Speaker 3: in a minute. Patsy, are you okay?
Speaker 4: Brilliant?
Speaker 3: Thank you? Well?
Speaker 5: I am?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 6: Jack?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's really well at the moment, I
Speaker 3: am technically not though it's Jack post. I fear this
Speaker 3: is because you are home alone. You're starting to break
Speaker 3: down to day. We made it to Wednesday. He's got
Speaker 3: another two and a half weeks home alone.
Speaker 2: But I cooked for myself yesterday.
Speaker 3: So what did you make? Chicken? Beef?
Speaker 2: I made a soup. I'm starving this morning.
Speaker 3: I don't respect soup is just like an easy, little
Speaker 3: quick thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm proud of myself for going to the
Speaker 2: shops getting the ingredients, coming home, chopping them up.
Speaker 3: You just make something better. Taking quicker soup takes time.
Speaker 2: It did take time, and I'm starving.
Speaker 3: There. What did you make? What kind of soup?
Speaker 2: It's a chicken vegetable soup.
Speaker 3: And I'm so boring.
Speaker 2: It's not young in a bone broth.
Speaker 1: Oh that's.
Speaker 3: Bone broth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's healthy for you.
Speaker 3: It is very good to good to you, but starving
Speaker 3: now your body. That was starting right in France they
Speaker 3: caught that French onion soup. How do to start?
Speaker 2: I forgot to even get some bread, like a dipping,
Speaker 2: and I couldn't dip the crumpets.
Speaker 3: Why not dip the crumpets a crumpet in a soup? Yes,
Speaker 3: why not? I've been like heston Bluemins. You gotta have
Speaker 3: something that dunkins, because that's the food. It's a drink.
Speaker 3: It's just a drink with some bits in. I didn't
Speaker 3: have noodles as well.
Speaker 2: I had some noodles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, God, it's a sloppy old meal, isn't it. So
Speaker 3: then I finally like wiping your chin a.
Speaker 2: Lot of the time, especially with a beard.
Speaker 3: Again, but actually the joy of if you're home alone,
Speaker 3: you can just make all that mess down the front.
Speaker 3: It doesn't leave it, just leave that for two weeks.
Speaker 3: So you start with this morning, I'm very hungry. Right yesterday,
Speaker 3: my daughter is eighteen this Sunday. Right, we've actually had
Speaker 3: a big argument yesterday. My wife and I were her
Speaker 3: because she's eighteen on Sundays, she's like when I'm an adult,
Speaker 3: and technically she is, even though she is also a child.
Speaker 3: You know, do you remember being eighteen? I thought I
Speaker 3: was a grown up. You look back now, you were
Speaker 3: just you were just a child who's eighteen.
Speaker 2: Especially turning eighteen on a weekend, people would wait to
Speaker 2: the stroke of midnight so they could get into bars.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So she's been doing this big thing. I'm an adult,
Speaker 3: and so she's booked in to get a tattoo next
Speaker 3: week already. I did not know. Suddenly she came out
Speaker 3: to me and said, hey, you know you, I was
Speaker 3: doing how I want to get a tattoo? And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh god, I thought that was just a conversation.
Speaker 3: I went, yeah, she goes, I've booked in next week.
Speaker 3: I went, oh god, I said, that does mumna about this? Now?
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to tell you both. Now
Speaker 3: you where will the tattoo be? How big will it be?
Speaker 3: And then you've got tattoo. I've got tattoo, right, But
Speaker 3: we're we're sort of further down our life. No.
Speaker 2: I got mine when I was nineteen, and I was
Speaker 2: hoping to have some you know, on a whim as did.
Speaker 3: You maybe I can usual story? Do you regret it?
Speaker 3: I do? Yes, Finally you can come in useful. Oh Jack,
Speaker 3: this is what I need, okay study Oh yes, Because
Speaker 3: I keep transplaining to her like, look, okay, I understand
Speaker 3: you want to get tattoo. You are, you're eighteen. It's
Speaker 3: up to you. Now they're your choices, absimately your mistakes.
Speaker 3: But how you feel now at eighteen? You are not
Speaker 3: going to fill out this at twenty one or even
Speaker 3: a year's time. Do you remember what you thought about
Speaker 3: life at eighteen? Because you know next to nothing.
Speaker 2: That's why the tattoo I got, which is two birds
Speaker 2: on my little back, No.
