Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast. Hey, this is Christian. I just
Speaker 1: want to say, yes, there's been no podcast before I
Speaker 1: get into why. I also just not say I am
Speaker 1: aware that if you're getting your podcast from Apple, that
Speaker 1: we've just disappeared. That isn't our fault. There's some problem
Speaker 1: at Apple HQ, and much as I think we're vital
Speaker 1: to radio, that don't quite see it the same way.
Speaker 1: There are loads of people all over the world whose
Speaker 1: podcasts have just disappeared. Anyway, that's boring. I haven't left
Speaker 1: this short messages to drone on about that, other than
Speaker 1: the fact that we are working with Apple to sort
Speaker 1: this out asap. So sorry if we've not been there,
Speaker 1: I hope you can find my words. I've been off
Speaker 1: sick the last couple of days, which is why there's
Speaker 1: been no podcasts for the last few days. In May.
Speaker 1: I've had gas to enter writis the good news about
Speaker 1: being so violently illiz I've lost three kilos in wait
Speaker 1: and when you're in your forties, that's like a bonus.
Speaker 1: You look at the scales and you go, wow, that's great.
Speaker 1: In three days, Yes, it's been so sid there's been
Speaker 1: no show. We are back next week and next week

Speaker 1: in England, which I'm really really really excited about. Nervous
Speaker 1: as well because there's a lot of stuff I've never
Speaker 1: really talked about before on the radio that I'm talking
Speaker 1: about for the first time in a book, which is
Speaker 1: a complete me over correction, going from never talking about
