Speaker 5: Awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got communal table tennis tables put in Cobourg
Speaker 3: sousing where under the station. You know how they raised
Speaker 3: the rail line up above our houses under the station.
Speaker 3: They put all these public amedis.
Speaker 4: About two years ago you read to man the street
Speaker 4: you wrote a protest song. The way that the man
Speaker 4: buys you is with a free table tennis. Oh oh wow,
Speaker 4: take that barricade down. It's irresponsible.
Speaker 3: I'd take back what I said about that.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 3: I was at the skyrail, but now on pro skyrail
Speaker 3: because of all the public ammenities underneath.
Speaker 4: Dog the sis need to do another monorail episode.
Speaker 3: But ping Pong is the main one, and we got out.
Speaker 4: We ordered ping pong. It's the future. Get in now, kids,
Speaker 4: Get in now, ping pong.
Speaker 3: We ordered our bats last Monday and we have.
Speaker 4: We've ordered them.
Speaker 2: You've got to supply your own.
Speaker 4: You got to bring your own back on COVID friendly,
Speaker 4: bring your own ball. You can't just leave bats hanging around.
Speaker 4: Ping pong properly, guys, that's what I say. Three peaks,
Speaker 4: ping pong properly.
Speaker 3: It's in sound. Bats arrived last week. We've played every day.
Speaker 4: O course, I bet, and who's who's better?
Speaker 3: The anchor had a table to this table as a
Speaker 3: kid growing up, so she's naturally got more skills than me.
Speaker 5: Oh that's got it, just got.
Speaker 4: Her, it does.
Speaker 3: But because she's pregnant and she's getting heavier and heavier
Speaker 3: every day.
Speaker 4: Man as well, because she's pregnant, the fourhands are a
Speaker 4: bit off.
Speaker 3: She's getting slower, and.
Speaker 5: There's two of you in there, another ace, another ace.
Speaker 3: I think by the end of the pregnancy, I'll be
Speaker 3: winning more regularly because at the moment I'm getting handed
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 4: Wow. And other people down the plane as well. That
Speaker 4: also been sot that also got brought out by the
Speaker 4: Man No. One of the table tennis sets called the
Speaker 4: Man owns you enjoy your game.
Speaker 3: I hate when we see other people down there because
Speaker 3: I don't want other people to watch. So I wait
Speaker 3: until you know what we've been doing keeping our alarm
Speaker 3: clock for five am and going out at six in
Speaker 3: the morning.
Speaker 4: What all right? Do you know what already? You're spoiling me.
Speaker 4: I was worried that the in the week we've had off,
Speaker 4: we can't do a lot. We might be a little
Speaker 4: bit lighting material. Today he's been keeping that alarm going.
Speaker 4: I smashed mine seven days ago.
Speaker 6: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Yester Evening, Jack Post sent me an email just a
Speaker 4: couple of things you know he was thinking about, maybe
Speaker 4: worth talking about from him on the show.
Speaker 5: One of them.
Speaker 4: Simply was the subject heading was my hot water keeps
Speaker 4: turning off. Our whole water keeps turning off, and it's
Speaker 4: getting more frequent. I remember looking at that and almost
Speaker 4: wanted to just shut the laptop and cry and sob
Speaker 4: why not seven days off? And this is the hot materials? Hey,
Speaker 4: do it feels like I'm on to a landlord. Hot
Speaker 4: water keeps turning off seven o'clock, so it's the big
Speaker 4: one out of goals, virtue hot water.
Speaker 5: What is the temperature of Jack's water?
Speaker 4: Guess right, wim big buddy cash, Now you tell me
Speaker 4: you've kept a five am five am alarm call normally
Speaker 4: reserved for this show. Your job. Your new table tennis
Speaker 4: bats please rewind. They've got new table tennis community table
Speaker 4: tennis tabletops.
Speaker 3: They've put them in Coburg and Brunswick. Anybody can go
Speaker 3: to them, but you have to have your own bats
Speaker 3: and ball. The morning is actually the best time to
Speaker 3: play because less chance that other people are there. The
Speaker 3: sun is coming up and it's beautiful in the morning.
Speaker 3: It's hitting underneath.
Speaker 5: I love a sunrise when it HiT's ping pong.
Speaker 3: Oh, realistically, six thirty, we've been out there. The other
Speaker 3: thing that's really important, really important.
Speaker 4: He's got another one for us. Perhaps it's anyone writ
Speaker 4: and he's down. If it was make he's come down
Speaker 4: from the mountain in which somethings to be preserved on
Speaker 4: a tablet?
Speaker 5: What is it? Moses?
Speaker 3: Anyone who's played table tennis outside would know that.
Speaker 5: They know you all know, guys, they're in the know.
Speaker 3: As soon as there's wind, it makes it very difficult
Speaker 3: to play because the ball goes anywhere.
Speaker 5: It's the enemy of ping pong.
Speaker 3: So getting up early the wind is low in the morning.
Speaker 5: I don't know why that sounds, but the sun's coming.
Speaker 3: Up, the sun's coming up, there's no wind. Best time
Speaker 3: of day to play because if you're waiting for the afternoon,
Speaker 3: the trees could be windy. That's a sign.
Speaker 4: And that's why they have those Olympic tournaments in a
