Speaker 4: of fight. Now, I would love to be coming here
Speaker 4: one day.
Speaker 5: Fight with me. I'm not fighting with you.
Speaker 4: I'm fighting just said hello, I'm fighting for the good
Speaker 4: of the show. We're always kicking off right at the start.
Speaker 3: Hatsy is you did promise the coffee and it was
Speaker 3: in that prim then and yet to.
Speaker 2: Dotly there's an election going on in America yesterday twenty
Speaker 2: four hours ago you called it for Biden.
Speaker 5: Are you still going for Biden?
Speaker 3: I am still going for Biden. Yes I am. I
Speaker 3: can feel it.
Speaker 5: Did anyone else.
Speaker 2: Sat in front of the TV for far too many
Speaker 2: hours just watching the the images, the faces. I know
Speaker 2: a lot now about the individual street names in Standing
Speaker 2: attacking in Arkansas, all about Arkansas. Yesterday evening I was
Speaker 2: watching CNN was what I landed. I watched it for
Speaker 2: at least an hour on the couch. The kids came
Speaker 2: watched it for a bit as well. It is a mesmerizing,
Speaker 2: fascinating spectacle, isn't it. It's got it all. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's not gonna go whether he is going on, but
Speaker 2: you still don't know is Trump in out?
Speaker 4: Was getting to the point yesterday where Biden a whole
Speaker 4: lot of people were saying, now it's a shoeing now
Speaker 4: and then they just like rolling news his kids, going
Speaker 4: back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 2: So how did they, Patty, can you find out this morning?
Speaker 2: What is the process for them actually counting the votes?
Speaker 2: I just looked up on the screen just now. Biden
Speaker 2: has seventy one point five million votes, right, seventy one
Speaker 2: point five million? How do they?
Speaker 5: What is the system?
Speaker 2: So they empty out the ballot boxes and what is
Speaker 2: there twill three people checking each other or does a
Speaker 2: person scan it anything? Processing just Biden's votes seventy one
Speaker 2: point five million. I can't wrack my head around that.
Speaker 2: That's the individual piece of paper in the middle. It's
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 3: Admitt It's quite basic, isn't it when you think about it.
Speaker 3: I Mean, we're the same here. My brother actually volunteers
Speaker 3: every time we have an election.
Speaker 2: Yes, they're in like sports bols, aren't they's some of
Speaker 2: their school desks. This is what it comes down to, right,
Speaker 2: the fate of the most important country in the world, America.
Speaker 2: It's literally volunteers sat at those school desks in giant
Speaker 2: sports halls. Isn't it emptying out the boxes?
Speaker 4: And do they have pad so they have somebody who
Speaker 4: make sure that they're ticking it off, right? Because what
Speaker 4: if you just if you're a Trump supporter and you
Speaker 4: get a Biden vote and you tick one for Trump,
Speaker 4: one for Trump, one for Trump.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think they do well, I know here
Speaker 3: they don't. We're just trusting in the electoral staff.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's just someone sat there?
Speaker 2: You know that thing where you do in them with
Speaker 2: the cross by you're one, two, three, forty and that's five.
Speaker 4: The way they do it on prison, they're counting how
Speaker 4: many days they've been in the light.
Speaker 2: Is it just like there must be someone like an
Speaker 2: in vigilator and an exam that wanders around, Because you're
Speaker 2: quite right, what's to stop someone who's a trumpble Biden
Speaker 2: fans just ticking here? There's another twenty seven votes. Now
Speaker 2: it's just going to come down to literally collection of
Speaker 2: votes like one percentage, isn't it.

Speaker 4: two thousand and one, a guy in the UK went
Speaker 4: on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? And cheat essentially

