Christian. Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. All right, let's get into

What Are the Odds? Now half an hour ago we were talking about do you have a transport-related

surname and we had this call from Gina which actually is, no only did she have a transport-related

surname but actually it was a kind of an early. What are the odds? My surname is Upward. The best thing is, my husband's aunt, who was an Upward, married Forward.

So we've got cousins who are forwards as well.

What does all this mean? It means this.

Believe it or not, oh, what are the odds?

You gotta be Joshin me.

Like were you an Up who married a foreword?

Upward or forwards.

Believe it or not, we don't know.

Traveling around Victorian wine country with my father-in-law a while ago, the guy who was a winemaker was serving her, he used to be a carpenter. Turned out that he was a carpenter who made the rowing boat that my father-in-law rode in the 1956 Olympics and won a bronze medal in. Preparing my breakfast just the other day, I cracked open the egg and had two yolks inside the one egg, and then I went on to have a banana and there were two bananas inside

the one peel.

My mum was born in Scotland.

She grew up in two addresses, one in John Street, one in Park Road.

Many years later, my dad was set up with my mum on a blind date.

Ended up getting married and my dad's name is John Park.

Wow.

We also have an early one from our very own Huggy. Hey Christian, hi guys, it's Huggy. I've got a what of the odds for you. As you know, it was my birthday last week. It was my sons the day after, but I've got two older brothers and both of them have got kids that were born the day after their birthdays as well.

Pretty good. Yeah, it really is. And I guess you want to why it's so noisy, he roller skates to work every day. All right, what are the odds? This one comes from Tony to do with one of the ones we had on last week. We just heard the replay there about the rowing and the wine making. Christian, I have a lawnmower and business. Listen to a show each morning between jobs. last week I was listening to What Are the Odds?

I heard the caller mention that her father-in-law was talking to a winemaker. Then they found out that the winemakers' uncle built the boat to win a bronze medal in the 1956 Olympics. One of the rowers in that eight-man rowing boat was Garth Manton who passed away early this year.

This was the oldest medalist from 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. Coincidence, what are the odds?
