Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: It's like twelve year old Chris came out mister bombastak himself.
Speaker 2: It's snaggy, I believe.
Speaker 3: For what you get is watching to.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show Gold one oh four point three.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, it's the Christian O'Connell Show and Gold.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Jack Mate, Good morning, Patsy.
Speaker 5: Oh morning. Here are you going?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I tell you what how I'm going. I know
Speaker 4: you guys are a lot more used to living in
Speaker 4: a hot country than this Englishman. But yesterday that's too
Speaker 4: hot feeding with you guys, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It's unforgiving. I think it's because it's been so long
Speaker 2: since we've had a cool day. Usually chopped some changes
Speaker 2: down here, but yeah, it's just been over thirty, over thirty,
Speaker 2: and yesterday just no fun to be outside.
Speaker 4: No I think. I don't think yesterday was the best
Speaker 4: day for me. I thought I'll fire up the smoker.
Speaker 4: So I was up at six am and even at
Speaker 4: half six firing up that big old smoke monster. What
Speaker 4: a stupid thing to do too, because you have to.
Speaker 4: I sell it to three hundred and twenty five degrees
Speaker 4: celsius and then you have to stand there while it
Speaker 4: heats up for an hour. Right, And it was so hot,
Speaker 4: and it's not that heat where it's it's like coming
Speaker 4: off the ground.
Speaker 2: It's stinging.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then the worst thing about yesterday was so we
Speaker 4: had the old mother in law came over for lunch
Speaker 4: to have this brisket that I smoke. Right, she came
Speaker 4: in the morning on her mobility scooter. And then when
Speaker 4: she was leaving about three o'clock when it was peak heat,
Speaker 4: my wife goes, I run my mum home only five
Speaker 4: minutes in the car. I guess you had to get
Speaker 4: in a mobility scooter. You know what we're saying. How
Speaker 4: you don'd have me out in that heat? Three in
Speaker 4: the afternoon it was I think it has been measured.
Speaker 4: It was forty two degrees at the tennis out on
Speaker 4: Center Court. Well, at least they can move around ically
Speaker 4: trapped in an incredibly smart, slow moving vehicle. Guys getting
Speaker 4: over COVID a couple of times. I thought we were going
Speaker 4: to be sick. It was there was no one out.
Speaker 4: There's no one.
Speaker 2: Around unless you don't get seen.
Speaker 4: Because it's also peer out of a window and then
Speaker 4: sort of do a double take like is he all right?
Speaker 4: Like you, I've a confused old young man like Benjamin Button.
Speaker 4: Why is he a schoolture? It's so what it's going
Speaker 4: and she has it set to the slowest setting, right,
Speaker 4: so it's not I don't know how to speed up to.
Speaker 4: It felt like it was like Lawrence of Arabia. I'm
Speaker 4: forgiving tarmac on the pavement. He's coming up to me
Speaker 4: going this is really cruel and really struggling with this.
Speaker 4: How was it in your house chat? Because Patsy you
Speaker 4: might not know this, but we went round to Jack
Speaker 4: and Bianca's lovely home just before Christmas, right, and well
Speaker 4: you know if you're if you're the people they want around,
Speaker 4: then you'll be around. But anyway, it's a beautiful house
Speaker 4: now they've all done it up on that. But the
Speaker 4: thing that strunck me was it is the coldest house
Speaker 4: in the street. It looks amazing, it's black.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no, you really just understand what
Speaker 4: it's like. You walk down the street and Australian classic home,
Speaker 4: a straining class and whoa hello, goths have moved in.
Speaker 4: So it's tim Bowton Helena bonhom Carter.
Speaker 2: Does look like something out of the very first Tim
Speaker 2: Burton Batman look. And I think it does look cools
Speaker 2: biank his choice to do something different.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 5: Or this is the original color, this is.
Speaker 2: When we were this is the what we painted it
Speaker 2: when we renovated it. So it's been like that for
Speaker 2: three years and it looks great and for seven eight
Speaker 2: months of the year it's fine. In the summer it
Speaker 2: is unrelenting.
Speaker 4: Hell has a house in Australia.
Speaker 2: It absorbs. Those cloudless days are brutal for the house.
Speaker 5: Isn't the aircorn broken down as well?
Speaker 2: The aircon's broken.
Speaker 4: It's just so warm, something from an old prison, like well,
Speaker 4: you'll be careful or you won't go in the hole.
Speaker 4: You'll go in the black house, all those demons in
Speaker 4: you by would I've repainted that overnight the moment this
Speaker 4: summer starts like you need like you know, have different seasons.
Speaker 4: The house needs to go to white in the summer
Speaker 4: and then paint it black during the winter. It's fine.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. When you walk outside, even just to
Speaker 2: take the bins out right yesterday, it's their sun is
Speaker 2: radiating off the weatherboards.
Speaker 4: I'm suppose your wife hasn't demanded in the mid of last.
Speaker 2: Night before tomorrow.
Speaker 4: The choice, and it'd be dry within five.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Talking to Jack just now about this incredible I mean,
Speaker 4: it's been an amazing summer. Kids getting ready to go
Speaker 4: back to school, and tomorrow my house, and it's been
Speaker 4: an amazing summer. It's our fourth summer since we moved him.
Speaker 4: When we were saying, this has just been an epic one.
Speaker 4: We can't remember when it's been rainy or are not
Speaker 4: a really beautiful day, but yesterday was just this crazy
Speaker 4: kind of it, really really relentless heat. And I was
Speaker 4: thinking a about Jack and Bianca, who's only coulor of
Speaker 4: weeks and given birth, and the fact that they live
Speaker 4: in a black house. It's a black painted house. Someone's
Speaker 4: chosen to painted black. It looks very cool. However, it
Speaker 4: can't be cool to live in during a summer in
Speaker 4: a country that's notorious for its very hot summers. And
Speaker 4: obviously that is your wife's choice, because no guy has
Speaker 4: any real choice about the colors in or around the house,
Speaker 4: even in like pots or pants.
Speaker 2: Never and blanks go to I think she's got a
Speaker 2: great eye for that sort of thing anyway, so I'm
Speaker 2: happy to leave it up to her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they don't want that.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, you have resulted on every choice they had.
Speaker 4: The color of the table mats, I don't care. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't even notice what color is you put the plate
Speaker 4: on it. It's like Jimmy that I wasn't even allowed
Speaker 4: to paint the fence of our house the D's colors
Speaker 4: before the Grand Final for three days. That's the only
Speaker 4: time I've ever expressed any kind of need for color.
Speaker 4: I think. Actually, black houses are actually hotter. They generally
Speaker 4: do get there. It must absorb more heat.
Speaker 2: I read that up to fifty percent hotter inside a
Speaker 2: black house because it just the heat hangs in the walls.
Speaker 2: Just in there. I feel like I'll be able to
Speaker 2: get through winter without putting the heating on because it's
Speaker 2: just absorbed that heat and will get me through the year.
Speaker 4: It's like a solar battery of all up from this summer.
Speaker 4: And so, how are you both sleeping?
Speaker 2: We sleep in For the last three nights in a row,
Speaker 2: we've slept in the living room because it's the only
Speaker 2: room in the house that has a working air conditioner.
