Speaker 4: three hours of the show. Yesterday, I had to go
Speaker 4: all the way to Bunnings right just to get you know,
Speaker 4: those really fairly irritating little lights, the halogen ones that
Speaker 4: have got like two little forks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at old olden daisy.
Speaker 4: No I would say futuristic, oh.
Speaker 2: Halogen spotlight thing that's down lights yeah, sidelight down light.
Speaker 3: Is it going in the roof, because then it's a downlight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not in the roof. It's outside the house
Speaker 4: by the door. One of those which is out here.
Speaker 2: One of those lights, you know, just just a light
Speaker 2: like a safety light that turns on when someone walks up.
Speaker 4: That's it. Yeah, yeah, anyway, it's one of those horrible
Speaker 4: little ones. You've got to get that little clasp out. No,
Speaker 4: I say, that's new. This thing is going to work
Speaker 4: for fifty thousand hours. The guy told me the replacement
Speaker 4: hold fifty thousand hours. I reckon, that's going to It's
Speaker 4: going to outlive me. That's my legacy. I can leave
Speaker 4: it in my will.
Speaker 3: A lot of people at the front door.
Speaker 4: You're NonStop with the kids and not their online shopping orders.
Speaker 4: So I had a good a Bunnings because I couldn't
Speaker 4: find it. Will worse and it is one of those
Speaker 4: weird little twenty.
Speaker 2: Watts specialty ones.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. I'm struggling with it.
Speaker 3: Every time you try and give details about the light,
Speaker 3: you glaze over.
Speaker 4: Did we lose you for some reason? I'm holding I
Speaker 4: don't know. I'm telling them pressure. I took the thing
Speaker 4: with me, right, yeah, that's the way. As soon as
Speaker 4: they go into Bunnings, and I went, they must just
Speaker 4: go we go. You've seen this to weep in. I
Speaker 4: didn't even said words, and this held. I went lighty, lighty,
Speaker 4: and this guy, you know, like they just march off,
Speaker 4: don't they. They don't even wait for you to catch
Speaker 4: up them. It was beating down there, and then he
Speaker 4: found the light and course its cost its bunning. So thought,
Speaker 4: this is all I need now I should just go home.
Speaker 4: But I saw some brooms past the bos went damnit,
Speaker 4: that is a really stiff, shit looking dirty outdoor. Ah
Speaker 4: sort those leaves out family, So I got. Then I got.
Speaker 4: I saw I've got this really you know, it's wooden,
Speaker 4: old school. It's like a chim chimney j van. So
Speaker 4: I've got one of those. I thought, well, I've got
Speaker 4: the outside sort. I need a nice soft one now
Speaker 4: in the house. So I've got a really two new.
Speaker 2: Beautiful broom inside.
Speaker 4: Actually i've got the DIY. But it's this good for
Speaker 4: a back up there there has been away this week.
Speaker 4: When she comes back Friday, I want to show that
Speaker 4: I've been a very productive guarded place. Light bobs, and
Speaker 4: I've got an indoor and outdoor broom.
Speaker 3: Look at this, we've got the rigid bristles.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it sounds like you need to go to bunning.
Speaker 4: So you're looking for some obscure battery.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the battery let me break. And I
Speaker 3: actually because.
Speaker 4: As soon as I heard Jack's looking for that for
Speaker 4: his kid's toy. This was like the first couple of
Speaker 4: years of me being a dad. They're various toys and
Speaker 4: props they need require these very very obscure holy grail
Speaker 4: of batteries that you don't even know exists.
Speaker 3: I can't find this anywhere. It is a CNB G thirteen,
Speaker 3: a round battery. It goes in gold.
Speaker 4: Where does it need all those letters? Like the DA
Speaker 4: system works double a triple. What's the CNB one five night.
Speaker 4: It's like in the back of a book, the I
Speaker 4: SDN number.
Speaker 3: It's Gordy's rubber duck. That's also a bath thermometer, so
Speaker 3: we actually use it every night to check these bath temperatures.
Speaker 4: Correct, it's right, bath thermometer. That's changed. When is this thing?
