31:23.370 --> 0:31:27.450 genuinely working. I was, how do I say? I was 0:31:27.530 --> 0:31:30.050 in and out of that pocket during the day. However, 0:31:30.130 --> 0:31:31.410 never noticed anything. 0:31:31.430 --> 0:31:33.800 You know what it's like? Often I've done that. You're 0:31:33.830 --> 0:31:36.500 rummaging around, you pull something, you don't realize it's something 0:31:36.540 --> 0:31:38.620 else like a ring like that. And they're actually quite light, 0:31:38.740 --> 0:31:39.140 aren't they? 0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:43.280 Yes, is potentially stuck on the set of keys that 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.520 I had in there. And just dropped out. 0:31:45.740 --> 0:31:47.000 That could be. 0:31:46.940 --> 0:31:49.200 Like a grabbing hand on that grab a claw machine, 0:31:49.220 --> 0:31:50.810 you know, at the fairs and stuff like that. 0:31:52.750 --> 0:31:56.050 And you just lose it. So it could be in 0:31:56.070 --> 0:31:58.050 the grass, in the, I don't know. 0:31:58.610 --> 0:31:58.970 Who knows? 0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:01.320 Do you think you got lost at the 7-Eleven with 0:32:01.340 --> 0:32:02.920 the excitement of getting a slushie at the end of 0:32:02.940 --> 0:32:03.240 your day? 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.120 Well, see, okay, that part of the story is true. 0:32:06.220 --> 0:32:07.760 I did go and get teen slurpees. 0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:11.430 Love it. 0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:15.320 So, yes, could be. Like, I've retraced my steps. I 0:32:15.370 --> 0:32:19.170 went back that night to have a look around myself. 0:32:19.450 --> 0:32:20.350 Oh, poor thing. 0:32:20.390 --> 0:32:21.070 This would be a nightmare. 0:32:21.090 --> 0:32:23.770 We can look a little bit, you know, a little 0:32:23.790 --> 0:32:28.450 bit harder. I've also started an Instagram page called Go 0:32:28.530 --> 0:32:34.650 Find Me. Um, and whether, uh, my ring is found, 0:32:34.750 --> 0:32:37.710 I will post a, um, uh, I'll put up a 0:32:37.750 --> 0:32:40.830 post today about it on that page. Um, and whether 0:32:40.870 --> 0:32:43.270 it's my ring that's found or maybe other people who 0:32:43.310 --> 0:32:45.740 have lost something that would like to, you know, we 0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:48.680 can put some posts up and come together as a 0:32:48.700 --> 0:32:55.260 community and maybe find, you know, other people's lost loved items. 0:32:56.490 --> 0:32:58.270 So you've obviously reached out to the race course. 0:32:59.130 --> 0:32:59.990 Yes, I have, yes. 0:33:00.150 --> 0:33:02.390 Yeah, lost property, no one handed in a wedding ring? 0:33:02.430 --> 0:33:03.830 Not yet, not yet. 0:33:04.490 --> 0:33:06.270 Have you tried posting, you know, like when people lose 0:33:06.330 --> 0:33:09.970 a pet, they post, you know, A4 pieces of paper 0:33:10.050 --> 0:33:11.390 on local street lamps. 0:33:11.730 --> 0:33:11.990 Yeah. 0:33:12.150 --> 0:33:13.450 Maybe a metal detector. 0:33:14.230 --> 0:33:19.250 Yes, we have discussed the metal detector scenario. Many people 0:33:19.290 --> 0:33:20.610 have actually mentioned it to me that I. 0:33:20.570 --> 0:33:21.010 Should go do that. 0:33:21.030 --> 0:33:22.850 Yeah, because I often, when I'm walking the dog down 0:33:22.870 --> 0:33:24.530 the beach, you see those nerds out there, and I 0:33:24.530 --> 0:33:26.550 don't know what they're getting other than dog turds down 0:33:26.570 --> 0:33:29.720 my local beach. beach get them off the beach round 0:33:29.740 --> 0:33:31.340 them up in a van and put them to work 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:31.660 around the. 0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:35.040 Race course i would be happy to hold on myself 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.980 for the day you know um whatever it takes and 0:33:38.060 --> 0:33:39.600 at least all the. 0:33:39.260 --> 0:33:41.380 Options if it was me i'd be so upset right 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:43.260 and uh what's your partner saying about all. 0:33:43.140 --> 0:33:47.850 This yeah he's probably as upset as i am just 0:33:47.870 --> 0:33:50.390 not voicing it as much um. 0:33:51.750 --> 0:33:52.370 Sounds like a man. 0:33:54.330 --> 0:33:57.050 We can't help make a presumption there. This sounds like 0:33:57.070 --> 0:33:58.410 the inner workings of a man. 0:33:58.440 --> 0:33:59.360 Don't worry about it. 0:33:59.370 --> 0:34:01.940 You're not going to keep going on about it, are you? 0:34:01.980 --> 0:34:04.540 What is for dinner is the bigger question and mystery 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:04.980 right now. 