Speaker 4: my wife's to do list. She's got eighteen items.
Speaker 5: There's an imbalanced thing. She's doing more chores than you.
Speaker 4: I asked to see it the other day at number
Speaker 4: one is cool? Michelle her eyelash lady.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's always number one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, number one. Cool, Michelle said, I could easy fit
Speaker 4: out my three with drive to work, park the car
Speaker 4: at work, get in the lift, chant to sue the boss,
Speaker 4: call the other boss who never returns my calls. I
Speaker 4: could easily get to eighteen like that.
Speaker 5: But don't you sometimes put things on your to do
Speaker 5: list like that so that you tick off a few
Speaker 5: easy ones and it's like, all right now I'm getting to.
Speaker 4: Let's go get out of big arnies. To do list here,
Speaker 4: it's just stuff like read, sit on backside, stare out window. Anyway,
Speaker 4: the big thing on here for me is measure the oven.
Speaker 4: Now you might think, oh, you're gonna measure it them
Speaker 4: by No, I'm to measure the oven and report back
Speaker 4: to my boss, my wife, she will make the purchase
Speaker 4: and decisions. That's what runs in our company slash family.
Speaker 4: Trouble is, though, measuring the oven isn't just easy one
Speaker 4: those it's it sits on the floor. You all know
Speaker 4: what a kickboard is. Yes, right, this overn was in
Speaker 4: the house when we what's the word moved in? I
Speaker 4: don't know why. Yes, I woke up one day in
Speaker 4: someone else's house kickboard, moving in, become familiar with the
Speaker 4: moving in process. It's also it's early.
Speaker 5: Do you guys have that here in some way?
Speaker 4: You know, you go into another another place with wolves.
Speaker 4: So this oven that was there we moved into the house. Right,
Speaker 4: this oven, it's now it's on its last legs. Okay,
Speaker 4: there's a terrible rattling noise that's been going on for
Speaker 4: months that now is getting louder and louder and louder.
Speaker 4: And I thought I'd better open the door when it's
Speaker 4: making this right no noises. It was. The grill is
Speaker 4: now hanging off, you know, it's falling in. I don't
Speaker 4: think it's much more before it just blows up. Right,
Speaker 4: But it's the kickboard. I don't know whether the oven
Speaker 4: is sat on something like a plint, or it goes
Speaker 4: behind the kickboard to the floor.
Speaker 5: Sometimes the kickboard is just something at the front, so
Speaker 5: it's not actually sitting on it.
Speaker 4: Jery's call it what it is, a facade. I've always
Speaker 4: wanted to say that word in context. Forty eight I've arrived.
Speaker 4: I hit peak life. I've just used a grown up
Speaker 4: word like facade in the right. Yeah, And I don't
Speaker 4: know how to put it away, to see behind the facade,
Speaker 4: like ap peering behind the colonel of the Wizard of
Speaker 4: Oz at mister rave and are you there or is
Speaker 4: it a plint that it would sit on?
Speaker 5: I reckon, the oven's got to town feet onto the
Speaker 5: floor and the kickboard is just a facade.
Speaker 4: But how am I going to find this out? Hence
Speaker 4: why I'm nervous about the measurement process ordering a new
Speaker 4: oven and it being the completely wrong size. You can't
Speaker 4: send it back, can't you? You can't put an oven
Speaker 4: in your car, drive it tors post and try and
Speaker 4: fit it in that metallic bit imagine a poor postage
Speaker 4: and that with you on his shoulder and that little bike.
Speaker 5: So could you crowba the kickboard off?
Speaker 4: You've got crow bar?
Speaker 5: I can bring a crowbar in?
Speaker 4: Have you've got crowbar? What have you got crowbar for?
Speaker 5: Just in case you need a crowbars something?
Speaker 4: What do you need a crowbar for? You don't work
Speaker 4: in the trades industry? Of no business with the crowbar.
Speaker 5: The crowbar I have actually was handed down to me
Speaker 5: by my dad.
Speaker 4: Oh it's a generational crowbar family crow bar. Actually, could
Speaker 4: you bring in the crowbar tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yes, but it has sentimental value to me, remember, so
Speaker 5: you have.
Speaker 4: To try to throw it in there for fun.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show podcast earlier.
Speaker 4: How life is just that, It's just a constant kind
Speaker 4: of to do list, isn't it. You'll got to do
Speaker 4: this summer, whether it's in your head and you can
Speaker 4: remember what's on your to do list, or whether you
Speaker 4: put it on your phone and you try and tick
Speaker 4: off the items. And at the moment there are just
Speaker 4: three things on my to do list on the phone.
Speaker 4: There's there's one big thing which is just filling me
Speaker 4: with more dread than anything in my life right now,
Speaker 4: and that is measure the oven. And I know it
Speaker 4: might sound really basic, like how dumb is this pomme
Speaker 4: that you can't even get a tape messire out and
Speaker 4: measure the oven. The thing is the oven. I can't
Speaker 4: see its feet, all right, it's behind we've establishers behind it,
Speaker 4: the kickboard that acts as a kind of facade. All right,
Speaker 4: if you just tuned in, stay with okay, I need
Speaker 4: you out. I don't know whether there's a couple of
Speaker 4: cheeky little feet hidden the other side of the facade.
Speaker 4: Slash kickboard, or it's just sat on some kind of plint,
Speaker 4: like the oven is like some kind of giant microwave.
Speaker 4: You slot it in and out. Yeah, okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: People have called in. I didn't ask anyone to call in,
Speaker 4: but people have called in trying to help me out
Speaker 4: because you're nice people, and I'm struggling right now, Josh,
Speaker 4: Good morning, Josh. Well I'm struggling, Josh. How can he
Speaker 4: help me?
Speaker 6: Mate?
Speaker 7: Well, you shouldn't really need a croobio unless you want
Speaker 7: to destroy it. Just from experience. I'm a capeter. I'm
Speaker 7: not a cabinet maker, but from experience a point in
Speaker 7: the park cabinets you should only need a drill just
Speaker 7: there and do some screws that they're hidden behind some stickers.
