Speaker 2: showing has been he took it off. You're not in
Speaker 2: yourself today. This come in, you're peed off? What's up?

Speaker 2: Some of you still there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, my soul is It's.
Speaker 2: Like an additching nam. You weren't there, man, Vic Rhoades.
Speaker 3: It was something that I thought I could just do
Speaker 3: over the phone, which already I was dreading that sitting
Speaker 3: on hold to anybody I had doing. And then I
Speaker 3: got the words from the girl on the other end
Speaker 3: of the line, this is something that we're needly going
Speaker 3: to have you come in in person.
Speaker 2: Four. Now, what did you need to go in four?
Speaker 3: I don't know. The literally show them my license and
Speaker 3: then they tap away on the screen for two seconds.
Speaker 2: Was it like a random renewal of your license, Yeah, renewal,
Speaker 2: but you can do that online.
Speaker 3: I thought. I thought so too, tap away give it
Speaker 3: back to me. Yeah, that's that should be fine. But
Speaker 3: it's the hour and a half that you spend in
Speaker 3: that line.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What is it about that place as well? It's
Speaker 2: the lighting in there. I feel sorry for the good
Speaker 2: people that actually have to work there. Is it mean
Speaker 2: every I've been to three different vic roads here. They're
Speaker 2: always just a junk. The office is designed just as
Speaker 2: a box, isn't it The squarest buildings in the world.
Speaker 2: It's just like a lego box. There's no sort of
Speaker 2: care about them. It's just a box.
Speaker 3: I love that you're hopping around Melbourne trying to each
Speaker 3: of them. Go this one's better than the last one.
Speaker 2: I tend to get there. Like that strip lighting in there,
Speaker 2: that ticket system, like at the Delhi. You know you're
Speaker 2: not getting some nice olives or some whaff of thin ham,
Speaker 2: but at least.
Speaker 3: At the Deli it's number one oh three, one four.
Speaker 3: What is that random one zero six nine l at symbol.
Speaker 2: It's not just that, it's that sort of strange sort
Speaker 2: of like police sort of a holding sale benches that
Speaker 2: they've got there. There's always some guy right who's either
Speaker 2: asleep or dead, isn't that? And you're like, his numbers
Speaker 2: must have come around eight. Has anyone checked or held
Speaker 2: a mirror under his nose? There's always some old guy
Speaker 2: in a cap. I was like, ben over either a
Speaker 2: sleep or deadlight? How has he been here?
Speaker 3: And yesterday I was jealous of that guy. The only
Speaker 3: reason I didn't go to sleep is I knew i'd
Speaker 3: sleep through my number, but I was desperate.
Speaker 2: I actually think that guy was asleep on when that
Speaker 2: land was originally just a park bench, and they just
Speaker 2: dropped that building on him.

Speaker 2: his job as a gas engineer. He left after twenty
Speaker 2: five minutes, saying it's not for him. He also asked
Speaker 2: if we be paid for his time. That's from Rob.
Speaker 2: That's incredible, Christian. We claim to fame. Yeah, we're going
Speaker 2: to be doing these eight o'clock this morning. We do
Speaker 2: them every Wednesday. Your weakest claim to fame. I started
Speaker 2: my certificate in celebracy over the weekend and we've were
Speaker 2: discussing claims to fame. The instructor of our course works
Speaker 2: in many different roles in industries as well as being
Speaker 2: an MCC member. She does work there as has been
Speaker 2: a volunteer. She mentioned that during the then Vice President
Speaker 2: Biden's au tour in twenty sixteen, he went to an
Speaker 2: AFL match. I saw a photo of that over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Actually was it a blues game he went to see.
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but I know the AFL. When he
Speaker 3: was won the presidency, the AFL put up a photo
Speaker 3: of him and Gil. That's right, Thank congratulations.
Speaker 2: He's this powerful Gil note everyone giving me him back
Speaker 2: in the day, you know, before he was like signed
Speaker 2: up to be the actual president, like an unsigned band.
Speaker 2: Went to an AFL match, and my friend running this
Speaker 2: course opened the door for the new president, Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: for him to enter a reserve room for him, and
Speaker 2: he greeted her and asked how she was. I thought
Speaker 2: it sounded very weak to me. What do you think?
Speaker 2: I don't think it's weak enough. He's a new big guy.