Speaker 4: If you just put your elbow, yeah you were. Trainers
Speaker 4: have used the elbow that skin over your elbow. It's
Speaker 4: softer there, so it would be more reliable than us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and se because we have now used the thermometer
Speaker 3: every night. We don't know how to do the self
Speaker 3: of these gadgets.
Speaker 2: You just don't know.
Speaker 4: We needed a rubber ducky that's also a thermometer.
Speaker 3: He can't have a bath until we get this duck.
Speaker 3: But I went to Woollies they don't have the battery.
Speaker 3: Went to Chemist Squarehouse, went on the internet. The internet
Speaker 3: has everything to what you typing in? Whatever that is
Speaker 3: on cmb G thirteen a battery? He didn't know about it.
Speaker 3: Where can I get this battery? Do I have to
Speaker 3: go to that place of this battery world that claims
Speaker 3: to have.
Speaker 4: Every single battery ever? Someone must know? So what is it?
Speaker 4: Is it? All those circular ones?
Speaker 3: It's a circular one, but not the ones that they
Speaker 3: have at Chemical Squarehouse.
Speaker 4: They have about three or four those, don't they? Are
Speaker 4: they the C one, C one, two, three, four five? Yes?
Speaker 3: And I need c nb G thirteen.
Speaker 4: Ah. Do you know what? I'd love to do a
Speaker 4: battery based quizner radio one day anyway? Right? So can
Speaker 4: anyone help? What is it again?
Speaker 3: A CNB G thirteen A. If you got any line
Speaker 3: around the house or you know where I can get him,
Speaker 3: please can't.
Speaker 4: Move for them, Christian, this might mean even when we
Speaker 4: asked last year about what's your favorite dinosaur, this might
Speaker 4: be the most niche phoning we've ever done. Well.
Speaker 1: Christian Connell's show podcast Breaking News.
Speaker 4: We may have won another gold medal. Rio the producer
Speaker 4: just told me we may have Tima Sun and now
Speaker 4: just pickinghim up, just walking around the pool. He hasn't
Speaker 4: got a goal. Just give him one. I'm sure he's
Speaker 4: got one or about to get We'll just give it
Speaker 4: to him now. We may have one another gold. Nine
Speaker 4: so far overnight gold medals at the Games in Birmingham.
Speaker 4: Nine golden cancels to give away right now. Though Jack
Speaker 4: needs her help. Jack Son Gordon needs our help. Bath
Speaker 4: Time tonight is hanging in the balance.
Speaker 3: We rely on a rubber duck that tells the temperature
Speaker 3: of the water to make sure it's safe for him
Speaker 3: to enter the water.
Speaker 4: Does it change color or something so it's like purple,
Speaker 4: it's too hot.
Speaker 3: It's got a little LCD display on it that tells
Speaker 3: you what temperature has to be between thirty eight degrees
Speaker 3: and thirty four degrees celsius. That is premium baby bath temperature.
Speaker 4: They love that temper but too.
Speaker 3: Cold for adults. I found I like to go up
Speaker 3: to forty because now I'm starting to use the temperature.
Speaker 7: Duck.
Speaker 4: You're kidding? Yeah, no is worn out because Gordon's only
Speaker 4: been on this planet for four months. Those batteries last
Speaker 4: for longer. You're wearing it out. You've got a little
Speaker 4: ubber ducky have you?
Speaker 3: So he ran out of batteries. I used a little
Speaker 3: screwed to open him up. He's got those little discs
Speaker 3: batteries inside. I can't, for the laugh of me find
Speaker 3: them woolies chemist warehouse. I'm good.
Speaker 4: And it's not one of those household round ones like
Speaker 4: C one or C two.
Speaker 3: It's not your regular round ones. These are hard to
Speaker 3: find round ones. Where do I get a CNB G
Speaker 3: thirteen A battery? I don't know?
Speaker 4: So how did you find out that was good? Did
Speaker 4: you don't think we have to? I've had to take
Speaker 4: a photo of them before then enlarge it to read
Speaker 4: those hieroglyphics.
