Speaker 1: Hey, this is Christian O'Connell, just letting you know. I've
Speaker 1: got a new book come now in a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks time. The reason why I'm giving you a heads
Speaker 1: up is you can buy it cheaper than when it
Speaker 1: comes out.
Speaker 4: It's available for pre sale.
Speaker 1: It's called Unscript, and it's all the mistakes I've basically
Speaker 1: made in thirty years of breakfast radio, so you don't
Speaker 1: have to make them in your speaking. Most of us
Speaker 1: perform some version of ourselves when we're talking, depending on
Speaker 1: the situation we're in. And the book Unscript that I've written,
Speaker 1: which comes out in four weeks time, how she finds
Speaker 1: your authentic voice. Everyone has these various blocks. Sometimes because
Speaker 1: speaking is easy, we all know how to do it,
Speaker 1: but in certain situations it gets jammed up. It might
Speaker 1: be in a meeting when he got to give an
Speaker 1: impromptu speech how to tell better stories. Some of the
Speaker 1: people have been coaching over the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: is even trying to have a courage to ask a
Speaker 1: question on a team's meeting as well. This helps you
Speaker 1: remove your speaking block so you can have more confidence
Speaker 1: in any room, in any situation, and be more of yourself.
Speaker 1: How you can find your true authentic voice. It's called
Speaker 1: down script. And right now I've done a deal with
Speaker 1: book Topia, brilliant online bookstore. If you use the code
Speaker 1: word Brightside, we call the show the bright Sila Dal.
Speaker 1: If you use the code word Brightside, you get twenty
Speaker 1: percent off and you get the chance to come in
Speaker 1: and watch the show as well, and an additional thank
Speaker 1: you for pre ordering the book because actually helps me out.

Speaker 8: to it, and I thought, you know what. I had

Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I've done that.
Speaker 4: I put it on a hangar and just hoovered.
Speaker 6: It works so.
Speaker 1: Well, patched, it's really reassuring as well. It takes ages
Speaker 1: because you've got to use it. Do you use that
Speaker 1: super thin nozzle.
Speaker 7: No, I just hit a proper vacuum.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, vacuum the one that goes on the floor.

