1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Welcome to episode four of After the Show. Yes, I

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: just looked around my two producers. Here the check. That

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: is what we called it. After the show. This is where.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: This is a post show meeting. This is Tuesday or

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: whenever you listen to it, whatever day you listen to it.

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: But we just finished Tuesday's breakfast show. Second week of

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: the Games in Paris, which has been so much fun

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: on the show. I'd love the games anyway, just watching

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: it probably been one of my favorite ones to enjoy

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: as a spectator.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Why do you think it is? Do

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: you know what? What I've noticed about these games is

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Australia has been in a lot more sports and had

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: they're more likely to win, and so we won in

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: a variety which has kept it really interesting because normally

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: we just watched the swimming and then we'rekind of like, oh,

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: that's it. But there's so many sports at the moment,

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: like surfing, for example, we're just this is Tuesday, so

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: we're just about to watch the Australian surfer going to

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: the final all twin gold, which is fantastic, But there's

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 3: also been other athletes and athletics. What else we one.

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Can SLA bmxing was incredible. It's the stories, isn't it nice?

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Because there's such a sort of our lives day to

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: day are rapidly changing now with the AI optimization of

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: of what is human what can be replaced by you know,

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: computers basically doing it quicker and better than us and

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: hyper processing and all that, there's still something amazing about

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: watching humans transcend their own limits and what we think

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: a human can do and even what they think they

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: can do. There's something that's really aspirational and really special

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: about it, even more so than previous games for me.

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, not just physically as well, like mentally, like Sire

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: in the BMX.

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: And always quit a couple of years ago and after

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: everything that, what she went through with her poor brother Kai,

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: and then doesn't quit and look at like Simone as

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: well in the gymnastics, has that kind of moment where

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: she walks away from sports she's one of the greatest,

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: probably is the greatest Demma and then has to go

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: back to it and do better. And now she's had

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: like five's moves named after her. But the thing that

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: leads the stays with me. That's so inspiration about Simone

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: is she almost lost it all and she did it.

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Not think in life we have to go back to

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: save yourself. And I think there's something really special about.

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: It, you know what. I don't know if this is

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: just me, but often every day, you know, we're surrounded

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: by negative news, and I think when their Olympics are here,

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: we're surrounded by greatness. We're surrounded by amazing moments, lifelong dreams,

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: and you're talking about it just now. All these moments

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: with Simone, with the Jess Fox, with her sister Naomi,

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: all of those and Saia sa Kaki Barrett, she was incredible.

54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: I think about those moments and the fact that when

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: I'm watching them, I feel this overwhelming joy and happiness

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: almost to tears of just going These are inspirational. These

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: are amazing and they make you feel really good, and

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: every day on the show we're able to celebrate them,

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 3: and we do that really well in just feeling in

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: the moment. That's what the show does really well in general.

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, it is. The world is a scary

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: place right now, you know. I think all the news,

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: what's been happening in the UK, and then all the

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: stuff that's happening in America as well and here in Australia.

65
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: You're right, it's such dark news, isn't it. We get

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: it a lot, and so there's actually something quite nice

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: where it's just joyous and it doesn't even matter about

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: all the goals. There was a lady who's fifty eight right,

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: that used to play for China. She's not playing table

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: turns with China anymore. It was another country. I can't

71
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: remember it, but anyway, you can google her name. It's

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: an incredible story. Anyway, they changed table tennis when they

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: took it from being just one sided to double sided,

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: and she quit. She was very disillusioned with it, and

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: then a couple of years ago she got back into

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: it and started coaching. Qualified for a different countries Olympic team.

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: She competed at fifty eight. She crashed out in the

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: first round, but she was crying with tears after her

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: loss because she said she rediscovered her joint in life

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: and it wasn't about she didn't win it to all.

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: She crashed out the prelims, but she gave her something back. Yeah,

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: And it's those stories that stay with you.

