Speaker 3 (01:10):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning. Friday morning. Before we even get into double
thumbs up, I am so annoyed. I've had a 15-minute
fight this morning at 5 a.m. been an airbnb all
week in sydney with that choose your words choose your
words bastard key safe that's better than what i could
have said those key safes are a law untold themselves
(01:36):
you know they are teenagers they've got a certain way
that you need to speak to them and work with
them and actually sometimes there's a certain code you didn't
know you have to use even they were So getting
the keys out, the holiday can't begin when you're checking
in anywhere until you know you've got the keys. It's
so tense, isn't it? Yeah. The whole flight, you know,
I've got to deal with it. What's the key safe number?
(01:57):
And then even though you know the number, someone with
you is reading out the number, the number doesn't work
with the key safe. Sometimes you have to ring the
super host, and then it's the same number they gave you,
and then suddenly it works. And there's that. That thing
you have to pull down. The little lever, yes. It's tiny.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
How can anyone's fingers actually hold that thing down for
long enough?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And then getting the keys back in for some reason
is harder. You know they came out. You did it
just a short few days ago. Getting them in this
morning also made it hard for me. It was 5 a.m.
The bastard key safe is out the front of the
building where there's the dimmest lit light. I think it
was like minus a lumen. This thing's a black hole.
It was actually taking light from the universe and sucking
(02:37):
it in. And so then I'm thinking, it's just me,
and I'm like, oh, I used to light the torch
on my phone. No, I need both hands. No, yeah, exactly.
You have to put it into that thing where it's
in your mouth. Yes, that's it, yeah. Now it looks
like I'm breaking in. It just looks like I'm breaking in.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
You're trying to break out.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm trying to break out. And then those tumblers have
edges that hurt. Yes. They really hurt. They're like little
bread knives.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Four bread knives. And so they're trying to get the
key because they wouldn't shut with the keys in.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You can never put them. They're like a Chinese finger trap.
It's like you can get it out, but you can't
get it back in.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
There's a certain way they want to be arranged. And
it's on the side. And there were two sets of keys.
You're at the top. You don't want no. And you're
trying to ram the thing. You're trying to ram it shut.
15 minutes of sweating by the end of it. And
then I felt like I'd won a game show when
it was in. I felt like there was no one
to validate this moment. Anyway, guys, happy Friday. Well done.
(03:31):
Thank you so much, guys. It's great to be here.
All right, the start of every Friday show, we call
it Double Thumbs Up. We go around the team. We
talk about the things that we're enjoying this week. Please
tell me someone else has seen Ray Gunn, the documentary
on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yes, I watched it last night. Breaking Badly. What a
great title, firstly.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And also, they mustn't have told her the title of
the documentary because if someone said to her, oh, yeah,
we're going to do a documentary on it, we're going
to call it Breaking Badly.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think the pitch was Netflix, documentary, You and your
enabler husband. One word, enabler. He should have said something
to her. In any relationship, one of you can be deluded.
That's me and ours. You need someone else who's just
going to give you some painful, hard truths. Hey, you
know what? You can't break dance. Don't go on the
(04:16):
world's biggest stage and then be surprised when they go,
you're terrible.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It was completely his fault because she just was a
bad break dancer.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He poorly trained her.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He poorly trained her, but she wasn't doing all these crazy, terrible,
embarrassing moves.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And then he goes, I've had an idea. I've had
an idea for the finals. Just freestyle it. I act
like a toddler having a tantrum and you watch those
girls come our way.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And then he said he watched the performance and he goes,
It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Were you seeing that the rest of us untrained breakers?
But she's deeply charismatic. She actually comes across quite well. Yes. Yes.
And then there was other, she didn't learn a lesson.
She entered other competitions. And she kept going. You can't
say she's not persistent. Australians love a battler. They do.
(05:06):
But it was a lot, it was sad at times
as to reaction personally. You know, when someone comes, we
don't really think about You just think, oh, well, she
did that. And you all pile on. You know, she
became a worldwide joke. You never really slow down to
think about the human level, what that would have been
like for her. And obviously seeing the documentary and what
she went through and then the other side of it.
But I thought it was a lot sweeter and a
(05:28):
hell of a lot funnier. And I think it was funnier,
not for the reasons that even the filmmakers thought it
was a husband.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah, that husband needs to be locked up.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He should have his own show. I think every couple
should watch that. And just so we understand, someone in
this relationship needs to tell the truth.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
If I'm about to become a national embarrassment, you must
stop me.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
We're doing double thumbs up our Friday recommendations. What are
you enjoying at the moment? 0475031043. We're talking about Ray Gunn,
Breaking Badly, brand new Netflix documentary, dropped yesterday, as the
kids say. It dropped. It's dropped. It's dropping. It's going
to drop, and then it's dropped. It's dropped, guys. The
(06:16):
show's dropping. This show is dropping right now. It's out now.
I'm dropping it now, okay? The other thing I didn't
realize is I know of the Nutbush. No one warns
you about the Nutbush that some night you're going to
be in a room and suddenly all Australians will just
move as one. And no one warns you this is
a thing. It's actually quite scary. You move to the
side like, what are they doing? I didn't know the
(06:38):
sprinkler was also one of your moves. Me neither. You know,
the Charleston, the Foxtrot countries all have their own unique dances.
But I didn't know yours were the sprinkler. How we
all laughed at Reagan. I didn't realize, wait, there's 22
million of them that love doing the sprinkler. I didn't really,
because it's such a... And they say Australia has no culture. Exactly.
What about the sprinkler? What about the sprinkler?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I had no idea myself that it was an Australian
dance move. I knew it was a famous and, you know,
very well-respected maneuver.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They surely eat at school? They didn't teach it at school.
It's more just taught... It's assumed.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's like, you know how birds, when they're born, they
know where to fly to, to migrate.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
When you're an Australian... You know the sprinkler. You come
out doing the sprinkler. The sprinkler.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What about the rabbit and the roo? The kangaroo's still,
to me, it's like the Nike swoosh. That's her brand.
It's like the Nike swoosh. Is that part of it
as well, just the sprinkler?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Just the sprinkler. No, that's a Ray Gunn original. I
think she's probably trademarked it as well.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Actually, she has. Patsy, what have you enjoyed this week, mate?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Oh, we've been riding to Dalliance, which is a great
new Aussie drama.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Oh, it's got a huge cast.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He's having a massive resurgence. Hugo Weaving is in everything.
He is the heel turn. He's a horrific, brilliant baddie
in Slow Horses. Oh, my God, he's so good. He's incredible.
And then I just started watching the show on SBS,
a very, Very mild show called The Airport Chaplain.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Oh, yes, I saw the ads for that during the
World Cup.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hugo's the star of it. I really need it this week.
It's been a nice kind of, it's a real slow burn. Anyway, Patsy,
what's Daliance like? People are raving about it.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Well, it's huge because it's got Hugo, it's got David Wenham,
Georgie Parker, Catherine McClemmons, Heather Mitchell, who I loved in
A Place to Call Home, beautifully filmed in Sydney. It's
a little six-episode series. I would describe it, Secret Life
of Us was a huge show here. So it's kind
of like that for retirees.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But you're working.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Endearingly though, endearingly so. Like it follows the lives of
these group of 60-year-old or, you know, mates in their 60s.
Life isn't exactly what it seems.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, let's say maybe call James and Amanda this afternoon
and have a chat with them about it. Retirees?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Retirees, yes. So it's a bit like Secret Life of Us,
but for people who are in that decade of their life.
And it's absolutely brilliant. And it's not what it seems.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You don't see that. You know these days how they
organise on all the streaming services, crime thrillers, documentary, sports documentaries, retirees.
Getting ready to die, this is a show for you.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But it's about that season of your life and that
you're not dead yet, that there's still a little.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Living to do. Winter's coming for you, mate. Hey, listen, winters.
