Speaker 1: It's a Christian O'Connor show pod.
Speaker 2: Hey, good on, it's five minutes past six. Welcome to
Speaker 2: the Christian O'Connor Show, Wednesday morning. I hope you well,
Speaker 2: thanks for tuning. Good morning Jack, Good.
Speaker 3: Morning Christian and Patty, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Good morning Patty. Hey listen, guys, I don't want any
Speaker 2: of you worrying that the Royal Family aren't aware of
Speaker 2: what we're going through over here. Prince Charles has got
Speaker 2: a message for all of you.
Speaker 4: I know the Victorians, like all Lotustrilians, are tenacious and resilient,
Speaker 4: or indeed, as you might say in Australia, made of
Speaker 4: tough stuff.
Speaker 2: Who had a word in Charlie boys ear say listen
Speaker 2: over there, you put this in that little script and
Speaker 2: it will fly. They are walking down the street every day,
Speaker 2: high five in each other going made of tough stuff.
Speaker 2: Wow we I mean, it's right from the heart as
Speaker 2: well with Prince Charles list.
Speaker 4: I know the Victorians, like all Lotstrilians, are tenacious and resilient,
Speaker 4: or indeed, as you might say in Australia, made of
Speaker 4: tough stuff.
Speaker 5: What does the Royal family think that we're waiting for
Speaker 5: a message from them? As well, like, hey, we should
Speaker 5: really talk to the Australians. It's been a while.
Speaker 3: Now since their money.
Speaker 6: Jack.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what that's actually about.
Speaker 2: Is this, And when Mummy finally goes he's in charge,
Speaker 2: he gets the job right. By then, he'd be about
Speaker 2: nine thousand years old. I'm barely able to walk to
Speaker 2: even be a king. And of course he will be
Speaker 2: in charge of the Commonwealth. And what a few of
Speaker 2: the country has already start to say, we're not too
Speaker 2: sure if it's going to be here, We're not too sure.
Speaker 2: So obviously Charlie Boy's just making sure that he's got
Speaker 2: friends of Victoria by leaving us an eight second message.
Speaker 5: Don't forget the tough stuff thing. Yes one of you, Yeah,
Speaker 5: one of you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been at too enough years. I don't
Speaker 2: hear that phrase too often. If he has said she'd
Speaker 2: be right right or up the guts, then I would
Speaker 2: have gone, actually, someone's up there, someone's given them the
Speaker 2: right phrase to say. This feels to me like it's
Speaker 2: just what's the point, Charlie Boy.
Speaker 4: I know the Victorians, like all Australians, are tenacious and resilient,
Speaker 4: or indeed, as you might say in Australia made of tough.
Speaker 2: Stuff, wonderful, blessed. Thank you very much, Prince Charles. You know,
Speaker 2: the other day we were talking about what passes for
Speaker 2: entertainment now as we're all in stage four. Yesterday I
Speaker 2: was put the bins out, okay, because it's Tuesday and
Speaker 2: this pin day. That means it's mind you all to
Speaker 2: put the bins out, and I'd like to get them
Speaker 2: out early. I don't want to be the guy that's
Speaker 2: the last in the street sort of looking up and down.
Speaker 2: So I was getting them out yesterday afternoon. Finally, finally
Speaker 2: I saw the big lorry come along to take away
Speaker 2: the skip. The person that lives opposite my house. They've
Speaker 2: had a skip out there for three weeks and it
Speaker 2: finally went to be picked up yesterday, and I found
Speaker 2: myself right, I thought, oh, I really want to watch this.
Speaker 2: It's a skip being picked up, because you know, I
Speaker 2: totally know. I went indoors because I didn't want to
Speaker 2: be that guy who stands around watching stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: because there's a bit odd, isn't it. So I went indoors.
Speaker 2: There's the benefit of having blinds or shut as you
Speaker 2: can hide behind them. I watched for ten minutes that skip.
Speaker 2: He attached the chains, then he got the little stabilizers,
Speaker 2: a little feet that come out signe to stabilize it.
Speaker 5: The little lorrie kind of braced picked it up. It
Speaker 5: swung for a bit and then he pressed another button
Speaker 5: and it moved it over.
Speaker 2: Then he pressed the release button. He took the chains off,
Speaker 2: he checked it all, then he drove off. That was
Speaker 2: a highlight of my day yesterday watching that skip being
Speaker 2: picked up.
Speaker 5: You know who does that now?
Speaker 2: Straight?
Speaker 5: A three year old boy named Harry.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: I have to look here a load of a photo
Speaker 2: of a load of CDs that your dad is trying
Speaker 2: to sell.
Speaker 5: Is this right? Yes? I told him he had a
Speaker 5: bunch of vinyl, gave that away for free, and now
Speaker 5: he's saying he's going to he's going to sell the CDs,
Speaker 5: I said, dad, everybody wants vinyl. Now nobody's buying CDs anymore.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it's like stock, isn't it like gold? It's going
Speaker 2: through the roof all those albums your mum and dad
Speaker 2: have had that they gave away to like charity shops.
Speaker 2: Now they're worth a bomb now, especially because they're the
Speaker 2: original ones. They're not the reissues which are still really expensive. Now,
Speaker 2: so is this his CD collection?
Speaker 5: So this is what he's got. He's messaged the Family's said, hey,
Speaker 5: before I sell these. I think he thinks he's going
Speaker 5: to get a premium pass for it. Before I sell these?
Speaker 5: Does anybody want any of the CDs in this box?
Speaker 5: So you even got a CD player, wouldn't be out
Speaker 5: of plane.
Speaker 3: I don't know anymore I do, but that's no surprise.
Speaker 5: Well, I used to have thousands of CDs.
Speaker 2: I sold them all. I got rid of them years
Speaker 2: ago because everything suddenly went on to hard drive and
Speaker 2: suddenly they just looked clunky.