83
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Cam McAvoy, who won the fifty meter free for Australia,

84
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: said a really similar thing. His post race interview was

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: like nothing I'd ever heard. He won after fifteen years

86
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: of trying, he finally won the races being you know,

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: working at He's bombed out twice.

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: He was raging hot favorite the.

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Last two times, bombed out, and then discovered that if

90
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: he just actually stops training so hard, he will become

91
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, he was swimming faster than he ever has.

92
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 4: He gave up the sport.

93
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: He came back. He's only doing a couple of training

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: sessions a week. And he said, when I was swimming

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: in that race, every stroke was pure bliss. And he's like,

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I didn't care what I came. He's like, well, I'll

97
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: hit the war whenever I hit the wall. But every

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: stroke was pure bliss and it was the most like

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: magical thirty seconds of my life. And he won the race,

100
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: but he didn't you know, that wasn't really the focus

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: for him. I thought it was increact.

102
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: Now because what he'd done is he got into you know,

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: what they call the flow state, and it's when you

104
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: remove your value or any kind of self worth on

105
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: the outcome wo pressure, you know, and because they started

106
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago this mentoring, you know, helping

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: people speak more confidence in any situation. And where it

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: gets tricky for people is where they want a conversation

109
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: or a speech to go well, and they fixate on

110
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: them and control and a lack of believing in themselves.

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: They're true obsessed with trying to impress somebody else, so

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: the outcome becomes very important to them, and that's when

113
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: it becomes really hard. It's the same as performing at anything.

114
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: It's when you it's the same because people often say

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: to me, how do you feel about the ratings now

116
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: Australian Radio every five weeks do you worry about them?

117
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: When no, because ratings aren't why I get out of

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: bed in the morning. There's a different thing. It's the

119
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: joy of doing it. And that joy of doing it

120
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: isn't about I need today's show to go well. I

121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: can't even imagine thinking of them, because I know it

122
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: would it would get in my way. I like surrendering

123
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: to just to see what happens and having a belief

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: that I'm enjoying it. And actually, when you when you

125
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: focus only on the am I enjoying it. It goes

126
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: better anyway. Yeah, yeah, you know that's that's the same

127
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: for so many different things in our lives, is it

128
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: all right? So, in terms of show and ideas, Rio,

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: what have you? What's dropped in recently for you?

130
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: From today's show?

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: We spoke to Natalie when we were talking about what's

132
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: in your backyard? She had a great story about her

133
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: husband who set up firstly and Olympic sized trampoline in

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: their backyard. He then went to the footy oval and

135
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: grabbed a bunch of fence.

136
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: Posts I believe.

137
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fence post.

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Steel poles.

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 4: Yes, and I still not entirely sure why or what.

140
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: He was now there's no reason for them, but I

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: think possible.

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: Phoner, What did dad come home with?

143
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great yes. Yes. And dangerous dads.

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I have a story for dangerous dads.

145
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, because dad's back in the day used to be

146
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: a lot more lucy goosey and safety. Now it is

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: all the reinforced netting at the side of a trampoline,

148
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: you know, helmets for everything, knee pads as well for skateboards.

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: Was actually well, I'm actually it's incredible. Actually survived my childhood. No,

150
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: it's a miracle. I'm a survivor. Very few of us

151
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: around children of the eighties. We lost a lot of

152
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: good people. Yeah, we should do maybe on the countdown

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: to Father's Day, which is in September. Dangerous dads crazy

154
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: like that.

155
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: We also spoke. We didn't speak on air about it.

156
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: We spoke.

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: And this is where a lot of the ideas sort

158
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: of pop up in between songs, in between ad breaks,

159
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: and we're just sort of pissing around.

160
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: We ended up how did we get there? Oh, that's right.

161
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: We were doing two spin Tuesday, Yes, which was an idea.

162
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: We spin a water bottle, whatever direction it lands on,

163
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: that's the phone box you have to get to.