It's six episodes because you ain't going to do 12 seasons.
You haven't got that much time left. It's not Game
of Thrones. What it is, is it's two episodes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Microdrama. I love a six-episode series. I love it because
then I can move on to the next thing.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, because I want to know, if I'm going to
invest in this relationship, meet me halfway. Don't be leaving
so soon. You know, by the time you're really getting
to know someone, you're saying goodbye. It's so hard. So hard.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
It's got a beautiful Hugo Weaving in there with the,
you know, the hair and the beard.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Look, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's all you need in a man, isn't it? You've
got a hair and a beard. I'm getting in your truck.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
No, it was brilliant. The other thing that I've noticed,
this is like a really, it's just a little series
on YouTube. It's called Family Dinner. It's a short little,
it's got like comedy shorts. So it sort of episode,
if you like, goes for, I don't know, four or
five minutes. It's basically just a family set in the eighties,
sitting around dinner and just the shenanigans that go on,
(10:18):
just the conversation. And you think, oh, this family is
so dysfunctional. And then you think, yeah, but that's actually
like my family. Like it's actually really relatable. It's If
you like the Goldbergs, you will love this.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh, my God, I love the Goldbergs.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
It's hilarious. It's called Family Dinner. You'll see it on YouTube.
It's really, really funny.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
All right, thanks, Pats. We'll be back after this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Later on this morning, we must talk about when you
put your foot in it. We all know what I'm
talking about. It happened yesterday evening after a mother apologized
to me about something, and I said something as a joke,
and she didn't know like it. As soon as I
woke up this morning, you know when that shudder comes
(11:01):
over you, just that memory of a horrible experience. All that, that, that.
It's like a kind of hangover. Yeah. An existential hangover.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Some of those things never leave.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But I've already got the scar tissue of too many,
too many. Even on my best days, something nice can happen.
And then, So that voice comes up. Hey, do you
remember that time in February 2007? Like, yeah, you're right.
He took a turn somewhere there. All right, double thumbs
up for me this week. The current, the new series
of Slow Horses is the best one. I was lucky
(11:34):
enough to see a preview of it last month. It
is outstanding. Enjoy what we've got. We're down to the
last two seasons of Slow Horses. Been one of the
best TV shows over the last couple of years, actually. Lanterns,
I originally thought, Not sure about this. Has now become
my current favorite TV show.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Is that the Green Lantern?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yes, my partner's watching that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
He loves it. It's got so much better. The episode three,
which came out this week, fellow Lantern fans, was incredible.
Watched it twice. It's just got so much better. What's
his power? It's the ring, but it's so much about
why he didn't really earn the right to have the ring.
I know this is going to sound real. What's happening, Christian? Sorry,
(12:12):
has he turned into a 12-year-old boy? Yeah, I've never
heard you talk about this. Has he brought his comic
books in for today's show? Here you go, the volume five.
I'm not one of those. No, you don't watch any Marvel. No, no,
I really don't. This is DC. Oh! Okay. Okay? Let's
just step back from the mic a bit, okay? Today's
show is dropping. It's dropped, okay? So, yeah, Lanterns is fantastic.
(12:35):
Stud also watching the brand-new season of The Gentleman. the
way it works with Double Thumbs Up, if we don't
like a show we don't talk about, that's all we've
got to say with a gentleman. A lot of other people, perhaps,
are watching dalliance and saying how great it is.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
It's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They're just messaging from their care homes, actually. But it's
good to see you found your fans.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
The Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Go on.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Father's Day this weekend. Why is it every time I
say that, I reckon 99.9% listening are like, God, what?
This weekend? Yes. Sunday. And you, if you started prodding
around with lanterns, you don't want that fight, buddy. You
can't win it. This message here, I'm just going to
(13:24):
read it verbatim. There's no formal greeting. No good morning
Christian on the team. Here's power. You can tell they're like,
Breathe before you send this, Malcolm. His power allows him
to make constructs out of his own willpower. So second episode,
he needs a bottle opener. He used the ring to
do that. That's a great use of power. It's a
(13:47):
good dad skill. I was like, God damn it, if
I was super, that's what I'd use it for. That
flying around looks bloody knackering. You've got to get yourself
back there, recharge the ring. Where's the lantern to recharge
the ring? The only downside is... To Green Lantern, it's
his weakness is the color yellow, and that's the color
of fear. I didn't even know that. I've seen three
(14:07):
episodes of it. They've not mentioned the color of fear
is yellow.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
It's a pretty big Achilles heel because yellow is the sun.
It's going to give you away. It's going to give
you away. Certain teams' jumpers, yellow, is going to trigger you. Christian,
double thumbs up for me. I'm reading a book called
The Maidens. It's set in London. It's set in London
with flashbacks to ancient Greece. Christian, you must watch I
(14:33):
Will Find You. We've been banging on about this the
last couple of weeks. That is outstanding. Brilliant, brilliant Harbin
Coburn show with Sam Weatherton, the star of that. Christian,
are you watching the show The Death of the Pastor's Wife?
It will blow your mind about bizarre. Some people might say, no, I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Out of that. My wife has talked through that, though.
It's too much. Too much for me. All right. Knock
off Friday. Rio, what is your highlight for you this weekend?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Sunday on Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well done.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Firstly, we've got Dad a collective present from the family,
a classic dad shoe, a pair of brown sketches. Oh, wow.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Wow. Slide into them. Are they the laceless ones? I
believe they are, yes, the loafers. The future of shoes
for middle-aged and upper-middle-aged people. The official loafer of the dad. Oh,
you should tell them about the TV show. An old
lady was telling me about dalliance. Yes, well, he's almost 80, so.
Take that back. No, no, no.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Go back, go back, go back.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
He might be a bit young for it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Don't want it back, don't want it back, don't want
it back. You take it.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Some hot young, well, 50-year-old mother.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Retiree, retiree, your words. Target audience, retirees. Well. So what
have you got, Dad? No, that's from everyone. Oh, wow.
That's so tight.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Mum actually sent me a message.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
What's that, about $ 12 each?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Two of his kids are on TV.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Mum sent an urgent text saying to the kids, don't
worry about getting dad anything. I've got him a pair
of brown sketches. But I will be making him some
XO pippies on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
He'll be as happy as anything with that. And are
you all coming back? You and your sisters? Yes, we're
all coming over to mum and dad's.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Mum and I wake up at 6am to get to
the seafood shop at 7 when it opens.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We'll get the pippies and the oysters. Patsy, what are
you up to this weekend, mate?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Oh, today I'm so excited because my daughter, my 15-year-old,
gets back from camp today.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And you hadn't zero contact.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I can't even, I might start crying. I've missed her.
Both Chris and I have missed her so much.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I bet the house would have been so empty.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Oh, it's been awful. It's been so quiet, even the
dog sulking. And so she gets home today, but I
have to contain, I've been told to contain my excitement
at pick-up. I said I'd go and pick her up
at school because she's got all her gear and her.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Kit and stuff. Yeah, but secretly they don't want you
to be contained.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
No, no, no, no, no. Break down. You know, like
a wailing Italian nun at a funeral. Throw yourself to
the ground.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Never leave me munchy-wunchykins again.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Mummy want me back. Stop rolling around on the ground.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Don't get out of the car. Just stay in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Get some rosary beads. Stop praying. Act crazier than even normal.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I just want to give her a big cuddle and
a big kiss.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I've missed her so much.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
No, she'll kill me. She'll disown me.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
She won't. She'll pretend she will, but deep down inside,
she'll feel missed and she'll feel loved. Don't ever hold
that back.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
I keep waking up through the night and I wonder
if it's like mother's instinct and I think, is she
actually awake? Is she cold? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Is she having fun?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I bet that's... So it gets worse as they get older.
