Speaker 2: Got anything good?
Speaker 3: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Good morning, pats Morning, Good morning, do you Sirio? Alex Culling,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning. So yesterday morning, at the start
Speaker 1: of the show, I mentioned how I'd seen on the
Speaker 1: way into this radio station someone had written in chalk
Speaker 1: on the wall, be the best part of somebody else's day,
Speaker 1: And yesterday I think it had an impact on the show.
Speaker 1: I think on some level it weave some kind of magic. Yes,
Speaker 1: So I want to try just keep this going. Okay,
Speaker 1: So today I've asked Patsy to find a morning mantra
Speaker 1: that could set up our day. Right. Perhaps, what have
Speaker 1: you got mate?
Speaker 2: This is it today? Be the reason someone smiles today?
Speaker 2: I think it is. When we're so busy rushing et
Speaker 2: a bit, you know, kicking off life's check least, it's
Speaker 2: hard to get in your head and not notice the
Speaker 2: world around you. If you're out walking the dog today,
Speaker 2: look someone in the eye and say hello, good day.
Speaker 2: Isn't it a lovely day? Costs nothing? And you know what.
Speaker 2: You don't know what that other person's going through. That
Speaker 2: might just make their day to have a friendly face
Speaker 2: and a friendly conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It doesn't take more than a couple
Speaker 1: of seconds sometimes to have a really nice exchange with somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even a hallo nice day or cold this morning. Even
Speaker 1: in that couple of seconds, you're just saying to somebody,
Speaker 1: I see you, you matter. That's it. You both leave
Speaker 1: energize from a small encounter that you don't need to
Speaker 1: have a big, hour long chat with somebody. Sometimes even if.
Speaker 4: You're just walking past someone, you know, walking around a
Speaker 4: park or something like that, and you get there, even
Speaker 4: if you don't say anything, you just do a little.
Speaker 5: Nod and not in that it's not that and you go, hey,
Speaker 5: I see you man.
Speaker 1: What about doing this the old two fingers? Yeah? What
Speaker 1: about the shoot to McGavin pistols to somebody that's aggressive?
Speaker 6: Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1: Actually, maybe this day and age, someone's getting a corn
Speaker 1: triple zero. There's a guy of the dog Park pretenders.
Speaker 1: They'll be popping people's I think he's on the radio.
Speaker 1: Have you a mad time at the moment? With the
Speaker 1: ratings out this week. It's not dropping very well. He's
Speaker 1: wearing his firing pistols. Yes, he's firing air pistols off
Speaker 1: into the air. Patsy, just repeat that today's morning match again.
Speaker 2: Be the reason someone smiles today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that one, Patsy. That's really nice. I
Speaker 1: tell you what made me smile yesterday my eldest daughter,
Speaker 1: Ruby's twenty one. She couldn't make it back home on
Speaker 1: Sunday for Father's Day. So we met up last night
Speaker 1: and we had a kind of late Father's Day dinner.
Speaker 1: It was even better in a way, brilliant because Lois,
Speaker 1: my younger daughter, saw her Sunday I got to Father's Day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then when the restaurant were like, are you celebrating something,
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's Father's Day. They give us a free
Speaker 1: round of drinks. Were like, this is so nice because
Speaker 1: you're not meet up Sunday, I went parish, you couldn't
Speaker 1: be doing an And then because my I mentioned this
Speaker 1: the other week, she's moved into a new place right
Speaker 1: and she's been doing quite a bit of DIY so
Speaker 1: she said, you know, I offered to come around. She
Speaker 1: was not, I want to know how to do this stuff.
Speaker 1: And so yesterday I presented to her. We went to
Speaker 1: Leonardo's she you know, the great pizza place. It's only
Speaker 1: about ten minutes away she is now. And so during
Speaker 1: our dinner together over pizzas, I gave her and this
Speaker 1: is a moment in any young girl's life, her first
Speaker 1: adjustable socket set. Oh wow, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, excuse me,
Speaker 1: way to get us to get a photo of us together,
Speaker 1: just to mark this polaroid moment.
