Speaker 2: an amaze that's so quiet and I saw it and
Speaker 2: you were Honestly, I was so proud proud of you, Patsy.
Speaker 2: You are you amazing on it and you really were
Speaker 2: so confident and powerful in what you were saying. You
Speaker 2: were owning your your message. And I get the feeling
Speaker 2: that you're really sort of lit up at the moment
Speaker 2: what you're doing with the with the podcast. So you
Speaker 2: should be so.
Speaker 3: Proud, you know why, because I'm just speaking my truth,
Speaker 3: like I'm just speaking at how it is.
Speaker 2: It's taken you a long time. People should know that
Speaker 2: it's not it's not been easy for you to get
Speaker 2: to that. You know, we started to wat you doing
Speaker 2: a podcast about two years ago, and now it is
Speaker 2: the right time for you to do it. No, it is, yeah,
Speaker 2: and now now look what's happening for you. It's a moment.
Speaker 3: It's so good to be able to add to the
Speaker 3: debate and get, you know, be part of part of
Speaker 3: what I feel is a really major movement in that space.
Speaker 3: It's really exciting because I think finally we're going to
Speaker 3: make a difference. So yeah, it was great.
Speaker 2: So what happened then, because obviously I didn't know until
Speaker 2: early yesterday evening, Patsy just sent me a screenshot of
Speaker 2: the project saying, so this is happening in that typical
Speaker 2: bombastard way she has. Why don't you send the message
Speaker 2: going hey, I'm on the project. I'd watch it. At
Speaker 2: first I was staring at it, like what is happening?
Speaker 2: Because I was making tea?
Speaker 4: Is this one of a photo shop?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not great with the gifts. Does she mean
Speaker 2: the homer one where he disappears into the hedge? She
Speaker 2: just got the wrong one, that's the default one. But
Speaker 2: so what happened Patsy?
Speaker 3: It happened very quickly, So they really They rang me
Speaker 3: about midday and said, hey, we're thinking of it. It
Speaker 3: was on the back of the act you yesterday doing
Speaker 3: that story about wanting to introduce menopause leave or leave
Speaker 3: for women yes with minopause or endometriosis. And they knew
Speaker 3: about my podcast and loved my podcast and rang and said, listen,
Speaker 3: we really need like just someone to speak truthfully about
Speaker 3: how it is for them in the workplace. And I
Speaker 3: said I'd love the opportunity. And so then they confirmed
Speaker 3: maybe a couple of hours later. So it was all
Speaker 3: very quick. So I had to rush home get my
Speaker 3: dry cleaning, and got home and Christive, what are you
Speaker 3: gonna wear?
Speaker 2: What about hair?
Speaker 3: What about makeup? I said, it's fine, it's fine, And
Speaker 3: then I will.
Speaker 2: I've got to say this. That's pink power out that
Speaker 2: you had on. It actually looked like someone running for office. No, no,
Speaker 2: you just looked on point. It did not look like
Speaker 2: you'd had to throw something together for the last guys.
Speaker 2: Was that already dry cleaned or did you just threaten
Speaker 2: the local dry cleaners, Go you've got ten minutes, go
Speaker 2: press it now.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: I had to pick it up at the dry cleaners
Speaker 3: on the way. But and then I rang Mom and Dad.
Speaker 3: I thought I better let Mom and Dad because they'll
Speaker 3: be very disappointed if then they're not a cross.
Speaker 2: They must have been so proud of how's this?
Speaker 3: So when I rang Dad on the way home, he
Speaker 3: was crying, my Dad's eighty two next, that's just that love,
Speaker 3: that's just amazing crying, and I thought I'd get it,
Speaker 3: and you know, he was so proud. But it's so funny.
Speaker 3: On the way I rang them about four o'clock in
Speaker 3: the afternoon and I said, now, Dad, it's on the
Speaker 3: project and he goes, oh, yes, that's Channel ten. I'll
Speaker 3: put it on now, And I said, Dad, I'm not
Speaker 3: on for like another tree out of.