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:06.780 Have you thought. 0:34:06.660 --> 0:34:08.000 About anything like that? If it was me, I'd be 0:34:08.020 --> 0:34:15.299 thinking about maybe using a sidekick. That literally would be 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:17.639 my Monday. I'm not even joking. You know it would, team. 0:34:17.759 --> 0:34:20.920 I would contact some psychic and see if they could 0:34:21.359 --> 0:34:23.379 open up the third eye and have a look back 0:34:23.399 --> 0:34:25.719 at the race course there or the 7-Eleven by the 0:34:25.759 --> 0:34:26.420 Slurpee machine. 0:34:29.299 --> 0:34:30.770 Anything's worth a shot at this point. 0:34:30.790 --> 0:34:33.330 Because, look, you know, needle in a haystack, a tiny 0:34:33.410 --> 0:34:36.089 wedding ring. Now, people might be listening. I know people 0:34:36.109 --> 0:34:37.790 are going to be listening and they really want to 0:34:37.850 --> 0:34:42.020 reunite with your ring. Is there anything distinctive about it? 0:34:42.060 --> 0:34:43.070 How could you describe it? 0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:50.919 Oh, it is antique. 0:34:51.020 --> 0:34:53.279 Is it a family ring? Was it your mum's or grandma's? 0:34:54.140 --> 0:34:56.799 No, no, it wasn't. But that's what I was hoping. 0:34:56.819 --> 0:34:59.239 I was hoping for it to be an heirloom for 0:34:59.279 --> 0:35:02.660 my family. So my first thought was my daughter, actually, 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:03.239 when I lost it. 0:35:03.279 --> 0:35:04.959 Oh my God, I bet. You've got to find the ring. 0:35:04.980 --> 0:35:06.000 Yeah. 0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:06.210 Yeah. 0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:09.880 We're going to do everything we can to find this ring. 0:35:09.980 --> 0:35:10.339 Thank you. 0:35:10.379 --> 0:35:12.910 Is there anything distinctive about it? Because obviously it's radio. 0:35:12.930 --> 0:35:14.649 We're all trying to imagine it right now. And we've 0:35:14.669 --> 0:35:17.609 got so many kind-hearted listeners like you, Vanessa. The more 0:35:17.669 --> 0:35:20.410 detail you can give here, the better the chance, obviously. 0:35:20.810 --> 0:35:22.770 It's a slim chance, but the better the chance that someone, 0:35:23.069 --> 0:35:23.549 you never know. 0:35:23.569 --> 0:35:26.610 Yeah, sure. I can send you a photo of it. 0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:30.480 I probably only have one, which is quite lucky. Thin, 0:35:30.879 --> 0:35:36.080 sort of fine band and I suppose sort of rectangular 0:35:36.180 --> 0:35:40.979 on top. and all little diamonds on top of it. 0:35:41.500 --> 0:35:45.100 So I'll send you a photo, and I'll post it 0:35:45.180 --> 0:35:47.120 on the Instagram page today. 0:35:47.859 --> 0:35:49.399 Here's what I'm prepared to do. I really want you 0:35:49.419 --> 0:35:51.519 to help to find this room. I'm going to put 0:35:51.580 --> 0:35:54.779 a pair of Bon Jovi tickets, okay? If the person 0:35:54.819 --> 0:35:57.379 does genuinely find your wedding room, we'll give them a 0:35:57.399 --> 0:35:58.460 pair of Bon Jovi tickets. 0:35:59.129 --> 0:36:01.129 That sounds great for someone. I'd be happy for someone 0:36:01.149 --> 0:36:01.489 to win that. 0:36:01.509 --> 0:36:03.290 There are a lot of... One thing I realised yesterday, 0:36:03.410 --> 0:36:06.490 there are hundreds of thousands of really passionate Bon Jovi 0:36:06.509 --> 0:36:08.669 fans who've been emailing me over the last 24 hours, 0:36:09.089 --> 0:36:11.269 begging for tickets. Okay, why about you do some work? 0:36:11.710 --> 0:36:13.069 And you get on your hands and knees, you start 0:36:13.089 --> 0:36:14.669 having a look around the racehorse. Get down to the races. 0:36:15.190 --> 0:36:17.959 Get down to the Corville. Comb the grass. 0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:19.739 Next time you're there. 0:36:19.759 --> 0:36:21.519 You know what the police do? They've got a long 0:36:21.580 --> 0:36:28.589 line of these double-denim, mulleted Bon Jovi fans. LAUGHTER Let's 0:36:28.609 --> 0:36:32.880 put them to work. You want the ticket? Find the ring. Okay, 0:36:32.919 --> 0:36:35.880 do something. Don't just expect me to give you the tickets. 0:36:36.339 --> 0:36:39.719 We've got to reunite with this family heirloom. We need 0:36:39.759 --> 0:36:41.999 a sidekick right now. If anyone knows of anyone who's 0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:43.300 really good. 