Speaker 3: That's what I've got a photo of the two batteries,
Speaker 3: and it says on the top seeing BG thirteen eight.
Speaker 3: So that's why I'm looking to reply.
Speaker 4: I need that big telescope. They're looking into deep space
Speaker 4: right now, aren't they seeing all those amazing images? Just
Speaker 4: to get what the flipping battery is called? All right,
Speaker 4: we actually have people calling in you. We're trying to
Speaker 4: help you. Felicity, good morning, good morning. So how can
Speaker 4: you help Jackie? Do you know what the battery is?
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly what bettery you want, but I'm
Speaker 6: looking at on a battery. Yes, side me a twenty
Speaker 6: four pack of assorted batteries, all little round ones, all
Speaker 6: different sizes, and I got that from a bargain shop,
Speaker 6: like a two dollar shop.
Speaker 1: They still call it the two dollars shop.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they are like pills yet and there's one, two, three, four,
Speaker 6: five differentizers and three of each. So I'm happy to
Speaker 6: send this whole pack into for jack not for jack.
Speaker 8: So Gordon, not to.
Speaker 4: Gordon care of Gold FM for listening.
Speaker 3: Yes, but can you scan them and look for G
Speaker 3: thirteen because I.
Speaker 4: See do you think that they're just do to scan stuff?
Speaker 3: I've seen all these different disc batteries and I can't
Speaker 3: find the G thirteen.
Speaker 9: That's what I thought.
Speaker 6: I'll just send you in the whole packet.
Speaker 3: But he might not be in there, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: He's not one of the regular disc batteries.
Speaker 6: Okay, have a look.
Speaker 3: Is it in front of you now?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's in front of me. Now what do you after?
Speaker 7: G G thirteen A G thirteen A.

Speaker 6: That's all right now all the bits for Gordon. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and told Jack to stop playing with these little mens toys.
Speaker 6: That's not fair. Only the non battery one.
Speaker 4: July little man as well. Family are back. That internet
Speaker 4: history has been wiped. Hell, look how we got here? Michael?
Speaker 10: Yes, okay, Christian here you're going.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, you're good actually Michael? Yeah, have you got
Speaker 4: the old g R fourteen and stop?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 10: Absolutely so? You jacksplas are all the places where they sell.
Speaker 10: But he's been looking for the wrong thing, so instead
Speaker 10: of looking for the G thirteen, the more common name
Speaker 10: for it these days is the LR forty four.
Speaker 4: How are smear mortal? The muggles? How are meant to.
Speaker 10: Know that all the rest of the numbers are all
Speaker 10: gobbledlygoogs that you don't have to worry about? Or the
Speaker 10: G thirteen. If you just search G thirteen on the Internet,
Speaker 10: you'll see it's also known as a A seventy six
Speaker 10: or an LR forty four, but the LR forty four
Speaker 10: is what everyone knows it as.
Speaker 3: Why do they make it so Michael?
Speaker 4: Why is it so complicated?
Speaker 10: I really don't know. But the spot, Christian, you would
Speaker 10: know these batteries because I'm sure back in the day
Speaker 10: you might have had a flip screen Donkey Kong game,
Speaker 10: you know, the.
Speaker 4: Orange game, one of those four powering.
Speaker 8: Dont it had a G thirteen battery?
Speaker 4: And Christian, oh my.
Speaker 3: God, I didn't know aund your house.
Speaker 10: Yeah, music Jack went back into Woolies or into any
Speaker 10: of the places that he went into, he would find
Speaker 10: the l R forty four or the A seventy six battery,
Speaker 10: which is exactly the same as the G thirteen.
Speaker 3: I'm writing down LR forty four.
Speaker 4: Thanks so, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: They've got to make it easier. It's too difficult.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Michael, thank you very much. Can we come
Speaker 4: back to if we have any more battery information. I'm
Speaker 4: going to call you the show battery doctor of course,
Speaker 4: Thank you doctor.
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: We have ten beautiful golden kettles to give away, no
Speaker 4: ordinary kettles of these big bulls.
