WEBVTT - MINI: 1000 Shows

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.920
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell Show.

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Podcast show number one thousand. For us, it's just a

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 2>mini milestone for us, it's no big deal for you guys.

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:10.319
<v Speaker 2>All we ever asked is that you give the show

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 2>a go, which you do every morning and if you

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>want to you can listen to the show.

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.240
<v Speaker 1>That's just amazing. But we love it how you are

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>part of the show.

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Your stories in the last hour about your high school embarrassments,

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>of shames and not getting speaking parts. They are the

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>lifeblood of the show. We make it with you guys

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>every single day, and that's to join it. And I

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>do appreciate that when obviously I did start here some

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 2>one thousand shows ago and English guy, I know, an

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>English Guy of the Morning.

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>There's quite a bit of a gear change Australia.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't met with open arms, and I appreciate that.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it'll be the same thing from Australian washing

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>up in in England suddenly just putting himself on air

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>each day. But I will say this, don't ever waste

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a midlife crisis.

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>If you find.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yourself in one, do something really big and crazy, like

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>moving to the other side of the world with your

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>family and deciding it might be quite a good laugh

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to put yourself on the radio. Best thing we ever

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>did my family was moving here. We are so lucky

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to have this life. And when I talk about that,

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>the reason is because actually, if there's no one given.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>The show a go, even people who are like arms

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>folded to begin with, I get that I would have

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>been the same.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, you still gave me a chance, which is

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>a very Australian thing to give someone a go.

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And here we are.

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>There are lots of people around us and in the

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 2>industry said the show won't last. It's not really about

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 2>what we do so much. It's what you guys have

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 2>brought out in us, especially me as well. I think

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I've been through about two hundred different versions. I think

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I've actually been through a thousand different Christians in the

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>one thousand shows. So thank you very very much for

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 2>giving the show and go by that. You've given me

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and my wife and my family a new life here

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and this is home for us. If you ask Jackalbatti,

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 2>they would tell you we love it here. This is

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>where it's all about now for the rest of our life.

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I love the honesty from this guy here Christian when

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you first started. I actually sent you an email to

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>your boss saying who employed this twat from Britain? Ps

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm still listening, probably still wandering the same thing sometimes.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>So thank you very much. Also a big thank.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>You to Jack and Pats, because I've got no idea

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>what it must have been like for you guys, joining

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>this crazy adventure thinking I don't know, maybe he'll work,

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe it'll be here for a year or so, But

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>there've been adventure. So thank you very much for all

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>your belief and everything you've done for me and my

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>family of the last couple of years.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Jackie boy, where was it for you? You were in

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a very different place.

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Companies, truly is the adventure is the best word for you.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was coming off a decade with Hami,

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>she and Andy. It's the only job I'd ever had

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>before was working on that show.

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>And then you really have been blessed one.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 3>So I feel very honestly, very privileged to you with

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 3>you both, and you are both of you a lifelong

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>forever friends and people that I deeply love and and

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>I've really enjoyed the past five years. And also the

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>privilege of even meeting everybody who came out on Friday

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>night and people who are calling in on the phone

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 3>this morning just to say congratulations and thank you. Thank

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 3>you from us as well, because it's a real privilege

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 3>for us to be able to do this.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>It is. Yeah, it's a lovely word. Patsy.

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 2>You you have You were just amazing from day one.

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I remember just feeling that you had so much more

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to give. You are a huge part of whatever this

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>show is.

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>You are a very very big part of it.

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, just seeing you really come into just being you, Patsy,

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>nothing else, just you.

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>You're incredible.

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>When the listeners see you or they talk about you,

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>they absolutely love you. And it is so hard. You know,

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>here's me saying it's hard for an English guy who's

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>unown to come here. It's way harder for a woman

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>in radio to actually be herself. You always castle these

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>very narrow rows now narrow sort of roles by men

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>in radio control radio. So to see how you've gone

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years has been amazing and a

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>real joy, Patsy.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope you've enjoyed it.

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh, look, it has. It's been such a on it

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 4>for me, and you know, I still pinch myself every day.

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 4>There'd be so many people that you could have had

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 4>in this role, and the fact that you've given me

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 4>a chance and that you've given me I'm so emotional today.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 4>The air in which to breathe and for me to

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 4>just be me means more than you'll ever know, and

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 4>it means a lot to me.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, you deserve it.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>You're such an amazing soul. I was going to say present,

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 2>You're just an amazing soul.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Now you are.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean like when you introduced Paths onto stage on

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Friday night with five hundred hour of our listeners, they're

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 3>the roar of the crowd. I mean you're just like

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 3>you're the fan favorite.

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, you are, and you should be. Patsy No,

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I just you know.

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 4>I think what I've learnt in the last five years

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 4>is that deeper connection. What I've sort of treasured most

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 4>of it is a deeper connection with the listeners and

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 4>in sharing my life, sometimes we tend to overshare, but

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 4>that's what a good Preaki presenter does.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>We all know what you and your husband get up

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 2>till Saturday morning. I find myself throwing up at the

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>thought we beg you not to overshare, keep talk talk.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Us about that Saturday afternoon to night. Some of us nightmares.

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 4>No, but it's just that deeper connection with the audience.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 4>And believe me, they've they've done more for me than

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 4>I could do for them. So thank you. I thank

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 4>you every day for the opportunity and I love you

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 4>both as you know.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>All Right now, last couple of days, we've had a

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>little friend in the studio, right and he's a really

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 2>really lovely guy called Josh, and nobody's on reception, but

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>he's a very talented guy, and he's been looking after

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Jack and I in the studio where nobody Rio would

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>sit or Kaitlyn. Our producers are on holiday at the moment.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Obviously they didn't want to didn't fancy stick around to

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>say happy birthday to me.

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>They started to take that's the moment to take a holiday.

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>But now, Josh, I've noticed for the last hour you've

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 2>got a poem there.

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this isn't.

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Rehearsed, by the way, I don't know what this is.

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it going to make us cry because we're very emotional.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 5>Not at all, not at all. It's just it's just

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 5>a love letter. I guess you would say.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Sorry hello, should said Chad, we want to do a

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>phone I didn't learn my lesson letter.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't need a love letter.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 5>It was inspired by Pats's beautiful poem around the Matildas,

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 5>and so this is just really something, I guess, a

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.719