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what, though, you know old man
Speaker 5: he's a proper music fan, then yeah, oh yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Looking through this. So he's got like a couple of
Speaker 2: Stones CDs. He's got Sticky Fingers, Goat her Head Soup,
Speaker 2: a Ted Nugent album as well sticking in there. I
Speaker 2: also see he's got Lloyd Cole on the commotions. Brilliant,
Speaker 2: brilliant artists. I didn't know be across that. I'm taking
Speaker 2: the Green Day CDs I left over from when you
Speaker 2: left Home that was me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Green Day's May but yeah, Aerosmith, Cold Chisel, Black Sabbath,
Speaker 5: Rolling Stones.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing someone brought on this for Father's Day. He's
Speaker 2: got one of those classics, the essential Australian rock, because
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone she goes out and buys one
Speaker 2: of those of themselves unless you're going on a long
Speaker 2: road trip and you see them at the Servo years ago,
Speaker 2: the cramming something that. It's got chizelon and everything else.
Speaker 2: But that's a classic father this Father's Day.
Speaker 5: So it's got who Doo Guru's.
Speaker 2: In there, Kinky, which is a great album as well,
Speaker 2: the classic album which as well hughes for years. Eric
Speaker 2: Clapton Unplugged is MTV session of that as well. So
Speaker 2: what does he want for this? Is he into the
Speaker 2: Avid Brothers as well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there is some good stuff in there, but
Speaker 5: this is the thing everybody can either stream it now
Speaker 5: or people are going back to vinyl. Do you think
Speaker 5: this will make any money? I said he could maybe
Speaker 5: sell it for a dollar at a shop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think sadly, you know you're not going to
Speaker 2: get much money for this. So what does he think
Speaker 2: He's going to get like one hundred bucks or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but he's I mean, he's asked if
Speaker 5: we could put it out to tender on the show.
Speaker 2: I didn't wonder if there was an agenda here, Jack,
Speaker 2: nothing is just have a look at this photo. Here's
Speaker 2: some interesting albums my dad's into. So you know a
Speaker 2: couple of months ago you tried to sell that death
Speaker 2: trap of a uke.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's still for sales.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now your dad has kind of used the
Speaker 2: show as a kind of radio gum tree.
Speaker 5: He just thought there's music lovers who listened to this show.
Speaker 5: He's trying to sell music to the world.
Speaker 2: I'm just read in a record company to try and
Speaker 2: do that isn't going that well. You know, they've got
Speaker 2: Spotify people that's stripping it, streaming it for free.
Speaker 5: Now. I told him to expect nothing. But do you
Speaker 5: think we could What do you think is the asking
Speaker 5: price for a box like this? Maybe fifty CDs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon, there's fifty CDs here there, say Kadi Lang.
Speaker 2: He's a fan of Kadi Lang. I know in Ncy
Speaker 2: Old Late Night skin Flicks on SBS. He's got Katie
Speaker 2: Lang's just left out here as well. I think that's
Speaker 2: just harm the pricee that.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 2: Wow, we what do you think is fair? As an
Speaker 2: asking price? What is it with an auction? Is a
Speaker 2: reserve price they asked for?
Speaker 5: I reckon, we start a dollar? Yeah? Wow, we've just
Speaker 5: seen as well. He's got some deaf leopards stuck in
Speaker 5: there too, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So look high lights in this fifty odd CD collection.
Speaker 2: He's got, you know, all your classics there. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of classic rock and roll.
Speaker 5: There's Deep Purple, a couple of Rolling Stones albums.
Speaker 2: There's also some great Australian music as well, Chisel by
Speaker 2: Cold Chisel. There's a Mark Seymour solo album in there.
Speaker 2: It's not all rock and roll, though, don't Kadie Lang Yep.
Speaker 2: Kate Sobrano, The best of Kate.
Speaker 5: Sobrano, Get best Off? Okay, oh bother You? Original Broadway
Speaker 5: cast recording. I don't remember listening to that too much.
Speaker 2: That's how you're made to alright, the best of Arim
Speaker 2: as well, from when he's feeling a bit more downbeat.
Speaker 2: Oh dear stings down the bottom right where he belongs,
Speaker 2: right down the bottom. There's like a shame the wine
Speaker 2: bottom right is sting Is and some Puccini as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a very this is a very cultured collection. Alright,
Speaker 2: any offer, any offer, that's not what you do with
Speaker 2: like Christie's or so. But he's to have a reserve price.
Speaker 2: Will you say twenty five dollars?
Speaker 5: No, you aren't spinning twenty five dollars on CD anymore.
Speaker 5: You're a terrible salesman. Five dollars, five dollars dollars.
Speaker 3: No, fifty twenty five bucks.
Speaker 5: When I said he will get a dollar for all,
Speaker 5: I'm in a dollar for the box, not a dollar person.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Let's open to the lines. Now,
Speaker 2: what are you prepared to offer for this fifty c
Speaker 2: D collection?

Speaker 2: to the show. Jack's awesome dad, John Posts. Good morning John.
Speaker 2: I understand we disturbed you at work.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's okay, all right.
Speaker 2: But listen. First of all, I know you're a cultured man.
Speaker 2: Amazing CD collection. You've got some great stuff here. I've
Speaker 2: got all the Australian classics like Mark Seymour and Hunters
Speaker 2: and collectors. And then I see you've got Lloyd Cole
Speaker 2: in the Commotions, bit of Cadi Lang in there, crash
Speaker 2: Test dummies who thought that they had another song.
Speaker 7: In them, very good album.
Speaker 1: I really like that.
Speaker 2: Then I see you got then there's some Katy Perry
Speaker 2: which I like a bit of Katy Perry as well.
Speaker 2: You've got the Reservoir Dog soundtrack, which was a brilliant track.
Speaker 2: But then you get with some really great stuff like
Speaker 2: Dark Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and James.
Speaker 7: What's the first one I ever bought? Was it a
Speaker 7: long time ago?
Speaker 2: Great album? Classic album? And I did run as you're
Speaker 2: into the Avid Brothers, who are a great band.
Speaker 1: Aren't they?
