0:00:19.685 --> 0:00:27.565
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. This is

0:00:27.565 --> 0:00:30.444
<v Speaker 1>how I'm so excited about that it is happening this Wednesday.

0:00:30.845 --> 0:00:34.205
<v Speaker 1>That's one of our listeners target audience who is ninety

0:00:34.245 --> 0:00:36.765
<v Speaker 1>nine at the moment, but turns get this one hundred

0:00:37.365 --> 0:00:41.044
<v Speaker 1>this Wednesday. So born in nineteen twenty five, Now I

0:00:41.045 --> 0:00:42.925
<v Speaker 1>think about how just how amazing our line is at

0:00:42.925 --> 0:00:45.245
<v Speaker 1>the moment. So, you know, yesterday evening, I'm on a

0:00:45.365 --> 0:00:48.684
<v Speaker 1>video phone call with my dad. He can show me

0:00:48.765 --> 0:00:51.724
<v Speaker 1>his garden, I can show him the strange weather we've

0:00:51.725 --> 0:00:54.325
<v Speaker 1>got at the moment of hellstones and then slightly sunny

0:00:54.645 --> 0:00:57.485
<v Speaker 1>and so, but we can see each other the other

0:00:57.645 --> 0:00:59.965
<v Speaker 1>side of the world on a phone. There were no

0:01:00.085 --> 0:01:03.005
<v Speaker 1>phones in nineteen twenty five. There were no TVs. Radio

0:01:03.525 --> 0:01:07.725
<v Speaker 1>was still starting and come through as an emergent technology.

0:01:07.765 --> 0:01:11.245
<v Speaker 1>Also born in nineteen twenty five, Paul Newman, Angela Lansbury,

0:01:11.325 --> 0:01:16.885
<v Speaker 1>Sammy Davis Junior, and Margaret Thatcher. Oh yes, yes it

0:01:16.925 --> 0:01:21.005
<v Speaker 1>was the movies. Charlie Chaplin was the biggest star in

0:01:21.205 --> 0:01:23.125
<v Speaker 1>silent movies. It was going to be another couple of

0:01:23.165 --> 0:01:26.285
<v Speaker 1>years before there were even any talkies. She's lived through

0:01:26.685 --> 0:01:30.045
<v Speaker 1>the last one hundred years of human history has been

0:01:30.205 --> 0:01:34.325
<v Speaker 1>the most dramatic. Obviously, You've got the two World Wars,

0:01:34.605 --> 0:01:39.205
<v Speaker 1>You've got the forties, the fifties, the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, noughties.

0:01:39.685 --> 0:01:42.925
<v Speaker 1>What she's seen is mind blowing. You know, she's gone

0:01:42.925 --> 0:01:46.685
<v Speaker 1>through it and now chatch ebt. So anyway, the only

0:01:46.725 --> 0:01:48.645
<v Speaker 1>reason I know about her is because I was speaking

0:01:48.645 --> 0:01:50.285
<v Speaker 1>to her granddaughter a couple of weeks ago on the

0:01:50.285 --> 0:01:50.845
<v Speaker 1>show Carly.

0:01:50.965 --> 0:01:53.805
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Hi Christian, how are you going.

0:01:53.965 --> 0:01:56.165
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you what. I'm so excited the whole

0:01:56.205 --> 0:01:59.685
<v Speaker 1>team are, because so she's your grandmother, isn't she? Yeah?

0:01:59.725 --> 0:02:01.405
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so, she's one.

0:02:01.245 --> 0:02:06.125
<v Speaker 1>Hundred yees yeah. And now is she still okay? Because

0:02:06.125 --> 0:02:07.725
<v Speaker 1>I said a couple of weeks ago you said she

0:02:07.805 --> 0:02:09.365
<v Speaker 1>listens to the show. If she wants to come in

0:02:09.405 --> 0:02:10.924
<v Speaker 1>and watch some of the show, we'd love to meet

0:02:10.965 --> 0:02:13.485
<v Speaker 1>her and say happy birthday. Is she still up for that?

0:02:14.165 --> 0:02:16.365
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Absolutely, she's looking forward to.

0:02:16.325 --> 0:02:18.645
<v Speaker 1>It now, Tina, who's been speaking to you, one of

0:02:18.645 --> 0:02:21.445
<v Speaker 1>my team has said that obviously, she is one hundred

0:02:21.525 --> 0:02:24.405
<v Speaker 1>years old this week, so a hearing isn't too great.

0:02:25.485 --> 0:02:28.445
<v Speaker 1>Now we have everything quite loud here. I don't want

0:02:28.445 --> 0:02:29.525
<v Speaker 1>to distress he or anything.

