00:00:21,965 --> 00:00:29,805
Speaker 1: O'Connell show podcast. Thank you very much as to start

5
00:00:29,845 --> 00:00:33,005
Speaker 1: of week three for us on our new national show,

6
00:00:33,125 --> 00:00:36,325
Speaker 1: five Cities one radio show. And as people come into

7
00:00:36,325 --> 00:00:38,565
Speaker 1: the show maybe don't know too much about us. We've

8
00:00:38,604 --> 00:00:40,205
Speaker 1: been in Melbourne for the last seven and a half

9
00:00:40,285 --> 00:00:42,964
Speaker 1: years and now we're in Sydney, we're in Brisbane, we're

10
00:00:43,004 --> 00:00:46,084
Speaker 1: in Adelaide, and we are in Perth, and we like

11
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:47,925
Speaker 1: to think that hopefully, if we get this right with

12
00:00:48,004 --> 00:00:50,804
Speaker 1: you guys, we're building something a bit different here. If

13
00:00:50,805 --> 00:00:53,044
Speaker 1: you are new to the show, I can down from

14
00:00:53,125 --> 00:00:55,404
Speaker 1: your messages and your emails that you're saying you are

15
00:00:55,445 --> 00:00:58,525
Speaker 1: picking up that we do something different about the way

16
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:00,525
Speaker 1: we put the show together. And I'm not saying that

17
00:01:00,565 --> 00:01:03,205
Speaker 1: means it's better, It's just that it's different. I'm not

18
00:01:03,285 --> 00:01:06,205
Speaker 1: into buying your ears. We don't give away tons and

19
00:01:06,245 --> 00:01:09,165
Speaker 1: tons of money two hundred and three thousand, hundred thousand

20
00:01:09,205 --> 00:01:11,525
Speaker 1: dollars to listen to the show. We're not about stunts,

21
00:01:11,565 --> 00:01:13,685
Speaker 1: We're not about chasing headlines and not interested in show.

22
00:01:13,685 --> 00:01:15,885
Speaker 1: But it's gone, so it's about something else. And the

23
00:01:15,885 --> 00:01:18,165
Speaker 1: best way we can sum it up is we call

24
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:19,725
Speaker 1: it the bright side of the dial.

25
00:01:20,525 --> 00:01:28,245
Speaker 2: Always look on the broad side of the dial. The

26
00:01:28,365 --> 00:01:36,725
Speaker 2: Christian o'connal Show will make you smile. If your days

27
00:01:36,885 --> 00:01:41,084
Speaker 2: just begun with clouds instead of sun, your socks don't match,

28
00:01:41,125 --> 00:01:45,525
Speaker 2: no battery on your phone. If the news is pretty grim,

29
00:01:45,965 --> 00:01:49,725
Speaker 2: dread and go on to the gym, just remember, silly bugger,

30
00:01:49,925 --> 00:01:55,565
Speaker 2: you're not alone, and always look on the broad side

31
00:01:55,685 --> 00:01:56,365
Speaker 2: of the dog.

32
00:01:56,685 --> 00:01:59,085
Speaker 1: So that's us. And if you are a listener of ours,

33
00:01:59,125 --> 00:02:00,605
Speaker 1: whether you or you you've been listening for a couple

34
00:02:00,645 --> 00:02:04,965

35
00:02:05,045 --> 00:02:06,765
