27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,320

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: was working in the hotel and as I come in

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: the for you there, I've noticed Whoopy Goldberg sitting on

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: a seat. There a few security guards around her. I

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: looked at her, she looked at me. We made very

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: intimate eye contact and a little smile, and off I

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: kept walking. And that was it.

41
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: I think it's too strong. It is will be gone.

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: There.

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: She saw you, you saw her, You saw each other

44
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,440

00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a strong thing.

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,320

Speaker 2: You know, we've thank you very much, Christion, Just buddy, sue.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Hi, Christian. My weakest claim to fame was my husband

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: let Madonna into her film storage unit.

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: Into a storage unit. Madonna had a storage unit, Yeah, a.

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: Film storage unit. We used to live in Portland, Oregon,

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and I think it was when she was filming Desperately

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Seeking Susan. My husband's company used to store a lot

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: of equipment and they couldn't get into this storage unit.

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: One day, my husband had to take them there and yeah,

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: well and behold it was Madonna there herself. I couldn't

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: believe that.

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Was she like, frustrated that looking at a watch, going

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: come on, guys, open up rollers, come on, open up

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: the shutters.

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Well it was a very young Madonna.

63
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

64
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 7: Yeah.

65
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: Desperately Singing Susan was one of her first films.

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: Pretty strong.

67
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: Yeah again, this is too strong. WHOOPI Goldberg, Madonna. They're

68
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: too powerful at the moment. It's too good too. Well. Yeah, sorry,

69
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: so thank you very much and go back, Christian.

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 6: My weakest claim to fame is that I slept in

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 6: the same bed as David Attenborough.

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Now, this is what we're looking for. You slept? Was

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: he in the bed as well?

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 6: No, definitely, not in the same time, at the same bed.

75
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 6: It was many years later that I slept in the bed.

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: Well perfect, what was this famous bed?

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I wouldn't call it a showbiz bed for

78
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 6: a couple of years back in the mid two thousands,

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: I lived and worked on a remote field station in

80
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 6: South Africa and we were studying meer caps and birds,

81
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: and David would often come to the project to film

82
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 6: for his documentary, especially with the meercats. He wasn't there

83
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: while I was there, but we all knew about the

84
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 6: famous bed that David Attenborough had slept didn't and I

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 6: happened to.

86
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: Sleep in it.

87
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: This is great. This is what we build this feature around.

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: It's my new favorite one. It's just awesome.

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: And as you went to sleep that night, did you

90
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: think of the great Man?

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, definitely, definitely sweet.

92
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880

93
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: Katland Christian O'Connell show podcast. All right, back to your

94
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: weakest claim to fame, Heaven.

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 6: My weakest claim to say was I worked at the

96
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 6: kitchen with a lady who made suits the Dawn Fader.

97
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: Wow, politicians.

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: Her name was Dawn and she made suit to Dawn. Father.

99
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 6: That was all a big deal because Dawn made Super Dawn.

100
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: D big deal.

101
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: You worked with Dawn that made the suit for Dawn Fraser. Yes,

102
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: I think you're more impressed with not the fact that

103
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: was for Dawn Fraser. The fact that doorn made of

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: the Dawn three incidents.

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, that's that was the big thing.

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 6: But I worked for it, which made it even better.

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: I got you know, we're back contract. They were back contracted. Yes,

108
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: you got to Heather. All right, well done, thanks again, Heather, Bye, no,

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: thank you, bye, Shannon. Hi Christian, Shannon, welcome. What's your

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: weakest claim to fame?

111
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 5: Hi, Christiana, I've quit. My weakest claim to fame is

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 5: I may have held hands with Patrick Raft and grade three.

113
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: I love this may have so it's a vague to fame.

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: So you may have held hands with the very young

115
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 2: pat rafter in it is grade three?

116
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: Grade three?

117
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Yes, So why is that memory survey because obviously you're

118
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: so young.

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean I know that he was definitely

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 5: in my class. So he was, Yeah, he was in

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 5: my class. I've got a photo walk him in grade three.

122
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: But we always held hands to go up to the

123
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: classroom after assembly. So obviously in the multiple train taking

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 5: throughout the year, I may have held his hands.

125
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: The odds are that you probably know.

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: I'm afraid. This is a new spinoff feature called Desperate

127
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Claims to Fame. Watch out, pat rafter, she sat out there.

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Thank you very much of your calls.

129
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 7: All right, by uh Carl Christian. My weakest claim to

130
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 7: fame is that my flatmate had a pink couch from

131
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 7: Burt Newton's nineties morning show.

132
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: That's an iconic couch, right.

133
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 7: It really is an iconic couch. I have sat where

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 7: the prosteritor of many favorous people have set.

135
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean we've had people sleeping on a bed

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: that was slept in years before by Sir David had

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: people have been in lifts with famous animals. But now

138
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: this is a famous.

139
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 7: Couch and the cows got retired last year. That it

140
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 7: was an ugly pink salmon, uncomfortable couch, but it was

141
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 7: the couch that was with Burton Newton in the morning show.

142
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: And did you just put it out in hard rubbish?

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

144
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 7: I think it went out hard rubbish. So someone else

145
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 7: now has the couch that.

146
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Should have gone to Museums museum but Newton but needs

147
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: to be.

148
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 7: The moonfaces somewhere.

149
