00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,280

Speaker 2: show today, Three ways to have your stories on air.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: So just have to listen to more. Was they go

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: floating by in the river of the show? A knock

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: at the door? What happened next? I don't know whatever

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: it was. Sometimes it's a random thing. You don't get

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: random phone calls. A random knock at the door. What's

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: the story about? What happened next?

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: We had a guy knock at our door once and

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: ask if we had lost in a kidnap because there

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: was an a kidna walking down the street.

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how you say, you're just walking down

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: the street looking lost. No, it's not the street. What

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: part my kidnaper?

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: I don't think he was a pet though. I think

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: he was just a wilder kidnap and god knows how

19
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: he got into the summer.

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, A knock at the door? What happened next? Other? Two?

21
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Phone is today? Then I broke my brothers, whether it's

22
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: an older brother always the worst thing, or a younger brothers.

23
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: But you broke your brother's what And I'm very excited

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: about the stories you might have for this one. Poorly

25
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: secured items. I think sometimes you kind of know when

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: you haven't secured something one hundred percent, and then maybe

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: later on somewhere it just flies off, or it just

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: takes off in the rear view mirror.

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: But you convince yourself like that, you know what, I'll

30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 4: drive flower.

31
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's enough, It's just about enough, all right, poorly

32
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: secured items. I broke my brothers and your story is

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: about a knock at the door, Christian, A knock at

34
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: the door in the middle of the nights. I was

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: heavily pregnant the time my husband got out to find

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: it was the police kind of knocking at the door

37
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: to ask if they could run through our flat to

38
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: chase a villain who jumped over.

39
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: I thought the police were just meant to kick down doors.

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: And it's in plies later.

41
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: This was the eighties. I think it was a very

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: different time, the very polite police. All right, let's take

43
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: some stories now, Carol, welcome to a show. Which one

44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: then you got a knock at the door, broke my

45
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: brothers or poorly secured items, knock at.

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: The door, So it was probably, I said, she's stained.

47
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 5: It's probably about twenty years ago. I was living with

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 5: my parents and we got to knock your door about

49
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 5: eleven pm and we were all in bed, so lights

50
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: were off, there was no activity. Went downstairs, opened the

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 5: door and there was a life sized cutout of Legalis

52
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: and Aragon from Lord of the Rings at our front door.

53
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: We don't know who dropped it off to this day,

54
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 5: and it was just really strange.

55
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: That is spooky, that is odd.

56
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: My sister was a fan, but she yeah, she still

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: doesn't think it was any of her friends, so I'm

58
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: not sure.

59
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 4: So did you bring him inside the house or do

60
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: you leave him outside?

61
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 6: We brought it in.

62
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 5: I think my sister kept it for a few years,

63
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: and I don't know. She's moved house a few times,

64
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: so I don't know whether she still has them intact

65
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 5: or still has them, but yeah, she hung on to

66
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 5: them for a while.

67
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: So all right, so Lord of the Rings, knock at

68
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: the door. Laud of the Rings were there. That's great, Carol,

69
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: thank you very much for story mate. We go ahead. Robert, Yes,

70
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Robert item Us, welcome to the show.

71
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 7: Good look.

72
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I I'm a tradesman, so I had a van and

73
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: I'm did the van, and I thought I'd do the

74
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: right thing and going No, my mother's lawn. So I

75
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: put the lawn in the van and I secured it,

76
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and I thought my nuts were pretty good.

77
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: But when I took off.

78
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: At an intersection, the not undone and the lawnmower went

79
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: backwards and puffed the back window out of the car.

80
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: But the the moa stay in. I didn't fly out

81
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: into the freeway or something, and.

82
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 7: I was quite lucky. I went to the nearby dealership.

83
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 7: They were very good. They put in a new window,

84
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 7: which was very nice of them. So I put the

85
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 7: moa back in and I thought, oh, yeah, that's right.

86
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 7: I'll be fine. I went off and guess what happened again?

87
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: You're kidding? Not again?

88
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't.

89
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: There's another phone in there. I didn't learn my lesson.

90
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: How many times have we all said that? I did

91
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: not learn my lesson? So life teaches it to you again.

92
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I made sure it was secure the third time.

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: I think times of chance. Yeah, Robert, brilliant story. Thank

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: you very much for sharing.

95
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,279
Speaker 1: May thank you the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

96
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Your story is about a random knock at the door,

97
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: and then what happened next? What was the other side

98
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: of the door. Now, when I say I broke my brothers,

99
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: a lot of you are taken. I guess it's because

100
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: we're in Australia. That means a broken bone. We don't

101
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: have to break his nose. It's funny. That wasn't the

102
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: stories I were looking for. But you've gone. He means

103
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: physical bones. No he doesn't. I meant more like Millennium

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: Falcus roller skates. I don't mean noses. I'm getting a

105
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: lot of broken noses with us.

106
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: I saw one that was broke his hair.

107
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I've had one an email, but a broken head

108
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: and we don't need broken head stories on the show

109
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: Millennium focus roller books, things not people or bits of people.

110
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: Australia come on and poorly secured items. Christian, my boyfriend

111
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: tried to take three mattresses home from the shop. See

112
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: the moment, even one, even one? You're really testing the universe.

113
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Three it's too too many. Half an hour trip down

114
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: the highway with these things all bungee corded. We could

115
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: do a show a record about bungee grun stories onto

116
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: his trader on the very last corner. We're pulling into

117
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: a street, high fiving each other when they explode. Ah,

118
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: all out like a jack in the box, all on

119
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,000

Speaker 8: We could hear someone who'd broken through the window was

125
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 8: walking through the kitchen because you could hear the glass crunching.

126
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 8: So I rang the police. I was heavily pregnant at

127
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 8: the time, and they knock on the door, you know,

128
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 8: and so I was the one who had to get

129
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 8: up and answer the door. So I go to the

130
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 8: door and the police come through, brandishing their guns and everything.

131

Speaker 2: Stephanigues emailed me Christian. In the nineties, as a teenager,

160
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: worked for McDonald's on the main road on the Lake Shift.

161
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: We used to close the doors at eleven PM four

162
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: in dining and continue to just drive through up until

163
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: one pm. I was cleaning the indoor dining area at

164
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: about Corbus eleven at night when someone was really banging

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: at the front glass door, but he was dressed in

166
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: the Hungry Jack's uniform and begging to come in. He

167
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: was telling me that the Hungry Jack store across from

168
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: us was being robbed and that he had escaped. I

169
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: asked my manager should I unlock the door and let

170
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: him in. He wasn't sure for a couple of seconds

171
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: because they're the enemy, but he acquiesced and we let

172
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: him in and called the police. We also saw the

173
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,560