Speaker 2: What do you use a socket for?
Speaker 1: While she's doing flat pack? So, yeah, it's got the
Speaker 1: hex Q, it's got the hex adjustable X ones and
Speaker 1: also the the the Phillips and the flathead as well.
Speaker 1: So it's a whole load of adjustabent, a whole kit.
Speaker 1: Yeah something you are about that to THEE HOWND isn't
Speaker 1: here the socket?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love that. You're right and it's a please sensation.
Speaker 1: Noise Is also gave her. She's got the answer woken up.
Speaker 1: You know when the season has changed. You love a
Speaker 1: very first. I also gave us some w D forty
Speaker 1: because every home needs a w D forty, right. I
Speaker 1: gave us some ant rid, the little stuff you can
Speaker 1: use indoors and a multi socket board as well. You
Speaker 1: need always helpful, always help So this this pacey yesterday
Speaker 1: did the thing you know all restaurants do this. We
Speaker 1: got there at six o'clock and so it was like
Speaker 1: to starting to fill up. Why do restaurants always cram
Speaker 1: you on top of each other? Yes, so there's there's
Speaker 1: empty tables over there. There was clearly a couple on
Speaker 1: a second or third day. We're crammed next to them,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to be too aware of us.
Speaker 1: We really don't want to be too aware of them.
Speaker 1: Then suddenly there's a dad handing over a series of
Speaker 1: bizarre objects to his daughter. The socket set, a multi
Speaker 1: point outridden. At one point I had in a one
Speaker 1: of those little food baggs you don't see through food bags. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a whole load of herbal mugwort tea. It looked like
Speaker 1: it was a bag of weed. I know what you
Speaker 1: want to let's just see. You want to get your
Speaker 1: socket on, you want some ants stuff, and you want
Speaker 1: a bag of weed. Dad's got it all. Happy Father's Day.
Speaker 1: Dad of the Year.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: You've gotta be honest. I feel a bit sick this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh So last night we had these pizzas and I
Speaker 1: said to my daughter, you pick, let's have a drink.
Speaker 1: What do you pick for us? She goes, oh, let's
Speaker 1: get a Pina Kanada Tuesday. I mean when you're twenty
Speaker 1: one year a student, sure fifty two going to get
Speaker 1: up at four the next morning Peanu Canada and tuesd night.
Speaker 1: So I was like, absolutely, Peinada and a pizza. My guy,
Speaker 1: heavy day, I didn't sleep.
Speaker 5: Well, what's a coconut creamy.
Speaker 1: And pineapple and my tom Tom? And then she pizza,
Speaker 1: make a big ass pizza.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe a Hawaiian pizza. It would match.
Speaker 5: What pizza did you get?
Speaker 1: I got a.
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 1: The pizzas that Leonardo's are incredible, right this institution, that
Speaker 1: place I got, they do this really nice pepperoni one,
Speaker 1: but I got it with pineapple on top.
Speaker 4: Oh, like you just sort of like added this between
Speaker 4: that and a Hawaiian that's.
Speaker 5: For different meats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but so what the meat and meat?
Speaker 5: You would have offended them at leone.
Speaker 1: Because when I old that, the guy went said, do
Speaker 1: you want a Hawaiian I went no, no, no, I want
Speaker 1: a pepperoni pizza with pineapple on top. And he went right,
Speaker 1: and he was a hipster with a stupid mustache. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to bring that up and went, I ain't
Speaker 1: going to be judged by you, hitler. Okay, he I
Speaker 1: said to him. He goes so Hawaiian. I went, no,
Speaker 1: that's ham. Take out the ham a pepperoni. You got
Speaker 1: a pepperoni and pineapple pizza.
Speaker 5: There's serious pizza.
Speaker 1: It's available. If it's got like options you want to
Speaker 1: add on, then why have it there? And then shame
Speaker 1: me in front of my daughter. We're having a bonding
Speaker 1: experience over adjustable sockets.
