Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: So when a billboard is back, we're giving away control
Speaker 2: of the billboards of Melbourne to you. Whatever message you
Speaker 2: want on there now on the line now, someone with
Speaker 2: a real life situation actually that I hope we can
Speaker 2: help with, not just in terms of the billboard, that
Speaker 2: actually between us listening up, but helps Sue and her
Speaker 2: family out. Sue, good morning, good morning. Now. First of all, Sue,
Speaker 2: I've only understood like half of this because I know
Speaker 2: you've just called in, you're at work, you're a nurse,
Speaker 2: but you've got you're up against a very, very sad situation.
Speaker 2: But I wanted to get you on as quickly as
Speaker 2: possible to see if there's anything we can do to
Speaker 2: help you out right now. But I've only heard half
Speaker 2: of it from my producer Tom. So forgive me if
Speaker 2: I make you rewind it. And it's a big situation
Speaker 2: for you. So what has happened and more importantly, how
Speaker 2: can we help you out?
Speaker 3: Well, my brother and well I call it my sister
Speaker 3: in law have been together for forty years, but they've
Speaker 3: never been married. And my brother unfortunately got a terminal
Speaker 3: diagnosis with a brain tumor, and he decided that he
Speaker 3: wanted to get married, so we had it booked for
Speaker 3: August nineteenth, but unfortunately, yesterday the hospital has told him
Speaker 3: to that advice him to move the wedding up. So
Speaker 3: it's this weekend and my neshew was flying in from
Speaker 3: Western Australia and I just wanted the billboard so that
Speaker 3: he can see it when we picked him up from
Speaker 3: the airport. I wanted the billboard to congratulations Brian and
Speaker 3: Heather on getting married, and just congratulations in the family really,
Speaker 3: because we're all a bit excited, but we're all in
Speaker 3: a bit of a tears because we've now got to
Speaker 3: organize a wedding in like four days. Was organized, but
Speaker 3: we've just got my persist well, like I said, well
Speaker 3: she's been my sister in law, but it's going to
Speaker 3: be a few sure, and so she's just went here
Speaker 3: back from the ex celebrant today as to whether we
Speaker 3: can still get the venue that they looked and things
Speaker 3: like that. But we're just trying to get everyone together
Speaker 3: in nicky split time.
Speaker 2: So first of all, I'm really really sorry to hear
Speaker 2: about your brother. So this is obviously just okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just can't believe what we're hearing. So
Speaker 2: this is obviously a very very very recent diagnosis for
Speaker 2: your poor brother.
Speaker 3: He had it. He got diagnosed probably about twelve months ago,
Speaker 3: but he had a few feasures on the weekend and
Speaker 3: it's just heightened the fact that it's got worse.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so he's supposed to be told he's only
Speaker 2: got a couple of weeks left.
Speaker 3: Well, they've said, they've said definitely read the winning up.
Speaker 3: They said the sort of said maybe three to four weeks,
Speaker 3: but it might be depending on the human spirit. But
Speaker 3: we're not sure how it's going to be.
Speaker 2: You see, so so how are you How are you
Speaker 2: dealing with how are you dealing with that? And then
Speaker 2: you're trying to plan a wedding?
Speaker 3: Well was much time actually because he's never been married,
Speaker 3: so it's been it's you if you are growing around again. Well,
Speaker 3: what do we have to do? We don't have to go.
Speaker 3: So my mail lady came through. You're doing my systems,