164
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so the north, south east west to compass

165
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: point point exactly. How to pick two of them?

166
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: And then we talked about doing some sort of expert

167
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: direction in game. Yes, and I'd love to talk about

168
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: it here because I'd hate to lose.

169
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: It, because I reckon I'm really good at directions. I've

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: always been really good at it when right.

171
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: So if you went outside the front of this building, yes, okay,

172
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: and I said walk to Craigieburne, which direction you go in.

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: No, not like that.

174
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's what the game is. What I'm saying. You

175
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: know your way home? Yeah, you drive every day, you

176
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: walk over the West Gate. No, no, no, it's literally

177
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: is people turn up to the building, we take the

178
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: phones off them, Yes, and they have an hour. We

179
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: give them a suburb to get to where they've never

180
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: been before, and they just have to set off. Can't

181
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: ask anyone for directions, can't consult a map or anything.

182
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: They can just use like the fingerlick direction, whatever they.

183
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: Want to use. But they can't use a mailways or

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: a map or Google Maps. Okay, they just have to

185
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: roughly think I think it's over that way and walk there.

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then do we put rio in the location

187
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: that they're walking to.

188
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: I think we'd have to have a spotted with each one,

189
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: so they generally don't kill any directions and hopefully they

190
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: do get lost.

191
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Okay. I wouldn't be good at that one. I'm always

192
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: good at the like where we left our car, and

193
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: then we'll be like it was left. I'm like, absolutely not,

194
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: it was right.

195
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: I always let those wrong.

196
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: I'm terrible with don't you take the photo? I always

197
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 5: set the photo of the nearby pillars. I always dad skills. Yeah,

198
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 5: that's that's a that's a dad skill because I always

199
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 5: get to the shopping center.

200
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: Go.

201
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: Should have taken a photo of the bloody parking spot.

202
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: I remem when we first moved here, right, everything was

203
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: just overwhelming and we went to Chadston for the first time,

204
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 2: which everyone here in Melbourne proudly says as the large

205
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: largest mall in the Southern Hemisphere.

206
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: Correct.

207
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: Not a lot of sort of competition if you look around.

208
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: What else is here? Not much in the Southern Hemisphere,

209
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: you know, Brazil, Iceland is it down here? Greenland? That's

210
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: the other one.

211
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: Indonesia, Indonesia.

212
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: Do you mean like a cold one?

213
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Coldie Antas that's the one. Anyway, we didn't

214
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: take a photo of the car. Becausedn't works how big

215
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: this was. There's multiple car parks of that, so we

216
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: had to get in that or buggy.

217
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: Oh.

218
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: So I'm sat in the front of the guy and

219
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm making small talk with him because we're going to

220
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: be in it for a while. We go like four

221
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: or five d the car, so I'm making small talk

222
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: with him and like you know, I've just moved it

223
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 2: from the UK. You from Nways, No, No, I'm from China,

224
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: and I go, oh, but you get Chinese people must

225
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: lose their cars as well, But you get quite a

226
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: few of your fellow countrymen. And he just went, Chinese

227
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: never lose cars. Wow.

228
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Okay, as a half Chinese person, I get firm.

229
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 4: Actually I have lost my current.

230
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: Will he be ashamed of you?

231
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: Isn't there a story about one of your parents losing

232
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: a car for days?

233
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 4: For days, not that I'm aware of that.

234
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: I wonder if anyone has lost their car for days.

235
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: Well, we did have that call the other week that

236
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: her boss left her car somewhere in the city and

237
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: had a few too many beds, and then her job

238
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: was to literally go and find her car.

239
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: And sorry, the only other small one quickly, that might

240
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: be nothing, but I just thought i'd mention it.

241
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: Pats he sitting there. It's been her lifelong dream to

242
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: be a celebrant.

00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: Yes, now, is.

244
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: There something we can do with that?

245
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: Definitely?