0:02:29.965 --> 0:02:31.365
<v Speaker 2>No, it's going to need to be loud.

0:02:31.925 --> 0:02:33.445
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well that's why I have to have it loud

0:02:33.445 --> 0:02:35.765
<v Speaker 1>as well. My headphones are at height. Well, would you

0:02:35.765 --> 0:02:37.885
<v Speaker 1>think she'd be okay to chat to me on the show?

0:02:37.965 --> 0:02:40.125
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sort of put too much on her,

0:02:40.245 --> 0:02:41.925
<v Speaker 1>like she's going to turn up and suddenly it's not

0:02:42.085 --> 0:02:45.005
<v Speaker 1>at the zoo and we're prodding her and carbon dating her.

0:02:46.285 --> 0:02:50.364
<v Speaker 2>I know she's up for anything. She's yeah, she's always keen,

0:02:50.845 --> 0:02:52.484
<v Speaker 2>so she's very much looking.

0:02:52.285 --> 0:02:54.805
<v Speaker 1>Forward to it. This is incredible. Now we're going to

0:02:54.845 --> 0:02:57.485
<v Speaker 1>get her a gift. Okay, are there any areas I mean,

0:02:57.525 --> 0:02:59.325
<v Speaker 1>she must have had so many gifts to the years.

0:02:59.085 --> 0:03:01.845
<v Speaker 1>She's one hundred this week. Are there any areas of

0:03:01.885 --> 0:03:03.445
<v Speaker 1>interest you think she'd like a gift?

0:03:04.005 --> 0:03:07.525
<v Speaker 2>Well, she loves music a lot. I've been asked this

0:03:07.605 --> 0:03:12.405
<v Speaker 2>question a lot over the last couple of weeks. She's insistent,

0:03:12.725 --> 0:03:17.645
<v Speaker 2>she needs nothing, she wants nothing, but she loves music.

0:03:17.725 --> 0:03:24.045
<v Speaker 2>She was a dancer. She yeah, she is just always

0:03:24.125 --> 0:03:24.925
<v Speaker 2>up for a good time.

0:03:25.085 --> 0:03:27.125
<v Speaker 1>Basically, does she still dance now?

0:03:27.805 --> 0:03:30.445
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she likes too. She's a little bit slower on

0:03:30.485 --> 0:03:34.245
<v Speaker 2>her feet, but she Yeah, she absolutely loves to take

0:03:34.245 --> 0:03:35.605
<v Speaker 2>a spin around the dance floor.

0:03:36.685 --> 0:03:38.405
<v Speaker 1>I was googling the other day, what were the big

0:03:38.445 --> 0:03:44.565
<v Speaker 1>songs of nineteen twenty five? Yeah, and business a different time.

0:03:45.285 --> 0:03:48.005
<v Speaker 1>You imagine it's crackling through the radio. What you need?

<v Speaker 1>that head shearing?

0:04:05.525 --> 0:04:06.885
<v Speaker 3>Yes, ma'am, we did that.

0:04:07.725 --> 0:04:08.405
<v Speaker 1>Would she like some?

0:04:09.925 --> 0:04:11.885
<v Speaker 2>Oh for sure? Always that's the cake.

0:04:12.605 --> 0:04:15.205
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, well listen, Carly, we will see you

0:04:15.325 --> 0:04:18.045
<v Speaker 1>and you're soon to be one hundred year old grandmother

0:04:18.205 --> 0:04:21.404
<v Speaker 1>this Wednesday. We're all super excited. We see them mean.

0:04:21.525 --> 0:04:28.604
<v Speaker 1>Lillian excellent the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So Lillian is

0:04:28.645 --> 0:04:31.564
<v Speaker 1>this lovely lady's name who's coming in on the show

0:04:31.685 --> 0:04:34.445
<v Speaker 1>this Wednesday? She listens to the show. She's ninety nine.

0:04:34.484 --> 0:04:38.244
<v Speaker 1>In a moment, she turns one hundred this Wednesday. Anyone

0:04:38.284 --> 0:04:40.925
<v Speaker 1>ever met at one hundred year old before no, I haven't.

0:04:41.085 --> 0:04:44.284
<v Speaker 1>Don't believe I have. I'm actually so excited what I

0:04:44.325 --> 0:04:46.044
<v Speaker 1>just said about all those other people that were also

0:04:46.445 --> 0:04:49.525
<v Speaker 1>born in nineteen twenty five, like Sammy Davis Junior, Paul Newman,

0:04:49.565 --> 0:04:53.245
<v Speaker 1>and Margaret Thatcher. They're not around, Kaylen you just said,

0:04:53.284 --> 0:04:56.684
<v Speaker 1>but just again into a great thought here about other

0:04:56.724 --> 0:04:58.485
<v Speaker 1>people who are one hundred yees.

