Speaker 5: the name played above my parking spot blown away overnight.
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised they are.
Speaker 5: It's laminated and then.

Speaker 3: Oh wind and veil plumbing. Correct, it's amazing. I don't
Speaker 3: remember anything from yesterday show. That's sad that only I
Speaker 3: remember business.

Speaker 2: Dave Dave, No, not his dad, no, his mate Dave
Speaker 2: sold it to mess that's several years ago.
Speaker 3: Several years ago.
Speaker 2: Ye, Dave had had it for decades.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So as he passed on a really good ongoing concern,
Speaker 3: has he what has he died?
Speaker 6: You said?
Speaker 2: Has he worked? Passed?
Speaker 3: Just on a good business?
Speaker 2: Doesn't going well? Yes, it's a brilliant business because you
Speaker 2: can ring and you know that if he can.
Speaker 4: Be there, he will.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be very how the businesses would take a
Speaker 3: leaf out of that shoe dog listens list Phil Night
Speaker 3: pick up the bloody phone mate.
Speaker 5: You just press the numbers and then you're speaking to him.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 3: We do that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call this a great business.
Speaker 2: No, but it's like same day service. They're very very good,
Speaker 2: and they're very very busy. Anyway, so they were coming
Speaker 2: over yesterday afternoon. I got home from work. The love
Speaker 2: God was working from home yesterday, met me at the
Speaker 2: front door. Such was his excitement, and he said, guess what,
Speaker 2: I've fixed the pilot light myself, And I said.
Speaker 3: Boy, Love. The fact he was at the front door,
Speaker 3: that is exactly the sort of thing I would do,
Speaker 3: where this kind of news cannot wait for you to
Speaker 3: get in the house, shut the door. I do that something.
Speaker 3: My wife is just driving pulling out like you won't
Speaker 3: believe what I've done. I'm only going to have been
Speaker 3: a bloody ad. Help you go and get me a
Speaker 3: present and come back and then then break it apart
Speaker 3: over several hours.
Speaker 2: Yesterday he wanted to be get anointed all undernoon and
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's fantastic. So but we still got Matt
Speaker 2: and the boys out to check the gas levels. Well,
Speaker 2: they had to get their invoice in, didn't they.
Speaker 3: But no, with gas really turned on them quickly with
Speaker 3: canute to go in this break. You love them. They
Speaker 3: do a great business now because they're charging you for it.
Speaker 3: They have to make a living.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't be too dicey with gas. You've got
Speaker 2: to be sure. So they had to test it anyway.
Speaker 2: It all looked good, so that's good. But I just
Speaker 2: did not stop hearing about it from Chris. So around
Speaker 2: dinner time, I said, well, gee, I've done three loads
Speaker 2: of washing today. I've organized ballet for Audrey on Saturday
Speaker 2: because she needs a ride there.
Speaker 3: This is literally every conversation. Of course, Yeah, I've done
Speaker 3: maybe one percent of the total universe of what needs
Speaker 3: to be done, but it will be talked about for
Speaker 3: eighty percent. How guts that heating we're enjoying at the moment,
Speaker 3: that's thanks to me. Cool welcome families.
Speaker 2: I fixed the gas, but just would not let I
Speaker 2: let him go for a couple of hours, and then
Speaker 2: I said, look, no, that's it, that's it. That's all
Speaker 2: the glory you get. You fixed it, well done.
Speaker 3: Do you know why we make such a big doubt
Speaker 3: this because more often not day to day, it's constantly
Speaker 3: just a stream of errors or half completed tasks or
Speaker 3: things forgot about. So when the rare sweet spot happens,
Speaker 3: the balls and that is once a year for us
Speaker 3: little men, it's a very very big deal. It's like
Speaker 3: gold medal. You know, you're on the rostrum and you're
Speaker 3: waving to the nation around the glow. Give us the
Speaker 3: victory that please, It'll be a.
Speaker 4: Long time before he's doing it again.
Speaker 1: The Christian No Connall Show podcast.
Speaker 3: So Yesterin on the show, Chad was talking about a
Speaker 3: blocked toilet, and because you've got a little baby that's
Speaker 3: sixteen seventeen months old, I just presume that that must
Speaker 3: be the culprit behind the block toilet.
