Speaker 1: Keep the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 2: So let's make sure if there are elderly people or
Speaker 2: anyone who's a bit more vulnerable at the moment for
Speaker 2: one reason or another, and we know where they live
Speaker 2: in our streets or areas, and we do we're asking
Speaker 2: them are they okay? And do they need help? If
Speaker 2: you've got any I'm not even joking out, have you
Speaker 2: even got some spare low role for them? Because if
Speaker 2: you're older, what about you know single parents as well?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 2: If they have to stay at home and don't go
Speaker 2: to work, you know, they need to work to earn money,
Speaker 2: but they can't get childcare or even afford childcare. How
Speaker 2: are they meant to afford food to get through the
Speaker 2: two weeks. That's what I'm starting to think now is
Speaker 2: these people we need to know about them. We need
Speaker 2: to make sure that we can support them as well.
Speaker 2: All Right, it's twenty minutes past seven, so over the
Speaker 2: weekend you've probably had some of these conversations as well.
Speaker 3: If you've got kids.
Speaker 2: My wife said, hey, listen, we need to be ready
Speaker 2: if we do go into self isolation. You know, what
Speaker 2: are we going to do to keep ourselves occupied and
Speaker 2: the kids occupied. My wife also told me in the
Speaker 2: same conversation that not to expect any presents or anything
Speaker 2: on my birthday April the seventh.
Speaker 4: I mean she said, you guys, she were not safe
Speaker 4: for me to hang out with you guys and have
Speaker 4: a long lunch either. I understand why you wouldn't have
Speaker 4: a party, but why no presents.
Speaker 5: I think she just used she still go now get
Speaker 5: stop stop Bubba gifts. Now, cancel April.
Speaker 2: The seventh, So listen, guys, date for your diary. Cancel
Speaker 2: April seven, April the seventh, My birthday is not happening.
Speaker 2: The other thing is right, and the kids were going now,
Speaker 2: but normally you go away for a night to the
Speaker 2: hotel room, and obviously I was looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: My wife went not happening, and then elder's teenage daugh
Speaker 2: to fifteen and goes, maybe, though's like, could just go
Speaker 2: to the over opposite for.
Speaker 3: An hour, leave.
Speaker 4: Take your head both.
Speaker 3: Wife goes to me later. That means they know I went,
Speaker 3: I'm spoilering up fifteen and thirteen. They really worked out.
Speaker 3: We've done it at least twice because they exist anyway.
Speaker 2: My wife is installed me yesterday of head Off Isolation Entertainment.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we've got Netflix, got the Internet, we got streaming,
Speaker 2: Disney stand everything like that. She said, we need to
Speaker 2: do other stuff that is involved sitting in front of
Speaker 2: the TV. So today I'm going to go and buy
Speaker 2: a table tennis table, cleared out space in the garage
Speaker 2: two weeks I'm going to come an amazing table tennis player,
Speaker 2: and so are those kids.
Speaker 4: First of all, must have taken you the whole weekend
Speaker 4: to clear out that garage.
Speaker 3: I played for a card off note.
Speaker 2: I had to clean out. I had to go to
Speaker 2: the tip twice that do two separate tip runs. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm buying today. And also is another thing we need
Speaker 2: to do. The supermarkets obviously are getting their support at
Speaker 2: the moment, let's make sure we are where possible supporting
Speaker 2: local as well, because the local little businesses and companies
Speaker 2: are going to be really hardy.
Speaker 4: Here local table tennis store, and I want to find
Speaker 4: out where if there is a local place so I
Speaker 4: can go and buy the table tennis table rather than
Speaker 4: just getting one easily on Amazon or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Is there any where local that someone knows with that
Speaker 2: I could get a table tennis. I did have a
Speaker 2: look yesterday on like Kmart and also Rebel Sports as well.
Speaker 3: But here's what happens.
Speaker 2: Because everyone's a reviewer and a critic these days, they're
Speaker 2: too many opinions. I don't know whether the three point
Speaker 2: fifty or the seven hundred. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: difference is between those two table tennis. Is that to
Speaker 2: do with the thickness of the felt? Is it on
Speaker 2: the top of it or the size of it.
Speaker 3: I couldn't work it out. So if anyone's got any
Speaker 3: table tennis advice, I'm buying one today.
Speaker 4: Well, keeping it inside is the first bit of advice
Speaker 4: I can give you, because our family invested in table
Speaker 4: tennis table one summer and we kept it outside and
Speaker 4: then it would warp in the rain, so it became
Speaker 4: more and more difficult every time we played to play
Speaker 4: because you're playing on an uneven surface.
