Speaker 1: Christ Christian O'Connell show show yesterday at this radio station.
Speaker 1: Huggy Midfield General mister mid Mornings here mark twenty nine
Speaker 1: years at this radio station. A remarkable rum which is
Speaker 1: a lot about just how well loved he is and
Speaker 1: how good he is at his job a day in
Speaker 1: da out. He's never down. He's always happy to be
Speaker 1: on air. And there are a lot of people who
Speaker 1: when they've been in radio wil are jaded and cincle.
Speaker 1: Hugy isn't one of them. He's got a genuine joy
Speaker 1: of radio and the legacy of radio and still been
Speaker 1: lucky to be part of it today. And when we
Speaker 1: started here he was nothing but behind that one hundred
Speaker 1: percent when he didn't need to be so. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: a big day yesday for the station and obviously, Pats
Speaker 1: you're at and whereby. After the show, we all sat
Speaker 1: around and we sang kind of happy radio birthday to
Speaker 1: Hugging and we had had some cake. Now I didn't
Speaker 1: know this about hug he'd been working with him two years.
Speaker 1: I met his lovely wife and now about his family
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but I didn't know about this
Speaker 1: is the big guy. He's got a very specific fear
Speaker 1: to do with cake. Do you know this is it's
Speaker 1: well known and well documented in that building in there.
Speaker 1: He listeners have seen him cakes and he doesn't like
Speaker 1: to eat them. Well, there's a separate thing about why
Speaker 1: he shouldn't do that because they might be poisoned. But
Speaker 1: you know, his fear of cakes is about it's a
Speaker 1: fear of not knowing the origins of the cake. So
Speaker 1: unless essentially, unless he's seen the all the ingredients go
Speaker 1: into it, he won't eat a cake. He doesn't trust it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, And it took a lot of coaxing from us
Speaker 1: to try and get him to have his birthday cake yesterday.
Speaker 1: Did you see him have any? He did have? Some
Speaker 1: how shocked that he did. Yeah, the boss had to
Speaker 1: assure him where it had come from and how it
Speaker 1: been put together and stuff like that. And you know
Speaker 1: it won't be one. I only mean to laugh at
Speaker 1: his phobias, right that people have all kinds of phoberas
Speaker 1: they can be really painful people. But I've never heard
Speaker 1: of you know, most phobias are pretty well known, aren't they.
Speaker 1: But I've never heard of a fear of the origin
Speaker 1: of cakes. And I had a look online, because there's
Speaker 1: a name for virtually every kind of phobia. There's alojexophobia,
Speaker 1: which is the fear of opinions. One of our bosses
Speaker 1: here has that, so very we're never allowed to set
Speaker 1: off the rash otherwise, you know, giving opinions. What about
Speaker 1: this one. Papaphobia is a fear of the pope. Yeah really,
Speaker 1: I when you're gonna have a pretty good life, I mean,
Speaker 1: how is that going to flare up? A fear of
Speaker 1: the you know, Easter Sundays on TV, the rash is
Speaker 1: coming up? The Papaphobia's back. I've had this one sometimes,
Speaker 1: especially with home schooling at the moment. Nostrophobia that's a
Speaker 1: fear of returning home. I love this one. Phobia is
Speaker 1: a fear of atomic explosions. Well, surely we all have that, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And there's all yeah, there's a whole load these, but
Speaker 1: I've never heard of the very specific one. A fear
Speaker 1: of the origin of cakes and not knowing where the
Speaker 1: cake has come from. So if you have an unusual phobia,
Speaker 1: let us know this morning.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Unusual phobias? I don't know. This is a phobia. One
Speaker 1: thing I don't like you remember when you were kid
Speaker 1: and you don't have to do it too often as
Speaker 1: an adult. But I used to get lot sore throats.
Speaker 1: They took my tonsels out, so I have to go
Speaker 1: to the doctors and have that horrible wooden.
Speaker 2: Pedal makes me dry? Rich English?
Speaker 1: How can something be so dry? It goes beyond dry?
Speaker 1: Just a touch of it, a light just touch on
Speaker 1: your tongue and then they're pressing down the tongue depress
Speaker 1: and may then imagine if they would scrape it phobia Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually making my throats okay. So we're looking for
Speaker 1: your unusual phobias podcast, talk about unusual phobias. This morning
Speaker 1: Bobby listener, Bobby has an unusual phoba of Coleslaw. Not
Speaker 1: just that he's put block caps. What it is about it?
