00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast and.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: Being told that the Facebook video that's just dropped of

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Jack turning a light on and waiting eighteen seconds that

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: he counts along until it's actually illuminated almost speed of light,

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: was the speed of light.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and electricity is the same.

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 4: It's instant.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: A sparky, you know, I said, that's who we need

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: to talk to. Jack's good a problem he turns it on.

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 2: Why is he waiting eighteen seconds for light to appear?

11
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: We've never heard of such a thing. Sometimes you might

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: get the blinking light.

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

14
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: I remember my pen and Pa had that for my

15
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 3: whole childhood life in their kitchen, like.

16
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Them blink for years, can't it before either goes out

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: or just remain splinking. I guess there are people in

18
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: life like that. They're just they're there, aren't they sort

19
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: of blinking away? We need an electrician. They didn't want

20
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: to saying earlier, But sometimes they're mysterious aloof people.

21
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: One of the us texted in too. He doesn't call us.

22
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,279

28
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,479

00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: Let's built into the light fitting that comes from Sparky Jack.

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: So on today's show, we've been doing five to bit

31
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: Tuesday about an hour's time. One of the topics today

32
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: we sort of got into yesterday fell into it is

33
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: about nightmare names.

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: Had a great email yesterday. I've had another one here.

35
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: From Andrena Mucknamara Andrena Mucknamara. So as soon as I'm

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: saying both these names, you're thinking, oh, I wonder how

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: you would spell that Andrena Mucknamara. Hi, Christian, I heard

38
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: you talking about nightmare names. I spend my life spelling

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: my name to people or correcting its pronunciation. Andrena is

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: pronounced and Reina and Rena and not Andrea, Andrea, Adrian, Angelina, Edwena,

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: which are cop on a regular basis. Then let's get

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: to my surname. I always have to spell that ma Namara.

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: The ens, the ms get everyone confused out of that.

44
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: I live at a nightmare address. Oh this is horrendous.

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: I've been going over this address a couple of times.

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm getting this right. But it looks

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: on first read that it's Mela Lucia caught me e

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: l A l e U c A.

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 4: That's a nightmare.

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 2: I mean, you would dread having to speak to any

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: utility company or anything to give them all the details,

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: the name, the address.

53
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: It's a Christion. I do have a double nightmare name.

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: The only thing if I have children, the only thing

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: I am going to promise to give them is that

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: a name that doesn't need to be spelt to people

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: who are just meeting you. Isn't that the greatest gift

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: you can give a child or else.

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think the gift of knowing that they are

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: loved and feel safe. You know above that they've got

61
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: an easy name like Jack Sarah. I was saying yes sir.

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: When I first started in radio almost twenty two years ago.

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: My first boss was this crazy Austraining guy that hired me,

64
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: and he was an awesome guy and no one else

65
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: would give me a job in the UK radio part

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: from this mad Australian that he turned up on the

67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: couch about three months. I was the first person he hired,

68
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: and he says, right away, your biggest problem is going

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: to be your name.

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: And I said, what do you mean?

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: He goes, he's got too many what do you call

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: syllables and consonants?

73
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: Right? He said, Christian Oh Connall, it's a mess.

74
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: Before I even said a word, it was the syllables

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: and consonants. He thought was going to hold my career back.

76
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: He said, I need to change my name to Chris Connell.

77
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: He said, it's a spang bang kind of name, like

78
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: Jack Post Sampang. You need to be in that category.

79
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: So yesterday we had some production made. Haven't listened to this,

80
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: dear listener, does this sound better?

81
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,640

82
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: point three.

83
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: I like it. Oh no, you don't like it, Patsy.

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: No, she doesn't like to play Jane.

85
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Connall. It sounds like it could be on

00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: Is that it's a powerl life to me? Now, it's

90
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: like who I could have become.

91
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: I think the longer you stay in Australia, it's going

92
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: to happen anyway.

93
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: Two years I've remained Christian O'Connell. The hard thing is

94
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: now we're changing. They've they've got some new email addresses

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: for me and they want me to stop saying Christian

96
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: at Gold one O four three dot com dot a

97
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: you because we also have a national evening show. Now

98
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: for simplicity, they want me to use this one, which

99
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: is Christian at christiano'connell dot com dot au. However, people

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: are putting there's obviously an apostrophe between the O and

101
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: the cm Irish surname. The email is spitting it back

102
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: and people are get adding a bounce back and then

103
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: they just can't be bothered to email again, which you get.

104
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: They're busy.

105
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: So do you remember what we said yesterday? We heard

106
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240

00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: isn't it.

00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's gonna I think she wants to get a

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: whole lot of misspelled email addresses and.

111
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: They all redirect back to you.

112
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: And anyway, so no matter how much you stuff up

113
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: writing Christian O'Connell, if you give it one end, two

114

120
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: the world we're living. Whereas Chris connell, maybe it would

121
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: have been easier anyway. Do you have a nightmare name?

122

Speaker 4: not for me.

193
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 7: It's my poor children that I have tortured. I have

194
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 7: Mason spelt with a sea, so everyone calls him Macon.

195
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 4: Would you do that?

196
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 7: No? Well, I originally wanted to call him Mace, but

197
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 7: his dad got paranoid that people would pick on him

198
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 7: and call him pepper spray or something.

199
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: So his was right to protect that one with a sea.

200
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: Why would you do that, Mason?

201
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 7: one sound. And my poor daughter is named Ziana.

204
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,320

Speaker 4: Where does it come from? Zion?

209
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 7: From the Spanish Aztech. She the Princess of the cloud people.

00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: She is a night when she's been naughting, get down here.

Speaker 4: You know, Princess of the cloud people.

212
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 7: It's very hard. If people see the spelling, they tend

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 7: to call her Zenya because it's not spelt phonetically.

214
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: It's such an easier way to remember her name, isn't it.

215
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: People should know more about their as tech cloud people though.

216
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: That's their ignorance.

217
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: Shame on us for not knowing our cloud people. Why

218
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: are not going to rest this week until we go

219
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: into a deep dive to the cloud people. Okay, I'm

220
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: going to give you a one hundred dollar eBay voucher.