Speaker 2: Now I need to know if anyone's got any advice
Speaker 2: about a good table tennis or if you're selling one
Speaker 2: in country, can I come around and sterilize it and
Speaker 2: then take it away. The other thing is that I
Speaker 2: need your advice. I need to get some new board games.
Speaker 2: We've got that great one. What's the try ticket to Ride?
Speaker 3: We still play that? Yeah, awesome game. Have you got
Speaker 3: any more recommendation of it?
Speaker 4: I can make you a list up? Could yet?
Speaker 2: Also Jack, Jack's got these great board games. By the way,
Speaker 2: we put that list online because people now should be
Speaker 2: thinking ahead about what you're going to do for entertainment.
Speaker 2: So yeah, today I'm going to buy a table tennis
Speaker 2: table and I need to get some more board games
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll find out about Jack and Pat's weekend next.
Speaker 1: Christ John O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 3: All right, Patsy, what's the song that sums up your weekend? Mate?
Speaker 3: What's it for you?
Speaker 6: Undoubtedly has to be this one today. So got a
Speaker 6: taste of the self isolation at the weekend, and this
Speaker 6: is what we were treated to because of course our
Speaker 6: eight year old has taken up very seriously this year violin.
Speaker 6: So this is what we had all weekend, all weekend.
Speaker 3: That is the sound of hell.
Speaker 6: And I thought, if this is our oh isolation for
Speaker 6: the next days weeks, maybe Mum pray for Patsy.
Speaker 4: What song is this meant to be?
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, you never recognize it. It's just the
Speaker 3: sound of Hell.
Speaker 7: This is a self titled track, new.
Speaker 2: Material you never want to hear and now my new one.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it's really frenzied if she's really excited.
Speaker 3: Do you know what, Patsy, when we give away prizes anymore? Right?
Speaker 3: Cue up that violin music? Try it right now? You've
Speaker 3: won the ten k never beat guarantee. What are you
Speaker 3: going to do with the money?
Speaker 7: Trash every violin that exists? So how how are we
Speaker 7: going to get through that?
Speaker 2: I tell you how? All Right, kids are worried at
Speaker 2: the moment, use that against them. Okay, say that violins
Speaker 2: spread the virus that I have it locked away until
Speaker 2: the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Okay, But christ John O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 3: I just add this email from Jackie. This is interesting.
Speaker 2: Right now, My son is in home isolation waiting for
Speaker 2: his COVID nineteen results, which are pretty confident will come
Speaker 2: back clear. He is an asthmatic, which always flares up
Speaker 2: when he has a cold or virus. Because they were
Speaker 2: a little bit with asthma, it's currently unwell. He is
Speaker 2: the father of two boys, two and six months old.
Speaker 2: His wife stocked up on medications to keep him through
Speaker 2: this expert of quarantine. When she bought extra panadole medication,
Speaker 2: she was given the evil eye by the girl behind
Speaker 2: the counter. She didn't clean them out, she just wanted
Speaker 2: to make sure that they had enough to get him
Speaker 2: through his quarantine, his isolation. Could you ask your listeners
Speaker 2: please please be aware that if people are buying stuff,
Speaker 2: they might not just be being greedy. It might be
Speaker 2: that they actually need it right now, especially when it
Speaker 2: comes to medications. Be kind and courteous to stop fighting
Speaker 2: over groceries. I hope gold come to the party and
Speaker 2: keep your air. You guys are a home bit of
Speaker 2: laughter medicine for us. That's some Jackie Jackie. We are
Speaker 2: doing everything we can to.
Speaker 3: Stay on it. I'm sure we will be staying on air.
Speaker 4: Christian made a great point to me before the show
Speaker 4: as well. Pat imagine somebody like Eric. We talked to
Speaker 4: him last week. He's got eleven kids. Yeah, him going
Speaker 4: to the supermarket looks like he's stucking up, but he's
Speaker 4: just doing the regular shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: All right, So over the weekend a lot of us
Speaker 2: would have changed our plans. There are thousands of you
Speaker 2: who were excited about going to the formula one here
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Obviously that got counseled and no fans,
Speaker 2: so you would have done something else. I was suppose
Speaker 2: about the grand Prix yesterday. Instead, my wife was delighted
Speaker 2: that I now had a gap in the diary, and
Speaker 2: that means it's filled with stuff to do, and that
Speaker 2: meant we went to Kmart to apparently stock up on
Speaker 2: stuff around the house.
Speaker 3: This is my wife. My wife actually lives for stuff
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: The Chipmunk kids came with us. They were like, they
Speaker 2: love their photos girl shoppings Camart. Right, it's cheap, right,
Speaker 2: so they go, it's.
