Speaker 1: Chris Christian o'connells show podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, so we're going to do our Midwek schools.
Speaker 3: Now, this is where we ask you to ever think,
Speaker 3: are you winning or losing the week? So far as
Speaker 3: we're in humday Wednesday, have a think? Are you doing
Speaker 3: well this week? Are you winning or losing your week?
Speaker 2: So far? Jack? What are you up to?
Speaker 3: Jack's got to leave in You're out of here in
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. Only Chack will book a piano tuner at
Speaker 3: nine am.
Speaker 4: I can only I'm working to his time.
Speaker 2: He can walk to your guys and tune that piano anytime.
Speaker 4: So that is my first loss to of my Midwek scores.
Speaker 4: I am down this week. The piano. Are you depressed?
Speaker 4: The keys and they don't spring back, It's all going
Speaker 4: out of tune. It's an old she's an old thing.
Speaker 4: And the piano tuner can only.
Speaker 3: Do n Tell me it's an upright piano. Yep, they
Speaker 3: look beautiful. I love upright piano, so I think they
Speaker 3: always look great, don't they. So how long have you
Speaker 3: had it?
Speaker 2: I've only had it a year, But a minute.
Speaker 3: You've had it a year and suddenly the piano the
Speaker 3: turn around rate in your house.
Speaker 2: Have you put the heart rack up? Yeah? No, I have.
Speaker 4: Today when they first moved to piano. So it's family
Speaker 4: friends who gave it to us.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: First I thought, oh great, it's free. What this is
Speaker 4: awesome free piano. Didn't realize that it would cost two
Speaker 4: hundred dollars to get it, transport it, and then another
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars to get the piano tuna to tune
Speaker 4: it up. Now it's only been a year and the
Speaker 4: keys are starting to go. It's already out of tune.
Speaker 4: So he's coming today to essentially say whether it's worth
Speaker 4: keeping or repairing or junk it. And I don't know
Speaker 4: how you junk a big three hundred kilogram upright piano.
Speaker 4: But he can only do nine am this morning, So
Speaker 4: thank you again for letting me have an early levers
Speaker 4: pass at eight thirds today. Then, also I mentioned on
Speaker 4: the show yesterday the mum ruined the Lego Master's Grand
Speaker 4: Finale for us. We had it on catch Up, Ready
Speaker 4: to Go. We watched it last night. It was good,
Speaker 4: but we knew the outcome.
Speaker 2: Shame.
Speaker 4: And then and this is the kicker and you hate
Speaker 4: this sitting down to watch the Grand finale of Lego.
Speaker 4: Go to the cupboard to get a treat. What are
Speaker 4: we going to watch with chips chocolate? What's it going
Speaker 4: to be? Nothing in the cupboard and we had to
Speaker 4: eat cooking chocolate as our dessert.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's awful.
Speaker 3: Once you've said to your stomach, I'm getting you a treat.
Speaker 3: Stomach doesn't understand when you let it down.
Speaker 4: It would be the equivalent of telling you, doug, hey,
Speaker 4: we're going for a walk and then just not like
Speaker 4: leaving the house.
Speaker 3: It's actually cruel you actually come. I struggle to regain
Speaker 3: composiuon rebalance myself. I am irritable and very very I
Speaker 3: think the phrase is inconsolable.
Speaker 4: So have you stooped as low as eating the cooking.
Speaker 2: I have to have something. They'll find something in there.
Speaker 3: Whatever it is you once you out, there's not You
Speaker 3: don't get the treat that you want to do.
Speaker 2: So you're losing the.
Speaker 4: Week so bad, stated of.
Speaker 3: 'con podcast doing midwek schools where on Wednesday, middle of
Speaker 3: the week we ask you if you're winning or losing
Speaker 3: the week so far. Christian, I'm winning a new job
Speaker 3: starting today, getting out the house. Finally, that's on Ethan,
Speaker 3: congratulations and enjoy you and you found freedom. I'm winning
Speaker 3: Christian a way to deliver concrete to the TV show
Speaker 3: with the Block?
Speaker 2: Do you drive a van?
Speaker 3: Because someone with the block and Blaze and order a
Speaker 3: van last night cut me up on South Road.
Speaker 2: They were hammering it along the road there and you
Speaker 2: cut me up. So that was that you.
Speaker 3: I'm actually pleased, hopefully to win this week. Favorite excited.