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:46.390 Every single dart being thrown at the board at the moment. 0:36:46.609 --> 0:36:50.569 That's right. That's who I am, mate. I throw a 0:36:50.609 --> 0:36:52.689 lot of darts and one of them might hit a bullseye. 0:36:55.029 --> 0:36:58.239 I reckon sidekick Rita. Remember we've had sidekick Rita. on 0:36:58.259 --> 0:36:59.020 the show before. 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.239 She'd be brilliant. Yep. She mainly had a lot of 0:37:02.259 --> 0:37:09.779 predictions about the plumbing issues of every team member. It 0:37:09.819 --> 0:37:14.900 was 80% about plumbing. If the problem was Coolfield Racetrack plumbing, 0:37:15.359 --> 0:37:17.180 I for sure give her a call. But yeah, we're 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:19.320 trying her out if anyone knows any others. Vanessa, I 0:37:19.359 --> 0:37:20.979 want to reassure you, we're going to put some of 0:37:21.069 --> 0:37:22.849 our very, very best people on this. 0:37:23.410 --> 0:37:25.670 Well, thank you, Christian. Very much appreciated. 0:37:25.690 --> 0:37:27.029 Do you know what? I know what I'm going to do. 0:37:27.069 --> 0:37:31.459 Let's send... That's it. Australia's intern out the tomorrow with 0:37:31.500 --> 0:37:32.819 a metal detector. Yes. 0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:34.859 Oh, fantastic. 0:37:35.259 --> 0:37:38.310 Yep, don't worry. Like I said, we're putting our second 0:37:38.350 --> 0:37:44.390 best people on this, Vanessa. We'll try everything, okay? Good luck. 0:37:44.489 --> 0:37:45.450 Thank you so much. 0:37:45.750 --> 0:37:48.399 Let's hang on to hope, Vanessa, okay? We will. 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:49.640 Thank you. 0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:52.279 Everybody, have a good look around today. Have you seen 0:37:52.319 --> 0:37:52.640 that ring? 0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:55.900 The Christian O'Connell Show. 0:37:56.140 --> 0:37:56.580 Go on. 0:37:56.940 --> 0:37:57.800 Podcast. 0:37:58.620 --> 0:38:01.700 Christian, never say never. Vanessa, hang on to hope. My 0:38:01.739 --> 0:38:03.919 dad passed away in February, and in March I was 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:08.200 in Adelaide for Gather Round. I wore his previous medals everywhere, 0:38:08.299 --> 0:38:10.110 so he was with me at all times. After one 0:38:10.129 --> 0:38:12.689 of the games, we were walking through Adelaide City, and 0:38:12.710 --> 0:38:15.649 I realized the medals weren't pinned to me anymore. I 0:38:15.810 --> 0:38:19.010 walked up and down the city streets trying to find 0:38:19.129 --> 0:38:22.069 a medal that was smaller than my little fingernail. I 0:38:22.149 --> 0:38:26.359 found it. In the crack of the concrete. Oh, wow. Christian, 0:38:26.379 --> 0:38:30.099 Vanessa's ring is probably in a horse's hoof. Get Pete 0:38:30.140 --> 0:38:32.739 to go around looking at all the horse's hoofs tomorrow. Yeah, 0:38:32.759 --> 0:38:38.300 I'm sure they're just letting those precious racehorses. Surely Vanessa 0:38:38.339 --> 0:38:40.590 lost the ring after the slurpees. Maybe that would have 0:38:40.629 --> 0:38:45.910 made the hand cold and shrink. The ring then falls off. Christian, 0:38:45.930 --> 0:38:48.870 on top of those Bon Jovi tickets, whoever finds the 0:38:48.910 --> 0:38:50.110 ring gets free slurpees. 0:38:50.149 --> 0:38:50.229 Yes. 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:57.219 Yeah, okay. Christian, thank you for getting back to me 0:38:57.259 --> 0:39:00.739 about your comments about the Thames and the Yarra colours. 0:39:01.290 --> 0:39:03.489 So what you're saying is the Yarra is a Milo, 0:39:03.770 --> 0:39:05.489 the Thames is an Earl Grey. 0:39:06.009 --> 0:39:07.430 Oh, that is a great comparison. 0:39:07.450 --> 0:39:10.050 Yeah, Shane. Yeah, that's it. And then I love this email. 0:39:10.710 --> 0:39:12.489 Australians has cut to the chase a lot more than 0:39:12.549 --> 0:39:15.930 us Poms. Keith Cooper here. Christian, don't beat around the bush. 0:39:16.339 --> 0:39:20.900 The Yarra makes Willy Wonka's Chocolate River look clean. Keith Cooper. 0:39:21.339 --> 0:39:22.200 That's what I was trying to say. 0:39:22.379 --> 0:39:22.599 Yes. 0:39:23.319 --> 0:39:29.440 All right. So if you've ever, ever thought about doing 0:39:29.569 --> 0:39:32.169 stand-up comedy, maybe you've gone to see it one night 0:39:32.629 --> 0:39:34.629 and you thought, I'd love to do something like that. 0:39:34.770 --> 0:39:37.489 I love making people laugh. Maybe you want to stand 0:39:37.549 --> 0:39:40.039 up special and you thought, wonder, how do they do that? 