Speaker 4: So we're on what listen tight one. You know there
Speaker 4: are people called technicians and repair people that can come
Speaker 4: around trimend it.
Speaker 2: Don't even get me started. We called the manufacturer. The
Speaker 2: manufacturer came out, he said, it's the guy who installed
Speaker 2: its fault. The installer came out. He says, it's the
Speaker 2: manufacturer's fault.
Speaker 4: It's a current affair.
Speaker 2: I'm too meek of a person to put my foot
Speaker 2: down and demand that someone doesn't, so I keep I
Speaker 2: need the patsy. I need you to come in and
Speaker 2: kick some butts around the air on world and get
Speaker 2: them to fix.
Speaker 5: This air cut behavior.
Speaker 2: Because we're in the lounge. Bianker is eight months pregnant.
Speaker 2: She's we're on the L shaped Count.
Speaker 4: Said, don't hold man up to us now kicking off
Speaker 4: about it. How that guy came around from the manufacturer.
Speaker 2: The manufacturer is the worst. He's still building desk.
Speaker 4: We're meant to take it on your behalf grown up man.
Speaker 2: We are sleeping on the couch and it's not a
Speaker 2: fold out couch, it's just the L shaped couch. So
Speaker 2: I'm on the long L and Bianker's on the short hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, short al is actually better. I think sure
Speaker 2: long l has the cushion gap in the middle, so
Speaker 2: you hip sinks into the cushion.
Speaker 4: That's horrible. It's like the Princess and the pa. You
Speaker 4: know it's there digging into your well, a part of
Speaker 4: your spine or something. You can't sleep comfortably on that.
Speaker 4: So is that for the next couple of weeks should
Speaker 4: be giving birth on.
Speaker 2: That couch anytime it's hot, because it never gets below
Speaker 2: twenty degrees outside and in the house that's radiating a heat.
Speaker 2: It's like forty five. So we are trying to sleep
Speaker 2: on there. And you're right. Anytime you're not in your
Speaker 2: normal bed, you can tell. So this couch has a
Speaker 2: slight epis slight decline into the back cushion.
Speaker 4: Over the night, the couch monsters calling you into its stomach.
Speaker 4: You'll get trapped there with like old coins, wheel sticks,
Speaker 4: the remote control. We're never seeing about strangers things.
Speaker 2: If I'm not on air one morning, Corbierk, we get
Speaker 2: it to move me out of that linp trap at
Speaker 2: the back of the couch.
Speaker 1: Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for are the emails. Also, you
Speaker 4: can also leave voicemails for the show. Anything we talk
Speaker 4: about on the show, you can pick it up whenever
Speaker 4: you want. We call it late to the party to
Speaker 4: do it late. All right, couple of emails. First of all,
Speaker 4: we're talking this week on the show about your first car,
Speaker 4: your memories of your first car. For our guest on Tuesday,
Speaker 4: Shane Warn talking about his one, Christian. I remember my
Speaker 4: first car very well, at a twenty five year old
Speaker 4: Holden Kingswood wagon. It was blue with a gold roof.
Speaker 4: I had vinyl seats. Yeah, you talk about the heat
Speaker 4: at the moment, Jim. Of those old vinyl seats, you
Speaker 4: would literally have to scrape yourself off like pizza off
Speaker 4: the pizza base during the summer was I didn't have
Speaker 4: air conditioning. The heater wasn't great either. Would struggle to
Speaker 4: clear the windscreen. I think an asthmatic mouse would blow
Speaker 4: more air than this car used to do it. Cold mornings,
Speaker 4: I needed to start at ten or fifteen before I
Speaker 4: needed to leave as an emmanual choke and the car
Speaker 4: needed to warm up. Did you have a manual choke, Paty?
Speaker 4: I did my first grade.
Speaker 5: No, I did not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Christian, my first car was a bright yellow. We
Speaker 4: were talking to there about the abundance of yellow in
Speaker 4: first car's Toyota Corona. Cost me three hundred dollars and
Speaker 4: I brought it from my brother's girlfriend at the time.
Speaker 4: It was an absolute crap box. When I bought it
Speaker 4: had done hundred and fifty thousand k It was so
Speaker 4: bad that I was driving home down Reynolds Road in Doncaster,
Speaker 4: which is a really hilly air. I had to just
Speaker 4: gun it going down the hill in order for it
Speaker 4: to make it up to the other side. One day,
Speaker 4: doing this death Valley run, I was pulled over half
Speaker 4: while out the hill for the cops speeding. As I
Speaker 4: jumped out of the car, the dashboard started smoking and
Speaker 4: then slowly, very slowly catching fire. It's not the first
Speaker 4: tip happened. It was some sort of electrical fought in
Speaker 4: the dash that I had had to fix. Some standing
Speaker 4: there nervously hoping the cop wouldn't notice what was going
Speaker 4: on inside the car whilst I was trying to explain
Speaker 4: why I had to speed otherwise I wouldn't get up
Speaker 4: to the top of the hill. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: the dashboard finally erupted into fames. It was the end
Speaker 4: of the canary. The cops more or less arrested it.
Speaker 4: They empowdered it as.
Speaker 2: Unroaded the rest of the car.
Speaker 4: This car is under the rest. You know, you're right,
Speaker 4: you don't have to say anything. Let's got to lease
Speaker 4: voice smails. Then, first of all, talking about first cars,
Speaker 4: we have.
Speaker 7: Trish Hi Christian Letricia from glen Wib. I just had
Speaker 7: to let you know about march car. It was a
Speaker 7: Toyota Corona hard top, navy blue with white leather interior.
Speaker 7: The main feature of the car was I had sheep
Speaker 7: skins on both front seats. Bought it for around thirty
Speaker 7: two hundred dollars. I think the third paid for it,
Speaker 7: and we saw it for thirty four one hundred dollars,
Speaker 7: so it actually appreciated rather than depreciate like most cars do.
Speaker 7: So yeah, well, thank you, here you back.
Speaker 4: Bye, Thank you very much. Yeah. Do you remember you
Speaker 4: still see the occasional car when someone's got those sheepskin
Speaker 4: sort of the worst ones are the old people of
Speaker 4: those beads on. You sometimes get an uber he's got
Speaker 4: those beads and those back beads that they have and
Speaker 4: stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I don't like, is that actually comfortable. I always thought
Speaker 2: wouldn't they get uncomfortable after a while, especially driving long
Speaker 2: hours on uber.
Speaker 4: See that anyway, you don't see you on massage tables
Speaker 4: and chiropracive. Is that good for your back? This message
Speaker 4: is this voicemaip is from Big pat.
Speaker 6: Morning Christian and came, Yes, it's big Pad for the
Speaker 6: Big Toe Club. Yes, my car was a sixty three
Speaker 6: sixty four h station wagon which to call it the
Speaker 6: shag and wagon, said the curtains at the back, the
Speaker 6: big home wheels fifty holly carve you reader all the
Speaker 6: go gets an oh lo. I just loved it. I
Speaker 6: wish I had it to this day, and I've been
Speaker 6: worth a fortune now have a great day.
Speaker 4: Worth a fortune.
Speaker 2: Would it be.
Speaker 6: Car?
