Speaker 1: I actually feel very sorry for Pats, and I was

Speaker 1: apologize to Pats. Parts has been parts has been boundy
Speaker 1: let down by you two scoundrels.
Speaker 5: Actually talk about the Titanic, these two, what happened to
Speaker 5: women and children?
Speaker 4: First in the lifeboats?
Speaker 5: Sarah j Our magnificent show manager and I were left
Speaker 5: stranded at the Sydney Airport the other night by these
Speaker 5: two who decided to take an earlier flight.
Speaker 1: I can't believe. When I was boarding my flight, I
Speaker 1: was booked on the seven thirty one Sunday, these two chances.
Speaker 1: We're hanging around the gate going we actually get on
Speaker 1: this and I was like, all right, where's Pats? And
Speaker 1: then then there was a lot of awkwardness. So where
Speaker 1: is Pats? Oh, she's been moved to a later flight
Speaker 1: at ten pm, So I just need to rewind if
Speaker 1: you're wondering what's happened. And tensions are high right now,
Speaker 1: and we've got just over two weeks left on the year,
Speaker 1: and it's like a band that's been on a very
Speaker 1: long world tour where you know you're not there's tension
Speaker 1: and cracks already there. And what happened Wednesday Tuesday in
Speaker 1: Sydney was nasty and it's your issue to make good paths.
Speaker 1: So we weren't here Tuesday morning and throughout the day,
Speaker 1: we didn't do Tuesday Show. We were in Sydney. We
Speaker 1: all left very early Tuesday morning. Ri and I we
Speaker 1: want to fly and I didn't know planes flying a
Speaker 1: quarter to six in the morning.
Speaker 3: I thought that they started laughter all.
Speaker 1: Quarter to six. And so we had a full day filming.
Speaker 1: We were filming a TV advert for the show for
Speaker 1: next year because we're going national from January next year
Speaker 1: to a filming in Sydney, and so we were there
Speaker 1: all day and the flight bag was at seven thirty nights,
Speaker 1: so I was when we got to Sydney Airport to
Speaker 1: come back home to Melbourne on Tuesday night, I was
Speaker 1: getting onto a seven thirty flight and you'll I don't
Speaker 1: know why they put you on a Jetstar one thirty.
Speaker 1: Actually I do know. It's not my business. And how
Speaker 1: this company, how this company allocates resources and looks after
Speaker 1: what I call major stakeholders. But I think.
Speaker 4: Issue with me dogs in the planes. It's almost like,
Speaker 4: here's your here's your pin pats in.
Speaker 1: You go just shocking at that's what Alex and Rio did. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so how did you two even get on a different airline?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: We know people the optics aren't great that we went
Speaker 6: to the airport together and they.
Speaker 1: Tell me this, did Alex call lambo mate? That is
Speaker 1: now quanto mate? That was my next option?
Speaker 6: Our flight was delayed till ten o'clock, which is a
Speaker 6: very very big delay.
Speaker 3: Then I've never seen this version of Alex.
Speaker 6: Alex goes into this kind of TV mode where he
Speaker 6: turns on the schmoos and the charm. He calls the
Speaker 6: sort of company, trust people he got, He's got people,
Speaker 6: he knows people. And then he manages to get two
Speaker 6: seats on an earlier flight's choice.
Speaker 3: Who did he give that the two slots too?
Speaker 1: Well? One, it's obviously to himself. Of course, those masks
Speaker 1: on your own face on the plane.
Speaker 6: I say, hey, Patsy, Patsy Sarah, if you want.
Speaker 1: Alex was there when he kind of protesting from Rio.
Speaker 3: It was there was there was a crucial detail.
Speaker 1: Two had already checked their bags in.
Speaker 3: They couldn't get their bags off the plane in time
Speaker 3: to get the plan.
Speaker 4: The next one, miny detail. I say, miny details women
Speaker 4: and children first.
