Speaker 6 (01:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:49):
Oh yeah, it's like a sex museum, which not sex museum.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's more sort of it's people of different persuasions and
things like there's people there who might be into that
thing that brings them joy.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Might be just things an elf.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
No, right, okay, I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I spoke to someone who works here that went there
last weekend said there was a lot of orc people
and people looking for love dressed as elves.

Speaker 7 (02:11):
I could be going there. I would be surprised if
that's what is trying.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Oh, she said, it's going to be a surprised, a
little bit cool, with a little bit of rasp.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Oh, she's just send me her outfit. It is an elf.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Oh, there, you have a lovely time. Our whole weekend
is about the events of Sunday, dropping off our youngest daughter,
who is going to be the last to leave home.
It's a one way trip for her, two way trip
for my wife and I, and I do believe round
the corner there are going to be tears.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
I'm more worried now.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
About how my wife is going to handle it, right,
because yesterday I said to my wife, because you know,
we had Amanda Keller on the show, and we were
talking about, you know, like the ages of our kids now,
and I said, oh, Amanda, last time I spoke to you,
Ruby was leaving home. Can you believe Fast forward two
years was gone so quickly. It's lowest this weekend. I
said my wife, Oh my god, it was really bringing
it up for me right talking about what it's going
to be like Sunday. My wife just stops me. She goes, Chris,

(03:03):
I'm just pretending it's not happening. Oh no, oh no,
I'm now more worried about Sunday. That is not a
way to deal with it.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Denial.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
That is enough of the therapy parenting book.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Should we drop off? She ain't coming back. Just pretending
it's not happening.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
You need to plan something nice in the second half
of Sunday for her.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Well, maybe go to that l show. So let's get
our kink on. What are we going to do with
all that time?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
If nothing else? Good luck this weekend, guys.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's just going to pretend it's not happening. Is it's
going to be big this weekend?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Thro a Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Every Friday, the start of the show than we do
a thing called double thumbs Up. This is where we
talk about the shows or the things that are lighting
us up at the moment. If you've got something that
you want to share with us, might mean new TV show,
whatever it is for you, please you can test the
show four seventy five three one oh four three. On
that last week, one of you said, Christian, because I'm
looking for a new TV show at the moment.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
You've got to watch.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Do you like Billy Bob Thornton. I love Billy Bob Thornton.
He's in this new shown. I and my wife gave
up twenty two minutes in. It was ye a bit
of it. It was men arguing about land rights for
oil trilling, and I kept saying to my wife, no, no, no, this,
this won't.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Be another scene.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
And it was like, I'm gonna need to get that
least for twenty years. We got thirty pump jacks when
I'm gonna do far By seven trillion bowels a day.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
And I'm like, this right is linear?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
The next scene, No, there's more men cowboy hats arguing
around tables about barrel price.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
And I think the TV show is made to make
us feel empathy for the oil type.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah like this and this Billy Bob Thornton,
who's brilliant everything. He's like the guy who's in charge
of all and you're meant to feel empathy for like,
this is the worst job in the world, making billions
every day for rich fat cats.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Around the world. Like I'm not.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I'm struggling to connect with this, So I'm sorry. Double
dumb sell for lamb Man left me cold. However, what
has lit me up this week is the return of
one of the smartest TV shows over the last couple
of years. It feels like it's a modern Agatha Christie
and that is The Brilliant White Lotus Rots of third
season now it launched this week. It's in Thailand. It's

(05:26):
a different location each season. Two years ago it was
The Beautiful so Rounds of Italy, and before that.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
The first one was in Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
So it feels like the actual location is one of
the co stars of the movie. And it's just a mark.
It's that really good grown up TV where within the
first hour there's a lot going on, right, there's a
lot of new characters there, and normally you can get
it overwhelmed. Game of Thrones, Yeah, which turns out do
we like them with this? I don't know how they
do it, not till one hundred over an arc of

(05:56):
forty five minutes. I know all the characters they so
well etched. Now the family, the three school friends, the
ladies that love each other but don't really underneath that
there's something else going on, and.

Speaker 6 (06:07):
You already get a sense of who you like and who.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
You yes, yes or within forty five minutes. I don't
know how they do it. It's brilliant. I'm gutted they're
only doing it once a week, but I'm glad in
a way because actually, otherwise we'd have seen it all
by now.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
So what is the drop night?

