Speaker 1: that happens in the morning, Your coffee, tea, whatever, it is,
Speaker 1: that little comfort to try and make the journey a
Speaker 1: bit easier in the morning. My knee dropping. Is you
Speaker 1: like a kid who's just dropped an ice cream or
Speaker 1: let go of a balloon. It's just overwhelming, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, not quite the same. I haven't quite recovered.
Speaker 1: And the thing is with this Perhaps has this cup
Speaker 1: of coffee that you get? Do you get it from
Speaker 1: the same place every morning?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Right? What I never understand is after the show, at
Speaker 1: like ten o'clock in the morning, you're still sipping what
Speaker 1: is now almost frozen. It's gone so cold. I get
Speaker 1: any it's an iced coffee goes somewhere piping hot to ice.
Speaker 1: You're still having it. Seven people just chug coffee down,
Speaker 1: don't they.
Speaker 4: It's the cup that keeps giving.
Speaker 3: You must only drink like a couple of meals per hour.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just like to sip on it.
Speaker 1: What have you got like a neel my mouth sort
Speaker 1: of sign above your microphone in there like a little
Speaker 1: humming mud, just taking tiny bits of it? How can
Speaker 1: you control yourself like that? Just offfen up? Now?
Speaker 4: No, you savor it drinking it that way?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I felt? Really sort of? I
Speaker 1: felt guilty this morning. One of the team I can't
Speaker 1: say who it is, and you'll find out wine a minute.
Speaker 1: One of the team said, I'm going to go in
Speaker 1: surprise my mum this weekend by visiting her on Mother's Day,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I felt really bad, but obviously
Speaker 1: it's a bit harder for me, you know, to fly
Speaker 1: all the way back twenty four hours of surprise my mum.
Speaker 1: And then I thought, actually it'd be a really big
Speaker 1: surprise because it's not Mother's Day in the UK on Sunday.
Speaker 1: It'd be a genuinely big surprised like, what are you
Speaker 1: doing here was two months ago. I've been waiting for
Speaker 1: you for two months. You're actually late late to Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: So I yesterday I was saying on the show how
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how booked up everywhere gets for taking
Speaker 1: out mums to lunch. It must just be a lot
Speaker 1: of mums and families at restaurants everywhere around Melbourne, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's packed. Yeah. I tried again yesterday. There's nothing. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's not listeners kindly of texted and where to go,
Speaker 1: but if it involves more than a twelve minute car journey,
Speaker 1: I'm out.
Speaker 3: The closest we got was Trentham. So for you from Bayside.
Speaker 1: Same as Game of Thrones, You've gotta be careful when
Speaker 1: you go up north. Okay, I'm the king of winter
Speaker 1: Fell bay Side.
Speaker 4: Off it up our booking for Sunday because we can't do.
Speaker 1: It for you. And listen, I don't want your sloppy seconds. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I sent the kids yesterday. Hey listen, I lie
Speaker 1: to them and that is good parent. And I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I tried to book somewhere a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I thought'd be really nice instead if we just had
Speaker 1: like I'll get some stuff from the deli and I'll cook.
Speaker 1: And they didn't have to say anything. I just saw
Speaker 1: from their faces that was not a Mother's Day treat
Speaker 1: for them or their mum either. They're like, well, are
Speaker 1: you going to cook? I went, I'm going to find
Speaker 1: a recipe online, and oh god, god, he's going to
Speaker 1: find something online. So that's what I'm gonna be doing.
Speaker 1: Surprise my wife was something I found online. If you
Speaker 1: haven't got any easy recipes, do let me know. On
Speaker 1: this morning show. Then Shane Crawford's going to be an
Speaker 1: after eight o'clock PASSI he had it in the news.
Speaker 1: The Footy show was axed last night, so we'd been
Speaker 1: talking about this weekend's footy action and also about the
Speaker 1: Footy show with Crawf late on this morning after eight the.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show's gold one oh four point three.
Speaker 1: I often read about this tom of the show. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: if we're lucky, it's like shaking up a snow globe.
Speaker 1: We asked Patsy for some of her views on life,
Speaker 1: and yesterday after the show we were treated to something.
Speaker 1: We were talking about Megan Markle and the Royal Baby,
Speaker 1: and I merely asked, pats what do you think of them?
Speaker 1: Would you care to share your comments? No, not really,
Speaker 1: come on, you were just you looked at some video
Speaker 1: footage and I knew you'd have an opinion on her.
Speaker 1: I just knew that you weren't a fan.
Speaker 5: No, not that I'm not a fan. I just I
Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know if she's genuine.
Speaker 1: Now what is that based on?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just see the actress all the time. I'm not
Speaker 5: sure if that's really Megan.
Speaker 3: Do you think she's acting the whole time she's in
Speaker 3: this room?
Speaker 4: Well, I just don't know if she's down to where
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Here were the exact words said to Jack and I
Speaker 1: yesterday in the studio. I just saw the way she
Speaker 1: put her hand on his back, and.
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, looked fake, the.
Speaker 1: Fa best of all, no comment. Now she's yelling at.
Speaker 5: Us it looked fake, and I hope it's not, because
Speaker 5: obviously Harry's absolutely chuffed and I'm so happy for him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, his mum and everything. He deserves happiness, and
Speaker 5: I just hope it works.
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Now, why do you think she's fake? Because I think that.
Speaker 1: I think they come across as a very lovely couple.
Speaker 4: They're very in love.
Speaker 1: Her story as well, you know, with her dad and
Speaker 1: her family, the brother horrible, you know, awful. She all
Speaker 1: that she seems to do real dignity, and she's clearly
Speaker 1: trying to distance herself from her family and for any
Speaker 1: chance of her I don't know how a marriage. It
Speaker 1: marriages hard anyway, any relationship. But then when you're in
Speaker 1: this giant reality show. The world's biggest reality show, way
Speaker 1: bigger than the Kardashians, is the British royal family. It's
Speaker 1: big all over the world and everyone's analyzing every single photo,
Speaker 1: people like you, judging them just based on a video
Speaker 1: clip when you've just pushed a baby out of your
Speaker 1: Oh look where she's put her hand. I just see
Speaker 1: the actress.
Speaker 4: I don't know. It just looked fake to me.
Speaker 1: Well, she's tired, she's just you know what it's like.
Speaker 1: You've given birth, you must have just exhausted. And then
Speaker 1: suddenly there's cameras everywhere and people go be analyzing how
Speaker 1: you look. You look tired, Do you look washed out?
Speaker 1: Do you look overwhelmed?
Speaker 5: But that's what you marry into, you know what you're
Speaker 5: marry into. She's a very intelligent woman. She knows what's
Speaker 5: in store.
Speaker 1: Patsy doesn't like her.
Speaker 3: But perhaps if you say they're very much in love,
Speaker 3: you believe they're in love.
Speaker 5: What's the dact I just I think when she's in
Speaker 5: front of the camera, I think she just slips into
Speaker 5: that actress mode.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure, but they all do. Harry will have
Speaker 1: his mode that he goes into. They're playing characters, aren't they.
Speaker 1: In this strange kind of show in front of us.
