Speaker 5: Well, I was ready to yesterday.
Speaker 2: I was doing a million things. Audrey was home sick
Speaker 2: from school. I had to leave work early to get
Speaker 2: home so Chris could go to work. And I had
Speaker 2: to very urgently post this next day parcel or it

Speaker 2: put the guaranteed next day envelopes in.
Speaker 5: They have their they're so special, they have their own mailbox,
Speaker 5: the yellow ones express. Yeah, and it's got that labors
Speaker 5: that use.
Speaker 4: Five sentences when you can use this word, I'm Jack
Speaker 4: trying to edit her down.
Speaker 2: I won't be edited anyway. You have to pull down
Speaker 2: the lever, don't you two to put the parcel in.
Speaker 2: Only I had so in my right hand. I had
Speaker 2: my car keys and the parcel, and then I had
Speaker 2: my handbag and I got a a.
Speaker 5: Roach of tea. I've got a tea as well, because
Speaker 5: I was thirsty anyway.
Speaker 4: So what I did too much going on the hands,
Speaker 4: isn't it?
Speaker 7: I know?
Speaker 2: So what I did when I put the handle down
Speaker 2: and chucked the package in, I didn't realize I also
Speaker 2: had my car keys, so my car keys also went.
Speaker 3: That youre on you, it's not coming up, and I could.
Speaker 5: Like they hit the side of of the.
Speaker 4: And then a nice little kind of next way with them.
Speaker 4: I can imagine it's sort of sifting through all the
Speaker 4: different packages in there for goodness sake.
Speaker 2: And then there was a bless him, a beautiful elderly man,
Speaker 2: you know, one of those ones that just walks the
Speaker 2: streets because he's retired and like he's a people watcher,
Speaker 2: aren't they. There's always one in the in the suburbs.
Speaker 4: I do what I mean, there is some He's actually
Speaker 4: got a car boy hat, right, and he's always there
Speaker 4: seven days a week, and he raises his hat everyone
Speaker 4: everyone he sees. Sometimes I'm driving by, like, oh god,
Speaker 4: there he is, and he's still waving his hat, raising
Speaker 4: his hat. But yeah, there are those certain age where
Speaker 4: they do just sort of patrol the streets.
Speaker 3: Donny, what are you going to do with him? Send
Speaker 3: him into the letter boon He was steady.
Speaker 4: Pull him into it in old timer bones crunch.
Speaker 2: No, he was standing there with his thumbs tucked into
Speaker 2: the front of his trousers, very daptly dressed.
Speaker 4: I might say, a good looking did a man explaining and.
Speaker 2: He's just standing there and he goes, oh, that'll do it,
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, I know that that was my keys.
Speaker 5: What am I going to do? And he said, oh, gee, lady.
Speaker 4: So I had to go into he was a time
Speaker 4: traveler from a different era.
Speaker 2: Was he to go into the post office and explain
Speaker 2: to the man behind the counter of accidentally throwing my
Speaker 2: car keys into the mail wait there going.
Speaker 4: Out on the street. I thought he was put into
Speaker 4: a story like he helps he's watching, right, ok so
Speaker 4: we're going to get it out. When the description of
Speaker 4: all relevant characters in the scene, he wasn't going to
Speaker 4: turn out to be the hero. No, No, he really
Speaker 4: watch his wondering.
Speaker 3: Just in case you guys don't believe me, sorry, here's
Speaker 3: the number of strange.
Speaker 4: So he's just wandering this story and bit no.
Speaker 2: But it's like he had nothing better to do because
Speaker 2: he stood there the whole time until I got my keys.
Speaker 5: Out right, okay, And so I had to get the.
Speaker 2: Men to open the mailbox. And mind you, Chris was
Speaker 2: texting me saying, I've got a meeting. You need to
Speaker 2: get home so you can watch Audrey. So it was
Speaker 2: just it was just one of those days you got
Speaker 2: the keys out though I've got the keys there, we
Speaker 2: go there and that was in real time.
