Speaker 1: Your daughter turning this significant birthday just took the local

Speaker 5: it's all done, and Audrey goes, Dad, you're not you realize.
Speaker 4: You and Mum aren't on the table.
Speaker 1: With all of this, I remember suddenly being at that
Speaker 1: point where you would drop and go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he he'd sort of like get a clue, Chris, He's, well,
Speaker 5: like it was genuinely shocked us with us there.
Speaker 1: It's really still you understand, but it's hard.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Is ver I remember when we had one of those
Speaker 1: can you just drop and go and then you have
Speaker 1: to sort of you have to then come back and
Speaker 1: obviously pay is this then it picks up stuff and
Speaker 1: then it's like come on the car around the corner,
Speaker 1: don't park up the front either.
Speaker 6: Well, you don't even have a seat at the restaurant.
Speaker 1: You don't want us there are style.
Speaker 4: So we might go to the movies and see Karate Kid.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yes, I really want to see that. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a good time for youase awesome, everyone's happy with that.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I hope it's good. Is it good?
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's had great reviews? Yeah, Okay, So
Speaker 1: we're fine, and tell me this, how do you feel
Speaker 1: having a fourteen year old daughter? Now?
Speaker 5: You know? I, oh, gosh, You've got me on the
Speaker 5: fly because I feel it's just this rush of you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't know that things were going to be for
Speaker 5: the last time. So we're feeling that very very strongly,
Speaker 5: and I'm going to get emotional. And next year she
Speaker 5: might be looking at doing exchange overseas and that that
Speaker 5: for me, like I'm actually feeling myself flushing up. It's fly,
Speaker 5: dirty fly I want her to have. Of course, all
Speaker 5: those experiences.
Speaker 1: Still breaks, but it's the right kind of heartbreak.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I know it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: How how has it gone so fast?
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you now as well, just save everything
Speaker 1: and there are suddenly that all these lasts so you
Speaker 1: don't even know they are the last. But also you've
Speaker 1: got all these you've got all these firsts as well.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: And that's what people forget. We're very good at knowing
Speaker 1: what we're going to miss, but you don't really think
Speaker 1: about what you're going to get. And there are loads
Speaker 1: of really great firsts all coming up as well.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing.
Speaker 5: That was such a mishmash because especially as both you know,
Speaker 5: busy working parents, you are just it's like a marathon,
Speaker 5: especially doing you know, breakfast hours.
Speaker 1: It's just running a business together. It really was.
Speaker 5: It was just getting to Friday and then you've got
Speaker 5: the weekend to rest and recuperate, and so you kind
Speaker 5: of felt like it was a rush of first steps.
Speaker 5: And Chris said to me the other night, actually he said,
Speaker 5: I don't remember Audrey starting to crawl.
Speaker 3: How did she crawl?
Speaker 5: I know she didn't like, it wasn't traditional all. Force said,
Speaker 5: I don't remember it, And I said, don't feel bad
Speaker 5: because I don't remember her first stick.
Speaker 1: No, no, I don't know. I know it's really frightening.
Speaker 1: And you suddenly think, oh my god, I'm now like
Speaker 1: my parents. You know where she get anoy going. How
Speaker 1: could you not remember?
Speaker 5: But I should remember that, And I feel like a
Speaker 5: bad parent for it. It's like if only if you
Speaker 5: could just have that that time there. Yeah, I think
Speaker 5: everyone feels the same do Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's incredible, But what I will say is like they
Speaker 1: put too much emphasis on like you know, Gole's camping
Speaker 1: trips with your kids. But I caught it like quality
Speaker 1: junk time. And actually some of the some of the
Speaker 1: best times with the girls, they just want you to
Speaker 1: hang out with them. It isn't really about what you're doing.
Speaker 1: And so some of my favorite memories really my time
Speaker 1: being a dad, it's actually just been on a couch, laughing,
Speaker 1: watching TV with snacks. In fact, if that if I
Speaker 1: had to choose how I ended this world, it'd be
Speaker 1: on a couch with the kids, snacks and a glass
Speaker 1: of wine as well, it will be doing that that,
Speaker 1: So just save all Yeah, and also you've got loads
Speaker 1: more You've got loads more time ahead.
Speaker 3: It just you know, it feels like it's slipping through.
Speaker 1: And also I stood also you know, we're dealing with
Speaker 1: Ruby's turning twenty one in a couple of weeks time.
