Speaker 2: then they clamped the eyelid shut and then they jamp
Speaker 2: into it. They didn't then anyway, they did a great job.
Speaker 2: And then then I had this patch that would work
Speaker 2: for a couple of hours to stop the bleeding, and
Speaker 2: it was a massive eye patch, and then taped it
Speaker 2: to my face. Then had to go and pack and
Speaker 2: of course with apple you know that I didn't have
Speaker 2: my wallet with me. It took ages because there's suddenly
Speaker 2: I'd be replaced by one eyed fief.
Speaker 1: It's almost biblical. Yeah, it's a pirate. I'm like, how
Speaker 1: am I going to do this?
Speaker 2: I can't take this eye patch off and bleed all
Speaker 2: over the county exception all right, So this week on
Speaker 2: the show, the big thing we're asking from you is
Speaker 2: please support an amazing charity. It's called Backpacks for vic Kids.
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of weeks we've asked you this before.
Speaker 2: We've raised almost half a million dollars for this important
Speaker 2: charity thanks to your huge donations. This charity shouldn't exist,
Speaker 2: but they do and they're really needed this year more
Speaker 2: than ever. Children who had taken out of a dangerous
Speaker 2: home situation, often in the middle of the night. They
Speaker 2: don't have anything. They're scared, they're vulnerable. Listen to this.
Speaker 2: Does charity give them a backpack. In the backpack, it's
Speaker 2: stuff that you and I would think is basic for child.
Speaker 1: These children do not have anything.
Speaker 2: It's a blanky, it's pens, it's papals, it's a toothbrush.
Speaker 2: We've heard from charproection officers who've used these backpacks and
Speaker 2: tell you that the kids get excited about just seeing
Speaker 2: a blanket or even a toothbrush. It's as desperate as that,
Speaker 2: but you must hang on to hope. The thing is
Speaker 2: the more money we raise, the more backpacks they can
Speaker 2: get the children of Melbourne, and so we're trying to
Speaker 2: raise By the end of the week, I'd love to
Speaker 2: tell them that we've got one hundred thousand dollars. We're
Speaker 2: almost we're almost halfway there. We started this Monday morning
Speaker 2: at eight am. We're up to forty seven thousand, five

Speaker 11: So of course I went to the museum to Triceratops
Speaker 11: is there.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that young kids are still getting their minds blowing.
Speaker 2: My dinosaurs amazing. I still remember when I saw one
Speaker 2: that the British National History Museum. It used to be
Speaker 2: this massive one. As you walked in it was a
Speaker 2: couple of hundred feet long, and it was so impressive.
Speaker 2: I still remember it now loved it.
Speaker 11: It's like this was a trust serratops once. It's a
Speaker 11: real one. They dug it up in Montana sixty seven
Speaker 11: million years ago. It died and they dug it up
Speaker 11: a couple of monell They.
Speaker 2: Are trainees back then, sixty seven.
Speaker 11: Million years years but it's a crowd.
Speaker 1: It's so cool.
Speaker 9: So I saw what we saw that, and then on
Speaker 9: the way home, he's sort of.
Speaker 1: Starting to fall asleep.
Speaker 9: I'm like, oh no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: It's like four o'clock.
Speaker 11: I've got a massive long night ahead of me if

Speaker 2: It's waking me up, big stirring score. I'm true, that's
Speaker 2: not Max.

Speaker 2: Saying subtext because four year olds are big on subjects. Yeah,
Speaker 2: as he said, I'm not I'm not Dad, but I
Speaker 2: told Bonnie about it. When we get homes he guaisd.
Speaker 1: Is that suitable for four year olds? I mean, fair question, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that particular things?