Speaker 7: They certainly are great.
Speaker 2: And then also you're a man of contrast. You've got
Speaker 2: some Puccini in here as well.
Speaker 7: John, I don't know where I picked that up.
Speaker 2: And then also you go from Puccini maybe in the
Speaker 2: early hours of the morning, then crank it up before
Speaker 2: we go to bed with a big old blast of
Speaker 2: the Broadway recording of old.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sam, I don't play some of those very oftens.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's great.

Speaker 2: that you might get for this? Because Jack's brought this

Speaker 2: Or is he going to charge you like a seller's fee?
Speaker 2: But how much do you think you want for this?

Speaker 5: I thought you were saying you can have this before

Speaker 7: going to pass it on.
Speaker 2: Like gangsters have, they have a fence down and past.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a drugging community.

Speaker 2: Cay just wanted to get rid of it, so he

Speaker 2: said he was selling up at least double So what
Speaker 2: has made about sixty to seventy thousand? Wow, As you
Speaker 2: Australian say, here in Australia maye have tough stuff all right.
Speaker 2: So often on the show we have a like a
Speaker 2: spillover from three topic Tuesday, which we did yesterday and
Speaker 2: we do every Tuesday where we do three phoners at
Speaker 2: the same time. One of the topics yesterday is still
Speaker 2: around and it was what's the first thing you ever
Speaker 2: saved up money for? Because I think if you actually
Speaker 2: do take a moment to think about it, you remember
Speaker 2: the very first thing you actually saved up, whether it
Speaker 2: was your pocket money, your little piggybank, or whether it's
Speaker 2: like from a Saturday job or a part time john.
Speaker 2: When you saved your own money to actually go and
Speaker 2: buy something with your own money, it was quite in
Speaker 2: your life. This comes from Kim in Frankston, Christian I
Speaker 2: was just on a show. Yes, sir, I love the topic.
Speaker 2: The first thing you saved your money up for. This
Speaker 2: took me back to saving for a box of Dernt pencils.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ultimate, that big sort of keyboard of them
Speaker 2: that the full keyboard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the full seventy two was the If you had that,
Speaker 5: then you had all the colors.
Speaker 3: Yeah made.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When I was thirteen years old, this is all
Speaker 2: I wanted Christian. Those pencils. They were the Rolls Royce,
Speaker 2: weird gree of pencils. They came in boxes of twelve,
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 5: Then there was the really big one. I thought there
Speaker 5: was like a thirty six. Yeah, and then I'm seventy
Speaker 5: two had like two layers of pencils. So you'd open
Speaker 5: up the box and then you would have said chocolate, yeah,
Speaker 5: Cigarett layer underneath box.
Speaker 3: With favorite character food.
Speaker 2: You're eating the pencils, maybe out your way. A school
Speaker 2: friend had the twenty four box, only had the cheaper
Speaker 2: favorite castales. I remember those from school. Favorite costeals that
Speaker 2: that used to grade pencils was like a two D
Speaker 2: or three H or something that the lead them was
Speaker 2: Grady or something, and I really wanted those dorments. I
Speaker 2: saved my pocket funny for money for months and finally
Speaker 2: had enough for a pack of twenty four. I proudly
Speaker 2: went down to the news agent's and asked a man
Speaker 2: behind the counter for them. He said, do you want
Speaker 2: the twelves, the twenty fours or the thirty six? I
Speaker 2: didn't know. Hang on a minute, sir, they come in
Speaker 2: a thirty six pack. Now, Oh my god. The dilemma
Speaker 2: extra colors a bigger box. It was torn between taking
Speaker 2: immediately the twenty four pack there or holding out and
Speaker 2: saving extra for the larger pack. This is a life lesson.
Speaker 2: Isn't about deferred gratification and done or what Pats he
Speaker 2: would done? It Just ate the whole twenty four Christian.
Speaker 2: I want to stick it to my friend with the
Speaker 2: twenty four box. So I held out for another couple
Speaker 2: of months to save for the bigger one. The joy
Speaker 2: when I walked back in there to get the thirty
Speaker 2: six pack of owning those beautiful rolls, Royce of pencils,
Speaker 2: the dormins, the smell of the newness when I opened
Speaker 2: that beautifully illustrated hard box it used to come in,
Speaker 2: that real hard box.
Speaker 5: It was the metallic one.
Speaker 2: It was it. Even you couldn't call it. It was
Speaker 2: a very flimsy tin. He used to put that in
Speaker 2: your all bag and just just moving a shoulder again,
Speaker 2: the other shoulder on. We're just dent half of it.
Speaker 2: And the amazing selection of such vibrant, rich colors.
Speaker 5: I remember.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how you can still remember this, Christian. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't let anyone else use them, and slept with them
Speaker 2: under my pillow. That's so cool, only to be used
Speaker 2: the special occasions coloring homemade birthday cards and stuff like
Speaker 2: that for mom and dad and all my school friends
Speaker 2: were so envious. So I was so proud until a
Speaker 2: few weeks later, past the same news agents he had
Speaker 2: a big sign up in the window, brand new seventy
Speaker 2: two marks on. My thirteen year old me did not
Speaker 2: to know how to swear, but that's how angry I was.
Speaker 2: Kim and Frankston great email Kim.
Speaker 8: Christian.

Speaker 2: I bet you felt like a young man at that moment,
Speaker 2: didn't he won You're handling cash one hundred dollars as
Speaker 2: well to a young thirty year old. It's an eye
Speaker 2: watering about sort of thing that they'd rob a bank.
Speaker 2: You see it, this is one hundred dollars. Then you're
Speaker 2: cycling it yourself, your own thing. I got this myself.
Speaker 2: None bought this for me. It's a real moment, isn't it.
Speaker 9: It was? It was, It was a turning point. It
Speaker 9: was just like I played for this is mine, that's question.

Speaker 2: take care, no worries.
Speaker 9: Every good day.