Speaker 4: I think you may be supposed to add a bit
Speaker 4: of chili flags anchovies at best, but I don't think
Speaker 4: you're supposed to go rogue and chuck pineapple on their
Speaker 4: traditional pepperoni pizza.
Speaker 1: Leveling it up the best part of somebody else's pizza day.
Speaker 5: You're boging up that pizza.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I mvy bogans. They're happy people.
Speaker 1: They're not self conscious. They want to put pineapple on
Speaker 1: top of any pizza, anchovies, whatever it is, they go
Speaker 1: for it. They love life. They tasted amazing. Okay, you
Speaker 1: had the peppery sensation of the pepperoni. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: is there a party in my mouth? Right now? That's right?
Speaker 1: Do you know who got invited? Pineapple, which always brings
Speaker 1: it citrus tang, but sing out that pepper Yeah, shut
Speaker 1: that down, cheers with a pina colada. It's like a
Speaker 1: cement mixer in my stomach. And then she went to wait,
Speaker 1: since two am, we go the gym or something there
Speaker 1: can burn this off. How was your day yesterday, Patsy?
Speaker 1: What did you get up to?
Speaker 2: Had a great day yesterday? What did I get up
Speaker 2: to yesterday? Chris was working from home?
Speaker 1: How do you find that?
Speaker 2: It's driving me insane?
Speaker 1: A lot of couples must experience this, because now it's
Speaker 1: like it's odd. We've got this big office here and
Speaker 1: you have all these big empty offices that are pretty
Speaker 1: much they're never one hundred percent of fall. Now it
Speaker 1: actually makes me really sad when we go wandering out
Speaker 1: there during the show. It's empty after nine o'clock, when
Speaker 1: you see everyone was in Monday to Friday and now
Speaker 1: it's like it is just like a deserted space station.
Speaker 1: We're the only people that survived some sort of plaguely,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's it's empty out there. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that must be the same everywhere now. But some offices
Speaker 1: are making you come back to work. Yes, yeah, dragon,
Speaker 1: what a lovely what a lovely conversation. That must be
Speaker 1: your boss. You have to come to this miserable place.
Speaker 1: I know you prefer to be happier at home, but
Speaker 1: we don't want you happy and we don't trust you
Speaker 1: to do anything. So you'll be here. I can see you.
Speaker 1: The bosses are like lifeguards. Whistles are a big high chair. Actually,
Speaker 1: suer boss would love that we should get.
Speaker 2: Like a lifeguard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you work harder, how you sell the ASTs? Well?
Speaker 1: Col Winston with the why back, I haven't heard him
Speaker 1: on for a while, and we heard him on nover.
Speaker 1: Give him a call. Closed the deal by lunch time
Speaker 1: they get one of those sharks sirens, big whistle.
Speaker 2: He's just driving me insane yesterday, and so every time
Speaker 2: we come down for a coffee, he'd have to have
Speaker 2: a conversation, which I know sounds awful, but I just
Speaker 2: I you time, Yeah, I just my brain after the
Speaker 2: show has no capacity for conversation till about sort of
Speaker 2: four or five at night.
Speaker 1: At quite out window where.
Speaker 2: You don't want to hear he's soon quiet. I don't
Speaker 2: want people talking about.
Speaker 1: And again, what was that manto we had ten minutes ago?
Speaker 2: This didn't last long.
Speaker 1: What is it about?
Speaker 5: Just not Chris, not fre.
Speaker 1: Eight hours during the day. I'm kind to strangers, but
Speaker 1: my beloved husband. I don't want to speak to you
Speaker 1: or see you.
Speaker 2: Don't ask me on a Tuesday what the plans for
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday.
Speaker 2: And I don't know about the political view that you're
Speaker 2: I don't have a view on that because I just.