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Monday? Monday night, Monday morning? Only because I went sniffing around, I.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Was like, what's the earliest? So if you hear me
this month they stick on Stairway to Heaven that I
couldn't wait for episode two, So yeah, whiteloaters cannot recommend
that enough. Go back to the first season if you
missed it. It's absolutely brilliant. And the other thing that
I'm really enjoying at the moment is a book about
the nineties. Right, every different decade has something from it
that you loved. I really love the nineties because for

(06:47):
me that was really where I felt like I came alive.
I left home, went to university, met a girl, got
done by a girl, fell out of love, met my
wife Sarah, started in radio, got married. A lot for
me happened in the nineties, and I moved to London
for the first time. So for me, the nineties is
a really special time in my life. So this book
is it's not just a lazy nostalta trip about the
nineties and how good was this or that. It's actually

(07:09):
about what was going on culturally in sport, around the world,
music around the world, golf, waryeah and you go back
to any about Oasis, who are back around this year
and performing live again.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
It takes you back to just what There's such a.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Great variety of music in the nineties, and it's not
like all new music now it's bad, but this felt
there was a real lot of variety, and also there
was an explosion of grunge and navana and soundguard and
pearl jam. It was a great time for music. And
also then you look at all the movies as well.
There was a Gulf War, so this really interesting backdrop.
And also what it really made me realize was when

(07:44):
nine to eleven.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Happened, so much changed.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Right when I'm reading this book in the nineties, I'm
remembering it's the time before what happened in two thousand
and one and nine to eleven, and you really realize
we're still fitting the massive ripples of what happened on
nine to eleven and evenized before that life was so different.
And this book, it's a great book. I'm loving it.
It's by guy American writers, a Brilliing Writers has written
a couple of great books called Chuck Colostman. You might

(08:08):
have had podcast before. Really smart, interesting guy. He's Americans. Obviously,
it's just filtered through. It's if only America had the nineties.
So sometimes a're getting so angry reading it, but it's
still really good. It's simply called the Nineties Bringing But
Chuck Coosterman, you love that.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:25):

this every Friday. We tell about the things we're into
at the moment. Patsy, what are you giving double thumbs
up to? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:33):
I went to the launches today of the Mother's Day Classic,

for Brestonoverian cancer research. They've raised a massive amount of
money something like nearly fifty million dollars for research across
the course of doing it. So just letting you know.

it will come straight up and you'll be able to

a really good book. Is I Love and Command? I
love Will Ferrell. It's one of my favorite things that
he's done. And he's done. Did you know he's done

(09:26):
a Ron Burgundy book. It's been out for a little while.
Let me off at the top.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
I've already read it once, but I've read it again
because we watched A Command with Audrey the other weeknd.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Re read it still high pray.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, it's the best prase for any book.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
So so funny and it's almost like you can hear
him reading it.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now. I want to get the audio book because hopefully
Ron does his own book. I really hope he does.
The book version.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Reminds me of Steve Coogan writing brilliant.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Oh my god, it's really funny.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
If you love and command, you will love it. Ron Burgundy,
let me off at the top. It's hilarious from start
to I think I did it in like two days
one weekend.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Jackie boy, what have you enjoyed this week?

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yeah, I've got a book as well.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
I'm reading Rogues by Patrick Radden Keith, who is fast
becoming my favorite author. I read two books of his
last year and two of my favorite books. Say Nothing,
which is about the IRA in Northern Ireland in the seventies.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Is an unbelievb'le read.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
We got a lot of emails from people who were
so interested about you talking about that and us talking
about it, and it's now a Disney Plus TV show
has been adapted to drama of it. But the Troubles
in the Northern Line who write the peaks of the
Troubles as well. That actually quite a few of our
listeners have bought the book and they finished it in
record time.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's funny that reads like fiction. It's just first of all,
it's incredibly hard to believe time that happened.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
But the way he writes.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
The detail he does about it in Lesser Hands, it
would be a hard read, because hard read. It's a
hard story to tell as well, over the.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
Many, so many years and so much so many going,
you know, but he writes in a way that it
feels like fiction.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah, he wrote page turners. That book is brilliant.