246
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I've always had a dream. And it's just because

247
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: of the name. To do four weddings in a cubicle. Okay,

248
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,720

Speaker 2: Why does someone to get married in a Cuban Now,

250
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

251
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: It was just a funny.

252
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: You know. They want their family and friends. Patsy's dream

253
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: isn't to do it in a horrible manner. I don't

254
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: have to do something nice, but you guys produce it

255
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: and make it into a horrible experience.

256
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: You want celebrancy, though those courses take like six months

257
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: a friendly.

258
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: They do, they don't do it.

259
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome everyone, We're here to celebrate the union. I

260
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: could do it right now.

261
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not legal. So if we wanted them

262
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: to do it legally, but we could just have someone

263
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: on the side and she could still do it.

264
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

265
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 3: We haven't done it, but we've always wanted to redo it.

266
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: Was the wedding in a week that was great, that

267
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: was amazing, So that could be something years ago.

268
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: When was it two thousand and two? We my producer

269
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: wanted to get married, and when we were in the

270
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: pub on Friday afternoon and he was like, you know,

271
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: we really want to get married, but we haven't got

272
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: the money. And I just read an interview right with

273
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Robbie Williams and he had become ordained online and in

274
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: the state of Nevada. You can just do it online.

275
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: Become a legally minister, so you can conduct weddings. Right.

276
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: So I said to her, oh, you know what I

277
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: can do that. It's like fifty bucks and I can

278
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: I do you wedding. But we've got to go to

279
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: to La to do it right, And so we went

280
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: on the next week. So we have no money because

281
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: the station we're working for XFM, there's no marketing money

282
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,400

314
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: around to the homes of all the famous people that

315
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 2: live in bel Air and I could believe you just

317
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,920

322
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: and the next day on there we opened it all

326
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: stalkers do. And you're like sending in clippings of your

327
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: hair and stuff.

00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Ye, I'm well, we can have a look, as you said,

333
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: like other countries, or I can even look into states

334
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: of where it could be easier for her to get

335
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: some sort of quick celebrate. But if we wanted to

336
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: do it here, we could. She just wouldn't be able

337
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: to leave, Yeah, which would be so she could be

338
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: so excited about it.

339
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: She'd love that. She'd do a great job as well.

340
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, alrighty Now I had a random idea. It came

341
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: off we did today in our three topic Tuesday, there

342
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: were you in the background of the TV. I didn't

343
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: know if there was anything fun in like promoting the

344
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: show and the first person to get in the background

345
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: of anything on TV with a Christian o'connorm shirt on

346
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: when something I don't know, I don't even know, like

347
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: we give them a thousand bucks. So our cooler of

348
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: the week say, we've still got that to give away

349
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: this week for example. But yeah, we just go if

350
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 3: you can make a shirt or you can promote to

351
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: our show and you make it behind something on TV,

352
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: then you're out.

353
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Win a well, it could be anywhere TV, radio, online,

354
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: it can be anything. Tonight the show, Yes we've done.

355
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: We did something similar called cash for Plugs. And I

356
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: remember there's the biggest rag station in the UK's Radio two,

357
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: and there's a mid morning phone in show there, right,

358
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: and it has like ten million listeners. It's huge. On

359
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: a Friday, it's a gardener comes on and it's very

360
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: middle aged British people talking about their peas and stuff

361
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: like this. One of our listeners got on right and

362
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: he starts off with going, oh, you know, I'm trying

363
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: to go some peace this year, and this old sort

364
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: of bumpkin all right there. Well, well, this time of years,

365
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: it is a it's a tough time Steven together, and

366
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: then the guy goes listen to the Christian O'Connell show.

367
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: Jeremy find that the host is a very serious man.

368
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: He live on air, went berserk, Well, what is this

369
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: some sort of prank Christians doing it? Went well, shame

370
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: on you, shame on you for doing this. Told the

371
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: guy off, correct right, told me off. This is all

372
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: on there, and then there's a gag and this poor

373
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: old gardener, you know, it's eighty, doesn't know what to do.

