1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Jam Mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 2: Every weeknight at six you get another dose of us

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: with jam Nation and then we hand the baton over

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: to our stablemate, Christian O'Connell at seven pm. Now, Christian

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: has a new podcast called Stuff of Legends. He interviews

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: the likes of Ricky Gervai's Russell Brand Will Anderson, but

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: with a quirky twist to tell us more.

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 3: Christian, Hello, do you know what?

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: It's an honor to come on this show. Always joins

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: in Amanda, but to be described as a stable mate.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: Is really big deal. It felt like I've been blessed

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: by the Pope.

13
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: Oh she's sweet. Now the story with you?

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a number one breakfast show in Melbourne.

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: You've only been in Australia for a couple of years.

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: You really came here wondering how it would all go

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: for you. It must be extraordinary to feel that you've

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: been accepted like this.

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Have you been to Melbourne? Do you know Melbonians? There's

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: no accepting of me. It's like a job interview for

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: a job that I've been doing two and a half

22
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: years every single show. No, they are you know what

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Victorians and the same as Australians are very big hearted

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: that always give you a go as long as you're

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: not full of bs, and which.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: I think is a very fair and honest way to

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: do things.

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: So it says a lot about the heart of people

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: that gave a Pome a go on Breakfast Radio.

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 5: Well, I remember listening to one talk piece you did

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 5: about the hook turn in Melbourne and as a Sydney side,

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: I don't understand the hook turn.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: No, I still don't, and I just like the way

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: he just said.

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 5: So a right hand turn into oncoming traffic is pretty dangerous,

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 5: but here in Victoria or in Melbourne's CBD, you make

37
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 5: it even more dangerous by pulling over to the left

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: and then turning it right in front of two lanes

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 5: of traffic.

40
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, to this day, I don't understand the

41
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: hook turn. It terrifies me.

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Liam Neeson is filming here at the moment, and I

43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: bet even he wanted to be doing the hook turn

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: in his new action movie.

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: So he'll be taken even no matter he's got all

46
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: those skills.

47
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: He's got those skills. They're very specific set of skills,

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: but not a hooked.

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: Un will tell us about your podcast because there is

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: a point of difference to this. Not only do you

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: talk to incredible people, but you get stuff out of

52
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: them that no one else does because of this point

53
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: of difference.

54
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I think that actually the objects we have,

55
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: and it's not about how much money they're worth, but

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: the ones we hang on to that mean the most

57
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: to us. They they're like little time traveling devices. They

58
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: take you back to a time and a place, and

59
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: then what it does in the guests is they drop

60
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the personas and they start to tell you about stories

61
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: that they've never really shared before. So like Ricky Gervaise

62
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: or Adam Hills, who's this week's guest, he was sharing

63
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: stories with me that he's never even done on stage

64
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: as a stand up before. So it's a very simple idea.

65
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: It's just people telling me the story of their life

66
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: in the three most important objects that still matter them.

67
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: So when you hear Ricky Jervase talking about being eleven

68
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: years of age, working class upbringing with his mum and

69
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: dad and a tennis racket that they save six months

70
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: for and what it meant to him that Ricky slept

71
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: with it in his bed for five days.

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: It meant that much to him, he had something like

73
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: a brand new tennis racket. It's lovely. You don't really

74
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: hear or get to know that side of Ricky. So

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: it's the same.

76
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: If I ask you, guys, I am man. If I

77
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: ask you to tell me an object that really means

78
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: something to you, what would it be?

79
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things would be. The first

80
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: thing that comes to mind is a pair of left

81
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: handed scissors, which seems like such a strange thing, but

82
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: I am left handed, so that bit makes sense. But

83
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: my mum bought those for me when I was a teenager,

84
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: and I went.

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: Oh, the daggiest, most boring thing.

86
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it wasn't for Christmas, because that's the sort

87
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: of thing my mother would do. Craft no scissors, absolute

88
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: craft scissors. But and I scoffed, and I threw them

89
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: in a cupboard. But I now use those scissors as

90
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: a grown up every day. And because Mum's no longer here,

91
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: that to me sums up all the things that I

92
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: wish I could say to her. Of I understand now,

93
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: I get that, I get the mothering nature of your love.

94
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: I get all the stuff.

95
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: Now, and I'm sorry I can't tell you that, so

96
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: simply you're right. Me thinking about the scissors brings up

97
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: all that stuff for.

