Speaker 1: Christ Do You O'Connell show podcast some of you might
Speaker 1: have heard of the last couple of months and at
Speaker 1: various points last year when we were back in last
Speaker 1: Year and Lockdown that I was writing a book. The
Speaker 1: book is now actually available today for pre order. You
Speaker 1: can see what the front cover looks like. The title
Speaker 1: is no One listens to your Dad's show, which in
Speaker 1: the early dark days of this show, when actually technically
Speaker 1: no one did listen to my daughter's dad show, my show,
Speaker 1: this show. It was something like a thirteen year old
Speaker 1: girl said to one of my daughters in the playground
Speaker 1: the first couple of months of being here, like a
Speaker 1: thirty year old girl, does no one listens to your
Speaker 1: dad's radio show? Huge burn? Yeah? And I thought the
Speaker 1: time it was actually Eddie McGuire, just as a school
Speaker 1: girl too much Eddie, too much the Mine Games. So
Speaker 1: that's the title of the book. It is out now
Speaker 1: for pre order. The book is about why I moved
Speaker 1: here and the first two years, which you know, even
Speaker 1: if you've never moved to the other side of the world.
Speaker 1: But we had no idea when we're moving to a study
Speaker 1: what it would be like. And a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I had dinner with Duncan Is, the man who hired me,
Speaker 1: and I still say to him now, I still don't
Speaker 1: get why you did it. You know, it's such a
Speaker 1: crazy thing to do to bring an English guy out here,
Speaker 1: and I also understand why. And you'll see a lot
Speaker 1: of the most vicious hate mail that was on Facebook
Speaker 1: and on the book. Right, the kids were like they
Speaker 1: had no idea. It was that bad. It's in the book.
Speaker 1: But then what's amazing is you. You went from being no,
Speaker 1: don't like you. I remember on the second of the
Speaker 1: show someone kindly emailed me telling me I was uninvited
Speaker 1: as well on her I got be honest in a
Speaker 1: midle of a show. But the amazing thing is you
Speaker 1: gave me a chance. And this show. Although the book
Speaker 1: is my story and the family story of moving to
Speaker 1: the other side of the world and what that was
Speaker 1: like and going through everything, it's also your story. It's
Speaker 1: about this show because actually this show is made with
Speaker 1: you guys. You know, if you've been listening to Morning,
Speaker 1: you would have Jaked the beekeeper and the bee farmer.
Speaker 1: We've had Ronnie in a strange, mysterious package, and then
Speaker 1: school runnings every single day we make the show with
Speaker 1: you guys, and the amazing thing is about why this
Speaker 1: show is. And the book comes out in June. This
Speaker 1: show is through years old. If it wasn't for you
Speaker 1: guys actually giving me a go and support the show,
Speaker 1: I'd have been sacks by now. I'll be back in
Speaker 1: Plague Island with Boris super leagues to deal with for
Speaker 1: your old job back, begging for my old job back.
Speaker 1: And once you leave, you don't get your old radio
Speaker 1: shows back. So it's strange that my story here and
Speaker 1: even this show carrying on with me, Jack and Patsy,
Speaker 1: it was totally reliant on the kindness of strangers, and
Speaker 1: so it is your story as well. Lots of you
Speaker 1: are in there, lots of your funny stories are in there.
Speaker 1: Jack and Patsy are in there. Peter Logan gets his
Speaker 1: own chapter as well. It's a story about a show
Speaker 1: that you've actually that you make with us every single
Speaker 1: day and you put together. So I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 1: It's available pre order, and then a lot of you'll
Speaker 1: wait until the book's out in a couple of weeks time,
Speaker 1: and I get that. But if you are pre ordering it,
Speaker 1: and if you go to Facebook, you'll see a little
Speaker 1: link will take you through wherever you pre order your books,
Speaker 1: whether it's a book Topia or Dimmicks. If you are
Speaker 1: pre ordering it and you send on an email of
Speaker 1: your receipt, I'm going to pick five of you to
Speaker 1: come in on the show. You can meet the team
Speaker 1: and then I'll take you from breakfast afterwards. So doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: it's my show. The names on your door and you
Speaker 1: replaced Jack and Pat's as well for a show as well.
