Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Right now at the Key Arena. The Key Arena is
ready for us. It is our studio. In an hour's time,
we're doing knock it into the park. Sixteen of you
outside the curing Key Arena, all trying to knock it
into the courts ad side. So if you do, you're
off the finals this weekend. Both of the finals women's
tomorrow and the men's on Sunday. Massive prize, VIP prizes. Okay,

(00:32):
two prizes, not just one. We were told yesterday because
obviously this is the Kia Arena and it's now like
you don't just wander on to the MCG before the
Grand Final damage the precious sacred ground there. We were
told yesterday that we had to have white soled sneakers.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
We all understood it. I've dug out what these are.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
So white. I think you can see them from a Saturnye.
Jack has just shown us the soul of his trainers.
Not white, I know, apart from the most important to him,
like the souls.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
There are very very light.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
No no, no, they're white because you're staying the court.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
I thought that meant black shoes, like the kind of
school shoes you would wear.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Are white adjacent?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
White adjacent? They're not white?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
What color is there?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Caramel?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Caramel?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Real?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
What do you reckon? That is caramel?

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Caramel at best? Brown at worst?

Speaker 6 (01:27):
That's the worst possible color that could go.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
And keep black is the worst white?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
White?

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Christine white, thank you Christian.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yes you can't, you literally can't wear that.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
How can you misunderstand the brief?

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Not just that?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
This morning on the way and I went, he is
going to do he is going to stand about the soul,
not just a white trainer. And I thought, we haven't
got time to get because because your big old clown
feet as well, Jack six at five, we can't find
you know, clown shoes. It's gonna look so bad video
if he's just in socks. But that's the reality. No,

(01:58):
come on, sure, come on to the Key Arena and
the Australian Open.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Usually I used to play basketball and they said no
black soil shoes on the court.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
But you played for like the Ivan Hobozos of it
was team so you know they don't care what you wear.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
No, there was usually a sign on every arena that said, well,
it wasn't an arena every court that said don't wear
black sold shoes, and that aspectually was don't wear your
school shoes on the court because the scuff these are
obviously ses.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
Usually the message wasn't don't wear black sold shoes.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
The message was wear white. So these are actually these
are Adam samders. I think their tennis shoes.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
No they're not. They're Badminton shoes. Are they really?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yes, they are Badminton has their own shoes, Yeah they do.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
The brief wasn't don't be wearing your school shoes out.
They weren't worried that they're not going to turn up
in their school shoes? Are They got them back to
school deal for everyone on the show.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
So what am I I'm looking at for it?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Surely have you got white sole trainers?

Speaker 5 (03:03):
I actually ten white sol trainer I could swap with you.
That's too small for me. Well, then we can't swap.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I thought we had everything covered.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
We did. Actually, it was the only instruction I was given.
It actually was the only instruction I was given. Make
sure the shoes are white.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Patty, there was a last minute yesterday we were told
that you can't get onto that court, and it's obviously
they're very generously giving it.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah, we aren't doing the.

Speaker 8 (03:31):
Show million dollar courts.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah exactly, and so you know what this place is
like with the old tightness of the budgets. So Caitlyn yesterday,
is it true that you were doing a big bulk
kmart white sneaker order?

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It had to be done by eleven.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Am, So there's no time.

Speaker 9 (03:51):
Hi, I send to you guys, Hey, do you need
white sole shoes?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Just let me know and I can get them all.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Nothing says Ao, You know, like you know, it's like
Style Nash everything down there and then us at this
show in Kmark traders now wait for that and so
one in their socks? Do we have a lost property
box here? You remember for games trainer sir after the
lost property box too? And small doesn't matter post.

Speaker 8 (04:17):
What size are you Jack?

Speaker 5 (04:19):
I'm an eleven?

Speaker 8 (04:20):
Do you reckon? There'd be a listener with a white
salt sneaker, Patsy.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
This is great here, we've got fifty minutes or one
of our contestantcy even we could be lucky and old
take their shoes.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
There's a guy who's six for eight is.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Playing yes, yes, yeah, he is saying, is anyone near
Richmond the next out that get pair of size eleven?
But wait, white salt white, very very hard caramel, the caramel.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So we have a last minute snack before we are
in forty five minutes time. We would all be live
from the Australian Open. Jack and I courtside, actually on
the court of the Key Arena. Sorry, I'll be on
the court. Jacoby outside trying to find some size eleven
white sold sneakers that he was told to bring yesterday,
and he said, don't worry, yep, tick got them. Turns

(05:09):
up someone with caramel covered. They are white trainers, but
the most important part of them, the soul, is caramel cover.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I interpret that obstruction as just not black schools.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
The key bit was clearly block capitols, white sold two words. Now,
I just had a thought. You know when you watch
c s I, they put those things over.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Their shoes, the bread bag.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
You've seen them in swimming pools. Dan't you just put
those blue things? Can we go and get some carrier
bags from Coals.