Speaker 8: Don't right, this is what this is what that's better
Speaker 8: at the office, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's a water cooler chat. You're right, you just want
Speaker 1: to You need your head space, patch.
Speaker 2: Not only my headspace, my own. I don't I don't
Speaker 2: want to see anyone until like four, when the school
Speaker 2: bus comes. Then you can all converge and then we'll
Speaker 2: have a chat. But this is sort of sacred, and
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to anyone, and the just
Speaker 2: let me have my salad sandwich.
Speaker 1: My wife does at the same time. Sometimes I'll come
Speaker 1: back earlier from I don't know what. It doesn't feel
Speaker 1: early to me. It's just I'm just coming back home.
Speaker 1: My wife goes, oh, I wasn't expecting you back now.
Speaker 1: It's now not a good time to come into the
Speaker 1: place I living. And you go, oh, you don't need
Speaker 1: to talk to any about anything. No, So I just
Speaker 1: need I just needment. I don't need a big conversation
Speaker 1: about it. But you're right, he's mistaking you for a colleague,
Speaker 1: just to have some of that clunky, sort of clunky
Speaker 1: small talk. But the water cool, the photocopy.
Speaker 2: He's a people person. And I thought, oh, I can't
Speaker 2: go into the office and do this today.
Speaker 1: Really, so what did you say? Did you say someone
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: I do that thing where and Audrey picks me up
Speaker 2: on it all the time where I'll go.
Speaker 5: Uh huh, yeah, if.
Speaker 2: You're not really listening, mom, I can tell you not
Speaker 2: even really.
Speaker 1: We get a lot doing the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh really, it's.
Speaker 1: Interesting, okay, and it'd be like this tomorrow. Well, let's
Speaker 1: talking between the songs antient to engage me.
Speaker 2: I think, oh, moms, so guilty of it though, because
Speaker 2: we're doing a million different things. Here you are and
Speaker 2: Master is doing it. Oh that's oh, that's great.
Speaker 1: So you do need your breathing space when you can
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I do, just to you know, just to
Speaker 2: come down from that top of the mountain peak that
Speaker 2: we're on by nine o'clock after this.
Speaker 1: However, the other side of this is if I'm just
Speaker 1: saying about my personal if I have a say my wife,
Speaker 1: I'm not really up for a chit chat right now,
Speaker 1: that is an option the other way around. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: an option. It has, But when I do that, it's
Speaker 1: it's aggressive. Actually, not in the mood for chit chat
Speaker 1: right now. It's just going to have my own special
Speaker 1: time right now. But why seems to think that this
Speaker 1: is that time. It's like a pilot, a surgeon. She
Speaker 1: thinks this is But you've had that. Now, now's your
Speaker 1: grown up time. Now you need to be in the world.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian Pepperonium Pineapple Works. I also add blue cheese that
Speaker 1: is a like actually is it's Richard is the name?
Speaker 1: It's a king's name, King Pizza King Richard. Oh that's
Speaker 1: a heavy logo. And on wash that down with a
Speaker 1: can of pinucolada. You're good to go. On a Tuesday night,
Speaker 1: Christian I tell you what makes me smile. Pats's old
Speaker 1: timey stories of her having to walk ten miles in
Speaker 1: the snow with no shoes up here with the sack
Speaker 1: of wood on her back and then back again.
Speaker 2: When's the last time I talked about my Monday?
Speaker 1: They are like that. That one she tried to tell
Speaker 1: us that she used to have to swim in a creek.
Speaker 2: There was a creek running through the back of our
Speaker 2: primary school.
Speaker 1: You used to swimming it to get to school, not
Speaker 1: to get Yeah, and punch ourselves in the eye with spikes.
Speaker 1: That was our lunch weight. Lucky to have it made
Speaker 1: us tough, lucky headlines.
Speaker 10: We never had lunch.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Pats had to kill herself with the bare hands,
Speaker 1: rip ox and apart, shew it eat the heart.