Speaker 3: That is actually worse than a tramp stamp. It is,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: It has absolutely no meaning. And that's the number one
Speaker 2: question people asked when you have a tattoo, It's like,
Speaker 2: what does it mean? And all I did was I
Speaker 2: was nineteen. I picked it out of a book.
Speaker 7: I quite big, isn't It goes right across your back.
Speaker 7: It's massive.
Speaker 2: You gotta take a photo off my back and take
Speaker 2: it home today and she won't get next week.
Speaker 3: If you want to get something, okay, it needs to
Speaker 3: really mean something, but small and where you can cover
Speaker 3: it up. Because I said, you know, you're going to
Speaker 3: choose a line of work hoping that means something to you.
Speaker 3: People might make of your judgment on that. And if
Speaker 3: you're later on the war, it doesn't matter. You're into
Speaker 3: who you are and what you are. But at eighteen
Speaker 3: you don't want to be shutting down doors too early. Anyway.
Speaker 3: Then I saw the size of thing I was not
Speaker 3: and it's at the moment it's like four inches, and
Speaker 3: I went, it needs to be smaller. It needs to
Speaker 3: be maybe four centimeters or three centimeters. Please, I guarantee.
Speaker 3: Because I tell you what happened is in about five
Speaker 3: years time, you go, why didn't you try to stop me.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you try to stop me? He said, you're
Speaker 3: an adult. This same guy made a cat that cat
Speaker 3: out right, it's going to be the one giving me
Speaker 3: life advice is very hard.
Speaker 2: Good luck to ear all right?
Speaker 3: Is there anyone else who got a tattoo when they
Speaker 3: were younger? Maybe a teenager who actually regrets it. I
Speaker 3: need more case studies like Jackson.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: So my eldest daughter hits eighteen this Sunday. Really exciting, right,
Speaker 3: everyone else is at fever pitch this week. It's amazing
Speaker 3: and it was not so amazing yesterday. The conversation when
Speaker 3: she said, technically I'm going to be an adult. Your
Speaker 3: mum need to understand this. Now I'm thinking this is
Speaker 3: going somewhere. So I've booked in to get a tattoo,
Speaker 3: oh God please, and so so to put it somewhere
Speaker 3: where you can cover it, so that when you're going
Speaker 3: out to the big world world and trying to have
Speaker 3: job interviews and you're still new in the world, people
Speaker 3: aren't making judgments about you. And so she wants to
Speaker 3: get this tattoo. Which if she wants to get tattoo
Speaker 3: and it means to her, I'm okay with but it's
Speaker 3: just got to be small and discreet, and then I'm
Speaker 3: gonna get loads more. And I said, maybe maybe I
Speaker 3: don't know by telling house doesn't know. You don't know either,
Speaker 3: because remember when you were eighteen, those thoughts you have
Speaker 3: everything is you think you know everything. You're so one
Speaker 3: hundred percent on everything, there's no uncertainty. Or maybe you're
Speaker 3: just I'm going to do this. This is not going
Speaker 3: to be in the world. This other world's going to
Speaker 3: be around me, and you changed only my twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five thirty. You've got a tattoo. Those tattoos you regret.
Speaker 2: That I got them when I was nineteen, and the
Speaker 2: reason that I got them on such a whim and
Speaker 2: they don't mean anything too much.
Speaker 3: Where were you were you in Bali?
Speaker 2: I was in Thailand, Class C.
Speaker 3: Hello, Ozzie's travel real.
Speaker 2: Well, this is the other thing I didn't know at
Speaker 2: the time. When you get a tattoo, you meant to
Speaker 2: keep it out of the sun. Yeah, you're like hovery week. Yes,
Speaker 2: I got on the second day of being in Thailand.
Speaker 2: You know, the next day I was going out to
Speaker 2: a beach and islands and stuff, so I wasn't allowed
Speaker 2: to keep it and allowed to be.
Speaker 3: In the sun.
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to get heaps of tattoos
Speaker 2: at the age, so I thought it won't really matter
Speaker 2: that this doesn't mean anything to me, and then I
Speaker 2: stopped after one. And now the question I get whenever
Speaker 2: I'm at the pool or at the beach is what
Speaker 2: do theyse mean to you? And I have nothing to
Speaker 2: say about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's not you, is it? That's not me?
Speaker 2: Two birds on my back is not me. That doesn't
Speaker 2: mean anything to me.