Speaker 1: All the royals do that. You see there were that
Speaker 1: Kate talks sometimes as well. They you know, they're in
Speaker 1: front of the cameras. How can you not put that?
Speaker 1: She's not just gonna go, Oh my god, I'm so sore.
Speaker 1: Do anyone got any vasseline for my nipples? They're really
Speaker 1: sore at the moment, I'm leaking saying I'm leaking. Someone
Speaker 1: help me. I'm actually leaking. I need to go and
Speaker 1: have a dump right now as well. So let's wrap
Speaker 1: this up and then you're gonna go. She's so she's loughing. Okay,
Speaker 1: headline here, Patsy hates Meghan.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get on the phone. I'm going to
Speaker 1: get her on the phone next week. I know, Harry,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get her on the phone next week
Speaker 1: for you two to have it out. There we go,
Speaker 1: and that's this week's Patsy's views on life.

Speaker 1: named if you were the other sex. I'm the only
Speaker 1: boy in the youngest of four, so they're going to
Speaker 1: have I guess they run out of girls' names. If
Speaker 1: I was going to be a girl, I was just
Speaker 1: simply going to be named Kia. That's some and eats
Speaker 1: brackets Kia Brisbane podcaster and Brisbane Podcasters.
Speaker 3: Do we ever find out if Craiggena and Waynett were
Speaker 3: real children? Did anybody contact the show to tell us
Speaker 3: if they were real and we.
Speaker 1: Should find out? When were we talking about that? Was it?
Speaker 1: Last week?
Speaker 3: Last week?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Last week? That was it? Yeah? This comes from
Speaker 1: STRAUSSI things made at school. We're talking yes on the
Speaker 1: show about the things you made at school? Do you remember?
Speaker 1: And would work and metal work Christian. I was too
Speaker 1: busy to ring yesterday. I was on the road. My
Speaker 1: mother stool has and uses the coffee table I made
Speaker 1: at school in year ten, nineteen seventy nine. That's great,
Speaker 1: nineteen it still doing. It's still there. At the time
Speaker 1: I made it, we didn't have a coffee table and
Speaker 1: she hasn't brought another one since. Brackets and she's not
Speaker 1: short of money. I love that phrase. We use that
Speaker 1: a lot. Don't tell you they're not short of money.
Speaker 1: People kind of lean in or whisper it when they
Speaker 1: say it, even though they might be in a different
Speaker 1: state and not short of money. She's not short of
Speaker 1: money brackets. Some might there looks a bit out of
Speaker 1: place in a quite modern house, but it does make
Speaker 1: me feel quite proud. Whenever I go around, do you reckon?
Speaker 1: She has got a bit of coffee table right, But
Speaker 1: whenever STROUSSI the sun comes around, she's nice here. Now
Speaker 1: he's putting up, put up, get it out, get it out,
Speaker 1: to break it? That flimsy thing. Another one to hear
Speaker 1: from Muriel, What strange thing you do in the shower segment.
Speaker 1: I love when people refer to segments. My dad still
Speaker 1: refers to a show as an episode. I was listening
Speaker 1: to the episode the other day, Season one episode, Good
Speaker 1: morning Christian. Yesterday you had a gentleman by the name
Speaker 1: of and for Me that called in to say his
Speaker 1: girlfriend showered with her parrots. Great memory. Yes, he was
Speaker 1: called Anthony with an h. I just want to say
Speaker 1: that this is perfectly normal behavior. Yeah, Yesterday, Anthony called
Speaker 1: in about his girlfriend. Three parrots that get in the shower,
Speaker 1: and they don't just sit there sort of staring at
Speaker 1: his girlfriend. They open up their wings and shower and
Speaker 1: clean it under their sort of parrot armpits. We have
Speaker 1: four parrots that we regular regularly have a shower with,
Speaker 1: two at a time, otherwise they'd all fight. Two of
Speaker 1: them are bullies. Two of them love to sit on
Speaker 1: your finger and virtually go into a deep meditative state
Speaker 1: whilst getting drenched with all the mist. I would get
Speaker 1: through a parrot's and their natural habitat. It reminds me
Speaker 1: of may me being in some kind of rainforest the canopy,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. But I love the fact that they're didn't
Speaker 1: their eyes go you know when you get like cats
Speaker 1: or you know, and you're took in the nameper and
Speaker 1: their eyes go and roll towards the back of the head.
Speaker 1: And there's deep state with the with the mist in
Speaker 1: the shower. One lights to bounce from your head to
Speaker 1: the top of the shower screen, hang upside down on
Speaker 1: the towel rail. What a show they're putting on? Like
Speaker 1: a circuit might come and have a shower with them.
Speaker 1: What is it? This for you guys jump up on
Speaker 1: the shower head then jump back on your head. I
Speaker 1: mean you could go and America's got talent with this.
Speaker 1: The other one puts her grumpy face on and sits
Speaker 1: on the top of the shower screen, not taking in
Speaker 1: sometimes so Christian, I don't want to say totally normal
Speaker 1: shower behavior. Oh, for the record, in case any of
Speaker 1: you are wondering, wet bird smells exactly like wet on
Speaker 1: That is great. I wasn't. I don't think anybody else
Speaker 1: were wondering, but now you mention it. It's good to
Speaker 1: know that wetbird smells up wet dog. Don't ever say
Speaker 1: you don't learn anything from this breakfast show. Okay, we
Speaker 1: now know that wet parrots smell exactly like wet dogs.
Speaker 1: Muriel and your lovely feathered friends. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: If you every want to email me, it's Christian at
Speaker 1: Gold one at four to three dot com dot AU.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one oh four
Speaker 2: point three On.
Speaker 1: This day, mystery, on this day, on this very day
Speaker 1: in history. I did not know the story, and I'm
Speaker 1: a massive Rolling Stones fan. Decca Records signed up the
Speaker 1: Rolling Stones on the recommendation of George Harrison. Oh really,
Speaker 1: he said, hey, listen, you should sign up these guys.
Speaker 1: They're really good. They are young bands, London bands called
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 3: Was it much beef between Red Stones and Beetles? I
Speaker 3: thought they were so.
Speaker 1: Later on, yes, you can imagine you're vein. You're both
Speaker 1: very famous that. You know, you've got the Beatles, who
Speaker 1: were kind of like your clean pop band, look at
Speaker 1: the way they dressed. And then you've got the dirty,
Speaker 1: kind of ruggedness of our blues rock and roll band
Speaker 1: like the Rolling Stones with Jagger and Richard's. You know,
Speaker 1: they were genuinely almost at times frightening to wide stream
Speaker 1: society in Britain at the time in the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 3: Then George Harrison stand over to them and go, I
Speaker 3: made you guys, you would have been here without me.
Speaker 1: You owe me, You owe me his payback. Mick, I
Speaker 1: know you're in the hospital bed right now, recovering from
Speaker 1: heart surgery, but I never forget. Actually, George Harrison was
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Beatles. If you ever listened to
Speaker 1: any of.
Speaker 3: His solo album yea, I love his songwriting.
Speaker 1: Honestly, If you dig out if you're a Beatles fan
Speaker 1: or you've never heard of any of George Harrison's soda stuff.
