Speaker 2: Five minutes past six Wednesday morning, It's to Christian O'Connell's
Speaker 2: show on Gold. Good morning, Jackie boy, Hey, guys, coome morning,
Speaker 2: pats morning. How's you we going so far? Patsy?
Speaker 4: Not so good? Last night? Yesterday when I got out
Speaker 4: for work, I couldn't find my latest glasses, my gold glasses,
Speaker 4: and I have. I don't know if you have.
Speaker 2: You transferred to sort of gold glasses after winning the award?
Speaker 2: Did you get rid of those normal sort of old
Speaker 2: missus mangles that you've had for a while?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, I've had these for like eighteen months, but
Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember, maybe a month or
Speaker 4: so ago. I found them in the back of my
Speaker 4: like walking rope, and I don't know how they got there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, remember it. Well, we're talking about that Patsy's
Speaker 2: pee for Patsy And then I got a subcutteres glasses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they've been going missing of late.
Speaker 2: Anyway, don't you have My wife is constantly every day
Speaker 2: my wife. My struggle with my wife is Chris, have
Speaker 2: you seen my phone? Have you seen my Apple watch?
Speaker 2: Have you seen the car keys? Have you seen the glasses?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, put them always in the same place.
Speaker 2: I've got two landing spots, so anything of mine is
Speaker 2: either in one of those two places them anywhere else.
Speaker 4: This is where women and men are different. Chris is
Speaker 4: the same. So Chris. I could ask Chris any given
Speaker 4: time where is his wallet and his car keys? Always always,
Speaker 4: so he's got a lassie.
Speaker 2: I have a landing spot. As soon as they're still there,
Speaker 2: it's easy.
Speaker 4: Yep. I'm different. Whereas if he he needs help to
Speaker 4: find something that honestly in the cupboard, it would bite
Speaker 4: him on the face, like it's right in front of him, like.
Speaker 2: Sarah's constantly doing that, going I'm sorry, Chris, did you
Speaker 2: have to move something slightly?
Speaker 4: Isn't it funny? That's prowally different? But no, I had
Speaker 4: I had misplaced them again yesterday, so I had a
Speaker 4: pair of my old ones on. Anyway, Chris texted me
Speaker 4: through the show yesterday to say, found your glasses And
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I don't know if I'm sleepwalking,
Speaker 4: because they were in the pantry, on the floor of
Speaker 4: the pantry, but they were sitting on top of a
Speaker 4: piece of bread.
Speaker 2: Now left this cute cliff hangers if I meant to go,
Speaker 2: We'll come back to this part in an hour. It's
Speaker 2: a huge clip. It's on a piece of bread. Shack.
Speaker 2: I'm remember I found it on that piece of bread,
Speaker 2: rather slice or piece we fo that one doing. There
Speaker 2: was just drop. There had to drop somewhere. You've obviously
Speaker 2: dropped it.
Speaker 4: No, but in in the pantry, what what's it doing
Speaker 4: in a cupboard? On the floor of a cupboard you.
Speaker 2: Probably carry the glasses in. You got to get some
Speaker 2: make Chris some god awful snack or something with those
Speaker 2: cooking skills of yours, and the glasses drop.
Speaker 6: Do you think?
Speaker 4: No, I don't know you presuming.
Speaker 7: You're actually like you want Headley Thomas to do a
Speaker 7: twelve part.
Speaker 2: Yesterday Carler said how they stub their toe on a
Speaker 2: bed and she was like, witchcraft. There's no weather. That's
Speaker 2: the only possible explanation.
Speaker 4: But it's weird like that was sat really neatly on
Speaker 4: top of the piece of bread.
Speaker 2: This morning before the show, Patsy said, I've got an
Speaker 2: idea for a children's book. And I thought she generally
Speaker 2: had because I thought, oh, that'd been nice thing for
Speaker 2: to do. Now she went, it's about my missing glasses.
Speaker 2: This is the pitch for the book.
Speaker 4: You know you could be.
Speaker 2: It's still a bit more advanced than Andy Lee's ongo
Speaker 2: publish it.
Speaker 3: Pats the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: So you need a landing zone, Patsy, you're an organized person.
Speaker 2: I see your desk the news and that you are organized,
Speaker 2: detailed person. I'm surprised you don't have some kind of
Speaker 2: learning spot for keys and your purse. No.
Speaker 4: I think what the trouble with the glasses is that
Speaker 4: I actually do need byfocals, because when I need to
Speaker 4: look at something close up, I have to take them
Speaker 4: off there for distance and.
Speaker 2: The beginning of the end.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: That's why I go up top for plus two point
Speaker 2: seventy five and then I can look down plus one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm the same, No, no, no, that's not me. I'm mimicking
Speaker 2: the voice of a very old person.
Speaker 4: But I refuse to give into the bifocals.
Speaker 2: I will not. Yeah. Yeah, he's plush up top, Chris,
Speaker 2: he's a plus down below below the horizon, he's a
Speaker 2: plus one. He got it. He acted out this morning,
Speaker 2: some sort of schedule vignett I think he called it
Speaker 2: over there. Whatever, thank you.
