1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: So yes, still on the show, we were talking about

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: who did he write to? After I had Ian Thorpe

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: on the show, and Jack confided it to Ian Thought

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: that he wrote to him as a kid. So we're

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: asking you who do you write to and did you

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: get a reply, And then he also shared that it

8
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: wasn't just seeing Thought that you wrote a nice fan

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: letter to, it was also somebody else that meant a

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: lot to you.

11
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: Yes, when I was much younger than my letter to

12
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Ian Thorpe. I also wrote to Ronald McDonald, the mascot

13
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: of the McDonald's franchise, asking him Mike what his favorite

14
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: menu items were, telling him that my mum didn't like

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: me to go to McDonald's very often, and then that

16
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: I was sad about that and I never got a

17
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: reply from Ronald.

18
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: I love the fact though, so you would have seen

19
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: the TV adverts and thought he seems like the kind

20
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: of guy I could have a correspondent as well.

21
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: Me.

22
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: I always got freaked out by Ronald MacDonald because he's

23
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: essentially a clown, you know, and that whole storyline with

24
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: him and Hamburger. But you think I'm going to drop

25
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: him a note.

26
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I feel like we're already friends. He loves chips, I

27
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: love chips.

28
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: He's got so much in common. It's a friendship just

29
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: waiting to happen. So did your parents run, intervene or anything.

30
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: No, I mean they could knock yourself out, right, What

31
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: do you want to?

32
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: All right?

33
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: So you wrote to Ronnie. I wonder, actually, I wonder

34
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: what my mum actually did with the letter after I said, hey,

35
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: here's my life.

36
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I can probably guess.

37
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry.

38
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: We'll post out the way to work. You talk about

39
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: him tonight when he goes a bit. This has got

40
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: to stop, all right? What about the wizards in the bedroom?

41
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: What's he doing in there? AnyWho? Right? So he wrote,

42
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: and I said, you do. This reminds me of the

43
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: song many years ago with Eminem Stan, one of his

44
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: biggest hits right where it's a crazed fan Stan writing

45
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: to Eminem.

46
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: And Eminem's not writing back to.

47
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: He's not writing back. I think at the end of

48
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: the song he tries to reason with him. It was

49
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: guess what year that came out? Stan?

50
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: It was when I was like, yeah, two thousand and

51
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: two and.

52
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Win and Winn, Yeah, twenty twenty one years old. All right,

53
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: So the original song Stan I wrote to.

54
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: Which you're still in Carling. I left myself my page,

55
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: your em my home phone. At the bottom, I said

56
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: two letters back in autumn. You must not have got them.

57
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm playing this to be honest, not just to remind

58
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: you of the song and the story and the song

59
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: for some of you, also just to let you know

60
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: about Eminem, because I know that some of our hardcore

61
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: I did the same when it was k one night

62
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: and I was Somethinglish Gundby. And now that the man

63

64
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: up speeds about to play, who's gonna make no sense.

65
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a dog whistle to Jack and

66
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: I and maybe tops three other people who are aware

67
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: of Eminem and the songs, and to my best head

68
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: people to make sure road up to speed right.

69
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,959

70
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: the early.

71
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: But a lot of things that's big around the world

72
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: takes a while to break through here just to filter down.

73
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a hemisphere thing I found anyway, Jack writing

74
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120