I thought it'd be, oh, I've missed her incredibly.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
The levels of trickiness just get higher and higher and higher.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
I've missed her so much.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So what have you got? Were you cooking her favourite
dinner tonight? It's a takeaway. Sit down, watch the brand
new ep of Dalliance. What is it?
Speaker 7 (17:47):
We've already finished Dalliance. No, I'm doing her pulled pork.
I do like a slow pulled pork with this smoky
sort of sauce. So we'll do that. So she wanted that.
And then Sunday we've got, of course, Father's Day for
the Love God.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And we'll tell you. And finally from the news. What
are you doing on Sunday? What does it say down here? Anyway,
you're up to date.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
That thing on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Oh, wow. Literally, we've run out of road. Vapors.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Oh, no, we're just taking him out for lunch.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
We know he's having leftover pork tonight.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Can I admit something? Can I admit something?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Please.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I was picking up some books on my bedside table
through the week, and last year's Father's Day card fell
out of one of the books. I must have shoved
it in for a bookmark. But in there... was the
voucher that we got him last year. He forgot he
had it.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Give it back. Just see if he notices.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
He's getting it again. He's got no idea. He won't remember.
He'll have no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He's like Homer Simpson.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
He's getting it again. He's got no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
What a lovely gift.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Christian, can you imagine the uproar? It's on today's show.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Uproar.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If on Mother's Day, Patsy was re-gifted last year's gift certificate.
You're right, Campbell. And you picked the only word for this. Uproar.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, I tell you what would happen. I would appreciate
my gift and I would have used it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Get out of it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Get out of it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Liar, liar. Pats on fire.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
I would next day use it if it was a
facial or a massage.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
There's no way you'd be on the show giving it
the large one. No, I would not. Torching that man.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Throwing it to the side of the bed and thinking, oh, yeah,
that's nice. And forgetting about it.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Get out of here.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
No chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
This is Shannon Christian. I'm knocking off today at 2 o'clock.
Tomorrow is my daughter's wedding. Congratulations to all of you.
Big weekend. It'll be my first ever father of the
bride speech.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Krishna, I'm wondering, is 10 minutes too long? How's a
good flow of laughs and emotions when one of us
are too long? 10 minutes doesn't sound too long. long
i think as long as you've done it in front
of somebody else who will give you honest feedback yes
yeah that's the most important thing 10 minutes doesn't sound
too long i tell you did a great speech was
producer caitlyn's dad oh her wedding oh my word yeah
(20:12):
No notes. That was a beautiful speech.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You know, he told me he was practicing it for
six months, like every trip on the car from Tweed
Heads to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But I tell you what, it didn't feel like it.
It didn't feel like it was over-prepared, actually, because I
think you could feel the emotion in it. I think
what Shannon, what I would say is make sure that people,
often when people are doing speeches and things like that,
and it's incredibly nerve-wracking. It's very hard to do speeches
at family get-togethers. It's actually sometimes all you think you
need to do, the job is, the mission is to
(20:42):
Get the speech done. That's not. People want to know
how you feel. When we were watching Caitlin's dad do it,
you knew how proud he was. You saw it and
you felt it. That was the most important thing. That
carried the words. I don't remember a lot of what
he said, but what remained with me is how I
made me feel. That's the most important. Just fill it
with heart and emotion. Don't worry if you get emotional
during it. Make sure you have time for that. I
(21:04):
guarantee you won't be able to get through it without blubbing.
You shouldn't. It'd be odd. It'd be odd if they
were like, no emotion there. Ice cold. Ice cold. Ice man.
What's going on there? Christian, my weekend highlight, going on
a first date. Wish me luck. Karen, good luck this weekend. Now, yesterday,
I went into the beautiful, iconic Dimmocks on George Street,
(21:25):
knowing the Dimmocks building there. I actually had to ask
someone where it was. That's a great sign up there, mate.
Right there. That's a great sign up there. Dimmocks, do
you read it, Thicky? You follow that and you go in.
That's where it is. And I was in there signing
copies of my new book, Unscripted. It wasn't like an
official signing. They just want to be coming and sign
the stock. Because apparently signed copies by authors sell more books.
(21:48):
And because it's Father's Day. Anyway, I'm there right at
the back of the store. But I won the teals.
And there's like 100 copies of my book in three stacks.
So I'm just turbo signing them. My Sharpies are gone.
Chandler Manager is a lovely guy. This woman shuffles up
to me. She goes, I'm so disturbed. I can see
you're busy stock counting. You think I signed? And she
(22:09):
obviously thought I was the manager there, right? Of the
Dimmicks on Shaw Street. That I signed all the books
as well. Hang on, she's got the Bible to do here.
Signed copies, they sell more. From God. And she goes,
would you be able to recommend a book? The guy
who works at Dimmicks goes to me like, oh, awesome. Open, go. I...
Got nervous. No. I'm actually tensing up now. I couldn't
(22:34):
sell my own book to her. I went, I went,
what are you into? Oh, come on. I sent it
to someone at the store. The guy goes, you're the
world's worst salesman.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You hear you signing copies of your damn book. Send
your book to her. She wants to buy a book.
She was a bit nervous. He said she was really nervous.
This is a book about speaking, overcoming speaking fears. Wow,
I've never seen anything like this. I got nervous.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You've written a book about getting over nerves and speaking.
I didn't say I'm a master of it. What did
you suggest? She was into some fiction novels. There's ones
about the orcs and elves that my wife gets into,
or Sarah, whatever her name is. Or the dragon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The old elf horn out the back. Anyway, if you
(23:20):
do want to get your dad, copy my book. There's
a load signed. There's heaps left because you're not suggesting them.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now he finds the courage.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It's a lot easier in a radio studio. There are
George Street Dimmicks. And if you're lost around there, just
look up. And that's when you know you're home and
you're at Dimmicks there. And in Melbourne, there's a load
of signed ones. There's about 100 there at Dimmicks, Chadston
as well. And tomorrow I'm signing. If you know of,
(23:52):
or maybe you work in an independent bookshop, I am
committed to really, really supporting independent bookshops. They are falling
by the wayside. Save our bookshop. That's my next big campaign.
So if you know of any independent bookshops, I'll definitely
come and just sign the copies you've got. And I'm
doing that tomorrow at a lovely independent bookshop in Mornington,
Victoria tomorrow. Just sign the books. It's not an official signing,
(24:14):
but they've got some stocks. And they said it would
really help if you supported our bookshop. And it's a
lovely one. It's called Farrell's. Beautiful little indie bookshop there
in Mornington. I'm selling their copies as well.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
This old woman yesterday came up to me. What's in
this dimmix? Goes, were you on the news last night?
I went, no. I went, no, no, I wasn't on
the news last night. I saw you on the news
last night. I said, I wasn't on the news last night.
I said, you might see me in an advert. I
do a radio show. Maybe, you know, an ad break.
You know, you were on the news last night. I was,
(24:49):
I was. I can assure you it was not on
the news last night. She was giving me the stinky eye.
And I realized the more I protested about it, people
were overhearing. I was not on the news last night.
The more you say it, the more I think you
were on the news. Not on the news. What did
you do? It's a press conference broken out by the
new releases.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I have no recollection of that event.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's not on the news last night. Old people, once
they've got that beady on you, they can't change an opinion.
They won't hear it. It's not a question. They're locked down.
Even if years from now I'm winning a Pulitzer Prize,
you go, that's the guy who was on the news,
the criminal. Anyway, yesterday evening, I go out for dinner alone. Okay,
(25:31):
I take my book with me. Your own book that
you write? No, that would be sad.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Oh my God, this is so good.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You'll get this, guys. Sad beard, sad, sad, sad. More laughs.
What a book. What a book. No, I was reading
my book, and I could see when I turned up,
people were like, oh, God, our buzzkill's here. Divorced dad vibes. Yes. Anyway,
I'm sitting down, and I was at one of these
(25:58):
dreadful communal tables. Oh, yeah. Oh, by yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, have you got a table for one?