Speaker 1: All Things Must Pass is an amazing, amazing album George
Speaker 1: Harrison album. He did some really really cool side projects. Anyway,
Speaker 1: The big thing I want to talk about today also
Speaker 1: on this day in history, we go to the world
Speaker 1: of sport. We go to the world of sport. A
Speaker 1: big sporting upset happened on this day in history. What
Speaker 1: do you think the sporting upset was.
Speaker 3: Not the Australian gold medalist Stephen Bradbury when everybody else
Speaker 3: fell down.
Speaker 1: No, it's not that it's a big sporting upset. What
Speaker 1: do you think happened on this day in history? One
Speaker 1: of sport's biggest upsets? Nine four one O four three
Speaker 1: with you guess.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show Melbourne's Gold one oh four point.
Speaker 1: Three two about yesterday on the show when we're talking
Speaker 1: about things you made at school, do you remember we
Speaker 1: were I read out an email from a guy who
Speaker 1: made cufflinks.
Speaker 3: Yes, Gold played it in metalwork.
Speaker 1: He's just sent me a photo of them. They are
Speaker 1: over twenty years old now they look like the kind
Speaker 1: of things that would have been used in a musket
Speaker 1: during the American Civil War. They do not resemble cufflinks. Firstic,
Speaker 1: They're just amazing. They do almost look like paper fastness.
Speaker 1: You know the things you get what are they called,
Speaker 1: I believe they're called treasury tags where they you put
Speaker 1: them through with that top right hand corn chop, left
Speaker 1: hand corner of a load of papers or something like that.
Speaker 1: But they do not look like cufflinks.
Speaker 3: They look like something if you go to a museum
Speaker 3: that they dug out from an archaeology. I feel like,
Speaker 3: many many years ago, we.
Speaker 1: Will put them up. There's quite a few of you've
Speaker 1: actually sent photos of the things you made at school.
Speaker 1: You still we put them all up on our Facebook page.
Speaker 1: It we'll add these O C one O four three
Speaker 1: on this day, mystery on this day. So it made
Speaker 1: the tenth on this day in history, in the world
Speaker 1: of sport, there was a big sporting upset. What do
Speaker 1: you think it was? It's got a nine sex and
Speaker 1: guests this good morning, Shane.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you going.
Speaker 1: I'm good. So you've had a good week, Shane.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it made pretty crazy, pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy and looking forward to the weekend. Yeah, always, always,
Speaker 1: and what do you think it was the world of sport,
Speaker 1: huge upset on the stain in history.
Speaker 3: Uh have to be the America's Cup. We took up
Speaker 3: this Yanks.
Speaker 1: You did. It was an amazing story that and it's
Speaker 1: such a big deal for them as well. And they
Speaker 1: even call it the America's Cup Erica, like they call
Speaker 1: the baseball Series the World Series when it's just for
Speaker 1: American teams to play. Shane's not the right answer, but nice, guess,
Speaker 1: have a great weekend, mate, all right, Kevin's on the nine.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Kevin, yay, Christian, how are you? I'm good, mate,
Speaker 1: I can hear the end of the hazard. Lights are on.
Speaker 1: You're pulled over in the rain.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm right now. Worries, I'm I'm Bluetooth, good man?
Speaker 1: Is that is that a code name? Born identity? I'm
Speaker 1: I'm pray too. I don't know. Oh that's a that's
Speaker 1: a smoker's laugh there, lovely. All right, And Kevin, why
Speaker 1: happened I say, agent Bluetooth, What do you think happened
Speaker 1: on this day in history?
Speaker 8: The ending of the Fuddy Show?
Speaker 1: Of course, sporting upsets topic or very good Kevin, it
Speaker 1: is on this day in history that is in use today,
Speaker 1: but it's not the one we're looking for. Kevin, have
Speaker 1: a good weekend.
Speaker 8: Thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Bluetooth take care, he's always out there,
Speaker 1: agent Bluetooth. No say world a sport. People are going
Speaker 1: to get angry. Now we go to the story in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, what a big upset in the world
Speaker 1: of chess when the twelve time World chess Grandmaster Gary
Speaker 1: Kasparov was beaten by the IBM computer Deep Blue.
Speaker 3: No wonder nobody got it?
Speaker 1: Now? Please, I cross reference two different websites, CNN, a
Speaker 1: global news gathering saucer you would respect, Patsy Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and also the New York Times both classified the story
Speaker 1: as a sports story. I didn't believe that chess is
Speaker 1: a sport.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe at a stretch, chess of the sport, but
Speaker 3: then too play a computer that's not a sport.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: It was the last of their six games. He'd already
Speaker 1: lost two to the computer. They drawn three, and get
Speaker 1: this right, after nineteen moves, he just quit. But they
Speaker 1: don't call it quitting in chess. In that box and
Speaker 1: they can say he quit on his stool. He resigned, Yes,
Speaker 1: knock over the he resigned. He wasn't even beaten. It was, apparently,
Speaker 1: in the word of chest an easily playable position. He
Speaker 1: could have HEAs a grand chess master that widely regarded
Speaker 1: as the greatest chess grand master ever, Gary Kasparov from Russia.
Speaker 1: But he just quit. And then he walked out, and
Speaker 1: the cameras grabbed her on the way out, and he
Speaker 1: just simply said, straight down the bowl of the camera,
Speaker 1: I've lost my fighting spirit.
Speaker 3: So he's that it for his career.
Speaker 1: That was it. Oh yeah, it's a strange story.
Speaker 9: Chess.
Speaker 1: I would never consider chess a sport. They don't have
Speaker 1: to do any kind of real other than playing the
Speaker 1: game sat down. You don't have to do any training
Speaker 1: or you don't have an outfit for it.
Speaker 3: You got to train, you have practice.
Speaker 1: You're not like you think about like think about AFL,
Speaker 1: think about boxing or MMA. They've got to go and
Speaker 1: do like road work, They've got to do the running,
Speaker 1: the stretching, the weights. You don't have to do any
Speaker 1: of that for chess. There's no kind of cross training
Speaker 1: or specialized training you need to do for the order.
Speaker 1: You don't even need to change his shoes. That's another
Speaker 1: in my mind. If you need to change your shoes,
Speaker 1: it's a sport. In fact, you heard it here first,
Speaker 1: so that's another thing you learned today's show. Now only
Speaker 1: do wet parrots smell like wet dogs? That chess is
Speaker 1: apparently a sport.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show Melbourne's Gold one oh four
Speaker 2: point three.
Speaker 1: I love Crawf all right, since I'm going to know
Speaker 1: him and he's become a good friend as well. However,
Speaker 1: he is not the sharpest tool. He has just sent
Speaker 1: me a text. We often swap text before he comes
Speaker 1: in about what we might talk about. He's actually texted
Speaker 1: me this morning. Better money texted me at half ten
Speaker 1: last night saying footy show's been axt. He sent me
Speaker 1: a text saying when I'm in, ask me about the
Speaker 1: footy show. Oh oh oh, yes, of course, mister journalist.
Speaker 1: I never would have thought about that. Yes, do you
Speaker 1: mean the lead news story? Would it amazing if I
Speaker 1: got him in and never mentioned about what is it
Speaker 1: this country's biggest, longest running sports show on the longest
Speaker 1: running sports shows in the world that he's been heavily
Speaker 1: involved in for years. That got axe yesterday.

