Speaker 4: new tennis friend. It's someone I played against and now
Speaker 4: we're friends.
Speaker 5: Isn't that cute?
Speaker 1: Wow? This one.

Speaker 1: Oh wow, so overd you break?
Speaker 6: Ye're really looking forward to it? What about yourself?
Speaker 1: Well, tomorrow, Sarah and I am celebrating seven years of
Speaker 1: the show. We're having if you ask me, I prefer
Speaker 1: a long lunch to didn't agree. It's just the best
Speaker 1: long lunch. So a long lunch and then on Monday.
Speaker 1: I am a des fan. I've been every year since
Speaker 1: More God the King's Birthday game. What's looking forward to it?
Speaker 1: Two games ago? But if you saw the D's hopefully
Speaker 1: didn't see the dcit smash by wait for Saints, then
Speaker 1: now you know I'm not. I'm not looking forward to game,
Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to the occasion because actually what
Speaker 1: Neil Danaher has done the money that Mayn has raised.
Speaker 1: I think he was raised. He's one of the most
Speaker 1: incredible human beings in the world. So obviously we celebrated
Speaker 1: seven years of the show on Wednesday. So the first
Speaker 1: King's Birthday I went to I'd only been on air
Speaker 1: a couple of days. Hamis McLaughlin was working for the
Speaker 1: first year on the show as our kind of footy correspondent.
Speaker 1: He was initiating me into the great game, and he
Speaker 1: did a great jowe with a lovely guy. He said, look,
Speaker 1: come along and as you said to Neil Dan to her,
Speaker 1: you know you should really find out about this guy.
Speaker 1: So I met now Neil twenty eighteen on King's Birthday,
Speaker 1: and I met his beautiful daughter Beck as well. What
Speaker 1: was incredible. So for the next couple of hours I
Speaker 1: kept seeing Neil walking around everywhere, being with people non stop.
Speaker 1: I was exhausted, simply because we've done a breakfast show
Speaker 1: that day. Nil's incredible, unrelating energy was unbelievable. I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: the energy of the man. Man. Oh incredible, and I
Speaker 1: really hope one day they find a cure. If they will,
Speaker 1: it would because because actually the money that that charities
Speaker 1: raised and Nil's raised, and their whole team there has
Speaker 1: actually is pioneering the research. No one does it more
Speaker 1: around the world than Melbourne. It's all been driven out here.
Speaker 1: I really hope they find a cure one day, and
Speaker 1: it because of what Neil Danna has done. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a legacy that man already had in an amazing career.
Speaker 1: But then to get that diagnosis and to have a
Speaker 1: choice about how's he going to be? I don't know
Speaker 1: if I would Who knows if anything tested like that,
Speaker 1: how you would respond? But is an incredible man Neil Donah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think I would like that. And it's
Speaker 5: just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so Big Freeze is good fun. It's such
Speaker 1: an institution now, isn't it. If were going down the
Speaker 1: side and that, it's a really good day. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. You actually need to be someone
Speaker 1: well known. They don't sound random Christian. One of the
Speaker 1: facts said, too many at lunch took a wrong turning,
Speaker 1: so and next thing he's going down a slide already.
Speaker 6: Got he picked out. You could go as Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1: Has anyone done that in the ten or eleven.
Speaker 6: Years Donny Mercury.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think of Bruce.
Speaker 1: I tell you who did one of the best ones.
Speaker 1: I think the last year was Eric Banners. What was that?
Speaker 1: He can't remember what he did, but I all remember
Speaker 1: he was very funny. He made a joke about nuts
Speaker 1: and that is all you need to win this fifty
Speaker 1: two year old child over all Right, this play a song.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we get into this week's Double Thumbs.
Speaker 3: Up Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.
Speaker 1: It's the Christian O'Connell show. Were doing Double thumbs Up
Speaker 1: now every Friday we go around the team that's me,
Speaker 1: Rio and Pat to talk about the things that we're
Speaker 1: enjoying this week. So if you're looking for a new
Speaker 1: TV shows, documentaries or movies, listen up. We've got some recommendations.
