Speaker 3: passport to the sort of the last minute, and.
Speaker 5: Now peace just like this is a big trip to
Speaker 5: take a little four month old right to America to
Speaker 5: meet his in laws and his family over there.
Speaker 4: So when did you apply for his passport?
Speaker 3: Months ago? Really, honestly a month ago. It's been crazy, insane.
Speaker 2: Have you seen people. There'd be people lining up right
Speaker 2: now outside the passport Often you know.
Speaker 5: That there's companies now where they bring that you can
Speaker 5: hire them. They will bring you food and stuff like
Speaker 5: that and take your place for an hour that you
Speaker 5: can't go it and then it texts you yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm about five people away. Now you can
Speaker 4: come back.
Speaker 3: Well, you can't even call the passport office. Now they
Speaker 3: just they don't even put you on hold and say like,
Speaker 3: we'll ring you back now since you ring them, and
Speaker 3: they go, sorry, we're.
Speaker 4: Not doing working there right, It might just be phones
Speaker 4: ringing off. I reckon. The first you can get the
Speaker 4: morning is unplugged the phones.
Speaker 3: We're just completely overwhelmed. Shut down him links, pull the
Speaker 3: blinds down, pretend we're not here a place to watch,
Speaker 3: so what have you? So he hasn't got a pass
Speaker 3: So this is the thing. Last week on Thursday, we
Speaker 3: got the message that said, hey, his passport's made.
Speaker 4: And did it like you show me right now? Single
Speaker 4: thumb up? Was there? Just an a bojie thumbs.
Speaker 5: So it's all good, and then it goes to a
Speaker 5: double thumbs up when it's been delivered.
Speaker 3: Now we just keep looking at that tracking number and
Speaker 3: oz Post hasn't picked it up. So it's just sitting there.
Speaker 4: What I'm doing some I don't know, someone's desk.
Speaker 3: Some guy's desk. He's made it. He's going all right,
Speaker 3: I've sent the thumbs up emoji to Jack and Banka
Speaker 3: that's made and now I was post up picking it
Speaker 3: up from his desk.
Speaker 2: It's in the system.
Speaker 3: So we have four days left now.
Speaker 2: Sweating a higher trip to America hang in the balance,
Speaker 2: and so how hard is it?
Speaker 4: As well?
Speaker 5: People might not realize if you have had kids, right,
Speaker 5: getting that baby passport photo right, it's there in the
Speaker 5: passport for ten years. And remember Lois when she's just.
Speaker 4: Like a baby spudhead. It looks like we're traveling with
Speaker 4: a potato. Right, she had that for ten years, so
Speaker 4: she was like eight or nine. It's still getting out
Speaker 4: of passport control.
Speaker 5: And you don't look like the baby you were nine
Speaker 5: years ago.
Speaker 3: It's so tricky to get the photo we did this
Speaker 3: month ago. Now, But did you go to the post office?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Where you have to stand to the side, And aren't.
Speaker 4: They fun places to go to?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: I like to go to the post office just to
Speaker 4: soak up the vibe there.
Speaker 3: It's not generalized, but some attitudes at the post office stinky,
Speaker 3: and we had a stinky one. And so I'm trying
Speaker 3: to hold up my son to get his passport photo,
Speaker 3: which is a core workout self, because you're gonna go
Speaker 3: full extended.
Speaker 5: But then you've got to remove from it because they
Speaker 5: can't have any extra bits photo.
Speaker 3: So they kept saying, oh, no, your fingers in it.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, well I've got it.
Speaker 4: Some part of me has to hold to learn how
Speaker 4: to levitate you.
Speaker 3: He kind of hold his neck up, so they keep saying,
Speaker 3: oh no, we can see the tip of your finger.
Speaker 3: So I end up pinching the back.
Speaker 4: Of his neck. Photo it's the only way to keep
Speaker 4: his head up.
Speaker 3: And then they get out this stinky.
Speaker 4: This baby is Bert Newton reborn.