98
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Me, minding your mum and how she gave them to

99
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: you and you were ungrateful. But that's what it's to

100
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: be in moment. It's sort about you just got to

101
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: put it out there, haven't you. You don't always get

102
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: back what you want, but you still have to keep

103
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: giving it.

104
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: What would it be for you? Jonesy One of the bikes, William.

105
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 5: I love my motorbikes, but I think I've got this

106
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: thing that my uncle David, he's he lives in Heidelberg

107
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 5: and we went to it was a Richmond and South

108
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 5: Melbourne game when I was a kid at the MCG

109
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 5: and it was the first AFL game i'd been to

110
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 5: and it was one of those moments when and I

111
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 5: didn't support Richmond or South Melbourne, but I was just

112
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: there for the spectacle and Uncle Dave looked after me.

113
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 5: He bought me some hot chips and a pie and

114
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there and the crowd and to be a

115
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 5: Sydney Sider to go to a AFL game is such

116
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 5: a big deal.

117
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: The crowd is totally different. And he bought me this

118
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: Snoop Snoopy on a felt and it.

119
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: Just says, go the mighty bloods. And it was a

120
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: felt banner that hangs down. And I've still got a

121
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: my garage and I remember getting it and I've had

122
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 5: that since I don't know, since I was eleven so

123
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: and it just sits in my garage and I go

124
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: past it always.

125
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: It's like a visceral almost high land of flashback. I

126
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: go back to that field.

127
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

128
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: So the mcg the smell, the crowd yelling, and just

129
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: it even gives me chills just to talk about it.

130
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

131
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: See, isn't that lovely? Just these these objects they're not objects.

132
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: They literally have so much meaning and the smell and

133
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: it takes you back to an exact time of place,

134
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: and that to me is what makes this.

135
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: I didn't want to put that.

136
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: No one needs another podcast out there of people like

137
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: me talking to some of their friends about where they

138
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: get their ideas from and all that. It needs to

139
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: be something different, and this really is. And I love

140
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: the two stories you've given me on what it's like

141
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: every week with the guests are something really pure and

142
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just something sweet and just.

143
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: What we need right now in the world.

144
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: Even though they're very personal, these object and the stories

145
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: you both shared with us, there's something universal about them.

146
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: There is, and it's interesting to hear that someone like

147
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: Ricky Gervais, it doesn't matter how privileged you become, how

148
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: rich you become, how famous you become, you're still anchored

149
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: so much in the person that you would.

150
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

151
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what's really nice about it. They have

152
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: to drop their persona. And you guys have done this enough.

153
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: You've met people so many times when you do an interview,

154
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: they're an interview mode. That's just what they have to

155
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: do to plug the product. You don't really get stories

156
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: that are unique or is this you have to They

157
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: can't plug anything, you know. They have to tell us

158
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: these stories and you can. Well, that's what's nice about it,

159
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: hopefully to listen to as well. But thank you for

160
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: sharing your stories.

161
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: I love that.

162
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: What about you? It's rude of us not to ask,

163
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: but is there one thing that you've got that you.

164
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: That you go straight to that pulls at your heart?

165
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be for me. Actually, I've still got

166
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: this little toy car that my mum got me when

167
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: I was nine and I remember I was off. Do

168
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: you remember when you add chicken pox and do you

169
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: two get chicken?

170
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

171
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: And I remember I was very very poor. It wasn't

172
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: feeling very well with chicken pox. And my mum was

173
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a nurse. She would do that thing, don't pick them.

174
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: You is scarred for life, Chris. And I remember she

175
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: bought me this little die cast car. Still got it now,

176
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: and I was nine years of age and forty seven.

177
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: It's traveled all over the world. It's here in Australia

178
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: and it sits on my desk, so I see it

179
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: every day in the afternoon when I go home and write,

180
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: I see that store and it reminds me of mum.

181
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: And it reminds me of when your mum was mum,

182
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: when you were nine years of age, and they were

183
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: everything to you. They were like the She was the

184
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: epicenter of our families. She worked really hard.

185
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: But there's that little car that it's faded now, it's

186
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: not blue. It was blue.

187
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: It's sort of chipped away. But that that car means

188
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: everything to me. If there was a fire, I'd get

189
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: the pets out, the kids out that I'm getting that little,

190
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: that tiny little toy racing car out.

191
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: I like you said, pits before the children.

192
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Now you got priorities and life and listen at fourteen

193
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: and sixteen. If they're too thick to smell a fire

194
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: and get out the house. You know I can't do

195
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: everything for those kids.

196
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: Gives a natural selection.

197
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: You've done enough. Come on, come on, come on, come on,

198
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840