Speaker 11: Thing I bought Christian. I was eleven and we lived
Speaker 11: in McCloud, which is the north North suburbs of Melbourne,
Speaker 11: and we had to go to Saint Kilda, which was
Speaker 11: nearly an hour away in the car. And I wanted
Speaker 11: this cassette player and I didn't care if I had
Speaker 11: to wait for a better one. I wanted this particular
Speaker 11: model and it was about thirty dollars and it was
Speaker 11: a Panasonic and it came in the leather case. And
Speaker 11: my dad said, oh, do you want to wait for
Speaker 11: another model? You know we'll get you a better one. No, no, no,
Speaker 11: I want this one. I want this one. And then
Speaker 11: I would go home and I would sit by the radio,
Speaker 11: question and I would hit record and record my favorite
Speaker 11: songs off the radio and play them back on the
Speaker 11: cassette player.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had one of those little ones, just like that single,
Speaker 2: long sort of oblong sort of cassette record, wasn't You
Speaker 2: could hold it up to the radio record your favorite songs.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And you know I used to sit there and
Speaker 11: wait for the songs, and I'd get really annoyed if
Speaker 11: I missed the start of the song.
Speaker 2: That I used to get really annoyed too when the
Speaker 2: DJ would talk over the end of the song, which
Speaker 2: I now do for a living.
Speaker 11: Now annoying DJ.
Speaker 2: Used to trash the last like forty seconds. Shut up, Now,
Speaker 2: I am that guy. This full circle. What was the
Speaker 2: first album you got on cassette?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 11: Well, the first album I actually bought. Well, the first
Speaker 11: single I bought was going to See My Baby Tonight
Speaker 11: by the Laddie Do. And my first album was split
Speaker 11: with Matt Rumors.
Speaker 5: What a great album for your first one to crazy.
Speaker 11: It was a little record shop outside Flinders Street station
Speaker 11: and I would lay by my records from that same guy.
Speaker 11: And I've still got most of those vinyls today.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're so.
Speaker 2: Lucky, because so many of us just gave away all
Speaker 2: those great albums we had on vinyl when we all
Speaker 2: moved over to what we thought was a future CDs exactly.
Speaker 11: But I've still got vinyls, and now my twenty five
Speaker 11: year old now buys vinyls and has their own record
Speaker 11: player as well.
Speaker 5: I love that. That's great.
Speaker 1: Christian Well, Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I saw something amazing. Actors and actresses when they're
Speaker 2: promoting a new movie, they do all these promo rounds,
Speaker 2: all these different videos, you know, trying to sell their
Speaker 2: movie to us all over the world. And it must
Speaker 2: be exhausting, you know. They read out these scripts that
Speaker 2: other people read for them, and that's all the different
Speaker 2: markets around the world. Russell Crowe, I think is a
Speaker 2: great actor. Okay, he's done so many truly brilliant movies,
Speaker 2: and as he's getting older now I feel he stopped.
Speaker 2: He never stopped as a guy, gave a lot of didn't
Speaker 2: really care a lot more he didn't really care. Now
Speaker 2: he really doesn't care. He knows who he is in
Speaker 2: the world, and if you follow him on social media,
Speaker 2: a very interesting funny guy on social media as well.
Speaker 2: He uses it really really well. And yesterday he shared
Speaker 2: this and I loved it. He's promoting a new movie,
Speaker 2: but listen to how he promotes it. It really makes
Speaker 2: me want to go and see this movie because of
Speaker 2: the honesty and power of this. All movie promos should
Speaker 2: be like this.
Speaker 5: They say, there is.
Speaker 6: A catalyst at the heart of the cinema experience, a
Speaker 6: social contract, a binding, dynamic power that lifts the cinematic
Speaker 6: experience into a realm of intimate connection between the audience
Speaker 6: and the screen and the stars in the heavens beyond.
Speaker 8: They say, But who are they some considered pretentious squads
Speaker 8: to try to pick your pocket and tell you it's
Speaker 8: around them bad.
Speaker 2: They've done this the MoMA mea. I've seen it.
Speaker 5: Hinged with it.
Speaker 6: It's called unhinjured.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hang on you talk to the goes
Speaker 2: off your own. That is how to sell a movie,
Speaker 2: isn't it Unhinged by Russell Crowe?
Speaker 5: I think that is fantastic.
Speaker 2: But up on our Instagram if you want to see it,
Speaker 2: and on Facebook as well.
Speaker 5: It's really really good.
Speaker 1: Christian The Christian O'Connell Show podcast who's Calling.
Speaker 2: Christian is back for twenty twenty.
Speaker 12: Christian O'Connor, Christian, Here's that works?
Speaker 2: For two weeks on the show, it's all about you
Speaker 2: trying to get hold of celebrities where you find them
Speaker 2: on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Have you know a friend of
Speaker 2: a friend who's the cleaner? Four Kate Sobrano fucking names
Speaker 2: and mom, okay, it's my radio. Anyway. At the end
Speaker 2: of the two weeks, winnounce the top five. You pick
Speaker 2: the winner, the celebrity you really like, maybe like the
Speaker 2: sound their charity, or he just thought they were funny
Speaker 2: when they called the show. The winning celebrity gets twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the charity of their choice, which is
Speaker 2: a huge amount of money, but even bigger this year
Speaker 2: because we all know what this year has been like
Speaker 2: and charities they're obviously having a very tough year. They're
Speaker 2: not raising any money to twenty thousand dollars for charity
Speaker 2: and all celebrities, so many celebrities are affiliated with various charities,
Speaker 2: and then if you got that celebrity to call the show,
Speaker 2: you also win twenty thousand dollars, like Ryan last year
Speaker 2: who got Olivia Newton John to call the show. Ryan
Speaker 2: was actually kind enough. He gave you don't have to
Speaker 2: do this. He gave half of his money to the
Speaker 2: Olivia Newton John Wellness Foundation as well. So you get
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars. The celebrity gets twenty thousand dollars. Now,
Speaker 2: if Robert de Niro has listened to this live in
Speaker 2: New York on the iHeart platform, if a celebrity wants
Speaker 2: to call us directly, you can have the whole forty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the charity of your choice. And how
Speaker 2: this works.