Speaker 3: To get the baby to look at the camera, they've
Speaker 3: got like they must have had it for twenty thirty years,
Speaker 3: this stinky old toy that they find out. I was like,
Speaker 3: it's been chewed by a dog, and she's the lady
Speaker 3: with a bad attitudes. Look at the camera. It's not
Speaker 3: getting his attention to what you did.
Speaker 4: In every couple of minutes, just looking at the updates,

Speaker 2: lightbulb moment, and I've called out to Chris. He was

Speaker 2: So anyway, I've looked up and you know what, every
Speaker 2: single one of them.
Speaker 5: I know what is it about uber ees were because
Speaker 5: you're not handing someone money. It's just it's just like
Speaker 5: two buttons on.
Speaker 4: Your phone button and then you lose the kind of
Speaker 4: sense that there's money coming out of your account. That
Speaker 4: it's so easy to do.
Speaker 2: So every single one of them.
Speaker 4: So you now got some kind of limit.
Speaker 2: Yes, once a week.
Speaker 4: We all try that.
Speaker 5: You don't even make the sixth day of that. You'll
Speaker 5: wake up one morning on a Sunday with a hangover.

Speaker 6: Masai in the broad Meadows pass Away Road.
Speaker 4: I've drove into a Maserati. He's like one.
Speaker 5: They're handmade Italian, very expensive sports cars.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what my dad kept them saying after I
Speaker 6: got into it.
Speaker 4: So what did you end of Masarati?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I didn't have. Basically, their breaks are just so sensitive,
Speaker 6: so I didn't really like it was a green light.
Speaker 6: I don't know that anyway.
Speaker 4: It's the Maseratis. You know, it's car, isn't it there?
Speaker 6: But anyways, I've been setting off my car for a
Speaker 6: while and I've got a four row thousand and eight,
Speaker 6: and I didn't realize that I didn't have insurance like
Speaker 6: a few months past, and you know, I just completely
Speaker 6: blew my mind. You know, I've been working. I work
Speaker 6: two jobs. Through your mind anyway, anyone.
Speaker 4: Knows you hit the car, you insurance. If that blows
Speaker 4: your mind, the rest of your life, young mo, blew
Speaker 4: your short need to do a campaign?
Speaker 5: Come on already letting us down? How old are you mate?
Speaker 5: By the way, how old are you man?
Speaker 6: I'm eighteen. That's why I put it. I tried to
Speaker 6: pull the story out there. But to always have insurance,
Speaker 6: because it's always useful to have us. Anyone out young
Speaker 6: there to like doesn't have a surance.
Speaker 4: Sign you off as opposed to boy, you'll be on
Speaker 4: the ass for them.
Speaker 5: Can I just ask, by the way, so if you're
Speaker 5: not in short right, how much did this this accident
Speaker 5: cost you?
Speaker 6: By the way, honestly, it's been nearly two months. Called
Speaker 6: my dad and they said, did you have insurance and
Speaker 6: they said no. He said no, and they said, we
Speaker 6: can't talk to you any further, and they plucked the
Speaker 6: phone call. It's been it's been that's been a month
Speaker 6: since that happened, and I'm just, you know, praying to
Speaker 6: God every morning.
Speaker 4: I can't be insurance policy, but not the only one. God.
Speaker 3: You get this car insured.
Speaker 4: God is looking after it right recovery.
Speaker 6: The car isn't short now. That gets my insurance to God.
Speaker 8: But you guys, you watch.
Speaker 4: What's it with the airback? When off?
Speaker 6: Your thought, so basically it was, you know, it was
Speaker 6: all studded. It spelt like there was gunpowder because when
Speaker 6: I what off, I thought my car was on fire.
Speaker 6: But it was actual gunpadder that was in the air bag.
Speaker 6: That in the night, that gets all that covers your
Speaker 6: face and it was pretty much like painless. I don't
Speaker 6: I don't feel anything at all. It was like a
Speaker 6: giant pillow. Both parties were fine, but yeah, I just
Speaker 6: got you know, a bloody nose and you know, scraash,
Speaker 6: but yeah, but yeah, pretty much everybody was fine. We
Speaker 6: just laughed about it.