Speaker 5: Oh no, and Rio said, oh, Patson, Sarah, one of you,
Speaker 5: you know, but he didn't mean it because he's kind.
Speaker 6: Of looking at the floor. It was like, we'll stick around,
Speaker 6: like police said please, no, no, we don't want to go.
Speaker 6: And as soon as we got to no, you guys go,
Speaker 6: we're like, okay, And.
Speaker 4: We did not see them for dust do you should
Speaker 4: have seen them?
Speaker 1: This is horrible day, having a really nice bonding experience.
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're going to get to do this
Speaker 1: next year. What a great end to an amazing year.
Speaker 1: We're lucky to have this experience. It's a really nice
Speaker 1: bonding experience. We're all in this TV advert together and
Speaker 1: then we just it all just fell apart from you guys.
Speaker 4: Broke up the bear.
Speaker 1: There's you know they are KOs.
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely, there's no point everybody going down with the ship.
Speaker 3: We need to put some people.
Speaker 4: Do you know what time I got home?
Speaker 1: I don't want to know.
Speaker 5: One twelve o'clock that plane pulled up to that term
Speaker 5: and all, well you were tucked in with your little Jermis.
Speaker 3: And your teuch there.
Speaker 1: I was so exhausted I fell asleep on the couch.
Speaker 1: When I woke up, the count the dog was staring
Speaker 1: at me. What is happening?
Speaker 3: Had the game not the players exactly?
Speaker 1: Now there's a part two we need to talk about
Speaker 1: next because one of the team had to break into
Speaker 1: my house to check in on my dog.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: So the other thing we need to talk about is Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's about four o'clock during the day filming an a
Speaker 1: random suburb in Sydney that apparently been chosen because it
Speaker 1: was very flat and yet it was the most hilly
Speaker 1: hilly as part of Sydney. We were way above sea level,
Speaker 1: we were higher.
Speaker 3: It's literally called the hills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bulcombe Hills. It was awful slopy, yeah, Malcombe Hills.
Speaker 1: And they were like, we have to film somewhere where
Speaker 1: it's very flat. It had a slope that entire road
Speaker 1: a huge gradient and also, by the way, so we
Speaker 1: were in Sydney when we were filming on Tuesday, it
Speaker 1: was like thirty three degrees and we were filming all
Speaker 1: day on.
Speaker 4: The road community was about three hundred and.
Speaker 1: Then that is that huge camera light on me, and
Speaker 1: I just had to work in a way I'm not
Speaker 1: used to. The talking and walking is surprisingly tricky. You know,
Speaker 1: we see people do it effortlessly on TV, like Jeremy
Speaker 1: Claranson does it incredibly well. But they were like, can
Speaker 1: you take four steps side, look to the camera, say
Speaker 1: if you're not looking for a radio show, walk two
Speaker 1: more steps, look at the funk camera, and then deliver
Speaker 1: the next two lines. And I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what the first was, and I was just thinking,
Speaker 1: just try best, and then they would go, can we
Speaker 1: just do that again this time take two and a half.
Speaker 3: Steps, and stuff like what human can be programmed like this?
Speaker 1: We can barely do it sat moving and talking. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's so tricky. But anyway, I get a
Speaker 1: message from my wife. Now, my wife and daughters are
Speaker 1: in Dubai this week seeing my wife's sister who lives there,
Speaker 1: and about four o'clock. Our time my wife is obviously
Speaker 1: waking up. Is eight am in Dubai and says you
Speaker 1: back home, And no, no, I told you I'm not
Speaker 1: leaving until seven thirty flight And suddenly then and they're
Speaker 1: about to go.
Speaker 3: And we're rolling speeding Take nineteen and.