Speaker 2: It's actually too good. This is more like it. Christian,
Speaker 2: I've got a weeks claim to fame for you. I
Speaker 2: grew up with the nephew of Darren Costin. Exactly, that's
Speaker 2: a week claim to faine, isn't it. Darren Costin? Who
Speaker 2: the drummer in wang Chung? The nephew of the drummer
Speaker 2: in wang Chung. That's what we're looking for. That's great,
Speaker 2: that's some ross. And then this one would take them
Speaker 2: at eighty this morning. But for now, on last quick
Speaker 2: one from Stuart Green. My auntie lived used to live
Speaker 2: three doors down from the queen's accountant. Go on, I
Speaker 2: think that's it. I think the guy was making up
Speaker 2: he was the queen's accountant. Imagine balancing those books during
Speaker 2: the taxi turn of a multi billion dollar empire. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure about that one, Christian.
Speaker 1: Hello, Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's get into this week's wonder year. This is going
Speaker 2: straight to the pool room.
Speaker 9: Are you telling me that you built a time machine?
Speaker 2: Had a warrior? I tell you what. Any boss who
Speaker 2: sex anyone?
Speaker 3: But not turning up the dyers above.
Speaker 2: But not as if Tyson bears teeth. Wonder Year, all right,
Speaker 2: every week on the show we take you back to
Speaker 2: a year. It's the Wonder Year of nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: This morning, we'll talk about the movies, the TV shows
Speaker 2: in a bit and do the one second winner since
Speaker 2: have Reacher Bob Hawk was your prime minister in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight. The big thing I remember was you must
Speaker 2: remember this two Patsy the Sole Olympics. Yes, now this
Speaker 2: was eighty eight, so I don't think drugs testing in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight was as rigorous as it is now.
Speaker 2: When I tell you this, Russia won one hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two medals, fifty five of which were golds. No
Speaker 2: country has ever repeated that since. Why do we think
Speaker 2: that might be? They didn't find me for that again
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty eight, no one got suspicious that Russian
Speaker 2: walked away with fifty five gold medals, one hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty two in total. That's astonishing.
Speaker 3: We just went through a purple patch. Nothing to see here.
Speaker 2: Oh, just good luck training those kids at the age
Speaker 2: of one. That's amazing. Also, sadly, it was the first
Speaker 2: year and they were going all vinyl on Friday Show,
Speaker 2: but vinyl really started to phase out very quickly. I
Speaker 2: always thought CDs were came along in the nineties in
Speaker 2: nineteen eight and nineteen eighty eight was the first time
Speaker 2: that CDs actually outsold vinyl. I didn't realize they were
Speaker 2: around in the of the late eighties, the other the
Speaker 2: year of big cultural milestone for a lot of us.
Speaker 2: Right as a kid who didn't love Scooby Doo. Oh, definitely, honestly,
Speaker 2: absolutely love that show. It would be like it wasn't
Speaker 2: when there weren't many kids TV shows on? Were they
Speaker 2: and you knew what time the few kids TV shows
Speaker 2: were on? It's not Now we've got like actual twenty
Speaker 2: four to seven channels just for kids and on demids
Speaker 2: of that Scooby Doo it used to be on in
Speaker 2: England used to be on a Friday at four o'clock,
Speaker 2: so you knew whatever if even having a crap day, right,
Speaker 2: or like double Matts in the afternoon a Friday, Scooby
Speaker 2: Doo was wait for your four so you were a winner, right,
Speaker 2: And I remember I used to make myself a cheese sandwich,
Speaker 2: have a glass of milk, and I was all right
Speaker 2: in the world because Scooby Doo was on, and there
Speaker 2: was another mystery, another mystery that the gang were going
Speaker 2: to solve.
Speaker 3: Ginny used to love Scooby Doo. Yeah, Saturday mornings for us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but the same ones from back in the like I
Speaker 3: guess the sixties and seventies that the original cut own
Speaker 3: was from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you? I used to find it quite scary
Speaker 2: at times? Why did you? I loved it? Did it
Speaker 2: scare you? It's especially when there was like ghosts or
Speaker 2: a haunted sort of house, and it was always like
Speaker 2: a caretaker who hated kids. They used to recycle as
Speaker 2: an adult. If you're watching now, every fourth episode is
Speaker 2: some sort of bitter caretaker in a mask, isn't it.
Speaker 3: That's the only reason you didn't I didn't find it
Speaker 3: so scary is because you got to pick up on
Speaker 3: the pattern that it was not actually supernatural as always
Speaker 3: somebody that.
