Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jack saw something yesterday. I've always been fascinated by mixed businesses.
Speaker 2: There's a whole load of these places where you can
Speaker 2: get a trophy and also get new keys cut. And
Speaker 2: I don't know whether one day someone board when there
Speaker 2: was no one coming in for trophies, shoved his key
Speaker 2: in the lathe or something, then realized that he could
Speaker 2: copy a key. Hang on a minute, it's a whole
Speaker 2: new revenue stream.
Speaker 3: The keycat always has to pair with something else.
Speaker 2: They got the shoes, and you can also get a
Speaker 2: dart so karate trophy with someone kicking someone in their head.
Speaker 2: You can do all those. But I love miss mixed businesses.
Speaker 2: But you saw one yesterday.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how these two fit together, but
Speaker 3: we drove past a business offering costume hire and dog grooming.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so random, it's like they've just been
Speaker 2: thrown together. So what came first, the costume of High
Speaker 2: or the dog grooming.
Speaker 3: I guess all I think is now that we've been
Speaker 3: wasting our time separately going to the cost High just
Speaker 3: does costumes and taking our dog Luna to the dog
Speaker 3: groomer who just does dog grooming. Thankfully, now we can
Speaker 3: do it all in the one location.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you think about it, costume high isn't
Speaker 2: a busy thing every single day, is it? They must
Speaker 2: get sudden bursts on a Thursday and a Friday head
Speaker 2: of a party at the weekend, and you think, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I haven't got an outfit. I'll go what
Speaker 2: is happening? Monday is a day it gets all dumped
Speaker 2: back that leaves you with a quiet Monday afternoon and
Speaker 2: there really dead Tuesday Wednesday? Are you seeing people walking
Speaker 2: their dogs going? Owners that care too much about that
Speaker 2: they can be ripped off?
Speaker 1: What could make.
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: Right? Let's see if we can form then a top
Speaker 2: ten of mixed businesses here that you've seen. What have
Speaker 2: you seen here in Melbourne? Give us a call this

Speaker 5: of ug boots.

Speaker 3: buy two custom made barn doors, get.
Speaker 2: Or always the tea on the barn door. The ug
Speaker 2: boots are expensive. It's to barn doors are actually giving
Speaker 2: away as an extra That is fantastic. Whereabouts is that

Speaker 3: barn doors if you would like tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Custom made barn doors as well. There you go, all right, Graham,