Speaker 1: All right, couple from me finished watching Manhunts, Oh God
Speaker 1: for Bin Larden. This is a three part document mentory.
Speaker 1: I was slightly cautious about watching it because I thought
Speaker 1: would be a very gung ho thank you America for sale.
Speaker 1: It's not that at all. It's an incredibly well made
Speaker 1: and what really makes it brilliant and original is it's
Speaker 1: footage with all the CIA insiders who spent over ten years,
Speaker 1: you know, two different decades, had spanned over painstakingly researching
Speaker 1: and never ever giving up, hoping that one day justice
Speaker 1: would be served on Bin Larden and it happened. And
Speaker 1: they've even got interviews with Rob Wilson, who was the
Speaker 1: swat guy, who the Navy seal that shot beIN Larden,
Speaker 1: and what a great storyteller he is. It is gripping
Speaker 1: stuff and actually at the end it's actually quite a
Speaker 1: sad ending. You know, they talk about, yes, justice was served,
Speaker 1: but at what costs? So many people lost their lives.
Speaker 1: It's actually quite sad at times. It mind me, of
Speaker 1: all the terrorist attacks we had in London, the London
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks in two thousands and all the people that
Speaker 1: lost their lives there. So it's actually quite sat times.
Speaker 1: But it's a moment in our history and it is
Speaker 1: so well made. The ending is actually very moving, isn't it.
Speaker 4: And it's thrilling, like it is a documentary with no
Speaker 4: narrator and my part, you know, how it ends.
Speaker 1: The last episode is actually is the twenty two minutes.
Speaker 1: That's what it was from when they started repelling down
Speaker 1: to helicopters and Toll. They shot him as twenty two
Speaker 1: minutes and you're watching it and you've got goosebumps, you
Speaker 1: can't be breathe.
Speaker 5: Yes, I.
Speaker 1: Didn't realize one of the Blackhawks crashed, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: kidding no, and they just carried on. Yes, this improvised
Speaker 1: and so much chaos happened that they just have to
Speaker 1: deal with that. We didn't know. Yeah, it's on Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's called Manhunt. Can't recommend that enough. Another thing that's
Speaker 1: on a completely different thing is a new Own Wilson
Speaker 1: comedy called Stix. It's a golf comedy. I've seen the
Speaker 1: whole season. It's just started this week. It is very
Speaker 1: fun it's a TV shirt, yeah, for our episodes. I
Speaker 1: love Own Wilson. I wish him and Vince More would
Speaker 1: do more movies together. Yes, Whending crashes, I was hoping
Speaker 1: it was going to be a series of movies with differences,
Speaker 1: because I thought those two were just gold to the
Speaker 1: other cinemat to God, they're so good. Own Wilson. Here
Speaker 1: it's back in a comedy shirt. It's very funny. He's
Speaker 1: a washed out golf instructor and he finds some young prodigie.
Speaker 1: It's really funny. Sticks is very good. That's on Apple TV. Rhea,
Speaker 1: what are you enjoying?
Speaker 4: I watched the Australian story on Monday night for Ange
Speaker 4: posta Cooglo.
Speaker 1: I've got that saved, as we used to say back
Speaker 1: in the day, got it on my VHS tape. So
Speaker 1: watch over the weekend.
Speaker 5: I urge you to watch it.
Speaker 4: It'll make you proud to be Australian because what he's achieved,
Speaker 4: and it's.
Speaker 1: Flown under the radar, hardest league in the world with
Speaker 1: one of the worst team of chokers as well, Tottenham.
Speaker 4: Yes, such a long history, haven't won a European trophy
Speaker 4: in forty years. He takes them over. This's never been
Speaker 4: an Australian coach in the EPL.
Speaker 5: Takes them over.
Speaker 4: And they are doing terribly last year there almost bottom
Speaker 4: of the table, almost being relegated.
Speaker 5: He's a laughing stock.
Speaker 4: And then he says in the bottom of their bottom
Speaker 4: he says, I always win a trophy in my second
Speaker 4: year and he's he did it.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing story. You should be and Andre is
Speaker 1: an incredible character as well. And that is the hardest,
Speaker 1: most brutal league in the in the world. The epl
Speaker 1: the richest one, but the hardest one. He's had a
Speaker 1: really tough two years. Plus there's no guarantee that he
Speaker 1: doesn't get fired in the next week.