Speaker 1: So actually I'm having to sort of what I'm saying
Speaker 1: to you as one to say, just remind yourself that
Speaker 1: you're lucky that you've got kids that have made it
Speaker 1: this far. Yes, you know, because there are so many
Speaker 1: parents that actually get so far into it and then
Speaker 1: have access. And so I'm also counter my blessings. I've
Speaker 1: got an eighteen year old and an almost twenty one
Speaker 1: year old. Wow, what a ride. Yeah right, I just
Speaker 1: have so much gratitude. Yes, of course, but wow, we
Speaker 1: so she might be leaving for a while.
Speaker 5: Next year, yeah, next year, sometime next year. I think
Speaker 5: it's around Easter time.
Speaker 1: So let's make sure we all take that time off
Speaker 1: the show and speaking to you you listener as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe we do a separate radio show. But Tel pouts allway,
Speaker 1: because we're all going to be going through that. They're
Speaker 1: all going to be going through that fly bony fly.
Speaker 3: Got along servicely up my sleeve.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh, you must probably be in touched like two
Speaker 1: hundred years.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll go that.
Speaker 1: Was meant as a joke. Lady kids following us around
Speaker 1: the said Italian market looks awfully like your mum in
Speaker 1: a beretster. Well, i'll tell you what. Enjoy the weekend
Speaker 1: and enjoy.
Speaker 3: It, will I will?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're a great mum. She's lucky to
Speaker 1: have you. And Chris's parents.
Speaker 3: We're very lucky to have her.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: They just surprise you sometimes by some of the things
Speaker 5: they say, and you think, wow, you're so mature, And
Speaker 5: I don't know why. We think we kind of not
Speaker 5: talk down to them, but we probably.
Speaker 3: Don't give them. I don't know, the not.
Speaker 5: The gratitude, but the benefit of what they what they're
Speaker 5: taking in and how they're seeing the world.
Speaker 4: And you know, really it's.
Speaker 5: Our it's our benefit because we've learned so much through
Speaker 5: her and see the.
Speaker 1: World's honestly, that's such a true thing. The biggest teachers
Speaker 1: in my life for my kids.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Still, I've learned more about myself through being a parent.
Speaker 1: And also when you drop off tomorrow and she doesn't
Speaker 1: want you there, that's a sign that you've done a
Speaker 1: good joint, honestly, because you do see other kids that
Speaker 1: aren't there, and I actually feel sorry for them because
Speaker 1: actually that's not doing it right. If you've done it healthy,
Speaker 1: they should feel real looved and safe when you're not there.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be that they have to have you around
Speaker 1: to feel safe, exactly. So, even though you will be
Speaker 1: a bit like bloody, ell, go and join the US. Git. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's her karate Git, they're going day drinking again in
Speaker 1: that ninety all right, we'll get into double thumbs up
Speaker 1: coming up next to Patsy enjoying tomorrow and hebe already
Speaker 1: has a great birthday, all right. Coming up in next
Speaker 1: tent and Gold one I four point three. We'll get
Speaker 1: into this week's double thumbs up when we go around
Speaker 1: the team. And two what the things that we're enjoying
Speaker 1: this week?
Speaker 2: It's Gold Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.
Speaker 1: Friday morning time for double thumbs Up. This is where
Speaker 1: we go around the team, Me, Rio and Pats were
Speaker 1: talking about the things we're enjoying this week, all right
Speaker 1: for me? Then two TV shows. One, we just finished
Speaker 1: a brilliant, brilliant bri This is my favorite drama of
Speaker 1: the year. Department Q.
Speaker 6: I've heard about it.
Speaker 1: Wow, we what a great show. Ended brilliantly as well,
Speaker 1: sets up neatly for the second season based on a
Speaker 1: series of ten Booksfully, there's going to be a couple
Speaker 1: more seasons to go. Great cast, but just a really
Speaker 1: really smart thriller where you've got no idea. You can't
Speaker 1: say yeah, yeah, I saw that coming. My wife was
Speaker 1: trying to do that. Yesterday. We actually had an argument
Speaker 1: on the counch my wife and I and my wife
Speaker 1: actually said this to me, come on, you gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: She goes, this is one of my wife's catchphrases, other
Speaker 1: than I told you so and admit I was right.
Speaker 1: Is come on, she said, I'd be a better detective
Speaker 1: than you. What Alex, Yeah it is. I took it personally.