Speaker 4: I yeah, no, I refuse to give into the bifocals
Speaker 4: because it's the beginning of the end when you have
Speaker 4: the bifocals. So I'm not getting them. So I will
Speaker 4: just have several pairs.
Speaker 2: Of what do we all do for morning hacks? Because
Speaker 2: these are our regular hours? Right? So you have only
Speaker 2: been doing breakfast sales five years, but I'm sure chat
Speaker 2: by now you've tried to ease anything you can to
Speaker 2: make the getting out of the bed and out the
Speaker 2: door as easy as possible.
Speaker 7: The current one we got, and I actually recommend this.
Speaker 7: We've got these smart lights that you can program to
Speaker 7: dim at any level. You can change the color of them.
Speaker 7: But the thing you can do is, instead of and
Speaker 7: now and a sound alarm when we wake up, the
Speaker 7: lights just come on when the alarm is meant to
Speaker 7: go off.
Speaker 2: So that's nice for your wife, isn't it? Maybe you
Speaker 2: get up and do some cleaning or something. But a kid,
Speaker 2: you too, prepped dinner or something.
Speaker 7: You know, but either the sound is going to wake
Speaker 7: you up or the lights.
Speaker 2: Oh so you live in a lighthouse. Oh gosh, not
Speaker 2: bread feeding. No, no, that maybe sleep. But yeah, I got
Speaker 2: to get up, so shifted a quarter.
Speaker 7: To five every weekday morning the lights go off.
Speaker 4: Oh that's horrible.
Speaker 2: God, what up?
Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't like that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wait, now I must get that and then get a divorce,
Speaker 2: because that's what would happen. It's all at stealth, at
Speaker 2: knife for me. I have to I can. Now the
Speaker 2: alarm goes off, I turn off as quickly as possible.
Speaker 2: The slippers is like Wallace and Grommet. I know exactly
Speaker 2: where they are in the dark. They're positioned in a
Speaker 2: certain way, like power parking your car before before I
Speaker 2: turn the light at night time, I chet the slippers
Speaker 2: in the right place. They're good to go, like and
Speaker 2: it's getting the skis to start going down the slope.
Speaker 2: Push off, push off. Then then I get changed in
Speaker 2: the dark as well. I know where in the room
Speaker 2: you share with your wife or go into the bathroom,
Speaker 2: so I wander out naked into my slippers, walk down
Speaker 2: the cordor shuffling and sometimes doing this. Why is it
Speaker 2: so cold? I know, spring, I moved into a hot country.
Speaker 2: How can it still with this bloody cold? And then
Speaker 2: I get Then the light comes on, I get changed.
Speaker 2: Then the tea bag is already waiting in the cup.
Speaker 2: I just have to add.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: And then I always just as my whole life of
Speaker 2: the morning is like what it's in Grommit. There's a
Speaker 2: piece of toast I put in there the night before.
Speaker 8: It's going to get get out of it and get
Speaker 8: all crusty in six hours anyway, Yeah, exactly, So I ease, Yeah,
Speaker 8: show show go.
Speaker 7: You don't know what animals are going to come out
Speaker 7: and eat the crumbs over night.
Speaker 2: But they get nukes when I put the old the
Speaker 2: little plunger down. What passed the early morning routine? Morning hacks?
Speaker 2: What have you got?
Speaker 4: What hacks have I got? I've got about fifty million
Speaker 4: alarms which wake up the poor love God. And then
Speaker 4: I know I get up, go straight.
Speaker 2: If it's already pre selected.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything's laid out, nickers, everything like every single thing, jewelry,
Speaker 4: every single thing, bag and laptop and keyser on the
Speaker 4: kitchen bench right at the edge as you walk past.
Speaker 2: What in your laptop for you're in a studio about
Speaker 2: eight monitors in there. What's the laptop for private searchers? Stuff?
Speaker 4: The night before, I have.
Speaker 2: A news so I'm going to be that's the news
Speaker 2: for tomorrow. Must get that in earlier our six just
Speaker 2: basically dictate what Peter Hitching says pause on Live Boars prints.
Speaker 4: No, you're going to be a cross stuff.
Speaker 2: Smash six though.
Speaker 7: I record the whole thing onto my iPhone tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2: Still got that grand final result if we need feel,
Speaker 2: I can just mention that again.
Speaker 4: Every Yes, everything's laid out.
Speaker 2: She brings a laptop, and what are you doing on
Speaker 2: that laptop? And what's on that laptop? Offloading secrets to
Speaker 2: the Chinese? Lock her up? All right, so outfit selected laptops.
Speaker 4: Ready, Yeah, breakfast, My shake's ready in my back everything
Speaker 4: is in the bag, ready to It's like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: like pick it up out the door.
Speaker 2: Off. Do you have any kind of like do you
Speaker 2: eat anything in the morning?
