Speaker 5: if this is about the bike down, okay, the first
Speaker 5: break out of six not even in primetime rookie lightweight?
Speaker 7: Is he getting one of those balanced bikes?
Speaker 6: What we looked at online is a balance bike that
Speaker 6: turns into a pedal bike, so you don't have to
Speaker 6: buy a whole new bike. But he doesn't have to sun.
Speaker 5: There we go the old typewa Jack. When you say
Speaker 5: turn in, do you mean you just rip off those
Speaker 5: stable lad How does it turn into it? What is it?
Speaker 3: A transformer? In bumblebee the bike?
Speaker 6: It actually is a three and one, So balance bike
Speaker 6: is with no pedals where he just uses his feet
Speaker 6: like the flintstones. Then it goes to pedals with training wheels,
Speaker 6: then the training wheels come off.
Speaker 5: That does actually seem like a good idea, like a
Speaker 5: Swiss Army no bike. You feel you got a three
Speaker 5: year old?
Speaker 6: Can you believe it's mate?
Speaker 5: From our point? If he was gone so quickly.
Speaker 6: I can't believe it. Yeah, I was. As he went
Speaker 6: to bed last night, I was telling him like how
Speaker 6: proud I was of him and happy birthday, because I
Speaker 6: was trying to explain to him that I wouldn't see
Speaker 6: him in the morning. I just looked at him. I
Speaker 6: couldn't believe, you're not even a baby anymore.
Speaker 4: He looks like a real little boy.
Speaker 3: Boy, No he is.

Speaker 7: to Billie Eilish. They did a second release because I
Speaker 7: couldn't get the first line. So I was Mother of
Speaker 7: the Year last week, I thought tickets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was a bit.
Speaker 7: Of a reality check, isn't it. So we rocked up
Speaker 7: on Saturday night. I was wearing a nice floral dress,
Speaker 7: you know, because it was hot and it was just.
Speaker 2: Wall to wall.
Speaker 3: You're the oldest person there.
Speaker 4: No excuse me.
Speaker 3: You must have meant top three, you would have been.
Speaker 5: I went to Betty Irish gig in twenty nineteen and
Speaker 5: I looked undercover, cop, are you shkurty?
Speaker 6: Then?

Speaker 7: I did feel out of place because you know, everyone
Speaker 7: was in jersey shirts.
Speaker 5: And people just angry that I was there, the old
Speaker 5: man in.
Speaker 7: Sadness, I know, but it was funny just looking at
Speaker 7: the other parents, probably in their fifties as well.
Speaker 4: They all looked as amused as me.
Speaker 5: There was a day doing that thing where you like
Speaker 5: tamplon going this is what impressive. There was a danced
Speaker 5: I yeah, it's not really dance, dancing in your hand yourself.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: What was startling was it was just as the difference

Speaker 7: of sounding old.
Speaker 5: What were you doing in the doodle bug. Yeah in
Speaker 5: the away ex me the difference in what thirty years?
Speaker 3: No difference, No.
Speaker 4: You know what it is.

Speaker 7: It was just but she was amazing, so talented.
Speaker 4: She is just brilliant.
Speaker 5: She's incredible life, didn't you do get it? So she
Speaker 5: was here in twenty nineteen and my daughter Lois was
Speaker 5: like a massive Billy eys. So Lois went to see
Speaker 5: her at Rod Labor in twenty nineteen and she went
Speaker 5: again there Saturday night, okay, and I spoke to a
Speaker 5: Sunday because she doesn't live at home anymore, and she
Speaker 5: was like, I thought it was over with my Billie
Speaker 5: Eilish era a dad, and then she drew me.
Speaker 3: Back in Saturday night.
Speaker 5: She's back in my life. And I remember going to
Speaker 5: see I took her to you know, Nova Red Room,
Speaker 5: so I was looking up an old boss of mine
Speaker 5: used to run the Nova networks. So we went to
Speaker 5: I took Lowess a couple of days before the Rod
Speaker 5: Labor thing in twenty nineteen, so there's only about two
Speaker 5: hundred people like she was incredible and this I think
Speaker 5: she was just like seventeen eating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was incredible.
Speaker 4: He's a freak of nature. She was so just called
Speaker 4: a freak. No, a freak of nature, which is freak
Speaker 4: of nature. She's amazing.
Speaker 5: Nature is nature. Nature doesn't have freaks. She's amazing. Is
Speaker 5: it sounds like a b side of the Irish freak
Speaker 5: of nature.
Speaker 7: All the different styles, like her songs are all different
Speaker 7: plays the keyboard, plays, the string guitar, the electric guitar,
Speaker 7: and she just has this sensuality, sets your sort of
Speaker 7: thing about her, the.
Speaker 5: Way no one wants to hear them going. God, she's cential,
Speaker 5: the way she freaks central flights.
Speaker 7: Up to the fans, and that smirk that she gets,

Speaker 4: She was brilliant. She played it.
Speaker 10: Everyone.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh my god, that's greats isn't it.
Speaker 5: It's one thing. It's one thing to be a freak
Speaker 5: of nature, and then essential then you have made a smirk,
Speaker 5: and then the high class of any.