Speaker 2: Used to get snakes a lot on the cricket pitch,
Speaker 2: and we'd have to go to the staff room and
Speaker 2: the tea be a shovel outside the staff room for
Speaker 2: that very reason.
Speaker 5: Snake shovel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the summer, Absolutely, you'd relate to the selex.
Speaker 10: Definitely saw so many school yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I went in a class with you. No not,
Speaker 1: Oh David, look what you've done though you've broken out
Speaker 1: to one of those, just like said old neighbors Chan
Speaker 1: the fence snakes. You say, Maureen, gon hear you in
Speaker 1: the garden, Maureen. All right, let's get our phones out.
Speaker 1: What have we been googling the last twenty four hours?
Speaker 1: Open tabs here whenever you want to have a look
Speaker 1: at what I've googled just in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: It's just because we can now to just chuck anything
Speaker 1: throughout the day into Google. It's crazy the stuff that
Speaker 1: you just vomit up. So this morning I woke up.
Speaker 1: I want to know how Island had got on in
Speaker 1: their World Cup qualify match against Armenia. Amenia ranked one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifth in the world. They haven't won this year.
Speaker 1: They've got beat my Portugal, who are in that group
Speaker 1: as well, five nil. Island lost a huge storied. Island
Speaker 1: is fuming with the team, the coach and rightly so.
Speaker 1: Armenia one hundred and fifth in the world. So it's
Speaker 1: now harder now for Island to make it to the
Speaker 1: World Cup next year because obviously Australia is there and
Speaker 1: apparently they were taking part in the ashes. According to
Speaker 1: Alexadir and the Sports News against the un English team
Speaker 1: New Zealand. That's the Giants. So yeah, I was looking
Speaker 1: at that, and I want to see how Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: had gone for his first game with the Steelers.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, he still slinging it against his old team.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. He smashed them. He threw a couple
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. And then I need to I need to
Speaker 1: find out how to change over. I didn't know you
Speaker 1: could do this. You can change over a fridge store.
Speaker 1: You can move the hinge to the other side. My
Speaker 1: daughter wants me to do it, right, and I was like,
Speaker 1: can you do that? She says, yeah, but you need
Speaker 1: to get a special You need to get a new
Speaker 1: hinge to put it on the other side and do this.
Speaker 1: I really want to do this for her. This feels
Speaker 1: like a it's this a doable thing that someone will
Speaker 1: my skill set.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say it is a doable thing, but
Speaker 4: then for someone gift gifted with other talent. But it
Speaker 4: is annoying because when we got our new fridge, I
Speaker 4: had to suddenly switch from it's now left hand door,
Speaker 4: and I spent constantly muscle memory goes on the right
Speaker 4: hand side, so it would be a beautiful gift to
Speaker 4: your door. To be able to switch the hinges.
Speaker 1: Around people would have done this. Is it tough? Is it?
Speaker 5: It looks hard? It's a big fridge door. They're not live.
Speaker 1: No, they're not light, and it's like lining it back up.
Speaker 1: And I think you obviously need if you're on the
Speaker 1: easy bit is unscrewing it. But then you're left with
Speaker 1: how do you reattach it on the other side? Can
Speaker 1: you swap over that? But that hinge would have been
Speaker 1: a righty yes, yeah, yeah, you know I need to
Speaker 1: go from the right hinge to a left hinge as
Speaker 1: you approach the door. Now do I need to buy
Speaker 1: a new hinge? And obviously need to try and find
Speaker 1: out what the fridge is a Westinghouse, I think.
Speaker 5: Blind leading the blind because finitely I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: You ever changed the fridge hinge over?
Speaker 2: No, no, I didn't even know you could. But I
Speaker 2: reckon Robert E and S would be able to.
Speaker 1: He's the owner. I can't say a a millionaire owner.
Speaker 1: So I said, you don't say the bezos what I'm
Speaker 1: bringing around? What you bring my books? I bought advertiser.