Speaker 7 (10:58):
The other book I read of his last year was
called Empire of Pain, which is about the Sackler family
who made oxy conton and cause the opioid crisis in
the US. A big, thick book. I thought I'll never
get through this, but it had such great reviews that
I tried it and it did. You read it like
it was fiction, and you really.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
So, what's the new one? Rogues is that like his
greatest hit.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Rogues is So he was a magazine right before he
became an author, and it is all his best magazine
stories about it's true stories of grifters, killers, rebels, and crooks.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
What a title. It's great his name again, Jack, because
people want to know who.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
This is, Patrick Radd and Keith.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
The one I read yesterday was about this Dutch crime family,
like essentially the mob in the Netherlands, and this sister
ended up going to trial and putting her brother, her
own brother in.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
It's an amazing story.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
All right.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's double thumbs up for this week. Everything we talk about.
By the way, if you're missing anything you want to
remember what they were, we always put them up on
Instagram look for the Christian o'connells Show. We put it
up there as well, and on our Facebook home as well,
The Christian O'Connor Show.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Patsy, Jack and I have to do this training every
year and it's about things like defamation.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
And library compliance. Yeah, have you ever done it?

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Absolutely, you've got Really, they'll chase you down. Why what
are you complaining about now?

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm just saying no, no, just the fact that you've actually
you've actually fallen foul of the law.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
But this week, because.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
You've defamed your husband and also a man called Rod.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
What have I done?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now?

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, you know, this week.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
We had a lot of ongoing a drama really that
we were following. See this is what people do in
the court of law. They say it's banter. Yeah, yeah,
Kevin Space is trying that one at the moment.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
It's this banter we've got Piers Now.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
This week you were telling us about how they've been
some upset at home because your wedding anniversary had been
forgotten about by your husband and he was planning on
a boy's trip.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Correct, And obviously you're you felt disappointed with that.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Well, wouldn't you after twenty six years of marriage? Yes,
it is a sore point.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, and we felt that.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
In fact, you actually went for Jack, who just asked,
how do you feel about it?

Speaker 5 (13:06):
How do you think I feel about it this morning? Jack?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
And what's interesting here is my wife does this when
my wife is very mad at me, which is every
day for some reason when it's just me and her
in the house, should tag on my name at the
end of it, as if I'm looking around and going
and she finds that Christian guys me. Actually, you go,
he made me feel about that, Christian, And you did

(13:31):
it with Jack.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
How do you think I feel about it this morning? Jack?

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Personal attack?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I know.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
And so we kept hearing about a man called Rod.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Yeah, I blame Rod because he does this every time
and he listens to the show.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Rod.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
You should know that that is sacred again.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Calling out this Rod guy. So I wanted Rod to
have a right to apply. We've never heard of Rod before,
have we on the show?

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Even christ the worrib We love God.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
He's a legend.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah, well the legend Rod is on the show right now. Firstly,
I didn't plan the date.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
My mate Rod planned the date. To see everyone's leading
to Rod. So that's kristall where I be love God
Parts's husband. Here is Rod.

Speaker 8 (14:09):
Hey Christian, it's Rod here.

Speaker 9 (14:10):
Thank you for giving me the right of reply for
what's been happening on the radio the last couple of that.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
One thing.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'll say, he sounds exactly like Chris.

Speaker 10 (14:18):
The voices are the same. Is there are really no Rods?
Doesn't because you and I said Chris operates at a
high level. Here it's the kaiser, So Chris is Rod?

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Right is Chris? This is huge?

Speaker 8 (14:33):
Hey Christian, it's Rod here.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
Thank you for giving me the right of reply for
what's been happening on the radio the last couple of days.
I am trying to keep a load of men happy
with a date through our weekend away. It's always great fun,
lots of food, lots of drink and It's.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Just not my fault.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
This is a date that just happened to work for
everyone except Chris. Of course, it seems sometimes like it's
hard but Chris to.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Get a day pass.

Speaker 9 (14:56):
It would be easy to get it from prison than
get it from home. Hopefully Chris is allowed to make
it and Pats, I'm hoping that you understand. Okay, Rod
signing off and thank you again, Christian Team.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'll tell you what, wow balls on Rod.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
There's a certain amount of smugness in the tone of
Rod's voice, isn't there? Rod knows exactly what he's doing,
and he did the same last year. And I don't
buy the whole.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Oh I'm so innocent.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Oh no, I'm not buying it.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
How do you feel about being essentially called a prison
warden that.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
You went with?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, that is crap.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
That is such crap. He has got freedom to go
when he wants any other day of the year, but
not on the anniversary. He's got how many other days
in the year?