Speaker 1: I see this, woo. I don't know the dog, nothing
Speaker 1: about how are you coping in this heat? What's it
Speaker 1: like working or set where there's over fifty crew or
Speaker 1: staring at you and nothing about me? She says, Oh
Speaker 1: the god the dog Reggie would have been alone by
Speaker 1: it all day. And I said, listen, Tina, Liz to
Speaker 1: produce it. Tina, there's about ten minutes away in Bentley,
Speaker 1: ask if she'd be kind enough to come around, pop
Speaker 1: in and see the dog. Then I'm like, I can't
Speaker 1: deal with this, Tina, at you poor thing. You need
Speaker 1: to pick up the story, Paul, did you know this? Pats,
Speaker 1: Tina went around to my house broke in. We broke
Speaker 1: in to see the cat regg and meet Larry the cats.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I did get a fraggick text from Sarah
Speaker 5: with your codes to come into your house and.
Speaker 1: One in four point three. Don't tell anyone I.
Speaker 5: Have the codes, but yes, I got a fraggic text
Speaker 5: of just go hang out with a dog for twenty minutes.
Speaker 6: And then I liked, you want me to feed him?
Speaker 3: She's like, yes, so I had to feed him.
Speaker 4: Hung out, but broke into your house and spent time
Speaker 4: with your dog and your cat.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for doing that. By the way,
Speaker 1: my wife made it really odd, said to Tina, feel
Speaker 1: free to put the TV and make yourself at home
Speaker 1: and just hang around for a couple of hours until
Speaker 1: Christian gets back without telling me. Do you imagine if
Speaker 1: like I just get oh my god, it's going to
Speaker 1: have a beer and go to sleep. I'm like another woman.
Speaker 1: She's the first time Tina. Yeah, just watch your math.
Speaker 1: So make yourself at home, you know, because Tina is
Speaker 1: a very proud Greek lady. I was hoping that there'd
Speaker 1: be some sort of on the stove bublic like slow roast.
Speaker 1: Yet it is it in a slow cook? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I thought there'd been a life mousaka freshly baked in
Speaker 1: the olven.
Speaker 3: Nothing, Tina, you left me nothing to be slily.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even cook for myself.
Speaker 3: That kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Is it strange that you just had to break in
Speaker 1: and just snoop around my house.
Speaker 4: It was changed, all the doors were closed, and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, do I pete? But I didn't.
Speaker 6: And no one tells you this's in the job interview,
Speaker 6: that you might actually have to go over going.
Speaker 1: To break into his house and just pat his cat
Speaker 1: and dog for ten minutes and.
Speaker 3: Then leave or hang out.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, did you tell Tinas to hang around as I
Speaker 1: got back? I thought it might be nice you did
Speaker 1: a catch up. I was just cooked, Tina? What don't
Speaker 1: we get a takeaway back and hang out on the.
Speaker 3: Couch she's got yours.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's have then seen someone leave at half eleven
Speaker 1: at nights, some random Greek lady. Thank you, Tina.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, Good.
Speaker 1: Morning to Matthew. Christian. Job applicants for your show must
Speaker 1: have some breaking enter experience and light pets. Well, I
Speaker 1: got dog and a cat, and Tina's allergic to cats,
Speaker 1: so perhaps she had to take a tech before breaking
Speaker 1: into my house.
Speaker 4: That is above and beyond it is I.
Speaker 1: See, I don't think it is. I think it's a
Speaker 1: bare minimum suddenly getting around call from not even me,
Speaker 1: from my wife on FaceTime from another country, going you
Speaker 1: just pop in and check in on the dog. That
Speaker 1: you should drop everything.
Speaker 3: You're obligated and if someone invites.
Speaker 1: You to watch TV RO then kick the shoes off.
Speaker 1: You do that, Shame on you, Tina. It's actually quite rude.
Speaker 1: When I got back, Oh there's no one here.
Speaker 3: Too good for the Tv'm.
Speaker 1: A little bit lonely, you know. We'd been nice to
Speaker 1: have someone to have a cup of tea. All right.