Speaker 3: True artist, a virtuos is when.
Speaker 6: I loved a period of artists coming to Austray where
Speaker 6: they were forced to do a shoey.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5: So the weekend a lot of us probably been glued
Speaker 5: to the TV seeing what was going on with the
Speaker 5: tropical cyclone Alfred. And then Sunday morning I woke up
Speaker 5: to see what was going on, how everyone up there
Speaker 5: was and then it was now being described as X
Speaker 5: tropical cyclone Alfred.
Speaker 7: What is the latest, Patsy, The latest is, Oh, put
Speaker 7: me on the spot. Look, it's mainly flooding damage now
Speaker 7: mostly and they've put a call to arms. I did
Speaker 7: have a story just.
Speaker 11: Then a call got that you're going to get guns
Speaker 11: to get this shoot a bit fair enough, the queens
Speaker 11: with guns shooting, they're rising.
Speaker 5: Good, make Queen's doing great again, Good Google, good Global Warming.
Speaker 7: Take that it has shifted to recovery, mow jobs.
Speaker 3: Oh put me on the spot.
Speaker 7: I just chuck in a cool to arms where they're
Speaker 7: asking for donations but also for blood. So if you
Speaker 7: are a blood donor, they're going to need like triple
Speaker 7: the amount this week. So if you are a blood donor,
Speaker 7: head along because a lot of the centers more than
Speaker 7: twenty centers have closed in northern New South Wales and Queensland.
Speaker 7: But fortunately when I got up Saturday, because we're all
Speaker 7: fearing the worst because it was not great, but Saturday, fortunately,
Speaker 7: you know, I sort of thought, going to bed Friday night,
Speaker 7: hopefully we'll wake up tomorrow morning and we'll think, oh, well,
Speaker 7: that was a little bit of fuss about not much.
Speaker 7: And you know, a lot has happened, like the coastline
Speaker 7: along the Gold.
Speaker 5: Coast about to make it thousand homes without electricity, yeah.
Speaker 7: And the power was out. I had a girlfriend, axt
Speaker 7: that works in radio and Brisbane. She's spent all weekend
Speaker 7: at the station, slept there covering it. They've done a
Speaker 7: great job. Everyone up there has done a great job
Speaker 7: covering it and keeping people safe. So it could have been.
Speaker 3: Far waters and media have loved this.
Speaker 5: I'm sure I saw Matt Shervo crying because rain drops
Speaker 5: are with the joy at finally having some proper kind
Speaker 5: of journalism to do. They're in their Catman do jackets, right,
Speaker 5: and they actually looked actually be channel servants should be
Speaker 5: selling those Catman do jackets. They look fitted, they looked snug.
Speaker 5: I thought they look nice jackets. They should be selling
Speaker 5: click now to buy server's jacket. But they were going
Speaker 5: we now cross live to listen more, and then listen more,
Speaker 5: throws back to surfers, to mermaids, to bomb beach. It
Speaker 5: was an incredible machine of it all. I was getting
Speaker 5: a coffee over the weekend and they obviously had, like everyone,
Speaker 5: it was on wallterall coverage and they had the volume off,
Speaker 5: but they had those closed captions. And it was some
Speaker 5: local Queensland right. I didn't say some local Queenslander, but
Speaker 5: from the cut of this guy you just knew he
Speaker 5: actually had a bins and T shirt and underneath it
Speaker 5: was saying, and I don't I spat my drink outs.
Speaker 5: I thought, surely this isn't an actual concern, But I
Speaker 5: don't know. This guy, local Queenslander was worried with obviously
Speaker 5: that the water coming in onto the streets smashing over,
Speaker 5: that it would throw onto the streets sharks and that
Speaker 5: the name would then, in his words, carry on some
Speaker 5: carry on in the streets.
Speaker 6: Now they run the city.
Speaker 3: We welcome our new shu uk overlords.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 5: Is this ludicrous or could that happen where sharks could
Speaker 5: be Katie Neill from that necka the words, could northern
Speaker 5: tweeds be now be governed by sharks?
Speaker 4: I mean definitely they're rivers.
Speaker 13: Like the rivers would have got a load of watering
Speaker 13: in the sharks could have been blown off course.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then suddenly like we're of course, guys, but
Speaker 5: people are everywhere.
Speaker 13: The genuinely could happen, and those get really high, Like
Speaker 13: there's a lot of houses right on the river, so
Speaker 13: they could be a shark in your backyard, do you know, I.
Speaker 5: Mean cool to arms shark in the backyard and your folks, okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 13: Luckily they're on a hill so they don't ever have
Speaker 13: to worry about flooding.
Speaker 5: The sharks get half I'm guessing, guys, I'm going back,
Speaker 5: going back to the RSL that looked like a couple
Speaker 5: of fat slow ones there.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5: So your daughters are already. She's a massive belly Eannish fans.
Speaker 5: She must have been over the moon that you may see.
Speaker 4: She was buzzy.
Speaker 7: Get those tickets buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, and just you know,
Speaker 7: she's been lucky enough to go to a lot of
Speaker 7: things but she said, this is by far, like the
Speaker 7: best thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: What did think over you? I know, because she loved
Speaker 5: Juwa Lipaillyish was better?