Speaker 10 (05:41):
Go over the road to the Apworth Hospital because they
wear those into surgery.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Just walk past Patsy well Done Atworth is around the corner,
would go on the way to the key and it
would go far the Atworth.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
But what's the what's the department at the Apworth where
you're allowed to come in as a non sick person in.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Some surgeon shoe covers? It's not like a bowling alley
where they have the sort of shoes behind the desk.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
What size do you need for these?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
The other one is this going to a supermarket then
and then getting carrier bags and she don't buy those
plastic ones.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
There's no plastic anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
What about you know women have their hair and cat
shower feet.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Would that be a bit slippery though?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Now?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
And hema has just coming from a listener called Mark Christian.
I've been catching up with the podcast this week, listening
to Jack complaining about his bad back.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
That's the other thing. That's why I can't have share
caps on my feet because my back is plain.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
I'm hearing excuses.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Well, that's what the subject of this EMA is about.
From a listener, Mark, Why do we only hear about
this when he is asked to do something different for
the show? No word about this bad back when he's
talking about his golf game he had to gim that
day he had to take off to go and take
a celebrity tournament. Christian, if you can't bend over pick
up tennis balls, how does he bend over its golf

(06:58):
ball on a tee for eighteen holes plus bending collect
to collect balls from hole to hole in its green,
Not to mention how many times he picks up the
ball off a line to put it. Got me thinking
how he would use any excuse to get out of
doing anything for the show. Have a great day, guys,
I'll be listening to him.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Mark God, thanks a lot.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
Mark.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh have you know I actually went for my back
because it has been in pain recently. I went to
a special ergonomic chair store last night. That's how seriously I'm.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Taking So what's an ergonomic chair store?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
They have different types of office chairs that improve your
posture while seated.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
So an actual chair is it enough?

Speaker 5 (07:32):
No, an actual chair is it? Could be doing untold
damage to my back?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
So how can the chair keep you in a better posture?
Would it be like a brace, like you're like an
iron man, it's sort of strapped into something.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Well, I saw an osteopath, and he recommended this. It's
a saddle chair.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Come on, I see those. It's more like those on
some of those websites. You look at okay, you want
to get paddled during the show.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
No chat.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
So from the bottom up it looks like a normal.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Office, a camera under the.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Mirror, and then the seat you're not.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And looking at me. You're not straddling.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Suddenly within next week I'll be sudden in this studio.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
It takes a pressure off your spine.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
It puts you in a better posture so that you
favus the city didn't look Jack then, I guess I
would look like I'm riding a horse because there would
be no horse there.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
You brought in some one of Gordy's toys does have rains.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
And so I guess they're pricing or they're not cheap.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
And I was hoping also maybe the conversation for off air,
but that Sue the boss would because it's a piece
of workplace furniture.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Mark Listen just emailed us the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Half an away, half an hour away from us being
live from the Australian open, Patsy, how was your yesterday?

Speaker 10 (08:56):
Well, I didn't think that i'd be a show for
work today, for this massive day that we've got planned for.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Knock it out of the park.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
We have.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
It seems to have been this constant visit to the
vet with Presley. He's had a lot of stuff.

Speaker 10 (09:09):
He had a lump taken off before Christmas, and now
he's got this other lump at the back of his
sort of leg that requires some ointment. And what it
does is it it numbs the area and clears it up. Anyway,
so we've got to apply it morning and night. And
I'm usually always whenever a pet needs their medicine, it's always.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Me that has Oh my god, that's so funny. It's
the same in my house almost like, hey, listen, I
think it's five o'clock. The dog needs that ointment again,
and I sort of look at her like chop chop.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
TikTok.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
It's always me.

Speaker 10 (09:42):
So anyway, yesterday I applied it, and the vet did
say to us, lovely, Maggie, O it at green Crushggie.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
You know, I feel like we're properly back nowas random
character in life that none of us will ever meet
or no suddenly get into stories that they don't need
to be their lovely make So she had a good
Christmas in New Year, she did.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Actually she just welcomed a new nephew, which.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Is shout out to Freddy.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (10:10):
Anyway, she said, look, just make sure you wash your
hands after you've used this ointment because it will numb
your finger, like you know, it won't hurt.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
You, but it'll be news fingers as well.

Speaker 10 (10:20):
Well they never stop anyway. So I did wash my hands,
of course, But then I do have a habit with
my nails. I sort of like, well, not chew them,
but I'll just like, you know, tap tap. I'm a
bit annoying like that with my nails. And obviously I
still had a bit of ointment up under my pointer
finger last night, and I.

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Felt only if it yes, it did, yeah.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
And down the side of my tongue started to feel
a bit fuzzy and.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
And for a bit like that, it must be pretty powerful.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
It must be.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, drip under the fingernail and a good glop.

Speaker 8 (10:55):
It was a decent glob of the stuff.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Also when you've washed your hands. How thorough was the
obviously not?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
I don't think she I think she choose her Now
you start to say, sometimes choo, I tap, actually who
taps on their mouths?

Speaker 10 (11:09):
But it was it was seriously numb for like twenty
minute for fall, A bit like that Lah fight.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'd like to hear just one news. Actually, don't like that, Patty,
have you got any of it now? And see what
it sounds like.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Still the thumbs up as where me chack and Pat's
telling me about the things we're into at the moment. Patsy,
what's it for you? Kicking off the You watched.