They were like, no. All the tables were two and
more people. Why would a restaurant just want tables of ones?
So you don't mind sitting in the community table? You
know when they say you don't mind? It's not a question.
It's like, it's a full stop. You don't mind. Maybe
(26:20):
you pick up some friends or something, lonely guy, with
your book. Maybe shut the old book, bookworm. We put
the news. Yeah, we put the news last night. You're
on the run. Who are you really? Anyway. And then
this family turns up, two really boisterous but charming young
children and their mum. And, of course, they squish up
next to me. And I'm like trying to read my book.
(26:41):
And it's like seven o'clock. It's there in the school uniform.
Time for bed, kiddies. But no, mum's here. And so
I'm trying to read my book, but they're... And Pats,
if you're honest, we love our kids. But when they're
a certain age, like under 10, they're so-called stories. Yes.
Bless them. They're not stories. No. All right? And this kid,
(27:02):
the son, Charlie, his name changed, obviously, is going on
for at least 10 minutes about the flipping wraps situation.
I can tell you everything that was said. I'm trying
to read my goddamn book, Charlie. We're still on the wraps,
aren't we, Maddy? And he's like, you know, well, one
of the kids, I'm there like a really nice chicken wrap.
And the mum was being so like trying to feign
(27:25):
the energy at 7 o'clock. She was nursing this long
neck beer. She just wanted this beer. Charlie's going on
about the flipping wraps and lunch there, Charlie. Look, a
mum is trying to have a beer, Charlie. Chat to
your sister. She had a big netball tournament. Anyway, and
he's like, you know, because you made that tuna one
with soy. I even know about the soy. And she
was like, yeah, that took time, Charlie. She's starting to
(27:45):
get a little bit, that took time. You know, Charlie?
And Charlie's like, yeah, but the chicken one looked really nice, actually.
I think I want a chicken one. Anyway, a lot
about the wraps. Anyway, bless her. As she's leaving, she
leans over to me, touches me on the arm and go,
I'm really sorry if that was a lot. And I went,
do you know what? I was actually more in awe.
I've got daughters. They're older now, but I know what
that's like there. And do you know what I was
really impressed by? What a really present mum you were.
(28:08):
And then she made a funny joke. She said, oh,
that's because I'm in public. And I could tell you
could hear every word. And I went, oh, and then
this is the worst bit. I then go, yeah, because
when you're in your car, you'd be like, enough, Charlie,
about the raps. Right? And then she goes, oh, I
heard all of that. Then there was this horrible gap.
(28:31):
Maybe only three seconds, but it felt like three hours.
And she went, anyway, enjoy your book. You got too familiar. Enough, Charlie,
with the raps. All right, so let's do Chemist's Warehouse,
(28:52):
Product of the Week. What's it for you, Patsy?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Yeah, I packed Audie off to camp. How many times
have I brought that up over the last two weeks?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
No, I get it. It's a really big thing. I mean,
when my daughter's that age going on camp, we found
it really unsettling. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
So I had to pack her up, and she needed
insect repellent.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I have heard a theory that some people … Listen,
the temperature's.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
In Victoria at the moment. You haven't heard any mozzies
since … It's not, it doesn't, it's spring technically. It's
about zero degrees. Classic spring day in Victoria. One degree,
let's go down the beach. Those mozzies are like, it's
too cold to go out today and start stinging anyone.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
She's one of those people that the mozzies love. They
just love her blood and they just get right into us.
So we needed something really, really good. You know, a
lot of A lot of the brands don't work on
her skin, but this we've found has been brilliant. It's
Thursday Plantation Walkabout Insect Repellent. So this is the brand
that brings you all those beautiful tea tree products.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
As well. Oh, I know.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, I've got that. 100% pure Aussie tea tree oil.
It's a roll-on, so it's not messy in a bag
and stuff, and she's also got one in her school bag.
So it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It's Thursday Plantation. Tell me this, Patsy, have you generally
not heard from her this week? No, no, no. You
didn't slip in a little burner, you know, that you're
in prison cells, put it inside a bar of soap.
That's how the pros do it.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Put a blade in there. No, no, no contact whatsoever.
No phones, which is a good thing. A good thing
for four days.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, but also hard.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Your idea's a good thing, but wait, she's only been
gone 48 hours.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
No, four days.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, right.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Four days, but not good for us. You know, like
there's no, that line has been cut with scissors, that connection.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yep, should have been done with the umbilical cord, but anyway.
We've now fallen into a therapy session. Quick reel. We
should give it to our house part of the week. Pivot. Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
If you haven't got your dad, if for some crazy
reason you haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They haven't. They haven't.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Get him a lovely cologne from Chemist Warehouse.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm about to recommend one. What are you going to recommend?
Do you know what? I had a sniff of it
the other day and I used to wear it 20
years ago. I forgot how great it smells. I would
recommend for dad, We are in spring, something zesty, but
it's still got some bass notes of Sandalwood. Good old
Davidoff Cool Water. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just watch
(31:09):
heads turn as the old man in the quarter zip
has still got game.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Is that how you landed Sarah, your wife?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Davidoff on the neck. That was my days in the
90s when I used to wear two fragrances. Two fragrances?
And you know what? Too much. Acrid. Acrid.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
What could I suggest for the classy gentleman?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Hey, Davidoff Coldwater is. You're telling me the man in
the boat isn't classy in the azure waters of Italy,
in that little canoe boat of his? Even classier. Nothing
classier than Davidoff Coldwater. How dare you?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
There is a Victoria Bitter long neck cologne.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh, no. No. That's a bogan. Get it. Oh, no.
Come on. Hey, that's for the cologne. Zesty high notes.
Low sandalwood bass notes.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
For the hardworking gent. He's done a hard day of
all the work. He comes back, cracks open a long neck.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, you don't dab it.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And it's half price. Yeah. No wonder. We're a Stavidoff cohort.
You pay for what you get. Okay, good chat, guys.

He loves it. So I knew barbecue would be perfect
for my dad.
Speaker 1 (34:08):

Speaker 8 (36:07):
Absolutely better than anybody.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
And he doesn't need coffee for energy.

You're a little bit.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Hi, Christian.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
What?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's a messy bed of yours.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
I listen to you every day.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love your show so much.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Well, hopefully one day when I grow up, I get
to be as talented as your dad. But until that day,
I would just do a humble radio show, Jude. But Jude,
just hearing the love you've got for your dad. This
is exactly what Father's Day is about. What an amazingly
well-spoken and just sort of lovely kid you are as well, Jude.
Thanks for listening to the show.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You've been so good on the radio. Have you ever
called a radio show before?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
No, this is my first time.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
It doesn't make any sense that you're that good. You're
better than me. When you're ready, I'll hand the headphones
over to you, Jude, okay? Yes, please. All right, take
it easy. I still need another couple of years. Pay
off some mortgages and financials. Get my affairs in order.
Give me another couple of years on this contract, and
then we'll see about it then. I've met my replacement, guys.
Get ready for the future king of radio, young Jude.

No, he didn't. He did. That's not going to be
Paddington 4.

There's nothing more exciting.
Speaker 7 (44:07):
You've done a great job.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Good luck. No, it's always not over yet. Good luck
to my daughter, Lois. The reason we're not showing my
younger daughter this weekend. She's in a pub on Sunday
in a Battle of the Bands competition. And I wish
her all the best. There's been a lot going on
this week. There's been tempers rising high. They're doing a
four-song medley. One song by an artist I've never heard of.
(44:31):
One song by Olivia Rodrigo. Madonna, Like a Prayer. Brilliant
version of that mixed in there. And then Out of nowhere.