Speaker 5: We still don't know what's blocked in there, but the
Speaker 5: water is still up to the brim. We have another
Speaker 5: toilet by the way, so we are still using at
Speaker 5: And did.
Speaker 3: Wonder what we were here saving it or keeping it
Speaker 3: all bun up, but until he got to work and
Speaker 3: then his kick and open a door and go oh
Speaker 3: for another twenty four hours.
Speaker 5: But the one in the laundry is actually with clean
Speaker 5: water up to the brim, and you know, drop more
Speaker 5: water will send it over the edge. So we need to.
Speaker 3: Be tempted to put your hand in and just reach
Speaker 3: under that U bend and dislaunch.
Speaker 5: Something I have not been tempted to get up.
Speaker 3: I've done that before, and I would never compact to
Speaker 3: Fecal Matter. Great name for heavy metal band, by the way,
Speaker 3: Compactson fecal Matter.
Speaker 5: Guess what I've been offered, especially specialty bit of equipment
Speaker 5: that only plusers use, that you can't buy anywhere.
Speaker 3: So it's the pros.
Speaker 5: It's a plunger that you can't get a Buddings. You
Speaker 5: can't get any of the hardware stores. Only plumbers are
Speaker 5: allowed to use it.
Speaker 4: So where do they get it from?
Speaker 3: They got underground kind of plumbers market, the deep Dart Web.
Speaker 5: It's Caitlin's dad. Caaylyn works with us on the show.
Speaker 5: Her dad is a plumber.
Speaker 7: Yes, so my dad, he's been a plumber for forty
Speaker 7: something years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had him on the show.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: He was actually really helpful.
Speaker 7: And after everything had happened, he gave me a call
Speaker 7: after the show. He's like, look, I've just been thinking
Speaker 7: about this and I've got this specialty plunger that's better
Speaker 7: than anything you can get for an ordinary person.
Speaker 3: Because when I got a bunnies is dirtchy, but it
Speaker 3: did the job, but it took quite a while.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Whereas this one's got a really good suction cap
Speaker 7: on it, which is what you need if there is
Speaker 7: something launched in there. It just makes it far easier.
Speaker 2: So he said, what.
Speaker 7: I can do is I can send it down because
Speaker 7: my mum's arriving today, so he's just going to get
Speaker 7: her to pop it in her luggage and bring it.
Speaker 3: Down for you plunges on a plane. P Is that
Speaker 3: something you'd have in your hand luggage or are you
Speaker 3: putting that and checking it in?
Speaker 5: I guess that's checked in oversized baggage, is it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 7: No, because it's only the head of the plunger.
Speaker 3: So it's a suction bit, the most important correct, Yes,
Speaker 3: where's the rest of it? How you put your fist
Speaker 3: in it and just get.
Speaker 2: On with it?
Speaker 5: Why would I need just the plunge your head?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: So Dad has he explained to me that it's a
Speaker 7: great plunger because you can add any sort of broom
Speaker 7: head that has screwing part to it.
Speaker 3: This guy is Harry Ponted with his wizards.
Speaker 5: You can get it from you.
Speaker 3: Know, when someone doesn't give you a gift. It's a problem,
Speaker 3: and you sort this out.
Speaker 7: The broom won't be able at like the extension of
Speaker 7: the broom which gives you the more heath hoo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of freak.
Speaker 4: Have you got a broomhanded that you can just detach?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I've never tried to caretake.
Speaker 5: We have our broom, but I don't I've never known
Speaker 5: if the handle comes off, and what if it doesn't
Speaker 5: fit in.
Speaker 3: You know, there's this might be a thirty five meal
Speaker 3: and this needs a forty two.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 7: Dad promised me that any ordinary I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Say anybody Dad, but he's some Queensland. They're very vague
Speaker 3: people they are. When they go right, there's like ating
Speaker 3: version of that. Then the Queensland will one. It is
Speaker 3: a lot lot looser chat doing your stay.
Speaker 2: He was very yeah, it would be that.
Speaker 3: Whatever. So you there's no way, no way to.
Speaker 5: Use staff for taping some sort of stick to the
Speaker 5: end of a place's head.
Speaker 7: I mean that work, You'll be fine, trust me. It's
Speaker 7: what you need is the suction. So as long as
Speaker 7: the stick is really connected to it with gaffer tape
Speaker 7: or something like that, you'd be right.