Speaker 10 (11:31):
So much stuff over the break, but one of my
favorite things was there's a new documentary on the Jerry
Springer Show.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh I've seen it. Isn't it a lot better than
I thought it was going to be? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (11:42):
On Netflix Jerry Springer fights camera action and it's like
a back ground look at this crazy great watch. And
Jerry had absolutely no editorial control. I didn't realize I've
had something, but he was just merely the host. It
was a real, really deep delve into the role of

(12:03):
the producers. And you thought a lot of it there
are actors and pretending, but no, that wasn't the case.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Because we grew up watching that show. There'd never been
TV like that. It really was like a human zoo. Yes,
and that was do you remember that actual fight. You
know there should be that big old Yeah, it's great.
It takes you back it to a moment in time
when that used to be huge. That ships and then
that strange bit used to do at the end, we try,
I'm moralize to make us feel a bit less grubby

(12:32):
about what I've been doing.

Speaker 10 (12:33):
Just bizarre and just you know how the producers it
was almost like a blood sport coming up with the
craziest plot for the next show, the.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Carl and Jackie Oh Show. To be honest, I mean
probably some of those producers moved on to that.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, they probably just watched.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Every three shows.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
And also just you know, the pursuit for ratings against
Oprah and got there in the.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
End of ye Oprah wasn't always this kind of open
that we know was super Soul Sunday. She was doing
this other kind of freak shows, very spring time stuff
like that.

Speaker 10 (13:07):
Well that was the days of early talk. Yes, it
was trashy like that until they found their feet.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
So I loved it. But he always had don't you
think he always had a little bit of like a
nod to the camera that he knew that it was
a ridiculous show that he come into.

Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I mean some of the plot lines.
There was a guy I'm in love with my pony
or something like like, he was having a relationship and.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Again they're doing that.

Speaker 10 (13:31):
The other thing that I've discovered, and I hate to
admit it, but we got home from holidays. I opened
the front door and this god almighty foul stench whacked
us in the face.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
We had a dead rat in the roof.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
The stink. We had one behind the fridge that we
didn't know been decaying there for weeks, literally just trashing
the house trying to work out what the smell was.

Speaker 8 (13:52):
Well, this was us.

Speaker 10 (13:53):
Chris pulled the fridge out. There was nothing under the fridge,
so we cleaned under there. We just couldn't And it
was weird because it was shifting around. It seemed like
it was shifting around the house anyway. So it's still
up there, it's died up there. I guess it's a
skeleton now. But the smell, and I remember Mike Granny
used to use this nil odor. It's this tiny little

(14:14):
bottle of it's kind of like an antiseptic, but it's
a deodoriser.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
What just for dean rats? It was a really niche.
How many of those they shift in a year?

Speaker 10 (14:25):
But it's brilliant and I thought it's concentrated deodorizer. It's
about five bucks a bottle at Coals and Woods.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I could have done with that years ago, for it
when the girls were right in peak teenage years, because
those bedrooms there's used to really FuG.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Because the clothes they just festering on the floor.

Speaker 10 (14:41):
Yeah, well this is great, and I thought, of course
we just I was using bleach and then all you
could smell was bleach.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
So what is it? What's the replacment smell?

Speaker 10 (14:47):
What is I don't know if I can describe it.
I want to say it's like a vanilla, but it's
not a vanilla.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
It's not a masking thing though, it's like trying to
take away the smell.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
So it's a neutral smell, neutral smell.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
I've got a great rat story.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Maybe later on, let's take a break, we'll come back
with Jack and Ize. Double thumbs Up.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
We're doing double thumbs Up this is where we go
around the team too. Things were into at the moment
before us. She was Jackie boy, what's the rat story?

Speaker 5 (15:16):
So my in laws were here right up until we
came back on Monday, and it reached peak hysteria over
the weekend when I heard yelling from another room like aha,
it's my mother in law, and I get they're in
the house so much that I begin to like hide
in different rooms of my own house to get a
little bit of a breather. So I didn't. I was like,

(15:37):
I'm not even going to deal with this. Whatever's going on,
let them deal with it. Screaming, screaming, and she's going
the rat the rat. Spanish is her first language, so
she's saying like, rat on, rat on. The one thing
I can't do is through rat.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
On powerful action.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
I know the venezuela, but that's very.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Good to me. So I can hear them through the
next room and they're make trying to make the sheets
on Gordy's bed and they said there's a dead mouse
living between his mattress and said that is that is
disgusted on.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
You.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
If that's true, that is very disgusting. So I see
my father in law come back from the kitchen with
a big garbage bag over his hand to come and
collect the rat. I go in behind him.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Backup.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Because he was he was in there. Should have pushed
the seat of the crime. It's his, it's his case.
My mother in law still yelling the right like, rocking
back and forth in the corner. He goes to grab
grab the dead mouse and it's Gordie's plastic rhino toys.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
All right, Jackie boy, what is double thumbs up for you?

Speaker 4 (16:51):
What have you enjoyed over the last couple of weeks?

Speaker 5 (16:53):
I mentioned the Ivichy documentary this week it's on Netflix.
I really like. It's called I'm Tim and I never
cared about electronic dance music. I actually always wondered how
it was so popular. But this is the first time
they ever watched a documentary that made me care about it.
And I care so much about a beach now and
we have had a veach here.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
It's a really interesting talent.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Obviously we like the kind of music which is guitar
and drumas and we know all that, but yeah, em
music is huge. It brings so many people so much joy,
and he's a real artist.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
And visionary. He deserves to be respected like.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
That, and he got to the point where every artist,
whether they were electronic music or not a cold Play,
wanted to work with him because of his talents as
behind the laptop and as a music producer. Then the
other thing I really loved is we're watching No Good
Deed on Netflix, which is Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrome.
They're a married couple.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
And you enjoy it.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
I was a bit cheesy. Yeah, yeah, I thought you
now I love love. I didn't. Yeah, I thought that
was just lukewarm. Yeah yeah. How far are you into it?