Speaker 2: Bread box and all those miserable bleak detective shows. The
Speaker 2: Brutner's turning out not stop at the moment.
Speaker 3: We had it on from four o'clock, I said to Mom,
Speaker 3: telling it's always my dad, and then it's funny. So
Speaker 3: Chris had to do the school pickup instead of me,
Speaker 3: so we had a bit of juggling to do. And
Speaker 3: he doesn't normally pick up boards because he's normally you know,
Speaker 3: working at that.
Speaker 2: She must be spook to see him there.
Speaker 3: Well, she gets in the card. Do you know what
Speaker 3: she said to him, not where's mum? She goes who's died?
Speaker 3: She wants someone and died and lucky.
Speaker 2: Look at you if you're not a regular, if your
Speaker 2: dad's not a regular on the drop off. When I
Speaker 2: used to sometimes go and pick the girls up in
Speaker 2: the afternoon, people would look at you like something has
Speaker 2: happened mission, because that's a mistake that he's here. It's
Speaker 2: even the odd charters when they sometimes call you as
Speaker 2: that second EMENCI backup number. You know, when the school
Speaker 2: called me, I'm like, what do you want?
Speaker 3: It's not my department.
Speaker 2: So Patsy, you must be you must be buzzing today.
Speaker 2: But when you come home when you were going home
Speaker 2: last night, you did so well on that.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: I'm really pleased that we're talking about it and then
Speaker 3: it's out in the space. That's what I'm really happy about.
Speaker 3: I think it's a really exciting time for women in
Speaker 3: general and workplaces. We've got this opportunity to make change
Speaker 3: and make a difference, a difference for our daughters and
Speaker 3: other generations. And I think that's just the best part
Speaker 3: of it. It's it's not a dirty word anymore. It's
Speaker 3: okay to talk about it. It's just like any other
Speaker 3: medical condition.
Speaker 2: So no, won't do you start the conversation. So perhaps
Speaker 2: people's tuned in, they've done, or we talk about telling
Speaker 2: about your podcast some where they can go hold yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's rage against the metopause. It's on the free
Speaker 3: iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts. And episode
Speaker 3: three drops tomorrow. Who is the imaging Crump and she's
Speaker 3: a Melbourne University editor and ABC presenter. She was absolutely
Speaker 3: brilliant and it's topical because it's about workplace and she
Speaker 3: admitted to having a hot flush live on National TV,
Speaker 3: which is something that no one has ever done before.
Speaker 3: So I bow at her. I think I think that's
Speaker 3: tremendous and I think she's set the agenda now for
Speaker 3: all women in workplaces to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Well do Patsy.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell's show, So Gold has been once during the

Speaker 2: big American broadcasters website and the headline was, why are
Speaker 2: the Australians so damn good in the pool? They are
Speaker 2: not enjoying it. You're really take it. You always dominate
Speaker 2: in the pool, but you're really taking to the Americans
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 4: Although and this will make you so angry Byanker's family

Speaker 4: proud of Team USA. They were saying the same thing. Oh, like,
Speaker 4: we didn't know Strain's so good at swimming. It's so

Speaker 4: you talking about, They're not even in the top five,
Speaker 4: going no, no, no, what what we're seeing is USA
Speaker 4: on top of the medal tally. The news sites and
Speaker 4: the TV programs in the US just go by total medals,

Speaker 4: the world do it, which is who's leading in the
Speaker 4: gold medals. You are hitting the USA does have.

Speaker 1: Winner Christian Connall's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell's show. About two weeks ago, a lot of
Speaker 2: you were calling in trying to help Chap Post get
Speaker 2: his wife's birthday present sorted out. She's coming back from
Speaker 2: America and we're trying to find you. You had a
Speaker 2: dream of vision, really of matching tracksuits.