Speaker 2: They und people that Pats and I in nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: eight us thick kids very impressionable. There was drugs around
Speaker 2: at the Olympics. There was all kinds of additives in
Speaker 2: our fizzy drinks. Kids in the eighties like me and
Speaker 2: Pansy not that smart. I thought it was a mystery
Speaker 2: every week, right, shadow creature, you're dealing with scrappy Do.
Speaker 2: Now prepare to splat. See every great TV show has
Speaker 2: an issue with it. Scrappy Do was the worst thing
Speaker 2: that ever came along in any cartoon form. I liked
Speaker 2: scrappy Do, no way, I'm do you know what I
Speaker 2: wrote before the show today, ask if anyone likes scrappy Do,
Speaker 2: thinking we'd get no. Course. I didn't realize I find
Speaker 2: Australia's only fan opposite me in the study. You didn't like.
Speaker 3: Scrappy I did?
Speaker 2: Why did you?
Speaker 3: I felt like I always like the not the front
Speaker 3: character of a car to interesting, like the baby version
Speaker 3: of Scooby Doo with Scrappy Doo. So I liked him.
Speaker 2: Right, so you're this show scrappy Doo.
Speaker 3: I guess, I said the air, which means you hate me.
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, doomby Doo, where are you? We've
Speaker 2: got this idea for next year where we get big
Speaker 2: musical artists when they can come back to this country
Speaker 2: to do a cover version of a TV them chun
Speaker 2: last week was announcing guns and Roses are coming here.
Speaker 2: How Mike, you know we'll have years resolutions I'm not
Speaker 2: going to rest in twenty one till Axel Rose is
Speaker 2: in this studio doing Dooby Dooby do?
Speaker 3: Where are you?
Speaker 2: I will try everything. I will try everything to have
Speaker 2: a member then of Guns n' Roses in the studio
Speaker 2: by the end of twenty twenty one doing the Scooby
Speaker 2: Doo theme tune when you know to hear them full
Speaker 2: on rock and roll version, actually our proper electric version
Speaker 2: with amps and everything of Scooby Doo Axel Rose screaming it. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Christian i'connell Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Gina eighty eight is the Wonder year. This week on
Speaker 2: the show, I was fifteen in nineteen eighty eight. I
Speaker 2: had my first ever part time job, your Saturday job.
Speaker 2: You always remember your first Saturday job. I was so
Speaker 2: excited to be amongst the adult world. I remember just
Speaker 2: thinking this is it. It's grown ups. I'm grown up now,
Speaker 2: not a kid. And then I suddenly realized had this
Speaker 2: romance of what I thought adults all knew what they
Speaker 2: were doing and had it all locked down. And then
Speaker 2: you realized it was like going behind the curtain of
Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz anything. Adults are useless. They mean
Speaker 2: they let you do this, crazy boss. And I remember
Speaker 2: they paid you pittance. You remember your first job, it
Speaker 2: was all like cash in hand, there's no tax I
Speaker 2: remember well. I remember asking how long lunch break was,
Speaker 2: and it goes laughed and walked off, and then realized
Speaker 2: there wasn't really lunch break. You've got like sort of
Speaker 2: five or ten minutes, and they mist meant to carry on.
Speaker 2: I watched from eight till six. I was dishwashing for
Speaker 2: the first count of weeks, and they got promoted to
Speaker 2: go at the front of this little cafe restaurant where
Speaker 2: I worked, and it was right by Winchester Town I
Speaker 2: grew up in. The most famous thing it's known for
Speaker 2: is having this amazing cathedral, Winchester Cathedral. Tourists Americans come
Speaker 2: for all over the world to see it. And there
Speaker 2: was some obnoxious American family right and they're being really rude,
Speaker 2: and they wanted prawns. And I remember the guy started
Speaker 2: yelling at me across this little cafe that he needed
Speaker 2: a finger bowl. You know that little side bowl if
Speaker 2: you're using prawn's, said greasy to clean them. I remember,
Speaker 2: I think he was such a rude idiot, right. I
Speaker 2: went in and got a bowl of water and I
Speaker 2: put it in the microwave for three minutes, so it's
Speaker 2: really really hot, so it'd scold his fingers when he
Speaker 2: shoved them in there. I remember hearing his yells, and
Speaker 2: I remember being moved back into dishwashing for a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks after that. Like Steve McQueen, the cooler king.
Speaker 2: All right, your Saturday jobs. What do you remember from
Speaker 2: your first Saturday jobs? Lucy? Good morning?