0:04:58.525 --> 0:05:02.445
<v Speaker 3>So there would only be like ten, if that many

0:05:02.525 --> 0:05:04.724
<v Speaker 3>people in the world that are over one hundred right now.

0:05:05.005 --> 0:05:08.044
<v Speaker 1>So when she was boris in more than ten, Maybe

0:05:08.044 --> 0:05:11.565
<v Speaker 1>there'd be a couple of hundred. Tina is laughing at

0:05:11.565 --> 0:05:15.445
<v Speaker 1>you over your shoulder. It will just be ten really always.

0:05:15.445 --> 0:05:16.964
<v Speaker 1>You might have to put them in a house together

0:05:17.964 --> 0:05:20.724
<v Speaker 1>and make a reality shot, some sort of flat house.

0:05:23.325 --> 0:05:27.325
<v Speaker 1>Why not zero? You know? Yeah, you must just party.

0:05:27.844 --> 0:05:29.884
<v Speaker 1>You've lived through so much.

0:05:30.525 --> 0:05:33.765
<v Speaker 3>I was just thinking when she was born, everyone that

0:05:33.924 --> 0:05:38.044
<v Speaker 3>existed when she was born are no longer here.

0:05:38.245 --> 0:05:40.085
<v Speaker 1>Listen, when she comes in, she doesn't want to hear

0:05:40.125 --> 0:05:43.044
<v Speaker 1>that kind of chichen about it must be really lonely

0:05:43.085 --> 0:05:45.044
<v Speaker 1>being you or he makes her dead. Not lonely.

0:05:45.085 --> 0:05:45.724
<v Speaker 4>We're here for her.

0:05:45.765 --> 0:05:50.565
<v Speaker 1>We've got to keep the vibes up. Let me let

0:05:50.565 --> 0:05:52.365
<v Speaker 1>me look at your calendar. It must be like just

0:05:52.484 --> 0:05:56.044
<v Speaker 1>back to about a few quick flipping not another one

0:05:56.804 --> 0:06:02.085
<v Speaker 1>these days and barely out of black Tina? Can we

0:06:02.205 --> 0:06:04.324
<v Speaker 1>what does Google say? What does the internet say about

0:06:04.325 --> 0:06:06.404
<v Speaker 1>how many people are over one hundred? Is it nine?

0:06:06.445 --> 0:06:17.645
<v Speaker 1>Like Kaylen's a million? Can anyone go from I think

0:06:17.645 --> 0:06:19.605
<v Speaker 1>it's ten people to half a million?

0:06:19.724 --> 0:06:19.964
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:06:21.164 --> 0:06:23.765
<v Speaker 1>Now I think you're right these days like we're getting up,

0:06:23.765 --> 0:06:28.564
<v Speaker 1>we're aging older. Half a million people hundred they should

0:06:28.565 --> 0:06:31.164
<v Speaker 1>all live in their own country. We should just have

0:06:31.284 --> 0:06:33.444
<v Speaker 1>Oldsville and it just be a country where it's just

0:06:33.565 --> 0:06:36.964
<v Speaker 1>old people shuffling around and hanging out together.

0:06:38.164 --> 0:06:40.804
<v Speaker 4>Don't believe are the facts that come from you.

0:06:43.125 --> 0:06:46.164
<v Speaker 1>Just clutched a number of it and went ten. Hey, Lellian,

0:06:46.245 --> 0:06:49.285
<v Speaker 1>you want a ten an Australia. No, I reckon you'd

0:06:49.284 --> 0:06:52.484
<v Speaker 1>even be over a hundred one hundred year olds here?

0:06:53.005 --> 0:06:53.884
<v Speaker 3>N crazy?

0:06:54.085 --> 0:06:58.404
<v Speaker 1>You get a letter from the Queen there miracle a miracle.

0:06:59.245 --> 0:07:05.964
<v Speaker 1>Miracle was the Queen from the other side Royal. Before

0:07:06.005 --> 0:07:12.605
<v Speaker 1>she died, she par one might make a home not

0:07:12.725 --> 0:07:17.285
<v Speaker 1>missing out a Lillian. That one's a gamer. Shit be funny.

0:07:17.364 --> 0:07:20.244
<v Speaker 3>According to that he's the king is a very busy

0:07:20.285 --> 0:07:24.204
<v Speaker 3>person writing letters half a million people over one hundred.