Speaker 4: Anytime I see a van or with curtains right even
Speaker 4: now as an adult, I jogged past it, going to
Speaker 4: get me in the back of that. They're going to
Speaker 4: get me the back anytime you see them with the curtains.
Speaker 4: It's Terri.
Speaker 1: Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 4: One of the things I'd never seen before in my
Speaker 4: life until I moved here to Australia. Driving with no
Speaker 4: shoes on Patsy, Where do you stand on this, your
Speaker 4: shoe is driving.
Speaker 8: Oh, I have done it before in my younger years,
Speaker 8: even in a manual, which you know I took a
Speaker 8: bit of coordination. Would I do it now? Definitely not. No,
Speaker 8: I think it's a bit bogan VILLAA and it might wreck.
Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know who were going to go that way. Also,
Speaker 4: I love the way that my wife does to Sometimes
Speaker 4: I ask a question, I just want yes or no.
Speaker 4: Ago would I would? I let me engineering themselves.
Speaker 2: I'll give you the history of my drives, breaking.
Speaker 4: It down by car type and non semantic. Would I
Speaker 4: do that now?
Speaker 2: I'm a bunder villa. I'm a big fan of driving
Speaker 2: with no shoes. I actually feel like you get a
Speaker 2: better contact on the pedal because you're raw to it,
Speaker 2: and you've got a better you've got more feeling to it. Yes,
Speaker 2: because with a shoe.
Speaker 4: On you, any we're out in their car into a rival,
Speaker 4: some because they couldn't get any kind of feel or contact.
Speaker 4: We've been driving for decades with shoes.
Speaker 2: On shop I don't know. With shoes you can't feel
Speaker 2: where your feet are.
Speaker 4: I've never been confused, never never been in a car accident.
Speaker 4: Luckily and always had shoes on. I know where my
Speaker 4: feet aren't, Jack.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a layer of rubber that's stopping you
Speaker 2: from really knowing where the pedals are underfoot.
Speaker 4: But if that was just said, whether there's lack of
Speaker 4: contact with these little pedals, how the hell would you
Speaker 4: walk down the street or just walk around your normal life.
Speaker 4: I don't even know where my feet are right now.
Speaker 2: I just don't like the argument that it's more dangerous
Speaker 2: to drive without shoes. I can't see how that's possible.
Speaker 4: On the show, he's a big fan as well. Are
Speaker 4: driving out those shoes?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think maybe what Jack's trying to articulate is
Speaker 9: you can use your toes to kind of grip around
Speaker 9: the pedal and the brake pedal and.
Speaker 4: Use footsy or something down there.
Speaker 2: Right, it's a lot more sensitive.
Speaker 4: If you're doing it's like a cat'll pluck it all
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: You are, you're more nimble, you have more control exactly, so.
Speaker 4: You're on the keyboard like Stevie Wonder more fee.
Speaker 2: I will sometimes get in the car, take my shoes
Speaker 2: and socks off drive, then put my shoes and socks
Speaker 2: back on to get out of the car.
Speaker 5: Oh no, that's too much ef.
Speaker 4: I'm also right, so is it it? Is it legal
Speaker 4: or illegal?
Speaker 2: I've heard it's illegal. I think that's a myths. That
Speaker 2: has to be a myth.
Speaker 4: There must be they might, there will be rulings. There
Speaker 4: are all states the same in Australia. Is it illegal or illegal?
Speaker 10: Mean?
Speaker 4: Can you take your test shoeless? Oh?
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't think so.
Speaker 4: There then then there they go. That's the Oh no,
Speaker 4: certainly that's a bit wild man from the pommy. But
Speaker 4: you're like doing it day to day once I'm driving. No,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it for the test. No, because it's
Speaker 4: a test.
Speaker 2: If I was an instructor and someone came with no shoes,
Speaker 2: I'd be more worried about their judgment in general, and
Speaker 2: the kind of judgments that would translate.
Speaker 4: To you just said, shoes are fine. Contact that person
Speaker 4: has get away your back on to actually speak for
Speaker 4: you today, that person. Do you see the way he
Speaker 4: went for you as well? This is what the young
Speaker 4: mens do. Jerk, he's trying to articulate there. Maybe we
Speaker 4: hardists speak today and then when he's off on paternity leave,
Speaker 4: you won't get back in the door but the articulator on.
Speaker 2: Rio and tell them what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 9: Well, I've just quickly looked it up. So it's not
Speaker 9: technically illegal to drive barefoot, but the police.
Speaker 2: Can't say it's not technically brown upon it.
Speaker 4: Technically you're not allowed to kill someone. However they are irritating.
Speaker 9: But a policeman can still find you if they believe
Speaker 9: you are not in full control of your vehicle. So
Speaker 9: if they think maybe your shoes or your shoeless.
Speaker 4: Having some sort of tone massage, dexterity of what I'm
Speaker 4: trying to say, let me call.
Speaker 2: I would say if you had extremely sweaty feet, maybe
Speaker 2: if you've been in the beach or something, you could
Speaker 2: be a bit slippery on the pedals and that would
Speaker 2: be dangerous.
Speaker 5: Don't undergo a sweat test, though.
Speaker 4: Worry would be this you ever cleared out the car mats.
Speaker 4: Sometimes there's small sort of sediment or small pebbles around there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but not enough to graze the thing.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you this, you're moving that old barefoot
Speaker 4: around and stuff like that wide you're driving because obviously
Speaker 4: foot on the accelerator that the one sometimes has a
Speaker 4: bit of passivity is what I'm trying to say here,
Speaker 4: suddenly get that that gets a small bit of sediment
Speaker 4: or rock on you go to that's me slamming on
Speaker 4: the brake. Okay, you've gotta slam the brake. But because
Speaker 4: it's got a little bit of pebble in it on
Speaker 4: the hill there, the moment you put contact with a pedal,
Speaker 4: instinctively you're going to go ah, you're going to move
Speaker 4: away from it. That break isn't getting depressed?
Speaker 2: How big are the pebbles in rocks? No, it means
Speaker 2: it sounds like there's broken glass in your foot.
Speaker 4: Well everything in there, mate, you know, it's like a
Speaker 4: floor of cinema.
Speaker 2: Just don't be a popcorn out when you're finished with it.
Speaker 4: Basically, what my kids do? They drink my car like
Speaker 4: the floor of a cinema. All right, give us a call.
Speaker 4: I think we need a bit more than technically it's
Speaker 4: not legal legal, Can someone actually tell us what's called
Speaker 4: commonly the law on this? And can you take a
Speaker 4: drive into shoeless This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: We're talking right now about driving with or without shoes.
Speaker 4: I uh, it's not necessarily do with or without shoes.
Speaker 4: But I remember a couple of weeks ago having to
Speaker 4: go at my seventeen year old daughter, who's eighteen this summer,
Speaker 4: so can take contest. She's running up her hours and
Speaker 4: she left the house in a pair of hug boots,
Speaker 4: and I was like, no, you can't even walk around
Speaker 4: the house in those, right. You don't even pick your
Speaker 4: feet up. You're shoffing around like an eskimo going to
Speaker 4: get some fish. We're not getting in the car in
Speaker 4: your rug boots too.
Speaker 2: You'll press both pedals. Forget it.