Speaker 1: Tone for this week's lost in translation. This is where
Speaker 1: we get big movies, and when they're translated into different languages,
Speaker 1: sometimes the meaning of the movie's title gets lost. So
Speaker 1: last week we had the hideous canine French version of Anyone?
Speaker 1: Remember coyot?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, this was a bit easier. German version of
Speaker 1: the Smurfs was known in Germany as very annoying blue people.
Speaker 1: All right, brand new ones. We go to France. How
Speaker 1: to lose a guy by.
Speaker 3: Being very annoying tricky one. Huh, could be any rom com? Yes,
Speaker 3: it is how to Lose a Guy?
Speaker 4: And is it twenty eight days or something? Yeah, takes
Speaker 4: me a little longer.
Speaker 1: Another tricky one. Now we've got to China. The boy
Speaker 1: who hid inside a lion? What the boy who hid
Speaker 1: inside a lion? Pie that life of the lion. Get
Speaker 1: this straight to hid inside a lion? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: but they're all together literally, so you've got lion which
Speaker 1: in the wardrobe. No, okay, another very famous lion, lion king. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's how the Chinese people see it.
Speaker 1: They go, I love this movie. Essentially, it's about a
Speaker 1: boy hiding in a line. Yes, angry green uncle. The
Speaker 1: Germans are back.
Speaker 3: Oh, angry green uncle. Oh the Gridge.
Speaker 1: No, I guess angry green uncle. Think about someone big
Speaker 1: and angry green. No, no, bigger, strong girl. I love
Speaker 1: that angry green uncle. Is he anyone's Maybe? I don't
Speaker 1: think he's Mark Ruffalo or definitely was not move out
Speaker 1: an angry family member. He's Dr David Banner. It's not
Speaker 1: Uncle Dave. But in Germany that's how they saw it.
Speaker 1: Sad Clown Wants Friends in Brazil, Big movie. Brazilian version
Speaker 1: of it was sad Clown wants friends.
Speaker 4: It's not it is he wasn't friends with anyone.
Speaker 1: Terrify No. Another fact that Patsy knows the story well
Speaker 1: enough in it it was actually don't have any mates
Speaker 1: to hang out with. The guy coming over from the
Speaker 1: barbie this weekend, the latch.
Speaker 3: I walked out of it. I went to see it
Speaker 3: in the cinemas.
Speaker 6: As soon as we're five minutes in, said.
Speaker 1: Watch think about the sad clown recent movie. Oh, think
Speaker 1: about clown. It looks like that Psycho.
Speaker 6: We got very good.
Speaker 1: Old men fight about a ring, A lot of the rings. Yes,
Speaker 1: in France, old men fight about a ring. Handsome vampire
Speaker 1: boy and the girl who won't smile.
Speaker 4: Oh is that the Tom cruis.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: There's two types of people that like those movies, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to point out who they are for standards,
Speaker 1: handsome vampire boy and the girl who won't smile. I you,
Speaker 1: Rea would get to.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Have you brought my stuff? On the Black Friday sales
Speaker 1: the Sweet Pets?
Speaker 5: Look, I did buy a Dyson because I had my
Speaker 5: eye on this Dison and it was you know, they're great,
Speaker 5: but it's a big outlay and it was half price,
Speaker 5: and I said to them, sorry, I'm so distracted. There
Speaker 5: is a light bulb in my studio that is flashing
Speaker 5: on and off like a disco. I'm sorry, I'm really distracted.
Speaker 5: Just blow already, all right, just go out. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: it was hard price, it's.
Speaker 1: Not well today it's fine. A pro would not talk
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 4: It's really distracting.
Speaker 1: They detonated a bomb once outside my radio station in London,
Speaker 1: a terrace bomb, and I still remained on air, flickering bulb.
Speaker 1: But you're like, I can tell you that's drifting off.
Speaker 1: She continue, like cooling off. The pedal was coming away
Speaker 1: off the story. We all heard it. She started off
Speaker 1: like this, And are you getting bored of your own story?