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well?

Speaker 5 (18:06):
He the how?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't want to give.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
What's happened to the brother? Has happened to the brother?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's where we're right, okay? Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Should we keep watching?

Speaker 9 (18:16):
No?

Speaker 4 (18:16):
No, no, keep watching? Keep watching?

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Now want mystery?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah yeah, you have to get to the end of
it as well. All right, just a couple of things
then for me, I read my first great book of
the year by some month Harvey. I read in a
couple of hours. It's a tiny little book, but it's beautiful.
It's called Orbital. I think it won like the book
a Prize. But it is such a great read. You
do it in a couple of hours, really really good book.
My daughter's got it for me for Christmas. Nate Baghetti,

(18:40):
one of the best storytellers, I would say the best
storyteller stand up in the world right now, dropped a
new special on Netflix over Christmas that is outstanding. Just
a masterclass in stand up and storytelling. It's a brilliant thing.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Did you see you know the Maps app Ways? Yes,
he's the voice of Ways.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yes, it's got such a great voice, isn't it Built
for comedy on Delivery? And then two other shows for
me as well. There's so many great spy shows at
the moment. It started a couple of years ago with
the huge success of an outstanding show, Slow Horses, and
then Dana Jackal, which I said last year I loved,
and then there's a new one now with Michael Fassbender.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
You've seen many of his films.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Is a good actor.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, that's it. He's in something called The Agency that
also has Richard Gearing. I haven't seen Richard again. He
stall looks. I mean, he's got to be late seventies now,
Oh my god, he still looks amazing. He's still just
one of the best looking leading men ever. I think
Richard Gears he's in that which is very good, and
Liones is outstanding as well. That's on Apple TV. Love

(19:43):
that finished the second season last weekend.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
I thought it was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Good morning, It's The Christian O'Connell Show, Friday morning, Big
show today, first naked hour of the year coming up
in twenty minutes time. But before all of that, since
last year, we've been building two today and now to
be stood right in the middle of Key Arena on
the court by this giant bullseye, were hopefully one of
sixteen of you trying to hit the ball over the

(20:12):
Key Arena into me and Jack where we're going to
be courtside. And then two amazing VIP prizes. It's the
Grand Slams. This weekend's the finals. You're off to the
women's and the men's. Let's get it on.

Speaker 11 (20:23):
On the eve of the finals, sixteen Christian O'Connell Show
listeners will battle it out for VIP seats to the
men's and women's finals. They must serve a tennis ball
from the outside. Ki arena, over the roof, over the seats,
over the net and into the court service face.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Many say it can't be done. Can that be serious?

Speaker 11 (20:48):
That O'Connell's a madman, that the odds are too great?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
But to watch the greats you.

Speaker 11 (20:55):
Must become a great who amongst them is worthy.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Time fun talk is over.

Speaker 11 (21:02):
The time fun serving is now live from Kier Arena.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
It's time to knock it into the park. Good morning,
It's a Christian O'Connors show. We are live from the
Australian Open. Let's go outside to the Key Arena now
where roaming rio and is fake BT, Tash and Jack
Posts are there with all the contenders today. Jack, can
you hear me, Christian? I can hear you loud and clear.

(21:30):
I'm all alone at the moment. Hopefully some balls are
gonna be dropping in to see me. Excuse me, madam.
During the next hour the tennis balls grow up everybody.
Jack described the scene there the other side of the
Key Arena.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
We are separated by the wall of the coliseum. I'm
outside the Key Arena ready to watch our contestants hit
the ball over the roof. What should happen is it
lands in the service court of the tennis court on
Key Arena. I'm gonna have the first go this morning,
all right.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Roaming rio with your BT Tash, are you also ready
to be picking up the action. Jack's going to be here,
going to be measuring the distance from closest to the pin.
If anything, don't manage to do this golden shot that
we're asking to How is everyone looking this morning, Christian?

Speaker 6 (22:11):
It's like being at rod Laver Arena for the finals.

Speaker 7 (22:14):
There is a lot of tension, there's a lot of
pacing around, very different characters. We've got Finn, our very
cocky youngster, been strutting around like he owns the place.
We've also got the world's tallest man. It's like we've
got Aquaman six nine. He's six foot eight, he's set
the fly swatter and he's an imposing figure. And then
we've got it's a real Motley Crui that you'll find.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Out, Maria. Why is someone wearing a doctor's love coat?