Speaker 4: Coffee or no? No, I don't. I have my first
Speaker 4: coffee when I hit the station. I can't eat that
Speaker 4: early in the morning. It's too early.
Speaker 2: Actually, what takes the most of my time I get
Speaker 2: in the car that always ten minutes selecting the right podcast.
Speaker 2: That's a bit boring. That's why I waste my strong
Speaker 2: If you're up early regular like us, what are your
Speaker 2: morning hacks? What do you do?
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Talking about early morning hacks to make it as easy
Speaker 2: as possible if you get up early to get out
Speaker 2: of bed and off to work. I actually ser said
Speaker 2: this before. I think that AI will hopefully invent a
Speaker 2: pillow that can trim your hair and shave you whilst
Speaker 2: you'll sleep as you're as you're gently interesting, don't you
Speaker 2: the night? It can give you a very gentle light
Speaker 2: shave and maybe even trim your hair with this AI pillow.
Speaker 2: So when you get out of bed in the morning,
Speaker 2: you're looking fresh already. You know you've had a shave
Speaker 2: and all that. And why can't the inside of the
Speaker 2: doner if you put your shoes on, give them a
Speaker 2: little shine or clean as well if you wear them
Speaker 2: on your feet as you're moving, let that dynamic motion
Speaker 2: as you're tossing and turning clean and trim you.
Speaker 7: You are getting closer and closer to the walls and
Speaker 7: grub at start of the day.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to be said for it, Jack Christian.
Speaker 2: I go to the gym in the morning every single
Speaker 2: day on a Friday to save time. To make sure
Speaker 2: I actually go, I sleep in my workout gear.
Speaker 4: It's a good idea.
Speaker 7: I don't hate that. That's not as bad as sleeping
Speaker 7: in your uniform for going to work.
Speaker 2: No one does that.
Speaker 7: I've heard somebody sleeping with their shoes on. I bet
Speaker 7: we could find someone this morning.
Speaker 2: There's no way no one does shoes on.
Speaker 7: Just to save time and be ready for work.
Speaker 2: Well, Christian, I brush my teeth in the car with
Speaker 2: a bottle of water and spit it out as a
Speaker 2: dry to work. Tony, if I saw that, that's only
Speaker 2: except if you're a detective. He's been on a steak
Speaker 2: out all night on the.
Speaker 7: Way back from Sydney on the week and I saw
Speaker 7: someone cleaning their teeth in the airport at the airport gate.
Speaker 2: Yes, people are savages these days.
Speaker 7: When do we become traveling brushing teeth and then after
Speaker 7: a few minutes went back into the toilet to I
Speaker 7: guess 'rinted out toilet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly what the world isn't your bedroom private chambers, Christian.
Speaker 2: I take my leftovers to work with me to limit
Speaker 2: the harshness of the fridge lights. It's the flood lights
Speaker 2: of the MCG. I have a specific spot reserve where
Speaker 2: I can close my eyes, open the door, grab the
Speaker 2: container without breaking stride. That's from Gee. These are all
Speaker 2: very good hacks.
Speaker 3: Carl. You're listening to the question, you know, Carl's Show podcast.
Speaker 2: They're sorry, we're talking about that object in your house,
Speaker 2: an object that is your household nemesis that a lot
Speaker 2: of calls yesterday told us about their object. They hate
Speaker 2: and it hates them.
Speaker 9: The existence is a guestless bed. It is a freaking
Speaker 9: nightmare epslot.
Speaker 10: Household Nemesis is trying to open up any beg that
Speaker 10: comes on a roll like a garbage beck.
Speaker 5: The toaster is just the worst thing is in this house.
Speaker 11: So what had happened is I wanted to buy a
Speaker 11: really nice toaster and it.
Speaker 6: Is a piece of crap.
Speaker 2: A lot of calls yesterday did this, And even when
Speaker 2: I was talking about this metallic, awful, oldie worldy breadban
Speaker 2: that I've brought a dells for about a year ago.
Speaker 2: That makes so much noise. This is actually the sound
Speaker 2: of it. Imagine that half four, I think there's someone
Speaker 2: coming in the house, noup, just trying to get a
Speaker 2: slice of sourdo out that flip and oldie worldy bread
Speaker 2: bin with flaky paint. Every wondered this, and notes every
Speaker 2: other chord was this. They need an F work because obviously,
Speaker 2: in real life you use an F word, that's how
Speaker 2: you talk to these things. But on the radio you
Speaker 2: go for frigging toaster, frigging breadmin So you can still
Speaker 2: use an F word, but not the one you actually use.
Speaker 2: Please make it radio friendly. You've got to. You've got somebody.
Speaker 2: Have a couple of nemesis in the house.
Speaker 7: A new one to add that I came face to
Speaker 7: face with last night. The giant chopping board that doesn't
Speaker 7: fit in the dish rusher all the sink. No now,
Speaker 7: because mostly our routine is Bianco will cook and I'll
Speaker 7: do the dishes. Doesn't she doesn't care what chopping board
Speaker 7: she uses, and the big one she goes, oh my god,
Speaker 7: all this space, but she doesn't know how difficult it
Speaker 7: is to clean that guy. He doesn't fit under the sink.
