Sound funny? Yesterday I was talking about we were talking
about scratch and sniff stickers. Yes, and I've ordered thirty
nine sheets. They should be arriving today at home, so
hopefully I can start bringing them in and rewarding Cobaba
from the team. I got an email from somebody that
also takes as well. They make scratch and sniff stickers,

(03:49):
so I applied to them yesterday at the team there
and said, do you also make bespoke ones? They do.
They've agreed that because I said, could I make some
for the breakfast show to give away to listeners? And
I and maybe it's a radio or something I don't
know that we send out.

our own.

smell in the morning, what makes you feel good in

Is it a blend m coffee and toast coffee? Okay?
What a smell it is? Scratch and give to a listeners? Yes, yes,

(04:53):
you know that smell we're talking about yesterday, Patsy. In
terms of it, I want the listeners when they scratched
the show to release a pleasing smell. Yes, we were
talking about the smell of methylated spirits and the old
hand cranked printing.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Machine that metho in the sticket. We can't do that.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's probably highly illegal. Actually, the something terrific a safer.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Okay, like a bunning sausage or something.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh do you mean fried onions?

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, like you know, like a sausage sea or like
a barbecue.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, fried onions. I don't think we can claim that.
I feel it was coffee. I can't claim onions that
belongs that is this, that is one of the I
would say distinctive smells of Australia snag. But the snack
doesn't have a smell the onions does. I can't they
claim to that. It would be the worst kind of

(05:45):
cultural appropriate. I simply won't Australia. I simply won't. I mustn't.

Kids Are Never Told of a meltdown. Just over two
weeks time, our eldest daughter Ruby turns twenty one and
she's had her eyes on some big, oversized sort of
trench coat car. Yeah, very much in this season by ladies.
And so I said, look, i'll meet you, you try
it on, and then if you like it, maybe I'll

(07:15):
buy it for you. Okay, So I meet yesterday's very
She's really keen for me to come and see this jacket. Okay.
So I get there. You know what out of here yesterday?
Did the show me to know? I was there at
ten o'clock. The story is opening, there's no one else there.
We go in and within ten minutes she's having a
mount down in there, and we are having a kind
of argument that's not really a proper argument, but she's

(07:38):
having a meltdown. We've all been this. You know, when
you reallyset your heart on something for like a week
or two. I'm going to get that. You imagine who
you're going to be in holy person, whole new world
of possibilities opening up, right, and then it just you know,
when you put it on, you try and convince you yes,

(07:58):
it's a style. This was that scene yesterday. Oh god,
I so wanted that jacket be right. So it was.
It was just way too big, right, funniness right, So
we put we put on small and it's too big
for her. And I don't want to think they're doing
it's oversized anyway, They're do an extra small. I'll go
and find it, Okay. She tries on the next to small,

(08:19):
and I started to get giggles because it's like she
keeps looking herself in the mirror. She knows what's not there. Yes,
but She's still flicking between that influence within the image
she thought she was going to have in it. And
I hadn't even saidenly think and I want. I was
really trying to hold but words. I was serving that
she'd arrive at her own decision. Yeah, this ain't the

(08:39):
jacket for you. She doesn't. So I go, hey, listen,
you're the leader of the French resistance. What time? What
time are the Normandy landing? You be very mean now
we both know. I said, listen, I want you to
have a really nice jacket. It's part of your twenty
first and all that. But I said, this thing is huge.

(09:01):
I said, right for starters, you can't drive the car,
and that she goes, no, I know, all right, so
you're never driving anywhere in it. You've gotta called it
up eighty seven times. I just saw them. They could
put people in that get them off the Titanic. It's
and I said, I can't even see your fingertips.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
It looks like she's wearing her dad's.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It looks like you've got my jacket. I said, it's
actually ninety nine percent jacket, one percent roubes. You can't
hide from the world. Now you're almost twenty one.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Kid, it's very brave of you to take the leap
and say that, because she is actually deep down looking
for someone to tell her not to get it.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
But it's hard to.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Then she was doing that thing, and it's one of
my favorite things. The kids now, the ages they're out
where she was mad laughing. That's as good as it gets. Now,
that's as good as it gets, so I know, And
so I took her to two other stores. She still
didn't like it. So we're now tomorrow you know what's
calling me go back out there. But now we're going

spagbo on Monday night last night. These are not my words.
These are Nagi who we worship on the show of
Recipes and Eats. This is the most popular of all
chicken breast recipes I have ever published. That one line
claim you've got me, plus she said, I guarantee this
is a juicy, oven baked chicken breast. But sometimes a

(19:41):
chicken breast can be dry.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
It gets card boardy.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Just the next a couple of minutes and it's you know,
you'd hear too much of the clanking. That's the knife
there on there on the clanking, carve up that dry, old, flaky, desiccated,
good word, dehydrated chicken breast. Not this so good, was it?