Luther Vandross. Oh. Never too much, never too much, never
too much. The kids are into Luther Vandross. There's some
soul in there. Why not? I said wild choice. Go

a lovely Father's Day. Tell us all about it on Monday.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning. Friday morning. Before we even get into double
thumbs up, I am so annoyed. I've had a 15-minute
fight this morning at 5 a.m. been an airbnb all
week in sydney with that choose your words choose your
words bastard key safe that's better than what i could
have said those key safes are a law untold themselves
(01:36):
you know they are teenagers they've got a certain way
that you need to speak to them and work with
them and actually sometimes there's a certain code you didn't
know you have to use even they were So getting
the keys out, the holiday can't begin when you're checking
in anywhere until you know you've got the keys. It's
so tense, isn't it? Yeah. The whole flight, you know,
I've got to deal with it. What's the key safe number?
(01:57):
And then even though you know the number, someone with
you is reading out the number, the number doesn't work
with the key safe. Sometimes you have to ring the
super host, and then it's the same number they gave you,
and then suddenly it works. And there's that. That thing
you have to pull down. The little lever, yes. It's tiny.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
How can anyone's fingers actually hold that thing down for
long enough?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And then getting the keys back in for some reason
is harder. You know they came out. You did it
just a short few days ago. Getting them in this
morning also made it hard for me. It was 5 a.m.
The bastard key safe is out the front of the
building where there's the dimmest lit light. I think it
was like minus a lumen. This thing's a black hole.
It was actually taking light from the universe and sucking
(02:37):
it in. And so then I'm thinking, it's just me,
and I'm like, oh, I used to light the torch
on my phone. No, I need both hands. No, yeah, exactly.
You have to put it into that thing where it's
in your mouth. Yes, that's it, yeah. Now it looks
like I'm breaking in. It just looks like I'm breaking in.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
You're trying to break out.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm trying to break out. And then those tumblers have
edges that hurt. Yes. They really hurt. They're like little
bread knives.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Four bread knives. And so they're trying to get the
key because they wouldn't shut with the keys in.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You can never put them. They're like a Chinese finger trap.
It's like you can get it out, but you can't
get it back in.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
There's a certain way they want to be arranged. And
it's on the side. And there were two sets of keys.
You're at the top. You don't want no. And you're
trying to ram the thing. You're trying to ram it shut.
15 minutes of sweating by the end of it. And
then I felt like I'd won a game show when
it was in. I felt like there was no one
to validate this moment. Anyway, guys, happy Friday. Well done.
(03:31):
Thank you so much, guys. It's great to be here.
All right, the start of every Friday show, we call
it Double Thumbs Up. We go around the team. We
talk about the things that we're enjoying this week. Please
tell me someone else has seen Ray Gunn, the documentary
on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yes, I watched it last night. Breaking Badly. What a
great title, firstly.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And also, they mustn't have told her the title of
the documentary because if someone said to her, oh, yeah,
we're going to do a documentary on it, we're going
to call it Breaking Badly.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think the pitch was Netflix, documentary, You and your
enabler husband. One word, enabler. He should have said something
to her. In any relationship, one of you can be deluded.
That's me and ours. You need someone else who's just
going to give you some painful, hard truths. Hey, you
know what? You can't break dance. Don't go on the
(04:16):
world's biggest stage and then be surprised when they go,
you're terrible.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It was completely his fault because she just was a
bad break dancer.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He poorly trained her.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He poorly trained her, but she wasn't doing all these crazy, terrible,
embarrassing moves.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And then he goes, I've had an idea. I've had
an idea for the finals. Just freestyle it. I act
like a toddler having a tantrum and you watch those
girls come our way.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
And then he said he watched the performance and he goes,
It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Were you seeing that the rest of us untrained breakers?
But she's deeply charismatic. She actually comes across quite well. Yes. Yes.
And then there was other, she didn't learn a lesson.
She entered other competitions. And she kept going. You can't
say she's not persistent. Australians love a battler. They do.
(05:06):
But it was a lot, it was sad at times
as to reaction personally. You know, when someone comes, we
don't really think about You just think, oh, well, she
did that. And you all pile on. You know, she
became a worldwide joke. You never really slow down to
think about the human level, what that would have been
like for her. And obviously seeing the documentary and what
she went through and then the other side of it.
But I thought it was a lot sweeter and a
(05:28):
hell of a lot funnier. And I think it was funnier,
not for the reasons that even the filmmakers thought it
was a husband.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah, that husband needs to be locked up.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
He should have his own show. I think every couple
should watch that. And just so we understand, someone in
this relationship needs to tell the truth.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
If I'm about to become a national embarrassment, you must
stop me.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, definitely.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
We're doing double thumbs up our Friday recommendations. What are
you enjoying at the moment? 0475031043. We're talking about Ray Gunn,
Breaking Badly, brand new Netflix documentary, dropped yesterday, as the
kids say. It dropped. It's dropped. It's dropping. It's going
to drop, and then it's dropped. It's dropped, guys. The
(06:16):
show's dropping. This show is dropping right now. It's out now.
I'm dropping it now, okay? The other thing I didn't
realize is I know of the Nutbush. No one warns
you about the Nutbush that some night you're going to
be in a room and suddenly all Australians will just
move as one. And no one warns you this is
a thing. It's actually quite scary. You move to the
side like, what are they doing? I didn't know the
(06:38):
sprinkler was also one of your moves. Me neither. You know,
the Charleston, the Foxtrot countries all have their own unique dances.
But I didn't know yours were the sprinkler. How we
all laughed at Reagan. I didn't realize, wait, there's 22
million of them that love doing the sprinkler. I didn't really,
because it's such a... And they say Australia has no culture. Exactly.
What about the sprinkler? What about the sprinkler?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I had no idea myself that it was an Australian
dance move. I knew it was a famous and, you know,
very well-respected maneuver.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They surely eat at school? They didn't teach it at school.
It's more just taught... It's assumed.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's like, you know how birds, when they're born, they
know where to fly to, to migrate.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
When you're an Australian... You know the sprinkler. You come
out doing the sprinkler. The sprinkler.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
What about the rabbit and the roo? The kangaroo's still,
to me, it's like the Nike swoosh. That's her brand.
It's like the Nike swoosh. Is that part of it
as well, just the sprinkler?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Just the sprinkler. No, that's a Ray Gunn original. I
think she's probably trademarked it as well.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Actually, she has. Patsy, what have you enjoyed this week, mate?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Oh, we've been riding to Dalliance, which is a great
new Aussie drama.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Oh, it's got a huge cast.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He's having a massive resurgence. Hugo Weaving is in everything.
He is the heel turn. He's a horrific, brilliant baddie
in Slow Horses. Oh, my God, he's so good. He's incredible.
And then I just started watching the show on SBS,
a very, Very mild show called The Airport Chaplain.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Oh, yes, I saw the ads for that during the
World Cup.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hugo's the star of it. I really need it this week.
It's been a nice kind of, it's a real slow burn. Anyway, Patsy,
what's Daliance like? People are raving about it.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Well, it's huge because it's got Hugo, it's got David Wenham,
Georgie Parker, Catherine McClemmons, Heather Mitchell, who I loved in
A Place to Call Home, beautifully filmed in Sydney. It's
a little six-episode series. I would describe it, Secret Life
of Us was a huge show here. So it's kind
of like that for retirees.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But you're working.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Endearingly though, endearingly so. Like it follows the lives of
these group of 60-year-old or, you know, mates in their 60s.
Life isn't exactly what it seems.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, let's say maybe call James and Amanda this afternoon
and have a chat with them about it. Retirees?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Retirees, yes. So it's a bit like Secret Life of Us,
but for people who are in that decade of their life.
And it's absolutely brilliant. And it's not what it seems.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You don't see that. You know these days how they
organise on all the streaming services, crime thrillers, documentary, sports documentaries, retirees.
Getting ready to die, this is a show for you.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
But it's about that season of your life and that
you're not dead yet, that there's still a little.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Living to do. Winter's coming for you, mate. Hey, listen, winters.