Speaker 1: beat you last weekend. You need to cut my grass. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what's going on this weekend? You're looking for a job.
Speaker 1: You say, Oh, that's interesting.

Speaker 1: him coming up to the next half an how though,
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this all morning. We are
Speaker 1: going to be taking calls about crazy teachers. Everyone remembers
Speaker 1: the crazy teacher you had at school. You remember their name,
Speaker 1: It's burnt into your memory forever. What's your story? Who's
Speaker 1: the crazy teacher? What do they teach? What did they do?
Speaker 1: Nine four one four one oh four three? We're taking
Speaker 1: a cause.
Speaker 2: Next the Christian O'Connell breakfast show. Melbourne's Gold one oh
Speaker 2: four point.

Speaker 1: You've got a great story as well about a crazy teacher.
Speaker 3: As was our language teacher, Miss Ci, who when the
Speaker 3: class is talking, she would yell silence or I'll kill you.
Speaker 1: What silence? Or i will kill you.
Speaker 3: It was almost air catchphrase because she would say it
Speaker 3: so often.
Speaker 1: Silence, I'll kill you, especially if it's a language teacher,
Speaker 1: because often they would say with an inflection or the
Speaker 1: accent as well, sounds like a Steven Sigar movie title
Speaker 1: straight to DVD, silence or I will kill you. Let's
Speaker 1: go to lines. Crazy teacher this morning nine four one
Speaker 1: four one oh four three Richard, good morning, Good.
Speaker 7: Morning, christ Yeah, we had a feature called mister Mahler,
Speaker 7: and when we're in his classroom, he'd ever transist the
Speaker 7: radio and a form guard and when each was stents
Speaker 7: to be quiet and he listened to it. If he won,
Speaker 7: it was all good. But if he lost, okay, oh.
Speaker 1: We just imaged to pick that up with a bad reception.
Speaker 1: But it sounded like you had a heavy gambler as
Speaker 1: a teacher. The keyword the transistor radio.
Speaker 7: And the funny thing was pea ladder. I saw him
Speaker 7: cheese ladder in a football match and went to sate
Speaker 7: Laida women. I had some fish and chips in me in.
Speaker 7: He just wanted to with the chip end of men.
Speaker 1: That's great, Richard, thank you very much for colling in.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend, buddy. It's clock transistor radios. Do
Speaker 1: you remember at footy games you would have had this
Speaker 1: as well before we had phones. How it's the same
Speaker 1: with soccer in the UK on a Saturday afternoon when
Speaker 1: it was all the same, when it was just like
Speaker 1: a Saturday afternoon one kick off three o'clock, the heyday
Speaker 1: of sport, and the only way you would know what
Speaker 1: the other schools were there'd be some loon with the
Speaker 1: transistor radio held to his head. He go well Hampton
Speaker 1: the nosing and people would go yay or depending on
Speaker 1: what the vested intis. Here will be the guy telling
Speaker 1: you what the schools were.
Speaker 3: My dad was the guy with the traveler at local footy.
Speaker 1: Like I said, some loon with a transister radio. We
Speaker 1: all have them. Trevor, Good morning, Good morning, Christian, good
Speaker 1: morning mate, Welcome to the show, Trevor, tell us what
Speaker 1: you're crazy Teacher.
Speaker 6: Nineteen seventy four, Boxhill High School was Form one which
Speaker 6: is now Year seven had a messageacher called Jimmy Duncan
Speaker 6: with the thickest of thickest Scottish accent, so he's hard
Speaker 6: to understand anyway. He'd wander around the classroom and occasionally
Speaker 6: he'd give you a clip around a year hold and
Speaker 6: say you slacker, you slacker, you slacker. But his best
Speaker 6: traite was he'd come in cuffing on a cigarette. He'd
Speaker 6: have a couple of pats and then cut the end
Speaker 6: off the cigarette and then put it back in his pocket.
Speaker 6: Twenty minutes later the same thing. Light up a cigarettes, have.
Speaker 8: A couple of puffs and cut.
Speaker 7: The used big bobs so to speak, back in the pocket.
Speaker 6: You probably did that four or five time during the
Speaker 6: one hour Mets class.
Speaker 1: Amazing. That's great, Trevor. Thank you very much mate. You
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Thanks for caring you too.
Speaker 6: Love the show.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Trevor. Cheers. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show Melbourne's Gold one oh four point.
Speaker 1: Three Friday after eight this morning, not long now, ten
Speaker 1: minutes time. Stand by your phone so it could be
Speaker 1: calling you. You could be getting the five thousand dollar call.
Speaker 1: Last Friday, we had the biggest winner I've ever had
Speaker 1: in my radio career. Do you remember her if you
Speaker 1: were listening, she was incredible, all right, So the five
Speaker 1: thousand dollar call coming up just after eight, ten minutes time.
Speaker 1: So we went crazy teachers right now on the show, Christian.
Speaker 1: I've got a crazy teacher story of o my dad.
Speaker 1: So I went to the same school that my dad
Speaker 1: went to when he was a kid. He had a
Speaker 1: teacher called mister Martin Junior, and he was a horrible
Speaker 1: woodwork teacher. And when my dad was there, sorry, when
Speaker 1: my dad was there, he had mister Martin Sor. I
Speaker 1: was taught by the teacher's son, mister Martin Junior. One
Speaker 1: day at school, my young dad had to keep watch
Speaker 1: for teachers so the other kids could smoke around the
Speaker 1: back of the bike sheds. Mister Martin Senior caught the
Speaker 1: kids smoking, but they all ran off apart from my
Speaker 1: dad who got left behind. Anyway, mister Martin Senior was
Speaker 1: so angry he threw a hammer up my dad, which
Speaker 1: hit the wall next to where my dad was stanning
Speaker 1: eving like an Indian kind of tomahawk.
Speaker 3: Or and why's he got a hammer though, braiding.
Speaker 1: The school grounds with a hammer just in case, and
Speaker 1: he's to throw it at a kid. My dad always
Speaker 1: hated him for this, and he didn't refused to speak
Speaker 1: to his son who taught me mister Martin Junior at
Speaker 1: any parents who did. We got the long hell grudges
Speaker 1: coming into that one as well. Christian we had one
Speaker 1: of those emergency filling teachers. We figured he must have
Speaker 1: This guy we owned for a week, mister Gravestein. Of
Speaker 1: course we called him either mister Gravestone or mister Frankenstein.
Speaker 1: We figured he lived on a farm because he was
Speaker 1: filling and teaching us electronics. One day, for no reason,
Speaker 1: he brought in a huge bucket that held a that
Speaker 1: had a lamp plas center in that he brought in
Speaker 1: frostist Gore pat in the middle of an electronics class,
Speaker 1: a lamb pla center. What where do they get these
Speaker 1: humans from? He used to unleash us. But aren't our
Speaker 1: lies better for these crazy teachers kids? Now, my kids
Speaker 1: don't have any stories like this. These crazy people, with
Speaker 1: these psychos that used to teach us, they make our
Speaker 1: lives better. Lee, good morning Leaf. Sorry, oh sorry, leech, leech,
Speaker 1: thank you calling? And what's your story about a crazy teacher? Well?