Give it up when it's really good. It deserves to be,
as that very exciting guy it's about. I can't wait
to share it with you what I wrote on there
as well. I'm thinking, as there maybe a new thing
we could start, because these days everyone's a reviewer. Yeah,
anytime you can leave a review, can we create some
kind of game or competition where we give them a
word of the day the person who can most creatively

(20:55):
put that to an online review. It's a private joke
between just the people that listen to this radio show.
The rest of the world will just put flibberty gibbs
an odd word to say about a shoe. Okay, each
to her own, but we will know. Oh they've used
so the best way interview anyway. Okay, Patsy, you're getting

That's today's word today the phrase at bays you go
there and he say Billy Buddy boo? Was he really
Billy Joe? Billy Joel? No juicy chicken.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Dinner because she married for Job's son.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's right. Was the wedding I thought when I saw
the post, I thought it was a t They've expanded
the universe bon Jovi's sons involved. Now they're not going
to hurt him in this. Otherwise that's really going to
be a big eighties kind of vibe and a war.
But yes, he was the wedding suthing Matthew Modine, the actor. Wow. Right.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
So it was, you know, right at the climax, and
I was starving. I hadn't eaten all day and we
were watching Stranger Things. It was like, oh my god,
like the last episode. So my god. So I just
went to the pantry. Needed something really quick, and I
just got a box of the good old Savoy biscuits.

(23:48):
Oh brilliantvoid business right, And I thought, I'll just have
a nibble on those and then we'll get dinner underway.
Bob's your uncle.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
It'll be good.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
But I was banished from the lounge room because apparently
I was eating too loud.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Go figure, let's playback. Oh my goodness, that's so loud.
Someone standing on gloves in a tense moment like this

(24:24):
worre thing at the cinema. Is someone just over to
your left shoulder doing Oh you have to do it
because I don't just wait, pump it into your crisps.
Then it's not unwrapping the wrappers slowly, But that makes
it worse his torture. Get on with it. It's impressive
you're able to eat that loudly?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (24:44):
That wouldn't say it's impressive. I would say it's iggressive.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Driving Chris insane, and he snatched the box and he said, sorry,
you're going to have to like either go in another
room and eat those or not eat and watch. So
into another room now.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
But just ken, and you've heard the audio. You don't
think it is the biscuit?

Speaker 6 (25:01):
Yeah, so I heard it last night and that does
not sound like a Safoy crunch.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh yeah, no, it's a Savoy biscuits.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
What do you think it is?

Speaker 6 (25:07):
It sounds like a Smith's cheap or something thinner.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
No, no, I think you are. In my mind, I had
like a chicken flavors, the smith's cris the corrugated sort
of wavy one. Are they they're louder?

Speaker 4 (25:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, no, no, I think I think you're trying to
sort of hire since bouquet up pretend too common having
the smith's crisp.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Can I say, shopping day is Friday? There is no
way that there are still chips left in our pantry
by a Tuesday. Not last that long.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
The biscuit you're saying this is savoy. The Savoy is
a softer. It's delicate, but I don't think it's as
crunch as this. That's a proper chip. It's just crisp. No, no, no,
it's that is too thin. What's been broken there? And
the savoy has a greater density.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
I would say three or four pringles stacked together.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Actually my sour cream. Listen, yeah, okay, yeah, sour cream, yes, yes, yeah,
So Matt, what do you think it is?

Speaker 6 (26:15):
I think it's a Smith Chip crunchy one.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
What we're playing here is a kind of snack Chazam. Listens,
what do you think that is?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Christian O'Connell show go On podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
We're about to talking about memories that have a smell.
These are called smellaries. Before that, though, Patsy was just
telling us about last night. She's just finished season four
or Stranger Things ahead of the big season five one
that drops at the end of November than over Christmas,
and she was saying that this was a savoy that
she's crunching. Real Now there's some consternation amongst a team

(26:58):
that Actually, Producer, Kaitlin, you don't believe that is the savoy.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
It's just not the sound of savoy. That's the sound
of a Smith chip crunching. It's so thin sounding.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Christian, I'm hearing this. I'm hearing one hundred percent of dorito,
you'll get the combined hard and crunchy and then the
soft air pocket in one chip. I know this crunch.
I felt this crunch. This is the crunch we hadn't
thought about the whole dorito. Is this a dorito now?
Air pocket? Yes, air pocket, that sharp triangular. It's the

(27:30):
crisp toblerone. Isn't it be careful not to get at
wedged at the palette the top of here like a toberone?