Speaker 4: Winfrey shielding unit, don't they.
Speaker 3: I Actually, you've been spending a lot of my time
Speaker 3: over the last week standing at the shutters, looking at
Speaker 3: at the trees moving because if they're not moving, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a great time to play there.
Speaker 4: Now, if you were seventy nine, that's a good day.
Speaker 4: That's the highlight of your day. You in your thirties
Speaker 4: would mean looking at the trees like, come on, go
Speaker 4: grab the bats.
Speaker 3: As soon as the trees are still, it means it's
Speaker 3: good weather for table tennis and you should get out.
Speaker 5: There looking through the shutters. Okay, this is a dream condition.
Speaker 5: Is it north northwest? Northwest?
Speaker 4: You want no wind breaking or quicker?
Speaker 3: Then the other thing, the other problem is if other
Speaker 3: people are on the tables. It's actually great that you
Speaker 3: have to bring your own bats, because it discourages people
Speaker 3: from playing because not everybody has their own bats.
Speaker 4: I got it, outsiders.
Speaker 3: What happened is we were playing table tennis and some
Speaker 3: kids rode rode up on their bikes, devastating and they
Speaker 3: were sort of circling around us and then started asking
Speaker 3: like how long?
Speaker 4: This an eighties movie?
Speaker 5: I think this is the plot to The Lost Boy?
Speaker 4: Did someone get switch?
Speaker 5: Played? You cycle around someone menacingly?
Speaker 3: They gave me a double wedgie. They started saying, hey,
Speaker 3: when are you gonna when you're gonna leave, can we play?
Speaker 3: So we said, all right, we have one more set,
Speaker 3: and it's it's really not great.
Speaker 4: Comeback.
Speaker 5: By the way, what have burn? That must have get
Speaker 5: those kids peddling?
Speaker 3: Anyway, So we played out and then we finished and
Speaker 3: walked away. And then as we were walking away, I
Speaker 3: said to be wait, wait on a second, watch them
Speaker 3: for a little bit. I don't think they have bats,
Speaker 3: And they did it. They just had a tennis ball
Speaker 3: and they were using their hands to hit back and forth.
Speaker 5: Over the Trea table tennis.
Speaker 3: That should be against the rules. Well, it is against
Speaker 3: the rules because you don't have the bats, you shouldn't
Speaker 3: be able to use the table. They're not even playing.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you've turned into Neil Mitchell's Find me happened?
Speaker 6: They say what we resist persist the Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 4: Say about your new obsession in table tennis and your
Speaker 4: community table tennis. I feel sorry for the dog. I
Speaker 4: take it.
Speaker 5: Luna can't come out.
Speaker 3: They can then, because she eat the ball we bought
Speaker 3: it the first time. Only come because anytime you hit
Speaker 3: it off the table chase she's there and she chooses
Speaker 3: in her mouth she must.
Speaker 4: Be gutted because she'll see you getting ready to go
Speaker 4: out to the park and suddenly you like shut the
Speaker 4: door on her face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been hard for her, but she compromises the
Speaker 3: balls come.
Speaker 4: I just turned a quick look on Google, right, and
Speaker 4: I found an article seven most Fascinating Facts about table tennis.
Speaker 5: Right. Did you know?
Speaker 4: By the way, I didn't know this. It's the most
Speaker 4: popular indoor sport in the world.
Speaker 3: Oh really?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay? And there are sixteen thousand different varieties of rubbers
Speaker 4: for those bats.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: Well, you know that the skins that you have on
Speaker 4: your backs you can have different types and grades, can
Speaker 4: you yeah? Oh yeah, yeah. Also, I didn't know there
Speaker 4: was sixteen thousand. And it was originally called whiff whaff
Speaker 4: when it was invented in the eighteen eighties in England.
Speaker 4: I think it was invented originally played in a library
Speaker 4: when they would use a table and books, and the
Speaker 4: books made the name of with it sort of made
Speaker 4: a name like with whaff as they were hitting the balls,
Speaker 4: and I think that's why it was called originally with whaff.
Speaker 3: Is that what it said or is that what you
Speaker 3: just aid?
Speaker 4: The pub told me that one. I was just chucking
Speaker 4: in because the the fascinating facts was done as anything. Patsy,
Speaker 4: what it was the single highlight for you in your
Speaker 4: week's break mate? What did you enjoy doing?
Speaker 2: We click and collected some gravity chairs. If you're not
Speaker 2: aware what gravity chairs are, they're like the new butte
Speaker 2: sort of banana lounges outdoor chairs that are reclining outdoor chair.
Speaker 4: You see they call gravity chairs, but colaners have been
Speaker 4: around since they.
Speaker 3: Think of an outdoor chairs, these aren't.
Speaker 4: These are its gravity.
Speaker 3: Chair unless you're actually hovering off the.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's like back to the future. They can get
Speaker 4: the trainers that made us offer a gravity chair.
Speaker 2: We cracked them out at Warriby South Beach yesterday. So