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Oh that's the fake doctor, Dr Rob.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Dr Rob.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
He's our physics expert.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
He's calculated exactly the angle and exactly how hard he
has to.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Hit it, so we have obviously given him a love coat.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Okay, let's be honest now quick for amongst the three
of us, do we think they're actually going to be
able to do this? Because I do believe that a
couple of them will get it over the roof right
and onto the court, but obviously it's over the other
side of the net where I am.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Do we think they're actually going to do this?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I think I believe.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
I think we'll see some balls go over the roof,
which is a feat in itself. But you can't see
the tennis court from out here, so.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Hang a minute.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
There's some childish arrows that produce a Caitlin put on
the floor. Of course, you can follow the yellow brick road.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
There's a four cardboard cutouts of.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Someone's doing their skill project down here, not an adult.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Pointing towards the arena. So from the outside we can
get the general idea of where the court is, but
it's going to take a lot of life.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
See if anyone needs, you can probably guess where the
court is. In the middle of the arena. It's a
big carty shaped thing. Who's going to be looking towards
like Olympic boulevard, smashing it that way?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
All right?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
All the hitting starts in a couple of minutes time.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Christian O'Connell show go on podcast.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Good Morning with Life from the Australian Open this morning,
I'm in the middle of Key Arena. We're in and
two minutes time the game is going to start. Knock
It into the Park to open the tournament officially. The
one and only Jack Posts as Cross now live to
the other side of the Key Arena.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
I wish I didn't volunteer for this, Christian. All the
contestants have started asking me or just saying, we're going
to watch how you hit it and then use that
information to judge how far we hit it, how high
we hit it. And I'm not a tennis player.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
No, it's more like your crash test, dummy right now?

Speaker 5 (24:27):
Okay, are you ready?

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah, good luck, Good luck Jack. To officially open knock
it into the Park. The first shot fired is Jack Post,
show them how it should be done?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Jack, what is it?

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Straight into the roof.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
It didn't make it even probably halfway up the roof.
It was barely over.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Halfway just like all the competitors. In a minute, you
get two serves. Okay, so that was your first one.
The warm up shot has been fired.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
We have time for a quick rebuttal that wasn't weak,
risks actually very hard.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
It was so bad.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Okay, second shot, make it count. Knock it into the
wreena jack, Come on, I'm looking up high.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Anything.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Oh it's just cleared the roof via a matter of millimeters.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh dear, has it landed here?

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Bore?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
The only thing that's landed here some bird poop. Now
he has this landed? You got it? Engineering. You're just
courtside at the edge of the court. We're just measuring
how far away you were from the target in the
service box, Caitlyn. How far away was his short? But
he got it onto the court?

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Twelve meters so close.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
So close. No room at the finals for you. All right,
let's play a song when we come back. It all begins.
Knock it into the park. Here On The Christian O'Connell
Show on Gold I'm looking at a clock on the
court course. It's a Rolex one. It's just straight and open.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I want that rodex clock in the studio now.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Christian O'Connell Show Live from the Australian Open John the
next hour and a half then sixteen of you are
the other side of the Key arena. Jack is now
joining me back on the court. We're literally stood on
the court right now. Whether it's a Legends game, doubles game,
right here, yesterday, evening, all around, whether you normally have
the top tier sponsors, Jack and advertisers, is knock it

(26:21):
into the park and our show we label and the
great thing is no one can see it. That's our
kind of marketing. He's see it on Instagram and five
of us. I'm sure I really appreciate it. I'm sending
pictures home to our mum and dad. They'd be so
proud I've made it to the Australian Open in some form.
All right, Rio is outside the Key arena. Let's get
this started, Rio, are you ready? Who is hitting?

Speaker 6 (26:40):
First of all, Christian, I'm here with our gen z
alpha male. Finn.

Speaker 7 (26:44):
He's cocky, he's arrogant, and he's only getting cockier by
the second.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
He's ready to go.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I thought you're talking about yourself there, you've met your
double gain.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
He's talking into a mirror during the what are you
talking about? Pump up?

Speaker 3 (26:57):
All right? So we got Finn? You got Finn there? Yes, yeah,
he's on the mic. All right, Finn, good luck. How
are you feeling right now?

Speaker 5 (27:04):
History awaits a bit nervous seeing how high this thing is,
but we'll see how I go. I reckon. I'm still confident.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Okay, so you get two shots. Good luck, Fin.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's always tough being the first one, but we'll wish
you all the best luck favors the brave Finn off
you go.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Thank you? All right?

Speaker 7 (27:18):
Ready he's lining up three two, one, bang.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Bob, don't look that noise the roof a right, hear that? Listeners,
there's a noise, isn't there? The rack kit kind of went, oh,
I got a ball going over shot. I've seen the stands.
It bounces twice. It is in the stands. I would say,
row three, he made it too good? I guessing there yet?

(27:45):
Rod three? Hey first, so two of you now, Jack
of the practice shot. But Finn did hit it into
the arena first shot this morning. Well done, Finn. Rio
who's up next?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
All right, we've got doctor Rob.

Speaker 7 (27:56):
He's our physics expert, and he's calculated all the parabblers,
every little variable involved, and he's gonna hit it straight in.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
He tells me Jack I've got no idea what a
parable it is?

Speaker 3 (28:05):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Hope?

Speaker 3 (28:07):
It sounds big, it sounds fancy. All right, Dr Rob,
are you ready?

Speaker 5 (28:11):
I'm ready, Christian.

Speaker 12 (28:12):
It's a thirteen kilometer west of southwest winds, so the
barabola probably needs to be at a round about forty
five meters and a with a ball weighing fifty six grams.
We're talking about one point five killer duels of energy.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Okay, he's crunched the numbers. He's ready to go. Okay,
Dr Rob, bring all the science now to athleticism. Unleash
your inner power. Off you go, Dr Rob. First shot?

