Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: And you sent us an email which I think is

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: going to lead to a great thing today, which is

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: when you were a kid. Do you remember when you

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: were a kid you saw certain signs that you thought

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: someone was rich or loaded. For Andy Christian, my wife

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: grew up thinking having a two door fridge was a

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: life goal. We've just got one and she's been ringing

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: all her family and friends telling them she's made it

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: now with a double door fridge. For me, growing up

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: as having Ben and Jerry's ice cream, my folks would

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: never pay that much for such a tiny amount of

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: ice cream. I saw it at a French place. I

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: knew they must be minted. For me, it was MTV.

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: There was only one friend out of my group who

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: had MTV, so we could watch the Simpsons and the

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Music Channel stuff like that. But I thought that was incredible.

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: It was in the UK it was satellite TV. Used

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: to have a satellite dish on the side of your house.

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: You could literally get cable TV.

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: It was Foxtel for us, and there was one kid

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: in the street who Fox.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: This was a really, really rare thing and you would

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: all even if you didn't politically like that person JIML.

25
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: Kallis you were as a kid, I didn't mentally like

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: this guy Lee, but I used to hang out with

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: them purely shit. I could go out of his and

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: watch the Simpshus music videos Rat and that was it.

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: There was the only Hitmory. So we were friends because

30
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: he had MTV. But see what was it for you?

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: What were the signs when you thought someone.

32
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: Was rich when they stayed at a motel on a

Speaker 2: Sorry.

136
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 8: Listen, when when we were younger, we actually thought we

137
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 8: were rich. Once a year, my dad used to work

138
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 8: at General Motors Holden, and he used to do a

139
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 8: lot of testing on the new cars, and once a

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 8: year he got to bring bread, bring home a brand

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 8: spanking new car, and uh and that was the only

142
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 8: time in the year we ever went out to a restaurant.

143
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 8: And this Chinese restaurant was so flash that every time

144
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 8: he pulled a cigarette out of his pockets, the way

145
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 8: they raced over with a cigarette lighter, the light, it

146
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 8: bore it.

147
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: Do you know what you're like going to a restaurant?

148
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: I really did, like it was a birthday.

149
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: It was.

150
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: It was. It was a birthday. When I tell my

151
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: kids now, I think I'm making up stories poverty stuff

152
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: like that. Oh I know it was a really big

153
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: deal to come up for dinner with your parents.

154
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: And then to order dessert as well. Oh my god,

155
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 5: we'll go past the service station on the way home

156
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,240
