Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: This woman, she was in her sixties.
Speaker 3: Her husband had passed away a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: and they both listened to the show a lot. So
Speaker 3: she I took her whole family out for a curry
Speaker 3: and then went to karaoke. We didn't get a bed
Speaker 3: about three in the morning. It was amazing, though I
Speaker 3: accidentally broke a window there in the spare room. So anyway,
Speaker 3: we're doing this DJs and pjs. We did it every
Speaker 3: year and then on one year someone called in and
Speaker 3: they said, come and stay at mine. And I was
Speaker 3: chatting to her, like, you got kids, her husband and boyfriend.
Speaker 3: She goes, now, I live by myself, and I said,
Speaker 3: on there, we can't do this. It's not it's not
Speaker 3: actually appropriate two guys to stay there, right, So anyway,
Speaker 3: she sent me an emails saying it's very patronizing. It's
Speaker 3: not like I'm just going to throw throw yourself at
Speaker 3: you and Richie, so I said, look, why didn't you
Speaker 3: if you're fine, just coming on the show and watch
Speaker 3: the show. So I invited him on the show. A
Speaker 3: couple of months later, Richie said, I need to we
Speaker 3: need to go and have a chat. And so I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh god, I said, you haven't been. You haven't been,
Speaker 3: you haven't been with the listeners again he went kind
Speaker 3: of went god.
Speaker 1: Mad, there's fifty three million people in the country. Leave
Speaker 1: our listeners alone. We're losing listeners. We're losing listeners. What happened?
Speaker 1: I said, who is there anyone I know? Goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've met. I went not the one where I said
Speaker 1: we wouldn't. They can't come round because they'd been appropriate.
Speaker 1: What happened? He goes, well, when you went to the toilet,
Speaker 1: we saw phone numbers. Went oh my god.
Speaker 3: In the studio, Yeah, anyway, they felt. He said, this
Speaker 3: is serious. I think this is the one and they
Speaker 3: are lovely couple. They got married and they've got a
Speaker 3: beautiful kid, now Rocco who's like five.
Speaker 4: And yeah, yes, what a story.
Speaker 2: I love the idea of like how did you meet
Speaker 2: your partner?
Speaker 3: First question to asking a couple if you were out
Speaker 3: for them or anyone people love to I'd love to
Speaker 3: do some like DJs and PJS again, however, oh Jack,
Speaker 3: oh mate, it's not because we were and sometimes I
Speaker 3: remember we did it with one They won't be listening anymore.
Speaker 3: But we went round to one family house and it
Speaker 3: was a it.
Speaker 1: Was a nightmare. What do you mean, well, I said,
Speaker 1: we're Richie worked out in the evening.
Speaker 3: It was a half seven, and Richie went, I can't
Speaker 3: handle this anymore, and I went, can I This is
Speaker 3: just a nightmare, and they were just they were just
Speaker 3: she didn't know much about the show. His wife didn't
Speaker 3: listen to the show, and we didn't know this, so
Speaker 3: it obviously been an argument. So straight away it was
Speaker 3: just an awful situation, right, and they were starting to bicker.
Speaker 3: So rich and I live We said, we look, we're
Speaker 3: really tired. You know, we take the show really seriously.
Speaker 3: I know sometimes we act like we don't. We'll be
Speaker 3: doing so we need to be in bed by like
Speaker 3: eight half eight. So all right, okay, we go back
Speaker 3: to theirs and they were upstairs and we.
Speaker 1: Were down, says.
Speaker 3: We snuck out and went to a pub three hours
Speaker 3: down the road. Had a great night's rich and I. Ah,
Speaker 3: so anyway, because two and a half million people used
Speaker 3: to listen to that show. Next morning, we're going a
Speaker 3: great night. Someone called the show, so I saw.
Speaker 4: That they snitches.
Speaker 3: They were like naming the pub, and the couple were
Speaker 3: like that, it's down the road, We're not there, don't know,
Speaker 3: you were definitely there.
Speaker 1: That ended. That ended.
Speaker 3: I'd love to do it again though, because actually for
Speaker 3: most and then we would do the show live from
Speaker 3: there the next day, and I just love being in
Speaker 3: their homes and mean part of their lives. It was
Speaker 3: such It was always like towards the end of the year,
Speaker 3: you know, when you've done the show for the year,
Speaker 3: the last one is just are fun and doing it
Speaker 3: for someone that really likes the show.
Speaker 1: It's a great prize.
Speaker 3: And I liked actually generally going out with them the
Speaker 3: night before just finding out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know if I could drag jack
Speaker 1: Al onto that.
Speaker 2: So my suggestion is then maybe we just do the
Speaker 2: one and then we could really ramp him up just
Speaker 2: to do the one, and Patty would help, like bring
Speaker 2: her along because she would lift the spirits, and then
Speaker 2: we just do it with the one night instead of five, because.
Speaker 3: He definitely we didn't do it over a week. You'd
Speaker 3: be exhausted the show because you went out the night before.
Speaker 4: A lot of the after show chats sometimes figuring out
Speaker 4: how it can trick Jack into doing something, but we did.
Speaker 4: We went to Dingley Village for Monica's place and we redid.
Speaker 4: We had a pseudo echo come in and then smashed
Speaker 4: up their kitchen and had it renovated. They did a
Speaker 4: live performance.
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
Speaker 4: We had them in the room in the backyard, we
Speaker 4: had all their friends and family. It was an amazing
Speaker 4: vibe and just something. Obviously, it's so different to being
Speaker 4: in a radio studio. To be actually in their homes
Speaker 4: where a lot of them are listening is awesome.
Speaker 1: I'd love to do it. Yeah.