Speaker 2: can't get enough this morning. Nine four one O four three.
Speaker 2: That is one to beat though, custom made barn doors
Speaker 2: and ugg boots go figure.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast.
Speaker 2: So we are now currently obsessed for the rest of
Speaker 2: this year with mixed businesses. These are businesses that don't
Speaker 2: just have one speciality, they offer something else as well.
Speaker 2: We've heard about in Preston a place that sells custom
Speaker 2: made barn doors okay, but with ug boots as well.
Speaker 2: And in footscray off and coothing alterations and table tennis gear,
Speaker 2: which is amazing. Thank you very much to Danny. Was
Speaker 2: too busy you were, John put air with us. We
Speaker 2: need to let us know about this amazing place. Pet
Speaker 2: crematorium and car Mechanics now I'm willing to guess that
Speaker 2: they originally were car mechanics during a lunch break, start
Speaker 2: to just brain someone about how can we make more business.
Speaker 2: It's a tough year at the moment. And thought prep crematorium.
Speaker 2: Anything we can use here who is grieving their beloved
Speaker 2: pet but also want to get their axe or sorted out.
Speaker 7: This is my new favorite one. Pet crematorium and car Mechanic.
Speaker 7: I need to speak to the actually to work out
Speaker 7: just what goes on there. That's amazing. Also, someone called
Speaker 7: in about motorbikes and haircuts, a place that actually sells
Speaker 7: you a motorcycle and also cuts you. How wondering if
Speaker 7: they were just selling motorbikes, but people kept a lot
Speaker 7: of the customers kept saying that the helmet, my hair's
Speaker 7: too big for the helmet. Go over there and get
Speaker 7: your nice trimser complimentary with that bike. These are great,
Speaker 7: Thank you very very much, keithon coming, Christian. I've got
Speaker 7: a great suspicion that my local pizza shop does have
Speaker 7: a dual business. Although the second business I don't think
Speaker 7: strictly advertised or legal, it would appear that is definitely
Speaker 7: the stronger side of the business. Okay, all right, let's
Speaker 7: go to lies David.
Speaker 1: Good morning, morning, Christian.
Speaker 2: How are you. I'm good David. What have you seen
Speaker 2: in Laverton?
Speaker 8: I live in Laverton, but I was referring to Footscray,
Speaker 8: which seems to be the hotbed for this. So just
Speaker 8: down the road from the table tennis clothing red by
Speaker 8: the operation place, you've got a burger Johnny that also
Speaker 8: does tax returns.
Speaker 2: This is genius. What a great way to liven up
Speaker 2: the dunness, the mundanity of doing your taxi journey. If
Speaker 2: you knew you could have a big old cheeseburger fries.
Speaker 8: I reckon, it's the first big thing you can you
Speaker 8: can you can dine while your while your money's been
Speaker 8: whild away.
Speaker 3: All of them. Just beg the question what came first?
Speaker 2: That is a great one. But you're right, David. It's
Speaker 2: all happening in footscray visionaries and thing. It's our Silicon Valley.
Speaker 2: All right, David, that's an awesome one. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Cool Lucy, good.
Speaker 1: Morning, Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 6: Here you going.
Speaker 2: I'm good. So what have you got?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 6: Down Bellarette Road in Deer Park, I went out to
Speaker 6: dinner walk past a supermarket that had a beautician, but
Speaker 6: more specifically, they were advertising eyebroil threading. So while you
Speaker 6: go in and have your milk, get your milk, you
Speaker 6: can have your eyebroils done.
Speaker 2: But I've never had my eyebrowls threaded, but my wife
Speaker 2: and daughters have them, the daughters. But it was so painful,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 6: It's worth the child labor about having a kid.
Speaker 2: Having a kid, actually being a parent. It does feel
Speaker 2: like child labeled sorts at times.
Speaker 6: But I'll tell me I had two boys and then
Speaker 6: I had twin girls.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: As child labor.
Speaker 5: Having a baby.
Speaker 2: It was the excitement of the spotting. They have the
Speaker 2: mixed business all right, take it easy, my friend. Thanks fine,
Speaker 2: bye now, Emily, good morning, good morning today. I'm good.
Speaker 2: So we're looking for mixed businesses and what have you
Speaker 2: got for us?
Speaker 4: So on the way home, I drive one Stairs Street
Speaker 4: every night and one of the shops I drive past
Speaker 4: has an op shop and a nightclub together.
Speaker 2: An op shore and a nightclub.
Speaker 4: Yeah, both in the same building. From what I can say,
Speaker 4: they run at the same time as well.
Speaker 2: Wow, you can go and get some a brand new outfit.
Speaker 2: If you're not if you're not smart enough, go down
Speaker 2: the op shop downstairs, change coming with songs. Okay, go
Speaker 2: by a hard shoe down at the Salvos.
Speaker 3: You can do costume changes during the night.
Speaker 2: Emily, that's a great one. Thank you very much. Andrew,
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning, Christian. How are you, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: good Andrew, Welcome to the show. What have you spotted?
Speaker 5: Look, there's a a car wash and sushi restaurant on
Speaker 5: Bell Street in Coburg.
Speaker 2: Actually it like a drive through. It is actually car washing.
Speaker 2: Just as you're going into the car wash, you shout
Speaker 2: your order through in the other Sunday car wash. You
Speaker 2: got the sushi.
Speaker 5: Look, they've got a captive audience for half an hour. Christian,
Speaker 5: I think you're sitting there. You've got your car being
Speaker 5: washed as a sushi restaurant right there.
Speaker 2: Not a sushi's not really cupped either, so you probably
Speaker 2: could have a car wash and the food's ready.
Speaker 5: Well, exactly right. I actually had a friend send me
Speaker 5: a photo from America as a bit of a laugh
Speaker 5: on Facebook and say, hey, check this place out, and
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, that's about five from my house mate.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Astralia.
Speaker 3: I lived in a sushi in car washing place in
Speaker 3: Coburg as well, and I just can't help but think
Speaker 3: I don't want to eat the sushi there. If they're
Speaker 3: doing car washers as.
Speaker 2: Their main business, what you think is about Sudson. I'm
Speaker 2: sure that is not the case.
Speaker 5: Don't you want to She's really good. I've always thought,
Speaker 5: did I actually get it brought in? Is that just
Speaker 5: a part of the model, or you know, how does
Speaker 5: that actually work?
Speaker 3: I find it hard to trust. Like raw fish, you
Speaker 3: don't want to muck around with if they're doing car
Speaker 3: washes their main focus, and then doing sushi at the back.
Speaker 2: Now, I think at their recruiting school that have some
Speaker 2: people that are destined for sushi business. Some people haven't
Speaker 2: got those skills. They don't want to waste them. They go,
Speaker 2: you can run the car washing business.
Speaker 3: It's like the sorting hat on Harry Potter car washers
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 2: Sushi sushi is in the web of life for everyone.
Speaker 2: They're still a car that needs washing. For you, you
Speaker 2: can still be of use. Andrew, that's a great one.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