Speaker 3: Caitlyn our producer, right, a brilliant, really smart producer. She's awesome.
Speaker 3: She just told her says she was going to get
Speaker 3: one with the word serendipity down the side of her
Speaker 3: ankle because it was her favorite.
Speaker 2: Word intsive writing.
Speaker 3: And these are the thoughts that we have at nineteen,
Speaker 3: don't we.
Speaker 2: She luckily dodged a boat though somehow was so smart
Speaker 2: at eighteen not to do that.
Speaker 3: It was almost serendiproducer, you should get that tattoo. Now,
Speaker 3: all right, let's say schools, Mikayla, good.
Speaker 5: Morning, Good morning, guys.
Speaker 3: Tell you I'm good. Mikayla. So did you get a
Speaker 3: tattoo when you were.
Speaker 8: Younger, mate, Yeah, I'm now twenty five. I was a
Speaker 8: couple of years ago.
Speaker 5: I was twenty one at the time.
Speaker 4: I was annually from work and I went and I'll
Speaker 4: get a tattoo. I now have a little coffee cup
Speaker 4: on my wroost that my pants family dissed me for.
Speaker 4: And now I was like, oh, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4: I love it and I hate it.
Speaker 3: Now can I ask why did you get the coffee cup?
Speaker 3: Do you just love coffee?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh god, I drink it every morning.
Speaker 5: My partner can't deal with me.
Speaker 3: That's great, that's fine, But that's great. Don't need to
Speaker 3: put it on the body.
Speaker 2: People love coffee.
Speaker 3: It's not like to do this a guy. I must
Speaker 3: give another one of these.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, my family didn't.
Speaker 5: Doesn't let me live it down.
Speaker 11: And if they heard these, they would never.
Speaker 12: Let me down.
Speaker 3: How big is the coffee cup?
Speaker 13: A couple.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say, you've got a couple of centimeters,
Speaker 5: about five or six centimeters.
Speaker 3: Makaya. Thank you very much and cool. Thank you, Lewis,
Speaker 3: Good morning, Ricia, Helloo, yeah is it? And Lewis tell
Speaker 3: us about your tattoo.
Speaker 14: Wow, I've got the thing you get in the nineties
Speaker 14: when I was sixteen, I've got our tribal aren't band?
Speaker 3: Oh are you in the red hot Chinni peppers?
Speaker 14: I wish. Yeah, it's pretty disappointing to me, mum. When
Speaker 14: I was sixteen, I thought I thought I was a man.
Speaker 14: I just started a trade as a cabinet maker. And yeah,
Speaker 14: really regret it now.
Speaker 12: To be honest.
Speaker 3: And how old are you now, Lewis. You don't sound
Speaker 3: that old.
Speaker 14: Now I'm forty one.
Speaker 3: And how is it aged? That tribal band?
Speaker 12: It's not too bad.
Speaker 14: It's still I cover and up most top most of
Speaker 14: the time. Yeah, I'd like to get it done open,
Speaker 14: but I just can't justify paying someone two hundred bucks
Speaker 14: an hour to go over it. I'd rather buy some
Speaker 14: camping fishing gear.
Speaker 3: Really, I love that the choices in life. It comes
Speaker 3: down to choices. I can get this tribal band looking good,
Speaker 3: I get some camping gear.
Speaker 14: Maniconda, you just wear a long t shirt in your art.
Speaker 3: What you want to do is maybe to see if
Speaker 3: they could turn the tattoo into some camping gear. Because no,
Speaker 3: it's thank you very much. I have a good day.
Speaker 3: Nice sweat, Julia, good morning. He regrets this tattoo so
Speaker 3: much she doesn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Well, Christian Connell's show podcast, Come.
Speaker 3: On in, Julia, Christian, I'm in a Russian the moment.
Speaker 3: Can't call him. I don't have the excuse of being eighteen.
Speaker 3: But I got a regrettable tattoo in my early twenties,
Speaker 3: now my late thirties, paying the price for it getting
Speaker 3: it later off. The process has taken over a year.
Speaker 3: It's not like on the TV shows, and it has
Speaker 3: cost a thousand times more than the original ink. And
Speaker 3: it actually really hurts Happy to send pictures as a
Speaker 3: warning to Ruby, please do jewels, And I would say
Speaker 3: to your daughter, Ruby, think long and hard before you ink.
Speaker 3: Melo works on the show. She's got these amazing tattoos.
