Speaker 4: Oh brilliantvoid business right, And I thought, I'll just have
Speaker 4: a nibble on those and then we'll get dinner underway.
Speaker 4: Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 1: It'll be good.
Speaker 4: But I was banished from the lounge room because apparently
Speaker 4: I was eating too loud.
Speaker 1: Go figure, let's playback. Oh my goodness, that's so loud.
Speaker 1: Someone standing on gloves in a tense moment like this
Speaker 1: worre thing at the cinema. Is someone just over to
Speaker 1: your left shoulder doing Oh you have to do it
Speaker 1: because I don't just wait, pump it into your crisps.
Speaker 1: Then it's not unwrapping the wrappers slowly, But that makes
Speaker 1: it worse his torture. Get on with it. It's impressive
Speaker 1: you're able to eat that loudly?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: That wouldn't say it's impressive. I would say it's iggressive.
Speaker 4: Driving Chris insane, and he snatched the box and he said, sorry,
Speaker 4: you're going to have to like either go in another
Speaker 4: room and eat those or not eat and watch. So
Speaker 4: into another room now.
Speaker 1: But just ken, and you've heard the audio. You don't
Speaker 1: think it is the biscuit?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I heard it last night and that does
Speaker 6: not sound like a Safoy crunch.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, it's a Savoy biscuits.
Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
Speaker 6: It sounds like a Smith's cheap or something thinner.
Speaker 1: No, no, I think you are. In my mind, I had
Speaker 1: like a chicken flavors, the smith's cris the corrugated sort
Speaker 1: of wavy one. Are they they're louder?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I think I think you're trying to
Speaker 1: sort of hire since bouquet up pretend too common having
Speaker 1: the smith's crisp.
Speaker 4: Can I say, shopping day is Friday? There is no
Speaker 4: way that there are still chips left in our pantry
Speaker 4: by a Tuesday. Not last that long.
Speaker 1: The biscuit you're saying this is savoy. The Savoy is
Speaker 1: a softer. It's delicate, but I don't think it's as
Speaker 1: crunch as this. That's a proper chip. It's just crisp. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's that is too thin. What's been broken there? And
Speaker 1: the savoy has a greater density.
Speaker 5: I would say three or four pringles stacked together.
Speaker 1: Actually my sour cream. Listen, yeah, okay, yeah, sour cream, yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: So Matt, what do you think it is?
Speaker 6: I think it's a Smith Chip crunchy one.
Speaker 1: What we're playing here is a kind of snack Chazam. Listens,
Speaker 1: what do you think that is?
Speaker 3: Christian O'Connell show go On podcast.
Speaker 1: We're about to talking about memories that have a smell.
Speaker 1: These are called smellaries. Before that, though, Patsy was just
Speaker 1: telling us about last night. She's just finished season four
Speaker 1: or Stranger Things ahead of the big season five one
Speaker 1: that drops at the end of November than over Christmas,
Speaker 1: and she was saying that this was a savoy that
Speaker 1: she's crunching. Real Now there's some consternation amongst a team
Speaker 1: that Actually, Producer, Kaitlin, you don't believe that is the savoy.
Speaker 6: It's just not the sound of savoy. That's the sound
Speaker 6: of a Smith chip crunching. It's so thin sounding.
Speaker 1: Christian, I'm hearing this. I'm hearing one hundred percent of dorito,
Speaker 1: you'll get the combined hard and crunchy and then the
Speaker 1: soft air pocket in one chip. I know this crunch.
Speaker 1: I felt this crunch. This is the crunch we hadn't
Speaker 1: thought about the whole dorito. Is this a dorito now?
Speaker 1: Air pocket? Yes, air pocket, that sharp triangular. It's the
Speaker 1: crisp toblerone. Isn't it be careful not to get at
Speaker 1: wedged at the palette the top of here like a toberone?
Speaker 5: And would you normally just eat savoys by themselves to dryhmember.
Speaker 4: The savoy has little air pockets throughout it, like tiny
Speaker 4: little pin pricks through the biscuit.