Speaker 5: Yes, he still might get fun Daniel Levy.
Speaker 1: Has fired so many managers are they just it's brutal
Speaker 1: And is a great guy. He's got a lot of
Speaker 1: dignity and integrity as well. Even if he does get
Speaker 1: fired as well, he'll go into another top job in Europe.
Speaker 1: Tell you what those lads play for. Ang is very
Speaker 1: very clear and he's brilliant the press conferences, he's like
Speaker 1: a crumpy old man. Yes, the poor guy should put
Speaker 1: up with these relentless dumb questions from UK sports.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't suffer any fool It's from Pyne, you know,
Speaker 4: grew up in Yeah really Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, so it's a good watch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great watch, really moving and a story

Speaker 1: a mere walk through. However, is sport anything can happen.
Speaker 1: You have a ten goals over them. Yes, so if
Speaker 1: they get ten or more goals, you don't go to
Speaker 1: the World Cup next year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just need to not completely ruin everything.
Speaker 1: It was an amazing goal actually, and also the ital
Speaker 1: the scorer hasn't scored an international goal in like years,
Speaker 1: what a moment. I think it's twenty twelve was the
Speaker 1: last goal he scored for Soccarus and he got it carrier. Well,
Speaker 1: that's a lovely term. By riding by Gray the cut
Speaker 1: back that churry got here. There's bitch, they've got it.

Speaker 1: Thirteen years twenty twelve to the World Cup in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. What a story. Yeah, it made such great news.
Speaker 5: Most people wouldn't have seen it.
Speaker 4: If you're up now, you probably wouldn't have stayed up
Speaker 4: for it because it was on at Perth.
Speaker 1: I think also most people didn't realize that the SOCC
Speaker 1: crews are playing last night and it really was a
Speaker 1: must win game. Japan had already qualified so they were
Speaker 1: already going through. It's amazing socck crews are going to
Speaker 1: World Cup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially for Australia, like we you know, we went
Speaker 4: a very long time never making it into a World Cup.
Speaker 4: So when we actually get there, I still get. It's
Speaker 4: such a massive feeling to be there.
Speaker 1: You know, seen in England underperform well forever. Actually, every
Speaker 1: single World Cup I've seen is still like it's it's
Speaker 1: the biggest sports tournament in the world. Yes, he's just
Speaker 1: got to be there. You just need your team to
Speaker 1: be there. It's a festival a sport. The World Cup
Speaker 1: is like nothing else on earth. It's an incredible show.
Speaker 1: The fact that you're going to be there is amazing news.
Speaker 1: And actually next years so it's America, Canada and Mexico,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I really would love to take the show there.
Speaker 1: I'd love to be there following the soccer rus. It's
Speaker 1: an amazing result. The other thing I noticed as well
Speaker 1: is that I love it when players kick a goal.
Speaker 1: They do this some footy as well, in anfl You know,
Speaker 1: when they're so sure that it went in they don't
Speaker 1: even check. Oh, yes, he started running right. He knows
Speaker 1: that even though I think he's a left footed player
Speaker 1: and he scored off his right foot, but he must
Speaker 1: have known that he made good enough contact. This is
Speaker 1: going in. He turns and starts running, and I see him.
Speaker 1: He starts then thinking has gone in by the way.
Speaker 1: Then he sees all his teammates running at him and
Speaker 1: the crowd goo berserk. Then he looks back to check, Oh,
Speaker 1: that did go in. You've got to watch it. It's
Speaker 1: a great moment.

Speaker 1: for bloody Hell. I found the winner three days into

Speaker 1: play it, maybe don't say the part what I haven't
Speaker 1: been working in my name? Oh Andrew is not really
Speaker 1: her name. I don't know why I make mistakes on
Speaker 1: this because I'm bread stuffed. William, like everyone else, will
Speaker 1: be answered and this would make my dream not need
Speaker 1: to see Oasis at the iconic Wendley Stadium, also allow
Speaker 1: me to hop on a plane to the UK. It's
Speaker 1: been the top of my one day travelers since I
Speaker 1: can remember. It has taken me four hours to write, rewrite,
Speaker 1: and record six versions of this six versions. I'm turning
Speaker 1: it out. This is more than a waste is put

Speaker 1: made her lunch, and she knows that I love questions.