Speaker 1: If so, that's great, you're now self aware. It's boding
Speaker 1: well for.
Speaker 4: Next year's annoying. But yeah, half price and we don't
Speaker 4: kind of essentially.
Speaker 1: What about the light bulb's gone off and my disattention now,
Speaker 1: So anyway, you got that, you've got the vacuum.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so many good bargains.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, how do you unsubscribe to a radio percent on?
Speaker 1: We need to ask engineers? What can I do? Sometimes
Speaker 1: says you know, we need what's the oscars music?
Speaker 4: Find me up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like to thank my acting coach. We're getting
Speaker 3: those giant hooks.
Speaker 1: Ria what's it like owning your first place? And so
Speaker 1: you got the keys Monday, Yes.
Speaker 3: We've got the keys Monday.
Speaker 6: I wasn't really prepared for how daunting that first sort
Speaker 6: of few minutes when you open the keys to the
Speaker 6: house and it's completely empty and it's so like deathly quiet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. So's some moments in life where suddenly
Speaker 1: you you you cross into a different part of your
Speaker 1: life and it's like a really big canvas and it's
Speaker 1: all your responsibility about what you do with that. This
Speaker 1: is your problem because you're been renting for years where
Speaker 1: someone else will fix if something's going wrong. Now it's
Speaker 1: all your responsibility everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and just the you know, being used to a
Speaker 6: tiny little shoe box apartment and then and you step
Speaker 6: in and it's almost like you step into Oh I've
Speaker 6: stepping into a literally steping into a different phase.
Speaker 1: Of your life and the adult world. Yes, and it's money,
Speaker 1: it's mortgages, and it's like everything that you want to
Speaker 1: fix or repair comes with a bill and then effort
Speaker 1: about finding people out to do it as well. And
Speaker 1: so what's it been like? Are you moving in gradually?
Speaker 3: We're moving in gradually.
Speaker 6: I had a really nice moment when we were putting
Speaker 6: up our photos for the first time, and that just
Speaker 6: like had a lot of photos of family, reminded me
Speaker 6: of our family home and like all the amazing memories
Speaker 6: we had there, and it's like, oh nice, we can
Speaker 6: you know, we can make our own memories here and
Speaker 6: maybe have a family here and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: So that was a lovely moment.
Speaker 1: The big thing that everyone wants to know is have
Speaker 1: you found the NMI number on the meter? I must
Speaker 1: have had a couple thousand messages of like, where you
Speaker 1: find it? Call this person.
Speaker 6: We have We didn't fight it on the meter, but
Speaker 6: we have the number. The old owners found it on
Speaker 6: their old invoice. They were kind enough to send it through.
Speaker 6: So now I'm very happy to announce that we have
Speaker 6: power in.
Speaker 3: The Thank you, Thank you. Wow a moment. Yes, I
Speaker 3: can go on. We did. That was a big win.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, we did fail our first sort of ride of passage,
Speaker 6: which was beg night. I forgot that it's a thing.
Speaker 6: I'm so used to bin shoots. And then yesterday I
Speaker 6: was like, oh, I wonder what night the bins are.
Speaker 6: I look it up on the website. It was the
Speaker 6: night before.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I tell you what a modern life hell
Speaker 1: as have grown up is missing? Ben, Oh my, it's
Speaker 1: a problem then for two weeks, yes, yeah, it's hellish.
Speaker 1: We don't ever want to be in that situation.
Speaker 3: Well luckily, thank god.
Speaker 6: And we still haven't met our neighbors because it's been
Speaker 6: very quick in and out. Our neighbors who've never met,
Speaker 6: was so kind to put our six bins out and
Speaker 6: six six bins. I don't got red to green two?
Speaker 3: So is it a family of like eighteen?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's but they're quite little.
Speaker 6: So there's two little too little red, too little yellow,
Speaker 6: two little green, and a purple.