Speaker 3: But she said a thing that she did before she
Speaker 3: got one is she got like the the image that
Speaker 3: she wanted to have tattooed, and she put it on
Speaker 3: the wall so she could see it every day for
Speaker 3: a year. And if she's stood in a year's time
Speaker 3: felt the same about it. This has a real meaning
Speaker 3: to me. I'll go and get it done.
Speaker 2: That though, is the thought process of an adult, got a.
Speaker 3: Fully grown brain. But what I might suggest, though, is
Speaker 3: actually saying, okay, right, I'll come with you and get
Speaker 3: it done. Book it for say, four weeks time. Do
Speaker 3: what Mel did, look at it on you all every day,
Speaker 3: and then in four weeks time you still want to
Speaker 3: get it done. We get it booked in, move it
Speaker 3: back four weeks, go and get it done.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea, just four weeks. But didn't she
Speaker 2: already book it in? Wasn't she telling you that it's
Speaker 2: already booked? It's hard, you're raising.
Speaker 3: They get more powerful than you. They're overwhelming. They're just overwhelming.
Speaker 3: It's just relentless, all right. So let's find out what
Speaker 3: are you up to right now? We simply want to
Speaker 3: know the answer to the question, what are you doing

Speaker 17: Truck doesn't work, so I'll pard it when it's dilight.

Speaker 5: here in Geelo on whiting to get loaded with fertilizer
Speaker 5: to transform around the north shore in July on.
Speaker 3: So all right, Richard and we got you back. Have
Speaker 3: a good day, enjoy that party by later on, Yeah, Broer.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the question you know, Carl Show podcast.
Speaker 3: We need to get into a big topic today about
Speaker 3: the one of the greatest games to ever play. Uno.
Speaker 3: Love get about Monopoly. You can destroy a family a
Speaker 3: lot quicker. You can tear a family apart real quick
Speaker 3: with Uno. So when we had our family holiday two
Speaker 3: weeks ago, the great thing was is every day we're
Speaker 3: playing Uno together, right, And this has been like that
Speaker 3: since the kids were a lot younger, but even now,
Speaker 3: almost eighteen and almost sixteen, they still love playing Uno.
Speaker 3: We love playing Uno until you tom to pick up
Speaker 3: eight or twelve and then we hate our family members
Speaker 3: grinning and laughing at us when they all go one, two, three.
Speaker 3: So I shared a photo the other day of my
Speaker 3: daughter right after she'd been made to pick up twelve.
Speaker 3: And I'm afraid to say that this little upstart was
Speaker 3: flipping the bird to me father taking a photo, and
Speaker 3: I'm the guy that laid down there or another four.
Speaker 3: Pick up twelve. Hate to see it, kidder, but pick
Speaker 3: up twelve. And some people take when they're playing games
Speaker 3: really badly. I got great email the other day from
Speaker 3: someone who saw it and said, Christian, my brother, we
Speaker 3: had a huge for out when my brother took go
Speaker 3: into jail and Monopoly really badly. He was he was ten.
Speaker 3: He refused all offers of food and drink, span swore
Speaker 3: at Mom and Dad when they came near him, and
Speaker 3: then smeared the wall with his own feces like he
Speaker 3: was already in jail. We never blamed. Well, whereas who
Speaker 3: knows the game of Kings and Queens clean? Yes, so
Speaker 3: a lot of people saying, though, the big thing we're
Speaker 3: talking about was that I was playing a version of
Speaker 3: Oh no, I didn't know that it is actually against
Speaker 3: the rules you're not meant to It's called stacking, where
Speaker 3: you're meant to go. Everyone knows if you played Uno,
Speaker 3: you got the plus four car for pickup four, but
Speaker 3: you can't then put another plus four on top of that,
Speaker 3: And as I did plus four on top of that,
Speaker 3: I didn't go pick up twelve. It's called stacking. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize it's technically an illegal move.
Speaker 2: I'm sure to know that they're in the actual rules
Speaker 2: of Uno. You're not allowed to start because it's the
Speaker 2: best part of the game, best part putting down a
Speaker 2: draw four and then making and then going double draw four,
Speaker 2: and then the absolute dizzying height of a third draw four.
Speaker 3: It's great because the person that has to pick up twelve,
Speaker 3: they're fuming and it's an individual game, but everybody else
Speaker 3: has come together to destroy this person, especially before that
Speaker 3: they were down to their last card or two, and
Speaker 3: it's not going to go all the way back to
Speaker 3: the start, So one of those sworning? Does anyone else?