Speaker 4: Can I just say case people were tuned in, I
Speaker 4: wasn't going to go the crowbar way, Jack Post said,
Speaker 4: what you need here? What you need here is a crowbar. Okay,
Speaker 4: thank god, Josh. You've called in some kind of intervention
Speaker 4: right now? Or I actually I might have demonister.
Speaker 5: Actually, the more I think about it, do you want
Speaker 5: to put the kickboard back? After the new oucome of
Speaker 5: good point? Don't use the krobah.
Speaker 4: Because Josha stepped in here. So Josh, what what should
Speaker 4: I do then? With the screwdriver and the drill.
Speaker 7: Well, there should only be little stickers to hide the
Speaker 7: screws so you don't see screws on the inside of
Speaker 7: the cabinet. So you just peel off the sticker and
Speaker 7: you should be able to undo all those screws and
Speaker 7: pull the whole kick her off and then you can
Speaker 7: put it back on once you measured it.
Speaker 4: All right, But the kickboard is like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: six or seven feet long. I can just pull it out.
Speaker 7: It could be done in sections, or you might have
Speaker 7: to pull the whole thing off.
Speaker 6: Just the check.
Speaker 4: This is one continuous thing. There are no separate sections
Speaker 4: to this. I went on my hands and he's just
Speaker 4: saying side feeling it. I hopeing not care. Trapped door, Yeah,
Speaker 4: got on the other side of it. How do I
Speaker 4: get my out of here? You know that chat? Yes
Speaker 4: about secret doors? Josh like that one?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 4: Josh, thanks you help though, and I have a look
Speaker 4: okay for these secret screws. No, thank you. Don't bring
Speaker 4: the crowbar in tomorrow. Okay, that's a big thing. We've
Speaker 4: learnt from that.
Speaker 8: Michelle, good morning, good morning, How are you. I'm good,
Speaker 8: Michelle hoping, yes, having just done this twice, just recently
Speaker 8: won our rental property in one in their house. I'm
Speaker 8: very familiar with this, and I exhausted all options before
Speaker 8: I took to the crowbar myself.
Speaker 9: But as it turned out, as it turned out, well,
Speaker 9: you need the Phillips head screwdriver, and underneath there are
Speaker 9: two screws, one on either side of the kickboard, and
Speaker 9: the whole thing just removed. And then your oven magically
Speaker 9: is on feet. Every oven is on feet, apparently so
Speaker 9: that you can have it as a bench high did giggle?
Speaker 4: Used today? Yesterday? Used today? I googled free standing ovens.
Speaker 4: They exist?
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, Soluly they do. And our friend of ours
Speaker 9: works for a big supply company, and I got two
Speaker 9: new ovens, very different, very different sizes. Also, the inside
Speaker 9: of your oven measures differently to the outside.
Speaker 4: Of your oven perpet two for running.
Speaker 9: For rental property, one for ovental copy, and the two
Speaker 9: different sized ovens. So you know, isn't it says nine hundred,
Speaker 9: It might not be nine hundred inside it might only
Speaker 9: be eight hundred and twenty.
Speaker 5: You wife, my.
Speaker 4: Wife give me this hellish task. It might not be
Speaker 4: nine hundreds. Why would they do that?
Speaker 9: Because the exterior is nine hundred, but the internal oven
Speaker 9: cooking space can only be eight at sometimes eight hundred.
Speaker 9: So you want a true nine hundred oven. That's what
Speaker 9: you need to.
Speaker 8: Ask for Google, true nine hundred oven.
Speaker 5: It seems like a risky thing to purchase online.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't purchase it online. I'd go and look at them.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, because you need to decide how many.
Speaker 4: Go oven shopping this weekend.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, you're gonna love it. It's just going to
Speaker 9: be a I mean, you.
Speaker 4: Set foot in those showrooms, those shots come out, don't they.
Speaker 4: You know I can help you, certainly, you see that
Speaker 4: wide eyed, sweaty, nervous. Let me guide you through it, sir.
Speaker 4: Now this is the basic one, but this one, yea.
Speaker 4: And certainly your jack in the bean store, can't you
Speaker 4: sold the house? Come up with these magic beans? Are
Speaker 4: the cookie?
Speaker 9: Make sure you've had your breakfast before you go. You'll
Speaker 9: be there a while.
Speaker 4: Well that's my Saturday TikTok folks. All right, Michelle, this
Speaker 4: has actually been very helpful.
Speaker 9: Oh good, I'm really placed that the true nine true yeah,
Speaker 9: true nine hundred ovens for internal for cooking.
Speaker 4: I think even if I drop that in with the
Speaker 4: sales guys, you don't know that I'm another guy. He
Speaker 4: won't be to rip me off, buddy, because I know
Speaker 4: what true nine hundred ische. Thank you very much for
Speaker 4: the pro tips.
Speaker 9: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Take it by the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Loads of emails came in since yesterday's show, all about
Speaker 4: the topic of school sports trauma. Because this kind of
Speaker 4: trauma affects everyone. It's a global thing. If you went
Speaker 4: to school, you'll have some kind of trauma very deep
Speaker 4: in your hurt locker. It would be about one specific incident.
Speaker 4: What is it about. I'm guessing like sports teachers these
Speaker 4: days they all seen really nice people, right. You've met
Speaker 4: them at the at uder school, haven't you? And I
Speaker 4: met them at a girls' school. They're very different people.
Speaker 4: It's like they actually chose that as a vocation. The
Speaker 4: people that taught me at school appeared to have I
Speaker 4: don't know, like they were just this was not the
Speaker 4: life they chose themselves, and they actually hated not just kids, but.
Speaker 5: Mankind lpe teacher was ex army way he actually started,
Speaker 5: you stand like this, or you stand like this, and
Speaker 5: you would go up and down the road.
