Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: What is in your hurt Locker? Everyone has something that

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: happened to them in their life buried deep down in

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: their hurt lockers. Often it's something that happened in childhood.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: No one gets out of childhood unscathed. For me, what's

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: in my hurt locker? I need to take you back

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: to the ten year old Christian O'Connor. Right, I loved chess.

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: Chess was my game, and enthusiastically I thought that other

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: young boys my age and girls at my school would

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: love to join me and a weekly chess club. I

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: hadn't finished. During the lunch break, I enthusiastically enthusiastically put

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: up posters around the school. Come Thursday for the first

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: ever chess club, no one came. Oh guess worse A

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: teacher was always a teacher that was on lunch break

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: duty who were to take it in turns walk past

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: and asked me what was doing still in the classroom.

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: I said, I haven't you seen the posters?

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: You'd seen them chess club and come? He sat down

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: played chess. No, it just doesn't have an happy ending

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: because the older boys saw this and were banging on

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the window and you know, saying stuff like loser and

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Hello darkness, a young boys heartbreaks checkmate.

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I have never played chess sex.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: Chess.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: I was getting quite triggered with the whole silver lighting box.

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: He's in that loop with that scene. That was me.

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm back there, those boys banging on the window, Patsy,

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,240

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: Locker?

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: All I can say to that Christian is where are

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: they now?

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 5: They're not well?

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Very well?

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 5: And where am i?

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I lost five radio awards on the weekend.

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: I'm back there. Where are they now? Successful?

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Dutting out? Pas? Sorry? I thought I was class from alone,

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: but see.

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: My hurt like a moment. I was about fifteen and

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I was a sure thing for this. I was a

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: highland dancer champion. Of course I was good. I was

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: really good. You wouldn't think it now, but I could

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: tear up.

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: That dance floor in a highland stay. Yes.

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, My my pet event was a sword dance. A

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: lot of people really feared the sword dance because it

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: was a real sword. It wasn't sharp obviously, what are

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: you laughing at?

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: Jack? But I just love all the highland dancers and

51
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and also pat you won like trophies and state championship

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: high level.

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 2: Danced overseas so very good.

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: What do you do with the sword?

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: I've got it?

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: No, no, what do you do now? What did you

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: do during the dance?

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: Danced over she chops up, sort of meets with it.

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: Now, danced over it.

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: Jack.

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: It was quite hard anyway, so I was a sure

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: theater shoeshot.

63
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean I could jump over absolutely.

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Nothing tricky about that, all right, you know it was

65
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: standing over a sword then going backwards.

66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: Oh really, all right? You know what, I'm going to

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: put a challenge to both of you. Drive in with

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: I have my sword.

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: The west gate. Ye, police, be ready, She's coming in

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: like JOUSTI window the window in hot. I'm going to

71
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: bring it in.

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: It is coming in tomorrow and you can bring I can,

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: absolutely I can.

74
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: Anyway, you're fifteen and you're standing out doing the old

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: standard was a short thing.

76
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: I'd lead the section all year and it was just

77
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: a section.

78
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Is that some sort of military section?

79
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: No, I'd led my age group all year. I always

80
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: won the saw dance. It was my pet event. I'd

81
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: won this huge, big.

82
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Champion the event I've never heard the phrase.

83
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: Pet what you're best at? Gotch what your best at?

84
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Still looking for that anyway.

85
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yes, I was defending my cup at this big,

86
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: massive competition.

87
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Is that on the ground you got a big trophy trophy.

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: I was defending the championship from the year before, and

89
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: I thought, this is this is.

90
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: A shoe win.

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to win this anyway. I clear on like

92
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: booted accidentally the sword off the stage. It went from

93
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: off the narrowly missed the judge one the judges got

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: to Nelly Nelly, and I was disqualified. So if you

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: if you bump the sword.

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: It's like five prenticing. How did you kick the thing?

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: It just happens, that sort of thing I do with

98
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: no training.

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes it happens. If you touch it, it's five points.

100
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: If you'd move it slightly, it was tanded. If you

101
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: kicked it off the stage, it was instant disqualification event.

102
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, hello darkness.

103
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: All right, what is in your hurt locker?

104
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: You heard from me? You from.

105
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: That sword into it?

106
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 5: Well Christian Connell's show podcast.

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Christian and I've moved on, but took them out. Animals

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: on the loose. They used to live in a suburb

109
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: that often know kangaroos and EMUs. One day too EMUs

110
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: were heading towards the shops. Some must have called the police.

111
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Two police cars were circling them on the oval. It

112
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: went on for an hour. I have photos, Melissa. We

113
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: need to see these photos. It's the fact that you

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: think they were heading towards the shops as a milk

115
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: bar over there, guys, right, what is in your hurt looker?

116
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,720

117
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: our childhood? What's in yours? On nine four one four

Speaker 3: Actually, Dave, you've brought up now a cricket memory of

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: my own. I tried to play indoor cricket with Andy

135
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: Lee when I first worked on ham Shinandy. I knew

136
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: I wasn't good at cricket.

137
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: But it's his sport. He loves cricket.

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: I got invited and I thought I can't pass up

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: this opportunity to impress Andy Lee. So I went along

140
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: with him and his friends, and I didn't realize how

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: serious they took it. Harvey bowl, I did like John

142

152
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,240

153
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: told anyone I was going for Class Captain. And we

154
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: all were told to write our names or who we

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 5: wanted to vote for on a piece of paper. And

156
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: it was like a scene out of Survivor, you know,

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: he just calling you names, and he got to the

158
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: final one and he read out the word me, and

159
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: he goes, who's me? And I'd accidentally written me instead

160
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 5: of my own name. I would have been co class captain.