Speaker 5: His wife major Charles Ingram.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and who go I essentially go on who wants
Speaker 4: to be a millionaire and come up with this system.
Speaker 2: Which involves coughing another audience member coughing, because the same
Speaker 2: with it, you know, who was with a Millionaire was
Speaker 2: the original that got sold around the world and Millionaire
Speaker 2: hot seat here. So it's the four questions and as
Speaker 2: you get as you go through it, the money gets higher,
Speaker 2: questions get tougher. There was someone in the audience coughing,
Speaker 2: which answers or so they claimed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean when you watch it back. So
Speaker 4: we watched it and then we went on.
Speaker 5: The brilliant dramatization is very good.
Speaker 4: The original tele telecast of it where you hear him
Speaker 4: go through each hand, so so you'll go a all right,
Speaker 4: coldplay b Craig David and then someone in the background goes.
Speaker 5: But then when they analyzed that episode, there were two hundred.
Speaker 2: And thirty eight coughs in the whole cough If you're
Speaker 2: me to a TV studio, it's quite chilling there. People
Speaker 2: cough a lot. Then the eyes it only there were
Speaker 2: only about twelve that related to when he was in
Speaker 2: the in the hot seat.
Speaker 5: But it's a brilliant story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it is a great story. This is a
Speaker 4: three part three episode series of Red creating it and
Speaker 4: it's got one of our favorite guys in it from
Speaker 4: Succession who plays Tom in Succession. He's the mad he's
Speaker 4: the major in this. And I watched it on Binge,
Speaker 4: so's I guess it's on foxtails well streaming ringe. Then
Speaker 4: I bring to you guys, the World's Best Eski as
Speaker 4: my other double thumbs up this week.
Speaker 2: Now, it was just the one that you and your
Speaker 2: wife were talking about for fifteen minutes. You had to
Speaker 2: do like a shark tan pitch, Shark tank pitch to
Speaker 2: get an eskie.
Speaker 4: That's right. We will walked into like a raise outdoors.
Speaker 4: What was that Mac pack Adventurer on Tuesday to get
Speaker 4: I just needed one camping chair for the picnic we
Speaker 4: were going to that afternoon. The first thing you see
Speaker 4: when you walk in is the tower of eskis called

Speaker 4: it's famous on Instagram of like being the primo eski.
Speaker 4: The guy at the shop said, I'm calling this eskie.

Speaker 4: all over the weekend people who have been buying these yetties.
Speaker 2: I love that. YETI Weekend. We've heard of winning weekends
Speaker 2: on radio stations, but YETI Weekend.
Speaker 4: I didn't know we needed a premium eskie like this,
Speaker 4: but when I saw it, nice to me, right, because.
Speaker 2: I've got two skis and shortly an eski is just
Speaker 2: an eskie.
Speaker 5: Oh it's a whole there. And then this is not
Speaker 5: the Rolls Royce.
Speaker 4: This is the Rolls Royce. I'll give you an example.
Speaker 4: On the cup day we took it out to the park.
Speaker 4: What was at thirty degrees. My eski sat next to
Speaker 4: my friend's eski. He's just got one of those little
Speaker 4: blue ones to get, you know, anywhere. At the end
Speaker 4: of the day he had this watery slush in the
Speaker 4: bottom where he could hardly have any ice anymore. You
Speaker 4: open up mine. This is six o'clock at night. The
Speaker 4: yetti and the ice is pristine and dry, drum anywhere,
Speaker 4: like I just poured the ice in.
Speaker 2: How are they doing that?

Speaker 4: they're not cheap. So I obviously I looked at the
Speaker 4: large one at the start and said this is what
Speaker 4: we need. Then I did that thing where you look
Speaker 4: at the price tag and you actually get you know,
Speaker 4: you throw your head back for a violent reaction, so
Speaker 4: we end up getting them any one but which I
Speaker 4: still had to beg bianchor like that.
Speaker 2: And he's got the handle. It's got the you know
Speaker 2: that sort of extendable handle she's been dragging. That's the
Speaker 2: most important thing.

Speaker 2: A lot of reaction to the pictures of Larry my
Speaker 2: cat that I have said is a big cat. Okay,
Speaker 2: he's on a diet at the moment, but he is
Speaker 2: is a big cat.
Speaker 4: Remember a couple of weeks ago you said you accidentally
Speaker 4: took your other the dog, the little poodle dog to
Speaker 4: the vet and Larry was hiding. How on earth do
Speaker 4: you know that he's struggling was in there?
Speaker 2: I was literally lopsided walking down the street. Cat puppy

