Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's a chemist warehouse and save more money every year
on your regular medication with discount of prescriptions in every
store every day. Good morning, Patsy, Good morning everyone, Good morning, Rio,
Good morning, Good morning, Alex, Good morning. Yesterday I watched
a ten minute thing on TV about the It's in
the next dow or too, isn't it? Alex? The Winter Olympics.

(00:48):
H he's got no details. I've got plenty today. Actually, Okay,
what times that start? Australia time? I don't know. There
we go, There we go. That's our sports guy, one job.
Sometimes there's no fourty right now. There's no furty right now.
The only thing coming up is Team Australia. Do you
know how many athletes are sending out? Fifty three? Fifty

(01:11):
three is correct? Do you know what the split is
between women and men? That's what I found it yesterday.
Sixty three percent women, that's right, thirty three women, twenty guys.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
The one of the guys who's That is stunning me
because obviously Australia hot country, southern hemisphere, it's no surprise
to people be listening right now. You don't smash it
at the Winter Olympics. UK doesn't either, even though we're
in a northern hemisphere. It's like there's not a lot
of events that involve drizzle being the prevailing climates. You know,

(01:41):
there's we've got an Australian who's doing the looche. Oh,
where the hell are you learning or finding out as
a young lad in Australia that you've got a natural
skill for that? Well? Where are the luge sites of Australia?
You know what?

Speaker 4 (01:56):
In the New South Wales South Coast there's a theend
park called jamb Rouge Geberal Recreation Park and they have
it's not a looge, it's the it's but it's a
very similar thing that wings down a mountain. It's you
sit on like a you call like a little gokut
and you race down the mountain ass as you can.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
In Queenstown you can do that as well. But I
wouldn't have him go on that. I didn't think, you
know what sliding doors I should have gone for Olympic selection.
It's an interesting pipeline. The one that looks the most terrifying.
I think it's called the skeleton. There's an Australian going out.
Is that the one work? Actually it's like you're just
going to die where you're lying down on like a

(02:35):
lid and you just go like two hundred k just
like they do the bobsleigh course. But it's just you
lying down I slippery, but it looks terrifying.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
And there's the double two whether you're lying on top
of someone. Yes, in the skeleton. Yeah, I think it's
called the skeleton because there's a high chance of you'll
end up as a skeleton at the end of it.
And the other one that I didn't know about the looks.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
A lot of the sports with the Winter Olympics just
look really hard work. You know, they just look exhausted.
All the gear got put on even before they go
go with the Summer on Lympics. You know, stuff like
you just need your budge smug listen you get in
the pool, you do you just need a dr beat
too when you walk out, you know, you listen to
your playlist. You've got your goggles, your swim cap and
you've got your budget smugglers. That's the only gee. And

(03:18):
here you got the boots, the lycra outfit, the gloves,
all of that. Even before the event starts. It looks
like an absolute nightmare. And so one of them is
called ski mountaineering. Oh I never heard of that, nor
I what a deeply unpleasant psycho sport. You've got all
your ski gear, carrying skis, climb up a mountain and

(03:41):
then ski down.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
When does the race start from the climb up to
the mountain.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
No, right when you start lugging your way up the mountain.
That's it. It's a race. Part of the Yeah, skiboard mountaineering. Hell.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yesterday I was filling out a questionnaire as part of
the interview with a tiny newspaper. One of the questions was,
you're allounce of a dinner party with three celebrities dead
or alive. Who's coming. I spent at least half an
hour of my working day yesterday upsetting over this. I

(04:20):
got hung up at one point about who's cooking. I
don't want a pussle of like cooking and getting irritable
with them, like, oh my god, I've ever done the
dolphin once. Guys, I'm really sorry, and Steve Martin's going,
do you know what, I'm really hungry? Sho we get
take out? Steve? Please? I really wanted to try my
Petato dolphin. Was there's a Nagi recipe? Am I going
to get takeaway? Or you know? Then I thought I'll

(04:40):
bring a celebrity chef, and then I was like, Okay,
I'll go for Matt Pittman. He's like the master of
kind of Southern American grilling right and smoking. And I thought,
but then it's a ten hour brisket. There's a lot
of smell involved. And also I've never met the dude.
He could. He's great on YouTube telling me how to
prepare a brisket, how to cut it and how to
see it and stuff that when we hang out. I

(05:01):
don't know what he's going to be like as a
hang in the group. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Important, important.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
This is all part of my supposed working day. My
wife went one point, card, is this to do with work?