Speaker 3: I presume we all play with the stacks all down?
Speaker 2: I think everybody. I'll be shocked if we find anyone
Speaker 2: who's playing by the actual rules of UNO.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just thought these were the rules. So is
Speaker 3: anyone else playing in a different version? The actual rules,
Speaker 3: so we all play stacks, we all go pick up
Speaker 3: a pick up twelve when we play the great Uno.
Speaker 3: The other thing is that we found out is there
Speaker 3: there is actually a UNO World Championships, which are only
Speaker 3: about next with a fifty thousand dollars prize.
Speaker 1: The Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 3: We're talking about one of the greatest card games you
Speaker 3: can play with family and friends. Uno. I just presumed
Speaker 3: it was the rules to play the stack version where
Speaker 3: if someone lays down the pick up four plus four
Speaker 3: and you've got one, you put another one on top
Speaker 3: of that. The next person is going to pick up eight,
Speaker 3: when if they've got a plus four they put that down,
Speaker 3: then the purse is picking up twelve.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should also be able to stack plus two's
Speaker 2: draw two can go on a draw too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bollo way, I've just been reading about the history
Speaker 3: of Uno. It was originally developed just as an idea
Speaker 3: by a hairdresser, a barber and a tiny little suburb
Speaker 3: in Ohio in nineteen seventy one. He just did it
Speaker 3: was trying to work out or game to play with
Speaker 3: family and friends.
Speaker 2: So it's not Italian, no, No, I know, go figure.
Speaker 3: All right, So We were just about asking this morning,
Speaker 3: does everyone else play the Stacks rule where you go
Speaker 3: pick up four, pick up eight, pickup twelve. Apparently it's
Speaker 3: not on the rules, but I just presume that's hound
Speaker 3: we all play because it's crueler and therefore funnier. Ben,
Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning. Yeah, we're good. So do you
Speaker 3: play the Stacks rule? Yes?
Speaker 12: I definitely do.
Speaker 3: Right, so you played, Well, it's plus four plus eight
Speaker 3: plus twelve.
Speaker 12: Yes, so I'm going to saw it. In high school,
Speaker 12: we had a Star Wars Uno deck and there was
Speaker 12: a Mace Window card in it and that was a
Speaker 12: plus ten. And we're doubled the deck, so it's normal
Speaker 12: Uno deck in it as well as the Star Wars
Speaker 12: one and it went round the group twice. One of
Speaker 12: the guys got a plus thirty six.
Speaker 3: You hate to see it. I love to see it
Speaker 3: plus thirty six.
Speaker 2: There's probably enough cards left in the yes deck.
Speaker 12: Well, Well, we doubled the deck, but we pretty much
Speaker 12: just all just went mental and then from everywhere, and.
Speaker 3: Do you know what, I'm happy to say that we're
Speaker 3: probably the only breakfast show in Australa that we have
Speaker 3: a story involve a Mace window onto the show. So
Speaker 3: thank you Ben for that. We'll give you a price
Speaker 3: for bringing about the name. That's him been said in
Speaker 3: about ten years. It is beautiful. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: Shut up, Mace window. Where's he now? Thank you very much?
Speaker 3: She called me no bye, Chris, good morning?
Speaker 16: Yeah morning team. Yes, so yeah, we used to do
Speaker 16: the stacking game during lockdown. It was to go to
Speaker 16: sort of game we know, and we started stacking fours
Speaker 16: and then started stacking twos on top of fours, so
Speaker 16: it was basically all in. But it led to too
Speaker 16: many fights. So we've actually reverted back to the rules
Speaker 16: because everyone either throws that throws their cards in the
Speaker 16: air and storms off, and it can it can lead
Speaker 16: to quite a very especially during lockdown, a very tense,
Speaker 16: very stressful period within the household. So we've all agreed
Speaker 16: that we're going to play by the rules.
Speaker 3: The family. The family, no exactly.
Speaker 16: So yeah, it's much more civilized now.
Speaker 3: So Chris, thank you very much. She killed me.
Speaker 17: I have a good days.
Speaker 2: I was happy with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, class at the stack. We soon to Channel seven.
Speaker 3: Have we got here? Tyrone ye?
Speaker 17: How are you guys?