Speaker 2: they're like the old banana lounge. But remember the banana
Speaker 2: lounges in the eighties were sort of low to the ground.
Speaker 2: These are like a normal outdoor chair and they have
Speaker 2: like a foot so you can go clock and put
Speaker 2: your legs up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got two of those.
Speaker 4: Those real sort of there terrifying anytime I open them
Speaker 4: or put them away, You're terrified you're gonna lose fingers
Speaker 4: because you only managine a Concertina up about half the
Speaker 4: way and you think, oh, there's a kind of fit
Speaker 4: in the car, but it won't.
Speaker 5: It's like it's teasing you going. You know, you've got
Speaker 5: to come back to me and.
Speaker 4: Squish up like and any day you survive. We don't
Speaker 4: get your fingers sliced up closing those things. But perhaps
Speaker 4: we've got there's some old cheap thing. I think like
Speaker 4: sixty bucks. Each's got a foot rest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not much and you've got three set them right.
Speaker 4: I'm not defining gravity, oh not een on musk leaving
Speaker 4: the Earth stratosphere.
Speaker 5: I'm just reclining.
Speaker 3: Also, I think people are enjoying the banana lounge because
Speaker 3: it gets you close to the sand and it gets
Speaker 3: you in a relaxed position.
Speaker 2: No, like a bit of wind under me.
Speaker 3: You've got like a barber's chair down at the beach.
Speaker 2: Jack mine was nearly flat yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was brilliant. Now, son, people are going to mistake
Speaker 3: you for the lifeguard?
Speaker 4: Are they getting haircuts?
Speaker 6: Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 4: Jackie Boys just had a look on Google. Puts at
Speaker 4: your anti gravity chairs. They're recliners. And tell you what though,
Speaker 4: isn't the world a better place when you're in a recliner.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I love a recliners. Cheap, the cheaper the better.
Speaker 4: Those plastic ones that creak a bit as you out
Speaker 4: and we're going to break this thing like those.
Speaker 3: I love those, but it does. You're exactly right about
Speaker 3: the collapsible ones. They just worry me about terrifying, like
Speaker 3: packing it.
Speaker 5: Up, absolutely terrified.
Speaker 3: Is it coming in some sort of bag pat the
Speaker 3: ones that you have to the camping chairs that you
Speaker 3: have to get back inside the bag in the first place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same with whenever we've been camping. We're
Speaker 4: not camping people, so we always have to borrow stuff,
Speaker 4: right and that when you've got to fold that tent
Speaker 4: up that was in that little backpack, you're like, this
Speaker 4: doesn't this just like in that movie Apollo Third Team
Speaker 4: where he goes, you know, he chucks all that stub
Speaker 4: and he goes make it work. Nuts Hanks is up
Speaker 4: there with Kevin Bacon.
Speaker 3: I had the worst tent once that was advertised itself
Speaker 3: as no poles. It's just you just folded up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's so easy to get up. You pull it out
Speaker 3: and it's like.
Speaker 4: It's like a jackular bott and You're like, surely I
Speaker 4: press a button. Then it reverses that at the end
Speaker 4: of it, like your hoover, you know, where you put
Speaker 4: the foot on that thing and it sucks the corder.
Speaker 3: A special maneuver you have to do to get it
Speaker 3: back in the bag is impossible. We ended up just
Speaker 3: pushing almost a fully made tent into the suit.
Speaker 4: Like a sausage where you're trying to thumb the meat
Speaker 4: into the skin.
Speaker 5: Again, it's awful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this thing, it said, all we need to do
Speaker 4: is fold it a bean c And then when anything
Speaker 4: says simple.
Speaker 5: Easy steps, you're like this the opposite.
Speaker 4: And so at one point my wife was lying on me.
Speaker 4: It's standing up like I was trying to do some
Speaker 4: jiu jitsu standing it lego like twister to move something
Speaker 4: in exactly nineteen point nine degrees southwesterly. And then my
Speaker 4: wife lost to bants one point and it all just
Speaker 4: popped up again. We're trying to fold you away.
Speaker 3: You damn ten. I think you've got the same one
Speaker 3: as well, because the instructions actually start with the tent
Speaker 3: fully made. Yeah, he's just picking up the side and sat.
Speaker 4: YouTube video and in the end, I said, how much
Speaker 4: was this. Should we just buy them a new one
Speaker 4: and burn it.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 5: Of the last couple of Mondays. We've been doing these.
Speaker 4: They're called mash ups, where you take two completely different
Speaker 4: songs from two very wildly different genres and then put
Speaker 4: them together, sometimes even different decades, and you create a
Speaker 4: new song like the one We laughed and when We
Speaker 4: Last Died, This Amy Winehouse Rehab, and then that when
Speaker 4: Whams Wake me Up, you have this wake me up
Speaker 4: before you rehab. This is great works we have now
Speaker 4: not all of them sound as good as this. You've
Speaker 4: got some brand new ones that's going through them.