Speaker 4: Yes, you're just like privates on brain. Oh one, you
Speaker 4: remember the old meter stick, right, he snapped in half
Speaker 4: and had it rounded off an d and would have
Speaker 4: it under his arm, tucked under his arm, right like
Speaker 4: a colonel mite. I think he still thought he was
Speaker 4: in the army and we were recruits. We're just children, sir. Okay,
Speaker 4: So this morning, have you got a story, a very
Speaker 4: specific story what's in the hurt looker about school sports trauma?
Speaker 4: Some of these emails are incredible. This is from Grant Christianist.
Speaker 4: At primary school in the eighties. We would have a
Speaker 4: weekly swimming lesson in winter in an unheated outdoor Paul.
Speaker 4: We would have to go through the cold shower, also
Speaker 4: outside to acclimatize before going in again. This is not
Speaker 4: happening in this decade, is it? You know? It screams eighties.
Speaker 4: Once on arrival, we pulled back the covers only for
Speaker 4: us to see a dead hedgehog floating about. He made
Speaker 4: us scoop it up and then sent us in again swimming,
Speaker 4: saying it was character building. That's something Grant Christian My
Speaker 4: school sports trauma is is to do purely with the
Speaker 4: psychotic pe teacher taught you. It was a massive unit
Speaker 4: of a guy six foot five, ex military let's us
Speaker 4: call him mister John. First time we ever met him
Speaker 4: in our first year was to be greeted by him
Speaker 4: inside the gym holding a rounders bat covered in blood.
Speaker 4: When one of the kids asked what happened, he simply replied, rats,
Speaker 4: that was it. He terrified everyone. If he ever took
Speaker 4: in a note to try to excuse you from pe,
Speaker 4: he would just say, you're fit enough to clean the
Speaker 4: gutters then, and that's exactly what you would do, clean
Speaker 4: the gutters. Christian, I say again, absolutely unit of a bloke,
Speaker 4: but one who gained everyone's respect really fast. I saw
Speaker 4: him a few years back in the supermarket. You just
Speaker 4: heard that air about of a man that could switch
Speaker 4: at any time, so I avoided the aisle. He was,
Speaker 4: thank you very much, Matthew Pert. That's very good, Christian.
Speaker 4: My school sports trauma set the scene. It was a
Speaker 4: few years ago. There was a bit of tough love
Speaker 4: that was allowed. It was all considered second use of
Speaker 4: this word this morning character building. I was a repeat offender.
Speaker 4: Forgetting my kit and got my trainers. So I was
Speaker 4: sent like you to the lost property and all fine
Speaker 4: was two trainers for a left foot, but none for right.
Speaker 4: So I went back to tell the pe teacher, Ah,
Speaker 4: there's nothing I can do. There's only two of the
Speaker 4: left foot. Back I went, he told me to go
Speaker 4: get them. I had to do run in two left trainers.
Speaker 4: They weren't even the same size. I never forgot my
Speaker 4: trainers after this episode, Ashley turn out, these are great stories.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: School Sports Trauma one in Christian. My school sports trauma
Speaker 4: still gives me shivers today involves forgetting my uniform. A
Speaker 4: new rule was brought in one day when I forgot
Speaker 4: those students we thought it was acceptable to turn up
Speaker 4: without their sports kit. From now on would still do sports,
Speaker 4: but with their school uniform worn inside out is cruel.
Speaker 4: There was nothing more bounce, and I have to wear
Speaker 4: I checked school dress with the pockets flapping like from
Speaker 4: wings and the size tag there for all to see.
Speaker 4: I still hate missus d for doing this. It only
Speaker 4: happened to me once and I never got my school
Speaker 4: sports outfit after that because of what happened. You're still traumatized, Kathy.
Speaker 4: This is unbelievable. My sports teacher, Christian, taught me how
Speaker 4: to swim by attaching a long pole to the back
Speaker 4: of my trunks and dragging me through the water.
Speaker 10: What.
Speaker 4: No, that is not a way to teach anyone to swim.
Speaker 4: With signs off here. It didn't work, of course it didn't.
Speaker 4: Some of the calls we've heard the last twenty minutes
Speaker 4: we cannot put on air. I heard Jack saying him
Speaker 4: on them tell Christian story. But we like child that
Speaker 4: we can't have that on air. We have some kind
Speaker 4: of codes and practices on the show. All right, let's
Speaker 4: go to the few calls we can actually put to air,
Speaker 4: and even some of these are questionable. No wonder our
Speaker 4: generation drink so much. He saw this trauma. Rebecca, Good morning,
Speaker 4: Good morning, Hell are you? I'm good? So let's go
Speaker 4: back to school days and school sports. What happened?
Speaker 11: I think it was back in ninety one. We were
Speaker 11: doing our sports down in the gym and one of
Speaker 11: the we were running around and one of the kids
Speaker 11: hurt himself and he said to the teacher, I've hurt
Speaker 11: my leg. You know, truly saw it. She said, suck
Speaker 11: it up and deal with it. So he's done that,
Speaker 11: and then he continued. We continue doing PE. And then
Speaker 11: when we when he came in the following day, his
Speaker 11: leg was in a cast and we're like, what the
Speaker 11: hell happened? He goes, I broke my leg in PE,
Speaker 11: and so the teacher said, suck it up, and yeah,
Speaker 11: he bufted his leg.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did not accept interest, did they did not care.
Speaker 4: I don't even think said they had first aid kits,
Speaker 4: you know, as you found out yesterday. Rebecca, thank you
Speaker 4: very much.
Speaker 6: You cool.
Speaker 4: Have a good day, you too.
Speaker 11: See you guys, Billy.
Speaker 4: Good morning, I'm good Billy. Welcome to the show. Quick
Speaker 4: counter Belly. Then we get into it, guys, Belly, what's
Speaker 4: your story from us? What have been at school? Sports? Mate?
Speaker 12: Well, this is back in the late eighties, you know.
Speaker 12: So it was a eight eighty nine and we were
Speaker 12: in the basketball courts before p and was like kind
Speaker 12: of like silent time, you know. And if you is
Speaker 12: there anything from one of our teachers, you would get
Speaker 12: a basketball to the head.
