Speaker 1: I Heeart podcasts. You can hear more gold one I
Speaker 1: four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
Speaker 1: free iHeart app.
Speaker 2: Got anything good?
Speaker 3: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the weekend Rio.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Patsy, thank you he has made it weird
Speaker 4: that great to be welcome to the weekend. That's I
Speaker 4: think that's an appropriate response.
Speaker 5: Thank you. Yeah, do I throw it back to you.
Speaker 1: Welcome here, Seemple, say Chanks, Alex, Happy Friday. We're going
Speaker 1: to be okay today. The shark is in the water already.
Speaker 1: Can I just say the shark in the water? All right?
Speaker 1: The first half hour it'll be down a Friday. We
Speaker 1: go around the team. We call it double thumbs up
Speaker 1: and the things that we're enjoying this week. Warning, Warning, warning,
Speaker 1: Patsy has brought a physical item, a prop.
Speaker 5: It's always thumb nah, is it?
Speaker 1: I actually think of it the opposite way, all right?
Speaker 1: Two from me. Last week I was talking about Hama
Speaker 1: why wife loves sci Fi, and so we'd start to
Speaker 1: watch Foundation, and I wasn't sure if it was getting
Speaker 1: to get any better. It was gobbledygook about Starlock's Terminus
Speaker 1: and eighty seven other planets and soda symptems. I couldn't
Speaker 1: keep up with it all. A lot of you text
Speaker 1: in saying, stay with it. It's brilliant and we have
Speaker 1: stuck it out. It's awesome.
Speaker 5: Oh and you understand it.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: Well. No, neither my wife or I understand it. But
Speaker 1: we're okay now. In ignorance, actually, I think is one
Speaker 1: of the ten steps to enlightenment is actually just admitting
Speaker 1: we know nothing, but being happy in that. But no,
Speaker 1: very very good. And the other thing that is back
Speaker 1: season two of the Terminal lists on Prime. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Chris Prout, Stearne, Taylor Kitsch starred in the first season,
Speaker 1: which was really really good. Second season is even better.
Speaker 1: There's no Chris Pratt. He's obviously doing Jurassic Park. So
Speaker 1: what they have is he keeps is this on the phone?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: It's pretty it is and they might they just play
Speaker 1: his voice. What a great way to get a bit
Speaker 1: of coin, you know, can we try that one? You know,
Speaker 1: Alex is near, but he's on the phone right now.
Speaker 1: That's the sports can see your team. Chris Patt is
Speaker 1: in it, so they can put it on the posters.
Speaker 1: He's not physically you see him, he's left the voice
Speaker 1: smel anyway. It's just it's just he's just texted me. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's on these phone calls. And he's obviously in his
Speaker 1: trader on the set of Jurassic Park in that outfit. However,
Speaker 1: that means more Taylor Kitsch and if you're a fellow
Speaker 1: fan of Friday Night Lights, he's an outstanding ector. Even
Speaker 1: better the second season. Really we like it. I love
Speaker 1: the fact if you caught a show Lone Wolf, I'm
Speaker 1: all over them. Terminalist lone Wolf, turn out A turn
Speaker 1: from me, Patsy, what are you enjoying?
Speaker 6: A good tip from producer Caitlin which we have tried,
Speaker 6: you know how been doing my chili Kong khn. She
Speaker 6: has found a range of mixes that make it easy
Speaker 6: and they're very very healthy, no preservatives, no nut is
Speaker 6: brilliant for people on Keito like the first Lady, your
Speaker 6: wife or if you're gluten free, you know, because it's
Speaker 6: hard to get stuff that you can have.
Speaker 5: It's called mingle these spice mixers. Person, yes, mingle clear.
Speaker 1: And the races today, aren't.
Speaker 6: We We had tacos with him this week, Yes, taco
Speaker 6: Thursday or Tuesday Tuesday. Yes, and I don't know if
Speaker 6: it's just me, but the taco case is getting smaller.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm with Patsy. They are. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: is the making you now upsides to the Jumbo ones.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, so Jumbo is just a normal size brand.
Speaker 1: Are our hands getting bigger?
Speaker 5: No question?
Speaker 1: You heard it here first. This goes right to the top.
Speaker 1: It's all that four g Now, it's all the nasties
Speaker 1: and the spices. It's making my hands massive.