Speaker 4: song We just got out of the shower. You're putting
Speaker 4: on your clothes. You've got some after shave, you're shaving this.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just me, but that's the way a gentleman
Speaker 4: like me and English gentleman likes to do it Earth,
Speaker 4: Wind and fire will meet the food fighters.
Speaker 5: What it's just the suddenly paid the next morning when
Speaker 5: you learn to walk together, putting together, you've got this?

Speaker 4: the radio like a dog waiting for its master return up.

Speaker 4: And go and do those videos out there with the
Speaker 4: Matt's a home, Shuggy, don't just show that up on
Speaker 4: the finish line giving away the big prize. The moment
Speaker 4: we're out of here, he must have been going into
Speaker 4: the boss going on, Yeah, got to wait seven days,
Speaker 4: Let Huggy do it. I've been here, you know, thirty
Speaker 4: years coming up, man, and boy, I was looking forward

Speaker 3: Phil Collins Best of CD. And now he's jumped up
Speaker 3: to the four million dollar home.
Speaker 4: That was too much. That's too much. Come on now
Speaker 4: you can deal with him when he comes in for
Speaker 4: his Monday morning Brisbane Lines Updated news. Everybody, we come
Speaker 4: back with good news. We're all, every single one of
Speaker 4: us here in this city. We are all now joint
Speaker 4: world record holders. Baby see Argentina losers. That's see how
Speaker 4: many days in lockdown?
Speaker 2: Two one hundred and forty six says of midnight.
Speaker 4: As of this midnight or midnight we just had that.
Speaker 4: We just had two hundred and forty six days.
Speaker 3: And should we retire now?
Speaker 4: Not out only if only there's people stiff? Is this
Speaker 4: the month? Is this the month October? Is it? Dare
Speaker 4: we believe? Dare we dream? Is it? Three weeks time?
Speaker 3: I thought it? Oh, what's November five?
Speaker 2: That's well, that is out of our out of lockdown
Speaker 2: twenty six. They ease a few more restrictions, so we
Speaker 2: just dip our tone.
Speaker 4: Ten of us picnics together. Tell them what these picnics
Speaker 4: are really popular? Aren't they anyone else? See the influx
Speaker 4: in picnics everywhere? Who knew that we really really love
Speaker 4: a good old picnic.
Speaker 3: We were desperate for a picnic.
Speaker 4: And also some people bring a blanket. Most people just
Speaker 4: bring booze. There's no food. See some people with like
Speaker 4: sort of charcoutery boards and stuff like that. Really going
Speaker 4: towards the nod towards it is actually at least pretend
Speaker 4: it's a picnic.
Speaker 5: Rather it's the booze up in a Parkay.
Speaker 3: I never thought. Remember your girls bought you as a
Speaker 3: gift that picnic basket set, but they would never go
Speaker 3: on a picnic with you, surely now as a pig.
Speaker 3: So the only thing we can do you've used the
Speaker 3: picnic basket.
Speaker 4: No, I feel too English being seen. I've got one
Speaker 4: of those call bags. I can't open up a wicker basket.
Speaker 4: Frilling it had free. I don't mind the frills, it's
Speaker 4: the wicker basket. I can't just walk along a beach
Speaker 4: and start opening up a wicker basket.
Speaker 5: It's not the same.
Speaker 4: It's got all the plates are sort of in place,
Speaker 4: you know, one those where they've got straps, and it
Speaker 4: looks it's too organized, it's too English.
Speaker 5: And then I start going.
Speaker 4: Hey, rather do you see the d's when it weekend?
Speaker 4: They got it up there, Oh sixty years drought. I've
Speaker 4: been a fan for thirty six months. Would you like
Speaker 4: some of my manchaga and quints?
Speaker 5: I can't do that, Jock fair enough. This is too
Speaker 5: it's too English.
Speaker 4: It's achingly English, isn't it a wicker hamper pic nic set?
Speaker 4: So there are other world records now that we do.
Speaker 4: Actually we are the most lockdown city in the world.
Speaker 4: There are other world records that you might not know
Speaker 4: that Melbourne holds. Did you know that Melbourne also hosts
Speaker 4: the world record for the largest gathering of tall people?
Speaker 5: This screams of a radio prank.
Speaker 4: This is Hamish Nandy, you guys back in two thousand
Speaker 4: and nine. This is a whiff I've never heard of
Speaker 4: the gathering is aware. We all smell out of a
Speaker 4: breakfast show running out of it ears towards the end
Speaker 4: of the year.
Speaker 3: I did work at Fox when they did the largest
Speaker 3: gathering of redheaded people.
Speaker 4: And that is what year and decade was that? Red
Speaker 4: headed people? What are you rounding them up to do?
Speaker 4: Depete Nott't taking away somewhere to a camp. No more
Speaker 4: of fast story? And then what did you do to them?
Speaker 4: You're just following orders? Did you listen to his squeaky voice,
Speaker 4: We're just following orders. Let's move on. Most people doing
Speaker 4: chest pumps and fat all of these. And I get
Speaker 4: to this one fastest one hundred meters by a pantomime horse.

Speaker 4: and come on, come on, I've reinvented the wheel good time.

Speaker 4: It's like a museum of a sad.
Speaker 5: Old toy story thing.

Speaker 4: no one to play it.
Speaker 3: So did you at least play in your own because it.

Speaker 3: excel stations, go hey, we're getting low. Can someone bring

Speaker 4: appeared on TV. So that's how powerfully is he just
Speaker 4: took control of the BBC one and said, you don't
Speaker 4: need to worry about this.
Speaker 5: It's a media storm. So I'm all right, what is
Speaker 5: the guy Johns?

