1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: Look if your weakest claim to fame about your house

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: or a place you've lived in Christian and I live

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: next door to the Beyonce house in Brunswick. The video

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: was for No Angel in twenty thirteen. I did not

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: know anything about this, right, so I just googled Beyonce

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: video No Angel and sure enough filmed here in Melbourne

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: at a rundown sort of place in Brunswick.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they looked for the worst house on the street,

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 3: I think. And then it sold a couple of years

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: ago for like over a million dollars.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: You're kidding because of the Beyonce video made it famous.

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: I guess house prices in Melbourne is ridiculous anyway, But

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 3: you think Beyonce would have given her a kid?

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: Why did Beyonce film in Melbourne? Was she on tour

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: Australia In Australia, I think she.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Was at the time, wasn't she was like a broken down,

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: old single fronted Victorian, wasn't it?

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: And it was like aqua I remember the color was aqua.

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Christian my family home growing up was the footy player

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis's childhood. I was in what was to be

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: his bedroom, baby blues and cartoon wallpaper everywhere, which clashed

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: terribly with the bright orange, beige brown carpet that is

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: still scarred in the recesses of my mind. It was

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: a peak eighties house brackets. Sorry, mister Lewis, very polite.

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the lines. Derek, good morning,

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, here's going Christian, I'm good Derek, Welcome to

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: the show. So we claim to feign about home.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the house I grew up and was in Boxtel

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: and the street was so full houses from the sixties

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: that they came in and filmed the TV series. It

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: looking what the series was, but had Claudia Carving in

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: And I actually never saw any of the streeting. It

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: was always during the day when I was out.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: It was that significant. You got no idea what they

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: were filming. But they were filming some TV show with

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: Claudia Carvin. If I'm so, someone listening may or may

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: not have seen that show. Isn't the Secret Life of Us?

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Was it? It was very secret? He don't even remember it.

40
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like it was, but I don't think so.

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: Was it a sixties era TV show? Is that the

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: idea they were going for kind of houses?

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: It was okay, so Claudia Carbon show from the sixties.

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: Well across the road from us, just for a couple

49
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: of years, we had guy Peers.

50
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: See that's pretty cool. Did you ever sort of just

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: see him leaving his house and deliberately leave you what

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: was at the same time trying to strike up a

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: friendship as neighbors?

54
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Well just occasionally, but it didn't seem to work. I

55
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: mean he became best friends with my best friend from

56
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,280

Speaker 2: more than two people there, hates hates odd numbers.

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Guy Piers absolutely okay, wouldn't want to share. So yeah,

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: that's right. But I had a big sort of a

00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: big so I'm recording studio in the back of the house.