Speaker 1: I've never seen the purple.
Speaker 3: I think purple is glass.
Speaker 1: We don't get that my area.
Speaker 6: But they took them out for us and they put
Speaker 6: them back as well them.
Speaker 1: You need to get them a bottle of wine or
Speaker 1: something going saying hello and thank you. What a lovely
Speaker 1: thing to do. By the way, life hack on my
Speaker 1: phone as a regular occurring every seven days. It's in
Speaker 1: my calendar what bins to are to go out? Just
Speaker 1: automated and then it sort of sends me a text
Speaker 1: message at five o'clock on that evening the day before
Speaker 1: to put the green one out, put the one with
Speaker 1: the red hat.
Speaker 3: Out, purple one out.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, otherwise you just you never want to be
Speaker 1: that guy who's staring down the street. I want to
Speaker 1: be the guy that they're staring down the street at me,
Speaker 1: be the bin leader in life.
Speaker 6: I'm already anxious about forgetting it for your phone.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, I.
Speaker 1: Can automate in our life for the better.
Speaker 2: That Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Just talking about ben nights. Yeah, just tuned in. You
Speaker 1: missed a real bomber and of a break. Ben nights
Speaker 1: are a big part of everybody's lives. What what do
Speaker 1: you think like megastars do like a listers. I took
Speaker 1: it like Brad Pitt, because then what do they do
Speaker 1: They have staff who would deal with that.
Speaker 6: You wouldn't have like a specific bin guy though, like
Speaker 6: you would have to.
Speaker 1: Probably still still have big nights, yes exactly. Clem will
Speaker 1: go out one day, you know.
Speaker 3: I think they still have to do it.
Speaker 6: I think Hemsworth is still taking out his recycling and so.
Speaker 1: I want to imagine that world, don't you.
Speaker 6: I would imagine that's a great business idea, someone who
Speaker 6: just comes around and does your bins for you.
Speaker 4: And services them like, cleans them, keep them free.
Speaker 1: Now tell me this, so we move in two weeks time,
Speaker 1: is it my responsibility to have those bins sparkling clean?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 3: Ours weren't?
Speaker 6: Ours would fall to the brim of all this they left.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel greas It's like the person who you're
Speaker 1: buying the housewom it's their responsibility to clean the bins.
Speaker 6: I don't think you're no. I think you can leave them,
Speaker 6: just don't ye as long as they're in working order.
Speaker 6: I don't think you have to have a fully cleaned DA.
Speaker 1: They are in working order. Christian. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is true or not, but my eight year old
Speaker 1: son is listening to this and he just told me
Speaker 1: that recycling bins the days and dates coincides with a
Speaker 1: full moon phase.

Speaker 1: Listen to your podcast on Wednesday the twenty six. You're
Speaker 1: talking about ironing. I want to let you in a
Speaker 1: hack I learned years ago and never iron any garment
Speaker 1: in eight years. It makes my ironing so much easier.
Speaker 1: You grab yourself a can of Fabulon sold at Coal's,
Speaker 1: Woolies or Bunnings. Once you've washed the clothing, take it
Speaker 1: out the washer, hang it on a coat hanger, spray
Speaker 1: the garment in fabon, crisp ball, any iron aid spray,
Speaker 1: and simply let it hang outside to dry. As the
Speaker 1: garment is drying, the wrinkles drop out perfect her pleated
Speaker 1: school skirts and dresses to Patsy, say goodbye to your
Speaker 1: iron and ironing boards.
Speaker 3: If that is truly that is the best piece of this.
Speaker 1: At the moment, t shirts and shirts when I wash them,
Speaker 1: I put them string to hanger and hang on stuff.
Speaker 3: They stall a little bit.
Speaker 1: You can tell, no very creasy, but that.
Speaker 6: If that is true, that is a life changer. That's yes,
Speaker 6: I'm very excited about.