It's six episodes because you ain't going to do 12 seasons.
You haven't got that much time left. It's not Game
of Thrones. What it is, is it's two episodes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Microdrama. I love a six-episode series. I love it because
then I can move on to the next thing.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, because I want to know, if I'm going to
invest in this relationship, meet me halfway. Don't be leaving
so soon. You know, by the time you're really getting
to know someone, you're saying goodbye. It's so hard. So hard.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
It's got a beautiful Hugo Weaving in there with the,
you know, the hair and the beard.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Look, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's all you need in a man, isn't it? You've
got a hair and a beard. I'm getting in your truck.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
No, it was brilliant. The other thing that I've noticed,
this is like a really, it's just a little series
on YouTube. It's called Family Dinner. It's a short little,
it's got like comedy shorts. So it sort of episode,
if you like, goes for, I don't know, four or
five minutes. It's basically just a family set in the eighties,
sitting around dinner and just the shenanigans that go on,
(10:18):
just the conversation. And you think, oh, this family is
so dysfunctional. And then you think, yeah, but that's actually
like my family. Like it's actually really relatable. It's If
you like the Goldbergs, you will love this.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh, my God, I love the Goldbergs.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
It's hilarious. It's called Family Dinner. You'll see it on YouTube.
It's really, really funny.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
All right, thanks, Pats. We'll be back after this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Later on this morning, we must talk about when you
put your foot in it. We all know what I'm
talking about. It happened yesterday evening after a mother apologized
to me about something, and I said something as a joke,
and she didn't know like it. As soon as I
woke up this morning, you know when that shudder comes
(11:01):
over you, just that memory of a horrible experience. All that, that, that.
It's like a kind of hangover. Yeah. An existential hangover.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Some of those things never leave.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But I've already got the scar tissue of too many,
too many. Even on my best days, something nice can happen.
And then, So that voice comes up. Hey, do you
remember that time in February 2007? Like, yeah, you're right.
He took a turn somewhere there. All right, double thumbs
up for me this week. The current, the new series
of Slow Horses is the best one. I was lucky
(11:34):
enough to see a preview of it last month. It
is outstanding. Enjoy what we've got. We're down to the
last two seasons of Slow Horses. Been one of the
best TV shows over the last couple of years, actually. Lanterns,
I originally thought, Not sure about this. Has now become
my current favorite TV show.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Is that the Green Lantern?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yes, my partner's watching that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
He loves it. It's got so much better. The episode three,
which came out this week, fellow Lantern fans, was incredible.
Watched it twice. It's just got so much better. What's
his power? It's the ring, but it's so much about
why he didn't really earn the right to have the ring.
I know this is going to sound real. What's happening, Christian? Sorry,
(12:12):
has he turned into a 12-year-old boy? Yeah, I've never
heard you talk about this. Has he brought his comic
books in for today's show? Here you go, the volume five.
I'm not one of those. No, you don't watch any Marvel. No, no,
I really don't. This is DC. Oh! Okay. Okay? Let's
just step back from the mic a bit, okay? Today's
show is dropping. It's dropped, okay? So, yeah, Lanterns is fantastic.
(12:35):
Stud also watching the brand-new season of The Gentleman. the
way it works with Double Thumbs Up, if we don't
like a show we don't talk about, that's all we've
got to say with a gentleman. A lot of other people, perhaps,
are watching dalliance and saying how great it is.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
It's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They're just messaging from their care homes, actually. But it's
good to see you found your fans.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
The Christian O'Connell Show.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Go on.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Father's Day this weekend. Why is it every time I
say that, I reckon 99.9% listening are like, God, what?
This weekend? Yes. Sunday. And you, if you started prodding
around with lanterns, you don't want that fight, buddy. You
can't win it. This message here, I'm just going to
(13:24):
read it verbatim. There's no formal greeting. No good morning
Christian on the team. Here's power. You can tell they're like,
Breathe before you send this, Malcolm. His power allows him
to make constructs out of his own willpower. So second episode,
he needs a bottle opener. He used the ring to
do that. That's a great use of power. It's a
(13:47):
good dad skill. I was like, God damn it, if
I was super, that's what I'd use it for. That
flying around looks bloody knackering. You've got to get yourself
back there, recharge the ring. Where's the lantern to recharge
the ring? The only downside is... To Green Lantern, it's
his weakness is the color yellow, and that's the color
of fear. I didn't even know that. I've seen three
(14:07):
episodes of it. They've not mentioned the color of fear
is yellow.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
It's a pretty big Achilles heel because yellow is the sun.
It's going to give you away. It's going to give
you away. Certain teams' jumpers, yellow, is going to trigger you. Christian,
double thumbs up for me. I'm reading a book called
The Maidens. It's set in London. It's set in London
with flashbacks to ancient Greece. Christian, you must watch I
(14:33):
Will Find You. We've been banging on about this the
last couple of weeks. That is outstanding. Brilliant, brilliant Harbin
Coburn show with Sam Weatherton, the star of that. Christian,
are you watching the show The Death of the Pastor's Wife?
It will blow your mind about bizarre. Some people might say, no, I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Out of that. My wife has talked through that, though.
It's too much. Too much for me. All right. Knock
off Friday. Rio, what is your highlight for you this weekend?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Sunday on Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well done.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Firstly, we've got Dad a collective present from the family,
a classic dad shoe, a pair of brown sketches. Oh, wow.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Wow. Slide into them. Are they the laceless ones? I
believe they are, yes, the loafers. The future of shoes
for middle-aged and upper-middle-aged people. The official loafer of the dad. Oh,
you should tell them about the TV show. An old
lady was telling me about dalliance. Yes, well, he's almost 80, so.
Take that back. No, no, no.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Go back, go back, go back.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
He might be a bit young for it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Don't want it back, don't want it back, don't want
it back. You take it.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Some hot young, well, 50-year-old mother.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Retiree, retiree, your words. Target audience, retirees. Well. So what
have you got, Dad? No, that's from everyone. Oh, wow.
That's so tight.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Mum actually sent me a message.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
What's that, about $ 12 each?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Two of his kids are on TV.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Mum sent an urgent text saying to the kids, don't
worry about getting dad anything. I've got him a pair
of brown sketches. But I will be making him some
XO pippies on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
He'll be as happy as anything with that. And are
you all coming back? You and your sisters? Yes, we're
all coming over to mum and dad's.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Mum and I wake up at 6am to get to
the seafood shop at 7 when it opens.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We'll get the pippies and the oysters. Patsy, what are
you up to this weekend, mate?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Oh, today I'm so excited because my daughter, my 15-year-old,
gets back from camp today.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And you hadn't zero contact.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I can't even, I might start crying. I've missed her.
Both Chris and I have missed her so much.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I bet the house would have been so empty.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Oh, it's been awful. It's been so quiet, even the
dog sulking. And so she gets home today, but I
have to contain, I've been told to contain my excitement
at pick-up. I said I'd go and pick her up
at school because she's got all her gear and her.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Kit and stuff. Yeah, but secretly they don't want you
to be contained.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
No, no, no, no, no. Break down. You know, like
a wailing Italian nun at a funeral. Throw yourself to
the ground.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Never leave me munchy-wunchykins again.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Mummy want me back. Stop rolling around on the ground.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Don't get out of the car. Just stay in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Get some rosary beads. Stop praying. Act crazier than even normal.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I just want to give her a big cuddle and
a big kiss.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I've missed her so much.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
No, she'll kill me. She'll disown me.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
She won't. She'll pretend she will, but deep down inside,
she'll feel missed and she'll feel loved. Don't ever hold
that back.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
I keep waking up through the night and I wonder
if it's like mother's instinct and I think, is she
actually awake? Is she cold? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Is she having fun?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I bet that's... So it gets worse as they get older.