Speaker 5: I'm not as excited as I was.
Speaker 3: So your mum is flying down? Does she know about
Speaker 3: this kind offe? Have you packed these bands yourself? Madam?
Speaker 3: It's a really strange object and it's a special prose
Speaker 3: only plumbing plunger. Okay, madam, let's sit like this from
Speaker 3: sexy Land so a French chicler. I think it's cooled.
Speaker 7: My parents are actually divorced, but they're best friends, right,
Speaker 7: and so mum has.
Speaker 3: Still you shouldn't be taking this stuff for a best friend.
Speaker 7: I said this to him, so I said, how are
Speaker 7: you going to get it here? He goes, Oh, well,
Speaker 7: your mum's going down tomorrow and I'm going.
Speaker 3: To drop off of the ear love. That's some old pooey,
Speaker 3: old plunger I've taken on the sweet corn.
Speaker 7: Off it, it goes, I'll just give it to her
Speaker 7: and she can bring it down.
Speaker 3: With it in your suitcase underwear.
Speaker 4: Madam.
Speaker 3: So what you have to do now when you get
Speaker 3: this maybe tomorrow over the weekend, you're now going to
Speaker 3: have to go to bunnies where they loose part with
Speaker 3: it like Cinderella and the pushoo putting it on?
Speaker 5: Is this and is it come in its own bag
Speaker 5: or anything? Or is it just a loose plunge of heads?
Speaker 5: Not as excited as I was.
Speaker 1: Christian Connell's show podcast Yes See.
Speaker 3: On the show, what a scorching story from Jackpost? A
Speaker 3: story not about Jack Post, but isn't a way about Jackpost.
Speaker 3: He's at the sideline watching something going on between his
Speaker 3: wife and a secret Admira in a cafe.
Speaker 5: Well, there's nothing going on. I wouldn't use the word
Speaker 5: going on. But she was left a note by somebody else.
Speaker 3: Something happened or not, a note was handled. Does your
Speaker 3: wife still have this secret note?
Speaker 5: She does. It was placed in Can.
Speaker 3: We agree something has occurred?
Speaker 5: It was put in some sort of what can only
Speaker 5: be described as a memories box.
Speaker 3: It's a memory and nothing has gone on.
Speaker 5: She just wants to keep I think for the feeling
Speaker 5: he gave her, rather than actually her walking out on
Speaker 5: the marriage and having an affair.
Speaker 3: With this something in a special box that you want
Speaker 3: to sometimes come back to and read and re experience again.
Speaker 4: This should only be you in that box and baby g.
Speaker 5: The story was the other day she was at the
Speaker 5: cafe on her own, accidentally locked eyes with a stranger.
Speaker 5: She smiled to say, just because she is that kind
Speaker 5: of person, a lovely person.
Speaker 4: She is a very very friendly person.
Speaker 5: So smiling.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: At the by the time he left the cafe, he
Speaker 5: came over and brought a note and it said to
Speaker 5: the effect like, I don't know if you're smiling at
Speaker 5: me on purpose, but I would love to ask you.
Speaker 5: I think you're gorgeous. That sort of thing.
Speaker 4: And that's that's been honest. That's gonna make anyone's day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, God, was she skipped into the house. You wouldn't
Speaker 5: have wouldn't believe the bounce in her step. Then I
Speaker 5: could hear her later telling my sister about it.
Speaker 3: And again, nothing's happened, just to remind herself, nothing has happened.
Speaker 5: So the letter now, and you you agitated this because
Speaker 5: you asked me last night, like I am just out
Speaker 5: of interest, as if just as if you were going
Speaker 5: through your paperwork for the end of the show, like
Speaker 5: I've never found out.
Speaker 3: It's writing up my notes like a doctor the case
Speaker 3: notes from that day's show.
Speaker 5: Did Bianki keep the secret Admira's letter? And she she goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: I think I've it's over there somewhere, and then pointed
Speaker 5: to the box, which I know she keeps a whole
Speaker 5: lot of collections of memories that she wants to keep
Speaker 5: for later.
Speaker 4: Okay, Patsy, where are you on this?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel.
Speaker 3: Did you keep the letter?
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I think you would. I think you would.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you keep it?
Speaker 2: Because it's no, it feels almost like it's impeaching on
Speaker 2: my relationship.