Speaker 4: We're not making it round the corner. Your plowers into something.
Speaker 4: But I'm not a fan of driving without shoes. Jack
Speaker 4: Apsity loves it. Patsy, you're not a fan either. I am.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4: And so we don't know the moment REO produce the
Speaker 4: real things. Technically it's not illegal, but we don't one
Speaker 4: hundred percent know that. Is that correct?
Speaker 2: I think either way, I refute that it's more dangerous
Speaker 2: to go without shoes. I think it's safer to go
Speaker 2: without shoes because you've got more acuity on the pedal.
Speaker 4: I do understand that now I know me, you get
Speaker 4: more feedback, right because it's just your.
Speaker 2: Skin on skin, skin to rubber.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know now, I get what it is, all right,
Speaker 4: we get it. Patsy, he's one of those. Yeah, once
Speaker 4: a quick gold thrill at Corbos five. I'm not judging.
Speaker 4: I'm not just that's where it takes. I go the
Speaker 4: herbal te option. You want to skin on rubber? Gary?
Speaker 10: Good morning, Good morning Christian Gary.
Speaker 4: What what do you do You like driving without shoes?
Speaker 4: What's to do with you? Mate?
Speaker 11: I'd like to, but it's illegal. As you get caught,
Speaker 11: you will pay the difference.
Speaker 4: I did not.
Speaker 11: You're not alladd thongs. If you've got sandals from the
Speaker 11: strap around the back, that take cake because your shoes
Speaker 11: are secured to your feet.
Speaker 4: Got it.
Speaker 11: It's just the law. And I've been driving for forty
Speaker 11: eight years, so the law has been the same for
Speaker 11: a long time. Although we know how to flout the law.
Speaker 11: That it's there for your own benefit. You wear footwear.
Speaker 10: I have size fourteen feet.
Speaker 11: I have trouble sometimes post so you've got to be
Speaker 11: great taful. It is for your own health and safety
Speaker 11: that you do where footwear, that the security of feet,
Speaker 11: songs can come off and get stuck under your pebbles,
Speaker 11: and then where do you go exactly?
Speaker 2: I do hate driving in thongs. They don't feel safe.
Speaker 2: But Gary, do you say that driving in bare feet
Speaker 2: is danger?
Speaker 4: Were in flaunting the law?
Speaker 3: Said?
Speaker 2: But is it just one of those laws that they
Speaker 2: don't really check up on.
Speaker 4: Well, they got a short those we don't really care
Speaker 4: that much about. Yes, one of those. Yeah, let them go,
Speaker 4: Let them go, all right, Gary, Uh, we're going somewhere
Speaker 4: we don't really need to go about various Elaine good on?
Speaker 2: What was that sandal strap?
Speaker 4: Again? Elaine? Sorry Elaine? Driving with or without?
Speaker 3: Shoes without? Always without? And Gary, I hate to tell
Speaker 3: you this. It may be the law, but not according
Speaker 3: to the Burley senior sergeant who sat in the car
Speaker 3: for my driving test something years ago. I learned in
Speaker 3: bare feet. I went for my life and Tim bearfeet
Speaker 3: got married. I took my mother's advice on that I
Speaker 3: didn't get married. The only point I will agree on
Speaker 3: is that it is foolish and foolhardy to drive in
Speaker 3: the songs that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is bare feet.
Speaker 4: No, so do you say the local police detective did
Speaker 4: you drive in test?
Speaker 3: I had a burly singing sergeant sitting in the back
Speaker 3: while I went for.
Speaker 1: My test, right, gotcha?
Speaker 4: All right, Eline, thank you very much for the detail.
Speaker 7: No dramas.
Speaker 12: Play nice.
Speaker 4: Looking on rubber.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian Know Carl's Show podcast.

Speaker 4: to remember off the top of that. It was called
Speaker 4: It's called Shane and it's great. It's an hour and
Speaker 4: a half. It is really really good. Anyway, in the
Speaker 4: chante on Tuesday, he was I was sending you in
Speaker 4: the documentary you see his it's awesome kids who aren't
Speaker 4: in there in the mid twenties. Now they're all on
Speaker 4: this couch and it looks like they're in some sort
Speaker 4: of man cave. And I asked, Shane, was that his
Speaker 4: man cave? And it was? And what you notice are
Speaker 4: there are all these arcade games. I mean like, I
Speaker 4: don't mean like one or two. It looked like there
Speaker 4: were at least ten of them. And I guess right,
Speaker 4: having this warning talking about his great man cave.
Speaker 13: I've got a man cave. I've got the Old Space
Speaker 13: Invaders machine, which I think's got one hundred and something
Speaker 13: different games like a La Glaxicon pac Man.
Speaker 4: Also, I've got one of them. And then I've got
Speaker 4: Lethal Weapon, Pinball, I've got Ninja Turtles, I've got a
Speaker 4: poker table, I've got a billiard table and all that
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 14: So we have a bit of fun up here.
Speaker 4: As I said to him on Tuesday, it's like an RS.
Speaker 4: I mean there's a man cave, and then that is
Speaker 4: that's that's something else that is extreme. Jack and I
Speaker 4: don't have a man cave. I mean you kind of
Speaker 4: had one, and now you've had to be exiled because
Speaker 4: the baby's coming. That's right.
Speaker 2: I had the guitars on the wall and I was
Speaker 2: making it my own space. I would close the door
Speaker 2: behind me and it felt like I was in a
Speaker 2: man cave. And now it's all shipped out down to
Speaker 2: the back. I'm centrally in a laundry.
Speaker 4: Now, oh no, that's not a man cave going. I've
Speaker 4: got a man laundry so I can easy keep any
Speaker 4: on the Spence cycles and play pac Man.
Speaker 2: Do not enter, unless of course, you have to do
Speaker 2: a load.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I used to in my old house. Thing I
Speaker 4: had a man cave came here and I now share
Speaker 4: this study with my wife, and it's not a man
Speaker 4: cave if you're sharing the space, and that is I
Speaker 4: need a man cave here and Warny talk about it.
Speaker 4: It made me actually jealous because I know there are
Speaker 4: a lot of people who will be listening to this
Speaker 4: who have a great man cave. I remember a couple
Speaker 4: of years go in the UK, the equivalent of foxtail
Speaker 4: is by the same person. I think the whole world
Speaker 4: is owned by Old Rupert, isn't it, and called Sky
Speaker 4: And if you work in the media, you got free
Speaker 4: foxtail right. The guy coming around to install it, he
Speaker 4: worked on what was called the VIP team. So I'm
Speaker 4: chatting to him, going, oh, wow, what job to Whose
Speaker 4: place have you been to? He goes, well, for the
Speaker 4: last three days we've been doing this big installation at
Speaker 4: Robbie Williams place. Yeah, that's what I said. Has he
Speaker 4: got some huge job place? He goes, Oh, I shouldn't
Speaker 4: really be telling you this, but he has something that's
Speaker 4: bigger than a man cave. And what do you mean?
Speaker 4: He goes, I'm not joking. Actually, he's got signs everywhere
Speaker 4: you leave his actual main house. You walk across the
Speaker 4: pathway and it's a key code to get in. There's
Speaker 4: a giant painted sign that he had commissioned by someone
Speaker 4: like Banks or somef that says Manland. And he said,
Speaker 4: it's like a giant mega barn, like a small village.
