Speaker 1: ahead of him.
Speaker 5: Morning Pete, Morning guys, Happy one hundred.
Speaker 1: By the way, Thank you very much, Pete, Thank you.
Speaker 1: And now Pete, why don't you tell everyone what you're
Speaker 1: up to this morning?
Speaker 4: You're off to go and see the PM.
Speaker 6: Absolutely off to see Anthony Albanezi the man himself.
Speaker 1: And you're launching a rival podcast, aren't it to Karl
Speaker 1: Stefanovic hit as your next guest? Then pod Pots? When
Speaker 1: are you joining Eddie Maguire. I listened to that show
Speaker 1: on a Friday afternoon, Pete and Eddie Teddy.
Speaker 5: I could not keep up with his stats. He's very,
Speaker 5: very good.
Speaker 6: So no a big morning to the Prime Minister's house
Speaker 6: this morning, because of course I just have the feeling
Speaker 6: that he.
Speaker 5: Would want one of these binstickers. Right, it's there here
Speaker 5: for the taking now.
Speaker 6: Obviously I've done a few wrekkis on the Prime Minister's
Speaker 6: house over the last week or so.
Speaker 4: Big night, Oh, that won't be suspicious.
Speaker 1: So they've got cameras everywhere, not any of Muma's blue
Speaker 1: holding Commodore and prowling the old Prowler Midnight Prowler.
Speaker 4: This is a zodiac.
Speaker 6: Every time I go to the Prime Inter's house, I
Speaker 6: do take a different.
Speaker 5: Car just so I don't want to get all that
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. So we'll be in the gold vehicle today.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, keeping it low fi a radio black
Speaker 1: thunder will not arouse suspicion.
Speaker 4: Oh, has he got T shirts to give away? Where's
Speaker 4: a T shirt cannon?
Speaker 6: I'm hoping it's still registered anyway, so we basically the
Speaker 6: bins are sort of they have their own private bin
Speaker 6: area at Kurabilly House. So just in case we can't
Speaker 6: get access to his bins or anything.
Speaker 1: Like that, he probably has to chip in towards a
Speaker 1: body corporate there as well.
Speaker 4: With the body corp.
Speaker 5: They need to change that carpet for sure to and
Speaker 5: then in the front entrance. But anyway, that's a bigger issue.
Speaker 6: The thing that I've got organized, say, we've got a
Speaker 6: brand new bin for him, So if he doesn't have
Speaker 6: the access.
Speaker 5: To the bins, we've got to beIN there ready to go.
Speaker 7: We'll leave giving him a rubbish bin.
Speaker 5: He's a very grateful man. He's always been. He's been
Speaker 5: a big fan of me for years. Did I was
Speaker 5: there on his election night when he got Well, I
Speaker 5: was there. I was there when he got elected, his
Speaker 5: first actual what do.
Speaker 4: You mean you were there?
Speaker 5: Well, I went to his election night.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were like kingmakers. They called him politics,
Speaker 1: don't they?
Speaker 5: Yeah, who were you political? Reporter?
Speaker 4: Pete? They call No?
Speaker 5: One called me actually no, But he was there and
Speaker 5: I was a bit yelly.
Speaker 6: I think I may have had a few Coronas at
Speaker 6: the time and was sort of cheering.
Speaker 1: I mean he really rubbing shoulders of power. No port
Speaker 1: you know, or find sheer as Corona. You know, I
Speaker 1: love The West Wings, one of my favorite TV show.
Speaker 1: I didn' see anyone neck in Coronas were President.
Speaker 6: Bartlett and look to be honest, the Prime Minister's first
Speaker 6: speech that he ever made.
Speaker 5: As a Prime minister was to tell me to calm down.
Speaker 4: Great speech.
Speaker 1: We're all we're all on the verge of every single
Speaker 1: day with Depete, I.
Speaker 5: Get too excited.
Speaker 6: So I need to calm myself down this morning and
Speaker 6: just remember that I am entering a place of very
Speaker 6: high security.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is so many cameras.
Speaker 4: That be respectful, be careful.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So it's literally I'm just going here to I guess
Speaker 6: ask do you want to beIN sticker?
Speaker 1: So I imagine that if people have just been flicking
Speaker 1: around and they're just trying to work out what the
Speaker 1: hell is going on our new marketing campaign. We're asking
Speaker 1: for your bens. We've got bend stickers. Yesterday he gave
Speaker 1: us a lot of brilliant slogans. They're being printed up
Speaker 1: at the moment and we will send them to you
Speaker 1: so you can stick a your ben. All the other
Speaker 1: rival shows are taken over billboards everywhere. We just want
Speaker 1: your bens. They are our bend boards basically. So Pete
Speaker 1: is going to go and hopefully stick her up Terribilly
Speaker 1: House and the Prime Minister's bens.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think he'll be I think he'll be excited
Speaker 6: to see me. I haven't seen him for probably about
Speaker 6: twelve months in person.
Speaker 4: So since you hold.
Speaker 6: Corona Goo, yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. So if
Speaker 6: there's any last advice that anyone wants me to do,
Speaker 6: I think it's a pretty straightforward project this morning.
Speaker 7: I don't have any advice.
Speaker 4: I haven't done it.
Speaker 1: Said, we should have got one appropriate card for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't get shot basically, yeah, don't get arrested.
Speaker 7: I've never been in this situation ever, So we don't
Speaker 7: have any advice.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, I'm just regretting actually sending in to p I
Speaker 1: didn't know you had this form of annoying him.
Speaker 5: He'll be fine, He'll be absolutely fine.
Speaker 1: All right, Now, what time are you setting off? How
Speaker 1: are you planning this out? Well, I give the perfect
Speaker 1: time to do it. It's pitch black at the moment
Speaker 1: to film any of it. Yeah, mister beast doesn't film
Speaker 1: stuff at like six am.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, the sun the sunrise was coming up
Speaker 6: at six fifty six this morning.
Speaker 5: So I will be down on site suns out. Ben's out.
Speaker 3: That's us The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: Now talking about show marketing.
Speaker 1: Bacon, one of our great engineers here, pitched me an
Speaker 1: idea first in this morning. So Bacon is one of
Speaker 1: the engineers here at Gold at the radio station, and
Speaker 1: he's on a mission at the moment. He wants to
Speaker 1: get in shape. He wants to get fit. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen him recently, he's looking he's
Speaker 1: walking ten k a day. What ten not ten thousand steps?