Speaker 9: I had a couple. There were quite friendly teachers. Was
Speaker 9: my art teacher mister Jones, very small and wiry, and
Speaker 9: his friend was science teacher whose name I can't remember,
Speaker 9: who was tall and gaunt. And my art teacher mister
Speaker 9: Jones was very enthusiastic, and when he'd get carried away
Speaker 9: into class, he would leap up onto the table and
Speaker 9: stride along them, waving his arms about, occasionally even getting
Speaker 9: into a bit of a jog. But he certainly got
Speaker 9: his points across. And my science teacher used to think
Speaker 9: nothing of hurling chalk or dusters at rocklciltran students and
Speaker 9: I particularly remember one lesson our biology lesson when we
Speaker 9: were dissecting rats and one of the boys was not
Speaker 9: paying attention, so he picked up the rat and threw
Speaker 9: it at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I used to have the flying chalk as well,
Speaker 1: in that big wooden sort of brick that used to
Speaker 1: clean the chalk board with. We had to teach mister
Speaker 1: will and he used to throw it at you. If
Speaker 1: you ducked, you'd have to sit back up and throw
Speaker 1: it at you again until he got a body shot
Speaker 1: on you. All right, least, thank you very much. She
Speaker 1: got time for one last one. Mark, Good morning, Good
Speaker 1: morning Christian and crew. Good morning Crew. Well Mark, well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, very good, thank you. Okay, well she just pulled
Speaker 8: up to work, so I've got a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Good man. Okay, We're happy to kill a few minutes
Speaker 1: with you. What's your crazy teacher story?
Speaker 8: Okay, back a Mountain Gate Primary school forty odd years ago,
Speaker 8: we had a seacher called missus Miller, and she'd get
Speaker 8: us to sit down. She'd pick a student from the class,
Speaker 8: get and to lie on the school table, put a
Speaker 8: sheet up and all you can see the person's feet
Speaker 8: and their head sticking up, and then she pretend to
Speaker 8: remove a bone from their leg and then hold his
Speaker 8: butcher's bone up and scare the pagetas there as a kid,
Speaker 8: and then she pretend to put the bone back in again.
Speaker 3: What was she teaching it was?
Speaker 8: It was a grade one grade too, so there was
Speaker 8: a general general class because I can't I can't remember
Speaker 8: the concept of why do.
Speaker 1: Mark? It was a one woman horror show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: before there was Saw, there was this friend to tay
Speaker 1: for horror movies. Mark, thank you very much for coll mate.
Speaker 1: You have a great weekend thanks to co on the
Speaker 1: show You Do. My daughter Ruby's has texted me going, Dad,
Speaker 1: we're listening right now. On the way to school. We
Speaker 1: did have a crazy teacher. I remember a couple She's
Speaker 1: reminded me of what happened a couple years ago where
Speaker 1: she had nightmares and there were complaints about this. Get this.
Speaker 1: Then there was a humanities teacher back in England who
Speaker 1: thought we had a great idea for a lesson to
Speaker 1: talk about flying and how dangerous it is. They showed
Speaker 1: them the opening twenty minutes of the TV show Lost,
Speaker 1: which has the most graphic plane crash. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: horrific people being ripped out of the seats in the
Speaker 1: sky to a load of then eleven year old girls
Speaker 1: and boys were crying nightmares for weeks. It was a nutma.
Speaker 1: So it's good to know that there are crazy teachers
Speaker 1: still out there.

Speaker 1: Breakfast Show this Morning. Coming up next the newly unemployed
Speaker 1: Shane Crawford, The.
Speaker 2: Christian oho'connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one oh four point three.
Speaker 1: So the big news story today, we're all up to speed.
Speaker 1: It's the footy show. Last night got axed. And obviously
Speaker 1: I came to the country almost a year ago and
Speaker 1: saw what the show was then and then they try
Speaker 1: to revamp it. But I know from everyone talking on
Speaker 1: the team this morning, this is an end of an era.
Speaker 1: This is a TV show that a lot of you
Speaker 1: grew up watching. It was your TV show, and so
Speaker 1: it's it's a moment. And Crawf is in This Morning
Speaker 1: Live right now. You're obviously a massive part of the
Speaker 1: show over the last time.
Speaker 10: I'm responsible for the moment for it being zex. Yes
Speaker 10: that's right, No. Seven hundred and thirty five episodes. It's
Speaker 10: incredible five years and yeah it's all done finished from
Speaker 10: last night.
Speaker 1: So so what happened last night? Because I turned my
Speaker 1: phone on This Morning's Attention to you last night at
Speaker 1: ten thirty five, pretty show's been axed and I said,
Speaker 1: all right, is he after money? Does he want to
Speaker 1: come on five days a week? Now? Does he need
Speaker 1: work on a Thursday night? There's a red rooster hiring
Speaker 1: at the moment for a grill boy.
Speaker 10: I was thinking, I think I I made a quick
Speaker 10: trick back from America just to be part of the.
Speaker 11: Show last night.
Speaker 1: That's amazing commitment.
Speaker 11: Well it is, and I'm thinking, why did I do that?
Speaker 1: I should have just stayed.
Speaker 10: In America a few more weeks off.
Speaker 1: But how did you find out yesterday?
Speaker 11: Well, obviously we did the show because.
Speaker 1: Now and he just signed off and so we see
Speaker 1: you next week. That's us.
Speaker 10: Yes, And I had to do a segment on the show,
Speaker 10: and then had to talk about Ryan Reynolds, which was meant.
Speaker 1: To be a flip Detective pikerchif stuff, that's all you've
Speaker 1: been training for like three weeks. And then my Reican
Speaker 1: Detective Pikachu has killed the foot shot.
Speaker 10: Possibly, Yes, you're right, And then we spoke about the
Speaker 10: Kentucky Derby, and then I thought, I'm going to go
Speaker 10: home now again.
Speaker 1: All the big sort of AFL talking points up. Detective Pikachu.
Speaker 1: Why did the show get asked?
Speaker 10: That's a very good point. Actually, when you you should
Speaker 10: be producing this show. So then I've gone home and
Speaker 10: then I'm actually lying down, almost asleep in my phone
Speaker 10: rang and I'm like, I never normally had my phone on.
Speaker 10: I normally turn it off, and I'm like, hang on,
Speaker 10: that's the boss from Channel Line.
Speaker 1: Never a good call, lett know. I like, what have
Speaker 1: I done? America? Wasn't that bad?
Speaker 10: And then I thought, do I ring him back? No,
Speaker 10: I'll ring him in the morning. I'll just let him
Speaker 10: hang for a bit. And I thought, no, actually no,
Speaker 10: I'll ring him now. And he just said, yeah, I've
Speaker 10: just had a meeting with everyone, called all the workers,
Speaker 10: all the cast, and just told them that the show's
Speaker 10: been sacked. And I went, okay, interesting, Can I go
Speaker 10: back to bed now? I'm very tired, a bit jet legged.
Speaker 11: So yeah, So it's an end of an era, which
Speaker 11: is it's very sad.
