Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This week we're in Sydney for the week. Every couple
of weeks we're here in Sydney, and I was just
thinking last night one thing I missed when I'm in
here is a home cooked meal. You know, I'm eating
out a lot. Uber eats a lot, and I thought
it'd be really nice, as we get to know on
new listeners here in Sydney, if one of them would
invite me around to their home and cook me dinner.
All right, okay, yeah, look, I'll bring the wine and
(00:49):
the garlic breads, but you cook for me round at yours.
And I've got time this week Wednesday night, So more
on that later, but just start to have a thing
maybe at the back of your mind right now. What
have you got in the pantry that you can rustle
up for your new favorite radio djo.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What are some of your favorite foods.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I'm actually a pretty easy eater, so I don't mind
whatever people would like, whatever their best dishes. Bring your
a game, okay, I'll also bring because I've seen here
there's still about one thousand Viennettas, Yes, actually shoved in
various bits of this office. Here are bring desert as
were and the garlet bread and some wine. You provide
dinner for me. Yeah, all right, but right now, then
(01:28):
next week, next Wednesday, my book finally comes out unscript
And next Monday, Monday night, I'm having a book launch party.
Amazing venue in Melbourne Strato, Melbourne elevated dining with stunning
three hundred and sixty three panoramic views from the iconic
level forty. There's going to be drinks there. And I've
just heard from Deusic Klin can.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Pay whoa whoa fancy books, literature publishing, Canna Pasce Sin
Bollivons chopped up Viennetta.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We can't get rid of these Viennettas, all right? So
and also Rio is going to be running the Q
and A.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I know, I'm excited. I'll be the one asking you question.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh, tables reversed and that cannabase A night to remember.
And now it's next Monday night. But I would presume
if we said Monday night, people would think it's tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
No, yeah, I would say pass.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
If I said Monday night.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, I'd get confused.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, I would. If someone says, so it's Monday night,
it sounds like it's tonight, So we need to say
it's next Monday night.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's not say Monday next week.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh that's good actually, but what about next Monday night?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Monday night? Still next? Is that like tonight?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I just say Monday next week because the next Monday
is no, what is the next month? Would you say that.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
The next Monday available is next Monday? What? What's that
next Monday? Next Monday? So it's next Monday night. Yeah,
tonight is tonight? Next Monday night is the twenty seventh
of tonight?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, and that's when it is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So so I would say to you, if we're acquaintances
in the office, hey, what are you doing next Monday night?
You went that, you wouldn't say I'm not free tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, I'd say I'm hosting a Q and A with
Christians your mind nose.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Which you said there's cannopes available, that would be I'd
leave with cannapes And what about three hundred and sixty
degree view?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah? No matter which way you turn, your.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Head elevated, because there's no point doing that three sixty
degree view on level level one.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I think that when they say elevated darning, I think
they mean more the level of the cuisine, not that
it's elevator.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I think it's both. Oh, you didn't get it. This
is this is general waste. In fact, are you sure
you're the right burst of the Q? And a elevated
means it's heiny and elevated as in the standards. Oh, okay,
it overlooks the entire city.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yes, I guess that is. Oh I would.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I need to see these questions. I know the book
is called unscripted, mainly in a little bit of scriptive for
next Monday night. I'm only dropping cannopes on this night. Rio, okay,
So if you want to come along next Monday night.
So then we got that sorted twenty seventh of July
dining in terms of standards and the height I've in
the sky. Christian. I'm happy to have you around Wednesday night.
(04:16):