I thought it'd be, oh, I've missed her incredibly.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
The levels of trickiness just get higher and higher and higher.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
I've missed her so much.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So what have you got? Were you cooking her favourite
dinner tonight? It's a takeaway. Sit down, watch the brand
new ep of Dalliance. What is it?
Speaker 7 (17:47):
We've already finished Dalliance. No, I'm doing her pulled pork.
I do like a slow pulled pork with this smoky
sort of sauce. So we'll do that. So she wanted that.
And then Sunday we've got, of course, Father's Day for
the Love God.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And we'll tell you. And finally from the news. What
are you doing on Sunday? What does it say down here? Anyway,
you're up to date.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
That thing on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Oh, wow. Literally, we've run out of road. Vapors.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Oh, no, we're just taking him out for lunch.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
We know he's having leftover pork tonight.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Can I admit something? Can I admit something?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Please.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I was picking up some books on my bedside table
through the week, and last year's Father's Day card fell
out of one of the books. I must have shoved
it in for a bookmark. But in there... was the
voucher that we got him last year. He forgot he
had it.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Give it back. Just see if he notices.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
He's getting it again. He's got no idea. He won't remember.
He'll have no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He's like Homer Simpson.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
He's getting it again. He's got no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
What a lovely gift.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Christian, can you imagine the uproar? It's on today's show.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Uproar.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If on Mother's Day, Patsy was re-gifted last year's gift certificate.
You're right, Campbell. And you picked the only word for this. Uproar.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, I tell you what would happen. I would appreciate
my gift and I would have used it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Get out of it.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Get out of it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Liar, liar. Pats on fire.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
I would next day use it if it was a
facial or a massage.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
There's no way you'd be on the show giving it
the large one. No, I would not. Torching that man.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Throwing it to the side of the bed and thinking, oh, yeah,
that's nice. And forgetting about it.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Get out of here.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
No chance in hell.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
This is Shannon Christian. I'm knocking off today at 2 o'clock.
Tomorrow is my daughter's wedding. Congratulations to all of you.
Big weekend. It'll be my first ever father of the
bride speech.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Krishna, I'm wondering, is 10 minutes too long? How's a
good flow of laughs and emotions when one of us
are too long? 10 minutes doesn't sound too long. long
i think as long as you've done it in front
of somebody else who will give you honest feedback yes
yeah that's the most important thing 10 minutes doesn't sound
too long i tell you did a great speech was
producer caitlyn's dad oh her wedding oh my word yeah
(20:12):
No notes. That was a beautiful speech.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You know, he told me he was practicing it for
six months, like every trip on the car from Tweed
Heads to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But I tell you what, it didn't feel like it.
It didn't feel like it was over-prepared, actually, because I
think you could feel the emotion in it. I think
what Shannon, what I would say is make sure that people,
often when people are doing speeches and things like that,
and it's incredibly nerve-wracking. It's very hard to do speeches
at family get-togethers. It's actually sometimes all you think you
need to do, the job is, the mission is to
(20:42):
Get the speech done. That's not. People want to know
how you feel. When we were watching Caitlin's dad do it,
you knew how proud he was. You saw it and
you felt it. That was the most important thing. That
carried the words. I don't remember a lot of what
he said, but what remained with me is how I
made me feel. That's the most important. Just fill it
with heart and emotion. Don't worry if you get emotional
during it. Make sure you have time for that. I
(21:04):
guarantee you won't be able to get through it without blubbing.
You shouldn't. It'd be odd. It'd be odd if they
were like, no emotion there. Ice cold. Ice cold. Ice man.
What's going on there? Christian, my weekend highlight, going on
a first date. Wish me luck. Karen, good luck this weekend. Now, yesterday,
I went into the beautiful, iconic Dimmocks on George Street,
(21:25):
knowing the Dimmocks building there. I actually had to ask
someone where it was. That's a great sign up there, mate.
Right there. That's a great sign up there. Dimmocks, do
you read it, Thicky? You follow that and you go in.
That's where it is. And I was in there signing
copies of my new book, Unscripted. It wasn't like an
official signing. They just want to be coming and sign
the stock. Because apparently signed copies by authors sell more books.
(21:48):
And because it's Father's Day. Anyway, I'm there right at
the back of the store. But I won the teals.
And there's like 100 copies of my book in three stacks.
So I'm just turbo signing them. My Sharpies are gone.
Chandler Manager is a lovely guy. This woman shuffles up
to me. She goes, I'm so disturbed. I can see
you're busy stock counting. You think I signed? And she
(22:09):
obviously thought I was the manager there, right? Of the
Dimmicks on Shaw Street. That I signed all the books
as well. Hang on, she's got the Bible to do here.
Signed copies, they sell more. From God. And she goes,
would you be able to recommend a book? The guy
who works at Dimmicks goes to me like, oh, awesome. Open, go. I...
Got nervous. No. I'm actually tensing up now. I couldn't
(22:34):
sell my own book to her. I went, I went,
what are you into? Oh, come on. I sent it
to someone at the store. The guy goes, you're the
world's worst salesman.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You hear you signing copies of your damn book. Send
your book to her. She wants to buy a book.
She was a bit nervous. He said she was really nervous.
This is a book about speaking, overcoming speaking fears. Wow,
I've never seen anything like this. I got nervous.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You've written a book about getting over nerves and speaking.
I didn't say I'm a master of it. What did
you suggest? She was into some fiction novels. There's ones
about the orcs and elves that my wife gets into,
or Sarah, whatever her name is. Or the dragon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The old elf horn out the back. Anyway, if you
(23:20):
do want to get your dad, copy my book. There's
a load signed. There's heaps left because you're not suggesting them.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now he finds the courage.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It's a lot easier in a radio studio. There are
George Street Dimmicks. And if you're lost around there, just
look up. And that's when you know you're home and
you're at Dimmicks there. And in Melbourne, there's a load
of signed ones. There's about 100 there at Dimmicks, Chadston
as well. And tomorrow I'm signing. If you know of,
(23:52):
or maybe you work in an independent bookshop, I am
committed to really, really supporting independent bookshops. They are falling
by the wayside. Save our bookshop. That's my next big campaign.
So if you know of any independent bookshops, I'll definitely
come and just sign the copies you've got. And I'm
doing that tomorrow at a lovely independent bookshop in Mornington,
Victoria tomorrow. Just sign the books. It's not an official signing,
(24:14):
but they've got some stocks. And they said it would
really help if you supported our bookshop. And it's a
lovely one. It's called Farrell's. Beautiful little indie bookshop there
in Mornington. I'm selling their copies as well.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
This old woman yesterday came up to me. What's in
this dimmix? Goes, were you on the news last night?
I went, no. I went, no, no, I wasn't on
the news last night. I saw you on the news
last night. I said, I wasn't on the news last night.
I said, you might see me in an advert. I
do a radio show. Maybe, you know, an ad break.
You know, you were on the news last night. I was,
(24:49):
I was. I can assure you it was not on
the news last night. She was giving me the stinky eye.
And I realized the more I protested about it, people
were overhearing. I was not on the news last night.
The more you say it, the more I think you
were on the news. Not on the news. What did
you do? It's a press conference broken out by the
new releases.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I have no recollection of that event.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's not on the news last night. Old people, once
they've got that beady on you, they can't change an opinion.
They won't hear it. It's not a question. They're locked down.
Even if years from now I'm winning a Pulitzer Prize,
you go, that's the guy who was on the news,
the criminal. Anyway, yesterday evening, I go out for dinner alone. Okay,
(25:31):
I take my book with me. Your own book that
you write? No, that would be sad.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Oh my God, this is so good.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You'll get this, guys. Sad beard, sad, sad, sad. More laughs.
What a book. What a book. No, I was reading
my book, and I could see when I turned up,
people were like, oh, God, our buzzkill's here. Divorced dad vibes. Yes. Anyway,
I'm sitting down, and I was at one of these
(25:58):
dreadful communal tables. Oh, yeah. Oh, by yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was like, have you got a table for one?