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.219 And then you get put off by the thought of like, 0:39:42.259 --> 0:39:44.229 where do you even begin? How do you build up 0:39:44.270 --> 0:39:46.649 a set? Where do you go and begin something like that? 0:39:46.669 --> 0:39:49.169 How would you learn some of the disciplines about how 0:39:49.210 --> 0:39:52.089 to structure a set, build a joke, tell a story 0:39:52.190 --> 0:39:54.350 live on stage? And the really big fear that why 0:39:54.370 --> 0:39:55.689 people don't want to do it as well is they're 0:39:55.710 --> 0:39:58.019 worried that you're going to get nervous on stage. that 0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:00.860 you're going to freeze, or the worst thing, that someone 0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:04.799 is going to heckle you. So I'm putting on a night. 0:40:05.210 --> 0:40:07.609 It's going to be on December the 4th on a 0:40:07.690 --> 0:40:09.830 Thursday night. We are having, and I'm going to be 0:40:09.870 --> 0:40:14.049 hosting our own stand-up school, basically. The reason why I'm 0:40:14.069 --> 0:40:15.930 doing this, I got a lovely message from a man 0:40:15.989 --> 0:40:19.910 called Stuart. Stuart is now, just judging from your emails 0:40:19.930 --> 0:40:21.830 and how we all feel about this, like the patron 0:40:21.950 --> 0:40:24.730 saint of this night. And when I tell you about Stuart, 0:40:25.089 --> 0:40:26.959 I think that you'll be inspired to maybe pick up 0:40:26.980 --> 0:40:30.510 the phone this morning. Stuart is 60. He's a lovely guy. 0:40:30.710 --> 0:40:33.350 And Stuart has struggled through a lot of his years, sadly, 0:40:33.830 --> 0:40:38.209 with a stutter. He read my book called Unscript, which 0:40:38.290 --> 0:40:42.790 is about communication and connection and speaking. And it had 0:40:42.830 --> 0:40:44.959 such an impact on him that he left me a 0:40:45.359 --> 0:40:48.620 voice note. And for Stuart, this is a really, really 0:40:48.759 --> 0:40:51.899 big deal. And as I'm listening to his voice and 0:40:51.940 --> 0:40:55.719 him speaking to me, it really melted my heart. I 0:40:55.739 --> 0:40:59.310 was really inspired by his courage. And we got talking 0:40:59.330 --> 0:41:03.850 to each other and he's kind of embracing his voice 0:41:03.910 --> 0:41:06.469 again for the first time in many, many years. And 0:41:06.489 --> 0:41:08.769 he said he really wanted a new challenge now. And 0:41:08.810 --> 0:41:09.969 so I said, if I was going to put on 0:41:09.989 --> 0:41:12.650 a stand-up comedy night, would you do it? And he 0:41:12.730 --> 0:41:15.579 leapt at it. He said, yes. Stuart is the first 0:41:15.660 --> 0:41:18.259 act then on our stand-up comedy night in a couple 0:41:18.279 --> 0:41:20.180 of weeks time. And here's what we're going to do. 0:41:20.779 --> 0:41:23.099 Each one of you is going to be mentored by me. 0:41:23.279 --> 0:41:27.180 I'll help you Get your set ready. Whatever stories you 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.000 want to share up there, we'll go through your stories. 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:30.899 And then we'll pick the ones that you can do 0:41:30.980 --> 0:41:32.920 up there. And we will help you through the whole process. 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:35.200 And the audience is going to be full of lovely 0:41:35.239 --> 0:41:37.399 people that listen to the show, like you. And the 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:39.769 number one rule is there is no heckling. We are 0:41:39.830 --> 0:41:42.129 on your side. We want you to do well. We 0:41:42.169 --> 0:41:45.189 want to hear your stories. And every single one of 0:41:45.290 --> 0:41:48.950 us has these stories of weirdness, humiliations that's happened during 0:41:49.009 --> 0:41:51.789 our lives. They're all ready to share. So don't let 0:41:51.890 --> 0:41:54.430 fear put you off because... You're going to be probably 0:41:54.469 --> 0:41:56.709 nervous up there. It doesn't matter. If you stumble up there, 0:41:56.730 --> 0:41:59.499 it doesn't matter. I'm constantly stumbling on this radio show. 0:41:59.580 --> 0:42:02.160 I rarely tell the time right on the radio after 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.680 28 years of doing this. There's a clock in front 0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:06.399 of my face. I still don't know why I can't 0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:08.859 nail that. Let's not worry about it. If you really 0:42:08.899 --> 0:42:11.019 want to do it, if the first thought is, that's me, 0:42:11.620 --> 0:42:13.539 and then there's always that second thought, no, my God, 0:42:13.569 --> 0:42:15.649 you can't, you might, and then those other stories kick in. 0:42:15.730 --> 0:42:19.249 Trust your first instinct. At the moment, I'm hearing from 0:42:19.290 --> 0:42:20.930 a lot of people in Melbourne that want to do this. 0:42:21.049 --> 0:42:23.660 This is going to be in Sydney. Sydney, where are you? 