Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Oh my god, Oh my god, the glow Have you
seen the glow come from pats I've noticed that I
don't use I don't use the word halo very often,
but I just called it as I say it. I
can't even look at it because it's like twenty sons
because someone here has arisen once more as a radio
(00:23):
Acro winner, double awards, back to back. It was the
big radio awards over the weekend in Sydney and Patsy
won the same awards he won last year, second time running.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well done. You may now refer to me as Dame
Patsy please today.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
To be honest, we we have been doing that for
a while before I even't met you.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh wow, Look honestly, and I did say Friday, I
really honestly didn't. I sort of my spidery senses generally,
I know when I feel good about something, do you
know what I'm saying? And I just had no hint
at all Friday, Like, I honestly thought, like, what are
the chances of back to back? I'm so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Has any news presenter everyone back to back?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Best news reader not sure, Jack, I don't think so. Sure,
I don't think so. But it is incredibly overwhelming. And
deb Knight read out the nominees, which was also a
thrill for me because ila.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Who I listen to this? Who is Deborah Knight?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, Debora Knight's a big.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
She's a dre Knight's mom.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, no, Deborah, Deborah Knight is a legendary news reader
and journalist. She's on two GB at the moment. And
I've always loved Deb's work and introduced myself to it
The Australian opened a couple of years ago. You know,
I was one of those annoying people. I thought, you
know what, I'm just going to go up to her
and tell her how much I adore her. Anyway, when
I walked into the room Saturday night, she actually remembered
(01:44):
me and came up to me before the awards even
got up underway. So that was a thrill. You must
have left an impression at the tenth Jack, I must have.
And Dicky was there as well, But it was, oh,
it was. It felt different to last year. What are
you laughing at? We didn't say who Dicky was either.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
We're going to get quite the story here.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Great story at the end of the night. No, No,
it did feel different to last year. Like last year
felt I don't know, I can't explain it. This year
I felt, I think I've grown a lot this year.
If I can sort of sound a bit egotistical, I
think I've grown a lot within myself and into my skin.
(02:27):
And I think that's a lot to do with now
I'm in my fifties and I'm probably more comfortable and confident, perhaps,
But what I love most about, Yes, it's a news
reading awed, but it's also about what I love most about.
My job is obviously working on the show, but also
the connection with the audience. And I love obviously informing people,
(02:47):
but telling them stories. That's that's what I love. You
live for stories. And yeah, I'm just I'm really overwhelmed, Hue.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You so deserve all the recognition he're getting at the WAW.
It's been it's been too long before you've had due
recognition for just how great you are. So tell me
what was your action from like, because chrisaw where We
Love God was there and Audi was there as well.
They must be so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh, they were so excited. So they were staying. It
was held at Star City in Sydney, and they were
staying in the hotel, so they were like six flights up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And you did fancy bringing them down so they could
actually see you. Take the key with me. Don't get
don't come out, don't come down.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Embarrassment, it's mummy's snape, I said to them. They were
very reluctant, but I said, I think you'll be allowed
to come to the red carpet just to see, you know,
what happens and helps. It was more about involving them
because they're such a major. I couldn't do this if
it wasn't for Chris is just phenomenal and lets me
most of all, lets me be me and doesn't want
(03:43):
to change me and just accept. You know, it's a
hard life. You guys would know it's a hard life
for your partners. It's almost like being a single parent
a lot of the time. You know, they pick up
so much of the slack, and then when you are
home in the second part of the day, you can
be so tired and grumpy, and they do have to
pick up so much. Their husband and wife a lot
(04:03):
of the time, and he is he is an absolute
rock He's absolutely phenomenal as a dad and I love
him to bits. And it's as much their award as
it is mine and Caitlyn producer Caitlyn had Audy on
FaceTime and so they did come down to the red carpet,
or they they did come down to the red carpet
and then retreat it because it was just you know,
(04:23):
it's a squash, you know what it's like, it's just
people everywhere. So he's everyone in their suits and they're
in their tracky decks or did they know they did.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Hotel address those little selfish again.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He did have his boat shoes on and his denim shorts,
but you know.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That look. To be fair, he's probably slightly smarter than
some of the troubladytes that work in radio. They come
into Old Big Smoke once a year for a radio
wards and a drink cup.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But Alreadie, when I got back to the table, it
was very early the award. It was like eight thirty
this year. It's normally sort of they push news off
to the back end of the of the night, so
that kind of took us unawares. It's like, well, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Then they probably realized last year like she's been drinking.
All right, let's do before she gets like a second win. Otherwise,
don't letting go of that microphone. Make sure it's done
before night chairs.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Getting thrown across the room. So yeah, So Caitlin was
facetiming Ords and and she sent me you know the
party emoji and goes yay your number one again, mum,
And and I just wrote back to her, you know
everything I do, Ords, this is all for you and I.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
On the sixth floor that don't come down. I told
you don't watch your face time. Have a look at
the red carpet. It's actually then.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And I just wanted it to know when we tell
her all the time, never let anyone tell you that
you can't do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Because she picked that up on the FaceTime WiFi. This
kind of go I catch you up with you tomorrow.
I'm going to go get a party, got a guy.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
But I wanted to know that because all through my
career I've been told by people that know, not good
enough or no, you're the news girl. You can't cut
into being on the show with people you meant to
do the news. And and that's you know, tribute to
Christian the way that he does our show and the
way he's always done his show. He's involved the whole team,
(06:14):
and I'm so grateful for the opportunities that.