Speaker 7: So when you're trying to angle him and wash the
Speaker 7: corners and you tilt it the wrong way, you get
Speaker 7: water all over your shirt.
Speaker 2: It's like yesterday's story where we were talking about it
Speaker 2: didn't fit, and someone's talking to us about their their
Speaker 2: dad's coffin. He was a tall guy and it didn't
Speaker 2: fit into the ground. The hole was actually too small.
Speaker 2: At the funeral at the grave, that's you. That's the
Speaker 2: trouble board like that, it's half of it is at
Speaker 2: the top of it. She then have to rotate, don't you.
Speaker 7: Yes, So you can clean the bottom of one side,
Speaker 7: then clean the bottom, but you never really get the
Speaker 7: middle side.
Speaker 2: Horrible things to move, aren't they? That you always bang
Speaker 2: in your hand trying it into the sink, and they
Speaker 2: don't go in the dishwashers. Rather horrible, unwielderly things make
Speaker 2: make those chop on board smaller? Please just a bit
Speaker 2: bigger than a cucumber? All right? So what is the
Speaker 2: household nemesis? For?
Speaker 8: You?
Speaker 2: Remember use the right F word.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast arch.
Speaker 2: Enemies in the House. What is your household nemesis? Misty,
Speaker 2: it's her Google lights, Google lights Christian. As soon as
Speaker 2: someone flecks the switch instead of saying hey Google, they flicker?
Speaker 2: Does my head in matts? Matt? I stand within this
Speaker 2: one glad rap Christian. This thing hates me. I scrape
Speaker 2: my fingers every time. It's like the cheese crater has
Speaker 2: got an extra spider web weapon. It's like Spider Man
Speaker 2: basically using that thing. Map. Yes, for Sue are couches.
Speaker 2: We just bought a beautiful, light filled house with light
Speaker 2: wooden floors for all new living area furnitures. Everything looks
Speaker 2: nice and like except for that big black leather couches.
Speaker 2: I keep praying that they're spontaneously combust that's from suit.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Robert Morning, Robert Morning, Christian. There you going,
Speaker 2: Robert turned out happy Wednesday. What is your household nemesis?
Speaker 2: What object for you?
Speaker 12: My household nemesis is a tupawar drawer in the kitchen,
Speaker 12: and on a weekly basis, one of the lids will
Speaker 12: fall down behind the drawer, but then you can't close it.
Speaker 2: Those bastard lids.
Speaker 13: You're not wrong.
Speaker 12: I've got to pull the whole drawer up the lid.
Speaker 12: And this happens on a weekly basis. Does mind frigging headed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this would have challenged even Buddher that
Speaker 2: that tupe of wear drawer we've got is always half open.
Speaker 2: You can't close it because you've got the various lids,
Speaker 2: of which there are nine thousands of in sizes. They
Speaker 2: look square on the round one, the big one, the
Speaker 2: bigger one, the bigger bigger one. They're stuck up there
Speaker 2: like tombstones.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think our TopWare drawer has about one hundred
Speaker 7: pieces of tupwa in it, and not one of them
Speaker 7: shares the lid with anyone else. They've all got their
Speaker 7: indiview lids, and I don't know how that's possible.
Speaker 2: We should do the golden lid. Go into my house.
Speaker 2: If you can match the up immediately, you can have
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars in cash the golden tupper well lid.
Speaker 2: It's not they need to be magnetic or have some
Speaker 2: kind of honing device. When they can, you know that
Speaker 2: you press up with with your vacuum cleaner where you
Speaker 2: can stand on it. That's what we need for tupper Worthy.
Speaker 2: What just goes comes back in. I hear you, Robert,
Speaker 2: I get it, Thank you very much. You call me
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 12: Thanks Christy and.
Speaker 2: You Robert Hannah, good morning. Some doesn't want to finde
Speaker 2: his weight? Where to me? Hannah? Yes, Hello, there we go.
Speaker 2: Hey Hannah, what's your household? Nemesis?
Speaker 14: I have a roller door on my shower and it
Speaker 14: is the most painful thing to live with. It's just
Speaker 14: it never works.
Speaker 2: And I roller door of like a garage.
Speaker 6: Or a locker, like a sliding door.
Speaker 14: Like a sliding door.
Speaker 2: All right, that's what we call a sliding door.
Speaker 14: Yes, so it's it's.
Speaker 15: On a track.
Speaker 14: We've lived in this house for five years.
Speaker 15: We rent.
Speaker 14: It's on a track, and the whole time we've lived there,
Speaker 14: it always comes off the track.
Speaker 15: I'm not sure what it is.
Speaker 14: I've literally gotten up on top of it with the
Speaker 14: screw driver taken the top of it after try and
Speaker 14: fix it.