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Oh straight, that clang there.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
We don't need a sound effect, are we going? Do
we need a sound efit like we heard it?

Speaker 6 (28:45):
Second shot coming up. Oh it's worse than the first shot.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Oh my god, that sounded.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
We're going to be putting.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
That all right? That doctor's been struck off, Bye bye,
Dr Rob. Who's up next?

Speaker 5 (28:58):
For all right?

Speaker 7 (28:59):
We've got Stephen who his wife is a sam STOs
that look alike.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Apparently that's good enough to get a spot in the competition.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
This is one of those where you're like, how did
they get through? We are thousands going to pick me?
Pick me?

Speaker 5 (29:09):
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the sam STOs
that look alike here.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
I said on air, where it's like she can come
down and take part.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
We've got the husband.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Okay, we got the ring up. The guy who's going
to win it.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
He said he's gonna get it in twice, so there's
a lot.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Of pressure that he's all right, all right, good luck, good.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Luck Stephen, A good luck Steven. Three two one. He's
moved very close.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Oh, he's gone overarmed and it's over the road sounding.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's in the arena onto.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
The court, so it's the first one we've had on
the court. Is just behind the umpire's box, so it's
not a legal serve. We're about to find out how
far he is currently is the closer, how.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Far away we are?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Fifteen?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Great first shot though, very strong, sounded clean. Okay, let's
get the second serve.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Let's go Stephen. He's doing overarm serves. Oh that's good,
it's high.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
It's huge. Monster shot in the exactly pretty much in
the exact same position as his first one behind the umpires.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Tell you what, we can't fault his accuracy.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Fifteen meters.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
I would say, okay, well done, very good going so far.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Who's up next, Rio, Christian, We've got our supermum.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Kelly.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
She's a frustrated mum of four and she's ready to
blow off some steam.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
One of the listener favorites.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
One of the listener favorites.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Good morning, Kelly, Good morning Christian.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
How are you now?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Listen good? I wish you all the best. You are
one of the listener favorites. You know why, because they
understand that frustration. I need to channel all that energy,
all that anger and that frustration into the racket, into
the ball and knock it into the Areena Kelly, I'm
going to try to do this, get it on.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
I'm going to try. Good luck, come out, thank you.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Here we go, right, here we go, Kelly, she's lining up.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Come on, Kelly, under arms.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
It's going to clear the roof. Key Okay.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Actually, it actually costs us money to retrieve the balls
every time it gets stuck on the roof.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
So contestants, if we can.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Please clear that roof.

Speaker 7 (31:11):
It's clipped the top corner of the roof and bounced
back towards us.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Unfortunately, Kelly, Kelly, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 13 (31:20):
All right, let's get one more, one more, all right,
our last one for this round.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
We've got prew. She is a mom.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
She's hit the ball over her own house with a
wooden racket. She now has a technifiber racket from Racket World,
a modern racket best.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I think Djokovic is playing with a couple of them tonight.
He went out there yesterday to Epping to get them.
He got that ten percent discount as well. He loves
a bargain. It's the joker. All right, good luck, kiss
my ace.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Let's go prow.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
All right, here we go, prew three two one.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
H hit.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
She's shaking it off and she's ready to go for
a second serve. Come on through three.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Sous over Here we go.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
That's better.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Oh it's the closest one so far.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
It's a few meters short of the baseline, so not
a legal serve, but it could be our closest that
we have yet.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Great shot though, Oh wow, so good, very good. All right,
let's play in excess right now. Seven twenty six, Christian
O'Connell's show on Gold Live this morning from the Australian Open.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Going to the giant Rolex watch on court at the
Key Arena. That's leaving with me. I'm putting in the
back of an uber. I'm out of here. Just try
and stop me. Just try and stop me. Australian Open
Jack and I alive. This morning. We are on the
court at the Key Arena for Knock It into the Park.
There are sixteen contenders outside the arena. Each morning gets
two shots, two serves to get it onto the court here.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
So far five have taken their shots.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Only two have made it even into their a and
now close as he's fifteen meters short of an illegal serve.
So he's our current leader. His name is Stephen. He
got in because his wife looks like Sam Stozer.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's good enough for us. That is literally wild seed.
You know there's somebody's doing that in Grand Slams and
wild seed. He's our wild seed. But everyone's done very
well so far though. I've just had a quick look
on the video replay. I've seen what happened with doctor
Robs when it somehow, you know, he was all the
talk of. He crunched all the numbers, the physics, the angles,
he was moneyballing it. Oh well, he money, boughed it
back at himself. The ball goes up into the end.

(33:30):
Somehow he bent space and physics. Stephen Hawking will be
spinning in his grave right now and it comes back,
comes back on top of him and goes behind extraordinary
scenes here today, all right, let's get into the Naked Hour.
Play the music.

Speaker 14 (33:44):
Oh Christian, we've got no songs for the whole hour.
Oh nick nig nig nick nig nag naked our Naked Hour.
Oh neck niggigg nig nigg leggd hour, Naked Hour.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Just realize Jack and I do in the show today.
We're in the open. We're in this you know what
is it like five and a half thousand and sixties
and six thousand seat stadium. There's no one here. We
literally I feel like someone we're talking, feels like we're
talking to ourselves.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
It's a strange Felix speaking.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
All right, So today then the theme last hour. You're
picking all the music in the song title day for
the Naked Hour. We give you the topic. You pick

Speaker 10 (34:45):
Holding Aces nineteen eighty five. Feedured not just one, but
two Huey Lewis songs on the soundtrack Back to the Future,
Wild You.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
It might be worth you thinking about other songs that
are never from the eighties whenever we ask you for
any songs. I love the eighties, right, but you only
ever go with the eighties. You ate the nineties and
the two thousands.