374
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: Did he want to know about the peas on it?

375
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: I had to get in the audio? Oh my god,

376
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: it's so good, He goes. He had a huge sense

377
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: of human failure. Jemmy Vine, fine, incredible, but yeah, Kusha plugs, yeah,

378
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: something like that.

379
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

380
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: And I like that idea of doing on anything. Yes,

381
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 3: and you just have to prove like snow and then

382
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: we'll check it out another name. And I don't know

383
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 3: why I'm doing this, but we are on it at

384
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: the moment. During the days we're giving away time, and

385
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: it's been this really I don't understand me either, but

386
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: that's all right. I kind of thought on a Monday,

387
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: it's the end of the weekend, and often you don't

388
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: get everything done that you want to get done. If

389
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: on a Monday, we could do something like and I

390
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: just have a name, ninety nine problems we can fix one.

391
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: We just fix we just.

392
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 3: Fix one problem. That's just the name. I don't know

393
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 3: if any out of it, but I feel like every

394
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: time I get to the end of a Sunday.

395
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you haven't done everything. There's always something on my

396
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: to do list.

397
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: There's still heaps left, and it'd just be.

398
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: Nice been a grown up as you never get around

399
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: to ticking off all the items on that list to

400
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: do list. Yeah, that's a great thing on a Monday.

401
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeh yes, it's a nice, bright way to even lighten

402
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: the load. I don't know, don't call it though, Okay, great, fantastic.

403
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: What is it called working totalist? I've got ninety nine problems, we.

404
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: Can fix one.

405
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: Oh, it's really good.

406
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: I like that. That's very good.

407
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: And the last one for me Father's Day coming up.

408
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: It's something that we've talked about a lot and we

409
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: haven't done it, but I think that there is a

410
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: lot of value in it. And we've talked about doing

411
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: Father's Day lunch. We've done them before and they're really

412
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: really great. And what we really loved about them was

413
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: it gave us a moment and you actually gave our

414
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 3: listeners the moment to talk about their dads in a

415
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: way that it was like, what does your dad mean

416
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: to you? And we've always had the idea of getting

417
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: listeners to writing a letter about whatever it is, and

418
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: I didn't know if we could do letters for data.

419
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: Oh the magic of reading out their letters, and yeah,

420
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: it's a lovely thing to do that because then you

421
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: give the letter, you get it framed, and we can

422
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: give it to the Yah.

423
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think it's such a small thing. But

424
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: I thought about it last night because I would I

425
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 3: love my father so much, I really do, and you know,

426
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: him and I talk every week. I forget to to

427
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: just tell him how much he means to me, and so,

428
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: you know, in the spirit of Father's Day, I just

429
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: think I would love to put how I feel about

430
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: him into a letter. And I think that, you know,

431
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: we talk about moments and enjoying you know, that little

432
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: piece of it a listener's life.

433
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: And yeah, that is so beautiful. It'd be so moving,

434
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: and yeah, giving that's the letter, we get them framed.

435
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: It's a lovely thing to have that.

436
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we can have a couple of them as well.

437
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: To write a letter. You'd be surprised how bad you

438
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: are writing when you start to actually write a letter.

439
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: Because she makes spelling mistakes. There's no auto correct. I know.

440
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: I actually tried to do this and tried to write.

441
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: We've seen.

442
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: I am not great. I'm not great with the spelling

443
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 3: our own. That was a call of according today and

444
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: it was on her. It was already connected to her number.

445
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 2: Written by you.

446
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: Beautiful even you know, people might not even give it

447
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 3: to us, but at least it starts the idea of

448
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: you do it for your dad.

449
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm worried though the younger generation don't write. I

450
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: don't know my kids know.

451
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: How to write, as you said, though they might make a.