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, hands down. You know, she's such a
Speaker 7: great role model for young women. Here's this strong, independent
Speaker 7: woman not conforming to typical stereotypes. And I was so
Speaker 7: proud of the young women their Saturday, it was International
Speaker 7: Women's Day, and I just look Dad across the crowd
Speaker 7: and I thought, man, you know this, this is so
Speaker 7: amazing that these young women are seeing this awesome, this
Speaker 7: awesome role model on stage, and Audrey grain so much
Speaker 7: from it. Just confidence and self belief and be what
Speaker 7: you want to be and you can do anything. And
Speaker 7: you know all the girls everyone was buzzing as they walk.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 5: Well, so she's very She's a very fully formed, original artist,
Speaker 5: isn't she. You even seen the documentary about her and
Speaker 5: a brother and the mum and dad. Oh my god,
Speaker 5: I remember watching it. Halfway through I just felt like
Speaker 5: I had not done enough as a parent.
Speaker 14: Really.
Speaker 5: I'm like they were like and then they played and
Speaker 5: then we used to have been a band with dad,
Speaker 5: And I'm like, any of that and I haven't got
Speaker 5: a billy earlish and that's on me. You know that
Speaker 5: is on me. So perhapsly when you were there you
Speaker 5: recorded some some of this for us.
Speaker 4: I was deaf.
Speaker 7: My ears were ringing all of Sunday because and it
Speaker 7: was great. They're all standing up, everyone standing up and screaming,
Speaker 7: most of all Audrey in my right ear. And there
Speaker 7: were girls at the back of me, all dressed the same.
Speaker 7: It was fantastic. But I was getting showered with speech
Speaker 7: because we're singing.
Speaker 6: I feel like a scream along concert, isn't She.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, it's all like that. There's not a lot
Speaker 5: of screamers.
Speaker 4: There's a few. There's a few in there.
Speaker 5: So Patsy kindly records live concerts illegally. She's keeping the
Speaker 5: bootlegged industry alive on her phone, even though ten minutes
Speaker 5: ago she moaned at people ruining it by being on
Speaker 5: their phone.
Speaker 6: Generation is not paying attention on their phone.
Speaker 5: This person is on her phone, journalist, and this audio
Speaker 5: sounds crystal clear Harry's styles a couple of years ago,
Speaker 5: say what mate, can someone.
Speaker 3: Mover and holden.
Speaker 5: Hey like you and right there, up close and personal.
Speaker 5: And then there was Juey Lipa, so.
Speaker 4: It might have been. So was up in the nise
Speaker 4: plates with you are.
Speaker 5: And she's back at Billie Eish with her little tape recorder.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're actually leaving.
Speaker 5: She's doing the last song.
Speaker 4: We weren't exactly in the barrier.
Speaker 7: We were like on the first you you believe it
Speaker 7: or not, so imagine it right up the back.
Speaker 2: Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 3: So footy is back kind of with an asterisk, a.
Speaker 6: Very tepid start to the football season.
Speaker 3: Can anyone makes sense for this?
Speaker 5: The reason why I'm asking us especially today is we've
Speaker 5: had some of our oldest friends staying with us from
Speaker 5: they've never been to Australia before. They're over from the UK.
Speaker 5: And I said, now, oh, there's a there's a footage
Speaker 5: game on this afternoon and it was the Giants Pies game.
Speaker 5: I said, this should be a good game. We can
Speaker 5: watch the first half of it. So I said, just
Speaker 5: watch it and all sort of make sense of it
Speaker 5: as we go along. And of course I remember when
Speaker 5: I moved it seven years ago. When you come in cold,
Speaker 5: there are so many questions, valid questions that don't have
Speaker 5: very clear concise answers. Within a couple of minutes, there
Speaker 5: was like two minutes of silence, and I kept looking
Speaker 5: at him and they who he enjoys it, you know.
Speaker 5: And it was a really busy game, and he goes,
Speaker 5: what the bloody end is going on here?
Speaker 3: I mean it is.
Speaker 5: He goes, it's really physical, isn't it. And he went, oh,
Speaker 5: that guy is going to get some sent off. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: they don't have any of that. What do they have
Speaker 5: any I guess no, but they have a tribunal. What
Speaker 5: do you mean a tribune and they have to go
Speaker 5: to a tribunal, but most of the time just appeal it.
Speaker 5: They go, don't worry about it. Especially we played for
Speaker 5: the catch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no sin, no getting set off in the game.
Speaker 6: You essentially go to court.
Speaker 5: During the week. Yes, he was like, he just punched
Speaker 5: that guy. Not not a problem during this game. Ever,
Speaker 5: during the game, something will happen. They're gonna have to
Speaker 5: put a suit on during the week and normally they
Speaker 5: just appeal it and they just half the originally said,
Speaker 5: and the tribunals can go on for six hours.
Speaker 6: It's not until you explain Australian rules football to somebody
Speaker 6: that you were like, yeah, it needs a kind of
Speaker 6: a strange game. We've all, especially growing up with it.
Speaker 6: You go like, we just always known that that's how
Speaker 6: it was, but having to explain it to you doesn't
Speaker 6: yeh very and you.