Speaker 4: What do you mean to the head thrown at you?
Speaker 12: Thrown at you?
Speaker 6: Literally?
Speaker 4: Well, and why are you allowed to dodge it. Listen
Speaker 4: to that Tormentors.
Speaker 12: And know I was was full on. So certainly you're
Speaker 12: just reading a book. Next minute you're on the ground.
Speaker 4: Wow, we belly, thank you very much. You cool. Just
Speaker 4: remind you these are the ones we can actually put
Speaker 4: to wear. There are worse that we've turned away. Peter, right,
Speaker 4: I'm good. Peter. You're the one with the javelin. We've
Speaker 4: actually had a in song meeting about whether we should
Speaker 4: put this one to air. But let's let's hear the
Speaker 4: Jovian story, Beter, just quickly.
Speaker 6: I was the third of three boys, so I had
Speaker 6: two older brothers which spent their high school years giving
Speaker 6: the per teacher the actually rods and his name was
Speaker 6: mister Bows and Bose. The clown was popular back then,
Speaker 6: and my first my first day at school, pleer, I
Speaker 6: got the young kid and I just basically called him mister.
Speaker 6: I called him poso, and we happen to be doing
Speaker 6: the javelin toss at the time, and he decided that
Speaker 6: I would be the one to go pick up the
Speaker 6: javelins that had been thrown, but he sort of kept
Speaker 6: a feedback and while I was out there, I spent
Speaker 6: most of my time picking him up, dodging the javelins
Speaker 6: who was throwing at me.
Speaker 4: There's a fine between psychotic behavior and attempted murder.
Speaker 6: What he was, he was pretty full on those.
Speaker 4: Throwing space in the air at young kids because you're
Speaker 4: two older brothers and you called him the clown first. Yeah,
Speaker 4: zero tolerance. He's going to stand it out there.
Speaker 6: I spent a lot of time dodging after that.
Speaker 4: The javelin throw its lap term. Yeah, but anyways, like
Speaker 4: a man dictated and throwing them all right, Peter, thank
Speaker 4: you very much for the Chaplin story.
Speaker 1: No more caols now, christ you'connell show podcast.

Speaker 2: in it the supermarket last night to buy our nine
Speaker 2: year old some Manilla folders for school, like more stationary.
Speaker 4: Getting from the cupboard hair. Have you've seen them? Right?
Speaker 4: There's like way too much that. Who is using Millilla
Speaker 4: folders at a radio station? You know those top of
Speaker 4: the hour things Huggy does at nine o'clock. They all
Speaker 4: got me filed away, you know.
Speaker 2: No, if people didn't know, my husband works for Office Works,
Speaker 2: so we already look like we've got an office works
Speaker 2: in our office. At home, we've got post it nights

Speaker 4: a whole new level of like you know, when They
Speaker 4: don't even bring out the new map books of like
Speaker 4: the future of lever Arch files that we don't even
Speaker 4: know about yet that they can do with it.
Speaker 2: It's like an Aladdin's Caves. You open the wardrobe door
Speaker 2: and it's post it notes and pens and sharpies. Christian,
Speaker 2: it'd be a dream for you.
Speaker 4: I don't think if you want for office works you
Speaker 4: have to sort of store it at home.
Speaker 5: Are you outing him with someone who's stealing from work?
Speaker 4: What are you saying.
Speaker 2: He's taking it to clients all the new products?
Speaker 5: Well, why does it have to sit in his in
Speaker 5: his cupbo.
Speaker 2: Because is on the road. He's a WREA.
Speaker 4: But he's not opening his car boot and they're going
Speaker 4: more about this post it.
Speaker 2: If they actually do, Yes, he does, his.
Speaker 4: Cargoes meet around the back of the car. The car
Speaker 4: boot looks around under the spare wheel post it notes
Speaker 4: contraband half price to you retail, two dollars.
Speaker 10: For you one do.
Speaker 13: So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just like bursting at the scenes with Stationary

Speaker 2: we need.
Speaker 4: Can I just go to Chris's secret supplying cupboard is
Speaker 4: Smash and get some of that.
Speaker 2: These were special. These were like bronze colored folders and
Speaker 2: she just had to have them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jackie Boy, winning or losing the week?
Speaker 5: I'm winning actually because I went to the dentist yesterday.
Speaker 5: Usually the reason that you would be losing the week.
Speaker 5: But my dentist has put in a TV on his ceiling.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I didn't know this was a thing. I had to
Speaker 4: go last week. And there's it's no longer in front
Speaker 4: of you. Wheel don't it's on the ceiling.
Speaker 5: Oh, you've got it as well. I have such a nomalty.
Speaker 5: They put you in those ugly sunglasses and you wheel
Speaker 5: back and then I'm watching Channel nine. I'm watching a
Speaker 5: TV show about kids getting their driver's license while he's
Speaker 5: cleaning away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and did you find it more relaxing having it
Speaker 4: on the scene and in front of you?
Speaker 5: I found it so distracting from you know, the thing
Speaker 5: that he's putting in your mouth.
Speaker 4: I don't even They just talk about you in the
Speaker 4: dentist's chair like you're not not there. It's that a conversation.
Speaker 4: It's always that guy or lady behind his shoulder, right,
Speaker 4: it's sort of nods when you're going, and then there
Speaker 4: you go clues or nine or they do L five
Speaker 4: A clues or on that they're just talking code, aren't they.
Speaker 4: One you're just sort of sat there. And that horrible
Speaker 4: thing is that one where they put the hoover in.
Speaker 4: There's that miniature pickaxe that that thing just oh when
Speaker 4: they start chipping away filling.
Speaker 5: See I like the hoover thing that sucks up. Yeah,
Speaker 5: why because that means you don't have to swallow. That's
Speaker 5: what they.
Speaker 2: Doesn't like swallowing sensation though, don't you like you need
Speaker 2: to but you know you can't.