Speaker 5: Then if you go on Instagram, you'll find all these
Speaker 5: celebrities this year. They're not working on projects. They're going crazy,
Speaker 5: like Russell Crowe swearing us telling us to go and
Speaker 5: see his movies.
Speaker 2: We need Russell Crowe on this show. They want to
Speaker 2: feel they've got egos. They're not working this year. They
Speaker 2: don't want to feel forgotten about. They want to feel relevant.
Speaker 2: They'll want to know that as a radio show, they
Speaker 2: can come and have a quick chat with us and
Speaker 2: they can plug their charity whenever they else they want
Speaker 2: to talk about, and they might win twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for the charity of their choice. We did this last year.
Speaker 2: The show was only just over a year old. I
Speaker 2: was terrified it wasn't going to work. I've done it
Speaker 2: in the UK and I wasn't sure if it worked
Speaker 2: here or whether you'd.
Speaker 5: Even like it. But it worked amazingly.
Speaker 2: We were stunned with the amount of celebrities you got
Speaker 2: to call us from all over the world. The majority
Speaker 2: of these coming through social media, and look, we're on
Speaker 2: our phones. They're on their phones all the time. Get
Speaker 2: your kids, if you're stuck in doors with the kids
Speaker 2: like mine, get your kids to think about their favorite
Speaker 2: top ten, Top twenty celebrities, actors, actresses, musicians, whoever they like,
Speaker 2: and start peeing them. All these celebrities they like to
Speaker 2: engage with their fans. Now, especially this year, they're doing
Speaker 2: it more because they've got more time. So who knows
Speaker 2: who you could get on the show. You really are
Speaker 2: just one message away from winning twenty thousand dollars. Now
Speaker 2: there's a website. It's called All the Details Everything We're
Speaker 2: talking about. You want to find out more, you can
Speaker 2: go to Christian dot com dot au can find out more.
Speaker 2: There's a thirty second video on there by the way
Speaker 2: you can watch and watch one which explains it, you know,
Speaker 2: a lot clearer than me. Jack's on there right now.
Speaker 2: It's got all every bit of information need, even if
Speaker 2: it's a phone number. Like a couple of Verds celebrities,
Speaker 2: they called from all over the world. I mean, James
Speaker 2: Corden was in Ala Bear Grills. He's got this big
Speaker 2: new Amazon show at the moment. He was in the UK.
Speaker 2: Simon Begg was in the UK as well. He's even
Speaker 2: got like a little is it a world clock on there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, a helpful way to say, like when it's six
Speaker 5: am to nine am in Melbourne, you could call your
Speaker 5: time and then us a drop down menu and say
Speaker 5: I'm in La or I'm in New York.
Speaker 2: Because to call Michelle Obama is going to call. I've
Speaker 2: got a feeling that one of you is going to
Speaker 2: get hold of Michelle Obama. What we don't want is
Speaker 2: good and.
Speaker 5: You know what time is it there?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know, and they probably want they're not because you
Speaker 2: look at those bits of the Oval office. They've got
Speaker 2: clocks all over the world, haven't they. You can't take
Speaker 2: them with you when you leave the job. And she
Speaker 2: probably didn't get some new world clocks because it reminds
Speaker 2: her husband.
Speaker 5: Of the job he used to have.
Speaker 2: They got kicked out off the wall. Michelle, I have
Speaker 2: told you about that.
Speaker 5: But there's a sneaky little world clock on a radio
Speaker 5: station website. We're all good. So I love the idea
Speaker 5: of someone like Robert de Niro coming to the website
Speaker 5: and going, all right, I want to call between six
Speaker 5: am and nine am Melbourne time. And then there's a
Speaker 5: drop down menu and it's got a bunch of cities. Obviously,
Speaker 5: we can't put every city in the world because that
Speaker 5: would just waste people's time. So we've just gone for
Speaker 5: the biggest cities London, New York, la Paris and Lord Howe,
Speaker 5: Ireland is Sorry, where is that? It's in the Oceana, somewhere.
Speaker 3: Off Astragiu's coast.
Speaker 2: But who might be there?
Speaker 5: Hey guys, it's Robert de Niro.
Speaker 2: I'm with Michelle Obaba. We both want to speak to
Speaker 2: you on who's calling Christian. So it starts in two
Speaker 2: and a half weeks time. All the details are online
Speaker 2: and also the times if it's from Melbourne to Lord
Speaker 2: Howe Island. Everything you need on the video you'll find
Speaker 2: it at the Christian O'Connell showed, now what's the web
Speaker 2: best website Christian O'Connor dot com dot au.
Speaker 5: The Christiacconnellshow dot com dot au.
Speaker 2: Oh we've got that, Tomain, did we? Oh look at
Speaker 2: us all grown up after two and a half years,
Speaker 2: and good luck. And I know it doesn't start for
Speaker 2: two enough weeks, but a lot of you are starting
Speaker 2: to contact celebrities already.
Speaker 1: I would do that.
Speaker 5: Good luck.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jack was making me try and sell on air his
Speaker 2: dad's box of CDs, just a random load of CDs,
Speaker 2: but some actually very good stuff and they're going from
Speaker 2: Pink Floyd Donks Are the Moon to a lot of
Speaker 2: great Australian classic rock albums, also a bit of the
Speaker 2: eighties Brits stuff with Lloyd Carl and the Commotions and
Speaker 2: then sadly some unnecessary crash test dummies.
Speaker 5: Still we managed to get him one hundred bucks for this.
Speaker 5: I'm as shocked as anybody than anybody I thought. Honestly,
Speaker 5: twenty dollars or less is what he could expect for
Speaker 5: the scene.
Speaker 3: You need a cut from that, Jack too, machine half
Speaker 3: an our shows.
