App Got anything good?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday I
had to go and pick up my wife from a
hospital appointment. And it was an air in a suburb.
But don't know very well, and I got there a
bit early. And I don't know if you've had anywhere
near hospitals. Trying to get anywhere to park ground there
as a nightmare. So I'm going down side streets sort

(00:40):
of doing ever decreasing and increasing circles. I don't know
where the hospital is right now. She's had a local anesthetics.
She's gonna have to walk about eight k's it is
now at all. So anyway, I find someone to park.
It's just in a residential street, and I make sure
they're not blocking anyone's driveway, and I wait for the

(01:00):
call from my wife's heat can come and get me
go try and trace my steps back. So I'm there
about twenty minutes to just outside somehows and I look
in and I see that there's someone looking at me.
You know, we all do that pier when there's some
strange CAI don't recognize, and it's not permit holders.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'm not blocking a dryway. But I could see this
lady restanding.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
At me and I sort of wave to say, hope
it's all right. She doesn't say anything like like move
the car. Ten minutes later, this lovely woman comes out
who listens to the show called NoREL with a cup
of tea and some biscuits. She goes, it is you,
isn't it Christian?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I went, she show? Can I ask what you're doing?
I started, I went, I'm going door to door. I'm
just looking for you listeners. I can tick you off
the list. We haven't got the budgets from marketing. I'm
literally door to all like the Avon man. Hello, can
I interest you on a breakfast shop? Oh that is
so sweet. She brought a cup of tea out and

(01:53):
some biscuits. Incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
We had a lovely chat, really nice chat, and then
I went to go and pick up my wife and
she saw that there was some biscuits in the car.
And then I had to explain that a lady called
Narel had brought out some likely story and she had
she had at Local Anesthetics. Wasn't really in the mood
for the confusion of all. I think I don't think
she actually brought the story either.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I said, I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Randomly have affairs with people. I don't go door to
door going what do you say with me for a biskit?
Do anything risk it for a bitskit? Coming to the
Christian O'Connell's show in me all right. The thing I
also saw in this new suburb, oh, I went traveling
yesterday was a pizza business with a great name. I

(02:36):

you know where they put a but thought into it.

Again, we love that every day and the time waster
and it was earth Wind and Flower.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh, and I gave an imagery hat tip.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I was like, that is I've not seen that one
before for a pizza place, earth Wind and Flower. So
we're going to call this puney business. And I know
we got people listening all around Australia right now. You'll
know in your suburb or your town, maybe it's not
there anymore, or it still is right now. A puney business.