Speaker 1: N see at the fault of any of the team
Speaker 1: that they tried to use as well. I thought, I
Speaker 1: thought it was a good show and they did the best.
Speaker 11: No, this year, it was we all knew behind the scenes.
Speaker 10: This year was trying to stem the fly because I've
Speaker 10: been dropping over the last few years.
Speaker 11: We've had a lot of change and.
Speaker 1: The last biscaping TV and the front bar has come
Speaker 1: along in the last couple of years. It's changed, TV
Speaker 1: has changed and how people watching now. From when you
Speaker 1: launched twenty five years ago.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it used to be crazy, out of control and.
Speaker 1: That would have been the only footy show. There was
Speaker 1: no competition or.
Speaker 11: No, that's right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, back then there's only a couple of channels. These
Speaker 10: days there's fifty zousand channels and obviously mobile phones and
Speaker 10: so forth. So you're just trying to do your best.
Speaker 10: We're trying to stem the flow. And then a lot
Speaker 10: of change and viewers, you know, they've been so loyal
Speaker 10: to that show for a long long time, and eventually
Speaker 10: you just go, Okay, it's time to move on.
Speaker 11: Everything's gone in a different direction.
Speaker 10: So it was all about trying to stem the flow,
Speaker 10: hang in there and then hopefully rebuild. But look that
Speaker 10: the ratings were just dropping off each week dramatically, and
Speaker 10: in TV, especially with a big station like Channel Line,
Speaker 10: it's just unacceptable.
Speaker 11: So we all knew it. It wasn't a surprise.
Speaker 1: If you weren't surprised and you found out last night.
Speaker 11: No, not at all.
Speaker 10: I was surprised that the show went on this year
Speaker 10: because you know, the last few years it had been
Speaker 10: dropping away. But you know, I give a lot of
Speaker 10: credit to Limo and Narrowly for putting their hand up
Speaker 10: and say look, we'll try.
Speaker 1: And TV to take on. I don't think anyone could
Speaker 1: have done a different job exactly.
Speaker 10: So probably the saddest thing is the people behind the scenes.
Speaker 10: Some of them have been there for twenty five years,
Speaker 10: working so hard in putting a show together, and not
Speaker 10: only that a live shot, which is not easy to do.
Speaker 1: But I'm sanny a show that did a lot of
Speaker 1: good things as well, with some of the stuff you
Speaker 1: did on thore was incredible, really funny bits.
Speaker 11: Well, there was a couple.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like a pause, right, let me clear the
Speaker 1: app break. When you come back, have a think. I
Speaker 1: want to know what your top five footy show moments.
Speaker 1: You're putting me under pressure, Okay, I won't to give
Speaker 1: you five minutes, okay, And if you're seriously, if you've
Speaker 1: got any work on a Thursday night because Crawf is
Speaker 1: free now the rest of the season.
Speaker 11: I don't. I don't. I'd like to just go on
Speaker 11: a long holiday already had one.
Speaker 1: You're in the jungle for four or five weeks. You
Speaker 1: come back, you go and hang out with Detective Pikachew.
Speaker 1: Then it's off to Kentucky.
Speaker 10: I have but yeah, I've been to South Africa. I've
Speaker 10: been to Tokyo, I've been America.
Speaker 1: Where can I go? Next? Home to your four Boys?
Speaker 11: Good point?
Speaker 1: All right, We're back with Crawff.
Speaker 2: Next the Christian O'Connell breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one oh
Speaker 2: four point three.
Speaker 1: All right, I guess like it is every Friday on
Speaker 1: the show. Our AFL guy Shane Crawford is with us
Speaker 1: just before we go to the news, and I've asked
Speaker 1: to come up with his top five footy shown moments,
Speaker 1: So let's do. Uh, let's do. Let's do two of
Speaker 1: the five now before we break for the headlines.
Speaker 11: I've got no order. It's just, you know, memories, just
Speaker 11: memories that come to me.
Speaker 10: Probably probably one thing which I thought was extremely controversial
Speaker 10: and I was very embarrassed the time I accidentally pulled
Speaker 10: Sam Newman's pants down and they got a full, full
Speaker 10: close up of you know what, TV Live on team
Speaker 10: What do.
Speaker 1: You mean a full closer? Do you mean boxer shorts
Speaker 1: or no? What's in the cave.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know what, there wasn't much in the
Speaker 10: cave because because it was a bit scared.
Speaker 11: To come out and say hello.
Speaker 1: So at the time little Sam was sleeping.
Speaker 11: No, so what happened.
Speaker 10: Sam was giving me a hard time about Hawthorne throwing
Speaker 10: the match to Freemantle, which obviously wasn't true. And he
Speaker 10: stood there in his Freemantle gear and I thought, oh,
Speaker 10: I'll pull his pants down and obviously leave his unders.
Speaker 1: It's a classic way to deal with a hackler, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's a any hell move we call it.
Speaker 10: It's a footy tradition, locker room tradition, you know. So
Speaker 10: then he just stood there with his pants.
Speaker 11: Down, but he's blue undies on. I think I'm blue.
Speaker 10: And then he just kept his hands up and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 10: maybe I'll go for the undies.
Speaker 11: No, don't do that.
Speaker 10: And normally in a footy club when you go for
Speaker 10: the undies, you always sort of try and cover yourself
Speaker 10: and you know, being respectful for others.
Speaker 1: Newman.
Speaker 10: So by then all the camera moon there's about five
Speaker 10: or six they zoomed in onto Sam's package underneath his undies.
Speaker 1: There's a phrase, no guy wants to head that we
Speaker 1: had to zoom in.
Speaker 11: One pixel.
Speaker 1: Apparently that's exclusive today on the show.
Speaker 10: And then as I went for the undies, I thought,
Speaker 10: surely Sam's going to go and cover, but his hands
Speaker 10: stayed up. Being a bit older, he's reflexes were a
Speaker 10: little slow, so his hands are up. So pants come down.
Speaker 10: Close up of the package, very small package, and she
Speaker 10: was an Innie, not an Audy.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 10: And then I look over and Eddie Maguire is rolling
Speaker 10: on the ground in laughter, and I'm the Captain of
Speaker 10: Hawthorne thinking, oh no, I've just oh no, I'm in
Speaker 10: massive trouble.
Speaker 11: And do you know what happened after the show?
Speaker 10: Like for the rest of the show, we had our
Speaker 10: best show ever because Trevor Marmalay brought out all these
Speaker 10: all these jokes that you could possibly bring out at
Speaker 10: that time, and Sam was super embarrassed. Sam got in
Speaker 10: trouble by all the media.
Speaker 1: Well like a Janet Jackson could a nipplegate.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I somehow got out of it. I thought Hawthorne
Speaker 10: were going to get rid of me as the captain.
Speaker 10: No one said a thing, and the bosses at channel
Speaker 10: Line said, we'll talk to you in the morning and
Speaker 10: I'm like, I'm gonna get sacked again.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get sacked.
Speaker 10: And do you know what happened? They rang and said,
Speaker 10: that's all right, keep up the good work.
Speaker 11: That was the Footy Show. Imagine if I.
Speaker 1: Did that time. Oh my god. Yeah, all right, we'll
Speaker 1: take it. We'll come back with talking about.