Speaker 2: We need to cut from that. That's what needs to happen. However,
Speaker 2: if anyone wants to get some bonus points someone from
Speaker 2: Crash Test Dummies. I don't even know what's the name
Speaker 2: of the guy who's the lead sing of Crush Test Dummies.
Speaker 5: We don't need to know his name all in case
Speaker 5: he calls in and he goes, oh, it's Gary, He'll
Speaker 5: crush Test Dummy.
Speaker 2: What were the other ten tracks you managed to cobble
Speaker 2: together on that album? Anyway? And you're telling me that
Speaker 2: killing Heidi? Are throwing shade on your dad CD Box
Speaker 2: of Wonders? Yeah?
Speaker 5: They comment on photo of my dad's CDs on our
Speaker 5: Instagram page five dollars with a laughing emoji of it.
Speaker 2: Ah, come on, that's a rare collector's item of that
Speaker 2: Crush Test Dummies album on there.
Speaker 5: They're just worried that there's no killing Hardy A month.
Speaker 1: Music Snobbery Christian Hello, Christian O'Connell show podcast. This is
Speaker 1: going straight to the pool room. Are you telling me
Speaker 1: that you've got a time machine?
Speaker 2: Worry? I'll tell you what any buses secks anyone, but
Speaker 2: I say any have the dyers above nervous tea?
Speaker 11: No one? All right?
Speaker 2: I mean, did there's once a week we go back
Speaker 2: to a certain year because of the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 2: Today we go back to nineteen eighty. Judging from what
Speaker 2: we heard yesterday on the showprom Patsy, it's some of
Speaker 2: the year you started dancing for cash to get that
Speaker 2: spiral part of flames.
Speaker 3: I did start lessons when I was said, actually and.
Speaker 2: This was highland dancing dancing, she's got to dancing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Patsy was a very you're like you won a ward
Speaker 2: or whatever they called state champion.
Speaker 3: I forget that stage danced overseas?
Speaker 5: Do you know you danced overseas?
Speaker 2: What like trying to earn your you're fair over there
Speaker 2: dancing or like you know a Titanic they're dancers on there?
Speaker 2: Were you dancing away across the seas? Where did you go?
Speaker 3: New Zealand?
Speaker 5: They had dancing danced all over the world, Then go
Speaker 5: New z.
Speaker 3: I didn't say all over the world. I just sit
Speaker 3: over the seas.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: New Zealand's very strong contingent of highland dancers. And I
Speaker 3: think eighty seven it was I danced over in Napier.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's incredible. Did you have a rival?
Speaker 3: Did I have a rival? I had many rivals. Ooh,
Speaker 3: lay Glory, very strong competition. Believe me, we've produced some
Speaker 3: beautiful dances out of Victoria over the years.
Speaker 5: God, those kids could dance with cash. Can you say
Speaker 5: the name of your Maine nemesis.
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Probably Suzanne Hateley, who listens to the show and now
Speaker 3: lives in Geelong. She was a beautiful dancer get away. Yeah,
Speaker 3: she's brilliant.
Speaker 2: Tell you what, no one does a nemesis, No, Patsy
Speaker 2: doesn't she Jacks.
Speaker 3: Is a beautiful girl. And then you're still friends no
Speaker 3: of her.
Speaker 5: And then that she's still listening to the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing, we're Facebook friends because your enemy is close.
Speaker 2: But she has tabs on everybody, all right. So nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty you an't even around Jack. It's a concept, it's
Speaker 2: a collection of ideas. This was big news, so the
Speaker 2: PM in nineteen eighteen. Malcolm Fraser was the Australian Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: Population of fourteen million. Back in nineteen eighty and Australia's
Speaker 2: first test tube baby was born in here in Melbourne
Speaker 2: at the Royal Women's Hospital.
Speaker 5: I remember that being a huge deal.
Speaker 2: Was this something that was talked about a lot in
Speaker 2: the eighties was about the whole medical advancements and test
Speaker 2: tube babies being a thing even before, because I was
Speaker 2: only seven before I ever knew how babies came along.
Speaker 5: I still thought it was the stalk. Don't you know
Speaker 5: one of the test you babies?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I know, really yeah. Frankly, my personal trainer is a
Speaker 5: one triplet of a test tube baby. They went into
Speaker 5: expecting one baby and they got three. That's amazing. I
Speaker 5: didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Christian iconn Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, The biggest movie of nineteen eighty was this one.
Speaker 2: Empire Strikes Back, my favorite one out of all the
Speaker 2: Star Wars movies.
Speaker 5: I love this movie.
Speaker 2: However, for me, the big bit everyone still talks about
Speaker 2: from the Empire Strikes Back is this classic movie scene
Speaker 2: was just one of the most famous ones in Star
Speaker 2: Wars movies, but also in all of cinema. I knew
Speaker 2: your father, so we found out that Darth was Luke's dad,
Speaker 2: and the thing that we're I found amazed about that.
Speaker 2: The would big big thing with me is that someone
Speaker 2: as cool as Darth Fader could have such a dull
Speaker 2: son as Luke Skywalker. Because Luke Skywalker wasn't my guy
Speaker 2: even want to watch him now? I find it really irritated.
Speaker 2: I was a hand solo guy.
Speaker 5: For me.
Speaker 2: The star of the movies was always sandsided. It was
Speaker 2: the reboy, he was the pirate, he was the cool one. Skywalker,
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, was a pain in the backside.
Speaker 2: He's really whiny and irritating the movies to me, and
Speaker 2: I was like Darth for all his evil, it's just
Speaker 2: got that whiny son that doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2: That was my big takeaway from it. The other big movie,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite comedy movies of all time. Please
Speaker 2: tell me you've seen Caddy Shak. Noah, oh, I'm jealous.
Speaker 2: Please make time this weekend watching Caddy Shak. This will
Speaker 2: make no sense, but a lot of you, a lot
Speaker 2: of you. Please tell me there are Caddyshack fans out
Speaker 2: there because this clip I love.