Speaker 5: I like the vacuum. The worst bit for me is
Speaker 5: that awkward moment when you were in the ugly sunglasses.
Speaker 5: You got your little bib on and you have to
Speaker 5: crunch up and drink the little flavored water.
Speaker 4: If you have a feeling and you've got no sensation,
Speaker 4: it just it just pours out and they just have
Speaker 4: your face.
Speaker 5: It's a very vulnerable moment.
Speaker 4: I wonder where we could ever start a hipster trend
Speaker 4: of buying, you know, those ugly sunglasses they've got and
Speaker 4: actually weighing them around town. When Summer's.
Speaker 1: Christianconnell Christian O'Connell.
Speaker 4: Show, I'm I'm losing a week if I'm really honest, right,
Speaker 4: there's two things that I've got going on the other
Speaker 4: day for second time the last couple of months, my
Speaker 4: oldest daughter hadn't backed up on her laptop a big
Speaker 4: school project. She's sixteen, so she's doing like these big
Speaker 4: essays like two thousand words or some like that. They
Speaker 4: keeps saying, you've got to back it up. So it's
Speaker 4: now my job to be in charge of both of
Speaker 4: my daughter's laptops and how they back up their work
Speaker 4: to some kind of backup device, you know, when you
Speaker 4: lean too hard or something. I was lecturing them like,
Speaker 4: you know, I've written amic and I can't lose chas
Speaker 4: and then they went, can you sort out how we
Speaker 4: back it up to a cloud? And I went.
Speaker 5: The fact that you're the I in these terrifying for everyone.
Speaker 4: Those two people are now going to foil their education.
Speaker 4: And I did the old it isn't for me to
Speaker 4: fix everything, qush it back, and then we're going, actually,
Speaker 4: this kind of thing it is, you know, cybersecurity, And
Speaker 4: now I've taken it on and going, I don't know,
Speaker 4: is it too much to bring their laptops in and
Speaker 4: get you know, the team here just to back up
Speaker 4: those as well to the gold cloud. I mean, what
Speaker 4: are the songs backs up on? I mean, what do
Speaker 4: you back up stuff?
Speaker 5: I think it does it automatically. Yeah, time machine has
Speaker 5: called on a mech is it?
Speaker 4: I don't really know how I noticed. If I asked
Speaker 4: Jack of follow up question, it's always I'm not really sure. Actually, Patsy,
Speaker 4: are you backing up the news?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 4: Have you got to say for the last thirty five
Speaker 4: years of news and probable all I have.
Speaker 2: I'm so old school. I have a hard copy of
Speaker 2: my news in case my computer crashes. That's my backup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to know what I don't even know
Speaker 4: what cloud to do it with these days. There's too
Speaker 4: many different clouds, isn't There's a Google one, the Apple one,
Speaker 4: and then they fight it out in the cloud for
Speaker 4: dominance today. Then there's the ask Zeneka one or that.
Speaker 4: The other thing that I've taken on, which is like,
Speaker 4: I don't even know where to start. Right My fourteen
Speaker 4: year old Orter Lowis said, I want to do some
Speaker 4: voluntary work right on. It's one great and they go,
Speaker 4: what do you want to do? Because I think and
Speaker 4: there's there iss places you can go and help out
Speaker 4: for free. She goes, I want to help out an
Speaker 4: animal shelter. That's trying to think. I said, right, okay,
Speaker 4: you know what you're like, where do you even where?
Speaker 4: I don't even know where are animal shelters. I don't
Speaker 4: even know where to begin. Is there like a long
Speaker 4: wait in this or be with a one to volunteer
Speaker 4: at animal sheltering. It's great thing that she wants to do,
Speaker 4: but I started to google it yesterday and I don't
Speaker 4: even know want.
Speaker 5: I think one thing you can do is go to
Speaker 5: the pound and take the dogs for a walk, because
Speaker 5: otherwise they don't get walked.
Speaker 4: So that's just roll up there and go. I've got
Speaker 4: I mean, I've got dogs. So I just turn up
Speaker 4: with some of my leads and just start, you know,
Speaker 4: open up the chain, mel fence, do set your dogs
Speaker 4: a wall. Today you have a have a coffee bak
Speaker 4: because this one's on me to just go to right
Speaker 4: the verification start every week she's volunteering. So yeah, I've
Speaker 4: just sawt it out myself. Finally, just roll up here,
Speaker 4: take the dogs out for a walk, start rapping the fence.
Speaker 4: It's two thousand dogs don't go there's a mass breakout
Speaker 4: as ill charge at a fence. I don't think you
Speaker 4: just roll up to the dog pad. If anyone can
Speaker 4: help me out about animal shelters that do you take
Speaker 4: kids on for volunteer work and stuff like that. She
Speaker 4: really wants to do so if anyone can help me,
Speaker 4: shoot me an email. Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com

Speaker 4: Yesterday evening I saw on Channel seven there was a
Speaker 4: big sort of two it epic. It was beautifully done,
Speaker 4: all these various Olympic highlights. It was like an advert
Speaker 4: for the twenty twenty one Tokyo Olympics, which is the
Speaker 4: midpoint of July, and obviously it's going to be last year,
Speaker 4: and we know why it got moved to this year,
Speaker 4: and it was it was like it's two minute. It
Speaker 4: was like a mini movie. There were so many highlights
Speaker 4: off then cath Freeman, but various highlights from various summer
Speaker 4: Olympics from all over the world and that, and it
Speaker 4: was so beautifully done about the Olympics and what it
Speaker 4: is to see these people you meet, these people who
Speaker 4: become household names you didn't really know of before. And
Speaker 4: it made me really excited about the Olympics. So I
Speaker 4: went online to see how close is that? It's eighty
Speaker 4: six days to go until the Olympics, and then I
Speaker 4: saw this article about five new sports. You know they
Speaker 4: always do the new five new sportsmen and I did
Speaker 4: not know this. This is good news for Australia. I
Speaker 4: think surfing is it? This is stacked in your favor
Speaker 4: Australia Team GB don't even mother taking a team out there.
