Speaker 2: Got anything good?
Speaker 1: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Now it
Speaker 1: is Wednesday morning. It's to middle of the week. Something
Speaker 1: we do on Wednesday as we ask you about your
Speaker 1: week so far. Free Word Wednesday. Patsy, what's it for you?
Speaker 2: Dog? Eight glasses?
Speaker 1: Well we it's a classic Patsy. It's a dog eating
Speaker 1: story and the glasses being lost.
Speaker 2: It's the long running saga of my glasses.
Speaker 3: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I've got a listed. We just need to let because
Speaker 1: we've obviously got a lot of people coming new to
Speaker 1: the show. Patsy's dog is a small horse. He is
Speaker 1: like a pony, like a grown up ow packer. So
Speaker 1: what's the brand? He's bread every in these days of
Speaker 1: brand guys.
Speaker 2: He's an Italian sheep dog. If you've seen the odd
Speaker 2: Ball movie.
Speaker 1: An Italian sheep dog, and they're renowned for those sheep dogs.
Speaker 1: Are the Italians in.
Speaker 2: The Pyrenees Mountains, That's where his ancestors are.
Speaker 1: Oh, now it makes sense why he's such a big,
Speaker 1: old hearty dog.
Speaker 2: He looks like the Bundy Bear yes, yes, we've been
Speaker 2: out walking him and people have accused him of looking
Speaker 2: like the Bundy Bear, and that's fair because he does.
Speaker 2: He's a beautiful boy. But I don't know what's got
Speaker 2: into him. So he's eight years of age, he's well
Speaker 2: out of that puppy stage where they chew every single thing.
Speaker 2: But the last week he's got into a few things
Speaker 2: and the glasses.
Speaker 1: Yes, the tom Fords, the tom Ford Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Ray, my optomatist, Ray will be listening produces.
Speaker 1: Can you wake up tom Ford right now? And he
Speaker 1: needs to get back in that workshop he's got out
Speaker 1: the back by the poolhouse and make a new pair
Speaker 1: for Patsy.
Speaker 2: I think I'm single handly handedly propping up his business,
Speaker 2: tom Ford. Why do they always with puppy dogs when
Speaker 2: they destroy something, It's not it's never like the sheep.
Speaker 2: It's always they've got a taste for good.
Speaker 1: That's so true. I remember once dropping off our shepherd dog,
Speaker 1: So yeah, German shepherd dog when she was about a
Speaker 1: year at a dog sitter. So you pay them, you
Speaker 1: drop the dog off, and so you know, they look
Speaker 1: after the dog and they walk them twice to night.
Speaker 1: So it's a great deal. Came back to pit the
Speaker 1: dog up and she'd eaten the guys. We're not eating them,
Speaker 1: but really destroys his work shoes, And so I oftened
Speaker 1: to buy a new pair, thinking he said, don't be
Speaker 1: no eat ate the money. I had to pay two
Speaker 1: hundred bucks when you pay shoes. Well, and I looked
Speaker 1: at those shoes. They were not two hundred dog shoes.
Speaker 1: These are not Tom for scholars.
Speaker 2: I woke up from my nap yesterday and these glasses
Speaker 2: they weren't sort of on the floor anywhere that he
Speaker 2: could well, he can access because he's so tall, but
Speaker 2: they were just sitting on my bedside table. I'd taken
Speaker 2: them off to have a nap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this dog sort of dog head level, isn't it.
Speaker 1: They think that that's like I walk up buffet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just help myself. That's weird, I thought, But that's
Speaker 2: not unusual for me to lose a pair of glasses.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: I went out the backyard to hang washing out. I thought,
Speaker 2: what's that on the grass.
Speaker 3: It is the Tom fads and all the lenses wear mask.
Speaker 1: She's now expecting it with all the hyperbole. I've got
Speaker 1: a list here, I said, the producers. Can we get
Speaker 1: a list of what Patsy's dog's eating? So obviously the
Speaker 1: most recent one was the tom four glasses, the arms
Speaker 1: of an outdoor recliner.
Speaker 2: Chris is outdoor recliner at the weekend.