Speaker 1: Guys, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Let's check in with Jackie Boy. How is the house
Speaker 4: that was marinading in its own sewage?
Speaker 3: I think this smell is down to that is in
Speaker 3: a nutshell.
Speaker 4: We we just heard this show first time, going wait,
Speaker 4: what if I hell have I missed?
Speaker 8: Going on?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 3: It was there was no part of the house where
Speaker 3: you could escape. This smell of the sewage that had
Speaker 3: overflowed over the weekend went underneath the house, and then
Speaker 3: even after the plumber had come out and unblocked the blockage,
Speaker 3: the sewage just stayed there marinating. So the house is
Speaker 3: stung for a few days. I think it's down to
Speaker 3: I would say less than five percent of the wicked
Speaker 3: smell that we had on Sunday. So it's livable now.
Speaker 3: It's ready for people on the weekend. If you guys
Speaker 3: were to come around, you'd barely smell a thing.
Speaker 4: Producer Rio said, So, Patsy, he goes, and what about
Speaker 4: your baby son, how's he with the smell? And you see,
Speaker 4: that's some one who hasn't got kids because the sixteen
Speaker 4: a month old love was just crapping in their own
Speaker 4: pants and thinks the whole world should smell of doodo.
Speaker 4: So actually it's gone at last, this house has really
Speaker 4: got my essence.
Speaker 3: And he smells like that every month, and actually probably
Speaker 3: took as longer to identify that there was a sewage blockage,
Speaker 3: because as if the house just.
Speaker 4: Sometimes smells like that, always dropped another one, and you.
Speaker 3: Just you get used to putting up with it a
Speaker 3: little bit like, yeah, he's probably we can probably keep
Speaker 3: in mind this for another hour before we have to
Speaker 3: change it is going to do another one anyway. The
Speaker 3: thing is, as I explained yesterday, we're all connected with
Speaker 3: four houses on the street with this sewage line. So
Speaker 3: when we were blocked yesterday, we were the first house
Speaker 3: to get blocked, but it would have slowly blocked our
Speaker 3: next door neighbor and their neighbor and would.
Speaker 4: Become your problem, would have been your neighbour's problem at
Speaker 4: some point.
Speaker 3: Yes, effect yeah, our neighbors said that it happened about
Speaker 3: five years ago before we lived in the house, and
Speaker 3: because we're downhill from the other properties. We find out
Speaker 3: that something's blocked first, and then they all slowly get blocked.
Speaker 4: So what is it all your pipes interconnection and there's
Speaker 4: one kind of giant tank. Yes, then all your waist
Speaker 4: goes into.
Speaker 3: No, then it shoots out into the system that goes.
Speaker 3: I don't have no idea where it goes where.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know where it goes. I
Speaker 4: presume it all just goes. When I flush a toilet,
Speaker 4: I hope it goes past Patsy's house or into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does go to where is that?
Speaker 4: A bit?
Speaker 5: It goes to the treatment plant.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it eventually goes into the system underneath the street,
Speaker 3: but it goes into this pit in my neighbor's backyard
Speaker 3: before it all go down one tube and out to wherever.
Speaker 3: So I thought that because it was I was unblocking
Speaker 3: a problem that would have been for all four houses.
Speaker 3: Maybe we would share the cost of the emergency plumber
Speaker 3: who came out on Sunday, which, by the way, four
Speaker 3: figures four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course on Sunday, five hours on Sunday, and.
Speaker 3: All the tools he bought, the truck he bought fair enough?
Speaker 4: Was he challenging you pocha and the truck called that
Speaker 4: one two hundred, but I didn't get that one out.
Speaker 4: I called it hundred anyway.
Speaker 3: I texted my neighbor last night, No, actually the night before.
Speaker 3: So now it's been about thirty six hours.
Speaker 5: And this is not a discussion you want when you're
Speaker 5: new to the name.
Speaker 4: No, no, because it's about money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say, I said, Hey, Jeff, as you know,
Speaker 3: we're all sharing.
