0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:23.240
<v Speaker 2>is known as wolf?

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 3>That is, you become wolf like if that's your name,

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 3>your hair, you have to change your clothes.

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You got to get rid of Michael's clothes. You're now wolf.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Imagine Michael Clark test Captain of Australia.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.720

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 3>Wolfgang Clark?

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, so have you changed your name? Andrew? Good morning,

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you've changed your name?

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. My father passed away late last year and we're

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 4>at the funeral and Carl started rating out John and

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 4>May and my three brothers are looking at each other, gingho,

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 4>the hell is John away at the wrong funeral? And

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 4>the backstory is when my father was born, my grand

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 4>and granddad had an argument on whether this should be

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 4>called John or Barry. We only ever knew him as Barry.

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 4>My grandma said, his name is Barry, but he got

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 4>registered as John. But every time somebody says what's the

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 4>baby's name? I said, Barry. I mean we always thought

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 4>his name was Barry until the day passed and we're

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 4>at the funeral, and we thought we're at the wrong funeral.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Andrew, this is incredible.

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 3>You hear about people finding out stuff they didn't know,

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, about a parent at a funeral, but not

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.279
<v Speaker 3>about that that's.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>A completely different name. That's remarkable.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 4>And my throat brothers are all looking at each other going,

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>what are we see? What? What's going on here? You do.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Funeral, but you're at the right funeral, just a different name.

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, John not Barry.

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we only we only ever knew him as Barry

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 4>and his real name was John.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So what did you put on the headstone wherever he

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>is now?

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Barry Barry?

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe in a sharpie be brackets.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 4>We should have done that in brackets, and that is

0:01:59.440 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 4>a great call.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Then we're going to give you a pair of gold

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>class double bass tickets.

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 4>I love that story, fantastic.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry about your dad as well, but it gave

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>us a great laugh with that. Thank you very much, Andrew,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much.

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 3>John James, Welcome to the show, Good morning, I'm good

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 3>John James.

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>So you changed your name? What's your story, John James.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So when I was probably I think I was

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 5>twenty years old, I changed my name to Achilles via

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 5>depot and it was it was just Achille, so there

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 5>was no surname. It was just like like Madonna, Yes.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>You're quite right, Beyonce Madonna. Now when you say you

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>were twenty, what else was going on?

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Hate?

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Now what happened was my friend, my friends and all that.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 5>We all sort of got a step of that movie

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Troy with Achilles, like the warrior that Brad Pitt played

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 5>the part. And now I probably thought I was probably

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 5>good looking at the time, and I was one of

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 5>those cud too sort of was like, oh, you wouldn't

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 5>do it. You wouldn't jump off that, you wouldn't run me,

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 5>so you wouldn't do that anyway. So I said, you

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't change your name to Achilles, and so yeah, I

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 5>was just so I went into the depot and they

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 5>said it toss thirty dollars to change your name. So

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 5>what happened was I thought I saw an asterisk next

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 5>to the bit that sort of said surname, and I

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 5>said to the guy, I said, why is there an

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 5>asterisk next to the surname and he said, well, technically

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 5>you don't have to have it have a surname. And

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, oh well, I said, the only thing you

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 5>can't change your name to is God or Jesus. And

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, all right, well I'll have a bit of

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 5>a chillie and I won't have a surname. And what

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 5>happened was I actually felt at actually forgot about it.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 5>So and I was named after my dad, so John,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 5>my actual name has gone through like generations and generations

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 5>that I forgot about it because it says about six

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 5>weeks to get approved. And then and then my mum

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 5>got a like a letter in the mail that just

0:03:53.560 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 5>said a chilling are chilling And she's just coming to

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 5>my room and she's like, what what the hell is this?

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 5>And I'm like, oh no, and don't give me a

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 5>new versesy for getting everything. So I didn't know. Obviously,

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 5>my dad's like losing it. He's gone off the thing,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 5>and I worked at his whole work, hadn't And if

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 5>the thing is about it as well, is if you

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 5>actually change it by depail, which I didn't know at

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 5>the time either you actually have to have it for

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 5>a minimum of two years, so you can't just you

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 5>can't just like go and change it back. So I

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 5>had to change the passport my life and I had.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Been going to work.

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 5>For a rather forgettable movie.

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 4>Yes and yeah, so it.

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 5>Was all happening, and then that's pretty much what happens.

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 5>And then in the end I had to get my

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 5>license change and they couldn't put anything where. So with

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 5>the computer, doesn't you know how if you're filling out

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 5>a form, it doesn't just go through to the next

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 5>line unless you feel something where where the surname was.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 5>So they're like, we're going to have to put like

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 5>a dot there. So it's just a pillies not.

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I am Symbolnce.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 5>By the police. They used to like take a photover

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 5>that and like send it in to make sure it

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 5>was real.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I just need to Achilles followed by a dot. I

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>can't believe you didn't keep it. Were you rushing to

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>get rid of it by the end of the two years.

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 5>It was when I tried to fly and get my partner,

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 5>Like when the pass war got changed. There was a

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 5>lot of complications with that because obviously, yeah, there's obviously

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the stuff was going on at that time.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 5>Was like yeah, yeah, so yeah, you want to watch.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Achilles.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 5>I wonder if Achilles was going to come over to

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 5>the country for different reasons. Yeah, for the two years

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 5>is a bit of a kick out, obviously because my

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 5>name has been actually had meaning to it, like John

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 5>had meaning to it as well.

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Sure, but just a dumb man.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 3>I've got to ask this, what was life like for

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 3>those twenty four months as Achilles?

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 5>Now I actually forgot about it, like now that I'm

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 5>going to going through the story again about maybe going

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 5>back to it.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 3>If it's thirteen bucks, one hundred bucks, this show will

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 3>pay for whatever it costs to change your name back

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 3>to Achilles.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>So he's a great name.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 5>I'll invoice you for the thirty bucks.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I gladly give it for the best day bucks in

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.359