Speaker 2: They can be really fliby tracks and not exactly like
Speaker 2: solid tram lines. Are they? No?
Speaker 14: But the worst party is like the day I gave
Speaker 14: up on it is because it got stuck and I
Speaker 14: got stuck inside the shower.
Speaker 2: Awful bad place to be stuck inside the shower, stuck left,
Speaker 2: but you're naked and cold.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I'm yelling out to my husband for about
Speaker 14: half an hour, and I just I cannot get out
Speaker 14: of the shower.
Speaker 2: So what have you got? Do you now have some
Speaker 2: sort of like safety procedure in there, or what do
Speaker 2: you do to take someone in with you? How you
Speaker 2: prize your way out?
Speaker 14: No, I just shower with half the door.
Speaker 2: Love, that's a perfect fix. That's great. You love rentals.
Speaker 5: Look, I needed this.
Speaker 6: I needed to get my angry out. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Christian, right a pleasure, Hannah, have a good day. I
Speaker 2: hope that helped.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian, Good morning. I've just got to work. Earlier, we
Speaker 2: were talking about morning hacks to make your morning routine
Speaker 2: flow easier. I'm a teacher. The night before, I make
Speaker 2: my coffee, then put it in the microwave, leave it
Speaker 2: in the overnight first scene to wake it up. Otherwise
Speaker 2: if I'm using the kettle, oh kettle, why kettles? Christians
Speaker 2: so loud, chirs, they are really really loudstorm all right.
Speaker 2: So it is eight days to go until curtain's up
Speaker 2: on our high school musical for grown ups who never
Speaker 2: got a speaking part back in the day. We're doing
Speaker 2: our very own version of Greece, setting it in the
Speaker 2: eighties here in Australia. Get ready for Grouse the Musical.

Speaker 2: cast will be getting the script tomorrow night. They have
Speaker 2: their first online zoom table read, just like actual shows have.
Speaker 2: So we've got the Sannies, We've got the Dannies, we've
Speaker 2: got the Pink Ladies. However, just as we're doing a

Speaker 2: anyone in McFly Beulah, Beulah. We just went They got
Speaker 2: the pink Ladies. We're missing two tea birds, guys, do
Speaker 2: another count?
Speaker 7: Well, this is what happens when you let people choose
Speaker 7: their own past. It's not going to be perfect.
Speaker 2: No one's writing it down all right. So at the
Speaker 2: moment there is a gaping T bird hole. We need
Speaker 2: two T birds. Do you want to be in our musical?
Speaker 2: So this is how we're going to give them away.
Speaker 2: During the next twenty five minutes, the two t bird characters.
Speaker 2: The whole reason why we're doing this. This is a makeover.
Speaker 2: If you didn't get a speaking part back in the day,
Speaker 2: maybe we're just like the wind or a dooor something
Speaker 2: humiliating like that. You went from the audition and they went,
Speaker 2: do you know what? You're not speaking, you're not singing,
Speaker 2: you're not even moving. Actually, you're just a door. So
Speaker 2: if you had a horrible experience back at school with
Speaker 2: your high school player or high school musical, this is
Speaker 2: exactly who we want to be one of our tea birds.
Speaker 2: We'll give you the lines. It doesn't matter if you
Speaker 2: don't even memorize them. Of eight days. Okay, you can
Speaker 2: read the script, it doesn't matter. We just wanted to
Speaker 2: get up on stage and get to enjoy what you
Speaker 2: didn't do ten twenty thirty years ago. Jack. How many
Speaker 2: lines do they actually get? Because I know you've been
Speaker 2: going through the script there. How many is it, mate?
Speaker 7: You'll get about ten lines, zero to ten. It's a
Speaker 7: decent chunk of a You can't have a part in
Speaker 7: the play. No, you're not Danny, but you're not a rock.
Speaker 2: Lovely way to sell it to them. That's a nice
Speaker 2: and motivational like the direction I was taking here. It's
Speaker 2: a decent chunk, all right. You ain't one of the stars,
Speaker 2: so don't get any big ideas, don't get all diva
Speaker 2: on the line. But also your name ta birds. The
Speaker 2: patriarchy still rules to show around here, all right. So
Speaker 2: if you want to be one of the tea birds,
Speaker 2: give us a call.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: Just tell us what you were back in the day
Speaker 2: at school, in your high school play or musical. If
Speaker 2: you want an inanimate object, something terrible, we want to
Speaker 2: change all that put you in the play as a
Speaker 2: tea bird.

Speaker 2: that you weren't allowed as a kid, because, as you're
Speaker 2: going to find out as a parent, Jack, sometimes you
Speaker 2: make up these random rules because constantly parent is a
Speaker 2: endless sease of demands and opinions which you've had no
Speaker 2: time to sit down and form. Even yesterday, it was like,
Speaker 2: I want to outstide it with some friends for lunch,
Speaker 2: and I need some advance of my pocket money. How
Speaker 2: much you happen to give me? I'm like, oh God,
Speaker 2: what's the wrong answer. Where's where's your mom? What does
Speaker 2: she saynd this honest? I might pens I'm the VP.
