00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell Show.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Podcast show number one thousand. For us, it's just a

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: mini milestone for us, it's no big deal for you guys.

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: All we ever asked is that you give the show

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: a go, which you do every morning and if you

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: want to you can listen to the show.

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: That's just amazing. But we love it how you are

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: part of the show.

9
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Your stories in the last hour about your high school embarrassments,

10
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: of shames and not getting speaking parts. They are the

11
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: lifeblood of the show. We make it with you guys

12
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: every single day, and that's to join it. And I

13
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: do appreciate that when obviously I did start here some

14
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: one thousand shows ago and English guy, I know, an

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: English Guy of the Morning.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: There's quite a bit of a gear change Australia.

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: And it wasn't met with open arms, and I appreciate that.

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be the same thing from Australian washing

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: up in in England suddenly just putting himself on air

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: each day. But I will say this, don't ever waste

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: a midlife crisis.

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: If you find.

23
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Yourself in one, do something really big and crazy, like

24
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: moving to the other side of the world with your

25
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: family and deciding it might be quite a good laugh

26
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: to put yourself on the radio. Best thing we ever

27
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: did my family was moving here. We are so lucky

28
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: to have this life. And when I talk about that,

29
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: the reason is because actually, if there's no one given.

30
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: The show a go, even people who are like arms

31
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: folded to begin with, I get that I would have

32
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: been the same.

33
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, you still gave me a chance, which is

34
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: a very Australian thing to give someone a go.

35
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: And here we are.

36
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: There are lots of people around us and in the

37
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: industry said the show won't last. It's not really about

38
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: what we do so much. It's what you guys have

39
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: brought out in us, especially me as well. I think

40
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: I've been through about two hundred different versions. I think

41
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: I've actually been through a thousand different Christians in the

42
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: one thousand shows. So thank you very very much for

43
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: giving the show and go by that. You've given me

44
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: and my wife and my family a new life here

45
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: and this is home for us. If you ask Jackalbatti,

46
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: they would tell you we love it here. This is

47
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: where it's all about now for the rest of our life.

48
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: I love the honesty from this guy here Christian when

49
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: you first started. I actually sent you an email to

50
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: your boss saying who employed this twat from Britain? Ps

51
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm still listening, probably still wandering the same thing sometimes.

52
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: So thank you very much. Also a big thank.

53
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: You to Jack and Pats, because I've got no idea

54
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: what it must have been like for you guys, joining

55
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: this crazy adventure thinking I don't know, maybe he'll work,

56
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: maybe it'll be here for a year or so, But

57

Speaker 2: family of the last couple of years.

60
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Jackie boy, where was it for you? You were in

61
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: a very different place.

Speaker 3: Companies, truly is the adventure is the best word for you.

63
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I was coming off a decade with Hami,

64
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: she and Andy. It's the only job I'd ever had

65

Speaker 3: before was working on that show.

66
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: And then you really have been blessed one.

67
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: So I feel very honestly, very privileged to you with

Speaker 3: forever friends and people that I deeply love and and

70
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: I've really enjoyed the past five years. And also the

71
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: privilege of even meeting everybody who came out on Friday

72
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: night and people who are calling in on the phone

73
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000

75
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: for us to be able to do this.

76
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it's a lovely word. Patsy.

77
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: You you have You were just amazing from day one.

78
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: I remember just feeling that you had so much more

79
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: to give. You are a huge part of whatever this

80
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: show is.

81
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: You are a very very big part of it.

82
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, just seeing you really come into just being you, Patsy,

83
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: nothing else, just you.

84
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: You're incredible.

85
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: When the listeners see you or they talk about you,

86
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: they absolutely love you. And it is so hard. You know,

87
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: here's me saying it's hard for an English guy who's

88
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: unown to come here. It's way harder for a woman

89
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: in radio to actually be herself. You always castle these

90
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: very narrow rows now narrow sort of roles by men

91
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: in radio control radio. So to see how you've gone

92
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: the last couple of years has been amazing and a

93
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: real joy, Patsy.

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: I hope you've enjoyed it.

95
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: Oh, look, it has. It's been such a on it

96
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: for me, and you know, I still pinch myself every day.

97
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: There'd be so many people that you could have had

98
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: in this role, and the fact that you've given me

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: a chance and that you've given me I'm so emotional today.

100
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: The air in which to breathe and for me to

101
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: just be me means more than you'll ever know, and

102
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: it means a lot to me.

103
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Sorry, you deserve it.

104
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: You're such an amazing soul. I was going to say present,

105
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: You're just an amazing soul.

106
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Now you are.

107
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: I mean like when you introduced Paths onto stage on

108
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: Friday night with five hundred hour of our listeners, they're

109
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: the roar of the crowd. I mean you're just like

110
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: you're the fan favorite.

111
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you are, and you should be. Patsy No,

112
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: I just you know.

113
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: I think what I've learnt in the last five years

114
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: is that deeper connection. What I've sort of treasured most

115
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: of it is a deeper connection with the listeners and

116
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: in sharing my life, sometimes we tend to overshare, but

117
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: that's what a good Preaki presenter does.

118
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: We all know what you and your husband get up

119
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: till Saturday morning. I find myself throwing up at the

120
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: thought we beg you not to overshare, keep talk talk.

121
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: Us about that Saturday afternoon to night. Some of us nightmares.

122
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: No, but it's just that deeper connection with the audience.

123
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 4: And believe me, they've they've done more for me than

124
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: I could do for them. So thank you. I thank

125
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: you every day for the opportunity and I love you

126
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: both as you know.

127
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: All Right now, last couple of days, we've had a

128
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: little friend in the studio, right and he's a really

129
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: really lovely guy called Josh, and nobody's on reception, but

130
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: he's a very talented guy, and he's been looking after

131
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: Jack and I in the studio where nobody Rio would

132
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: sit or Kaitlyn. Our producers are on holiday at the moment.

133
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Obviously they didn't want to didn't fancy stick around to

134
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: say happy birthday to me.

135
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: They started to take that's the moment to take a holiday.

136
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: But now, Josh, I've noticed for the last hour you've

137
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: got a poem there.

138
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Yes, this isn't.

139
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: Rehearsed, by the way, I don't know what this is.

140
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: Is it going to make us cry because we're very emotional.

141
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 5: Not at all, not at all. It's just it's just

142
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: a love letter. I guess you would say.

143
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: Sorry hello, should said Chad, we want to do a

144
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: phone I didn't learn my lesson letter.

145
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't need a love letter.

146
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 5: It was inspired by Pats's beautiful poem around the Matildas,

147
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 5: and so this is just really something, I guess, a

148
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 5: message to everyone out there, but but mainly to you

149
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 5: guys as well. So it's for everyone, Josh, We're all yours, Christian,