Speaker 6 (15:39):
Is there.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Literally hunters for Rod and Chris to another the fact
that they did him and hide what they get up
to is loads of food and not some loads of true.
So where is it now? You're going to text Chris
going did you hear what Rod said?

Speaker 11 (15:54):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Look, you know what, if he seriously, I'm not going
to hold him back. If he wants to spend the
day of our anniversary with the.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Boys, giving him like a day release on the prison
or the compound.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
You know what, I might go away myself on a
girl's weekend.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
How's that my favorite thing?

Speaker 4 (16:11):
You say, Patsy?

Speaker 3 (16:12):
You know what? It is normally followed by a nuclear
throat or to you know what? Christian am I come
in there and punch you in the balls?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
This week there's been some hot content, as always Champagne
Radio Top of the Town stuff about the matters of
Rio's Meala dishwasher showing up a very familiar pattern. It
is for Meala fans like myself is the old classic
F seventy eight.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Soon as you know.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
That, you know that someone has been pre rinsing plates,
a peel or something small has blocked the circulation pump,
and I'm afraid the draining outlet and inlet cannot talk
to each other.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
Oh, I feel like I'm a child of getting back
home with my dad telling me we rinse the plate.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I've been down where Rio's hands and niece. You're like
a surgeon, scalpel, retractor, bigger blade, mock my brow, mock
my brow. Gonna need gauzes. It's hard work down there,
but you freed it up.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
I did it. This is huge.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Riding high today.

Speaker 12 (17:30):
About four pm yesterday, I was like, this is my
last crack because I canceled the handyman and I knew
today if I didn't fix it.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
And also they're like vultures. They're circling. They know we've
not got much left in it.

Speaker 7 (17:43):
And every time you book cancel, book, canceled, your fees
just going.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
And they know.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
They start getting closer and closer to your property as well.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
They're in the area.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
So this was very last chance.

Speaker 12 (17:55):
I took out all the dishes, and essentially what you
have to do is try to clear away as much
water as you can.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Normally I use cloths because you've got to drain all
the water away or you can't see the problem.

Speaker 12 (18:05):
I did that the first time. It wasn't enough. I
couldn't find that.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
There's still water in there.

Speaker 12 (18:09):
There's still water in this so and this is my
last chance. I got I've got to go drastic measures.
So we've got like a metal straw that we use.
So I got down on my hands and knees.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh my kids have those, Yes, I didn't adults needed them? Yeah?
Was that shake or something? A thick shake at the weekend?
Down the road of reenvironment and.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
The plastic straws. I think what he's asked is like,
why do you need a straw at all as an adult?

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (18:33):
For like fancy cocktails and James Bond, forget a metallic straw?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Please shaken money, penny. This is a good one. Oh,
brain freeze all right.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
So we're about to play the footage that you recorded rightly,
So yes, because this is about to go viral.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
This will be viral over the next twenty four hours.
This is gonna be huge. It's gonna be brending.

Speaker 13 (18:57):
Look what I have found that initially wasn't ever lucky?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Can we mix this in with simply the best to
kick in the moment after he goes Look what I
found hair simply the best a TV advert for a beer.

Speaker 13 (19:12):
Look what I have found initially wasn't ever able to
get deep enough into this because there's still water there.
You can't get all the water out of this thing.
But I used a metal straw and sucked up as
much as I could and then.

Speaker 12 (19:26):
Spat it out into the petrol. And I got deep
enough that I was able to find look at this
little fruit seed that has been the bane of my existence.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
To the handy man.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah, that's gonna be trendy.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
When you sucked up the dirty dishwasher water.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
That's what you got to do sometimes.

Speaker 12 (19:49):
Yeah, halfway to the straw, then spit it out. It
was so it was the best feeling I've ever had
in my life.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
No, No, let's just peak enlightenment. Yes, you've actually chea
of your full potential.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
It's actually me very hard. Now where do you go?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Now?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Some people that have been to the moon, when they
come back to boring old Earth, it fries their.

Speaker 12 (20:08):
Minds because it's not I'm useless at all this stuff.
Always I finally felt what it felt like to be
a champion, to be a man, to be like a
real man man.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I always wondered what it would be, just for a
couple of seconds to feel like one of these men exactly.