Speaker 4: And it's got it's got, it has got. Also, I
Speaker 4: don't know what is about rich people got too much money.
Speaker 4: It has got arcade games, pool tables. It had a
Speaker 4: bowling alley, an entire work in bowling alley as well.
Speaker 4: But it's called Manland.
Speaker 2: Robbie Williams is essentially Richie rich.
Speaker 4: But it's a bit like that, all right. So this morning,
Speaker 4: mate Jack and I jealous perhats. He just cussed to
Speaker 4: where we love God a man cave.
Speaker 8: Oh he sort of shifted himself out to the garage
Speaker 8: to get out of my hair now and again. But
Speaker 8: you know what he has got in there is our
Speaker 8: old recliner chair that.
Speaker 4: In the garage, his facing the wall by the freezer
Speaker 4: or some of the old pink pots, my extension courses recliner.
Speaker 4: And that's something quite sad about that. Got to dine.
Speaker 2: It's like what a cat would do.
Speaker 8: It's on my side too, so I've got to park
Speaker 8: my car out on the drive.
Speaker 5: But he'll occasionally in.
Speaker 4: That old rocking chairs facing a carriage. Well what did
Speaker 4: he do? Those mac is easy? So he was looking
Speaker 4: at my period, Chris, Why is this garage locked? It
Speaker 4: never even had a lot. Don't go in anyway. What
Speaker 4: I was saying is Jack and jealous if you have
Speaker 4: a man cave. So there's corns up this morning. If
Speaker 4: you have a man cave, does your moment boast about
Speaker 4: it make Jack and I jealous? Toe us all about
Speaker 4: your man cave?
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Jack, what do we think makes up the ideal man cave?
Speaker 4: You need a fridge with booze in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bar, if you could bar is.
Speaker 4: A bar is the luxury. I think just having your
Speaker 4: own bar that you and your mates can come round.
Speaker 2: I picture of those American movies where they all have
Speaker 2: enormous houses and they just push open a door and
Speaker 2: they've got a full bar, neon lights on the water,
Speaker 2: sports screens all.
Speaker 4: Around the screens. Yeah, you need a big TV in there,
Speaker 4: I think as well. I think you need some memory
Speaker 4: Billia to do with your footy team as well. I
Speaker 4: think there needs to be some kind of ideally a
Speaker 4: pool table or a dartboard. Yep. Also the chairs. The
Speaker 4: chairs have got to be comfortable, right, The chairs have
Speaker 4: got to be comfortable. I need a couple of chairs,
Speaker 4: not just one facing a garish wall or that Krista
Speaker 4: wherever love God has been allowed to have Petea and
Speaker 4: the like and morning Pete, Morning Christian Pete. What have
Speaker 4: you got in your main cave?
Speaker 14: I'll bet everything you just mentioned. I've got sakes. I've
Speaker 14: got a nice little leather cats that we sit on
Speaker 14: the name the dog. Watched a lot of Tobo from there.
Speaker 14: We've got pool table, dart board. I've got a beer
Speaker 14: fridge of course with all my geelong stuff all over,
Speaker 14: and I've got a lot.
Speaker 4: Of I've just seen a photo of your one, Pete, right,
Speaker 4: that is a huge fridge.
Speaker 14: Yeah, of course it's a big so probably it's.
Speaker 4: A double stat one, you know, with the freezer on top. Yeah.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a shame.

Speaker 4: A few years.
Speaker 2: Hey, what's your prize possession in your men.
Speaker 4: Looking mind that he's also got some industrial hoover. What's
Speaker 4: to do with the industrial hoover under the pool table?
Speaker 14: C things up you're going to.
Speaker 4: It's like one of those ones there in big buildings,
Speaker 4: like old Henry the hoover that Dexter had one of those.
Speaker 14: Along the along the back wall up the top. You
Speaker 14: can say that there's a whole about fifteen of the
Speaker 14: very best estes in all the way fields and that,
Speaker 14: and that's a great talking point. Blakes come in and
Speaker 14: we go pick who always are. Yeah, there's Palais up there,
Speaker 14: and yeah, there's there's a lot.
Speaker 4: Of talking points on the wall. Men fish silence, right,

Speaker 4: the door shuts. You know, Jesus what we're going to
Speaker 4: talk about. Oh I thank god he's up there.
Speaker 2: If in doubt the point to the wall people gives
Speaker 2: you a guarded to her zonar butt.
Speaker 4: I don't know much about it. Let's come up quite
Speaker 4: a few years.
Speaker 14: I like him doing a guard too, because there's football
Speaker 14: jumpers of Premiership us. That's what we used to do
Speaker 14: in the days. You want a grand final in Aussie rules.
Speaker 14: You mount your jumper and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now tell me about this, Pete. Is this attached
Speaker 4: to the house or is this like a shed in
Speaker 4: the garden or something.
Speaker 14: No, because I'm in a town, I didn't have a
Speaker 14: room for a big shed, so I've got a garage
Speaker 14: that was my garage and the roller doors still there.
Speaker 14: You think it's still a garage, but you come around
Speaker 14: the back and the double doors opened up and there
Speaker 14: it is.
Speaker 4: That what this is like MTV cribs but on radio.
Speaker 4: This is where the magic happens. Helps Pete. I love it, honestly.
Speaker 4: It's a great man cave of jealous I think it
Speaker 4: looks fantastic, mate, it looks a cool place to hang out.
Speaker 4: All right, Pete, We let you go. Thanks you call matey.
Speaker 14: Yeah, there is a picture of me on there as well,
Speaker 14: holding twenty five thousand dollars. But I won on deal
Speaker 14: or no deal.
Speaker 4: Wow wee.
Speaker 14: That's a lot of cash and some of that went
Speaker 14: to the main cave.
Speaker 4: So five k on that big old hoovers cheap either
Speaker 4: that photos got it all right, Pete, We thank you
Speaker 4: very much for giving us a call. Okay, can you
Speaker 4: do a maybe a shorter, shorter around every square inch.
Speaker 4: I reckon, if Jack and I do a test, now
Speaker 4: ten questions, and what is in Pete Wilson's man cave?
Speaker 4: I reckon, We're good to eight or nine of those.
Speaker 2: Seriously, maybe just tell us the best thing in your
Speaker 2: man cove.
Speaker 4: Picture or three highlights right, just picture the Christian Connell
Speaker 4: Show podcast. Tell you what your old black painted house
Speaker 4: is going to fit in or this whether they are Jack, isn't.
Speaker 2: It it'll be invisible at the moment.
Speaker 4: Wow, he's a bit sketchy out there today coming out. John,
Speaker 4: next half an hour on the show. Then we were
Speaker 4: talking the other day about your first cars, and then
Speaker 4: they got a photo from one of you of your
Speaker 4: older brother very proudly sat in the nineteen eighties four
Speaker 4: COURTEENA with a really crumpled front end. Because you're just
Speaker 4: driven into a cemetery wall, so I thought, John, the
Speaker 4: next half an hour of the show, we want to
Speaker 4: know you drove into? What what did you drive into?