Speaker 4: You ever tried to surf anywhere on the Ukka? There
Speaker 4: are some good beaches and stuff like that, but you guys,
Speaker 4: you must be a walk in a shoeing to get
Speaker 4: a medal on that. I didn't know surfing. I didn't
Speaker 4: know how would they how would they judge it? Or
Speaker 4: how did you gold? Silver bronze?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: I always think that about surfing is how do you
Speaker 5: win anything?
Speaker 4: Like? You just? I mean you how long you stay out?
Speaker 4: I don't really know how that is? It is it
Speaker 4: weight categories they've got that. Now is time for the
Speaker 4: light heavyweight surface right now. I don't know how they
Speaker 4: do it. It's surfing, skateboarding.
Speaker 5: I did know skateboarding was having.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that. I was remember
Speaker 4: there was uproar around the world when it was announced
Speaker 4: that bmxing was making its debut I think at London
Speaker 4: twenty twelve, but I went to watch it was absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 4: So they've got surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing. What's that climbing
Speaker 4: up a fifty football as quickly as you can. Look,
Speaker 4: that's tough.
Speaker 5: We can do it, Spot, it's really a sport.
Speaker 4: Even the name. They couldn't call it climbing. You know,
Speaker 4: you've got to put sport climbing in in case we'll
Speaker 4: go climbing.
Speaker 5: Is that a sport. Yeah, it's in the name spot clumb.
Speaker 4: Yeah, read it. Okay, it says what it is, sport climb.
Speaker 4: Must have called it Olympic really tough climbing. Karate's there time.
Speaker 4: Kwondo has been at the Olympics for a couple of Olympics.
Speaker 4: Now now karate's there, and then softball and baseball.
Speaker 5: I thought they were already in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too as well, so they're there as well.
Speaker 4: So the thing is right with all this excited about
Speaker 4: the Olympics, and I love watching any Olympics. Right, if
Speaker 4: you're an armchair sports enthusiasts, is great. You've got all
Speaker 4: these different sports and some of them people you've got
Speaker 4: no real vested interest, but you find yourself there in
Speaker 4: the afternoon or early in the evening because this is
Speaker 4: something amazing about seeing it. Does anyone know anyone who
Speaker 4: will be representing Australia come July, whether they're mums and
Speaker 4: dad's very proud grandparents, it might be a mate of
Speaker 4: a mate. I'd love to find over the next couple
Speaker 4: of weeks some people who are going to be going
Speaker 4: out there that we can all watch when the Olympics
Speaker 4: is on TV and get excited about. So if you
Speaker 4: do know anyone, it might be your son or your
Speaker 4: daughter who's getting ready. He's about to have the jab.
Speaker 4: I saw the impacts he's news today. Please shoot me
Speaker 4: an email. I'd love to get to know some of
Speaker 4: the future stars of the Olympics, or just people that
Speaker 4: we can really get behind out no matter how they
Speaker 4: get on. Email me Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com
Speaker 4: dot au. Now we said all that about sport climbing,
Speaker 4: I know the first email we're going to get is
Speaker 4: someone who does sport climbing. Who's really annoyed with what
Speaker 4: we just said?
Speaker 1: Christian o'connells show podcast.
Speaker 4: Yesterday, we were doing three top at Tuesday, we do
Speaker 4: three phone ins at the same time, and one of
Speaker 4: the topics was about secret rooms. Have you been in
Speaker 4: a secret room? We got this great story from Shari
Speaker 4: talking about seeing something extraordinary at the Crown, which wasn't
Speaker 4: just about secret room. It's also about our.
Speaker 15: Secret door fell I painted and from behind the bar.
Speaker 15: I don't know what they did, whether they pushed a
Speaker 15: button or whatever, but the wall behind me sweet open
Speaker 15: and it was like secret Service agents all came out
Speaker 15: with the little curly ear plugs and picked him up
Speaker 15: and took him through and the door closed again like
Speaker 15: within minutes.
Speaker 4: Amazing, right, And a couple of emails came in after
Speaker 4: that phone cool yesterday confirmed they had also seen new
Speaker 4: of the secret door at the Crown. There just various
Speaker 4: hidden partitions and doors opening up and people being we're
Speaker 4: not whiskedaway, isn't the right thing, I'm sure being tended to. Okay,
Speaker 4: the Crown's got enough going at the moment without anymore allegations,
Speaker 4: but just secret doorways and partitions. So this morning, I
Speaker 4: want to know about secret doors and doorways. It's the
Speaker 4: stuff of It's just of a child and Harry Potter
Speaker 4: stories and En you're blind about secret bookcases that you
Speaker 4: press and the revolve and Batman had one.
Speaker 5: As a kid, I wanted so badly to have a
Speaker 5: secret door somewhere in the house that I asked, Mum,
Speaker 5: can we have a secret door? And I imagine the
Speaker 5: same thing, a bookcase pushed aside and we'd walk into
Speaker 5: another room or a fireplace to turn around. Mum got
Speaker 5: this old screen door and put propped it up against
Speaker 5: the fence in between the fence and the side of
Speaker 5: the house and said, oh, now you can move the
Speaker 5: screen door and go down the side of the house.
Speaker 4: How simple does she think you were listen to.
Speaker 5: The secret door? No, I want the bookcase to turn around.
Speaker 4: When I was lucky enough once to be invited to
Speaker 4: something a functionate bucking and panas right, and we're all
Speaker 4: waiting for Queen need to turn up in this massive
Speaker 4: kind of state banquet room. It was just huge, ripe
Speaker 4: and suddenly these footmen arrived and it was like, oh,
Speaker 4: the Queen's coming. But she didn't arrive that way. She
Speaker 4: fooled everyone. Literally a door opened, right, and she just
Speaker 4: literally it was war war war wall and that of
Speaker 4: the queen. The wall opened the middle of the wall,
Speaker 4: and the Queen materialized through it, and then it sort
Speaker 4: of disappeared and it sealed back up, and you couldn't
Speaker 4: see the joint. You couldn't see the joint. And then
Speaker 4: when she sort of waved goodbye, she fell through trap door.