Speaker 2: I am I in charge of the over office, vowel
Speaker 2: on for and she knows that we are at take
Speaker 2: crisis point right now. My wife is going away with
Speaker 2: is going a girl's weekend tomorrow, so both the kids
Speaker 2: know four easy days coming up. He's going to like
Speaker 2: Chris money, Christmas is coming and he won't be to
Speaker 2: keep tabs go and ask in the same question twice.
Speaker 2: They think it's a brand new day. You can drive
Speaker 2: my car. He must be twenty five now.
Speaker 7: As a kid, I felt like I had a long
Speaker 7: list of things that I was never allowed and I'm
Speaker 7: finding out now as my mum's babysitting Gordy a couple
Speaker 7: of times a week. She sent her photo of him
Speaker 7: yesterday in one of those mechanical cars that you get
Speaker 7: at the supermarket hours of fun. I was never not
Speaker 7: once in my childhood was I given two dollars to
Speaker 7: put in that one of those mechanical cars. I was
Speaker 7: allowed to sit in them all I want and use.
Speaker 2: Would you get Vertigo or something?
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no. It was totally about cost saving. So
Speaker 7: I could sit in the car.
Speaker 4: They're about twenty cents, yes.
Speaker 7: But I was able to use my imagination.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you always see that poor kid just satish.
Speaker 2: And now that's jacked the origin story. He's in that plane,
Speaker 2: it's not taken off.
Speaker 7: Thirty years later, I see that that rule has been lifted.
Speaker 7: Gord He's allowed to have two dollars in the mechanical.
Speaker 2: Car, Golden grandson.
Speaker 4: I feel, oh wow.
Speaker 7: There was a lot of costs saving measures when I
Speaker 7: was a kid. There was. I was never allowed to
Speaker 7: have the mechanical car. Whenever we went to the footy,
Speaker 7: I was not allowed to have food there. We were
Speaker 7: only allowed packed sandwiches from home. Oh no, And anytime
Speaker 7: we went to a restaurant, there was no looking at
Speaker 7: the dessert menu.
Speaker 2: I feel like we need to give you a do over, right,
Speaker 2: like a fairest builder's Jackstay off is a kid, I'll
Speaker 2: take you to them all would cram you into one
Speaker 2: of those old I mean six and five old again,
Speaker 2: and don't once rush to have a little that. We
Speaker 2: get little moons around and they're so mild, aren't they.
Speaker 2: They just sort of tilt a bit and the lights
Speaker 2: flash and he press buttons that don't even work or
Speaker 2: do anything like that. But then we get so.
Speaker 7: Then we go to the MCG. You pay nine dollars
Speaker 7: for chips and you wouldn't complain about it.
Speaker 2: This is cheap half the rice.
Speaker 7: Then we go eat at a restaurant and we're allowed
Speaker 7: to Yes, we will look at the dessert menu, all right.
Speaker 2: Day off. I'm going to make this happen when the
Speaker 2: footage seasons come back. Perhapsy, what were you denied or
Speaker 2: not allowed to have as a kid.
Speaker 4: I desperately wanted boot roller skates, desperately wanted them all
Speaker 4: my friends roller boots, just the the cheepot version.
Speaker 2: Cramp.
Speaker 4: That's what I got, and they had lacers on the
Speaker 4: top of them, and they were so bung, but I
Speaker 4: wanted the proper white as in bustard.
Speaker 2: Means something else.
Speaker 4: I'm not aware of.
Speaker 2: Don't ask me what it means. It's very very rude.
Speaker 4: I do apologize that.
Speaker 2: Probably to Sexy Lamb. But anyway, so you were denied
Speaker 2: those as a kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I couldn't have boot roller skates. Mum was
Speaker 4: a nurse and her excuse used to be I've seen
Speaker 4: far too many casualties with people in roller skates. You'll
Speaker 4: fall over and you'll snap your leg in half.
Speaker 7: But whether you're strapping them to your shoe or they're
Speaker 7: built in, what difference, the exactly the same risk.
Speaker 2: You're not picking up great speed either of those things.
Speaker 2: Those kids, especially with those ones like that, you're sort
Speaker 2: of dawdling along like your club he did. You're not
Speaker 2: picking up any momentum whatsoever.
Speaker 4: We had a big local skate scene in our town,
Speaker 4: and in a country town, it's like one of the
Speaker 4: few things to.
Speaker 2: Do, so it was tag skate scenes.
Speaker 7: Skate scene we are.
Speaker 2: About all those inbred brothers bringing their banjos, playing as
Speaker 2: they skated.
Speaker 4: I used to take the tie up ones and all
Speaker 4: my friends had boot ones, and I looked ridiculous.
Speaker 7: That's why you have to move out of the country.