Speaker 1: Ten k a day, taking about an hour and forty five.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. You go out for walk a long walk,
Speaker 1: you think blood here, you have a quit. Look at
Speaker 1: your steps up. I've only done six hundred meters. It
Speaker 1: feels like I've been walking for ages. My wife is
Speaker 1: a white at the moment, and for this week, and
Speaker 1: you know, I actually just sold my car a couple
Speaker 1: months ago. I bought a new one, and so this
Speaker 1: week up from without a car and so yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I realized I need to get food right for my dinner.
Speaker 1: So I walked with a backpack to the supermarket and
Speaker 1: I thought, normally that's about a four or five minute drive.
Speaker 1: That's probably going to take me like eight minutes to
Speaker 1: walk there.
Speaker 4: Flipping ages.
Speaker 1: And then obviously once I'm loaning up all the gear,
Speaker 1: I thought, I was just singing in the back of
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 4: It's on the.
Speaker 7: Back when you've got six chicken tonight exactly.
Speaker 1: Again, that's just that was just last night's dinner, mixing
Speaker 1: different flavors. Rio Anyway, He's had an idea because he's
Speaker 1: out in the streets all right for two hours, just
Speaker 1: under two hours a day. He said, if you get
Speaker 1: me a sandwich board, I can advertise the show. And
Speaker 1: I said, do you mean he goes, no, no, I'll
Speaker 1: advertise the show. If he saw the numbers yesterday, we
Speaker 1: got to get them back. He's he said he could
Speaker 1: pick a different route each day, and I thought, well, listen,
Speaker 1: if we've got we've got bacon in Melbourne, old mate
Speaker 1: in turn Pete, let's get him on for Sydney. You know,
Speaker 1: we know we need to win the West in Sydney. There,
Speaker 1: we're a new show. We've only been on a couple months.
Speaker 1: In turn, Pete is recognizable from his years We Can't
Speaker 1: and Jack It, people that loved to sing him wandering
Speaker 1: around your community and your neighborhood advertising the show. I
Speaker 1: actually thought, do you know what we should do with him?
Speaker 1: He's someone who do you remember the Avon Ladies? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: door to door Pete? Well, actually intern Pete calling. I
Speaker 1: know that connnges you in a new breakfast show. People
Speaker 1: would love to Pete is one of those people that
Speaker 1: everybody likes Pete.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, even the Prime Minister.
Speaker 4: No, not the Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: That's the only person in the country who actually does
Speaker 1: not care for him. So yet we need where do
Speaker 1: you even buy sandwich boards? Jimmy always used to see
Speaker 1: people advertising a discount golf cell. I've only ever seen
Speaker 1: I've only ever seen them advertising a discount golf cell.
Speaker 9: I will say, it's never used for high end businesses.
Speaker 9: You don't see you know.
Speaker 4: How dog, Sorry you're saying we're donching Gabana.
Speaker 9: Well, I'd like to maybe maybe put for like a
Speaker 9: more aspirational image for the brand.
Speaker 1: Imagine if you did see one day Prada been advertised
Speaker 1: with the billboard.
Speaker 4: All right, we need to get sandwich boards a sap.
Speaker 3: Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm distracted and supposed to be doing the show,
Speaker 1: but I'm also keeping an eye on who England will
Speaker 1: be playing in the World Cup Final next Monday. At
Speaker 1: the moment, it's a ca night in Spain. Spain two
Speaker 1: nail taken on France. Huge upset if France crashouts. They've
Speaker 1: been a number one favorite, number one ranked team in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 4: I don't know how I'm going.
Speaker 1: To concentrate on doing the show tomorrow, even just being
Speaker 1: distracted by I've got no skin in that game. Really,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm going to be because when
Speaker 1: we start the show might be the start the second half.
Speaker 9: Right, well, yeah, that's gonna be an interesting first out
Speaker 9: of the show.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether I should just watch it in
Speaker 1: a room here and then join the show after seven
Speaker 1: take it. Listen to Pats did you hear that's a
Speaker 1: great idea, Shane's not a semi final on every single
Speaker 1: day now.
Speaker 4: When I was back in.
Speaker 1: The UK two weeks ago, I was watching the games
Speaker 1: in that time zone and the BBC had the coverage
Speaker 1: of a couple of the games, and like the same
Speaker 1: here with various sports. You have a lot of ex
Speaker 1: players who are now doing comms. And the guy you're
Speaker 1: about to hear is Danny Murphy. Donnie Murphy used to
Speaker 1: play for Liverpool.
Speaker 4: Great blab.
Speaker 1: He's now commentating Northern Guy. Very funny bit like Carl Pilkinton.
Speaker 1: And this is him talking about Bob the Cat in
Speaker 1: a breakdown in play after there's a player called Oscar
Speaker 1: Bob and obviously then starts saying, oh, I had a
Speaker 1: cat called Bob.
Speaker 4: You used to have a cat called Bob. The game's
Speaker 4: not that Yeah, he jumped.
Speaker 10: In the back of a Royal mail van and lost him.
Speaker 4: Sad really.
Speaker 1: Anyway, a couple of days later he's back commentating on
Speaker 1: another game and they'd had calls and emails to the
Speaker 1: BBC wanting to know what happened to Bob the cat.
Speaker 1: People weren't concerned. He told the story about your cat Bob.
Speaker 10: Well, surprising Steve. There was a lot of interest, which
Speaker 10: surprised us both. But yeah, he didn't actually die. We
Speaker 10: did get him back six or seven weeks later. Unfortunately,
Speaker 10: he had gone Ferrell and we couldn't reintegra him into
Speaker 10: the home and he ended up living with my friend's
Speaker 10: parents and Preston. Now he is passed away, unfortunately. Thanks
Speaker 10: for all the concern those who have been messaging us.
Speaker 1: All right, p Bob, but it didn't end there. There'd
Speaker 1: be more letters, more complaints. It now goes to one
Speaker 1: of the greatest trilogies ever. It's up there with The Godfather,
Speaker 1: Bob the Cat Part three.
Speaker 4: There's another character, Dammy and I and are that's game Court.
Speaker 4: We had close the story of Bob.
Speaker 3: The Cat, but again the plans have not.
Speaker 4: Stop bleeping, so we must clear this up.
Speaker 1: Some complaints, actually, Fanny about the seemingly hasty decision of
Speaker 1: yours to send Bob the Cat to Press.
Speaker 4: It's been a little bit unfair, a little bit harsh.