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of this stuff, it's text
Speaker 1: during stuff like that for a lot of us, isn't
Speaker 1: It feels like the tongue depress of that dryness and
Speaker 1: so Christian, I can't have a terrible fear of ice cubes.
Speaker 1: I fear they will stick to my skin. That comes
Speaker 1: from the mysteriously named Woozy Robert's got a phobia feet
Speaker 1: kind of look at his own feet. That's going to
Speaker 1: be troubling putting your shoes or to go to work,
Speaker 1: isn't that? How are you looking at the word Some
Speaker 1: assistant doing that for you putting your socks on? And
Speaker 1: that's incredible? Are we are? We curious things as human beings.
Speaker 1: Are the torment that we just do to ourselves? Gareth,
Speaker 1: I used to be petrified of buttons on clothing. I
Speaker 1: have no idea why this is from Lucy. I'm terrified
Speaker 1: of the feeling of oil. I work as a chef
Speaker 1: after wed gloves all the time, so I don't come
Speaker 1: in direct contact with oil. I mean olive oil, cooking oil, sesame,
Speaker 1: all that stuff that's from Lucy. It's got the lines.

Speaker 3: was like putting some cucumbers or something out, and I
Speaker 3: heard some of the polystyrene and my stomach like I
Speaker 3: literally just had to stop. And my part it was
Speaker 3: like what's wrong? And I pointed at and he just
Speaker 3: started laughing at me. He teaches me about it all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it about that? I get that completely.
Speaker 1: It's the noise. And then it's like, what is that

Speaker 2: I have an irrational fear of tomato sauce.
Speaker 1: Are you missing out? Oh? I mean well even as
Speaker 1: far as pizza, you can't even have the tomato sauce
Speaker 1: or the pizza.
Speaker 2: Well that's the difference. It's a ketchup, so tomato ketchip sauce,
Speaker 2: so tomato paste pure, that's fine. It's the ketchup that
Speaker 2: get that really send shivers down my spine.
Speaker 1: It's not interesting now, it's just been since childhood. So
Speaker 1: you could have any of the ketch up with chips
Speaker 1: or anything.
Speaker 2: So as far as I can remember, I think I
Speaker 2: can date it back to watching a movie and I
Speaker 2: was crying. I was about four years old and Mum said,
Speaker 2: it's not blood, it's not real. It's just tomato sauce.
Speaker 2: And I think it's from then I think, yeah, this is.
Speaker 1: Actually your child mind as development at the age of four.
Speaker 1: Ward they next time you see a bottle of ketchup,
Speaker 1: you're just saying to think it was a bottle of blood.
Speaker 1: Why would I want that? My chips, so all these.
Speaker 2: Families, so at the sight of a bottle. If if
Speaker 2: we're having dinner or something and my husband wants tomato sauce,
Speaker 2: I will sit further away from him so I don't
Speaker 2: see it. And if he doesn't put it away back
Speaker 2: in the fridge, I won't touch it. I'll leave it
Speaker 2: there and then throw it out like I'll get tongues and.
Speaker 1: Hazardous the tongues Irene. Awesome stuff. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for sharing that with us this morning. No, thank you,
Speaker 1: all right, Lisa, Good morning, Lisa.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 1: All right, what's your unusual phobia?
Speaker 2: Mate?
Speaker 3: Oh? My unusual phobia is tenseful. So Christmas time is troublesome.
Speaker 3: I feel like the Grange. Although my family and friends
Speaker 3: are very supportive and no longer decorate with tins, which
Speaker 3: I really appreciate. We use other decorations. There's lots to
Speaker 3: douce from it. Christmas. I'm just avoid.
Speaker 1: People.
Speaker 3: Will it will care for my anxiety and also stop
Speaker 3: me from feeling constantly nauseous at Christmas time?
Speaker 1: And is it a texture thing?
Speaker 2: Again, it's a texture thing.
Speaker 3: I actually feel physically ill. I don't know if I'm scandaled,
Speaker 3: it'll attack me or attached to me or credible, completely irrational.
Speaker 3: And it's definitely Christmas time from basically October onwards is
Speaker 3: a nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Christmas gets early and earlier each year, more
Speaker 2: of your year is gone.
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. So I spend my time avoiding
Speaker 3: shops that have on their decorations.
Speaker 1: To every single shop, whether it's your butchers or anything,
Speaker 1: they've all got tensil in the window.
Speaker 3: That's it. I wear like those horse blinders at Christmas,
Speaker 3: Bell coming.