Speaker 12 (20:23):
Oh my god, And now I get why dads are,
why you people are the way you are.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't mind you, my people. This is what drives it.
This is what makes a dad a dad. Yes, because
I get it. Because it costs money.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
It's hard to do.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Money, I said, dad, is it costs money to fix stuff?
And so now I'm a tyrant on the Now you've
got that dad madness about you. It's it's way too
much big energy about the flipping dishwasher and like you're
going to drain these plates otherwise next time you can
go down there.

Speaker 12 (20:53):
Exactly, I'm riding on such a high.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
You would have been proud of if you saw what
I put into the dishwasher, how unrinsed the dish.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
You'll be down there on your hands and knees one day.
Can You'll be begging reare for that metallic straw.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Producer Rio has had a small, small win, but it's
actually a monumental one. And this is what it is.
Not all of us are going to get gold medals
and be up representing your country on the podium at
the Olympics. Okay, that is not for the majority of us.
Finding a small blockage in your dishwasher is the podium

(21:31):
is the gold medal is saluting everyone around the stadium
and sports fans around the globe, as you've just smashed
a new world record.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
That's it for us, isn't it.

Speaker 12 (21:40):
It feels so I'm embarrassed, how good you? And I
remembered and I was like, I've still kept the little
seed that was the.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Block Yeah, for a cover of day.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Strangers or friends will come round and went, hey, I
fixed my own dish washer. And that was then then like, hell,
you already got that out when I did the same thing,
cleared the same blockage on my dishwasher, right, and it
was like a little pea or something. I remember when
my wife came home and I showed her like I'd
done it a surgeon, I got it out of her
patients a or to valve or something.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
She went, oh my.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
God, I am so proud of you are. And my
wife has never said that to me. Right, we've done career,
I've read a charmed life. She's never said that though
ratings awards, finding a job the other side of the world,
never proud well done, but that clearing a dishwasher from
an F seventy eight was huge. And I remember thinking

(22:38):
then I always wondered if I'd ever be able to
get this moment, you know, where you grasped the ringing
life and you really are a champion, just for a
couple of seconds, and it felt great. I get why
Rio felt this when he when he cleared he found
the culprit yesterday and then the belly of the dishwasher.

Speaker 13 (22:55):
Look what I have found.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
So wild?

Speaker 3 (23:04):
And it's like when you interview an athlete after they
won the Grand final or something. You know they've got
the medal around the leg and it was a hard
fought win.

Speaker 12 (23:12):
It was it would it was like kicking for the
like three points down, kicking for the game, the last
shot and I did it.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
And the fact that the handyman was circling, Yes, you'd
ask for more time, more.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Time on the buzzer. This is a buzzer beat.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
Us, not today, handyman.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Watch because look what I've found. What I have found,
I'm warming myself right now.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
The glow if you reo the winners glow feels that
we need to start a new thing.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
On a Friday.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
You know, flexing is the thing when someone boasts about
what they've done and we're talking about small flexes really,
but they are everything this you'll be to ride this
wave into next week.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
This whole week, the backing round.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
So what do you?

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Did you message your partner? Will do do you text
you and go, oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
You have a little doubt.

Speaker 12 (24:04):
I was like almost going through my phone looking to
people to tell work grip and then said to Will,
oh my, this is all caps. Oh my god, I
have fixed the dishwasher. I am a gode. Oh my lord,
I am riding high. This is a truly great day.
The repairman can get bleeped.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Did he ever write back?

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Or is it just a series of texts that you
shot out to him? That's just a stream?

Speaker 12 (24:30):
And then an hour later, Oh my god, you're so activated.
Are you coming for dinner?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Dinner? All right?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
So let's do this now, let's let's see. Let's celebrate
your small wins this week on flex Friday?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
What is your Look what I have found? PASSI? What
have you got for flex Friday?

Speaker 5 (24:53):
You know what I did yesterday? I got home, had
a hankering for a vigimite sandwich for lunch, and the
is always so hard to open, and I don't normally
have to get that tupperware square. I've got like the
plastic to open it.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Jack so useful.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, three w listeners for eighty year old weak hands.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Got a bit of the old r S. I you know,
from the keyboard of the.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Typewriter, flatly fingers of flame.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Normally you have to call out to the love God,
can you please come open this jart? And I did
it myself.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
I'm every worm. Jackie boy, have you got anything for
flex rider.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, we've had this stick vacuum cleaner for more than
five years called the work time. And he's got a
bracket that you can fix to the wall and hang
him up, and I haven't done it.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Another fact, you've assigned a gender to him. He has
a bracket.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
I finally hung him up.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
And were you pested to do this or did you
do it voluntarity?