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't peachment.
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't feel impeached.
Speaker 3: Maybe some people like to feel impeached. Maybe that's a
Speaker 3: whole genre of people that like they're peachy people we've had.
Speaker 3: We had a couple of emails about this yesterday. Hi, Christian,
Speaker 3: I was listening to the show yesterday I remembered the no
Speaker 3: I received from anonymous Admira about fifteen years ago, now
Speaker 3: yesterday when you talk about it chat. The admirer had
Speaker 3: dated this note to your wife. Yes, okay, and this guy,
Speaker 3: by the way, didn't know your wife was married, because no,
Speaker 3: she doesn't wear a ring, but he had dated it.
Speaker 3: And I thought, this is this is creep behavior because
Speaker 3: he's laying down like tracks here that in his mind
Speaker 3: in this fantasist. Mind he's later on recounting the story.
Speaker 3: And we still have the note. And remember when I
Speaker 3: dated it as well, because this might be significant, Christian
Speaker 3: soulds listen to you. And I received a note from
Speaker 3: anonymous amyra at fifteen years ago. I not ites fifteen
Speaker 3: years ago because it's also dated top right. I'm a
Speaker 3: I don't know always put this we're put in bold
Speaker 3: on his email. It's put I am a male.
Speaker 5: Lovely to know what we were speculating there was heard. Yes,
Speaker 5: we didn't think as many males would get secret and ma.
Speaker 3: And and that's why he's kind that bit in bold.
Speaker 3: I thought he's thought he signals to me? Does he
Speaker 3: is he sending me a note?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 4: In fact, this isn't note.
Speaker 3: He's dated it as well with this email address. What's
Speaker 3: going on here? I'm a male? The Amira was a
Speaker 3: female like the GP clinic who slipped me this on
Speaker 3: her way out dated six of the eleventh eight. This
Speaker 3: guy's obviously kept these. It's on memory spot, oh eight
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, quite a few years back, sir
Speaker 3: high babe. Soon as I saw you walk through the door,
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop looking at you you have such an
Speaker 3: amazing and mesmerizing beauty. I wanted to mention that if
Speaker 3: you haven't considered in regards to becoming a model, the
Speaker 3: model is block capitals. You should really consider it, babe.
Speaker 3: You can make a lot of women happy, and you
Speaker 3: could also make some money.
Speaker 2: That's really creepy.
Speaker 3: That's too fair, because that's about the physical form. That's
Speaker 3: going into too much detail of making women happy. And
Speaker 3: then there's this one here. Back in twenty seventeen, I
Speaker 3: was a mechanic. We had one customer that was constantly
Speaker 3: bringing her piece of crap in. Every time we're laying
Speaker 3: down the story here, aren't we your origin story? Every
Speaker 3: time we fix something, something else would give out, from
Speaker 3: oil leagues to electrical to well bearings the visit. It
Speaker 3: became increasingly frequent leading up to the end of that year.
Speaker 3: One day I got a phone call, came to the
Speaker 3: mechanic workshop and was asked for me by name. I
Speaker 3: go over the phone and there's woman's on the phone.
Speaker 3: She gys my name is and I'm a good friend
Speaker 3: of and it was his customer. Immediately asked what's wrong
Speaker 3: with her car? Now? She said nothing, but she doesn't
Speaker 3: stop talking about you. I'm calling up to Hopelly get
Speaker 3: get your number so you two can hook up and
Speaker 3: have some fun. Imagine it's a lord broad day night.
Speaker 3: Does this stuff go on? I thought this was only
Speaker 3: in like sitcoms or movies. I informed her that I
Speaker 3: was actually married. This was two days before my wedding anniversary.
Speaker 3: But I was told by the friend that if I
Speaker 3: changed my mind, her friend could keeper a secret. How
Speaker 3: many people have brought into that and turns out spoiler, look,
Speaker 3: they couldn't keep a secret. It really has that ever
Speaker 3: worked out? I think it's human nature. I shut that
Speaker 3: down to We never saw that customer ever? Again, didn't
Speaker 3: she took this piece of crack to another I've found
Speaker 3: another guy who wasn't so strong. For a little bit
Speaker 3: of context, I never wore my wedding ring will it
Speaker 3: were because my first boss as mechanic told me that
Speaker 3: his old boss once fused his wedding ring right to
Speaker 3: the bone of his finger by shortening across the electrical
Speaker 3: system of a car, so instantly what melted and then
Speaker 3: just became part of his hand. Wow, James, what't end
Speaker 3: your email? Vers? All right? As always, we love getting
Speaker 3: your emails Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Last year with my daughter Ruby, my eldest daughter.