Speaker 11: Break it down, thanks Christian. The Smeth golden kettle features
Speaker 11: on one point seven leaders stainless steel body, a soft
Speaker 11: opening lid, three hundred and sixty degree swivel bass with
Speaker 11: their tasteful fifties design which will leave your kitchen looking
Speaker 11: retro yet futuristic.
Speaker 4: Back to you in the studio, all right, So that's
Speaker 4: to E and s Rob. Once more came up Sums
Speaker 4: last year when we did the Gold of Thon for
Speaker 4: the Games in Tokyo, we were given away Bosh golden
Speaker 4: washing machines this time. Then for Games in Birmingham it's
Speaker 4: a golden Smeg kettle. Now I was trying to describe it.
Speaker 4: Big Bull's voiceover guy then described it as a futuristic
Speaker 4: Artistan retro one, and it's true. And it also reminded
Speaker 4: me of the mandalorin if you like the show's the
Speaker 4: Mandalorin Mando's Helmet. Now, I said this thinking it would
Speaker 4: have been like a dog whistle. No one would have
Speaker 4: really meant heard what I meant. However, I got an
Speaker 4: email yesterday from a listener called Sarah Hogan Christian. I
Speaker 4: was listening to the show the other day. We're talking
Speaker 4: about the Golden Semit kettles looking like Mandalorian. Despite you
Speaker 4: saying no Manda fans was would be listening. I was.
Speaker 4: I've had a look. It does somewhat look like Mando's helmet.
Speaker 4: It's the wrong collar, and in fact it's more reminiscent
Speaker 4: of C. Three PO. Closer I looked at the kettle,
Speaker 4: the more it does remind me of beloved Star Wars,
Speaker 4: And although C. Three PM is not my favorite character,
Speaker 4: the beauty of the smoke caretos start to make me
Speaker 4: grow more fond of that at times irritating Droid Krishan.
Speaker 4: Our house is littered with various Star Wars items, including
Speaker 4: it's quite a list this guy's including a set of
Speaker 4: espresso cups, which are on permanent display on our kitchen bench.
Speaker 4: Of course, Sarah a range of glassware, shot glasses, mugs
Speaker 4: with various character images that I now have to add
Speaker 4: to some of my crystal display cabinet as we've run
Speaker 4: out of room in the kitchen cupboards. In my eight
Speaker 4: year marriage, every Birthday, Christmas and now Mother's Day, the
Speaker 4: gifts are all Star Wars themes. I've even brought a
Speaker 4: padded golf cover for my golf club. I don't play golf,
Speaker 4: I don't have the clubs. I just love the design
Speaker 4: of a stormtrooper's helmet. I do not intend to play golf.
Speaker 4: Guess what Sarah's mobile phone ring tone is that March
Speaker 4: and Christian I have on layby at the Big w
Speaker 4: a Star Wars dinner sets. Now Christian nobody reading this. Emi.
Speaker 4: I think I lost the point, and I thought it
Speaker 4: might plead my case for giving away one of these
Speaker 4: kettles to a huge Star Wars And now you know
Speaker 4: Mandalorian fan who would love to add it to their
Speaker 4: collection of Star Wars themed kitchen items. Sarah, I cannot
Speaker 4: stand between you and this complete collection, and I hope
Speaker 4: you can get that lay by all sorts that you're
Speaker 4: gonna have a Star Wars themed dinner set. Yes, you
Speaker 4: win the first golden kettle today, the Mandalorian slash c
Speaker 4: three po golden kettle.
Speaker 3: Just not to confuse everybody else, it's not a Star
Speaker 3: Wars theme kettle. It just looks like it could belong
Speaker 3: in the Star Wars universe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're worried about theleganities and why I have
Speaker 4: to keep referring to it as the games. I tell
Speaker 4: you who people are even more twitchy other lawyers of
Speaker 4: the Lucas Empire. But yes, Sarah, you can have one
Speaker 4: of these golden Smith kettles cal a brighter.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian o'conll show podcast.
Speaker 4: One of the greatest Australian raps and a song ever
Speaker 4: Boom Crash Opera Onion Skin on gold is ten to seven.