Speaker 4: Dan. Yeah, so you're saying it was like a giant
Speaker 4: pillow basically going off in your face.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like pretty much like a giant pillow showing you
Speaker 6: my face pretty.
Speaker 4: Much the smell of gunpowder.
Speaker 6: And so I thought my car was on fire. I
Speaker 6: actually picked me out a bit, but I walked a
Speaker 6: gt out of the car stright away, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh no, But then I realized it was the It
Speaker 6: was the actual gun pedals in the actual a And how.
Speaker 4: Is your forward? Is your fder right?
Speaker 6: Sorry?
Speaker 4: Is your car? Is your car right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, No, it took about nearly two thousand repairs. But
Speaker 6: you know, you you live and learn. That's what life is.
Speaker 4: You're a wise young man.
Speaker 3: You're pretty cheaper for somebody who.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's you can't throw in the past. You
Speaker 6: know you can't. You can't really look at it.
Speaker 4: Actually courts them all often do dwell in the past, penomena,
Speaker 4: aren't dwelling in the past.
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, now, when the masera owner does call
Speaker 3: you try to use someone weeks ago, had.
Speaker 4: Any air cart told? It's about the now, live in
Speaker 4: the prison the power of now.
Speaker 6: It's a funny story because I work out from as well,
Speaker 6: and I see him there all the time because he
Speaker 6: works there, because I was coming back home from work
Speaker 6: and he works unfortunately works.
Speaker 8: It as well.
Speaker 6: So every now and then I just give him an
Speaker 6: awkward no, I'm not.
Speaker 5: I call this hour of the show the most show.

Speaker 5: on the roads.
Speaker 4: Please.
Speaker 1: The show is leaving the building The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 5: With today's show, we simply have to say a huge
Speaker 5: thank you. We are in a situation where yesterday ran
Speaker 5: about sort of twenty four hours ago. I think it
Speaker 5: was about quarter to eight yesterday morning. We spoke a
Speaker 5: song called Heidi. Heidi is an amazing woman. She's an angel,
Speaker 5: and her and about ten other cares care for this
Speaker 5: wonderful young mam Ha's got two beautiful kids who are
Speaker 5: six and eight, and she's sadly a Dina has MND
Speaker 5: and at the moment why they've been trying to save
Speaker 5: money to get a Dina a specially adapted vehicle, a
Speaker 5: van so she can just do the school run with
Speaker 5: the kids. And she was diagnosed three years ago, and
Speaker 5: so while she still is able to, she wants able
Speaker 5: to do something as simple as a school run. This
Speaker 5: is something which all of us mums and dads take
Speaker 5: for granted. She just really wants to do that, just
Speaker 5: to literally put her wheelchair in between the two kids.
Speaker 5: So they had a target to get a second hand
Speaker 5: one of twenty two and a half thousand dollars and
Speaker 5: Hiley was asking yesterday if you could help, and so
Speaker 5: we had no money yesterday at card a tway And
Speaker 5: now this is amazing to say this, And if you
Speaker 5: can't donate, just knowing that you're in the world where
Speaker 5: people do good stuff makes you feel bad by yourself.
Speaker 5: And actually, the one thing I think you know when
Speaker 5: you hear about people like aDNA what they're going through,
Speaker 5: what it does give you in what's going on in
Speaker 5: your life, is it gives you an immediate sense of.
Speaker 4: Gratification and you just appreciate what you have. And so
Speaker 4: we you've raised twenty eight thousand, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: four dollars since yesterday morning at eight am. So thank
Speaker 4: you isn't enough really, because there's people have given five dollars,
Speaker 4: you've given ten dollars, whatever you've given. I know it's
Speaker 4: almost three hundred people have donated something, and it's incredible.
Speaker 5: It means that she can get the vehicle. There's no
Speaker 5: better news we can give anyone. This week, she's going
Speaker 5: to get the vehicle. She can go and do the
Speaker 5: school run. So it's actually twenty eight thousand, so they're
Speaker 5: trying to raise twenty two and a half thousand. So
Speaker 5: we've got a bit more extra money. And at eight
Speaker 5: this morning and hiding the care that started all this yesterday.