Speaker 7 (05:10):
I went kind of a fictional dinner party for a
newspaper interview.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I've never heard anyone worry about the logistics of that question.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
I've heard that question before.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
But if I'm asking you, are you not speculating? Are
we going out for dinner? Where is it? Are they coming?
In my mind? They came over.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
No, that's I've never thought.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I've banished my wife and kids. I don't. Don't.
Don't make it weird or anything, you know, trying to
get selfies or like, oh who are you? I've seen
you before? Oh my god, it's Steve Martin. I always
get you confused with the other guy, So I in
the end, I went with Joey Seinfeld of course, Springsteen. Yeh,
Steve Martin, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Okay, and he's banjo.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yes, anything about Steve Martin. I having watched the two
part documentary about Steve, You've really gifted close up magician
as well.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Oh now that's good for a dinner part.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So he can do not only very funny, but he's
going to do magic, you know. Sordenly, go, Bruce, go,
get the guitarists, do some songs now as the sun sets,
you know, and Jerry Sohnfelds going what's the deal with Dobe?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
For once, this sounds less like a dinner party and
more just you're the king of a court where the
jests are entertaining you, Yes, for your pleasure.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, that's that's the idea that the Man King's dinner party.
There's there's laughs there and I decide we'll just get
to take away guys. Well, who would you have round?
They can be general Lived in newspapers said celebrities for
this dinner party.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Definitely Shane Warn you Warning, They're great one.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
Can you make like great on the beers? Great stories?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Great?

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Hang then I mean thinking of great stories. I'm thinking
Charlie Sheen. I know he's going.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
To come off. You ain't going to work the next daye.
That's a weekend's start. You've got Warning and Charlie Sheen.

Speaker 9 (06:55):
This is a life they get to get. What are
the neighbors going to say? Warning's arrived and now Charlie
she's coming around.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well now I'm worried. My third one is gonna be
Anthony Keatis of the Chili Peppers.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Version of him when he was the version right? Not now, Wow,
there's carnage, is actually debauchery? What are you trying to
make the New Island Rio Islands?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Before he got clean and she maybe we ain't.

Speaker 9 (07:35):
Seen you for a couple of weeks months go, right,
And what would your dad say, Dr Lee?

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, no, he wouldn't be invite.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Part of the kind of rehab afterwards, clean, clean it
all up. Yes, Patsy, who's going around to yours?

Speaker 8 (07:49):
So hard and so much, but it's newer than like
seriously really hard. I would have to say. Top of
the list is definitely Oprah Winfrey, like, hello, my god,
that incredible, absolutely phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Bryan Adams in this, I would have gone that he's
a starting boy.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
You would be dune. It'd be like if I did
invite him, he'd have to be in the corner and
just sing. There'd be no conversation.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
She's just playing music. Yeah, like it's a corporate thing.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
Interviewed, I mean he was. He was a little bit dull.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I've got to say, we have the interview. It was
a little bit I couldn't work out whether it.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
Was him or asked the same questions a million times.
You could just see the blind go down over his eyes,
you know, but he was blind.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Do you know what they say the blinds, But he's
just got a blinkness half of one eye. He's picking
out with the other one.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
The Oprah because I think she could give me heaps
and heaps of advice, especially with podcasting, and she's in
the menopause space as well. I think she'd be like
a mentor. She'd be brilliant. Then i'd have just for
just for fun, I'd have Sarah Jessica Parker because I
love sex in the city.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, that's great. Now, this is already a good hang.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
I reckon she'd be really well. I think she is
really down to earth like, even though her stardom and
everything else. I just think she's a really nice girl.
And the other the other one maybe Jackie Nassas. Oh wow,
maybe Jackie Nassas. What was it like to be the
first lady? And what?

Speaker 10 (09:07):
Really?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
This is a good lineup. You've got a lot going on.
There's so much to talk about, Alex, Who's it for you?