Speaker 2: And Chris, take me away from this show me a
Speaker 2: better life for gross the music coming to the region
Speaker 2: theater next year. Book Now, all right, So what were
Speaker 2: you not allowed or denied as a kid.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Christian Kyl's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Took the about what we were not allowed as a kid.
Speaker 2: Chat was saying how it was never allowed to go
Speaker 2: on there, you know, in the shopping malls of shopping centers.
Speaker 2: He got the little mechanical rides for very small kids.
Speaker 7: Oh it's allowed on it. I just wasn't allowed to
Speaker 7: experience enjoy.
Speaker 2: The rise, Christian. I saw a dad who had two
Speaker 2: kids sitting one of those shopping center little cars, shaking
Speaker 2: it from side to side to save a few must
Speaker 2: have been Jack's old man. That is shocking, Chris, thank
Speaker 2: you very much that Christian. Please tell Pats I fell
Speaker 2: in pain with the roller skates. This is song Karen Lloyd.
Speaker 2: I really wanted the white boot ones. I got those
Speaker 2: awful metal ones with the straps that would expand as
Speaker 2: my feet grew yep cost cutting a messure from my parents.
Speaker 2: Christian Tim he wasn't allowed as the kids are yo yo.
Speaker 2: Most of the kids has those flash ones that had
Speaker 2: auto free spin. I got the basic wooden one. The
Speaker 2: wooden ones would terrible. Christian. We were growing up as
Speaker 2: one of five kids. We weren't allowed potato chips. The
Speaker 2: only time they appeared in the house was when it
Speaker 2: was one of our birthdays. Christian. I was never allowed
Speaker 2: to watch TV as a kid or have any drink
Speaker 2: that wasn't watered down.
Speaker 7: Actually, we had a friend like that. Every time you
Speaker 7: went to his house. You have to have water down orange.
Speaker 2: Really really tepid. It was barely just like a teaspoon
Speaker 2: of the actual essence.
Speaker 4: Of it make it stretch across homeopathic.
Speaker 7: Of orange.
Speaker 2: Christian. As a parent, I told my kids that parents
Speaker 2: aren't allowed to put money in the rise at shopping centers.
Speaker 2: Only grandparents can do that. That's from Jane. It's gonna

Speaker 7: Yeah, there was a period Lee. You probably met my
Speaker 7: ash where we loved his kids enormous shoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, And so I was at my dad for years
Speaker 17: to buy me something. Eventually he got around to it,
Speaker 17: and the day he bought it, I threw a big tantrum.
Speaker 17: I can't remember what it was about, but I threw
Speaker 17: a big tantrum. And so he took the brand new
Speaker 17: pair of shoes and he made me throw them in
Speaker 17: the Viney's bin.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is on the day that he
Speaker 2: bought them. This could change a person.
Speaker 17: I'll tell you what I learned my lesson.

Speaker 17: Would you like to hear the kicker?
Speaker 2: Yeah, go on, couple litter.
Speaker 17: He took me back to get them. They opened the
Speaker 17: bin and I hadn't put him in correctly. So the
Speaker 17: next person that came along after me got a brand
Speaker 17: new pair of shoes and I didn't get any.
Speaker 2: That's a horrible kicker.
Speaker 17: I wanted you to go with a lesson, but he
Speaker 17: wasn't that main.
Speaker 4: I feel trauma for you.
Speaker 2: Seriously, we're getting second and passive trauma.
Speaker 7: The rollercoaster. You're up.
Speaker 2: There's so much going on in this. Thank you very
Speaker 2: much for sharony. Have a good day, no drama.
Speaker 3: See the Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: The life had been a grown up day to day,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of a lot of it is actually
Speaker 2: just undignified and a constant series of mild and severe humiliations.
Speaker 2: This is what it is to actually be a grown up.
Speaker 2: Perry has a story here which you can just fine
Speaker 2: under undignified.
Speaker 16: So I've recently started going to the gym, and obviously
Speaker 16: when you first start going it is a difficult slog.
Speaker 16: And I tried to do some apps.
Speaker 2: A guy who's got like a months old how many
Speaker 2: months old is your is your kid four months old? Wow?
Speaker 2: That is not my story. When I when the kid
Speaker 2: was four months old, I was starting working out three
Speaker 2: times a week. That got put on hold.
Speaker 7: I'd like to see the rest of the month.
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, but anyway, carry on anyway.
Speaker 16: So I was doing some ad workouts in my first
Speaker 16: session and we're okay, but then a couple of days later,
Speaker 16: I woke up for work at four in the morning,
Speaker 16: and my stomach was so sore that I could not move,
Speaker 16: and I started to slowly try and rock out of bed.
Speaker 16: I couldn't sit myself up, and my wife felt me
Speaker 16: trying to move out of bed, so she started to
Speaker 16: give me the old her.
Speaker 2: Right itself stranded on the beach. Yeap, Oh that is
Speaker 2: undignified or very that is horrible. All right, So we're
Speaker 2: looking for what store have you got when you were
Speaker 2: just in a moment in life where it was just undignified.
