Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ali, this is Christian O'Connell. Now I'm not back on

(00:02):
the show until Monday with Jack and Pat. However, you
know what it's like. You go on holiday, you log
onto your emails before you get into the office. My
inbox is getting smashed by you guys saying pick me,
pick me, I can whack the tennis ball into the
Kia Arena. What am I talking about? Knock it into
the park? A load of you in the final few

(00:24):
days of the one and only the world's greatest Grand
Slam right here in Melbourne, the Australian Open up for grabs,
my friends. Tickets to go to the finals. Yes, the
men's and the women's both of them are the finals.
All you have to do you get two serves like
the pros. Can you whack the tennis ball into the
Kia Arena from outside of it? If you can, You're

(00:47):
off to the finals. Be the envy of the world.
You'll be there courtside at the one and only AO,
the Australian Open. So email me tell me why I
should pick you. Is wide open, Christian Christian O'Connell dot
com dot au. Just some of them I can see
right now. Who we got here, Christian, please pick me.

(01:08):
My partner and I have four daughters under the age
of eleven. You've got daughters, you get it. My mum
has moved in with us since August. We've also got
a dog in three chickens. I need to get out
of the house, Christian, even if it's only for a
few minutes, to lose this seth you have to come down.
There's this one from Kelly Christian. I want to take

(01:29):
part in Knock It into the Park. I was the
runner up in the nineteen ninety Under eleven D Special
Mixed Doubles competition. Folks, we've got a ringer here, Kelly,
the one and only runner up from the nineteen ninety
under eleven D Special Mixed Doubles competition. We're in the
presence of greatness. I think I've got what it takes.

(01:51):
Please pick me. More emails coming in, Christian. I love
the sound of this. I love a physical challenge, but
also a physics challenge. I have asked chat gpt what
would it take for me to win and knock it
into the park. Apparently, according to chat Gpt, it would
take the weight of the tennis ball fifty six grams.
Will require one hundred and fifty seven duels of kinetic energy.

(02:15):
Failing that, oh see, I'll just hit it and hope
for the best. Rob Come on down, this one's has
come in hot right now. From Samantha Christian. I have
three generations of tennis players in my family, my dad,
my husband, and my son. Samantha are going to rename
you all the three g's. You talk about three generations.
All we do is talk, eat and sleep. Tennis sum

(02:38):
up for us is only the AO and the very
sound of the ball bounce gives us goosebumps. Whenever the
AO the Australian Open finishes, we all feel as if
life has come to a halt. Two weeks of undiluted
find has suddenly gone out For the next few days
we don't want to do. All three of them have
won many trophies during their time. Your son and husband

(03:00):
are both knowing to serve well, Samantha. I really hope
one of the three g's does this. I already hope
you're at the finals. You do need to be there, however,
come on down. You're definitely there. Bring your husband and
your son as well. The rest of you. My inbocks
is wide open email me Christian at Christian O'Connell dot