Speaker 3: I've also liked you.
Speaker 2: Jack got someone come around today to my house. But
Speaker 2: I respect that the show finishes at nine and I'm
Speaker 2: not free int all. Then you probably just got lucky
Speaker 2: with the hours that he could do. I told him.
Speaker 3: I told him the time I wanted as a Christmas present,
Speaker 3: I was told by my wife that I could get
Speaker 3: a vinyl turntable. Now you might be thinking, why have
Speaker 3: you got at Christmas was five and half months ago.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I've become too obsessed with stuff.
Speaker 2: I remember you looking for ages.
Speaker 3: It's overwhelming. Right you start to read up about the
Speaker 3: best kind of sound systems to get. First of all,
Speaker 3: went down a rabbit hole for weeks, whether or not
Speaker 3: what kind.
Speaker 2: Of speakers are they?
Speaker 3: Are they on the floor, because that gives a certain
Speaker 3: sound quantity apparently or are they on a stand the speakers?
Speaker 3: And this is just to have Vinyl music in a
Speaker 3: room in my house, right, and I'm on the wall.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have my twelve favorite album covers.
Speaker 4: Oh that's a cool idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Buy the turntable. And anyway, then you get into what
Speaker 3: kind of the wires can affect the sound and the
Speaker 3: coaxorce and all this I gave up. It was all
Speaker 3: just like two overwhelming. And then I said last week
Speaker 3: to get a guy out to give him my first quote.
Speaker 3: So today there's a Vinyl man coming out to give
Speaker 3: me a quote about turntables and what you do with
Speaker 3: the speakers. So I think these days you have to
Speaker 3: have something called a pre amp or an amp or
Speaker 3: some that to go with her to get that right
Speaker 3: warm crackle, to give it the sound it deserves.
Speaker 4: And how do you find him? Is he a true
Speaker 4: audiophile who knows about the different conductors of the copper
Speaker 4: in the wiring.
Speaker 3: Last year someone came round to wire in a TV
Speaker 3: we do only just moved into the house, right, and
Speaker 3: I was saying, oh, yeah, I want to get a
Speaker 3: Vinyl turntable in he goes, I shouldn't say this. I
Speaker 3: don't my company I'm currently working for do all that.
Speaker 3: But actually the old company I work for, there's a
Speaker 3: guy there who's a legend him.
Speaker 2: I've got him coming out today.
Speaker 4: Why do you sleep on it for five months?
Speaker 3: Because I got to information starts. I'm scratching as I
Speaker 3: don't don't know why I became just it was I
Speaker 3: was frightened and making a wrong move.
Speaker 2: Oh this is the best song. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: But if anyone does know what anyone else I should
Speaker 3: be talking to as well, because I'm not very good
Speaker 3: good quotes because they always do that thing, don't they?
Speaker 2: Okay, how am I sure when to spend? And then
Speaker 2: whatever you say, they chuck a little bit more on
Speaker 2: and go yeah yeah, yeah yeah, get a good one,
Speaker 2: could get a good one. Awful little bit more you
Speaker 2: could get.
Speaker 3: And the sound quante with that one, just that extra
Speaker 3: extra bucks just makes a big sound. So I'm nervous
Speaker 3: about getting the quotes. So I need to get a
Speaker 3: couple of vinyl legends out. But it's a very specialized area.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I'm super excited about it, about being able
Speaker 3: to play fine and again hopefully in my house. I
Speaker 3: just like, there's nothing that beats the sound of vinal
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 4: And when you choose your top have you chosen your
Speaker 4: top twelve albums to put.
Speaker 2: On the water?
Speaker 3: I'm like, have you ever tried to anyone trying to
Speaker 3: ask me to big a top five or tellery I'll
Speaker 3: take weeks on that.
Speaker 2: I' obsess over.
Speaker 3: I can't sleep my idea of hell and someone saying
Speaker 3: what's your top alm is no. I've even opened up
Speaker 3: a pinteresta count no terresta count. I'm cutting and pasting
Speaker 3: images and could the twelve look like that? Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I need two Stones albums on the hang on? That
Speaker 3: means only one Boss album? Which one? Do I going
Speaker 3: for the album I love the most? All those iconic
Speaker 3: one Who's this twelve album really falls.
Speaker 2: It for me? Or for guests? Do I go for
Speaker 2: Pink Floyd that? I can't it? One with the Rainbow
Speaker 2: thro the Prison?