Speaker 1: I have a huge ongoing It must be about over
Speaker 1: three hundred questions on a big ongoing document I have
Speaker 1: on my Google dogs. I never knew. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: yeah's love questions, right if I over here When I
Speaker 1: read one in any magazine interview, I added to the list.
Speaker 1: There seriously must be about three hundred. She goes to,
Speaker 1: how I've got three questions for you. So we spend
Speaker 1: the next two hours answering these questions, just through them,
Speaker 1: because you know some since when someone asks a great question,
Speaker 1: you tell a story about that, you answer it, but
Speaker 1: actually in their so many more things come out of it.
Speaker 1: It expands. And I was asking her the question. Then
Speaker 1: we would talk about her answer. So during the next
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, if we've got time, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: through these questions. The great first one she asked me,
Speaker 1: what's a moment in your life you'd love to go
Speaker 1: back to. You can't alter it, but you can just
Speaker 1: go back to it and re experience it. And I said,
Speaker 1: a straight away can tell you what it is. And
Speaker 1: it's nineteen ninety six. I'm twenty three. I've just moved
Speaker 1: to London, broke up with a girlfriend that'd have for
Speaker 1: two years. I thought I was going to marry. I
Speaker 1: didn't know anyone in London. I moved to this amazing city.
Speaker 1: But if you don't know anyone, London is a really big,
Speaker 1: lonely city. I don't know anyone there. However, I have
Speaker 1: two dreams. One I want to get into radio or
Speaker 1: I want to be a standup comedian. On a Wednesday
Speaker 1: night in nineteen ninety six, in September, I was doing
Speaker 1: when I first moved to London, I was doing a
Speaker 1: sales job I didn't really enjoy. It was teddy sales.
Speaker 1: You're there with a headset all day, cold calling people.
Speaker 1: Do you want to take out some advertising? And I
Speaker 1: photography vaccine, no hang up, but it was commissioned only.
Speaker 1: This job the best training you could ever do for
Speaker 1: doing what I do now. You had to build instant
Speaker 1: rapport with people. So all day long I'd be trying
Speaker 1: to entertain people and keep them talking on the phone
Speaker 1: so they may take an advert out and I might
Speaker 1: be able to pay rent and get my beer money. Anyway,
Speaker 1: my dream was during the day I had this dead
Speaker 1: end job that wasn't really enjoying, and I would go
Speaker 1: and do what called open mic nights. This is where
Speaker 1: in comedy clubs around London. This is the same all
Speaker 1: over the world. You put your name down a piece
Speaker 1: of paper, you get called up, you do five minutes,
Speaker 1: You get your five minutes, okay. So on a Wednesday
Speaker 1: night in September nineteen ninety six, there was a open
Speaker 1: mic night of the year. It was like a big
Speaker 1: competition and at the end of the open mic night,
Speaker 1: about twenty five wanna bee comedians and I was one
Speaker 1: of them. They're going through, they read out everyone's name
Speaker 1: and the crowd go eh boom, brutal reckon. But you know,
Speaker 1: only twenty three is it. I haven't really got anything
Speaker 1: in my life. I can't be crushed anymore. And you're
Speaker 1: also it's like anything in life. You want to be comedian,
Speaker 1: you want to be on the radio, you're a new pilot,
Speaker 1: you just got to You've got to get your stage time,
Speaker 1: you gotta build at your MR. So I didn't really
Speaker 1: bother me whether I want or loss. Anyway, I won, well,
Speaker 1: what I got was fifty bucks. That fifty bucks I
Speaker 1: didn't spend for two years, and so I was quite broken.
Speaker 1: Didn't need to spend it, and I was devastated. I
Speaker 1: pinned it up on this tiny little bedroom I had,
Speaker 1: in this miserable little bedsit I had in London. I
Speaker 1: won fifty bucks and I remember couldn't sleep that night.