Speaker 4: Trap door, I made up again, Patsy, you have ever
Speaker 4: seen a secret door?
Speaker 2: I was in New York once with a girlfriend and
Speaker 2: we set one day aside on our trip to go
Speaker 2: and get some fake designer bags in Chinatown in the
Speaker 2: excuse me, everyone's.
Speaker 4: Gary, Gary, Guckie, George MNOs.
Speaker 2: There's a process that you have to abide by, right
Speaker 2: because when you go there, they've got police officers on
Speaker 2: these little.
Speaker 4: Machines dressed up as they're okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that as well is undercover cops, like it's a
Speaker 2: big industry.
Speaker 4: Prisons in America are overcrowded with ten years of hard labor,
Speaker 4: san quent and maximum security prison for buying Dodgy Louis.
Speaker 5: Every second Law and Order episode is n y PD.
Speaker 4: Special handbags, Unit City City throw the book at people
Speaker 4: like you.
Speaker 2: Town Hall at the time was doing this big crackdown,
Speaker 2: trying to push in. They were trying to push it down.
Speaker 4: These Gary Bill.
Speaker 2: Was because in all the papers anyway, there's a process
Speaker 2: that you have to go by. So they have these
Speaker 2: blokes standing on the corners in Chinatown. You avoid eye contact,
Speaker 2: but they're obvious. They're just standing there and they've got
Speaker 2: walkie talkies. So you go up to them.
Speaker 4: Avoid talkies. Bogan's be coming coming Australia.
Speaker 2: You've got to say what you want, so it might
Speaker 2: be Louis Bouton sort of under your breath, Louis Vuton.
Speaker 4: Because they've got monitoring devices.
Speaker 2: They've got ear plugs and walkie talkies anyway, So then
Speaker 2: you put your life in their hands. You have to
Speaker 2: follow these strangers right down the street. They disappear into
Speaker 2: a lane way. You follow them and we're like looking
Speaker 2: at one another, thinking is this safe? And then you
Speaker 2: walk up what appears to be a solid brick wall
Speaker 2: at the end of this lane way and you think,
Speaker 2: what is here? No, I'm serious, Jack, this actually happened.
Speaker 2: He talks on his walkie talkie and then Suddenly the
Speaker 2: wall slides to the side, a brick wall.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes you can. I just ask a quick question.
Speaker 4: Had you been drinking?
Speaker 2: No not at that stage.
Speaker 4: It was in the morning, right, Okay, the wall they
Speaker 4: just move a wall, It moved.
Speaker 2: There was a special magic door. It moved to the side,
Speaker 2: and there it was all this tackiness and plasticness of
Speaker 2: fake bags, cash only. I think I've got about three.
Speaker 5: Card Town Hall would be looking.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Daily Bugles, The Christian O'Connell show podcast, Lee, Good morning,
Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning Lee. Okay we're talking about secret doors.
Speaker 17: Yes. When I was back in London, there was in
Speaker 17: the Tape Modern Gallery we were asked to build walls
Speaker 17: in front of the concrete walls that were already there
Speaker 17: as secret tunnels, so that when or if there was
Speaker 17: ever an emergency or a fire or anything like that,
Speaker 17: the paintings can quickly be taken down, taken through these
Speaker 17: tunnel ways, down the stairs and into an underground storage area.
Speaker 4: This is amazing. Yeah, I mean it's some one of
Speaker 4: the world's most famous art galleries. I don't know the
Speaker 4: secret tunnels that you've built. I would always think if
Speaker 4: anything ever got stolen the first people I'd speak to
Speaker 4: were the people that built the secret tunnels, and you
Speaker 4: always that have got.
Speaker 5: Those, you didn't keep it key for yourself.
Speaker 4: Look back up. Unfortunately not so other tunnels also to
Speaker 4: bring like all this fine art which is worth you know, millions,
Speaker 4: some of it, you know, you kind of it's not
Speaker 4: even value like Van goes. Is that so that like
Speaker 4: new exhibits are just brought in via the secret tunnels?
Speaker 4: Because I guess you never see like double parked outside
Speaker 4: with the hazard lights on, big old enterprise rental van
Speaker 4: with two guys you know and coveralls this case, make
Speaker 4: sure to bring a van gofo in you can't have that.
Speaker 4: It's going to go to the secret.
Speaker 17: Tunnel exactly right, Yeah, that's exactly what it was for.
Speaker 17: So yeah, to move the art so it can be yeah, unseen.
Speaker 4: This is how they do it. And so is this
Speaker 4: what you do for a living? Build secret partitions and
Speaker 4: walls and tunnels?
Speaker 17: No, no, no, I I'm a carpenter. We just the
Speaker 17: company I work for just got the contractor to do it.
Speaker 4: This is brilliant. What a gig. All right, thank you
Speaker 4: very much. A coolie. All right, let's get into this then,
Speaker 4: So last week Jack told us about his new passion,
Speaker 4: which is chess.
Speaker 5: Yes, I watched the Queen's Gambit and then downloaded chess
Speaker 5: dot Com app where I can play against people all
Speaker 5: over the world. And I have been playing up to
Speaker 5: seventeen hours a week on the chess app.
Speaker 4: And this is amazing because chess is a very hard game.
Speaker 4: It's a game of strategy and skill and subterfuge and
Speaker 4: oh yeah there's subterfuge there as well. Yeah, And so
Speaker 4: seventeen hours a week, it's something you will enjoy as well.
Speaker 5: I every bit of spare time in the day, I
Speaker 5: will get on the chest. App Yank is starting to
Speaker 5: hate it because I don't do doing way less chores
Speaker 5: around the house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can imagine you seventeen hours a week, seven
Speaker 4: days a week. We can all do the maths here.
Speaker 4: There's plates and like dust and everything every part of up.