Speaker 10: Just to clarify, we did try and settle him back
Speaker 10: into the house, but he started bullying and fighting his
Speaker 10: sister Mary, so we made the decision to give him
Speaker 10: the red card and send him off the road to Press.
Speaker 4: And I think it was the right decision. That was
Speaker 4: between a rock and a hard place. What can I say.
Speaker 1: Sister Mary is a new character in the story.
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell show, Go on podcast.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on the right side of the
Speaker 1: dial list The Christian O'Connell show, Christian Very Easy, Make
Speaker 1: your Own Sad was bored for baking the engineer to
Speaker 1: do his ten kDa to advertise the show, email ply
Speaker 1: word from Bunnings. Okay, Now, much as I love getting
Speaker 1: on the tools, there's someone on this show who is
Speaker 1: actually very good on the tools.
Speaker 4: Producter, Kaitlin. It's our very own Bob the Builder. True.
Speaker 1: Seriously, you'd be easier to mate that, wouldn't you And
Speaker 1: I would not be able to do that, which we
Speaker 1: just haven't matured into men.
Speaker 11: No, definitely, not really.
Speaker 4: I was open for some sort of like the manliest guy.
Speaker 4: I know, no rio.
Speaker 11: I've witnessed too many times over the last four years,
Speaker 11: and I mean from you, Christian. I haven't seen you
Speaker 11: do stuff, which is probably the point.
Speaker 1: It's the best, it's the best. It took me an
Speaker 1: hour a couple of weeks ago to hang a picture.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I would never even try to No.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, deadly this the fear you just have.
Speaker 11: The wrong equipment. It makes it just a lot more
Speaker 11: difficult if you have the right stuff, which I do
Speaker 11: have a lot of the right stuff. It just makes
Speaker 11: it very simple and straightforward.
Speaker 9: You've got spirit level, yes exactly, and didn't have a
Speaker 9: spirit level measure.
Speaker 7: Just eyeballing it, yeah out, just so vibe it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's about right, isn't it.
Speaker 7: You wanted a bit wonky, didn't you?
Speaker 4: The messing? This is what makes it, you know.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's get into this week's three word Wednesday.
Speaker 1: My three word Wednesday is my spiritual awakening. It happened
Speaker 1: at four am this morning. Like I said earlier, wife's
Speaker 1: away this week. She's back tomorrow. And this morning got
Speaker 1: up and it was cold, like really cold, and I
Speaker 1: saw her fleece dressing gown and I thought, do you
Speaker 1: know what I don't I've never had a dressing gown
Speaker 1: as a grown up. My last dressing gown I had
Speaker 1: was as a kid. Okay, I've never had one as
Speaker 1: a grown up.
Speaker 7: I thought, all English people a dressing gown.
Speaker 1: I think you've watching too much downt Now it's not
Speaker 1: a documentary. So anyway I saw it, I thought, do
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm cold? I just need one. I
Speaker 1: put it on. I even put the hood up. I
Speaker 1: went and made a cup of tea, and I felt
Speaker 1: like a different person in a It's like a deep fleece,
Speaker 1: this dressing gown, the hood up, having a cup of tea,
Speaker 1: just a different way.
Speaker 5: To wake up mother's embrace.
Speaker 4: Did it actually feel like that, Mother Mary?
Speaker 5: What's to me?
Speaker 1: Deep fleece, deep plush, gray, shiny, fleecy kind of thing.
Speaker 7: And they're not drafty. That's sort of my concern about.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no no. We got each army's
Speaker 4: on underneath hopefully.
Speaker 1: No no, no, I sleep naked always, you were just
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that. She's got a head of
Speaker 1: a surprise this weekend. When she puts it on, he'd
Speaker 1: be like, who's been sitting in my chair?
Speaker 7: How low does the dressing gown go?
Speaker 4: It's just above ankle?
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway I'm wearing this, I think of bloody hell.
Speaker 1: This is a different way of being in the morning.
Speaker 4: This is nice.
Speaker 1: Even had a shave while I was wearing it as well,
Speaker 1: and it felt felt like.
Speaker 4: A king king like behavior. So I want to shave
Speaker 4: with this. Big. So I'm thinking about getting a dressing gown.
Speaker 7: Huge decision, massive.
Speaker 1: Massive, But I'm only going to take recommendations from men
Speaker 1: because I want to know if they've got a dressing
Speaker 1: gown their love the one they're wearing, they recommend the
Speaker 1: right brand, and I think, really, this is going to
Speaker 1: come down to two things. You're either going to be
Speaker 1: team fleece or team toweling. I'm not interested in toweling.
Speaker 1: What about silk, like a silk sorry, did you just
Speaker 1: your voices break? What about a silk robe?
Speaker 7: Well, that's not.
Speaker 4: Too flimsy, then it's too flimsy.
Speaker 1: And also you've got a high chance of let's just say,
Speaker 1: one of the silk eggs popping out if you're under
Speaker 1: if you're basically wrapped in a plush sort of fleece,
Speaker 1: the cave.
Speaker 4: Door is cutting.
Speaker 7: Sure, yes, it's got a heavy you know, you can't be.
Speaker 1: Going to get the Amazon package and suddenly suddenly there's
Speaker 1: a showering stone based instinct moment, just a wrong package
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to sign for that or take
Speaker 1: that photo.
Speaker 4: That they do.
Speaker 1: So guys, men only, men only recommendations. If you love
Speaker 1: your dressing gown, what am I getting? What is the brand?
Speaker 1: Let me know?
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show, what.
Speaker 4: Is your three word Wednesday, Rhea, what's yours? The heater?
Speaker 7: Grinch? So currently where we are to nine degrees single digits.
Speaker 9: I live in a house from nineteen twenty two with
Speaker 9: insulation that it's almost reverse insulation, like not only is
Speaker 9: there no itulation. When it's cold, it seems to be
Speaker 9: colder than outside. When it's hot, it's hotter than our Yeah,
Speaker 9: and currently it's freezing, and I'm begging my partner.
Speaker 1: It's a cold Wednesday. This week's been cold in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's a really cold, really frosty Boddy, frost in the morning.
Speaker 9: Yes, into your bones, that's sort of cold. And I'm saying,
Speaker 9: can we please please turn on the heater in the
Speaker 9: house just so I can feel my fingertips once more.
Speaker 9: And he won't let me. He's like, no, it's not
Speaker 9: cold enough yet, it's not cold enough. He's wanting to
Speaker 9: do it's actually crazy.