Speaker 1: Team but anyway to Apartment Q. I cannot recommend that
Speaker 1: show enough on a Netflix. And then we watched a really,
Speaker 1: really a fascinating documentary about a really sad story two
Speaker 1: years ago. Do you remember the Ocean Gate disaster?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, yes, the submarine.
Speaker 1: Submersible and there were five people that lost their lives.
Speaker 1: They've made a documentary about it called Titan, and it
Speaker 1: is fascinating. Oh my god. It's sadly a story of
Speaker 1: billionaires who are entitled and ignoring experts. It's a hard
Speaker 1: watch time, but it is fascinating and gripping. It feels
Speaker 1: like a story of our time as we're surrounded by
Speaker 1: these billionaires with way too much power. You watch a
Speaker 1: guy who actually ruined people's lives and it's a sad,
Speaker 1: sad ending to it, but there's something really timed and
Speaker 1: it's such a well made story. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 8: It was so chilling at the time because I remember
Speaker 8: we all knew how long they were down there and
Speaker 8: how much oxygen they.
Speaker 1: Had and there were rumors about the noises of clanking
Speaker 1: down there. I'd forgotten about it, even though it's only
Speaker 1: two years ago, because there's so much history that's happening
Speaker 1: right now in our lives. It's got so much change,
Speaker 1: so I forgot. Oh my god, that was two years ago,
Speaker 1: and I didn't realize at the time they were dying
Speaker 1: they were going down to the site of the Titanic.
Speaker 6: Is that what it was?
Speaker 1: I don't remember.
Speaker 6: Forgot one of them.
Speaker 5: Was it a great or great great grandparents had been
Speaker 5: on Titanic or something?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So it's strange that it happened near you
Speaker 1: know it was it was multimillionaires who were doing this
Speaker 1: when it was very rich people that also perished. There
Speaker 1: were also poor people that were on the Titanic as well.
Speaker 1: But I can't recommend it enough. It's a hell of
Speaker 1: a documentary, so well made. It's called titan that's on Netflix.
Speaker 1: What's it for you? Reo?
Speaker 8: I started watching are finished watching the stand documentary Joe,
Speaker 8: which just came out about Joe Biorki Peterson, who I
Speaker 8: honestly knew nothing about. He was the Queensland premier from
Speaker 8: sixties to the eighties, and he was a tyrant and
Speaker 8: he ran the sort.
Speaker 1: He had a long run.
Speaker 6: They had a very long run.
Speaker 1: Two decades two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, sixty five to eighty seven or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And it is fascinating because it really is, especially living
Speaker 8: in Trumpian times at the moment, the playbook for Trump
Speaker 8: and it's absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 1: Save Yeah, I've seen the trainer for it on stand.
Speaker 1: It looks great.
Speaker 8: It's not like you're watching it and it's hard to
Speaker 8: believe that it's Australia.
Speaker 6: It's crazy the stuff that happened.
Speaker 8: Declared a state of emergency just so the spring Box
Speaker 8: Rugby tour could come over. He was high one of
Speaker 8: the most polarizing political characters of our time and I knew.
Speaker 1: Nothing about that in twenty years time when there'd be
Speaker 1: Dan Andrews once. Because anything you're saying, you can place
Speaker 1: that with his name with Dan Stave emergency. I'm getting PTSD.
Speaker 1: We shut the city down. Two people aren't well.
Speaker 6: But ye highly recommend it's on stand. Australian original documentary.
Speaker 6: Richard Roxbury's Grove incredible.
Speaker 1: Ah. He's such a great ossy actor, isn't he? Yes
Speaker 1: from Rake Rape so fantastic. In the Crown.
Speaker 6: Oh he was in the Crown.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a good actor. We'll take about when we
Speaker 1: come back. We'll ask Patsy what's she into at the moment,
Speaker 1: and please tell us what TV shows or movies are
Speaker 1: you enjoying at the moment. What do you recommend? Text
Speaker 1: me four seven five three one o four.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show. We're doing double thumbs up. We go
Speaker 1: around the team talk about the things we're enjoying this week.
Speaker 1: It's a demonstration coming up now with r Patsy. Patsy,
Speaker 1: what have you got?
Speaker 3: I've got an avocado?
Speaker 5: Seriously, is this not the I reckon I've discovered the
Speaker 5: best avocado.
Speaker 3: Looks beautiful, it's beautifully shaped.
Speaker 6: You are you know that's a perfect.
Speaker 1: An avocado.
Speaker 8: If you guys could see this avocada, it is a
Speaker 8: good one.