Speaker 7: I couldn't get a flight home, so I spent seven
Speaker 7: days on the trip with my friends taking awkward photos
Speaker 7: of me smiling out a tooth, and then I then
Speaker 7: I got home and I had to wear a tooth
Speaker 7: on a plate for a whole year. I'd get to work,
Speaker 7: i'd go on dates, I'd forgotten to wear the tooth.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's like you're dating Nanny McFee.

Speaker 7: Oh just chilling in the water. Just the lokay way
Speaker 7: to start the day.
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, a great time. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: calling to enjoy your day and well done pleasure.
Speaker 2: Thank you Christian O'Connell Show Gone podcast.
Speaker 1: Let's give us a go. This might not work as
Speaker 1: I hoped it would. I just want to flag that
Speaker 1: up now already. Just there's a buzz of frantic hysteria
Speaker 1: that doesn't need to be present. Ah, okay, this is
Speaker 1: the intention. The impact often in life is very different
Speaker 1: than intention, but that the intention is beyond. So here's
Speaker 1: the thing, right, there's a guy on reception here. He's
Speaker 1: called Josh, and he's been here a couple of years,
Speaker 1: and that is his role. That is his title. And
Speaker 1: that is what we do in the world, isn't it.
Speaker 1: We reduce each other to titles and things like that.
Speaker 1: Because the dudest question I've asked somebody is what do
Speaker 1: you do for a living? It's such a boring question
Speaker 1: because then you grade it. And he finally says, guy,
Speaker 1: you should go and toll that guy's doctor. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can say somehow he's better than a receptionist. So Josh
Speaker 1: is he works on reception, but he's not a receptionist.
Speaker 1: He is and he isn't. And I'm sure you've worked
Speaker 1: with people like this where and I'd like to think
Speaker 1: we're all like this. We're not a title, we're a person.
Speaker 1: But Josh has this how described it like a contagious,
Speaker 1: effervescent energy where he's just a real He just vibes
Speaker 1: people up. Yeah, anyone, anyone. You're calling and you haven't
Speaker 1: won your prize and you want to know where it
Speaker 1: is and you're a bit agitated. That guy won't make
Speaker 1: you feel an idiot for calling. He'd be happy to
Speaker 1: take your call and he'll help you and he'll reassure you.
Speaker 1: He's like that every single day. He's the most positive,
Speaker 1: kind hearted soul in this station. And so when I
Speaker 1: was thinking about next year and the show and what
Speaker 1: I want on my team, he embodies what I'm looking for,
Speaker 1: and that's why I've hired him to join our team. Now,
Speaker 1: on paper, that's a crazy decision. He has no radio experience,
Speaker 1: and actually, what we're doing in January with the National Show,
Speaker 1: it's a big moment in history. It's a big moment
Speaker 1: in all of our lives. We're getting to break new ground,
Speaker 1: the first ever national breakfast show in this country. But
Speaker 1: Josh will bring something to this team. He will, you know.
Speaker 1: And he reminds me of when I hired you. You
Speaker 1: had no radio experience, but I'll hide you because you
Speaker 1: had this in your own way. What Josh has.
Speaker 3: He is a ray of life.
Speaker 6: Like as soon as if you can be having the
Speaker 6: worst day ever, you talk to Josh, You'll be having
Speaker 6: the best day ever. He just gives so much of
Speaker 6: himself in every conversation, every interaction.
Speaker 3: I love him. He is an absolute joy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I've created a role for him. He's
Speaker 1: head of the community. And what I told this is like,
Speaker 1: what's that one? I don't know, but I said, you
Speaker 1: and I will work that out together. But whatever you do,
Speaker 1: I know our listeners are going to benefit from that.
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. So here's the thing. Today's last
Speaker 1: down reception and he's he uses the PA system like
Speaker 1: a lot of receptionists to sort of do announcements about
Speaker 1: stuff like this to snack trolley's coming round. It is,
Speaker 1: isn't there? It's fancy dress Friday and all that, all
Speaker 1: this stuff, right, But he does he puts a lot
Speaker 1: of love and energy into it, and so I thought
Speaker 1: it'd be nice for him to use his beloved PA.