Speaker 4: We have kettle slash mandaloriin helmets to give away. The
Speaker 4: god on is Back nine to give away between now
Speaker 4: and nine o'clock this morning. Let's get into some of
Speaker 4: your brilliant emails. We love getting your calls, love getting
Speaker 4: your text every day on the time Waster, you can
Speaker 4: also email the show. If you can't call in Christian
Speaker 4: at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au. We called it
Speaker 4: late to the party. Late Anthony's our first Christian. You
Speaker 4: were talking to a lady on the show yesterday sold
Speaker 4: tarot cards and you set in one of your tangents, Larry,
Speaker 4: your cat could get a reading. It reminded me of
Speaker 4: something my daughter went to see a medium at the
Speaker 4: start of the year. I was told a load of old,
Speaker 4: random rubbish, but one thing stuck in mind was not
Speaker 4: a believer. Anthony was one thing stuck in mind. She
Speaker 4: was told, our dog has a special ability. He is
Speaker 4: able to see dead people. I mean, there's a hot reboot.
Speaker 3: My dog sees dead.
Speaker 4: Yes, our dog apparently has the sixth sense. This puzzled us,
Speaker 4: as you can hardly see where he's putting his palls
Speaker 4: most of the time. All about Anthony, that he is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: And then we've got a couple of great stories here
Speaker 4: about smuggling. We were taking calls about this yesterday. You've
Speaker 4: probably seen the amazing story about the guy sniffer dog
Speaker 4: went and sat down next to him, which is what
Speaker 4: we found out yesterday. The dogs do and thinking that
Speaker 4: there was something in his bag. It was a load
Speaker 4: of McDonald's he smuggled in from Barley to Australia where
Speaker 4: macas as we know, is widely available. Three thousand dollars fine, Christian.
Speaker 4: When I was in grade four, my older brother got
Speaker 4: me to smuggle some dirty magazines to the school. What
Speaker 4: is a younger brother there to do other than be
Speaker 4: a poor mule. Obviously, being the age I wasn't grade five,
Speaker 4: I didn't really know what they were. Come recess, Come recess.
Speaker 4: I had the magazines to pass to my brother and
Speaker 4: he was going to sell them. I was sworn by
Speaker 4: boys literally ripping pages from the magazines. All of the
Speaker 4: commotion got the attention of the teacher I was taking
Speaker 4: to the principal office with the magazines. I got in
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble. My brother scot free. That's incredible, Christian.
Speaker 4: In year eleven I began to smuggle him boos and
Speaker 4: cigarettes to the boys at school. This is from Julian.
Speaker 4: To make it worth my while, I would increase the
Speaker 4: price marginally so if I got caught, I would have
Speaker 4: something to show for it. I saved about fifteen hundred
Speaker 4: bucks across two years.
Speaker 3: You can pay off the teachers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing, Thank you very much, Jaws Christian. My
Speaker 4: dad came back to Australia after going back to the
Speaker 4: UK for a family funeral. First thing he did when
Speaker 4: is he got home. He revealed nearly two kilograms worth
Speaker 4: of pair dropped sweets from his anrap pockets that he'd
Speaker 4: unstitched and stashed multiple little bags around the hem lighting.
Speaker 4: He could have got in so much trouble, like the
Speaker 4: detail that he's gone to that recently, like an actual
Speaker 4: drug dealers to these paar drops are English sweets. They're
Speaker 4: vaulting like really acidy. Old people love them because he
Speaker 4: loved them. We want to smuggle some. You couldn't get
Speaker 4: hold of them in this country. Wants to smuggle them.
Speaker 4: Two kilos worth laden down old technicolor dream coat. A
Speaker 4: bag after bag has been dropped on the table. He
Speaker 4: looked so happy. My dad bless him with such a dag.
Speaker 4: That's from Heather Christian. About nine years ago, my legendary
Speaker 4: uncle snuck a whole hot chicken from Woody's Deli into
Speaker 4: the cinema. My cousins are about fourteen and seventeenth the
Speaker 4: time of with him, were mortified. Uncle gren not wanted
Speaker 4: to risk no movie snacks if we got busted. Made
Speaker 4: my cousin sneak the bread rolls separately so he can
Speaker 4: make us sandwiches in there. This is incredible, Sarah, thank
Speaker 4: you very much that email. I love that all right.