Speaker 5: Women were making them. It's actually hard to shove the
Speaker 5: filling in between.
Speaker 1: The taco size.
Speaker 5: I say, fairly.
Speaker 1: Get that wine my wine glass doesn't mean it was
Speaker 1: my ex a large wine glass getting smaller. Two of
Speaker 1: those glasses for people glass? What will they shrink next? Honestly.
Speaker 6: The other thing this week is all the cords in
Speaker 6: our teenager's room around her school desk were driving us
Speaker 6: insane and I don't know.
Speaker 1: How yes, terrible.
Speaker 6: I have rescued the rumba from the cords. It's eaten
Speaker 6: about two of her stars to pull.
Speaker 1: The desk over, doesn't it. I've had that's really exist.
Speaker 1: It's going to drag it down the corridor.
Speaker 3: Ward.
Speaker 6: I thought there's got to be a better solution, so
Speaker 6: we tried, you know, the power board. The love God
Speaker 6: tried to sort of mount it on the side of.
Speaker 1: Her to an outhousees it was terrible. Our teenagers should
Speaker 1: live actually in an outhouse and then come back when
Speaker 1: you're twenty one.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 6: But I found this that came out. It's an Rlex
Speaker 6: brand desk top power station and it's specifically for.
Speaker 1: It, and it's a plug on your desk.
Speaker 5: Brilliant though.
Speaker 1: It's actually like chances to Walter Raleig, who's been around
Speaker 1: the world with some amazing plug.
Speaker 6: It's brilliant, it's great, four points for power and all
Speaker 6: you like for your.
Speaker 1: I guess you'd call this a plug multi shopping.
Speaker 5: I've never seen it, have you seen?
Speaker 1: Doesn't know open Einstein's age, no idea. It's struggling with
Speaker 1: that zoomland in that laptop.
Speaker 5: You major in box opening.
Speaker 4: Sorry street Smarts, it's because it's bedroom.
Speaker 1: Why bring it in though, because I need.
Speaker 6: To see the information on the box and what it does.
Speaker 6: Because you inevitably would ask stupid questions, got no answer.
Speaker 5: Anyway. I found it good.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's great.
Speaker 6: You can put it in that little pod thing in
Speaker 6: your backy?
Speaker 1: How that now? Which is getting me just getting a
Speaker 1: new laptop. Let's just move on, all right, we're going
Speaker 1: to take her. I don't want to talk about Let's uh,
Speaker 1: there's take a break. We come back with part two
Speaker 1: of Double Thumbs Up the.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: In Christian O'Connell Show, we're doing Double thumbs Up. We
Speaker 1: go around the team and we share what we're into
Speaker 1: this week. Rio, what's it for you?
Speaker 7: I've got a couple for you guys. Firstly, we are
Speaker 7: into spring. We are into pollen season.
Speaker 1: Oh you getting into poland.
Speaker 5: Issues?
Speaker 1: Must have Oh yeah, a shout out. I'm really getting
Speaker 1: into pollend guy, what were they shrink next? They shrunk it?
Speaker 1: You know, pollen's.
Speaker 7: It's very hard to get accurate pollen readings on most
Speaker 7: of the major apps. So there is an independent Melbourne
Speaker 7: company called I'm not sure the company is called, but
Speaker 7: the app call is called Melbourne Pollen App and it
Speaker 7: has every day alert of the pollen rating in Melbourne.
Speaker 7: So today the grass pollen rating is low, you don't
Speaker 7: have to worry about it.
Speaker 5: It sends you a alert every morning.
Speaker 1: So when you wake up you have toash a really
Speaker 1: good idea.
Speaker 5: It's a lifesaver.
Speaker 7: I download it every spring, very very helpful, put on
Speaker 7: your notifications for it. Second one, I spoke about it
Speaker 7: three weeks ago after watching the first episode of Survivor.
Speaker 7: It is the finale on Sunday and it has been
Speaker 7: an incredible, incredible When it ends.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be devastated.
Speaker 7: I don't think Australians realize Survivor is so so big.
Speaker 7: It's in forty countries, it's been got fifty in America.