Speaker 1: Why say you get some spanners and come round to
Speaker 1: my daughter's place and change your free store. On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I went to two till three slot there rob E
Speaker 1: and s. Yeah yeah, listen, change my daughter's free store.
Speaker 1: You can't change, you cannot reach.
Speaker 8: I changed the washing machine store at the hinge over real, Yes,
Speaker 8: did you?
Speaker 1: And I was really worried about that because that is
Speaker 1: that's water.
Speaker 2: That's like a two or three person job for a fridge,
Speaker 2: like you need someone to hold it. Well, you surely
Speaker 2: take it off the bracket.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I reckon, that's the one person thing. You do,
Speaker 8: the thing where you you lean it towards yourself when
Speaker 8: your balance.
Speaker 1: It on your foot with a big thing, don't you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get that foot there acts like a trolley. You're
Speaker 1: that you become the trolley. But then you go, well,
Speaker 1: I've got two hands holding this big ass door. You
Speaker 1: should a carp on it. All of a sudden, how
Speaker 1: am I going to free one up to do the
Speaker 1: new move hinge right to left? You should definitely, I'm
Speaker 1: not left handed, so there to switch it? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do need. I've got Robert texting right now again. Hey,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in a couple of months. Meet
Speaker 1: you in fitzroy two, bring your toolset okay.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: A lot of men are giving me right now about
Speaker 1: how difficult is it to change over the hinge on
Speaker 1: a fridge door, Christian. Thing I learned doing bad by
Speaker 1: the way losing to Armenia. Norway have just been mulled
Speaker 1: over eleven to one in a World Cup qualifier. They
Speaker 1: got to manage to United player Harland who scored five goals.
Speaker 4: Ah well one time in a World Cup qualifier.
Speaker 5: Australia beat Samoa thirty one nil.
Speaker 1: That's rue.
Speaker 5: Artie Thompson scored eleven goals.
Speaker 1: Christian. When you change over the hinges on a fridge,
Speaker 1: you just close the door. Attack new do you mean
Speaker 1: attach you put here? Attacked? I would attack them. That
Speaker 1: would be the problem, Christian. They aren't like normal door hinges.
Speaker 1: They're basically pins that go through the top on the
Speaker 1: bottom corners, hence reversible. You don't need to buy a
Speaker 1: new hinge. They are universal.
Speaker 5: It's easier or harder.
Speaker 1: This is just no, no, no, just no. What air
Speaker 1: taskers invented for that economy going okay, it's it's money
Speaker 1: that somebody else can do that as well, we just say.
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn came in and said it would it would take
Speaker 1: me a day, a day, a day. She lets me
Speaker 1: up and down assessingly, went a man like you, it
Speaker 1: would take a day, a human day, well, a normal
Speaker 1: man maybe a couple of minutes. But a radio man
Speaker 1: who's built a radio and only that, then that's a
Speaker 1: day of your time, of your your DJ units. Patsy,
Speaker 1: what have you been googling? What's your open your open
Speaker 1: your tabs? Well?
Speaker 2: On Sunday at Father's Day lunch, we were at the
Speaker 2: Langham looking out over the Yarra River and I said
Speaker 2: to Chris, it's so beautiful there and it's.
Speaker 1: A lovely spot. It's really nice. The City of Flindus.
Speaker 2: Street station, the skyline, and I said, you know, dolphins
Speaker 2: come up this far in the in the era and
Speaker 2: they lost burst into laughter and said, no, there is
Speaker 2: no dolphins in the Arraw River. And I said, absolutely
Speaker 2: there is. There's always sighting. So I googled it in
Speaker 2: the restaurant and they have your kid.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, what that far into the Yarrow, the Doghar.
Speaker 2: Into the Arraw. So there was a siding in as
Speaker 2: close back as what five years ago twenty twenty, dolphins
Speaker 2: were seen in the Yarraw River.
Speaker 1: At that must have been some sort of exception.
Speaker 4: And was it like, you know, people see the yetties, like,
Speaker 4: do they actually see a dolphins?