Speaker 5: Know, like it with a lot of sports. I say,
Speaker 5: like cricket. You know that hasn't really adapted that much.
Speaker 5: You know, they've done some new versions like T twenty,
Speaker 5: but the actual rules the thing he couldn't. He went,
Speaker 5: so are they playing on a training pitch? I went, no, No,
Speaker 5: this is an actual study. I I go, White goes,
Speaker 5: what are those two other sort of training posts by
Speaker 5: the main post?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: And I went, oh, by the way for a game
Speaker 5: predominantly kicking, most of them are shit at it, right,
Speaker 5: he goes. So he's going like, do try and get
Speaker 5: it in there? You get most ways, but try.
Speaker 6: And get my massive wife.
Speaker 5: You don't have that in any other sports. You know,
Speaker 5: there's a golf hole and then there's another bigger hole.
Speaker 5: Any of these that one ideally, but there's still.
Speaker 6: It won't many points, but you can't go for that one.
Speaker 5: And then he is one of the umpires obviously throw
Speaker 5: the ball facing away and he went, what the hell
Speaker 5: is this? Now? What's he doing. He goes, how can
Speaker 5: you do that?
Speaker 3: It's impressible?
Speaker 5: Why is he throwing it like that? I went, actually,
Speaker 5: I can't tell you that. I got no idea.
Speaker 3: Why did they throw.
Speaker 5: It that that way?
Speaker 6: Another thing I've never think.
Speaker 3: It's just the way it is.
Speaker 6: Is it so that it's impartial?
Speaker 3: Yes, but rugby, yeah, I guess so. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 3: just so he does it.
Speaker 5: But that is so ludicrously far as well.
Speaker 6: And you just hope that your umpires unbiased. Anyway, Why.
Speaker 5: Hide and seek?
Speaker 3: There's just so many grayeres.
Speaker 5: And then afterwards I was watching this sort of the
Speaker 5: catch up with it all, and they were talking about
Speaker 5: now because obviously this round zero does obviously count, but
Speaker 5: they were meant to be two more ex games. Now
Speaker 5: the Essendon your team Essendon game just got postponed obviously
Speaker 5: because the advice because of the weather, they can't do it.
Speaker 5: But now they're saying and weightly fox withity' was apoletic
Speaker 5: about this, and kind of phrase I've never heard before.
Speaker 5: My foot is back, the man is support in the
Speaker 5: world is back. Ladder fail. He was almost in tears.
Speaker 5: The ladder is never going to make sense. But the
Speaker 5: rest of the season. We're like, it's back. How can
Speaker 5: you screw up your own ladder? And it's it's always
Speaker 5: going to be like, it's always gonna have an asterisk bite. Yes,
Speaker 5: always gonna have an asterisk bite because you guys have
Speaker 5: to play each other some point later.
Speaker 6: Well, now, in the last round of the season, which
Speaker 6: so Brisbane and Geelong was the other game that was
Speaker 6: postponed because of the bad weather in Queens so.
Speaker 5: That got moved to around three.
Speaker 6: They're like, oh, well that's an important game. You guys
Speaker 6: can play in three ways time gold Coast.
Speaker 5: Will anyone know that they didn't play?
Speaker 6: So now the idea is to play our final game
Speaker 6: of the season, which is against Carlton on the weekend,
Speaker 6: and then sometime midweek.
Speaker 3: Foot is back.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5: Perhaps you've got a problem with fires. You'll be trying
Speaker 5: to google how to get rhythm?
Speaker 7: Is it just me all the flies are particularly ski
Speaker 7: right now?
Speaker 5: No, apparently there is a real problem in Melbourne this
Speaker 5: year with them.
Speaker 7: They are everywhere and it's like they wait for me
Speaker 7: to sit on the couch. I'll be having a cup
Speaker 7: of tea and they're those there's flies and then there's flies.
Speaker 7: These flies are the cruelly ones that no matter how
Speaker 7: much you swish or spray.
Speaker 5: They've got smarter, haven't they. And some even they've got
Speaker 5: some sort of swap motion detection installed.
Speaker 7: Disgusting and you know, sleep like a while ago, you'd
Speaker 7: be able to get the tea towel, spin it around
Speaker 7: and give them a flick on the beach.
Speaker 4: But they're too smart.
Speaker 7: And too cunning. And I said to Chris, I've tried everything.
Speaker 7: I've done sprays, and I don't like spraying.
Speaker 3: My wife brought some electric sort of sweating.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I keep saying, where have you got that? I'm
Speaker 5: going to read it red flat. When he's got the
Speaker 5: passport and the citizenship, they'll be shipping us back to
Speaker 5: the UK.
Speaker 7: Is that the thing that looks like a racket stem
Speaker 7: play going?
Speaker 5: Where she got it from? I don't know it's a
Speaker 5: flies or for me it was a threat. The flies, well,
Speaker 5: they're just she's sorting something else away.
Speaker 4: It's under a pillow. So I googled. I did Google
Speaker 4: across the weekend.
Speaker 7: I thought there has to be some sort of sound
Speaker 7: that maybe we can't hear with the human ear, that
Speaker 7: is like a terror.