Speaker 2: You know, el fat Larry was in there thinking he
Speaker 2: was going to go and get snacks and next thing
Speaker 2: is the let's go whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Speaker 5: Larry doesn't like this.
Speaker 2: Next week, you know, so we are going to search
Speaker 2: for Australia's biggest pet. So if you've got a big
Speaker 2: pet like my Larry, we want to see it next week. Agay,
Speaker 2: We're going to celebrate and search for Australia's biggest pet.
Speaker 2: So early on this morning, Jackie Boy was talking us
Speaker 2: about how he's moved back in to his place. They've
Speaker 2: been out of it for six months, so the garden
Speaker 2: is overgrown.
Speaker 4: Overgrown and there's new visitors in there. Little aphids little
Speaker 4: green alien monsters everywhere, every bud, every leaf. They're attacking
Speaker 4: the whole garden. Pats wants me to wash them with.
Speaker 3: Morning fresh, Yeah, in a bit of water.
Speaker 4: We thought, let's go to the top of the tree,
Speaker 4: the best gardener in Australia.
Speaker 2: So Costa called us on Who's calling Christian? And he
Speaker 2: was a delight Do you remember he was just such
Speaker 2: a he is anyway, you know, on guarding Australia. He's
Speaker 2: got this infectious joy about him, as he always and
Speaker 2: so he gave us his number and he said, if
Speaker 2: you even need anything, give me a call. So when
Speaker 2: he was on, I think he was just about to
Speaker 2: go and have his morning swim. And so we left
Speaker 2: a voicemail about five to seven and I think he
Speaker 2: must have been having this morning swim.
Speaker 5: But anyway, he's such a good guy.
Speaker 2: He's available in five minutes time, so he's going to
Speaker 2: help your problem out chat And I thought, seeing as
Speaker 2: he's on, this is a one off, we're never going
Speaker 2: to do this again. Let two of you put your
Speaker 2: gardening questions to Costa. You're never going to get this
Speaker 2: time again, calling that Costa doesn't know anything about this.
Speaker 2: If he's just coming on for two minutes ago. He's
Speaker 2: coming that bed right now. He's putting his beard oil.
Speaker 5: He's pruning it for us.
Speaker 2: He's got a FIDS in his beard. Two of you,
Speaker 2: we better put a gardening question to Costa.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Next week on the show, got a big chat with
Speaker 2: Dave Grohl. Last week we had Matthew McConaughey. Before that,
Speaker 2: Jerry Seinfeld and now another one of the mount rushmov greats.
Speaker 2: Costa's on the line.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: He is the bend in love machine.
Speaker 7: How are you, Christian after Rictor? That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: You are you deserve up there? And have you been
Speaker 2: for your swim this morning?
Speaker 7: Well, you know what I was just saying. It's belting
Speaker 7: down with fraying in Sydney at the moment. And yeah, look,
Speaker 7: I had to put it on hold because I'm heading
Speaker 7: out of town to open a grower's market as you
Speaker 7: do and rag it all my stuff.
Speaker 5: All of us are as famous as you.
Speaker 2: Okay, I hope one day if this all works out
Speaker 2: over here in a couple of time, I'm opening up
Speaker 2: a farmer's market, Costa. But I need to rub my
Speaker 2: nose in it. Where is the farmer's market. Let's draw
Speaker 2: a crowd there. It's going to be like be Tormania.
Speaker 2: You'll be mobbed by our listeners. Are you Are you
Speaker 2: taking some of your homemade honey along?
Speaker 7: Of course, I'll hijack one of the stalls and put
Speaker 7: a couple of my jars there and you know, sign
Speaker 7: it and then I'll go, oh yeah, it's worth ten cents, mate,
Speaker 7: take the signature off and I'll buy it.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: Listen, Costa, we need some advice. Okay, First of all,
Speaker 2: jack does who is on the show with me?
Speaker 4: Jackie, Hey, are you stuff? I've got an aphord problem.
Speaker 4: Got home after six months of not living in our house.
Speaker 4: It's a little overgrown and on all the plants we do,
Speaker 4: like like we have a magnolia vine and they're getting
Speaker 4: on all the buds and underneath all the leaves.
Speaker 7: Okay, I suppose you've got to think of it in
Speaker 7: with two approaches. One is, you know, you've got to
Speaker 7: come in on the long haul, like imagine a jumbo
Speaker 7: jet coming in on a nice, gentle approach and do
Speaker 7: certain long term things. And then the other one is
Speaker 7: you can parachute out and do some immediate spray, But
Speaker 7: the first spraying i'd recommend is with the hose, right,
Speaker 7: because you can just put the hose on jet and
Speaker 7: spray them off.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 7: You can also go a bit more commando and squash
Speaker 7: them with your fingers, and you'd.
Speaker 2: Be sort of recommending some sort of aphor genocide on
Speaker 2: the like coster.
Speaker 5: The as an orange approach.
Speaker 7: But the long term, the long term slow landing approach
Speaker 7: is to look at all the native predators that are
Speaker 7: in the garden. Because if you go with a hardcore spray,
Speaker 7: even something like a pyriethrum right, which is not you know,
Speaker 7: a toxic chemical because it's made from the pyraetun plant,
Speaker 7: the thing is it will still kill your beneficial insects.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 7: So you've got ladybirds, you've got hoverflies, You've got there's
Speaker 7: praying mantises, there's spiders, there's lace wings, they're they're they're
Speaker 7: valuable robber flies, native wasps. These are all out there,
Speaker 7: and the thing is we tend not to realize they're there,
Speaker 7: and they can be there that already doing the business.
Speaker 7: But if you go and spray with something really toxic,
Speaker 7: you'll kill them and break the long term balance that
Speaker 7: they're creating. So at the moment you've got that bit
Speaker 7: of a spike because you've been away, these new growth
Speaker 7: is there and you know they're they're kind of like, okay,
Speaker 7: it's spring, everything's burst out. There's this nice soft growth
Speaker 7: and that's where they get. They suck sap out and
Speaker 7: what actually happens there's there's some predatory wasps. You'll love this.
Speaker 7: They actually lay there are wasp.
Speaker 2: Worse than wasps. There are predatory wasps like a Harvey
Speaker 2: wereinstein wasp. What do you mean a predatory one.
Speaker 7: Well, they come in there and they actually lay their
Speaker 7: eggs inside the aphids and then when they birth, they
Speaker 7: berth out through their head and explode that aphid.
Speaker 2: Rolled up on the radio this kind of talk man,
Speaker 2: this is talking about Atchema has never spoken to us
Speaker 2: about this in four decades on TV. I just make
Speaker 2: stuff up about.
Speaker 4: As are full to the brim with wasp bags and
Speaker 4: you want me to squish it with my fingers.
Speaker 7: Well, you know that way, hopefully that they're in there.
Speaker 7: You know, hopefully some predatory wasps will come in there.
Speaker 7: But if you you know, alternatively, you can make another
Speaker 7: spray up where you can get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been doing that late at night. We don't
Speaker 2: want any more of that being on. It is what
Speaker 2: he's been doing a terrible hole.
Speaker 7: Sprinkling the golden showers. That's good on the lemon tree,
Speaker 7: but not on the aphn.
Speaker 2: Now, Aposta, what do you reckon this approach? Just quickly.
Speaker 2: Patsy works on the show. She lives out west, and
Speaker 2: she recommended pouring morning Fresh on them. You can't be
Speaker 2: doing that, can you?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 7: Look pouring morning fresh? You can use a soap spray,
Speaker 7: but you can you need to put a little bit
Speaker 7: of so you can use some dishwashing detergents, some soap
Speaker 7: flakes and and mix that up. You can also make
Speaker 7: a garlic version of.
Speaker 13: That where you you you you know, any left over garlic,
Speaker 13: mix it up with some pure soap in a lad
Speaker 13: of water and make that like peel the garlic first
Speaker 13: and crush it, put it in there and then filter it,
Speaker 13: store in a container and spray that on.
Speaker 7: So that that can work too. I can send your
Speaker 7: recipe if you want.
Speaker 2: Now, Costa, we're gonna have to go now. We've got
Speaker 2: to get into the news in a couple of minutes. Obviously,
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on. Thank you very much for
Speaker 2: chatting to us. By the way, Costa in the new year,
Speaker 2: are you in BONDI yes, I'm coming to stay or
Speaker 2: just around the corner from you, is it Bronti Brontie.
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a good part of the woods. That's beautiful. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you should go for a walk along the coast together.
Speaker 2: Two guys. I'd love that. I Jenny would love to go.
Speaker 2: And then I can pick up some of that honey
Speaker 2: you promised us a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, deal,
Speaker 2: all right, stay there, I get your details.
Speaker 5: I see you in the U year, Costa. All right,

Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 15: I've built a rope swing for my kids. I'm in
Speaker 15: this gully and my son invited one of his mates
Speaker 15: over and I put a big stick, which I thought
Speaker 15: was very solid through the right so you can hold
Speaker 15: onto it. And I got up about twenty feet in
Speaker 15: the air and the stick snapped and I was horizontal,
Speaker 15: and I came down horizontal, planning on my back with
Speaker 15: the two bits of sticks still in my hands, and
Speaker 15: he was winded. He thought I died.
Speaker 2: Oh god, and it's awful. Was he literally gulping trying
Speaker 2: to get air back into you.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: It was pretty embarrassing though, because his son probably was
Speaker 15: looking up saying, oh, look at high you got, and
Speaker 15: now look at him.
Speaker 5: Film did anyone film this?
Speaker 7: Nah?
Speaker 15: But I've done worse. So I jumped off a house

Speaker 15: that Northfolk point. So I jumped into that, but I
Speaker 15: didn't realize the branches are quite fragile. I have all
Speaker 15: sharp bits on them, So on the way down, I'm
Speaker 15: frantically grabbing brands at the branch and scratching my face
Speaker 15: with him. And I landed on my back again and
Speaker 15: was winded, and when I looked in the mirror, it
Speaker 15: looked like I'd try to attack somebody and they scratched
Speaker 15: my face.
