WEBVTT - MINI: Crazy Uncles

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Quest.

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>All right today on the show, and they want to

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>hear your stories about crazy uncles. This came off the

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>back of yesterday. I got this text message from Tamika

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>when we're asking you who you named after christ My

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>uncle was in charge of naming my brother. I mean,

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, guys, I've never heard of this,

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 1>so you know, sometimes it might be a book or

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a movie that influences kids' names and stuff like that.

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>But actually just palming it off to out of any

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>family member, your mum or dad, I could maybe understand.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>But the uncle in the family tree is the home

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of the crazies. My uncle was in charge of naming

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>my brother. Not knowing what to call him, he put

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a bet on the horses and said the next jockey

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to win when I named them after them. The jockey

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>was a girl, so that didn't work, so we changed

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it to the cricket and the next batter to play.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>That was Brett Lee's first Test match, and my brother

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>is named Brett Lee. The incredible scene. So I want

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to know today about crazy uncles. Jack, You've got crazy uncle.

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 3>My uncle was a police officer and when I was

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 3>years old, I went on a bust with him. My

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>job was to sit in the back of his family

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>van with a blanket over my head, filming on a camcorder.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 3>What yes in the service station parking lot as he

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 3>bought chipped PlayStations in pirated games from people in the

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 3>trading post. He was undercovered.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow, this is like a movie Jess and I was twelve,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>but must have been so exciting.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>I was scared, scared. I was scared because I was

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 3>really scared that the light on the cam quarter would

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 3>be seen by one of these illegal pirtors.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>And where was this going on in Melbourne?

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 3>This was in the eastern suburbs, Southeastern suburbs, so like

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Noble Park. Where else did we go? Dandy Noole?

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>So do you did a whole day of this?

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 3>Did a whole day of So he was posing undercover,

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 3>posting as a regular person buying pirated PlayStation games.

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I love the fact that that was the big crime,

0:01:53.680 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, before ice came the city, simple simpler. I'm

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>on the big one at the moment. This is like

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a Narcos perhaps you myself some.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Crazy uncle Ken was a crazy driver so if you

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>ever went he had this big, huge Fairmont car, and

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>if you ever went in the car with him, Mum

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and dadd say, whatever you do, don't engage in a

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>conversation with uncle Ken.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Did they go, that's a fun uncle.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 3>What you meant to do, was aki, Whatever you do

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 3>for your own safety, you do not talk to your.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Speak to him. I was talking about Uncle Ken before.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Do not speak to him or engage.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It had this big front bench seat and he would

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>put his arm, his left arm over the seat. But

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>if you talk to him, he would take his eyes

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>off the road and like look at you while he

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>was driving.

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>My seventy year old daughters has that at the moment

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you have ice forward.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You just would and so you just would not talk

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>at him. And then the other thing when he had

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>big they lived in glen Roy and they had this

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>massive long driveway, and so he'd back out, he'd reverse out,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 2>and if there was a car coming, he'd go all

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the way back into the garage again. So instead of

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>just waiting sort of across you know, the sidewalk, well,

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>he'd go all the way back up the driveway into

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the garage.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't engage, and we're going to throw. We'll have a

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>code now, we'll call it. Let's do an Uncle Ken here.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 1>It was crazy.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>It could take twenty minutes to get out of the driveway.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not engaging. Christian Connell Show podcast