Speaker 1: Are you sure this wasn't like a like a turd
Speaker 1: or something, you know, and they thought it was fin's
Speaker 1: It might have been a floater or something.
Speaker 10: And when they're radioactive blowing.
Speaker 2: And then in twenty eighteen near Richmond in the Chapel
Speaker 2: Street Reach, and then again the year before in the
Speaker 2: CBD d you right near the Botannic Gardens. So they
Speaker 2: are in and around bottle those dolphins.
Speaker 1: They must be lost, you know, sometimes it can get confused,
Speaker 1: you know, with sonar equipment, they can get lost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they and they missed sort of reeds, qes and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But any sense why they'd come this fire?
Speaker 5: I know, what do they in Richmond? Maybe this float?
Speaker 5: Maybe they look at the g Yeah.
Speaker 1: Final, why can't dolphins have day trips just pouring being
Speaker 1: out of that bay or day doan looking at the
Speaker 1: fairies and the boats they just fancy coming up and
Speaker 1: look around. Hey, let's go in the city, go and
Speaker 1: taking MJ the musical.
Speaker 2: How far they go though, Like on any given how
Speaker 2: far do they venture from the bay into other sort
Speaker 2: of inlets and stuff?
Speaker 1: They must fit tracking devices on them, they can't. I reckon.
Speaker 1: There's been no sightings for the last couple of years
Speaker 1: where you reckon. The last one was five years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at a photo though, Christian.
Speaker 9: This is the y dolphins.
Speaker 5: These are dolphins that are like leaping into the air.
Speaker 5: It's incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, imagine seeing that wouldn't be now, Ria, what
Speaker 1: have you been googling? What's in your open tabs?
Speaker 5: I've been googling what uses more energy?
Speaker 4: Dishwashers or hand washing, because I probably, like everyone, hate
Speaker 4: washing things up by hand, pain in the ass. I
Speaker 4: sort of see dishwashing as almost like an indulgence, Like
Speaker 4: you use it sparingly.
Speaker 5: It's going to use a lot of energy. You're going
Speaker 5: to use a lot of water. I'll try to handle it.
Speaker 1: You really are worried about this place you're bought now,
Speaker 1: where you're working out out, I'll tell you what. Get
Speaker 1: a dishwasher, just shove it in there. I hope it
Speaker 1: uses up a lot of energy. I'm groudly going to
Speaker 1: pay you to do it because I had years in
Speaker 1: my life when I didn't have a dish washer.
Speaker 4: Yes here, Well you'll be very very happy to know.
Speaker 4: And it's changed my life finding this out. Dishwashers not
Speaker 4: only use much less water than.
Speaker 1: Hand washing today, I bet they do, they.
Speaker 4: Also use much less energy because it takes if they're
Speaker 4: very efficient at heating water. So if you're going to
Speaker 4: make a tubful of hot water, that's going to use
Speaker 4: more energy and water than just chucking stuff in the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you leave You're right, I guess you're leaving
Speaker 1: that tap running for ages, aren't you?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 4: So now I'm just chucking anything in the dishwasher, like
Speaker 4: anything goes.
Speaker 1: Put the thongs in.
Speaker 4: Like yesterday I was looking at this dirty pass the
Speaker 4: dish I was like, can't be bother washing that? Bam
Speaker 4: straight in the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: Done.
Speaker 4: It's so good and you don't feel guilty anymore. It'll
Speaker 4: change your life.
Speaker 1: The quick wash. The quick wash wash told me that
Speaker 1: it's quicker and better for it that you don't close
Speaker 1: up the little tap. You know it's got that little
Speaker 1: and you just chuck it straight in there. Oh why
Speaker 1: is that it's about three minutes quicker, and it just
Speaker 1: it just cleans the plates more. They get that water
Speaker 1: gets straight access to that little tablet. I have to say,
Speaker 1: I do you find it pleasing touching that?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Squishy yes yes yeah, so like like a fidget spinner
Speaker 1: or something like that them.