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:25.700 There's a lot of people who are putting their hand 0:42:25.739 --> 0:42:27.979 up at the moment from Melbourne. Now, Sydney, I know 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:32.519 we were there last week. You're not shy. Sydneysiders, maybe 0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.959 the long-term listeners of Jones and Amanda still making their 0:42:35.980 --> 0:42:38.419 mind up about me in this new show. Shout out 0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:42.320 to the hardcore WSFM crew. This is your chance to 0:42:42.359 --> 0:42:45.529 do stand-up. Pick up the phone. At the moment, it's 0:42:45.609 --> 0:42:49.469 mainly Melbourne people. Where are the Sydneysiders? Give me a call. Okay, 0:42:49.469 --> 0:42:54.680 13 55 22. Now, at the moment, I'm calling around people, 0:42:54.980 --> 0:42:58.799 and I called this woman yesterday, Bronwyn, and I was 0:42:58.819 --> 0:43:01.759 chatting to her. And Bronwyn is a lovely woman. She 0:43:01.799 --> 0:43:04.619 works in recruitment, and she also does an amazing thing. 0:43:05.060 --> 0:43:09.879 She's also a funeral celebrant. This person had such natural 0:43:10.219 --> 0:43:14.770 life force and energy. She had these funny stories. I 0:43:14.879 --> 0:43:18.110 straightaway did the golden buzzer yesterday evening at quarter to six, 0:43:18.669 --> 0:43:20.760 chatting to her. Then her daughter got in the car, 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:24.019 and she's like every teenage kid, completely unimpressed. I just 0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:26.650 selected her to go into stand-up school. I just went, hey, 0:43:26.710 --> 0:43:30.030 you know, isn't it amazing? Your mum is so funny. 0:43:30.549 --> 0:43:30.950 Really? 0:43:30.969 --> 0:43:34.649 I said, yeah, she's going to get more than 15 0:43:34.649 --> 0:43:39.450 seconds of fame. And she just went, 15 seconds of lame. Which, actually, 0:43:39.489 --> 0:43:41.520 we might do as a feature next year. I love 0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:44.799 the title, 15 seconds of lame. We've all got something 0:43:44.819 --> 0:43:47.399 for that. Listen to Bronwyn. This is her voice note 0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:48.180 she left this morning. 0:43:49.339 --> 0:43:53.359 Hey, Christian, it's Bronwyn. I'm just so excited to be 0:43:53.419 --> 0:43:55.779 a part of the comedy show that's coming up. It's 0:43:55.799 --> 0:43:58.319 like I manifested it. I said this year that I 0:43:58.339 --> 0:44:01.459 was going to step outside my comfort zone and I 0:44:01.500 --> 0:44:04.299 wanted to do a stand-up comedy gig. And then I 0:44:04.339 --> 0:44:06.080 heard that you were doing it. I'm just like, I 0:44:06.140 --> 0:44:07.859 can't believe that I'm actually going to be a part 0:44:07.879 --> 0:44:09.529 of it. I have no idea where to start with 0:44:09.609 --> 0:44:12.009 all of this, but I'm so looking forward to the 0:44:12.069 --> 0:44:14.809 opportunity and it's going to be so fun. I'll see 0:44:14.850 --> 0:44:15.310 you soon. 0:44:15.870 --> 0:44:18.279 You will. So, Bronwyn. When I called her yesterday, she 0:44:18.299 --> 0:44:20.080 was saying, guys, how every year she likes to pick 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.399 a challenge that really stretches her. And she was so 0:44:22.419 --> 0:44:24.539 upset that she felt like the year was running away 0:44:24.620 --> 0:44:27.140 from her. She hadn't found it. Saturday morning, she's in 0:44:27.180 --> 0:44:29.600 the car. She's listening to our best-of show that we 0:44:29.620 --> 0:44:31.879 do every Saturday morning. She listened to us talking about 0:44:31.899 --> 0:44:34.239 the stand-up thing. She realized, oh, this is what I want. 0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:39.019 She emails. So Bronwyn is now on this along with Stuart. 0:44:39.500 --> 0:44:42.350 There are spots. I'm looking for you. Pick up the phone. 0:44:42.669 --> 0:44:43.310 Give me a call now. 0:44:44.109 --> 0:44:46.900 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:44:47.839 --> 0:44:49.580 Hey, good morning.