Speaker 3: your backyard.
Speaker 4: Seven hours and thirty five minutes right here in Melbourne,
Speaker 4: the longest ever game.
Speaker 5: I don't know. That can't be a continuous game.
Speaker 3: It must be continuous. It's too easy to be.
Speaker 4: You can't keep playing it because it just goes up.
Speaker 4: One worthy the other weren't there. It's not the world's
Speaker 4: longest rally where they're both so evenly matched. It was
Speaker 4: Nadal and Federer.
Speaker 3: It must be a rally because else we could beat
Speaker 3: it today by just going eight hours.
Speaker 4: Producers, can we look at There's no way it's a rally.
Speaker 4: I've seen how hard it is to get it going,
Speaker 4: keep it going for like ten seconds. But the world

Speaker 4: people flocked to South Beach in Berth to break the
Speaker 4: work all for the world's largest skinny dip.
Speaker 5: Together.
Speaker 4: This is one too proud of Australia. Most swords swallowed
Speaker 4: underwater because obviously maybe the guy saw the ones how
Speaker 4: many swords there are above land and thought I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go one better. I'm gonna be underwater. Shane verticom as
Speaker 4: the space Cowboy, Shane holding from Byron Bay, swallowed four
Speaker 4: swords as weights held him underwater in the deep diving pool.
Speaker 4: Did they closed the pool? Although where people have their
Speaker 4: normal like water ropes doing down there, you can't bring
Speaker 4: you can't bring swords into a pool. Is he even
Speaker 4: held down by weight? But this is the really big one.
Speaker 4: You know, as the world looks to Australian things sometimes
Speaker 4: that what has gone on over there? This is something
Speaker 4: proud of Actually largest simultaneous car tire burnouts.
Speaker 5: Why is it more of this man?
Speaker 4: Why is it there a giant tie somewhere marking this
Speaker 4: for future generations. Australia holds the record for the world's
Speaker 4: largest largest simultaneous car type bird out of course it
Speaker 4: does a total of one hundred and twenty six vehicles
Speaker 4: destroyed their tires for the record. In Canberra, the home
Speaker 4: of our home of democracy and also world rerecord, told
Speaker 4: us fort burnouts.
Speaker 6: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 5: Over a lot of wheat break we had.
Speaker 4: Then I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens right, and
Speaker 4: I've been there once before. I think about the first
Speaker 4: year that we moved here, and it's beautiful, right. And
Speaker 4: then because we had some time off and we could
Speaker 4: move out a bit more and within fifteen k I
Speaker 4: saw that it was within my fifteen k. So I
Speaker 4: went one day by myself for a couple of hours.
Speaker 4: There's been six hours in there. It's reading a book.
Speaker 4: I had lunch in there. If you if you can
Speaker 4: go to it, right, it is beautiful, you are. That
Speaker 4: is a hidden gem of Melbourne. Right, they're all botanical guides.
Speaker 4: It's amazing in there, right. And when I parked out,
Speaker 4: I saw the name of the road. It's the main
Speaker 4: road apart are right, And I was just looking. I
Speaker 4: was starving, right, I was looking for something to eat
Speaker 4: and I found You know, these days people are just
Speaker 4: blessed them. They're trying to just make money at the moment.
Speaker 4: And so what would have been a bustling restaurant or
Speaker 4: a cafe. It's a kind of like doorway or window,
Speaker 4: isn't it with a head you know, and they're pivoting.
Speaker 4: Was still pivoting this year to try and make some money.
Speaker 4: There was a there was a there was a lady
Speaker 4: in just a doorway right with a table a till,
Speaker 4: and she was selling food and so I'm starving. I
Speaker 4: saw that there was a sausage roll there, and so
Speaker 4: I said, oh, are they nice? As she goes yes,
Speaker 4: She sort of looked at me.
Speaker 5: Like what what am I going to say?
Speaker 4: No, it's dogged her ten bucks. She went, yeah, they are,
Speaker 4: They're my sausage roll. So I went, all right, what's
Speaker 4: your name?
Speaker 5: Is her name?
Speaker 4: She said, my name's Hidi, And I said I can
Speaker 4: have some ketch up with that as well. She went,
Speaker 4: I make my own reddish and it wasn't like one
Speaker 4: of those. Would you like some? And I went, I'll
Speaker 4: have that then as well, and so I ate it
Speaker 4: and it was that the greatest sausage role I've ever had.
Speaker 4: It was amazing. Right, it's a one seven nine to
Speaker 4: Main Road. If you ever can go down the Botanical guys,
Speaker 4: go and get a sausage roll there.
Speaker 3: Oh, usually some sometimes people give the name of the restaurant.
Speaker 3: I couldn't find a chat decription of where you can
Speaker 3: find it.
Speaker 4: One seven nine. That's all I know about it. It
Speaker 4: mayn't be called one seven nine mate. It's South Yarrett.
Speaker 4: It may be called one seven nine. Make sure you
Speaker 4: get Heidie's Reddish as well with that sausage roll. Anyway,
Speaker 4: spending a lot of time. Three days at my seven