Speaker 1: Today's coming the last time he uses that PA system
Speaker 1: to actually announce to the radio station out in the
Speaker 1: office that today's is last day, and to do his
Speaker 1: speech live on air right now and live around the
Speaker 1: office here at gold FMHQ on his PA system. So
Speaker 1: hopefully we can hear this now. Kate in a you
Speaker 1: and position? Are you with Josh?
Speaker 4: I'm here?
Speaker 1: I am with Josh.
Speaker 4: Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: I can hear you? Josh? Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: I can hear you?
Speaker 1: Josh? Are you excited about leaving your old life behind
Speaker 1: and joining us? Yes, we're really excited. Josh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so excited. Let's fly, guys, Let's fly.
Speaker 1: What you're saying that we've been grounded for seven years ago,
Speaker 1: but it's not like i've been, you know, costing?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe I can fly.
Speaker 1: Already. All right, Josh, why don't you do your leave speech? Now?
Speaker 1: Off you go here? Ye hear yee.
Speaker 3: It's time for me.
Speaker 8: Josh the receptionist, chocolate jar curator and friend to all
Speaker 8: who ever entered the reception of Gold FM, a bid
Speaker 8: farewell to the reception desk. It's been nothing short of
Speaker 8: an honor and a privilege, and I'd like to send
Speaker 8: out some thank you. Thank you to the comfy office

Speaker 8: the bowl of mentos that sits in the reception for
Speaker 8: being the best conversation starter ever. And thank you to
Speaker 8: every complaint call, good or bad, rain or shine.
Speaker 3: You know who you are.
Speaker 8: Being a receptionist has changed my life and through the
Speaker 8: thousands of hellos, goodbyes, compliments given and received the people
Speaker 8: that walk through the glass doors at everything, and one
Speaker 8: thing that will stay with me is anything can come
Speaker 8: from a simple hello. I Josh the receptionist, hereby abdicate
Speaker 8: my throne for a lifelong dream.
Speaker 3: Helcome the Christian Show.

Speaker 1: you start properly with us next week. That's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a bit of training.
Speaker 8: You know, some show people how to order things and
Speaker 8: where things are, where the milk gets ordered from.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, we're doing the training for you to give
Speaker 1: misunderstanding the training. The training is for us to train you.
Speaker 1: It's not about ordering milk. That doesn't matter. Mate. Okay,

Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell Show Podcast.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Nicole, Christian just listen to show today and
Speaker 1: talking about the National Show. When you're back in January.
Speaker 1: What's going to happen to the Daily show numbers. I've
Speaker 1: been really thinking about this over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: It's one of the most commonly asked questions. I get,
Speaker 1: we're going to do it, They're going to go to zero.
Speaker 1: I'm respect to that. Actually, when we are back in January,
Speaker 1: we've obviously had seven and a half years with you
Speaker 1: guys here in Melbourne, but I don't want anyone tuning
Speaker 1: in for the first time and thinking that, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: not welcome here. So it goes to zero. So it
Speaker 1: becomes show one on January nineteenth, and I kind of
Speaker 1: like it, like we're beginning over again, and so we're
Speaker 1: continuing with what been doing for the last seven a half
Speaker 1: years for you guys, but also making it available to
Speaker 1: anyone and everyone. So, yeah, we go to zero. I
Speaker 1: think it's done quite nice about Yeah, I like it
Speaker 1: starting fresh. Yeah, this is a new fresh. So yeah, Nicole,
Speaker 1: that's the answer. And how things at home? How's how
Speaker 1: did you get on in the exams?
Speaker 3: Patsy, Well, they're finished.
Speaker 5: So her last one was yesterday, which was voice, so