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I thought, just maybe this dreamer
Speaker 1: might be able to happen. And also as another part
Speaker 1: of the price, I got to open for a professional
Speaker 1: comedian that weekend, that comedian Sean Locke.
Speaker 5: Oh you're kidding.
Speaker 1: I opened for Sewan Lot. This is in nineteen ninety six,
Speaker 1: before Seawn Lot became a really really big star. But
Speaker 1: for comedians in the nineties, Sean Locke was like he
Speaker 1: was the comedians comedian. Everyone knew who Sean was. It
Speaker 1: was a very very different stand up, and we're talking
Speaker 1: fifteen odd years before he became known for what a
Speaker 1: great comedian was with eight out ten Cats with Jimmy
Speaker 1: car But yeah, this was in ninety six. I opened
Speaker 1: for Sean Incredible, got to know him, and then about
Speaker 1: six years later he became a regular on My breakfast show.
Speaker 1: And I said, you remember we met before I opened
Speaker 1: for you at the Cosmic Comedy Club. I got fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: That fifty bucks is the best amount of money I've
Speaker 1: ever been given in my whole life. I could desperately
Speaker 1: go back now. I remember just I remember I was
Speaker 1: just walking home at two an hour and a half
Speaker 1: rather get the underground because I was just so happy.
Speaker 1: I was just basking in this glow of light. Wow,
Speaker 1: I actually got given money for jokes. I wanted one day,
Speaker 1: you could I actually get a living out of jokes,
Speaker 1: you know. So, yeah, that's when I go back to
Speaker 1: September nineteen ninety six. Yet the Cosmic Gooday Club. We're
Speaker 1: in that fifty bucks all right? Coming on next Then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask Pats and Rio what's a moment in
Speaker 1: their life they go back to, you can't alter it.
Speaker 1: Why don't you also give me your answers Week.

Speaker 1: greatest amount of money I've ever received in my life.

Speaker 4: dollars fifty and everything it used.
Speaker 1: To be for cash back in the day, didn't it.
Speaker 1: You're right, my first jobs.
Speaker 5: Cash, no paper, trailer for anything back o the day.
Speaker 5: Had never been on a holiday.
Speaker 4: So to buy myself and me and my mate Alex
Speaker 4: and Sophie, we'd saved up throughout the year to just
Speaker 4: try to buy some old crappy van that we could
Speaker 4: maybe do a road trip in.
Speaker 5: It was our dream.
Speaker 4: Alex was a lot more handy than me, so he
Speaker 4: had the skills to turn and a van into like
Speaker 4: a caravan, and we finally saved up enough money we
Speaker 4: bought this absolute crass box.
Speaker 1: We've all owned one of those. Yeah, In fact, we
Speaker 1: should on Monday Show. What was these shipbox you owned?
Speaker 1: Anyone should own a shipbox? Yeah.
Speaker 5: We called it Walter and I don't know how.
Speaker 4: I don't know how Old Wally got his roadworthy certificate.
Speaker 4: Because when you would just hold the steering wheels straight,
Speaker 4: it would veer to the left. So if you wanted
Speaker 4: the car to go straight, you had to actually turn
Speaker 4: it to the right.
Speaker 5: And hold it in a fixed position.
Speaker 4: And we had visions of going all the way down
Speaker 4: to Melbourne from Sydney Pyramid Rock Music Festival, and we
Speaker 4: had this old crappy event and I still remember the
Speaker 4: day Alex pulled that vent up into the driveway and
Speaker 4: we're about to leave, and at the I just wish
Speaker 4: I could go back and shake myself and go treasure
Speaker 4: this moment. Yeah, you know, no time, it was Uni holidays.
Speaker 4: I've got all the time in the world, no appointments.
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't realize at the time, actually, but
Speaker 1: those moments are precious. You don't know what you're in
Speaker 1: at the time. Do you think would it always be
Speaker 1: like this?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: And then later on it like, no spoiler, it isn't
Speaker 1: all of that.