Speaker 2: The The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one oh
Speaker 2: four point three.
Speaker 1: So the big story this weekend is last night the
Speaker 1: axing of end of an era the Footy Show. Rub
Speaker 1: it in, you know, just just just you know, just
Speaker 1: recapping what a moment it is and the guy who
Speaker 1: no one did more to try and save that show
Speaker 1: than the guy who, in the last two weeks has
Speaker 1: been to Kentucky and also a week before that hanging
Speaker 1: out with Detective Pikachu.
Speaker 10: What Ryan Reynolds killed the Footy Show? Did you try
Speaker 10: his interview last night? He may he may be selling
Speaker 10: movies all around the world, but.
Speaker 1: He killed our detective Picchu. Do you reckon? He's going
Speaker 1: to get doorstep by TMZ the next hour going you
Speaker 1: know you killed the Footy Show? Comments?
Speaker 10: Please Ryan, Seriously, He's he needs to feel very guilty
Speaker 10: about all this.
Speaker 1: All right, So obviously you when was the first time
Speaker 1: you would have been a player? When you first appeared
Speaker 1: on that show?
Speaker 10: Yeah, my I got asked to be on the pedal.
Speaker 10: I've never done much TV any really.
Speaker 1: And how old are you? Then had the.
Speaker 10: Peroxide blonde hair, sort of part down the middle, sort
Speaker 10: of the McDonald's sort of shape. I've seen that look
Speaker 10: undercut rats tail. Maybe it was a look back in
Speaker 10: the day, thinking I was pretty cool and had an
Speaker 10: opportunity to be part of the Footae Show because I
Speaker 10: loved watching the footy show. The Footy Show for me
Speaker 10: was great entertainment, footy, but real light entertainment. And I
Speaker 10: just remember sitting on the panel having no idea what
Speaker 10: to do. There was five or six cameras everywhere. I
Speaker 10: wasn't sure do I look at the camera?
Speaker 11: What do I do? I do I have a chat.
Speaker 1: With a panel for your first appearance.
Speaker 11: I probably did it for I probably paid them. It
Speaker 11: wouldn't have been much.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but that's where I fell in love with, you know,
Speaker 10: making TV and being a part of TV and entertaining,
Speaker 10: having a live audience and getting real reactions. That's when
Speaker 10: you know things are going well. That hasn't been too
Speaker 10: many lasts recently, but that's when you know, you know.
Speaker 1: So what's another highlight for you? Because you just did
Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff on that show.
Speaker 10: For me was Proba one of the charity run from
Speaker 10: Adelaide and then a couple of years later we followed
Speaker 10: up with the ride across a nuther Bar So that
Speaker 10: was for Breast Cancer Network Australia and these I just
Speaker 10: it was very hard, but these are ideas that I
Speaker 10: sort of presented. I said I'd like to do this,
Speaker 10: this is something that I'd love to be a part of.
Speaker 10: And Channel Line really backed me in the Footy show.
Speaker 10: And I remember a guy called Cliffy Young and he
Speaker 10: used to do the Ultra marathon races from Sydney to
Speaker 10: Melbourne and they used to run in gum boots, shuffle
Speaker 10: along the highway.
Speaker 1: He was a potato Sydney from Sydney Totain.
Speaker 11: He was a potato farmer from Colak So.
Speaker 10: I grew up a little country town and obviosly only
Speaker 10: have a couple of channels used to follow it every
Speaker 10: year and we'll go over five or six nights that
Speaker 10: they have the caravan behind them, and I always thought
Speaker 10: I want to do something like that, so I was
Speaker 10: allowed to obviously do something from a charity point of view,
Speaker 10: connecting with the country towns along the way and raising money,
Speaker 10: but you know, giving a lot of hope. That was
Speaker 10: something that I'm very, very proud of and I'll never
Speaker 10: forget the time that I ran from Madelaide to Melbourne
Speaker 10: finally got here thankfully, and Jimmy Stein's, the great Jimmy Steins,
Speaker 10: who was a Melbourne legend. He was battling cancer at
Speaker 10: the time and it was a really emotional show, so
Speaker 10: he was on prior to and Gary Lyne, who was
Speaker 10: one of the hosts of the time. You know, he
Speaker 10: was extremely emotional.
Speaker 1: Sam new video of that. I started to tear up.
Speaker 1: It was an amazing moment of you.
Speaker 10: And then at the end when I came in to
Speaker 10: finish the run, this wasn't a dry eye in the
Speaker 10: house and it was Yeah, it was. It was something
Speaker 10: really really special and obviously, you know, to make things
Speaker 10: like that happen these days almost impossible, but something that
Speaker 10: I was very proud of.
Speaker 1: Yes, incredible, because it's so hard when he had all
Speaker 1: the success you had as a play. It's very hard
Speaker 1: for players then to get excitement again anywhere near that.
Speaker 1: And you were lucky with getting involved with the footage show.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah.
Speaker 10: A lot of people go out, you know, do you
Speaker 10: like being on TV? And I said, only if I'm
Speaker 10: entertaining or interesting, you know, or we're doing something that
Speaker 10: people are going to connect with. I don't want to
Speaker 10: be on there for the sake of being on there.
Speaker 10: So that was always a great challenge with the Footagher
Speaker 10: and I remember early on I'd drive in and think, oh,
Speaker 10: how good is this.
Speaker 11: I don't know what's going to happen. You weren't allowed
Speaker 11: a part of meetings, so that's when you knew something
Speaker 11: was going on.
Speaker 1: It's love TV. People notice there's not much love TV anything.
Speaker 10: When we make a lot of mistakes, we also get
Speaker 10: things right every now and then.
Speaker 11: So that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 10: The world record attempts, I come up with an idea
Speaker 10: where we'd have a cracket some world records, silly, ridiculous
Speaker 10: world records that we're probably going to fail.
Speaker 1: How many do you actually hold? About five or six?
Speaker 10: Yes, not something that I've really proud of, to be honest,
Speaker 10: because they're all stupid. But the pie in the face
Speaker 10: one that I went for, I had Sam human. It
Speaker 10: had to hit his face from about three or four
Speaker 10: meters away. It was a big cream pies and I
Speaker 10: think the record was about forty or fifty. But at
Speaker 10: the end of it, I turned the audience into a
Speaker 10: big cream mess. So I had the biggest food fight
Speaker 10: we've ever had. It costs thousands and thousands of dollars
Speaker 10: on the set. I didn't get the bill back then
Speaker 10: channel Line would fit. Things have changed recently because they
Speaker 10: start sending you the bill these days. That's why I'm like,
Speaker 10: I'm not messing up anything. I'm not doing anything untowards.
Speaker 10: So that was a lot of fun and House of
Speaker 10: Bulger where we made a set which looked like the
Speaker 10: Ball and the Beautiful and we all thought that we
Speaker 10: could act when we were absolutely horrendous, and just the
Speaker 10: interaction with you know, your panel and your host, and
Speaker 10: that's what it was all about.
Speaker 11: It was all about the connection and fun.