Speaker 1: It is the biggest TV most successful TV show in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 7: And Australia at the moment is the gold standard of
Speaker 7: Survivor around the world. It's like, yeah, it's revered as
Speaker 7: like the number one sort of the best players, the
Speaker 7: best strategy, the best Survivor seasons are always Australia at
Speaker 7: the moment.
Speaker 1: Would have thought that, I know, so, I know you
Speaker 1: would have done sorry, just whment I got on the passport.
Speaker 1: I would have thought that, actual, yeah, yeah, I knew that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels right, it feels right leaders a.
Speaker 7: Subject I don't know, but that so this season They've
Speaker 7: got all the best players from the history of Survivor
Speaker 7: against all the best Australian players.
Speaker 1: You really love it, don't you.
Speaker 5: It's so good.
Speaker 1: Suddenly you become a ten year old his new bank.
Speaker 1: He's got the best.
Speaker 5: Tony, David, George, they're all there.
Speaker 1: There's no empty box with this one. Yes, it's crammed.
Speaker 5: It's on tenth plate.
Speaker 7: If you've never watched Survivor, it's half the length of
Speaker 7: a normal season. It's so easy to get into. If
Speaker 7: you've never watched it, start here. It's as good as
Speaker 7: it gets. Ten play Survivor, Alex, What have you love?
Speaker 1: This week?
Speaker 8: I'm watching a show called Katrina Come Hell in high
Speaker 8: Water on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 8: I don't mean to bring the mood down, guys, but
Speaker 8: gee whiz, that was something in our history that I
Speaker 8: didn't know too much about. One hundred and twenty five
Speaker 8: billion dollars worth of damage. It wasn't so much the
Speaker 8: storm and all that came with the storm. It was
Speaker 8: like the next day that the damage was done because
Speaker 8: the levee broke around New Orleans and I didn't know any.
Speaker 1: Of this stuff.
Speaker 8: They had all these people in the super Dome, the
Speaker 8: NFL team has the Superdome there, But it wasn't until
Speaker 8: the next day, in that afternoon that all the flooding
Speaker 8: came in and there's like, you know, twenty five feet
Speaker 8: of water that just take it took over the entire city.
Speaker 8: So it's an incredible, I guess, learning experience about something
Speaker 8: that really shaped that area of America.
Speaker 1: And they're still talking about it and still getting over it. Well, one,
Speaker 1: they're warnings it was going to happen because I met
Speaker 1: years ago interviewing Harry Sheer, you know from spinal Tap, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and all lots of so many Simpsons characters. Anyway, that's
Speaker 1: his hometown. He actually made a documentary about what happened
Speaker 1: because the world didn't know, right, Yeah, that's on Netflix, Netflix.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: That's who My wife said to me, Hey, Chris, do
Speaker 1: you know anything about footy colors? And I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what this tradition was. And she's doing her
Speaker 1: master's degree in art therapy at the moment, and so
Speaker 1: two days a week she's on placement at this amazing school.
Speaker 1: She said, on the Thursday, they're earned footy colors all
Speaker 1: the teachers, they'll come in their team's twenty colors, and
Speaker 1: the kids as well. My wife is a lightweight D's fan.
Speaker 5: That's just so much.
Speaker 1: So right, how dare you? I've taken you to games?
Speaker 1: How dare you? So my wife goes to me, she's
Speaker 1: a Royal lightweight facer. She goes says, there, any can
Speaker 1: you just give me a couple of names and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, And I was this close to really giving
Speaker 1: her fake names. Yeah, Cletus van Dam is the coach,
Speaker 1: and Hulk Hogan is like the main goalscorer there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: John Cena as well is about the big guy at
Speaker 1: the back. So she we went to the d s
Speaker 1: much shop and I got a jumper and then she
Speaker 1: got these I didn't know he get D's pajama bottoms,
Speaker 1: so I know, I know, yeah, yeah, they're like checkered
Speaker 1: ones and that, and she looked like paddingson bear. So
Speaker 1: she went off to school yesterday and then so what
Speaker 1: they do is this is a lovely thing. We don't
Speaker 1: have this in England with the EPL. I love this
Speaker 1: idea of footie colors. So the whole school gets involved.
Speaker 1: So are hundreds of kids all turning up yesterday and
Speaker 1: then teams there was only in a very big school.