Speaker 10 (35:05):
Oh, I know I've done some nineties, sprinkled a bit
of nineties thousands.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
It is, boy, what are you going for?

Speaker 5 (35:12):
I've gone for the word love as well in my
title I've gone love fool by the Cardigan.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Good Tune Atty Won't nine. It's not for you, Nay
quite please, spectators, quite please, all right. I've gone for
another word other than love. I've gone with this song

(35:40):
I'm a smoker. Play tonight very c yeah, alright ninety
four one four one oh four to three. What songs
should we played from eight this morning. You're picking all
the songs. Something in the title do with tennis. Let's
go back now is pick up the action. The hitters
are primed. Rio is the other side of the key arena.

(36:00):
Who do you have ready to go?

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Christian?

Speaker 6 (36:01):
I'm here, the sun's up and a crowd is gathering.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
We've got ball boys, we got umpires, we've got administrators
walking through.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
There's about to the administrators, the bureaucrats the way.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
How much aren't they? I can't start thinking that we've
got to pay to get any balls at the land
on the What is that? How do you charge something
like that?

Speaker 6 (36:20):
We'll find out the costs will drop. A cost for
you in the song is.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Like a gym.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
It's Jim's ball collectors.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
I think Jack has to go off.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
All right then, so who's already here?

Speaker 6 (36:31):
We've got Richard, the women's cricket coach.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
He smashes balls out of stadiums for a living, and
now he's going to smash one into a stadium and
hopefully win two amazing tickets.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Rich Yeah, good luck, Richard, Thank you, Richard. How are
you feeling? You think you can do it? No one
on the court yet.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
Feeling good.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Thank you, solid glutes. Let's go whoa oh no, sounded
like a trickler.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
Allright.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Is how Australia plays cricket.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
It's saying this all that's sorry.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
It's Shore is coming in. It's oh in the stands.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
It's okay. Richard's quick, the quickest one, the closest one yet.
I would guess twenty five.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Don't mother measuring it? Okay, Rio, who have you got
tough like Richard? Who's up next?

Speaker 5 (37:21):
Up here?

Speaker 7 (37:21):
We've got the dog walker, Tim, he's been practicing for
five years.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
Whacking.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
They give a better intro.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Than a dog walker. What's he just walking his dog? Nearby?

Speaker 3 (37:28):
The dog walker?

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Anyone can be.

Speaker 13 (37:30):
One, just to shout out to my dog Billy for
getting me here. Thanks rich Oh, all right, listen, good
luck buddy. Okay, all right, he's lining up. Great carves
on him.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Whack. Oh, he's hit at high but coming in. It's
coming in.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
I see it. Oh, just behind the roll, landed on
the court.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
Great shot.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
If I could say anything, he was aiming it just
to the right. He's right, you're right straight.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
Oh, that's a good one. It's in the stadium.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
Shore as well. Okay, that's very close. I understand where
it was. I'm going to say that that's ten meters
away from and.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
So well done.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Both shots. Both shots onto the court. Again, not a
legal serve, but it's not to inclapart both shots. Is incredible,
not really that straight. The tank measure that's going on
at the moment, ten minutes of what it's all curvy
shot is measuring. I've never seen how many meters.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
Yes, tens bang and yelling at me, give me Bundy
and coke.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Alright, rio, let's get one more.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
All right, we've got Live and Nick here, our double act.
Live is actually pregnant. So we've got Live Nick. They
got engaged on a tennis court. We've got our first
pregnant hitter.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
These people are just tennis mad. They just love this year.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
So they're going to hit at the same time.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
No, they're going to do one straight after another.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
So lives getting no, no.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
No, no, let's do it the same time. Double shots,
double shots on a Friday.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
All right, they're lining up, they're facing.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Good love, all right, Leave and Nick hitting together.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Three, two, one, go, Oh, yes, it's over.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
The court.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Wow, we no messing four meters from the service box.
It's the first one to land in the court.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
I've actually got goosebumps.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
I can't tell if I Live or nixt shot which
one went over the roof.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
That probably would have been Nick's Live hit the roof,
so unlikely it was her, so I reckon that's probably Nick.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
They play us one, They play us one.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
There are current leaders and do you know what the winner?

Speaker 3 (39:46):
He is here right now? Love, okay, the second shot
right now? Oh no, they just get the one because
another case, mister rule. All of a suddenly giant square
hang out with the administrators.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Again. Three two, one, come on, you can do this.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Double shots. The power one comes in.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
But it's not going to challenge the leader at the moment.
So Nick and Live are currently four meters from the
service box, so they are our closest served so far.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Well done, guys. We're going to take a break. We'll
come back to Knock It into the Park.

Speaker 2 (40:28):

Both shots well done, big groundplause for the young sensation
there from the crowd, Administrators and bureaucrats.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
Did you find out, Rio, how much a custom retreat

Speaker 6 (44:38):

He hits a squash ball so hard it exploded, And
now he's going to give a tennis ball the biggest whack.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
That he can.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Only a man would say something like that, I hit
it so hard it exploded.