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1: beautiful parts of Melbourne, Albert Park. Oh yeah, of course
Speaker 1: that's where they have that billionaire sport F one tickets

Speaker 1: to be the biggest US Training Grand Prix ever. Next

Speaker 1: dogs because they wanted they wanted to take the Why
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? They've been in the ground for
Speaker 1: six months. I ain't gonna be there only a bit
Speaker 1: of Fido's remains. Grizzly a jog. You don't ask your
Speaker 1: grandson to do that, or any son? I said, no problem.
Speaker 1: I started digging them up and everything was going great.
Speaker 1: Was it that when I picked up the box that
Speaker 1: my grandfather put them in the bottom fell out on
Speaker 1: the grounds and there was a big breeze and some
Speaker 1: of them flew up into my mouth?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 1: I stared up at the sky and said, are you
Speaker 1: testing my patients? I transported what was left of them
Speaker 1: to the new place and they seemed happy. Oh, Andrew, incredible.
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours on from another Grizzly Dog story, the
Speaker 1: remains the remains and taken them. We've been talking this
Speaker 1: week about what you take with you? What are the arts? Yes, Andrew,
Speaker 1: that's an incredible story. I never thought such a scene

Speaker 14: So I'm a fool teacher and I was that teaching
Speaker 14: in Melton at the time. This was probably going to
Speaker 14: back fifteen years ago. Now I was doing Melton and
Speaker 14: in Victoria and after school finished, on the very last
Speaker 14: day of school, we broke up for lunch. We finished
Speaker 14: at lunchtime. I caught a flight to Tasmania to lawn
Speaker 14: System that particular afternoon, and before catching up with people
Speaker 14: that I wanted to see, I thought, I'll just pop
Speaker 14: up to the lawn System gorge and there's this little
Speaker 14: look out there that's very remote. You would never know
Speaker 14: where I was unless you you know, so anyway, So
Speaker 14: I'm going down there, walking up to this lookout and
Speaker 14: this random spot, and then all of a sudden I
Speaker 14: see one of my colleagues who I had seen that
Speaker 14: morning at school and they were at this exact same far.
Speaker 1: Was that a great one? What are the odds? An
Speaker 1: obscure lookout spot and you're looking out for each other?
Speaker 14: Yeah, what are the arts?
Speaker 1: And you go up there and you look around this
Speaker 1: and you can't see any ikeas from Miles and Miles. Michael,
Speaker 1: that's a great one. Thank you very much for sharing.

Speaker 1: just said to Beausa Kaitlin, how about that story? All right?
Speaker 1: I was telling her about it because she was taking
Speaker 1: your calls. I said, oh my god, this guy's grandparents

Speaker 1: eight months previously because they're moving home and when it
Speaker 1: goes and I said, to that crazy, I've never heard

Speaker 1: let's rewind and press play on air right now, pu Kaitlin, Yes,
Speaker 1: it happened about un Yeah.

Speaker 15: him close, so he buried his ashes in the backyard
Speaker 15: in the box that it came in, and we had
Speaker 15: a beautiful little plarque for him, and then we sold
Speaker 15: the family home and so she didn't want to leave

Speaker 1: know what they're coming in.

Speaker 7: you had to take shoes off because she was a
Speaker 7: clean freak. And my husband, my boyfriend at the time,
Speaker 7: was wearing bludstone boots and he took them off. And
Speaker 7: then we came home and I looked down at his boots.
Speaker 7: I said, you've brought the wrong boots home. I said,
Speaker 7: they're not your boots. They're way too clean to be
Speaker 7: your boots. A couple of years later, I met my
Speaker 7: now husband of thirty years, and through conversations wet we
Speaker 7: realized we met at mutual parties and they were his
Speaker 7: boots that were brought home to my house or he
Speaker 7: was living with me.

Speaker 1: is this slipper? Yours? Are these blunstones? Yours? If the
