Ha's he not too well today's show? 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.960 Perhaps he's been on it again, you know often on Monday, 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:41.280 isn't it you know? I think she was at some 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.159 wineries on Saturday. So when she's back, she's back and 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.000 we're lovely to see her and she can do the news. 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.720 But me and Jackie boy today, jack how was your weekend? 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.559 Yes, we got to the fireworks on Friday night, the 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.760 local soccer club putting on a fireworks display. My son 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.080 sadly didn't make it to eight pm when the fireworks 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.120 shot off, so he missed it. Maybe next year. Why 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.720 he's just too tired. We left him. We left the 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.720 next door neighbor looking after him in Pianco and I 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:08.840 went down and watched it. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.600 So hang on a minute. I thought the whole reason 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.160 you were going to the fireworks was because actually your 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.000 experience the wonderful wars for the eyes of an eighteen 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:16.840 month child. 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.440 Yes, that was the idea, is for him to experience 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:20.160 his So far. 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.480 You palmed off the boy to somebody else so you 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:23.960 could You and your wife couldn'tdraw the forward. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.080 When they're tired. They're tired. There's nothing you can do. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.000 You look at six o'clock, six thirty, like he is 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.040 not going to make it all. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.360 They start getting scratching that they were ready to go down. Yep. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.280 So we're trying to calm him down and keep like, 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.520 if we give him less stimulus, maybe he'll make it 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:37.119 to eight o'clock. 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.080 So it's like a car when the tank goes into 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.720 red and you think, I'll just slow it down and glide. 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.160 Put it in neutral and go down some hills. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.240 But he couldn't drag it out. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.800 He was so he crashed out. But then we had 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.280 already excited ourselves for fireworks. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.200 What were they like? Were they big ones? 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.880 They were great? So these are the guys, Apparently, the 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.200 rumor is they're the guys who do the Melbourne New 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.840 Year's Eve display, but also do the local soccer club 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.600 in the afternoon. I was worried for him because about 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.640 five o'clock in the afternoon is raining sideways awful, the 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.680 wind was. I saw them down the end of the 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.480 park putting up these little marquees. I thought they're going 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.399 to blow away. But the turnout was hugely. I guess 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.880 they got four or five different soccer teams there from 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.920 junior levels right up to adult levels. So there was 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.359 hundreds of people there and the fireworks were amazing. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.360 So how long did they go on? For? Just like 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:23.960 a minute? 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.680 No, no, fifteen minutes? 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:26.000 What? 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.560 Yeah, that stuff costs like that, so what do you 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.600 think they had some left over from that New Year? 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:30.880 Yeah? 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.840 They didn't get set off on the Harbor Bridge or 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.120 in Melbourne. Very good. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.280 And no matter where you see a fireworks display anywhere 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.239 in the world, it's always the same, isn't it. It's 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.360 like start, slow, ramp up. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.440 And then they get I don't know what this is 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.520 called in the firework trade, but the one I like 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.320 is where it's like right, it gets a big one, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.080 like a big round thing, and then a. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.200 Little mini one come off the side of it. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.560 You show me that. I'm like a kid again. What 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.240 that must be called something? It's like the eternal son 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.200 burst I called it? And what it goes? 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.200 The first guy who invented that must have. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.480 Been this is a big one. I think someone first 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.200 of all, just did that one. People would have gone, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.760 that's amazing. And then years later someone goes, no, wait, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.240 it's glass, it's them. And then out of those little ones. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.359 Yeah, so what don't they do it strapped many fireworks 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.680 to the inside of the big one, so it goes trucks, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:19.720 the mini ones up in the air. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.280 I think they have timers now and delays. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.080 Are you reckon? There's a guy with the remote? 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.840 Yeah? I think so. And also the other thing is 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:31.920 did you also do this weapon goes? Ooh? That echoes 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.080 of that, isn't it? What is it about the joy 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.680 of a firework display? You're never Yeah, that's it. You're 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.040 never too old to enjoy one. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.360 The Christian O'Connell show podcast to. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.320 Know how old with you and your wife? But my 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.840 wife a highlight of the weekend minus Friday night, My 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.000 wife says, Sunday. Sunday's a day of doing things. Chris, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.800 we clean on Sundays too, that's right, and I get 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.000 anxious on a Saturday night. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.680 I'm like, my god, what's waiting for me? 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.280 Given I've never given my time us until Sunday morning, 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.200 I think otherwise she knows I'm at risk of flight, 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.000 like I might just run away. Actually, so I woke 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.800 up Sunday and then she was like, actually, do you 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.240 know what, Chris, Today is the day we need to 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.960 do X, Y and Z and one one was My 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.240 job was to get my carcher out and strip away 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.479 all the varnish that she made me put on the 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.480 back deck two years ago. Too dark, Chris, too dark, 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.200 just putting that on and stripping it prepare take it 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.760 all off. So you know, when you start something, you 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.080 know where as this is going to take a lot longer. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.640 I thought. Just stripping away the varnish on that wood 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.680 with the jetwasher right, just to do a small section, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.760 say about one foot by one foot, took about ten minutes. 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.000 Yeah. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.720 I was going to say, not an easy job, and 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:41.279 not just that. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.640 Right, because you got to push, you gotta hold it 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.560 on tracing and then listen to this guy, you gotta 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.120 hold it on.