Speaker 1: It's got money, it feels like it's got a good
Speaker 1: half to it.
Speaker 4: And you know, summer either too squishy or hardest rock.
Speaker 3: This is absolutely perfect.
Speaker 5: So my friend Pado reckons that she has coined the
Speaker 5: perfect way to get the pip out of the avocado.
Speaker 5: Because you either you can cut your hand like you
Speaker 5: have to flick it out and then you get all
Speaker 5: mark on your hands. So this is great for radio
Speaker 5: because there's no pictures. But basically, so you're cutting in
Speaker 5: the middle. I'm cutting in the middle demonstration, right, Okay,
Speaker 5: so it's cut you twist.
Speaker 1: On the floor for someone to fall on and hurt themselves.
Speaker 4: Look at the size of the pip in it.
Speaker 5: It's like a tennis ball, so perfect. Avocado, absolutely sensational. Right,
Speaker 5: So normally I would get the knife and go did
Speaker 5: you do or try and dig it in and annoying?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: No, no, over, flip him over onto.
Speaker 5: His belly, turtle and just like you're burping a baby,
Speaker 5: give him a little windy and squeeze and I really
Speaker 5: hope this works.
Speaker 1: Wow you know, wow, wow, waste of radio time. We're
Speaker 1: not getting back. I liked it. We just get a
Speaker 1: spoon and do it.
Speaker 6: You lose some of that two mills and avocados.
Speaker 1: Getting back. No, no, no, radio lost, double thumbs down,
Speaker 1: double thumbs down, double bumbs down. No do the news.
Speaker 2: You're welcome Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian, thank you very much for your recommendations and double
Speaker 1: thumbs up. I'm currently halfway through a season of a
Speaker 1: very sad story. It's called the Carton Football Club. Do
Speaker 1: not watch it.
Speaker 6: Two thumbs down.
Speaker 1: Wow yeah, so, oh my god, don't air any more
Speaker 1: of their games this season. Seriously, that's no one's idea,
Speaker 1: even the club, the fans out of a fun Thursday night.
Speaker 6: It's not even funny anymore.
Speaker 1: It's just sad. No, I feel sorry for the fans. Patsy.
Speaker 1: I just remembered, obviously already turning fourteen tomorrow, I've brought
Speaker 1: a book in for you. Actually, this my wife and
Speaker 1: I have kept. Actually it's called Being Fourteen by Madonna King,
Speaker 1: Helping fierce teens become awesome women. I suddenly remember that
Speaker 1: this book literally was a bible for Sarah and I.
Speaker 1: If you've got daughters who are becoming teenagers, this book
Speaker 1: is incredible changed the way we raised our daughters. So
Speaker 1: Patsy and has my gift to you.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you. That is fantastic.
Speaker 1: A message went around the team late last night, chilling
Speaker 1: one very good Patsy's birthday. Oh my god, she's a
Speaker 1: monster at the best time, perhaps just the first time
Speaker 1: we've been on air for your birthday. We're not really
Speaker 1: on a break.
Speaker 5: I know, you know today, so my birthday is today
Speaker 5: in audience tomorrow. She's nearly born on my birthday.
Speaker 1: This is incredible, I know.
Speaker 5: And you know what, it's funny because you know the
Speaker 5: struggle we had to get Audrey. She took five years
Speaker 5: Chris and his mum was.
Speaker 1: To get her out. She didn't want to have out.
Speaker 1: There was this cozy in that so long old birth
Speaker 1: it was past was in labor for five years. That's
Speaker 1: why she's a little bit cranky.
Speaker 5: No, Chris and his mum were the same, so she
Speaker 5: was born Christmas even then Chris on Christmas Day, and
Speaker 5: I think it was something spiritual because she had passed
Speaker 5: by the time we got pregnant with Audrey. I think
Speaker 5: she had something to do with it. It was just
Speaker 5: coincidental that we also share our birthdays, as Chris did
Speaker 5: with his mum. But Ud said to me last night,
Speaker 5: you know, Mum, this is the first time in fourteen years,
Speaker 5: in all of my life that we haven't woken up
Speaker 5: together on our birthday together. And Bak it's normally survey break,
Speaker 5: but I think it's also like it's also a transition
Speaker 5: of her maturing and getting older. It's like that separation
Speaker 5: is real because we're not waking up together.
Speaker 4: But it's beautiful to share a birthday with her.