Speaker 2: No judgments here, Christian no Connell's show podcast, All right,
Speaker 2: what is your undignified moment? For me? It's a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago. It's the morning after my wife's fiftieth
Speaker 2: when I killed my back trying to lift a couch
Speaker 2: by myself. I had a hangover. I should have waited
Speaker 2: for support. I thought, I'll just get this done one
Speaker 2: there's thing to do. I had a terrible hangover, my
Speaker 2: back I just ping. Something something very bad happened and
Speaker 2: I had to not just take a knee, I had
Speaker 2: to actually go to the floor, lie down the floor
Speaker 2: half an hour age I still couldn't get up, and
Speaker 2: my wife said, I think we need to call the paramedics. Went,
Speaker 2: I'll be fine, it's just given another half an hour.
Speaker 2: She rang the non emergency number and they said, can
Speaker 2: your husband get up? Unaided to go to the toilet,
Speaker 2: and I said, to my sort of not forgo. Actually
Speaker 2: I can't do that. Had to ask for a bowl
Speaker 2: so that I could lean over on the side of
Speaker 2: the front room floor. I said to please do it
Speaker 2: the other way. I just needed to go to the toilet.
Speaker 2: I just needed something I can put under myself. And
Speaker 2: the bowl isn't relevant. I just at thefied moment it
Speaker 2: was actually a salad ball. Patsy hasn't been replaced. Sometimes
Speaker 2: when mother in law comes around, I go, that's the bowl,
Speaker 2: and I feel so good. That's the apple side of
Speaker 2: vinega Jackie. That's undignified. When you're lying on your own
Speaker 2: lounge from floor on your side, go and look away,
Speaker 2: look away to your wife so you can go to
Speaker 2: the toilet.
Speaker 7: And I guess then it's her job to pick the ball,
Speaker 7: take the boy away.
Speaker 2: And chuck it out in the garden. Then I had
Speaker 2: to go call the paramedics. Will down my own house
Speaker 2: on on those trolleys, neighbors looking on where you don't
Speaker 2: you look? All right?

Speaker 2: You love your job.
Speaker 11: I do, Christian. I'm so fortunate that I am working
Speaker 11: as part of a volunteer coordinator for the Age Care
Speaker 11: Volunteer Visitor Scheme. So I get to pair beautiful volunteers
Speaker 11: with people in our age care society.
Speaker 2: To tell me more about that. So they go and
Speaker 2: see old people at home or in care centers. What happens?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Absolutely, They need to be either in an age care
Speaker 11: facility or living independently in their own home, and they
Speaker 11: get the benefit of having a lovely friendship volunteers to
Speaker 11: go and visit them once a fortnite.
Speaker 2: And if people listen to this, right, they might be
Speaker 2: semi retired or they'd like to do something like that.
Speaker 2: What do they need to do? How can they volunteer
Speaker 2: to be part of that?
Speaker 11: Yeah, well it's a it's a new scheme started on
Speaker 11: the first of July. They can look it up for Google.
Speaker 11: It's the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme and there's lots
Speaker 11: of links there and we advertise on seek Volunteer. Many
Speaker 11: people don't know and they can apply to be a
Speaker 11: companion for one of these lovely people off and they're
Speaker 11: lonely and may not have family. So it's a really
Speaker 11: beautiful program.
Speaker 2: I think it's a lovely thing to do. Honestly. The
Speaker 2: way that the elderly are treated sometimes is terrible. They
Speaker 2: are sort of dumped and people don't go and see
Speaker 2: them and whatever for whatever reason. But I think it'd
Speaker 2: be a lovely thing if people have the time that
Speaker 2: they can actually go and do that and chat to
Speaker 2: someone and have a cup of tea with them and
Speaker 2: just hear theo's stories that they've still got in them
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: The other thing they do, my father has early Alzheimer's
Speaker 4: and the other thing that these people do that go
Speaker 4: into the home, I've got to say is they give
Speaker 4: the care a break because it's so full on. It's
Speaker 4: twenty four cents and so it just, yeah, it just
Speaker 4: gives my mom a break to be able to just
Speaker 4: go and get a haircut or something, so that yeah,
Speaker 4: they're playing such valuable roles in our communities every day.
Speaker 2: Jackie, good on you for what you are, what you
Speaker 2: and your team do. Thank you very much.

Speaker 13: thousand kilometers less than the other way.
Speaker 2: Fascinating. You have a question about that.
Speaker 7: Hearing that back we should have at the time, But
Speaker 7: that has to be wrong. Two thousand kilometers you saved
Speaker 7: by going on the inside lane, is what he was claiming.
Speaker 7: That's got to be wrong.
Speaker 2: What have you found out about that now?
Speaker 4: Jack is actually right, It's only a difference of twenty
Speaker 4: meters going the other way around.
Speaker 7: To think in two thousand k's is like Melbourne to cams.
Speaker 2: But I thought that that it's so big the country
Speaker 2: kind of made sense last week. We all let it slide.