Speaker 4: It's true freedom. We had no money, but we had
Speaker 4: absolute freedom nowhere to.
Speaker 1: Be some of those happiest memories. So when you don't
Speaker 1: have money. When I won that fifty bucks, I was
Speaker 1: flat broke, so in debt, but that fifty bucks meant
Speaker 1: everything to me. It was that gonna be given a
Speaker 1: golden ticket. It was like wanker money.
Speaker 5: Yes, literally, we couldn't believe we have I mean it
Speaker 5: was a six hundred dollars come.
Speaker 1: We're like, we've got our own vent. What you had
Speaker 1: was freedom exactly, and then he wrote, so where did
Speaker 1: you go then? So he left Sydney. Did you make it? Yeah?
Speaker 5: We drove down Christmas night to go to the Boxing Day.
Speaker 1: Test, kidding what an epic road tree. It was.
Speaker 4: Sick we had, we smuggled with syringes. We piped vodka
Speaker 4: into our watermelons into the test match. Then we went
Speaker 4: on to Pyramid Rock Music Festival, and then we literally
Speaker 4: had three or four weeks just cruising down the Great
Speaker 4: Ocean Road coming back, like working our way back up
Speaker 4: the beaches.
Speaker 5: It was, you know, and with your two best friends
Speaker 5: in the world, like just.
Speaker 1: Best of times, aren't they. You've got photos? Yes, we're
Speaker 1: actually Alex so lucky because I regret now no photos
Speaker 1: were I know we moan about smartphones. They weren't. There
Speaker 1: were no smartphones.
Speaker 5: We've actually got physical printed photos.
Speaker 4: So Alex had an old on those old timey cameras
Speaker 4: and they're still my most treasured photo.
Speaker 1: They've won old timey at the time cameras and roadshow.
Speaker 1: This is from the turn of two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: It's an instant camera. Do you know what I bought
Speaker 1: over the weekend. What a polaroid camera. Yeah that prints
Speaker 1: out immediately. Yes, I'm going to bring it in on
Speaker 1: the show. And I've decided that once a week for
Speaker 1: the next twelve months, I'm going to take photos of
Speaker 1: that day show. I got like an actual physical reminder
Speaker 1: because I certain you have all these photos, but they
Speaker 1: live on your phone, yeah, and you never go back
Speaker 1: to them, never go back to them, and they're just
Speaker 1: on your phone. I wanted like the old days of
Speaker 1: like an actual tangible photoe. You look at it, and
Speaker 1: I don't know you the the way you look at
Speaker 1: it is different than I think because the phone, because
Speaker 1: it's instant. It's amazing. I've got some beautiful photos are
Speaker 1: on my phone, but they're just too disposable because you know,
Speaker 1: you can take two hundred more today. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: the same meaning as those old you know, photo albums.
Speaker 1: When you get a photo album out right, you sit down,
Speaker 1: you rush through photo albums. Now you go swipe, swipe, swipe,
Speaker 1: and then all you do is zooming on his face, going,
Speaker 1: oh my god. Photo albums. You sit down and you
Speaker 1: you turn it over and you you start there like
Speaker 1: it it's like a doorway into a story of your
Speaker 1: own life, isn't he go my god, oh my, what
Speaker 1: was I wearing then? Or look at my now is
Speaker 1: no longer with us, but oh my gosh, you look
Speaker 1: so happy there.
Speaker 4: My dad actually still has a slide projector and we
Speaker 4: used to have slide nights where we'd go and sit
Speaker 4: in the lounge room and put up the projector and
Speaker 4: we'd go through.
Speaker 5: You know, all these old slides that you have. Oh,
Speaker 5: I haven't done that in so long.
Speaker 1: You love to next time you go back, get the
Speaker 1: old man, get to leave to get the slidehot. At
Speaker 1: the time, as kids were, oh god, by which now?
Speaker 1: But you killed then? We're gonna ask Patsy in it
Speaker 1: and you answer that this as well. What's the moment
Speaker 1: in your life you'd love to go back to? You
Speaker 1: can't alter it? Where are we going?