Speaker 3: She was in year twelve and I was aware that
Speaker 3: time was changing and shifting. So I want to do
Speaker 3: something where we could still hang out together, but it
Speaker 3: be regular. So she started this pottery course and every day,
Speaker 3: once a week i'd pick her up in the evening
Speaker 3: and she was just so relaxed and so happy. I said,
Speaker 3: God has really given you so much. I'd love to
Speaker 3: do some of that, which is something completely different. Right,
Speaker 3: She said, well, this term's coming to an end. Why
Speaker 3: didn't you join me next time? You know when someone's
Speaker 3: give invitation. Oh, I don't do that because I don't
Speaker 3: know how to do it. I look foolish, but I thought, actually,
Speaker 3: time is going very quickly, I'll enroll. So last year
Speaker 3: I did three terms of pottery. I was terrible at it,
Speaker 3: but I loved it. This year, I was thinking the
Speaker 3: countries to go. I really miss doing something completely out
Speaker 3: of my comfort zone, which has got nothing to do
Speaker 3: with work or what I do for a living. Anyway,
Speaker 3: fast forward yesterday I enrolled on a ten week Beginner's
Speaker 3: Guide to would work that I start in January, and
Speaker 3: I am so excited you've done this because you can
Speaker 3: make something with your hands right. The pottery thing was
Speaker 3: a new experience for me because a lot of what
Speaker 3: I do up ideas and writing and stuff like that
Speaker 3: comes from the head, so I'm kind of disconnected to
Speaker 3: what it's like to do something physically. Pottery I found
Speaker 3: really hard at times because I would get back in
Speaker 3: my head. I wasn't connected to actually doing something physically.
Speaker 3: It was it was a kind of new and way
Speaker 3: of being like a conversation I didn't quite.
Speaker 5: Have all the works for, and something that takes your
Speaker 5: complete focus, especially when you're learning something new like pottery
Speaker 5: woodworking fast.
Speaker 3: She really like, I guess what mindfulness is where you
Speaker 3: just have this singular concentration.
Speaker 5: I thought I might have that with golf because I'm
Speaker 5: learning how to play golf at the moment. But it's
Speaker 5: kind of the opposite.
Speaker 3: That ain't mindfulness. You have to go and do mindfulness
Speaker 3: after you've had a golf list and I tried that
Speaker 3: when I first moved here. I'm retired, relapsed former golf student.
Speaker 3: I've enrolled on it starts in January. It's ten weeks
Speaker 3: and I cannot wait. You come with an idea of
Speaker 3: what you'd like to make, and what you'd like By
Speaker 3: the end of the ten weeks what you've made is
Speaker 3: four hours every Thursday. So it's like it's like forty
Speaker 3: hours yep, this weekend. You know, I've got to go
Speaker 3: and buy still capped boots. Oh I don't need there
Speaker 3: working a job, some post it notes or a sharpie
Speaker 3: on my phone or a CD.
Speaker 4: Still I can't.
Speaker 3: I feel like a proper grown up now in the world, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I need these because I'll be working with wood and.
Speaker 5: Then you've got to scuff them up as well before
Speaker 5: you start.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So because to start the course does not start
Speaker 3: until January the twenty for twenty fifth rights, so that's
Speaker 3: quite wide away. That is one by them this weekend Jack,
Speaker 3: So I like, oh, these old things, these three years
Speaker 3: on various bits of wood projects I've been working on,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 5: And in forty hours you can actually make something quite
Speaker 5: decent to you won't.
Speaker 3: So I've emailed this, you know, it's his contact.
Speaker 4: I've just enrolled.
Speaker 3: It does say beginners, but you need to understand I've
Speaker 3: never really made anything with my hands, and I'm fifty.
Speaker 4: I know those beginners.
Speaker 3: But again there must be a subcrass degree where you've
Speaker 3: seen people like me come in, go bloody hell get
Speaker 3: away from the lathe. My woodwork teacher said it was
Speaker 3: a menace. I hope that you're not going to be
Speaker 3: yelling like that at me.