Speaker 1: Your daughter audery schoolbag, six outdoor chair cushions, barbecue wheels,
Speaker 1: barbecue knobs, barbecue hoses, outdoor heater guards, sony garden lights,
Speaker 1: half a rock melon slash canter loop you know that
Speaker 1: well known hybrid, you know, watermelon lamb chops calling for
Speaker 1: dinner and apossum. Oh yeah. And then there's a couple
Speaker 1: as you missed off team, there's Harold Holt and some
Speaker 1: foreigners and Aridge A yeah, Rio, what is your three
Speaker 1: word weeks so far?
Speaker 4: I reckon there's two types of people in this world,
Speaker 4: and I think I know where all three of us four.
Speaker 3: If reception is unattended.
Speaker 4: There are those that ring the bell, and there are
Speaker 4: those like me that are too cowardly to ring the bell.
Speaker 3: What are you, Patsy?
Speaker 2: What do you mean ring the bell?
Speaker 3: Like ring the.
Speaker 1: Little bell at the death, you know, for attention? Ring
Speaker 1: all the complicated census hasn't started early?
Speaker 2: I mean bell, I will bag that damn thing right
Speaker 2: through the desk.
Speaker 1: My wife would I won't. I wait a day.
Speaker 3: There for I'm so scared to press it.
Speaker 1: I would never do that.
Speaker 4: It's like I will get shivers just like hovering over it,
Speaker 4: because that's loud.
Speaker 1: It's so what I would do is so I might
Speaker 1: do this move, I'll go and sit down and do this.
Speaker 1: That's even worse.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's like I think car Horn should have. You've actually
Speaker 1: got the big old Bear. You should have a milder
Speaker 1: one where excuse.
Speaker 3: Me if they just haven't taken offrom the lights.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're getting the covers of second Squeaze any longer
Speaker 1: than get the big Old Ben.
Speaker 2: Just makes it awkward when you.
Speaker 1: Do that, though, because it could be I could be
Speaker 1: getting over a spicy cough. Sorry I got the old coughs.
Speaker 1: But they don't wake you up for me lunch break?
Speaker 1: Did I?
Speaker 3: I was at the physio yesterday.
Speaker 4: I still haven't rehabbed my rold ankle from about two
Speaker 4: months ago, and I sat there. There was no one reception.
Speaker 4: I sat there, no joke for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: So hang on a minute, so understand the context. You're
Speaker 1: on time for an appointment. Yes, you ring the bell? Really? Yes?
Speaker 3: No, I still I still know it's.
Speaker 1: You're but they charged you. That's you're going to get
Speaker 1: less time. They could have a client coming in after you.
Speaker 1: You only get half time? No, surely not.
Speaker 4: I still got a full session eventually when I well,
Speaker 4: I didn't end up ringing the bell. Actually there was
Speaker 4: a braver a woman who came in who was probably
Speaker 4: the patient after me. She walked in went straight to
Speaker 4: counter rung the bell without even hesitating.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't believe how brave she.
Speaker 1: My wife would be exactly the same, right, perhaps probably
Speaker 1: would as well. That's and that actually is a probably
Speaker 1: grown up way to behave.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what it's there for, so use it.
Speaker 4: But it's scary, don't you think you're like be you're
Speaker 4: like annoying them or like you're like come.
Speaker 1: Here to repeat it? Ding ding ding ding is rude.
Speaker 1: Oh that is a mild little life.
Speaker 3: There's protein.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very gentle touch though, because they're very
Speaker 4: sensitive though to be app will actually do it.
Speaker 1: And also it is there for a reason, as Pat said, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it obviously means it's on man's when they're treating patients.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know, but the thought of it
Speaker 4: actually just makes my blood run cold.
Speaker 1: I think I'm guessing if I'm getting a treatment, then
Speaker 1: I hear some fall out there, ringing a bell. It's stressful, yes, exactly.
Speaker 4: But I think maybe it's a gender thing as well.
Speaker 4: Do you think it's like a man woman thing? Like
Speaker 4: I'm too scared to do it, but I think women
Speaker 4: are better at standing up for themselves and like asserting themselves,
Speaker 4: whereas men, I think in those situations are mostly cowards.