452
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: TikTok for me dance, but no, a letter to your

453
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: dad and send it in to us and we read

454
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: them out is beautiful. I really like that. Thank you.

455
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: We should do that.

456
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that was a couple of ideas for.

457
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: Me, all right, come and things to me. Then as

458
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: we think about the remaining a couple of months, we've

459
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: got less. Right. So we're in August now and we've

460
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: got that four five months left on the year. I

461
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: always come like the last sort of big month of

462
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: the year in November, always think that we should be

463
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: doing something that gives back, right, I think is our

464
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: responsibility and I think it's very very important. So I've

465
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: been thinking about this a lot the last couple of weeks,

466
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: and over the last couple of years we've supported the

467
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: brilliant charity Backpacks of It Kids, right who really need help.

468
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm mean thinking this year whether you know, we get

469
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: these emails sometimes and when we did the Footy All

470
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: of Fame, you heard about these everyday heroes that we

471
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 2: just don't know about. And you know, year when they

472
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: do the list of who's winning the you know, the

473
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: Order of Australia, and you hear about these people and

474
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: that there must be people who we don't even know

475
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: about that do these incredible deeds and no one ever

476
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: knows about them, right and recently because I saw what

477
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: it was like when what the emergency services do when

478
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: you have to call them in a tough spot, and

479
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: saw what these people did when they turned up the

480
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: paramedics and then they just go back to doing more

481
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: of that, right, And I'm lucky because I was able

482
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: to talk about what Robin cast did the two paramedics

483
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: to turn out try and save my mother in law's life.

484
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: And I was so moved by this is what you

485
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 2: do every day and I've just seen a little wind

486
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: of it, right, And the great great joy was that

487
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: I could talk about that and name them. And then

488
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: also the woman who I don't even know was that

489
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: was the triple zero call taker that had to take

490
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: my wife, you know, to do CPR and was carrying

491
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: out the numbers for the doting rhythm. That's her every day, right,

492
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: that's her every day. It was a lot for my

493
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: wife and nine and our two daughters. We're going to

494
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: be posting us out for a long time. That's every day.

495
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: And so when I talked about it, I just wanted

496
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: to say thank you. You made the lovely thing about

497
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: it was I've got a lot of emails and people

498
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: that do that for a living. And the audio of

499
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: me talking about the triple zero call taker, I don't know.

500
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: They worked twelve hour shifts. It's an incredibly stressful job.

501
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: I think about did she know how it ended for Jackie?

502
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: Do they ever wonder what happened to that person. I

503
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: wonder how and it dele ever find out it got

504
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: sent internally around all of triple zero Victoria in this state,

505
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: right because no one thanks them. And I think that's

506
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: really really sad because imagine, just on an average day,

507
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: even if it's not a really life threatening thing, being

508
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: a warm, kind person to help someone in a moment

509
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: of need is just about the most important thing you

510
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: can do the most important thing you could do. And

511
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: I'd love to have some kind of show awards where

512
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: we could tell us about someone like Rob or Cass

513
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: whoever that woman is that was Dow on the phone,

514
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 2: and we celebrate those people and we give them like

515
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: you know, in this country, the big TV awarter called logis,

516
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: these will be the Goldies you know for our radio

517
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: station which is called Gold FM. And they're really what

518
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: they're the Goldiers. Saw people who actually do have a

519
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: heart of gold, and a heart of gold I think

520
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: is something which is hidden away and these people are

521
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: every day. They're hidden away. They're not on the news,

522
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: they're not celebrities doing good deeds when there are cameras around.

523
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: This is who they are. It's much what they do,

524
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: it's they serve and there are all kinds of people

525
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: like this, not just in Triple zero and first responders,

526
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: but there are people like sports coaches that go above

527
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: and beyond. And I think we you know, we're talking

528
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: about the Olympics and these stories. We hear these stories

529
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: and it reminds us of something that we can do

530
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: our better parts of ourselves. I think those everyday stories

531
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the year and maybe a week

532
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: of them or whatever we do and given people these

533
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: little wolves to say that you you you really matter

534
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: to people, you show up. I think it would be

535
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: a lovely thing to do at the end of the year.