Speaker 7: I don't know what so.
Speaker 1: See, I don't know that's okay. It's a head of
Speaker 1: sentual man, I don't know how it works. So what
Speaker 1: if he's the boss like.
Speaker 4: Us, Yes, oh no, don't do that. That's the plight of.
Speaker 1: Being a straight I am not the one's the boss
Speaker 1: and it ain't it ain't me definitely.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I envy. You guys have two bosses.
Speaker 7: I have no decisions or no boss power whatsoever.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I thought you guys are free range.
Speaker 9: No, no, I know, I put I throw up suggestions
Speaker 9: and he says no, and I go okay, and then.
Speaker 4: So wills the alpha by five. Oh my word, I
Speaker 4: didn't know. This is a revelation.
Speaker 7: I'm one wrong music wrong.
Speaker 1: No, this is for me because now I'm getting to
Speaker 1: hardcore guy talk.
Speaker 4: Guye talk lads only this is your music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no it this is how I go hard, hard
Speaker 1: real talk with guys. For the first ever episode of
Speaker 1: guy Talk, which we're getting into a deep chat about
Speaker 1: dressing gowns. So the first times have grown up. I'm
Speaker 1: going to buy one. I want to know what am
Speaker 1: I getting, Christian, by the way, on the building materials,
Speaker 1: some bunnings for the billboard. Uh, probably cheaper and better
Speaker 1: to go core flute, great ideal for signage. I'd probably
Speaker 1: go a five mil on that one. What do you
Speaker 1: reckon ed, Christian? Have you considered an oudie?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, no way, no way.
Speaker 1: Kids when they come out of the pool or the sea,
Speaker 1: have those not grown ass man.
Speaker 4: Also, I always.
Speaker 1: Think you need to constantly be ready to throw down
Speaker 1: with anyone to protect your ladies honor. I don't think
Speaker 1: you could get into combat with somebody else wearing one of.
Speaker 7: Those they can't punch through.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: By the way, I used to know a friend of
Speaker 1: mine was a professional rugby league player and he also
Speaker 1: playing for England. He was always always in trainers. I
Speaker 1: haven't met him once with coffee and he was on
Speaker 1: his way to a funeral. So he had a black
Speaker 1: suit on with trainers because once he got into fight
Speaker 1: out about and he slipped over because he had dress
Speaker 1: shoes on and he was never ever.
Speaker 4: Going to be in that situation.
Speaker 1: But you're going to be a you go into a funeral,
Speaker 1: He goes, No, there's there's a big rival team going
Speaker 1: to the funeral as well.
Speaker 4: There will be a fight at the way. Your dress upstairs.
Speaker 1: Business downstairs is a scrapping sleeping in trainers. Christian, you've
Speaker 1: got to go to This is from Christian God, the
Speaker 1: King of pajamas, Peter Alexander.
Speaker 4: That's where I brought my partners.
Speaker 1: He loves this one there, Scott Christian Peter Alexander dressing
Speaker 1: gown are the best kids wanting one for Father's Day?
Speaker 1: Fleet and has pockets all that. Gotta have pockets, gotta
Speaker 1: have pockets. Christian, I live in my dressing gown and
Speaker 1: just chat to out where I got it from because
Speaker 1: I've had it since around two thousand. It's from and
Speaker 1: I didn't even know where it was from because I've
Speaker 1: had it for since the year two thousand. Soussan's yeah,
Speaker 1: this goes with that at Suzanne not sure, Christian, Well,
Speaker 1: I've been actually rocking a woman's dressing gown for twenty
Speaker 1: six years.
Speaker 4: But it's incredibly comfortable, very progressive.
Speaker 1: Christian, go, you can buy the dressing gowns from the
Speaker 1: Crown at the Crown Shop.
Speaker 7: Now, that is a great hack.
Speaker 1: Wow, Christian, my mom is Scottish. She calls it a housecoat,
Speaker 1: not a dressing gown. I love that, Shane.
Speaker 4: That's Berieniant.

Speaker 1: dressing gowns to it's for Father's Day. Oh yeah, the
Speaker 1: dad gown. Yes, let's do a deal. What do you
Speaker 1: call it a collab? As the kids called it, an

Speaker 1: off this week, Pete is outside Kira Billy House right now.
Speaker 1: He's dressed in the yellow jumpsuit, the official gold Well.
Speaker 1: He actually looks like he's come out a Guantanamo Bay
Speaker 1: again for the day.
Speaker 4: Pete, it's actually looking like a beautiful day there.
Speaker 12: It's a cracking nrning, it really is. And I've got
Speaker 12: to say here at Curribilly House, it.
Speaker 13: Is a chaotic little street.
Speaker 12: There's a lot going on here because there's a lot
Speaker 12: of building.
Speaker 13: Renovations going on around me as well.
Speaker 4: And aw about having some work done. Is about having
Speaker 4: a bit of reno.
Speaker 9: Is it?
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well let's see the tax dolls are being paid
Speaker 13: for that.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Well he went out to see Trump, didn't a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, so he's probably putting.
Speaker 4: A ballroom there.
Speaker 12: Yees.
Speaker 13: Hand of a said, so look what's going on here
Speaker 13: is there was an unexpected.
Speaker 12: Bin night last night. We've been held up by garbos
Speaker 12: this morning, so we will only just manage to get
Speaker 12: a park. So I'm just about one hundred meters from
Speaker 12: the front entrance of Kuberley House. But I just wanted
Speaker 12: to let you know this is pretty big news. He
Speaker 12: has bins out the front of his house, so this
Speaker 12: is great news for the Prime Minister. Obviously at least
Speaker 12: we know he's got the bin, so that's one part
Speaker 12: of the job.
Speaker 13: Done. I am also carrying a brand new bin for
Speaker 13: him with the pre stickers as well, and I've got
Speaker 13: some extra stickers, which is just fantastic.
Speaker 1: I always think if you're going to drop in on
Speaker 1: a friend, it's always nice to have a gift, isn't it.
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely sorry, I'll just dropped one out of my
Speaker 13: pocket there. Just let me rather that. So we're about
Speaker 13: I won't say fifty meters now. I do want to
Speaker 13: make you aware there is also a high, very high
Speaker 13: police presence around me.