Speaker 5 (27:36):
And would you normally just eat savoys by themselves to dryhmember.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
The savoy has little air pockets throughout it, like tiny
little pin pricks through the biscuit.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
True, good counterpoint there, Christian, I with Patsy. It's definitely
one hundred percent a savoy. Yes, they're hard, they're crunchy,
dry as a bone also, which is why I'm suspencing.
It definitely is found in every Bogan household. How very jaious,
how very rude for a cheap cheese board. I hate

(28:09):
that map.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
It could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Logan out of your mouth. No, no, no, no, all right.
Let's move on then to smells with a memory partic kating.
It's daveled off cool water for you? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
It's just my.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Teen year I used to smear myself and this stuff,
go out looking for a girlfriend. Reacon of it like
a kind of David offer so much it was a repellent.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, mine, I reckon.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
I got it at the age of fourteen as my
first ever perfume, and.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
I wore weigh too much to school.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Off cool water.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
You were you wearing women's perfume?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
We Hey, listen, it's twenty twenty five. You know it
wasn't back there she was. You're probably just curious.

Speaker 11 (29:01):
No, there was a woman's version of it.

Speaker 7 (29:02):
I think it was a light.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Of blue, that's right. Yeah, yeah, let's let's go with
that one. I didn't want to. I don't want to
nudgine that way. You know, it's not it's not for me,
but anyway level.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Cool of course was that Michael Bolton.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I think it is definitely marketed for the kind of
rugged guy like you, like me and our friend Klee.
To be honest, you know, just confused. She's rugged, she's rugged,
she's rugged. We'll agree with rugged. I'll tell you what though,
I still love that that smell. I don't buy it anymore.
But when I'm at an airport and you know you've

(29:54):
got some time to kill and go and wander around
those old school sets, they're still there, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
In the little cardboard.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yes, yes, and they're very aggressive salespeople leap out from
behind the brain. Yeah, they do without equal before you
could even Shane. Oh, I still have.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
One in my glove box. Oh do you? I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
I have just kept it in there, and I reckon,
I've had it in there for ten years and I
use it before I go to the gym, just to
sprit before.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Why not in a fresh enough It's like a thing. Yeah,
I like that. Yeah, maybe tomorrow the show What's in
your glovebox? You've got David off co Water that is
high end glove boxing. I've got to be honest, all right, Patsy,
what's what's the smellery for you to smell? With her memory?

Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know what it is?

Speaker 7 (30:39):
For me?

Speaker 4 (30:39):
It's youth Jew perfume, which was an este Lord perfume.
You can still get it. And my mum and all
of her sisters, so my seven aunts, they all wore
youth jew and so whenever I smell.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
It, I've never heard of a pats.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
It's gorgeous. Madonna wears it apparently, and they used to
get it in like the bath oil form, so it
was even more pungent when I smell it. I also
smell cigarettes smoke in amongst it, because of course everyone smoked.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
In that eighty my Auntie's did, uncles.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Even though there's no sort of nicotine scent within.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
The niketine behind the ears nicotines.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
These and my aunt's and mum, it's always.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
What is to smell of a careful pronouncing that into
this world right now with everything's going on out there.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
You must.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
You it's not chanuting that again, we could get canceled.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, but it's like a husky, musky sort of heavy.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
It's very heavy.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Anyone want anyone looking for a musky heavy I want
to smell. I'm going to be at the airport flying
away Friday and I'm going to go and find one.

Speaker 2 (31:53):

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Jew It's actually really lovely.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Christian O'Connell sh podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
The only way we're going to settle was Patsy really
chomping in a savoy last night? It's by going and
getting some right now. Don't worry, Sue. The boss is
diverting on the way to work today to do her
day's job running a radio station, to get savoys for
the show. So Patsy, we can recreate and then we

(32:29):
will settle once and for all. Is it Derrito? Is
it a smith's Chris? Or is this a savoy? Do
you know what we've someone into? It's bigger than the secret,
sound secret, Chris.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
We ain't got a million dollars?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
All right? Keep it light, Christian. My smellery is the
smell that's a memory, has to be the impulse. Deodrant
takes you back to high school pe Christian Town. Patsy.
I wear youth jew every day, as did my late mum.
Everyone compliments me on it.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Oh yeah, it's a classic, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Patty mu mum wore it as well. I have her
bottles stood in my covered. I love it. That's wrong
with shell. I've just had a look online and I
don't want to, says Lorder. So it's been going for years, yes,
nineteen twenty. Very popular with Hollywood actresses. Patsy mentioned Madonna

(33:25):
Dolora's del Rio.