Speaker 4: A discrimation mirk or Connor. After Hey, Jeff, No, I tried, Jeff,
Speaker 4: you should have sung it don't know funny Jackie White
Speaker 4: parody song. He Jeff, don't take a sad.
Speaker 3: I said, because he's lived there for more than twenty
Speaker 3: years and he knows that the houses have had problems
Speaker 3: in the past. I said, how in the past, how
Speaker 3: have you divided up the cost of that's something like this?
Speaker 3: Nothing for thirty six hours now.
Speaker 5: Hasn't responded, It hasn't responded.
Speaker 4: I do not trust Jeff's for two f's.
Speaker 3: So what now what do I do? I don't want
Speaker 3: to have to go and do say Jeff, I know,
Speaker 3: I look, this text message has been sitting in your
Speaker 3: phone now for two days. What's your answer?
Speaker 4: You've got two choices here. You either do go around
Speaker 4: and have you know, a constructed conversation, or you send
Speaker 4: you a message today going have you had a chance
Speaker 4: ever think about this?
Speaker 3: I there's an option three as well, and.
Speaker 4: Not ignore it.
Speaker 3: Yeah no Jack, No, Jack, non suffered.
Speaker 4: The poo will build up, jacket will come back upstream
Speaker 4: at some point. That's not a confrontation. I just don't
Speaker 4: turn into confrontation. Just send it Bankstrom and put it
Speaker 4: back on him, going, hey, have your a chance to
Speaker 4: ever think about it?
Speaker 3: Very well and truly in his court? Everybody knows what
Speaker 3: text messages you don't. You don't do two in a row.
Speaker 4: Really don't do what you do? You're you're good at sort.
Speaker 5: Of you know what I would do? I would No,
Speaker 5: I would put.
Speaker 3: A turn on his doorstead what more of these.
Speaker 7: About?
Speaker 4: While you're doing it.
Speaker 5: In his shoe box? I would like to know where
Speaker 5: I stood legally before I started.
Speaker 4: Turning up with a judge saying that I serve this
Speaker 4: this you've you've been served. But I would want to
Speaker 4: know do this fourth way.
Speaker 5: I would want to know who's liable, Like, where does
Speaker 5: it stand? Who should pay? Is there someone that can
Speaker 5: give you advice.
Speaker 4: Don't there's not some sort of sewage ombers mean? Actually
Speaker 4: that proper is This is.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Christian, I agree with pats Jack needs so listener, Jack
Speaker 4: should find it where he stands legally before chapter's name
Speaker 4: go to the council. He ain't doing that. The person
Speaker 4: who drew that little map that he mentioned yesterday may
Speaker 4: not have had a clue what they were talking about.
Speaker 4: You reckon, or maybe the neighbor, actually the neighbors actually
Speaker 4: drew the diagram. Trust nobody, Jack Kareny can't walk through
Speaker 4: life like that. Come on another one here. Patsy is
Speaker 4: dead right, always is. Check who is libel? Could end
Speaker 4: up being the water authority?
Speaker 3: But who do you call? What lawyer?
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: You see lots of law like injury lawyers, accident lawyers.
Speaker 3: I never see poo busting lawyers.
Speaker 4: But it'd be a property right thing, would it?
Speaker 5: I guess maybe the property council of I'll have a
Speaker 5: look and all.
Speaker 4: I always think of the situation this, what would an
Speaker 4: adult do?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 4: Google it? Why can't there be a thing like ask jeeves?
Speaker 4: Ask adults?
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Christian o Carl Show Podcast two.
Speaker 4: Eas tomorrow them. We don't fully have a cast, we
Speaker 4: don't fully have a script. We've got one song, we
Speaker 4: need three more. We're putting on our own musical for you.
Speaker 4: So if you are back in the day at school,
Speaker 4: if you didn't let me pass the audition for your
Speaker 4: high school play, or you didn't even go for the audition,
Speaker 4: this is for you. It's a do over. It is
Speaker 4: a high school play, but for grown ups. Forget about Grease.