Speaker 1: And in order to conquer him, I have to think
Speaker 1: any one ever passible.
Speaker 2: What a line up Chevy Chase, Rodney Jingerfield, and Bill Murray.
Speaker 2: There's a great book about the making of that movie.
Speaker 2: Bill Murray's lines. He did in six days, no script,
Speaker 2: just turned up and said whatever he want. To do,
Speaker 2: is that one of the golden gods, like he said,
Speaker 2: is now. Bill Murray is someone who I could if
Speaker 2: I could get anyone on who's calling Christian, would be
Speaker 2: Bill Murray for me, just a hugely talented We watched
Speaker 2: Ghostbusters a couple of weeks ago with the kids. That
Speaker 2: is still a really funny movie. He's so cool in it,
Speaker 2: just funny and cool. Yeah, Bill Murray be great. But
Speaker 2: if you are a big Caddy Shack fan, there is
Speaker 2: an entire movie. Adam Hills told me about it a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Caddy Shack The Making of a
Speaker 2: Hollywood Cinderella Story is a brilliant book about Hollywood and
Speaker 2: comedians and what they're really like, including the strange rivalry
Speaker 2: they hated each other, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. Chevy
Speaker 2: Chevy was hugely jealous Bill Murray hues. Yes, fascinating reading
Speaker 2: about it all. Anyway, Yeah, Caddy chat was out there,
Speaker 2: as was this Here's Johnny, amazing movie from Jack Nicholson
Speaker 2: and Patsy. You remember this, yeah, but it was the
Speaker 2: year off who shot Jr? Yeah, messive And also this
Speaker 2: was such a long time ago, nineteen eighty This is
Speaker 2: when TV could keep a secret. Now there's all these spoilers,
Speaker 2: deliberate spoilers, pr press releases. They kept this quiet from
Speaker 2: the entire world. Three hundred and fifty million TV sets
Speaker 2: washed that episode of when jr.
Speaker 5: Was shot.
Speaker 2: They didn't reveal the answer for two hundred and forty
Speaker 2: three days. None had any idea. I'm an interview in
Speaker 2: Larry Hagman years and years ago. He told me he
Speaker 2: was offered a million dollars by a really rich guy.
Speaker 2: Just a talent, just a talent, not even like make
Speaker 2: it public, just to Tellig so he could tell his wife.
Speaker 2: It was such a mega fan. It became such a
Speaker 2: big thing. I didn't know until it looking up yesterday.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and forty three days. No one had any
Speaker 2: ideas nowadays, you wouldn't keep that quiet. Everyone would have
Speaker 2: a theory. There'd be something leaked online, wouldn't they There
Speaker 2: was a Hues TV show. Did you watch it with
Speaker 2: mum or dad? I watched you with my mum every weekday.
Speaker 3: You can compare notes with girlfriends at school.
Speaker 2: The other thing was this came into the world.

Speaker 2: last show for our producer Brad. Now you would have
Speaker 2: heard producer he's looking up now.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Normally he's listened to various other podcasts during the show.
Speaker 5: Is he talking about me?
Speaker 7: What does he do?
Speaker 2: Another one of those talking bits you've often heard Brad
Speaker 2: talked about very fondly on the show. He is a mindy.
Speaker 2: He's been in radio for years. Yesterday he would showing
Speaker 2: me some of his childhood photos and I said, I
Speaker 2: recognize her as an Amelia Hour. He went to school
Speaker 2: with Amelia Airheart. He's been around for years, okay, and
Speaker 2: he's been working on the show for two years. And
Speaker 2: we're going to miss Brad hugely. He is in my mind,
Speaker 2: he is probably the founding father of the show. Whatever
Speaker 2: the show is. Without Brad, no show, I think I
Speaker 2: actually would have bailed and gone back to the UK.
Speaker 2: Brad has been amazing. What's also been amazing about Brad
Speaker 2: are some of the ideas he's kicked our way. And
Speaker 2: Jack and I used to keep a secret list, a
Speaker 2: secret list of some of Brad's ideas that I would
Speaker 2: go yeah, and then go put it on the list,
Speaker 2: just to give you some idea of his form. Once
Speaker 2: there was a lovely letter I got from a listener
Speaker 2: who wants to surprise her son. Could we try and
Speaker 2: track down the bomber's mascot? Do you remember this episode?
Speaker 2: Brad got a whole of him called it in all
Speaker 2: his contacts. He's been in radio for years. We get
Speaker 2: the mascot on the studio, he gets changed. The boy
Speaker 2: comes in. He doesn't know anything about it. He's hiding
Speaker 2: behind the sheet the bomber's mascot. Brad goes to me
Speaker 2: with a minute left on the song. By the way,
Speaker 2: contractually he can't talk on the show, walks out.
Speaker 5: The door, shuts something. What are we going to do
Speaker 5: with him.
Speaker 2: Not allowed to talk?
Speaker 5: What are we going to do with this thing?
Speaker 2: Moom We've just left in the studio a minute left
Speaker 2: in us so just breezed out like it was no
Speaker 2: biggie and only you went over and wish and said
Speaker 2: can you not talk about and he actually whispered to
Speaker 2: us like somehow he control So we had to do
Speaker 2: basically my match on the radio for you.
Speaker 5: The mosquito is nodding. He's here, Yes, take our word
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 2: He's really here right now, Jack, What are some of
Speaker 2: the wonderful ideas? But we'll do a top five Melbourne's
Speaker 2: worst team. Take that to his next show. You wait
Speaker 2: the next couple of months. We're here that on a
Speaker 2: on a station. Guarante him and be doing it.
Speaker 5: That wasn't just a phone in for a week competition.
Speaker 2: I was a competition involving social media, multi platform so
Speaker 2: we could all see Melbourne's worst teeth, photos.
Speaker 5: Of them, weird place hair grows.
Speaker 2: Yeah again, I didn't want to ask any more details.