Speaker 4: An old friend of mine works for a very big
Speaker 4: insurance company and on these multinational ones, and once a
Speaker 4: year they collect all the strange things that people are
Speaker 4: put down on their insurance claims forms because you have
Speaker 4: to put down a lot of detail. And I guess
Speaker 4: you know if you ever read anyone's descriptions on market
Speaker 4: at Facebook Marketplace, we used to have a game with this.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't really edit what they've said, and so
Speaker 4: they'd collect them the weird things that people put down
Speaker 4: insurance claims, and internally a top ten is sent around
Speaker 4: that's not meant to obviously be widely distributed anyway. He
Speaker 4: sent it to me because I'm the other side of
Speaker 4: the world. This is amazing. These are real life insurance
Speaker 4: claims from last year. The car in front hit the pedestrian,
Speaker 4: but he got up, so I hit him again. The
Speaker 4: pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him. These
Speaker 4: are all real life insurance. Yeah, the accident was caused
Speaker 4: by me waving to the man I hit. Last week.
Speaker 4: I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as
Speaker 4: he bounced off the roof of my car. Oh, I'm
Speaker 4: sure it was all right. I told the police that
Speaker 4: I was not injured, but on removing my hat, found
Speaker 4: that I had in fact fractured my skull. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: windscreen broken cause unknown, probably voodoo if anything. If you
Speaker 4: ever needed blame anything. I'm sure it's just blame voodoo.
Speaker 4: I had been shopping for plants all day and was
Speaker 4: on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a
Speaker 4: hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not
Speaker 4: see the other car all right coming up next. Then
Speaker 4: you drove into what.
Speaker 1: Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 4: Good Morning Christian. This comes from Jody. Good morning Jody, Christian.
Speaker 4: My dad Mike smashed his car into the old Mortielic
Speaker 4: police station all the places he used to be on
Speaker 4: the main roundabout in the pe in a highway. Somehow
Speaker 4: he hid it and smashed and brought down the entire
Speaker 4: brick fence as well. That is unfortunate, awkward, And I
Speaker 4: was just dropping in, Patsy. Have you driven into anything?
Speaker 8: I hate to admit I did once just tap the
Speaker 8: love God. We were dating. I was in his tarana
Speaker 8: and he wanted me to I had to move it
Speaker 8: at my parents' house, had to move it. Were going
Speaker 8: out and he was trying to direct me and I
Speaker 8: sort of just nudged his knee just for a joke.
Speaker 5: But it was.
Speaker 4: Jokes, jacket. How many times have we just nudged a
Speaker 4: knee caut car. Oh my god. We were laughing, and
Speaker 4: I nudged his skull because I love skull lolls.
Speaker 8: And it wasn't until he sort of banged on the
Speaker 8: bonnet that are all okay, I'll just put that in
Speaker 8: reverse on the gear ship.
Speaker 4: So just so we're clear, hit you reversed into for
Speaker 4: a joke.
Speaker 5: Well no, well I just no, not for a joke.
Speaker 5: I just thought, oh, that's a bit close.
Speaker 2: So that's all right.
Speaker 4: Sure, that's what she said, isn't it.
Speaker 2: You had to be there, Christian. It's very funny in
Speaker 2: the moment.
Speaker 4: It was fun at a different time. It was a
Speaker 4: different time in the eighties. You know, you could run
Speaker 4: people over and they would just get up and laugh.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Lifeless Bruce. Good morning.
Speaker 13: How you going team?
Speaker 4: We're good, Bruce. I hope you're well. Fancy call on
Speaker 4: the show. So what did you drive into?
Speaker 13: Well, it wasn't me, It was my door. I was
Speaker 13: teaching her to drive, and I know, Christian, you understand
Speaker 13: what it's how stress it is for teaching to drive.
Speaker 4: So what did she drive? Were you the supervisor?
Speaker 13: I was a supervisor watch I was not responsible for
Speaker 13: supervising her. She took She took drive through at Macca's
Speaker 13: very seriously.
Speaker 4: And literally literally what part of me did she hit?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Well, they were in the drive through. She drove into
Speaker 13: the wall, through the wall, put a great big hole
Speaker 13: in the side of the wall at Macca's.
Speaker 2: How quick are you going, cartoon.
Speaker 4: Road runner? I mean you meant to just sort of nudge,
Speaker 4: you know, nudge the car around there for way to
Speaker 4: get it through a hole. How hungry were you?
Speaker 13: I don't know. She was driving all over the road
Speaker 13: and then all of a sudden she hit mark three
Speaker 13: and then straight into the wall.
Speaker 4: Wow. It's a test, I know for any driver. If
Speaker 4: you go through any drive through, you do see quite
Speaker 4: a few dings and stuff like that where you know,
Speaker 4: people like this speaker. Sometimes it's like an angle where
Speaker 4: someone's obviously walloped it over the weekend, you know, some
Speaker 4: reved up tray or something. There are a lot there
Speaker 4: are a lot of dings on those drive throughs. Bruce,
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Cool.
Speaker 2: It is an important thing to learn, though. Have you
Speaker 2: taken your daughter through the drive through yet? Christian?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you remember we had it on the show last year?
Speaker 4: It was one of the first lessons I took her on.
Speaker 4: Now I'll tell you what, she's a better driver for it,
Speaker 4: because you've got to go around that little horseshoe and
Speaker 4: you got it. It's a tight to get into it.
Speaker 4: The one we go to in Sint Kilda. It's a
Speaker 4: tight little you've got to be there. Trust me. You
Speaker 4: know you don't want to know someone's need there for
Speaker 4: a laugh. It's a tight thing to get into. She's
Speaker 4: They should have it as part of their test, you know, honestly,
Speaker 4: you know, you know you've got to do the parallel parking.
Speaker 4: But I think it should be the Maca's drive through,
Speaker 4: the ultimate test for how could you are as a driver? Amanda?
Speaker 4: What did you drive into good morning?
Speaker 10: In the eighties.
Speaker 15: I was at Duntrue as staff and we drove through
Speaker 15: the back gate, straight through the storage warehouse for the
Speaker 15: war Memorial through to Havelin nine used to be three
Speaker 15: now there's two, and we were stopped by a Russian
Speaker 15: tank which we managed to didn't boy the old Kingswood.
Speaker 2: I'm having trouble. Piece of all light together, Amanda.
Speaker 4: So what were you want to run from the law?
Speaker 4: I mean you drove through a fence and then run
Speaker 4: into a tank. Is this down when Luise you were reconstructing.
Speaker 15: My mate Rowan hadn't long had his license and he
Speaker 15: was driving a automatic Kingswood and when he came up
Speaker 15: over the guttha, he went oh shit and put his
Speaker 15: foot fair on the accelerator instead of the break and
Speaker 15: he went missed the huge pine trees, went between two
Speaker 15: huge pine trees, straight through the wall the warehouse, through
Speaker 15: the have them and nine they were restoring. He's been
Speaker 15: through in the world. We demolished it for there's now
Speaker 15: too and the Russian tank.
Speaker 4: That was there. But those big old tanks, they're pretty
Speaker 4: strong things. They're not going to be demolished by Kingswood.
Speaker 15: Does it have the nine?
Speaker 4: We haven't tested it for the would.