Speaker 2 (33:27):

Speaker 1 (33:47):
We would you say? Would you agree with this? Then?
A balsamic resins deep amber, dark peculi, powdery, warm vanilla,
all balancing each other. Youth jew is one of those
perfect perfumes you'll remember even if you only smell it once.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yes, it does have a powdery finish in the nostrils.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Someone it reminds you of your aunties. But it's been
he's been called one of the sexiest fragrances ever created.
Ideal for you, sexy aunties.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
None of those smells are particularly old.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
My wife splits a little bit about samic behind her
is I cannot resist rio?

Speaker 4 (34:25):
A cheaper?

Speaker 1 (34:27):
That's some powdery, Yeah, balance out with some olive oil.
Is that cold press? Sarah? That's not a bit too much?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
A beautiful salad, all right.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
So we're asking what's the smellary for you rain on
a hot road takes you straight back to being a kid.
I know what you mean. Al. The smell of sawdust
reminds me of ours spending my grandfather's shed making wooden
models of boats. And what is this kind of Steven
Spielberg childhood you have? It's not mine. If I wasn't
in my grandfather's shed, he would have locked me in there,

(34:57):
but not with him.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
You know what else sawdust makes me think of is
the butcher shop as a kid, because butcher shops here,
they used to have sawdust on the floor.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Ah, right, for what when they spilt the blood?

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Well I guess it was, but yeah, it was just what.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
A sexy frame?

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Really heavy live you know. Toby fireplaces makes me spell
like my grandparents' house, Burnt toast, smelly, gel pans, smelly,
what's that strawberry shortcake dolls? It takes me straight back
to primary school. The smell of freshly cut grass. Darryl

(35:34):
Lee shops, they smelled so good. This one, No, I know,
this one came through a lot. Actually yeah, but I
would say one of the top two ones I got
was the Darrell Lee shops. They smelled so very distinctive.
Smells the story now and a lot of love for
the purple printer ink from worksheets in the eighties.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Christian Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Today, second of July is exactly the midpoint of this year.
If we're on a sea saw perfectly balanced.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
One hundred and eighty third day of the year.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Wow, this is amazing, isn't it. We are in the
midpoint of this year twenty twenty five. Last week on
Wednesday we were talking about we see Wednesday as the
kind of like it saw. It's halftime. Look back at
the first half. You have you let a few in,
you're winning or losing. Tip the defence, come on the attack, Okay,

(36:34):
part of the bus. Just God, it's been a good
week so far. Can now free will for the rest
of this week. I've done the task I want to do.
I've actually ticked off more than one thing on my
to do list. So actually today I urge everyone, and
it might not be you might be on your way
to work right now, spend a little bit of time,
right I know you busy lies, but I think you'll
get something out of this. I started to do it
last night, just for ten minutes. I actually found it

(36:55):
really good. And I was talking to my wife and kids. Now,
over the next couple of days, we're all going to
do it and talk about how our year has gone
so far. Love that, and then how we feel about
the next half of the year, because you still got
time to change things and stuff like that. You know,
new intentions, you might want to see some new things anyway.
So I was thinking last night, like my year so
far twenty twenty five, I think our lives are a

(37:16):
lot like seasons. And sometimes when you think about it,
you can probably tell me what's seasoning right now. And
I don't mean the season and where we are right
now winter. I mean actually for you in your life
right now, you could be in a summer. You could
be in a spring, you could autumn. I actually could
be a winter in your life. I would say for
a lot of this year, it's been a winter. It's
been still I would say. The overall theme for me