Speaker 4: I have been a stop paper like you, just wandering
Speaker 4: and with nonsense.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know you're right, but I guess this is
Speaker 13: the moment. We're about ten meters away from the front
Speaker 13: entrance here now I from I'm just going to go
Speaker 13: back onto the footpath here for a moment, because obviously
Speaker 13: we just want to make sure we're nice and safe
Speaker 13: and don't get shot and killed dead, which is sine
Speaker 13: probably a bit dramatic of mere you.
Speaker 4: I mean, is it me? Or you sounding really nervous
Speaker 4: all of a sudden.
Speaker 13: Very very very very nervous, very neo. There's a come
Speaker 13: around here.
Speaker 1: Wow, we're looking at this live now we're filming this.
Speaker 1: We'll put it up in a minute. But you are
Speaker 1: literally outside just there's a delivery driver.
Speaker 4: He's got a new Bluetooth speaker for the shower. Can
Speaker 4: someone side for this, yes, so I'll just.
Speaker 13: Say he's just crossing is off now, that won't be
Speaker 13: a moment. So I've just got the police officer, isn't.
Speaker 4: It You know that there's a cure of people trying
Speaker 4: to do stunts.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know. I don't know what this guy.
Speaker 1: This guy is delivery.
Speaker 4: Apparently this has worked for us and in turn.
Speaker 13: Peace I know. Sorry, sorry mate, you get me want
Speaker 13: I'm you're not sure? I pay No problem at all,
Speaker 13: That's fine, we'll go. We'll just yep. Sorry, this is
Speaker 13: unexpected here.
Speaker 9: Is there anything else out there? Maybe Pete that in
Speaker 9: the meantime you could stick.
Speaker 13: But they probably is. We could walk up to the
Speaker 13: back go Actually that's not probably.
Speaker 4: Where the Wins were before.
Speaker 13: So let's just throw race up here really quickly.
Speaker 1: Now Pete is on the move now with his ben
Speaker 1: he's moving at a bit of a sort of pace now,
Speaker 1: almost like a jog on.
Speaker 13: Do you know what. I didn't leave that there because
Speaker 13: I've got a sticker over here.
Speaker 4: So in the middle of the street.
Speaker 13: Yes, Now, I don't want to be intrusive, but if
Speaker 13: I was to have a look through the.
Speaker 1: Pot, that's who's been Is that you can't just rummage
Speaker 1: around someone's bens.
Speaker 12: It's if you can't do that.
Speaker 4: I don't think you.
Speaker 1: Can just rummage around someone's bins.
Speaker 13: I am going to port.
Speaker 4: No, but that is outside.
Speaker 13: I'm so sorry it's turned Pete.
Speaker 12: Don't sorry. I'm live on the air with Christian o'con.
Speaker 12: I'm sorry.
Speaker 13: I've told not to mention his name.
Speaker 12: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 13: I know that's been there.
Speaker 1: You're not going to stick anything over well, I've got
Speaker 1: a permission.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't be doing that.
Speaker 13: Could I pretty please just pop.
Speaker 4: It on to.
Speaker 1: Ask the office if he would put it on his
Speaker 1: own being though and promote the show?
Speaker 13: Officer, Could I ask you a quick questions? That's okay?
Speaker 13: If I gave you this to take home, would you
Speaker 13: put it on your on your police here? Can I
Speaker 13: here you going to them?
Speaker 8: You're quite free to send it to this federal police, and.
Speaker 13: Especially to strain federal police. Yip, okay's perfect.
Speaker 1: What's two police officers? They won't need two to take
Speaker 1: him down?
Speaker 13: And you're you're not smiling. I think, Pete, how I
Speaker 13: am good?
Speaker 4: In like he's Beyonce or something. They're going to know
Speaker 4: who he is.
Speaker 13: Okay to move on?
Speaker 1: Thank them, and haven't I say thank that for the
Speaker 1: great work they're doing the democracy public place.
Speaker 13: But the other officer isn't smiling so much, so I
Speaker 13: just feel like that's.
Speaker 4: More of a slarly.
Speaker 13: So I'm just bean stickers. The other officer was asking me,
Speaker 13: he's we've got bean stickers from the Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 12: He's a bit more serious.
Speaker 4: From they're approaching the cameraman.
Speaker 3: Now Christian Connall Show podcast.
Speaker 1: As crossed about Now Live to intern Pete, who suspend
Speaker 1: the last color minutes being interviewed by the AFP outside
Speaker 1: Kiribilly House, who wanted his I d.
Speaker 4: Good morning. You're still there in the back of a
Speaker 4: divvy van.
Speaker 13: No, we are all good. There's a couple of things
Speaker 13: that have happened behind the scenes, and I just want
Speaker 13: a bit of a confirmation from you.
Speaker 12: Christian, if that's okay.
Speaker 13: I have told the police that I will not be
Speaker 13: visiting and there will be no more crazy stunts.
Speaker 12: Today was a question I was.
Speaker 1: Asked, absolutely not. We're done wacky Wednesdays now over.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's great, that's awesome.
Speaker 8: That will love.
Speaker 13: I'll be honest with you. I want a big shadowt
Speaker 13: to Officer Chris who listens to the show from the
Speaker 13: Federal Police and requested a being sticker lay them. So
Speaker 13: the Federal Police now have a bemsticker, which is just fantastic.
Speaker 13: And then we are vacating Curabilly and look to be fair.
Speaker 1: Another way that he just went very politely but firmly.
Speaker 1: He just said, when you went I just had to
Speaker 1: put a sticker on the bench and went, you don't
Speaker 1: want to be doing that. I have another There was
Speaker 1: about five or six suddenly there very quickly and.
Speaker 12: Paint this picture for me.
Speaker 13: And one of the other officers said to me, he said, look,
Speaker 13: I'll be honest with you. In some pete bringing a
Speaker 13: bin to the Prime Minister's house isn't a great look.
Speaker 13: So there's some learning.
Speaker 4: Enough.
Speaker 7: I see that now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on reflection, it was just like, what will we think. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're not just going to go, oh great, he's been
Speaker 1: looking for a new bench. It was, he's always cleaning
Speaker 1: his ones out of the weekends. We should have you know,
Speaker 1: and that Joy Division T shirt?
Speaker 13: You know, yeah for sure, And I'm looking I think
Speaker 13: we're all fine up until and another learning out of stage.
Speaker 12: Don't go through the Prime Minister's bins. I think that's
Speaker 12: the part.
Speaker 4: That was. I don't know why you did that. I'm
Speaker 4: not sure illegal, but it's just not front when anyone's bins.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I guess I was back to the old thing.