Speaker 3: We're going? And so are you stacking when you play
Speaker 3: Uno tyrone.
Speaker 17: Absolutely not. You'd you'd be kicked out of the house
Speaker 17: if you do that in my house.
Speaker 3: You can't hack the stack.
Speaker 17: You can't you can't stack.
Speaker 18: So growing up, I had a grandfather who was an
Speaker 18: avid poker player, and when my brother and I used
Speaker 18: to go around, we used to play udo with him,
Speaker 18: and he would play.
Speaker 17: Strictly to the rules, and he would actually he would
Speaker 17: actually do the points and everything. And if we yeah,
Speaker 17: there's a full point system.
Speaker 18: That you're meant to do, and how many cards you
Speaker 18: got left in your hands, and each the wild card
Speaker 18: and that pay fifty points, and then any other picture
Speaker 18: card is twenty points, and every other number part card
Speaker 18: is just people.
Speaker 3: You really know how to kill fun, don't they about
Speaker 3: Mitchell plays like that as well?
Speaker 2: Their grandchildren granddad probably won all your pocket money as well.
Speaker 18: There was actually whether we could go to bed, stay
Speaker 18: up late or not, but we always us end up
Speaker 18: a bit early. But then I used to go play
Speaker 18: with friends and they used to play the stack rule
Speaker 18: and I used to no, no, no, you can't play
Speaker 18: like that.
Speaker 17: Well what's that's that's not the rules?
Speaker 3: Knife? Who really are sticklers for reading that inside of
Speaker 3: the lead. Hang before we start, guys, it's just let's
Speaker 3: see what the rules says he. I hate those people.
Speaker 3: Just start playing the game as your own brook.
Speaker 17: He used to pull out that big piece of paper
Speaker 17: that used to fold.
Speaker 8: Out, and.
Speaker 3: Why they stop putting in?
Speaker 18: Further, the only reason why I know about this is
Speaker 18: because I actually have to read those rules for my
Speaker 18: partner because.
Speaker 17: She craps it if we play it and we play
Speaker 17: it my way. He's just not happy about it.
Speaker 12: What do you mean you can't put it too on
Speaker 12: a quorl You.
Speaker 2: Think now you got to start stuck in, get some spots.
Speaker 17: Yes, that rules all the time. Rules make games fun.
Speaker 3: Guys, Come on like your granddad.
Speaker 17: Reason on the way.
Speaker 3: I am thanks you cool tyro own very funny.

Speaker 3: to a little chap and started filming him. He was
Speaker 3: probably around five meters away from me, and I said
Speaker 3: to him, hey, little fella, what are you doing? What
Speaker 3: are you doing? He charged me and not me a

Speaker 3: music means to you. And a lovely little Roxy there
Speaker 3: winning tickets for her mum. I got this email yesterday
Speaker 3: and again, so email, so many like this, but this
Speaker 3: one really stuck out from Courtney Smith Christian. My mum
Speaker 3: always tells a story with Pride. A few years ago.
Speaker 3: About ten years ago, out of brain surgery. After a
Speaker 3: long time in hospital, Mum had finally come to collect
Speaker 3: me and take me home. It's a really long drive
Speaker 3: back out to country Victoria. The surgery was for my
Speaker 3: epilepsy and the men that part of my front temporal
Speaker 3: lobe had to be removed. This is the part that
Speaker 3: remembers words of names. I couldn't remember the names of
Speaker 3: my family and friends, or even basic words. You know
Speaker 3: that thing that you sit on with legs was me
Speaker 3: trying to think of a chair. As we began to drive,
Speaker 3: the severity of the memory loss became very apparent to Mum, who,
Speaker 3: when I was trying our best not to let me
Speaker 3: see that she was crying, she told me how well
Speaker 3: my cat had been. While I was like wow, I said,
Speaker 3: oh good, I missed her? What was her name? After
Speaker 3: a strange silence in the car, we were listening to
Speaker 3: Gold years Ago and Billy Johles, we didn't start. The
Speaker 3: fire came on without missing a beat. I sang along
Speaker 3: to every single word of the song, word from words
Speaker 3: start to finish. Couldn't remember the name of the cat, family, friends,
Speaker 3: mum and dad, nothing, but I knew every single word
Speaker 3: of the song, and with that, my mum knew that
Speaker 3: everything was going to be okay. Currently, this is such
Speaker 3: a lovely story. I will find you a pair of
Speaker 3: tickets for you and your mum. It's a great story.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show, Vodka Busy show.