Speaker 4: Cool matching tracksuits that she could wear, I could wear,
Speaker 4: and now two year old son could wear. It's really
Speaker 4: hard to find the baby version of any cool tracksuit.
Speaker 2: So did you go to Rebel Sports?
Speaker 4: Because they went to Sport and they end up getting
Speaker 4: her her cool tracksuit from Rebel Sport, But I didn't
Speaker 4: get her any matching ones in the end, but she's
Speaker 4: still got a cool track for us.
Speaker 2: So I just got a tracksuit from her husband. She
Speaker 2: got more, but did a Gordion anything.
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't his birthday, but I thought you were
Speaker 4: going to get matching fully, yes, well that was the
Speaker 4: idea of the vision.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's just half of the court of so do
Speaker 2: you get matching stuff? No love, So okay, now we
Speaker 2: understand it fills like the snow globe. You had a vision.
Speaker 2: Now it got shaken up. It's just a track suit
Speaker 2: outfit for your wife.
Speaker 4: By the time I couldn't get Gordy's matching, for me
Speaker 4: to get a matching then felt like I was particularly
Speaker 4: leaving him out of the power. So it felt wrong
Speaker 4: for me to get a match And.
Speaker 2: It's worth putting out. They were away for two weeks
Speaker 2: and you were home alone for two weeks. You know
Speaker 2: you could have easy logs off those sites you're looking
Speaker 2: at and sorted this out, so your wife just opens
Speaker 2: up a tracksuit set.
Speaker 4: The mistake I made was people kept sending me versions
Speaker 4: of matching tracksuits online. But you had to remember I
Speaker 4: was buying this the day before.
Speaker 2: Nothing like that sort of planning. And it's good that
Speaker 2: you tell them off. Put the onus back on them.
Speaker 4: Hey Lely said on the show, I need to go
Speaker 4: out and purchase this today somewhere in the Melbourne area.
Speaker 2: Down then for helping. So what happened on her birthday?
Speaker 4: So I got the tracksuits, I got two books which
Speaker 4: she loved. Candle which actually I have a complain about
Speaker 4: the candle. I won't mention the brand name, but they'll
Speaker 4: know he can.
Speaker 2: But we'll just say goodbye now Pats and I will
Speaker 2: still be here, but you'd be long gone. I'm podcasting Afterlife.
Speaker 2: What happened to Jack Posts? He's running his own podcast
Speaker 2: and company. Oh my god, I was so so she
Speaker 2: worse than death. I know, I know he's trying to
Speaker 2: get me and patsils against. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4: Christian me again, just looking for times.
Speaker 2: This week I moved back to England. So what's up
Speaker 2: with the candle?
Speaker 4: So it was a really nice candle. Expensive candle came
Speaker 4: in some elaborate packaging that is a cardboard cylinder and
Speaker 4: the lyd pretty much is the whole all packaging. So
Speaker 4: imagine imagine a closh where you're lifting it off.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was like that, like an actual snow globe,
Speaker 2: but it's like a U shape.
Speaker 4: So you pull off the whole cylinder lid and then
Speaker 4: what's left is just the base and the candle standing
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 2: It is revealed like a prestige to show the problem is.
Speaker 4: Then they put it in a paper bag. After you've
Speaker 4: bought it. You take the paper bag home, and then
Speaker 4: when I'm getting it out to wrap it, I reach
Speaker 4: into the paper bag, grab the lid, start to lift
Speaker 4: it out, but the lid is slowly coming out of
Speaker 4: its cylinder, and the candle drops and smashes.
Speaker 2: Ah, So she wouldn't go and bought a new one.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't have time. I didn't didn't have time,
Speaker 4: so now I had.
Speaker 2: To take time. She in the room, she's knocking at
Speaker 2: the door.
Speaker 4: There's no there's no time to go and get another candle.
Speaker 4: She she came straight after the show Wednesday morning. I
Speaker 4: was trying to wrap on Tuesday night, so I had
Speaker 4: to give her the gifts without the candle part of it.