Speaker 1: True, good counterpoint there, Christian, I with Patsy. It's definitely
Speaker 1: one hundred percent a savoy. Yes, they're hard, they're crunchy,
Speaker 1: dry as a bone also, which is why I'm suspencing.
Speaker 1: It definitely is found in every Bogan household. How very jaious,
Speaker 1: how very rude for a cheap cheese board. I hate
Speaker 1: that map.
Speaker 2: It could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Logan out of your mouth. No, no, no, no, all right.
Speaker 1: Let's move on then to smells with a memory partic kating.
Speaker 1: It's daveled off cool water for you? Is that right?
Speaker 4: Without a doubt.
Speaker 2: It's just my.
Speaker 1: Teen year I used to smear myself and this stuff,
Speaker 1: go out looking for a girlfriend. Reacon of it like

Speaker 1: that one. I didn't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 1: nudgine that way. You know, it's not it's not for me,
Speaker 1: but anyway level.

Speaker 1: rugged guy like you, like me and our friend Klee.
Speaker 1: To be honest, you know, just confused. She's rugged, she's rugged,
Speaker 1: she's rugged. We'll agree with rugged. I'll tell you what though,
Speaker 1: I still love that that smell. I don't buy it anymore.
Speaker 1: But when I'm at an airport and you know you've
Speaker 1: got some time to kill and go and wander around
Speaker 1: those old school sets, they're still there, aren't they.
Speaker 2: In the little cardboard.

Speaker 1: So we're asking what's the smellary for you rain on
Speaker 1: a hot road takes you straight back to being a kid.
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Al. The smell of sawdust
Speaker 1: reminds me of ours spending my grandfather's shed making wooden
Speaker 1: models of boats. And what is this kind of Steven
Speaker 1: Spielberg childhood you have? It's not mine. If I wasn't
Speaker 1: in my grandfather's shed, he would have locked me in there,
Speaker 1: but not with him.
Speaker 4: You know what else sawdust makes me think of is
Speaker 4: the butcher shop as a kid, because butcher shops here,
Speaker 4: they used to have sawdust on the floor.
Speaker 1: Ah, right, for what when they spilt the blood?
Speaker 4: Well I guess it was, but yeah, it was just what.
Speaker 2: A sexy frame?
Speaker 1: Really heavy live you know. Toby fireplaces makes me spell
Speaker 1: like my grandparents' house, Burnt toast, smelly, gel pans, smelly,
Speaker 1: what's that strawberry shortcake dolls? It takes me straight back
Speaker 1: to primary school. The smell of freshly cut grass. Darryl
Speaker 1: Lee shops, they smelled so good. This one, No, I know,
Speaker 1: this one came through a lot. Actually yeah, but I
Speaker 1: would say one of the top two ones I got
Speaker 1: was the Darrell Lee shops. They smelled so very distinctive.
Speaker 1: Smells the story now and a lot of love for
Speaker 1: the purple printer ink from worksheets in the eighties.
Speaker 3: Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Today, second of July is exactly the midpoint of this year.
Speaker 1: If we're on a sea saw perfectly balanced.
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty third day of the year.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is amazing, isn't it. We are in the
Speaker 1: midpoint of this year twenty twenty five. Last week on
Speaker 1: Wednesday we were talking about we see Wednesday as the
Speaker 1: kind of like it saw. It's halftime. Look back at
Speaker 1: the first half. You have you let a few in,
Speaker 1: you're winning or losing. Tip the defence, come on the attack, Okay,
Speaker 1: part of the bus. Just God, it's been a good
Speaker 1: week so far. Can now free will for the rest
Speaker 1: of this week. I've done the task I want to do.