Speaker 4: We have our own one Grousey musical setting the ages
Speaker 4: here in Australia and you can be in it.
Speaker 6: Grousy no work, not what you heard. It's a barony,
Speaker 6: folly reason.
Speaker 8: It's not a failure. The casting, even.
Speaker 4: Auditions are four losers. Pick your own part at the moment,
Speaker 4: Jack your boy, how many Dannies do we have? How
Speaker 4: many Sandy?
Speaker 3: We have four Dannies? We have four Sandy's two rizzos Kiki.
Speaker 4: All right, So here's where we are at the moment.
Speaker 4: Over the weekend, one of you really wanted to be
Speaker 4: one of the five Dannies. A guy called Bobby who
Speaker 4: actually can sing, He actually wrote and recorded his own
Speaker 4: as an audition hopelessly devoted to booze. Here's a bit
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 10: Now, Mustard, please gone drive. Since you took my last gold.
Speaker 7: Man, I'm full blue?
Speaker 10: How homelessly thoo?
Speaker 4: This is amazing high skill level, right, So Bobby is
Speaker 4: going to be obviously one of the Danny's. However, there's
Speaker 4: another line in the song which gives an opportunity today
Speaker 4: for the only auditions we're going to have, Patsy. You
Speaker 4: see a lot of theater where do they put like
Speaker 4: there's always a sad moment. It's like a transition in
Speaker 4: a musical, isn't it, where it's normally someone on their
Speaker 4: knees cleaning a floor. I've only seen a couple of
Speaker 4: firm us because right but they're doing someone goes, this
Speaker 4: is not the life farm. And that's the interval when it.
Speaker 2: All comes way through and then you come out elated
Speaker 2: because the story picks up in the end.
Speaker 4: Right. So do you think Bobby doing his hopefully devoted
Speaker 4: to boost that's you ad at the end of the first.
Speaker 5: Half, definitely, or we're gonna have an interval?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we have to all right. So there's a
Speaker 4: line in the song where he talks about a seagull.
Speaker 4: But mate, can't you see.
Speaker 8: That's seagull nick my goom sack too.
Speaker 4: Now, obviously, if Andrew Lloyd Webber was producing this, he go, wait,
Speaker 4: this can be a key dramatic moment. Let's have a
Speaker 4: human being that seagull. It runs from the back at
Speaker 4: the back of the theater. Everyone's like, what's going on here?
Speaker 4: And suddenly before he even says this line, but made
Speaker 4: we see what's happening. Before Bobby does the singer for.
Speaker 8: Attagonist, that's seagull nicks.
Speaker 3: My goo sack.
Speaker 4: Now whoever plays a seagull takes the goon off, you know,
Speaker 4: to applause. But obviously boy Pobbly there falls to his knees, crying,
Speaker 4: curtain falls and the first half standing O. What we
Speaker 4: need then is there's two things we said yesterday. We
Speaker 4: need someone who could make the sea gut outfit. Luckily
Speaker 4: we've had someone who's prepared to do this, called Sue
Speaker 4: Christiana went off of my services to make the grouse
Speaker 4: seagull costumes for the I don't think we need several.
Speaker 4: By the way, we have got time. I could do
Speaker 4: as many as you need. I don't mind. Want is
Speaker 4: to have at home, Christiana, A little about me. My
Speaker 4: high school production and choir were out of bounds to
Speaker 4: me because I had no voice and no talent, told
Speaker 4: to me by every teacher. See still, so we're hearing
Speaker 4: a lot of this. It's awful fast all through life.
Speaker 4: While one of my kids was amazingly talented new musical theater.