Speaker 5 (09:13):
For some reason, Boris Yeltsen jumped.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Out at me. Seriously, he drank you under the table.
I know it'd be fun. Do you ever hear the
story about him flying to America? And I think it
was the UK and he got so drunk on the
flight over he was asleep and they were too scared
to wake him up, so he was like at the
on his plane asleep, and they were all these dignitaries

(09:36):
on the on the wrong way, and they were going
waking him up when he's out a few you don't
want to wait that Borson seemed like a lot of
fun and a lot of historical moments that I'd love
to talk to him about.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
I'm a big history buff. Freddie Mercury. I think he
would be amazing to sit down and also sing with
the piano. Would be nice later on in the night.
Ricky Gervais ricky'ld be a great guest, very very funny guy.
And I was thinking Michael Jordan too, but I don't
know if he'd be that ex I think he'd be
very very serious, quite serious, wouldn't he.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't think he's big on lalls. I think he
get irritated with Brooky and we'd probably Sicky would wind
him up. Definitely. He dunk Ricky in.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Some hoots and there'd be lots of gambling. There'd be
poker coming out ladder on in the night. And also
John Lennon. I just love John Lennon. I've been a
big fan of him for years, so he'd be really
interesting to talk to.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Her all right, tell us who would be a few
three people dead are alive? Who's coming round to yours?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

a talk show ho, you're a talkers? Well? Katie Lang
singing songs?

Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean it would, but I only had sorry.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I thought I knew you.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Similar management star to Ellen DeGeneres as exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Never looked at her in the eye. She glassy because
she's a bogan.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Would be one of the Matilda's on there, wouldn't they? Yes,
thank you, Patsy.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
They've got no names.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
I don't know who's your favorite? Sam No, Steph Catley

Speaker 11 (11:41):
Be catching up?

Speaker 1 (11:42):
So who's coming? Then? It's Sondra Buck really coming?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (11:44):
Sandra Bullock is my for her?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Though, isn't it? Because you've had a crush on her
since you were a kid. She's gonna sat there go

I said, why did you do that? Everyone knows and
to the word, it's just strange. You just ready weird

(23:59):
for the Wiggles as well, but they were like or
something on the radio. All right, welcome to the right
side of the doll, where you're smarter than us.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Always look on the bright side of the dial. The
Christian o'connals show will make you smile. If your days
just begun with clouds and then the sun, your socks

(24:30):
don't match, no battery on your phone. If the news
is pretty grim, dread and going to the gym, just remember,
silly bugger, you're not alone and always look.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Right side of the that's us on the Christian o'connells show.
And if you join us, you are part of us.
You're a right side and right now you can join
the right size Platinum Cloud. You get your own founding
member number. Pick your own number. You altill get access
to a private Facebook group. We can talk to each
other and us we're talking about first alerts, things are
going to doing on the show, and then you're going

(25:03):
a message from me every Friday. All right, people are
picking the I love this this people picking their own
numbers and why ten minutes ago we just inducted somebody
who's number two trillion and something Christian as an og.
I'd love you part of the bright Side Platinum Club. You, Jack,

(25:24):
Patsy and the team got me through working from home.
And you know what I'm going to say. I'd like
to give something back in the community. Pop me down
phone number seventeen. Unless some pesky readers already get you
into it. Those pesky readers, why I order Kim, you
can have a seventeen have a seventeen gone? By the way,

(25:47):
I presume there's like some Excel spreadsheet.

Speaker 8 (25:49):
Hang on keeping track. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we game track.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yep. Don't you sound fabergasted right now? Seventeen fabagas? Did
you know the word I was struggling for flummoxed. That's
a great name. It's gone.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Seventeen is gone, seventeen is gone?

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yes, all right? What about this seventeen point five?

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I actually love it.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
It's free.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Okay, unless they've got a thing about sort of even
numbers or stuff like that. Kim, Hopefully that works you. Christian,
I started listening to the show when you had a
man called Peter Logan on. Peter Logan was an incredible
man and actually has the founding member one Christian. Peter
helped me with my own grief and drastically changed my

(26:31):
perspective on life. I always put pressure on people over
fifty to do the Pooh test and fill the Peter
Logan effect. If you don't know the story of Peter Logan.
In my first six months the show here in twenty eighteen,
get an email one night from man called Peter Logan
who said that he didn't do the poo test that
everyone gets sent luckily in this country when you turn fifty,
which is an amazing thing to get, and he didn't
do it like a lot of people, especially man, he