Speaker 5: You don't need Stelcap boots like steal cap everything.
Speaker 3: You know that in the hurt Locker, he's in that outfit.
Speaker 3: I'll be like that going here a lathe or whatever.
Speaker 4: What they're using that in the woodshed. So I can't wait.
Speaker 5: So do you just work on one project or do
Speaker 5: you do do you make many different pieces of furniture project?
Speaker 3: Because it's they take you to a local timber yard
Speaker 3: and they teach you how to even source bits of
Speaker 3: sandwaige woods is I cannot tell you right yesterday I
Speaker 3: was so excited sometimes as a joint just booking something
Speaker 3: like whether it's a holiday in six months time, knowing
Speaker 3: you've got it, almost felt like it was already giving
Speaker 3: me a gift. Just now I'm gonna do something completely different.
Speaker 3: Plus there be other people on the course, rights you're
Speaker 3: doing it with people I've never met before at different ages,
Speaker 3: and I'm really looking forward to just being in there
Speaker 3: every single week. Anyway, the guy who's going to be
Speaker 3: teaching me is called Barry Wood, right, and I was
Speaker 3: looking up on the website and thinking, bloody hell, this
Speaker 3: is nominative to terminism. He's a wood teacher right then,
Speaker 3: I'm reading up. He learned the art of woodworking from
Speaker 3: his dad, David Wood. He's from on a long line
Speaker 3: of woodsman, all with the surname Would. Now, there's a
Speaker 3: thing in the world called nominative determinism where they believe
Speaker 3: that your name, like having the surname, would you try
Speaker 3: and find work that resembles your surname, You might have
Speaker 3: worked or know somebody or be someone who is like this.
Speaker 3: So you got the surname, Would you find out as
Speaker 3: a kid your surname is Would and Loberhole twenty years
Speaker 3: later your professional woodwork teacher. The name lends you depict
Speaker 3: that kind of work. So if this is you or
Speaker 3: you've known someone like this at work, we want to
Speaker 3: hear about it today. Can we by nine o'clock this
Speaker 3: morning go through the entire alphabet whose people's whose names

Speaker 16: a lot of animals here at the park of having chins.
Speaker 16: And funnily enough, the mammal keepers at the park actually
Speaker 16: say that kwhylas do have chins, mainly because the color
Speaker 16: of the koala's chin is actually a great indicator of

Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: Three weeks time then Curry were going up as we
Speaker 3: host a play a musical for those people like me
Speaker 3: who never got a speaking part in your school play.
Speaker 4: It's a do over.
Speaker 3: We're doing our very own version of Greece, and we're
Speaker 3: calling it Grouse the Musical. This is your idea to
Speaker 3: actually called it Grouse the Musical, not what you heard.
Speaker 9: It's a very full legal reasons. We're two in the
Speaker 9: show casting ever Righows who never got a row with
Speaker 9: much speaking.
Speaker 3: So it's three weeks time. We're going to start giving
Speaker 3: away parts tomorrow. But today, I think the most important
Speaker 3: thing is you think about a great movie, right, you
Speaker 3: think about one of the great action director Steven Spielberg
Speaker 3: inductually all of his movies. When I was growing up
Speaker 3: in the eighties, he always had the big scene. Even
Speaker 3: in Indiana Jones Now he changed movies because normally they
Speaker 3: spend all the production budget on the big wow scene.
Speaker 3: It happens towards the end of the movie. He changed everything.
Speaker 3: When that big rolling Stone, it opens with that we
Speaker 3: need something where when the curtain comes up, because everyone's going, oh,
Speaker 3: look it's amateurs.
Speaker 4: They haven't had a lot of time to rehearse.
Speaker 3: When the curtain goes up, suddenly you hear an audible oh,
Speaker 3: and then sort of conversation how do they, But there's
Speaker 3: a roof for the crane, intrigue, drama action. We need
Speaker 3: the wow factor. Now I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: We need your help. So let's just set the scene
Speaker 3: for you. So this is gonna be set eighties, it's Australia.
Speaker 3: What could be on stage or what could come on
Speaker 3: stage that gets the audible? What is the Indiana Jones
Speaker 3: rolling boulder?