Speaker 3: But it's not my top twelve albums, but it's a
Speaker 3: great album covering. When you think about great album covers,
Speaker 3: there used to really be an art form and great album.
Speaker 4: You're puddy more thought into it than the rock and
Speaker 4: roll hall.
Speaker 3: Of now you understand why I've just stepped away, for
Speaker 3: it was stressing me out too much. Anyway, I'm super
Speaker 3: excited by the Vinyl guy coming at eleven thirty day. Patsy,
Speaker 3: what are your middleweach scores? Are you winning or losing
Speaker 3: this week?
Speaker 4: Mate?
Speaker 1: I'm winning by a trillion times a trillion. I haven't
Speaker 1: let a lot of people know about this. You guys
Speaker 1: know it obviously because it's very private and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to be defined by it. But I actually marked
Speaker 1: five years cancer free yesterday, and I'm so excited, So
Speaker 1: I'm all fine, there's no one needs to stress. I'm fine,
Speaker 1: I'm healthy. But I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and
Speaker 1: my brother was a year earlier, almost to the day,
Speaker 1: so we've obviously got a genetic link there that we
Speaker 1: didn't realize until that point. And I'm kicking goals and
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm so blessed and I've got so
Speaker 1: much to be thankful for. So I don't think anything
Speaker 1: through the year could top the day Chris and I
Speaker 1: had yesterday and the news that we had so five years.
Speaker 1: So each year, as it progresses, my odds are getting
Speaker 1: better and better.
Speaker 2: Oh congratulations. Amazing.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and good on you for stepping forward to telling
Speaker 3: people as well, because people do.
Speaker 2: Please full you. That's amazing you. So five years yep.
Speaker 1: Five years, so I'm very very excited by that. But
Speaker 1: what I will say, if you feel that something's wrong,
Speaker 1: I had kidney stones, They've probably saved my life. That's
Speaker 1: how they diagnosed it was I had these kidney stones,
Speaker 1: and then when they looked, they thought, well, hang on,
Speaker 1: there's something there that shouldn't be there. And they got
Speaker 1: it very very very early. So that was definitely an
Speaker 1: added blessing. But I sort of felt coming up to
Speaker 1: it even before I had the stones. I just had
Speaker 1: this feeling that I don't know whether it was a
Speaker 1: woman's instinct, but something wasn't right, and I thought maybe
Speaker 1: I was being a bit new writing. You know, I
Speaker 1: was a mom with a three year old. I was tired,
Speaker 1: and I thought, look, I'm just run down. But I
Speaker 1: should have listened to my instinct then. But luckily when
Speaker 1: a time was on my side, so you.
Speaker 2: Did, and you're alive thanks to that as well.
Speaker 3: And you celebrate yesterday five years clear, which is incredible.
Speaker 3: What a terrifying ordeal that obviously we weren't working together
Speaker 3: and Jack and I did really know you. But that
Speaker 3: must have been a hard time to go through when
Speaker 3: you go through all the treatment, especially because you know,
Speaker 3: we know what been a mum means to you. So
Speaker 3: to come through all of that darkness and come to
Speaker 3: the other side to have yesterday must be very special
Speaker 3: for you and Chris and to us as well.
Speaker 2: Work with you and love you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks guys, And it's you know, it's not something
Speaker 1: that already is something that I wi should never happen,
Speaker 1: but I've gained. I sort of try to focus on
Speaker 1: the positive, what it's brought to my life and that
Speaker 1: every day matters, and to make every day matter and
Speaker 1: don't waste any day and tell people. That's why people
Speaker 1: might think it's weird how I say on air, how
Speaker 1: I love the both of you, because I do tell
Speaker 1: people that you love them because it matters, you know,
Speaker 1: tell them that you love them. What's to be ashamed
Speaker 1: of opening up and showing your heart.
Speaker 2: Oh, bless you. I love you, pat We absolutely door
Speaker 2: working with you.
Speaker 3: Patsy. I love you too, mate. It's great news that
Speaker 3: you five years. Congratulations to you and christ as well, guys,
Speaker 3: all right, lovely pats, thank you very much. Puts a
Speaker 3: bit of shade on Jack and Ie one about whether
Speaker 3: we're winning or CHACKMONI I don't have it, no spread
Speaker 3: in the in the pantry. I'm running out of trees.
Speaker 3: But great news, Patson.