0:07:24.205 --> 0:07:29.845
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's why his fingers around. The Christian O'Connell show podcast,

0:07:30.605 --> 0:07:33.845
<v Speaker 1>one of my listeners turns to one hundred this Wednesday

0:07:34.445 --> 0:07:37.205
<v Speaker 1>is blowing our minds today, Lillian, she's coming in on

0:07:37.245 --> 0:07:39.765
<v Speaker 1>the show. We'd like to get her a gift. I

0:07:39.765 --> 0:07:43.445
<v Speaker 1>need somehow what do you get a one hundred year

0:07:43.445 --> 0:07:46.925
<v Speaker 1>old At the moment, The most common idea is newspaper

0:07:46.925 --> 0:07:49.564
<v Speaker 1>from the day she was born. I reckon, she's got

0:07:49.605 --> 0:07:52.645
<v Speaker 1>sixty copies of newspapers. She must have gone through so many,

0:07:53.485 --> 0:07:57.965
<v Speaker 1>so many years where that someone's got a newspaper. Newspapers

0:07:57.965 --> 0:08:01.485
<v Speaker 1>would have looked very different from now. Imagine one from

0:08:01.565 --> 0:08:07.325
<v Speaker 1>nineteen twenty five, like two pages, so partuicicating. You thought

0:08:07.325 --> 0:08:10.485
<v Speaker 1>they were about nine to ten one hundred year olds

0:08:10.525 --> 0:08:12.645
<v Speaker 1>in the world. We found out it's nine hundred. It's

0:08:12.725 --> 0:08:16.325
<v Speaker 1>estimated at nine hundred and thirty five thousand. There are

0:08:16.445 --> 0:08:20.165
<v Speaker 1>six thousand, three hundred, one hundred year olds and above

0:08:20.364 --> 0:08:23.725
<v Speaker 1>in this country alone. A number, isn't it?

0:08:23.725 --> 0:08:27.925
<v Speaker 4>It has this we're living older now, which the science

0:08:27.925 --> 0:08:30.885
<v Speaker 4>of medicine, we're living old. It's six thousand and three

0:08:30.925 --> 0:08:35.405
<v Speaker 4>hundred just in Australia, the oldest Australian turned one hundred

0:08:35.445 --> 0:08:36.485
<v Speaker 4>and twelve two weeks ago.

0:08:36.645 --> 0:08:44.445
<v Speaker 1>Whoa and his name of course ken I am ken I.

0:08:44.684 --> 0:08:47.605
<v Speaker 1>They sung that too birthday one hundred and twelve on

0:08:47.645 --> 0:08:51.565
<v Speaker 1>October the fifth. That is incredible. All right, So some

0:08:51.804 --> 0:08:56.725
<v Speaker 1>ideas then, for what do we get Lilian Christian? She

0:08:56.804 --> 0:08:59.804
<v Speaker 1>loves music, needs a present? What does are all old

0:08:59.845 --> 0:09:04.244
<v Speaker 1>people love? Come on? Oh, there's get him out of

0:09:04.285 --> 0:09:09.605
<v Speaker 1>a time and serenade. Yes, I think he's nearly what

0:09:11.245 --> 0:09:18.964
<v Speaker 1>she joins that red club. What about concert by candlelight experience.

0:09:19.645 --> 0:09:21.765
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, they're supposed to be very nice.

0:09:21.845 --> 0:09:23.725
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but she's not going to be She won't be

0:09:23.765 --> 0:09:27.245
<v Speaker 1>walking around and stuff like that. Apparently I'm not charging.

0:09:27.285 --> 0:09:30.405
<v Speaker 1>Of course, her hearing isn't great. You know, there's only

0:09:30.485 --> 0:09:33.565
<v Speaker 1>so much technology can do. You know, maybe you could

0:09:33.564 --> 0:09:36.285
<v Speaker 1>trap some speakers to her head from sons or something

0:09:36.285 --> 0:09:38.885
<v Speaker 1>that's so she can hear a bit easier. Christian, can

0:09:38.885 --> 0:09:43.324
<v Speaker 1>you imagine Lillian when she first heard radio, Well, she

0:09:43.324 --> 0:09:45.684
<v Speaker 1>would have, obviously she were them been gathered around the

0:09:45.725 --> 0:09:47.725
<v Speaker 1>radio like people were all over the world when church

0:09:48.084 --> 0:09:51.204
<v Speaker 1>was announced the end of the war. She would have

0:09:51.204 --> 0:09:53.325
<v Speaker 1>probably been heard about that, and then start to maybe