Speaker 4: Really there's something else that we've gone back to aDNA.

Speaker 1: Christian Connell Show Podcast.
Speaker 5: So yesterday morning we spoke to Heidi. Heidi is a
Speaker 5: wonderful woman of Cara. She was telling us about someone
Speaker 5: very special she cares for, called Adina. She's a young
Speaker 5: mum and Saturday, three years ago she was diagnosed with
Speaker 5: MMD and her and the other cares, which are about
Speaker 5: ten that provide round the clock care for a Dina,
Speaker 5: we're trying to raise money for a specially adapted vehicle
Speaker 5: so that a Dina can still do the school run
Speaker 5: with her two young kids. And so yesterday when we
Speaker 5: asked you could you help, we had nothing and you've
Speaker 5: raised I think Jack is it twenty eight thousand dollars
Speaker 5: and seventy four dollars, which is incredible. So he wanted
Speaker 5: to get Heidi back to have a chat Heidi, can
Speaker 5: you believe it?
Speaker 10: No, I can't. I'm going away actually with the generosity
Speaker 10: of Melbourne, like just amazing. It's just so heartwarming and
Speaker 10: her generous and youse guys have done an amazing job.
Speaker 10: You've supplied the platform and yeah, we reached her goal
Speaker 10: just after lunchtime.
Speaker 4: I know, some believable. Yeah, you just never know what's
Speaker 4: going to happen.
Speaker 5: But people really cared about her story and wanting wanting
Speaker 5: to help in some small and you must have seen
Speaker 5: the messages.
Speaker 4: So did you go around and see a Dina yesterday?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I actually stopped in in the afternoon on the way
Speaker 10: home and it was just beautiful.
Speaker 6: Her home was so full of warmth and laughter. I
Speaker 6: actually got there.
Speaker 10: At hanover from her day care to a evening care,
Speaker 10: so there was two of the other cares there, her
Speaker 10: mother in law, father in law, and I think there
Speaker 10: wasn't a dry eye in the land. Trew on the
Speaker 10: couch watching that funny page and reading all the messages together.
Speaker 10: She's so so grateful, Like, yeah, I can't believe it,
Speaker 10: and she can't either, And there's lots of tears, but
Speaker 10: you know, I've seen a lot of sad tears from
Speaker 10: a dinner over her journey. But yes, they was happy
Speaker 10: tears like it was awesome.
Speaker 4: It's incredible. Thank you very much for passing on the
Speaker 4: message from her as well, which we read out early
Speaker 4: as well. That was amazing, Thank you, No worries.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she is onehappy young lady at the moment, and
Speaker 10: their family are and I'm they so deserve it and
Speaker 10: it's a life changing for them. I thought your life's changing.
Speaker 5: So listen because actually people have been so generous and
Speaker 5: originally you needed twenty two and a half thousand dollars, right,
Speaker 5: it's now twenty eight thousand dollars. So I know that
Speaker 5: the thing that they really really would love is a holiday,
Speaker 5: right and whilst they still can so I know Disneyland
Speaker 5: was a dream, but sadly that that can't happen. So
Speaker 5: we'll were thinking that what we'd like to do now
Speaker 5: then because the money is twenty eight and I didn't
Speaker 5: realize that. Obviously you care as do go away with
Speaker 5: families to give them support on a holiday.
Speaker 4: But you still have to pay. You get paid, but
Speaker 4: you have to pay for your own accommodation.
Speaker 10: It's yeah, I'm not sure on how that works. But yeah,
Speaker 10: the cares are out of puppet usually and usually don't
Speaker 10: get paid. You don't get paid like an hour raid
Speaker 10: or something. It's just to go and support the family.
Speaker 4: That's unlievable.
Speaker 10: You just sort of get a base rate. Yeah, some
Speaker 10: my understanding on that. Yeah, aDNA is always looking at
Speaker 10: holidays on our gauge and looking at places where they
Speaker 10: could go, but they can't go, and to make some
Speaker 10: memories on a holiday would be really really nice.
Speaker 5: For them, all right, So this is what we'd like
Speaker 5: to do because so obviously they can get the vehicle.