Speaker 15: The tank was still, but the plane wasn't.
Speaker 4: Yes, the old to.
Speaker 10: The poor batter who.
Speaker 15: Was restoring it had put three thousand hours into it,
Speaker 15: and he stood there and just burst into tears when
Speaker 15: it saw.
Speaker 4: Tanks, because that didn't happen that Brad Pitt movie fury.
Speaker 4: They just splinters. Amanda, Thank you very much. You're cool.
Speaker 4: Do you know what I think it is today affecting
Speaker 4: the show? This stormy weather. It's playing with the listeners
Speaker 4: frequency in their heads. I'll ask you again, what have
Speaker 4: you driven into? Nine four one, O four three? Perhaps
Speaker 4: you're responsible for those courses, the moment you had you
Speaker 4: run over your husband for a laugh.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian o'connells show podcast.
Speaker 4: What did you drive into? Let's go to Craig.
Speaker 10: Good morning, Craig, Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 1: Here you going, Oh.
Speaker 4: Good buddy, and I hope you're right. So, Craig, what
Speaker 4: did you drive into?
Speaker 10: We drive into Michael Schumacher's F one Formula car at
Speaker 10: the Grand Prix.
Speaker 4: It's azing true story. So those cars are worth, like
Speaker 4: you know, literally hundreds of millions.
Speaker 10: Yes they are, but we're in a golf cart and
Speaker 10: we're working niceift, can I say in uniform? And we
Speaker 10: backed up. We thought let's get a let's get a
Speaker 10: photo of the car bangs.
Speaker 4: We saw a guard in the cars from people like
Speaker 4: you don't have a look see around. You could be
Speaker 4: for a rival team or something. A quick look at
Speaker 4: loosen that bolt.
Speaker 10: Were back into it and I'll tell you now you
Speaker 10: call it a hit run, but we weren't going to
Speaker 10: hang around. We were off in that golf car.
Speaker 2: Also, I thought they would park him somewhere safer. Makes
Speaker 2: it sound like he's just safe.
Speaker 4: Australian Security cards.
Speaker 2: On the show many times.
Speaker 4: Many times we.
Speaker 10: Had a blue uniform and lady said that.
Speaker 4: But I'm up there now, And did you get some
Speaker 4: good photos of Shoemaker's car.
Speaker 10: We've got a quick photo. But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 10: We weren't going to hang around. We just we just
Speaker 10: talk over that golf cart to you know, five kilometers prayer.
Speaker 10: But we just left it and we don't know whether
Speaker 10: we did any damage because we weren't going to stick around.
Speaker 4: All right, great, thank you very much, she called me. No,
Speaker 4: it's Christian, thank you, Karening, good morning. I'm good. And
Speaker 4: what did you drive into.
Speaker 12: A police car?
Speaker 4: Oh? Is a nightmare? So what happened? Tell us everything?
Speaker 12: Okay, I just got my license. It was back in
Speaker 12: the day, a hold.
Speaker 16: In Trana Sunbird. It was just six yeliner.
Speaker 12: I was happily going home from work and I didn't
Speaker 12: stop very well on to a bird and I hit
Speaker 12: the ployee came in front of me. Anyway, I talked
Speaker 12: over to the side of the ride. I had a
Speaker 12: bit of a can I little milkdown as you do
Speaker 12: when you're young, throw and the consulted me so much
Speaker 12: I went out within the sixth month.
Speaker 4: This is this is amazing. This is there's so many
Speaker 4: layers of this. Right. First of all, I've always wondered
Speaker 4: about women's ability to do this. Be honest with me, like,
Speaker 4: can I did you start crying on purpose?
Speaker 12: To be honest with you. I was pretty scared because
Speaker 12: when he got out to carry was about six foot
Speaker 12: six and I'm fire foot three, and he's just really mad.
Speaker 4: You're just driven into please call the police business. I
Speaker 4: shunted around.
Speaker 2: What's this guy so grumpy about?
Speaker 4: Jesus? So? How quickly did he go from a you
Speaker 4: know what? You play that too? What are you doing later?
Speaker 4: You want to go for a drink and we can
Speaker 4: forget about it?
Speaker 12: I think because I've got really long legs and I
Speaker 12: had a really nice ticket at the time. As soon
Speaker 12: as he put his armor around me, pretty much decorry
Speaker 12: that he was going to take me out.
Speaker 2: This is a weird traffic stock.
Speaker 4: And the thing about this is he wasn't really a
Speaker 4: police officer. It's just an old trick to get dates.
Speaker 4: Just driven into me to the car we're now going together,
Speaker 4: police officer.
Speaker 12: They didn't have all the technology do now, so absolutely
Speaker 12: to get out of the tickets with right.
Speaker 4: Top unraveling going on here, it's it's unbelievable. I've got
Speaker 4: to watch this. Then at the end, so you went
Speaker 4: out with him for six months? And then who broke
Speaker 4: up with who?
Speaker 12: Who was a lot older than me, and he he
Speaker 12: worked old Right.
Speaker 2: After six months you found time served and yeah, it
Speaker 2: was a relationship all of six months older.
Speaker 12: Now, well, I was eighteen and I kind of wanted
Speaker 12: to get out with some hot guys instead of some
Speaker 12: old cop.
Speaker 4: Oh, dear, dear con I thank you very much giving
Speaker 4: us a call.
Speaker 12: I have a lovely di.
Speaker 4: Gus. Good morning.
Speaker 16: How are you Marte? Alright, what's up?
Speaker 4: He drove into yourself?
Speaker 16: No, that's correct.
Speaker 2: Did you date yourself for six months? After that?
Speaker 4: The breakout was very hard to do.
Speaker 16: Has When I was in the Australian Army, I served
Speaker 16: with two cab and they've got armored vehicles which are
Speaker 16: like a tank. And in ninety ninety eight the cats
Speaker 16: and floods happened and their vehicles went down to support
Speaker 16: and evacuate people from Cassin through the floods. Wow, and
Speaker 16: we were down there for about three weeks. I think
Speaker 16: we were down there helping out got back. I wanted
Speaker 16: to go to the boozer so bad. I've jumped out
Speaker 16: of the armored vehicle, left the bloody handbrake off, then
Speaker 16: Dipstick jumped in front of it, put his hands out
Speaker 16: trying to stop a bloody tank. It broke me wrist,
Speaker 16: but I still got to the boozer.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've often been desperate to get to the pub,
Speaker 4: you know, and you've got a bit of wiggle on,
Speaker 4: a bit of a pace about you as you're walking
Speaker 4: down the street. But to leave the handbrake off then
Speaker 4: think that you you versus the tank. You're lucky only
Speaker 4: broke your wrist.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yes, I still have nightmares about it.
Speaker 4: Sorry an end there to that one. Gussie boy, All right, Gus, you.
Speaker 16: Take care now, Gods.
Speaker 4: Today come on now playing nice guys.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian Kyle's Show podcast.
Speaker 4: So Jack, what's the latest with you guys getting ready
Speaker 4: for the baby coming early March? Other than the fact
Speaker 4: that you're now both sleeping on the couch because you
Speaker 4: couldn't get the aircon fixed in your bedroom.