(26:52):
got squeamish about it. Namy. Sadly, he got ill and
he was given a terminal bell cancer stage four diagnosis
and emailed me to say, could you read this out
my idiocy as a warning. I just want to know
that I could help people. Irang Peter and invited to
come on the show and he told his story. He
was in credit and he spoke so clearly and powerfully
about not doing that and the consequences for him and

(27:14):
his family, and his beautiful daughters as well. Came in
with him and his wife. The Council Council called me
about two weeks later and there'd been a six hundred
percent increase in return kits. They might want to how
do they know that, because Pete said at the end
of the show, if you do detest that I didn't do,
but Pete sent me on the back that is talk
about a legacy for someone. So that's why if you

(27:34):
don't know Pete Nogan, that's why he's forever number one,
and I love the fact that someone's still already filling
the benefit from Peter. And that's about five or six, yeah,
seven years ago, now, Christian, can I have number twenty eighteen?
I also emigrated to Australia the same year as you. Yes,
Matthew Fink, how's it worked out for you? Let's swap notes.

(27:57):

to order it. My daughter's at nineteen and twenty one.
They're round Tuesday night, and the alternative that was going

homemade lasaanya from Christmas or so oh, let me rehear that.
And I just went take away on a Tuesday, and
he's like my wife was like daggers. Then I saw

(31:18):
that the sunny go back, and I know I've dodged
it for one day. It's coming back around at the
weekend and I'll be out of takeaways on a Tuesday.
You've got to give up one of the big hitches

(31:40):
the weekend is here if you just called it earlier

I have recently discovered in the last couple of days apples,
Oh my god, my afternoon snack now is simply a

(32:01):
delicious pink lady. Yes, oh my god. That instant you
know you have that slumpy middle of the after sort
of sluggish feeling, a crisp heart. That's me taking three
chunks and then I love them. Oh my god, it's
like a little energy rush her nature's lollies. Al right

(32:23):
there doctor, an apple a day gives it just away.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
Where do you sit on the granny smeth?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
No, that's who. Yes, that's tough bosses too, aren't they.

Speaker 8 (32:38):
Really right?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah? You always as you get a bit old, you
might break it too. It's a young guy's game, perhatsy.

And they're dropping episodes one a week. It's like little
tic TACs every week.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
But isn't it great?

Speaker 8 (33:05):
It's great because it's much.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
A good actor and brilliant. But he's better looking at
as a sort of mature guide than Clooney.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
He's a bit of a candy.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, but I'm not a gay guy. But if he
came round and said leave your wife for me, I go, Sorry, sir,
I'm going. I didn't know I was gay until I
actually saw him up closet. Take me, take me mix Stey,
Let's steam up the windows my dad suv right now. Yeah,
and we're keeping a shadow story in it. So I
was watching as one of the kids. They've stopped watching

(33:35):

I said, it's a TV show. Yeah, great's anatomy. He's
not really an assassin.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 8 (33:43):
But there's something boiling, isn't there? There's something happening.

I love that you sound like the voiceover lady. There's
something boiling. There's something happening tonights. Memory of a.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
Killer because it's not all being dumped at once is
a good thing, so we can't binge it right, So
it drops every week.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
And so I ready emailed stampr department asking demanding that
they give me the entire thing and the scripts for

Speaker 2 (34:33):
The Christian o'connall show podcast.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Christian Today. Here you're speaking with Christian Horner. Yes we
are in five minutes time. I'm a big F one fan.
Can you ask him for the big scoop? Blair Theodore?
Hell of the name, sir Blair Theodore.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
Sounds like an F one driver from like the nineteen
hundreds and leath Head or coming in the notice trade black.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
And white in some old sort of jealopie. I'll ask
him for the big scoop. Don't you worry, sir Santo Christian,
my small thing, big joy. My wife sends me to
the shops from milk and bread without the kids. It's
fifteen minutes of peace and cie. Every dad gets that.
How many years ago when the girls were younger and

(35:16):
I go and pick up the takeaway, I would just
lie actually and go They've just called me and it's
ready now. Now I go there and just have a
quiet bit by myself and then come back and go, hey, bloody,
lie to me. And I was waiting around that I
gave to got a piece of mind. Mind, you waste
my time?