Speaker 1: There was only one other D's fan to walk around
Speaker 1: the special assembly they had yesterday with my wife right
Speaker 1: while they played the team song. It was all Hawks fans,
Speaker 1: Pies fans as well, maybe bandwagon jumpers like Patsy as well.
Speaker 1: Would come out of the woodwork. Bet she's there with
Speaker 1: their scarf today, streaming out of her car window driving
Speaker 1: through the streets. And Alex, you're finding it about this now?
Speaker 1: Is your talk to ev she's doing footie colors today?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, they cannot wait for it. And yesterday we were
Speaker 8: at the playground and Evy and Audrey and Max are
Speaker 8: all there, my six year old twins and Max was four,
Speaker 8: and I had both crying at the same time. So
Speaker 8: Max is crying with a with a pain in his stomach,
Speaker 8: and then Evy comes off the monkey bars, face first
Speaker 8: onto the ground.
Speaker 1: I didn't say it. Oh god, Yeah, so I had
Speaker 1: two okay.
Speaker 8: Crying children at once. Yeah, she's okay, but she really
Speaker 8: hit her head and sort of hit just above her eye.
Speaker 8: So anyway, we get back home and she's putting ice
Speaker 8: on it, and I was like, oh, Edie, tomorrow.
Speaker 5: You can look like a footy player because it's colours day.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, she looks the parts immediately more like an
Speaker 1: n RL player. But yees, because.
Speaker 5: They're gonna wear Edie.
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna wear her New South Wales State
Speaker 8: of Origins, Jersey.
Speaker 1: Or Dad's team of the Kangers. So no wonder she's gone.
Speaker 1: Where's my crnella Sharks top.
Speaker 8: Paramount of heels? I couldn't get it away. The Panthers
Speaker 8: one and then Audrey she's sticking with the North Melbourne
Speaker 8: CA Kangaroo's colors, so they can't wait. They're really looking forward.
Speaker 1: So it's Putty colours Chamber and the NRL boys on
Speaker 1: the team. So and it's some really is that some
Speaker 1: of the nr L you do as well? Was it
Speaker 1: just an AFL thing? I think it's an AFL thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never seen.
Speaker 7: I'm not familiar with it up in New South Wales.
Speaker 7: I think it's just a lovely Victorian thing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and a great idea too because it's raising money
Speaker 8: as well, which is a nice thing for the fight
Speaker 8: cancer next year.
Speaker 1: Let's do it on the show. Yes, yes, yes, I'll
Speaker 1: see if I could fit into my wife's d's pajama bottoms.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Luke Christian, I heard you talk about what does dad want?
Speaker 1: My dad already wants is a slushy or ice cream machine?
Speaker 1: And where do you get would you even? I mean,
Speaker 1: can we buy them? Is it available? Is that a
Speaker 1: trade on? You know, certain things are only like if
Speaker 1: you're in the trade you can get one and you're
Speaker 1: or you're you're outfitting a brand new seven eleven And
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think when I've never seen one of those?
Speaker 5: Yeah, are they available just for regular consumers?
Speaker 1: The only person I would trust on us would be you,
Speaker 1: Patsy if you seen a Hanko got one?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, they want one of those? You can get them
Speaker 6: at JB. I'm trying to think of the name, because
Speaker 6: we've got one, the Ninja Ninja slushy. That's what you want?
Speaker 1: You can we buy them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're brilliant, you know what. They were in America
Speaker 6: for so long and we couldn't get them here in
Speaker 6: Australia for ages and everyone was hanging out for.
Speaker 4: These slashies every Australia came out.
Speaker 1: Kind of TV comes to Australia and the ninja slushy.
Speaker 6: Valued about fairly pricey, between four and five hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which you're just slushing up ice. Get a rolling pin.
Speaker 1: That's what I used to do with the kids years ago.
Speaker 1: Get iced to a class and cordial and the smash
Speaker 1: it with a rolling pin. Ye.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's great.
Speaker 6: You can just put the like, no mixing, just put
Speaker 6: the drink in there and it does it.
Speaker 1: All for you. It's cheaper to go to seven eleven.
Speaker 1: How much does one cost? Just get the old man
Speaker 1: won every month or shelting. It'll only come up to
Speaker 1: twenty bucks over a year.
