Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 2: This week, then on three Toby Tuesday when we do
Speaker 2: three phone in's at the same time. We're looking for
Speaker 2: your stories about transporting unusual things. Teenage phases one of
Speaker 2: those all phases you went through and have you ever attacked.
Speaker 3: An inanimal object? But teenage phases? What do you go through? Pats?
Speaker 4: I wanted dreadlocks when I was sixteen. One of the
Speaker 4: girls in our town had the most amazing dreadlocks. My
Speaker 4: mum was horrified. I nearly got them, but I pulled
Speaker 4: out at the last minute because I learned when you
Speaker 4: want to get rid of them or grow them out,
Speaker 4: you have to actually cut your hair really short. Yeah apparently,
Speaker 4: and I thought, oh no, I can't have short hair.
Speaker 5: I wish you went through that. If I could see
Speaker 5: the photos of you with dread.
Speaker 3: Loss, what about it's never too late?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it would look great for you to have dreadlocks.
Speaker 5: Now, No, I don't think so, especially now that you're
Speaker 5: popping up on Teman.
Speaker 2: It would just be like a branding thing really, as
Speaker 2: you know, news with the dreadlocks. No dreadlock lady, No, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, So hauseles transporting things.
Speaker 3: You ever tried to.
Speaker 2: Take anything in a car or hide a van or
Speaker 2: anything and had hassles transporting anything unusual?
Speaker 3: Jack, what did you try and move?
Speaker 5: So when you're talking about transporting difficult things, I had
Speaker 5: forgotten all about this. Did you guys have the fake
Speaker 5: baby at high school? That was you meant to take
Speaker 5: home and it was meant to teach you the responsibilities
Speaker 5: of having a.
Speaker 2: Real bat was called a flower baby. It literally was
Speaker 2: like a pair of your mom's tights with like a
Speaker 2: couple of kilos of flower poured in it, and you
Speaker 2: had like a head and googly eyes on it, and
Speaker 2: you meant you to carry it round. She realized what
Speaker 2: a big deal it was to carry around and look
Speaker 2: after a baby.
Speaker 5: So by the time I got to school, it had
Speaker 5: advanced into a robotic baby that looked like a baby Beyord,
Speaker 5: but it actually had a computer in it that would
Speaker 5: time how long the baby cried for and it would
Speaker 5: give all this feedback to the teacher of how well
Speaker 5: you did it looking.
Speaker 3: After the baby.
Speaker 5: I was the first person in the grade to get
Speaker 5: the brand new robot baby that came to the school,
Speaker 5: and I was so embarrassed about it that I remember
Speaker 5: trying to put the baby because it would cry anytime
Speaker 5: you're not holding it. Put the baby into my backpack
Speaker 5: and zip it up to come from school.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 3: How old were you? I was fifteen.
Speaker 2: Zipping a baby that you're supposed to be looking after
Speaker 2: in a backpack.
Speaker 3: And what did the robot baby report you?
Speaker 5: Well, the robot baby shows it's cried, but I guess
Speaker 5: it has no indicators to say, Hey, I was in
Speaker 5: a backpack for an hour coming to school. Never give
Speaker 5: this kid a try.

Speaker 6: Say yep the way.
Speaker 3: All right, Jason, thank you very much, Take care of mate.
Speaker 3: Fine Cindy, Hi Christian.
Speaker 7: When I was five, my mum actually transported a cockatail
Speaker 7: on her Datson on the rest of her Jackson in
Speaker 7: the cage on the roof.
Speaker 3: Of the car. Yep, cockatail in the cage. Yep, amazing.
Speaker 3: How was the cage secured to the roof of the Datson.
Speaker 7: It was just tied down from the bottom of the cage.
Speaker 2: I was saying, your mum, this is that thing where
Speaker 2: you see guys sometimes with an entire mattress with just
Speaker 2: the one right hand poking out the window. Whether your
Speaker 2: mom just had a hand on the cage, it's almost
Speaker 2: like a police siren. Before they had actual Simon says
Speaker 2: just had canaries and cages. They were an emergency vehicle
Speaker 2: pull over. Darren what's your story for us?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 7: Oh, look, I had a bit of a problem with
Speaker 7: I soulded my lawn mower. I was having a bit
Speaker 7: of a problem starting it.
Speaker 3: You had that ripcord, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hard work.
Speaker 7: Not if you don't get it started and pick it
Speaker 7: up and throw it over the neighbor's back fence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's one way to try and start it.
Speaker 2: I guess that that was in the instructions or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, obviously the instructions didn't entail having to knock
Speaker 7: on the neighbor's door and ask from the lawnmower.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, growing up we had some some's going to
Speaker 2: ask for your fallback, but not your actual law mower,
Speaker 2: the strength.
Speaker 3: Jack.
Speaker 7: It was a lot of anger, and actually, as I
Speaker 7: was picking it up, I'm thinking, bloody hell, this is
Speaker 7: really heavy. Shouldn't have started this, but I was so angry.
Speaker 7: I picked it straight up over the banks, straight over
Speaker 7: the fence.
Speaker 2: Quite it's quite a feat A few enjoyance that it
Speaker 2: should have the world's strongest man. I don't have the
Speaker 2: truck ball, but they should have the lawn mower toss
Speaker 2: that sort of sort of the men out from the boys.
Speaker 3: All right, Darren, thank you very much. You cool, have
Speaker 3: a good day.
Speaker 1: Thanks Christian, John.
Speaker 6: Here you go, and Christian, am I actually transported a
Speaker 6: dead person in the combe?
Speaker 5: Should we be worried?
Speaker 2: Now? With old kidder John on the line? Now, the
Speaker 2: body's not in the back is it with the hazard
Speaker 2: lights on?
Speaker 6: He was actually an old hippie and he's sting which
Speaker 6: was transported in an old copy with pastickers all over it.
Speaker 3: Oh how awesome.
Speaker 2: So instead of the old black traditional hears he was
Speaker 2: in the back in the coffin like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't know you could do that. I thought it
Speaker 3: was a legal one.
Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, this is going back about fifteen twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: So do you have to have a special poet I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: I know you have to have permits for everything in Australia, right,
Speaker 2: but surely transporting a dead person imagine.
Speaker 3: You have to go onto the council and apply for that.