Speaker 1: Now I understand the other day we didn't get it
Speaker 1: real when pats was talking about how much it meant
Speaker 1: to when someone sent her a photo of an old
Speaker 1: boat called Patsy. Yes, you know, we didn't know at
Speaker 1: the time that she was staring at the barrel and
Speaker 1: so you see an ancient old still Reddick is one
Speaker 1: of those is called it. And now I understand what
Speaker 1: she's like. That's me but still sailing beautiful, Oh yes,
Speaker 1: but still going strong.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell.
Speaker 1: Podcast just mentioned we are all in d DF Double Denham.
Speaker 1: I just realized now what I'm really why about? What
Speaker 1: if something? You know, there's a lot of news going
Speaker 1: on this week. Anything could happen. Obviously during today's show,
Speaker 1: suddenly something very serious happens. We have to then talk
Speaker 1: about the show, and then all the all video shows
Speaker 1: I was included are filmed. There's then a clip that
Speaker 1: goes up and I'm in Triple denhim archival footage, and
Speaker 1: there'd be no explanation of why I look like that.
Speaker 1: People just thought, My god, that guy really love the
Speaker 1: eighties rocking it in twenty twenty five when World War
Speaker 1: three broke out? Why was he in triple denim? History
Speaker 1: will look poorly the judgment, it will judge us. All right, now,

Speaker 1: phone lines, the text, the fax machine. Not a single
Speaker 1: Solos rock in double dinnim today. It's just nine of
Speaker 1: us an entire city. It's like a sad fancy dress party.
Speaker 8: Can I just say, I'm so jealous that you guys
Speaker 8: just got to wear this every day?
Speaker 1: In the eighties the best I think, more than I
Speaker 1: think the seventies and the eighties, out of all the decades,
Speaker 1: had had the best look. I couldn't even describe, like
Speaker 1: if we were doing old dress up as the nineties
Speaker 1: would be like an oversized shirt, banking oversize but not fun. Yes,
Speaker 1: eighties looked good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys look like you were having a good time.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was the best, was it? Fashion?
Speaker 5: The eighties was freedom to do what you wanted to
Speaker 5: do and just have hair as big as you want it,
Speaker 5: like no limits.
Speaker 1: Yes, everything was big, the hair, the attitude as well.
Speaker 1: We sound like an eighties It was big, the hair,
Speaker 1: the eighties. All right, yesterna our show. We were taking
Speaker 1: you back to playgrounds and we're trying to design our
Speaker 1: eighties playgrounds. We're asking you what happened to be in
Speaker 1: an eighties playground? This is way before health and safety.
Speaker 1: Paul dangerously assembled rocking horse that randomly spits out a
Speaker 1: kid onto the concrete and see pull You're right. Concrete,
Speaker 1: not the bouncy stuff they get now velvet. You know, concrete, duncan.
Speaker 1: What about those nutty rowing swings You sat upposite each
Speaker 1: other and roade pushed with your feet to get it going.
Speaker 1: You could get it really high, and if an unsuspected
Speaker 1: child were a little too close to it, they would
Speaker 1: be decapitated. Lucy dog turds that have somehow turned whites Christian.
Speaker 1: I think I've ever seen this phenomenon anywhere else. On
Speaker 1: my local playground in the eighties, You're right, used to
Speaker 1: see white dog poop.
Speaker 4: Because no one picked up after they do.
Speaker 1: But why was it white? It's not white anymore? What happened?
Speaker 1: What were they? What were our parents giving dogs in
Speaker 1: the eighties that they had white poo poos? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't see a white one. I'd love to watch Antiques
Speaker 1: Roadshow and some older put out of a handbag a
Speaker 1: white dog tug, you know, and them evaluating it, going,
Speaker 1: my god, I haven't seen one of these. It's from
Speaker 1: the turn of the eighties. Beautiful, It's been in the
Speaker 1: family long, balance, Sarah Christian, What about the wooden roundabout,
Speaker 1: which at best would give you a splinter or worse
Speaker 1: to throw you off at high speed. Everything in that
Speaker 1: eighties playground, right, could just eject anyone at high speed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and as a kid, you had an innate knowledge
Speaker 8: of gravity and speed. Like most trampling, you knew exactly
Speaker 8: how to tie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, other kid. And the other thing ilmost thinking about
Speaker 1: yesterday after the show was do you remember there would
Speaker 1: be a really, really big rivalry when you're playing with
Speaker 1: your mates on a playground and then kids some another
Speaker 1: schoolcare Nothing got more tribe in life, forget about Rather
Speaker 1: and Israel than when the rival school kids from the
Speaker 1: rival school. Nothing was said, but it was hanging the tension.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it intense rivalry? Just because those kids had a
Speaker 1: different blazer to yours?