Speaker 1: I agree, I shouldn't agree. I don't know. If men
Speaker 1: listen to let's go Christians stand out for us. God,
Speaker 1: damn it, I'll be lying. I'll be absolutely lying. And
Speaker 1: I live in a house with three women, and so
Speaker 1: I see how even my nineteen and twenty two year
Speaker 1: old daughters they bring the damn bad ring the bell,
Speaker 1: the amount of times where they've gone white. And you know,
Speaker 1: we were out to dinner and I don't like my food,
Speaker 1: and they go, why don't you say something?
Speaker 2: I would something like me there in so it's like
Speaker 2: you need to say.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm sorry, should eat the crap food. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: actually I've hardly eating any of it, and they go, actually,
Speaker 1: is everything okay? But the food anything? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm something not hungry.
Speaker 3: If they brought the wrong thing, I probably wouldn't give
Speaker 3: it back.
Speaker 1: No, no, no no. If they brought me the wrong drink,
Speaker 1: I'm kicking off the table is getting tipped over. My
Speaker 1: three word week so far is access all areas on
Speaker 1: the way in. This morning, an uber driver picked me up.
Speaker 1: He's picked me up a couple of times. He works
Speaker 1: in ATC traffic Control and oneever chance, this is a
Speaker 1: very interesting job. We know nothing about what goes on
Speaker 1: in those rooms. Anyway. I'm asking him so many questions
Speaker 1: about how it works, how big is a team, and
Speaker 1: how do you divide it all up? And he was
Speaker 1: talking about the different sectors in the country as I
Speaker 1: was asking about what's the busiest air space. It's obviously
Speaker 1: between the corridor between Melbourne and Sydney and all the stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just interesting because we know nothing about it. And
Speaker 1: he said, hey, listen, you see we're interested. Do you
Speaker 1: want to come round to come and have a look.
Speaker 1: I would love that. I'm thinking about doing a thing
Speaker 1: on the show Can I play School for grown ups?
Speaker 1: Where it's like access all areas or Australia's hidden rooms,
Speaker 1: she said. Normally we're not allowed to bring people in,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm pretty sure you could come in.
Speaker 4: You're like the kid that gets into the cock piers
Speaker 4: on the jets stop.
Speaker 1: I'd love to go in those rooms to see the
Speaker 1: big monitors and what goes on. There's play school for
Speaker 1: grownups when you want to come and see what goes
Speaker 1: on in the air traffic control room?
Speaker 3: What does this button do?
Speaker 1: No? No, not what George does that button do? No?
Speaker 1: Just to not know you're not touching any buttons, but
Speaker 1: high up there, what are they doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really curious.
Speaker 1: Actually, yes, please do it. So I've got the air
Speaker 1: traffic controller. And then I remember that last year. I
Speaker 1: don't know why they came to email me. Will we
Speaker 1: talking about brain surgery? But anyway, I get an email
Speaker 1: from a brain surgeon saying you seem interested. Do you
Speaker 1: want to come around and watch one? We're not come around.
Speaker 1: It doesn't do it at home, but come over to the surgery.
Speaker 1: I'd loved when you want to watch a brain surgery, It's.
Speaker 4: Pretty intense watching someone's head opened up. How fascinating that
Speaker 4: would you get to go in the actual operating theater.
Speaker 1: I thought you're going to say go in the head hey,
Speaker 1: because you wanted to just do this bit here. No
Speaker 1: no no no no no no my god, no no
Speaker 1: no no no no, I presume so wow, please do this.
Speaker 1: I would love it. So I just need more invites
Speaker 1: to Australia's hidden rooms, because that's what this really is.
Speaker 1: Australia will have loads of these hidden rooms. You know
Speaker 1: there's one I'd love to get to it, Like the
Speaker 1: MCG where's the room where they press the.
Speaker 3: I know that there is a big red button.
Speaker 1: I've seen a phone, but where is that? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure.
Speaker 4: I'd love to go into the the where they do.
Speaker 4: Like the var the video review at the mside, I would.
Speaker 1: And break them all because it doesn't work. It's useless.
Speaker 3: I want to see what sort of cameras.