Sydneysiders, I'm looking for you. 0:45:16.589 --> 0:45:21.499 Give me a call. 135522. Morning, Dean. Welcome to the show. 0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:22.700 Hey, Chris. 0:45:22.759 --> 0:45:24.739 This is such an exciting opportunity. 0:45:24.779 --> 0:45:25.160 Thank you. 0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.219 That's all right, Dean. So, Dean, stand-up, something you've always 0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:28.900 fancied doing? 0:45:29.839 --> 0:45:30.300 I have. 0:45:30.419 --> 0:45:30.799 I have. 0:45:30.879 --> 0:45:33.229 I've never really quite had the, I don't know, the 0:45:33.270 --> 0:45:34.749 goings to go and get it, but it's on the 0:45:34.790 --> 0:45:38.029 bucket list to do, and this seems like a fantastic opportunity. 0:45:38.969 --> 0:45:40.910 And tell us about yourself, Dean. What do you do, mate? 0:45:42.219 --> 0:45:43.600 I work for the Department of Corrections. 0:45:43.620 --> 0:45:46.120 I work for DCJ up in Sydney. 0:45:47.739 --> 0:45:49.660 Are you in the prisons? 0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:50.419 The big house? 0:45:50.440 --> 0:45:51.520 Yes, sir, I am, yeah. 0:45:51.739 --> 0:45:53.000 Oh, you love some great stories. 0:45:53.730 --> 0:45:57.070 Oh, I have a couple of good whoppers. There's another 0:45:57.089 --> 0:45:59.330 middle-aged white guy suffering from crisis identity. 0:46:02.129 --> 0:46:03.850 There's a lot of us out there right now listening 0:46:03.890 --> 0:46:07.469 to this or recognizing that. And have you ever done 0:46:07.509 --> 0:46:09.009 anything on stage before, Dean? 0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.959 I tried to do an RSL maybe a little bit 0:46:13.000 --> 0:46:16.419 before COVID, but it was such a small crowd. I 0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.479 think it was like 20 people that showed up for it. 0:46:19.259 --> 0:46:21.560 So I had about two or three minutes on stage. 0:46:21.839 --> 0:46:24.379 That was, gosh, that seems like a lifetime ago too. 0:46:25.319 --> 0:46:26.120 But did you enjoy it? 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:30.930 Oh, I absolutely, I genuinely loved it. At the time, 0:46:30.950 --> 0:46:33.549 my South African accent was very staunch. So you had 0:46:33.569 --> 0:46:35.769 to listen and decipher all the jokes from like this. 0:46:38.669 --> 0:46:39.410 Still pretty strong. 0:46:42.250 --> 0:46:47.339 Spoiler alert, we're still deciphering you. Thank you, sir. I 0:46:47.379 --> 0:46:48.600 don't know how you can tell people to get back 0:46:48.660 --> 0:46:50.700 in their cell. They're going, what is he saying? Get 0:46:50.739 --> 0:46:52.540 back in the cell or leave the cell? It could 0:46:52.580 --> 0:46:56.009 create problems in that environment. Dean, I like it. I'll 0:46:56.029 --> 0:46:57.529 give you a call later. Thank you very much for 0:46:57.549 --> 0:46:58.889 putting your hand up, mate. Have a good day. 0:46:58.910 --> 0:46:59.930 Thank you, sir. 0:46:59.950 --> 0:47:00.350 Appreciate it. 0:47:01.259 --> 0:47:03.439 All right, coming up next, we've got what are the odds? 0:47:03.660 --> 0:47:06.279 And if you still want to find out more about 0:47:06.319 --> 0:47:08.040 the stand-up night, the easiest thing to do right now, 0:47:08.080 --> 0:47:09.379 we're moving into the news, and then we'll do your 0:47:09.419 --> 0:47:14.880 stories of coincidence and chance, is email me, christian at christianoconnell.com.au. 0:47:14.940 --> 0:47:16.760 You don't need to have done anything on stage before. 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:19.219 Don't worry about that. But if just right now you're 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:20.999 listening and thinking, God, I'd love to give that a go, 0:47:21.419 --> 0:47:26.070 I love making people laugh, then email me, christian at christianoconnell.com.au. 0:47:26.750 --> 0:47:29.410 The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. 0:47:30.140 --> 0:47:33.119 Australia's intern this morning is working in a very busy 0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:36.129 cafe in Melbourne in Richmond, Top Paddock.