I reckon? 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:53.840 The last time I had a chat I was a kid, 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.480 and not even that. Having it not at breakfast is 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.040 just an added bonus on top of that. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.960 Someday you get a bit of the old Sunday Blue. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.359 I've now worked out a way finally not no more. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:03.760 You've got bottle of Coco Pops on a. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.320 Goo Christian Connell Show podcast. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.280 One thing with doing some sorting out yesterday is yesterday. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.400 It's another kind of mini landmark in life in Australia 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.480 puts my first ever hard rubbish collection this week. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.120 Oh congratulations, and may I throw some stuff on top jack. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.600 So we dragged a load of stuff out there yesterday 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.280 and when I left for work today at five am, 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.760 there's some stuff on my nature strip that is not mine. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.800 Overnights munchkins have been out dumping stuff on my nature strip. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:33.400 What do you get? 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.600 Do you get a meter bio met?

You see it at the front, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.160 you know. Don't use like a lighthouse when you see 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.920 someone with a small stack. There, I go making that 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.560 with that. I'm coming back at nine o'clock to night, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.680 under cover of darkness. You part slightly down the road, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.120 don't you open up that boot? I even wait for 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.880 a bit, just let the noise of the boot opening 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.360 die down. Then go right go and just thing where 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.680 you look. You couldn't look any more suspicious, and you 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.000 just start looking around constantly. You know, you see a 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.560 dog walk and you make out you live there. I'm 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:30.760 just tiling up this bit here. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.719 And then as soon as you put your item on 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.080 the stack of hard rubbish, you do that walk really 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:36.719 really quickly. It's almost a run. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.280 Yes, you're not running, but you're not you're not hanging 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:50.360 around either, all right, emails, elect to a party. There 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.760 must be a word by the way for that. Not running, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.400 But you're not slow walking? What is it? It's the 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:56.880 thing you do as well. You know when you start 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.600 to cross the road anywhere it's bloody. How that car 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:04.280 is a lot closer. I don't look uncured, spring going right, 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.960 but I cannot maintain this wrong, flattened? 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:08.920 What is that? 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.760 It's not that Olympic power whatever they have. All right, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.360 late to the party. This is a home of your 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.480 emails to the show. Whenever you listen to the show, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.400 you can email whenever you want. Nothing we talk about 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.160 the show has ever left completely dead or behind. Last 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.760 week on the show, we were saying I didn't think 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.000 called never too late. We're talking about people who are 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.600 learning new skills. I bumped into one of our lovely 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.800 listeners yesterday, a man called Gavin, who, over the last 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.520 five years has been learning to hand glide. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.439 Oh wow, hang glide? 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.400 Is it called hand gliding? I don't know what I said, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.360 hand gliding, He guides his hands around. He does that. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:47.599 The window on the thermals. Wow, may I talk about it? 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.520 It was it was incredible. I didn't realize what a 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.000 beautiful thing it is to do where you're all alone 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.439 up there. And he said, he goes over like the 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.800 Grampians and stuff like that, where you can get up 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.199 doing a hand glide. Al right, I'm doing over twenty 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.559 thousand feet. It's something he's above. Planes coming in to 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.800 land at Melbourne Airport, why you can hear them on 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:05.520 the little radio. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.000 What I don't understand is how do you go from 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.679 doing like a tan and say with an expert to 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.400 your first time. I think that about that wingsuit thing 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.480 that they do with Red Bull as well. How do 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.000 you do your first time at that year? 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.000 Is that you can't do work experience? Its suddenly go 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.400 you're doing it your own. Now You've got to fix 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.120 your own problems up there anyway, Okay. Some emails and 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.040 about learning new things in life. Christian, I'm fifty two. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.000 I've been working in the building industry for thirty years. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.640 About five months ago I started to learn Australian sign 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.840 language Osland through expressions Australia. I've been starting a diploma 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.240 in February next year. I enjoyed it so much. It 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.000 is the most rewarding thing I have. Is this amazing 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.959 fifty two I've ever done for myself, and it's so 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.560 nice learning something new. I don't know anyone who is deaf, 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.280 but I've found learning this skill and class environment to 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.280 be so enjoyable. I'm hoping that one day in the 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.400 future I can move into a new vocation allows me 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.640 to use the skill to help other people. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.560 Or that's a lovely a legend I actually have. If 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.559 anybody knows the answer to this, I'd love to know. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.679 Gordy watches an American youtubeer kids presenter, right, and she 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.199 teaches a lot of sign language. But I said to Bianca, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.400 I think he's learning the wrong sign language, because I 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.200 think Australia has their own one. Is Osland mean Australian 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:18.920 sign langues? 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:20.040 Yeah? 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.240 It must be, so is it vastly different to what 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.120 the rest of the world uses or what America? 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.199 Great question you need to find out otherwise using a 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.199 turn up, whether all these American words he gets to 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.760 school a couple of years time, Christian or this is 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.280 a show last week about learning new skills. I've been 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.600 a nurse in neonatal intensive care since nineteen ninety nine 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.920 and I've recently suspended my registration. Today I passed my 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.800 final on road assessments after six weeks of full time training. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.320 I am now a tram driver at the grand old 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.679 age of fifty three. That is incredible. Lovely Kaitlin and 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:52.960 Croyd and thank you very much. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.719 Well Christian Connell's show podcast. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.320 Christian. One of the best fire wors dis players I've 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.440 ever seen was in Ecuador in a little town sillabating 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.240 some local history, but the fireworks display was set up 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.840 on a small wooden boat. My life and I didn't 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.280 watch much of the display were too busy. The three 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:14.000 dudes running around a tiny boat, handlighting each What a 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.280 show within a show, handlighting each firework tube on a 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:19.680 one key wooden boat. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.400 You wouldn't think wooden fireworks go together either. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.719 Is that a Viking pie like a funeral boat that 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.480 could have easily turned into so lovely Hearing all these 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.480 retting out your emails about people who were learning skills 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.640 later on life, not the person who's been working in 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.319 the building industry for thirty years now learning Osland Australian 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.280 sign language. And Jack has a good question, Right, so 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.000 your son watches a YouTuber. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.199 Yes, she's American and part of the things that she 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.160 teaches is sign language. So I know how to say Mama, Papa, grandmother, grandpa. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.120 But I'm not sure if I'm learning an American one 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.200 and Gord's learning an American one because Osland signifies as 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.880 his own silanguage. Yeah. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.840 I've never thought about that. VICKI, Hi, go on, VICKI, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:02.839 what can you tell us about this? 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.319 I just thought it was interesting. I did sign language 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.839 some time ago, and my son, who's now eight, is 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.040 studying is studying its part of his school curriculum. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:14.400 Yeah. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:19.320 Yeah, it's great. And he actually started doing two different 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.240 like he's It was almost I said to him, he's 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.480 learning two different types. He goes, yeah, there are two 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.559 different dialects within Australia, so it is a northern dialect 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.800 and a southern so and it was. I looked it 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.680 up as well, and on the one of the Deaf 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.040 Australia websites that has that there are actually two different dialects, 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:44.839 so motary no and ivid did I and so that 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.520 was interesting, and then someone else taught me that American 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.880 apparently uses one hand. I didn't know that they used 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.760 one hand to sign the alphabet, I think, whereas we 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:57.040 used two. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.000 Yeah. And English Sign language, well yeah, those Americas, they're 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.480 so lazy, aren't They just got one to do it? 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.240 So VICKI, which one should we learn? I would love 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.120 to teach Gordy sign language. I would love to learn 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.320 myself with Northern dialect Southern dialect, Well. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.560 Well we're deemed under the under the Southern, so yeah, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.360 I guess that one, but I didn't know it was two. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:20.960 I found that out. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.040 Even variety in between, say light for essay as well. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.560 Obviously it's palmehre and palma there. Does it even break 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.080 down like that? 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:31.480 Probably? 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.320 I used to live in South Australia and I used 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.080 to think I was from another country, so it's possible. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.920 But yeah, so it's just interesting. But it's like we've 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.520 I guess with Italian, you have northern southern dialects as well, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.440 so it's the same kind of thing. But yeah, but 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.320 either way, anyone, I think anyone who's there would appreciate 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.440 anyone trying to communicate with them. I'm trying to get 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.480 back into it myself. So yeah, times when your kids 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.960 can say happy Mother's Day and Happy Father's Day in 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.520 like in Sielang, which it's nice. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:04.840 Yeah, it most we want to think of that. We 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.880 should all have a bit of a communicate with anybody 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.680 and everybody. VICKI thank you very much for coma.