Speaker 11: How do you remember that? Was so like, oh my god,
Speaker 11: look at them, Oh god, it's the boys and Westgates third. Yeah,
Speaker 11: all right, yesterday. Then, so lines are up in now
Speaker 11: thirteen fifty five, twenty two. What would have to be
Speaker 11: in an eighties playground if we're going to recreate it.
Speaker 11: The other thing is we want to speak to people
Speaker 11: who have an injury. So maybe you're still carrying it
Speaker 11: to this day. You're a victim of an eighties playground.
Speaker 11: We have some great stories. Yesterday, I was on top
Speaker 11: of the.
Speaker 10: Monkey bars and I squeezed between the two pieces of
Speaker 10: water and rich my eyelids.
Speaker 7: Monkey bars, two children zero. I think I was trying
Speaker 7: to qualify as pic him nest and I went to
Speaker 7: lean underneath and do a maneuver called the waterfall, and
Speaker 7: I slipped and I ended up landing on the ground
Speaker 7: with my wrist underneath me snapped into.
Speaker 12: It was actually my sister.
Speaker 13: My teacher was actually trying to teach her how to
Speaker 13: use the massive, big trampoline.
Speaker 12: She was trying to be.
Speaker 9: A smart Alex.
Speaker 13: So as she rolled over to come off, she bit
Speaker 13: through a tongue. She had stitches and she couldn't talk
Speaker 13: for six weeks.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want more of that eyelids biting through tongues.
Speaker 1: We are talking about playgrounds that we grew.
Speaker 2: Up with Christian Connor show podcast.
Speaker 1: Not a single photo of anyone else in Double Down
Speaker 1: Him today. However, I have had a photo come into
Speaker 1: my inbox someone listening to me ten minutes ago saying,
Speaker 1: whatever happened to white dog poop outwalking their dog? Lumberhold,
Speaker 1: I've seen white dog poop. Wow. But you do not
Speaker 1: need to send me a photo and put it in
Speaker 1: my imbox with any rom image exciting, thinking, Oh I don't,
Speaker 1: I'm like I thought first, it was someone that wasn't
Speaker 1: a fan of the show. You can't unsee that early
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 6: We didn't ask for you as I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Just take it as reds. I don't want to eat
Speaker 1: pits of dog pood clogging up the inbox.
Speaker 6: You shouldn't have to say that, No, I should.
Speaker 1: You think that. We just have some kind of etiquette
Speaker 1: between us listeners. All right, So we're taking you back
Speaker 1: to the old playgrounds that we grew up with when
Speaker 1: they're a lot more lethal dangerous Free range was now
Speaker 1: they are and rightly so obviously now they are very
Speaker 1: well run and also they seems to have like big budgets,
Speaker 1: don't they ye shiny? There's nothing old or I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything rusty. The paint was, it felt like it
Speaker 1: arrived rusty. Nothing was ever brand new. There was no
Speaker 1: moment where this was pristine and it was all like knacked.
Speaker 1: Even that that silver slide was like people attacked it
Speaker 1: with hammers or something, all like k Yeah. The other
Speaker 1: thing is like do you remember it? Also some of
Speaker 1: it used to be smeared with dog excrement as well too. Yeah, Christian,
Speaker 1: our playground's main feature was a mound of dirt and
Speaker 1: it's fun Christian. You could walk up and stand on
Speaker 1: the top some days roll down. Playground budgets were not
Speaker 1: what they are now from Paul Nicole. As kids, we
Speaker 1: grew up with a wizzieds around metal spinning thing with
Speaker 1: mesh on the top. We used to lie under and
Speaker 1: kick it with our feet to make it spin faster.
Speaker 1: Christian dog food in the eighties and nineties had a
Speaker 1: very high levels of bone mill which led to the
Speaker 1: white dog poo Wow.
Speaker 6: Fact.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much for the size behind white
Speaker 1: dog poop. All right, let's say some calls right now.
Speaker 1: Who we got here? Michelle, good morning, Michelle, good morning.
Speaker 14: How are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good. And Michelle, what do you remember the
Speaker 1: old playgrounds that we grew up with.
Speaker 14: Well, I impegrated to Australia in the eighties and we went
Speaker 14: to a place called Monash Playground in South Australia.