Speaker 5: Now she can do the school run, but really she
Speaker 5: wants to give the kids while she's still got time
Speaker 5: alive the next two or three years, to give them
Speaker 5: some memories.
Speaker 4: So it's not just of mums struggling. It's holidays.
Speaker 5: It's those stories that connect a family, aren't there about
Speaker 5: what happens when you go away on holiday. So what
Speaker 5: we'd love to do is we've looked into it is
Speaker 5: to send the family up to the Gold Coast with
Speaker 5: some cares and careers who are paid for as well
Speaker 5: and have their accommodation so you're not our pocket or anything.
Speaker 5: Because up on the Gold coast. There's loads of great
Speaker 5: theme parts as Went Wild and movie Well now, so
Speaker 5: the kids can have a great time as well. We
Speaker 5: can fly you all up there. So to do this properly,
Speaker 5: it's at twenty eight at the moment. We need another
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars so you can all have a fantastic
Speaker 5: week up there. We're looking at maybe July or August
Speaker 5: after school holidays when it's a bit quieter as well,
Speaker 5: but soon, like really soon, So we need another five
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. That's our new target. So if we can
Speaker 5: get from twenty eight thousand where we are now to
Speaker 5: thirty three thousand dollars, we can then give it in it.
Speaker 5: She's got the vehicle, so I don't mind to sound
Speaker 5: like a game show. You've won the vehicle now going
Speaker 5: for the big prize the holiday. But it does mean
Speaker 5: that actually they can have an amazing week and not
Speaker 5: one where they're struggling, where they can have a really
Speaker 5: good thing. They don't need to worry about money and
Speaker 5: how they're going to make ends meet, and I don't
Speaker 5: want them to worry about any of that, and the
Speaker 5: cares that go are being well looked after as well
Speaker 5: as you should be as well, So that's what we'd
Speaker 5: like to do now. So we are relying on the
Speaker 5: kindness of you guys this morning. It's at twenty eight thousand.
Speaker 5: About three hundred of you are already given them last
Speaker 5: twenty four hours, so thank you very much. But if
Speaker 5: you can give five or ten dollars and you haven't
Speaker 5: given yet, it's for a Dina, so she can go
Speaker 5: on holiday for a week to the Gold Coast with
Speaker 5: her two kids and her husband and have an amazing
Speaker 5: time and make some new memories for her six and
Speaker 5: eight year old kids. This would be an amazing situation.
Speaker 5: You've already done so much raising twenty eight thousand in
Speaker 5: just over twenty four hours, so we can raise another
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars. It would make a real difference and
Speaker 5: actually change their lives again, wouldn't it, Heidi.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, she would be so so humbled and grateful,
Speaker 10: and yeah, to make a memory like that would be
Speaker 10: unreachable for her and that's something she would never ask
Speaker 10: for either. Mike.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to make sure that you go with
Speaker 4: them as well.
Speaker 10: We'll say whatever's there, but yeah, yeah, it's all about

Speaker 5: And if centered, what sent lemon, lavender or something else.
Speaker 5: We dispute this over every time we got to buy groceries.

Speaker 5: scented liners. What do you guys say on the show?
Speaker 5: This needs to be on the census, Darryl, This is
Speaker 5: an important timely email. Thank you guys. Where do we stand?
Speaker 5: Centered or un sensed?
Speaker 3: I haven't previously sport more thought more than a second
Speaker 3: about it, but I don't go scentered. I just thought,
Speaker 3: if a bin's going to make a stinky smell, no
Speaker 3: way is it a little bit of lemon scenting going
Speaker 3: to overpower that.
Speaker 4: But you've got cent I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm with Jack.
Speaker 2: I go like the home brand ones. No point getting
Speaker 2: scentered when it makes the foul stench worse with that
Speaker 2: cheap sort of scented smell like the leavender.
Speaker 4: And I tried lavender, I did. I tried level of it?
Speaker 5: Think this would be a nice smell to walk into
Speaker 5: the kitchen. It smells cheap Patsy, I was walking into cheapness.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to feel cheap in my own kitchen.