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Christian, I loved hearing about your Sean Locke story. I
Speaker 1: loved him on Out of ten Cats, no one made
Speaker 1: Jimmy car laugh harder than Sean Locke. It's true. I
Speaker 1: always want to know that if I ran into you,
Speaker 1: I'd ask about the time you were on Sean's team
Speaker 1: on eighth ten Cats. I was first series of eight
Speaker 1: or ten Cats. I was on Sean's team because we've
Speaker 1: known each other for years, and there was a woman
Speaker 1: on her team as well, and she was like a
Speaker 1: kind of reality style and I remember the filming went
Speaker 1: off about two hours, right, There was quite a long
Speaker 1: sort of filming, and I remember the first half an
Speaker 1: hour our politeness. I kept laughing at this woman's sort
Speaker 1: of comments. They weren't that funny, and then Sew just
Speaker 1: sort of whispers to me, stop doing that. Make them
Speaker 1: work harder for the for the for the laugh, Okay,
Speaker 1: otherwise she's going to lower everything on this team. And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, sorry, sure, stop doing that. Stop
Speaker 1: doing that, make the work harder. He shouldn't get laughs
Speaker 1: like that. You have to earn your laughs on this show.
Speaker 1: All right, Patsy, what's the moment in time you're going
Speaker 1: back to them? You know what?
Speaker 6: I would love to go back to our wedding day
Speaker 6: and when I walked down the aisle and saw Chris
Speaker 6: for the first time, because you know, it was.
Speaker 1: Well not the first time you'd obviously met before, wasn't itbe?
Speaker 6: You know, last There's so much built up to your
Speaker 6: wedding day?
Speaker 1: What year is this?
Speaker 6: So March nineteen ninety nine, March sixth, nineteen ninety nine
Speaker 6: at Williamstown Uniting Church, beautiful old, two hundred year old church.
Speaker 6: And you know there's that anticipation and you see videos
Speaker 6: of it now on social media where the groom turns
Speaker 6: around and is balling because she just looks exquisite and
Speaker 6: Chris did not turn around to look at me. And
Speaker 6: this is not an argument, but this is a debate
Speaker 6: we still have nearly thirty years later.
Speaker 1: Quite often he is up there all talking it.
Speaker 6: He's just not looking back. He's having a joke with
Speaker 6: his brother who was his best man. They're laughing, and
Speaker 6: I thinking, what are you looking at me?
Speaker 5: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Don't you think that's so christen away? Because is it cool? Customers?
Speaker 6: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 5: I want to chuckle.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I said it was whispering to my dad. Why
Speaker 6: is he not looking around?
Speaker 1: Dad?
Speaker 6: What's going on? And we still have this debate?
Speaker 1: I bet you do. That's incredible.
Speaker 6: I've never known that still have this debate.
Speaker 1: And so I still when we're looking around at my one,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, when she was coming down the is it's jeers,
Speaker 1: I always can remember.
Speaker 6: This, yes, And I say to him, now, why just
Speaker 6: tell me? Why did I know we can't take the
Speaker 6: time back? But what was your thinking? And he said,
Speaker 6: because no, But it's justified because he said, I wanted
Speaker 6: to see you for the first time when you were
Speaker 6: standing beside me as my you know, as husband and wife.
Speaker 6: She said, I didn't want to spoil it. I wanted
Speaker 6: you to be right by my side and hold your hand.
Speaker 6: And I think, oh, okay, that's that's.

Speaker 1: talking about hearing your stories as well as Sometimes when
Speaker 1: Tom tells your story from the past, they just tell
Speaker 1: you the story. It's like they're not actually they're not
Speaker 1: in the story. You know, it's something they told a
Speaker 1: few times, so it's almost like it's at arms distance.
Speaker 1: What's lovely though, sometimes when you tell a story and
Speaker 1: you really slow down your pause, you actually go back
Speaker 1: into the story. You live the story and so and
Speaker 1: the details matter. You know, you could have talked about
Speaker 1: the wedding and like our wedding day, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's an imagine moment. The fact that Kris didn't look round,
Speaker 1: you know, and then we're all judging him. And then

Speaker 1: more beautiful. Patsy, It's almost like we're at your wedding,