Speaker 3: Only one buck, dad, what's your problem?
Speaker 2: You know everything's under like ten bucks there, so he
Speaker 2: doesn't really peak any interest. They convinced me yesterday that
Speaker 2: what they would need and even laid down for my
Speaker 2: mental health, was two brand new beanbags. We don't have
Speaker 2: any beanbags. If we're in isolation, we need to be
Speaker 2: so we got bean bags and the other thing with
Speaker 2: my wife, you'll have to do.
Speaker 4: Have you put the beans in yet? They go every
Speaker 4: oh my god, that's a nightmare.
Speaker 3: This morning. This morning at half form creeper in the house,
Speaker 3: there's those loose beads everywhere everywhere. If you ever try
Speaker 3: to fill up a bean bag.
Speaker 4: I can't that. I regretted it immediately buying it. Nothing.
Speaker 5: It sticks in the bag as well. You have to
Speaker 5: shake it the static or whatever. It's the hardest thing.
Speaker 4: I didn't know if anyone knows a foolproof way to
Speaker 4: pour beans into the bag and not get any loose balls.
Speaker 2: I would like to dog was like licking them up,
Speaker 2: thinking they like little minty treats or something. The thing
Speaker 2: with that that she also got and had to build
Speaker 2: yesterday and it took me an hour to put it
Speaker 2: Together's like sixty separate parts and screws and rods, a
Speaker 2: three shelf clothes dryer era. When I wheeled it into
Speaker 2: the utility to show my wife an hour later, after
Speaker 2: a lot of heavy duty swearing.
Speaker 3: You actually want this? Oh my god, Christy, you got me.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. This is gonna be She actually said this first.
Speaker 3: This is gonna be revolutionary.
Speaker 7: It will, It'll change your life. They're amazing how you
Speaker 7: try and close. They're brilliant. They're brilliant.
Speaker 3: Have you got one?
Speaker 7: Yes, I've got one, But there's a.
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 3: The three shelves? Amazing?
Speaker 7: It is, but it's got to do that's the trouble.
Speaker 7: It's not like one of those foldable ones you can
Speaker 7: shove behind the.
Speaker 4: Door, Pats we still use just throw it over the
Speaker 4: back of a chair. That's how I dry my t
Speaker 4: shirt too much.
Speaker 6: But you know what the best Christmas I ever had
Speaker 6: one year was Mum and Dad bought me one of
Speaker 6: those laundry trolleys that you put the basket to take
Speaker 6: your laundry.
Speaker 2: Outside of hashtag best Christmas ever. All right, so what
Speaker 2: were you supposed to be doing over the weekend? What
Speaker 2: did you end up doing?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: I was supposed to be the Grand Prix ended up
Speaker 2: making a three shelf clothes dry Era.
Speaker 3: What about you?
Speaker 1: The christ John O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I mean, you may have found that we've been googling
Speaker 2: over this weekend in extraordinary times has been all over
Speaker 2: the place. I googled at one point how to work
Speaker 2: from home. I mean to me, it's just sit on
Speaker 2: my backside like I do here mumbling into a microphone.
Speaker 3: There's no real big change and how to work from home.
Speaker 3: The other one was homemade hand sanitizer.
Speaker 7: Oh yes, I look that up. Would you you can't
Speaker 7: get any alcohol for it.
Speaker 3: Now, that's it. The big thing is alcohol.
Speaker 4: Well you're going to make it up, cook it up
Speaker 4: in a cauldron and make your own hand sanitizer.
Speaker 2: Oh a pan, you say cauldron? I mean maybe that's
Speaker 2: so North Melbourne hips the thing. We don't have pants.
Speaker 2: We've got cauldrons of various sizes. But yeah, alcohols. There
Speaker 2: are all these other recipes, but they're all the main
Speaker 2: core ingredient is alcohol, isn't it, Pats it is. That's
Speaker 2: so funny that you also googled home recipes for handmade sanitizer.
Speaker 3: Are you going to make some?
Speaker 6: No, because I can't get my hand on, Well, just
Speaker 6: get some cheap vodka, do you reckon?
Speaker 7: Vodka would work?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? We have people in the people use it sometimes
Speaker 3: to sterilized wounds quickly.
Speaker 7: Really, now you've been watching too many war movies.
Speaker 3: I'm turning it out. People back me up on this.
Speaker 2: It can sterilize a wound quickly with alcohol, right, what
Speaker 2: It's a sterilizing agent, so definitely do that.
Speaker 3: It's just very expensive hand sometime it here on baside,
Speaker 3: we just use four coming.