Speaker 4: But then I said after she she's thanked me and said,
Speaker 4: what a great birthday.
Speaker 2: I really need new Tracky decks and sports matching wind
Speaker 2: Gina classy, did you get a Chanston there's other stores there?
Speaker 4: Like after she unwrapped the gifts, I said, and there's
Speaker 4: a candle but it's a bit broken at the top.
Speaker 2: The most underwhelming seeing this the most underwhelming.
Speaker 4: The handle is not part of the present, so it's
Speaker 4: just it's just.
Speaker 2: To put those trackydacks on now.
Speaker 4: So it still works as a candle, but it's just
Speaker 4: hip and broken at the well, it's broken glass at
Speaker 4: the top anyway. So that was two weeks ago and
Speaker 4: we've been using the candle. The candle itself works perfectly,
Speaker 4: but now that the candle's burnt down so much under
Speaker 4: the broken glass when you reach into try to light,
Speaker 4: it's actually very dangerous and yesterday.
Speaker 2: To your boy as well, get scatter, but trying to get,
Speaker 2: you know, the sword out of the stone. What was
Speaker 2: the flavor of the candle? By the way, the flavors
Speaker 2: are for fig French cad.
Speaker 4: It's called French cad.
Speaker 2: What is a cad?
Speaker 3: Is that I've heard of French peer.
Speaker 4: But French just said when I was looking at all
Speaker 4: the flavors, Yeah, absolutely yes it does.
Speaker 2: What's a cad? Is it type of this? Cad?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Cedar? French? Really? Google tell us some more? What's the
Speaker 2: what are the notes?
Speaker 1: Berries?
Speaker 4: So it smell very nice, you just can't light it.
Speaker 4: It is the thought that counts that.

Speaker 2: who's listened to the show, not just here in Melbourne,
Speaker 2: but wherever you are. Ian Is in the UK. Christian,
Speaker 2: I'm emailing you regarding your recent shocking claim that Tim
Speaker 2: TAM's were better than the bars you were raised with
Speaker 2: Penguin bars. I thought I might get some of these
Speaker 2: as a fellow bread I was shocked at your blasphemer.
Speaker 2: I never earned these Tim Tams, not otherwise I bothered,
Speaker 2: but I was more taken aback. A fellow citizen had
Speaker 2: turned his back on his motherland, a stakebole snack from
Speaker 2: his childhood. In every lunch box there was a penguin
Speaker 2: bar and a crap joke on the wrapper. Christian heed,
Speaker 2: that's trying to fit into his adopted land, I thought.
Speaker 2: And then fast forward just to yesterday. I asked to
Speaker 2: pick up the obligatory bread and milk by my wife
Speaker 2: on the way home, and then I saw it Tim
Speaker 2: Tams in the shop in Tesco's biggest supermarket chain in
Speaker 2: the UK. I toyed for a while. No, I'm not
Speaker 2: giving in. Even turned to cove with the remaining far
Speaker 2: superior penguin bars, and the curiosity got the better of me.
Speaker 2: I caved. I paid my two pounds fifty for a
Speaker 2: pack I didn't wait until I got home. I ripped
Speaker 2: over the packet in the van. Wait they're not even
Speaker 2: individually wrapped at least tight on was in Australia. Typical
Speaker 2: lazy ossies, one of the world's hottest countries. Yes, so
Speaker 2: reckless when it comes to protecting their chocolate bars. I
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting much. First by weird crunch, not a penguin.
Speaker 2: Then it hit me, hang on a minute, lighter Loveia,
Speaker 2: don't say it tastier, damn it. Christian was right. I
Speaker 2: tell them home to the family. Maybe I was wrong.
Speaker 2: They all love them, are gudging me. Well done to
Speaker 2: honors Christians still enjoy the show. Please can you send
Speaker 2: me in the family some more tim Tams because they're
Speaker 2: bloody expensive here, just do it, the UK tim tam.