536
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful idea and it's spreading, you know. You know,

537
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: it's kind of we don't do the show up until Christmas, but.

538
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 2: It is that. I didn't want to say that what

539
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: I was saying around the last big month of the year,

540
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: people thinking well there's another big one December thirty one days,

541
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: don't need to worry about those.

542
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: I was just going to say it was like the

543
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: Christmas spirit of coming together and celebrating people that deserve

544
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 3: it like that. That is the nicest, kindest I always love.

545
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: Reading about those stories. Yeah, just heroes, do you want

546
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: to some were talk about the Olympics, Macha, you want

547
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: to know that there's good people doing good work in

548
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: the world, because we hear an awful lot of the

549
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: other side of it, of bad people doing bad things

550
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: in the world. And so what a lovely thing that

551
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: those are, these everyday heroes that around us. They don't

552
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: shout about it. I mean when I saw the paramises,

553
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: go I was where are you going now? I went, well,

554
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 2: we go to the next call out, and I'm like, yeah,

555
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 2: of course you didn't. That's your job. Yeah, that's what

556
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: you do. And I saw it, but no one really

557
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: sees it or can actually talk about it and go, hey,

558
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: do you know about these people? Let me tell you

559
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: this story. And I think everyone knows someone like that. Yes, yeah,

560
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: who does something like that. That's just how they are.

561
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: It's not something that they show off or it's not

562
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: in a noisy, grandiose way. It's something more quiet and

563
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: every day in the background.

564
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they put their life on the line every day

565
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: more ways than one and partner does that.

566
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: It's an incredible thing to do.

567
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: And by that I don't just mean physical, I mean mentally,

568
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: like I have a lot of friends that are in

569
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: the emergency services, and you know the mental toll of

570
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: seeing stuff like that every single day. Whilst it might

571
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: not be immediate, it's forever there, and they do take

572
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 3: a big heavy weight every day on those types of things.

573
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's beautiful. And you know, we've

574
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: had stories like this along the show's journey where do

575
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: you I can't remember her name, but remember she'd had

576
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: an episode in her car and a guy had just

577
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 3: pulled over and helped her, and she never found him

578
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: and we tried to find him. Those stories would are

579
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: just magical and those people absolutely deserve to be celebrated.

580
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: So I think that's a lovely gift that we can

581
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: give them.

582
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's work out how we can do that.

583
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 4: That was lockdown.

584
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah great.

585
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: I love doing these. It's been a couple of weeks

586
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: since we've done them, but this is really nice. There's

587
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: loads of great ideas here, HETEs plenty, all right, and

588
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: as always, if you get any ideas or you want

589
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: to chip something our way, email me Christian at Christian

590
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: O'Connell dot com dot au. On that. The last thing

591
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: I want to say is I love hearing voice notes

592
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: and listeners. It doesn't matter whether you've got an idea

593
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: for the show or a funny story even about that.

594
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: If you just enjoyed listening to the show and you

595
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 2: want to send us a little voice note, I would

596
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: love that. There's something that's really magical. I would say this,

597
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: I love working and rated. There's something really magical about

598
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: the voice. Over the last couple of weeks, we've been

599
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: doing these Golden moments where Olympic gold medal winners have

600
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: been sharing their stories of one day, one gold what's

601
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: it like? And it was better because there was no vision.

602
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: There's something about hearing the voice which actually resonates and

603
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: has more power in it than if it was actually

604
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: on screen. And so yeah, if you just want to

605
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: send us a voice note, I would love that you

606
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: can just record it in your phones and an email

607
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: it over to me wherever you listen to this, wherever

608
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: you are in the world. Christian at Christian O'Connor dot