They were like, no. All the tables were two and
more people. Why would a restaurant just want tables of ones?
So you don't mind sitting in the community table? You
know when they say you don't mind? It's not a question.
It's like, it's a full stop. You don't mind. Maybe
(26:20):
you pick up some friends or something, lonely guy, with
your book. Maybe shut the old book, bookworm. We put
the news. Yeah, we put the news last night. You're
on the run. Who are you really? Anyway. And then
this family turns up, two really boisterous but charming young
children and their mum. And, of course, they squish up
next to me. And I'm like trying to read my book.
(26:41):
And it's like seven o'clock. It's there in the school uniform.
Time for bed, kiddies. But no, mum's here. And so
I'm trying to read my book, but they're... And Pats,
if you're honest, we love our kids. But when they're
a certain age, like under 10, they're so-called stories. Yes.
Bless them. They're not stories. No. All right? And this kid,
(27:02):
the son, Charlie, his name changed, obviously, is going on
for at least 10 minutes about the flipping wraps situation.
I can tell you everything that was said. I'm trying
to read my goddamn book, Charlie. We're still on the wraps,
aren't we, Maddy? And he's like, you know, well, one
of the kids, I'm there like a really nice chicken wrap.
And the mum was being so like trying to feign
(27:25):
the energy at 7 o'clock. She was nursing this long
neck beer. She just wanted this beer. Charlie's going on
about the flipping wraps and lunch there, Charlie. Look, a
mum is trying to have a beer, Charlie. Chat to
your sister. She had a big netball tournament. Anyway, and
he's like, you know, because you made that tuna one
with soy. I even know about the soy. And she
was like, yeah, that took time, Charlie. She's starting to
(27:45):
get a little bit, that took time. You know, Charlie?
And Charlie's like, yeah, but the chicken one looked really nice, actually.
I think I want a chicken one. Anyway, a lot
about the wraps. Anyway, bless her. As she's leaving, she
leans over to me, touches me on the arm and go,
I'm really sorry if that was a lot. And I went,
do you know what? I was actually more in awe.
I've got daughters. They're older now, but I know what
that's like there. And do you know what I was
really impressed by? What a really present mum you were.
(28:08):
And then she made a funny joke. She said, oh,
that's because I'm in public. And I could tell you
could hear every word. And I went, oh, and then
this is the worst bit. I then go, yeah, because
when you're in your car, you'd be like, enough, Charlie,
about the raps. Right? And then she goes, oh, I
heard all of that. Then there was this horrible gap.
(28:31):
Maybe only three seconds, but it felt like three hours.
And she went, anyway, enjoy your book. You got too familiar. Enough, Charlie,
with the raps. All right, so let's do Chemist's Warehouse,
(28:52):
Product of the Week. What's it for you, Patsy?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Yeah, I packed Audie off to camp. How many times
have I brought that up over the last two weeks?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
No, I get it. It's a really big thing. I mean,
when my daughter's that age going on camp, we found
it really unsettling. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
So I had to pack her up, and she needed
insect repellent.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I have heard a theory that some people … Listen,
the temperature's.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
In Victoria at the moment. You haven't heard any mozzies
since … It's not, it doesn't, it's spring technically. It's
about zero degrees. Classic spring day in Victoria. One degree,
let's go down the beach. Those mozzies are like, it's
too cold to go out today and start stinging anyone.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
She's one of those people that the mozzies love. They
just love her blood and they just get right into us.
So we needed something really, really good. You know, a
lot of A lot of the brands don't work on
her skin, but this we've found has been brilliant. It's
Thursday Plantation Walkabout Insect Repellent. So this is the brand
that brings you all those beautiful tea tree products.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
As well. Oh, I know.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, I've got that. 100% pure Aussie tea tree oil.
It's a roll-on, so it's not messy in a bag
and stuff, and she's also got one in her school bag.
So it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It's Thursday Plantation. Tell me this, Patsy, have you generally
not heard from her this week? No, no, no. You
didn't slip in a little burner, you know, that you're
in prison cells, put it inside a bar of soap.
That's how the pros do it.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Put a blade in there. No, no, no contact whatsoever.
No phones, which is a good thing. A good thing
for four days.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, but also hard.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Your idea's a good thing, but wait, she's only been
gone 48 hours.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
No, four days.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, right.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Four days, but not good for us. You know, like
there's no, that line has been cut with scissors, that connection.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yep, should have been done with the umbilical cord, but anyway.
We've now fallen into a therapy session. Quick reel. We
should give it to our house part of the week. Pivot. Okay.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
If you haven't got your dad, if for some crazy
reason you haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
They haven't. They haven't.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Get him a lovely cologne from Chemist Warehouse.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm about to recommend one. What are you going to recommend?
Do you know what? I had a sniff of it
the other day and I used to wear it 20
years ago. I forgot how great it smells. I would
recommend for dad, We are in spring, something zesty, but
it's still got some bass notes of Sandalwood. Good old
Davidoff Cool Water. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just watch
(31:09):
heads turn as the old man in the quarter zip
has still got game.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Is that how you landed Sarah, your wife?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
It is.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Davidoff on the neck. That was my days in the
90s when I used to wear two fragrances. Two fragrances?
And you know what? Too much. Acrid. Acrid.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
What could I suggest for the classy gentleman?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Hey, Davidoff Coldwater is. You're telling me the man in
the boat isn't classy in the azure waters of Italy,
in that little canoe boat of his? Even classier. Nothing
classier than Davidoff Coldwater. How dare you?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
There is a Victoria Bitter long neck cologne.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh, no. No. That's a bogan. Get it. Oh, no.
Come on. Hey, that's for the cologne. Zesty high notes.
Low sandalwood bass notes.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
For the hardworking gent. He's done a hard day of
all the work. He comes back, cracks open a long neck.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, you don't dab it.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And it's half price. Yeah. No wonder. We're a Stavidoff cohort.
You pay for what you get. Okay, good chat, guys.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Wait, actually? You are the winner, Jude.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Oh, wait, wait.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah. Is Dad in the car now?
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Is he there?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Is he driving? Hopefully he's driving. You're not driving, Jude.
You're a little bit.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Hi, Christian.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
What?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's a messy bed of yours.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
I listen to you every day.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I love your show so much.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Well, hopefully one day when I grow up, I get
to be as talented as your dad. But until that day,
I would just do a humble radio show, Jude. But Jude,
just hearing the love you've got for your dad. This
is exactly what Father's Day is about. What an amazingly
well-spoken and just sort of lovely kid you are as well, Jude.
Thanks for listening to the show.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You've been so good on the radio. Have you ever
called a radio show before?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
No, this is my first time.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
It doesn't make any sense that you're that good. You're
better than me. When you're ready, I'll hand the headphones
over to you, Jude, okay? Yes, please. All right, take
it easy. I still need another couple of years. Pay
off some mortgages and financials. Get my affairs in order.
Give me another couple of years on this contract, and
then we'll see about it then. I've met my replacement, guys.
Get ready for the future king of radio, young Jude.
(38:00):
Jude and your dad, Adrian, congratulations. What a lovely father-son
relationship you've got. Enjoy Sunday. Enjoy the barbecue, Adrian, as well.
You're an awesome dad.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Thank you so much, Christian.
Speaker 1 (38:12):

younger daughter this weekend. She's in a pub on Sunday
in a Battle of the Bands competition. And I wish
her all the best. There's been a lot going on
this week. There's been tempers rising high. They're doing a
four-song medley. One song by an artist I've never heard of.

One song by Olivia Rodrigo. Madonna, Like a Prayer. Brilliant
version of that mixed in there. And then Out of nowhere.

too much. The kids are into Luther Vandross. There's some
soul in there. Why not? I said wild choice. Go