Speaker 5: Those little flyers.
Speaker 7: Like, so I did google it and there was and
Speaker 7: I put it through the sound system on the telly,
Speaker 7: like I thought, I'm going to.
Speaker 4: Pipe it right through the house. I couldn't hear it.
Speaker 7: Well, it didn't work because they're still around. But it's
Speaker 7: like it's a frequency at like twenty killer hertz that
Speaker 7: apparently flies can hear but we can't.
Speaker 5: And it like what about the dog respond or anything.
Speaker 4: Oh, he was asleep in the backyard. Did to the world.
Speaker 4: He didn't even like freaking ear up or an it.
Speaker 5: So apparently this is the hurts test. So as this ascends,
Speaker 5: you'll be able to hear the hurts ascending, and then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden you won't when it goes to
Speaker 5: the highest range that's a very low hurts. Then it
Speaker 5: starts to get higher that we can all still hear this,
Speaker 5: and it started get into a higher frequency. Sorry if
Speaker 5: this is sending your dogs or you just irritating.
Speaker 6: But you should get ridy of fliers. Okay, I can
Speaker 6: still hear you too.
Speaker 3: Still now really high pitched. I can still hear that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, still hear it now, very like squeaky and thin
Speaker 5: still now yep, yeah, yep, now not now, not none,
Speaker 5: that's still playing. So this is the one that Patsy's
Speaker 5: been playing. I can just hear an inter mistance sound.
Speaker 6: No, I can't hear anything, but the young people in
Speaker 6: our show can. So the youngers are interesting.
Speaker 3: So pass has he worked?
Speaker 4: No, it hasn't.
Speaker 2: For all that the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5: Over than on weekends, Produceria went out and about. So
Speaker 5: you went down to Rosebud and you a themed restaurant. Yeah.
Speaker 15: The only restaurant open was a restaurant called Spitfire, which
Speaker 15: we just thought just sounded like a normal restaurant, but
Speaker 15: as soon as you walk in, it is war to
Speaker 15: war like literally you cannot even see the wall.
Speaker 9: But for World War two, spit.
Speaker 5: Fire, the Battle of Ream was one of those planes.
Speaker 9: The Battle of Britain was the cocktail.
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 5: People always say to me, you got you British? Have
Speaker 5: you eaten at the Spitfire restaurant? Because you guys love
Speaker 5: warplanes and I haven't got around to it.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't go hand in hand with dinner to me.
Speaker 5: Because it's like a good burger joint, but it's burgers
Speaker 5: and fries.
Speaker 15: Yeah, burgers and friese like the biggest burgers you'll ever
Speaker 15: see in your life, like that, like literally the size
Speaker 15: of your head.
Speaker 5: Thank god, because otherwise that place wouldn't be there.
Speaker 15: And if you so, there's no actually like a no.
Speaker 15: You can't be like I want a cheeseburger. You have
Speaker 15: to be like I want the C forty two.
Speaker 3: You know, spit fire wow.
Speaker 5: So it's all themed.
Speaker 15: If you want chips, which is really jarring to say,
Speaker 15: you're flying fries, you have to order a prisoner of war,
Speaker 15: which is like, it's pretty harrowing.
Speaker 5: They're not shying away from.
Speaker 3: You want to think restaurants.
Speaker 16: You want to have it every single thing like my
Speaker 16: going to dig your way out of escape.
Speaker 9: And yeah, but it was so much fun. We had
Speaker 9: the best time.
Speaker 15: Haven't been to a themed restaurant since I was like
Speaker 15: seven years old, because now we're all too good for it,

Speaker 8: first class and steerage where it would only be with friends.
Speaker 8: In the steerage, of course, they would flood the floor.
Speaker 8: The theater was just amazing and you really felt like
Speaker 8: you were on the Titanic. It was just a fun
Speaker 8: flash night.
Speaker 5: People their lives, you know, what do you mean?
Speaker 6: They flood the floor.
Speaker 8: When you looked at what you thought was portholes, the

Speaker 5: about themed restaurants. Quite a few of you, including Sue.
Speaker 5: Our boss, just texted me about a Viking themed restaurant
Speaker 5: going very strong in town called Majolna. Right heard of it?
Speaker 6: Vikings?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, they bring you Do you know of it?
Speaker 3: Have you been there?
Speaker 9: There is one in Sydney and I think it is
Speaker 9: the same one. It's very high end.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, it's lux foods. Yeah, it's not cheap
Speaker 5: yeah yeah yeah, it was very very Viking prices.
Speaker 15: Ye, I've never been too expensive. But amazing that it
Speaker 15: has actually made it down to Melbourne as well.
Speaker 5: You drink out of one of those long flagons horns. Horns, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and they unfold a knife set and ask people to
Speaker 5: pick your weapon.
Speaker 6: I'm interested.
Speaker 5: I'm interested. That's what it takes fast to jump on board.
Speaker 5: We judged that guy about his love at the Mama
Speaker 5: mea restaurant. Suddenly you're offering me a Norse drinking horn,
Speaker 5: and I'm all yours.
Speaker 6: What was that Viking movie that you loved and you
Speaker 6: wouldn't stop talking about the Norseman.