Speaker 7 (35:34):
This is time I could be doing the bath stuff
right now with my kids, say here having a quite
cold lagger, mumbling to myself, every dad.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Is nutting right now. Christmas more thing, big joy When
driving to work through my local streets and it seems
I've hit the one time slot where no one now
seems to be on the road. It gives me a
twilight zone piece. Four vibes. Yeah, Natalie Porter, that's a
great message. It's interesting these days post COVID now there's
no Monday to Friday exactly the same on the roads

(36:06):
because of the whole working from home. Sometimes it's really
busy on a Thursday. Sometimes it's busy on a Friday.
Sometimes it's not busy on a Friday because everyone's working
from a home. If you guys had the chance, would
you work from home? Or do you do the show
from home?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Like all week?

Speaker 6 (36:24):
No, No, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
I like being part of the team.

Speaker 8 (36:27):
Yes, and you feed off each other's energy, although I
might like an.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
You've been too much feeding off. I'd like it. Listen, Vampire,
if you just could feed a bit back.

Speaker 8 (36:35):
Maybe a Monday or Friday wouldn't be bad, do you
guys awake?

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Listen Alex When you started on the show, Alex, what's
it for you? What small thing? Big joy? By the way,
how is Bonnie your wife getting on? She had she
had acl surgery, her miniscaus. How's she getting on meniscus tear?

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Yeah, surgically repaired last Thursday. She's going okay, yeah, hobbling
around a bit, she's putting weight on it. It's getting it.
It's a bit painful the last few days actually, but
she's doing okay.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
It's tough because she's obviously a mum to young kids.
As much as you can do so much, she will
still be needed to do stuff.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
It's meant to be a three month recovery, but with
small kids it's like a one month because they expect
her back.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
That is brutal. Did you get her? My wife keeps
asking me to ask you, did you get the ice
think because when my wife gets that made a big recovery. Yeah,
it's this so good.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
So yeah, these ice packs that you put in this
special kind of strap yep, may strap and it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
So thank you so much Sirea for that suggestion. Yeah,
all right, Keith, this coming coming up next, don't you worry.
Blair Theodo or another f one fans, We are speaking
live too, mister f one, Christian Horner.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
We have a great guest now this month. Obviously it's
the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and joining us now
someone who's gonna be coming to Australia on a speaking tour.
He is a Formula one legend, Christian Horner. He transformed
Team Red Bull into one of the most successful teams
on the planet and was in charge of Ossie legends
like Daniel Ricardo and Weber. Plus he also happens to

(38:11):
be married to a spice girl, not just any spice girl,
Ginger Spices. Jerry Halliwell, Christian Horner is joining the show
live now. Christian, thank you very much for joining us now.
One of the biggest documentaries in the world. You're a
big part of it. Drive to Survive about everyone? Is
that a pain in the backside? Camera crews following you
and Jerry Halliwell everywhere.

Speaker 11 (38:33):
To be honest, you sort of there's so many cameras
around it for more and if forget who which one
is which, and these guys become embedded with the teams
or for a weekend and they just record hours and
hours and hours of content and they're looking for all
the juicy bits and the dramatic bits.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
And do you ever watch it back with Jerry when
you're like, my god, they really cast you, because sometimes
your cast is this kind of British kind of almost
like a James Bond baddie in it.

Speaker 11 (39:00):
Yeah, you know that sometimes you're the hero, sometimes you're
the villain.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
You know.

Speaker 11 (39:04):
Jerry often tells me why, Look, it's like the Kardashians
on wheels. So you know, they're making a TV show
and as I say, they love any drama then they can.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Capture and what do you like on race day? Because
having interviewed lots of athletes over the years, a lot
of them are very very superstitious. You have certain things,
you always eat, the same thing, where the same thing,
What is it for you?

Speaker 11 (39:28):
I suppose there weren't as much rituals as they were
superstitions that you know. I'd always you know, shake the
driver's hands before the start of the race from the
right hand side of the car. You know, I had
you know, lucky clothing, I had you know, lucky socks,
I had you know, a lucky toilet at each grown Prix,

(39:48):
I'd nominate one loop that would be the loo for
the weekend, you know, which is kind of embarrassing if
all the others are free and you're standing in Brazil
waiting for this one particular toilet. So, yeah, you get
these I think rituals that where I stood in the
garage to watch the start of the race, you know,
all those types of things. They were just little rituals

(40:10):
that help you get in the frame of mind and
get in the zone.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
For the race. That's incredible. I'm now worried about you
know what happened if suddenly the lucky socks had been washed,
you know, they weren't there. That's the stuff that can
ruin your your preparation, can't it. You know what?