Speaker 1: very very small, very small, the world's smallest VIP section.
Speaker 1: All right, Rio is going to tell us something that
Speaker 1: he saw yesterday, and two things.
Speaker 4: Two reactions before the show. When he started talking about
Speaker 4: me and.
Speaker 1: Lockie, we all were like deeply excited and animated and
Speaker 1: activated in what Rio had seen. Caitlin and producer Tina,
Speaker 1: the two Chuckle sisters, were bored, didn't care at all.
Speaker 1: And I then talked about that bored them and they said,
Speaker 1: we're not remotely interested in this. I said, Tina, do
Speaker 1: you find it interesting? She was like, no, not really,
Speaker 1: And so we think it's a guy thing. Is this
Speaker 1: a guy thing? What did you see yesterday? And I'm jealous.
Speaker 1: I wish you would have called me. I would have
Speaker 1: I would have come around to watch it with you.
Speaker 6: I had the best afternoon ever yesterday. On the end
Speaker 6: of my street, this big block of houses were getting demolished.
Speaker 6: It was demolition day, so they had all the big machines,
Speaker 6: the excavator that's the only one I know the name of,
Speaker 6: rolling in and I said to the guy, oh, when
Speaker 6: are you doing these? He goes today? I said oh.
Speaker 6: When he said one o'clock, I was like, can I
Speaker 6: just stand by the fence, he goes, Yeah, no worries.
Speaker 6: So I went down, stood by the front fence and
Speaker 6: watched for two and a half hours as they dismantled
Speaker 6: this Oh crash took them, took the roots, and then
Speaker 6: they hack it like the middle. I don't even know
Speaker 6: what it's called. And then it starts to tumble down
Speaker 6: and they start scraping it away, and then they moved
Speaker 6: to the next Is there a wrecking ball? There wasn't
Speaker 6: a wrecking ball. Now, movies and cartoons have led me
Speaker 6: to believe.
Speaker 4: Sorry to be fair, led us up the garden path
Speaker 4: of lives.
Speaker 6: There was no wrecking ball, and sadly, there was no
Speaker 6: what do you call that T and T detonators detonator
Speaker 6: that I was sort of expecting in a residential area.
Speaker 1: Returning it now, if the people who run Chao Sports
Speaker 1: want to make extra money, start streaming demolitions around Australia,
Speaker 1: lies I gladly pay up to nine dollars ninety a
Speaker 1: month for just demolitions and building has been blown up.
Speaker 4: I'd happily pay for that.
Speaker 6: It's so couldn't leave. It was like I was HYPNOTI
Speaker 6: literally two and a half hours one thirty. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: I could have stayed longer, but you do have things
Speaker 6: to do eventually, and.
Speaker 4: What are you alone? And were there other men? Because
Speaker 4: it's like a magnet to men.
Speaker 6: There were every single man that walked past was drawn
Speaker 6: to it and would stay for at least ten minutes.
Speaker 4: It's like moss to a flame, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yes, literally nearby, I reckon, there's they smell is at
Speaker 1: the dust in the air, and someone there's a building
Speaker 1: being flat right now, and you just know where it is.
Speaker 6: And we didn't say a word to each other. No
Speaker 6: one spoke to each other. We just stood there.
Speaker 4: Silently watching a building being destroyed.
Speaker 6: It was awesome.
Speaker 4: And then there's nothing. Yeah, and then and then it's hours.
Speaker 6: Raised to the ground and then they start picking the
Speaker 6: stuff up, putting the skip. I could have watched that
Speaker 6: as well. That was fascinating.
Speaker 4: Patty, are you interested in if.
Speaker 8: I can't believe you've got two and a half hours
Speaker 8: in an afternoon, if any afternoon, to just sit.
Speaker 1: Kids and watch my partner and sisters hearing it for
Speaker 1: the second time.
Speaker 9: Ten minutes is even long enough that half of the
Speaker 9: men are standing there watching that all they're doing is
Speaker 9: knocking something down, it's just gonna go crash.
Speaker 1: No. No, the big equipment, you know, and being able
Speaker 1: to use that kind of big, heavy equipment but using
Speaker 1: it delicately and with precision, those are skills I don't think.
Speaker 9: I just wouldn't even think that far into it. I'd
Speaker 9: just be like, oh, that place is getting knocked down.
Speaker 6: And the best part of watching it is it's up
Speaker 6: there and then you can see when it's about it
Speaker 6: starts tension point.
Speaker 1: Guys, Guys, guys, just ha, you're not looking away?
Speaker 4: Crash you know what?
Speaker 10: You know what?
Speaker 1: You've started a new trends demolition maxing. It's a new maxing.
Speaker 1: Get on board.
Speaker 4: It would appear this is a guy thing.
Speaker 1: So far, based on Fever, no women on the show
Speaker 1: are remotely interested in what Rio spent two hours yesterday
Speaker 1: as they doing.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: Abby's just joined the show. She's running our socials, doing
Speaker 1: a great job. She's like, no, I'm out. She probably
Speaker 1: will fall as editing this.
Speaker 4: This will probably be the video of the year.
Speaker 1: This will go trending more than Shannonole singing Friday doing
Speaker 1: his cover of horses. This will be the big one. Yeah, Abby,
Speaker 1: when you put this live. Just put in like in
Speaker 1: between every other word where you're speaking, just putting buildings
Speaker 1: being flattened. Oh, that would be big, big equipment with
Speaker 1: those big tires. They don't even have tires have tracks. Yes,
Speaker 1: do you know what used to be on the news,
Speaker 1: and I say, bring it back? When they were blowing
Speaker 1: up a multi story building. This used to be on
Speaker 1: the tea time. And when it would be like the
Speaker 1: first or second story, like a big old seventies tower
Speaker 1: block was get being blown up, something.
Speaker 7: In Vegas or something in Australia.
Speaker 4: They don't do that on the news, zon. Why have
Speaker 4: we moved on from that? I know what?
Speaker 6: Bring it back? Are we not demolishing buildings.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're flattening very big old buildings to make
Speaker 1: way for you more expensive apartments and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: But they must be blowing them up. Why are we
Speaker 4: knowing about this? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Is that Patty? You need to talk to the news
Speaker 6: industry and say bring it back.
Speaker 4: All right, So a couple of things.
Speaker 1: Maybe I've got this wrong, but I'm just basing on
Speaker 1: our research and feedback so far. This is definitely a
Speaker 1: guy thing about being captivated by a building being demolished.
Speaker 1: Are there any women who are listening to this and
Speaker 1: actually getting very very excited? Go bloody? How has you
Speaker 1: got any videos of that? You go photos? I don't
Speaker 1: put them on socials.
Speaker 5: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Hot topic right now one the hottest topics of the year, demolitions,
Speaker 1: buildings being demolished. Is it a guy thing, Christian? It
Speaker 1: it is not. My name is Lynnie. It fascinates me too.
Speaker 1: Where have you been in my life?
Speaker 4: Lynn?
Speaker 1: Massive machinery even it's pleasing to say massive machinery, massive machinery.
Speaker 1: Am I just start saying that more like tomorrow's show
Speaker 1: massive machinery even if there isn't any It's like a
Speaker 1: dog whistle to certain people to get excited about tomorrow's
Speaker 1: show this Friday on The Christian O'Connell Show, Massive Machinery, Christian,
Speaker 1: I love hearing.
Speaker 4: About it too. I'm a lady. But why does RIO
Speaker 4: keep seeing raised to the ground?
Speaker 1: Because I think you're thinking of raised as in r
Speaker 1: ais ed to raise something about raised ras z ed
Speaker 1: is the correct phrase and correct wording to raise it
Speaker 1: to the ground.
Speaker 4: Patsy's a journaist, that's right, Is it.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christian, it is not true. I'm a woman and

