Melvin's Gold one 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.600 oh four point three. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.720 Two weeks ago on the show, I was talking about 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.400 personal markers, morning markers that you have if you're regularly 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.800 up this time of the morning. I have one as well. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.840 If I'm not saying hello to you by about six 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.080 minutes past six, seven minutes past six, something's gone wrong. 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.720 I'm saying hello to you today. It's eleven minutes past six. Jack, 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.920 we've been in since half five. How are we late 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.720 for the start of the show. I don't understand. Plus apologies. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.240 If you've been listening before the six o'clock news, you 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.160 would have heard Brand the producer think of the best 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.040 thing to do is to start dire Straits, a long, 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.400 dire straight song. Then realize the air of his ways 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.120 and kill it. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.120 Try and try to fade it out and fade something else. 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.120 I don't think he tried to fade out is pressed 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.920 to kill switch. So yeah, apologies, we are late for 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.000 the song. I don't know one apologize. It's not you care. 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.520 Well, the onus is usually on us because after six 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.959 o'clock we kind of slowed down the usual time stops 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.639 of news at six thirty seven o'clock. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:29.000 Dare you? 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.160 That's well? That is ours the same mate every day. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:36.160 Excuse me, I hit those junctions sixtty news is roughly 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.400 is roughly there or not? Seven o'clock has always banged 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.319 on the seven o'clock news, and. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.679 Then we drift out during eight o'clock. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.039 Ready does that happen? But I appreciate it must have 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:46.880 happened occasionally. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.640 But there's no overnight show that is running late, so 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.880 there's really no excuse to not be here, right, how. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.360 We late starting today's show anyway? On today's show, then 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.480 we got more simple Mind tickets for you and three mates. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.520 That's at seven thirty week eight and ten weeks of tickets. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.240 Yesterday I mentioned this in passing how Jack told me 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.560 that our producer Brat, Let's not forget this is the 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.640 producer who basically got the job on the show because 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.280 he's got the number of the swearing parent. It's always 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.240 always there, break breaking glass. In case of emergency, we've 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.359 got that swearing parent lined up a bossleaves of a 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.400 ever quiet show. So how did he tell you about 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.560 is having no cartlidge in his knee or no brain? 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.000 We were running through the list of casualties from your 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.120 wife's party on Saturday night, so you got to saw back. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.080 Pats is still away. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.560 Still can't talk. She called it yesterday. She claimed that 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.080 she wasn't able to talk to me, but happy to 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.680 just give me some WhatsApp messages for an update. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.120 So she's in a bad way. And then Brad said 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.079 that he had to ic his knee all of Sunday 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.799 because he was dancing on the dance floor. But he's 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.239 got no cartilage in his knee and his knee was 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:54.359 very sore the next day. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.280 So I dismissed this. Didn't think it was possible. And 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.760 I've had quite a few messages from listeners also have 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.080 no cartilage in their knee. How have you got no 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.880 cartlage in your knee? Well? 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.200 I was the under twelve C grade football champion. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.280 Oh boy, here we go. How many guys have I 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.000 met the last year and a half. What I call 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.600 the could have been a contenders that a knee or 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.840 something blew out, or a shoulder blew out. Otherwise they 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.440 would have gone all the way and would have been 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:23.959 bigger than Dusty Martin. Yep. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.760 You haven't even had the pleasure of my dad telling 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.320 you his story about how he almost played for Collingwood. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.079 That's for another day. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.920 So the Saints almost could have had you, Yeah, yeah, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.880 and and twisted and wrenchman knee and then it got stuck. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.320 So my knee was stuck at forty five degrees and 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.560 I had to hop off the ground, took them back. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.480 They tried to straight Come on, this isn't some sort 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.800 of road runner cartoon. You don't get knees stuck at 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.040 forty five degrees. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.480 Yep, they tried to straighten it. He couldn't straighten it, 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.960 so but the pain was so much that then went 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.920 it got so swollen. For two weeks they couldn't operate. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.000 And this was in the ninety hundreds when they would 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.520 hold a person down and operating table met them biting 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.000 a wooden spoon and saw the leg off. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.880 Yeah, they put a leech on your knee, didn't. 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:13.400 They That's why he's got a wooden leg.

I've got about 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.200 an eight inch scar on one side of my knee 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.240 where they came in, and I was in plaster from 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.600 my groin to my toes for about three months. 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.440 Geez, that's pretty bad for a year old.