Speaker 5: That my wife took a kindle out and started. Guys,
Speaker 5: I need your honest opinions on something.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: Two weeks ago, we had a call from a woman
Speaker 5: called Sue, and we've been taking your story about did
Speaker 5: you piff something or did it get piffed at you?
Speaker 5: And she when she was a kid, her friend had
Speaker 5: dared her to see how far she could throw a
Speaker 5: snag a sausage, and she cleared two houses from her
Speaker 5: She cleared two houses. And then when we're thinking about
Speaker 5: how we might try and recreate this and encouraged this
Speaker 5: is to come into the radio station and chuck a
Speaker 5: snack to see how far they could throw jack, you
Speaker 5: led a uprising way.
Speaker 6: I had a problem. You're worried about the low sea
Speaker 6: indoors in drawing a sausage Jenner Hallway, and you were right,
Speaker 6: didn't feel like a real recreation.
Speaker 5: And then last week I started to think, actually, maybe
Speaker 5: there's a way we can bring back sostos. And this
Speaker 5: is because what she did, Sue Didd, she threw it over.
Speaker 5: She tried to clear as many gardens as she could. Okay,
Speaker 5: what if we got listeners to go and get at
Speaker 5: least five or six neighbors together where you agreed to
Speaker 5: try and recreate, and we could take listeners down to
Speaker 5: your house, but you need to have five or six
Speaker 5: consecutive doors in a row where they would all take
Speaker 5: part in sostass recreation. Where we've encouraged this to see
Speaker 5: how far they could clear. How many houses do they
Speaker 5: think they could do it?
Speaker 6: And is that just because you need their permission to
Speaker 6: throw a sausage over the yarch?
Speaker 5: Yeah? You know me at my heart, I'm an English gentleman.
Speaker 5: That's the kind of code of ethics I have for radio.
Speaker 5: I think is actually rude. If you're having a quite
Speaker 5: coffee in the morning and suddenly some of whom flings
Speaker 5: a snack through the air, it doesn't look good for
Speaker 5: the radio, you know.
Speaker 6: So we want people to go knock on the door
Speaker 6: of their neighbors and.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah listen later on this week maybe Thursday or Friday.
Speaker 5: Radio show wants to recreate the thing. A woman called
Speaker 5: so she did two houses. It's not too bad. Do
Speaker 5: you think you could do three? Well you can come
Speaker 5: and take part, but we need to have I reckon
Speaker 5: five or six houses signed up.
Speaker 6: And then you need the back fence neighbor as well,
Speaker 6: and a few houses down that side of.
Speaker 5: Case it goes straight wayward. Yeah, I sudden there's a
Speaker 5: wind or some of that X tropic goone cycle in
Speaker 5: out for it is suddenly making its way. Yeah, the
Speaker 5: sausages in the air. So I was thinking this is
Speaker 5: how maybe we could I like that.
Speaker 6: A lot better. It's actually I'm warming up to that.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing, right, it felt like a focus group.
Speaker 5: Over the weekend. We've got some our oldest friends arerow
Speaker 5: from the UK. They've never been to Australia before, and yes,
Speaker 5: even we're having dinner around at ours and they go, hey,
Speaker 5: were doing on the radio show tomorrow and.
Speaker 3: I go, ah, you know a lot of it.
Speaker 5: We sort of go in. We got post it notes
Speaker 5: and and team of swap stories and then we go
Speaker 5: from there. I went, oh, actually, one thing I do know.
Speaker 5: We're doing this thing called sos toss. And I literally
Speaker 5: just told them everything. I just told you guys, and
Speaker 5: the table in my throat right now it's closing up.
Speaker 5: The table went quiet real quick, and I mean stony,
Speaker 5: not even like that sounds fun. My wife glad me,
Speaker 5: like you couldn't pick anything better? Make something up?
Speaker 6: Could it have been a stun silence? Like, oh my god,
Speaker 6: he's done it again in the UK and now in Australia.
Speaker 5: So bad was the silence? I went anyone wanted any
Speaker 5: more water? And I went inside and was just like,
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know Jack, whether sauce toss
Speaker 5: is it was off, it was on. I don't know
Speaker 5: whether it's off again. Our snacks in the air or
Speaker 5: are they just.
Speaker 6: It's cool.
Speaker 1: It's we've warned up and called it so many times.
Speaker 1: It's like, is this it's actually dangerous? It's actually dangerous.
Speaker 1: Now you shouldn't reheat some meat? Oh hell the snacks
Speaker 1: think all right?
Speaker 5: So team honest reaction right now, temper to check around
Speaker 5: the team, Patsy.
Speaker 4: I could go for it, absolutely, resurrect it, get it done.
Speaker 6: What about the market research?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Who cares about the market research?
Speaker 3: Thank you, Patty Jackie boy.
Speaker 6: Honestly, I can honestly, honestly close my eyes and picture
Speaker 6: somebody throwing a sausaget.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can all see it. How do you feel
Speaker 5: about it? Are you proud that that's your radio show?
Speaker 5: That's what it all boils down to.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess it needs If you just tuned in

Speaker 6: percon God soon she called up.

Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: Exactly seven days ago. I went to flick at a
Speaker 3: light slit switch.