Speaker 1: Jean Crooper drumriff. Exactly the exactly you start. The girls
Speaker 1: start this trampoline and their favorite thing in the world,
Speaker 1: where you know, you were slightly scared and you were
Speaker 1: getting and you were giggling and also terrified. Was me
Speaker 1: getting on doing the double bounce? No, no, no, don't

Speaker 1: September last year, my husband and I set off from
Speaker 1: Melbourne on a road trip to far North Queensland. Day one,
Speaker 1: about twenty k south of Hey. We hit a bump
Speaker 1: on the boat. Traider detached from the tow bar at
Speaker 1: one hundred k's an hour. Luckily no mad to damage,
Speaker 1: but the tow ball bar had failed and was stuck
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere. Husband drove it to Hay
Speaker 1: for new towball and jack, leaving me to guard the boat,
Speaker 1: which I realized He's more right about that than leaving
Speaker 1: his wife in the middle of No One. Whilst I
Speaker 1: was waiting with patchy phone reception, a bloke in his
Speaker 1: U passed, turned around stopped to holt. When I explained
Speaker 1: the situation, he said, do you want me to lift
Speaker 1: the boat with my crane? Sure enough, he had a
Speaker 1: hydraulic crane on the back of his hute because it
Speaker 1: is as Australia. Within minutes he'd lifted up the trailer.
Speaker 1: How can he get it back on? The car packed
Speaker 1: up and left stuck in the middle of no One.
Speaker 1: Need a man with a crane? The universe sent me
Speaker 1: one Christian, one of the odds I sed to live
Speaker 1: in Sydney. One morning I walked into my regular gym.
Speaker 1: Sitting on the bike was a chap who took my eye.

Speaker 11: seeing obviously, and reminiscing and that sort of thing. So

Speaker 11: while these guys were in one of the areas where
Speaker 11: the Australians had been based. I want to say, knew it, did?
Speaker 11: I think? They were milling around in an open area
Speaker 11: and these little local kids came up to them wanting
Speaker 11: to sell things that they had. Anyway, one little boy
Speaker 11: had a set of dog tags, you know, like the
Speaker 11: identification tags that soldiers wear in more. Anyway, the men
Speaker 11: were looking at these tags and they flipped them over
Speaker 11: and the name on them was the name of one
Speaker 11: of the men in the travel party, and they were
Speaker 11: his tags that he had lost whilst serving over there.