Speaker 10: We'd have a go at each other that we we
Speaker 10: might have a beer or a drink after and a
Speaker 10: chat and then we all head off and it was
Speaker 10: always a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: So what are you going to do now, AFL Putty
Speaker 1: is in your blood, My life's not. Are you going
Speaker 1: to what are you going to do?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 10: I'm still contracted to Channel nine for the next couple
Speaker 10: of years, so.
Speaker 1: We're going to see you in the background of like
Speaker 1: Lego Masters cleaning up the bricks.
Speaker 11: So I'm going to be an extra on every show.
Speaker 10: I was still going to Sydney on Sundays for Sports Sunday,
Speaker 10: and I'm going to do some stuff for the Today Show.
Speaker 10: And yeah, this year, for me, I knew that we were,
Speaker 10: you know, walking on very thin ice, so I knew
Speaker 10: it was going to be.
Speaker 11: A bit of a struggle. So it's no surprise.
Speaker 1: And will you ever do another footy show again?
Speaker 11: Well, what do you mean, like like the one we've
Speaker 11: just been doing.
Speaker 1: Ye, like a different one, a new one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, possibly, maybe something on a Sunday night. I think
Speaker 10: there's a gap there. So but that's that's a long
Speaker 10: way down the track, and I think we just need
Speaker 10: to let the dust settle and hopefully we can work
Speaker 10: on something in the not too distant future. But we've
Speaker 10: just got to celebrate twenty five years and seven hundred
Speaker 10: and thirty five incredible episodes of Live Crazy TV. And
Speaker 10: you know, there's no doubt Sam Newman was. He was
Speaker 10: the reason people watched because he was so unusual and weird.
Speaker 11: He looks weird, all.
Speaker 10: That plastic surgery. But we loved him and he was
Speaker 10: he was great for our show.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, we'll take a break when we come back,
Speaker 1: then we'll finally get around to talk about this weekend's footy.
Speaker 1: How the fact the Hawks lost against the I haven't
Speaker 1: forgotten from last weekend.
Speaker 11: I've lost my moa, The.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold one oh four point three.
Speaker 1: We're back now where Shane Crawford, Detective Picachu's best friend.
Speaker 11: He's just text me. Ryan Reynolds has just text me.
Speaker 10: He said, sorry, I've got you a part in my
Speaker 10: next movie, dead Pool three, whatever character you would like.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this weekend's action. Then what
Speaker 1: do you think about this weekd First of all, we
Speaker 1: should talk about Roughhead been down.
Speaker 10: That's Jared Rufford being dropped from the Hawks team. He
Speaker 10: was captain last year. He's played well over two hundred games.
Speaker 10: He's a sensational player. But yeah, the little angry coach
Speaker 10: has decided, now, I'm not happy with the performance lost
Speaker 10: to your team last week in the dying minutes of course,
Speaker 10: so yes, he said no, I'm not going to accept that, and.
Speaker 11: He'll bring some young kids in some enthusiasm.
Speaker 10: What that does is when you're op a scene you
Speaker 10: play like that, everyone stands up nice and straight because
Speaker 10: they know that they could be.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 10: So they could actually be half a chance against GWS
Speaker 10: this week. The Hawks, especially when you make a statement
Speaker 10: like that, Richmond are playing Freemantle. Richmond are outside is
Speaker 10: against free me free Metal. They're traveling west, so it
Speaker 10: is an advantage to free Metal, but they're Freemantle, like Freeman.
Speaker 1: That good. Come on, let's get you squinched your face
Speaker 1: out and then spart.
Speaker 11: Those rich Men. They are a good team. They had
Speaker 11: a shoka last week. And when we have a shoka,
Speaker 11: what do we do.
Speaker 10: We look in the mirror and we go yep, okay,
Speaker 10: I need to fix a few things, and that's what
Speaker 10: you do. So I'm expecting Richmond as outsiders to go
Speaker 10: over there and get the job done. So get them
Speaker 10: into your footed tips. Carlton Collingwood two arch rivals. I
Speaker 10: think it'll be reasonably competitive, calling it a win. But
Speaker 10: everyone thinks it's going to be a wiping. I don't
Speaker 10: think so. I think it'll be reasonably competitive. And Sydney
Speaker 10: is it in your mob. Sydney desperately need to in Esterton,
Speaker 10: need to continue a bit of momentum. So that's set
Speaker 10: the CG tonight. You have to go up there and
Speaker 10: get the job done.
Speaker 1: Jack.
Speaker 3: It's weird to see Swans on the bottom of the ladder,
Speaker 3: isn't it, because.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but it's also nice.
Speaker 1: It's not the D's anymore. There's actually I think two
Speaker 1: teams beneath us now, whereas we've been right down the bottom.
Speaker 1: Then I think it's good to.
Speaker 11: Have different teams down the bottom when.
Speaker 3: You start counting how many teams are under you, you know.
Speaker 1: That's how the d season's gone so far.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 10: But they had a win last week. Yeah, so you
Speaker 10: just never know the second half of the season might
Speaker 10: be positive. And if anyone out there is listening, I'm
Speaker 10: looking for a job, preferably not on a shovels.
Speaker 1: All right, Cora, listen, thank you very much for coming in.
Speaker 1: Well done for all the great TV you would have
Speaker 1: given people, and so much joy on that show. You
Speaker 1: should be very proud of it. There are not many
Speaker 1: TV shows. When you hear when you heard, you say
Speaker 1: it's been on for twenty five years. There won't be
Speaker 1: another TV show that has a twenty five year run.
Speaker 1: The world of TV has just changed now and evolved,
Speaker 1: and how we do TV has got to change as well.
Speaker 1: But mate, you should be very proud of what you
Speaker 1: did on that show and that that final interview that
Speaker 1: is your your way out. Yesterday we're Detective Pika two

Speaker 1: this one. But I'm talking about grudges that you've held.
Speaker 1: It's kind of silly, but I held a bit of
Speaker 1: a grudge against you and Jack. What did we do
Speaker 1: Jimer last year? Elton OK, We've given away Elton John
Speaker 1: tickets and you just had to sing. Whilst I know
Speaker 1: that simply getting through did not guarant teamy to win.
Speaker 1: I was very upset when you chose creativity over talent,
Speaker 1: and that was your wording, not mine. Thinking back, I
Speaker 1: think it was this. I badly wanted to win, to
Speaker 1: take my mum to go and see Elton John. But
Speaker 1: I met I held a grudge for quite a while
Speaker 1: and I stopped listening.
Speaker 3: I do remember what he's talking about. We I think
Speaker 3: we awarded winners sometimes even if their pitch wasn't perfect,
Speaker 3: if they just gave it one hundred percent sotaly.
Speaker 1: Although I will I admit it was never enough to
Speaker 1: stop me listening for long. I came back. I still
Speaker 1: enjoy the show, and you please to know I forgive
Speaker 1: you both. Hang on a minute, listen, Flinky. All right,
Speaker 1: you can head back to somewhere else. I'm not apologizing.
Speaker 1: I stand by that, Matthew. Flink. Let me make it
Speaker 1: clear again. You weren't good enough to get the Elton
Speaker 1: John tickets, okay, and you're not getting a mug. I
Speaker 1: do not negotiate with terrorists, okay. End off, Matthew. If