Speaker 5: And you might know about these kind of light switches
Speaker 5: where it's like I think it's called a rocker, where
Speaker 5: you it doesn't go click and stay down. It's sort
Speaker 5: of you you flick it and then it bounces back
Speaker 5: and you flick it again and it bounces back. It's
Speaker 5: got like a recall built into it. Anyway, when to
Speaker 5: turn a light off, and it wouldn't turn off. It's
Speaker 5: been on for seven days. In my study, there's a
Speaker 5: light in the house that's been on now for set
Speaker 5: seven days. I've banged it repeatedly. I took the face
Speaker 5: off it. I've tried taking the fuse out to see
Speaker 5: if that.
Speaker 6: Was tuck around with that stuff. You shouldn't be. You
Speaker 6: shouldn't be.
Speaker 5: I am a radio DJ. Electrics are my thing and
Speaker 5: frequency No.
Speaker 6: Seven to half person, come and hang a picture at
Speaker 6: your house last.
Speaker 5: Night, it's going to build a bed jack. This guy
Speaker 5: did it in twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight minutes, so I would have that would have.
Speaker 5: Been four hours for me. So I'm going to have
Speaker 5: to get an electrician to come out. I've go youtubed
Speaker 5: it and it's basically as people going, don't play around
Speaker 5: with electrics. But seven days now, the moment I wake
Speaker 5: up in the morning, it's like there's a lighthouse. What
Speaker 5: it's like this shame like, oh yeah, I must get
Speaker 5: round to them. You know, normally you're to do list.
Speaker 5: You can hide it out the way. It's a glaring
Speaker 5: twenty four hour beacon, a signal light of a to
Speaker 5: do list. And my wife is going, have you spoken
Speaker 5: to electrician? And oh, I left him a message of
Speaker 5: the day, But long weekend and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: It's confusing for the neighbors as well, Christians. Really midnight,
Speaker 6: it's going.
Speaker 5: It A shark has got one eye always open for content.
Speaker 5: So this morning I'm looking for your stories. Right, you
Speaker 5: couldn't turn it off? And also how long has it
Speaker 5: been like that? It's been seven days? The song, isn't it?
Speaker 5: It's been seven days and I I've got another busy
Speaker 5: day today. I think it's going to be it might
Speaker 5: even push into April or even Easter time. I keep
Speaker 5: hoping it's just going to run out of like power
Speaker 5: or filament. But these these bulbs, these belly d bulbs,
Speaker 5: now like last me, it's going to be like the
Speaker 5: kids will be saying goodbye to me on my last bed.
Speaker 5: And please try and sort that light out.
Speaker 6: We have We have one at home that we never
Speaker 6: turn off, and that is we got the Apple TV.
Speaker 6: So turn that on and off with the remote. But
Speaker 6: then the TV once the Apple TV is off, has
Speaker 6: that holding screen no importance? Is no no, and put
Speaker 6: just bounces around it because we can't find the original Samsiz.
Speaker 3: Does Gordy take it somewhere?
Speaker 6: He hit it years ago? But we've we've had that
Speaker 6: thing bouncing around for honestly two years now. It's almost
Speaker 6: the TV is almost.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 5: How long has it been?
Speaker 2: Like that Christian O'Connell show, Gone podcast.
Speaker 5: That posts son Gordon turns three today? Have you checked
Speaker 5: any of you spoken to this morning? Is he up? Yeah?
Speaker 18: He is up.
Speaker 6: He's riding to daycare with his little pushbike and he's
Speaker 6: got balloons, his balloons tied to the front of it.
Speaker 5: And how do you feel about the last three years?
Speaker 5: Gone quest?
Speaker 6: So quick? I mean, honestly, it does get better every
Speaker 6: year in my experiences, Like the more he grows up,
Speaker 6: the the more that they can communicate with you, and
Speaker 6: like they get their own personality. It's just been so
Speaker 6: much fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the next couple of years you get even
Speaker 5: more of that because you can go out with them
Speaker 5: and there's less gear that you need to take as well,
Speaker 5: because then in the first this is all about you
Speaker 5: actually would say to friends that invite you to come
Speaker 5: around with your new kids, You're like, you wouldn't want
Speaker 5: us round. Honestly, the gear we have to bring just
Speaker 5: to go down the road to see you isn't worth
Speaker 5: the organization that bottles the sterilizing stuff, the nappies. You
Speaker 5: turn out with like eight backpacks. It's like an army
Speaker 5: on maneuver and so. But now, over the next couple
Speaker 5: of years you can do more and more with them,
Speaker 5: and you rightly start to have these conversations with them
Speaker 5: and that.
Speaker 3: So what was his birthday party yesterday?
Speaker 6: Ye you should have seen it. I've got to say,
Speaker 6: I know we do flexing on Fridays now, but I
Speaker 6: got a flex on a Tuesday. The audio setup that
Speaker 6: I put together for his karaoke birthday was professional great, Wow,
Speaker 6: proud dad. I was so happy with that, spent all
Speaker 6: Sunday doing how did you rig it up?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 6: I had microphones borrowed from my time at Fox FM
Speaker 6: years ago.