Speaker 7: And there's no way you're using that more than three
Speaker 7: or four times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that gets dumped in the back of the pantry
Speaker 1: at the bottom drawer with all the other stuff that
Speaker 1: you briefly got into, like spiralizers and stuff like that. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into making bread. During COVID, I
Speaker 1: brought a bread making machine and got used once. I've
Speaker 1: made one loaf and it was the most expensive loaf
Speaker 1: of bread ever. So, you know, Monday came in and
Speaker 1: I was raging about NBN. We'd moved our twenty year
Speaker 1: old one year old daughter Ruby into a new place
Speaker 1: and we had a night bear with NBN. It just
Speaker 1: hadn't worked. So she had to yesterday at half seventh morning.
Speaker 1: And if you're a student, seven point thirty am is
Speaker 1: like being woken up at one am to where their
Speaker 1: body clock is. So she had to get up and
Speaker 1: this engineer arrived and she was like, you know, my
Speaker 1: dad tried to do this. And he took one look
Speaker 1: at where the NBM was plugged into the war and
Speaker 1: he goes, it's not specially be plugged in there. That's
Speaker 1: for the TV. And he goes, it's meant to be
Speaker 1: over there, and he pointed to the other side of
Speaker 1: the room. He picked up a lead, put it over
Speaker 1: the other side of the room and he goes that.
Speaker 1: He goes working now thirty seconds and you were very
Speaker 1: upset at the raging. That's apologize to the NBN corporation
Speaker 1: and for the marvelous service that is now working at
Speaker 1: full speed. And she said that this guy was like
Speaker 1: in his late twenties and he looked at her and
Speaker 1: knew she was a student and saw all the books
Speaker 1: out and stuff like that, essays being done and as
Speaker 1: she felt with embossed, and then she just went, yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad was setting that up, and he went he went,
Speaker 1: your dad, yeah right, walks off whoever you were, Thank
Speaker 1: you for stopping a dad being so carelessly thrown under
Speaker 1: the bus like that on the eve of Father's Day.
Speaker 1: But there's nothing worse though, when you called somebody out
Speaker 1: and essentially you're wasting their time, it is. It's humiliating.
Speaker 1: This happens to you this week, didn't it?
Speaker 5: Rio, Yes, what's happened to me?
Speaker 7: I called out, I've had my dishwasher having its bloody
Speaker 7: F seventy eight issue, and so this keeps happening.
Speaker 1: Sounds like an your workout program. I just got into
Speaker 1: the F seventy.
Speaker 7: Eight And so I call this guy out at great expense,
Speaker 7: and then he comes to goes, okay.
Speaker 1: You mean you shouldn't earn a living from repairing the washing.
Speaker 1: She should do it for free for radio hosts.
Speaker 7: Got the horror of it if someone is willing to
Speaker 7: do that. I called him up and he has a
Speaker 7: look at the machine. He goes, look, that doesn't seem
Speaker 7: to be anything wrong with it. I know, no, no, it
Speaker 7: has the F seventy eight issue. Just just put it
Speaker 7: through a cycle. It'll do it. Puts it through the cycle.
Speaker 7: Hees it's working perfectly fine. He's like, it's work, there's
Speaker 7: nothing wrong with that, And I do it again, Do
Speaker 7: it again, do again. I made him try this cycle
Speaker 7: five times. He wouldn't do the error. The one time
Speaker 7: I actually needed to do the error, I wasn't doing it.
Speaker 5: And then he bugers off.
Speaker 7: That's two hundred and fifty dollars for him to look
Speaker 7: at a perfectly good dishwasher, and then as of last
Speaker 7: night it's not working again.
Speaker 1: You well listen. If he's listing now, you can pick
Speaker 1: up another easy two hundred and fifty bucks. He's obviously
Speaker 1: got some Midas touch well, he just his physical presence
Speaker 1: meant it. Do you reckon? He's got some special sort
Speaker 1: of Zappa or remote control in his pockets. What a
Speaker 1: great scam, having to do no work or bending over
Speaker 1: or twisting or anything. All right, are you wasted other
Speaker 1: people's time?