Speaker 5: And it's one of those things if you're playing somebody
Speaker 5: live in a different country, you can't stop the game
Speaker 5: because then it's unfair to that person.
Speaker 4: So once i'm int you played recently, you know it
Speaker 4: might be barrying Venezuela.
Speaker 5: I've played someone in Panama yesterday.
Speaker 4: Wow away and what do you know? Just a code
Speaker 4: name like themeister General.
Speaker 5: We all got code names.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's yours?
Speaker 5: Mine's Greg Internet. If anyone wants to look me up
Speaker 5: and play against.
Speaker 4: Greg Internet, I don't know what. No, there's got to
Speaker 4: be I know you, you think it.
Speaker 5: All, but it's not Internet. It's not a clever name.
Speaker 4: It's just well we know Greg Internet. Right anyway? So
Speaker 4: I asked chat last week, what do you be up
Speaker 4: for if I was to find someone who's a standard
Speaker 4: for your first ever live game.
Speaker 5: Yep, you get like a handicap almost. You get a rating.
Speaker 5: You start at twelve hundred, and then you either go
Speaker 5: up and down whether you're good or band. And I've
Speaker 5: moved down to about a nine hundred to one thousand player.
Speaker 4: Right, I found someone same level as you for your
Speaker 4: first game in here tomorrow morning. So last week I
Speaker 4: mentioned this and I got a load of emails from
Speaker 4: people who were up for doing this, and I've kind
Speaker 4: of sort of forgotten about it, and the next day
Speaker 4: show came along and I just I just forgot until
Speaker 4: on Thursday I got an amazing email that really brought
Speaker 4: this back into our life. I've even set up a secret,
Speaker 4: covert WhatsApp group with the other producers so I could
Speaker 4: share it with them. I created the WhatsApp group to
Speaker 4: share this email. Right, but you, Siria, was the first
Speaker 4: respond I could see all the others. You know this
Speaker 4: the little ghosty thing with their writing writing, right, but
Speaker 4: everyone's so excited. He actually said, I can't breathe so
Speaker 4: so exciting.
Speaker 5: It can just be so.
Speaker 4: You wait to stay with it, Jackie boy. So your
Speaker 4: opponent yesterday we played this out to Okay, this is
Speaker 4: this is who's coming in tomorrow morning to play Jack
Speaker 4: his first game of chess.
Speaker 3: Hi, Jack, this is a chess challenger. I'm ready to
Speaker 3: go toe to toe rook to work with you. Your ranking
Speaker 3: is more step best, so maybe I shall be leaningent.
Speaker 3: Come start training your forty eight hours. When I'm done
Speaker 3: with you, all the chest horses and all your chest
Speaker 3: friends won't be able to put jack posts together.
Speaker 4: Chillie. Yeah. And so I gave you a riddle at
Speaker 4: the end of yesterday's show. I said, they say in
Speaker 4: chess that the hardest opponent you can ever face is yourself.
Speaker 5: Yeah, which made me gives my brother or maybe my dad.
Speaker 5: But you said that that's not them.
Speaker 4: Okay, are you ready to meet your new, first ever
Speaker 4: real life chest nemesis.

Speaker 19: My week claim to fame is that at my school
Speaker 19: swimming sports, I hip and shouldered basketball great Andrew Gays.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Why did you do it?
Speaker 19: I didn't actually know that I've done it. I'm blind
Speaker 19: as a bat without glasses, so I swam my rais
Speaker 19: without glasses. I handed them to my sister. I got
Speaker 19: out the other end and clearly realized that no one
Speaker 19: else was there. I must have come dead last. Panicked,
Speaker 19: ran to the side to try and find my sister,
Speaker 19: bumped into someone and just kind of reeled off him.
Speaker 19: And when I got to my sister, she caught my
Speaker 19: arm and said, do you know what you did? And
Speaker 19: essentially I got out of the pool, panicked and sopping, wet,
Speaker 19: hip and child. And Andrew Gay bounced off him and
Speaker 19: just kept going who.
Speaker 4: He works also as a lifeguard at the local.
Speaker 19: Wreck He was good friends with our science teacher, right.
Speaker 4: Gotcha, still still teacher.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to their swim par.
Speaker 4: Bring along mates, so it's an easy way to catch up,
Speaker 4: you know, while they running by the ball. Sorry, I look.
Speaker 19: Until I thought about this story, I didn't realize and
Speaker 19: it was an old girls school too, So I don't
Speaker 19: want to go.
Speaker 17: Into that piece.
Speaker 4: That's not that's not for so many reasons. Okay, Karina,
Speaker 4: thank you very much your story of a good day.
Speaker 19: Thanks you too.
Speaker 4: We move on, Tim, Tim Ohi Christian, thanks Jimmy, Hey Tim, Tim,
Speaker 4: what have you got for us? Your weakest claim to fame?

Speaker 16: by Jeff Finnick in Chef Melbourne in traffic.
Speaker 4: In traffic, Yeah you don't you do you want to
Speaker 4: be flipping the birds to three three weights world champion? No,
Speaker 4: actually it's my fault. I'm going to punch myself exactly.
Speaker 17: I was in me.
Speaker 16: I was driving down to killed the road in the track.
Speaker 16: A little convertible cut in front of me, beound the
Speaker 16: castpot and thought he'd stop and back into the cars spot.
Speaker 16: So I thought I'd pull up and compliment him on
Speaker 16: he's driving skills, put the hazards on were on the
Speaker 16: window down, and began complimenting him, and he hopped out
Speaker 16: and looked like he was ready for another world Championship.
Speaker 4: So I reckon, Jeff just pulled that start this part
Speaker 4: wherever he went round down. What's anyone going to do?
Speaker 10: Exactly exactly?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tim, thank you very much to go have a
Speaker 4: good day. So you guys all right, that's what we're
Speaker 4: looking for.

Speaker 14: dork because he was in track sits and he asked
Speaker 14: for a photo with Ozzy Osbourne and he got it