Speaker 1: It's just not a great He could have secret documents
Speaker 1: in there, you know, some memos or something.
Speaker 13: Oh surely, he wonders, maybe you go back and have
Speaker 13: a look at that.
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 1: You gave them You've shaken on a deal there to
Speaker 1: leave them alone for today.
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely right.
Speaker 13: So I'm on my roar back to the studio.
Speaker 12: But hey, the BEM secrets question.
Speaker 4: Well done, well done, well done. Now do color Jackie osen?
Speaker 4: Were all done.
Speaker 3: There, Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that I get actually a letter in next
Speaker 1: couple of days from the AFP thanking me for testing
Speaker 1: the protocols.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 7: You might be getting a letter, but I don't think that's.
Speaker 4: What I really I misunderstood this. Sam.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming good morning, Glenn, this is a funny text.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming what made the AFP officers suspicious was a
Speaker 1: fifty year old man claiming to be an intern. Yeah
Speaker 1: he's forty four, but yeah, we heard of the fifty
Speaker 1: year old virgin.
Speaker 4: Now the fifty year.
Speaker 1: Old, which is to start calling him the fifty year
Speaker 1: old intern.
Speaker 4: It is odd. It's Pete the intern, I mean goes
Speaker 4: to grown house man with veneers, you.
Speaker 7: Know, more like a summons.
Speaker 1: I remember when he joined the show. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll we'll drop all that intern stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, he's done that with Cane Jane and I
Speaker 1: got a phone call from three clicks of management up going.
Speaker 8: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: That is branding right now in Australian radio, that he's
Speaker 1: the most famous man in Sydney. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's going to be at least a year for him
Speaker 1: to have that before he can just become Pete.
Speaker 7: Right, that's a trademark.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, absolutely, I didn't know. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It's copyright protected, all right. So there's been a story
Speaker 1: in Tasmania. I don't know if you've seen this. Neil
Speaker 1: the seal nine hundred and ninety nine kilo seal a
Speaker 1: ton of seal.
Speaker 14: From smashing street signs.
Speaker 1: Less cross now to the support who sounds off asleep.
Speaker 1: You know, he's obviously hoping of getting in the metro
Speaker 1: radio and stuff like and taking Patsy's job one day
Speaker 1: rather than doing on the beach stories in Tasi.
Speaker 14: From smashing street signs, checking roads and causing a commotion,
Speaker 14: Neil the Seal has become a star attraction in Tasmania,
Speaker 14: even if he spends most of his time fast asleep.
Speaker 4: His naughty knocks down stuff and I like doing that too.
Speaker 14: He does a few hops and puffs.
Speaker 1: It's cautious.
Speaker 11: I wonder he's just doing what he wants to do
Speaker 11: and no one really stop him.
Speaker 14: Only in authorities say. It appears Neil has now headed
Speaker 14: out to sea after bringing so much joy during his
Speaker 14: recent stay.
Speaker 4: He's got over two million follow you're kidding.
Speaker 1: He's more popular on social media than the Tasmanian Official
Speaker 1: Tourist Board account. This is all it takes to become
Speaker 1: famous in Tasmania overnight. It's just to shop and bend
Speaker 1: a few traffic bollards and dent to car.
Speaker 7: How do you stop a ton seal.
Speaker 4: If that's what he wants to do, let him do it.
Speaker 7: He's like their own intern peak.
Speaker 1: So now, anyway, with the sad news yesterday or two
Speaker 1: days ago, now about sam Neil, they've renamed him sam
Speaker 1: Neil the Seal, so he has been for the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks Neil the Seal. He's now sam Neil
Speaker 1: the Seal, which is, you know, all the ways you
Speaker 1: can make permanent. Such a great legend, What a great
Speaker 1: way that the memory of the great sam Neil lives
Speaker 1: on sam Neil the Seal because he loved animals so
Speaker 1: much on the farm and the duck side. I actually
Speaker 1: do think he'd be smiling about this news. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the damage it's done in Tasmania, I'm looking for your
Speaker 1: stories about animal damage.
Speaker 4: So I've spoken on.
Speaker 1: The show a couple of times about our big megacat Larry.
Speaker 1: Larry has chewed through the zip and broken it on
Speaker 1: his carry case. So he's got one of those little
Speaker 1: carry case. So when I take an evets, he hates
Speaker 1: going in there all right, And so he must have
Speaker 1: been doing it over several weeks or months in the
Speaker 1: garage during the night because I went to take Evets
Speaker 1: of the Week and he destroyed the zip.
Speaker 4: It's you can't shut him in.
Speaker 7: There like sure shankred m just slowly with a s.
Speaker 4: Yes the Raquel Welsh poster.
Speaker 7: And he's a one thousand kilogrammy He's.
Speaker 1: Actually got a couple more extra kilos el rio after
Speaker 1: Christmas in July. And then the other thing you also
Speaker 1: chewed through in some destroyer is I've got a smoker,
Speaker 1: and the smoker has this reinforced heat proof cable that
Speaker 1: goes to a thermometer that you can leave in the
Speaker 1: brisket while he's smoking it, so it can be in
Speaker 1: there for ten hours and it won't melt. However, it's
Speaker 1: not Larry proof because obviously it had some tallow, some
Speaker 1: beefat that had dripped onto it. Larry licked that and
Speaker 1: then just kept licking and licking and licking, and let
Speaker 1: destroyed a flame proof I don't know, you know those
Speaker 1: phone cables that are in he's chewed through that. Wow,
Speaker 1: to be what, it's unusable. I can't use it, Larry.
Speaker 1: It had brisket juice on it. He couldn't stop. He
Speaker 1: just got juice lust.

Speaker 16: bit of labradoo, do I reckon? He's a weird dog
Speaker 16: that he was totally destructive. And I come home from
Speaker 16: school one day and he literally chewed the tap.
Speaker 8: Off the side of the house and he's doing that
Speaker 8: water thing where the dog's cap. He must have been
Speaker 8: doing it for two hours on the side of the house.
Speaker 8: And then the next week I came home and from school.
Speaker 8: In the backyard was a bit of white lace. I'm
Speaker 8: going that's weird.
Speaker 4: And I looked.
Speaker 16: I looked under the house and he got into mum's
Speaker 16: treasure chest for fifty six wedding dress. Oh no, and

Speaker 2: and he didn't do his poo like he normally does.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I didn't talk ower.