Speaker 7 (26:03):
I was pestered by myself because he leans against me.
He's behind the door in the laundry. I hate using
him because every time you go over to him is
not where he should be. And every time I like
clean lines, I like it for me it makes sense
to be hanging. But every time I use that go
next time.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
I'm going to get rind of that on the wall.
It's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Enjoy what today The Christian O'Connell show podcast in Christian.

He finally got it out yesterday after a couple of weeks.
We're trying to shake it out there. Wow, done, this
is huge. This is flex Friday.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
You never stopped doing that as a guitarist, having to
get it out. The only new thing I've found since
I've had Gordy is when you go to shake it
out like toy cars.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
And stuff that he's stored in there. Good morning team
Pats and Jack. I heard them talk about how they
their wrists are two weeks to open jars. This is
from Robert. There's another way you can do. You just
tap the side part of the lid of the jar.
I do this on the corner of the bench and
it releases the pressure, making it easier to open. You

(27:24):
don't need to give it a huge bang or crack,
and you don't need some device that comes from Joe.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Thank you very much, Joe.

Speaker 7 (27:30):
If you're going over to the bench anyway, why not
just open the guys since on the bench.

Pinfall Chereer's red wine trial at home as a nineteen
ninety nine bottle. I was cleaning the house and I
was painting, and I'll send it in a sign box,
still in its sealed and yeah, I ran pencils and
that's it.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
It was about thirteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
A lot of the fact they've just got some old
guy there. It just tells you my surprise of stuff

Pieter Penfold. I remember that was a great year for

And is that going to be in the next couple
of weeks, because if I was sitting on.

Speaker 1 (28:46):

favorite radio presenter?

Speaker 1 (28:53):

Elaine? Yes, Hi, Hello Elaine, and welcome to flex Friday.
What have you done this week?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (29:16):
So I was climbing the fence to speak to a
neighbor and I broke my solar lights that were against
the fence, so only half of them would be working,
which is the ones connected to the battery pub. So
I pulled back the plastic joined them back together and
now they work.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Shoot massive, Can I just ask why were you climbing
the fence to speak to the neighbors?

Speaker 16 (29:37):
Quite hot, because it's just easier rather than going right
around quite like.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
A cat might climb for.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
They know you're coming, or do you yell out to.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
The mins having a cup of tea. Oh my god,
that cougar's climbing the fence again.

Speaker 16 (29:53):
We have coffee together.

Speaker 11 (30:02):

Speaker 5 (30:06):
A ladder or something. I still can't get over the
fact she climbs the fence.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's what the thought we were talking about.

Speaker 7 (30:14):
We find annoying if my neighbor was climbed trying to
call it.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
We're always moving through and sometimes someone's like grabbing at
the coachails and we're going back into lap room we
just left.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Well, well, well say it ain't so? Is this the
main man?

Speaker 3 (30:30):
The epicenter of the drama at home for Patsy and
her husband, The wearrib We Love God, Rod?

Speaker 5 (30:52):

show and be a main like he's been.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
A big part of the show, the playmaker. Rod.

Speaker 3 (30:59):

auspicious occasion in our house?

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Kicking off this week with John Mellencamp Pink Houses off
the Scarecrow album.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Oh this is a great choke.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
A couple of little known facts about John Mellencamp. Are
you ready bringing the best to the table this time?
Apparently he did a degree in broadcasting. There's going to
be a radio d J. I didn't know neven, did I?
And also he almost had a movie career in that
he was originally offered the role which went to a

(34:26):
little known actor in Filma and Louise. He was meant
to be J D.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
The Drifter You're Kidder.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Pitts Roll?

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yes, the same movie with John Mellencamp, is it? Oh?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I know?

Speaker 5 (34:39):
And it obviously launched Pitt's career and he was a
perfect JB JD. The Drifter in that movie.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
Great facts then, was he already a famous musician by then?

Speaker 5 (34:50):
He was up and covered? Also a great artist apparently
and a phenomenal painter.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
And so you spent yes, say just fangirl and John
cougar Man, what can't he do? He's just cured the common.