Speaker 1: Now this came up a couple of times yesterday. It's
Speaker 1: like Folklore's.
Speaker 14: It was the most incredible playground it was. It was
Speaker 14: so dangerous, it was perfect in every way.
Speaker 1: They should reopen it, you know, like Disneyland, danger Land,
Speaker 1: dismal Land.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at a photo of it now, Michelle.
Speaker 8: It's got these probably three or four massive, massive, massive,
Speaker 8: four or five story purely metal slide.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No railings, no, no, no, no no, and way
Speaker 1: too line for little people.
Speaker 14: He used to actually eject offer and jump the other waves.
Speaker 14: It was increcibly drange.
Speaker 1: I was this legal? Yeah, but as a kid, I
Speaker 1: bet you, I bet you counted down the day so
Speaker 1: you go mat that monass playground. I just love to Yeah, Michelle,
Speaker 1: thank you sorry, Yeah.

Speaker 12: six kids, brothers and sisters off to the playground at
Speaker 12: the caravan park. Mum and dad say, look after the
Speaker 12: little sister getting at the big slide for someone no reason, Christian,
Speaker 12: you can picture this. Why did we always want to
Speaker 12: climb up the slide the opposite.
Speaker 1: Way rather than totally forgot?
Speaker 12: Yes, standing at the bottom of the slide watching us
Speaker 12: boys go up and down, she wants.
Speaker 1: To show off.
Speaker 12: Down the slide comes a boy smack seat straight into
Speaker 12: her front.
Speaker 1: Please human temp in Bolden, you're going to fly off
Speaker 1: like as Yeah.
Speaker 12: Taking the teeth down probably swallowed them where they are
Speaker 12: planning face back to mom and dad years of school
Speaker 12: photos with no front team.
Speaker 1: They would have taken years so that the new ones
Speaker 1: had come through.
Speaker 12: I'm supposed to be the big brother.
Speaker 6: What was the punishment, Andrew? Surely you're grounded for something
Speaker 6: now what back up that?
Speaker 12: I do remember Mum and Dad thinking, what have you done?
Speaker 12: Wasn't me?
Speaker 1: It wasn't me, Andrew. Thank you very much the story mate.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend, thanks guys. Good morning, Ollie good Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're good. Ol So old school playgrounds.
Speaker 9: Yes, so, back in the day we had those wooden
Speaker 9: sea saws.
Speaker 1: You remember that one, Yes, yeah, wood and you get splinters, yeah,
Speaker 1: really dangerous.
Speaker 9: Yeah yes, And in this case they were supposed to
Speaker 9: have the tires underneath him, but I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 9: somebody came and stole them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: So me and my mate were playing on the sea
Speaker 9: saw and he decided he wanted to get off at
Speaker 9: the bottom while I was still at the top. Yep,
Speaker 9: and he got off. I dropped. I hit the grounds
Speaker 9: and I felt this huge shiver up my spine and
Speaker 9: I realized my tailbone was broken.
Speaker 1: How many times does a kid did we land on
Speaker 1: our backside to get that author and goes right up
Speaker 1: your spine. Yeah. Literally, you can't breathe for a couple
Speaker 1: of seconds. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I sort of just rolled off in pain and I
Speaker 9: thought I could stand up, but I couldn't, So at
Speaker 9: that point I just had to go sit in like
Speaker 9: one of those doughnut pillows for about six to eight weeks.
Speaker 1: What poor thing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so it was pretty rough, but got it done.
Speaker 1: Well done, all right, Ollie, thank you very much, the
Speaker 1: story mate, have a nice weekends a babe.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell show Gone podcast, Christian.
Speaker 1: Nothing beats being at the bottom of the sea saw
Speaker 1: while your mate was at the top, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you jump off and you watch your mate
Speaker 1: go dropping down on their ass. You're right. It's how
Speaker 1: they came up. The idea for Royal rumble w Joes,
Speaker 1: a billion dollar franchise, was basically just McMahon seeing that
Speaker 1: in playgrounds, going could we do some of the men
Speaker 1: being dropped on their ass as well? That's what the
Speaker 1: whole empires built on there. You're at that that pain.
Speaker 1: How many times theres a kid would you end up
Speaker 1: smashing on your backside? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Your butt copped a lot.
Speaker 1: Yes. The other thing I think most injured area as
Speaker 1: a kid, the knees.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, great, I don't think there was a.