Speaker 1: We all know what you're talking about. The main reason
Speaker 1: you tend them for walk is obviously the mental and
Speaker 1: physical stimulation, but also to go and have a poo.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. And I was going to pop down
Speaker 2: the shops and you know, I said, oh, and he's like,

Speaker 4: That's a great party night.
Speaker 11: You take it in turns and there's one master, which
Speaker 11: was me, And the best thing is you get to
Speaker 11: listen to music.
Speaker 4: Were you anyway?
Speaker 1: The microphonees broke up all right, so we're looking for
Speaker 1: your stories this morning. Of coincidence and chance? What are
Speaker 1: the odds? Kathleen's on the line.
Speaker 18: Good morning Kathleen, Good morning Christian and Crewell. How are
Speaker 18: you all very well?
Speaker 1: Have you had a great week so far? Thank you
Speaker 1: very much for joining us. What's your story, Kathleen?
Speaker 18: Well, I was on holiday in London and I was
Speaker 18: walking through Waterloo Station. I was seventeen at the time,
Speaker 18: in peak time, so so many people. I had my
Speaker 18: name being called out. I didn't think it was for me,
Speaker 18: but I turned anyway because it was my name, and
Speaker 18: it turned out to be for me. It was a
Speaker 18: family of four, mom, dad, and their two adult children.
Speaker 18: I knew three of them from three different places. I
Speaker 18: had no idea they were even related to each other.
Speaker 1: No, wow, now this is an other incredible story.
Speaker 7: How did you know or very where'd you know them from?
Speaker 18: I didn't know the father. I knew the mother. She
Speaker 18: was the science assistant at my high school, without whom
Speaker 18: the whole department would have fallen apart. The eldest, the
Speaker 18: son was my first ever tuba teacher, uh huh, and
Speaker 18: the daughter used to play in our band to help
Speaker 18: out during competitions.
Speaker 7: Amazing.
Speaker 4: It's good to get the whole tree.
Speaker 1: There's schedule. We have time for that, Kathleen, thank you
Speaker 1: very much, and give us a call mate. We send
Speaker 1: you prize.
Speaker 18: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: Now two weeks ago, I'm in London. Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. I was back hover se
Speaker 1: my mom and dad. Then I went to see London.
Speaker 1: I was going to meet my cousin and one of
Speaker 1: my closest friends were going to watch the England game
Speaker 1: together when they took on Dr Congo and I was.
Speaker 4: Going to be watching it in the London pub. I
Speaker 4: was so excited.
Speaker 1: Not the early hours of the morning the other side
Speaker 1: of the world, but in London. I get to a
Speaker 1: pub a bit earlier to find a random pub in Soho.
Speaker 1: I taxed my cousin, Wayne go, I'm in this pub,
Speaker 1: the crown and two chairmen. They've got the game on.
Speaker 1: I've got a table next to the bar and with
Speaker 1: a great viewing spot of the screen.
Speaker 4: It's all good. I'm waiting for my cousin.
Speaker 1: I'm having my beer in walks and a guy we
Speaker 1: both look at each other. I go Nick, he goes Christian.
Speaker 1: I met this guy three years ago on a walking
Speaker 1: tour on the West coast of Ireland.
Speaker 4: We hung out for the week. He just happened to
Speaker 4: be there. I was there.
Speaker 1: There was a group of twenty five strangers from all
Speaker 1: over the world. Nick and I hit it off and
Speaker 1: we became very close that week.
Speaker 4: We still kept in touch.
Speaker 1: Randomly, I just picked a pub at random in London
Speaker 1: that had the game on. Nick just happens to be
Speaker 1: randomly looking for a pub to watch the game.
Speaker 7: It was meant to be.
Speaker 1: It was meant to be reunited three years later in
Speaker 1: a random pub in Soho.
Speaker 7: And it felt so good.
Speaker 4: It felt real good.
Speaker 1: And I said, hey, why don't we get some QR
Speaker 1: codes here and really elevate this nice with a pop
Speaker 1: with a pop quiz which is which is it?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have another drink. Actually, Rio, what is your story?
Speaker 1: You said, You've got a real great one.
Speaker 9: We were in Santorini over the break well there for
Speaker 9: three nights, so relatable.
Speaker 7: There were many Australians in Santorini. Let me tell you that.
Speaker 9: Okay, well we were in the our honeymoon suite. Maybe
Speaker 9: not as relatable.
Speaker 7: With Caviar and shadow.
Speaker 1: The spot for management is like salary too much if
Speaker 1: they can afford the honeymoon suite at Santorinio. And of
Speaker 1: course that was a YMCA, wasn't it. The honeymoon sweet
Speaker 1: just meant you had your own on suite.
Speaker 7: We looked down from our patio onto a footpath.
Speaker 9: The first night we see this Aussie couple having a
Speaker 9: massive fight looking out into the ocean.
Speaker 7: They have this huge fight.
Speaker 4: You can take the Australian.
Speaker 7: The next night we're sitting there, the sun's going down.
Speaker 9: In that exact same spot in the footpath, there's this
Speaker 9: Russian couple, a guy staring out into the ocean and
Speaker 9: his wife screaming at him. He's not responding, he's just
Speaker 9: staring out and she's yelling at him.
Speaker 7: What is with this spot?
Speaker 4: What's going on now? It's ral corner.
Speaker 7: The third night, no fight.
Speaker 9: But as we were leaving on the final day, we're
Speaker 9: walking out onto the footpath there is an English couple
Speaker 9: having a fight in that exact same spot on the footpath.
Speaker 7: Believe that is a good story.
Speaker 4: That is that's today's QL code, my friend.
Speaker 3: It's the Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 1: Go on podcast two weeks time, two weeks today, Big
Speaker 1: day for me, Super excited, the book that I've been
Speaker 1: working on for the last couple of years finally comes
Speaker 1: out on the twenty ninth of July. Is called Unscript
Speaker 1: The Radical Act of Being Yourself, and I'm having a
Speaker 1: first ever. This is the fifth book I've written, and
Speaker 1: I've been asked before to have book launch parties and
Speaker 1: I've always said no, I haven't felt like it was
Speaker 1: the I don't know, this wouldn't really it didn't really
Speaker 1: appeal to me. But this time There's Radio Station is
Speaker 1: doing a lovely thing for me. They're throwing me a
Speaker 1: book launch party, which is a really kind thing to do,
Speaker 1: and we're inviting you. So starting tomorrow we'll start to
Speaker 1: give away invites about eight of you can be. There's
Speaker 1: going to be in Melbourne and then next month I
Speaker 1: will do one in Sydney. But the first one is
Speaker 1: going to be on Monday, the twenty seventh of July.