Speaker 4: days off, I spent in the orbitterny.
Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like you're just trying to avoid your family.
Speaker 4: No No, I took my wife there and we had
Speaker 4: a lovely time as well. But as I was wandering around,
Speaker 4: you got trees all over the world, sometime are like
Speaker 4: two hundred years old or one hundred and fifty years old.
Speaker 4: There's one part by the Duke of York in nineteen
Speaker 4: oh four, and some of them made me actually quite
Speaker 4: homesick because there was a couple of big British oaks
Speaker 4: there that you know you grow up with in England.
Speaker 4: They're everywhere, and I was always wandering around. I saw
Speaker 4: there are these park benches everywhere, and you've got all
Speaker 4: kinds of people sat on them having a nice time
Speaker 4: enjoying these stunning views all around the gardens.
Speaker 5: And I was sat on them.
Speaker 4: I always do you do this when you sit on
Speaker 4: a free bench, it's dedicated by somebody.
Speaker 3: Usually a plaque.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I always have a read of it, just
Speaker 4: to go, you know, you see how what kind of
Speaker 4: life they had, how long they were live or sometimes
Speaker 4: it's two people, sometimes a couple. And as I was
Speaker 4: on the benches, as I spent quite a lot of
Speaker 4: time on the right, I was actually wondering about who
Speaker 4: some of these people are. And I took a photo
Speaker 4: of one of them I was sat on yesterday. It
Speaker 4: was a memory of Dr Newman Pincus, who lived from
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty two to two thousand and three, and Lee Pinkers,
Speaker 4: who lived from nineteen twenty seven to twenty nineteen. So
Speaker 4: whoever the lean Pinkers was, and I guess maybe his wife,
Speaker 4: And then the inscription said together in their beloved botanical guards.
Speaker 5: I was thinking, Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: There must have been couples who've been on dates here
Speaker 4: and then got married to their kids there and maybe
Speaker 4: maybe grandkids. It's been there so long. And I was
Speaker 4: thinking these park benches, I've seeing them in England where
Speaker 4: they're dedicated to people. How do they actually.
Speaker 3: What happened to organize that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? How do you get a park bench? Is it
Speaker 4: something in your will? Is it in money? Thing?
Speaker 3: Because twenty nineteen as well means that park bench is
Speaker 3: newly Yes, all the park plark, isn't you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm curious to know.
Speaker 4: Does anyone know of a family member or maybe would
Speaker 4: know someone else, a relative who actually has a bench anywhere,
Speaker 4: not just botanical gods, anywhere. I'm dying to know. You
Speaker 4: see these benches, They're dedicated to people all over the world,
Speaker 4: and if you thought about, I know there must be
Speaker 4: one hundreds. They're everywhere in the botanical guns, each one
Speaker 4: of them, whether it's one person. There was a guy
Speaker 4: from nineteen nineteen fifteen is Born who died in two thousand,
Speaker 4: Robbie Robertson. I've got no idea about this guy. I
Speaker 4: was like, what kind of life? What did he do
Speaker 4: with his time on earth? And so yeah, does anyone
Speaker 4: know anything? How do you go about getting a park
Speaker 4: bench dedicated to yourself or your wife, or to your
Speaker 4: mum or dad.
Speaker 6: I'd love to know, well, Christian no connell show podcasts.
Speaker 4: You know park benches or even just benches wherever they
Speaker 4: are all over the world, they're often dedicated to somebody.
Speaker 4: I always have a nose at them, and yesterday I
Speaker 4: was in the raw Botanical Guards, I was actually looking
Speaker 4: at them. They can how do you go about actually
Speaker 4: getting one of these benches. What a lovely thing to
Speaker 4: leave behind that you can provide a resting point or
Speaker 4: a viewpoint for anyone who's a bit tired so want
Speaker 4: to have a little sit down and chat with somebody.
Speaker 5: Pass it. I bet you and Chris would love that.
Speaker 4: Would you?
Speaker 2: I'd love one of these that was on notting Hill.
Speaker 2: Remember your favorite movie Yep, they had a bench dedicated.
Speaker 3: I think it's.
Speaker 4: Beauty for you and Chris though, who now, why are
Speaker 4: you a week off? You've got those well you were
Speaker 4: sold them. They were all recliners, but you have sold
Speaker 4: them as anti gravity chairs. Maybe two of those, you
Speaker 4: know park bench is only it's great, but it's locked
Speaker 4: in one.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 4: They don't. Recly, maybe the world needs dedicated memorial recliners. Actually,
Speaker 4: maybe there's a thing we just speak to the council.
Speaker 4: Can we do such a thing. I'd tell I find
Speaker 4: any kind of chair or bench auld be a recliner, because.
Speaker 3: Then people would know that your loved ones really really.
Speaker 4: Love this guy really loves it. He loved to just
Speaker 4: sit back and relax.