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Right now it is we've been trying to save. Fuck
Speaker 1: it really does need saving as well. There's been a
Speaker 1: breaking new situation last night. I was saying, how earlier
Speaker 1: on this week it was going to be me and
Speaker 1: my daughters. My wife couldn't actually attend Father's Day lunch
Speaker 1: breaking situation yesterday some one of my tearful daughters. So
Speaker 1: I don't want a name, but I'm now down to
Speaker 1: just me and one daughter curse the other one can't
Speaker 1: any who'sy. She sent me a text message about an
Speaker 1: hour later, it's all good, And I said, look, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it's okay, you're growing up now, it's all right.
Speaker 1: And then she sent me a text mess about an
Speaker 1: hour later. He goes, can you promise me you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be sad and cry?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Father, I can't promise you that for that's any day.
Speaker 1: You know, I am a middle aged Taylor Swift, So
Speaker 1: what can I say?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, look, it's it's a it's a rapidly evolving situation.
Speaker 1: Me and her. Father's Day is Tuesday night. Now I'll
Speaker 1: be looking like a divorced dad or something, you know,
Speaker 1: strange dad on a Tuesday night. I bet he was
Speaker 1: at some business conference, sleeping with the secretary or something.
Speaker 1: Look at him over there, just just ticking off. I
Speaker 1: bet he forgot it was Father's Day. Anyway, Let's get
Speaker 1: into the last for the final time, this week as
Speaker 1: we ask you, what does dad want? What a dad wants?
Speaker 1: It is what a dad.
Speaker 5: Wants, what a dad means? Something better? Dad us and
Speaker 5: he gees I'm asking you.
Speaker 1: So Colin and tell me all right before we go
Speaker 1: to the line. She can call in now what does
Speaker 1: your dad want? And also dads have been calling in
Speaker 1: for themselves this week as well. It's all okay, dad,
Speaker 1: we get it. Sometimes you've got to look after yourself.
Speaker 1: A Father's Day or as Paul textan on Monday, Christian's
Speaker 1: to be honest is Father's Hour thirteen fifty five, twenty two. Patsy,
Speaker 1: I know you are super organized. Chris's gift hidden somewhere,
Speaker 1: ready to go for something.
Speaker 6: Well, it is in the boot of mike car. We
Speaker 6: haven't wrapped it.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 6: He's not listening. It is an outdoor requier which he
Speaker 6: will love.
Speaker 1: Or nice bye. That's such a great gat bag and
Speaker 1: everything's very fancy.
Speaker 6: But he had my car for two days earlier in
Speaker 6: this week, so I suspect he's probably already seen.
Speaker 1: Definitely, gosh, he has he has.
Speaker 6: Exactly I guarantee would have in the back of the car.
Speaker 6: When you turn around the corner it was sort of
Speaker 6: bide of the car, so I'm sure he would have stopped.
Speaker 1: Mind you, it was not the first time he's probably
Speaker 1: driven your car. There's strange sort of cranking and banging noises.
Speaker 1: There's another one of your victims trying to get out
Speaker 1: the boot.
Speaker 6: We also got him a couple of jackets and they're
Speaker 6: still in like the shop bag.
Speaker 1: Is that what he's opening up that it's a shot back.
Speaker 1: Don't tear it him. I have to go back. Don't
Speaker 1: tear it case it doesn't fit.
Speaker 5: So we'll see that, know exactly what he's gone, Alex.
Speaker 1: What is it you're after? Actually, because obviously you got
Speaker 1: very young kids, So what that delete? Do you get?
Speaker 1: Like those lovely home written cards and homemade cards? I
Speaker 1: love those one, yeah.
Speaker 8: I do, actually, And I've I've got some really nice
Speaker 8: stuff from the kids because they make it at preschool.
Speaker 1: Why kinder, you might say.
Speaker 8: Down here and Max, he's given me this lovely it's
Speaker 8: like a little fashioned gum nut and it's got a
Speaker 8: little node on it as well, and it's it's painted
Speaker 8: and it's just lovely, one of those little artsy crafty
Speaker 8: things that they make. And he's already given it to me.
Speaker 8: He doesn't quite get the concept. He's only four years after,
Speaker 8: so he just gave it to me. It's like two

Speaker 6: got you know, we could spend it on other stuff.
Speaker 6: And I said, no, this is something you need to do.
Speaker 6: I think there's a tendency for dads to kind of
Speaker 6: put themselves last, like mums, probably even more so for dads.