Speaker 11 (40:24):
That was absolutely a no go. So, you know, the
lucky underwear had to be packed and I got qualifying
underwear and race day underwear, and as they got worn out,
they sometimes you know, get patched up.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, because you can't buy just brand new ones, they
won't have the same power. Absolutely with all the F
one merchandise, you should bring out your own range of underwear.
You know, qualifiers race day you could make even more
money that way there you go.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
You're giving me ideas.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Hey, when you come back to the sport, have your
own range of underwear. Tell me have you done much?
I know you've obviously been a keynote speaker before, but
actually going around the world people paying to come and
see you excited about Are you nervous by it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Everything.

Speaker 11 (41:12):
To be honest with you, I mean, I think it's
a great moment for me to reflect on, you know,
my time informal one that's covered such a vast period
of time when I came into the sport, with some
of the trials and tribulations, the pressures, you know, and
really lifting the lid on some of you know, those
key moments during the last twenty one years and coming
to Australia, I've only ever had a very short period

(41:35):
of time there literally in and out for the Grand Prix.
So to have a little more time without the pressure
of a Grand Prix weekend, they've been the most amazing fans.
Australian fans are truly truly different. They're so knowledgeable, they're
so passionate, and of course being fortunate to have had
a couple of Australian drivers over the years in Mark

(41:56):
Weber and Daniel Ricardo. You know, it's been great to
support that we had, you know, received over those years.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
And then tell us about in this country obviously there's
so much love for Daniel Ricardo and you had a
very you had a very unique relationship with him. Tell
us about that.

Speaker 11 (42:12):
Daniel's just a great guy. He you know, he lights
up a room when he walks in it. He's a
big personality, He's got a big heart, very sensitive guy.
I just clicked with him, and you know, he was
a wonderful driver and unfortunately the car at the time
where he was at his peak, we didn't have the
most competitive car on the grid and I think if

(42:35):
we had, he could have been a world champion. But
a great guy, and yeah, I think the sport missus Daniel.
You know, he was such a you know that smile.
He's a great singer as well. You know, I'd always
have a party after the Silkstone Race and his rendition
of wagon wheel was was legendary. So in fact I

(42:57):
made him sing it that a Christmas party wants, which
he never forgave me for. But yeah, just a big personality,
a lot of charisma.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
To tell this, watching the Netflix documentary. I said, why, God,
what a job Christian's got. You know, you've got all
that power, all that control, all those decisions. And then
Jerry comes on screen and my wife goes yeah. And
then when he gets home, she's the boss. And any
married guy that says otherwise, I think is a lie.
Is at home everything that you have, all that power,

(43:28):
control that's out in the other world. At home, you're
you're just Christian.

Speaker 11 (43:33):
No, that's exactly it. You know, at home, I'm just Christian.
She's just Jerry, and you know her husband and wife
and of course you know she's always right. We have
a great relationship. She's been my biggest supporter. But she'll
also call you out if she thinks, you know, something's
not right. And you know, she's the first to tell me, look,

(43:54):
a pad on the back is six inches from.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
A kick up the ass.

Speaker 11 (43:58):
So yeah, she's been phenomenal and at home, yeah, you know,
she's definitely the boss.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
And tell me this, she must talk about work at home.
Over the year. She must have gone that's no, no,
you can't be doing that. You want to hire them
or watch out for that person.

Speaker 11 (44:13):
Look, she's fantastic in respect because the person that you
share the most with is your partner. What you take home,
you know, you share. And I remember during some of
the COVID period, I was interviewing people for the new
engine project that's running in the back of the Red
Bull car you know, debuted last week, and there was

(44:35):
one guy that I really wanted to get. Anyway, she
brought in a cup of coffee and I could see
that he was kind of, you know, surprised that he
was Ginger spice bringing in coffee for us. Anyway, he said, oh,
I'm a musician. She said, oh, what are you doing?
He said, I play the guitar. So she turned up
five minutes later with a guitar and said, play to me.
So this guy has come for a job. Interview ended

(44:57):
up singing Iranian love songs. You know, Jerry is listening
to him sing, and sure enough he signed from Mercedes
the next day.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Now, obviously you going to come back someone like you.
There's no way you just walk away from the sport.
I get the Finn in this unfinished business and when
you come on you're speaking tour. I think the biggest
question you're going to get asked everywhere is that are
you coming back. What can you say at the moment, Christian, Well, look,
I can't.