Speaker 5 (44:58):
They have to close the squash course up a.

Speaker 3 (45:02):

Right.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
This is Keith.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
He's we're called in the Chancer because when he first
called in he thought he was winning a spot in
the actual Australian Open.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
I remember this character. Yeah, surprise he's still with us.

Speaker 6 (45:57):
He does keep wondering where we've got to.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Keep through the next They won't officially confirmed by me

trying out and fil AGAINSTOK, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (46:09):

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Keith the Chancer?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Good luck mate?

Speaker 5 (46:11):
All right, let's go Keith. Here we go.

Speaker 6 (46:13):
He's lining up three two, one.

Speaker 5 (46:23):
Short of the baseline of the chord.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Great first shot and he's got the direction perfect.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
That is the best aim of Saint Rio. So just
get him to put a bit more source on it, a.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Bit more juice. It's so easy for Jack and I
to say that, just put some effort into it.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Keith, Whack, Here we go, have the sauce that bad.
He's in the cord. He's in the chord, but it's
going to be have our best shot.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
So far, he's in second place at the moment. Cool Keith,
well done.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Christian O'Connell's show Live from the Australian Open for Knock
at Into Park.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
We're into the hour of power.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
We give you a theme. You pick all the songs
today because we're lying from the It's treaight and open
anything of the song. Time to a tennis Friday. I'm
in love by the cure. A lot of the listeners
who are down there taking parts trying to knock their
tennis balls into the court here at the Key Arena
are saying, Christian, these are no normal tennis rackets, and
they're right. They've been strung by one of the world's

(47:18):
greatest tennis racket stringers. His earth name is Nathan. He's
from racket World and he just that's his medium. That's
how he comes alive, that's how he works. It's so
every one of these hitters today are hitting not with
normal tennis rackets. They're not for members of the public.
They're for real pros. Actually, you can buy them with
a very beautiful ten percent discount you simply whisper. Make

(47:38):
sure there's no one overhearing it. He's not one of
our lovely listeners.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
You say, God.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
And Nathan will give you a whopping ten percent off
until the end of the month.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
Rio, are you there, I'm here, Christian. I do have
an update for you.

Speaker 7 (47:52):
It's gonna cost us two hundred and fifty dollars plus GST.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
So that's another ten percent.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Who's given you a quote for that? That's what it
costs to retrieve?

Speaker 3 (48:01):
How many on the roof?

Speaker 6 (48:03):
Currently one?

Speaker 7 (48:03):
So we're two hundred and about two hundred and seventy
five dollars down at the moment.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
Yeah, I'll do it for two hundred cash. That's a
good deal. That's a good deal, all right.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Rio, We're down to the final five. There were sixteen
the final five. Now who is going to be win
those tickets to both of the finals this weekend? Who
have you got with you? Rio?

Speaker 7 (48:24):

four hitters left, Christian, and these are all I would.

Say, Oh, wait, did you find the guy who just
wandered off we walk? Someone went for a walk?

Speaker 5 (48:34):
Actually, where has he got a git?

Speaker 6 (48:36):

Speaker 5 (48:38):
Keep control of your contestants.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Please, job out there.

Speaker 7 (48:42):

Oh that's over, definitely.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
It's coming high towards jack, just short of the baseline again,
so close, just a bit more power, but a good direction.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Beautiful man explaining from the jack. It's more power, little lady.

Speaker 5 (49:45):

Speaker 3 (50:35):
One of those big lanky knees. Now he hit Jack's
bony knee.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
That means our two leaders at the moment are both
about four meters from the service box.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
We are getting closer, Jack, we are getting closer to
the target.

Speaker 5 (51:38):
What are you going to do and get a more

this this is.

No, I didn't they change a rule that now they're
allowed to communicate more with the players.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Because so much to his back foot, I fought allowed
to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
I thought they were now allowed to do it, because
weren't they doing it anyway through secret code? And they thought,
all right, let's just let them talk now.

back out there anyway.

Friends. We have to be out of here in about
one minute's time. It's not the easiest place to get
out of I'm not sure because it is a big arena,
but it took us about five minutes to walk around
to get in. And Q is the young lad that
makes all our videos for the show. He said goodbye
to us half an hour ago. He's still wondering what
to get out. He doesn't know how to get It's

(01:04:51):
like not night in the musicum in the key arena.
I think we won't see him Monday. He's walking around
looking down at you by, isn't he. I think he's
checking his.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Jee somewhere in New South Wales?

of some dungeons and trap and stuff going on.

We have to get back on here.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Okay, well, guys, thank you very much to everyone that
came over the last couple of weeks, so many of
you desperate to take part in this. I really hope
please Australian Open, can we do this again next year?

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
It was so much fun.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Really really, it was a big ask, a huge ask.
It's a hard thing to do. Everyone who came and
tried was brave enough to give it a go, and
that's the classic Aunsie's spirits.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
So thank you very much. I've loved this today.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
It's been the strangest thing I've ever done in my life,
standing in an empty arena hoping that a tennis ball
might come, saying but let's do at the same time
next year. Have a great long weekend. We are back Tuesday.
Goodbye from the Key Arena and knocking in the park,
