Speaker 1: First, Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: So we're going to open up the lines right now
Speaker 2: with three ways you can get in touch with the
Speaker 2: show today, Three ways to have your stories on air.
Speaker 2: So just have to listen to more. Was they go
Speaker 2: floating by in the river of the show? A knock
Speaker 2: at the door? What happened next? I don't know whatever
Speaker 2: it was. Sometimes it's a random thing. You don't get
Speaker 2: random phone calls. A random knock at the door. What's
Speaker 2: the story about? What happened next?
Speaker 3: We had a guy knock at our door once and
Speaker 3: ask if we had lost in a kidnap because there
Speaker 3: was an a kidna walking down the street.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you say, you're just walking down
Speaker 2: the street looking lost. No, it's not the street. What
Speaker 2: part my kidnaper?
Speaker 3: I don't think he was a pet though. I think
Speaker 3: he was just a wilder kidnap and god knows how
Speaker 3: he got into the summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, A knock at the door? What happened next? Other? Two?
Speaker 2: Phone is today? Then I broke my brothers, whether it's
Speaker 2: an older brother always the worst thing, or a younger brothers.
Speaker 2: But you broke your brother's what And I'm very excited
Speaker 2: about the stories you might have for this one. Poorly
Speaker 2: secured items. I think sometimes you kind of know when
Speaker 2: you haven't secured something one hundred percent, and then maybe
Speaker 2: later on somewhere it just flies off, or it just
Speaker 2: takes off in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 4: But you convince yourself like that, you know what, I'll
Speaker 4: drive flower.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's enough, It's just about enough, all right, poorly
Speaker 2: secured items. I broke my brothers and your story is
Speaker 2: about a knock at the door, Christian, A knock at
Speaker 2: the door in the middle of the nights. I was
Speaker 2: heavily pregnant the time my husband got out to find
Speaker 2: it was the police kind of knocking at the door
Speaker 2: to ask if they could run through our flat to
Speaker 2: chase a villain who jumped over.
Speaker 3: I thought the police were just meant to kick down doors.
Speaker 3: And it's in plies later.
Speaker 2: This was the eighties. I think it was a very
Speaker 2: different time, the very polite police. All right, let's take
Speaker 2: some stories now, Carol, welcome to a show. Which one
Speaker 2: then you got a knock at the door, broke my
Speaker 2: brothers or poorly secured items, knock at.
Speaker 5: The door, So it was probably, I said, she's stained.
Speaker 5: It's probably about twenty years ago. I was living with
Speaker 5: my parents and we got to knock your door about
Speaker 5: eleven pm and we were all in bed, so lights
Speaker 5: were off, there was no activity. Went downstairs, opened the
Speaker 5: door and there was a life sized cutout of Legalis
Speaker 5: and Aragon from Lord of the Rings at our front door.
Speaker 5: We don't know who dropped it off to this day,
Speaker 5: and it was just really strange.
Speaker 2: That is spooky, that is odd.
Speaker 5: My sister was a fan, but she yeah, she still
Speaker 5: doesn't think it was any of her friends, so I'm
Speaker 5: not sure.
Speaker 4: So did you bring him inside the house or do
Speaker 4: you leave him outside?
Speaker 6: We brought it in.
Speaker 5: I think my sister kept it for a few years,
Speaker 5: and I don't know. She's moved house a few times,
Speaker 5: so I don't know whether she still has them intact
Speaker 5: or still has them, but yeah, she hung on to
Speaker 5: them for a while.
Speaker 2: So all right, so Lord of the Rings, knock at
Speaker 2: the door. Laud of the Rings were there. That's great, Carol,
Speaker 2: thank you very much for story mate. We go ahead. Robert, Yes,
Speaker 2: Robert item Us, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: Good look.
Speaker 1: I I'm a tradesman, so I had a van and
Speaker 1: I'm did the van, and I thought I'd do the
Speaker 1: right thing and going No, my mother's lawn. So I
Speaker 1: put the lawn in the van and I secured it,
Speaker 1: and I thought my nuts were pretty good.
Speaker 7: But when I took off.
Speaker 1: At an intersection, the not undone and the lawnmower went
Speaker 1: backwards and puffed the back window out of the car.
Speaker 2: But the the moa stay in. I didn't fly out
Speaker 2: into the freeway or something, and.
Speaker 7: I was quite lucky. I went to the nearby dealership.
Speaker 7: They were very good. They put in a new window,
Speaker 7: which was very nice of them. So I put the
Speaker 7: moa back in and I thought, oh, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7: I'll be fine. I went off and guess what happened again?
Speaker 2: You're kidding? Not again?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2: There's another phone in there. I didn't learn my lesson.
Speaker 2: How many times have we all said that? I did
Speaker 2: not learn my lesson? So life teaches it to you again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I made sure it was secure the third time.
Speaker 2: I think times of chance. Yeah, Robert, brilliant story. Thank
Speaker 2: you very much for sharing.
Speaker 1: May thank you the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Your story is about a random knock at the door,
Speaker 2: and then what happened next? What was the other side
Speaker 2: of the door. Now, when I say I broke my brothers,
Speaker 2: a lot of you are taken. I guess it's because
Speaker 2: we're in Australia. That means a broken bone. We don't
Speaker 2: have to break his nose. It's funny. That wasn't the
Speaker 2: stories I were looking for. But you've gone. He means
Speaker 2: physical bones. No he doesn't. I meant more like Millennium
Speaker 2: Falcus roller skates. I don't mean noses. I'm getting a
Speaker 2: lot of broken noses with us.
Speaker 4: I saw one that was broke his hair.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've had one an email, but a broken head
Speaker 2: and we don't need broken head stories on the show
Speaker 2: Millennium focus roller books, things not people or bits of people.
Speaker 2: Australia come on and poorly secured items. Christian, my boyfriend
Speaker 2: tried to take three mattresses home from the shop. See
Speaker 2: the moment, even one, even one? You're really testing the universe.
Speaker 2: Three it's too too many. Half an hour trip down
Speaker 2: the highway with these things all bungee corded. We could
Speaker 2: do a show a record about bungee grun stories onto
Speaker 2: his trader on the very last corner. We're pulling into
Speaker 2: a street, high fiving each other when they explode. Ah,
Speaker 2: all out like a jack in the box, all on
Speaker 2: to road, not one, not two, three mattresses. Kerry, thank

Speaker 8: We could hear someone who'd broken through the window was
Speaker 8: walking through the kitchen because you could hear the glass crunching.
Speaker 8: So I rang the police. I was heavily pregnant at
Speaker 8: the time, and they knock on the door, you know,
Speaker 8: and so I was the one who had to get
Speaker 8: up and answer the door. So I go to the
Speaker 8: door and the police come through, brandishing their guns and everything.
Speaker 8: They go into the kitchen and then they knock on
Speaker 8: our door and they go, we've.

Speaker 2: the Hungry Jack's uniform and begging to come in. He
Speaker 2: was telling me that the Hungry Jack store across from
Speaker 2: us was being robbed and that he had escaped. I
Speaker 2: asked my manager should I unlock the door and let
Speaker 2: him in. He wasn't sure for a couple of seconds
Speaker 2: because they're the enemy, but he acquiesced and we let
Speaker 2: him in and called the police. We also saw the
Speaker 2: burglar running out of Hungry Jacks across the road. He