Speaker 1: I've actually ticked off more than one thing on my
Speaker 1: to do list. So actually today I urge everyone, and
Speaker 1: it might not be you might be on your way
Speaker 1: to work right now, spend a little bit of time,
Speaker 1: right I know you busy lies, but I think you'll
Speaker 1: get something out of this. I started to do it
Speaker 1: last night, just for ten minutes. I actually found it
Speaker 1: really good. And I was talking to my wife and kids. Now,
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days, we're all going to
Speaker 1: do it and talk about how our year has gone
Speaker 1: so far. Love that, and then how we feel about
Speaker 1: the next half of the year, because you still got
Speaker 1: time to change things and stuff like that. You know,
Speaker 1: new intentions, you might want to see some new things anyway.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking last night, like my year so
Speaker 1: far twenty twenty five, I think our lives are a
Speaker 1: lot like seasons. And sometimes when you think about it,
Speaker 1: you can probably tell me what's seasoning right now. And
Speaker 1: I don't mean the season and where we are right
Speaker 1: now winter. I mean actually for you in your life
Speaker 1: right now, you could be in a summer. You could
Speaker 1: be in a spring, you could autumn. I actually could
Speaker 1: be a winter in your life. I would say for
Speaker 1: a lot of this year, it's been a winter. It's
Speaker 1: been still I would say. The overall theme for me
Speaker 1: and my wife has been letting go. Yeah, youngest daughter
Speaker 1: left home in February, and then even Jack Post leaving
Speaker 1: the show as well. That's all this departure, letting go
Speaker 1: actually of old stories, old identities, and then a really
Speaker 1: big one I've known. It's spoken about the show yet
Speaker 1: because it wasn't confirmed. To the end of last week.
Speaker 1: We sold our family home.
Speaker 4: Oh you've saw that.
Speaker 1: We're sold. That is huge And it's very strange, Patsy,
Speaker 1: because normally when you sell a house, you have someone
Speaker 1: that you're excited about going to. Yeah, we haven't gotten you.
Speaker 2: You're homeless, we're homes Can.
Speaker 1: You guys start pulling me out and share me, you know,
Speaker 1: at school at that pet and you'd have the guinea
Speaker 1: pig for a bit, you know, you've my way this week?
Speaker 2: Well, actually, Will and I am looking for a place
Speaker 2: maybe we can swap.
Speaker 1: Okay, this strange thing where like we don't know where
Speaker 1: we're going. We've got a long settlement now, so we've
Speaker 1: got a good couple of months until January, so we've
Speaker 1: got time. We think we're going to rent for a
Speaker 1: year and just work out what we want to do next,
Speaker 1: maybe a new area and stuff like that. But that
Speaker 1: family home, it's been a great home for me. In
Speaker 1: the kids, they've literally grown through their time here and
Speaker 1: they entered preteens and now one of them as eighteen.
Speaker 1: Ruby's about to turn twenty one. She was turning thirteen
Speaker 1: fourteen when we moved into that home, so we and
Speaker 1: then we found out that people buying it, you know,
Speaker 1: and then we do what are the odds? They have
Speaker 1: got two kids and they came around last week. They
Speaker 1: wanted to see the house. We left for half an
Speaker 1: hour for the kids to pick out new bedrooms. Ah,
Speaker 1: the same age as Ruby and Loewe's work when they
Speaker 1: moved into the house.
Speaker 2: As meant to be.
Speaker 4: I remember them doing that. There's this house that you
Speaker 4: just remember. They were fighting over who what room was?
Speaker 1: What? Isn't that a beautiful I saw it like that
Speaker 1: missus O'Connell Burston's tears the car. It's a lot, a lot,
Speaker 1: I will say. So. Yeah, it's been a letting go,
Speaker 1: a kind of what DoD snakes do snakesuit. But now
Speaker 1: do you know what I feel this tremendous newness coming in?
Speaker 2: Yes, I really do.