Speaker 4: So have you got any stories about smuggling in or
Speaker 4: smuggling out? We want to hear about them on nine
Speaker 4: four one four one O four three The Great Ones.
Speaker 4: Maybe you'll get one of the golden kettles.
Speaker 1: The Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 4: What if you try to smuggle in or out? Tash?
Speaker 4: Good morning Tash, Good morning Christian. How are you good mate?
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for asking. I hope you're well.
Speaker 4: Thanks for cooling the show. What have you been smuggling?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 12: This is a bit of an embarrassing one.
Speaker 13: When I was in the seven me and my best
Speaker 13: friend from primary school went to different schools. She got
Speaker 13: mixed up with a bit rougher crowd than me, and
Speaker 13: we went to Kmas. They used to have Lolli's hubs
Speaker 13: that you would fill your own mollies.
Speaker 14: Her grand idea.
Speaker 13: Was to fill it with makeup and put lollies on
Speaker 13: the top. So we went through the cash out and
Speaker 13: paid our three dollars. We say, stealing probably eighty dollars.
Speaker 4: That's thieving.
Speaker 13: Get worse worse.
Speaker 14: So I felt so guilty that the next day, when
Speaker 14: I went to the shopping center with my family, I
Speaker 14: smuggled it back in and guilty about it.
Speaker 12: I couldn't handle it and I snug it back in.
Speaker 4: That says a lot about who you are. That's quite
Speaker 4: an amazing thing to do, that, Tash.
Speaker 12: It's my guilty secret.
Speaker 13: From my childhood.

Speaker 4: parents were hooked in. You had to go and buy
Speaker 4: yet another tamagotchi because if.
Speaker 3: You didn't clean up. He's poor enough. He died from
Speaker 3: knowing too much poory on it, that's.
Speaker 4: Right, And I'm talking about paying too much of stuff,
Speaker 4: and Peo about to pay way over the odds overs
Speaker 4: for took Ammel years ago when the girls were youngers.
Speaker 4: Their version of this was these things called furbies. Do
Speaker 4: you remember these were huge right anyway, you couldn't get
Speaker 4: hold of them in the UK for love nor money. Right.
Speaker 4: People were paying a lot more that they just weren't available.
Speaker 4: So I promised the girls, and as a parent, once
Speaker 4: you promise, you've got to deliver on that, I said,
Speaker 4: don't worry, you'll get You'll get ferbies. So I found
Speaker 4: online on a German website right that I could get too,
Speaker 4: for both my daughters. So this is I got to say,
Speaker 4: I've got it. It's only like a little bit over,
Speaker 4: but got to pay for postage, but it's going to

Speaker 4: That is a moment in history. I know, late sixties,
Speaker 4: wasn't it Was it sixty eight, sixty seventy when Yeah.
Speaker 21: I can't recall what year it was. But she was
Speaker 21: a telephonist in an old you know, with this obviously
Speaker 21: waid back old school in she had the switchboard that
Speaker 21: you had to sort of put the plug in the
Speaker 21: hole and put it over to this other one, and
Speaker 21: she took the initial call to say that he was missing,
Speaker 21: and she had to sort of put that call through
Speaker 21: to the relevant authorities.
Speaker 4: Wow, wait, that really is your mum's involved in such
Speaker 4: a historic moment. Yeah, I know, there was so much
Speaker 4: mystery about what happened. I remember reading a book about

Speaker 21: it afterwards.
Speaker 4: You know, she was sort of to say that the

Speaker 21: Yeah, it would have been one of the authorities, you know,
Speaker 21: one of the people that was with him, I should imagine,
Speaker 21: because he wasn't out there alone. He thought, you know,
Speaker 21: these people have always got security around them.
Speaker 4: I think he had gone for late, very late nights
Speaker 4: swim by himself, and that's what the around it. I