Speaker 5: The umpire, Remember the umpire sketch. He kept pitching to
Speaker 5: you and change crawflins, where all I've got written down
Speaker 5: is umpire sketch crawf and Christian keep getting something wrong,
Speaker 5: but the umpire and he gets Christian in trouble.
Speaker 2: Why did we do that? Why didn't we do that?
Speaker 5: One that's very close to all our hearts. We reference
Speaker 5: it so often on air off air is the swearing parrot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just said to me one day we were
Speaker 2: talking about pets that could do stuff, so that it
Speaker 2: would be greatf you could find out if her listeners
Speaker 2: and pets have got any amazing skills. Do you want
Speaker 2: the swearing parrot? He said, It was like like a
Speaker 2: thing I might know about it. I've got a number
Speaker 2: of a guy who's got swearing, so we can't have
Speaker 2: a mascot speak, but we cannot swell, which are legan
Speaker 2: on the radio anyway, But.
Speaker 5: We've always had that as a break glass and carry emergency.
Speaker 2: You ever tune in one day, go listen, come up
Speaker 2: five minutes time the swearing Barrett. No that we've got nothing.
Speaker 2: We've run out of material.
Speaker 5: And this is this is a personal favorite of ours
Speaker 5: because you just wonder how how many calls would we
Speaker 5: really get for this idea? A phone in topic? Are
Speaker 5: you listening to us live from a hot air balloon
Speaker 5: on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 8: L nine?
Speaker 2: Here we would have ten lines going with that.
Speaker 5: All over Melbourn.
Speaker 2: They're all listening to the show, because that's what you do.
Speaker 2: If you're going out there, you take a little transistor
Speaker 2: radio with you. But the one we're going to actually
Speaker 2: do now, we're going to, you know, to be fair,
Speaker 2: we're going to do one of Brad's ideas here and
Speaker 2: one which I always think about whenever it rains. I
Speaker 2: always think of this idea. There's been some flooding run
Speaker 2: about two years ago in Melbourne and I merely mentioned
Speaker 2: it and Brad came flying in during the outbreak. I
Speaker 2: went phone or idea, what got wet? What got wet?
Speaker 2: That's it. So you know what we've said no too
Speaker 2: many times. I think today is the day of saying
Speaker 2: yes to producer Brad. So we're going to try this now, listeners.
Speaker 2: This is all we knew about the idea is simply
Speaker 2: what got wet?
Speaker 5: It could be there was rain here in Melbourne in
Speaker 5: the last twenty four hours. It could be in the
Speaker 5: last twenty four hours, but it could be years ago story.
Speaker 2: From the nineties where something got wet.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 5: Let's give it a go. What got wet?
Speaker 2: This has come for the mind of our producer Brad.
Speaker 2: He's been on the show since the early early days
Speaker 2: and he's leaving us today and he's pitched lots of
Speaker 2: ideas and one that was what got wet? And we
Speaker 2: said naw, And so we're saying yes now to what
Speaker 2: got wet? That's the phone in this morning. You make
Speaker 2: of that whatever he wants. We had no more details
Speaker 2: from his mind. Nine four three. It's a kind of
Speaker 2: leaving present to Brad Tony come on.
Speaker 9: Him, good morning. I love the segment title beds to genius,
Speaker 9: isn't he.
Speaker 2: You're the first ever call roll what got wet on
Speaker 2: my plast?
Speaker 10: I had broken armored plaster from my from my palm
Speaker 10: to my shoulder, and the first time I tried to
Speaker 10: shower on my own, I got it wet and had
Speaker 10: to have it readone again.
Speaker 2: No, I bet so many people have done this one.
Speaker 2: Can't you meant to put like a carrier bag around it,
Speaker 2: tape it up and go in.
Speaker 10: Well that's what I tried to do.
Speaker 2: But then the tape cut got wet and came away,
Speaker 2: and then the bag was filling up with the water
Speaker 2: before realized. And this actually what got wet. It's two things.
Speaker 2: The bag got wet, the tape got wet, and the
Speaker 2: plaster got wet.
Speaker 5: Yep, it's a.

Speaker 2: the code name. Great code name. By the way, play
Speaker 2: this one note to self. You tried coming up with

Speaker 2: just went I said to someone on the team, I said,
Speaker 2: use the code word, and they stared at me about
Speaker 2: five minutes. When to play this one?
Speaker 5: You could use the code word Brad's secret. He wouldn't
Speaker 5: have found it.
Speaker 2: There's a song we've played on the show over the
Speaker 2: last twelve months. I guess it's kind of like an
Speaker 2: unofficial show anthem. I think it sums up if you
Speaker 2: enjoy the show, then Brad producer. Brad has been a
Speaker 2: massive part of putting that show together with definitely three
Speaker 2: of us, and there are two other young producers well
Speaker 2: who who he has mentored as well, Collect and Rio
Speaker 2: on the show he has personally sort of mentaled then
Speaker 2: and actually, despite me being in radio a long time,
Speaker 2: Pats as well, he has mentored us as well. And
Speaker 2: he and the great thing about working with someone like
Speaker 2: Brad as well is for all of us and maybe
Speaker 2: you've worked with someone like this as well. Sometimes you
Speaker 2: meet someone and you look for someone else. He's actually
Speaker 2: become a friend of ours, isn't he. Definitely, Yeah, Brad,
Speaker 2: you said that you weren't sure. Remember we rehearsed this bit. Okay,
Speaker 2: but producer, Brad, we are going to miss you so much.
Speaker 2: You have given this show and us personally so much,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna let Actually the last words of today's
Speaker 2: show will be actually Brad, because he's seriously working the
Speaker 2: radio a long time, and he actually emailed me. I
Speaker 2: found your email last night that he sent me when
Speaker 2: we were looking for a new producer, and he contented
Speaker 2: me out the blue, and thank god you did. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know where we'd all be
Speaker 2: without you, Brad. So the last word today will be
Speaker 2: from producer Brad.
Speaker 5: I just want to say thank you to everyone.
Speaker 2: We made great radio, but more importantly, I make great friends.