Speaker 4: Who knows where she got that from? Maybe the butcher. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I sewed. I sewed and created costumes for six years
Speaker 4: for her and the whole cast and their productions. So, Christian,
Speaker 4: I'd love to do this. I've got lots of idea
Speaker 4: how to make the Seagut outfit really look amazing, involving
Speaker 4: cosplay foam. You work a lot with cosback. Come on,
Speaker 4: it loves cosplay, it do, said, dressed up as Kevin
Speaker 4: Sheedy the Weekend of It. Love to his wife is
Speaker 4: Kevin Sheedy. But that is not our business because play Sheedy,
Speaker 4: I think he calls it. Anyway, Look, Christian, I'd love
Speaker 4: to do this. Or ask him aturn is, can I
Speaker 4: be one of the Sandys in the production. I would
Speaker 4: love to take part in this suit. Yes, you can
Speaker 4: be one of the Sandys. Now we do have spots
Speaker 4: for a couple of ex of Danny's.
Speaker 11: Hey, Christian, I really want to be part of Grouse
Speaker 11: and Musical and would love to be the angel in
Speaker 11: Grouse and Musical. One hundred kilos on board on caverning tarts,

Speaker 4: Thank you very much. All ideas very much needed and
Speaker 4: welcome at the moment. Five to seven Gold one oh
Speaker 4: four point three Christian O'Connell show. Yesterday, I chanced upon
Speaker 4: this place and I saw a packet of chips that
Speaker 4: when I was ten and eleven were my favorite thing
Speaker 4: to have. They're called Monster much. They're normally only sold
Speaker 4: in the UK, and I don't know how they made
Speaker 4: it here, many thousands of miles away in Melbourne, but
Speaker 4: I brought a packet and I was sat in my kite.
Speaker 4: You know sometimes you snapple something in the guy you
Speaker 4: kin'dt even wait to get home, and I was transported
Speaker 4: out to being ten years old eating these things called
Speaker 4: monster munch pickled onion flavor. It's not even a particularly
Speaker 4: nice thing to eat. They're actually too sour and actually,
Speaker 4: like what these are, they're aggressive as a ten year old,
Speaker 4: but still sometimes in love it's a prickly joy sometimes anyway,
Speaker 4: I may be fifty, but I'll never be too old
Speaker 4: for a packet of pickled onion monster munch. I was
Speaker 4: so happy. I'm never too old for a packet of
Speaker 4: these chips. What would it be for you, Patsy? What
Speaker 4: do you hope you're never too old for? Well?
Speaker 5: You know, I still like getting tucked in at night
Speaker 5: in bed.
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The love God, Yes, the love God will go and
Speaker 2: tuckwards in and then he'll come and tuck me and
Speaker 2: I love it and it gives me tuck me in.
Speaker 5: I just love it.
Speaker 2: Just make sure that every things, you know, all the
Speaker 2: sheets and the dunis in the perfect spot.
Speaker 4: But you're touched and you like, you know, when you
Speaker 4: go into a get in a hotel bed and it's
Speaker 4: too tight.
Speaker 3: They're way too tight. The first thing I do is
Speaker 3: kick the sheets.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly that. And sometimes it's you have to
Speaker 4: get your partner and kick at the same time because
Speaker 4: you're like tracked in there. Otherwise it feels like you're
Speaker 4: sort of being faxed to yourself. You've been fed into
Speaker 4: toy story. When they're all going let healthy.
Speaker 5: You know no he doesn't.
Speaker 12: Just right.
Speaker 2: It's so cute and I fit of sleep if he
Speaker 2: tucks me in, and on the weekend, if I have
Speaker 2: a nana nap to catch up, he will tuck me
Speaker 2: in through the day as well.
Speaker 4: Love that forehead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's absolutely a kiss.
Speaker 4: And then turn the light off.
Speaker 5: The slight goes off. That's so good, sweet dream.
Speaker 4: See tomorrow when the door gets closed, he's not allowed
Speaker 4: in the bedroom. We have to creep back in two
Speaker 4: hours later when you're asleep.
Speaker 13: No one.
Speaker 5: He's got the TV on?
Speaker 4: So is it the TV?
Speaker 5: And Bolt Christ already?