Speaker 1: Week where I didn't have grazed or cuts knees. You remember.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this week's people play this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they were listening and calling and choosing the music
Speaker 8: and just when hit eh.
Speaker 12: Somebody pay the station chatting lay the people's play Listen, Christian.
Speaker 6: Calling right now?
Speaker 1: When help?
Speaker 9: Christian?
Speaker 6: Big the songs for Friday show.
Speaker 1: All right, so twenty minutes time from eight every Friday
Speaker 1: on the Christian O'Connor Show, we give you a theme.
Speaker 1: You pick all the music, big songs. Now. This theme
Speaker 1: has come from a mind of producer Tina aka Inspector
Speaker 1: Pika Chow. She's back with a brand new case. What
Speaker 1: is it? She herself hit her self with the headphones. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a very strong team I have around me. Now, Tina,
Speaker 1: if you've recovered from those very dangerous headphones. I'm a
Speaker 1: little confused about how best to explain the theme today, Tina.
Speaker 1: I like the theme, but two to.
Speaker 4: Two two two two too so to t w O
Speaker 4: true T double O or two T O.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of explaining, isn't it your next hour.
Speaker 6: Two two or two yeah to two.
Speaker 1: If you just tuned into radio station right in the morning,
Speaker 1: you're tired, it's a Friday. Would you understand that, hey,
Speaker 1: cording this morning with songs are to tow two? So
Speaker 1: what is he saying? Triple two like triple zero? When
Speaker 1: then I go no, like t o t or the
Speaker 1: number two?
Speaker 6: Yeah, homophones? Does that make it clearer?
Speaker 1: Hom Again, that could sound I'm not saying that today,
Speaker 1: all right, that could sound confusing, most pronounced. I don't
Speaker 1: want people get the wrong idea about today's show, all right.
Speaker 1: So normally with this perhaps he goes down a real
Speaker 1: one oh one, it's something very obvious. But this week
Speaker 1: you've gone with something completely like the Left Field.
Speaker 4: Very funny, two strong hearts, John Farlo, Oh no, you

Speaker 1: Things Going from worse to worse for CARLT this year,
Speaker 1: don't they start the year? They're going to get the flag,
Speaker 1: this is their year. And then last night, oh boy,
Speaker 1: and then this morning so they've GOTFITI their own headquarters.
Speaker 1: It's ended times. Not that. So did someone leave the game, Yes,
Speaker 1: they very upset, go and get the graffiti paint, and
Speaker 1: then still had a lot of time to calm down,
Speaker 1: tet the shoes off, go no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going back out there. Who's coming with me? I
Speaker 1: need someone with the ladder, someone on lookout. So many
Speaker 1: moments where you could just go, we're not really going
Speaker 1: to go all the way back now, yes exactly? Or
Speaker 1: were they out the game and they probably guessed that
Speaker 1: they were going to lose and have the spray paint
Speaker 1: ready anyway. But then also I'm not condoning graffiti, but
Speaker 1: out of all the messages you see, graffiti sacked the
Speaker 1: board is the lamest one, isn't it. And I mean
Speaker 1: the finance officer, yeah, he counted, he can bloody go.
Speaker 1: The fiduciary Cornick, what ISCI? Yeah yeah, yeah, the whole
Speaker 1: hiderspelled hierarchy, they all got to go sack the board
Speaker 1: that's the lamest thing, all right. So the other day
Speaker 1: we were talking about toasters and Patsy was talking about
Speaker 1: those old fashioned toasts, the kind of had like the
Speaker 1: double doors. Someone said they've still got one going strong
Speaker 1: that their parents have had since they got married forty
Speaker 1: odd years ago. So I want to know, this isn't
Speaker 1: a time really when things were built to last. These days,
Speaker 1: like every two years you got to buy and you'll
Speaker 1: just get updates every couple of months. Your phones. We
Speaker 1: just now think it's okay every two years to buy
Speaker 1: a new flipping phone. And there's so much money. Yes,
Speaker 1: oh now it's like a billion megapixels. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I really need that because the cameras are so good anyway,
Speaker 1: but anyway we do this. Everything now is built in
Speaker 1: kind of obsolecence. Isn't it to be replaced? We don't
Speaker 1: think anything of it. But years ago, if you bought
Speaker 1: washing machine, that was the washing machine you had for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life, and then you would take it.
Speaker 1: There's always a guy in the local town. You must
Speaker 1: have had those pats There was a guy who just