I 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:20.520 don't know. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.600 And just make sure you keep your immune system up 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.760 to date and have your regular flu shots and stuff 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.120 like that, and. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.600 So pretty much in an average year that Anthony, you're 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:33.959 you're pretty much okay with this. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.679 Yeah, yeah, I've been like that. I've been like that 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.560 for thirty five years. I'm still kicking them. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.959 Don't know what this phone in? What's it called? How 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.080 tough our Australia. So our last guy here has got 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.439 no knee virtually, this guy's got no spleen, just carrying 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.480 on walking around us in plain view. It's incredible. You're 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.080 another hero, Anthony, Thank you very much. All right, this 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.240 is great Anthony, have a good day mate, thanks for 0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:58.840 calling the show. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.680 Jeus mate, The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:04.680 oh four point three. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.520 What is missing in You? Some more that have come 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.480 in on text Tony Edwards, good morning. Tony's got no 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.040 lens in his right eye. So at the moment on 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.920 our leaderboard of what is missing in you? Who have 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.360 we had so far? We've got two great calls this morning. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:25.119 So Neil has no ACL, no PCL and no MCL 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.720 in his knee. Essentially he's got nothing his need except 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.080 his term bone on bone. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.240 Yeah, it's just bone on bone and a little bit 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.319 of sellotape holding him all together. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.640 But he's still walking around. And Anthony is. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.680 One of the wizards of odds. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.480 Has no spleen after a bike accident when he was 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:42.040 a teenager. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.720 All right, there's that Tony then, who's got no lens 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.120 in his right eye, so many can't see. How his 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.400 right eye off focus. I'm not sure what that would mean. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:55.400 Joe's dad has no knee cap on the left knee. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.520 How do you lose a cap? 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.280 I don't know whether it's been taken out our decorator. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.000 This comes from our decorator, who's here at the moment 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:10.640 listening to this. I love this. I don't know. Our 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.439 decorator claims that whenie, I'm not laughing at this but okay, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.520 obviously serious voice. Our decorator claims that when he had 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.520 a heart attack and fell off his bicycle, the hospital 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.400 informed him was he where he had no hips? This 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.880 seems very odd, Christian, as he's walking around my house 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.480 painting and decorating for the last week, but he's just 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.560 informed me he's got no hips. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.560 Oh well, where does the hips start and finished? 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.040 I don't know. How can you be walking around and 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.720 a professional painter and decorator with no hips. Shakira needs 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.000 to do a follow up to these hips. Don't lie 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.120 with there are no hips. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.040 Nick, go do us a favor. Go on poking where 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.160 the hips would be and tell if if it's just 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.480 flesh or if you can feel a. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.760 Bit, can you tap bone out the hip bone? Surely 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.480 that can't be right. All right, let's take some more calls. Margaret, 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.920 good morning, Good morning, Christian. How are you have you well? Margaret? 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:01.800 Thanks for calling the show. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:03.840 That's okay, all right? 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.800 What's missing in you? Margaret? My stomach all right, how 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.160 so how come what large smaller testing? 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.760 I lost my whole my whole stomach. I had a 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.880 tumor on the top of it. And nine and a 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.120 half months ago the tumor went. He took the stomach 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.600 with him because he'd infiltrated it. So they brought my 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.960 small intestine up to my esophagus and now I have 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.000 about ten small meals a day. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:30.959 Wow. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.160 Wait, that's incredibley can no, I have no appetite and 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.840 I don't for me, I don't have a first ever, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.120 so I just have to put fuel in my body 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:40.640 all day. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.840 That's incredible. Margarete obviously a very strong woman. And Margaret 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.360 tell me this, did you have cancers that the tumor was? Can? 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:46.680 I ask? 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.160 Yes? They found a cancer's tumor on the top of 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.120 my stomach at the junction of my esophagus and stomach 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:58.439 last year. So I had temo for four months and 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.559 then I had surgery. So they were able to operate, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.360 which was very good. I'm here to tell the tale. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.280 Yeah, saved your life from what a strong person you 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.920 are then to get through all that.

But I'm doing 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.560 a little bit of more chemo treatment. But I'm getting 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.480 through it. And I have to say, without the help 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:31.520 of the wonderful stuff at Cabrini Malvin and Brighton, it's 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.680 been a big journey, but I'm getting there. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.760 So yes, Cabrini Melvin. I met their staff there for 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.880 the first time Sunday. That's where I got none of it, 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.160 I did you.