Speaker 7 (35:03):
And you taste his wife short friend, Oh my god,
in shade of a ross wife.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Just amazing bit of an idiot at concert. But apart
from that, you.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Know it was an idiot concert.

Speaker 16 (35:15):
Well.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
I went to his concert here and it was the
most underwhelming concept of any of the concerts.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Of then to what strange It's like the tall poppy syndrome,
but you literally just created the beautiful poppy pumped and
now you're getting a whipper snipper out in front of
our ears and cutting him down.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
I was so so looking forward to it. I've never
seen him live before. He came out three hours late.
I've talked about this.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
He might have been doing some of his paintings. Dragged
me away from this easier right now.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
He was three hours late. Cheryl Crowe was his support act,
who was phenomenal. I just wanted to keep playing. She
did his crowded house cover. She was fantastic. Anyway, he
came out three hours late and and then performed I
Reckon not even barely an hour and he was gone
and did all his famous songs like Jack and Diane,

(36:08):
just a middley of the choruses that probably went for
like he.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Feels like he had really had a better place to
be back at that easel, he's doing the songs thinking
he's just say a bit more dark.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Look at the top left hand corner. This hits off
at this.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
Jackie d there.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Well it was a bit like that, Jack, it really was.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
But anyway, all right, structure, somebody with a structure. In
the title Jack, I've.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Gone with Hosiers take me to church.

Speaker 3 (36:30):

Hey, I'd like to have talking Heads down their House.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Great one, Gary, Now the two different songs you got
obviously talking in his classic burned down the House and
he got this one by the Mighty Voice Tom Jones
with Nina from The Cardigan's.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
The Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Awesome cover version featuring the mighty voice of Tom Jones
with the Cardigans burning down the House.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
The band of Cardigans.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
I remember years ago interviewing them and I was asking
about how this song came into being because Tom joins
his voice and this is incredible. But in mind when
he made this, I think it was the late nineties,
he would have been getting onto his mids or late
sixties stool.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
His voice is huge.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
And they said, obviously, when you're recording a song, it's
take after take off, to take off to take and.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Tom came in nailed it.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
He did two minutes of vocal warm up, did his
first and only take, and walked out the studio and went,
that's it done, and said he did it in one take.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Literally what is heard? I love those rock and roll stories.
All right.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
It's day five, End of the week, four Shark and
Well week. This week we've been on a mission. Can
we find any stories? Is how we begun the show.
On Monday, my wife here goes diving. She said, you
won't get any shark or well stories on the show.
I think we've had almost nine different stories. We've whittled
them down to the best four.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Shot and well the final four by.

Speaker 15 (42:27):
Next to me got slapped in the face by a
bull shark. I've been in a shark's mouth, not once,
not twice, but a few times.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
The shark would come straight at me.

Speaker 15 (42:35):
I would go send me in their mouths, kind of
pull myself out and then tumble down their backs.

Speaker 17 (42:41):
We had one of those little pump up inflatable boats
caught this fish. Massive bull sharks grabbed the fish, is dragging.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Us up the river.

Speaker 17 (42:49):
So my daughter's over the front of the little boat
smacking this thing on the head trying to get us.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
The good came off.

Speaker 18 (42:55):
I went headfirst into a shark. I had to go
to the chiropractice the next day because couldn't move my neck.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
That's how it is at the moment.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Then so George him and his daughter dragged up and
down the river by a shark for twenty minutes, Billy
his friend slapped in the face, backslapped by a shark's
fan in Fiji, Brian headbutting a shark, had a good
luck chiropractor Sebastian inside the shark's mouth several times and
tumbling down the back.