Speaker 6: They tend to put mums up on a pedestal, treat
Speaker 6: you a bit like a queen, which is lovely, but
Speaker 6: it's like burnt toast syndrome. They don't always put themselves first.
Speaker 6: So Chris, if you're listening, you're going to do these trips.

Speaker 1: like your mums and dance. It's those little it's those
Speaker 1: little sort of fragments like little postcards. Aren't they like
Speaker 1: a little polaroid? It's you remember him blasting a song there?
Speaker 1: What's it for you?
Speaker 8: Alex oh, well, Dad passed away about seven years ago now,
Speaker 8: but he used.
Speaker 1: To love, absolutely love Queen.
Speaker 8: Like it's this big burly farmer who you'd think loved
Speaker 8: country music, public slim dusty, but no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Loved Van Morrison and loved Queen.
Speaker 8: And one song in particular, we were at our cousins
Speaker 8: twenty first and he just took over the jukebox and
Speaker 8: just kept.
Speaker 5: Playing this song over and over, and he could never
Speaker 5: really dance.
Speaker 8: He just kind of moved his big fists in kind
Speaker 8: of jolting motions and it's of course I want to
Speaker 8: break free.
Speaker 1: Great song I Love the Sound of Your Dad Man
Speaker 1: so good, written.
Speaker 8: By Queen bassist John Deacon A nine and eighty three.
Speaker 8: Just an absolute banger, and every time I hear it,
Speaker 8: I just think of Dad.
Speaker 1: So it's a really lovely So thinking about this Sunday, yes,
Speaker 1: I will a lot.
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course I miss him very much, and yeah
Speaker 8: I get emotional talking about it, but yeah I will,
Speaker 8: And I'll probably play that song a couple of.
Speaker 1: Times andree once wherever he is, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Exactly, and I know he'd be hearing it.
Speaker 1: I'd like to think he's hearing it wherever he is,
Speaker 1: so we're thinking of him. What do you think he
Speaker 1: got from your dad? I always have to think about
Speaker 1: what we get from my parents, even if we don't
Speaker 1: realize it. Sometimes it's very easy to mind about your parents.
Speaker 1: You've got a million drop down stories about things they
Speaker 1: didn't do. But you know, sometimes you think about what
Speaker 1: you actually get from your mum and dad. And he
Speaker 1: struck as a really hard working man, your dad when
Speaker 1: you talked about him.
Speaker 8: He was I'd like to think I got his humor
Speaker 8: and the ability to laugh at yourself. Yeah, he was
Speaker 8: very funny man, told many many stories that he embellished
Speaker 8: every time he told them.

Speaker 1: are sending in about these It's amazing that the music

Speaker 1: you start talking about your dad, then suddenly you just
Speaker 1: feel like it opens up a channel to something in
Speaker 1: your heart. Doesn't It just bypasses your brain and you
Speaker 1: think and controlling brain, it goes Strangely, some of these
Speaker 1: messages that we're getting in about songs that reminds you
Speaker 1: of a dad are just so amazing. We'll probably come

Speaker 1: before nine o'clock four seventy five, three one oh four three.
Speaker 1: Right now that I was talking about this earlier on
Speaker 1: Monday show, I came in. I was raging. I was
Speaker 1: fuming NBN. Last Saturday we moved our twenty one you
Speaker 1: old daughter Ruby into a new place and it was
Speaker 1: my job to look after the sort of tech in
Speaker 1: the hardware, and so I set up NBN. It wouldn't work.
Speaker 1: She called the guy. He couldn't get it to work,
Speaker 1: and they couldn't work out what it was. Have you
Speaker 1: turned it on and off? Yes, we've done that, and
Speaker 1: they said we can have to send a guy out
Speaker 1: Thursday morning. A guy came out yesterday morning and he'd
Speaker 1: sorted it out within thirty seconds. I'd put the lead
Speaker 1: into wrong hole in the wall. I was trying to
Speaker 1: get NBN out of the thing where the TV comes out,
Speaker 1: and he just went, as it's over there. The socker
Speaker 1: for it is just over there, moved it to the
Speaker 1: embarrassment accumiation of my daughter the other side of Roomdley
Speaker 1: put it in and the NBN came pouring out. It's
Speaker 1: so yeah, I'll be hearing a lot about that this
Speaker 1: Father's Day, about what a great dad I still am.