Speaker 1: We going to a beautiful venue as well three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty degree views of the city as well. And
Speaker 1: Rio is actually one of the In fact, you're the
Speaker 1: first person on the team to read the book. I
Speaker 1: mean obviously you were. You had a long train of long,
Speaker 1: long flights. You started reading the book.
Speaker 7: Yes, I've almost finished, mate, it is. It is so brilliant.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you.
Speaker 9: It is not a book about even though it's obviously
Speaker 9: a book about conversations, it's not a book about, you know,
Speaker 9: being a brilliant radio host or being you know, a
Speaker 9: great broadcaster.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I wouldn't go to write that way. Got
Speaker 1: a time wrong an hour ago, and I've been doing
Speaker 1: it twenty eight years. I mean, who screws that up?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 1: It's about, hopefully you'll get in the sense of what
Speaker 1: it's about. It's about the joy of connection, storytelling, what's
Speaker 1: happening moment as we're drifting apart from each other, the
Speaker 1: damage of that. And my aim for the book really
Speaker 1: is that halfway through it you get excited about having
Speaker 1: conversations in an easier way with people.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and so much of the book is about getting
Speaker 9: out of your own way. It's not about adding more
Speaker 9: things onto your plate or things to do.
Speaker 7: It's actually taking things off.
Speaker 9: Your plate, getting out of your own way and being
Speaker 9: able to have better conversations, better connections, better relationships.
Speaker 7: I actually noticed it helping me.
Speaker 9: I got a haircut on Sunday and I was, you know,
Speaker 9: thinking about the book, and you know the way you
Speaker 9: engage with people. I had the best chat I've had
Speaker 9: with someone in such a long time.
Speaker 4: That's exactly the impact I want from it. I haven't.
Speaker 1: I was telling my wife and kids yesterday because they
Speaker 1: were going it is rio enjoying it. I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you came in Monday and was talking about it, and
Speaker 1: I said, the thing that I can't stop thinking about
Speaker 1: is you said you were surprised how vulnerable and personally.
Speaker 4: Is I mean, I've put everything into that book.
Speaker 7: Yes, oh like, because it really is.
Speaker 9: You know, the way that you see the world, it's awesome,
Speaker 9: very you know, some very personal and vulnerable moments that
Speaker 9: you I've chosen to.
Speaker 7: Share with everyone. And Julie, I was reading and I
Speaker 7: was so proud of you.
Speaker 9: I was like, wow, I don't know if I would
Speaker 9: have the courage to put this out into the world.
Speaker 9: And the fact that you've done it and it's in
Speaker 9: print and it's brilliant, it's so wise, it's got so
Speaker 9: much heart to it. I think anyone, no matter who
Speaker 9: you are, no matter what your job is, no matter
Speaker 9: what point in your life.
Speaker 4: You're a lovely thing to say. I think, thank you.
Speaker 7: They'll get so much out of it. I'm so excited
Speaker 7: for this to.
Speaker 4: Be in the world. I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 4: It's a book.
Speaker 1: Actually, you write at a certain age. I'm fifty three,
Speaker 1: and that's why I wanted to write this book. It's
Speaker 1: like I started to think about doing this when I
Speaker 1: was interviewing Jerry Seinfeld a couple years ago. He bought
Speaker 1: a book out for the first time, his own book,
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of his routines, and midway
Speaker 1: through the interview, I suddenly realized, I think he's right
Speaker 1: this because he's of a certain age and he wants
Speaker 1: to leave something behind of permanence about what did you do,
Speaker 1: what did you learn? What did you with your time here?
Speaker 1: And so I've been lucky to do this incredible job
Speaker 1: for twenty eight years now in two different countries, do
Speaker 1: different parts of the world, and I've learned so much
Speaker 1: about connection, storytelling and speaking out Like, what a lovely
Speaker 1: thing just to write that down. My daughters will want
Speaker 1: to read it as well. What a lovely thing to have.
Speaker 1: This is what I've been lucky enough to learn and
Speaker 1: to pass on to people. I felt like it was
Speaker 1: the responsibility.
Speaker 9: It is if it really comes through like that, and
Speaker 9: I think I think the impact is going to have
Speaker 9: on people.
Speaker 1: You seem almost surprised that it was wise. One of
Speaker 1: my daughters read a chapter. I went, well, it's really
Speaker 1: surprisingly wise and that I sat, went what do you mean?
Speaker 1: And she really she'd upset me and she went, well, no,
Speaker 1: no, I mean, I mean, I guess you would have wisdom
Speaker 1: you're fifty three.
Speaker 4: But I think you're saying we haven't. We don't see
Speaker 4: a lot of it. But the book you is hidden
Speaker 4: in there is a wise man.
Speaker 9: We spend half an hour at every day doing like
Speaker 9: monkey bands or something like that. Yes, I mean no,
Speaker 9: there was a little bit surprising how deep and sage
Speaker 9: the wisdom was, but it is there.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the book, so you
Speaker 1: can pre order it still for another two weeks a
Speaker 1: book topyo on Amazon or Demi's going to be wing
Speaker 1: to pre order it and everyone is pre ordering. It's

Speaker 1: a glass of wine and Rio is going to be

Speaker 1: I want to do the Q and A? And out
Speaker 1: of everyone I've worked with in my career, you are
Speaker 1: someone who I've seen go from joining this team. I
Speaker 1: hired you when you had no radio experience. You were
Speaker 1: hired to write a copy for social media posts. It
Speaker 1: was very clear when you lied that you were listening
Speaker 1: to the show, you hadn't heard a single show. But
Speaker 1: I just love this guy swagger and the audacity to
Speaker 1: lie to my face. But this guy's got the core
Speaker 1: skills that you need to carve out a career and
Speaker 1: breakfast radio. And I've seen your journey to now being
Speaker 1: with me front and center on the show from where
Speaker 1: you were six or seven years ago. You're someone actually
Speaker 1: living proof about what happens when you do start to
Speaker 1: move closer to the true version of yourself and what
Speaker 1: the book is talking about.
Speaker 9: Unscript Definitely, Matam, I'm truly honored to be there for
Speaker 9: that night and to be you know, part of the
Speaker 9: Q and A. And for me like coming through the
Speaker 9: show all of these things that I've learnt from you