(37:37):
and my wife has been letting go. Yeah, youngest daughter
left home in February, and then even Jack Post leaving
the show as well. That's all this departure, letting go
actually of old stories, old identities, and then a really
big one I've known. It's spoken about the show yet
because it wasn't confirmed. To the end of last week.
We sold our family home.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Oh you've saw that.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
We're sold. That is huge And it's very strange, Patsy,
because normally when you sell a house, you have someone
that you're excited about going to. Yeah, we haven't gotten you.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
You're homeless, we're homes Can.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
You guys start pulling me out and share me, you know,
at school at that pet and you'd have the guinea
pig for a bit, you know, you've my way this week?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Well, actually, Will and I am looking for a place
maybe we can swap.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Okay, this strange thing where like we don't know where
we're going. We've got a long settlement now, so we've
got a good couple of months until January, so we've
got time. We think we're going to rent for a
year and just work out what we want to do next,
maybe a new area and stuff like that. But that
family home, it's been a great home for me. In

(38:42):
the kids, they've literally grown through their time here and
they entered preteens and now one of them as eighteen.
Ruby's about to turn twenty one. She was turning thirteen
fourteen when we moved into that home, so we and
then we found out that people buying it, you know,
and then we do what are the odds? They have
got two kids and they came around last week. They
wanted to see the house. We left for half an

(39:04):
hour for the kids to pick out new bedrooms. Ah,
the same age as Ruby and Loewe's work when they
moved into the house.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
As meant to be.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
I remember them doing that. There's this house that you
just remember. They were fighting over who what room was?

Speaker 1 (39:18):
What? Isn't that a beautiful I saw it like that
missus O'Connell Burston's tears the car. It's a lot, a lot,
I will say. So. Yeah, it's been a letting go,
a kind of what DoD snakes do snakesuit. But now
do you know what I feel this tremendous newness coming in?

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Yes, I really do.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
An Alex coming into the show. Alex is joining us
in a couple of weeks time. We'll be back from
our break where we're here for another couple of days
and we've got a two week break. Alex joined the
show represents that we will find a new home. Don't
anyone worrying about us, like why say paining him? I
thought the show, the station, get him over and now
he's on the streets and wandering around. Let this hobo,

(40:01):
we all find someone need to live. But I feel
there's tremendous new a newness now and it's it's a spring. Yeah,
so second off that year, I feel like a new
harvest coming in. For the last two years I've been
struggling with I couldn't get I couldn't get something right
with a new book I really desperately want to write.
I kept thinking it was something starting it, starting, it stopping.
Just in the last five days, I've got it. Let's clicked,

(40:24):
I've got the golden thread. Now I've got it. And
also I know what my new coaching course am going
to launch in August is going to be as well.
Tired in with what the new book is going to
be about, so excited. Thanks guys for hearing that. Soria,
where are you? What's? What's? This has been a big
year for you, mate. You have stepped in in really
dramatic circumstances and been tremendous for me, Patsy and this team.

(40:47):
You've done an amazing job mate, Well done.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Thanks man. I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Yeah, I guess it feels like a I guess maybe
more of a summer for me, like an abspletely new
season stepping into you know, Jack's old cheer has been great,
but for me, I guess even the bigger thing for
me and my family has been just in April, we
went to South Korea and just for a bit of context,
and my eldestly to Kimberly she's adopted from South Korea.

(41:11):
My middle sister, Alex, she's IVF baby, and I was
very much an accident. My parents obviously didn't think they
could have kids, and that's when Kimber came along first,
you know, in nineteen eighty six, and mom and dad
had sort of given up on having kids and they
were about to go to Europe when they got a
call from the adoption agency saying, hey, we've actually got

(41:34):
a daughter for you. And the woman came over and
she showed mom the book of a photo of Kimber,
and Mom and dad always say they said, we knew
straightaway that this was our daughter and this was a
beautiful story. Yeah, they just looked into her eyes and
there and they just knew. And for us Kimber being
adopted was never a huge deal. It was just more

(41:54):
of an afterthought really, like a fine little fact. Yeah,
and now forty years on, it was Kimber's fortieth birthday
and she sort of had this desire then to go
over to South Korea and find and au guest look
start looking for her birth mum, which was a massive
thing for our family.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
And how are you mum and dad with that?