Speaker 5: Yea, we had there's a few ideas flying around. Could
Speaker 5: we get the actual whatever is going to be the
Speaker 5: grease lightning car? Can we drive it up onto the stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So whether that's a Holden Commodore or a Taranta,
Speaker 3: so an actual greased Tarana.
Speaker 5: I still love your idea for a beach scene where
Speaker 5: we bring in a ton of sand.
Speaker 3: Of sand, a ton of sand thinking it now people,
Speaker 3: because it's a straight up there's plenty of sand around
Speaker 3: other than we are going to go some sand from
Speaker 3: down the road or.
Speaker 5: Oh I didn't think of us all sand all over
Speaker 5: the stages, Like who is the poor mastard who has
Speaker 5: to clean that out?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: But I still like the beach sayne idea.
Speaker 4: Oh, let's get out of here.
Speaker 3: They've got a gastro breakout and there's been a lot
Speaker 3: of kiddy vomit.
Speaker 5: So, but it needs a wow fact. We had one
Speaker 5: for a high school musical we did. It was called
Speaker 5: How the West Was Warped. It was a Western and
Speaker 5: there's not a lot to get excited about for a
Speaker 5: high school play, especially public school. But we had one
Speaker 5: wow moment and that was the wax glass bottle. The
Speaker 5: teacher had four made. It looked like a real wine bottle,
Speaker 5: so Hollywood, fake glass, fake glass made of wax. And
Speaker 5: as the main character hit it over another actor's head,
Speaker 5: the av guy would play a glass smashing sound effect that.
Speaker 3: It's a stunt. Yes, this is what we need. So
Speaker 3: we need we need a wow factor. So so if
Speaker 3: you think about eighties Australian, is it a bogan thing?
Speaker 3: Are there three jet skis? Not one? Not too one
Speaker 3: would have been great? Hangund or is there five jet skis?
Speaker 5: So maybe we don't just need the sand for the beach,
Speaker 5: we need the ocean.
Speaker 3: The t birds suddenly open, they're on jet skis. We
Speaker 3: we open con goes up the t Birds They're all
Speaker 3: on jet skis.
Speaker 5: They're singing yes and riding towards the audience like they're
Speaker 5: facing us.
Speaker 3: How are they? How are they riding on.
Speaker 4: Skateboards?
Speaker 3: Jet skis?
Speaker 4: I'm getting a wow.
Speaker 3: There's a jet ski on a skateboard and then ostage
Speaker 3: handles are pulling them in.
Speaker 5: Okay, so they go across the stage.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's all just working, Brocus at the moment. Tell
Speaker 3: you what, though, we have not got that much time.
Speaker 3: Have three time it's going to go really but we
Speaker 3: need we need the wow factor. Okay, so we need
Speaker 3: your ideas. What could be a wow factor's eighties? It's Australia.
Speaker 5: A koala, just a live koala.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with a hand. We're obviously safety done.
Speaker 5: But according to what are you doing there?
Speaker 3: Well, you know it's like he's singing many Villiny made
Speaker 3: a career out of him. Mate, a horse.
Speaker 4: Kala is a wow factor.
Speaker 5: At this stage, all ideas a go on the whiteboard.
Speaker 3: So k out there, ton of sand, ton of.
Speaker 5: Said jet skis pulled on skateboard.
Speaker 3: Times five five jet skis? Okay, what else? What's the
Speaker 3: wow factor?
Speaker 1: Carl Brager, you're listening to the Christian Okyl's Show podcast.
Speaker 3: In three weeks time, there we are putting on a
Speaker 3: play for everybody who never got a speaking part in
Speaker 3: their school play, doing a very own version of Greece

Speaker 3: on the show today. There we're going. Blue Sky Thinking
Speaker 3: is what they call it. What is the big moment?
Speaker 3: The wow factor that happens during this play? Something happens
Speaker 3: during it or maybe at the start when the curtain's
Speaker 3: got there's something there. The wow facts are where everyone
Speaker 3: in the crowd goes, how did they do?
Speaker 5: There was a great one in Harry Potter and The
Speaker 5: Curse Child. For anyone who's seen it, when they turned
Speaker 5: the lights down you'll know what I'm talking about before
Speaker 5: the end of the first act.
Speaker 3: Great, that really helps.
