Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. By now

nominative to terminism, a theory created by Carl Jung. I believe,
And yeah, this is the only breakth of his show

(00:40):
I'm more of a freud man. It means name driven outcome,
that your name will influence the choice you have on
some subconscious level to the work you go into. The
butcher Bob Chop stomach surgeon Christian I had as a child.
His name was I swear to God this is true,
Doctor Mark Slaughter. Oh, I mean that is a nominative
(01:03):
to terminism. If that was a serial killer, it's the
theory being pred no choice. You couldn't Bob Chops have
no choice but to be a butcher.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Your honor nominative.
Speaker 1 (01:17):

the name, link to the job. The doctor has invented
a new way to collect you're in the well, he
(01:37):
hopes will save the NHS time and money, whilst also
helping the environment. It's the brainchild of consultant urologist Nick
Burns Cox, who was frustrated having to use at least
three frustrated with his flipper tastes.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
A new way to collect. Yes, you just pissing a cup?

why she named her daughter Darrell.