Speaker 1: An Alex coming into the show. Alex is joining us
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks time. We'll be back from
Speaker 1: our break where we're here for another couple of days
Speaker 1: and we've got a two week break. Alex joined the
Speaker 1: show represents that we will find a new home. Don't
Speaker 1: anyone worrying about us, like why say paining him? I
Speaker 1: thought the show, the station, get him over and now
Speaker 1: he's on the streets and wandering around. Let this hobo,
Speaker 1: we all find someone need to live. But I feel
Speaker 1: there's tremendous new a newness now and it's it's a spring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so second off that year, I feel like a new
Speaker 1: harvest coming in. For the last two years I've been
Speaker 1: struggling with I couldn't get I couldn't get something right
Speaker 1: with a new book I really desperately want to write.
Speaker 1: I kept thinking it was something starting it, starting, it stopping.
Speaker 1: Just in the last five days, I've got it. Let's clicked,
Speaker 1: I've got the golden thread. Now I've got it. And
Speaker 1: also I know what my new coaching course am going
Speaker 1: to launch in August is going to be as well.
Speaker 1: Tired in with what the new book is going to
Speaker 1: be about, so excited. Thanks guys for hearing that. Soria,
Speaker 1: where are you? What's? What's? This has been a big
Speaker 1: year for you, mate. You have stepped in in really
Speaker 1: dramatic circumstances and been tremendous for me, Patsy and this team.
Speaker 1: You've done an amazing job mate, Well done.
Speaker 2: Thanks man. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess it feels like a I guess maybe
Speaker 5: more of a summer for me, like an abspletely new
Speaker 5: season stepping into you know, Jack's old cheer has been great,
Speaker 5: but for me, I guess even the bigger thing for
Speaker 5: me and my family has been just in April, we
Speaker 5: went to South Korea and just for a bit of context,
Speaker 5: and my eldestly to Kimberly she's adopted from South Korea.
Speaker 5: My middle sister, Alex, she's IVF baby, and I was
Speaker 5: very much an accident. My parents obviously didn't think they
Speaker 5: could have kids, and that's when Kimber came along first,
Speaker 5: you know, in nineteen eighty six, and mom and dad
Speaker 5: had sort of given up on having kids and they
Speaker 5: were about to go to Europe when they got a
Speaker 5: call from the adoption agency saying, hey, we've actually got
Speaker 5: a daughter for you. And the woman came over and
Speaker 5: she showed mom the book of a photo of Kimber,
Speaker 5: and Mom and dad always say they said, we knew
Speaker 5: straightaway that this was our daughter and this was a
Speaker 5: beautiful story. Yeah, they just looked into her eyes and
Speaker 5: there and they just knew. And for us Kimber being
Speaker 5: adopted was never a huge deal. It was just more
Speaker 5: of an afterthought really, like a fine little fact. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and now forty years on, it was Kimber's fortieth birthday
Speaker 5: and she sort of had this desire then to go
Speaker 5: over to South Korea and find and au guest look
Speaker 5: start looking for her birth mum, which was a massive
Speaker 5: thing for our family.
Speaker 2: And how are you mum and dad with that?
Speaker 1: Because obviously they are her mom and dad, but there's
Speaker 1: obviously for people that go through that, there must be
Speaker 1: some part of the story that they really feel like
Speaker 1: they want to try and find out.
Speaker 5: Definitely, it's hard to say for Mum and dad have
Speaker 5: been incredible throughout the process.
Speaker 1: I saw them. And also what Rio was talking about
Speaker 1: was on the project about two weeks ago and it's
Speaker 1: about a twelve minute piece. They doing it because actually
Speaker 1: your other sister is a comedian. Yeah, and she did
Speaker 1: the You're all in it And I tell you what
Speaker 1: the project did. Bless the project no longer with us now,
Speaker 1: but they did an amazing job with your family and
Speaker 1: that story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they was.
Speaker 1: I mean I was in tears watching it was and
Speaker 1: your mum and dad what humanity and joy. It just
Speaker 1: shines through your whole family. Actually, but it must have
Speaker 1: been hard for them as well.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 5: I think on some level it was really difficult. But
Speaker 5: Mum has really been the driving force.
Speaker 1: I saw it just like then Rio, because I watched
Speaker 1: it twice. I've had it so moving. Your mom a
Speaker 1: constantly writing and making efforts to try and find out
Speaker 1: more about Kimberly's parents on her behalf without Kimberly even knowing.