Speaker 5: That I Jack sent me video yesterday. I'm sad enough
Speaker 5: to pause on the zooming and they were like, these
Speaker 5: are pro microphones. There's no way tight one paid for
Speaker 5: this yet, sure s fifty eighth. I zoomed in and
Speaker 5: I would did the whole pick stinketh thing with your
Speaker 5: finger and was like, these are sure s fifty eight
Speaker 5: that these are?
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan does his podcast with these.
Speaker 6: They're actually what we use when hamshin Andy when we
Speaker 6: went overseas for the gap years. It's what the radio
Speaker 6: station gave us to do the tour.
Speaker 3: So you said it just never got them back.
Speaker 5: Western New York.
Speaker 3: Were they or some pommies stole them in London when
Speaker 3: gap Yew was there.
Speaker 6: I'm just holding onto them until they asked for them back,
Speaker 6: which they haven't done yet. So Mike stands that I
Speaker 6: were running the cables to the speakers from the final
Speaker 6: player and it sounded awesome.
Speaker 5: Socke.
Speaker 3: So it's a karaoke party. It was three year olds.
Speaker 6: It was a karaoke party for three year old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was too much.
Speaker 6: It was too much.
Speaker 5: Just went to me during the song. And one thing
Speaker 5: I would say, it's probably better for five and above. Really,
Speaker 5: I don't think it's even great for adults karaoke Some
Speaker 5: time I feel like a five year old doing it.
Speaker 6: Most sorry for my neighbors because I had the speakers
Speaker 6: up the.
Speaker 5: Labor Day weekend, beautiful hot Sunny Day and.
Speaker 6: Then a whole lot of kids not with great technique,
Speaker 6: should I say, trying to shame on those songs. I've
Speaker 6: got a bit of audio of Gordy singing. So Gordy,
Speaker 6: he did a great job, by the way he holds
Speaker 6: a tune. He loves the Beatles. He's got this book
Speaker 6: about John Lennon. So he's dressed as John Lennon. Made
Speaker 6: this amazing Sergeant Pepper's jacket for him, gluing on all
Speaker 6: the little gold bits that they were on the album cover.
Speaker 5: It's a lot more effort in that. And yet you
Speaker 5: just want to do Friday flex about plugging in a
Speaker 5: cable and which is you know teenagers can do that
Speaker 5: on their Twitch streams. Blood specter is Rick Ruben here.
Speaker 6: I had to actually routed through the computer to give him.
Speaker 3: Proper one too.
Speaker 6: They had proper reverb.
Speaker 5: A couple of night making that stuff. It looks like
Speaker 5: a pro one. It's amazing with the little so the
Speaker 5: gold buttons.
Speaker 6: He looks so good. And then I was John Lennon.
Speaker 6: There's this iconic photo of John Lennon wearing a New.
Speaker 5: York so well lit and why you got that sew
Speaker 5: machine out wife, what Jackie Boy up one as well?
Speaker 6: No, I made my own one white T shirt to
Speaker 6: make the New York City T shirt that he's wearing
Speaker 6: in one photo.
Speaker 5: And then what that T shirt was?
Speaker 6: You know, no one knew who I was.
Speaker 5: I was just like, because Lenin's one was like properly done,
Speaker 5: I thought it was just someone just drawn it on
Speaker 5: with felt tip.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I drew it in sharp in the morning
Speaker 6: because by him on like, what's that T shirt?
Speaker 3: Shot red?
Speaker 5: But but I didn't.
Speaker 6: It wasn't until the weekend, and then long weekend is not.
Speaker 3: Going to get cable ready to be plugged in.
Speaker 6: I had to drive from Jake and just store shout.
Speaker 5: Out to the x l R cables.
Speaker 6: So this is some of Gordy singing one of his
Speaker 6: favorite songs, Yellow Summary, and.
Speaker 3: Please just listen to that sound quantity.
Speaker 5: Oh this is great.
Speaker 3: Now listen how long did that go on for?
Speaker 5: That was to.
Speaker 3: Take around some some bears and something to the neighbors
Speaker 3: both sides.
Speaker 9: You're going to give every kid a go.
Speaker 5: And then most of the and not all of them
Speaker 5: are blessed like Gordy.
Speaker 6: Well, they're they're all a bit shy to start with.
Speaker 6: So a lot of them got up there and then
Speaker 6: didn't sing first time around, so then we had to
Speaker 6: give them a second go when they finally got their
Speaker 6: guts to sing.
Speaker 5: And who was the MC of it? I was? I
Speaker 5: wondered they didn't fancy Tony Robbins up there with them.
Speaker 5: I spent on, it's a creepy guy.
Speaker 6: When when you're telling that story before about pitching sustos
Speaker 6: to your English friends and having just complete silent crickets
Speaker 6: and what happened.
Speaker 9: And I got up.
Speaker 6: Because I'm in my John Lennon T shirt and I got.
Speaker 5: Some well it's not a John T shirt, it's just
Speaker 5: a Baddy scrawn tea shirt.
Speaker 3: It says with a sharpie.
Speaker 6: And then I got some shorts and crocs on and
Speaker 6: I say, I go, hey, everybody, welcome to Gordy's Party's like,