Speaker 2: wake up with one. All right, text me your mid
Speaker 2: week school. How's your week going so far? Four seven
Speaker 2: five three one oh four three.
Speaker 4: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Everyone's who's been donating this week on Monday show.
Speaker 1: We' oldy that are very good friends.
Speaker 2: Great charity here in Melbourne called Backpacks for VIC Kids
Speaker 2: really need much needed funds so they can meet Sandy
Speaker 2: the huge demand for these backpacks from vulnerable children right
Speaker 2: here in Melbourne. Backpacks of It Kids then were set
Speaker 2: up about ten years ago in Sandy Beard. She did
Speaker 2: foundered the whole thing in her kitchen and it's an
Speaker 2: amazing charity. When children are taken from a dangerous home situation,
Speaker 2: often in the middle of the night, they don't have anything,
Speaker 2: they don't have much selling by selling it sometimes and
Speaker 2: when they are taken, the kids just to have a
Speaker 2: t shirt or their shorts on.
Speaker 1: They don't have any belongings.
Speaker 2: And so this backpack, in this backpack that the charity
Speaker 2: mates up, it's got basic things like a blanky, it's
Speaker 2: got coloring pens and a notepad, it's got a toothbrush,
Speaker 2: basic stuff that actually isn't basic to these young kids.
Speaker 2: And so we want to try and get as many
Speaker 2: of these backpacks into these children's arms as possible. Who
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to make that happen. So they need as
Speaker 2: much money as we can raise. I'm really hoping if
Speaker 2: we can give the charity one hundred thousand dollars by
Speaker 2: the end of.
Speaker 1: This week, that would be amazing.
Speaker 2: At the moment I'm looking at the page, if you
Speaker 2: head to The Christian O'Connell's.
Speaker 1: Show dot com dot au.
Speaker 2: It's forty nine thousand, one hundred and fifty so we're
Speaker 2: just around about, you know, almost seven hundred dollars ago
Speaker 2: until we hit the halfway mark with the fifty thousand,
Speaker 2: which will be incredible. Please donate whatever you can at
Speaker 2: the Christian o'connells Show dot com dot au. When you donate,
Speaker 2: you get the option to leave a message a message,
Speaker 2: and we're reading out all your messages and moreportantly your names.
Speaker 2: Small thing for us just to say thank you for
Speaker 2: your donation, whatever it is. One thing that's really made
Speaker 2: me upset this week, even though I've asked you not
Speaker 2: to do it, is people who ever donate tonight ten
Speaker 2: dollars are saying sorry, wish I could give more. Please
Speaker 2: don't do that. That ten dollars is obviously a lot
Speaker 2: to you right now. Whatever you can give is an
Speaker 2: act of generosity. It's not about how much you can give.
Speaker 2: It's about the simple fact that you care enough to
Speaker 2: give and that charity you have told me right, for
Speaker 2: every one dollar we donate, they turn it into four
Speaker 2: dollars worth of actual value. So your ten dollars is
Speaker 2: forty dollars, which is almost half a backpack.
Speaker 1: So it's a hell of a lot.
Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of people listening,
Speaker 2: and so what we're going to do is there's probably
Speaker 2: quite a few of you thought, well, it's been embarrassing
Speaker 2: if we go on there, or maybe you've been on there,
Speaker 2: you've seen people donating various amounting. Well, I don't want
Speaker 2: to just go on there and look like I don't care.
Speaker 2: Ten dollars is a lot to me right now. No,
Speaker 2: ten dollars. That's that's all I want for the next hour.
Speaker 2: We're opening up now, it's only ten dollar donations. The
Speaker 2: ten dollar Hour, I want ten dollar donations from as
Speaker 2: many of you as possible. No apologies, I'm just asking
Speaker 2: for ten dollars. I think actually we could raise quite
Speaker 2: a bit of money to the next hour just from
Speaker 2: a load of ten dollars. I came in this morning,
Speaker 2: I said to team, this is what we're gonna do,
Speaker 2: the ten dollar Hour up until half eight this morning,
Speaker 2: I said, Rio, can we think of a song that's
Speaker 2: got ten in the title. So I remembered the Barbie
Speaker 2: movie and Ken Paul Rio. The last hour and a
Speaker 2: half he's been contorting a lot of information into a
Speaker 2: very unique cover version from the Barbie movie of Ken.
Speaker 1: Just give ten, Just give ten, whether.

Speaker 2: going to have you know, watch the disease. Check out
Speaker 2: the pds to check if it's right for you.

Speaker 2: with cancer. She was loved by many. I'm sorry to
Speaker 2: hear that, Danny. However, she had one clear request, no wake.
Speaker 2: Many people came to a service. Afterwards, we decided to

Speaker 2: as awake.
Speaker 1: You're right, you don't, you don't, you don't want to,
Speaker 1: you don't upset? Stay with me? What are the odds?

Speaker 2: when he felt like Mum was having a cheeky laugh
Speaker 2: with us, she knows you're on that.
Speaker 1: No Wake, She said to you, you don't mess with
Speaker 1: the Zura.
Speaker 2: You can mess with the Zohan, but not the Zora,

Speaker 2: cisc got.
Speaker 1: Pipped, bluddy rummy Gody. Hell, Christian, just you know.
Speaker 2: The saying wouldn't know them from a bar of soap
Speaker 2: originated in Australia around nineteen thirty eight, appearing first in
Speaker 2: print in a cartoon by Stan Cross for Smith's Weekly Patsy.
Speaker 2: You've got that issue, haven't you? Probably in the other
Speaker 2: day showed me. Actually, she said it's almost done. The
Speaker 2: cross word I's been working on a reviews just two
Speaker 2: words sure. The phrase, which means to not recognize someone
Speaker 2: at all, suggest a person is unfamiliar as a blank,
Speaker 2: unrecognizable bar of soap. A really me put that, Peter,
Speaker 2: thank you very much. I'm actually I've always thought that
Speaker 2: we should do this right, is have a weekly feature
Speaker 2: on the show oz Slang where we actually make a
Speaker 2: note because there's so many of these, and when I
Speaker 2: moved here, I did start to put a note of
Speaker 2: them in my phone because it was like learning a
Speaker 2: new language, because all these phrases that I had never
Speaker 2: heard before. That is a new one for me. I've
Speaker 2: never heard that one before. But maybe tomorrow we open
Speaker 2: up for the first time ever the the oz Slang
Speaker 2: where we can actually keep these great sayings because otherwise
Speaker 2: some of them will just they just fade.
Speaker 1: Out, won't they They need to be preserved Rio.
Speaker 6: And it's good to learn a history of them, because
Speaker 6: I mean, we say them our whole last we actually never.
Speaker 5: Know no they come from all what they mean?
Speaker 1: Really, Christian, I've just had a live what are the odds?
Speaker 1: Sound the collects and we don't have one.