It's cleaning the 0:47:55.799 --> 0:47:56.940 posts outside the front. 0:47:57.339 --> 0:47:58.340 Not a real job. 0:47:58.359 --> 0:47:58.700 Yeah. 0:47:59.489 --> 0:48:03.529 Hey, listen.

Bless him. All right, let's get 0:48:14.219 --> 0:48:15.580 into what are the odds? 0:48:15.580 --> 0:48:18.120 20 years ago when movie night meant you had to 0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:19.980 go and rent a DVD or buy a DVD, me 0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:22.129 and my girlfriend at the time went to Chapel Street 0:48:22.169 --> 0:48:24.469 to buy some DVDs to watch. I wanted to buy 0:48:24.569 --> 0:48:28.009 Face Off, the movie with Nicolas Cage. So we bought 0:48:28.029 --> 0:48:29.749 the movie. We left and we went up the road, 0:48:29.770 --> 0:48:31.729 Chapel Street, and we looked over to our right in 0:48:31.750 --> 0:48:34.880 the cafe and we're like, we recognize that guy. And 0:48:35.020 --> 0:48:38.040 Nicolas Cage was sat in the window of the cafe 0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:38.840 having a coffee. 0:48:39.730 --> 0:48:42.219 From last week's What Are The Odds?

How are you? 0:50:50.370 --> 0:50:52.529 I'm good, Patrick. Thanks for calling in, mate. What's your 0:50:52.569 --> 0:50:53.129 story for us? 0:50:54.169 --> 0:50:57.350 So I'll tell you two years ago now, I'm from Melbourne, 0:50:57.370 --> 0:51:00.860 and I was visiting Greece, a specific place called Ithaca. 0:51:01.669 --> 0:51:03.779 And I was leaving the hotel at about 10 o'clock 0:51:03.819 --> 0:51:05.819 in the morning on the way to the pub. And 0:51:05.859 --> 0:51:08.129 then I was walking down the street and I noticed 0:51:08.149 --> 0:51:11.169 the Aussie flag hanging off somebody's front door. And we 0:51:11.190 --> 0:51:12.849 ended up starting chatting. He's like, where are you from? 0:51:12.930 --> 0:51:15.649 And we introduced ourselves. And I introduced myself with my 0:51:15.669 --> 0:51:18.450 last name, Raftopoulos. And then he's like, you're joking. Well, 0:51:18.469 --> 0:51:20.320 I'm a Raftopoulos as well. And as we're on that 0:51:20.339 --> 0:51:22.079 same street, I looked up at the actual street sign. 0:51:22.790 --> 0:51:27.950 And the street sign was Rastopolis Street. And then his 0:51:27.989 --> 0:51:29.950 cousin come over and he's like, I'm another Rastopolis. And 0:51:30.009 --> 0:51:33.389 I was just like, you're joking. So, you know, three 0:51:33.430 --> 0:51:37.129 random blokes. We all had the same last name, which 0:51:37.169 --> 0:51:38.289 was sort of unique. 0:51:39.569 --> 0:51:41.370 And you're on the street. 0:51:42.149 --> 0:51:43.350 Yeah, I was walking down the street. 0:51:43.410 --> 0:51:44.150 Yeah, yeah. 0:51:44.839 --> 0:51:48.059 This is incredible. I love this. Patrick, great story.

He's doing really well. 0:57:03.390 --> 0:57:05.489 You sound terrified to be on the radio after what 0:57:05.509 --> 0:57:08.190 happened on Smooth FM. Don't worry, I'm not Mike Perso 0:57:08.250 --> 0:57:11.450 or any of those dullard androids over there. They've been 0:57:11.529 --> 0:57:13.749 playing with early AI on the radio over there. 0:57:14.270 --> 0:57:17.310 Usually when I'm on the radio, I win something.