Speaker 11 (45:23):
Do anything before you know, later in the spring. If
I were to come back, it would have to be
for something that was with a like minded group of people.
I wouldn't come back just to take part. I'd want
to win. I wouldn't want to do it just as
an employee anymore. So I'm not in any rush. I'm
going to take this time to reflect on my career

(45:46):
and spend time with my family and think about what
comes next.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Brilliant. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you when you
come to Melbourne on the speaking tour. I think you'll
enjoy it a lot. I think you know a fantastic
time in the country as well. And Christian, well done
and all your very well deserves success as well. I
think sometimes you don't get quite the credit you deserve,
but it's an extraordinary achievement that would be around for
a very long time.

Speaker 11 (46:08):
Well done, that's very kind and yeah, I'm looking forward
to coming down to Melbourne, Sydney in Perth. It's it's
a great country, great people and yeah, I'm looking forward
to it.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
All right, thanks for talking to us, Christian. We'll see
you soon. Thank you, Thank you very much.

I saw a dad with his son getting licorice licorice bullets.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
To be specific.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
You never see anyone other than dads eat licorice. I've
never in my life have you ever seen an eight
year old kie get No, you're.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Right, No, I'll tell you what it ass. It's it's dad. DNA.
Someone hands you at the hospital your baby and suddenly
there's a craving for aniseed it is it's I believe
that there are DNA strands, the full helics that suddenly
start mutating and activating when you become a dad. I
suddenly became very, very very obsessed with the thermostat in

(51:44):
the house. Nothing before kids. I'm still now bursting into rooms.
The kids have been in the middle of someone going
have you touched the thermostat? And they're like no, No,
they're frightened. What is thermostat? Dad's it? You haven't been
feeling with it? Have you? Yeah? Have you touched it?
I don't even need to see I can feel it.
I just feel it in my bones. It can be

(52:05):
it can be three rooms away. I feel a disturbance
in the fall. Someone has touched my thumostat. The other
one has been tetris that DNA. What's been it's the
refusal ar dads have to just a sempt you've been
and putting you back in that smushing it down. And
I find myself saying, as a mantra, there's always more room,
There's always more wedging it down, There's always more.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
M I reckon dads as well. History podcasts you were
talking about on Monday.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Sadly you know best is Dan Carlin, and you've got
a little bit too much to say when you meet
mates about the history of the Mongols under the Rest
issue The Rest is History one of the greatest podcasts
in the world. I think another dad one is Long
Toilet Sessions. Oh god, yeah, that's my time. Yeah, DoD
disturbed me and my wife algo, I know, I know
you're finished in there. She knows there's no way, there's

(52:58):
no way. How much food have you eaten? Eighteen banquets?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
What were you doing in there? Forty five? Or I
should go seventeen minutes? You've been in there, Chris? Are
you timing me? Yeah? Used to be a lock in
our toilet and then one day came home it had
been mysteriously broken. Why would someone kick in a lock?
She didn't want me locking myself in.

Speaker 6 (53:16):
There for daddy?

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Is it to get like? Is it just to get
some peace?

Speaker 3 (53:21):

Dad DNA, There is DNA that gets activated when a
man becomes a dad. Christian Dads love dramatically exaggerating any

(54:20):
story that begins with back. I think Patsy has that gene.
That journey, that journey to school. It's like, what's that
Cormack McCarthy book, The Road, Whether it is it's the

it's ass memory phone. The other thing as well, is
I say about this is there? Do you remember classic jokes?
You know, the ones that like a man walks into
a bar. They don't get shared anymore. They used to
be like the big stock in trade was just what
I would call old school jokes. You don't get them

(55:45):
anymore now. When did it all just die out? You're
lucky because if we had more time, I'd tell you
my one about the duck going into the bar. The
duck there was a plaster maybe to show though this
is no, it's not. It's one of those classic stories.
Bring them back, Yeah, where did they go? I'd love
to have a feature actually where we did a search

(56:06):
for those classic Dad jokes and actually brought them back.
There were just so many about people. They all featured
around people walking into bath man walks in with a
horse or like a penguin, and that's it.

Speaker 15 (56:19):