Speaker 3: Today. I feel so bad. We haven't even had time
Speaker 3: to really share the findings that we found out about
Speaker 3: Captain Bird's Eye. How for three crazy years from ninety
Speaker 3: eight to two thousand and one, they went with a
Speaker 3: beardless captain to give him more of a younger edge,
Speaker 3: and then had to go back to the old bearded feller.
Speaker 2: And he took a year off.
Speaker 3: You said as well sacks in the seventies for a
Speaker 3: year they thought they didn't need the captain, but you
Speaker 3: need the captain.
Speaker 2: There's a whole Netflix series in there about the Captain.
Speaker 3: Promise you tomorrow, we'll clear the decks. Even if we
Speaker 3: have the drop songs, won't drop the abras. Obviously we're
Speaker 3: not crazy, we're droped songs to bring you a deep dive,
Speaker 3: A deep dived into Captain Bird's eye. Anyway, Patsy, what's
Speaker 3: been going on with you out west?
Speaker 7: You know what amazes me how the love God usually
Speaker 7: has a sleep on there on the armchair about seven
Speaker 7: at night, falls asleep, well every night, every night.
Speaker 3: It's a bad habit of his.
Speaker 7: Is that pre dinner or post dinner either or usually
Speaker 7: post usually got surprise some of that.
Speaker 2: She just pretends to be a sep.
Speaker 3: To not eat it.
Speaker 7: But he'll fall asleep with the remote control in his hand,
Speaker 7: and it's usually some stupid show that he is watching
Speaker 7: on Netflix that Audrey and I aren't into.
Speaker 2: But even though he's asleep, it's.
Speaker 7: Like his body.
Speaker 3: Riga mortars, like a brave, beautiful lion where this poll
Speaker 3: on the bone.
Speaker 7: So you sort of creep over to steal the remote of.
Speaker 3: Him, commando, crawl, stir, stir him, but he just he's.
Speaker 7: Fast asleep and the head's like back and his mouth's open,
Speaker 7: but he's still got this vice grip on the remote.
Speaker 3: So last night.
Speaker 2: Pulling the sword out of the store, it was.
Speaker 7: That bad last night, I kid you not. I had
Speaker 7: to put my foot I did on the side of
Speaker 7: the chair to sort of plunge out, so yeah, to
Speaker 7: gain some traction, and anyway, I came back and kind
Speaker 7: of popped out of his hands. But then he classically
Speaker 7: sues was was watching.

Speaker 5: Well, I wasn't sure that wasn't claim to fame, but
Speaker 5: I think it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's all about the Fredo frog today. So
Speaker 3: what was your claim to fame?
Speaker 5: It wasn't really a claim to sign. It was just
Speaker 5: I thought it was a coincidence. She said, her father
Speaker 5: love her grandfather made it. My grandfather made the mold.
Speaker 3: Now this is a week one, isn't it. Surely you
Speaker 3: thought that was just a bit of the tool makeup?
Speaker 3: Was the story.
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 3: That is? The kind of story of this feature is
Speaker 3: built upon the very founding fathers of it, the tool
Speaker 3: maker for Fred Frock, Great Pamela, thank you very much
Speaker 3: for calling him. Mate, Thank you, Peter. Hi, there you go,
Speaker 3: Hello Peter. What's your week is going to faint for us?

Speaker 6: watching the Olympic Park in Canada where they filmed the movie,
Speaker 6: and I went to see them during winter and he
Speaker 6: managed to talk the guys into taking me down the
Speaker 6: Bob Slid run which the Jamaicans did.
Speaker 3: And what was it like?
Speaker 6: Terrifying?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks terrifying. You must have been screaming all
Speaker 3: the way down. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, at the beginning, the pilot turned around and said, listen,
Speaker 6: don't be like the Americans. If we tip over, don't
Speaker 6: jump out, which is still a lot of confidence in me.
Speaker 6: But yeah, there's one particular corner there that you go
Speaker 6: around and you cop about six jews and it's only
Speaker 6: for a buying second, but it's a six jers and
Speaker 6: the guy who was piloting it started off three inches
Speaker 6: taller when he first started doing the job.
Speaker 16: But yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was a one off, amazing experience. I'll ever, you know,
Speaker 6: it's not out for the public, so I was very
Speaker 6: thankful for it, but yeah, it was.