Speaker 7: They're not.
Speaker 5: They're not doing a bench count every night.
Speaker 3: Whatever bench we build, they'll be out of tail.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 3: So I've gone to other botanical gardens to see how
Speaker 3: they do it. And in Canberra you can still put
Speaker 3: the benches in. They just require a donation. So say
Speaker 3: you want your bench there for ten years with the
Speaker 3: plaque on it, you donate five thousand dollars and they'll
Speaker 3: build you the bench, they'll look after it. And then
Speaker 3: after ten years.
Speaker 5: What if I want one here in Melbourne?
Speaker 3: Well, there the botanical gardens are full. They actually this
Speaker 3: website says we don't we don't want any more benches
Speaker 3: than there.
Speaker 4: You know what we need to do is we need
Speaker 4: you to stop. We need to buite you much money
Speaker 4: talks and they're sitting in My friend, why don't we
Speaker 4: just bump someone off the wait list or take over
Speaker 4: the st give us more money, give it away a surprise.
Speaker 4: Don't wait until you're dead to have your own park
Speaker 4: bench for people to sit on it. Enjoy you, but
Speaker 4: imagine being alive. Put your email on there, or your
Speaker 4: TikTok hand or whatever. People go shout out, thanks for
Speaker 4: the seat. It was great fun.
Speaker 3: According to the camera botanical guards, you don't have to
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be a memorial. It's just a
Speaker 3: celebration bench.
Speaker 4: I don't want my memorial living bench being in camera. Remember,
Speaker 4: has anyone got a nature strip that we can put
Speaker 4: our part bench on and give away and dedicate to
Speaker 4: a listener.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast turing.
Speaker 5: The week off.
Speaker 4: Then the first day I was off, I said to
Speaker 4: my look, I'm here. I'm available only part of anything
Speaker 4: that you know you've kept away from me because I've
Speaker 4: been doing the show.
Speaker 5: She said, great, Actually there is something I knew there was.
Speaker 4: Oh no, when I'm giving something, it's always like some
Speaker 4: horrible mission that she has not wanted to head on
Speaker 4: light and it's sound.
Speaker 5: Like you want it. You're around I superstar hero dad,
Speaker 5: good cop, deal with this one.