Speaker 2: Well, we're we're doing everything we can to not get COVID.
Speaker 2: As I told you on Tuesday, the yanchor's doctor said,
Speaker 2: don't get COVID or you can't go to this hospital
Speaker 2: to give birth. So we're trying to avoid it at
Speaker 2: all costs. But having said that, we did have my
Speaker 2: auntie and uncle over yesterday.
Speaker 4: God, that defense is wow. We It's like the Star
Speaker 4: Wars nuclear defense program, isn't it. My mom, auntie and
Speaker 4: uncle came round. We're trying not to get it. But
Speaker 4: two people came.
Speaker 2: Round anytime my auntie comes to Melbourne. They live in
Speaker 2: and Right, which is about a fifty minute drive. It's
Speaker 2: like they're flying in from London. The way my mom
Speaker 2: cames is like, now your auntie is going to be
Speaker 2: in Melbourne tomorrow. It's well, she only lives. We could
Speaker 2: get through in forty five minutes if we wanted. But
Speaker 2: my auntie coming to Melbourne is apparently a big thing.
Speaker 2: So we had her visit. She visited yesterday and we
Speaker 2: put out some popcorn on the table for her in this.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, real treat. I'll that big old outload drive
Speaker 4: some pop content.
Speaker 2: She ate popcorn popcorn is an underrated snack. People think
Speaker 2: it's just for movies, but it can feed an entirely
Speaker 2: a family member.
Speaker 5: And about the most dangerous thing if she has got COVID.
Speaker 5: Everyone putting their hands.
Speaker 4: I mean you began by saying we're doing everything we can,
Speaker 4: and it turns out you don't know that you can
Speaker 4: to get it. Also, I mean it literally says we
Speaker 4: couldn't be asked to make any effort with some snacks.
Speaker 4: I put this in something for twenty seconds in the
Speaker 4: microwaves and popcorn.
Speaker 2: Guys, this is not a story about the popcorn. This
Speaker 2: is a story about the popcorm.
Speaker 4: If I've driven an hour to see some stinking old
Speaker 4: typewae nephew, right at the airs is a bowld of
Speaker 4: sweaty popcorn.
Speaker 2: If we make good, we actually make really good popcorn.
Speaker 2: It's just as good as you get at the movies.
Speaker 2: The soul and butter ratio is perfect.
Speaker 4: Oh no, wonder they come all the boys in the yard.
Speaker 2: Away my aunt Anyway, my auntie sees the serving dish
Speaker 2: which we put the popcorn in, and she has a
Speaker 2: strange look on her face. Now, this is a dish
Speaker 2: that Bianca got at a bizarre and she loves those
Speaker 2: kind of old timy markets and trinkets, trinkets, she loves
Speaker 2: those places. She picked this up before Christmas, the butter dish, sir, Yes,
Speaker 2: she loves any kind of dish, any kind of plate, saucepin.
Speaker 2: This is like it looks like a big coffee mug,
Speaker 2: actually oversized coffee mug. Is a big bowl, and we've
Speaker 2: been serving salads in it. We served it at Christmas,
Speaker 2: we served it at New Year's yesterday. My Auntie looked
Speaker 2: at it and goes, well, that's actually a common dish
Speaker 2: from when I was a little girl. And it's not
Speaker 2: a dish, it's what we used for peen in during
Speaker 2: the night. I said what she said, Yeah, before we
Speaker 2: had when we only had an outhouse, you would keep
Speaker 2: that what you've got there pot next to your bed
Speaker 2: so that during the night you could peet. We've been
Speaker 2: serving dinner.
Speaker 4: It wasn't your She's not saying that you see my peapot.
Speaker 2: She's saying they're common. She said.
Speaker 4: She was saying that she'd realized that the pot that
Speaker 4: had actually was our old peopot that would be one
Speaker 4: of that salt ratio was a bit off.
Speaker 2: Her name was written on the bottom of the pot.
Speaker 2: She just said, every family when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: every family had one, and that that's what it is.
Speaker 2: There's no mistaking that is a pisspot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, chamber pot. But I think this was like, you know,
Speaker 4: one hundred years ago.
Speaker 2: That's what it is like outhouses, peen in a pot.
Speaker 2: It sounds like medieval.
Speaker 4: Did you have a peapot? Pats? Yeah, nt pats.
Speaker 2: Pea pot?
Speaker 4: Pa.
Speaker 8: My one of my grandma's deep though, because she leaves out,
Speaker 8: you know, out on the farm, and she had an
Speaker 8: outback loo and you get spiders and snakes in the
Speaker 8: summer out there, so she had work in the loop.
Speaker 5: Absolutely you would.
Speaker 4: At least they were well manner, don't they using a
Speaker 4: toilet to go do the spider poos in?
Speaker 2: So it's almost now sixty or seventy years at least
Speaker 2: sent it's been peeing, So I assume it's clean enough
Speaker 2: to serve salads, popcorn sides.
Speaker 4: Would all of that come on? It's had lots of
Speaker 4: people's pean out. No, I wouldn't eat out of it.
Speaker 2: What if we run it through the dishwasher twice?
Speaker 4: No, no, not even then? I know what people have
Speaker 4: been doing into it. No, it's disgusting your poor auntie,
Speaker 4: Poor Auntie.
Speaker 1: The Christian Connall Show podcast, Patsy.
Speaker 4: But I'm lucky that the kids start to go back
Speaker 4: to school today and tomorrow. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 4: it's Thursday or Friday. I mean, but Audi goes back Monday.
Speaker 4: So I've been making myself very very unpopular for the
Speaker 4: kid to get this. Then since Saturday, I've decided to try,
Speaker 4: and I go in their bedrooms at eight o'clock start
Speaker 4: waking them up. Round they go. And if you've seen
Speaker 4: like a fifteen year old and a seventeen year old
Speaker 4: at that time, and they're like, why you do It's
Speaker 4: not what I mean said. It's not eleven o'clock yet
Speaker 4: six weeks of the good times when I.
Speaker 7: Go out scho Thursday.
Speaker 4: But I'm telling mom why you're doing it, so that
Speaker 4: you need to start getting ready now. It's such a
Speaker 4: basic white dad. I got thrown in my face again
Speaker 4: because I'm training even yes still on the public holiday.
Speaker 4: I was waking them up at eight o'clock and they
Speaker 4: they are filthy. Then then I made them go, and
Speaker 4: once they were I made them going. I want the
Speaker 4: school bags open now. I don't know how you can
Speaker 4: live like this right where you dump a bag in
Speaker 4: the corner of your bedroom at the last air school,
Speaker 4: and then six or seven weeks later you open up
Speaker 4: it had like moldy I presume it's moldy fruit. I mean,
Speaker 4: then there could be the next COVID variant coming out.
Speaker 4: Those school bags being opened up this week. It's disgusting.
Speaker 4: It's like bag zero. Then it's the homework and it's
Speaker 4: a big year in our house for both the girls,
Speaker 4: right especially Ruby. Today is get this, guys, right? You

Speaker 4: around on the show on this I had to pick
Speaker 4: up the tap who is invited to a fourteen girls dinner?
Speaker 4: And then yeah, why not Tuesday night, I'll have some oysters.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was an odd request at the time. Now,
