1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: This woman, she was in her sixties.

4
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 3: Her husband had passed away a couple of years ago,

5
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 3: and they both listened to the show a lot. So

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 3: she I took her whole family out for a curry

7
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: and then went to karaoke. We didn't get a bed

8
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 3: about three in the morning. It was amazing, though I

9
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: accidentally broke a window there in the spare room. So anyway,

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 3: we're doing this DJs and pjs. We did it every

11
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: year and then on one year someone called in and

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: they said, come and stay at mine. And I was

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: chatting to her, like, you got kids, her husband and boyfriend.

14
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: She goes, now, I live by myself, and I said,

15
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: on there, we can't do this. It's not it's not

16
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: actually appropriate two guys to stay there, right, So anyway,

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: she sent me an emails saying it's very patronizing. It's

18
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: not like I'm just going to throw throw yourself at

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 3: you and Richie, so I said, look, why didn't you

20
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 3: if you're fine, just coming on the show and watch

21
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: the show. So I invited him on the show. A

22
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: couple of months later, Richie said, I need to we

23
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: need to go and have a chat. And so I'm like,

24
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: oh god, I said, you haven't been. You haven't been,

25
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: you haven't been with the listeners again he went kind

26
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: of went god.

27
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Mad, there's fifty three million people in the country. Leave

28
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: our listeners alone. We're losing listeners. We're losing listeners. What happened?

29
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I said, who is there anyone I know? Goes, yeah,

30
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: you've met. I went not the one where I said

31
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: we wouldn't. They can't come round because they'd been appropriate.

32
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: What happened? He goes, well, when you went to the toilet,

33
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: we saw phone numbers. Went oh my god.

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: In the studio, Yeah, anyway, they felt. He said, this

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: is serious. I think this is the one and they

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: are lovely couple. They got married and they've got a

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: beautiful kid, now Rocco who's like five.

00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: And yeah, yes, what a story.

39
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: I love the idea of like how did you meet

00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 2: your partner?

41
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: First question to asking a couple if you were out

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: for them or anyone people love to I'd love to

43
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: do some like DJs and PJS again, however, oh Jack,

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: oh mate, it's not because we were and sometimes I

45
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: remember we did it with one They won't be listening anymore.

46
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: But we went round to one family house and it

47
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: was a it.

48
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Was a nightmare. What do you mean, well, I said,

Speaker 1: we're Richie worked out in the evening.

Speaker 3: just a nightmare, and they were just they were just

53
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: she didn't know much about the show. His wife didn't

54
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: listen to the show, and we didn't know this, so

55
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: it obviously been an argument. So straight away it was

56
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: just an awful situation, right, and they were starting to bicker.

57
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 3: So rich and I live We said, we look, we're

58
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: really tired. You know, we take the show really seriously.

59
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: I know sometimes we act like we don't. We'll be

60
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: doing so we need to be in bed by like

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: eight half eight. So all right, okay, we go back

62

Speaker 3: to theirs and they were upstairs and we.

63
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: Were down, says.

64
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: We snuck out and went to a pub three hours

65
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: down the road. Had a great night's rich and I. Ah,

66
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: so anyway, because two and a half million people used

67
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: to listen to that show. Next morning, we're going a

68
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: great night. Someone called the show, so I saw.

69
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: That they snitches.

70
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: They were like naming the pub, and the couple were

71
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: like that, it's down the road, We're not there, don't know,

72
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: you were definitely there.

73
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: That ended. That ended.

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: I'd love to do it again though, because actually for

75
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: most and then we would do the show live from

76
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: there the next day, and I just love being in

77
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: their homes and mean part of their lives. It was

78
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: such It was always like towards the end of the year,

79
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: you know, when you've done the show for the year,

80
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: the last one is just are fun and doing it

81
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: for someone that really likes the show.

82
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: It's a great prize.

83
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: And I liked actually generally going out with them the

84
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: night before just finding out.

85
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know if I could drag jack

86
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Al onto that.

87
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: So my suggestion is then maybe we just do the

88
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: one and then we could really ramp him up just

89
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: to do the one, and Patty would help, like bring

90
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: her along because she would lift the spirits, and then

91
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: we just do it with the one night instead of five, because.

92
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: He definitely we didn't do it over a week. You'd

93
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: be exhausted the show because you went out the night before.

94
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: A lot of the after show chats sometimes figuring out

95
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: how it can trick Jack into doing something, but we did.

96
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: We went to Dingley Village for Monica's place and we redid.

97
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: We had a pseudo echo come in and then smashed

98
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: up their kitchen and had it renovated. They did a

99
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: live performance.

100
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: It was awesome.

101
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: We had them in the room in the backyard, we

102
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 4: had all their friends and family. It was an amazing

103
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: vibe and just something. Obviously, it's so different to being

104
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 4: in a radio studio. To be actually in their homes

105
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: where a lot of them are listening is awesome.

106
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to do it. Yeah.

107
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: This is the Christian o'connells Show podcast