Speaker 1: Impact every day, still impact every day. So really the
Speaker 1: theme is wasting people's time. You know that guy to
Speaker 1: come out. It was gone in under sixty seconds. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad it wasn't there. I am so glad it
Speaker 1: wasn't there. My twenty year old George Ruby, you can
Speaker 1: wear that one. She threw me under the bar Saint
Speaker 1: as my dad and the guy went, yeah, right, your dad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't see any dada out there. Rio. You wasted
Speaker 1: the dish usher guy's time this week. I did, I did.
Speaker 7: It was also we've wasted the time of a technician here,
Speaker 7: one of our engineers who has a grudge against the producers. Now,
Speaker 7: when you hear this story, you will understand why. He
Speaker 7: used to work at a station in Darwin that had
Speaker 7: stations all around the Northern Territory. He got a call
Speaker 7: out from a station in Alice Springs that is a
Speaker 7: fifteen hour one way trip, thirty hour return. Wow, he
Speaker 7: asked them. He said, are you sure that it is?
Speaker 7: It is still plugged in? Double triple checks. I'm going
Speaker 7: to go on a fifteen hour trip to check that
Speaker 7: this is working. It is one hundred percent plugged in.
Speaker 5: Do not worry. You can probably see where this is going.
Speaker 5: He drives fifteen hours out, gets.
Speaker 1: Down on his hands the fifteen hours hour, gets there.
Speaker 5: It's not plugged in.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how you come back from that.
Speaker 1: You don't. I don't think you did. Spring did you
Speaker 1: stay that? He's still now on his hands and knees.
Speaker 5: Plugged it back in fifteen hour trip back to Darwin.
Speaker 1: That's insane. You had a good podcast or something podcast
Speaker 1: the whole seasons of it. Could listen to the Buyball,
Speaker 1: just every book ever, the Harry Potter, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: all right, wasting people's time. There's almost like a curse sometimes,
Speaker 1: isn't it. When there's there's a noise with the car
Speaker 1: and you know, and we've all been in that situation
Speaker 1: where no, it's not doing anymore. It's the work. When
Speaker 1: he saying, oh trust me earlier, you're probably going to
Speaker 1: think I'm crazy, and they look at you like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is sounding odd because there's absolutely nothing wrong with this,
Speaker 1: all right, wasting people's time. NBM engineer came out yesterday.
Speaker 1: I put that little lead into the wrong hole in
Speaker 1: the wall. Is the one where the TV comes through.
Speaker 1: There's another hole in the side of the remindent scene. Listen.
Speaker 1: You know I'm not an MBM technician. Mate, Okay, look
Speaker 1: at me with those judgy eyes. Diane's on the line.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Diane, welcome to the show.
Speaker 10: Good morning scene. How are you this morning?
Speaker 14: Friday morning?
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, isn't it, Diane? So you wasted someone's time?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 14: I did, indeed, and I felt like such a goose after,
Speaker 14: as I can tell you, I went out to the
Speaker 14: car to try and start it one morning, was in
Speaker 14: the garage, turned the key, lights were on.
Speaker 10: Nothing happened, not even to tick nothing. So so I
Speaker 10: rang the RACV. You know they give you this little
Speaker 10: tracking app thing. So yes, make his way to me.
Speaker 10: Took him about twenty minutes.
Speaker 14: I reckon comes in, hops in the car, moves it
Speaker 14: from drive to park, starts at.
Speaker 10: And sees there you go.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, come on, Diane, No no. I
Speaker 1: felt like I think I think I might have fixed
Speaker 1: this tricky said it. I'm trained for this.
Speaker 10: I think even see some look, I think he just
Speaker 10: gave me this really disparaging look. Croomies were like shifting
Speaker 10: it from parking the cart and I'm just stop, not
Speaker 10: my head.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear stories and people work for the
Speaker 1: ra c V about what is the percentage of quick
Speaker 1: fixes where it is like one thing and we just
Speaker 1: sort of panic and you just lose that sort of
Speaker 1: foresight to see the situation clearly. Diane, great story, very funny.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing, mate, have a lovely weekend.
Speaker 10: You to thank you.