Thank you very much to everyone who's been emailing their
stories from Monday when we're wondering.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
If we get anything.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yesterday, over thirty emails about shark and well stories. By
one o'clock my inbox was getting slammed with shark story
after shark story after shark story. Just in the last
twenty minutes to get an email and they got my
attention because Christian must read email and then subject heading
also looking into the soul of a well. I mean

(44:23):
this comes from Tom and Hazard. Greetings from Canada. Last year,
my partner I built our own sea kayaks. Okay, that's
your Canadians. You better start escaping Canada. Trump's coming to
buy it soon. Last year, partner I built our own
sea kayaks and decided to paddle from Vancouver Island to Alaska.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
We lived in a tent on the shore.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Each night, we planned our food careful and arranged food
drops in the coastal post offices along the way. We
were shadowed by a pod of Auca wells on two occasions,
with them popping their heads out of the water to
see what we were up to. These wales terrified me.
They are huge, but by far the best experience were
the humpbacks. We must have seen over a hundred of

(45:04):
them there. Christian has nothing more majestic and ground and
then looking directly into a humpback well's eye, because you
guess you get that side eye, don't you. You know
it's a soulful side eye, not the old stinky side
eye you get from your partner. Sometimes hump but well,
I from fifteen feet away, knowing that you're both looking
into the depths of each other's soul.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
That's beautiful, Tom.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
It wasn't all sunshine and lollipops though, Oh god, I'm
just going to read ahead here because.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
We cannot have another.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
It didn't plow over on that kite is Yeah, you're
crazy Canuck whales just saying through this I should have Reddit. No, no, no,
I can carry over with it. It wasn't all sunshine.
I've never heard that phrase. Were all sunshine and lollipops.
One night we'll were camping in the middle of nowhere.
There were so many humpbacks breaching around us that we
had to use ear plugs to get any sleep. They

(45:52):
are so noisy.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Few.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Good ending, Thank you very much, Tom and Hazzard. Let's
go to Mary now, Good morning Mary.

Speaker 19 (46:00):
Hello guys here are you?

Speaker 4 (46:01):
Yeah, we're good? So shark a well, what's the story?

Speaker 19 (46:05):
I almost padded a great white shack.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Okay, I'll forgo.

Speaker 19 (46:09):
Well a scuba diving in a seal colony. And I
turned around and there's this wall of sweash. I didn't
recognize it. No, I won't pet the seal it might
bite me, so when I moved, when it moved away,
I recognized it as a five meter great white shark.
There was about four of us in the water. We
all hit under the kelp and one by one we
ascended back on the boat.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Hard didn't under kelp. It's like kelp is quite see through.
It's like a neglarce. I can see you. You just
in there.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
It's like on landing hiding behind flies.

Speaker 19 (46:44):
Pretty mad.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, it's that when kids go you won't find me
and they just crashed out.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Is that kelp or something else?

Speaker 19 (46:57):
Well he didn't come back, so it must have.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Been probably laughing, So I believe I thought I couldn't
see them in that calp. Mary, thank you very much
for your story.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Andrew. Good morning, Good morning, Andrew. What have you got
for us?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
My friend and I were swimming on the Ningaloo Reef
off Western Australia and we were surrounded by about eight
or nine sharks circling us.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Did you have any calp?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
We were two or three hundred meters off shore and
then we were terrified and we went back to back and.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
I was one at four o'clock.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
So how did one of those he had one of
those disposable cameras and he said, I'm not I'll take
a few photos so people know what happened to us,
and we don't the sharks and we just swam in
the shore as fast as we could. It was a
couple of hundred meters it was. It was at least
an hour or two before we recovered it was. It
was so terrible.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
I was so lucky to Shed be telling us this
story Andrew.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
It was.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
They're not normally known to attack less impacts or provoked,
and we had eight or nine circling us.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
You and you're provoking them with that film camera, camera.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Flashes going off in their eyes. And did you did
you develop the film? Have you got the photos to
this day?

Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (48:21):
I do.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
They're in my shad. They are literally.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Like and ambush and the camera's in the shed. So
can we see the photos at some point?

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Oh, yes, no problem at all. I'll dig me out
of the shed. They are one of those old Kodak
disposable where you get them developed.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Yeah, ideal for shark hunting. What a story.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
It still resonates. I can see it like as if
it were yesterday.

Speaker 9 (48:54):
It was.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
It was so scary.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Yeah, so tell me this time because obviously right they're
circling you. You two are back to back, and then
what did you just make the decision to break and
try and swim as fast you can?

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Just go for it.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
I decided to dive down and I wasn't gown here
without a fight.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
And that was it was my fist, Andrews. You tried
to punch anything in water, It does something to your hand.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
It loses.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Punching in a porn, I think it does loses some
of the impact.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
We were we were a few undredmoves off shore. I
had no idea what else to do.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
That was that was just it God, the adrenaline.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah, and we had and yeah, out of my friend.
He took photos of it so people would know what
happened to us.