Speaker 10: Yes.
Speaker 2: So a couple of things happened.
Speaker 5: One when kimber went to the adoption agency and asked,
Speaker 5: you know, I'd like to find out more. They're actually
Speaker 5: closing down in May. They've closed down now and so
Speaker 5: they said, we're not taking any more appointments.
Speaker 2: So Mum was hounding them and hounding them.
Speaker 1: And call him.
Speaker 5: And actually, Mum's the most determined woman in the world,
Speaker 5: and she actually kind of implied to the adopted agency
Speaker 5: that Mum was dying and.
Speaker 1: She's don't mess with them to go to Korea for it.
Speaker 5: So she, I mean, she's very well versed in the
Speaker 5: guilt trip is Alice.
Speaker 1: It's a power move, use it, Mamaly, So she gives
Speaker 1: she's using her powers for the greater good.
Speaker 3: She is.
Speaker 1: So we all went over there as a f she's dying.
Speaker 2: She said, I'm good, I'm really getting on. I don't
Speaker 2: know how much time.
Speaker 1: I've got work awesome. I mean I don't really do
Speaker 1: true technically, she's right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we all went over with Kimber. Yeah, in April,
Speaker 5: the whole family, even my sister's kids, my nephews, we.
Speaker 2: All went over there.
Speaker 5: We're in this old gray municipal municipal building and yeah,
Speaker 5: this woman, this little Korean lady, comes over and she
Speaker 5: brings this folder, this like big binded folder.
Speaker 1: That's the story of you, or what we know about you.
Speaker 5: It's still it's one of those really surreal outer body
Speaker 5: experiences where you know she I can still see her
Speaker 5: plunking it down on the table in front of us,
Speaker 5: and just the whole world fades away and you're just
Speaker 5: looking at this thing that and it's so administrative and
Speaker 5: like unremarkable, but.
Speaker 2: It holds this whole other life to your sister.
Speaker 5: You've known your whole life, and it's just sitting there
Speaker 5: in front of you.
Speaker 1: What you did? Did you leave her in the room?
Speaker 1: Does she want some time with it alone?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: You're actually not allowed to. They have to supervise every file.
Speaker 5: We're not allowed to take them back. They just have
Speaker 5: to show us. We can take photos. But we all
Speaker 5: just sat there and she took us through it. And
Speaker 5: the most you know, we learned a lot about Kimber's
Speaker 5: mum and that was amazing. But for me, the most
Speaker 5: incredible part was and Mum had totally forgotten she'd done this.
Speaker 5: She'd had every single year written handwritten letters to Kimber's
Speaker 5: birth mum and included all Kimber's school report cards and
Speaker 5: photos and every.
Speaker 1: Year, so she updating just in case she ever wants
Speaker 1: to make contact with her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Mom said, we didn't know she did.
Speaker 1: What a great generous self listening to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Mom says, you know, if she was in
Speaker 5: Kimber's birth mom's position, she would she would know. She
Speaker 5: can't imagine how difficult it would have been for her,
Speaker 5: and she would have wanted to know as much as
Speaker 5: she can. And we didn't know she'd done that, and
Speaker 5: Mum had forgotten as well.
Speaker 2: And so when she pulled this out, I mean that
Speaker 2: destroyed me.
Speaker 1: That was it was like a scene from a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was it was.
Speaker 5: I can't even really put into words because you've just got,
Speaker 5: you know, this sadness.
Speaker 2: For this poor woman, give it up.
Speaker 5: But also it's so grateful because if that didn't happen,
Speaker 5: kimber wouldn't have.
Speaker 2: Been in our lives.
Speaker 5: And then mum writing these beautiful letters and and sadly
Speaker 5: the mum has never made contact with the adoption agency,
Speaker 5: so they've just.
Speaker 1: There's so much trauma and sadness on the other side
Speaker 1: of what was what happened as well.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, and that's and that's all bundled up, and
