<v Speaker 2>By Michael Caine.

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Christian O'Connell's weakest claim to face.

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But that one sort of fell apart a bit, did

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it with upon examination? Like an old art fat that

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>sort of crumbles in your fingers when you hold it

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>up to the light. Wait a minute, Oh right, knowing

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>for one for one O four three, you're weak pain

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to fame?

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Mark, Hey, good morning, Christian, Good morning all.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, my welcome show. And what is your week

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>claim to fame?

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my weakest claim to fame is I once worked

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 4>as a bodyguard and I was able to guard Nicholas

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Cage and his bodyguard while they were in Melbourne filming

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 4>a show. Filming goes right actually, and I was able

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 4>to guard their home while they had a sleep.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So you're a bodyguard who guarded the bodyguard. It's the

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Russian dog of bodyguards and you're the big dog.

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 4>They have to have a rest as well, so it

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 4>was just pretty much disguarded.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.119
<v Speaker 1>But he can't need to rest. What a great question

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.559
<v Speaker 1>guards to bodyguard when he needs to rest? Oh? Man,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>mind does?

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 4>It was an interesting time, so it was a good, good, fun,

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 4>fun job as well. Just had to keep people away

0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 4>from the building pretty much.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and uh so how do you get selected for that?

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas Cage, in my mind, would make you fight ten

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>men while he watched sat on a throne drinking blood.

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I was just.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>A job and yeah, paying conditions.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the boss picked me out and asked me if

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 4>if I do it. I had just recently got the

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 4>bodyguard license a few years back, and yeah, got the job.

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, luckily, no, there was no trouble. But yeah,

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 4>some other exciting things happened on the job elsewhere. Yeah

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>that what Oh no more more just you know pists

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 4>with other other shows and other campaigns. Just regular pists

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 4>or people drunk, drunk and loitering and causing trouble.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>But now tell me about that. I'm fascinated by the

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>bodyguard license. What do you have to do to get

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>qualified as a bodyguard? Because often thought about doing it

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>after the show, so just being a bodyguard for a

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 1>couple of hours sleeping.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 4>It's probably more regulated now, but this is going back regulator.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 1>The regular is not the fun out of it. Bash

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>A few people in those kick a few balls and

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that.

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I would bring some leaterers in if you could finish

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 3>itet practiced.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 4>About twenty years ago. You do like a certificate three

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 4>in security and then there was extra courses to do

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 4>to do bodyguard training as well. But but yeah, it's

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 4>definitely more heavily regulated these days.

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>And what do you use Do you usually use the

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>diamond formation when you're out with the principal?

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, looked there was. There was a lot of

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 4>practical tips in the training.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Defensive driving and evasive driving. I seriously looked into when

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I had daughters, I was like, I might take a bodyguard.

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not joking. I looked into all the modules. It

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was like evasive driving and they were talking about the

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>triangle to protect the principle. I still do this now.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>The triangle were out about put a potential boyfriend in

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>a sleep fold.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 4>The driving would be fun. I didn't do those courses.

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I was more on foot.

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>But what if you needed to get Nicholas Cage out

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>there quickly? And it was just like I didn't do

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the course. It was an one hundred.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Bucks his bodyguard, his bodyguard wake him.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Up with sleeping beauty. It was less.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Regular guy was highly experienced, the really cool bloke.

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right, Mark, great, God, thank you very much.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I send you a prize. Thank you, thank you, Bye bye.

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell Show podcast, Good morning, Simon, Yeah, good.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Morning, Christian. My wickest claim to fame is that and

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 2>now live in the house where James and Vince past

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>band members of Pseudo Echo, grew up.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>There should be a little plaque outside on the walls

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>saying that they should have a different like a colored one,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't they for like rock and music sort of why

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>that building is significant, like your one.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Absolute claims to fame. And I mean the most amazing

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 2>thing is that we've sort of kept it a little

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of a stitch in time, and the garage is

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>still full of all the egg cartons and the soundproofing,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and this is where they sort of grew up rehearsing

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 2>and sound cool. You would have played their funky towns,

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>would have done their all their old old hits sort

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 2>of thing, getting it ready for that time and place,

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, a few quite a few years ago.

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like you were living in a little museum there.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Yes, it's it's it thinks of history in yeah,

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>which is great.

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>That's brilliant. Simon, Thank you very much, you call mate.

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.919
<v Speaker 1>So are you desperate to try and win in the

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>show round at yours with Pseudo Worker to play back

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in that garage.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it'd be a great homecoming for

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>them for them all sort of things. So yeah, we'd

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.160

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Are you ready for it? I had lunch with Johnny Farannham.

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's amazing to get one on one with John Farnham.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 3>When I was eleven eleven years old, I raised the

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 3>most money in my school for underprivileged children and off

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 3>to the Hillton we went for lunch.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Not those underprivileged kids though you can have the old

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>jumbo brawn.

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.200

<v Speaker 3>On here, yeah yeah yeah, but still that was awesome.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 3>I felt like a million bucks.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>But the bill was so obviously is it you and fancy.

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Beg your pardon?

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.279