Speaker 16: at camping Glenelg River and the kids are there and
Speaker 16: they're looking at the rope hanging off the tree and
Speaker 16: thinking I wouldn't mind having to go of that, And
Speaker 16: I said, look, you've got to be very careful when
Speaker 16: you do that. A couple of years ago or ten
Speaker 16: or so years ago, guy, I did it, swung out right,
Speaker 16: wrapped aroundy lot of limb. So oh she was no
Speaker 16: good anyway, The next next minute, guy's going past the boat.
Speaker 16: It's the guy that lost the limb.
Speaker 1: Oh, God, you've got to be kidding me, Marty. I
Speaker 1: don't know about your story. The producers said to.
Speaker 2: Me, Marty's kept with is one of the moose wild
Speaker 2: stories we're ever going to hear.
Speaker 16: And I wouldn't have seen this guy for ten years more.
Speaker 16: And anyway, the funny thing is, he went past the
Speaker 16: boat and I reckon. Two weeks later, I've seen him again.
Speaker 16: He was walking around with his wife pushing the pram.
Speaker 10: But the.
Speaker 16: There was a big story at the time when it happened,
Speaker 16: and I think mate, his mate started having a going
Speaker 16: and calling him Clock. I think it was that he's nicknamed.
Speaker 1: So he lost it, he lost a limb.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so you have to do swing on these, right, remember.
Speaker 1: Them from the trees over a river?
Speaker 16: Yeah, creek did it many many times. I did it
Speaker 16: all the time. There was a group and they used
Speaker 16: to always go in and yeah, wrapped around his limb
Speaker 16: and basically ripped it off from from the elbow.
Speaker 5: So you hear these stories, your parents.
Speaker 2: Stories, and they're always grim one people like losing ahead
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: But actually, but then to see him again, it was.
Speaker 16: Only young yan kid. Don't think he's a or something
Speaker 16: like that. But it was not black and obviously went
Speaker 16: back and tried to play footy and all that sort

Speaker 17: Oh thank you.
Speaker 15: When I was a little boy, coming up towards Christmas time,
Speaker 15: I was begging my mum for.
Speaker 17: A pet and mouse. I had mice previously and I
Speaker 17: loved the little things. Now she was Adam and I
Speaker 17: wasn't getting one. I kept begging and begging and begging.
Speaker 17: A few days before Christmas comes around, I'm snooping under
Speaker 17: the tree and I find this little box with the
Speaker 17: corner that looks like it's been chewed out, and I
Speaker 17: take it up to Mom.
Speaker 15: I'm like, no, what's this?
Speaker 12: What's this?
Speaker 15: She goes, oh, look, I got to a mouse for Christmas,
Speaker 15: but it looks like it's escaped. So I spend the
Speaker 15: next few hours pulling the room up.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 15: I'm pulling draws out of cupboards and whatnot. And I
Speaker 15: get to the computer desk and I pull out the
Speaker 15: bottom drawer and lo and behold, I find a little
Speaker 15: mouse under there, and I'll catch a little bugger. He
Speaker 15: wasn't easy to catch, but I managed to get him
Speaker 15: and I put him in my mouse cage and I'm
Speaker 15: playing around with him, and my mom walks past and goes,
Speaker 15: what are you doing? I go, I found the mouse.
Speaker 15: I'm playing with the mouse. And she goes, what mouse
Speaker 15: like the one you got me for Christmas? And she goes, who.

Speaker 15: Have a good day, gays.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks coming on the show. All right, there's this,
Speaker 2: Go and look at the scores on the doors. An
Speaker 2: hour ago, I decided to turn the last hour into
Speaker 2: the ten dollars hour. I noticed that when we've been
Speaker 2: asking for donations for Backpacks of It Kids. This is
Speaker 2: a beautiful charity that really need help to meet the
Speaker 2: unprecedented demand for these poor children that are rescued and
Speaker 2: taken from unsafe home and vironments. This chouity Backpacks of
Speaker 2: It Kids. It's number one goal. It's to give as
Speaker 2: many backpacks. In each backpack and it takes one hundred
Speaker 2: dollars to put one together, are a load of essential
Speaker 2: items for these vulnerable children. You talking blankets, pens, toothbrushes.
Speaker 2: It sounds really basically it isn't.
Speaker 1: To these kids.
Speaker 2: It makes a huge difference in the moment when they're
Speaker 2: scared and overwhelmed, just that someone has put together something
Speaker 2: that says that they matter and that someone is thinking
Speaker 2: of them, has got their back. So we're trying to
Speaker 2: raise as much money as we can in Rio. What
Speaker 2: are the scores or the doors we end the ten
Speaker 2: dollar hour?
Speaker 6: Sixty one thousand, seven hundred and eighty dollars ten thousand.