Speaker 4: Ill never be too old for Andrew Bolt all that wisdom,
Speaker 4: Jackie boy, what do you hope you're never too old for?
Speaker 3: Mine is jelly? And I know I'll never get sick
Speaker 3: of jelly. I loved it as a kid, and now
Speaker 3: the even last week, excited to give Gordy his ur jelly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: went to the supermarket, got some port wine aeroplane jelly.
Speaker 3: But by the time it's set he was already asleep
Speaker 3: for the night, because you've got to wait those four
Speaker 3: or five hours. So I ate the whole thing before
Speaker 3: he woke up.
Speaker 4: The next day. How did you feel sick?
Speaker 3: No, you can eat Jellie should be eating in one s.
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right, and you never how many times as
Speaker 4: a kid those hours went on longer than hours and
Speaker 4: they constant open that fridge. It's kind of a like, no,
Speaker 4: it's not the same if you have it, now, give
Speaker 4: me the jelly. Why now, in so much nanotechnology, can't
Speaker 4: they said it within like five minutes or something? All right?
Speaker 4: What do you hope you're never too old for? Give
Speaker 4: us a call?
Speaker 1: Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 4: What do you hope you'll never be too old to enjoy? Christian?
Speaker 4: I hope I'm never too old to get excited to
Speaker 4: go to the animal nursery at the Melbourne Show. That's
Speaker 4: from Kylie. You've got a lovely couple of his head.
Speaker 4: When Gordon gets a bit older, you tend to he's
Speaker 4: petting zoos. Right, you go and buy like some animal
Speaker 4: feed and you go and feed the goats. You I
Speaker 4: never thought you could have so much fun just feeding
Speaker 4: a goat because they want to do it again and
Speaker 4: again and go back. But it is ticklish, right, and
Speaker 4: you forget how lovely it is to be tickled slightly
Speaker 4: by an animal or human as an adult now you
Speaker 4: don't get so much tickling in your life. The tickling
Speaker 4: years are over right, and they should be. But when
Speaker 4: you have a young kid, you get to re experience
Speaker 4: so much of the child of joy you've forgotten about.
Speaker 3: I think I took him too early to one of
Speaker 3: those places. We went to Series in Brunswick, which had
Speaker 3: a load of chickens, and the chickens made him cry,
Speaker 3: just because there were too many of them.
Speaker 4: They're aggressive, aren't they. They swarmed. They're peggy as well,
Speaker 4: and feeding a goat is a nice tickling sensation on
Speaker 4: your hand. They've got big old leathery tongue. An that's
Speaker 4: too much detail over chickens. Always jack always right, your
Speaker 4: all number nine hundred, all right? So what do you what?
Speaker 4: Will you never be too old for Jackie Boy and
Speaker 4: jelly for you? Any flavor, strawberry, raspberry.
Speaker 3: Any flavor. They're all good. And Patty just said to.
Speaker 4: Me, lacing it, spicing it for something.
Speaker 2: Just get some like low sugar lemonade and replace it
Speaker 2: with the water when you're making it out.
Speaker 4: You don't use low sugar anything. Absolutely, you're not low sugar. No,
Speaker 4: she's pouring it more in.

Speaker 13: that have passed away, and we take them from maybe
Speaker 13: home or from hospital or from a nursing home, and
Speaker 13: we take them on their last journey to the funeral home.
Speaker 4: Well hopefully there's a couple more journeys after that. Don't

Speaker 13: with my brother as well, and so it's a real
Speaker 13: joy to work together. We call that quality time, you know,
Speaker 13: and it's we were very humbled by the families and
Speaker 13: that they allow us to look after their loved one.
Speaker 13: And it's a family decide that they like to stay
Speaker 13: in the room with us while we prepare their loved one.
Speaker 13: That's okay too. I think I did one transfer where
Speaker 13: there was like seventeen people in the room, so, you know,
Speaker 13: and then a really beautiful, joyous thing is when we