Speaker 4: charge of supervising her revision all week straight? With my insides?
Speaker 4: Go a seventeen year old who doesn't want to be
Speaker 4: trapped indoors to then be in charge of marshaling them
Speaker 4: to revise for six to eight hours a day.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I have skills.
Speaker 4: That is, there aren't any parenting books to help me
Speaker 4: about that. I went on to dr Google and this
Speaker 4: typeding revision techniques to see there was any kind of
Speaker 4: new TikTok or an app or anything that it is
Speaker 4: that old school stuff that we used to have.
Speaker 3: To do books.
Speaker 4: Oh those do.
Speaker 5: You remember the revision cards?
Speaker 3: Can you test me flash cards?

Speaker 4: the same thing, joint part of a spin to sell.
Speaker 4: There's Tenney's mind maps, all this kind. She's arising psychology,

Speaker 4: doesn't feel like too homeworking.
Speaker 3: Let's not call it.
Speaker 4: Let's call it fun times nine to or twelve fun
Speaker 4: times or certain color coding. And then then she was like, well,

Speaker 4: I think the mix of the celebrities they've got in there,
Speaker 4: a fantasts. I think Jana Pittman is my favorite one.
Speaker 5: She is amazing.
Speaker 3: I think we both do the same thing. We sit
Speaker 3: there and watch it, and for every challenge they do,
Speaker 3: you ask yourself, how well would I do in a
Speaker 3: similar challenge the monkey bars one where they have essentially
Speaker 3: they've got the ladder strapped to the bottom of a
Speaker 3: chopper which is flying across a lake, and they've got
Speaker 3: to get down on the line a monkey bar across
Speaker 3: then pull themselves up into the other side of helicopter.
Speaker 4: I mean that alone, right, that is extreme. I looked
Speaker 4: to that and thought, that must be so hard because
Speaker 4: your your brain the fair part of it. You're going
Speaker 4: to think whether there's helicopter blades and Middleton, the chief instructor,
Speaker 4: is yelling at you. At one point he sort of
Speaker 4: ripped off someone's grip to let them drop fifty meters
Speaker 4: into a body of water. At the end of it,
Speaker 4: why are they doing this right? So and then so,
Speaker 4: it must be really hard to see.
Speaker 3: I had the opposite reaction to that one. I sat
Speaker 3: on the couch and top banker I would be assuming
Speaker 3: for this monkey bars for me, this is easy.
Speaker 5: How many pullumps can you do?
Speaker 4: They're like that's what I call that, old old fashioned strength,
Speaker 4: and it's like grips.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the thing. I got tested with it
Speaker 3: as we were out with Lunar yesterday and walked past
Speaker 3: a playground. Play grounds are open again and Australia's feeling
Speaker 3: a set of monkey bars and being He goes, well,
Speaker 3: if you say you're so good at it, let's see
Speaker 3: you on the monkey bars. Monkey bars are so much
Speaker 3: harder than I remember as a kid. As a kid
Speaker 3: used to just fly through.
Speaker 4: Do mean, you would hang there like chatting to your
Speaker 4: mom and dad. You could just hang.
Speaker 3: There, hang upside down, do two at a time, like
Speaker 3: I even remember, like letting go and jumping and then
Speaker 3: grabbing on to the next one.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't remember doing that, chart, I've never remember
Speaker 4: doing that. Why are you insert to Salai, don't waste
Speaker 4: time hanging out with.
Speaker 3: Us, Satan is exactly what I imagined as I got
Speaker 3: on this playground yesterday that I would be able to
Speaker 3: do and show.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're going to become a dad
Speaker 4: next year. You can't just shut up and stop working
Speaker 4: out to play crowd as a grown ass man with
Speaker 4: a dog. People talk about people like you. They move
Speaker 4: their kids away, going to is.
Speaker 3: He kids clear the path? Jaggie boys coming on the
Speaker 3: monkey bars?
Speaker 4: How many did you get to to get halfway cross?
Speaker 3: No, because it's so much harder than you. Remember when's
Speaker 3: the last time you did monkey bars?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I think in the eighties when I was about nine
Speaker 5: or ten.
Speaker 3: To the monkey bars this weekend? Both of you? You
Speaker 3: what the grip date for.
Speaker 5: Din Saturday morning monkey bars?
Speaker 4: What nine until ten? I have to put it in
Speaker 4: my color coded calendar.
Speaker 3: Jack, you won't need an hour. Oh, I'm telling you now,
Speaker 3: you'll need five minutes to realize it's way harder.
Speaker 4: Is it harder?
Speaker 6: What hurt?
Speaker 3: The grip strength? So you just hold onto it and
Speaker 3: you start falling off and it's none of this tars
Speaker 3: and like.
Speaker 2: Oh ma, because we wait here, we're bigger than when
Speaker 2: we're a kid.
Speaker 3: I think that's right. And so I was. I got
Speaker 3: three or four bars going like this, like one at
Speaker 3: a time, like little baby steps, and then I gave up.
Speaker 5: Do you know I'm going to go around them today
Speaker 5: and it's going.
Speaker 4: To hear out the kids come back here in forty
Speaker 4: years when you've met chi see how you get on
Speaker 4: what elselight?
Speaker 5: Monkey bars?
Speaker 4: And because actually most of us as adults, you haven't
Speaker 4: done that since you were a kid. Sly when you
Speaker 4: go back to stuff that you could do with these,
Speaker 4: you didn't even think about. It wasn't even a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was like walking is so it's actually humbling, isn't
Speaker 4: It's embarrassing as a kid, I.
Speaker 3: Don't even remember having to learn how to do monkey bars.
Speaker 3: It's just innate something that we innately, naturally did.
Speaker 6: Christian Connell's show podcasts.
Speaker 4: What is a lot harder hours have grown up? That
Speaker 4: was as a kid? Chad found this out. Monkey bars.
Speaker 4: Why don't they have them in gyms? I bet they do.
Speaker 5: I think they're doing those like crossfed gyms, don't they.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't probably done them since I was a
Speaker 3: little kid. And you think you're gonna glide through the
Speaker 3: air like Tarzan from tree to tree, branch to brand,
Speaker 3: but you don't. It's a lot harder than you remember.
Speaker 4: I saw a kid the other day, young lad, right,
Speaker 4: and he was just popping a mono, doing a wheelie
Speaker 4: down the street. Not to impress anyone he was doing
Speaker 4: it because that's what you did, right, And I remember
Speaker 4: years ago and trying one again. It's like it's actually
Speaker 4: scary because you think if I fell off bones, it
Speaker 4: will pick me up and mend me like a broken bar.
Speaker 4: I'll be brushed into the cup.
Speaker 3: True, And that's why you don't see many at old
Speaker 3: monos exactly bringing them back.
Speaker 4: Actually don't. It'd be dangerous to actually recommend.
Speaker 5: Listeners to do that.
Speaker 4: I'd get told off. Patsy, what do you think is
Speaker 4: a lot harder? Nails are grown up?
Speaker 2: Speaking of bikes, definitely dinking someone on your bike. I
Speaker 2: can't remember dinking my girlfriend on the handlebars and my
Speaker 2: bike home from Dare do that now? Haven't got the balance?
Speaker 5: Yeah? All right, it's going to take some coolsness Marianna,

Speaker 4: Yeah, I still love doing that as a kid. Now,
Speaker 4: what happens? You wobbly the balance?

Speaker 10: a few years ago, maybe sixty seven years ago. I
Speaker 10: was on put them on. Yeah, I have some nice
Speaker 10: brite you know, the white ones with the red wheels
Speaker 10: that were really popular when I was a kid, and
Speaker 10: chuck those on and oh gosh, it's so hard, and
Speaker 10: your whole brain rattles, and because you know the streets
Speaker 10: on the footpath, so it's definitely not the same I
Speaker 10: used to be used to be a roller skating queens. Yeah,
Speaker 10: so we were really into it. But yeah, your brain
Speaker 10: you can't too hard.
Speaker 3: Is that an official thing that the roller ink gives
Speaker 3: you a roller skating queen? Or is that just something
Speaker 3: you were called king?
Speaker 10: But the brain rattles, The brain rattles, That's how I
Speaker 10: can explain it, the feeling.
Speaker 4: Marianna, thank you very much for giving us a call.

Speaker 10: school lunchtime. I'd had the caller hoop.
Speaker 3: Going constantly walking around.
Speaker 10: It's the outdoor play area.
Speaker 4: I could do it forever.
Speaker 6: And then I tried it about ten years ago.
Speaker 4: And I thought with my hips, I'd be able to
Speaker 4: hold that. Those hips don't. And I started and I thought,
Speaker 4: oh my god, this is harder than I.
Speaker 10: And I could not anything kick that.
Speaker 2: Up for one twirl.
Speaker 4: You know what, it doesn't. In some ways it's amazing
Speaker 4: as you get older. But in some other ways this
Speaker 4: is your body starts sing. It sucks. You had no
Speaker 4: idea as a kid. You thought there was a promised lamb.
Speaker 4: Being a grown up, what do you know, You'll barely
Speaker 4: be able to move, even working will hurt.
Speaker 2: Why can't I do it?
Speaker 3: I'd rude a haul of hoop in the last year,
Speaker 3: and same thing couldn't get past one rotation.