I 0:59:30.760 --> 0:59:32.400 was talking about this earlier on Back to the Future 0:59:32.440 --> 0:59:34.919 Day in that, you know, in the original movie, the 0:59:34.980 --> 0:59:38.900 first one, he travels back 30 years. He goes from 1985... 0:59:38.900 --> 0:59:42.479 to 1955. It's all old-timey music out of those old radios. 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:46.440 If that movie was made today, going back 30 years, 0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:51.330 Marty goes back to 1996.

Today, he's been at the 1:04:13.590 --> 1:04:17.690 Top Haddock Cafe, who've done a great job with him. Pete, 1:04:17.710 --> 1:04:18.490 are you still there? 1:04:18.510 --> 1:04:18.590 Yeah. 1:04:19.230 --> 1:04:21.350 Still here, still here. It has been a very, very 1:04:21.430 --> 1:04:25.090 busy slash emotional morning here. Can I just say. 1:04:25.390 --> 1:04:29.070 Oh, Daryl and Mary, thank you so much for introducing 1:04:29.130 --> 1:04:31.980 us to them, Pete. Generally, well done. They were a joy. 1:04:32.820 --> 1:04:34.479 They were an absolute joy. And can I just tell 1:04:34.540 --> 1:04:36.140 you what happened behind the scenes? As soon as we 1:04:36.160 --> 1:04:39.640 got off air, both of them in tears, the entire 1:04:39.680 --> 1:04:42.140 cafe stood up and gave them both the biggest round 1:04:42.160 --> 1:04:46.019 of applause because they are such a special couple. And 1:04:46.160 --> 1:04:49.650 I'm almost emotional saying this because... As I said, they 1:04:49.710 --> 1:04:52.650 have been here every day for 13 years, except for 1:04:52.690 --> 1:04:54.790 pretty much that three months when he was in hospital, 1:04:54.930 --> 1:04:58.650 and they were dearly missed here at the cafe here. So, 1:04:59.350 --> 1:05:02.150 you know, not only just them, but the staff, part 1:05:02.169 --> 1:05:04.720 of the Darling group, they've got locations all over Melbourne 1:05:04.760 --> 1:05:08.400 and Sorrento. This group here, this is what they are 1:05:08.480 --> 1:05:11.880 when it comes to their local businesses. It's about the 1:05:11.919 --> 1:05:14.040 locals as well. This is your home. So I just 1:05:14.060 --> 1:05:15.920 wanted to say a huge shout-out to them for having 1:05:15.990 --> 1:05:17.870 us at the cafe here today as well. 1:05:18.460 --> 1:05:20.709 Yeah, it's been great fun.

And Sasha, the manager, he's been my team 1:05:38.660 --> 1:05:42.479 leader today. I guess I want to say personally thank 1:05:42.500 --> 1:05:45.280 you for having me today. And I know that there's 1:05:45.300 --> 1:05:47.780 some really positive Google reviews going out already.

It's been great working with you, Pete. 1:05:55.810 --> 1:05:57.690 And 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10, guys. 1:05:57.710 --> 1:06:00.630 Thank you so much, Sasha, for hosting us today. Top 1:06:00.669 --> 1:06:04.579 Paddock is a great cafe. Check it out. Now, Pete, 1:06:04.700 --> 1:06:07.800 I've got another urgent mission for you tomorrow morning, mate. 1:06:08.580 --> 1:06:12.709 Yes, mission, Pete? Is that my nickname, mission, Pete? 1:06:13.110 --> 1:06:13.249 Yep. 1:06:14.050 --> 1:06:15.770 Now, earlier on, I don't know, you would have been 1:06:15.790 --> 1:06:17.530 busy working, but we spoke to Vanessa. You know the 1:06:17.570 --> 1:06:19.450 lady I told you about? She emailed me. She's lost 1:06:19.490 --> 1:06:21.830 her wedding ring at Caulfield Races on Sunday. 1:06:22.530 --> 1:06:22.729 Yes. 1:06:24.110 --> 1:06:26.870 Focus, Pete. And tomorrow, we need you to go out 1:06:26.910 --> 1:06:29.900 to Caulfield Races, get a metal detector, and try and 1:06:30.060 --> 1:06:30.520 find it. 1:06:31.380 --> 1:06:35.519 That would be my absolute honour. Two things. One thing, 1:06:35.640 --> 1:06:37.660 I do actually own a metal detector, so we're all 1:06:37.700 --> 1:06:39.460 sorted for that, which is absolutely fantastic. 1:06:39.640 --> 1:06:40.260 What? 1:06:40.300 --> 1:06:44.170 Why does that not surprise me, though? 1:06:44.210 --> 1:06:47.510 Why am I surprised? Of course someone's got a metal detector. Okay. 1:06:47.750 --> 1:06:50.550 So you don't need a metal detector.