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Because obviously they are her mom and dad, but there's
obviously for people that go through that, there must be
some part of the story that they really feel like
they want to try and find out.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Definitely, it's hard to say for Mum and dad have
been incredible throughout the process.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I saw them. And also what Rio was talking about
was on the project about two weeks ago and it's
about a twelve minute piece. They doing it because actually
your other sister is a comedian. Yeah, and she did
the You're all in it And I tell you what
the project did. Bless the project no longer with us now,
but they did an amazing job with your family and
that story.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Yeah, they was.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
I mean I was in tears watching it was and
your mum and dad what humanity and joy. It just
shines through your whole family. Actually, but it must have
been hard for them as well.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
I think so.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
I think on some level it was really difficult. But
Mum has really been the driving force.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
I saw it just like then Rio, because I watched
it twice. I've had it so moving. Your mom a
constantly writing and making efforts to try and find out
more about Kimberly's parents on her behalf without Kimberly even knowing.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
So a couple of things happened.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
One when kimber went to the adoption agency and asked,
you know, I'd like to find out more. They're actually
closing down in May. They've closed down now and so
they said, we're not taking any more appointments.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
So Mum was hounding them and hounding them.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
And call him.

Speaker 5 (43:34):
And actually, Mum's the most determined woman in the world,
and she actually kind of implied to the adopted agency
that Mum was dying and.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
She's don't mess with them to go to Korea for it.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
So she, I mean, she's very well versed in the
guilt trip is Alice.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
It's a power move, use it, Mamaly, So she gives
she's using her powers for the greater good.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
She is.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
So we all went over there as a f she's dying.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
She said, I'm good, I'm really getting on. I don't
know how much time.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I've got work awesome. I mean I don't really do
true technically, she's right.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
Yeah, So we all went over with Kimber. Yeah, in April,
the whole family, even my sister's kids, my nephews, we.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
All went over there.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
We're in this old gray municipal municipal building and yeah,
this woman, this little Korean lady, comes over and she
brings this folder, this like big binded folder.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
That's the story of you, or what we know about you.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
It's still it's one of those really surreal outer body
experiences where you know she I can still see her
plunking it down on the table in front of us,
and just the whole world fades away and you're just
looking at this thing that and it's so administrative and
like unremarkable, but.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
It holds this whole other life to your sister.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
You've known your whole life, and it's just sitting there
in front of you.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
What you did? Did you leave her in the room?
Does she want some time with it alone?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
No?

Speaker 5 (45:00):
You're actually not allowed to. They have to supervise every file.
We're not allowed to take them back. They just have
to show us. We can take photos. But we all
just sat there and she took us through it. And
the most you know, we learned a lot about Kimber's
mum and that was amazing. But for me, the most
incredible part was and Mum had totally forgotten she'd done this.
She'd had every single year written handwritten letters to Kimber's

(45:25):
birth mum and included all Kimber's school report cards and
photos and every.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Year, so she updating just in case she ever wants
to make contact with her.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, because Mom said, we didn't know she did.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
What a great generous self listening to do.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
Yeah, And Mom says, you know, if she was in
Kimber's birth mom's position, she would she would know. She
can't imagine how difficult it would have been for her,
and she would have wanted to know as much as
she can. And we didn't know she'd done that, and
Mum had forgotten as well.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
And so when she pulled this out, I mean that
destroyed me.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
That was it was like a scene from a movie.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah, it was. It was it was.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
I can't even really put into words because you've just got,
you know, this sadness.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
For this poor woman, give it up.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
But also it's so grateful because if that didn't happen,
kimber wouldn't have.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Been in our lives.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
And then mum writing these beautiful letters and and sadly
the mum has never made contact with the adoption agency,
so they've just.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
There's so much trauma and sadness on the other side
of what was what happened as well.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
Absolutely, yeah, and that's and that's all bundled up, and
I'm still processing, and I think we all are as
a family.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
And how's Kimberly now? She is?

Speaker 5 (46:34):
You know, I'm so, I'm so. I'm more proud of
kimmer than anyone I know.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
He's doing a great job.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
She's actually changed careers in the past a couple of
years and she's an adoption counselor.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
And yeah, she's so much great.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
She's helping other people like her.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Yeah, she's helping other people like her, and she's helping herself.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
And because there's not what she doing. She was in
pr and then.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Talk about pivots a lot. That's a soul pivot, pivot,
and all that that she must have felt on some
level despite a very very you know, loving family, there's
still some part of her child, but that felt rejected.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
And you can never no matter, you know, we had
an idellic, you know story for childhood.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
You still you never you know, you've been abandoned.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
She's using that wo to be actually a gift to
other people. Yes, yeah, you talk about being of service.
Your sister's living. How inspirational.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah, she really is.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
She is. She's a counselor.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Yeah, she's Yes, specializes in adoption because a lot of
especially adopted adults, have a lot of stuff and they're
still working through. So yeah, she's done a lot of
work on ourselves. Now she's helping a lot of other
people work on themselves. And yeah, I couldn't I truly couldn't.