Speaker 2: All right, So the big thing you actually want to
Speaker 2: talk all of a sudden I was just mentioning how
Speaker 2: I got a yet to get bean bags for kids
Speaker 2: over the weekend, because they're going to need these if
Speaker 2: they have to isolate home for two weeks.
Speaker 3: And I didn't realize how hard it is to.
Speaker 2: Put the the bags of the actual those little white little.
Speaker 4: Balls, parly styrene balls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sort of cling. They don't want to get
Speaker 3: in that bag.
Speaker 4: They don't even first they want to come out of
Speaker 4: their plastic bag. They think to the side of that.
Speaker 4: Then they like to float just anywhere. They're not they
Speaker 4: don't have any rules of gravity apply, No, they don't.
Speaker 2: And then the static of them just stay at the
Speaker 2: sides and they get absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 6: One.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking about shoving the actual plastic bag.
Speaker 3: They came in in the bean bag, I know, but
Speaker 3: they don't want to come out.
Speaker 2: Patsy, it's impossible. I couldn't work out a good way
Speaker 2: to do it. There was three of us trying to
Speaker 2: sort it out, all bickering with each other. You hold
Speaker 2: the bag, which bit of the bag, the outside bean bag,
Speaker 2: the bean bag, all the actual thing going in?
Speaker 3: Dom? What should I have done?
Speaker 8: Good morning Dom, Good morning Creasing, Good morning everyone. Your
Speaker 8: bean bag wills be gone. I tell you do it
Speaker 8: this way, and you're not going to look back. Slash
Speaker 8: the top of the bag, open, stick the entire thing,
Speaker 8: insert it nice and deeply into the bean bag itself.
Speaker 3: I did that right.
Speaker 8: Hold the tip at the base of it so you're
Speaker 8: holding the tip of it at the bottom end. You
Speaker 8: zip it up halfway. Gently, jiggle it and tickle it
Speaker 8: and wiggle them out and you'll get them all in
Speaker 8: without any on your floor.
Speaker 2: Two things here, Dom, if someone's just tuned in, they're
Speaker 2: going to be thinking, what are they talking about this.
Speaker 3: Morning on the show?
Speaker 1: Is this.
Speaker 8: A retraction, so you know, come on, okay. The other
Speaker 8: thing is I kept it user friendly.
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 2: This is a great idea do I'm about zipping the
Speaker 2: bag halfway.
Speaker 8: You've got to zip it up. You've got to have
Speaker 8: your hand zipped up so it's a two person job,
Speaker 8: and then you've just got to jiggle it around.
Speaker 4: So Dom, you reckon, you field a bean bag with
Speaker 4: no stray balls going on your floor many times.
Speaker 3: Keep clean, Jack, And then you go to my street.
Speaker 1: Balls on the bag balls.
Speaker 8: My bags are full, and they've done it without a spillach.
Speaker 3: Dom what's is your name?
Speaker 8: Short for Durremy?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Okay, Tommy, thank tom, thank you very much to
Speaker 3: give us a call. Have a good day.
Speaker 8: You two goes by.
Speaker 3: The more calls my pig bags.
Speaker 2: If they call, I thought they'd be scared. Talk about
Speaker 2: coronavirus bean bags. Daniel, good morning.
Speaker 9: Good morning, Christian, good morning, Duck.
Speaker 7: How are you?
Speaker 2: We're good, we're good here and b mag FM Hour
Speaker 2: of Need we're here for you. Have you got a
Speaker 2: tip then about how a feller bean bag?
Speaker 3: I do? I do?
Speaker 9: Indeed, I thought about thirty or forty bean bags a
Speaker 9: couple of years ago at a gaming event. They use
Speaker 9: bean bags quite a bit to help people get down
Speaker 9: and consoles and.
Speaker 2: The people that apparently can't sit in a chair, professional gamers.
Speaker 3: They need to be in the semi reclaimed, be more relaxed.
Speaker 9: And they want to exactly right. So yeah, so we
Speaker 9: we use a wet back and put it in in
Speaker 9: the reverse cycles basically to still the still the wetback
Speaker 9: we've been uh, and then you put it in reverse
Speaker 9: and you basically blow them straight into the into the
Speaker 9: beanbak covers.
Speaker 3: What amazing?
Speaker 4: What is the wetbac a.
Speaker 9: Wet back, so it's like wet and dry, so you
Speaker 9: can pump up water or yeah, like a vacum. Exactly right.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of expense to go to just a
Speaker 2: few worries about the sort.
Speaker 9: Of a couple of hundred hundred bags you need.
Speaker 3: The wet bag.
Speaker 2: I should have lensed off your should have talked about
