WEBVTT - A Message from Christian

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell show podcast. Hey, this is Christian. I just

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>want to say, yes, there's been no podcast before I

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.159
<v Speaker 1>get into why. I also just not say I am

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>aware that if you're getting your podcast from Apple, that

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>we've just disappeared. That isn't our fault. There's some problem

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>at Apple HQ, and much as I think we're vital

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to radio, that don't quite see it the same way.

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>There are loads of people all over the world whose

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>podcasts have just disappeared. Anyway, that's boring. I haven't left

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this short messages to drone on about that, other than

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we are working with Apple to sort

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>this out asap. So sorry if we've not been there,

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I hope you can find my words. I've been off

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>sick the last couple of days, which is why there's

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>been no podcasts for the last few days. In May.

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I've had gas to enter writis the good news about

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>being so violently illiz I've lost three kilos in wait

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and when you're in your forties, that's like a bonus.

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You look at the scales and you go, wow, that's great.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>In three days, Yes, it's been so sid there's been

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>no show. We are back next week and next week

<v Speaker 1>It'll be three years of this radio show that should

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>never have worked and for the first year made me

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>question many times, will it work? Why did I do this?

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.200

<v Speaker 1>for breakfast. So yeah, thank you very much your lovely emails.

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It always humbles me that people even listen to me

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.119
<v Speaker 1>on the radio with Jack and Pats, and the fact

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>that you're even going way beyond that and actually giving

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>me money for words that I've written when you're used

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>to just joining me for free. I realized it's a

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>big test of our relationship. So trust me, that's not

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>lost on me. And the lovely messages some of you

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>that are putting in your emails, I am reading all

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of them and I am replying to all of them,

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>as some of you will see, thank you. I'm taking

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>them to my heart. They are they mean so much.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sharing some of them with the team, sharing some

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of them with my wife and kids, and as we

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>reflect on three years and what a crazy journey it

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>has been. I'm starting to selld up one of those

0:03:55.280 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>reality TV stars now my journey. Anyway, I'm going to

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>go now, the toilet is cooling. Maybe there's another half

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a kilo about to come flying out. Too much information

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>back soon. Thank you for listening. I hope you're safe.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're well wherever you are in the world.
